"Why get involved?" Zheng Lang asked rhetorically. ,!

Cui Xian smiled, and Zhao Zongshi walked out of the front desk, which made her shocked, but then she heard all kinds of things, meditating on the bitterness of Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu, Cui Xian felt very funny. In Di Qing's case, there is no need for her husband to get involved, that is, to give Di Qing Zhongwu and the king of the county posthumously, can Di Qing come back from the coffin?

But what Zheng Lang said below made Cui Xian's heart hang again.

Zheng Lang said: "Hang'er, prepare pen and ink for me." ”

Zheng Hang brought pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Zheng Lang wrote a private letter to Di Liang.

The gist of the letter was still very gentle, and Di Liang took the initiative to write a resignation letter, resigning from the county king and posthumously giving Wu Zhong the nickname, and his words should be sincere. There is also a Chinese book order, and keeping that one will not hinder the Di family much.

Cui Xian looked at the letter and said, "Do it this way." ”

"It's not good, if the Di family is really as the emperor wishes, and receives the title of Wu Zhong and the posthumous gift from the king of the county, then the Di family will never think of a day when they will raise their heads."

Even if Di Qing is dead, he can't think of peace.

"Yes, to be a man, you have to learn to be tolerant and tolerant."

"It's the Di family that is involved, but I want to get involved."

"Officials ......"

"Not for Di Qing, but for the thousands of soldiers who are loyal to the country and fight bloodily at the front." After Zheng Lang finished speaking, he put the letter in a letter bag and sent someone to the capital in advance.

The Di family may not listen to other people's words, but Zheng Lang's words can't be ignored, so Di Liang went to the book of words.

Ouyang Xiujin advised, since the Di family is not accepted, the emperor, you should listen to the words of the scholar. Zhen Wusu, the gift of the book order, is not thin for Di Qing. This province, that county king is gone. Zhao Zhen was even more displeased, and said: "Zhuqing, the imperial court edicts and official positions are often refused, and the imperial court has to issue three edicts, four edicts and five edicts before accepting them." If so. Can the imperial court not appoint the emperor because of the edict of the minister? ”

Ouyang Xiu can't tell it, but this is easy to do, and he came to Di Qing's house in person, it was not Bao Zheng, a family of military generals. The bones of the Lord are dead. What is there to be afraid of? Directly said to Di Liang, you did a good job on the resignation table, but the last table was not good, you have to connect three tables and four tables. Just like the emperor's heir Zhao Zongshi did.

Where did Di Liang dare to offend this big guy, so he went to the second table.

Di Qing's coffin also came to the capital at this time.

However, because the matter of the name is undecided, it cannot be buried. It's not even very easy to be buried, and now the scholars are fighting for the nickname, and then there is the case of giving the king of the county. After succeeding, they will fight for the funeral case. It's early.

Zhao Zhen is kind-hearted, which can cause a living Di Qing to not live in peace, and a dead Di Qing to also not live in peace.

Zheng Lang came to Di Mansion and stayed in front of Di Qing's coffin for a long time.

Di Qing was brought up by Fan Yong, and in the process of ascending to the throne, there are many people who have Fan Zhongyan, Yin Zhu and Pang nationality, but when Zheng Lang met Di Qing, he was only a deputy general, and he played the greatest role in Di Qing's ascension process. When I first met Di Qing, he was just a brave general. It's still a little green. Zheng Lang watched Di Qing grow up step by step, and Di Qing's death was also a big blow to Zheng Lang.

Hearing the news, many ministers rushed to the scene.

One is Zheng Lang's attitude towards Di Qing's name, and the other is a lot of affairs.

This year, Huainan employs less labor than last year. Including Jingdong Road, but the Yellow River began to start in earnest, starting from Sanmenxia and ending at the place where Jishui enters the sea. The people of Jiangdong and Zhejiang were not alarmed this time, but Huainan. The two capitals and the two rivers were all alarmed, and even a small number of laborers were sent from Shaanxi Road.

At its peak, the number of civilians still reached more than 2.4 million.

