。 Zheng Lang prepared for the southern crusade, Bao Zheng played in Hebei, please stop all the internal Qu En, and list the three sparse Tang Wei Zheng Gong, please take the seat as a reference. (The records of Zheng Gong of Tang Wei are the quotations of Wei Zheng's advice written by Wang Fangqing, a minister of the Tang Dynasty, a total of five volumes, recording dozens of events related to Wei Zheng's advice)

Seven things to say.

The first thing is to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, Your Majesty is lenient and tolerant of the masses, including some insidious ministers, who pretend to be rootless, frame the good, and make the good ministers ostracized and unable to defend themselves. Once something happens, who does the court rely on? For the first thing, Zheng Lang is not very approtic, it is true to distinguish loyalty and treachery, but Bao Zheng ignores one of the most important things, the lord is good, and the lord is evil. Even if Cai Jing and his ilk live in the Zhao Zhen Dynasty, they must work hard to do some practical things, otherwise they will not be allowed to move. If Lu Yijian lived in the Song Huizong Dynasty, he might be even worse than Cai Jing.

The second thing is that the friends are not good, but they can't enter a good person, and they often say that the friends are mutually beneficial, and they are mediocre, and they also say that the friends are jealous, and they demonize the friends too much, and the righteous people dare not speak publicly, which is a major disaster for the country. He Weipeng's party, the Tang Zhipeng party started from Muzong, flourished in Wenzong Wuzong, and the Han party, which began with Emperor An and was extremely close to Huan Ling. With His Majesty's qualifications, will there be a time when the Han and Tang Dynasties will decline? Zheng Lang agreed for the most part, and the friends would not be harmful for the time being, but its seeds were already buried in the moist soil, and they would deteriorate if they were not prevented. But it's not good to be too demonized.

The third is to be light and aggressive (selling fame and reputation and radicalism), the dictatorship of the ministers is jealous, and if there is a construction, it is said to be aggressive, so that the courtiers dare not be effective. Or the ministers ignore the time and scruples, and directly point out the matter and say it, then they will do everything possible to obstruct it, so that it cannot be done. Therefore, most of the incumbents follow the cowardly in order to get the plan, and the people with lofty ideals have nothing to do. Please Your Majesty is willing to accept and discuss, and do not guess by speculation. This minister does not refer to the ruling minister, but to the entire Song Dynasty officialdom. This article hit Zheng Lang's heart, not only Bao Zheng said, but also said it many times. But it's useless, the whole officialdom is like this, what should I do?

The four cheap entered first, and the matter of the imperial court. Regardless of the reasoning, it cannot be distinguished in order. If the first entrant is yes, it will harm the virtuous and profit-making ministers, and they will be slandered in the shadows, but they are afraid that they will be the last, and the evil and righteous in the world will be disturbed, and His Majesty will be clever. This one is also very well said. But Bao Zheng has not yet pointed out the core idea, and he can't choose the priority according to the priority, and some things need to be carefully considered after all.

The fifth is the release of the ban, this is the demon moth made by Cai Xiang, and the ruling is not allowed to see the guests, in case Lu Yijian, although he was lax by Zheng Lang's advice, but because of the deep roots. When receiving guests, there are scruples. Bao Zheng gave an example, the auxiliary ministers are not allowed to meet with guests, and the hundred officials can only do things in vain. Taiwan officials are not allowed to speak privately, and criminal law officials are not allowed to meet with those who have committed crimes, how can the country do it? This is not the emperor's sincerity. We should innovate the close system and promote the trust in the group, such as the beginning of Jingyu, then it will be perfect. Zheng Lang must be very happy about this, although he won't stay in Zhongshu for a long time.

Sixth, into the meritocracy, in recent years, there have been several catastrophes, insects and locusts. If the Sacred Heart is like this, how can it not be filled with calamity, and Yin and Yang? This is because the government cannot work together to save the times. His Majesty may not be able to appoint the mandate due to some hindrance, so this is also the case. It's not that Zheng Lang, but that the officialdom of the entire Song Dynasty, up to Zhao Zhen and the prime ministers, down to the ministers, is actually doing really well, but it is still very far from the goal that Bao Zheng wants. Therefore, if you want to enter the sage, get the right person, have your ability, and advocate reusing it. Those who hold the Lu and tolerate and can take advantage of the virtuous can be dismissed immediately. Turning danger into safety, easy to turn back.

