Chapter 481: Standing in Line (Part II)
Zheng Lang is not evil to the rebels, but there is a reason why he wants to fight and does not want to make peace, even if he wants to make peace, it is like staging a soap opera.
It's the court!
Maybe these gentlemen have good intentions and good intentions, and they want the country to be richer and stronger, but their methods are too harsh. Cai Xiang admonished that the ruling minister was not allowed to meet with guests privately unless he was fake. For example, Zheng Lang met with Fan Zhongyan that time, Xiwen, it's not good, there are some problems with the exemption law. These can't be said in the court, it will make people worry and make people take advantage of it. But then, like that meeting, it is not allowed. Unless the two of them are on duty in the same department at the same time, avoid the small officials and talk quietly. If you are not in the same department, you will not have a chance to speak.
Or Zheng Lang investigated the shortcomings of the forbidden army in the capital, and wanted to meet some guests, and it was not convenient to meet in Zhongshu Province, so he had to meet at home, but after this decree was issued, he did not have this right.
In fact, the prime minister sometimes meets with the wise men of the Quartet in private, for example, Pei Du Kai, for the sake of Yuan and the use of troops, he meets some people of insight, consults the current policy, and makes a reference when making his own decisions, and fills in the omissions. There are benefits and disadvantages, but the overall benefits far outweigh the disadvantages. Otherwise, the prime minister can only rely on official documents from all over the country, work behind closed doors, and handle state affairs out of thin air, instead of listening to the real remarks of the Quartet with his own ears.
Zhao Zhen hesitated.
Cai Xiang wrote repeatedly, and Zhao Zhen didn't think of the consequences for a while, so he issued an edict.
is mainly aimed at Lu Yijian, who is afraid that Lu Yijian will retire at home due to illness, and use his influence to interfere with the new deal. The consequence was that Lu Yijian did not affect it, but affected himself, and it was this edict that made the gentlemen's party not meet in private to discuss, and their opinions could not be unified, and then they shot themselves in the foot.
It also brought great trouble to Zheng Lang, and Tian, Zheng Lang persuaded Lu Yijian to cooperate, and Lu Yijian also agreed, but after this edict was issued. Although LΓΌ Yijian retired, the ministers did not retire, or they received some inconsequential ministers, and they could not cooperate.
Gentlemen don't care. had to put shackles on Lu Yijian and restrain him to death.
It was Ouyang Xiu's turn to appear again, Ren Zhongshi consciously withdrew from the court, Lu Yijian's rights were deprived step by step, Jia Changchao was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, Yan Shu was also Fubi's old father-in-law, Du Yan and Zhang Dexiang have never been evil with gentlemen. Zheng Lang's attitude is ambiguous, and he doesn't seem to be very evil...... But he didn't draw his sword and looked around, there were too many people waiting for him to deal with. Over the years, Lu Yijian has installed countless ministers into the court, and these people must not let go, one by one, they want to give the entire Great Song Dynasty a bath, and wash the Song Dynasty into a gentleman.
Come one by one, staring at one person first. Li Shu.
Under his attack, Zhao Zhen had no choice but to let Wu Yu, a student of Hanlin, know Kaifeng Mansion. Li Shu is a student of Hanlin, and he doesn't deal with Gyeonggi government affairs, so it's okay for Yu Zhen to draft some edicts.
Ouyang Xiu said again, Shupeng attached Yi Jian, in the number of three corpses and five ghosts, the court is clear today, why use this person. If you use the person of the article as a bachelor, one or two people are enough. If there are no scribes, the emperor can personally write the edict in the vernacular, which can also show the beauty of the ancient style. Since ancient times, there have been people who have no practice. Ming masters don't need it, such as Xu Xuan and Hu Dan. Shuju Kaifeng, only a house, now in the imperial court, is for the harm of the world. Your Majesty, you want to make righteous people feel at ease. Let's belittle this person.
Zhao Zhen was helpless, and issued an edict to let Li Shu know about Jizhou, but I don't know why, I didn't do it.
Ouyang Xiu said again, I heard that His Majesty had removed Li Shu from Jianzhou, and everyone was encouraged and congratulated on Shengde, because Li Shu had been in and out of the imperial court for twenty or thirty years, treacherous and evil, and harmed a lot of people. Once you see that the master is going to the left and right, you can't help but dance and thunder. However, the Chinese book avoids itself and does not implement it, which is disappointing. When the ministers asked the two governments to do their work, they issued a special decree to remove one foreign county, so that the whole world would know that this treacherous and evil person was removed by His Majesty, so as to demonstrate the virtue of the Holy Ming. β¦,
Not only is it treacherous and insidious, but even the filthy words have come out. It must be known that this filthy word is generally ashamed of scholars and doctors, and it is no less than the names of some genitals that have been brought out in the spoken language of later generations.
