Deng Baoji didn't know what to do, and after seeing the four words, he said, "Your Majesty, who wants to rebel?" ”

"It's not a rebellion, it's a deficit of 300 million, 300 million, only four years." After Zhao Ji finished speaking, he hugged his head in annoyance, and he was in pain.

"300 million," Deng Baoji was also dumbfounded, and said, "How did you lose it?" ”

This answer is what makes Zhao Ji the most depressed, it can't be said that it is not only the fault of the two governments, but also his father's fault, and the fault is very serious. This is like a family, Lao Tzu has money, his son enjoys happiness, Lao Tzu has no money, he owes a butt, and the son can only pay it back obediently, what can he say about Lao Tzu?

Deng Baoji was still scratching his head, he couldn't figure it out, 300 million, what a huge number, most of the day later, he said: "Your Majesty, what's wrong, the country can still have a surplus of more than 40 million yuan a year in the past few years......"

Here and outside, that is, a loss of more than 100 million in a year.

"Don't say any more," Zhao shouted.

Deng Baoji retreated, immediately got up and went to Zhengzhou, understood, this is the case, it is strange that the emperor does not shout for help.

Zheng Lang saw the four big characters, raised his head and asked, "Deng Neishi, is it because of finance?" ”

"It's still Zheng Gong who is smart," Deng Baoji said, a smart person is a smart person, and when he saw the emperor writing these four words, he thought that someone wanted to harm the emperor.

"How's the finances?"

"Gong Zheng, I don't know, I just heard the emperor say that the country has lost 300 million," Deng Baoji said with great caution, the country has such a big deficit, and it has to rely on the famous minister in front of him. Don't dare to be disrespectful.

"Three hundred million?"

"Maybe more?"

Zheng Lang frowned, he knew that it couldn't be tens of millions, but this number was also unexpected by him. pondered for a while, of course, not because of the financial worries, last year's financial crisis in the Song Dynasty had already affected ordinary people.

When Zhao Zhen died. Thousands of empty alleys. Weep for it. When Zhao Shu died. The common people continued to set off firecrackers in the capital to celebrate the Spring Festival and be jubilant. I almost carried firecrackers in front of the imperial city.

This is a superficial phenomenon.

The economy of the Song Dynasty was also hurt internally, and the rich households that could be "borrowed" were mainly second, third and fourth and other households. That is, the middle class who have some money in their hands but no power or power. It cannot be said that the Song Dynasty did not do well, China hurt the middle class almost most of the time, and even if the poor people pressed it, they could not press any money. Therefore, when it came to the second and third class households. He began to find ways to accumulate money, and the more money he had, the more powerful he was, which in turn could effectively protect himself. Or catch a son-in-law under the list and catch a good son-in-law.

But where do these extraordinary outgoings go? Part of it is waste, mainly through various channels to return to the hands of various elites.

This will make the economy of the Song Dynasty farther and farther away from the healthy economy he envisioned, and the gap between the rich and the poor will be even greater.

Zheng Lang is not very clear about how Zhao Ji and Wang Ansi solved this problem in history, after all, many extraordinary expenses were embezzled by the palace and Zhao Shu himself. This account can never be made public. And part of the "loan" will probably not be repaid.

But the most untrustworthy thing about the Song Dynasty is the history of the Shenzong Dynasty, which has been tampered with over and over again, not only tampering. It was also openly tampered with, so that after Zhezong came to power. Seeing Song Shenzong's actual record angrily reprimanding Huang Tingjian and Fan Zuyu, the two replied with rumors. Zhezong reprimanded again: The words have been seen, Shi Chen dares to be so slow and disrespectful? You are cultivating the actual record, not looking at the existing texts, in order to belittle me Laozi and Wang Anshi, you only listen to rumors and speculation about the history, are you going too far?

Because Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu were both anti-deviant factions, many mistakes were hidden by later scholars.

