Everyone was making small calculations, Zheng Lang was laughing secretly in his heart, but Zhao Zhen's forehead was dripping with fine sweat.

He is not an immortal, he doesn't know what Zheng Lang is thinking in his heart, he thinks that Zheng Lang is high-spirited and has an indifferent personality. It can also be called indifferent, but there are some stains as it rolls around in this large dye vat. If it fades again, it's not light, it's boring. Zhao Zhen didn't have the heart to think about whether he was indifferent, but the candidate for prime minister.

Zheng Lang retreated, making him miserable.

At the end of last year, there was a drought, there were a series of problems, when Zhao Zhen did not know the ability of Jia Changchao, it must be that he did not do a good job, compared with the three years of Qingli, how critical it was at that time, rebellion, uprising, banditry, the treasury had nothing, the drought was even more serious than now, and finally passed peacefully. Now, after a few years of rest and recuperation, it stands to reason that there is a large amount of grain in the treasury and some surplus money, and the problem is getting more and more serious, and it must be the trouble of Dongfu. This is the real reason why Zhao Zhen demoted Jia Changchao from the court. Wu Yu rushed and Gao Ruone pushed his hand, which was just the role of a fuse.

Not only Jia Changchao, but also Chen Zhizhong. According to his qualifications, Chen Zhizhong can be selected for the post of prime minister, but he is not at ease with Jia Changchao's ability, and he is also a little worried about Chen Zhizhong's ability Zhao Zhen.

In fact, in this case, unless the disaster stops, it is indeed a bit difficult to use Chen Zhizhong's ability. This person is not much different from Zhang Dexiang's ability, and it is not as bad as some people attack, he is a Chinese-funded ability, he can be the prime minister of the peace, and his ability to govern officials is slightly higher than that of Jia Changchao, but he can't be the prime minister of this emergency.

Chen Zhizhong can't do it, Xia Zhu seems to have some ability. But as a privy envoy, Yanchen hated to peel off Xia Zhu's skin and let him be the prime minister. The court will be upset. Ding Du is a newcomer, Gao Ruone is similar to Pang Ji and Wen Yanbo, and Song Zhen and Wang Yiyong are cautious and honest. It's good to be a deputy, but it's not enough to be prime minister.

Therefore, let Xia Zhu be the privy envoy, demote the prime ministers, and pave the way for Zheng Lang, not to mention anything else, how well Zheng Lang's disaster relief work has been done in the third year of Qingli, Zhao Zhen knows best in his heart. Correct......

I lost my mind, and I lost my temper. Asked: "The drought is so severe, who will bear the burden for me?" ”

Everyone was silent.

There is no one who is stupid.

Zheng Lang was silent, but he had a team in his heart, and any crisis would be solved soon, Zhang Fangping's three envoys were very good, the best in Xifu was Pang, and the deputy ministers were Wang Yaochen and Zeng Gongliang. Pang Wen and the others are unpredictable, but their ability to govern cannot be underestimated. Wang Yaochen put forward some very far-sighted opinions during the Shaanxi campaign. Zeng Gongliang is a military strategist and an arms expert.

Dongfu himself, plus Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi, Fu Bi went through these several blows. He will no longer be fooling around like before, and his talents will be fully utilized. The team is not complicated, except for Pang Wen and the others, the other four are all moderates, and they will not cause much dispute.

With Wang Su, Cai Xiang, Bao Zheng, and Wu Yu as Taiwan's ministers, they can admonish in the court, and can be used as inspectors to inspect the place, and many problems will be quickly solved. What Chen Zhizhong, Da Song, Ding Du and Wang Yiyong, Xia Zhu, and Gao Ruone, have to be delegated together.

But if you think like this, can you implement it?

At this time, no matter what kind of feelings he has for Zhao Zhen, he can't show his face.

You have to endure it.

Everyone was silent together, but Zheng Lang heard the sound of the abacus beads knocking louder.

Zhao Zhi couldn't help scratching his ears, no, let's let Zheng Lang hand over first, it's a big deal to call him to the palace for a separate interview, and the others are not at ease, it's still Zheng Lang. was about to order a banquet, Zheng Lang suddenly said, "The minister still has a advice." ”

"Come on."

