Chapter 729: Cowardice (Part II)

Ask for a fan

Cui Xian said again: "The emperor is seriously ill.? Come on,.!" At this time, it has reached the end of the first month, but there is a slight time lag when the news reaches Tanzhou, and it is only to Tanzhou that the news is only what happened in the capital before the tenth day of the first month.

This is even more of a nuisance.

The emperor's life and death are unknown, does Zheng Lang dare to leave Zhao Niannu in Tanzhou? did an ugly thing for himself, but he didn't let the princess fulfill her filial piety and look for death. Send it back, even the Da Luo Immortal can't hide it.

"The emperor is seriously ill?"

"yes."

"It's okay," Zheng Lang said.

History has been changing, and in the history of 729 chapters of cowardice (II) Zhou Xin, as a transshipment envoy to Hebei, saw the overhaul of the Liuta River, and made several impeachment attempts in a row, saying that the Liuta River could not be repaired and that there would be a big problem. But Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi didn't listen. But now, Zhou Xin is on Guangnan West Road, he just thinks of Liuta River, people are frivolous, they are not within the scope of his duties, and they will not be impeached.

However, the weather was very cold this year, and in the second half of the first month, there was a heavy rain and snow in the capital, which definitely had an impact on Zhao Zhen's body. So you may get sick, but you will get through it eventually. Zheng Lang thought of a countermeasure.

And he said, "Let's go." ”

took Cui Xian to another small inn.

It was Zheng Lang who sent someone to make an arrangement in advance to settle Zhao Niannu first, and there was no complete solution to this matter for the time being, but he couldn't even hide his wife. Sooner or later, you have to face it.

After meeting, Cui Xian looked at Zhao Niannu with a complicated expression, bent slightly, and said, "I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Zhao Niannu straightened Cui Xian's body in panic, how to say, Cui Xian is the eldest in this family, and then stood on the side and pinched the corners of his clothes uneasily, not daring to look at Cui Xian, just peeking at Zheng Lang. Zheng Lang just gestured to her not to be nervous.

Cui Xian saluted again, and then sat down.

First of all, it was not she who said, but Zheng Lang said that Chapter 729 was cowardly (II).

Zheng Lang said to Zhao Niannu: "Your Highness, Your Majesty fell seriously on Chinese New Year's Eve last year, and the barefoot court prayed to heaven, so he fell ill. ”

"Father!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, but I heard that Your Majesty's condition has improved."

"Is it really good?"

"It's okay, but you can't go back in this situation now, you write a letter immediately, and I will go to Beijing to explain the situation to Your Majesty."

"Revenge on my father's snoring ......"

"No, no."

Zhao Niannu's face was worried, shy, and nervous.

"Don't worry, pity the parents of the world, your father has been worrying about you and won't blame you."

"Your Highness, what you have to do now is to wait for the news of the official with peace of mind" Cui Xian said and looked at Zhao Niannu's belly, the Zheng family has no queen, no matter which person is pregnant for the Zheng family, it is good news, if you can get pregnant, you will have a chance of offspring, although the object of pregnancy is not easy to do. Now we must let Zhao Niannu feel at ease, otherwise if the fetus is moved, both mother and child will be in danger, and it will be even more difficult for the husband to explain at that time.

"Zheng Xianggong, what are you going to do?"

"Don't worry, if your father blames the minister, the minister will settle accounts with your father and see if he can make the blame." Zheng Lang said a little lazy, but it wasn't that simple.

"Yes" Zhao Niannu nodded, lowered his head again, and didn't dare to look at Cui Xian.

Cui Xian clapped her hands, Zhao Niannu's matter is very complicated, and it won't be solved for a while, she is here to solve the problem of Wu Yi's family, looking at Wu Yi's beautiful appearance, she is a little tasteful, Wu Yi's is not afraid, and she smiled and looked at Cui Xian-for-tat.

Cui Xian said: "I haven't moved the queen, there is a rule, you can't move the idea of marriage." ”

"Cui Niangzi, I have never moved."

