Two dozen ministers brought in

Zhao Zhen asked angrily: "Who is it, who wants to break my arm?" ”

Once the four proverbs are spread, Zheng Lang's career is over, and he can only be a minister of soy sauce in the future. Otherwise, it will be necessary to "die" with the Zhao family. There is a result and a reason, the four proverbs are aimed at Zheng Lang, and there is no one else who wants to benefit, one is the ruler of the two governments, and he doesn't want Zheng Lang to threaten their rights in the future, and the other is that Yanchen can't get used to Zheng Lang's various practices in the south, and he can't find it when he is looking for trouble, so he has to come up with four proverbs first. With proverbs, it will be easy to impeach Zheng Lang again. Even in the future, this Zheng Diezhao will be moved out at every turn, and Zheng Lang will only have a gray face.

As for Di Qing, Zhao Zhen really didn't think about it. In the Song Dynasty, a military general never had the right to speak.

Dozens of ministers looked at each other.

Zhao Zhen didn't say a proverb, but he knew that it was for a proverb.

Fu Bi said: "Your Majesty, the edict is strictly investigated, this person is too shameless. ”

Political struggle is inevitable, Xiao He and Cao Shen are the two great sages of the Western Han Dynasty. At the beginning of the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the three great sages Yao Chong, Song Jing, and Zhang said, they also fought to the death.

Li Linfu was nailed to the pillar of shame, but when analyzed, the reason why he bewitched Li Longji and did not care about political affairs was nothing more than to want to hold great power and use Hu people as envoys for moderation, and also to prevent Han Chen from making meritorious contributions in the frontier and returning to serve as prime minister, thus threatening his regime. But he didn't want the Tang Dynasty to collapse and collapse in his heart, in order to deal with government affairs, he took the quilt to the political affairs hall, and rarely even went back to his home, so he slept in the political affairs hall, and few people could be diligent in government. In fact, when he was in phase. The Tang Dynasty showed no signs of decline, and Li Linfu did not want to have the idea of plotting to usurp the throne. All for one word, right.

The fight must also be measured, and even Zheng Diezhao can't get it out, as soon as this precedent is opened, you can imagine the cruelty of the court in the future.

Liang Shi said: "Your Majesty, don't be angry. In the opinion of the ministers, they sent people to investigate strictly, and this sentence did not come out for a long time. If you check carefully, you will eventually be able to find clues. Secondly, the minister has two opinions, the first of which may not be the act of the court minister. Your Majesty is wise, and if the matter is exposed, Your Majesty will punish him heavily, and the gains outweigh the losses. The minister thought that it might be the work of the enemy. ”

"The country?"

"The minister doesn't know, but the role of secret agents should not be underestimated, a few secret agents in the special agent battalion turned the Khitan and Western Xia upside down, just spreading a few rumors, and the two cannot be compared."

It seems to make sense, especially the Tanguts. Even the palace people released by Zhao Zhen were bribed, almost doing everything, Zhao Zhen pondered for a while and said, "What about the second one?" ”

"The second article is that in the opinion of the minister, Di Qing can be recalled to the Jingshi. Nong's rebellion was almost completely extinguished. The remaining barbarian tribes did not listen to the imperial court's mobilization, and Zheng Lang's performance in the Battle of the Follower Dao was enough to extinguish these tribes. And Nong's ingratitude is so rare for thousands of years, and Di Qing can also escort Nong's mother and Nong Zhigao back to the capital to show warning. Di Qing returned to Beijing. Rumors are self-defeating. ”

"Nong's ......" Zhao Zhen said unhappily, the Song Dynasty raised several white-eyed wolves, and Western Xia was not the most powerful, and it was somewhat related to Zhao Kuangyi's practices. Only this Nong Zhigao is a real white-eyed wolf, without the support of the Song Dynasty, there would be no growth of the Nong family. Moreover, seeing that the Nong family was not treacherous, the Song Dynasty continued to give them unrestricted independence and freedom, not only sat back and watched them as emperors, but also took the initiative to divide Qiyuan Prefecture and other fetters to them as land under the rule of the Great Southern Kingdom. Or did the Song Dynasty not accept Nong Zhigao as a courtier, is that really the case?

Be a courtier, since you are a courtier, you will hand over the original Song Dynasty under your rule again. If you don't pay it, you have to continue to be the emperor, and continue to expand your territory in the Song Dynasty's various states, Jiaozhi is coming, and I am a courtier of the Song Dynasty again, and your Song Dynasty has to send tens of thousands of troops to resist Jiaozhi's attack for me. …,

Tens of thousands of courtiers in the Song Dynasty, plus the emperor, and nearly 100 million people, are all fools!

