Zheng Lang's face was very peaceful.

When I returned to the court this time, the main task was to help Pang with the text. If Di Qing can go down, you Wen Yanbo will also have to go down.

said very calmly: "Xianggong Wen, if the Western Xia invades the border, the generals of the DPRK and the Central Committee will not be accepted, and some useful generals will stay in Tanzhou and cannot be separated, who will guard the northwest." Will you go? Qinzhou: What is the record of your command? ”

Zheng Lang is the pot that does not open the pot, the Northern Song Dynasty and Yuan Hao negotiated peace, Zheng Lang returned to Kaifeng, Wen Yanbo was in Qinzhou, the Fan people plotted rebellion, and Wen Yanbo was defeated. Of course, in the end, if it is suppressed, a few small tribes will rebel, and how can it become a big thing.

Explaining that Wen Yanbo didn't understand military affairs, Zheng Lang said again: "Di Qing only knows one state, not the Tang Dynasty's Jiedu envoy, let alone An Lushan, who controls most of the financial and military power in Hebei Hedong, just one Zhizhou, can shake the entire Great Song Dynasty?" Don't say it's Di Qing, Li Jingweiqing is alive, and they don't want to succeed. If you even know one side of the state to take precautions, if there is something on the border in the future, do you still need military generals? Don't use the command of the general, the command of the scholar, and then go into battle to kill the enemy in person? Ladies and gentlemen, can any of you say that you dare to go into battle and kill the enemy yourself? ”

Zheng Lang took a few more steps and asked: "Xianggong Wen, you all say that Di Qing is a military general and cannot serve as a privy envoy, the northwest is a war and an army, what is Chenzhou, the key point of the country, is governance or prevention." did not let a military general go to the northwest to defend the knowledge of Western Xia, but let a famous military general serve as Chenzhou, threatening the security of the country's Gyeonggi, and not good at governance. Wen Xianggong, what are your intentions? Di Qing asked what the crime should be, he is more or less a privy envoy of a country, but the king replied that there is no him, doubtful! Hugh wants you to be a courtier, does Your Majesty dare to answer like this? The country is such an ancestral legal system, and the prime minister is the prime minister who does this! ”

Since he used the system to attack Di Qing, Zheng Lang also used the system to refute Wen Yanbo.

After speaking, he said: "Your Majesty, the minister has made the mistake of the court dispute, please ask Your Majesty to depose all the minister's Fengzhi doctors and lieutenants in the light car." ”

This dethronement, Zheng Lang is almost a naked official.

Zhao Zhen said strangely: "Accurate." ”

But Wen Yanbo's forehead was sweating more and more. Zheng Lang repeatedly resigned, which brought him a great threat. Forced to a dead end, he sighed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is also thinking about the country, and he doesn't want the country to lose, if Zheng Lang is cunning again and again, the minister has nothing to say, the case of Liutahe." If there is a mistake on the part of the minister, please ask Your Majesty to allow the minister to resign from the post of governor. ”

There is no way, Zheng Lang is coming to him, no matter how resigned, Zheng Lang may continue to fight, and he can't escape if he is at fault with Liutahe. I am even more embarrassed if I continue to fight.

Zhao Zhen pondered for a while and said: "Quasi, Zhao Wen Yanbo is sentenced to the Hanlin Academy University and merged with the state, Zhao Pang returned to Beijing as the Tongping Zhangshi, Zhao Hanqi returned to Beijing as the privy envoy, and Chang was the general judge of Tanzhou." ”

Sisi, there was a sound of cold air coming from the main hall.

It doesn't matter if a prime minister falls, but also a knowledgeable system, what is the location of Tanzhou, and what good end can Liu Chang go?

This edict was also unexpected by Zheng Lang. He thought of one thing, what would happen if the arrogant Han Qi and Pang Ji worked together? It doesn't seem to be very pretty. The plot of Pang Ji and Han Qi facing each other came to mind, and fine beads of sweat also appeared on Zheng Lang's head.

