Chapter 264: Grief (II)

"You're saying everything is fake?"

"It's all deliberately arranged by me," Zheng Lang said lightly, someone in the coffin spoke, the lantern swayed, and the hem of his robe swung without wind, making it look like a few little ghosts were grabbing his robe and shouting grievances, and the talisman automatically rose into the air, all of which were easy to arrange.

There is nothing else in the sky, but many sounds are heard in the sky, which is a bit difficult, but there is nothing to say.

It's really nothing...... "Can you talk about ...... first?"

"Can't!" Zheng Lang didn't think about it and replied.

At least now, the project is more complicated than he imagined, although there are many people, reaching 75,000 laborers at the peak, but the river embankment, there are some river bays and deep lakes, making the polders more difficult than last year. I thought that so many people were wasting labor, but the fact is that so many people will complete the construction in days later than last year.

Taiping Prefecture is only a small state, how many officials can command?

Without enough prestige, the outcome is even worse once more chaos occurs.

Asking ghosts is a little magical and a little frightening for the people now, but it can play a role in some coercion.

But one thing can magnify it infinitely, such as the bad, some flaws, or the good, some good, and then said, "You said to Your Majesty, Master, ghosts and gods are respectful and far away, and they must keep their distance." You must not blaspheme it, people and ghosts are the same, force it with mortal bodies, blaspheme it, and approach it. This is not a ghost or a god, it is a god, and those who pretend to be gods and tricks to bewitch the king are not high-ranking monks and gods, but demons, the country will die, and demons will come out. These demons are not only the annihilators, but also these great gods. ”

The last few emperors have nothing to do, only Song Huizong, let Cai Jing and this group of immortals, what has Song Huizong become? actually let him listen to the words of the gods, it doesn't matter if the Jin people invade, as long as the gods stand on the head of the city and make a spell, scatter beans into soldiers or something, the Jin people will be destroyed.

No matter how many cases have been exchanged between ancient and modern times, no one has learned the lesson.

He also said: "The first emperor was conscientious and loved the people very much, but because of the auspicious things, he will be ashamed of the history books." ”

Wang Zhaoming didn't dare to speak.

It's still good to be a literati in the Song Dynasty, you can speak freely, you can kill the queen...... "At this time next year, the minister will bring a bigger surprise to Your Majesty." ”

"What kind of surprise...... Wang Zhaoming was very resentful, and asked until now, almost playing dumb riddles, at least if you come out through a little rumor, you can also let me go back and make a difference.

"At this time next year, Taiping Prefecture may officially pay tribute to the imperial court."

"How is that possible? You've raised so much money. ”

What was sent by the Dragon King of the East China Sea, the money must have been raised by Zheng Lang by some means, and no one in the court figured out how to repay it.

"With so much money and materials, what will Taiping Prefecture use to repay it?"

"That ......"

"The truth will be revealed next year!" When it came to this incident, Zheng Lang was very displeased, if there were no victims, why bother to make such a decision. Zhao Zhen came in person and would not say. Sugarcane, think about it, thousands of acres of sugarcane farming, how much will the field be? How many things will be pulled out of pulling on the grain? Fortunately, a series of big events will happen next year, and I can get some respite and ask the answer to the ghost riddle, which will attract some attention to some extent, and there will not be many verbose people. If this money is added, there will inevitably be many ministers who impeach themselves.

Wait.

When the truth comes out and the benefits are seen, there will be no more people to impeach.

He also said, "We are cultivating moderation. ”

"Started repairing?"

"Not yet, I have been preparing for more than a month, and I will officially start writing next spring. I mentioned an incident in the middle, saying that the situation of my Song Dynasty is very similar to the ...... of the hexagram" was lightly repeated, and said: "Although the Khitan is not as rich as our dynasty, nor is it as populous as our dynasty, the area is much larger than our dynasty, the army is stronger, and the actual national strength is higher. ”

Wang Zhaoming was speechless.

This is the deepest pain in every Song person's heart.

Eunuchs are no exception, there are not many eunuchs in the Song Dynasty, so far, there are only more than 100 people at most, and only 60 or 70 people at the least. Some eunuchs are on the battlefield, and some eunuchs are in the harem, all of which have made achievements.

At least compared to the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty eunuchs were ten times better.