Therefore, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty all felt bitter and wronged, but Zheng Lang did not think so. In the world, there is absolute independence and freedom, long live freedom, and national autonomy, all of which are deceitful and extremely vicious in their intentions. If you want to govern, you can't give absolute freedom and independence to the localities, that's not freedom, it's conniving at the division of the people under your rule, or just like Dali, you can treat them as a country. Moreover, how did the people of Lingnan become loyal to the country by treating Liangguang as the territory of the Song Dynasty, ignoring it, or even treating it as an inferior region and a place of exile?

But Nong Zhigao gave Zheng Lang a great opportunity, if there was no Nong Zhigao, Zheng Lang wanted to develop Lingnan, wanted to implement the current measures in Lingnan, and wanted the imperial court to invest 100 million yuan, it was impossible.

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said, "Liang Qing, quasi-play." ”

knew that Di Qing would help Zheng Lang in Lingnan, but the proverb that things would be very serious, so he chose between the two and lost the car to protect the handsome, so he had to transfer Di Qing back to the capital.

The other ministers also felt that this proposal was quite reasonable.

Only Pang Jihu looked at Liang Shi suspiciously, and no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't think of anything.

Afterwards, it seemed to prove that Liang Shi's judgment was right, and within a few days of the prophecy, it was quickly found out under the strict investigation of many officials.

It was two middle-aged people who used money, some toys, and fruits to tempt some naughty children in the capital to sing. Even the accent was asked, it was a Northwest accent. I also invited a painter to paint a portrait, but the painters did not master the Western kind of portrait skills, and only painted a rough model.

Use these two portraits to go to the sea to fish.

If it's a rumor deliberately released by people, then it's not a proverb.

But the legend also came out, and it was a shadow, so Zhao Diqing escorted Nong Zhigao's family and returned to Beijing with the rest of the horses.

Such a big thing, Zheng Lang quickly learned about it in Guangzhou.

There is no way, I don't know who made it, or it may indeed be done by the Xixia people, so I can't underestimate it. But Di Qing couldn't keep it. Just when Di Qing returned to Guizhou, he summoned all the important officials of Guangnan East Road together.

Yue'er made tea for more than a dozen people.

Zheng Lang took out the drawings, a total of 1,100 drawings, covering not only water conservancy, but also roads. The construction of embankments, weirs, beaks, vehicles, slopes, and ladders alone has brought nearly 300,000 hectares of cultivated land. Not all of it is new farmland, 100,000 hectares of which are reinforced embankments, but new farmland accounts for the majority. It is not all for the Han households who have migrated over, and it is impossible for them to cultivate, and at least 400,000 households can cultivate 200,000 hectares of cultivated land, which is an impossible figure for immigrants. Some of them will be handed over to local acquaintances, and some will come out of the deep mountains and old forests to hear the news. Indicates a naturalized barbarian tribe. There will be more in the future, but the current cultivated land, water conservancy projects, and roads have met the needs of the development of Guangnan East Road in two or three years.

The economic conditions also do not allow, and redevelopment. I can't get any money.

So many drawings are not only the credit of Zheng Lang and the important officials, but also the credit of the officials of various states and counties. But Zheng Lang has the greatest credit in the middle, and the theory is ahead of its time. It has broadened the minds of many officials, such as the car field, with which it is possible to irrigate a lot of dry land. Another example is "sinus", some places are also called culverts, or culverts, the embankment is built to prepare for the waves, and the sinus is built on the seawall, and the tide can be spit out. It is easy to control and regulate the water source. But let Zheng Lang directly transition to the Qing Dynasty era, Dou was built with a long square anvil stone, and the gate was made of tough pine wood, so that when opening and closing, the rainy season could be divided into waves. In drought, the grain can be irrigated, and those depression fields, that is, those swampy areas, and even low-lying and damp areas with many miasma, will immediately become fertile acres. However, not all embankments are controlled by sinus, and some areas are based on topography. Build a small stone bridge instead, irrigate when it is dry, and congestion if it is sluggish, and it can also be conducive to the traffic of small boats on the inland river. …,

And many more.

It was these ideas that enabled the Ming and Qing dynasties to gradually develop the two Guangzhous.

Although the Qing Dynasty developed the two Guangzhous, the country has always lacked unified planning, and most of the projects were built by the landlords with the permission of the government and the people themselves, resulting in many disputes and waste. However, this waste comes from the people and has nothing to do with the imperial court. Therefore, despite the industriousness of the people, the development has been very slow.

In other words, Zheng Lang gave Liangguang a big leap forward.

However, there are also many problems, there are many large embankments in the coastal Yushui Delta, and most of the other areas are scattered small projects, and some Pitian fields can only irrigate dozens of acres. There are nearly 1,000 water conservancy projects alone, more than 600 embankments and weir trucks, the length of the embankment reaches more than 7,000 miles, the stone embankment occupies more than 4,000 miles, and the length of the newly repaired and expanded road reaches nearly 20,000 miles. As for employment, the more the merrier, the more the merrier, even if there are millions of people in the construction, it will not be too little.

