"Official, what you have done," Cui Xian said angrily!

If there is evidence to expose the truth about Zheng Lang and Zhao Niannu, it will set off a twenty-level tornado in the Song Dynasty.

But there is a premise, there must be evidence, sooner or later there will be doubts, but without evidence, they will not dare to impeach, no one will dare to destroy the future of one of the country's most important ministers, nor will they dare to take the entire royal family seriously.

The impeached person will not commit a capital crime, but his future will be completely over.

Cui Xian didn't think about this, anyway, things have happened, and they have to turn it around for the better.

Everything has a good side and a bad side, this is learned from her husband, the Yellow River burst its banks, came out of the farmland water conservancy law, Nong Zhigao plotted rebellion, governed the entire south, and the Liuta River, and finally made many ministers acquiesce to Zheng Lang's proposal.

Zhao Niannu's matter, on the bright side, can also think of a lot.

She means that Zheng Lang should not be rash, once Zhao Niannu goes back and enters the deep palace, it will be difficult for the mother and son to meet the Zheng family, at least it will be very unfair to Zhao Niannu's mother and son.

But in this regard, after a long time, Cui Xian is not angry, no matter whether the surname is Zheng or the surname Li, he is the only bloodline of the Zheng family, there are three unfilial pieties, and there is no queen the largest, Zheng Lang finally has a queen, although this queen is very troublesome.

And this son's bloodline is incomparably noble.

His Majesty took a name, called Li Gui.

It is indeed very expensive, not only a blessing, but also this bloodline, my father is the former prime minister who moved the world, and my mother is the emperor's favorite biological daughter, this bloodline is probably the Song Dynasty, and no one else wants to have.

Cui Xian said again: "Official, the concubine has thought about rights. ”

"It's come to this, there are no other rights," Zheng Lang said.

"Official, the right that the concubine says is the core of the right."

Zheng Lang was almost happy, he said the core of Confucianism, but his wife made a core of power. Q: "What is the core of rights?" ”

"The concubine was watching the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, and when she saw Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, she thought a lot. Sima Yi will definitely be disdainful and unable to do it, but Zhuge Liang can be imitated. ”

"Neither can it be imitated." Zheng Lang said categorically.

The ruler did not deny that Zhuge Liang was a good minister, but once a minister had Zhuge Liang's influence and suppressed the emperor to the death, he was also dead in the Song Dynasty.

"It's not all of him. It's a part of the imitation. The concubine looked at Zhuge Liang's life, and also thought of the life of an official, and thought of the word power. Power can be expressed in official positions, and the higher the official position, the greater the power. This is the inferiority of rights, the core of real rights. It's not an official position, it's influence and control. The official has a good relationship with His Majesty. But if you change to someone else, you will become a courtier at most, but no one can match the official achievements. Not only Your Majesty, but also many people in the government and the opposition regard officials as representatives of scholars and doctors, and models of gentlemen. Clearly lost rights. But because he knows how to advance and retreat, he has a higher status in the hearts of scholars, and his influence has increased instead of decreasing. ”

What is this, Zheng Lang listened patiently.

"This is now, and in the future, the official only accepts six students in his life," Cui Xian said, in fact, those barbarians in Guizhou Academy are also Zheng Lang's students. But Cui Xian ignored it. He added: "Sima Saburo and Wang Saburo began to stand out, and the officials wrote a letter asking them not to participate in the crown prince case. The two did not participate. Moreover, because of the knightly relationship between Her Royal Highness the princess and the official, she did not admonish. It shows that the officials still have a high status in their hearts. The Lu family Saburo also grew up very quickly, the Fan family Dalang and Erlang are also growing, Yan Rong is in charge of the safety prison because of the care of his father-in-law, and these four people have countless ties behind them, and their official status will be more stable in the future. ”

"Woe to you."

"It's a disaster, but it happened to happen to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and she had a son, which is a proof of being alive. If my family has a daughter, Your Majesty has a son, and marrying Your Majesty's son, the official will become an important relative, and others will be a good relative, and the official may become Yang Jian and Wang Mang if he is a relative, "This is an assumption, even if Zhao Zhen has a son, the ministers will not let Zhao Zhen's son marry the daughter of the Zheng family."