The project is progressing quickly, but the money is still used like the water of the Yellow River, the court is distracted by Zhao Zongshi, Zheng Lang returned to Beijing, and just came to ask.

Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang, Zhang Sheng, Ouyang Xiu and other important ministers all arrived at the Di family one after another.

Sima Guang and Wang Anshi also came to Di's house.

Zheng Lang didn't say anything, just sat still, some of these ministers were lower than Zheng Lang, and some had ghosts in their hearts, so they didn't dare to worry. In terms of actual qualifications, there is only one person in the court who can be compared at this time, Han Qi. Pang Ji also came, but he could no longer be regarded as the prime minister.

Other people, if they have qualifications or no qualifications, they want political achievements without political achievements, many people are older than Zheng Lang, but in front of Zheng Lang, they are only a late or junior generation.

Zheng Lang finally raised his head and lightly saluted everyone.

In terms of modesty in attitude, no one can match Zheng Lang and Fu Bi.

Then came to Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, and the two honestly admitted their mistakes: "Gong Zheng, we were wrong." ”

Zhao Zongshi's kid is too two hundred and five, and Sima Guang regrets it very much at this time.

"I won't mention whether it's right or wrong, Jiefu, you have a stubborn personality, Junshi has an extreme personality, and you like to go to extremes a little. In terms of talent, qualifications and abilities, there are very few people left in the entire Song Dynasty who can surpass you, but this extreme is exactly what I am worried about. Therefore, I often let you exchange letters, or stay together to discuss government affairs, so that you can neutralize each other. Because of the extreme, they will inevitably attach importance to various means to achieve their goals. There are pros and cons, but it's impossible for you to become a second Van Sheefin. ”

In front of everyone, he publicly commented on the two students.

There is a good side and a bad side. But overall, the good side is better than the bad side. All like Fan Zhongyan, is it possible?

The two bowed their heads respectfully and said, "We deserve it." ”

"There is no need to be ashamed, and it is also true to seek truth from facts. Jiefu, you pay attention to the results, the country and the people, but what you can pay attention to is the appearance. For example, if you see changes in the boundaries of the country and the amount of income, these are all appearances. As important as it is, it also corrupts quickly. Junshi, you pay attention to the system, the framework of the country, and stability, and despise the appearance, the core is not necessarily the appearance, but the appearance is the core of the things that the core focuses on. In fact, whether it is the appearance, or the more important system and stability period, you have all neglected one thing, the same more secret, deeper and more important things. ”

"Please advise," the two said more respectfully.

By this time, it had come to be understood that the teacher was not only for them, but also for the ministers of the court.

"That's the spirit. For example, the spirit of the scholars, as the courtiers of the state, are actually the brain, eyes, nose, ears, hands and feet of the king, and the eyes, nose and ears will give feedback to His Majesty what they hear, smell, and see, and give them to the two governments, and the ministers of the two governments will assist the emperor in making decisions and implement them with their hands and feet. This is the duty and spirit of the doctor. However, many people have a misunderstanding, thinking that being an official is for glory and wealth, and officials have power in their hands and are noble, but how can they get rich? Even if Zaizhi's annual salary is only tens of thousands, but I am a big family with an annual income of hundreds of thousands. Therefore, even if he is a deacon. Still greedy for ink, or use the income of the national interest to fill their own pockets. With this kind of thinking, how to be a good scholar. Xiwen has been gone for several years, but he is still respected by the government and the opposition, and it is this true spirit of scholars in him. ”

The big guys were silent together.

Dare to question the dead Di Qing. dare to question the dead Fan Zhongyan. Moreover, half of the dozens of officials standing there were followers of Fan Zhongyan.

