Chapter 637: Chaotic Battle
The matter is also related to Zheng Lang.
Next year, there will be more soldiers, and I have a big appetite, not only Nong Zhigao, but also want to solve the problem with Meishanman and some headaches on Kuizhou Road, then it will not be the battle of Kunlun Pass in history, which will last longer, use more soldiers, and of course, spend more money and food.
It's worth it, he doesn't seek to expand his territory, and for the time being, Zheng Lang is not very interested in the south. The center of gravity of the Song Dynasty is still in the west and north, but if the south is flat, there will be a stable rear, which is the same as Zhuge Liang's expedition to the south.
If Zhuge Liang didn't capture Meng Shu seven times, how could he have the mind to go out of Qishan six times?
Therefore, this period of time is very low-key, as the official sees, rarely speaks, rarely acts, is this still the Zheng Xingzhi who went to Taiping Prefecture to innovate a lot? Very disappointed. In fact, Zheng Lang is most afraid of them.
caused Zheng Lang to seem to disappear most of the time, if compared, it is quite similar to Fang Xuanling in the early Tang Dynasty, Wei Zheng exaggerated, and it was Fang Xuanling who actually presided over the affairs, but looking through the historical records, asking Fang Xuanling what he did, most people couldn't say.
The evils of the Song dynasty still existed, and even became more and more serious, such as redundant officials, or hidden fields, or the Yellow River, but the country became richer and richer under Zheng Lang's fine-tuning. War requires money and food. The so-called many words and deeds seem to be good, but if this is really done, there will inevitably be many people who oppose it. It doesn't matter what the phase is, but before the second half of next year, Zheng Lang doesn't want to lose his post as prime minister so that his plans are ruined.
Just because he doesn't speak doesn't mean that no one else doesn't speak.
Wen Yanbo wrote more and more words, so there was a seeming misunderstanding below.
At that time, among the ministers who impeached Zhang Yaozuo, the most junior was Tang Jie, who was a minister at the beginning, and only then did he enter the core edge of power, and he did not know the operation of the two governments at all. Unconvinced, he said that Prime Minister Wen Yanbo was authoritarian and selfish, and blackmailed the evil for the party. When he knew Yizhou, he made Jin Qijin and sent people into the palace, so he was promoted to the government. and Enzhou thieves. When the palace heard that His Majesty was worried about the thief, he sought to pacify the thief and win the merit of the pickaxe. Although not, he is still the prime minister. Yesterday, in addition to Zhang Yaozuo's Xuanhui and Jiedu envoys, the ministers were tired of playing, and the face was Fengdeyin, which was said to be a book in China. This is not known to be His Majesty's intention. It is Yanbo's treacherous plot to cater to him, showing that he is using Yao Zuo, and he is married to the concubine, and his majesty is guilty of being in the harem, and he is really planning for himself.
In the book, Bao Zheng has a slight complaint.
Anyway, he still has a good impression of Zheng Lang, although Zheng Lang also did something wrong in Zhang Yaozuo's matter and was suspected of covering up. However, the awarding of Zhang Yaozuo Xuanhui and Jiedu must have nothing to do with the Chinese book. If you want to attack Wen Yanbo, I have no objection, but don't bring down a large number of people. It's going to make a mess.
Wu Kui thought that Zhang Yaozuo had been released, the goal had been accomplished, and there was no need to cause a big mess, and directly expressed his opposition, saying that although Wen Yanbo did not do well, he had the talent to govern and the country relied on him.
Each of the three theories has its own reasoning and one-sidedness.
quarreled, and the Taiwan admonished each other. Choked to death.
Tang Jie was angry, and went to the book again, Yanbo asked for a foreign appointment, and the counselors Wu Kui and Wen Yanbo were the inside and outside, Yan Yanbo was talented, and the country relied on him. I can't stop it. Since the beginning, Yanbo has been given exclusive power, and several have been deferred, most of which are not public, and the rewards are all narrow. Since the three divisions, Kaifeng, the officials, the temple, the two systems, the three halls, and the important positions of the divisions, all go out of their doors, and they cite each other, with the help of momentum, they want to be blessed by themselves, so that people dare not discuss their evil. begged to dismiss Yanbo and replaced him with Fubi. The minister and Bi are also ignorant of life, and they dare not be selfish.