Seriously check the history books, you can still find a point, for example, in just two years of peace, there was a deficit of nearly 120 million, Zhao Ji and Wang Anshi were forced to change the law to collect money, Han Qi Luoli was verbose, Wang Anshi was angry, and displayed the folds he wrote one by one to refute them.

Angry.

Ouyang Xiu went down, unwillingly, making trouble below, and the small report kept talking, but Zhao Zhen ignored him all the time.

So this history is very vague.

There is little point in borrowing.

Compared with history, this time, because of his own promotion, the attack was fast and the scale was larger, but the time was short, and it harmed the people, and it has not caused extremely bad damage. Everything can be in time, thinking of this, he looked at Deng Baoji and said: "It's already the new monarch." ”

"Gong Zheng, I understand. The financial corruption is mainly due to the failure of the Chinese book. Deng Baoji said flatteringly. This is a statement, Han Qi and I are not all the way.

Zheng Lang still stared at the eight big characters and said: "I will write a secret recital, and you will bring it back to the palace, and you can't let anyone know about it except the emperor." ”

"Gong Zheng, don't worry."

Zheng Lang began to save Zhao Ji's life, but first wrote another thing, let Zhao Ji meet and reuse his cousin Li Zunxuan's grandson Li Duanyuan, it is best to let him guard the forbidden army inside and outside the palace.

Deng Baoji said in surprise: "There are really people who want to be unfavorable to Your Majesty?" ”

"Definitely," Zheng Lang said, Deng Baoji asked, just let him talk, after all, it is a secret music that must be archived, and it is not easy to write on the fold, and said: "The Tang Dynasty has hundreds of thousands of invincible armor soldiers in the world, and the Ming Emperor only led a few hundred slaves to take down Wei Shuren, Princess Anle and Shangguan Wan'er in one fell swoop." Because of the first soldiers, the palace incident happened suddenly, and the whip was out of reach. If someone wants to rebel in our court, but it is not easy, Xifu has the right to transfer troops, but there are no soldiers in their hands, and the Sanya has soldiers in their hands, but they have no right to transfer troops. Even if the Xifu and the Sanya have the same opinion, the edict of the two systems must be passed. However, at this time and at that time, the system has been destroyed more than a few years ago, and several important ministers of the court dared to be dismissed with just a cursive letter. In the extraordinary autumn, the heart of harming people is indispensable, and the heart of preventing people is indispensable. ”

Zheng Lang is not afraid that Deng Baoji will learn from Zhang Yan (Yang Yi's brother-in-law, Kou Zhun is ready to make Zhao Zhen the crown prince, it is this person who is drunk and leaked), this black hole is magnified, and any eunuch does not dare to stand on Han Qi's side.

"Gong Zheng, I understand," Deng Baoji said solemnly.

Theoretically, the redundant system of the Song Dynasty has made it impossible for the minister to rebel, but it is not easy to say, Han Qi and Wen Yanbo are secretly complicit, and they have led troops in the northwest for many years, many generals in the three yas are from the account of the two, there was originally a draft edict of the two systems, and now even the two systems do not need to be agreed, and the Zhongshu dares to forcibly issue an edict, if Han Qi is not treacherous, anything can happen.

Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu would not have fallen to such a point. I just want to be nostalgic for power. But take precautions. It's better than not being guarded. There is no Zheng Lang in history, and now that there is Zheng Lang in danger, God knows if Han Qi will be confused?

Li Duanyuan is very loyal to Zhao Shu, but his relationship with Han Qi is not very good. Even because Han Qi did not agree with him entering the West Mansion, he was a little hateful. This person is the best person to defend the palace at this time.

First get Zhao Ji's safety right, and then write down to business.

Same as Zhao Ji. He rubbed his head in a hurry, the problem was more serious than he imagined, it was to reach the goal, almost all of it was broken, but this was too bad.

Deng Baoji was also shaking his head, no wonder the ministers have a lot of opinions on the Chinese book, can you not be in a hurry to let the country change to this point? He thought of Zheng Lang's heart again, and sure enough, ten years of trees. A hundred years of people, people will change. The older Pang Ji gets, the hotter he gets, the older this Han Gong gets, the more mediocre he becomes.