"Also, immediately you go to Tanzhou, find a quieter mansion, buy it in your name, and arrange Her Royal Highness the princess to live in."

"Why, I don't owe Zheng Xianggong, even if he didn't transfer us before, he just wanted to use my identity to deal with the Tangut people in the future, and take what they need, I can't be regarded as owing Zheng Xianggong. And now that I am alone and cooperate with the officers and soldiers to rescue Zheng Xianggong, it should be Zheng Xianggong's concubine. Zheng Xianggong, don't you say? ”

Zheng Lang didn't answer at all, and said to Zhao Niannu: "Write a letter quickly." ”

I have to go back immediately and report to Zhao Zhen that I am safe, and there is one more thing, for this matter, Zheng Lang also plans to return to Beijing during the Spring Festival, Liutahe. It seems to remember that in history, the imperial court did not spend 10 million yuan to repair the Liuta River, but now the cost of the court is nearly 20 million.

Part of it is that the state has a little more money to treat the people well, and part of it is the expansion of the scale of the project.

This expansion is what Zheng Lang is most worried about, and he can't say why he is specific, so he must go and inspect it in person.

Zhao Niannu wrote a letter.

After the letter was written, it was handed to Zheng Lang and said, "You must reply to the letter." ”

"I'll deliver it with my fast feet."

Go out with the letter and gather all the officials and soldiers together, and this departure will take at least more than a month, and everything must be arranged. In the past, because of his disappearance, the officials and soldiers lost some of their measures and made some wrong decisions, which must be corrected.

But when they heard that Zheng Lang was going back, most of the officials were suspicious.

When Zheng Lang went back, he did not receive the edict and returned to the capital, which violated the system. Only Zhang Kang knew in his heart that there were some things that could only be returned by Zheng Lang, and said to his face that no letter could reach the inside story. Zheng Lang looked at everyone, if he did this, he would be impeached, and it was possible for the six ministers to say that they were flattering, and they didn't care. After this incident, all the careers became floating clouds. Go with the flow.

With Zhao Niannu's letter in his arms, he went north with his guards.

The battle in the capital begins.

Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo's approach, Zheng Lang does not approve or oppose it.

It's not right to say they're doing wrong, and it's just as wrong to do it. On the surface, it seems to be for the safety of the country's society, and the history books are also recorded and evaluated in this way, but who is the history book that cultivates? Literati. But Zhao Zhen really has something, is there really no one in the East Palace? Zhao Zongshi is on top. With the current decentralization of power in the Song Dynasty, who can raise troops to support another clan's children and start a civil war? There is only one person, himself, but he is still in the cave.

In fact, it is the rights that are at stake.

The right of the doctor! Let the scholars and doctors be able to intervene in the transmission of the imperial throne when they are critical, so as not to cause the eunuchs of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the rebellion of the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty.

But there are so many rights, either scholars, emperors, relatives, eunuchs, clansmen.

In fact, in the Northern Song Dynasty, whether it was a relative, a eunuch or a clan, the rights were almost negligible, and the distribution of rights was still between the emperor and the scholars. If the emperor has more power, then it is a dictatorship centralism, and if the scholars have more power, a kind of pseudo-democracy system of supervision will be formed.

Not necessarily the latter is good, the former is often the emperor is clear, a country is peaceful, the emperor is corrupt, and the country can quickly collapse. But it is very efficient, so the most prominent era of Chinese cultural and martial arts is when the emperor is in power, such as Li Longji, Zhu Di, and Kangxi in the early stage.

The latter's seemingly democratic will also hinder the country's decline when there is a bad emperor, and it can form multiple constraints, such as the party struggle in the Song Dynasty and the Donglin Party in the Ming Dynasty. The work efficiency is low, the policy is repeated, and the country will not perish for a while and a half, but it will not be able to become stronger.

So what kind of system is good, Zheng Lang really doesn't have the ability to come up with it.