In fact, Zheng Lang did a good job of this, but if it was perfect, how could it be possible, so Bao Zheng brought it up again.

Seven is a small mistake, in recent years, the subordinates have been expelled, or innocent, or because of small mistakes, or for the yin and evil to fall, or by the power of the secret Zhang, the crime has increased, there is no resentment of the woman, the sun has been tired, the husband is indignant, the frost is blowing, the innocent minister who has been chased, the air feels the world, the sun and the moon are fine, how can the husband and the woman do it? May Your Majesty bow down to read the books and see that there is no great fault in his talents, or with the retribution, or with the favor, then the flood of holy creation, with the same virtue as the sky, the wind of devastation, dare not be wanton. To put it bluntly, it is to employ people, not to be too nitpicky, to use the big, to abandon the small. …,

Seven sparse on the top, Zheng Lang slightly added and changed, and then played the last one, and the two pieces were dedicated to Zhao Zhen, which was mostly adopted.

Subsequently, Bao Zheng built another matter, and dismissed the troops in Hebei, which were divided into Yan, Yun, Qi, Pu, Cao, and Ji Prefectures in Henan, and were immediately dispatched in case of alarm, which was a strategy that was conceived for the country to save expenses. There is no need to station a large number of soldiers in Hebei, and the materials are transported to Hebei, or the mountainous areas in the northwest of Zhendingfu, which is expensive, and the soldiers are raised in Henan, with the benefit of the Grand Canal, and the cost of maintenance will be seriously reduced, and the soldiers do not have to suffer from the separation of their wives. Especially in Hedong, the cost is higher. Then he cited some account expenses as evidence, since Zheng Lang entered the court, the ministers of the Song Dynasty liked to "data", and used data to make evidence of their actions.

It seems to make sense.

Even Zheng Lang did not approve of it, although the suggestion was good, but Bao Zheng ignored the deterrent effect. The Khitan and the Song Dynasty reconciled, firstly, to get the New Year's coin, and secondly, there were a large number of soldiers and some military measures in Hedong, Hebei, and it was not easy to attack. Without these garrisons, it is difficult to ensure that some Khitans do not have bad thoughts if they open the north gate naked.

But Bao Zheng's status in Zheng Lang's heart is heavier.

Although Bao Qingtian is too far away from the later generations, he is also a good official, especially some people who are very sober, far better than Ouyang Xiu, the master of the literary world. Therefore, when communicating with Zhao Zhen, he lightly mentioned that Bao Zheng is good.

Enough is enough.

With Zheng Lang's current status, as long as anyone asks him to say this, his career will rise to the top.

is only this sentence, because of the Tang Bao dispute, Zhao Zhen's bad impression of Bao Zheng was immediately reversed.

After the summer, compared with previous years, the weather is quite normal, as long as the weather is normal, it means that a better year has arrived, but from the south came the sound of Jin Ge iron drums.

……

knew that Nong Zhigao would rebel, but Zheng Lang kept saying that he was not clear, and only said that he was prepared. Therefore, almost no one in the entire Lingnan officialdom knows about it, and no one is guarded, either Zhao Zhenzhi writes that Lingnan is "prepared", and God knows what preparations these officials in Lingnan will have.

There are also officials who are very sober-minded, when Fan Zhongyan was in charge at that time, he forcibly suppressed some bad officialdom and used many cool officials, these cool officials are not necessarily bad officials, and everyone is not evil. But there is one thing in common, that is, the first section is cruel, including the four tigers of Jiangdong, and the four stares of Shandong Li Dao, Xu Cheng, Shang Tong, and Kong Zongdan. Wait a minute.

This is very different from the moderate atmosphere of the entire Song Dynasty.

Including Bao Zheng, who also has a tough attitude towards politics, he doesn't like these cool officials.

The Qingli New Deal initiated by Fan Zhongyan failed, and these cool officials were purged one after another, especially Kong Zongdan, and there were more people who hated him, so he was assigned to Yongzhou as a secretary, and then to Hengzhou. It's a small state in the South. The area is very small, about the size of a county in the later Hengxian County, but the topography is very important, located in the east of Yongzhou, which is an important gateway from Yongzhou to Guangzhou.