Zheng Lang meditated for a long time and began to write.

First of all, comfort Zhao Ji, this kid has a good heart, but he is a little frizzy in doing things, and the more he is at this time, the more he can't be in a hurry. Therefore, I wrote an account, I don't know how the three divisions calculated, whether the bank's income was included. If not, the picture is not so pessimistic. Last year, Han Qi was asked to get a little bit of dividends of 16 million yuan, and this year, the bank took out another sum of money for the mountain expenses. can't favor one over the other, Yan Rong and Zheng Lang don't have the courage to do so. If you want to pay off the debts of the river workers plus interest, you can't do it this year.

This is the cost of the river workers, and it should also be counted in the income. In the next year, it can be taken out and used, and if it is a big deal to increase shares later, then you can earn more than 20 million yuan a year. There will also be an additional eunuch in the future, I don't know how much the income will be, but it can reach at least half of the safety prison.

Give Zhao Ji a little confidence first.

Then let Zhao Ji invite someone to come to the DPRK to discuss, Fu Bi.

Let Zhao Ji talk to Fu Bi in detail.

Why, Zheng Lang did not elaborate.

Next, I said another thing, whenever Zheng Lang saw the history of the Shenzong Dynasty, he was extremely resentful, especially how to solve the deficit of the Zhao Shu Dynasty, and he couldn't find it at all. It can't be said that the tampering of the ministers later also had Zhao Xu's own reasons, because most of the deficits were related to Zhao Shu, and Zhao Ji took the lead in covering up the matter.

It can't be concealed, such a serious deficit is terrible, and if it is concealed, it is even more terrible. Why is there a deficit, this is the fault of the Chinese book. Since Zhao Zhen has seen the accounts, he has also seen the account books of the late Zhao Zhen Dynasty. Look at the support of Pang Ji as the prime minister in the DPRK, and then look at the support of Han Qi as the prime minister in the court, you must know how many jobs and deputy output value were created by the huge river workers at that time, if one can be in the DPRK, it is not a decrease in income, but an increase in income of one or two million yuan a year.

Compare it to see how important the Chinese book is.

To be wrong is to make a mistake. You can't hide it, you have to let everyone know the truth and work together. Crisis is life, but this crisis wraps it up, not only is it life, but a clarion call for death.

It's not Zhao Shu's fault, the first emperor has always been sick, and all political affairs have been handed over to the two governments, so there is such a big leak, what does it have to do with the first emperor? There is no need for Zhao Ji to feel embarrassed and cover it up. This is very unfair to Han Qi, Han Qi is at fault, but when it comes to responsibility, Han Qi can only account for 20% of the mistakes, Zhao Shu accounts for at least 40%, and the other 40% is the system of the Song Dynasty!

But Zheng Langguan is unfair to Han Qigong!

Deng Baoji watched Zheng Lang write the recital, and when he saw this, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Yes, the first emperor still loves the people very much, and Han Gongzhi is weightless." ”

Zheng Lang didn't say anything, and continued to write. The country's financial problems are serious, because it has not made good use of talents, and if you want to make good use of talents, the first one is to find Zhang Fangping, and the second one is another person, Wang Anshi. But Zheng Lang didn't expect Wang Anshi to change the law, but asked Wang Anshi to plug this loophole first, and not let it expand. After his worries have passed, he will return to the court to assist His Majesty in resolving the financial crisis.

Deng Baoji said: "No. ”

If you wait for Ding to be worried, it will take more than two years, in case Zheng Lang's six mothers and seven mothers have any accidents, how can it be done?

Zheng Lang didn't say anything.

I told Sima Guang last year that it would not be possible for three years, but it would be at least one year long, and the world would not discuss it. Having a reputation is both a good thing and a bad thing, forcing yourself to set an example in everything.

He brought another piece of paper and said, "This is the second secret recital, not only for the emperor, but also for the two queen mothers." ”

"Okay."

