There is a light side, there is a dark side, there is a good side, there is a bad side.)

Compared with Kong Zongdan's heroism, Zhang Zhonghui, the governor of Hengzhou, and Wang Riyong, the prisoner, were very cowardly, and when they learned that Nong Zhigao's army was coming, the two immediately abandoned the city and fled. Afterwards, the court is not to blame, it can't be defended, there are no soldiers, there is no food, there is no wall, even if Di Qing goes, he can't defend the small city of Hengzhou.

Nong Zhigao changed the Tiannan Kingdom to the Great Southern Kingdom, called the Renhui Emperor, granted amnesty to the territory, and canonized hundreds of officials. Then the soldiers extended again and entered Guizhou, Zhizhou Li Ju abandoned the city and fled, entered Gongzhou, Zhizhou Zhang Xu abandoned the city, entered Tengzhou, and Zhizhou Li Zhi abandoned the city. Entering Wuzhou, Zhizhou Jiang abandoned the city. However, there was a heroic scene in Lingnan again. The rebel forces reached Fengzhou, which was even smaller and not as large as Hengzhou, not to mention that it had a city wall. And because it is in the heart of Lingnan and close to Guangzhou, the common people never know about military affairs. Someone advised Zhizhou Cao Jin to run away in a hurry like other Zhizhou.

Cao Zhen shouted: "I am a national minister, a thief, there is death and myself, and those who dare to avoid thieves will be killed!" ”

Then he called the soldiers, it was very pitiful, only a hundred soldiers were summoned, and they were not regular soldiers, they were all native soldiers, and they had no combat experience at all, and Nong Zhi's subordinates had reached tens of thousands of people! is such a big suspense, Zhizhou does not avoid death, and his subordinates do not avoid death.

Metropolitan eunuch Chen Ye led more than 100 villagers and archers to meet the attack, it was an egg to the stone, a hundred people could not defeat tens of thousands of people, defeated in a battle, the soldiers were defeated, Cao Ji was held, unyielding and scolded. Nong Zhigao was a little chilled, except for Chen Hui, all the way, starting from Hengshanzhai, the village advocated a new day, Yongzhou inspected Gao Shi'an, and Wu Xiang died in battle. Zhang Li and others died unyieldingly, and the other officials fled, but almost no officials surrendered.

Therefore, Nong Zhigao wanted to make Cao Jin submit and sent people to surrender repeatedly. And he said, from me, get the beautiful officer, and pay you the handle. Take your wife as a woman.

Cao Jin did not bow down, and scolded: "The people and ministers only worship the Son of Heaven in the north, how can I wait and survive!" Kill me quickly. ”

Nong Zhigao regretted not to kill, locked him in the boat, Cao Jin refused to eat and begged for death, and gave him the seal in his arms as a pawn, saying. I'm going to die, and if you can live, please give it to the court.

Seeing that he was unyielding, Nong Zhi was very harmful, and scolded the thief to death, and threw his body into the river, when he was only five years Chinese New Year's Eve old.

Re-enter Connecticut, Connecticut Zhizhou is Zhao Shidan. is Zhao Zhen's nephew, who made up for the official with shade. Perhaps an orthodox scholar would have ridiculed such an official, but it was him. Once again, the heroic demeanor of some officials of the Song Dynasty bloomed.

The traitor broke Yongzhou and went east along the Yushui, Zhao Shidan sent someone to spy on the thief, and the spy came back to report and said: "The thief is too big, and the guards of all the states have abandoned the city and fled." ”

Zhao Shidan shouted: "You also want me to be this kind of official who is greedy for life and afraid of death? ”

The scouts didn't dare to speak.

In the territory of Dasuo, three spies who got Nong Zhigao were all beheaded. The conscription began, Connecticut was a little bigger, and there was a city wall, so he could recruit three hundred village soldiers. The conditions are a little better than Cao Jin's. The thief soldiers have arrived, Zhao Shidan opened the city gate and went out to fight, killing dozens of people, and at dusk, the thieves went a little away.

Zhao Shidan returned to the city and said to his wife: "Tomorrow, the main force of the thieves will arrive in Kangzhou." I have too few troops in my hands to be defeated, but as an official of the court, I cannot escape. But you are different, you are only my family, and if you stay, you will die, and it will be useless. ”

Give the state seal to the wife, and let the wife hide it with her son.

