Zeng Gongliang said cautiously: "Your Majesty, does Xingzhi mean that Your Majesty wants to believe in him?" ”

"Zeng Gong, he is my teacher, how can you not believe it?" Zhao Ji asked puzzled.

All the big guys bowed their heads and remained silent, Ouyang Xiu is also your teacher. This can see a comparison, the real respect for the teacher is not Zhao Zhen, but Zhao Zhen. Of course, Zheng Lang's relationship will be much better than Ouyang Xiu's relationship with Zhao Ji.

But it's hard to say.

After all, Zheng Lang once opposed the case of the first emperor Puyi, and God knows if the little emperor is like the first emperor, a virtue of holding grudges.

Zeng Gongliang said: "Your Majesty, the weight of the current financial scarcity has never been seen since the founding of our dynasty, and this kind of trust is an extraordinary trust, so that these shortcomings can be corrected one by one." If it is compared, if it is compared, it is like the first lord to look after the thatched house. ”

Zhao Ji opened his mouth wide and asked, "Is it feasible for me to go to Zhengzhou?" ”

Locked up in the palace all day, he wants to run around often, but will you agree?

Chen Xu said: "No, the ancestor Liu Bei was a hero at that time, and he only owned a county in Xinye, how can he compare with the Great Song Dynasty?" If you want to use it, you can write an edict a few times, and if Your Majesty does it in person, it is a bad ancestral example. ”

Zhang Fangping couldn't stand it, it was good, but this was not for Zheng Lang, and said: "Your Majesty, if this is not the case, the cashier of the country is so serious today, that is, if the minister has the ability to make the cashier peaceful, His Majesty will also be very important." ”

Don't talk about Zheng Lang and Zhang Fangping, even if a cat and a dog come, if they have the ability to fill in this black hole, the monarch will also give credit. The proposition that everyone said is not true.

Wu Kui said: "Do you mean the system? ”

Not only the emperor, but also the ministers and the people of the world must prepare, isn't it what is the system?

Sima Guang said: "Wrong, Zheng Gong's cultivation of Confucianism is to correct the pseudo-Confucianism that the Han Dynasty thought. Although it is said that the etiquette is lawful. This is also the original meaning of the Master. Doesn't it mean that the system is set for the country, and besides, the system must be amended from time to time. ”

Zheng is mean. Now almost all the scholars have seen it, unlike the young Zheng Lang, although Zheng Lang is lying in Zhengzhou now, which one does not look sideways? The mean is about regulation. Benevolence and righteousness are talking about the middle, and how to regulate and the middle is exactly what Sima Guang said.

Sima Guang said: "The system also needs to be implemented by people, and without good ministers to implement it, even if there is a good system, the country will decline." How can there be a law? ”

After saying that, he was silent.

He was checking the accounts, and he vaguely knew what Zheng Lang wanted to do, but it couldn't be said to be a system, a courtier, what kind of system did he open for the Song Dynasty? It's taboo.

Zhao Ji smiled. said: "Could it be that Zheng Gong is taking the test?" ”

Don't mention it, I'm going to go back and ask my mother.

Everyone dispersed. Sima Guang quietly came to Wang Tao's house.

Later, there was a joke circulating on the Internet, Sima Guang patted Wang Anshi on the shoulder and said, Jiefu, you are still too tender. Wang Anshi calmly shot back, what's the big deal, isn't it just smashing a water tank. I'd do the same, but with one less chance. Sima Guang's eyes shot out two cold lights, and said, the opportunity is created by yourself, you only know that the old man smashed the cylinder, but you don't know how the child fell in.

This joke is too vicious, but it can prove the degree of Sima Guang's belly.

The ministers have a lot of discussions, in fact, there are all of them, Your Majesty, you said trust, why are Han Qi and Wen Yanbo still staying in the East and West Mansions? The teacher is big-minded and has nothing to do with holding grudges, but can these two stay in Erfu, can they still do good things?

The depressed Sima Guang couldn't say it yet. As soon as he said it, Zheng Lang's tall image immediately fell to the ground, it turns out that your name is a saint, but you are actually a narrow-minded hypocrite.

At least Han Qi couldn't let him stay in Zhongshu.

