Chapter 511: Against the Heavens

Zheng Lang talked about Confucianism for a while, and Zhao Zhen said: "Zheng Qing, use tea." ”

Although Lu Yijian is good, it is true that the country has produced many crises, and his steps are small, so he uses Fan Zhongyan, which makes him even more disappointed. Now that the taste has changed, Zheng Lang governs the country with Confucianism, and he has to understand what Zheng Lang's so-called Confucianism is.

Zheng Lang was also polite, took a sip of tea and moistened his throat.

Zhao Zhen said: "Zheng Qing, your Confucianism is very novel. ”

It's really novel, and almost all of them are dumbfounded by Jia Changchao, Zeng Gongliang and Ding Du, and they don't know whether it's better or not.

"Your Majesty, Confucianism is broad and profound, and there are many places that the minister has not yet figured out."

"Have you been writing those two books of Gewu and arithmetic?"

"I'm writing, but I only wrote an outline and handed it to a student in my family to annotate, and time is ...... tight" Zheng Lang was also speechless, doing so many things every day, and taking time to come to Yiyingge to talk for Zhao Zhen, so free?

"What is that student's qualifications?"

"Your Majesty, he is only interested in Gewu, he is not familiar with the scriptures, poems and books, and he is not interested, and his career has no chance with him."

"If he learns things well, I will give him an official position."

"Your Majesty, although I have a slight suspicion of the new policy, Your Majesty's officials can no longer be rewarded indiscriminately, otherwise the redundant officials will become more and more redundant, which is also the biggest drawback of our dynasty."

"No matter how redundant, can you still use useful people?" Zhao Zhen stood up and looked outside, the peonies outside were blooming brightly, coquettish, like a noble lady, blooming on the tips of the green leaves.

"Zheng Qing, accompany me outside to enjoy the flowers."

"Whoa."

The two came to this cluster of purple and red peony flowers, and Zhao Zhen said: "Zheng Qing, you have entered the palace many times and made great contributions, why don't many ministers have conflicts with you?" ”

This is a euphemism, why are you the most favored by me, and the credit is great, and no one is trying to discredit you?

"I don't know. Please give me advice, Your Majesty. ”

"You have a weak temperament, you don't care much about power, you won't recruit others for power, and there will be fewer people recruiting you." Zhao Zhen: This is something to say. He also said: "And you have a Khitan party in a few years, and they are busy." ”

Zheng Lang couldn't cry or laugh.

"You will eventually bloom, once you bloom as brilliantly as this peony flower, I am afraid that it will be as quiet as it is now, absolutely impossible. People are as light as chrysanthemums, although they have a gentleman's style, but sometimes they can't be too light. This is also your golden mean. Zhao Zhen said lightly.

The words are very meaningful, the gang of people in the party are either angry, or thieves and thieves, Zheng Lang has proposed many times that he wants to go back to wait for a few mothers, but Zhao Zhen refused, for fear that he would be annoyed, so he resigned and returned to his hometown in anger. That's a big problem. Who will the court hand over to in the future, except for Zheng Langke's trust, he is looking for it. Didn't find a suitable candidate.

He is also paying attention to several governors, and only Jia Changchao has the most indecisive hits in the middle palace, and Jia Chaochao is a little worse than these two people. Fan Zhongyan hit almost none of them in the Middle Palace, and Zheng Lang did, very few. Both of them are working diligently, but Zheng Lang has implemented almost everything, and he has not shown his water, so that outsiders think that Zheng Lang has not done anything. Fan Zhongyan continued to be vigorous, of course. His plan is too big, and all kinds of disputes arise. It's okay, you like to do things quietly, you can do things in a quarrel, you have to get things done. It's done, not done!

Of course. It is impossible for him to hand over the future to Zheng Lang alone, and he continues to look for and observe, but Zheng Lang is the most important person for him to reorganize the court in the future.

"Your Majesty, I am not ready, once I truly take over the burden of Your Majesty's trust, for Your Majesty, I will not die a tragic death, but live a humble life. But these peony flowers are all bloomed for His Majesty.........,

"I Qing, they are all my flowers, will I still eat the taste of a flower in the garden? But I want a garden full of fragrance, not a single branch. ”

Speaking of this, what else can Zheng Lang say?

Fact: Zhao Zhen continued to give Fan Zhongyan time, but became more and more impatient.