Where did Zhao Zhen think of it, he looked at Di Qing again, and said, "Di Qing, although you are not wrong, it is equivalent to being wrong if you have caused so much controversy." I let you judge Yanzhou. Coke no? ”

"Yes." Di Qing replied loudly. The same decentralization, one is the wrong decentralization to Chenzhou. Continue to be tortured by the scholars, one is to be sent to Yanzhou without guilt, and he will not be tortured again, the nature has become a world of difference, why are you unhappy?

"Also, I heard that you are suffering from back gangrene and have gone to the northwest, which is a place of bitter cold, and you need to recuperate more." Zhao Zhen said. At this time, Zhao Zhen was past his peak, and he still had wisdom. Zheng Lang talked to him for a long time yesterday, saw the bright moon through the clouds, realized the importance of Di Qing to the country, and also realized Di Qing's loyalty. This time, Di Qing was really wronged, not only degraded, but also slandered by Wenchen, and felt a little sorry in his heart.

Zhao Zhen's gentle words, and Zheng Lang rushed back in a simple manner to seek justice for him, which was enough for Di Qing.

Di Qing fell to the ground and choked up, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Zhen was even more embarrassed, looked at the ministers and said: "Di Qing's matter, which is right and which is wrong, Zhuqing will not pursue it in the future." The ancestral legal system is to let me reuse the scholars, but I can't let the soldiers be too chilled. And, ladies and gentlemen, go out of the city with me and see a good thing. ”

Fu Bi came to his senses and said: "Your Majesty, the Liuta River is wrong, and the ministers are also at fault, please let the ministers out to deal with them, and warn the ministers." ”

Zhao Zhen glanced at Fu Bi meaningfully, and said: "When Pang Ji passed through Beijing, I was happy to get two phases, Pang Ji said, if you don't hate the minister, you will not hate it, and if you use the country's money and title to buy the minister, you can't be called a loyal minister." ”

There were a lot of extraneous voices, but Zhao Zhen did not disparage Fu Bi, and shouted: "Prepare for driving." ”

Walking on the road, Bao Zheng's face was not very good.

When he first returned to the court, there was a clear distinction between public and private, one is one, and two is two. After experiencing the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, he was slightly detached, and he was regarded as an upright minister, but it did not match the image of Bao Qingtian in the legend, because he was a faction of Zheng Lang and Wen Yanbo, and was suppressed by Chen Zhizhong, demoted to Chizhou, and meritorious in offering medicine. The biggest legend of his life began.

is a good official, very similar to Cheng Ji, Cheng Shimeng and other officials. However, Bao Zheng's fame is the biggest one.

Zheng Lang fought Wen Yanbo and got Wen Yanbo down, but Wen Yanbo's status in Bao Zheng's heart is still very lofty, after this court meeting, Zheng Lang and Wen Yanbo will undoubtedly become life and death rivals in the future, which makes him feel confused.

Zheng Lang came to him, his wings were big enough, the fate of many officials is changing, the fate of the change will have a certain impact on their character, and it will also bring different changes, he doesn't want to be depressed, and whispered: "Xiren, you can't bring your personal feelings to official affairs, Xiwen is Xi, you also have a Xizi, I hope you learn from Xiwen, take the sky as your own responsibility, public is public, private is private." ”

"Yes."

"Do you still remember the poem you wrote when you first entered Beijing for an alternate position? Be a good officer. ”

Bao Zheng was shocked.

Zheng Lang smiled with satisfaction, after this big change, the two people who had the greatest impact were not Wen Yanbo, the ups and downs of civil officials are normal, but Bao Zheng, who was caught between himself and Wen Yanbo, and Di Qing. As long as he is not depressed, he will not die early in middle age, and wait until that Mr. Wang in Jiangxi appears. There was no shortage of military generals in the Song Dynasty.

"Zheng Xianggong, return to Beijing next year?"

"Xiren, my official position is almost degraded, don't mention the word Xianggong, call me to know, Jinghu South Road is in trouble, I plan to go back to Zhengzhou first."

"Zhengzhou?"

"yes, I was wrong. Go back to Zhengzhou to reflect. ”

"That's right." Bao Zheng thought that he was overstepping the system, twice overpassing, this time it was slightly controversial, for a Di Qing, making the court smoky, but last time he returned to Beijing. But it is willing, if Zheng Lang doesn't remind him, I don't know how many people will drown.