That's how tens of millions of dollars were smashed.

Gunpowder was also invented, otherwise the cost of the project would have increased by half.

handed over these drawings to Yuan Xuan, Tian Yu, Cheng Shimeng, Yang Cha, and Cai Ting, and said, "Everyone, the matter of Guangnan East Road is entrusted to you. ”

Tian Yu was puzzled and asked, "Why?" ”

Liangguang, you are the real boss, the project will start in full swing soon, you can't escape.

"Zheng Diezhao, civil and military, fly south, return to the north, can I not be afraid?"

"Where do you come from?" Yang Cha asked in surprise.

"A nursery rhyme that has just emerged in Jingshi."

"Damn." Zhou Xin said angrily. It's so unfair, Zheng Lang is tired and tired, and he actually got this slander.

"Although it is hateful, I also have to be vigilant, the two roads of economic strategy to appease and solicit envoys, always in charge of all the military, political and financial power in Lingnan, and there are five mountains apart, the investment of the imperial court may be close to 100 million yuan, all handed over to me alone, it has violated the ancestral family law. With General Di Qing as a military assistant, how could it not cause some gossip? Therefore, I will hand over the affairs of Quang Nam East Road to you. ”

Everyone was silent.

That is, decentralization.

After Di Qing left, he couldn't do it, he had to divide his power, especially with so much money, if he used it to rebel, he could do a lot of things. But when it was handed over to Tian Yu and other ministers, Zheng Lang couldn't control it, and the rumors were self-defeating. Therefore, Zheng Lang returned to Guizhou, which is also a high profile.

Zheng Lang said: "Ladies and gentlemen, although the preliminary preparations are perfect, the project is fragmented, and once it is implemented, it will inevitably lead to many disputes, so we must pay attention to mediation and be fair." By the spring of next year, the project will basically be able to be grassworked, and the people will begin spring plowing and sowing, and all affairs will be implemented. ”

After speaking, some details were discussed, and the next day Zheng Lang left Guangzhou and returned to Guizhou by boat.

Di Qing still had to prepare and did not leave.

Zheng Lang called Di Qing and Sima Guang to his home, sat them down, and said, "General Di, it's been hard work for most of the past six months. ”

"Zheng Xianggong, don't dare to be."

Zheng Lang looked at Sima Guang again and said, "Junshi, you have also worked hard. ”

"Zheng Xianggong, thank you." Sima Guang said. Relatives in my heart. He almost lost his life in Temodao.

"You are down-to-earth and knowledgeable, which is your forte, but you can act more conservatively, so I have asked you to come and hone and open up your ideas. I don't know if there will be a war in the future, otherwise I would have called Jiefu here. Let him see the cruelty of war. After speaking, he looked at Di Qing again and said, "I will write a letter, and you stand next to me and watch." ”

"Whoa."

Zheng Lang asked Yue'er to bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Start writing a recital. First of all, talking about the war, Liang Shi said that Lingnan was safe and sound. No, Jiaozhi is ambitious. Not to be underestimated, besides, there is Meishanman, both of which are dangerous. I am not as proficient in military affairs as Liang Shi said. Now because some people have bad intentions, they have to transfer Di Qing back to the capital, but they still have to send a famous general over, Zhang Kang. …,

Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case.

He also said that there is a lack of military generals who can fight well in the DPRK, and although there is a woe in the south, it is only scabies, and it will hurt when it is removed. But it's just pain, not life-threatening. The north is the most deadly, whether it is Western Xia or Khitan, it should not be underestimated. Although there are some generals, they are only good at commanding infantry. can have the overall situation and strategy, and make good use of cavalry, only Di Qing is alone. In the future, when fighting in the north, cavalry must be used. In this case of false rumors, Di Qing is another military general, squeezing on top of the court. He will be squeezed out by the civil servants. Looking at Zhao Zhen to think twice, to treat and protect Di Qing well, not for Di Qing, but for the future of the Song Dynasty.

Equate Di Qing with the future of the Song Dynasty!

"Zheng Xianggong ......" Di Qing was so moved that he couldn't make a sound.

Zheng Lang's words came from the heart, and he also expected that after Di Qing went back, it would not be a good thing, and it would be very miserable. He has a strong temperament, many wounds on his body, and once he is hit, he will be the same as Wang Zhonghei, and his life will not last long.

This letter was written in front of Di Qing, just for Di Qing to see, don't feel aggrieved. And I'm behind you......