Shuiluo City continued to quarrel, and in the end, the New Deal failed, and the matter has not ended.

Fan Zhongyan faintly felt that things were not good, and wrote to Zhao Zhen to summon Yin Zhu back to Jingshi and enter the two systems. The main thing is that Yin Zhu stayed in Weizhou, Yin Zhu entered the capital, and no one in the local area made trouble for Liu Hu, Zhang Yu was only a military general, and without the participation of scholars, he still dared to rebel against the sky? The battle over Shuiluo City will come to an end.

The best of both worlds.

Zhao Zhi refused, and Yin Zhu did not call or move.

This time the warning is even more significant.

Why do you want to summon him back, I haven't seen enough of the drama.

Fan Zhongyan was very disappointed, you must know that since the New Deal, Zhao Zhen's jade seal has almost become Fan Zhongyan's seal, why did Zhao Zhen refuse?

Zheng Lang thought this idea was good and wanted to help, but something happened, and Zheng Lang pulled it back.

Di Qing impeached Chen Zhifang and Guo Fuzhi, both of whom had some energy, and they actually got the news quickly, and they also handed over a piece of music to Beijing in the south. On the other hand, when Di Qing was suppressing bandits, he killed more ordinary people to ask for credit. They are from Wenchen, and they are better written than Di Qing's recitals, and they cite dozens of examples, and there are witnesses and physical evidence.

Ouyang Xiu impeached Di Qing for being a martial artist after seeing this twist and turn, although he had made many meritorious contributions, he couldn't help but have an overkill, and he should let Wenchen be restrained.

Zheng Lang sneered in his heart, let Wenchen be temperate, how to control the law?

Is a caged tiger still a tiger? If Di Qing had not gone to Guiyang, this rebellion would have been slowly grinding with Yang Jin, and it took six years to resolve the bandits with the method of seeking perfection with grievances.

But Chen Guo and the two also have their own problems.

At the end of February, the bandits were swiftly suppressed, and the bandits were mostly scattered in various places, and the southern barbarians and the Central Plains people did not understand the language, so it was inevitable that some innocent people, or ordinary people who were involved with the bandits but did not deserve to die, would be involved. There weren't many victims, just a few dozen people. Let Chen Zhifang and Guo Fuzhi find out all of them, but don't forget, at this time, the civil world in the south is the world of this group of literati, and Di Qing has soldiers in his hands, but he is not very clear about the local people.

So he said: "Your Majesty, don't mention the rights and wrongs of the south, I hope Your Majesty will recall Di Qing as soon as possible, so as not to split the civil and military." ”

Originally, I wanted Di Qing to cooperate with Du Qi to quickly wipe out the Tang Kingdom, but now I have retracted my mind. Southern officialdom will be darker, and God knows what this group of literati will do when they unite together? And this time, the goal was reached. Di Qing won a great victory quickly, and many young generals were trained to understand what the climate and environment would be in the south.

Let's let Du Qimo chirp. Otherwise, if things continue to make trouble, I will inevitably get involved. Make Gyeyang the second Shuiluo City.

Ouyang Xiu's progress made Zheng Lang a little cold.

Di Qing withdrew, no longer verbose, but the Shuiluo City incident became more and more noisy. The two immortals fought with a group of powerful junior brothers, and all the scattered immortals avoided it. However, Li Jing entered a advice, and recently heard that the Khitan built two cities in the northwest, connected to Daijun in the south, and Yuanhao in the west. It is vast for hundreds of miles, and the border households and Fengzhou and Linzhou are relocated to live there, so that the road to return to the Han Dynasty is broken, and the oath of the first dynasty is violated to support the thief, and its evil intentions are not shallow. In addition, the year before last, the country repaired the northern edge of the river, so the city was full of cities and Yin cities, and after the alliance, he was looking for a resignation. Please go down to Hedong to appease the division and ask the reason. Or because of the Khitan envoy of the He Qianjie, he was obliged to swear an oath to strike the two cities. to break the trouble.

Zheng Lang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, all the ministers, and listen to the ministers. The background of this incident is that the Western Xia is very poor, the people are not happy, their population is thin, so they plunder more people, increase their strength, but the country has not eased its vitality, and the life of these captives is even more miserable. Therefore, the people of the three states of Fenglin Mansion obtained before the degree turned from the Khitan. Trying to escape back to their homeland. ”…,

Zhao Zhen's forehead.