"It's just that he has a son with the princess, although he is a member of his relatives, he will never be able to participate in the battle for the emperor's concubine, and he is not qualified to do so. The son is the evidence of his life and the bond that brings the officials closer to the royal family. Therefore, it has become the biggest constraint and scandal in the life of an official, once the official becomes a terrible minister, and makes a statement in the court, the scandal is released, and the official can only sue the old man and return to his hometown. For the royal family, it is more reassuring to officials. And because of the connection with the royal family, the relationship is closer. Although it has become the biggest constraint in the life of officials, it has left countless space for rights to be explored. In the past, the concubine didn't know that if there was no Zhao Niannu, His Majesty would have been safe and sound, but the new emperor would succeed to the throne, and the officials would be in danger. With this matter, no matter what time the officials are, as long as they are as careful as before, they will never lose their rights. It's just that this right is not necessarily reflected through official positions. ”

That's the bright side.

On the bad side, Cui Xian didn't say it, it's not that simple.

"Don't think so much," Zheng Lang said helplessly.

Cui Xian smiled and said, "Your Highness wants to see Niangniang, it is filial piety, so leave this matter to the concubine." ”

Zhao Niannu has been to the Zheng family, many people know each other, Cui Xian will send these people who have seen Zhao Niannu, as well as Zheng Ping and Zheng Hang, and even Yue'er Xing'er together, you go outside the city to make incense for the officials.

I went to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha. Pray for three days.

A few mothers are going to let Cui Xian stay.

That's when the truth was told.

A few mothers were so young that they couldn't speak for most of the day.

In the end, Siniang reacted and said, "Bring her quickly." ”

No wonder the daughter-in-law often goes to see the unmoved clan, there are many rumors and persuasions outside, but the daughter-in-law does not listen.

Instead of bringing it, she secretly notified the Wu Yi clan and asked her to bring Zhao Niannu's mother and son to visit, and Zhao Niannu entered the Zheng family together as an inconspicuous maid.

gets along very well, Zhao Niannu is not an unreasonable princess, a very filial girl.

Several mothers are contaminated with the atmosphere of Zheng Lang and his father, as well as the infection of the eldest lady, who is low-key and benevolent, and the Zheng family has always been a small official and scholarly family, and will never do all kinds of evil deeds of Li's mother.

Met. Giving gifts to each other, Zhao Niannu gave the daughter-in-law's courtesy, forced to learn, in the Li family, Mother Li has always forced her to meet her mother-in-law, otherwise she will speak ill of each other, and she is very skillful. To a few mothers, you have to do the mother-in-law's courtesy. A few ladies didn't dare to accept it, and they worshiped the princess's gift.

Cui Xian stopped it, otherwise she would have kept saluting and returning the salute.

Several mothers forcibly left Zhao Niannu behind. is not only the princess, but also the only flesh and blood of the Zheng family, almost offering Zhao Niannu to the incense case. In just over two days, he gave Zhao Niannu a rare warmth.

At least this kind of warmth and respect, Zhao Niannu has never enjoyed in the Li family.

Jiang Xing'er and the others were coming back, so Zhao Niannu left Tanzhou in tears.

Zheng Lang silently sent them to Xiangshui. It was not publicly delivered, but it was just walking behind, all the while watching the ship disappear far into the horizon.

Several important ministers and generals returned to their posts.

Lack of money, can only save in all aspects.

In order to solve the source of funds, not only saving, Zheng Lang also relaxed various restrictions on the arrival of large businessmen.

Although Wen Yanbo will not live with his family, he does not disturb the people.

The national treasury is tight, but the private economy is booming.

Many of Zheng Lang's governance policies are aimed at the private sector, whether it is a bank or a safety supervisor. Or the expansion of the city, the improved exemption law, or the farmland and water conservancy law and the development of the south, all of which have created more commercial development.

The private sector is far better than it was at the same time in history.

For example, the deed shares of the Ping An Prison are full, but they can still be bought with money. At present, the income of the Ping An Prison has reached nearly 30 million yuan a year, half of which is distributed to the hands of major private contract stocks. 100 large shares, 10,000 small shares, and 5,000 small shares. Subdivision. And that's not all. In order to buy shares, many small and medium-sized households divide these small shares into dozens of shares. Hundreds of shares, co-fundraising entered. Later, a batch of money was obtained, but no money was raised in the early stage, and the profit of 5,000 deed shares before and after was less than 40 million. However, the Song Dynasty began to trade all kinds of banknotes, and also began to trade the deed shares of the Ping'an Prison, the cane sugar workshop and the Anmian Prison, with an average of only 8,000 yuan per share, but the market value of each banknote reached an astonishing 100,000 yuan. It's 100,000 yuan, and there is no market.