However, during this time, the eunuchs in the harem made Fuwen and the others abuse.

For some, it's opportunity. It happened that Zhao Zhen was seriously ill, so he made an appointment with some chamberlains to fight back against Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo.

Jia Changchao is considered a big man, and after hearing about it, the chamberlain is very happy. Wu Jilong came forward, found the two Si Tianguan, and had a conversation, which moved the two Si Tianguan to their hearts.

Zhao Zhen was still lying on the bed, and the two governments had to solve all the affairs of the country by themselves.

Just as the ministers of the two provinces gathered to discuss some difficult government affairs, the two Si Tian Palaces came to the outside of the palace and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the country should not cross the river in the north, which leads to the lack of peace in the Holy Communion. ”

Wen Yanbo walked out and looked at the two Si Tianguan.

For a while, I couldn't figure out what they were talking about, just a reprimand, or something else? The former is possible, the ministers of the Song Dynasty don't like to talk nonsense too much, and now that the emperor is suddenly seriously ill, it is inevitable that some ministers will gossip. The latter is also likely, a six-tower river, which can affect the interests of many parties.

didn't think clearly, so he stared at the two Si Tianguan, looking at Wen Yanbo's eyes, the two Si Tianguan didn't dare to speak anymore and retreated in defeat.

The matter has been revealed for the time being.

Wu Jilong found these two people again, and reprimanded, what are you afraid of, what do you have to say, all our inner palace attendants are behind you two.

A few days after the two of them dispersed, they said again that it was not appropriate to open the Liuta River, and the emperor could not manage the government, and the state affairs must be handed over to the queen to listen to the government.

This statement is a big problem, and the implication is that Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo want to usurp the country.

Wen Yanbo finally reacted, and he immediately surfaced a clue, the distribution of the interests of the Liuta River, the various bigwigs, himself and Fu Bi, Chen Zhizhong and Jia Changchao, Jia Changchao has been a waiter for many years, and has a tacit relationship with the eunuchs, and then the emperor fell ill, and he did not make an accident in the country and offended all the eunuchs.

Understand the process, it is too easy to deal with the two Si Tianguan, and then think about countermeasures.

Wen Yanbo hasn't made a move yet, Shi Zhicong came over, with a decree from Empress Cao, now that the emperor is gradually recovering, for the sake of the country, please ask the ministers of the two provinces to get out of the inner palace.

It can be said that in the past, the emperor's life and death were unknown, and it was desirable to visit the palace from time to time, but now although the emperor can't speak, there will be no danger to his life.

Poor palace maids in the inner palace who are difficult to see men, the sky is talking about the demeanor of these prime ministers, and the spring mood is shaking.

The most tempting thing for the inner palace maid is Di Qing, who is only in his forties, handsome, and I don't know how many huā idiots he has attracted. But Empress Cao knew that Zhao Zhen was protecting Di Qing, although she was not pleased, and at the same time, for the face of the palace, she did not say it.

Moreover, the queen is the mother of a country, at least nominally all ministers are the queen's retainers, and now the emperor cannot speak, and the queen can speak on behalf of the emperor to some extent.

The two things happened one after another, and Wen Yanbo's heart became brighter, and he didn't speak at that time, nodding to Shi Zhicong. Shi Zhicong left, Wen Yanbo finally came up with a solution, his face was happy, summoned the two, and asked, "Do you still have anything to say?" ”

"Yes," replied the two of them.

Wen Yanbo suddenly said in a cold voice: "Astronomical variation is your responsibility, but when will the imperial court give you the right to interfere in national affairs, you should be punished for the crime!" ”

The legs of the two of them were weak, and at a very moment, it was impossible to say that the Zhu clan could kill the two of them, and none of them had any, and retreated in fear.

The others said angrily together: "Xianggong Wen, why don't you behead them?" ”

Originally, the country was in turmoil, and these two people couldn't talk about the heavens and the earth at every turn, and the gossip confused the public, which brought great trouble to everyone. If you kill it, you will kill it.

