Chapter 731: Heart

Hearing that Zhao Zhen changed from war to punishment, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief.!

Zhao Zhen said again: "Zheng Qing, you are most familiar with Western Xia, and after discussing with the prime ministers, hand over a piece of music into the palace." ”

"Oh," Zheng Lang had no choice but to reply.

In fact, Zhao Zhen saw that Zheng Lang was unhappy, afraid that Zheng Lang would pile up his hooves, many ministers tried all kinds of means for the sake of power, Zhao Zhen saw it, but he would not oppose it, this is a kind of motivation. Being indifferent to rights seems to be a good thing, but it may not be.

Zheng Lang is the latter, although Zhao Zhen is reassured, but it is so faint that he goes back to Zhengzhou to retire, and Zhao Zhen doesn't like it.

Let's use all kinds of affairs to tie him up first.

The ministers retreated, Zhao Zhen was angry and happy in bed, and he couldn't wait to fly to Tanzhou immediately and teach his daughter a hard lesson. But Zheng Lang is safe and sound, his daughter is safe and sound, and his heart is also relaxed.

The prime ministers came to the capital hall together.

Most people know, Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, Di Qing, Wang Deyong, Wang Yaochen, Liu Xin, Tian Guo, only Cheng Jian is not familiar with it.

From the analysis of the list alone, the two governments are now remarkable. Xifu Di Qing and Wang Deyong were both famous generals and familiar with military affairs, and Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi were both famous figures in later generations. Wang Yaochen and the four of them are also first-class officials, and they don't even enter the two mansions, and when it comes to governing the place, these four people are hidden above Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi.

Not really.

Although several people are good, there is a lack of a leading figure.

Originally, Wen Yanbo was good, but now it has changed, he is selfish and powerful, and he is not suitable to be the prime minister.

But fortunately, if it weren't for the Six Towers River incident, these prime ministers would have been barely competent.

Let's not talk about the Liuta River, Wen Yanbo asked: "Xingzhi, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

Zheng Lang knew the reason for Zhao Zhen's anger, but he couldn't say it, and said lightly: "Your Majesty is worried that Western Xia will be even more than Jiaozhi in the future." ”

"You can't use soldiers." Wen Yanbo said. I don't know why the emperor, who is peaceful by nature, suddenly had the idea of using soldiers, thinking that Zheng Lang said something in the middle, or had some arrangements.

"Brother Kuanfu, don't worry, I don't approve of the immediate use of troops. Hanchen, you can tell me about the situation of Xinxia in Chapter 731 of the West. ”

Di Qing frowned and said: "Zheng Xianggong, I have heard the news closely, after the Western Xia occupied Agancheng, it faintly continued to increase troops, which means the Niche Valley. ”

The occupation of Agancheng by Western Xia was last year, and Zheng Lang had known about it for a long time. Although Di Qing understands military affairs and seems to have played a role in the Privy Council, in fact, what can Di Qing play under the suppression of Wenchen? Zheng Lang said: "It was a mistake not to send troops to Agancheng at that time. ”

Right is right, wrong is wrong.

Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi were stunned.

Zheng Lang explained: "Over the years, Blind Felt has been closely associated with our dynasty, at least nominally, Agancheng is the territory of our dynasty, and Blind Felt is our minister. Western Xia sent troops, and it was reasonable for our dynasty to send troops to rescue each other. However, he did not send troops, which exposed the inner thoughts of our court, and did not regard the blind felt as a courtier, but only a joint relationship. In the future, no matter how much I repair the blind felt hair, the cracks exist. Moreover, the status and location of Agancheng are very important, and with its existence, it can be pointed at the two states of Lanhui at any time, cutting off the way between Western Xia and the Hexi Corridor, forcing Western Xia to enter Hexi from the Great Desert. However, what is the west of the river, they are all Tubo people or Uighurs in the Six Valleys, and they have always been dissatisfied with Western Xia. As soon as the road is broken, the Rokuya tribe and the Uighurs will inevitably raise the banner of rebellion again. This is an important piece that I have laid out before. ”

Although the Song Dynasty seized a large area of territory such as Huizhou in history, it was forcibly taken from the hands of Tubo, and it would not have a benign effect like Zheng Lang.

