I originally wanted to change more on May Day, but I always felt that my feelings were too unrestrained and not very suitable, so I had to precipitate my feelings, and I could only change 10,000 words a day.

Whether a person can get seriously ill or not depends on two main aspects, one is his own conditioning and the other is his mood. Self-conditioning, Zheng Lang has used a living example to prove that small balls cannot be eaten, at least small balls containing gold and stone ingredients cannot be eaten.

This incident dealt a big blow to Taoism, but it had nothing to do with Zheng Lang, if Zhao Zhen could live for one more ten or eight years, it would be to offend all the old people, and he would be willing. The second repeatedly said that the combination of movement and static, he really didn't have any eyes and ears in the palace, but there was one of the best eyes and ears, Zhao Niannu, who exchanged letters with Zhao Zhen, and it was impossible to expect Zhao Zhen to do radio gymnastics or run, play tai chi, but occasionally take a walk. Sometimes the review is a little late, and I also eat supper, which is still very stingy, and I drink a bowl of soup casually, and I am reluctant to eat even mutton, let alone any delicacies from the mountains and seas. But it's better than the hard life before.

There are pros and cons in the mood, all the ministers want to support the emperor's heir, Zhao Zhen is in a low mood, but the completion of the Yellow River, this is a grand event in feudal history, not to mention the Great Wall, Afang Palace and the Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty, although the project is large, it is built regardless of the life and death of the people, and the two phases cannot be compared at all. Zhao Niannu took his son into the palace, and after a year of his own education, a more sensible grandson entering the palace will make Zhao Zhen happier.

About the emperor will live a few more years.

Therefore, he gradually stopped looking to the East, and even began to prepare for the recruitment of students.

It is unlikely that the summoning of the Jinshi will summon the sons, how many lifters did the Song Dynasty have? That's hundreds of thousands!

Elderly, middle-aged, juvenile.

And the number of places is so small, a few gentlemen, Ercheng and others will not be in Han Qi's eyes, but there is still some influence in the Shilin world, and even the major book clubs in the capital can buy the books they wrote, and there is also a Zheng Lang, who only recruits dozens of scholars, once selected, maybe it is also the second good way out of the imperial examination.

Countless lifters came from all directions, but they were very disappointed, a few gentlemen checked, selected one by one, not only to see their conversation, but also to answer their test questions, there are many comes, fewer winners, and the ratio of losers is no less than the provincial test.

It can't be said that Mr. Five is deliberately embarrassed, first of all, there are really not many places, and secondly, Zheng Lang said that it is to study together, and it is even possible to let these people join in the writing of Confucianism, not to mention that the qualifications are poor, that is, the qualifications are good, and those who are not proficient in the scriptures and meanings will also brush it down immediately.

Sometimes Zheng Lang also came to take a look occasionally.

In the end, the person who can be selected, it can be said that every student can go to various schools to serve as Mr. At least in addition to the poems and songs and the prose, in terms of understanding the meaning of the scriptures, even many Jinshi are not as good as the students who were selected.

But Zheng Lang was wrong.

The main reason for Zhao Zhen's illness is that the serious illness in Jiayou's early years weakened his body, and then he worked hard to make children, and there were frequent bed events, how much harm would it bring to a person? Not to mention Zhao Zhen's poor winning body. Small balls and a reasonable diet play a role in it, and if you try to make the diet reasonable from a teenager, the effect will be even greater, and it will be too late at this time.

The mood is even more 13 to look at the Internet.

That is to say, the mood is actually not very beneficial to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Niannu heard some words unintentionally, and said to Zhao Zhen, the minister's betrayal made him very disappointed.

There are two things in my heart, the first thing is the Western Xia, the actual Khitan has declined greatly since the hands of Yelu Hongji, but in the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty, it is still extremely powerful, and the sixteen states of Youyun are things that even Song Taizong can't accomplish, not to mention the descendants. For the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, Zhao Zhen just had a luxury, and what he really wanted was to recover the lost territory of Western Xia. At least restore the territory to the time of Taizong of the Song Dynasty.

But because of the river work, it will take a long time to realize.

His body can't wait.

What can wait is Huang Er, the country's finances have deteriorated, but he doesn't know, he only sees the country's peace and security, if the Yellow River is properly governed, the internal governance has reached its peak. The Yellow River was completed, and firecrackers were set off in the north and south of the Yellow River for several days.

At that moment, Zhao She suddenly had a thought in his heart that he could let go.

This is very detrimental to Zhao Zhen's physical muscles, although it is very mysterious, but it does exist...... "At the beginning of the month, Zhao Zhen was seriously ill.

The emperor was seriously ill, the ministers were uneasy, they asked each other, Zhao Zhen passed the decree, and the prime ministers were taken to the emperor's bedroom, the west pavilion of the Funing Palace, which is the most noble living room in the world, because the ministers of the two provinces have changed, and many ministers have never come in.

