Chapter 584: The Most Lacking

"Your Majesty, Zhang Kang is a talent, but because of his talent, he is a little arrogant, he originally wanted to keep the morale of the soldiers high, but he didn't think about the consequences. Therefore, he had conflicts with Xu Huaide in Yanzhou, and later went to Daizhou and Weizhou to overstep the system. It's good to put it in Bozhou, let him grind his arrogance and let him reflect. Zheng Lang replied.

"But Bozhou ......"

Zheng Lang was speechless in his heart, thinking to himself You also know that Zhang Kang in Bozhou can't go, why did you agree to the arrangement of the Chinese book? But since Zhao Zhen mentioned this issue today, Zheng Lang said by the way, "Your Majesty, what kind of talent is most lacking in our dynasty?" ”

"What kind of talent is it?"

"Your Majesty, you are not a genius of governance, although there are many officials in our dynasty who are greedy for ink or incompetent, but not all of them are like this in that dynasty? Among them, the capable ministers are far better than his dynasty. Therefore, the minister believes that it is not a lack of capable ministers, but the most lacking is the talent of the general. If there are soldiers in the hands of military generals, like the Tang Dynasty, there is wealth, food and government, it is inevitable that there will be unforeseen hearts. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, there was the Anshi Rebellion, which was caused by the Hu people, but later the envoys of the various feudal towns were mostly Han Chinese. ”

"In this statement."

"That's true, but once the military power is divided into three, and the logistics don't know how many they are, it's already an overkill measure. Your Majesty, please think again. ”

Zhao Zhen didn't make a sound, he didn't understand military affairs, even if Zheng Lang persuaded him, he might not listen. Zheng Lang may not intend to persuade Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen only trusts him, and he is also very fond of him, the two have no relationship, Zheng Lang doesn't like that, but there is a little inexplicable friendship, I heard that I rushed back from the Khitan, Zhao Zhen greeted Xuande at the door in a panic, which is something that has never happened to other ministers. But Zhao Zhen is a monarch after all, not his own minion, and he speaks by himself. It is eastern, and it is said that the west is western. At least with Zhao Zhen's weak character, most of his own advice was listened to, which was good. That's why. is for the next sentence: "Your Majesty, in this atmosphere, I am not serious about Wu Yue." Tang Taizong regarded himself as Emperor Wen, but he clearly wrote in Emperor Fan that he wanted to be martial. Our dynasty has already gone to a right-leaning path, not martial arts, but ugly martial arts. There is a proverb among the people. Good iron does not nail, and good men are not soldiers. Not only soldiers, but also generals are becoming more and more inferior, and there is a lack of famous generals. In the past, the four famous generals in the northwest, Chong Shiheng had been in the bitter cold land for a long time, and died of illness, Wang Xin was old and injured. is often ill, only Di Qing and Zhang Kang are slightly normal, but the two often charge into battle. In particular, Zhang Kang is a Jinshi and the first, a literati, which is even more rare, and he has also suffered many injuries from swords and arrows. The imperial court just doesn't think about its merits, and for the sake of the few famous generals in the country who can be of great use, it should also be treated preferentially. Your Majesty, please think again. Otherwise, my dynasty will become more and more weak, not to mention the recovery of Western Xia, the sixteen states of Youyun, weak to the end, and unable to protect themselves. ”

Let's not talk about personal protection. but for the country.

"Let me think about it."

"Your Majesty doesn't have to think about it, let him know Bozhou for the time being, after all, he went to the Jurchen and rescued the ministers, the more he is suspected of being a melon field and a plum, the more he must respect himself. So this time it's time to grind. After a while, move somewhere else. ”

"That's fine. I also asked you, I heard Zeng Gongliang say that your student was testing what kind of artillery in the ordnance. ”

"A very powerful weapon, not a stone cannon, but a fire cannon, which uses gunpowder to make projectiles." Zheng Lang said, asked for pen and paper, drew graphics, and explained the principle.

"You say it has a range of a thousand paces?"