He also summoned his subordinates to eat dinner with Ma Gui and the soldiers, Ma Gui and the soldiers were afraid and couldn't eat, but Zhao Shidan was full of food as usual. At night, Ma Gui and others were restless, and Zhao Shidan fell asleep and snored. The next day, Nong Zhigao's main force arrived and launched an attack on Connecticut. Although there are city walls, the city walls are too short and full of dangers. Someone advised Zhao Shidan to avoid it, and Zhao Shidan said: "What is the difference between dying in battle and stabbing to death? ”…,

Just death!

So more than 300 soldiers shouted together: "I am willing to die for the country." ”

When the city was broken, not a single soldier fled, and all of them died heroically. The arrows in the city were exhausted, Zhao Shidan and Ma Gui returned, sat according to the party, Nong Zhigao's soldiers entered with a clamour, Zhao Shidan scolded: "Hungry, what is there in the court to be sorry for you, but dare to rebel?" The Son of Heaven sent a school of soldiers, and you have nothing to do. ”

Nong Zhigao was furious.

What he was most afraid of was that someone would say that the Song Dynasty was not thin on their father and son, not only did they never levy any taxes, but also supported their father to ascend to the throne, and there were occasional rewards. Rebellion is its ambition, and there is no great righteousness to speak of. After thinking about it for a long time, the Huang brothers came up with a reason for him, and today he offended Jiaozhi, but China did not accept me, and he had nothing to hide, and he had no choice but to turn his back.

But this reason cannot be seriously analyzed, except for those who don't understand can be bewitched, and those who know a little bit of the inside story will not be tenable. Once Zhao Shidan exposed the truth, his soldiers would inevitably be disheartened, so Zhao Shidan and Ma Gui were killed.

Re-entering Duanzhou, Zhizhou Ding Baochen abandoned the city and fled. However, Ding Baochen was a famous literati in the Song Dynasty, and many scholars and doctors were friends, after his death, Ouyang Xiu and Wang Anshi made Baochen's tombstones, and tampered with historical facts indiscriminately, saying that Baochen had gone to war, and he was captured, and he went after not winning. For this reason, Zheng Lang had an argument with Ouyang Xiu, but that was later.

Take Duanzhou, and Guangzhou is in front. Two days ago, there were many people who were in an emergency, but there was a nonsense Zhizhou, Zhong Jian thought that he was in vain, and he did not reward the person who was in a hurry, but sent the person who was in a hurry to the prison, and ordered: "Those who have a thief will be killed." ”

I don't believe it, at the beginning of May, Nong Zhigao captured Yongzhou City, and it was less than May 20, how did Nong Zhigao's rebels march to Duanzhou? Guangzhou is not the capital of other prefectures, there are more than 100,000 households, and most of these people are scattered in the suburbs of various counties. Suddenly with a large amount of luggage rushed in, even if there were several gates in Guangzhou City, they were in a hurry. In order to avoid thieves, the people rushed to enter the city first, bribed the soldiers guarding the gate with Jinbei to get in, and trampled on each other countless dead.

Zheng Lang didn't pay much attention to this, Lingnan almost became an isolated world in the Song Dynasty. It wasn't until he was about to prepare for the army that Zheng Lang remembered. But at that time, it was too late to transfer, and although Zhong Jian was not good, he was meritorious in guarding the city of Guangzhou, unlike other officials, who fled when he heard the news. Once Guangzhou City falls into the hands of Nong Zhi, the losses will be even more serious.

Therefore, knowing that Zhong Jian did not do well, he did not move him.

When the thieves arrived, many people were not allowed to enter the city, so they attached the thieves together, and the thieves became more powerful.

……

When Nong Zhigao rebelled. The imperial court is discussing the making of music.

In later generations, music was only an art, but in this time it was of a very different nature, almost equal to the position of ritual. However, the five generations have changed, many musical instrument sizes, the pitch of the rhythm has changed, can not be unified, Zhao Zhen in the first year of the emperor issued an edict, had let the ministers discuss.

In this regard, Zheng Lang has been interested. In his heart, the position of etiquette is still very important, which is the basis for maintaining feudal rule. But music is different, after more than a thousand years of evolution, in the Song Dynasty, it also became a kind of entertainment, or, can cultivate people's sentiments.

