Chapter 494: Bao Zheng's Appearance (Part II)

Zhao Zhen hesitated: "No...... Must. ”

In the face of the impeachment of many ministers, Fan Zhongyan wanted to take into account the overall situation, saying, His Majesty sent an envoy to the Western Xia, the Manchu Dynasty gentry, no one asked for help, the imperial court summoned Zhang Zimeng as an envoy, and Wang Zhenglun was the deputy, and they all dared to act without fear...... That is, Yuan Hao's book played, quite smooth in the front, willing to go to the minister, and can reduce the number of sections, and the desert is poor, into the unpredictable place, that is, can forget life, and do not disgrace life, the court uses two capital, can not be treated to the usual tune, Rong Di is greedy, Li Wei is not tired, the soldiers are disturbed, this Rong Di is normal, not Zi Shuang's fault.

It was Fan Zhongyan who "took into account the overall situation" and made some concessions.

The focus is on the New Deal, as long as the country does a good job, it thinks that anything can be solved. At this time, it is better not to start a war, otherwise all his efforts will be wasted.

Therefore, he once again returned to his true colors and begged for peace.

At this time, Fan Zhongyan is not the prime minister, he actually takes on the duties of the prime minister, and he doesn't understand it, but after it, he may understand Lu Yijian's various hardships.

This is a kind of statement, and there are many more behind it, Zhang Zishuang came back and made some small reports of Bao Zheng in front of Zhao Zhen. In addition, Bian Wang Gongchen also took care of Bao Zheng, so this "Bao Heizi" has not yet attacked.

Zheng Lang said lightly: "If you listen to it, it will be clear, and if you listen to it, it will be dark." The peace talks between the two countries are related to the general situation of the country, and Bao Zheng is the deputy envoy, so why not listen to what he has to say? Your Majesty, do you want to be the queen? ”

He is not like Ouyang Xiu, he never criticizes, praises when he is right, and is also ruthless when he is wrong, but he never talks nonsense.

Zhao Zhen was helpless and said, "Pass on the bag and see you." ”

Bringing Bao Zheng to the capital hall, after he saluted, Zheng Lang said: "Bao Zheng, the reason why I recommended you as an envoy at the beginning was because I had heard some things about you, and when you came to the capital to fill your official position, I made an oath and determined to be a clean official. And you did a good job in Duanzhou, so Dr. Wang recommended you to supervise the imperial history. The two countries negotiate peace, which is a matter of general concern. Cao used his arrogance and arrogance to negotiate with the Khitan, but he still fought for the country. But I am very disappointed that you are here this time. Let me ask you first, and you answer Your Majesty, why did your envoy delay for more than three months? ”

Bao Zheng made Zheng Lang blush, and said, "Your Majesty, your lords, this envoy is to let Your Majesty look at it." The reason why it was delayed for more than three months was that we went to Xiazhou and put Yuan Hao under house arrest for more than two months, and then we sent an envoy to inform us that Yuan Hao was poor in the country and was eager to govern the people, so he couldn't be distracted and delayed us for so long. He changed his attitude and sent a large number of beautiful prostitutes, exquisite food, and hospitality. ”

Zheng Lang interrupted him and said, "Yuan Hao has done a good job, first put you under house arrest to make you afraid." Otherwise, if you give them a warm welcome, you will think that they are afraid of us. This kind of salute will make you overjoyed and make it easier for you to negotiate. Although Yuan Hao's country is small, its strategy is flexible, and compared with our dynasty, it pays nearly 30 million yuan a year in the salary of officials, but its diplomacy is clumsy. ”

insinuated about Yan Shu.

But he didn't say it directly, Yan Shu became the prime minister, and he was indeed the most incompetent prime minister, and he did better than him if he changed the chapter like Du Yan. However, Zhang Dexiang is not good, or Pang Ji, who grew up later, is slightly more competent, and Han Qi is directly lacking. As for Fan Zhongyan, in addition to his broad and intimidating virtues, he is even more not.

Being prime minister is not easy. The peaceful prime minister is easy to do, the rise of Western Xia, the country is full of disasters and difficulties, then the prime minister must have a view of the overall situation, not Fan Zhongyan's self-righteous view of the overall situation, to be able to weigh the severity, count and count, only Lu Yijian!

Although this old white-faced traitor sometimes disgusted Zheng Lang.

quickly turned the topic around, and said: "But it's not a clever strategy, as an envoy, although it is difficult to learn Su Wu, at least you have to learn Fu Bi, Fu Bi sent an envoy to the Khitan, the Khitan is violent, but Fu Bi is reasonable and responsible." Bao Zheng, this envoy was originally the time for you to win glory for the country and make a name for yourself, but you are so cowardly, and the official is very disappointed. ”…,

Bao Zheng's face turned even more purple, and he said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a play." ”

Zhao Zhen said: "There is no need to play, on the matter of the Western Xia peace conference, the princes will discuss."

