"Xianggong, am I wrong?" Yan Rong said.

"No, but it's okay to say it to me, but not to anyone."

"Whoa."

"Go on."

"It's like the benevolence that the gentleman is about to write."

"Well, how to say it."

"When interests conflict with military generals, Wenchen scholars and doctors will join forces to suppress military generals." Yan Rong said. Sima Guang and Wang Anshi also have different opinions on the views of the generals, and often quarrel, Sima Guang attaches great importance to the rule of scholars, and Wang Anshi thinks it is appropriate to give some rights to the generals, and now the court has overcorrected and brought bad drawbacks. He is clumsy, he doesn't have the ability to discern and participate, but he often thinks about it, and in a sense he still thinks that Wang Anshi's idea is right. He continued: "When it comes to the Shidaifu group, it is divided into two groups because of the difference in theory. Each group can also be divided into a number of smaller groups. Therefore, there is a party struggle among the scholars, but this party struggle is aimed at the internal division of the scholars. ”

"What did your husband say?"

"No, it's my idea."

"That's right, and the other thing is that many scholars want to be high-ranking officials......," Chen Zhizhong said softly.

He didn't think it was wrong to covet the position, why did Yang Kai stop Xia Zhu, this is the struggle between the Gentleman's Party and the Lilliputian's Party, and it is also a struggle of personal contradictions, Yang Kai and Xia Zhu have some grievances, and Xia Zhu has been impeached several times. If Xia Zhu succeeds in recruiting native soldiers in Shaanxi and makes meritorious contributions, he will inevitably enter Dongfu as the prime minister.

About that Zheng family, he can't get used to this, and he can't be brought into state affairs because of personal grievances, but how many ministers can do it?

This is a struggle of interests.

Explain it vaguely, it is Wang's son-in-law Jackie Chan who deliberately teaches Yan Rong. Don't look at the many gentlemen in the court, these gentlemen are more ruthless than the other, and there were originally court battles, such as the battles between Kou Zhun and Ding Wei, Wang Qinruo and others, but in addition to Ding Wei, other people also strictly observed some ancient rituals.

However, these gentlemen are different, in order to hit their opponents, they talk nonsense, or use their talents to write articles to splash the opponent's small shortcomings into black ink. Don't look at Zheng Jiazi as a literati, a talent, and a scholar, if all the gentlemen fight back, at most one year, Zheng Jiazi will be classified as a villain.

The gentleman is a spoof, and the opposing ministers are not simple.

Without a few brushes, these people grew up, and ordinary people didn't want to stay in the court.

"I still don't understand, why is the infighting so fierce, a small Western Xia, but no minister has come up with a way to deal with it?"

Chen Zhizhong squirted tea again.

This question is asked to Chen Zhizhong, which is beyond Chen Zhizhong's ability to understand.

Zheng Lang should be asked.

Infighting has always been the strength of the Chinese people, a hero of a country, a representative of justice, singing black, at most only half a year. But when it came to foreign wars...... This land is good at raising a group of the most industrious and brave people, and it is also good at raising soft officials and corrupt officials. Except for a few times, most of them are civil war insiders and foreign war laymen.

Yan Rong suddenly realized that his father-in-law was also a boss in Dongfu, and it seemed that he was also derelict in his duties, so he changed his words and said, "Xianggong, please continue to speak." ”

Han Qi's proposal made Zhao Zhen hesitate.

Chen Zhizhong's understanding is that Zhao Zhen is an important surname that thinks of Yanzhou.

Not only must he be able to fight, but also civil affairs and finance, which is beyond Zhao Zhen's ability.

At this time, Han Qi said again: "Although Liu Ping is brave and unyielding, what about his qualifications?" ”

Zhao Zhen has a good resume, but he is not as good as Liu Ping, Liu Ping is still an official that Kou Zhun is optimistic about, and a military general from Jinshi. So Zhao Zhen asked: "Then in your opinion, except for Fan Zhongyan, who is the most suitable." ”

"Fan Zhongyan is the most suitable, and then go to Zheng Lang, but the ministers in Hangzhou don't know what to do."