Zheng Lang didn't dare to tell the inside story, shook his head and said, "Xiren, you don't understand. ”

"Even if you do it, Your Majesty will not allow it."

"Besides, even if Your Majesty doesn't allow it, I don't plan to be a Beijing official, so I will continue to float in the place. as a punishment. ”

Bao Zheng was speechless, daring to love this is a seven-wound fist, hurting others and hurting himself.

Out of the Nanxun Gate, gradually to the suburbs, due to the increase in the number of people, even if the Zhenzong built the outer city, there are still many people living outside the outer city. However, after a great waterlogging, the people were severely damaged, and autumn came. And not fully recovered.

You can see people erecting many new houses. But occasionally you can see some people with vegetables on their faces.

Zheng Lang strode forward and came to Fu Bi, Wang Yaochen, and Liu Xin. The three of them are all his old subordinates, and they don't need to be careful when they speak, and said: "Brother Yanguo, Brother Boyong, Brother Chong, take a look, although there are disasters, but the country has not fought for a long time, and it has been resting for several years, but there are so many poor people, this is the capital, if you go to other prefectures and counties in Hebei and Henan, how serious will the situation be?" Are there any mistakes in the book? ”

Liu Xin said: "The imperial court allocated a large amount of money for relief. ”

"I've heard and said it, but has the imperial court been able to allocate these funds to the victims efficiently with the least amount of waste?"

That's the problem.

Not only did the redundancy of officials increase, but it also led to an increase in the expenditure of the imperial court, improper handling of government affairs, many corruption and bribery, and unnecessary waste due to low efficiency. The same 10 million disaster relief funds have a completely different effect.

Why does this happen, inaction also.

It can be said that the three prime ministers are not good ministers, Fu Bi is the only true gentleman in the late Zhao Zhen period, Wang Yaochen is a capable minister, and Liu Xin is the real prime minister. No matter how capable the three of them are, if they don't work hard, they won't have a benign effect.

After Zheng Lang finished speaking, he didn't say anything more and stepped back.

Even if it wasn't in the court, with the jade ring on patrol, there were rules before and after the ministers, Zheng Lang repeatedly degraded himself, and his position was even behind, dozens of places behind Sima Guang.

It was according to the rules, but many officials in front of me seemed to have thorns on their backs, which was very uncomfortable.

There are fewer and fewer houses, and they are really in the suburbs.

It is the place where the Ordnance Superintendent assigned Shi Heng to develop weapons.

The officials rose and fell to greet the royal car.

Shi Heng brought out more than a dozen things, real artillery.

Zheng Lang discussed with him, which inspired him, and finally the first artillery technical difficulties were overcome one by one.

It is not mature, and there are many problems, so it cannot be put into full-scale production, but it can be tried in advance.

A lot of money was spent, but also to give everyone confidence.

But Zheng Lang asked Shi Heng to take out the artillery after he returned to Beijing, and he had other intentions.

A piece of artillery is arranged, which is made in imitation of the tiger squat cannon of the Ming Dynasty, and more than a dozen artillery drawings are given, all of which are artillery in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. The difficulty of artillery technology in later generations was too high, not something that Zheng Lang could master, let alone this era, but the artillery technology in the early Ming Dynasty was too backward and not very powerful, so Zheng Lang let it go one by one.

Among the more than a dozen types of artillery, the technology of the Tiger Squat Cannon is simple, and it has been invested in research and development for nearly ten years, but it has not been completely successful.

The length is slightly longer, 80 centimeters long, and it is also heavy, weighing 56 catties. However, this weight does not hinder transportation. It is also equipped with iron claws and iron shackles, and the cannon body can be stabilized on the ground with large iron nails when firing to prevent recoil and beating during firing, resembling a squatting tiger.

However, the artillery shell technology is slightly more advanced, using cotton gunpowder as a fuse, although it is still black powder, but the black powder formula is more standard, which makes the range longer, reaching more than 300 steps. The shells were not only gunpowder, but also arsenic and sulfur poison, because the explosive power was greater, and in addition to black powder, there were also some tribulus terrestris and iron bullets. The lethality is far stronger than the Tiger Squat Cannon in history.