"We must be united. No one, whether it is a gentleman's party or a party with real power, is not allowed to form a party, and whoever forms a party must demote him from the court and severely punish him. Zheng Lang said categorically, Fan Zhongyan can't do it, Lu Yijian can't do it, and neither can Sima Guang and Wang Anshi later.

I don't know if Ouyang Xiu will write "On the Friends of the Party", if he dares to write it, he will dare to shoot it, and when will Ouyang Xiu be filmed to death.

It is reasonable to form a party and set off a party dispute!

"Why do you talk about forming a party?" Wang Zhaoming felt incredible, how harmful was the party of Niu Li in the Tang Dynasty? Who still dares to form a party?

"Go ahead, you may see and hear when you go back."

Wang Zhaoming said goodbye in wonder.

Walking down the polder, the boatman respectfully rushed to the embankment and saluted.

"Boatman, whose salute do you respect?" Wang Zhaoming was puzzled and asked, did you also see a ghost on the embankment?

"It's Zhizhou."

"He can't see it either."

"Shhhh

Wang Zhaoming could not answer.

Although there were many disputes, and some time ago, the victims were forced to carry the Chinese letter, which also made some ministers in the DPRK and China unhappy, but I have to admit that from the perspective of the rule of officials, Zheng Lang's rule and whimsical ideas are not matched by few local officials.

I don't know if His Majesty will let me come to Taiping Prefecture again after the autumn of next year, at that time, eleven Daxu rice will be fragrant, what it should look like.

Suddenly, there was a generous and mournful sound on the shore.

Wang Zhaoming asked a guard beside him who knew how to play the piano: "What tune?" ”

The guard thought for a moment and replied, "I'm not very familiar, but I've been to Weizhong's righteous path chief and listened to a few songs, and it seems that I've heard this song, called "Mozi Sadness". ”

"Mozi Sadness?"

Legend has it that Mozi saw the white silk dyed in various colors, and lamented that innocent people lived in the world, and it was difficult for them to maintain a noble character, and in the end most people had to go with the flow. So Zheng Zhuangyuan took this origin and composed this piano music. ”

"Sad, ......" Wang Zhaoming looked at the few thatched sheds where Zheng Lang lived on the embankment, the boat was moving forward, and the straw sheds were getting smaller and smaller in front of him, gradually blending into the heaven and earth, into the long causeway like an oolong, and muttered.

…… Just when the embankments in Taiping Prefecture were closed, major events in the capital happened again.

Guo Shi of Changning Palace was sick and sent the imperial doctor to see him, Yan Wenying took the medical officer of the Imperial Medicine Institute to see the doctor, and Guo died violently a few days later. There is also a figure here, the leader of the Imperial Medicine Academy is none other than Yan Wenying's godson Yan Shiliang, that is, the person who drove the Chen family out of the palace. Zhao Zhen happened to hold a memorial ceremony in the southern suburbs, and when he returned to the palace, he was very sad to hear about Guo's death, and posthumously recognized his ex-wife as the queen.

Statements on the countertop.

Whoever can be replaced, as long as you know the inside story a little, will be suspicious.

Guo Shi was killed by Yan Wen! can't go back to the palace, once he comes back, Yan Wenying will not be able to eat and walk around, besides, his son is still the commander of the imperial hospital. He himself was on the scene. Some people even suspect that Guo's illness is Yan Wenying's doing. Otherwise, Zhao Zhen will recall her soon, how can she get sick when she is in a good mood?

But how is this case investigated?

Or an autopsy on Kwok?

At this time, I thought of a person, Zheng Lang, but he himself admitted that asking ghosts was done with hands and feet, otherwise how good it would be to ask ghosts, recall him to the capital, and ask Guo's soul, who killed you, Yan Wenying, you can't run away.

However, this is the queen, don't forget, tens of millions of people of the Song Dynasty in the world are the "sons" of the queen, and "mother" was killed inexplicably, can you accept it? Taichen asked Lu Yijian to change, most of them were Lu Yijian's cronies.

That's not okay, such things are silent, so is the surname Lu or Zhao in the world?

The officials Yao Zhongsun and Gao Ruone were impeached: "The fate is to stay in the Zhaitai Temple, and Wen Ying is the medical officer, and the reputation is there; Guo Hou is violent, and there is no doubt at home and abroad that Wen should be poisoned; Please come out of the good way. ”

It's too spoofed.

