Zheng Lang continued to talk eloquently, saying: "From the beginning of the Song Dynasty to today, I have been conservative, and the disadvantages are good and bad, and if there is no change, within a hundred years, the country will be in danger." Not to mention the rebellion of the Sixteen Kingdoms, the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the disaster of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, but also the Han and Tang Dynasties. The Han and Tang dynasties have been established for more than 300 years, nearly 300 years, but what are the real generations? More than 100 years in the Western Han Dynasty, more than 100 years in the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the Tang Dynasty was not abolished, in fact, the country has declined since the Anshi period. Our dynasty has been established for more than dozens of years? ”

This is even more of a crisis.

"But once it changes, there will inevitably be many disputes. Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty punished the forces of the vassal kings, so he cut the feudal domains, and the rebellion of the seven kings. Emperor Wu punished the Xiongnu for their compulsion, wantonly raised troops, and the people were struggling to make a living. Only Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty is the best, all kinds of changes have been implemented, and there is not much controversy, so he is governed. However, since the rise of Zhulu in the Han Dynasty, all relatives are noble. Han Xuan did not take precautions, forming Wang Mang's trouble. Guangwu benevolence, forgiveness of the people, but do not make changes, so the descendants are trapped in relatives and eunuchs, local powerful and wanton annexation, the eunuchs in the court and the central government are in power, and the country is declining.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty was trapped by the gate valve and blocked by the ministers, so there was a rebellion between Wang Dun and Huan Wen, which was directly replaced by Liu Yu. And then to the Tang Dynasty, how can Yao and Song be, the monarchs are probably far from it, but from the Tang Dynasty to the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the government soldiers were corrupted, Juntian was destroyed, and Yao Song was afraid of disputes, so he adjusted carefully, and there was a prosperous era of Kaiyuan. Originally, this was the best turning point for the Tang Dynasty, but it was a pity that Tang Xuanzong was mediocre in his later years and entrusted political affairs to Li Linfu, so he misled the country and harmed the people.

The two ancestors of our dynasty, Taizu and Taizong, carried out a system of decentralization, restrained the power of relatives and eunuchs, and divided the power of ministers to prevent the emergence of ministers. Including the people, there are also many decentralization and constraints, so as to prevent mediocre kings from delaying state affairs. But there is an advantage and a disadvantage, Wen Tian is martial, the government is redundant, the officials are redundant, the officials are redundant, the army is redundant, although several generations of people are working hard, but the country is also declining.

Your Majesty is working hard. The reform is new, but in the world of Zhongxing, Kaiyuan is one, and Kaiyuan has been adjusted for decades. None of the country's biggest evils have been eliminated, only there are few disputes, and the country is peaceful. Or Han Xuan, Han Xuan grew up in the folk when he was a child, and knew the people's suffering, but the reason why he was successful was not only Han Xuan. There are also Huo Guang's decades of careful management, one minister and one king, almost forty or fifty years, to create the prosperous era of Han Xuan. But ladies and gentlemen, at the beginning of your new policy, you would talk about a few months at every turn, and soon, in a year or two, you would be able to rule the country. Could it be that you are immortals who can sprinkle beans into soldiers, and can turn soil into gold? ”

Many neutral ministers, as well as Jia Chang, bowed their heads and snickered at them.

"The so-called governance. It is to govern the people, the country is strong, the officials are clear, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, the treasury is full, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and they are full of food and clothing, which is the interests of hundreds of millions of people, and if you want to govern the country, you must take into account the interests of these billions of people. One person is like a net, and billions of trillions of nets are twisted together, how chaotic it is. However, you are frivolous in reform, believing that you can bring prosperity to the country by doing it casually. It's that easy. How many people were outstanding in ancient times, why did Zhongxing only have Wenjing, Han Xuan and Kaiyuan? Ouyang Xiu. The partisan theory you have written can be known in a leaf. Without proof, you will choose to use it as an argument to prove your claim, and you have been stubborn. The trouble of friends was rampant for a while, and they did not dare to openly flaunt the banner of party strife. I don't know how dare you come. ”

Zhang Fangping said: "Your Majesty, loyalty is good for deeds, what Zheng Lang said, you must not think about it." ”

He didn't have a good impression of Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu and other gentlemen at all, he originally belonged to the moderate faction, plus he worked with Zheng Lang many times on Jingyuan Road, and he was even more influenced by Zheng Lang, but at this time, the gentleman's party was too rampant, and he ruined people at every turn.