He won't come forward, but there is a way to overthrow Han Qi and find Wang Tao, during the reign of peace, almost all those who opposed Han Qi left the court together, and only Sima Guang was the luckiest. Without any other reason, without Sima Guang, Zhao Shu would not be able to become the crown prince for a while. Zhao Shu still remembered this kindness, not only did not remove him from the court, but also gave Sima Guang the right to write "Tongzhi" (that is, Zizhi Tongjian, Sima Guang's favorite thing in his life is to write books, a total of thirty-seven tomes, more than Lu Xun's words, in the last years of Renzong, he wanted to write Zizhi Tongjian, and ruled for three years, that is, last year, he wrote eight volumes from the Warring States Period to Qin, which was on Zhao Shu. Zhao Shu ordered to set up a bureau to renew, and to supply expenses and replenish personnel. At this time, the name was still Tongzhi, not Zizhi Tongjian)

The ups and downs in the past four years have not only not hurt Sima Guang's hair, but have won a clear name. Is it easy?

Even this vision and sense of smell of tenses are ten times better than Ouyang Xiu!

Wang Tao has great respect for Sima Guang, and it has nothing to do with Zheng Lang, but Sima Guang himself.

Politely welcomed Sima Guang to the mansion, and the two sat down and talked about current affairs. Sima Guang said: "Fu Gong said that if Zheng Gong was given ten years of Chenguang, the country could resolve the crisis, and Zheng Gong also said that it would take at least ten years of Chenguang." ”

"Even ten years is not easy," Wang Tao sighed.

There are two methods, one is to wantonly loot the people, which Zheng Lang will not do. The second is to operate carefully, but at this time and at that time, if it is in the Renzong Dynasty, although the country has many drawbacks, but the government is clear, the system is barely perfect, if you have the ability, there is no problem in saving tens of millions of dollars a year. Then in less than ten years, the world's debts can be repaid. Guan Jian is now turning the political situation around, and he will not think about it in a few years. It's easy to destroy, Afang Palace is so big, it will be burned out in one fire. But what about construction?

Sima Guang was very satisfied with Wang Tao's sigh and said, "Ledao, why did Han Gong say that once Gong Zheng returned to Beijing, he would be able to repay the world's debts in five years?" ”

"Treacherous!" Wang Tao scolded hatefully.

Whether it is Fu Bi or Zheng Lang, it is a rational statement, and it is also believable.

Han Qi: Isn't this?

Can it be repaid in five years? The bank embezzled a large amount of money to the Zhongshu last year, and this year it is responsible for the cost of the mountain, and the debts owed by the river workers will not be repaid until next autumn. It was scrapped in just over a year. Even if there is, even if there is only 200 million yuan in arrears, it can only be achieved by throwing away the income of the bank supervision and accumulating at least 40 million yuan a year. Even if it can be done, now that the political situation is rotten, it will take at least two or three years. We also have to work diligently. to sort it out.

The gods are coming. It is also impossible to pay off the world's debts in five years, and leave a healthy finance.

Han Qi seems to be kind-hearted, but his intentions are really vicious.

"What is Han Gong's intention?" Sima Guang pretended to be stupid and asked.

"Junshi, you haven't figured it out yet? As long as Zheng Gong returns to the court. Five years will not be paid off. But in five years' time, the finances will not be as bad as they are now. However, for Zheng Lang, five years in power is a long time limit. Five years of support, unable to pay off the debt, may not be wrong for others, for Zheng Lang, there is a mistake. Don't forget that this person has twice taken care of his life, otherwise why hasn't His Majesty removed this person so far. Then after five years, this person will be worried about the court again. ”

"How's that going," Sima Guang said worriedly.

"Junshi, don't worry. With me in charge of the Imperial Historical Tower, I will not let this traitor succeed. ”

Sima Guang left satisfied.

Wang Tao began to write a book. Please reuse Lu Dafang and Guo Yuanming as ministers, and later Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu plugged some ministers into Taiwan, and Taiwan had ministers, but many of them were Han Qi's henchmen. It's hard to go it alone, so I want to have more help.

Han Qi is not allowed.

Wang Tao asked Zhao Ji again, but Zhao Ji was silent.

He was looking at each other coldly, and he was still thinking about a face, just to see if Han Qi could give this face. The result disappointed him.

didn't move for the time being, after all, Han Qi was presiding over the mountain tomb, and it was a little inappropriate to move at this time.