After speaking, Han Qi was silent and handed over the problem to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen convened the prime minister again to discuss.

Han Qi recommended Fan Zhongyan, but these bigwigs thought Zheng Lang was good. First, there is no partisanship, and second, there is a record of Wulongchuan.

There are not many enemies annihilated, compared to the sacrifice of tens of thousands of soldiers in the first month, hundreds of thousands of people were taken captive, although most people think that it is a good thing for these people to be taken away, but this record is nothing. Last year, when Di Qing and Xu Huaide faced tens of thousands of enemy troops, they also achieved brilliant results.

But some bigwigs still see the difference, one is that the time is short, from receiving the scout to reporting to the enemy's attack, only leaving Zheng Lang less than an hour to prepare.

The second is annihilation, almost annihilating and capturing nearly ninety percent of the other party's soldiers, since the founding of the Song Dynasty, in the face of the Khitans and the party, the Tubo people, rarely achieved such an annihilation rate.

Zheng Lang is a civil servant, loyal to the country and His Majesty, and has no fear.

Although he is young and has entered the two prefectures at a young age, he has the merits of Taiping Prefecture and Hangzhou, and he has the qualifications to preside over Yan Yanlu.

Fan Zhongyan, has he ever fought......

But what about Hangzhou?

At the beginning of the war, the money used on the front line was like flowing water, and Zheng Jiazi also asked the imperial court for money in Yanzhou.

It's nonsense, Zheng Lang is not an immortal, and he can't make money, and he can't make up for it, compared to the military expenses brought by the war, plus the terrain in the northwest, it can't make up for it.

Therefore, the status of Hangzhou is equally important.

All the bigwigs have calculated that if the copper mine is successful this year, the mine alone will be able to collect more than 5 million yuan of wealth for the imperial court, as well as tax income, and the wealth of those deed shares. Fu Bi only presided over the deed shares of Suining, sold them, and collected nearly one million yuan for the imperial court in the capital.

Zheng Jiazi also complained about selling less.

With this vast wealth and not, the difference will be severe. Do you want Zheng Lang to sit in Yanzhou to preside over Hangzhou affairs? O God!

If you want Zheng Lang to return to Hangzhou, you have to find someone to go to Yanzhou to replace Zheng Lang. If you want Zheng Lang to stay in Yanzhou, you have to find someone to go to Hangzhou to replace Zheng Lang's prefect.

So Zhang Shixun said: "How about letting Fu Bi go to Hangzhou?" ”

Zhao Zhen called Fu Bi over.

When Fu Bi heard this, he replied honestly: "There is nothing the minister can do. ”

Zheng Lang did not hide from him, and many plans were discussed with him.

First of all, he didn't understand overseas affairs at all. I also know that at the end of the year, Zheng Lang will sell the deed shares, which are partly for money and partly for land, which is very troublesome. And the sale of deed shares this time is to face the whole country and collect money for the imperial court.

Especially in the capital and Hebei, there are many powerful people, and some people will rely on power to oppress others, and they are not qualified to subdue everyone.

It seems to have merit, but in fact it may be hotter than the military in the northwest.

Unless Zheng Lang sells out the deed shares, the operation of the number of mines is properly arranged, just like he did in Taipingzhou, and it is almost the same as going to Hangzhou by himself. But he was afraid that Zhao Zhen would forcibly give him an order, and said: "The minister doesn't understand the matter of the mine and overseas at all. It is okay to let the minister go to Hangzhou, but the Taiping Prison and the City Shipping Division, the minister cannot manage. ”

What's the use of letting Fu Bi go!

So it was undecided.

However, the northwest could not ignore it, and ordered the envoys of the third class to have civil and military cadres, and allowed them to show themselves, apply the materials, and transfer the envoys to the various roads to raise the prison and visit the people who knew about the border affairs.

I can be literate and martial, Your Majesty, use me.

Okay, then you go to the governors and tell me, where Wen is and where Wu is, you do have the ability, and I will use you immediately.