Li Shu let Ouyang Xiusan bombard him miserably, and he didn't even dare to speak out loud.
Zheng Lang turned to the capital, Ouyang Xiu wrote again, and after the defeat of the army thief Wang Lun, he repeatedly wrote the book, afraid that there would be more and more thieves, so he asked the court to take precautions. It's not just the ministers who speak alone, there are many people who say before and after, but the court doesn't implement it. And the minister didn't plan, and sure enough, thieves have been rampant recently. The looting and burning of Zhanghai and Guo Miao Mountain in western Beijing have not been leveled, and there are several barbarian thieves in Guiyang, and there are hundreds of barbarian thieves in Kui, Xia, Jing, and Hu. More than 10 thieves were not obtained in Jiezhou and spring, more than 30 robbers were burned and robbed in Huazhou to suppress Shami, and 30 or 40 thieves were robbed in Xuzhou. Jingdong has not rained since autumn this year, and so far wheat seeds can not be planted, and Jianghuai has been followed by famine locusts since the thieves. Shaanxi is suffering from drought and road exile, day and night. It seems that in the future thieves will arise, and those who see are not destroyed, and those who continue will be more numerous. Today, the elephant is the number of the world's soldiers, the soldiers are below, and the celestial phenomena are above. But the court didn't think of it.
That's only half true.
With the implementation of various measures, there are still rebels or robbers, after all, the ability of the officials in various states and counties is large and small, and some have not done a good job, and the people are in a hurry, and they are still doing evil. However, the number of thieves is declining, and the states of western Beijing are gradually subsiding. As for the barbarians in Kui Jing and other places plotting rebellion, even when it is peaceful, they will also be chaotic from time to time, and it has little to do with the current situation.
But the drought is really severe.
Then he said, the law of the two Han Dynasty, all thieves rise together, the people go into exile, and astronomical disasters are blamed, or punished, or deposed, in order to thank the world. Your Majesty is merciful, and the minister avoids heavy responsibility, but it is precisely the refusal to threaten the minister, so that the officials are negligent and weak. If you don't plan early, you may regret it. There are only four things for the robbers, one is to prepare the state and county for the army, and the other is to select the official to catch the thief. The third is to clarify the law of rewards and punishments, and the fourth is to remove redundant officials, use good officials, and compensate the tired people, so that they do not want to be thieves.
As for Zhang Hai's matter, he killed officials and robbed warehouses, plotted rebellion, and although he had led the people to surrender, the state had a big system, and the first evil person would be severely punished.
The others let it go, but some of the leaders couldn't let it go, they had to be killed. This is Ouyang Xiu's thoughts.
Zhang Dexiang thinks that it can't be punished, after all, what Zheng Lang promised, although there are some bad things, there is a decree in advance for Zheng Lang to act cheaply, and afterwards he asked the court for instructions, and he is also doing things in accordance with the rules. Besides, if the fight continues, it would be better if all of them were captured, but if they could not be captured, these more than 3,000 people scattered and fled, and even if the main force was annihilated. A small group will continue to harm the Quartet. Every battle also costs a lot of money, the consumption of weapons, the compensation of the dead and wounded soldiers, and the rewards of the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions. I can not fight. Fushing is also a good idea.
Zhao Zhen thinks it is reasonable.
Jia Changchao, who was suddenly silent, also spoke: "Your Majesty, the world is based on governance and benevolence, although Zhang Hai has done many evils and is confined to the military camp, Zheng Lang went out on behalf of the Son of Heaven, not only to exterminate the bandits. It is also the way of the emperor of the emperor, and the minister thinks that he has done it properly. β
That's a lot of good intentions!!
Therefore, Zheng Lang was worried that Ouyang Xiu was practicing the art of the Legalist during this time, and the officials would be punished, and the anti-thieves would be punished. It's just him, it's not a big problem. But at this critical time, I can't say anything.
Ouyang Xiu connected the second recital, and the first recital said that the country is withering today. The public and private difficulties are all caused by the excessive number of officials. It is advisable for the imperial court to select and correct the old, sick, corrupt, and unscrupulous people according to the inspectors, and eliminate them. Go redundant. Then the common people's rate is very reduced by nine, since the ministers see the rise of the army, the public and private troubles, not only the burden of burden, all caused by the officials for the treachery, the annual rate of one thing, the corrupt officials before the people carved off, the old and wrong people arbitrarily for the masses to beg. The court gets one point, the traitors get ten times, and the people are in great distress. That's the harm. β¦,
Ouyang Xiu said this well, although the solution he said was empty talk, in fact, this is also an unsolvable problem, no matter the high salary of the Song Dynasty or the cool punishment of the Ming Dynasty, it cannot be solved. But bring it up. Let's think of ways to reduce the degree of harm it will be.
