Chapter 581: Emperor's Heart

The ministers also looked at a few big guys in the book.

If it is analyzed logically, the handling of Zhongshu has not done anything wrong. It is not embezzlement of public money, although Jia Changchao used this to deal with Yin Zhu, but Zheng Lang returned, and the public money had little effect. Moreover, at that time, Fulin Road was facing the attack of more than 100,000 Western Xia soldiers, so it was desirable to do so.

What Zhang Kang did in Daizhou is a little unclear, but it can still be said that the Khitan attacked Western Xia, and the Song Dynasty did not figure it out, and there were many discussions, and some workarounds were made to gather the hearts of soldiers in preparation for war. Moreover, he secretly participated in the Battle of the River Meander.

The most inexplicable thing is Xia Zhu's impeachment.

Weizhou.

Maybe future generations can't imagine it, isn't it just that the three divisions gave some of the reward items in the southern suburbs of the imperial court directly to the soldiers? Wouldn't it be nice to reduce the grumbling of the soldiers?

But that's what went wrong.

Weizhou is not only Weizhou, there are three armies and three states of the people, there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers, as well as the city, as well as the self-cultivated wasteland, that is, money, soldiers and food. Zhang Kang's identity is unknown, half of it is a military general. Ignoring the imperial court system, what do you do to gather the hearts of soldiers?

At the beginning, Jia Changchao also authorized several royal servants to use Fu Bi and Du Yan to settle the people, saying that they had the best intentions to win over the people, and almost demoted Fu Du and Du again. That is still a little unreasonable, Zhang Kang's practice is precisely the most taboo place in the Song Dynasty.

It can be all straight, but it can be reported in advance and allowed by the imperial court to be straight.

is this seemingly ridiculous reason, Xia Zhu impeached Zhang Kang, but Zheng Lang couldn't defend him.

Now it's even worse.

Where is Shouzhou, when Zheng Lang checked the hidden field. In the deliberately selected area, Zhang Kang is Zheng Lang's close subordinate, and it is conceivable that he went to Shouzhou.

Now it's a big problem. Zheng Lang does not distinguish Zhang Kang, and it will be very difficult for Zhang Kang to go to Shouzhou. If you don't get it right, many things will happen. Zhang Kang is Zheng Lang's cronies. doesn't distinguish for him, who will do things for Zheng Lang in the future? For Zhang Kang, Zhang Kang did something wrong, several ministers came out to fight together, it is possible that the Shuiluocheng incident will be staged again, Zheng Lang will not only not be able to enter the Eastern Mansion, but may be demoted from the court.

But that's not the problem.

Zhang Kang's practice was certainly contrary to the system, and in the Song Dynasty, it was still an era when the rule of one person was greater than the legal system. Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha. It's okay for Zhang Kang to warn him, there is no need to set up this embarrassing bureau and let Zheng Lang choose.

Zheng Lang's eyes were staring at Chen Zhizhong and Xia La.

Chen Zhizhong shook his head under Zheng Lang's gaze.

He is quite similar to Zheng Lang, he is self-appreciative and never makes friends, so he has deep roots in the court. is a veritable prime minister, competing with Xia Zhu, but at a disadvantage.

Yes, it has nothing to do with me.

Zheng Lang's eyes turned to Xia Zhu again.

Xia Zhu smiled calmly, what are you doing. Xingzhi, Zhang Kang is just a military general, you won't fight with me.

Wang Yiyong and Song Zhen lowered their heads and twisted their eyebrows. Sitting in this position, none of them is simple, when the real Wang Yiyong is playing soy sauce, if so, it is impossible to sit in this position for so long, how many prime ministers have Xifu changed in recent years? This is a wise and foolish character, and he also thinks of Zheng Lang's difficult situation.

Pang Ji and Wen Yanbo were thinking deeply, and they might not have thought of a solution to it, but this was a dispute between Xia and Zheng, and there was no need for them to get involved.

Zheng Lang turned to Zhao Zhen again.

This is also a strange place, why did the emperor pass it?

Zhao Zhen was also watching him, but the expression in his eyes was very calm. Yes, it's calm. Zheng Lang suddenly realized in his heart, could this be the so-called imperial heart? Suddenly, he smiled and lowered his head silently. It's not to belittle Zhang Kang Zhishouzhou, I acquiesced.