It is written about the education of Zhao Ji. If you become an emperor, you also have to be educated, look at Zhao Zhen in his old age, and ask the important ministers to go to the palace to speak, and then he will grow into a generation of Ming Jun. The first emperor died, and he went too early. The emperor was in the East Palace for a short time. Not ready to succeed to the throne. This will be very bad for the emperor. That's from the heart.

Zhao Shu died early. But Zhao Ji hasn't grown up yet, so he has a frizzy change.

used the story of himself and Zhao Zhen to tell things, when he was a teenager, he entered the palace by himself. Said to Zhao Zhen, are you ready to be the emperor? It's old-fashioned, but I didn't really understand it at the time. But I can't say that I did something wrong, Zhao Zhen was twenty-three years old at that time. After many years of polishing by Liu E, Zhao Ji is only nineteen years old now, and his formal education, including more than a year with himself, is only five years, far less than Zhao Zhen. But it was Zhao Zhen at that time, who had only been in power for a few years, how many mistakes he made and how many actions he had made out of proportion, and as a result, he was tired and seriously ill. Government affairs have not yet been properly handled.

Therefore, the emperor also has to strengthen education. It also needs to be educated.

Zheng Lang recommended the two, Lu Gongshu and Fan Chunren, because they have gentle personalities.

However, these two people were degraded because of the Puyi dispute, and they had to avoid suspicion, the first emperor collapsed, and it was not good to recall the court. Can be placed at a later date.

Now there are also, Sima Guang and Zhang Fangping, Zeng Gongliang can also be. The three of them were all important ministers of the emperor, and they could take time to go to the palace from time to time to give lectures.

This point is very important, so important that it is more important than the huge black hole of the country, writing here, he suddenly stopped, and added another sentence, if the emperor listens to the words of his ministers and summons Fu Bi into Beijing, it is best to let Fu Bi also enter the palace to speak.

Deng Baoji was speechless, if that's the case, if there is a Zheng Lang in the future, he will be the most luxurious royal lecturer in the history of the Song Dynasty.

Then he sealed the two secret letters with fire paint, and said to Deng Baoji: "Go back quickly, and bring two more sentences to the emperor, first, the plan now, first stabilize the ministers, so that the state power can be smoothly handed over." Second, if you are not afraid of making mistakes, you are afraid of making mistakes and not knowing how to correct them, or blindly correcting them. ”

"Whoa." Deng Baoji didn't dare to delay, even now, Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu plus Wen Yanbo, the strength of the three of them was still extraordinary.

Quickly returned to the palace and handed over the two secret letters.

After reading it, Zhao Tao handed it to Gao Taotao, and Gao Taotao said after reading it: "Xu'er, Zheng Qing thinks about it for a long time, and he can't even mourn the family, so he should obey it." ”

Zhao Ji immediately issued several edicts, first issued an edict to let Li Duanyuan enter the palace, and then let him enter the Sanya. Although Han Qi was displeased, the officials of the two systems were very happy and immediately drafted the edict.

Then passed on the decree, let Sima Guang and Zhang Fangping enter the palace to speak, and let Ouyang Xiu enter the palace at any time to speak, this is Gao Tao's idea. Before the regime is stabilized, the ministers of the two ministries must be stabilized.

He also summoned Fu Bi to Beijing, but did not mention any position.

But it is this edict that already gives people a kind of reverie.

First of all, Liu Zhen impeached Ouyang Xiu Zifu case, and the ministers had to wear mourning clothes when they entered the Funing Palace. Ouyang Xiu was also wearing mourning clothes, because it was early spring, he wore a lot of clothes, and he was still wearing his purple official uniform under the mourning clothes.

happened to be seen by Liu Zhen, why are you also a close minister of the first emperor, and you are actually mourning on the outside and purple, where is the heart of loyalty and filial piety?

This is Ouyang Xiu's famous purple robe case.

Many people in later generations defended Ouyang Xiu, saying that Ouyang Xiu was wronged by traitors. Liu Zhen is a traitor? The moral character is several times better than Ouyang Xiu's.