This is the determination to release the imperial court to fight, don't take it seriously, can be civil and martial, how many people have there been since ancient times, when Zhuge Liang and Pei Xingjian and others are really cabbage?

Then Xue Wenzhong was executed, and Ji Yongzhang did not say that he escaped, and it was Xue Wenzhong who advocated retreating to Dunzhou. Since Lu Shouqin was beheaded, Xue Wenzhong also had to deal with it and was demoted to Guangnan Supervisor.

In front of the edict, all the people bravely went to the border to serve as officials and generals, and the military department tried to raise people, and decided to stay with a strategy, and the bow and horse were determined, and those who passed were immediately awarded border posts.

Then changed the name of the first year of Bao to Kangding, the original Fan Zhongyan degraded, not allowed Chinese and foreign overstepping of his duties, rich and bi, said food, so Xu Chinese and foreign ministers on the seal to discuss the gains and losses of the government, whether it is the common people, or officials, or foreigners, can go to the book to admonish.

Zhao Han Qi measured the Shaanxi people's power to strike the department and cut the grain, transferred the people to build the city, and ordered the prefectures to raise Ding Zhuang to help protect the ministers.

Xia Zhu is not stupid, and Han Qi is not stupid, so Han Qi asked for more archers.

The word archer is very clever, and an archer is an errand officer, not a soldier. Xia Zhu directly asked for the establishment of native soldiers, and what the imperial court was most afraid of was that the frontier would grow, and when the war came, the bigwigs in the northwest had the power to do so, and then there was a strong local army, what if it became An Lushan?

In fact, it was still a soldier, but if the word was changed, it was immediately approved by the imperial court.

Han Qi only implemented it after admonishing him, and Zheng Lang did not ask for the consent of the imperial court at all, and was already implementing it.

There is no one to speak, the special situation of Yanzhou, the long border of hundreds of miles, the emptiness of troops, that is a special environment, special treatment. Besides, Zheng Lang didn't want to stay in Yanzhou, he asked to go back to Hangzhou, and there were few taboos.

In short, several edicts are issued almost every day these days, and most of them are related to the northwest.

After explaining the situation, Chen Zhizhong asked: "Yan Rong, where do you think your husband will end up?" ”

Yan Rong was stunned when he heard this, and asked stupidly: "Could it be that there is no one in the imperial court except for Dr. Zheng?" ”

"Yes, but it hasn't been proven, and if you can, it's better. If you don't have the ability, you can use it again, what if you make Fan Yong's mistake again? ”

Yan Rong thought for a while and said, "I don't know either. ”

The teacher is certified, but the teacher cannot be divided into two.

"So you can go back and reply. This matter does not need to be asked of me, but of you, sir. ”

"Dr. Zheng?"

After Han Qi proposed, the imperial court dragged on for several days, and there was no decision, and in the end, it was inevitable to ask Zheng Xingzhi for his opinion. Also, you have to study hard, I'm probably not in the capital this year......"

"What's wrong?"

"In the Battle of Sanchuankou, both governments made major mistakes, but the northwest was not properly arranged, and the ministers of the two provinces have not been able to offer any good policies so far, and the emperor will inevitably remove some ministers, and the eastern government will bear the brunt......"

Chen Zhizhong is in the capital, and there is Zheng Lang as a teacher, there will be some people who sell a little face during the provincial examination, Chen Zhizhong is degraded, Zheng Lang is not in Hangzhou or Yanzhou, the whip is beyond his reach, Yan Rong can only rely on himself in the provincial examination, and said: "Go ahead." ”

Yan Rong returned to the inn and explained the situation, Jiang Xing'er said, "Okay, Xian'er, let's write a letter and let the officials come back." ”

"No, although it is a family letter, traveling thousands of miles, once people see it, it will inevitably impeach the official who is afraid of death and afraid of the thief, and the official personally stands on the battlefield in Sanchuankou to command, and the achievements he has established will be wasted."

"But."

"Xing'er, don't be afraid, the official still wants to come back in the letter, don't ask the official, as soon as you ask the official, the official will inevitably ask to go back to Hangzhou."