Combining the two pieces, it means that you are the emperor, and you can't even manage your own wife, and it is your second wife who is eye-catching with Wen Yanbo, so Wen Yanbo is rampant to this point.
Zhao Zhen was stunned when he saw this recital. Finally, he said: "If you talk nonsense, I will belittle you!" ”…,
You are allowed to hear about things, but you can't smell this kind of skylight, it's not that you are going to be crazy!
Tang Jie said loudly: "Chen Zhongyi is angry, even if he gets into the oil pot, he is not afraid, and he is degraded. ”
It was made into a hob.
The boiling oil couldn't be splashed, the axe saw couldn't move, Zhao Zhen's little white face twitched, and he pointed at Tang Jie with his finger: "You, you, you ......"
His mouth alone is not clear, just like a wronged child who was beaten hard by the eldest child outside, and had to go home and cry to his mother. Zhao Zhen's two old ladies are not in the world, so they found a few Zai to complain about their grievances.
handed Tang Jie's two letters to the prime ministers, and said: "Tang Jie's words are okay for other things, why do you say that Wen Yanbo has to govern because of the concubine, what can you say?" ”
Angry and dizzy, if Tang Jie does not do well, he will scold and belittle, what do you want the two mansions to do?
Liang Shi said: "Call Tang Jie to question." ”
Summoned Tang Jie in, Tang Jie let go, strode forward, just like the flying man Bolt, his eyes flashed, he jumped in front of Wen Yanbo, and asked: "Wen Yanbo, you touch your conscience, is Zhang Guifei's lantern brocade shirt sent to the palace by your wife?" If so, do not hide from it. ”
Wen Yanbo's face was pale, this matter was ...... He also regretted it.
At that time, the Lantern Festival of Shangyuan, the minister was the minister, and the concubine was the concubine, although they stood on the upper floor of the imperial city to watch the lanterns, there was still a little distance. The queen mother's mother is a little lighter in the world, or Zhao Zhen's youngest daughters are still young, so there is no need to avoid much, and the other concubines all keep a distance from the minister. So far, including Zheng Lang and Wen Yanbo, I have only seen Zhang Guifei's slender figure, and as for what she looks like, I can't see it clearly at all.
However, the new lantern shirt is too dazzling, the emperor is weak, the harem is messy, and there is even a palace maid, not a palace maid, but a palace lady, the palace maid is just a statement to cover up the ugliness to the outside, she is lonely and unbearable, and it is difficult to play with the little yellow door. Not only himself, but Wang Gongchen sent a few small porcelain bottles, which were also passed out.
The small porcelain bottle was not seen by the minister, so naturally it could not be impeached, but how many people saw that lantern shirt? Not only the ministers, but even many people downstairs in the imperial city were faintly visible, and they couldn't distinguish them. In the face of Tang Jie's righteousness, what else can Wen Yanbo say? I can only thank you more than once.
Privy Deputy Liang Shi can't stand it, you are a little Tang Jie, you actually forced the prime minister of the DPRK to such a point, what else can you do? shouted: "Tang Jie, you step aside." ”
Let me come, let me retreat? Tang Jie was furious, and asked God to send it easily, and continued to spray wildly. From Wen Yanbo to Liang Shi, and then to Zheng Lang, you are the real prime minister, and it is your inaction. led to Wen Yanbo's misdeeds.
Zheng Lang was so angry that if Tang Jie used a lantern shirt to say something, Zheng Lang would have nothing to say.
But the others, aren't they talking nonsense, Hugh said Wen Yanbo, himself, Lu Yijian, Pang Ji, or Zhao Zhen. Even if the later Song Huizong, Cai Jing and Zhao Gou, Qin Hui and others, which one person can control the ministers of the Song Dynasty, who is bigger and more reasonable?
Wen Yanbo will definitely want to squeeze himself out of power and become the first prime minister, the upper position will return to the upper position, and the work will be done. What inaction!
I was careful, but I wasn't a god, it was several prime ministers working together. The reign of the emperor! Wen Yanbo has made great contributions!
But what to do?
Did you forcibly carry him down? Or send guards to drag him down? That is more troublesome, who dares to stifle the advice of Yanchen?