If you can't fight, let's make peace, and fight again until that -- oh my God.

Zheng Lang suddenly said loudly: "Your Majesty, what is the position of supervising the imperial history, but it is a minister." Bao Zheng was an envoy when he went out of Western Xia, and when he returned to Beijing, he was a minister, supervising the mistakes of hundreds of officials, and negligence in political affairs. ”

Then he said sharply: "Bao Zheng, is this how you clean up officials?" ”

I'll give you guts!

It is impossible to say that Bao Zheng is not struggling, after all, he has only been in the capital for a short time, his eyes are blank, and the situation is messy, which makes him confused, and even many rights and wrongs have not been thought out clearly.

Zheng Lang's angry shout was like an initiation, and his nature attacked, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, Rong Chen plays." ”

These two men roared fiercer than each other.

Zhao Zhen was speechless and said, "You play." ”

"The minister impeached Zhang Zishuang and Wang Zhenglun, and played -- Xixia is a state of Tibet, a vassal state, a small country, to send an envoy to our court, and my court -- the road is kind, and if you want to enter Beijing to see, let them enter Beijing immediately to see. His Majesty placed them under the command of the Privy Councillors. However, the ministers and others sent envoys to Western Xia, but the ministers were detained in Xiazhou, and the kings of Western Xia were not the former Western Xia, but Xingqing Mansion. The minister proposed to Zhang Zishuang many times, Zhang Zishuang pressed the minister with an official position, and ridiculed the minister for being a short man, a village man, and did not understand the rules of the court, so he was humiliated and accepted by the Xiazhou peace proposal, making the enemy twice as light as our dynasty. ”

Zhao Zhen frowned.

Zheng Lang's forehead, that means to say, Bao Zheng, you said well.

Short people, once they grow up, see who dares to say that Bao Zheng is a short generation, and he can't find death. But now Bao Zheng is still a little tender.

Ouyang Xiu muttered on the side: "With this, these two people are enough to demote officials. ”

―Is it out of mode, the second is inappropriate ridicule, born short where is wrong? Everyone wants to have Di Qing's appearance, how is it possible?

Bao Zheng arched his hand and said, "Thank you Ouyang Zhizhi." Your Majesty, the minister impeached the second, and His Majesty said before he said that he would not mention the matter of increasing the annual currency until he had no choice but to do so. But the Xixia people did not persecute it, Zhang Zishuang himself opened his mouth to betray the country for glory, and told the matter of 200,000 years old coins, so that the Xixia was insatiable, and the ministers dragged their clothes many times, and then shouted angrily at the ministers. So the Western Xia sent forbidden soldiers to forcibly pull the ministers down, and the ministers were not allowed to participate in the negotiation banquet. The minister is an envoy, and the Western Xia is actually humiliated, which shows that the Western Xia power does not take the minister to heart. Kechen represents His Majesty, and if he doesn't take the minister to heart, he doesn't take the Great Song Dynasty to heart. And by the mistake of mediocre cowards, these days, ashamed and wanting to die, restless day and night, sorry for Your Majesty - listed as entrusted by the minister, sorry for the conscience of heaven and earth, loyal ministers and righteous ......".

Speaking of this, he fell down again and again, hitting his head on the ground, and there were blood stains on the top of his head.

Zheng Lang went over to help him up and said: "Bao Zheng, you are the deputy envoy, and you are helpless to be pressured by Zhang Zishuang, but when the problem arises, you will reflect the problem and let us deal with it with Your Majesty, without having to blame yourself." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! The minister impeached the third, Yuan Hao sent many prostitutes to bribe Zhang Zishuang, and the minister also persuaded him, but Zhang Zishuang did not listen, and he was full of ugliness in the Xiazhou post house, and he was filthy outside the country, which was a shameful humiliation. ”

"Really?" Zhao Luo finally stood up.

Zheng Lang snorted in his heart, this is a psychological tactic, you can't underestimate Yuan Hao, first put under house arrest for more than two months, let Zhang Zishuang worry and be afraid, and then use beauty and money to reward him, the front is tight and then loose, and the mentality changes abruptly, so it is not easy to control his desires.

But no matter what the reason, this time Zhang Zishuang is dead.