Then he glanced at Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi, and the chess pieces were ruined like this.

Wang Yaochen said: "You can take it back." ”

"It's late, and the city of Agan, after I have renovated it, has become very tall and strong. Hugh had to underestimate the Tangut people, and over the years forced the Khitan to make peace, and recaptured the city of Agan, when morale was high. The soldiers have been fighting for many years and are rich in combat experience. Our border has been stable for a long time, and many soldiers are not familiar with fighting. It is irrational to retake the city of Agan, you can take it, but you can't take it at this time. ”

"If the Tanguts take the Niche Valley, they can threaten the security of Weizhou from the west." Wang Deyong said.

The best defense in the northwest is Jingyuan Road, and in the north, Zheng Lang's original arrangements are almost to the point of perversion. Of course, it is also caused by the terrain in the north of Zhenrong Village, after Liupan Mountain, and further south, it is impossible to imagine that layout. However, the arrangement of the western wing was not very tight, and once the niche valley was obtained, the western wing would inevitably be exposed to the attacks of the Tanguts.

Zheng Lang shook his head and said: Wang Xianggong, if Agan City is lost, the gate of the Niche Valley will be opened, if you want to keep the Niche Valley from being lost, the sacrifice of our dynasty will be heavy, unless tens of thousands of troops are transferred to the west, it is too worthless. ”

Agancheng has become passive once it is lost.

This is the consequence of Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi's ignorance of military affairs, Zheng Lang didn't want to mention it, and said to Di Qing: "Hanchen, you will talk about the situation in the West again." ”

Di Qing made a detailed report, and Zheng Lang listened while looking at the big map.

He knows a lot about the Northwest.

When returning to Qixing Town from Huixi, Zheng Lang asked Wang Song a lot about the northwest. However, because of his identity, Wang Song did not know it comprehensively.

After Di Qing finished speaking, Zheng Lang didn't speak, bowed his head and meditated.

He didn't speak, and the others didn't dare to speak, daring to wipe Di Qing's face, not daring to wipe Zheng Lang's face. At least in three areas, one is water conservancy, the second is military, and the third is economic.

Zheng Lang thought for a long time and said, "Let's go." ”

"Put?" Wang Yaochen asked in surprise.

"Yes, put, what Yanguo said is not unreasonable, although he has no disagreement with our dynasty over the years, he has not openly sent troops to participate in the war, and he is related to the Khitan, it is the war between my dynasty and the Western Xia, and I have the idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. Anyway, the existing rifts, the heart can't be closed, it's better to let go, weaken part of the strength of Tubo. As soon as I let go, the blind felt will be invincible. And I wouldn't have thought that my dynasty would let go regardless of the danger of the west flank, and the shrine valley would inevitably not be guarded. To get the Niche Valley, there will be two ways to do it, the first is to deal with the Wuzang clan. The rivalry between the siblings has intensified. If you don't hide it and don't do it under the big victory, you won't have another chance in the future. Although the western flank is in danger and is not good for our dynasty, if there is no hidden Pang to kill the Wuzang clan, the interests of our dynasty will be greater. Next, there will be two ways to hide the false Pang Pang, the first is to harass our dynasty, and the second is to march into Hezhou, take advantage of the fragmentation of Tubo, defeat Tubo, and leap his martial arts above Yuan Hao, so that he can logically change the dynasty. ”

"It seems to be ......," Fu Bi muttered.