Zhao Zhen was so angry that he drank back several times, but Tang Jie didn't listen, I just didn't retreat, it's a big deal to put me in the oil pot. This group of super gods of the Song Dynasty had to listen silently to the little Tang Jie's counting, Zhao Zhen was helpless, I can't control you, someone can take care of you. The king of Cheng in the imperial history called Zheng and asked Tang Jie's immediate boss to give an order to make Tang Jie leave the palace. …,
Wang Juzheng came up, saw that the matter was big, and drank Tang Jie.
The big guy was so angry that he was panting, and Wen Yanbo was so angry that he couldn't do it either. The impeachment of the prime minister is one of the powers of the imperial history, and Wen Yanbo can only bow and say: "Taiwan officials are also willing not to be guilty." ”
Zhao Zhen did not allow it, and called the scholar to take responsibility for the grass system in the palace, and Tang Jie was not driven for Chunzhou (Yangchun County, Guangdong).
Tang Jie's doing this is undoubtedly degraded, but this treatment is too heavy, but Zhao Zhen is angry, and the ministers dare not admonish, just Cai Xiang recalled the capital to speak left and right, and said that Tang Jie is admittedly arrogant, but it is the emperor's virtue to accept all the words, and he will hope that His Majesty will be reserved and loan.
It is easy for someone to start with, and Wang Juzheng, as the boss of Yushitai, doesn't want his younger brother to be too aggrieved, so he takes the opportunity to admonish Tang Jie too much.
Zhao Zhen liked to be abused by the minister, and was abused by Tang Jie, and he was angry at the time, but after a few days, he regretted it in his heart, thought about it, wrote to the court, told the hundred officials, changed the introduction to Yingzhou, and regained his performance. The envoy was sent to escort him to Yingzhou, and the precepts must be complete, and he died without an order.
Hu Su of the knowledge system and admonished: "Tang Jie sat down and offended by words, and instructed Chunzhou not to drive, Lingnan water and soil, Chunzhou is the most evil and weak, the day of the system, it is said that if it is here, there will be no reason to survive, and I can't think of the holy mercy with dirt, and I will die if I pity it, and I will change it to degrade Yingzhou." ”
This is the knowledge of speaking, first to promote it, and then to seek it.
Zheng Lang was pondering, Yingzhou is also in Lingnan, but in the south of Shaozhou, compared to the environment, Yingzhou is indeed much better than Chunzhou. However, the Liangguang area, not only Chunzhou, but also other large areas has become a major disaster for the management of Liangguang because of the small number of people living in it and the miasma. Even the local indigenous people in some areas are afraid of miasma, and they farm during the day, and when the miasma comes, when the miasma comes, they run to the mountains to avoid the miasma, which will become the number one problem in the management of Lingnan.
For the miasma, even the scientists of later generations are vague, although all kinds of exaggerations, there are indeed some things, at least Zheng Lang does not have many good ways to solve it.
Zheng Lang was thinking about his thoughts, and Hu Su continued to say: "This Cheng Tian's grace and Tang Jie are immeasurable, but the minister is still uneasy when he meets him, or he is sent to the degraded place when he hears the special mission, and the court decree has no negligence on the road, and this punishment is quite unusual. If you die on the road due to the disease of frost and dew, you will not be able to make the family know about it, and it will also make the court slander the world, and the injury will not be small. Even if the intermediary is safe to the point of debasement, it cannot be used as a post-law. The minister and the intermediary do not know each other, and they have never interacted with each other in the court, so they do not avoid those who are angry, and they are guarding everything for the court. I hope that Your Majesty will be blessed with holy grace, leave the province of foolishness, and return the people to the whole court. ”
In other words, it means that the nature of whether to send an envoy to escort is completely different from whether to send an envoy to escort or not. The former is a sin, and the latter is only a normal court dethronement.
The palace servant Shi Liang Qian also argued, so he immediately returned the envoy.
Since Tang Jie is not guilty, Wen Yanbo will be disposed of, and Wen Yanbo will be dismissed as a scholar of the Ministry of Shangshu Guan Wendian University to know Xu Zhou, and Liang Shi will be the governor of the political affairs.
Zheng Lang was speechless.
