Seeing Wang Yan finishing his words, he stood there quietly, and did not continue to say downwards. Obviously waiting for a response, Lu Yijian said to Xu Ping: "What Wang Yan said makes sense, Xu Ping, do you have something to say?"

"When I go back to my grandfather, I will ask Deputy Envoy Wang to finish the talk. Liu Zhi will write down one by one, and the subordinates will talk about these doubts about Deputy Envoy Wang. Deputy Envoy Wang said very well just now. If he interrupted his thoughts, wouldn't it be a pity? Digging rivers and canals, such a profound and profound world event, is necessary to have such a different idea to avoid mistakes as much as possible."

Wang Yan sneered in his heart. Xu Ping was still pretending to be calm. Tenzhi didn't know how to answer. Use this excuse to buy time for himself. Let's first think about a plan? So what! He has prepared so many days and has considered everything. He has taken Xu Ping's life gate accurately and was afraid that he would turn the world over!

Zhao Zhen was a little worried. He had already heard what Xu Ping said, and he had full confidence in the construction of canals and was ready to use it as the first major project since he took power. It was done beautifully and left some relics for his descendants a hundred years later. Now, after just listening to Wang Yan's first reason for opposition, he felt shaken. Wang Yan's words were reasonable! Henan Prefecture is not an ordinary place. Although Emperor Taizong's subsequent move to Luoyang was not mentioned much, it was still Xijing. What is more important is that the imperial tomb is located, and it cannot be used at all. If the channel is built, it will not be used. If half of it is thrown there, he will become a laughing stock in the future! Zhao Zhen cared very much about his image as an emperor. He suffered many grievances that other emperors could not bear, just for a good reputation. How could he do such a thing?

As for the two prime ministers, Wang Zeng was a loyal elder, and Wang Yan had just contradicted him, so he didn't take it seriously. For him, what was more important was to hear the real reason for opposing the opening of the channel. He did not agree to start a large project at this time, so as not to make the young emperor who had just taken charge of the rule and become too radical in his governance. But Wang Zeng was not the kind of person who did not do anything for the purpose. If he opposed it, he had to have a truly reliable reason for opposing it, and he could not oppose it for the sake of opposition.

As for Lu Yijian, he doesn't care whether he opens a channel or not. The key is that his power must be consolidated, and he will try his best to deal with the government under this premise. Between public and private, the word "private" is put in front of it, but it will not abolish the public because of private. Of course, if you can suppress Xu Ping, who is very popular recently, and let the three officials stop away from the trend of their control, it is undoubtedly the best. Public and private affairs are both favorable, which is what Lu Yijian likes to do the most, and it is happy to do it.

As for the others, because they did not have an in-depth understanding of the introduction of Luo to Bian, they listened to the two deputy envoys of the Three Divisions. Xu Ping made a point of saying it, they supported Xu Ping, and Wang Yan said it was reasonable, and they also praised it, they were the bystanders of the incident. Of course, the weight of the bystanders was still very important when making decisions.

Seeing the reactions of the people in the hall one by one, Wang Yan's confidence was even more intense, and his body, which had been tense, began to relax, and his whole aura became different.

Holding the scepter in both hands, Wang Yan whispered loudly: "The second thing is that it is not possible to build the canal. It is still too much manpower to open the canal. Naturally, the material resources can be allocated from the nearby prefectures and even from the entire Jingxi Road. But what should we do? Zhengzhou, Mengzhou and Henan Prefectures are all Xiongzhou, but after the late Tang and Five Dynasties, even after decades of cultivation and rest, it still has withered. Emperor Taizong wanted to build the Xianghan canal, and transferred the civil servants of several dozen states, and finally lost a box of hard work. The most regrettable thing is not that the canal was not completed, but that the civil servants of more than a dozen states had countless casualties and wounded, and the prefectures have been withered to the present. The army of the past is only a canal of 10 to 20 miles, but now it is several times longer, and we have to learn from the past!"

Hearing this, Mei Xun couldn't help but curl his lips. Xianghan Cao Canal was built in the mountains. Xu Ping now said it very clearly. It was mainly digging sand on the Yellow River beach. What could it be the same? However, with the example of Wang Zeng just now, he would not stand up and say. Who knew that Wang Yan had dug a hole, and when you stood up and said, he would say "Bachelor, you misunderstood". That's so embarrassing. Mei Xun is not a loyal elder like Wang Zeng. He doesn't care about such face-to-face matters. He doesn't have that kind of virtue, and he doesn't have the awareness of cooperating with Wang Yan.

Most of the people in the hall understood that Wang Yan's words were a bit ruling, but they pretended not to hear them. Even Xu Ping was on the side without saying a word. Everyone was used to big scenes, so how could they care about such false things? For Xu Ping, it was enough to solve the problems raised by Wang Yan one by one, and he thought that the more nonsense he said, the better.

Seeing that Wang Yan had said something, no one had any doubts, and he felt a little proud. He thought about what his words were wrong. He was certainly clear about what he had, so he was talking about the little flower head when he was talking about the first one. One was to attract other people's attention, and the other was to prevent someone from standing up for questioning later.

When Lu Yijian saw Wang Yan looking around, he said in a deep voice: "Wang Yan, continue talking, it's getting late!"

Wang Yan looked shaking and secretly warned himself not to be careless, and not to turn Xu Ping over because of his own mistakes. He respectfully held the scepter and took the order to Lu Yijian.

"As for the third point, it is manpower. Even if the court ignored the difficulties of people's livelihood, gritted its teeth and barely built the canal. Xu Waijian said it very clearly just now. This canal was built on the beach of the Yellow River! The Bian River just led the Yellow River, and it was not known how much manpower was spent on dredging every year. The canal built on the beach of the Yellow River is just because the water of the Luo River is clearer than that of the Yellow River, and the manpower will be maintained? Wang doesn't believe this! Not to mention that once the Yellow River floods, the entire canal will be completely covered for a long time.

Filling and dredging is equivalent to digging the canal again. It is already so difficult to dig the canal again and again, and with the endless digging again and again, how can we support it with the people's strength of the two prefectures and one prefecture along the coast? Heavy combat will inevitably cause people to flee. If there are fewer people who flee to serve, there will be a lot of work to do, and the service will become heavier. What will happen if this continues? I don't think I'm talking nonsense here. In recent years, the Yellow River has been broken every year, or even a year of decisive efforts. Why do you have to wait for many major floods?"

The Northern Song Dynasty was a period when extreme weather occurred particularly frequently in Chinese history. Water, drought and locust plagues occur every year, and the Yellow River far exceeded the usual practice of breaking every two years, and it was not rare to count the finals in a year. From this point of view, Wang Yan was not an empty statement, at least there was some factual basis.

Wang Yan also felt that everything was reasonable. After saying the last sentence, his waist was straight and his eyes were straight ahead, as if there was a terrifying and inviolable aura on him.

After a while, Wang Yan slowly came to his senses from the aura he created and held the scepter to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, I have finished talking about the three things that I cannot cultivate in the river and canals, so I will return the order!"

Zhao Zhen took a deep breath, and his thoughts were taken away by what Wang Yan said, deeply feeling that the canal could not be dug. It was not until Wang Yan returned to his senses and turned to Xu Ping to feel pitiful: "Xu Ping, I wonder if you said that Wang Yan was not able to practice, so what you could do was to practice?"