Could it be that Yan Wen should shout at the imperial doctor with a loud noise of one hundred and twenty decibel in the palace: "You must feed this poison to the Guo family, otherwise Lao Tzu will take your life?" ”

If you don't reach this decibels, how can you hear and do it? Let you two Yanchen hear it?

Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly and shook his head when he saw it, I admit that you are loyal ministers and the sun, but don't insult my IQ, this can't be used as evidence, not only is it not evidence, it's purely a spoof, just like Shi Jie's slander himself.

So Yan Wenying was safe and sound.

All the gentlemen went crazy together.

Take the lead in the big brother to come forward.

I don't want evidence, but I don't need evidence for some things!

Fan Zhongyan called his eldest son Fan Chunyou, Lu Yijian's four sons are good, and Fan Zhongyan's four sons are also good, which makes Zheng Lang sometimes think of laughter. Then he said to the firstborn, "I will not overcome, but I will die." ”

Leave everything in the family to you, and once I die, you will take care of this home for me.

Then start refusing to eat.

We don't fight, we don't quarrel, it's useless, use this strongest trick. Emperor, you can do it, either Yan Wen should die, or the minister should die, let you choose.

Zhao Zhen was a little dizzy and asked the guards, is it a real hunger strike or a fake hunger strike? Can that still be fake?

In two or three days, Zhao Zhen had no choice but to exile Yan Wenying to Lingnan, but it was strange that not long after leaving the capital, Yan Wenying died violently. Zheng Lang also had doubts about this matter, Yan Wenying couldn't get out of it, and Lu Yijian also participated, but Zhao Zhen's previous tacit vision was also a little wrong, after all, it was his own wife!

Not only is it abnormal, Yan Wenying just died in the front, and Lu Yijian was named the Duke of Shen Guo in the back, and Wang Zeng was the Duke of Yiguo.

But Zhao Zhen's edict completely angered Fan Zhongyan.

What Yan Wen should be, just a small minion, such as the three brothers of the He family in the arson case!

The real murderer behind the scenes is Lu Yijian.

Then, in his spare time, he took advantage of the convenience of opening and sealing the government Yin's position, and began to sort out a "Hundred Officials Map", which pointed out the list of promotions and relocations of hundreds of civil and military officials after Lu Yijian took power, those officials were promoted normally, those officials were abnormal, and those officials were Lu Yijian's one-handed cover of the sky, and they rose and descended secretly.

Right?

That's right. Lu Yijian saw that Wang Zeng was transferred to Dongfu and transferred Fan Zhongyan back to the capital, realizing that he was in trouble and coming to prison, he did send many cronies into various departments, including Taige, otherwise there was no way to do things.

So many officials have sorted out their layers of relationships, only Fan Zhongyan has this ability, other officials don't think about how many people they will offend after handing it over, only Fan Zhongyan has the guts!

On the picture, in exchange for Lu Yijian's eight-character review: Zhongyan is broad, and the name is not substantial.

The evaluation has been over, but at this time, Fan Zhongyan is indeed only worthy of the word broad.

After seeing these eight words, Fan Zhongyan was puzzled, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, in the end there was only one possibility, the world was too dark, Lu Yijian's methods were too thick and black, Zhao Zhen was a young man who didn't know about affairs, so Lu Yijian was deceived, his wife was killed, and he didn't know how to be sober!

I spent a few months sorting out the picture of 100 officials to get this eight-character evaluation, and I was not convinced, so I went into four more arguments to dedicate: one is "The Emperor is good", the second is "Selecting the Virtuous and Appointing the Ability", the third is "Near Name", and the fourth is "Pushing the Committee", which probably refers to current politics. He also said: "Emperor Han Cheng believes in Zhang Yu and does not suspect his uncle's family, so there is Wang Mang's rebellion." The minister is afraid that the court also has Zhang Yu's bad family law, and it is necessary to distinguish it as soon as possible. ”

During the decades of Wang Mang's rise, it was the minister Zhang Yu who tried his best to keep the Wang family safe, and in the end, the Wang family was five years old and had no way to control it. Lu Yijian is now appointed indiscriminately, without paying attention to principles, maybe he will hide Wang Mang that day, wash the Zhao family in blood, and destroy the Song Dynasty.