It must be a mistake, but this mistake is the problem, think about it, if Ouyang Xiu was so loyal to Zhao Shu, could he make such a serious mistake?

Liu Zhen was impeached on the spot, and Zhao Ji sent someone to call Ouyang Xiu aside and asked him to take off the dazzling purple court clothes.

This is the case.

As Zhao Ji summoned Fu Bi to Beijing, everyone finally smelled an unusual atmosphere.

I still don't understand Zhao Ji's intentions, so I didn't mention the Pu Yi case, and I didn't say that Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu were traitors. It's another thing. Xue Liangru, a cousin of Ouyang Xiu's wife, will be pardoned and pardoned because the person he protended was impeached because he was impeached for corruption, but Ouyang Xiu solemnly stated that he could not be spared because he was his relative.

Ouyang Xiu is definitely not as noble as the later generations said, but it is not like Zheng Lang's heart at this time, almost Cai Jing and Qin Hui are together.

But this case has nothing to do with Ouyang Xiu's selflessness.

Ouyang Xiu is unlikely to do many selfless things, the main internal contradictions of this family are complex, outsiders can't imagine, Ouyang Xiu, Wang Gongchen, and Xue Kui's sons have their own contradictions, and the whole son is not like a relative.

What is Ouyang Xiu's relationship with Xue Zongru? Everyone only knows kinship. The rest is impossible to know.

Xue Zongru was then implicated. Removal from official positions. So from then on, he hated Ouyang Xiu more than Wang Gongchen.

Ouyang Xiu's eldest son, Ouyang Fa, married Wu Chunyan, the daughter of Wu Chong, the deputy envoy of Yantie. Ouyang Fa is less than thirty, and Ouyang Xiu is sixty years old. However, Ouyang Xiu is famous all over the world, at least in terms of talent. Ouyang Fa was far behind. Wu Yu and Wu Chong's brothers are also quite talented, and under the influence of their father, Wu Chunyan has loved wind and snow since she was a child. After marrying into Ouyang's family, I read the articles written by my husband. Let's take a look at the article written by my father-in-law. Therefore, a heart of love is transferred to the father-in-law.

For a long time, the two had some improper relationships.

The truth may not be known, it is just groundless, at least one hole is true, it is not true, it is possible that Ouyang Xiu and Wu Chunyan behaved a little intimately, which caused some bad rumors outside.

Xue Liangru has a friend, Liu Xin's son Jixian School Manager Liu Jin, this person is not a bad official, not only Liu Jin. None of the officials who impeached Ouyang Xiu were really bad. Liu Xin has never been evil in his life. Just because he couldn't get used to seeing the scholars and doctors abusing Di Qing, he said a few fair words for Di Qing, and was impeached by Ouyang Xiu and others. It's not a real impeachment, but there are few mistakes in impeachment, and more of them are framed. Liu Xin left the phase from then on, and finally died in depression and not long after.

But now the doctor's mouth is like the hole under the buttocks, turning over and over, saying that Di Qing is a good person. What kind of attitude does Liu Jin have towards Ouyang Xiuhui? The two got together and poured out Ouyang Xiu's bitter water, and Xue Liangru told the scandal in Ouyang Xiu's family, so the two joined forces to publicize it.

It was also transmitted to the Yushitai, Peng Siyong brainwashed Jiang Zhiqi all day long, Jiang Zhiqi once befriended Ouyang Xiu in order to rise to the top in his career, and echoed the emperor's proposal, but he did not do well. But this person is definitely not a wicked person, on the contrary, he will do a lot in the future and be regarded as a good official.

After Peng Siyong's repeated brainwashing, the court said that Ouyang Xiu and Han Qi were treacherous, Jiang Zhiqi was eager to prove his innocence, and when he heard Peng Siyong's statement, he wrote a piece of music overnight and submitted it.

As soon as the music was folded, the ministers were in an uproar.

The first Jiang Zhiqi was Ouyang Xiu's protégé, and the second Ouyang Xiu had an incest scandal a few years ago.