Xia Zhu was puzzled at first, but after a while, his face became very embarrassed.

Scattered Dynasty.

Zhang Fangping quietly followed and asked, "Xingzhi, why don't you speak for Zhang Kang?" ”…,

It's enough to degrade Cizhou, why bother to get Shouzhou?

"Why do you want to speak for Zhang Kang?" Zheng Lang asked rhetorically.

Zhang Fangping was stunned, he couldn't say that Zhang Kang was your descendant, could it be that you watched him being degraded again and again?

Zheng Lang whispered: "I don't say it's for a reason, do you see Xia Zhu's face?" ”

"I don't understand."

Zhang Fangping didn't understand, and Zheng Lang didn't explain. However, this incident is of great significance, which means that Xia Zhu not only fought with Chen Zhizhong, but also challenged Zheng Lang. All kinds of gossip also reached Cui Xian's ears, and Cui Xian asked complainingly: "Official, why does Xia Zhu want to deal with you?" ”

I don't understand, my husband and Xia Zhu have no grievances, and when Xia Zhu was in the most difficult time, her husband still supported Xia Zhu and argued for him. If the rumor goes out, it will make Ouyang Xiu and the others laugh off their big teeth, her husband is doing stupid things and raising tigers.

"He's worried about me entering the East Mansion."

Cui Xian understands that Xia Zhu and Chen Zhizhong are fighting for the prime minister. As soon as the husband went to Dongfu, whether it was Xia Zhu or Chen Zhizhong, he became a mussel and a sandpiper, and the husband took advantage of the fisherman. So the husband was involved, and it became a chaotic situation. But he thought of another thing and asked, "Why did the emperor also agree?" ”

"Xian'er, this is the heart of the emperor."

"Imperial Heart?"

"I am different from Lu Yijian, you look at the court ministers, Xia Zhu and I are famous for him, Chen Zhi has Yan Rong's connection, Pang Ji and Wen Yanbo have served as officials in the northwest, and they both belong to the faction of important ministers in the northwest, Wang Yiyong has no quarrel with the world, Song Zhen, although because of Bao Zheng's impeachment of Wang Kui, I said it briefly, but it can be quickly swept over, saving face for the big Song and Xiao Song, and I still have a little friendship with the big Song Dynasty, and I won't be disgusted with me because I said it. Up and down and in harmony. I have prestige in the military and a high reputation among the people. I'm in the Privy Council, and it doesn't matter. went to Zhongshu, such a prime minister, who did not learn Fan Xiwen, but was even better than Fan Xiwen. As a man......

"Concubine understands, Your Majesty wants to transfer you into the middle book."

"I don't know, but Your Majesty must be a little disappointed in the dispute between the two sides."

"Officials will do things in the future, and there will be people who will hinder ......"

"This is a must, if it is a good policy, Your Majesty will cooperate, if there is any doubt, Your Majesty will tacitly ignore this constraint, and everything must be in Your Majesty's control. It's a test and a sign. ”

In fact, the process is very simple. Xifu is quiet, there is no dispute, at least what should be done. All can be implemented. It is a companion, which cannot be described as a political achievement, but at least compared to Dongfu. It's a world of difference. Xia Zhu and Chen Zhizhong are fighting each other, not for the prime minister, and the two tigers are incompatible. His voluntary resignation as prime minister does not mean that he will not serve as prime minister in the future. The age and qualifications are increasing day by day, and the two governments are more qualified to serve as prime ministers.

Therefore, Xia Zhu was arguing with Chen Zhizhong, and he was also secretly watching himself. It just so happened that the transfer made Bao Zheng go down, and no one else would say it. all know that Zhang Kang is his own person. But Bao Zheng is Qingtian, although he is kind to him, but there is a clear distinction between public and private, Zhang Kang is wrong if he does wrong, and he mentions it to the court.