The ministers disputed, but Zheng Lang never participated.

According to various records of the Zhou and Han dynasties, Cao Fan Town, the Ministry of Officials. On the last very long memorabilia, based on the records of the ancients, the standards of various musical instruments are inferred. The pitch is high and low. The performance was sent to the detailed center, and Fan Zhen claimed to have obtained the ancient method, but the argument of Sima Guangshu of Jixian School was difficult, and he thought it was inconsistent.

Continuing to argue, in fact, Zhao Zhen's heart is about the same as Zheng Lang, no matter who is right or wrong, as long as there is a set of standards to implement, so as not to be chaotic now. Zhao Zhen saw that he had been arguing for three years, so he asked Zheng Lang to preside over the detailed music law. …,

The actual battle of music is not only in the past three years. There was a dispute from the time of Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin thought that the sound of Yale was high, not in harmony, and Zhao Chengong and Xian took the Luoyang bronze stone ruler as the new degree, and the law Lu. When Zhao Zhen, Xiao Xiao said that the instrument was not harmonious. Then Li Zhao, who is proficient in music theory, examines the standards of ancient law. Therefore, the former music is called Hexian Le, and Jing Yu is also called Li Zhaole. But Li Zhao is not the only one who understands music, for example, Zheng Lang and Sima Guang are proficient in music rhythm, and some ministers still think it is not beautiful after hearing Li Zhaole. So the official and the imperial history discussed the wrongs, and reconciled with Xianle. Later, he ordered Ruan Yi and Hu Ying to participate in the system, and even made a bell chime, which was well made, and there were many discordant music, so the ministers questioned Ruan Yile.

He also ordered Fan Zhen to discuss music theory with Liu Fan, Yang Jie and other ministers, and it took Fan Zhen three years to determine the music theory in detail and play it. There are still Sima Guang and other ministers who are suspicious, and when they arrived at Huizong of the Song Dynasty, they asked Cai Jing to preside over the laws of the Wei and Han dynasties, breaking the wrongs of the Confucianism of the ancestors, and using Xia Yu to use the text of the body to cast the emperor and Jing Zhong. Although Cai Jing was a famous traitor in the Song Dynasty, it was Cai Jing's most elegant music that became the real standard.

In fact, the music method is very trivial, not only the size of the instrument, but also the materials, workmanship, the formulation and standard of the rhythm, and the skills of the musician when playing, all of which can make the music change.

After Zheng Lang received the order, he had to convene Fan Zhen, Sima Guang, Liu Fan, Yang Jie and others again, starting with Zhong Qi. The royal music, one is Yahe, the other is Hongzheng, the bell is the most important musical instrument, followed by Xun, Chi, Qin, Ruan, Sheng, Xiao, Zheng, Se, Zhu and other musical instruments.

Start with the instrument and then unify the rhythm.

The standard is to first search for records of the instrument from various ancient texts, and then make a musical instrument based on these records, and deduce all the rhythms of the instrument after it was formed, as well as the effect of the use of the material. Zheng Lang presided over and the ministers assisted, but after a long time, until Zheng Lang left the capital, the various musical instruments had not yet been made to a standard. It wasn't until two years later that the music barely came to fruition, but there was still controversy, and there was some dissonant noise in some of the rhythms.

The news of Kong Zongdan's murder reached Jingshi.

The rebellion was strong, and Pang Ji invited Zheng Lang to Xifu to discuss, and handed the letter written by Kong Zongdan to Zheng Lang.

The text on the letter was written very calmly, repeatedly saying that the court should not be underestimated, and there was not a word about his family and himself Kong Zongdan.

Looking at this letter, Zheng Lang suddenly cried, tears dripping from his eyes, and bowed to the south.

has been in power for a long time, Zheng Lang did not be a woman for the sake of the overall situation, and deliberately let the south erosive, so that his plan could succeed. The erosion in the south is not serious, and if you ask for troops to use troops in the south, you will be blocked by the minister. However, without soldiers, if the south cannot be stable, it will not be able to develop the Changsha region and the Lingnan region, so many people will inevitably become sacrificed pawns in this big chess game, including Kong Zongdan.