"Every sentence of the minister is true, if there is half a lie, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed. Not only that, but the minister heard that Xixia gave Zhang Zishuang - Wang Zhenglun's golden festival crown - Hu Zhenqi and other valuable gifts, so in Xiazhou - the next son threw out 200,000 yuan, and after returning to Beijing, he played to His Majesty, saying that the Qiang people were newly attached and did not dare to go against their wishes, and said that they would stop using Hu to accept the security officers, and the court did not need to blame, and all the fake officials were punished. Your Majesty treats the minister to the fullest, but the second son betrays the country like this, please Your Majesty punish him heavily, otherwise the envoy will learn from the two in the future, and the interests of the country will be sold. ”…,

This is a serious problem

It's not a big problem to receive gifts, you have to be like Wang Song, give me gifts, and I will accept them, but things are done. Accepting gifts, betraying the country and betraying the country, things are two different things.

Zhao Zhen muttered to himself: "No, Zhang Zishuang is Zhang Qixian's grandson, and his family background is not ......."

Zheng Lang said: "Your Majesty, the dragon gave birth to nine sons, some people are greedy and cannot be satisfied, such as Yuan Hao, Zhang Zishuang is not impossible, Bao Zheng played the same - face words, whether it is true, Kaifeng Mansion will know." If it is true, this time the two envoys are not losing the national body, as Bao Zheng played, it is a traitor to the country, even if he is a scholar, he can be killed. Otherwise, in the future, many people will learn from Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao, betray my Song Dynasty, and betray the country to seek glory. These people were born in my dynasty, grew up in our dynasty, were familiar with the length of our dynasty, the terrain, and flocked to the Western Xia, and our dynasty was really in danger. ”

How could this kind of thing be without Ouyang Xiu, Ouyang Xiu's two big eyes spewed sparks, walked out from the side, fell to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, if it's true, this is really an absurd thing. The consequences are what Zheng Lang said, it is these slaves, treacherous, and filthy ministers, who have made the country lose face, tens of thousands of soldiers shed blood in vain, and although the court is successful, it is weak and out of shape, and it is deceived by the juniors. If you delay and hesitate, the soldiers will be discouraged, and when the situation arises, the soldiers will not fight hard to kill the enemy, and great worries will come. The weaker it is, the more it cannot be reconciled. Today's 200,000, tomorrow's 500,000, the people are bitterly pressed, and the banditry will be in all directions. Internal troubles and external troubles, and soon the country will die. Don't ignore it. ”

God to the level of the destruction of the nation.

But Zheng Lang was happy, when this was the case, to torture, torture the Western Xia people, he said slowly: "Ouyang Xiu, more than 200,000." The imperial court promised 130,000 horses of silk, 50,000 taels of silver, and 30,000 catties of tea, and then transported them to the territory of Western Xia, with a discount of nearly 400,000 yuan. Also, Xu Qi Shi Yi 570,000 stone salt, Sun Fu said to let it make a profit of more than 100,000 yuan, in fact, there is no shortage of salt in our dynasty, including the minister's - open salt strategy, want to 10 million stone salt can also be obtained. ”

"What's the solution?" Zhao She asked.

"Dry salt."

"Salt?"

"It's a way to dry salt, this method is not difficult, but I'm not less salt, and the price of salt will fall! Although a large amount of salt appeared, the salt profit was damaged, and although it was for the benefit of the people, the country was in the autumn of lack of money and silk, and the important ministers did not think about it, so they did not say anything. There is no shortage of salt, don't ...... Fu Zhi said that only the cost of removing salt from the salt pond in Western Xia, the freight, and the income from the sale of the security arms to our dynasty, if the merchant Jia salt was included, the country would be more seriously damaged. That is to say, our dynasty may lose more than 200,000 guan again due to salt. In addition, Xiyan also asked our dynasty to let go of the salt and sell 100,000 stone to the merchants, and once agreed, at least 300,000 yuan of profit from Western Xia and 400,000 yuan of damage to our dynasty. It is said that the Khitan gave 500,000, but it is actually nearly one million. But what about the Western Xia, if it is accurate, it will benefit at least 900,000 guan, and our dynasty will suffer more than one million guan, which is more than the number given to the Khitan! Zhang Zishuang actually said that the Qiang people did not dare to go against his will. Your Majesty, the minister said again and again three months ago that 100,000 is enough, and in the minister's opinion, 100,000 is also more. Where did he come to 200,000, how did he come to Qingyan City, the minister was a governor of political affairs, and he didn't know anything, but now there are 100,000 Shishi salt. The thief was not satisfied, and asked to return to the capital division. Your Majesty, what do you want the Prime Minister to do? How do you ask your servants to contribute to the country? ”

Zhao Zhen was surprised, looked at Zheng Lang, and thought, you don't know the reason, but things are done like this, you can't blame me.

Zheng Lang didn't know, looked at Ouyang Xiu, and said: "Ouyang Xiu, you have said many times that Zai Zhi is incompetent, Guan Jian doesn't know this Zai Zhi, how can Zai Zhi act?" ”

Xiao Yangyang, leave it to your son!