Xia Zhu saw the opportunity and took advantage of the situation to set up a delicate game and wait for him to jump down. As for Chen Zhizhong, he shook his head. He did not participate, but tacitly observed the development of the whole process, otherwise the book would not have been passed, and in the internal friction, Xia Zhu's proposal would not have passed.

to Zhao Zhen's hands. Zhao Zhen also had some small thoughts, which is what Zheng Lang said about the emperor's heart. It's not that Zhao Zhen doesn't trust himself, on the contrary, he trusts him more. If you don't have a political enemy, working together may not be good for you, and you may harm yourself. Even if it is good for himself, it will set a bad example for future generations. He is a loyal minister, what if future generations also learn from Zhao Zhen and use himself and use a Li Linfu-style minister? Taking advantage of the situation to expand the contradiction between himself and Xia Zhu, this is not to split the court, but to open a gap in himself, with this gap, Zhao Zhen can grasp the initiative. Give Zhang Kang a small beating as well, otherwise other border generals may learn from Zhang Kang, and there may be a bad trend. …,

The idea seems to be right.

Zheng Lang acquiesced, but did not agree.

Once you are in charge of the Chinese book, you must carry out some reforms, which requires a harmonious atmosphere, and the reform can be carried out smoothly. If there are many people who are holding themselves in check, the reform will not be able to proceed smoothly.

Even if he didn't have himself, Cai Jing was still produced in history.

But Zheng Lang can't say it to Zhao Zhen, you can trust me, hand over all the national affairs to me, and let all the ministers cooperate with me in order to govern the country well. Then it's better to say to Zhao Zhen, you move your seat and let me do it.

Cui Xian also gradually figured out this truth, and said: "Official, then why don't you propose to let Zhang Kang change places?" ”

Staying in Shouzhou, that group of heroes did not dare to deal with Zheng Lang, but they had the courage to deal with Zhang Kang. After staying for a long time, there will be many contradictions, and Zhang Kang's end will be even worse. Zheng Lang said: "It's okay. ”

What about Zhang Kang's decentralization to Shouzhou, he will have the opportunity to let Zhang Kang return to the throne in a few months. The more depressed you are, the more qualified you are to be in the upper position!

But Zhao Zhen was depressed in the palace and couldn't figure it out, could it be that this Zheng Xingzhi had misunderstood? Why not a sound?

It was not only Zhao Zhen who was depressed, but also Xia Zhu, Zheng Lang was silent, and he made it for most of the day, becoming a clown who jumped off the beam. Could it be that Zheng Lang wants to lose the car and protect the handsome, and fight himself out through a small Zhang Kang?

The ministers below are also watching the development of this matter.

I don't know what will happen in the end, but the trees don't move the wind, the flags don't move the wind, and it is impossible for Xifu to be quiet this time.

It happened that Lu Xianggao's performance was folded to the capital.

What a great opportunity this is, Xia Zhu said: "Your Majesty, you should punish Wang Anshi severely." ”

Zheng Lang, Zhang Kang, you dare to throw away the car to protect the handsome, do your students dare to throw it away!

Zhao Zhen also looked at this fold suspiciously, as well as a large number of account books attached, openly disobeying the imperial decree, raising the price of grain, and accepting so many huge bribes, it is okay to kill the head. But he had a deep memory of Zheng Lang's students, and he would never be able to do such a thing, so he looked at Zheng Lang and asked, "Zheng Qing, how did that Wang Anshi do these things?" ”

Zheng Lang didn't answer, and asked Xia Zhu: "Why punish Wang Anshi heavily?" ”

"Why don't you punish Wang Anshi severely!"

Zheng Lang said sarcastically: "Xia Xianggong, the treasury of Qingli was empty in the third year, the country wanted money and no money, and there was no food. Although this year's disaster is serious, it is far less than the disaster four years ago, the state wants money and money, grain and food, and there is a labor relief method to resettle the victims, but everywhere there is news of people starving to death, don't you think Dongfu is derelict in its duty? ”

"Zheng Lang, although there are starvations, there are no rogues!"

Is there no rebel army? Zheng Lang wanted to laugh in his heart, it was there immediately, and it was far better than the scale of Zhang Hai and Guo Miaoshan's rebel army. But Zheng Lang didn't say it, and when the time came, the old accounts and the new accounts would be settled. said to Zhao Zhen: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, at least the two Zhejiang grain courts don't have to worry." ”

"Zheng Qing, why do you say this."

"Your Majesty, it won't be long before Governor Lu will play again and explain the reason." Zheng Lang still didn't answer, and then stared at the Dongfu and asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, you are in a high position in the Dongfu, but you are not as good as a small magistrate, don't you make the people of the world forgetful!"