The approach is right, but Zheng Lang is a human being in two lives, both are not evil, and Zheng Lang also has to bear a lot of responsibility for Kong Zongdan's death, one is moved, and the other is guilty, so Zheng Lang cried.

He muttered again: "I hurt Zongdan." ”

Pang Ji didn't know Zheng Lang's thoughts, thinking that Zheng Lang had concluded that Nong Zhigao would be the opposite last year, but he didn't make much arrangements, and he blamed himself in his heart before saying this, but what about last year? Nong Zhigao did not rebel, could the imperial court send troops to the south on a large scale? That's Lingnan!

If you do this last year, you will be impeached and opposed by countless ministers.

But Zheng Lang's tears, the matter is a big deal, after Zhao Zhen heard about it, he posthumously presented Kong Zongdan as the prince of Lu Guogong, and published his deeds in the newspaper, which inspired people. Let the civil and military people learn from it. Subsequently, all kinds of bad news quickly spread to Jingshi.

Guangduan Prefecture inspected Gao Shi'an and Nong Zhigao in the city and was defeated by the thieves. Without him, there is too much difference in strength. Gao Shi'an only had a few thousand miscellaneous troops in his hands, less than one-tenth of Nong Zhigao's number. Gao Shi'an had no choice but to retreat to Guangzhou City and defend the city. …,

The imperial court heard that if Guangzhou was lost, the entire Lingnan would be eroded, and Fujian Road and Jiangnan West Road would be in danger.

So they decided to send an army to suppress it.

When the ruler was in charge, there was a dispute among the ministers.

The best man is Zheng Lang. He was born in Wenchen and made great achievements, but Zheng Lang is the prime minister, and he can't let a prime minister lead the troops at every turn, which is not in line with the system, and the Song Dynasty can't suffer from Zheng Lang's dependence.

There are other candidates, Di Qing.

But he was a military general, and he went to lead the troops. Many scholars have no bottom in their hearts.

There is also one person, Zhang Kang, who was born as a Jinshi. But the doctor classified him as a military general, and he was Zheng Lang's descendant, and he was exempted from Zhang Kang and the ministers.

So thinking of the other two, Yu Jing and Yang Jin, they were also well thought out. Yu Jing is a Wenchen, who once had a trip to be a governor in Shaozhou, and he did a good job, finishing the fort barriers, so that Nong Zhigao rebelled. These forts played an important role in preventing Nong Zhigao from going north. And Yu Jing has always been a hawkish minister, not only hawkish, as an official, he loves the people and is a good official. That is, the selected coach must dare to fight. He will not be cowardly in battle, but he must also love the people, and he must not let Wang Quanbin's cruelty to the people of Sichuan happen again, so as to avoid chaos again after the Lingnan rebellion is pacified. Coupled with his travel experience in Shaozhou, Yu Jing has become the best candidate for coach.

Yang Jin was born as a Jinshi, but he also has another identity, the son of the Yang general, who has been in the south for a long time and has experience in fighting with barbarians.

There is another reason, the two happened to encounter their father's funeral, and they were worried at home, and there was no official position to drag them down.

So Zhao Zhen chose the two as the commander, Yang Zhen felt very bitter after receiving the order, the Yang family will be a military attaché, has always been despised by the ministers, so he studied hard Confucianism, and was admitted to the Jinshi, just to get rid of the identity of the military general's family. But the imperial court has always regarded him as a military general, and he knew that this was the case, so it was better to learn the art of martial arts and war, and simply become a military general.

I was unhappy and came to the capital gate, resigned to mourning clothes, and did not dare to enter the meeting. Zhao Zhen gave his own imperial scarf, let him enter the palace, spoke for a long time, added an official on the spot, worshiped the people of the house with the knowledge of the court, is a civil official, and actually still serves as a military general.

Nong Zhigao's troops came to the city of Guangzhou, only Chen Shu, the governor of Shaozhou, dared to lead the troops to crusade against Nong Zhigao, the record is unknown, it is estimated that he did not bargain, but his courage is commendable, and he moved to the jurisdiction of Guangxi Road, and Li Shu, the envoy of Guangdong Road Prison, to catch and kill the barbarian thieves.