Sima Guang let him get the sweetness, and thought of Zheng Lang's other students. The first is Wang Anshi, the court repeatedly invited him to Beijing, but Wang Anshi did not grant it. Zhao Ji said to the auxiliary ministers: "An Shi has been the emperor of the first dynasty, and he can't afford to be tired, or he thinks it's disrespectful (referring to not respecting Wang Anshi). Now I am called, and I am not coming, is it sick, or do I want something? ”

It's really hard to say, Zheng Lang has an exam question, could it be that Wang Anshi is also giving an exam question?

Zheng Lang was not called, and he really had Zheng Lang's intentions. Wang Anshi was not called, but he was playing with little wisdom. Zhao Shu issued an edict at the time, what did he do when he entered the court, vassal Zhao Shu Puyi? Now that Zhao Shu is dead, first, I don't know what the new emperor thinks, and second, the first emperor did not grant the edict, and he was a little suspicious when he received the edict at this time. How much can it be regarded as self-respect for self-esteem and fame. Some people in history ridiculed it, but it is not untargeted.

Zhao Ji was young and a little anxious, so he asked the ministers.

Zeng Gongliang said: "Wang Anshi's literary industry should be of great use, and if he can't afford to be tired, he will be sick and dare not be bullied." ”

Wu Kui said: "Wang Anshi was picketed in prison during the Renzong Dynasty, and the two teenagers fought for quails, and the one who couldn't get it ran away, and the one who got first then chased after him, and assassinated the one after catching up. Kaifeng Mansion sentenced the murderer to death, but after Wang Anshi went, according to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, robbery and stealing are both theft, and not giving a hard robbery is theft, and the pursuer is not guilty of killing. The government officials were not satisfied, Han Qi Zhao Anshi apologized for his guilt at the pavilion gate, but Wang Anshi refused to thank him. Because he has a grudge against Han Qi. Now that Han Qi is in power, Wang Anshi probably thinks that Han Qi will be depressed, so he refuses to enter the court. ”

Han Qi was silent.

Zhao Ji glanced at Wu Kui suspiciously.

This is a very bad sign, the reason why Wu Kui was allowed to enter the Zhongshu is mainly to control Han Qi's rights. Once Wu Kui falls to Han Qi, there will be many variables. After all, he was a teenager who thought about problems too simply.

Zeng Gongliang said: "Wang Anshi is really a complementary talent, and what Kui said is to listen to the saints. ”

Wu Kui said: "Your Majesty, the ministers and Wang Anshi lead the herds, and they are prepared to use it for their own use before protecting their shortcomings, and they are broad, and if they are used, they will disrupt the discipline." ”

Zeng Gongliang smiled slightly, no longer spoken, Wu Kui said that he missed his mouth, the reason why he opposed Wang Anshi was not that Wang Anshi could not be used, but that when he was in the same class as Wang Anshi, he had a personal grudge.

Zhao Ji said: "In this way, first edict King An Shi to know Jiangning Mansion." ”

Zeng Gongliang said: "This person is a great talent, since he was a teenager, he has been known all over the world, and the country is in the process of employing people, and he is still wandering in the local area, and he must resign." ”

Han Wei said: "Wang Anshi knows that he is upright, not for profit, and has been ill for a long time. The ministers expected that Wang Anshi would not do it. If the king of the people practiced at the beginning and wanted to see the sage and try to rule the world, who would not want to be loyal to the Tao? ”

But to the disappointment of Zeng Gongliang and Han Wei, the edict arrived, and Wang Anshi actually took up his post in Jiangning Mansion.

Zheng Langjin asked Zhao Ji to use Wang Anshi to guard money, but Wang Anshi has his own considerations, Han Qi is still in the middle book, the emperor's sincerity is insufficient, and there is no teacher to cover in the court, now it is not easy to keep money for the country, if he really wants to be appointed to the third division or two governments, he will not agree. It's better to mix in Jiangning Mansion first.

Zheng Lang: Don't guess or guess the two students.

He also ordered Lu Gong to write and Si Weiguang as a bachelor of Hanlin. Sima Guang resigned repeatedly. Zhao Zhen said: "The gentleman of the ancients. Or learn but not write. Or literature but not learning, but Dong Zhongshu Yangxiong has both, Qing has literature, what to say? ”

Sima Guang said: "The minister can't be four or six bodies. How to draft an edict? ”

"If it is the Han system, it can be written in ancient style."

"The story of this dynasty is not accurate."