Wen Yanbo said: "The cut is too urgent, and Yu Zhonggong is uneasy. ”

Everyone is good, you know, this middle palace is not a harem, but Queen Cao, just now she also sent Shi Zhicong to take power, and now she is beheading two officials who propose to bring power to Si Tian, what does the queen think.

Then let the two Si Tian go to the Liuta River to inspect its location, just frightened, what direction to see? All will. Wu Jilong objected, and Wen Yanbo summoned the three of them again and said: "You didn't dare to speak up, but after doing this, you want to corrupt the country, who taught you to do this?" ”

I dare to answer.

Wen Yanbo patted the two Si Tianguan, straightened their hats for them, and said, "The hat is crooked, and this official is correcting it for you." ”

The two of them felt a chill in their hearts.

"Go quickly, I still want to wait for you to reply."

When the two Si Tianguan arrived at the Liuta River, they didn't see anything, and wrote a recital back, saying that the location of the Liuta River was in the northeast of the capital, not in the north, and it had nothing to do with the emperor's illness. It's even more nonsense, don't look at the map to know that Puyang is in the northeast of Kaifeng.

But child's play worked.

Jia Changchao doesn't care, it's just the first round, and he will continue to come.

Among the whole thing, the saddest thing was Queen Cao, Zhao Zhen went crazy and shouted that she wanted to harm herself, at this time she needed to avoid and avoid, but let a few eunuchs take out a gun to call. Because Zhao Zhen was even more displeased in her heart, and some scholars and doctors thought that she also wanted to learn from Liu E, and was full of desire and ambition for power, so she formed a bad seed......

Then came the news that Zheng Lang had been rescued.

There are happy people and unhappy people.

The problem is not this, but that Zheng Lang did not ask for instructions, so he took the guards and hurriedly went north to return to Beijing to report his duties. violated, and he was locked up for more than 70 days, and Jinghu South Road was also a mess.

At this time, if you don't take care of everything on Jinghu South Road, what will Zheng Lang do when he returns to Beijing?

Speculating together, all parties took the initiative to stop.

Seeing the tall city walls of Tokyo from afar, Zheng Hao grinned and said, "Zheng Xianggong, I'm back in the capital again." ”

"Don't be too happy, we'll only stay for a few days, you can reunite with your family, you've worked hard behind me in the past few years."

"It's okay, but Zheng Langgong, there is a sentence that his subordinates should not say?"

"Sincerity"

"When does Zheng Xianggong plan to return to Beijing?" Zheng Huang does not refer to returning to Beijing to take up his post, but refers to returning to Beijing to serve as an official in Beijing.

Zheng Lang was silent.

The group hurried to the city gate, and some of the common people who were about to enter the city had already seen them, and one of them actually recognized them and shouted: "He is Zheng Xianggong."

Hearing that it was Zheng Lang, it caused a cheer.

Zheng Langchong arched his hand and didn't say much, at this moment, he actually felt timid. It's not that it's close to home, but it's close to Zhao Zhen's cowardice, this thing is done!

Or come according to the inkstone, first report to the Chinese book.

Fu Bi said in a low voice: "Zheng Xianggong, why are you in such a hurry to return to Beijing?" ”

If you want to go back to the capital, you can write a note, and the Chinese book will issue another order, and Zheng Lang can return to Beijing. Zheng Lang said: "I won't tell you, I know that I will be impeached when I return to Beijing this time, but after Jinghu South Road is properly managed, I also plan to return to Zhengzhou." I've been tired for the past few years. ”

"Xingzhi, how can you say this sentence well?" Wen Yanbo was dumbfounded.

Zheng Lang did not explain! said: "The reason why I am in a hurry is because of one thing. If I hadn't been kidnapped by the Tangut people last year, I would have planned to return to Beijing to take up my post. If this happens, it will be delayed, and if I don't come back, it may be too late. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Six Towers River."