When the curtains were lifted, the ministers were stunned, from the curtains to the bedding, the dull color was worn and old, the fabrics were coarse, and it seemed that many of them had not been replaced. To put it mildly, even the bedrooms of fourth-class families may not be so shabby.

Zhao Zhen had already woken up, looked at several prime ministers, and said: "I live in the palace, and I am so flattering." Even so, it is also the anointing blood of the people, how can it be wasted? ”

I don't know what he meant by that.

Do you mean that you are usually extravagant, and compared with me, you are ashamed? Or is it that I, an emperor, am so frugal and simple, can I be considered a qualified emperor?

Seeing that the emperor was still alive, but no one could answer Zhao Zhen's question, and they left the Funing Hall one by one guiltily. Among the important ministers, there are still people who are qualified to answer, one and a half, Fan Zhongyan one, and Zheng Lang is half.

After the dangerous period passed, Zhao Zhen issued an edict and ordered Zheng Lang to go to Beijing.

Unexpectedly, Han Qi's six edicts won the love, Zheng Lang did not accept it, the academy was the stage of calling, Zhao Zhen issued an edict, Zheng Lang immediately packed his luggage and rushed to Baijing.

Zheng Mansion in the capital first, this time, Zheng Lang almost more than four years, did not enter this house, slightly new changes, built a Taoist temple in the north, Zheng Lang knew, but did not have much mood about it. Then he entered the inner palace.

Zhao Zhen woke up from a coma, has not recovered, and has been lying on the hospital bed.

Zheng Lang Shili.

Zhao Zhen said: "Zheng Qing, it's so difficult to see you. ”

"Your Majesty", what else can Zheng Lang say? In order to cure malaria, Guizhou has discussed with the doctors for a long time, and I don't understand the specifics, but I still know a little about some rough things I know. Looking at Zhao Zhen's face, his face was gloomy, and he was even more worried about Zhong Zhong in his heart.

"Actually, you can't be blamed for what happened back then, and being demoted for many years can be regarded as a punishment."

"Yes."

"When will you return to the court?"

"The minister doesn't know, and Siniang is seriously ill, and the minister is worried that he won't be able to return to the court for a while." The fact is that he doesn't want to be a minister under Zhao Zongshi at all. Of course, there is no need to say it.

"Family affairs are important, but state affairs are even more important."

"Your Majesty, the country has been quiet recently, even the Yellow River will be safe for a long time, and the ministers of the DPRK and China are all famous in the epicenter, many ministers can do it, and young ministers can also do it." Zheng Lang had no choice but to say against his will. It is true that the epicenter of fame is true, but the real ability and morality of officials, Zheng Lang deliberately did not mention it.

"I heard you're practicing Confucianism?"

"It's not trivial to prepare for the repair, and it's not trivial to still brew this matter. Your Majesty is too far away in the history of China for thousands of years, not to mention, the Spring and Autumn Period for hegemony, the Warring States for power, the people are not living, with the power of our dynasty, the population is prosperous, and more than 300,000 troops feel the oppression of the country, but the Qin State only used 600,000 troops to attack Chu. Not to mention that in the Battle of Changping, Qin and Zhao held each other for three years, allowing Bai Qikeng to kill more than 400,000 Zhao soldiers. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded.

Ancient historical books rarely record people's livelihood, but they can be compared, the crop yield is far less than that of the Song Dynasty, how many households were in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there is a lack of historical records, but I think it is at most compared with the last years of Tang Taizong, that is, 30 million millions of people. If the scale of the war reaches hundreds of thousands, and for a few more years, no matter whether it wins or loses, how much pressure it will bring to the people, there is no need to think about it.

Zheng Lang said again: "Then since the unification of Qin, and then the people rose up, Han and Chu fought for hegemony, and when the Han Dynasty was established, it was only a hundred years of peace, Wang Mang was chaotic, and the people were uneasy again. It is said that the Eastern Han Dynasty is a Han dynasty, and the actual Ba Jing is equivalent to invisibly changing a dynasty. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms competed for power, the Sixteen Kingdoms, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it took more than 300 years to reach the unification of the Sui Dynasty, but unfortunately there was Emperor Yan of the Sui Dynasty. A Sui and Tang Romance, the population was reduced by two-thirds. ”

This is said lightly, but it is different in Zhao Zhen's heart, and he can't help sighing.