One day, Kong Zongdan passed by Yushui and saw that the river was overflowing, and Bai Qi appeared in court, and it was estimated that the river was large. The sun is fierce, and because of the relationship between light and shadow, the water vapor rising into the sky is revealed. When it fell into Kong Zongdan's eyes, he thought that white gas was emerging from the water and rising to the sky. Kong Zongdan said that it was a soldier elephant, and told Chen Hui by letter, and after Chen Heng received the letter, he scolded: "Sihu is crazy? ”

Are you funny? People have enmity with Jiaozhi, even if they fight, they will start a war with Jiaozhi, what reason is there to rebel against the Song Dynasty?

This is a superstitious statement, it is estimated that Kong Zongdan heard some faint rumors, plus this "celestial phenomenon". There was a police in his heart, and he wrote a letter to inform Chen Hui and asked him to take precautions. Chen Heng didn't listen, Kong Zongdan was demoted, and his reputation was not very good, so he was helpless.

Nong Zhigao is ready to do it. …,

Zhao Zhen's decree blocked all his excuses at once. If you want to return to the Song Dynasty, okay, hand over your country, and our Song Dynasty will take you in. If you don't make a deal, our Song Dynasty won't be guilty of going to war with Jiaozhi for your Tiannan Kingdom.

Nong Zhigao is helpless in the face of all his tricks in the face of this decree.

But the two sides came and went, alarmed two literati in Guangzhou, both Jinshi, one is called Huang Wei, the other is called Huang Shimi, who was admitted to Jinshi, and it was the carp that jumped into Longmen, but it may not be admitted to Jinshi, so he can squeeze into the ranks of first-class adults, and there is a process of surveying and grinding. If you are lucky and get the attention of the imperial court, you will have a second leap into the dragon gate, and the future will be immeasurable. If you are unlucky, or your ability is insufficient, you will be a small county magistrate for life, or a small secretary and other positions, and everyone will be in the dark.

And the most important thing about these brothers is that they, like Zhang Yuan, have repeatedly won the provincial examination of Zhongjinshi, but the palace examination has been eliminated, so they have always complained about the Song Dynasty, so they incarnated as the second Zhang Yuan. The two brothers can take the provincial test at the same time, which shows that their family background is a famous family in Guangzhou, well-informed, and when they heard some useful gossip, the two thought of another person at the same time, Zhang Yuan!

Look at Zhang Yuan, although he was not used by the Song Dynasty, but he became the Taishi of Western Xia, rich and noble all his life, they could not defect to Western Xia, too far, but there was a person who could make them realize their dreams, so they went to Guangyuan Prefecture, faced Nong Zhigao, offered advice, Nong Zhigao listened to it as fascinated, and immediately cited them as his own think tank.

With the planning of these two brothers, Nong Zhigao's various ambitious plans began to be implemented in an orderly manner, and when he heard Kong Zongdan's letter to Chen Hui, Nong Zhigao faintly felt that the Song Dynasty would be alert to him sooner or later, and planned day and night with Huang Wei, Huang Shimi, and the clan party Nong Jianzhong and Nong Zhizhong, and first sent people to infiltrate Yongzhou City. At this time, there are very few Han people in Yongzhou City, most of them are local mature barbarians, in fact, until Guangnan East Road, there are mostly barbarians in the cities of various states, but all are mature barbarians, and the proportion of Han people accounts for very little, only in the Pearl River Delta, because there are Guangzhou, as well as Shaozhou and other large state cities, since the Han Dynasty, there have been many Han people, and the proportion of Han people has increased one after another.

These people secretly bewitched the familiar barbarians, but Chen Heng was incompetent, and he didn't know what was happening under his eyes, and many barbarians let Nong Zhigao calmly tempt.

The first step of the plan was very smooth, and the second step of the plan was implemented, Nong Zhigao threatened among other people that today I have offended Jiaozhi, and China will not accept me, and I will not be ashamed, and I will not be able to turn my ears!

There's no way around it. The Song Dynasty included Guangyuan and other prefectures outside its borders, but since ancient times, China has ruled here, and many people still regard the Song Dynasty as their mother country, and if they are allowed to betray the Song Dynasty, they will be suspicious without some means.

Talking about it every day, talking about it all the time, Chen Heng doesn't care about it, Jiaozhi doesn't know if he has heard of it, it is estimated that he has heard it, and he will also tacitly ignore it, they are more ambitious in Lingnan, and they are highly resourceful and rebellious, they will be optimistic, and they don't even mind, and they will be a profitable little yellow finch at the right time.