Zhao Ji asked strangely: "Qing can be promoted to the rank of Shigao, why can't it be four or six?" ”

Sima Guang couldn't answer, and tended out. Another one who plays with the heart comes out. In fact, they are all looking at Zhao Ji's movements. As long as Zhao Ji immediately announced Han Qi's resignation. Ending the three-year Pu Yi struggle in Zhiping and repositioning Zhao Yunrang, whether Wang Anshi or Sima Guang, will gladly go to his fate.

Zhao Ji thought that Sima Guang was virtuous and humble, and asked the Chinese envoy to forcibly stuff the letter into Sima Guang's arms, and Sima Guang had no choice but to accept it. On the other day, Zhao Ji asked Wang Tao: "Is it a bachelor's book and a bachelor?" ”

Wang Tao said: "The two of them are also recommended by the ministers, and the employment is like this." There is no cure for the world. ”

It has nothing to do with Zheng Lang, just an impression of the two. As Wang Tao bombarded Zheng Lang's other former subordinate, Guo Kui. Guo Kui was sentenced to Weizhou because of the suppression of the scholars. Zhao Ji was recalled, and Wang Tao tried his best to oppose it. Guo Kui is Zheng Lang's favorite general, but he has repeatedly entered Xifu because of Han Qi's recommendation, which inevitably makes people suspicious. Even Zheng Lang himself had some speculations about Guo Kui.

Wang Tao thought that Han Qi was spreading his cronies one by one in the two mansions, and he hadn't fallen Han Qi yet, so he was in a hurry, and repeatedly bombarded Guo Kui, but without success. Then thinking of Sima Guang's words, he was finally angry. Ignoring Zhao Ji's ambiguous attitude, he directly aimed at Zhongshu.

found a handle, using Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang to impeach Han Qi for not betting on Chang Chaoban, and compared Han Qi to Huo Guang and Liang Ji. Coupled with the big black hole in the treasury, countless ministers were impeached.

Zeng Gongliang and Han Qi had no choice but to write a letter to apologize.

Zhao Ji sent Han Qi to the inner palace and showed Wang Tao Zhangzhang to Han Qi, Han Qi said: "Your Majesty, the minister is not a domineering person, Your Majesty will send a small yellow door to, and you can tie the minister with a rope and take it." ”

There was no choice but to play the sad card.

But Zhao Ji talked about his conscience and sighed. I talked to Han Qi for a long time.

But Zhao Ji's approach made many people misunderstand, Wang Tao played endlessly, Zhao Ji asked Teng Fu to ask, Teng Fu said: "The prime minister's inherent crime, but it refers to him as domineering, and the minister thinks it is a deception." ”

is very slippery, Han Qi is at fault, but it is not as serious as Wang Tao said.

Zhao Ji was silent. This further caused some people to misunderstand, Wu Kui and Zhao Yi confronted each other, and insisted on deposing Wang Tao in other states. Needless to say, if Zhao Ji listened to Wang Tao and many ministers play, the two governments would inevitably reshuffle the cards, and he would not be able to escape. Wang Tao was suspected of stealing the opportunity. After Han Qi played the first sad card, he played the second sad card, took leave at home, and didn't even go to the Chinese book. Zhao Ji was worried that after all, the power had not been completely transitioned, so he sent an envoy to visit him many times.

Seeing Zhao Ji like this, Wang Tao once again speculated about Zhao Ji's intentions, in fact, he didn't think that the nature of striking Han Qi and striking Ouyang Xiu was different, and when Zhao Xuan and Zhang Fangping dismissed Han Qi a few months later, it was like a spy operation, no less than a mysterious palace coup.

If you have a book and play it, you can easily knock Han Qi down.

Therefore, Wu Kui finally stole the chicken and failed to lose a handful of rice, thinking that Zhao Ji hated Ouyang Xiu, not Han Qi, and wanted to protect Han Qi, so Wu Kui tried to defend Han Qi. Zhao Ji sneered in his heart, why do you use you, it is exactly what you said a few months ago, and when the words were still circling, they changed their knots. Wu Kui tried his best to protect it, and the pity for Han Qi that arose in Zhao Ji's heart gradually disappeared. But he didn't dare to move Han Qi, and handed Wu Kui's chapter to Wang Tao to see.

Wang Tao was furious and impeached Wu Kui for the six crimes of deceiving the world.