"The Tang Dynasty does not seem to have been divided, it lasted for nearly 300 years, but in fact there was none, since the Anshi Rebellion, the country began to have a hard time. After another five dynasties and ten kingdoms, it was not until our dynasty that the people took a breath. Why, one is the system, and the other is the ideology. A good man, plus a few virtuous ministers, the country can be ruled for decades, once the people are not good, or there is no virtuous support, the country will quickly fall. If you encounter a tyrant and a traitor, the country will be like Qin Sui, and he will immediately be ran. This is more harmful to the people than the collapse. ”

Collapse refers to the sudden destruction of a country, and the collapse is gradually to extinction, and the final dismemberment of the country by the princes or powers. Zheng Lang said that the collapse is not enough to disintegrate, but it is actually about the same. If you want to solve it quickly, it is better to let it collapse than to let it collapse, but the people can enter a new era after going through labor pains.

But no matter how important it is, neither of them is what a feudal dynasty wants to see, Zheng Lang said: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the minister, in fact, there is no need to read the Chinese history books, you can summarize it with only eight words. ”

The eight characters are full of pride in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but from Zheng Lang's mouth, they are full of all kinds of blood, helplessness, sighs, disappointment, and unwillingness.

"I want to give it a try and see if I can find another way out."

"It's hard."

"The minister knows that it is difficult, if you do it, maybe there is hope, if you don't do it, China, including the Zhao clan, is still struggling in this circle of death. It's too late to do it now, but when it's time for the officials to be corrupted, it's too late to do anything more. For example, in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, there are also some people who want to do something, but what is the final result? ”

Zhao Zhen was silent

"Your Majesty, you want to be safe, this country still needs Your Majesty. The courtiers can only play an auxiliary role, and the master is the real leader. ”

"My body is ......," Zhao Zhen's eyes flashed gray. changed the topic and said, "Zheng Qing, let's make a song for me." ”

"If Your Majesty is willing, the minister is willing to enter the palace every day to play the piano for Your Majesty."

"That's not good."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, the minister can't enter the official career during the Ding worry, as for Confucianism, the minister is still reflecting. It is also the honor of the minister to have nothing to do and play the piano for His Majesty. ”

As he spoke, Zheng Lang asked the eunuch to take the piano out and play the piano for Zhao Zhen.

After a song, Zhao Zhen said: "It's not as elegant as when you were young." ”

When he was a teenager, Zheng Lang's piano skills may not be better than now, but he has no mind to play the piano well.

Zhao Zhen said again: "But I heard it very warmly. ”

"That's good." Zheng Lang stayed, and entered the palace every day to stroke a piano song for Zhao Zhen, and occasionally talked.

No one thinks that Zheng Lang is patting on the back, if he wants to shoot on the back, he will also shoot Zhao Zongshi, what is the use of filming an emperor who is about to die. It can only be said that these two monarchs and ministers are friendly, although Zheng Lang is in Ding Wei, Ding Wei is definitely not as important as the emperor. For a while, the entire people of the capital were sighing.

Zheng Lang returned home, and Zhao Niannu arrived with Li Gui.

Zhao Niannu was wearing a Taoist robe, although he was slim and finally changed from a lady's skirt to a Taoist robe, at first glance, it was a little nondescript, but Zheng Lang couldn't laugh at this time. Zhao Niannu asked, "Zheng Lang, how is my father's condition?" ”

"Your Highness, I don't know."

"You can even be cured of malaria."

Zheng Lang didn't know how to answer, that kind of pseudoartemisinin played some role, but it didn't work completely, otherwise Zheng Lang wouldn't have been looking forward to the cinchona tree. The nature of the two is different. Zhao Zhen's condition is also very complicated, his body is brown and wind-dizzy, and it is still a very serious wind-dizziness disease, which leads to a decline in intelligence, and it is also one of the reasons why Zhao Zhen is not as good as middle-aged in his later years. And Zhao Zhen is afraid that he has other illnesses in his body, even in the future life, Zhao Zhen may not be able to fully recover now, and he will live for a year.

Seeing Zheng Lang's expression, Zhao Niannu suddenly threw herself into Zheng Lang's arms and cried loudly.

Zheng Lang said: "Slave, don't be afraid, take good care of Your Majesty these days, and the ministers will stay in the capital, and enter the palace every day to play the piano for Your Majesty, talk, and comfort him, maybe Your Majesty's illness can be recovered." If you think about it, how serious was His Majesty's condition eight years ago, isn't it also better? ”

was comforting Zhao Niannu, the porter suddenly came in and was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

Zhao Niannu immediately left Zheng Lang's arms, still wiping his tears with a handkerchief. The porter was relieved, thinking that the princess was sad, and his father-in-law was the number one loyal minister of the Song Dynasty, so he made a gaffe, and said, "Gong Zheng, your three students want to see you." ”

"Let them in."

Sima Guang, Lu Gongzhu, and Yan Rong brought in.

Seeing Zhao Niannu here, he looked at each other, but Sima Guang, who knew the inside story, frowned.