Finally, under repeated brainwashing, most of the people agreed to rebel with Nong Zhigao.

Although most people agreed to rebel, some people were hesitant to rebel against the Song Dynasty. The Huang brothers thought of an even more vicious plan, one night. He sent people to burn all the supplies in his lair, and then gathered the people of the tribe, and said, "Our grain is burned together." If you want to live, there is only one way, occupy Yongzhou and Guangzhou, and become a country of our own, otherwise we will all die.

All the barbarians were dumbfounded together, there may not be a way to survive if they rebelled, but they did not rebel. Death is inevitable, so be the opposite.

This trick finally tied all the tribes in his territory to the chariot of the Nong rebellion. At first, there were not many men, less than 10,000 people, but in the entire loosely defended Lingnan, it was already a huge army, albeit a ragtag army. …,

All the way to the city of Yongzhou. Yongzhou was fenced. Chen Heng panicked and didn't know what to do, and hurriedly ordered Qianzuo to guard the far gate and Li Su to guard the Da'an Gate. Bukit guards the gate of heaven and defends. There were not many troops in the city of Yongzhou, and Pennsylvania in the north of Yongzhou heard that there were police in Yongzhou, so Zhang Li led an army from Pennsylvania to help. It's also a ragtag army, only a few hundred people. However, it seems to be good news, since Penn can send reinforcements, then Xiangzhou, Guizhou (Guixian County, Guangxi), Qinzhou, Hengzhou, etc. can also send reinforcements. Although Yongzhou City is not repaired often, there is still a risk of the city wall, and the thief's will will not succeed.

Chen Heng took out the wine and meat and rewarded the three armies. Indeed, in the face of the Yongzhou city wall, Nong Zhigao and the Huang brothers had no way. After drinking, we were about to work, and everyone began to defend the city, when suddenly there was a shout of slashing and killing from behind, and the people of Yongzhou raised their weapons one by one. The Song army on the city wall has been moved, and it cannot be regarded as the Song army, the real Song army is only a few hundred people, and the others are all native soldiers from Yongbin Erzhou, who are also barbarians.

Nong Zhigao sent someone to pull Chen Jue up and asked, "I asked my subordinates to ask for an official to take charge of all the ministries, why didn't you report to the imperial court?" ”

Why does Nong Zhigao repeatedly make a fuss about it, fighting for this righteousness, otherwise what should I do? The Song Dynasty was kind to the Nong family, but it was wrong to rebel. It's not that I want to rebel now, it's that the Song Dynasty has betrayed my kindness and has to rebel! There will be more people to support it.

But can the Song Dynasty give him the right to dominate the tribes?

I don't know if Chen Heng thought of this festival, but he didn't dare to distinguish it, and said in a reluctance, it's not that I don't play for you, I played, but the book is not reported, I am only a small Zhizhou, what can I do?

Nong Zhigao suddenly took out the letter he wrote to Chen Heng, and shouted, You said that you played, why are these letters still backlogged in your Yongzhou Mansion?

Chen Heng was speechless, and suddenly he did something that made Nong Zhigao fall, Chen Heng, who was old and dizzy, and had eye disease, knelt on the ground, faced Nong Zhigao, and shouted long live.

Nong Zhigao and his subordinates were stunned together, what is this old official doing? He wanted to show his allegiance to the Song Dynasty before he died. It took most of the day to react, not to be loyal to the Song Dynasty, but to respect Nong Zhigao as the emperor!

This is the demeanor of the top ministers of the Song Dynasty?

It would be great if the ministers of the Song Dynasty were like Chen Heng. But after a while, their hope was shattered, and they pushed Zhang Li, Qianyou and Chen Fuyao, the official of Jiedu, up, and all three of them did not surrender, and scolded loudly, saying that Nong Zhigao had failed Song En, and he would die if he rebelled. We have a large number of generals in the Great Song Dynasty, with Zheng Lang as the prime minister, Di Qing, Zhang Kang and other famous generals, if you want to rebel, you will definitely die. Nong Zhigao was so angry that he pushed the three out and beheaded them, but the three of them still cursed non-stop, and they were about to be executed.