"Our dynasty must be strictly prepared in the northwest," Zheng Lang said, imagining that the northwest was peaceful and uneventful a few years ago, it is unlikely. He also said: "As for Tubo, if he didn't hide and want to attack Hezhou, he would only be greeted with a big defeat, and he still underestimated it. As long as this person is there, Tubo cannot be underestimated for a day, and it is fighting on the land of Tubo, and the time, place and people are all unfavorable to Western Xia. Unless this person dies, Tibet will gradually decay. ”

Everyone nodded.

That's what the insiders say.

The main Zheng Lang is a Wenchen, Di Qing has no golden fingers, so he can't say such far-sighted words, but he also said some words with military opinions, but who listens to him?

Analyze the possible general trend of the future in order to think about how to retaliate against Western Xia.

Zheng Lang continued: "The Western Xia sent troops to Agancheng, and sent assassins to commit murder against me, if we don't punish it, the Western Xia will be lighter than our dynasty, even if our dynasty doesn't want to fight, I'm afraid that war will come." On the other hand, if we are unprepared, we can have all kinds of defeats at the beginning of Qingli. Therefore, the initiative must be in the hands of our dynasty. ”

"What should I do?" Tian asked.

"First send an envoy to reprimand him, asking why he is committing violence against me, and why he is attacking the city of Agan. But put the murder in the front, and the Agan city in the back. The speed is as slow as possible, so that Wuzang Pang can't lose his position in the country, so that he can make a move on Wuzang's clan. If it is as I expected, after the Western Xia marched into the Shrine Valley, he sent an envoy to ask. At the same time, the northwest will be armed, and when the dispute between the brothers and sisters in Tibet is settled, the blockade will be discussed. This will be at least until next year, and the overall development of Jinghu South Road will be settled next year, and the generals can be pumped to the northwest. ”

There are also people who don't know that Zheng Lang has given up Kuixia Fourth Road, and they look at Zheng Lang strangely one by one, and they are not very easy to ask.

Zheng Lang didn't explain much, and glanced at Di Qing with his eyes, he was worried about Di Qing, just in time to arrange Di Qing. It's not your job to be a privy envoy, so let's go back to the northwest.

"Send another important minister who understands military affairs to lead the way, and force the Tanguts to turn the spearhead to Tibet. Once the Western Xia is defeated, in addition to the blockade and discussion, I will use some excuses to interrupt the year. to ruin the country's economy. After many years of fighting, although the morale is high, once the family is poor and the food and clothing are insufficient, the morale of the soldiers will be low day by day. Our dynasty is growing, and Liang Zuo is gradually growing up, and it is another dragon and tiger fight, and when the time comes, both sides will lose, and they can really launch a war against Western Xia. However, before that, it is necessary to maintain good relations with the Khitan, and see if there is a way to continue to instigate the Khitan to fight with the Western Xia and cut off their contacts. ”

"But the old queen mother of Khitan," Wen Yanbo shook his head.

"Don't worry, Xiao Yunjin's abnormality is beneficial to my dynasty, she was not good to her eldest son before, and now she is not good to her eldest grandson, support Yelu Chongyuan, there will be a big mess in Khitan."

After speaking, he left the capital hall.

In fact, it is a conservative approach, but considering the economy, last year Jinghu South Road did not use much money, the war between the two Cantons and Guangzhou, the war to support the war, generally maintained the expenditure, the imperial court slightly surplus, a Liuta River was used up again.

This year, when there was an accident in Liutahe and Jinghu South Road was spending money on a large scale, there was no money to start a war. Uncontrollable conservative strategy.

There is also a place where there is money and silk, banks, but the scale of the bank is to be expanded, and when the time comes, Ezhou officials once again ask to enlarge the scope of the bank. And the issuance of Jiaozi is also smaller, which cannot meet the needs of the market.

The bank has money and can no longer use it.

Leave the capital hall and return home. Sent someone to call Chongyi to the family and said to him, "Do you want to go to Jinghu South Road?" ”

"Yes," said the fellow, excited.