Of course, the R&D funds are also an astronomical amount, and this workshop alone has spent more than 800,000 yuan in the imperial court over the years.

The craftsmen in the workshop put a lot of scarecrows and made the scarecrows wear the rampant armor.

Then test the gun.

One by one, the scarecrows quickly blew away, and the armor of some of the straw men was blown into small holes by the thistles.

The only dissatisfaction was that a cannon had exploded again.

The flaws are not hidden, everyone sees it very brightly, and the power is not as good as the gunpowder bag, but the speed and range are ah.

Although the gunpowder pack is powerful, it is fired with a trebuchet, and the speed is slow, so it is good to start using it, but after using it, the enemy has to take precautions, the cost is high, and the lethality is decreasing. And because of the heavy weight, it was thrown with a trebuchet, the range was not far, and the speed of the launch was also very slow.

Like this cannonball, more than 300 steps, it is enough to cover most of the most threatening battlefields in the era of cold weapons. And it is so fast that you can hardly see the trajectory of the projectile, so it is impossible to prevent it.

After the test firing, Zhao Zhen was moved, came to the cannon affectionately, stroked the hot barrel with his hand, and said: "Okay, it should be worth 100,000 elite soldiers, no, it should be worth 500,000 elite soldiers." ”

It is conceivable that even if it is not successful now, once it succeeds, the appearance of hundreds of such artillery pieces on the battlefield will be very lethal to the enemy.

Especially some military generals, Wang Deyong and Di Qing looked at these dozen artillery pieces, and their eyes were green.

Zheng Lang stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, all the ministers, this is only a backward artillery, and there are some weapons in the back, including some fires that are easy to carry and easier to fire, but the difficulty is higher, and it will not be developed for a long time." ”

"No hurry, no hurry, reward, reward." Zhao Zhen excitedly announced the reward, and rewarded the official with money.

Then he walked around in front of the cannon excitedly and said, "What a good physicism." ”

This time finally caused Zhao Zhen to be extremely cautious.

Not only him, but also Zeng Gongliang was very excited in his heart, he presided over the Ordnance Supervision from the beginning, and spent countless money before and after, although he invented some weapons and gadgets, the practicality was not large, and the money spent was too much, which made some ministers suspicious.

Now I can finally explain.

And the Ordnance Superintendent is also facing a problem, there are not many people who know how to study things, including Shi Heng, there are bumps in research and development, and if you want to have more people, you have to learn more. However, although Zheng Lang has written several books on Gewuxue, there are very few students who have learned them. This also hinders the speed of development.

Step forward and put the issue on the ground.

At this time, he has moved to the Hanlin bachelor and the knowledge system, in fact, Zhao Zhen has already planned to let him enter the two mansions, and several ministers in the middle book have not been very satisfied with this period of time, and they are ready to inject a new pattern. However, because Di Qing and Zhongshu have changed too frequently, they have not yet been appointed.

Zhao Zhen bowed his forehead and said, "Okay, you write a note and dedicate it." ”

"Whoa."

Continue to revolve around the artillery, this year, there is almost no good news, the country is full of disasters, just found that the treasury has no money, one by one frustrating news came, the reason why Zhao Zhen quickly agreed to Wen Yanbo's release was also because of anger, where did so much money go? This artillery also became the highlight of the year, and it also made him feel a little relieved.

Then looked at Zheng Lang and rewarded the military equipment craftsmen and officials, do you want to reward Zheng Lang?

Zheng Lang shook his head.

An earth-shattering scene happened in the court just now, and the two prime ministers went down, and they couldn't be rewarded at this time.

But Zheng Lang stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, it can't be described as Gewuxue, in fact, it is still Confucianism, the real Confucianism." ”

Ouyang Xiu was not very happy on the side, but after hearing this, he said angrily: "Nonsense......

The words were not spoken, they were too thick to burst.

Zheng Lang smiled, didn't want to care, and said: "Uncle Ouyang Yong, it is not only Confucianism, but also the core of Confucianism, but Confucianism has been blindly misinterpreted by future generations. ”

Zhao Zhen became interested and asked, "What's the solution?" ”