In the past few years, he has written many times, including in Jingzhou, but since the New Deal, the gentleman has suppressed the enemy, Zheng Lang is a small matter, he is avoiding things, he does not dare to say anything more, and almost disappears. …,

In fact, as soon as Ouyang Xiu's discussion of the party was published, the hearts of the gentleman's party were also scattered.

Like Zheng Lang, many ministers are in favor of gentlemen and friends, but they dare not add a party word to the end.

Zheng Lang secretly signaled, Zhang Fangping, you hurry up and step back.

He also has a lot of prestige at this time, but due to age constraints, he has to fall behind Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi, and he disappeared, which also made most people fall under Fan Zhongyan or Han Qi. Once Zheng Lang takes the initiative to stand up, many people will echo him.

But Zheng Lang didn't want to, Zhao Zhen said personally, you have a few more years.

Before the time came, a new force was formed under his subordinates, what did Zhao Zhen think?

Zheng Lang also said: "The minister said three things again, one is to prepare grain, disasters continue year after year, the people take food as the sky, the country should attach importance to grain reserves, since the beginning of this year, except for the drought in Jianghuai, other places have been in good weather. Although Jiangzhun is dry, there are many water systems, and the drought is only in the mountainous areas. If there are no accidents, there will be a good harvest year after autumn. However, the country must not be unprepared for the future. ”

In fact, this has a faint meaning of explaining the rest of the matter.

This time, to refute Ouyang Xiu's partisan theory in the court, it is called a court dispute, and most of them have to be degraded from the phase.

And it turned out that these were his responsibilities with the head of the three divisions.

He also said slowly: "The national warehouse was originally divided into two warehouses, one was the state and county warehouse, which was mainly set up for storing the grain levied by the two taxes. One is the national warehouse, which is mainly concentrated in the vicinity of Gyeonggi. The warehouse method is scattered in Hedong, Hebei, and Sanmen. The ministers and the three divisions were implemented one by one, but they were subject to financial constraints and were not all completed. It is important to build all these new warehouses so that there will be no banditry and chaos in the country, as was the case last year. In addition, the prefectures and counties also appropriately reserve part of the surplus grain of the two taxes, so that the prefectures and counties can have food to help emergencies in the event of a disaster. Although it is not a state treasury, it can also act in accordance with some provisions of the new warehouse law, so as not to make the warehouse grain greedy for ink. The second is the surplus wealth, the treasury has been empty all these years, so that the Shaanxi War came, and the empty treasury entered the war, so it could only be thick and heavy to strip the people. People have no long-term concerns, they must have near-term worries, and the ambition of the wolf son of Xixia will never make peace with us for a long time. If the fighting breaks out again, the whole country will be in the same situation as last year. The third is to prepare troops, not to increase soldiers, the regular soldiers of Western Xia are less than 100,000, and the soldiers in peacetime are all idle peasant soldiers, so a small country can concentrate dozens of troops to fight. The Khitan claimed to have an army of 300,000 and a half million, and the regular soldiers were only a few hundred thousand. Therefore, the elite soldiers are streamlined, and although the soldiers are reduced, they are only the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and without the drag of these weak soldiers, they should train and strengthen the army to prepare for war. ”

looked at Ouyang Xiu again, gave him the steps, and said, "Ouyang Xiu, I also know that you are kind-hearted, you want to sweep away the evil spirits, and also rule a clear mind." But if the person is right, the minister is right, and if the person is dark, the minister is evil. Even if there is the treacherous evil you mentioned, in order to ascend to the throne and see the emperor working hard, you must try to come up with some good governance for the Lord to see, so that it can be used by Your Majesty. So where did the evil come from? It's not treachery, it's inaction, it's incompetence, it's greed. You've reversed your priorities. If there is no treachery, why should you gentlemen form a party? Governing the country, every move affects how many people's hearts, and you can't do whatever you want. You can't even think about it without thinking about it. The master said that I have three provinces and my body, and I am like this for individuals, and the country? You are also a member of the literary world, and now that you are in charge of the Imperial Court, Your Majesty has made an exception to let you participate in the new policy, and you have a heavy responsibility, so you must be cautious and think twice before acting. ”

After saying that, return to the train.