This is a fatal blow, Lu Yijian was furious, Lao Tzu treats you well, since you returned to the capital, I have been messing with me, I greeted you in private, I didn't listen, and pushed you to be the capital Yin, and still didn't forgive me. Since you don't let me go, I won't let you go either.

said to Zhao Zhen that Fan Zhongyan overstepped his duties, recommended friends, and divided the monarch and ministers.

You are now the governor of the capital, not a minister, and there are some things that you should not say.

Fan Zhongyan is not convinced, I am not a minister, but also a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty! At this time, he was not fighting alone, there was also a group in the capital, Li Rong, Wang Zhen, Yu Jing, Yin Zhu, Ouyang Xiu, etc., they were all idle, but they had a common characteristic, good learning, high learning, ambition, flourishing, and high spirits.

They are leading the big brother in the battle against the powerful evil forces, how can they sit back and watch the big brother suffer?

One after another.

Although their official positions are small, they can have a huge influence among the people, and the articles written by each of them are dazzling, and the poems are sung all over the world as soon as they are published.

Lu Yijian frightened them on the spot.

I have to kill this crooked wind and say that Fan Zhong drowned his friends.

When the True Friends arrived, no one paid attention. The friends party just started, and they were all very nervous, even if it was Fan Zhongyan, Zhao Zhen didn't want to see the word friends. But Ouyang Xiu didn't know it, the friends were friends, and it was an honor to be Fan Zhongyan's friend and a gentleman's party! Wang Zhen even said publicly: "Xiwen sage, I have to be a friend, fortunately." ”

Continue to help Fan Zhongyan quarrel.

Is the power of the crowd really powerful? Look at Zheng Lang fighting alone, and he didn't lose much as a result. Without him, he does not make friends, does not form a party, fights for things, and conforms to the legal system of his ancestors. Although Zhao's spokesman is not guilty, there are even more different opinions!

If you really want most of the people in the court to support Fan Zhongyan and form a force, this kind of small group is not powerful, but it has a bad omen, which is the worst. Especially Wang Zhen's words, you are not helping Fan Zhongyan, but harming Fan Zhongyan, and it is even more true that Fan Zhongyan formed a friend and formed a party!

In the end, Zhao Zhen was punished, took Fan Zhongyan from all the Beijing officials, and was demoted to Raozhou to be the governor.

At this moment, Fan Zhongyan felt that the sky was falling, no, I have dealt with the emperor for a long time, not as Shi Jie said, a good emperor. But why can't you listen to my good words? Instead, demoted me to Raozhou!

I'm not afraid of being relegated to Raozhou.

This is more clean than Zheng Lang, Zheng Lang just didn't accept Zhao Zhen's officials, but in order to do practical things, some time is also involved.

Fan Zhongyan was extremely depressed, thinking of a person, whether it was prestige, prestige, fame and seniority, or weight in the eyes of the emperor, he was above Lu Yijian. Why didn't he say a word all the time.

It is also not right to help the abuse, to sit idly by and watch the sin expand, and it is also wrong.

Besides, this person still has the strength to fight against the evil force of Lu Yijian.

So he went up to the door, and the great transmutation began. It was this transformation that made him, along with Yue Fei and Wen Tianxiang, the three most famous ministers of the Song Dynasty.

At the same time, this transformation also made him leave Ouyang Xiu, Han Qi, and Wen Yanbo far behind.

When he came to Wang Zeng's mansion, Fan Zhongyan asked: "Wang Xianggong, as the prime minister, you should promote the righteousness of the scholars, this is the duty of the prime minister, but you stand by and watch, let your virtue have defects!" ”

You are no one else, since the Heavenly Sage, you have fought wits and law with Ding Wei, and you have not forgiven Empress Dowager Liu, you have been the prime minister for seven years, and you are expected to be virtuous in the world, so you can't do this.

Why did this happen, and you didn't say a word from beginning to end?

Wang Zeng looked at him quietly, and then said softly: "The husband and the ruler, who will return the favor to himself, and who will the grievance be?" ”

It's twelve words again, but it's like twelve thunderbolts exploding in Fan Zhongyan's ears!