Zheng Lang sat them down and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"The situation is ......," Sima Guang said as he looked at Zhao Niannu vigilantly.

"Don't think too much, it's just that there is a problem that will eventually be solved......", Zheng Lang also said vaguely.

He turned his head to look at Yan Rong and said, "I borrowed a huge debt for the sake of the river workers. Therefore, I wrote to the bank to repay it with its profits, and in any case, not to allow anyone to misappropriate the profits of the bank until the huge debt has been repaid. Once misappropriated, it may lead to the finger pointing the finger at the river workers. ”

"Zheng Gong, I know", Yan Rong said in a muffled voice.

In fact, Zheng Lang wrote a bag for Yan Rong, which was very detailed and even more shocking, at this time, he just gave another instruction.

A few people talked casually, and Zheng Lang replied vaguely to Sima Guang, he had already given instructions, wait and see, don't be in a hurry! The three students and Zhao Niannu left ...... "The Yellow River started in the moon, but the flood was not large, and it barely had any impact on the new embankment, so it rushed into the East China Sea with sediment.

In a river control, almost all the people have learned some truths about river control. The most severe sediment precipitation is from autumn to spring, when the water is gentler and the more sedimentation occurs. However, this sedimentation is different from the nature of the river silt field, although the river silt field has precipitated some river sand, more silt. Deposited in a large river, the silt is diluted and washed away, but what is left is extremely saline river sand, which is harmful and not beneficial.

Therefore, the peak of the water flushing is still in the flood season, and the larger the flood water, the greater the sediment flushing effect.

Seeing that the unruly Yellow River was really restrained, the people on both sides of the river even resounded with eulogy.

The good news is not only here, but also in the north.

The Song Dynasty still couldn't figure out the object, believing that the Khitan was the number one enemy of the Song Dynasty.

A major event happened in Khitan, two years ago, Yelu Chongwu and his son Nilugu and Xiao Hudun were ready to rebel, Nilugu asked Hudun to send quickly, saying that his father was not sick, and when Yelu Hongji arrived, he planned to make trouble. But at that time, there was also an important minister Yelu Renxian in the court of Liao, this person was loyal to the Khitan, prestigious, and the father and son were jealous.

Yelu Hongji was ready to agree, and Yelu Yixun, the privy envoy of the Northern Court, admonished and said, Renxian, the former minister of the first emperor, must not leave the court for a while.

In fact, Yelu Hongji was also jealous of Yelu Chong's father and son, and realized that Yelu Ren was the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan, and he was named the king and continued to stay in the capital.

The father and son did not dare to make a plan, and began to disguise themselves as good grandsons.

Two years later, Yelu Hongji gradually relented...... "Let Yelu Chongwu see another chance." Yelu Hongji hunted in Taizi Mountain on the Luan River, and most of his servants were heavy henchmen. A group of people were preparing to rebel, but they happened to be secretly heard by Yeluliang, the envoy of Yongmu Palace. It's not very easy to tell the informant, he hasn't rebelled yet, and he is worried that Yelu Hongji is close to his father and son, and if the emperor doesn't believe it, his head will fall off. Therefore, it can only be whispered to the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager of Liao, Xiao Tzuli, said that she was ill, recalled Yelu Hongji, and told him about it.

Yelu Hongji summoned Yelu Liang and asked, "Do you want to divide my flesh and blood?" ”

Yeluliang said: "If the minister speaks in vain, he will be willing to lock the axe." Your Majesty is not prepared in advance, for fear of falling into the thief's scheme. Or there is another way, summon Lu Gu to come, if the minister is vain, if the thief does not come, it can prove that what the minister said is true. ”

Yelu Hongji believed that it was seven or eight points, and called Yeluren first, and Yeluren said first: "This Cao is the root of the murder, and the minister has been suspicious for a long time. ”

Yeluhongji sent Yeluren to investigate the matter secretly, and when Yeluren left first, he said: "Your Majesty should also take precautions in advance." ”

Hongji sent a messenger to summon Nilugu, and when Nilugu saw that the messenger was coming, he knew that the matter was leaked, and ordered his subordinates to detain the messenger under the tent and prepare to inflict harm. Fortunately, the Khitans eat meat and blood, and they carry knives for cutting meat. I don't know what method he used, but he actually got the knife in his hand, cut the rope that bound his hands back, escaped from the big tent, stole a horse and fled back to the palace as fast as possible, so as to report the tiller.

Yelu Hongji was completely convinced, but by this time, he had not yet taken precautions.

Seeing the messenger fleeing, Nilugu was forced to be helpless, and quickly sent someone to summon Xiao Hudun, and began to gather his henchmen and forcibly kill Yelu Hongji. The biggest scene in the Eight Divisions of the Dragon is about to begin.