"You don't have both, you want money, more money and more money to be a big man, you want power. You can't ask for money excessively, and feel at ease to do a good job of brains, ears, noses, eyes, hands and feet for Your Majesty and the country. This is only one of them, and the most important spirit is the spirit of the whole country and the whole nation. We are the richest in the world because of our tolerance of businessmen. But in other respects, it is poor, restrained. Infighting, cowardice, conservative...... Taoism pays attention to the rise and fall of one and the other, and the glory must decline. Such as the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, so there is Tianbao bad government, Anshi Rebellion. But this is the Taoist method of accumulation, not the true meaning of Confucianism. Confucianism also says that Kanglong has regrets, and Taiji does not come. But it's not the kind of Taoist kind of negative Kanglong who has regrets, and Taiji is not coming. Wyvern in the sky. Seeing the lord, the master said, corresponding with the same voice, seeking the same breath, and the water is wet. The fire is restless, the clouds are from the dragon, the wind is from the tiger, and the saints are all visible. Those who are from heaven are kissed, and those who are from earth are kissed. then each according to its own kind. ”

"As long as you advise people not to challenge the dignity of heaven and earth, to override the laws of heaven and earth, to ignore the people of the country, to become a tyrant like Emperor Yang and Emperor Qin, to conform to the will of the people, let the clouds dance with the dragon, let the wind rise with the roar of the tiger, let the river flow to the low and humid place, let the fire burn to the dry place, let the pro-heaven rooted in the sky, and take root in the earth. Each in his own place, each in his own service, the people love the officials, the officials are loyal to the monarch, and the monarch is conscientious. Then the world will stay at the level of the flying dragon in the sky, and will not jump above the poor sky, and the dragon will regret it. Or Emperor Yi returns to his sister, and China and Israel make a wish. Hold a fair and neutral heart, with a fair heart to do things, in order to realize their own wishes, then Tai will not become the city of Yu Huang, its fate is also chaotic (the last line of the Thai hexagram, the city wall fell in the moat, the government decree is disordered, so the hexagram evolves into a fierce hexagram negation, which is also the origin of the idiom of Taiji). ”

"Although the country is rich, but only to see the dragon in the field, as long as we are careful as the master said, the word is true, the mediocre is cautious, and the dragon can fly in the sky. As for the rest, don't say that the flying dragon is in the field, it is better to say that the hidden dragon is in the abyss. It is the theorem of all things. If a country lacks the heart of a strong man who is constantly striving for self-improvement, it will not be strong. If this is satisfied, the hidden dragon will not be used, the hidden dragon will be strangled by the abyss, and our dynasty will be chronically strangled by other countries, or due to the differentiation between the rich and the poor, it will rise up and fall apart. This country may be considered enlightened, but is there such a strong heart that is strong and gentleman is self-improving? ”

Ouyang Xiudao: "The master said, the dragon, the virtuous and the middle, the belief of mediocre words, the prudence of mediocre deeds, the sincerity of idleness and evil, the good world without cutting, and the virtue and both." Therefore, a country cannot be dethroned with all its forces. ”

"Uncle Yong, because my dynasty is weak, so I took Shenglong City, and immediately withdrew my troops to return to China, and General Di captured the six states of Western Xia, and then withdrew my troops to return to China. Where did you see the words "Poor Soldiers" and "Soldiers"? If one goes down and the other rises, our dynasty will be weak, and the enemy country will be strong. Therefore, the growth of the dragon must fly out of the abyss, not trapped in the abyss. Regardless of the economy, but only military affairs, can our DPRK reach the point where it can make the neighboring countries good without using soldiers and not invade? ”

Ouyang Xiu couldn't speak.

Zheng Lang and Di Qing advanced and retreated, making the conservative scholar indeed invulnerable.

"Even if you see the dragon in the field, it is still very weak and will be strangled by a strong enemy at any time, only the flying dragon is in the sky, it is a truly rich and strong country. I'm still far from getting there. What is Tianxingjian, a gentleman who strives for self-improvement? The way of heaven is strong and strong, no matter the personal actions of the gentleman, or the country, or the people, he must work hard and never stop, this is the only way to conform to the way of heaven. After Zheng Lang finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to Ouyang Xiu, turned to Sima Guang and Wang Anshi again, and said: "No matter how good the illusion is, without a good system, it will not last long." No matter how good the system is, it is ultimately set by people, and if the formulator does not maintain the heart of a strong man who is constantly striving for self-improvement, the country will not be strong. If the formulator does not maintain a humble heart and be complacent, he will not see his own shortcomings, and the yin and yang will lose their balance, and the country will quickly decline. This is the most important thing for the country. ”

"One of you focuses on the name of the framework system, and the other focuses on the size of the data revenue territory, have you ever considered the spirit?"