It was given to Ouyang Xiu, but his voice outside his words had faintly pointed to the new deal.

You're not reforming, you're fooling around.

Huo Guang and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty are two generations of masters, and it took many years to govern the country well. Yao Yuanchong, Song Jing, Zhang Jiazhen, Zhang Shuo, Li Yuanhong, Du Luo, Han Xiu, Zhang Jiuling, these people are not famous historical rulers, and after many years, they came out of the prosperous era of Kaiyuan. It was not a good time in the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and there were still peasant uprisings at the beginning of the Kaiyuan Dynasty because they couldn't get by, and it was at the beginning of Tianbao that there was the heyday of the feudal era. …,

They are all civil servants, and they are very familiar with this big history.

Taking history as a guide, are you fooling around?

If you want the country to be good, you have to change, but it's not your kind of reform method, you have to find another way.

Of course, he can't convince Fan Zhongyan, and he can't convince Ouyang Xiu, at least for now, but how many people are there in Zhao Zhenchao? Just stand here and count them, there are at least a hundred people who can be of great use, and ten people who can be reused.

Zheng Lang's words have caused many people to reflect on and have also reserved hope for reform.

Not only thinking, but also something, looking at Zhao Zhen together. Zheng Lang violated the court's etiquette and had to be degraded.

Yu Jing was very unhappy and wanted to say, but suddenly thought of something and forced himself to hold the words in his mouth.

Zheng Lang can't be degraded, he is not Jia Changchao, although he is very low-key this year, but the three giants of the Junzi Party do not believe in asking any reasonable people. In fact, Zheng Lang is still in the limelight above Fan Zhongyan in the folk court, even if he is not as good as Fan Zhongyan in the court, he can compete with Han Qi.

This depreciation, many people will question, why depreciate, it can't be said that Ouyang Xiu is more competent than Zheng Lang, then there will be great doubts about the gentleman, and the new policy will collapse immediately.

Ineffable.

But Zhao Zhen made a very strange behavior, did not blame Ouyang Xiu, nor did he say anything to belittle Zheng Lang, and said, "Scatter the dynasty." ”

If it makes a fuss like this, it will disperse?

Jia Changchao was extremely disappointed, what a rare opportunity.

But dare not say.

Yi Zheng Lang was not his real enemy, and when he was in Zhongshu, he was not close to him, but he did not see that he was hostile.

The second middle school book really needs Zheng Lang, others don't know, he knows, he doesn't seem to speak, but he actually does a lot of things. As soon as Zheng Lang leaves, he will take over Zheng Lang's mess by himself? It's not asking for trouble.

The Three Emperors are not faint masters, and they also know that even if they get it, what can they do? Most of them didn't come back in three or two months, but they just went down to travel, and they came forward to say that they were a wicked person, and even forced Zheng Lang to the opposite side.

Not only did he have this idea, but so did Wang Gongchen.

I was already very satisfied, and I left one by one with joy.

When he came to Zhongshu, Fan Zhongyan said with a little dissatisfaction: "Xingzhi, what blow will you have to the new deal today?" ”

"Brother Xiwen, your morality will always be my role model. But what else is there to take off your morality and your heart for the world? Zheng Lang replied. actually openly defended his friends, Zheng Lang was even more disappointed in this group of gentlemen. If he didn't know Zhao Zhen's thoughts, he wouldn't have used Zhao Zhen to take action, and he would have taken the lead in overthrowing the new deal for the future.