"Six Towers?" Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo asked rhetorically at the same time.

"It's the Liuta River, don't worry, I'm only right about things, not for you, and I won't have the idea of fighting for power and profit."

"No, what's wrong with the Six Towers?"

"Yanguo, I don't know if there is a problem, but after seeing the topography of the Liuta River in my heart, I am very worried, and it is still too late to see it. Otherwise, it will happen and it will be too late to regret it. Since last winter, the weather has been very cold, with a lot of rain and snow, and this year the rain is still there, and the water of the Yellow River is bound to be flooded. If you don't look at it, I'm not at ease, how is the Liuta River project now? ”

"It's almost fixed."

"So fast" Zheng Lang was speechless, it was all caused by a lot of money, if there was not much money, the project would not be so big, and it would not be so fast.

"If the project is not completed, the people will have to spring plough and produce."

"Yanguo, you are all sympathetic to the people." Zheng Lang shook his head and smiled bitterly. He asked again, "How is the emperor?" ”

"Your Majesty is still not doing well in passing the dangerous period, but Bao Zheng heard that His Majesty was sick, and sent a special envoy from Chizhou to send Chizhou's precious medicinal herb Stone Calamus, which is very curative and has made His Majesty gradually recover." Wen Yanbo replied.

Zheng Lang's forehead, some are changing, some are not changing, when he came, Zheng Lang deliberately asked Bao Zheng's whereabouts, and only relieved his heart after hearing that he was in Chizhou.

Because I discussed the treatment of malaria with a group of doctors and discussed the efficacy of some medicinal materials, I knew that calamus was specialized in treating various neurological diseases such as fainting, epilepsy, and convulsions. Stone iris is available in many regions, and I don't know if the Ouchi Imperial Doctor has used it, but the stone iris produced in Chizhou seems to have better medicinal effects.

Bao Zheng also contributed to the donation of medicine, coupled with Wen Yanbo's recommendation, and soon served as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, and the legend began.

Failure to analyze the truth will disappoint many people. Why Wen Yanbo recommended Bao Zheng is because Bao Zheng once slapped Wen Yanbo's ass fiercely for Wen Yanbo and Wang Juzheng. Cast it with a peach, repay it with a plum.

"What's wrong with the Six Towers?" Wen Yanbo asked again.

The emperor's illness is slowly recovering, and the Liuta River is fatal, once something happens, if you think about the various methods of the Jia Chang Dynasty, it will cause chaos.

"Brother Kuanfu, I don't like to talk nonsense, I won't say it until I see it."

"Can you give me a hint?"

"Brother Yanguo, ask Uncle Ouyang Yong."

"He sent an envoy to the Khitan.

Wen Yanbo tugged on Fu Bi's sleeve and said: "Ouyang Xiu has returned, just in Hebei, I heard that he also went to Liuta River to see it, and he will return to Beijing in a few days." ”

Zheng Lang didn't want to say it, so he didn't ask. Wen Yanbo thinks left, Zheng Lang thinks so, and he doesn't like nonsense, just talk about things, at least there must be evidence to speak before he can admonish.

"Brother Kuanfu, Brother Yanguo, can you deny that I look at Your Majesty?" Zheng Lang asked cautiously.

The emperor can't speak, and in the dormitory, the ministers of the two provinces can enter, but he is not the minister of the two provinces now, so it is inconvenient to break into the inner palace.

"Xingzhi, we can't enter the dormitory now, so let's send someone to ask the queen."

"Okay."

Wen Yanbo sent Xiao Huangmen to ask Empress Cao, and Zheng Lang drank tea and looked at the engineering drawings of the Liuta River. Fu Bi asked: "Xingzhi, if the Liuta River is not good, how can you control the Yellow River?" ”

"Brother Yanguo, except for my strategy, there is no strategy to govern the Yellow River." Zheng Lang said decisively.

It is equivalent to not saying that the country is willing to use 200 million