"Yes."

The two of them are extremely wise and intelligent, if Zheng Lang hadn't been teaching, they might have been extreme. Zheng Lang has been teaching all these years, and Zheng Lang's thoughts have a somewhat subtle effect on them, and he lowered his head again.

Zheng Lang said another thing: "I am not very opposed to your participation in the crown prince, and the crown prince is also very important to the country." But there is still a small shock in my heart. His Majesty has not been in good health. However, when you set up the case of the crown prince, how will your majesty feel? General Di died of serious illness due to many people's accusations, slanders, and suppression attacks......"

"Xingzhi, Di Qing has been ill for a long time. The court's ministers only asked him to be transferred back to the capital. Ouyang Xiu couldn't help but say again.

"Transferred back to the capital? What did Di Qing suffer in the Privy Council? What did Di Qing say before he died? Zheng Lang shouted.

Di Qing only said two words before he died. The first one to bring a message to the emperor, the emperor is good to me, I just want to use my strength to smear your majesty's liver and brain, but I can't doubt the loyalty of the minister. The second is that the widow cannot set foot on Helan Mountain for His Majesty.

Zheng Lang asked, and all the people in the Di Mansion were sobbing.

Zheng Lang lowered his voice. said: "Junshi, Jiefu, you have selfish intentions about the crown prince. You want to be good for me, after getting along in the past two years, you see that I am more and more indifferent to power, and I am afraid that I will fade out of the court. But Your Majesty trusts me a lot, how can I repay as a minister, only to do something for the country, to make the country richer and stronger. Instead of the hidden dragon suffering in the abyss like now, trapped in the Western Xia Khitan, and even more powerful northern nomads in the future. I have been in charge of the two governments in my thirties, and it is not uncommon for me to experience it. Therefore, I am indifferent to rights, but it does not mean that I have put down state affairs. Whenever possible, I will do my part for this country in order to repay Your Majesty. ”

Because the Di family was sobbing. Zheng Lang's voice was not loud, but someone still heard it in his ears. One by one, they were in awe.

This is the demeanor of a gentleman and the demeanor of a minister.

"Also, you are worried that someone will hinder the river workers, just ask, who would dare to hinder the use of hundreds of millions of dollars?"

Sima Guang and Wang Anshi lowered their heads again.

This is an objective reason, and the subjective reason is that they want to do things, and they want to have power if they want to do things, so they are involved in the dispute with the crown prince. However, in front of so many people, it is inconvenient for Zheng Lang to unveil it. When it actually happened, Zheng Lang was also very angry, and the two wrote several letters to explain, but Zheng Lang did not reply to a letter.

It took several months for Zheng Lang's tone to calm down, and only then did he have today's persuasion.

However, someone looked at Han Qi, Han Qi was also embarrassed, Zheng Lang pointed at Huai and scolded Sang in front of everyone, he didn't like it in his heart, but what should he do? In fact, he faintly threatened Sima Guang with this article at that time. I didn't expect this kid to be too powerful, and he did it properly all of a sudden.

But Zheng Lang was still not very happy in his heart.

The crown prince is decided, which may not be beneficial to the country, but for Zhao Zhen, it is a serious blow. The establishment of the crown prince also proves that Zhao Zhen is useless, a waste man, depressed and depressed, can he live a long life?

However, state affairs are greater than the emperor himself, and Zheng Lang cannot be blamed.

So he scolded Sang Di and ridiculed Han Qi. The first pointed out Han Qi, do you dare to make a fuss about river work? Second, don't think that you are the prime minister, you have annoyed me, everyone is dead again, I don't care about rights, do you care?