This market value caused many officials to call the state at a loss, and even later, after the 500 deed shares were sold, they only raised more than 9 million yuan from the private sector, and a small share was less than 20,000 yuan. However, in the banknote industry, it has skyrocketed more than five times.

In fact, this is a manifestation of money hoarding.

If there were no banks to attract a lot of liquidity, the market value of Ping An Jian would have risen.

Therefore, Zheng Lang relaxed some policies for large households to enter Jinghu South Road, the bad side will be serious inequality in Jinghu South Road before it starts, and the good side will solve the difficulties caused by some insufficient funds.

However, the money and silk are still insufficient, resulting in a longer time to see the results of Jinghu South Road, and there will be all kinds of mistakes in the officials' careful calculations, and the impact of slow development on the Kuixia area in the west will be even slower, and the Kuixia area has become a disadvantage of the Song Dynasty for a long time, because the money and silk are insufficient, and the task must be carefully calculated, and the task is heavier.

Zheng Lang is also helpless, he can't kill Wen Yanbo and Chen Zhizhong, and if he can kill him, he can't solve the current problem.

Then Zhang Kang was transferred to Ezhou.

It is also a very normal transfer, compared to Di Qing is a pure military general, Zhang Kang is still a jinshi, but because he offended Xu Huaide, it led to the hatred of some people, and he was spontaneously classified as a military general.

But soon after a piece of news came out.

Zhao Niannu's life and death are unknown, and after a long time, Zheng Lang also transferred back the 1,000 soldiers he sent out.

Most officials thought that she was more than lucky, including the Li family, Zhao Zhen discussed peace with the Li family, and Li's mother immediately expressed her approval. Is it impossible for a son to be widowed for a dead princess for the rest of his life?

But some officials who sympathized with the princess still secretly told their subordinates to pay attention to see if they could get away with Zhao Niannu.

Zhang Kang, as Zheng Lang's confidant, also did similar work.

Then you get the good news.

The terrain of Meishan is complicated, Wang Song has stayed on Jinghu South Road and has not left, with Zheng Lang's mission, he went to Ezhou to ask for supplies, and inadvertently met Zhao Niannu, who was dressed as a man, holding his son and taking Liang Huaiji to buy things in the market.

Zhao Niannu was a girl's house, disguised as a man, Liang Huaiji spoke in a sissy tone, and there was no Adam's apple, Wang Song and several soldiers felt very suspicious. So he went with him to inspect it.

Then I heard the conversation between the two, and Zhao Niannu said to Liang Huaiji, Xiao Jizi, the child is not filial. Let my father worry.

Liang Huaiji said, no, as soon as you go back, Your Majesty will have to let you go to the Horse Mansion and be angry with your mother-in-law. It just so happens that your son is safe and your body has recovered, go to Tanzhou to find Zheng Xianggong and let Zheng Xianggong solve this problem for you.

Zhao Niannu said, will it be difficult for Zheng Xianggong. I heard in the workshop that my father asked me to leave the Li family.

Liang Huaiji said, we are hiding here, I don't know what to do, what we hear are just some rumors, what if it's fake? Let's go to Tanzhou, besides, we were going to go to Tanzhou.

Wang Songnai was the biggest spy of the Song Dynasty. immediately determined the identities of the two, sent someone to target them, and met Zhang Kang himself.

When the person who stared at him came to a small thatched house, he had to say that the little princess was very bitter, and she had endured all kinds of hardships, so that the scholar would have more sympathy, and then there would be less impeachment.

When Zhang Kang heard the news, he led a large number of officials to arrive, but they didn't know Zhao Niannu. He asked, and after confirmation, he bowed down and saluted. In the end, I learned that Zhao Niannu was pregnant when she left home, and she was angry with Li's mother, so she wanted to come to Tanzhou to ask Zheng Lang for help.

didn't say anything about the carriage, only that the two wanted to avoid the government's interrogation, and they walked slowly. It has been a long time since he arrived in Ezhou, and at that time Zhao Niannu's belly was already big, and he didn't dare to go south again. So I bought a house in Ezhou and lived there.

Then a son was born. There are not many coils with them. Gradually, it ran out, so I had to sell the original house. I bought a small straw hut to live in. Now that the son is gradually safe, and the money is almost used up, the two bought some things for babies, and secretly discussed on the road for this matter, just so that Wang Song ran into it, and because he was engaged in scout work, Wang Song was alert and followed, only to know the final whereabouts of the princess.