"It's just the heaviest artillery, and if it's a little more advanced, the thrust can fire shells more than a dozen miles away. But if you want to succeed, it is very far away, and it may take more than ten years to make progress. "Helpless, he knows some of the rough principles, related to the details, he also doesn't understand, not only the process, if it is professional, with the strength of a country, now some technology in the Song Dynasty, smart guns can't be made, but stupid guns can definitely be made. But he didn't know much about this. I have to teach Shi Heng theoretical knowledge first, and then through Shi Heng's mouth, this knowledge will be taught in Taixue, drive some people to master advanced scientific knowledge, and then digest this knowledge into practice, there will be more people to work together, so that research and development can make some progress. More than ten years is probably still early. …,

He also said: "Moreover, this is also the minister's conjecture, whether this is the case, not necessarily, this needs more people to think and discuss." ”

Zhao Zhen didn't understand this at all, and said: "Yes, I have also read your book, it is plausible, and I am puzzled." ”

"Your Majesty doesn't need to understand that Your Majesty's duty is to take a good lead and set an example for the people of the world. The second is to lead the people, and if you want to lead the people, as long as you put all talents in suitable positions. Then Your Majesty is a Ming Jun. ”

"Zheng Qing, who do you say has higher military talent, Zhang Kang or Di Qing?"

"In terms of military talent, Di Qing is the first among the four major generals, and the other three are Buddhas, but even Zhang Kang, as long as he is properly appointed, he is also a rare famous general."

"How are Guo Kui and Zhao Xun?"

"Guo Kui is slightly inferior now, his growth is in the future, Zhao Xun is even more secondary, but he is also a rare talent."

"How is Chen Zhizhong?"

Speaking of generals in the front, it is a normal topic to cause, but Chen Zhizhong was suddenly asked later, and Zheng Lang was stunned. After settling down, Zheng Lang woke up to the fact that Wang Anshi was only a small county in history, and no one paid attention to it, even if the grain price came down, some people paid attention to it, and only transferred it to Shuzhou to make a general judgment. But now it's different, because it's his own student, Xia Zhu used Wang Anshi to attack himself, he didn't expect that stealing chickens would not lead to a handful of rice, Zhao Zhen let himself be shaken by a word, the reason why he promoted you as a prime minister is not to be virtuous, but precisely talent, and his talent is not as good as a small county, which makes people have to reflect.

Not only Xia Zhu, but also Zhao Zhen of Zhongshu also had dissatisfaction.

Answering the question, Zheng Lang said: "Your Majesty, Chen Zhizhong never makes friends, and there is no doubt about his morality. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded, it was exactly what he valued Chen Zhizhong the most, not like Fan Zhongyan, there were too many people shouting behind him, he couldn't tell the reason, and he was reasonable, he felt that the world was big, Fan Zhongyan was the third, Han Qi was the fourth, Lao Tzu was the fifth, and the emperor was the sixth.

"The government is also quite good, with deep qualifications, but it lacks flexibility. For the sake of the prime minister, for the lack of the prime minister. ”

"Where's Xia Zhu?"

"Just talking about wisdom, Xia Zhu is above Chen Zhizhong, but since the third year of Qingli's gentleman's attack. Xia Zhu's mood changed, he became gloomy, and he acted a little unscrupulously, as the prime minister, he was suspected of poor morality. And the vision, mind, and plan are all far below Shen Gong. "Compared with Lu Yijian, Xia Zhu is not at the same level at all. It's a fair evaluation, and it's not because it's an enemy of yourself. Take the opportunity to attack and frame. He also said slowly: "In the two governments, those who are suitable for the prime minister, first Pang Yuan, then Wen Yanbo, and several others are not suitable to be prime ministers. ”

"What about you?"

"The minister hasn't thought about it yet." Zheng Lang cast a Tai Chi and replied vaguely.

But when Zhang Kang arrived in the capital, Zheng Lang ignored the suspicion. still called Zhang Kang to his home and explained. These people all have a general problem, not much energy. I'm afraid he won't be able to think about it.

"Thank you, General Zhang," Cui Xian said.

"Don't dare," Zhang Kang's heart was slightly determined, this woman has a very high status in Zheng Lang's heart, she can thank herself, Zheng Lang can tell herself fairly. It's very uneven, grandma's, how much credit have we made? This is no longer a war, so he treated me as a hunting dog and started cooking?

"Brother Gongji. Sit. (In the past, this Zhang Kang was regarded as another Zhang Kang, and the font size was made into Ji Ming, and he hereby corrected and apologized)

Jiang Xing'er made tea enthusiastically, without this person, her husband might not be able to come back, that is her husband's life-saving benefactor.

"Brother Gongji. Please use tea. ”

"Thank you, Zheng Xianggong."