At the beginning of the New Deal, Cai Xiang mistakenly thought that the Shenguo Guild was worried about the New Deal, and advised His Majesty to edict that the ministers should not have private banquets, in order to imprison the Shenguo Gong. His Majesty also agreed to this advice, which caused a lot of inconvenience. The ministers were hindered by the edict and all obeyed it. However, the deacons were always in charge of the affairs of the state, and in many cases, they could not draw conclusions in the various yamen, but also had to consult with their subordinates, and also consulted with their colleagues, pooled their wisdom, and solicited opinions. However, after this edict was issued, his ears and eyes became deaf. Or use this to prescribe the courtiers to form a party. Even if there are some edicts, the party is still the party, and those who use means to frame their ministers continue to use the means. The intrigues of the ministers could not be stopped, and the parties of the ministers were not prevented. However, it caused the ruling ministers to be unable to see clearly. The minister thought that this edict was wrong. Please ask Your Majesty to amend this edict and restore the previous decree, the ministers are not allowed to make friends with private parties, are not allowed to flatter the powerful, and are not allowed to extort and accept bribes, but for the convenience of government affairs, they can feast guests moderately, thinking that the ministers can make decisions more clearly when they are in power. ”…,

This edict made Fan Zhongyan very bitter at that time.

In fact, Zheng Lang and Han Qi have violated it several times, but in the end it is inconvenient, once or twice by accident, no one has impeached, and it is customary to take it for granted, and there must be Yanchen looking for a handle. Even if he went to the Privy Council, he was not really accompanied, and there were also a lot of affairs in Xifu.

If you want to do good, this edict weighs on your head like a great mountain and must be abolished.

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said, "Quasi, Zeng Qing, draft edict." ”

Zhang Fangping glanced at Zheng Lang, but Zheng Lang didn't see it. Even in the Privy Council, he has a lot to do. The military, in particular, must lay a solid foundation for the future.

When the wine and food came up, Zheng Lang took a sip of wine and enjoyed it.

In the Khitan, it is better to eat out of the birds, or the Song Dynasty. Look at this prawn, wrapped in starch, wrapped in sucrose, rolled into golden brown through the oil pan, fragrant, crispy and delicious, look at this little chicken, dipped in Qin pepper and pepper, spicy and delicious, even if this dish of lettuce, accompanied by sesame oil, garlic, is also sweet, lips and mouth.

Eating deliciously, the other ministers watched him eat together, dumbfounded.

Zhao Zhen just smiled, he had also heard of some Khitan eating habits, Zheng Lang was an only son since he was a child, and he grew up with a golden key, this time he suffered a lot, a rare good minister.

Only Zheng Lang doesn't care, he eats calmly, and if he changes other ministers, he is somewhat restrained.

Watching him happily, a pair of beautiful eyes behind Zhao Zhen stared closely, his face was gradually full of peach blossoms, red and purple, and then looked at the behavior of other ministers, in her eyes, everyone else was ordinary people, no matter how good the skin was, only this minister who had a close relationship with her. is a handsome gentleman, and his bearing is unrivaled in the world. But no one else noticed it and was thinking about it......

The feast is over. Zheng Lang wanted to hand over so that he could go home, Zhao Zhen suddenly said, "Zheng Qing." You stay. ”

The other ministers were a little gloomy when they heard this, whether they were prime ministers or not, no one could match this favor. Some ministers are also relieved, if they are emperors, there is a minister who can do these things for himself, and he will also be favored by him.

Zheng Lang had no choice but to stay.

"Follow me to the Ying Pavilion."

"Whoa."

Zhao Niannu followed and said to Zheng Lang: "Zheng Xianggong." I'm so worried in the palace. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness the Princess, for your concern."

"I'm glad you're back," Lori said, stroking her chest. Then he held Zhao Zhen with one hand and Zheng Lang with the other, his face full of happiness.

"Your Highness, it's not appropriate." Zheng Lang wanted to pull his hand.

"Zheng Qing, don't be bound by vulgarity, since I heard some bad news from you. Fukang was so anxious in the palace that he cried," Zhao Zhen said. He thinks farther than Zheng Lang, his health is not very good, and he has no children, and he is benevolent as the emperor. But what about the others who are kings? He can't do it, it doesn't mean he doesn't understand, there are not too many records in the history books.