The Western Xia set up many checkpoints on the border to prevent the people from escaping to the Song Dynasty, but they did not dare to set up more checkpoints on the Khitan border, for fear that the Khitan would have misunderstandings. If the people of Sanzhou wanted to flee back, they could only turn from the Khitan to the Song realm. In this way, the background of the matter becomes simpler.

"That's why the Khitan set up a city. If it is not to deal with our dynasty, if this is the case, it is better to run Hebei and join forces with Yuan Hao, one east and one west, wouldn't it be more powerful? ”

"Yes, Zheng Qing."

"This move is to deal with Yuan Hao, there are two cities on the border of Western Xia, so you can transport grain and grass materials for logistics. After all, Yuan Hao's territory is bitter, and it is impossible to support the source of war by plundering. What Li Jing said is a good word, but there is no need to lie, on the contrary, this time the Khitan established a city, and the hostility towards the Western Xia has been clear, but it is conducive to the negotiation between our dynasty and the Western Xia. Therefore, the Western Xia sent another envoy, and he was already on the way to Beijing. However, the original covenant had already said that the two countries could no longer build cities on the border, let alone take in each other's people. An envoy should be sent to the lord of Liao, so that he could explain the reason for the construction of the city clearly, and return the people to our dynasty one by one. It doesn't matter if the problem of building a city, especially these people, they are all the people of my dynasty, they were taken captive by Yuan Hao, these years are worse than death, they are not far away, break through the barriers, escape to the Khitan territory, how difficult it is, we must find ways to design to make them return to their homeland, return to their homeland. In this way, let the ministers write this letter of state. If he doesn't agree, the minister can use this reason to refuse to go to Khitan. ”

Zhao Zhen laughed and said, "Accurate." ”

Zheng Lang came forward, first, to pity these people, they are victims of the war. The second is to let the monarch and ministers not rebel by mistake, thinking that the Khitan wants to join forces with the Western Xia, then there will be mistakes at the negotiation table.

This is a big deal, but under the influence of the flood city incident, it has become insignificant.

Zhao Zhen couldn't bear it anymore, and asked the bigwigs in the political hall: "Since ancient times, there have been many villains as friends, is there also a gentleman's party?" ”

It's not bad, admit that Fan Zhongyan is a gentleman.

Zheng Lang sighed and was silent. Jia Chang rolled his eyes, also studied Zheng Lang, lowered his head, and as for what activities he had in his heart, his face did not show it. Zhang Dexiang, Yan Shu and Du Yan did not speak.

Fan Zhongyan replied stubbornly: "When the ministers are on the side, they see that the warmongers are the party, and the cowards are also the party, and they are in the imperial court, and the same is true of the evil and righteous parties. ”

Fan Zhongyan was helpless, at this time, the gentleman had become a henchman, and it was not okay if he didn't admit it.

But as soon as the sentence came out, several Zaizhi had heavy faces one by one, staring at Fan Zhongyan with suspicious eyes.

The establishment of the Song Dynasty was based on the Fifty Kingdoms, and the establishment of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms was precisely due to the collapse of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, all kinds of precautions in the Song Dynasty were aimed at the Tang Dynasty. The feudal towns were divided, so the military was deposed, and the eunuchs were dictatorship, so the number of eunuchs was reduced, the rights of eunuchs were reduced, and there was a dispute between friends!

Therefore, in the past, as long as Lu Yijian mentioned the friends party, Fan Zhongyan and others belittled again and again, it was precisely because they were afraid that they would continue to have a partisan dispute and harm the country.

Now the gentlemen are suspected of being friends, but they cannot openly admit it, let alone publicly defend it.

Lao Fan was a little stupid at this time, even the friends had to be endured by the emperor, and the emperor had to acquiesce, so what else could you group of people not do?

Zheng Lang was also sighing in his heart, Lao Fan, Hugh wants to say that Zhao Zhen is the emperor, if you play like this, I am the emperor, and I will not be unhappy in my heart. The most bitter thing is that although you are said to be tactful, when the matter spreads, what will the group of angry little brothers under your command think?

If you can still do all kinds of justifications before, and now you are openly defending your friends, then it has really become Shunchang's rebellion, no, it is really going against the sky!

At this time, Zheng Lang was also a little unhappy in his heart.

He was already ready to pounce on Ouyang Xiu. (To be continued)