Taking a sip of tea, Zheng Lang said: "The Western Han Dynasty has sealed the princes, and also sealed the seven kings with different surnames, Zhang Er, the king of Zhao, Zhang Ao ascended the throne after his illness and death, and was demoted to Xuanping Hou for his crimes. Zang Yu, the king of Yan, rebelled and was personally punished by Han Gaozu. Lu Xuan, the king of Houyan, was also forced by the situation to rebel and died in the Xiongnu. Han Xingong, the king of Chu, was the greatest, and was first demoted to the quasi-yin, and then executed by Empress Lu. Peng Yue, the king of Liang, was demoted and executed by Empress LΓΌ. Huainan Wang Yingbu rebelled, was ill by Han Gaozu, and was killed by his brother-in-law Wu Chen. Han Wangxin was forced to surrender to the Xiongnu, and later fought for the Xiongnu and was killed by the Han army. Only the timid Wu Rui died well, and the Changsha Kingdom died after five generations. Why, under the couch, do you not allow others to rest? Why are Li Jing, Cao Wei, Wang Deyong and others making great contributions, but they are more cautious? Not only did I say this to you, but I also said similar things to Di Qing and Zhang Fangping. ”…,

If you talk about the lineage, Di Qing can only be regarded as half, and half has nothing to do with Han Qi, but Fan Zhongyan is from Pang. Zhang Fangping and Zhang Kang are their real descendants.

"Zheng Xianggong, I am only honest and upright, so as not to dissatisfy the soldiers. Do you want me to learn from Sun Lao Pifu? ”

Sun Wei's political achievements are still okay when he is on the side, but he is greedy for money and lustful, which is despised by Zhang Kang, but this person is by no means a gentleman.

Zheng Lang said: "Bao Zheng has an enmity with me, and a grudge against you? ”

"Nope."

"Then why didn't he say Sun Wei, but you? He also left a face, just asked the court, and did not impeach you. ”

Zhang Kang was speechless.

"You are a great general, and you are a good donor, and not only the people are happy to use it for you, but even more so the soldiers. The army is strict, and there are traces of wind everywhere, and there are even images of the people. There is food, money, and soldiers and people on Jingyuan Road, what are you doing desperately to gather their morale? ”

"Zheng Xianggong, do I have such thoughts?"

"You don't, it's not what you think, it's what others think. Compared to political achievements, can you compare with me? ”

Zhang Kang shook his head, in terms of political achievements, there are not many people in the entire Song Dynasty who can surpass Zheng Lang, there are obviously only two people, one Zhao Pu, who has the merit of supporting the country and founding the country, and the other is Kou Zhun, who has the merit of Lanyuan, so that the Song Dynasty will not be reduced to half of the country. There are several people to compare, but that's just a Buddha, that's it, not much.

"But how do I do it? Never take credit for it, and even take the initiative to push the credit on others. The greater the credit, the more careful you are. I was unscrupulous as a teenager, but I became more and more cautious. Why, Gong Gao Zhen Lord, do you understand? In order to relieve him, Zheng Lang took out his heart.

"I see."

"It's good to understand, the emperor has also talked to me," Zheng Lang simply said the conversation between the monarch and the minister about him, and said: "You are suffering some grievances now, but it will be a good thing in the future." Guan Jian is Chatian, and some gentry are afraid of being dissatisfied with me. You have to deal with these people decently, if provoked, you can do some toleration, if it is excessive, you can punish according to the law, and you can't deal with it severely, so as to prevent others from falling into the trap. ”

"I obey Zheng Xianggong's arrangement."

Repeated care, in fact, is not much, delay in the capital for some time, and then go to Jianzhou, almost to the end of October, another month or two, you can be transferred to Beizhou. There is no need to say this. A god stick on his own, and he doesn't need to make any preparations.

But I didn't expect Zhang Kang to stay in the capital. Immediately run to Jianzhou.

After hearing the news, Zheng Lang was stunned and hurried to the long pavilion to see him off. Zhang Kang looked at Zheng Lang in surprise and asked, "Zheng Xianggong." What are you doing here? ”

"You have an ancient style, how dare I avoid suspicion?"

The person who sent him off was first Mo Ming, and then he understood, and looked at Zhang Kang with envious eyes. Zheng Lang said at this time: "Zhang Jun take care all the way. ”

"Thanks."