"Think, I'll tell Di Qing to let him transfer you to Jinghu South Road."

"Thank you, Zheng Xianggong." Fellows left happily. He is still young and doesn't know its significance, but whether it can be done depends on Zheng Ping's wishes, if he doesn't agree, Zheng Lang has several other "standby" candidates.

Then he came to Di Qing's house.

Di Qing was overjoyed, opened the middle door, and greeted the gate.

After sitting down, Zheng Lang asked, "Hanchen, how about coming to the Privy Council?" ”

"Not good," Di Qing replied honestly.

"But it's also a time to be the prime minister of Xifu."

Di Qing was happy.

"I'm talking about something else, the Six Towers River."

Di Qing was at a loss, the Liuta River was a matter of Dongfu, and it had nothing to do with him.

"Hanchen, I'm not optimistic about the prospects of the Liuta River. If nothing happens, an accident will cause many controversies and battles, on the one hand, the old ministers such as Jia Changchao and Chen Zhizhong, and on the other hand, the gentlemen such as Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo and Wang Yaochen. Jia Chen will use the Liuta River to attack Fuwen and the others, and if the Junzi Party wants to keep Fuwen and the others, they will definitely divert their attention. ”

Without analysis, Di Qing couldn't have dreamed of it, and after analysis, Di Qing's color changed.

"Remember, the torrent retreats bravely, and he is really heroic. Also, tomorrow the emperor will hold a big court meeting, and you will see a scene. ”

"See what?"

"Some people have impeached me."

"Why?"

"I returned to the capital without an edict, which was wrong in itself. It doesn't matter, but I'm going down to see the Liuta River, and if I veto the Liuta River, do you want to beat me up? So how do I do it, you see. ”

"How?"

"Look. If I really say it, please go to the northwest and guard the northwest gate for this country and Your Majesty. "To further resolve Di Qing's heart knot, these generals personally went into battle to kill the enemy, and there were many injuries on their bodies, once they couldn't think about it, all kinds of illnesses attacked, and they died quickly, there were Guo Zhen in front, Wang Zhonghei, and so on, all of them couldn't stand this breath, and they were sick and died. The same is true for Di Qing. Zhao Zhen found something to do for Zheng Lang, and Zheng Lang found something for Di Qing to do to divert his ideological baggage.

Di Qing was slightly unhappy.

Zheng Lang didn't persuade him again, let him think about it first, let him prepare in advance, and even if he had a knot in his heart at that time, it would be lighter.

Helpless, the national generals are not accepted, Di Qing is dead, no one can lead the army, and Guo Kui is not good, it is still early to wait for that person in Jiangxi to grow up.

The next day, Zheng Lang did not go to the early court, he was a foreign minister, and he couldn't go up, but he didn't leave and went to Zhongshu. If you want to see the Liuta River, you must look at the information of the Liuta River from Zhongshu Province, so that it will be more clear.

When the ministers entered the hall, Zhao Zhen sat on the dragon chair and said a few words, not much, and did not really recover.

It's a look, well, you can talk, you don't have to worry too much.

I did this at Zheng Lang's suggestion.

Of course, there will be no ministers to be true, Your Majesty, do you have a good head?

Several ministers began to impeach, in any case, Zheng Lang ignored the imperial court system this time, and hurried back to the capital is not a big loss, this case will bring all kinds of drawbacks.

But it is necessary to consider that Zheng Lang cares about the emperor first, although he is a little flattering, and secondly, he can be willing for the sake of the Liuta River.

Zhao Zhen was silent.

A court meeting dispersed, and Fu Bi quietly told Zheng Lang about the situation.

has nothing to do with Fu Bi, the friendship between the two continues, don't question it.

Zheng Lang didn't speak, and continued to look through the files related to the Liuta River, and when he was on duty, he asked for pen and ink, wrote a letter, and handed it to Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi. The emperor can't manage the government, and his rights are now handled by Wenfu and the others.