Looking at this impeachment recital, Zhao Ji's face darkened for the first time. Five years ago, Ouyang Xiu didn't leave a good impression on Zhao Ji. When the river work was about to end, it was the time to pick peaches, Zheng Lang went home to worry about it, and took the initiative to give credit to Ouyang Xiu. As soon as Ouyang Xiu arrived in Yunzhou, he challenged himself and Zheng Lang.

Then entered the East Palace, Zheng Langto's wife Cui Xian transferred to himself, and deliberately hinted, sure enough, Ouyang Xiu deliberately gave it to his two younger brothers, and his father was not in good health, so he immediately changed the direction of the wind. Of course, Zheng Lang has also said it, and he has said it several times, you can't expect everyone to be like Fan Zhongyan, and you can't use the minister with this idea. Most officials are good at drilling camps, and the more senior officials are, the more powerful they are in drilling camps, otherwise it is extremely difficult to get on the top. After all, there are very few ministers who have a friendship like Zheng Lang and Zhao Zhen. If we want to use good people, we must tolerate some bad and ugly behaviors of these officials, and we must look at their shortcomings and, more importantly, their strong points.

Zhao Ji still couldn't think about it.

His psychology is very simple, he is not afraid of real villains, he is afraid of hypocrites, the more Ouyang Xiu reiterates holy virtues, the more he is not used to it. After a few years of caution, he had some rebellious mentality, and whispered with a recital: "This person can be punished." ”

It's angry talk, and there have been disputes in the history books for this. said that he said it, but he didn't really want to kill Ouyang Xiu, and he couldn't kill him, not killing the scholar doctor was the ancestral family law!

I went to the harem with the chapter and looked for Gao Taotao.

Zheng Lang's secret performance inspired him, and if he wanted to correct his father's name, he had to put on the heads of these two people. It's not my father's fault, it's the instigation of these two traitors. Besides, how can that super black hole be remedied?

Zhao Shu is dead, autumn is coming, and it's time to settle accounts!

Gao Tao finished reading the chapter, and watched it again with interest, daring to watch it as a gossip.

Looking at his mother's pair of Danguan eyes and smiling into moon buds, Zhao Ji had black sweat on his face and said, "Queen Mother." ”

Your mentality is very wrong.

Gao talked about music, put down the recital, and watched his son come to his senses, and immediately became serious, and said: "Xu'er, what is the real thing, and what is the fake one?" ”

"There is a difference, if it is true, private morality is a major fault."

"So how do you tell the real from the fake?"

Zhao Ji was speechless, catching thieves and stolen goods, catching traitors in bed, that is, sending people to interrogate, Ouyang Xiu and Wu Chunyan did not admit whether they were alive or dead, could they put the daughter of an important minister, a governor in prison, and torture to extract a confession?

Gao said: "You can ask Jiang Zhiqi." ”

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment and asked: "Queen Mother, since it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, why do you want to ask?" ”

"When it's over, why ask, think about it yourself." Gao Tao thought of Zheng Lang's secret words again, and he couldn't relax about the emperor's education. Either don't report it, or ask if it's true or not. But the difference between the two is very different.

PS: The deficit in the second year of Zhiping in history is nearly 120 million, and I don't know how much the total deficit is. Because of the deliberate erasure of the history books, there is no record of how these deficits were repaid. But there is one article, Wang Anshi changed the law, a section forcibly looted more than 160 million to 180 million for the country a year, if according to the Zhao Zhen Dynasty's use, 120 million or 30 million can also be used, during the Hehuang War, Wang Shao's actual use of troops is really very small, as will be written later, the use is not large, and the granary is also prepared, but when the drought comes, the imperial court disaster relief is not very good. Maybe it's because the drought is severe, maybe it's because the treasury surplus is not much, is it possible that the previous surplus was used to repay it? It's really not clear. Fortunately, I started to write from Zhao Zhenchao, and if I use this technique to write from Zhao Zhenchao, just research, it will give me a headache and I don't know how to write. (To be continued.) )