If Zheng Lang really fights Han Qi, he can fight Han Qi down, not only Han Qi, but even Ouyang Xiu and others.

Han Qi was very embarrassed and didn't want Zheng Lang to continue like this, so he couldn't hear Zheng Lang's words, changed the topic, and asked: "Xingzhi, Han Chen died, and the nickname has been disputed for a long time, what should I do with Xingzhi?" ”

"The king of the county has passed, can the prince of the kingdom?"

"But," Han Qi replied briskly. Wang Deyong got the title of Duke of the country when he was alive, and Di Qing died. A county king, a country prince, the difference between the middle is a world of difference.

But there is more, looking at Zheng Lang with his eyes.

Zheng Lang stroked the Nanmu coffin with his hand, and said slowly: "Your Majesty treats the ministers preferentially, and he saves money for himself, but he rewards the ministers excessively. also in exchange for two loyal ministers. Zhigui, if you talk about the purity of the heart, there are only three people in the world, one is Fan Xiwen, and the other is Di Qing. ”

"Di Qing went into battle to kill the enemy......"

"Yes, he kills like a murderer, but he kills enemies and robbers, but is his loyalty to the country and His Majesty as pure as snow?"

Han Qi was speechless.

Di Qing's last words were not a family matter, but said that he couldn't step on Helan Mountain for the emperor! Can it be said that he is disloyal to the emperor?

Zheng Lang said again: "There was no ice in Beijing last year, and there is no ice in winter this year, not to mention snowfall." remembers that there was no snow in the capital in the two years before and after Fan Xiwen's death. Maybe it's because these two crystal-clear snows are gone, and even God can't bear to fall and freeze. ”

Don't you like to draw up to the heavens?

Zheng Lang simply led to the celestial phenomenon, the warm winter of the two years brought great convenience to the river workers, making the winter break shorter and prolonging the construction time, but the weather was very abnormal, after the Kaifeng City in the north entered the winter, it was not even able to freeze. (The wide range of weather I mentioned in the book is all real historical weather, recorded in the annals of history)

But...... Everyone looked at each other, wanting to distinguish but not daring to distinguish, Di Qing's coffin was placed here, and they couldn't fight for it to be buried. I am afraid that Zheng Lang will speak too much from Di Qing's position, then under the stubbornness of the emperor, it will become a big joke.

So everyone was lonely and speechless again.

"As for Wu Zhong's name, it's not too much, since you forcibly oppose it, Bude is righteous as Mu, and he is Mu in his middle feelings, Di Qing has been loyal to His Majesty all his life, Bude is righteous, and he is a man of temperament, so let's Wu Mu. There is also a matter of accompanying the funeral, and there is no need to argue, and the burial of the first emperor's mausoleum is not in accordance with the ceremony. Let him be buried in his homeland. Also, Mrs. Di, please choose General Di's clothes for me. ”

"Okay."

Di Qing's wife Liu went in and took Di Qing's set of clothes and crowns, handed it to Zheng Lang, Zheng Lang carefully put it away, and then took out a large piece of paper from his arms, with sixteen big characters written on it: towering Kunlun, a good general through the ages, loyal to the country, unparalleled in the world.

The sixteen-character evaluation is far better than that Wu Zhong.

Zheng Lang came to the coffin, fumbled, took out the tongue of fire, lit it, and said: "Han Chen, if Your Majesty asks the minister about the affairs in the future, who will the minister ask for strategy?" When you go, the Great Wall of the country will undoubtedly fall in half. ”

Once again, everyone was speechless.

Don't think that Di Qing is not important, if the country is at war, it is really difficult to do without Di Qing.

Zheng Lang has a golden finger, and the specific strategy depends on General Xu to plan for him, otherwise he can only become Zhuge Liang's Longzhong pair, tired to death in Wuzhang Plain, and hate it for eternity.

Seeing the tongue of fire beating, Zheng Lang saw the scene of himself getting along with Di Qing in front of his eyes, and suddenly tears rained down and cried loudly......