Where could Zheng Lang have thought that Zhao Zhen had such a mind in his heart, so he had to owe his body and walk on the side.

When he arrived at the Ying Pavilion, Zhao Zhen looked at a stack of books, and his expression was a little gloomy at this time, all along, he wanted Zheng Lang to educate his son, but ......

Let Zheng Lang sit down and say, "Zheng Qing, the drought is serious, the people are displaced, and the former Duzai has lost his ......."

Of course, Zheng Lang knows that this year's drought is not as scorched as the scorched earth during the Jingyou period, but it is very common, and it has only opened a small head, and there is still it later, and the price of rice in Jiangnan will rise to 3,000 wen per stone. In normal times, the price of rice in Jiangnan only fluctuates around 500 meters, which has risen six times, not to mention the north. This is the Song Dynasty, if it is replaced by the Tang Dynasty, I don't know how many people will starve to death. I remember that the history books said that during the reign of Li Zhi, the price of rice in Guanzhong floated to 100 wen per bucket, so he starved for thousands of miles.

But there was no big mess, it was a scabies of ringworm.

It can be heard that Zhao Zhen's intentions are that he is the prime minister, and he is still mainly for emergency relief, rather than governing the future of the Song Dynasty. Yes, continue to back down. Xu Xu said: "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter, the chaos is a hasty ......"...,

Pause.

"What are you thinking?"

"I want to store grain." Zheng Lang thought carefully and thought for a long time before he said: "The minister returned to Beijing, listened to his wife talk about the affairs of the Beijing division, and said that Wu Dingchen and Wu Yujin of the imperial history in February, said that the military grain was transferred from Jianghuai to Beijing, and it accumulated years and then branched, so the grain was too old, and the fight was insufficient. ”

"Yes, I have sent an inner servant to picket."

The ministers also heard it, and the palace commanded Li Zhaoliang to think that it was a good government, and the country observed the suffering of the soldiers, and led Luo to thank His Majesty for his grace. But in the end, it is not a long-term calculation, in fact, since the three years of Qingli, the treasury is empty, even if there is old grain, rotten grain will not be produced. Where does this rotting grain come from? ”

"yes." Zhao Zhen pondered.

"Your Majesty, whether the warehouse is not properly scheduled, or there is no grain in the account, or the bucket is insufficient, or the rotten grain appears, or there is a problem in the warehouse, now the minister has just returned to the capital division, and I don't know about it, after Rong Chen investigates, he will write a report to His Majesty." Zheng Lang knew what the problem was, but there was no evidence, so he couldn't talk nonsense.

"Exactly."

"Moreover, if it is not for the ministers who are not authorized by His Majesty, Your Majesty, this world is like the sky, it is the world of all the people under the world, the sun, the moon and the stars, the people and the ministers are the stars, Your Majesty is the sun and the moon, and the stars revolve around the sun and the moon, not the sun and the moon revolve around the stars, the heaven and the earth will be abnormal, and if it is the world, the country will be lost. All the people and ministers of the world can only revolve around His Majesty, including the ministers. A country can lack ministers, it can lack other ministers, it can lack some people, but it cannot lack His Majesty. This center is His Majesty, not the minister. If there is something in the country, the minister needs to preside, the minister has no selfish intentions, and His Majesty's wisdom can also control it, but the minister is afraid that this bad example will be followed, and future generations will imitate it, and there will be Li Linfu and other traitorous ministers, which will damage the country and the world will be in danger. And the ministers are envoys, and there is no merit, why not degrade but promote? Your Majesty, please think again. ”

I can't solve everything as soon as there is something, I can't say it directly, I can't say it very implicitly.

In fact, it is all prevarication, in short, this prime minister will definitely not do it at this time.

He also said: "As for the drought, the problem should not be serious, the main thing is the warehouse, and after the minister's investigation, the warehouse grain will be solved, and the drought will be resolved naturally." And the minister went to the Khitan, for more than a year, all the affairs of the West Mansion in his heart, if he took over the East Mansion, he was not prepared in his heart, and in a hurry, there would be many mistakes, which were not good things. ”

Zhao Zhen asked, "Who is the prime minister?" ”

Zheng Lang finally lost his temper, who is the prime minister, why do you ask me? (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