Liang Shi is a little capable, but this person's moral conduct is too bad, and he must always be on guard against getting him to the middle book. Besides, no matter how capable Liang Shi is, he is not as good as Wen Yanbo, so he often looks at the three little brothers in his hands. Liu Xin is good, but he is new to the school, and he is not very familiar with the government affairs of Zhongshu, so he can't reuse it. Headache, Gao Ruone, half of the soy sauce beater, and often do not know the severity, headache, Liang Shi, the ability of the officials to govern is not as good as Wen Yanbo. Careful thinking about the eyes is quite a lot, headache. It's just that Tang Jie mentioned Fu Bi, otherwise he would get Fu Bi to the Chinese book, and he could still be his good helper, but now he can't speak. It was Xifu that made his eyes hot, Pang Ji, Fu Bi and Wang Yaochen. …,
A lantern shirt is worth only a few hundred dollars, and I can't see it clearly. At most, one or two thousand dollars, Fan Lou's extravagant banquet will be gone, and he will be defeated. Is it worth it?
It's still early.
The younger brother of his subordinates took it away, and Wang Juzheng was not convinced, especially the result that the Zhiyuan drew the back ladder this time. Wang Juzheng played Wu Kui and Wen Yanbo to communicate with each other, Wen Yanbo stopped, and Wu Kui of the Zhiyuan also stopped.
Out of Wu Kui in Zhimi Prefecture.
Wang Juzheng loves his younger brother, and Bao Zheng also loves his younger brother, and plays: "Tang Jieyin played the minister, and slandered Wu Kui to confuse the heavens. ”
Zhao Zhen didn't listen. Tang Jie went to Lingnan to do a little driving, but your little brother is in Mizhou, one of the seventeen state capitals chosen by the bank, what else do you want.
Wang Juzheng was even more angry, and simply said that Bao Zheng and Wu Kuiyin married Wen Yanbo.
Speaking of which, in the end, Zhao Zhen believed it. A few months later, Bao Zheng was the bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, and Hebei was transferred to him. He also migrated to Gaoyangguan to pacify the envoy. Bao Zheng is also wonderful, all the way north, farther and farther, simply check the accounts of the states, there are many people because of poverty, owed the state money, so all the way to exempt, the people cheered. To put it nicely, this is a lenient loan to the poor people, and to put it mildly, this is to buy one's own name with the state's money.
Otherwise, where did Bao Qingtian come from?
If it is placed in the previous dynasty, the problem will be big, Wang Juzheng impeached again, but Zhao Zhen is also wonderful, he does not listen, and thinks that Bao Zheng is a good official.
This was the best time of the Song Dynasty, the time when the emperor who loved the people the most was the most proud, but the good times did not last long. So Zheng Lang has never hated the sister in the palace.
The year is coming to an end.
An extremely important piece of information came from the northwest.
In the past, he had always submitted to the Khitan, and although he had rebelled several times, he was suppressed by the Khitan. The Khitan used troops against the Western Xia many times, close to its borders, and mostly collected troops and materials from the obstruction, fearing the Khitan momentum, its king Tun Balgusi and the chieftain were so open-minded that they could only gasp for Gloris, and they had to continue to contribute their horses and camel felt jade as before after receiving heavy hand military service.
The Western Xia was poor, and although the soldiers of the various departments were prevented from participating in the conquest of the Western Xia, they hated it in their hearts, but they had to contact some tribes, sell their cattle, horses, and camels, and enter the Song Dynasty. This is a normal change, and then an agreement was made with Zheng Lang to buy livestock at a much higher price than the market price, only large livestock, not felt jade and other materials, which are used for use and have no effect on farming. The trading volume began to grow in size.
Divination was originally suffering, but after suffering the devastation caused by the war, he obtained this trade route, did not refuse, and continued to submit to the Khitan, while trading with the Western Xia on a large scale, obtaining cloth, tea, porcelain and a small amount of iron from the Central Plains. When the Khitan found out, he sent someone to reprimand him.
For this reason, there was a dispute between the various ministries.
Some people are afraid of the Khitan, and some people think that although we surrender to the Khitan, because of the Western Xia War, the taxes are becoming heavier, and many strong men die in the war, and they are worthy of the Khitan, and they must always give us a way to live. The king of obfuci, Tun Balgus, listened to the latter's advice and perfunctory his rebuke to the Khitan.
