Chapter 242 Water and Drought (Part 2)(2/2)

The only ones who still hold the power now are Sima Mo, King of Nanyang in Zhenguanzhong, and Taifu Sima Yue himself.

After Sima Yue entered Beijing, the first thing he did was to relieve Yanzhou Mu and lead Situ.

Wang Yan became a Taiwei.

Wang Dun was also appointed as the governor of Yangzhou, and Shangshu Youpu Sheshan Jian was appointed as the governor of Jingzhou and established Xiangyang.

In addition, with Wang Bing as the left guard general and He Lun as the right guard general, the two most powerful imperial troops were in the hands of the right guard general Pei Kuo. In other words, he was purged.

And this is probably just the first step in the purge storm that Sima Yue will carry out.

He has been away from Luoyang for too long. There are too many officials and people in the Forbidden Army who have violated him openly and covertly. It is still too late to clean them up. If it is later, things will be much more difficult, and it may even be impossible to clean them out at all.

Shao Xun only received so much information for the time being, but it was enough for him to analyze for a long time.

"The Tutor still needs Wang Yan." The palace servants washed some mulberries, presented the sheep and asked them to disperse, then brought a plate with their own hands and placed it on the table, and said softly.

"He is a Situ now, not a Taifu." Shao Xun said.

When he first came to Luoyang, Sima Yue was Sikong.

After running away to Xuzhou for one year and seven months, he returned to Beijing and became a Tutor.

This time I wandered around Xuchang, Juancheng, Puyang and Xingyang for two years before returning to Beijing and becoming a Situ again.

I don't know what the fuss is about.

Wang Yan followed him and also changed the three positions along the way, from Shangshu Zuopushe to Sikong, then Situ, and now Taiwei.

"Are you worried?" Yang Xianrong lay facelessly on the table, looked at Shao Xun, and asked.

"I am indeed very worried." Shao Xun said helplessly: "If I were Situ, I would indeed think about cleaning up the court and banning the army, but now is really not a good time."

"Why?"

"It's inevitable that you won't be able to hold back once you're purged. By then, everyone in the court will be in danger, and the people in the imperial army will be distraught."

Yang Xianrong fiddled with a mulberry and asked: "You are in Guangchengze, with a crowd of more than ten thousand, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid that Liu Yuan will take advantage of the situation and come to kill him." Shao Xun said: "This year is very likely to be severe drought. The entire Henan Province will not say that there is no harvest, but there will definitely be a severe harvest failure. If it is still devastated by war, how will the people survive next year?"

After a drought strikes, the most dangerous thing is not the current year, but the next year.

Because we still had some food reserves that year, we could barely cope with it, but what about the next year?

According to experience, it is easy for a locust plague to occur after a severe drought. If the locust plague breaks out on a large scale next year, it will be a fatal blow.

Shao Xun wondered whether Henan was the worst hit this time.

He has been thinking about this issue in recent days.

In history, the final fall of Luoyang was not unrelated to the severe famine.

This is certainly related to the fact that water transportation was cut off by Liu Han's army and taxes from other places could not be transported into the capital. However, the continuous outbreak of drought locusts around Luoyang must also be a major factor.

This time of severe drought, Henan is probably the hardest hit area.

Compared with Henan, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Yangzhou and Jingzhou may not be so serious.

God is really going to destroy the Jin Dynasty. There is no way.

Even God won’t help you! Have you done anything that makes God very unhappy?

Disasters from the sky completely collapsed Luoyang, which was still barely holding on. The balance of power between Jin and Hungary has undergone major changes - the damage caused by agricultural society, drought, and locust plagues may far exceed the losses on the battlefield. It is purely a dimensionality reduction blow.

.

"In this world, everyone is just protecting themselves. As long as they wait until May and slowly harvest the wheat, what are they afraid of?" Yang Xianrong tilted his head and looked at Shao Xun and asked.

"Guang Chengze alone cannot defeat the Huns." Shao Xun joked: "If Luoyang cannot be defended, I'm afraid I will take you away."

"Take me... to run alone?" Yang Xianrong asked softly.

After saying that, his face turned slightly red.

Shao Xun stretched out his hand and slowly approached Yang Xianrong's lips.

"You..." Yang Xianrong wanted to shrink back, but it seemed that he couldn't use all his strength and was completely frozen.

Shao Xun wiped the mulberry juice from the corner of her mouth and said, "I will definitely take you with me."

Yang Xianrong's face was as red as that morning on Zhengdan last year.

"Have you thought about it?" Yang Xianrong buried his face in his arms and asked in a muffled voice.

"What are you thinking about?" Shao Xun was puzzled.

Yang Xianrong turned his head, looked down the mountain, and said softly: "If you provoke me, all those messy women in the family will be sent away."

Shao Xun quickly retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted, put it behind his head, looked at the white clouds in the distance, gently rocked the recliner, and stopped talking.

There was mist in Yang Xianrong's eyes.

She was really a little aggrieved.

You are from a famous family, and you are still a queen. I have condescended to you and favored you, but you are still not satisfied...

But soon, she remembered that Shao Xun said to her "Don't be afraid" amid the light and shadow of swords in Tai Chi Hall.

She also remembered that when she fled to Liang County, Shao Xun, wearing armor and holding a sword, stood guard outside the door all night, soothing her frightened mind.

I also remembered that during the New Year, Shao Xun used his chapped fingers to prepare firecrackers for her in the cold wind.

Then she remembered that he said to her personally, "What happened in the past will never happen again."

Yang Xianrong was a little confused again.

"Life is impermanent." Shao Xun suddenly said: "For example, this fragrant orchid——"

As he spoke, Shao Xun stood up and walked to the railing, pointed to the orchid grass outside, and said: "Born between spring and summer, it is elegant and graceful, with outstanding grace. However, as summer turns to autumn, the days become shorter. When the autumn wind blows,

The years are falling away..."

"Are you laughing at me?" Yang Xianrong glared at him.

"I'm talking about myself." Shao Xun walked up to her and said softly: "Life is unpredictable, and no one can predict what will happen in the future. I have a lot to do, I have great ambitions, and I have some womanly kindness.

, want to save this

I don’t know how long the war with the Xiongnu will last. Maybe one day I will be defeated and die. Just like this fragrant orchid, which was lush and lonely at first and outstanding, but finally fell into pieces and turned into mud.

No success."

"I really don't dare to offend Queen Hui. I'm resigning. I'm going to see the dike later."

"The empress Hui sent people to build the embankment. It may be able to save many people. I am very grateful."

After that, he turned around and went down the mountain.

When I reached the bottom of the mountain, I quietly wiped the sweat from my forehead.

Yangyang hasn't figured it out yet, why not go and sit with Princess Fan Yang.

Of course, this is a joke.

Shao Xun soon arrived at the Silver Spear Army's station and began training sergeants.

What can be done to deal with natural disasters? What can be done has been done.

If possible, he hoped that this year's theme would be drought relief, but obviously this is wishful thinking.

The history of mankind is a history of war.

Fighting each other is the main theme.

If the Huns are coming, then come, and at worst, kill them quickly. Let people like Liu Yuanhai, who take advantage of the situation, see that your people are a bunch of shit.