It's very simple, I did something wrong, no matter what the reason, it was wrong to rush back to the capital, so I took the initiative to invite myself to the college student of Hanlin Academy, Tongping Zhangshi and the position of the prince in charge of the country.

This is almost wiped to the end, and if you wipe it again, no one will be embarrassed to wipe it down, will it be possible to let Zheng Lang go to prison?

Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi were all stunned after reading it, Zheng Lang ignored their reactions, left the Chinese book, and looked through it in a day, it was almost over, and he had to go down tomorrow.

Fu Bi chased after him and said, "Xingzhi, why are you doing this? ”

Isn't that a slap in the face? It's just that there is a mistake, after all the dangers, it is not easy to be rescued, and there will be another demotion and demotion immediately, what do the people think, and what do the scholars think? must have thought that he and Wen Yanbo were jealous of Zheng Lang's exploits.

Zheng Lang stopped, turned his head to look at Fu Bi, and asked, "A person's heart is constantly growing and changing. In the past, Pang Alcohol was upright and outspoken, but later he was displaced, and his practice gradually became conservative after he arrived in the northwest. But under his reflection, it is clear that Fan Xiwen's new deal failed, but he is old and spicy, and he has a faint generation of fame and demeanor. On the contrary, Zhizhong was also cautious in the past, but he was demoted several times, but he couldn't see this kind of cautiousness anymore. It's a change of heart. During the celebration of the new policy, although you are honest and outspoken, there are many frizzy drawbacks in admonition. After some grinding, it has become more and more stable, which is what I respect. Stability is a good thing, especially as the prime minister, you don't have to be steady, but there are two directions to be steady. The first is to be steady for the sake of rights, not to do nothing, and to learn from your Taishan. The second steadiness is only for the matter, not for the right, continue to maintain your original pure heart, and then add a long-term vision, overall situation and stability. You have changed, a heart has changed, has you changed to the first stability, or to the second stability? ”

Compared with other people who have degenerated, Fubi also tends to be conservative. But it's a little better, which is why Zheng Lang has valued Fu Bi since he was young. Instead of valuing Fu Bi's youth, his anger was also very heavy at that time, Zheng Lang didn't like it, and it was his middle and late years that he valued.

What can't be explained to Han Qi and Wen Yanbo works for Fu Bi.

These words were like an initiation, and Fu Bi was stunned on the spot.

After most of the day, he said: "Xingzhi, I know how to do it." But you don't have to write this resignation either. ”

Zheng Lang looked at the southern sky blankly and said, "Brother Yanguo, I didn't write for the impeachment of a few ministers. I made a mistake, and I can't give up. ”

Where did Fu Bi think that he had a misunderstanding, thinking that Zheng Lang was saying that if he made a mistake, it would be a mistake, and it was irrelevant whether Yanchen was impeached or not. He was still very opposed, saying: "No one is perfect, who can be without mistakes?" In this way, if I make a slight mistake, I will be demoted, even if I don't care about the position of prime minister, who will be the prime minister in the future? ”

Wouldn't it be too easy to find the fault? But if the prime minister changes in a few months, the country will be very bad.

"Brother Yanguo, I am at fault, I am very wrong, and it has nothing to do with whether I can return to the capital or not," Zheng Lang said, and after speaking, he left the dazed Fu Bi to leave.

ps: Everyone, don't argue about whether the protagonist's approach is evil, this pit has been buried intermittently since the tide, and it has only been put away now, which is to pave the way for the future. The protagonist is a near-perfect person, but doesn't want him to be a saint. Zhao Shu and Zhao Ji may not allow a saint to be a companion. This deficiency will be very, very important, the specific severity, please think about it again, a defective minister, a capable minister who has a bond with the clan, and a perfect saint who can be civil and martial, what will be the severity? At the same time, it also leaves a suspense for the story, otherwise it would be too boring!!