However, the king of the obstruction is similar to the Spring and Autumn period in China, the various tribes have a high degree of autonomy, some of the tribes loyal to the Khitan are dissatisfied, and there is a geographical relationship, the various parts of the obstruction are scattered in the central and southern parts of Outer Mongolia, the territory is vast, the population is sparse, some are close to the Western Xia, and the large-scale trade will get a lot of benefits, and some are far away, almost no profits, and the sound of disputes continues. The chief of a large tribe stabbed his brother in order to quarrel, clashed with Tun Vulgusi, and tricked his brother into raiding and annexing the tribe of Tun Vulgus, replacing Tun Vulgusi.
When Tun Gusi learned about it, he was very afraid, his tribe was not as big as the unscrupulous tribe, and they had the support of the Khitan, once the war started, they would inevitably be defeated, so they sent an envoy to Western Xia to ask for attachment. …,
The ministers of Western Xia were inexplicable, because they thought of what Zheng Lang said when Yang Shousu sent an envoy to the Song Dynasty.
When the messenger arrived, Yang Shousu felt a lot of emotion in his heart, what a demon! He almost lost the courage to resist the Song Dynasty.
At the beginning of the discussion, all three countries were similar, some hawks and some doves. The militants think that the Khitan has not agreed to negotiate peace anyway, the two countries are not getting better, the Song Dynasty is cowardly, there is nothing to do with the Song Dynasty, don't worry about them, the main enemy is the Khitan, which is also Yuan Hao's last words. Therefore, accept the surrender of the divination. Some ministers even had a whimsical idea, once they blocked Bu Cheng, and then persuaded the Song Dynasty to send troops to recover the sixteen states of Youyun, and the three kingdoms would divide the Khitan once and for all.
But they misinterpreted Yuan Hao's meaning, and wanted to be sincere in friendship with the Song Dynasty, or did they blackmail, scoundrels, invade farming, and plunder as before, so how could the Song Dynasty make peace with Xixia? Without these things, even if Zheng Lang was the prime minister, it would be impossible to start a war against Western Xia.
Some ministers are still very sensible, the Song Dynasty may not be well-intentioned, the prime minister is even more elusive, and has to be guarded against, the national strength of the Western Xia is narrow, once the acceptance of the obstruction of the surrender of the Cheng, the Western Xia and the Khitan will have no peace. Therefore, it was refused, and it could be used to show goodwill to the Khitan.
The latter includes Yang Shousu.
It really works, it is rejected in history, Liao Xingzong thought about it, the Western Xia should be sincere, and after half a year of concealment, he finally accepted the surrender of the Western Xia.
But I hate it, I hate Zheng Lang in the appearance, first got Brother Ning Ling to Khitan, and there are no Tibetan brothers and sisters who can't sleep well, and no Tibetan brothers and sisters don't support it, how can the latter gain the upper hand?
The second is Zheng Lang's support in disguise, which led to some confrontation in the hands of Western Xia. Besides, if the salt road is open for a month, how much salt will have to be transported to the Song Dynasty? In the past, it was not allowed to be transported, otherwise with the connection between some insatiable merchants of the Song Dynasty and Western Xia, how much green salt could be transported away in a month? It can even easily make a profit of several millions.
Finally, the former gained the upper hand, and Yang Shousu said helplessly: "Queen Mother, Prime Minister, either send another envoy to the Song Dynasty, if the Song Dynasty keeps its promise, we will agree to take in Tun Balgusi." ”
This time the envoy is not Yang Shousu, without him, he is the main faction, not to recruit the likes of the Tibetan False Pang, but to send Li Shougui as the main envoy, Yang Shousu wailed in his heart, Li Shougui may be more handsome than himself, maybe the work on the bed is more capable than himself, so he can please the Tibetan family, but can the work on the bed represent the ability of the envoy?
Li Shougui has not yet arrived in the Song realm, and the news has been sent to the capital of the Song Dynasty.
Gao Ruone hesitated a little: "Zheng Lang, really let go of the salt road for a month?" ”
"Put, why not? If they are not let go, they will not dare to accept Tun Balgus. Only by letting go can they see hope and think that our Song Dynasty may also make a move against the Khitan, so that they can have the confidence to stalemate with the Khitan. ”
"But January Salt Road ......"
"It doesn't matter, first, there is no need for money from the imperial court, and second, some businessmen are insatiable, regardless of the rise and fall of the country, and they are responsible, and this time it is just a painful lesson for them."