But not the truth.

After Zhao Niannu arrived in Ezhou, he bought this small grass shed, but under the strict protection of several scouts, he did not suffer any hardships in life, but lived simply.

Few people knew the truth, and when they went in, all the officials who didn't know about it saw the daily necessities and the furnishings of the home, and they were extremely vulgar. This matter is very involved, it is meritorious to find the little princess, or the little princess has been in Ezhou for so long, no one finds out, and the officials are all at fault.

Therefore, seeing this vulgar environment, many officials cried and felt sorry for the princess.

Zhang Kang performed the best, crying the loudest, but he saw thunder and no rain, Zhao Niannu saw him howling, although he knew that it was deliberately arranged, he couldn't help but be happy.

This incident caused a sensation throughout Ezhou City.

Zhang Kang led the group of officials to immediately move Zhao Niannu away from this place, causing hundreds of people to watch along the way.

Then Zhang Kang and all the officials in Ezhou played together, asking His Majesty not to punish the little princess, and suffered a lot, because the money ran out, and she lived in a grass shed, and the roof began to leak as soon as it rained. I had no money, I was wearing a coarse thorn cloth skirt, and I didn't even dare to find a midwife to give birth, so I was afraid of having no money, so I asked Liang Huaiji to deliver the baby by myself with scissors. I didn't eat well, and I ate wowotou every day.

At least the scene that Ezhou officials saw was a tragic scene written in the song.

Anyway, it has become a tragic and miserable wandering history.

When he got to the middle book, Pang Ji read it and said: "The princess is too nonsense, otherwise where would she have to eat so hard." ”

Feeling Zheng Lang's affection, he favored Zhao Niannu, and sighed for a while after finishing speaking.

Fu Bi didn't dare to object, and the attitude of the two prime ministers was a sigh in the book.

This sympathy point is there.

Then Pang Ji and Fu Bi hurriedly entered the palace to report.

Zhao Zhen said angrily: "This unfilial son! ”

When Miao Guifei heard the news, she forcibly broke in, snatched the fold from Zhao Zhen's hand, and then drilled into Zhao Zhen's arms, crying: "My son, my hard-working son." ”

You have to drill tighter, otherwise it will be the same as Zhang Kang, and it will become a dry howl. But I also shed tears, anyway, my daughter has suffered a lot of hardship.

The other eunuchs in the palace didn't know the truth, and they had always been very sympathetic to Zhao Niannu, and when they saw that the song was written miserably, they also cried loudly with Miao Guifei.

The two prime ministers didn't know the truth, listening to the cry in the palace, where they stood and continued to sigh. It's too nonsense, a princess who has never been out of the palace and doesn't know the sinister feelings, and a princess who is extremely rich and ignorant of the world, how dare these two people flee without permission? It's sympathetic and a little ridiculous.

It was Pang Ji who persuaded: "Your Majesty, concubine, don't be sad anymore, it's a good thing that the princess's mother and son are safe now." ”

The matter spread, and for a few months the process was very vague, and the princess did not explain, and Zhang Kang did not dare to ask. But more rumors began to circulate among the people.

What a magical scene, and how many magnificent stories have happened in between. Especially some inns, in order to attract business, and then desperately recalled that there were so many guests, there were always one or two guests who looked similar to Zhao Niannu Liang Huaiji, and they said that the princess had stayed in my inn.

These rumors finally filled in the blank history of Zhao Niannu for several months, who would dare to think that Zhao Niannu would let Liang Huaiji be a thief and a beggar in order to survive? But it is also full of various myths and legends.

Therefore, Zhao Niannu has not returned to the capital, and the people of the world are paying attention.

When a lie is told a thousand times, it becomes the truth.

Zhao Zhen was worried about Zheng Lang, who had this incident with his daughter, and what happened to him, not because he was afraid of what would happen, but because he was afraid that if he conceived a child for Zheng Lang again, the matter would be big, and he couldn't cover it up if he wanted to. There was an edict, and there was no shift from the clan.

almost accompanied Zhao Niannu back to Beijing.

Subsequently, Zhang Kang, Wang Song and several guards were rewarded for their merits.

Zheng Lang breathed a sigh of relief, and heard that some ministers were impeached, but in the face of the surging sympathy in the world, even if there were many impeachments, it was painless and irrelevant. Zhao Niannu's difficulty was finally overcome. Zheng Lang turned his gaze to the northwest, and Cui Xian said that rights, where something happens, will really deduce the ugliness of rights.