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the imperial court to send the imperial servant Chen Xun and the inner servant Wang Zi to Shaanxi to urge the state army to build the city. It is not repaired on the front line, but in the entire territory of Shaanxi.

It still works, and then Yuan Hao almost invaded Chang'an City, and finally retreated, there is no way to move forward, a city is connected to a city, the Xixia people are not good at attacking the city, and there is also the Tongguan moat, how can Yuan Hao hit Luoyang and Kaifeng?

Once the city is repaired, even if Yanzhou or the security army is lost, it will be a frontline erosion, but it will not affect the safety of the two capitals.

Then let them go to Yanzhou by the way to give an order, first, to give money and materials.

He was given 100,000 pieces of money, 10,000 pieces of cloth, some weapons, and food. Due to the transportation of weapons and food, it will take a long time to arrive, so the money and silk will be sent to Yanzhou first to solve Zheng Lang's urgent need.

At the same time, there is a decree and a decree of inquiry.

……

Zheng Lang spends every day in fear.

The Tanguts did not attack again, but from time to time there was news of scouts fighting.

Finally, Jinming Village and Qiaozi Valley Village were set up first, and these two villages are the most important places for traffic, so they will focus on repairing the two villages first. At least let the Song army have a place to stay in front.

Zheng Lang breathed a sigh of relief.

The establishment of the two villages is not as unsafe as before.

Then he conscripted 7,000 villagers, gave them weapons, and trained all day.

But it is not over, and it is necessary to recruit 3,000 soldiers, so that the Yanzhou area can barely have the strength to defend.

One after another, the people were moved to the south of the bus, and it was too dangerous to stay in the north of this defense line.

Fortunately, Zheng Lang has nearly six years of experience in presiding over the affairs of a state, otherwise it would be a mess to deal with so many things in such a short time.

It's already busy.

Suddenly, someone outside announced, "There is a woman who wants to see the pacification messenger." ”

"Woman?" Zheng Lang asked confusedly.

The guard said, "She said it was your old friend." ”

"Let her in."

A beautiful young woman was brought in by the soldiers.

Zheng Lang was even more stunned when he saw this young woman, and asked puzzledly: "Lou Yan, why did you get to Yanzhou, Gao Yanei?" ”

"The slave is separated from him."

What does it have to do with me that you are separated from him? If it weren't for Lou Yan coming to Yanzhou, Zheng Lang would have almost forgotten these two living treasures, and asked, "Then why did you come to Yanzhou?" ”

Lou Yan looked at Zheng Lang left and right, Zheng Lang let the left and right step back, and Lou Yan said, "Governor Zheng, the slave has a question for you." ”

"You ask."

"Did you really like me back in the day?"

"That's a child's thing, I'm young and ignorant, I can't count," Zheng Lang was a little displeased, he originally wanted to take revenge on Gao Yanei, but the higher he went, the higher his vision, Zheng Lang didn't want to move this thought. At this time, Hugh said that Gao Yanei, even if the Eight Sages King saw him, he could not be lazy. Therefore, the mentality is different, you are married to Gao Yanei, marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, why do you ask this frivolous question?

"The slave just wants to ask if Governor Zheng ever liked the slave when he was a teenager."

Zheng Lang was even more displeased, and said: "I liked you at that time, but you are young and ignorant." ”

"So, the slave is the first woman that Governor Zheng likes?"

Zheng Lang didn't answer, he didn't like this woman at all, but the original owner of this body, the first woman he liked was indeed this fanji.

A trace of sadness and relief suddenly appeared on Lou Yan's face, his expression was very complicated, and he said in a low voice: "If you can be liked by Governor Zheng, with the surname and identity of a slave, you will not be shocked to die." ”

"Lou Niangzi, what's going on."

"No, it's just that the slave saw the wrong person at the beginning, and the slave came to Yanzhou for two things, one is that he wants to become a nun."

"You want to be a nun?"

"Well, I was ignorant when I was young, but now I have experienced a lot, and I know that the so-called prosperity is a dream, and I want to enter the empty door ......"