The matter reached Zhao Zhen's ears, and he looked at Zheng Lang and smiled in the capital hall, and then said, "Zheng Qing, you don't have to be so suspicious. I know it in my heart. ”

After saying that, he smiled again.

Of course, it is said that if Zheng Lang does not know how to advance and retreat, he will not like it.

In general, it's okay, if Zheng Lang doesn't come forward, Zhang Kang drifts to Hezhou again, and finally drifts everywhere. is even worse than Fan Zhongyan, a generation of famous generals, who made great achievements in Fulin Road. But he was repeatedly ruined by the court's ministers, and his bad mood can be imagined, and he passed away in the end. is even worse than Di Qing, although Di Qing let Ouyang Xiu and others die, he still managed to get a privy envoy to do it.

It was getting cold.

The West Mansion is very calm, and the East Mansion is still a mess. The disasters all over the country were trivial and trivial, so Chen Xia and the two of them quarreled desperately, and Zhao Zhen was in a bad mood, and summoned the prime minister and Zhang Fangping together in the capital hall. The eunuch brought several large charcoal basins. I scooped up the pot again, one for each person, and it looked like a long meeting was going to be held. …,

Everyone sat down in turn, and Zhao Zhen said: "Zhuqing, the arrangements for the victims in various places are not appropriate, what is the best plan?" Tell me what I have seen, and let me refer to it. ”

Xia Zhu and Chen Zhizhong were silent, Zhao Zhen looked at the people in Xifu, but to everyone's surprise, Zhao Zhen suddenly asked Pang Ji: "Pang Qing, what is your good plan?" ”

One by one, they were surprised, why didn't the emperor ask Zheng Lang, but asked Pang Ji.

Zheng Lang lowered his head and smiled, he repeatedly recommended Pang Ji, saying that it was impossible for Zhao Zhen not to doubt it at all, so Zhao Zhen was also observing, and finally determined that Pang Ji and himself were not all the way, so I asked today to see Pang Ji's ability. After all, this country can't just use itself, even Zhao Zhen will have doubts. If Zhu Yuanzhang had been replaced, he would have killed himself a long time ago.

Pang Ji was also surprised, stared at Zhao Zhen puzzled, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is a ...... of Xifu."

"Let you give advice, not let you deal with it, if you have a good plan, just say it, it doesn't hurt."

Pang Ji's eyes flashed, he was not stupid, he faintly felt that this was a great opportunity, and then thought about it, and looked at Chen Zhizhong, Song Zhen, and Xia Zhu, and said: "If there is discord, the country will be chaotic." The country has money, food and policies, so why can't the victims be resettled? It is because of the discord between the ministers of the Eastern Mansion, so the policy sometimes produces differences, the above divisions, and the local divisions are even heavier. If the policy is chaotic, even if there is no disaster impact, the administration of the officials below will be chaotic. ”

There is no need for any policy, as long as two of the three people of Xia, Song and Chen are randomly taken out, the eastern mansion will be unified, there will be no disputes, and the government affairs will be smooth immediately, and the victims below will be properly settled. In a word, the key to the problem.

It also represents his maturity, and when he changed his previous Pang nationality, he would directly say that the three phases were derelict in their duties, regardless of the general situation, which led to the result. But now it is said very implicitly, not saying right or wrong, only talking about the consequences of disagreement. But it's also a bold admonition.

The ball was kicked back to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen glanced at the three phases of Dongfu and asked, "Is there any other good way?" ”

"No," Pang Ji said decisively.

Zhao Zhen looked at Zheng Lang again, Zheng Lang's eyes were staring at the top of the main hall, leisurely, he didn't listen at all, Zhao Zhen was so angry that he wanted to go up and kick him. But what to do with Zheng Lang? He is not an immortal, Pang Ji said that the only solution, the five phases of the East Mansion, the swelling is incomparable, not only that, the five phases are also five hearts, the five hearts are down, three of the five people have deep contradictions, how can such a Dongfu do good things? In fact, don't do much, don't go to the two of them, just let Chen Zhizhong or Xia Zhuzhong drive out of Dongfu alone, and all the troubles will be solved immediately. Guan Jian and these two people, now Zhao Zhen is still reluctant. This reluctance, even if he himself, can't think of any good way. Look at the top of the main hall, what is the meaning of the painting on the caisson, what is the style of that dynasty, what is the meaning of the numbers, you have to see it clearly, in order to grind it well......