The two quarreled, one faction to protect Korea, and the other faction to reverse Korea.

Zhao Ji had a headache, and he couldn't say that he was suffering, so he asked Wang Tao to be a bachelor of Hanlin and Sima Guangquan to be a scholar in the imperial history, and he came to a swap. Sima Guang thought seriously for a while, and then thought of Zheng Lang's refusal of the edict, and finally woke up to the fact that it was not yet the time for the fire, so he thanked him: "Since the prime minister is powerful, but if Wang Tao quits because of the prime minister, then Zhongcheng cannot be restored, and the minister is willing to wait for the prime minister to take office after taking office." ”

Even if it is exchanged, it cannot be exchanged now, so can Yanchen impeach the prime minister in the future? Or is it like the story of Zhiping, and let Tai Jian become the commander of the light pole?

Zhao Jiwu said, "Qing Zhi is also in general." ”

However, Yan Chen was not convinced, and Wu Shen, Lu Jingtai and others impeached Wu Kui for having no king's heart.

Why did the emperor let you go to Zhongshu, it was to let you share Han Qi's power, but you are good, you have only been to Zhongshu for less than two months now, and you are actually vassalized with Han Qi, do you still have the emperor in your heart?

Zhao Ji was annoyed, these are unspoken rules, they can't be made public, you just said it in a bright light, and in anger, you criticized a line of words on the impeachment book: Tao, Wu Shen, Lv Jingtai, the minister of destruction, Tao out of Chenzhou, Wu Shen, Lv Jingtai fined 20 catties of copper; Wu Kuiwei was in power and impeached Zhongcheng, with the edict as the internal approval, and within three days, he dismissed Qingzhou.

But Wang Tao was his cronie who came up with one hand, and he seemed to give in to Han Qi, and he was really angry in his heart, and said angrily to Zhang Fangping: "Kuiba, you should replace him with Qing." ”

Zhang Fangping said: "Han Qi has been telling for a long time, Kui is exempt, he will not come back, Qi Xun is in the royal family, I hope Your Majesty will restore the throne, and the edict will be issued to Qi, so as to divide it all the time." ”

Look at how you listen to this, it seems that he is saying good things for Han Qi and Wu Kui, but in fact, Han Qi is not accusing him, he is threatening the imperial court! But whether Han Qi is really accusing is not only not, but also officially got together with Wen Yanbo.

When Wang Tao led the ministers to impeach Han Qi, Wen Yanbo said to Han Qi: "Zhigui, do you remember when this son was in addition to Zhan? ”

refers to the early years of Zhiping, it is rumored that Wang Tao was very Jin of Han Qi at that time, but God knows, Han Qi in order to control the court, in order to deal with the opposition of the ministers, vigorously support his cronies, is Han Qi close to Wang Tao, or Wang Tao is respectful to Han Qi? Outsiders don't know. Therefore, when the East Palace was built, Zhao Shu ordered Cai Kang to be Zhan Shi, and Han Qi to raise Wang Tao.

Wen Yanbo means that Wang Tao is an ungrateful villain. Han Qi said in front of the guests: "On the night of seeing things, it is advisable to love the tart." ”

It soon reached Zhao Ji's ears.

This made Zhao Ji even more worried, originally Han Qiquan had been in the world for many years, plus a Wen Yanbo, how could it be done? I disagree with Han Qi and Wen Yanbo's words. Don't you know that there is a clear distinction between public and private? If so, how did you deal with Renzong? said that he was loyal to his father and the emperor, then Wang Tao did the right thing. Speaking of ingratitude, there are still more ungrateful people in the world who you and Ouyang Xiu are? Anger in his heart, he had to give in, summoned Wu Kui to Yanhe Palace, comforted him, and restored him, and said: "Doesn't King Cheng suspect Zhou Gong's evil?" ”

Duke Zhou is so loyal, but King Zhou Cheng didn't doubt it, but the loyalty and treachery are clear, and King Zhou Cheng will reuse Duke Zhou after that.

Another of Han Qi's cronies, Shao Kang, said it, and Zhao Ji angrily criticized: "There is no other, and those who want to sit and lie down have their ears!" ”

The sitting and lying person refers to Han Qi, not famous, but definitely not respected, and there are some sitting and lying people in history, such as Sima Yi and others.

Seeing that Zhao Ji was so embarrassed, Zheng Lang finally made a move. (To be continued.) )