Zheng Lang couldn't cry or laugh, and at the same time laughed and laughed. I didn't take it seriously in my heart, since I wanted to escape into the empty door, why was there still grease powder on my face, balsam sprinkled on my body, and even my clothes were incense.

"Why did you come to Yanzhou to become a monk?"

"At that time, the slave actually had no eyes, so I thought of Yanzhou, and used the suffering of the border to wash away the dust of the slave, and there was Governor Zheng in Yanzhou, and I made a wish to break the dust from the starting point."

Zheng Lang was silent.

Lou Yan said again: "Governor Zheng, you are a person who does great things, the Song Dynasty Wenchen and military generals don't know how many, you are a little worthless in the northwest, and the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, why put yourself in danger?" ”

"I came to the northwest just to have a look, mainly to find out the truth of the Battle of Sanchuankou, and after the imperial court arranges manpower, I will return to Hangzhou. But in the future, where I go, I have to obey the emperor's arrangement, what danger is there. Eat the king, be loyal to the king. ”

"Then ......" Lou opened his cigarette mouth and said goodbye.

Zheng Lang looked at her departing back and laughed in his heart. fell out with Gao Yanei, and actually found the official here. Do you want to pong your own "big tree"?

didn't care about her, and then the Yanzhou city wall was temporarily repaired, it was temporary, and if you wanted to be firm, not only Yanzhou City, but also Zhuzhai Gong had to be repaired one after another, and it would not end until summer. This is to temporarily spread out the line of defense.

The imperial court's envoy also arrived in Yanzhou.

Wang Zi issued an order, and first awarded Prince Zheng Lang a direct bachelor to the young master of Longtu Pavilion.

The young master of the crown prince and the guests of the prince are all part-time and honorable, and there are a series of official positions in the East Palace below, such as the rich prince Zhongyun. But its glory is not as good as the prince, the prince, the prince, the captain, the Taibao, and even less than the Taishi, the Taiwei, the Taibao. There are many more noble bachelors above the Longtu Pavilion Bachelors, not to mention the straight Bachelors.

Zheng Lang was finally young, and he said, "The minister is not acceptable. ”

Li Zi said: "Your Majesty already knew that you would not be accepted, let the minister bring you a word, you have merit or not, let other meritorious soldiers and ministers think?" Zigong refuses gold and Zilu accepts cattle, and Qing should hear it! ”

"The minister will accept the position of a straight bachelor, the position of a young master, and the minister still doesn't dare to accept it."

Li Zi doesn't care, he is only responsible for bringing the holy decree and money over, 100,000 yuan is still less, but it is better than nothing.

After Zheng Lang thanked Zhao Zhen, Li Zi said, "I also brought a decree here." ”

"The minister takes the order."

"Your Majesty said, Zheng Qing, since the Yuanyuan, the country has been peaceful for a long time, and there has never been a major war. Neither I, nor the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, have ever fought a war, since Yuan Hao has been reversed, Sanchuankou has lost, the court is quarrelling, and no one has even come up with a useful good strategy, what should I do? After Li Zi finished announcing this decree, he suddenly fell to the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty." ”

God knows if he's really crying or fake.

But Zheng Lang's eyes looked at the east, on the surface, Zhao Zhen had written edicts again and again during this time, but in fact, in the face of the upcoming war, Zhao Zhen was very scared and panicked in his heart. This is the real Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen's thin figure appeared again, Zheng Lang's eyes were a little moist, he helped Li Zi up, and said, "You told Your Majesty that I was also thinking of a way during this time." But there are three things I haven't thought about, and I will be in the middle of it! Passive defensiveness! Negotiate and go to peace! These three articles have not been resolved, even if Wei Qinghuo and his grandson Li Jing gather in our dynasty, the danger of Western Xia cannot be solved. ”

Staring at the east again, Zheng Lang silently thought in his heart, it is not difficult for Zhao Zhen to fight Western Xia, but are you ready?

It is these three national policies, as long as these three national policies are changed, it is not a dream to say that Western Xia and the sixteen states of Youyun will be recovered.