Kong Zongdan was so loyal and martyred that Zhao Zhen's impression of several cool officials such as the Three Tigers of Jiangdong and the Four Eyes of Shandong was reversed, and Wang Yu was moved to the Jiangnan West Road to raise some prison envoys, in order to prepare for Nong Zhigao's erosion to Jiangxi.

Two more people were moved.

First, Wang Deyong, the Khitan envoy of the Qianyuan Festival, the Liao envoy once asked: "Is the black king Xianggong a revival of evil?" ”

So he asked Wang De, who had already been to Shi, to use the Fu to make Tongping Zhangshi for the three cities of Heyang, and sentenced Zhengzhou.

The second is to take Di Qing as the privy deputy envoy.

In fact, the reuse of the second military generals is to prevent accidents, once the south erodes, Zhao Zhen is worried that the Khitan will take the opportunity to go south and attack from the north and south. Therefore, Wang Deyong and Di Qing were used to deter the Khitan.

Many ministers were puzzled and had no objection to the appointment of the former, who had been prime ministers for many years, and was old and would not endanger national security, but many ministers were not convinced by Di Qing's appointment. Even Zheng Lang did not approve of it, Zhao Zhen had Zhao Zhen's intentions, and Di Qing's military merits could also serve as the deputy minister of the Western Mansion, but it was not in line with the Song Dynasty system. There are military generals, such as Wang Deyong, but Wang Deyong is far away from the army and is only given an honorary position when he is old. At this time, Di Qing was still leading the army, and once he appointed a deputy minister, it would inevitably arouse the opposition of the literati.

Zhao Zhen did not reward Di Qing, but harmed Di Qing.

Under the book, in the imperial history, King Cheng raised the right words and sent troops to govern, which was not available in this dynasty. Zuo Si admonished Jia Dian and Yushi Han Zhen also thought that Zhao Zhen did not listen, there were police in the main south, and several ministers objected a few words, and did not speak again. …,

Di Qing rushed to the capital from Fuzhou, Zhao Zhen received him, and gave Di Qing medicine to remove the tattoo on his face, Di Qing pointed to his face and said: "Your Majesty promotes the ministers to merit, regardless of the family, so the ministers have today, from the face of Nier, I am willing to stay here to persuade the generals and soldiers in the army to serve Your Majesty, and I dare not serve the edict." ”

Zhao Zhen was very moved when he heard it.

Zheng Lang frowned even more after hearing this, although starting from Fan Zhongyan's Qingli New Deal, he pointed out the disadvantages of the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, and talked about it by seniority, Bao Zheng and others said this matter in a book. However, the officialdom of the Song Dynasty still mostly employs people based on seniority. Fan Zhongyan and Bao Zheng said that it has nothing to do with it, this is a contradiction within the scholars. The words of Duo Di Qing were not right, it was the military general's questioning of the disadvantages of the officialdom of the Song Dynasty. Let me ask, in the Song Dynasty, what right did a military general have to dictate to Wenchen?

I don't know how to persuade him, so I can't help but say to Di Qing, you beg the emperor to remove you from the position of privy deputy envoy, or learn from Wang Deyong as a good grandson of a scholar? Will Di Qing listen?

After thinking about it, Zheng Lang only came up with a way, to take Di Qing with him, keep him by his side, stay in the south all the time, constantly squeeze out the value of his body, and then hand it over to the scholar doctor to torture slowly......

Jia Dian also said that Yu Jing and Yang Jin should be allowed to do it cheaply, and the imperial court let Yu Jing know Guizhou, and the Guangxi Road was controlled by the thief to the east, so it was not under Yu Jing's control, and he could not order the people. It is better to pay for the right to control the two roads.

Yu Jing also felt inconvenienced, and said that the thief was in Guangzhou, and the envoy was in the west, and he was not the minister's ambition.

So he ordered Yu Jing to control two kinds of thieves.

Although there are all kinds of equipment in the court, they still look down on Nong Zhigao, thinking that as soon as Yu Yang and the others go to Lingnan, they can pacify the thief. Only Zheng Lang knew in his heart that there was a lot of trouble. But it doesn't matter, the Nong Zhigao incident is not necessarily a bad thing, in Zheng Lang's mind, the plan is even bigger. But the ministers must be pained before they can follow their plans.

But Zheng Lang didn't expect that someone had already pointed the finger at him. RQ