There are several other officials, Li Su, Wu Ji, Wu Yuan Ling Mei Weizhi, and Su Cong, the four of them have an old relationship with Huang Shimi, which also reflects the energy of the Huang brothers, Huang Shimi persuaded Nong Zhigao that the four of them are not as shameless as Chen Heng, but they are greedy for life and afraid of death, so they only keep silent. So Huang Shimi interceded for the four of them and did not kill them. Nearly 1,000 of the Song Dynasty's miscellaneous officers and soldiers who rebelled in the city also died in this battle.

Nong Zhigao began to count the materials in Yongzhou, and got a large number of weapons and armor, and equipped his subordinates, and the miscellaneous army finally had a little regular army appearance, and then talked about meritorious deeds, and then the army went east, and on the eighth day after the Yongzhou city was broken on the first day of May, the rebels arrived at the city of Hengzhou.

……

Hearing that Yongzhou was besieged, Kong Zongdan was anxious, but Hengzhou was too small, and there were only dozens of relevant officials and strong men, so he urgently called the local soldiers to prepare for assistance. …,

Kong Zongdan sighed: "Chen Heng mistook the imperial court, Yongzhou, and me. ”

advised Chen Heng to be on guard early and did not listen, which led to this disaster.

One of his disciples persuaded: "Sihu, the court is not kind to you, abandon Hengzhou and run away." ”

Yongzhou still has a tall city wall, but Hengzhou doesn't even have a city wall, Yongzhou can still organize one or two thousand native soldiers, Hengzhou can't even organize hundreds of native soldiers, Yongzhou City still has a large number of weapons and armor materials, and Hengzhou City has no either. Yongzhou is broken, and Hengzhou can't hold it at all.

Kong Zongdan shook his head and said, "I have an official guard, and I can't leave." ”

"Sihu, it's not your fault, the thieves rebelled, and the officials of several states didn't know, only you spoke to remind you, and you are worthy of the imperial court." The humble man was still persuading. He is also reasonable, Kong Zongdan has been poor since he was a child, after being admitted to the Jinshi, in order to serve the imperial court, suppress corrupt officials and corrupt officials, although he has done too much, he also wants the Song Dynasty to become better, but he was sent to Yongzhou to do the household, even so, Kong Zongdan has quite a political achievement in Yongzhou, seeing that the Sulu area of the North is often flooded, mobilize migrant workers, and between the upper reaches of the Xinwei River and Dingpo, it took four years to build the Tonggupi Water Conservancy Project, which solved the irrigation problem of the local people, and saved many people from floods, drought and flood to ensure income. In order to thank Kong Zongdan, the people of Sulu and Sulu built temples to commemorate them.

Worthy of the imperial court.

Kong Zongdan shook his head: "I am an official of the Song Dynasty, how can I be greedy for life and afraid of death?" Confucius, you protect my family and go to Guizhou, and by the way, write a letter to the court for me. ”

As he spoke, he wrote a letter, and then asked the old servant to send his family out of Hengzhou.

Sent outside the city, the car drove farther and farther, and Kong Zongdan still stood like a javelin.

The wind was hot in May, and the north may have become a little hot, but the wind in Hengzhou was extremely hot, blowing on his face, as if blowing a fire.

In the sound of the wind, Kong Zongdan seems to smell the breath of his hometown in the wind, the smell of those sorghum in Shandong, the shouting of the whole city in the capital, and the sound of his mother's advice, and the scenes of the past come to his mind, as if he saw the hungry and full time in his childhood, as if he saw the scenery of his ranking on the palace examination list, as if he saw his ambition to serve the court for officials. There is also the thin and tall figure of the mother, the expectant eyes of many people, and the sound of the waves of the Yellow River going east......

Kong Zongdan stood like this, and there was a loud noise from heaven and earth, and this was a group of demons who had escaped from hell and endangered the world. However, Kong Zongdan's body didn't move, and at that moment, compared to the demon shadow that was getting closer and closer, it seemed that all the light in heaven and earth was gathered in him......

The wind is stronger, the voice is whimpering, but the mournful voice is getting higher and higher-pitched, and finally forms a main tone, that is, justice, then the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, the rich and the rich cannot be lewd, and the mighty cannot be bent!

On the eighth day of the fifth month, the traitor recaptured Hengzhou, and Zongdan was held by the thief, but this Shandong man never gave in, scolded the thief loudly, and was killed by the thief. (。 )