Second, the harm of unscrupulous people is deeper than that of corrupt officials, and most of the corrupt officials are strong people, and they are taken from the rich, or not as poor as the weak. Those who are not good can not be controlled, although they do not take it, their subordinates can be punished together, and there is no rich or poor, all of whom suffer from it.
Who said that corrupt officials do not extort the poor people, on the contrary, the more corrupt the officials, the more they will extort the poor people.
The three internal and external integration, although the court has a good order, but in the hands of these four-color redundant officials, it did not become the original intention of the court, but harmed the people.
Fourth, go to redundant officials, then the officials are simple, and the orders are unimpeded, and today there is a fixed number of officials, and there is no fixed number of people who enter the office. Every time a position is vacant, everyone competes, and those who get it have no shame, and those who can't complain. Now choose the four-color redundant officials to go, and the people who wait for the Que have nothing to complain about.
Fifth, redundant officials, the people of Sinoma can be feared. The officials of the world, how can they all be unqualified? It is because the court is not dethroned, there is no distinction between good and evil, if the country is responsible for the truth, everyone is different, then the people of Sinoma will be reluctant, dare not follow, although there is greed, but also have to hold back.
Sixth, go to redundant officials, but after a month, the people will receive their gifts. The minister has seen the county in other states, every false official goes, and a capable person replaces him, but for a few days the people have sung a ballad, if all the redundant officials are removed, and the competent officials are replaced, and the people will be given if they do not exceed the expiration date.
This letter seems to be very good, and it points to the disadvantages of the times.
But it was this letter that made Zheng Lang's balance collapse again.
How to screen the four-color officials without mentioning it, Ouyang Xiu thought that the imperial court would rotate all the gentlemen party from top to bottom, and he made a mistake of principle.
The mistake made in this letter is not small, how do the ministers of the other side think about it. Second, the main drawback of redundant officials is not only the poor political affairs, but the redundant expenses generated, which waste the state finances and bring heavy pressure to the people. The third official is bad, it is not produced by redundant officials, it is not so easy to solve it, even if it is done as Ouyang Xiu thinks, it is impossible to make the whole country effective in a few months. I made a mistake that I was ashamed of.
The main reason is not these three mistakes, but the same as Fan Zhongyan's Qingli New Deal, he dared to speak out, and the country changed the law to implement, but he didn't have the courage to say the ultimate means, sanctions!
Sanction!!!
The original text of this memorabilia is very long, but it is not said.
I didn't have the courage to say that I would deal with it with the law, and the law would deal with the small officials who had no background, the common people!
Or to use a simple analogy, come to exterminate Zhang Hai, first, did not send scouts to investigate Zhang Hai's situation, second, did not lead a strong enough army, only brought a thousand stragglers to suppress the bandits, what will be the end?
Not only Ouyang Xiu's, but the entire Qingli New Deal has similar mistakes, provoking the burden of the country, even if you sneeze on it, it will form a storm for many people below, but you have the courage to do such a big heart transplant, but you don't dare to dig out the necrotic heart, open your chest, and then stand where to look. Zhao Zhen asked, Zhuqing, how is it? Right away, Your Majesty. I asked again, my body has been handed over to you, let you dig it, why is there no movement. Right now, Your Majesty, wait another minute. After a while, Zhao Zhen asked again, it seemed that dozens of minutes had passed, why had there been no movement. said impatiently, in the end, are you a doctor, or I am a doctor, lie down obediently, and listen to our command and transfer.
But after a few hours, they were still deliberating. I didn't even say the words of removing the necrotic heart, how did Zhao Zhen think, I opened a big hole for you, I'm afraid, I won't do transplant surgery, I have to replace people, and sew my chest back to ask for a peace.
The second part of the recital is Zheng Lang's, giving some face, saying that Zhang Hai subverted the country, killed officials, robbed warehouses, gathered bandits to make trouble, and could not tolerate and raise traitors, otherwise the gangsters in the world will be outstanding and the harm will be greater.
played in the front, and Yu Jing went up in the back, saying something similar.
Jia Changchao distinguished, Ouyang Xiu immediately pointed the finger at Jia Changchao and wrote an impeachment essay, which frightened Jia Changchao into not daring to make a sound.
Zhao Zhen was helpless and sent someone to ask Zheng Lang.
Zheng Lang sighed, this was expected by him, killing Zhang Hai, he was dishonest in the world, it doesn't matter if the problem is serious, and he is not alone in the dishonesty of officials and the people. Moreover, the rule of the state has not yet reached that point, even if it leads to the stubborn resistance of the rebels, sooner or later it will be extinguished. To contain Zhang Hai, it will take a lot of money, as long as he is detained in the forbidden soldiers, these people are scattered one by one, and the arrangements are appropriate, there will be no big leaks. That is as serious as Ouyang Xiu said.
The dispute has reached this point, there is no other, one is Han Qi, and the other is the party dispute.
If you don't stand in line, people on both sides are uncomfortable. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