Still not at ease, he put down the fold and said, "General Di, the emperor loves you very much, and you have made miraculous achievements several times this time, and you will definitely be reused when you return to the court." But it's not necessarily a good thing for you. ”

"However, the emperor ......," Sima Guang muttered.

"Junshi, the emperor is the king of a country, he rules the world, not the world. Even if General Di is protected, if all the scholars are angry and attack, does the emperor want Di Banjun alone, or does he want the scholars? ”

"I didn't offend the doctor either."

"General Di, you didn't offend the scholar, but you are a military general, and you are crowded into the two mansions, how can the scholar tolerate it?"

"It's not fair!" Di Qing said angrily. He didn't say the next sentence, I worked hard to die, why can these scholars use me as a monkey just by using their mouths?

"Di Qingjiang, the so-called fairness, is just a legendary term. Look at this day, the sky is round, the sun is big and bright, the moon is second, the stars are faint, even if the stars are different from the stars, the sky is not fair! Look at this land again, the land has high mountains and plains, the height is uneven, and the land is not fair! Look at this water again, the water is clear and turbid, wide and narrow, and the water is not fair! Heaven and earth are unfair, mountains, rivers and rivers are unfair to the sun and the moon, how can the world be fair? The so-called fairness is only a kind of alms and a way of balance for the strong to the weak. Otherwise, the weak will be unable to return to their grievances, and will eventually produce degeneration. After all, the strong are in the minority, and once the grievances reach a certain point, they will gather together, and it will have the effect of turning the river and the sea upside down. The country perished, the powerful disappeared, and the strong were no longer strong, but could only be trampled on arbitrarily. Therefore, the wiser the strong are, the more they give, the darker and more greedy the strong are, the less they give, the greater the gap between the rich and the poor, the accumulation of resentment among the weak, and finally the strong come to naught. This is the evolution of the I Ching, my study of the mean. ”

Di Qing was still a little stunned when he heard this, but Sima Guang was pondering.

"When it comes to fairness, there can be no fairness at all. Even the emperor has to balance the way, such as the death of Empress Guo, Yang Shang and the two beauties pulled out of the palace as female Taoists, what should Your Majesty do? Kill the relevant scholars? No. As soon as he killed, the scholar was chilled. For the sake of the balance of the country, he swallowed his anger, chose the big and abandoned the small, and acquiesced to it. If the scholars besiege you, what should Your Majesty do for the sake of balance? ”

"What am I going to do?"

"Learn from Wang Deyong!"

But Di Qing may not be able to listen to it, let's talk about it when the time comes, Zheng Lang said again: "General Di, just as you are leaving Liangguang, I want to ask you something." ”

"What?"

"Jiaozhi," Zheng Lang said to Xunzhou, "If Jiaozhi suddenly attacks Liangguang, what strategy should I use to deal with it?" ”…,

"It's hard."

"I know that Cochin is a country, not comparable to Nong Zhigao, and Cochin has been expanding over the years, and the combat effectiveness of its army cannot be underestimated. The terrain and climate are quite unfavorable to our DPRK army, and it is difficult to deal with it. ”

Di Qing pondered for a long time and said, "Zheng Xianggong, do you want to occupy Jiaozhi, or just let them settle down?" ”

"Dali is not interested, and I am even less interested in Jiaozhi."

"That's easy, Zheng Xianggong, how did the Tang Dynasty defeat Goryeo?"

"How to defeat the ...... of Goryeo" Zheng Lang recalled that there were various reasons for defeating Goryeo, and the tenacity of this stick should not be underestimated, not only did the Sui and Tang dynasties fight hard, but now the Khitan, the future Jurchen, Yuanmeng and Ming and Qing dynasties could not let it destroy the country. There are various reasons why the Tang Dynasty defeated Goryeo, the Sui and Tang dynasties attacked many times, so that the whole country of Goryeo withered, and Goryeo happened to have civil strife, the Tang army was strong, and the famous generals were like clouds, etc., which allowed Li Ji, Liu Renliang, and Xue Rengui to succeed. Of course, the cold climate has also become the umbrella of Goryeo.

However, it is impossible to bring the experience of the Sui and Tang dynasties to destroy Goryeo, and the imperial court will not allow itself to launch a war of that scale.

After thinking for a while, his eyes lit up and he said, "I understand." ”

Sima Guang asked, "What is the policy?" ”

"The secret of heaven must not be revealed," Zheng Lang smiled and looked at the south with his eyes.

Di Qing also smiled, and felt regretful, just don't fight, once you fight, this battle has nothing to do with him at all.

Di Qing and Sima Guang returned to the capital with Fan Cai.

The imperial court sent Fu Bi as an envoy to Guizhou to make an alliance with Dali. Very cautiously, although the Song army attacked the city of Shanxifu, even Zheng Lang was not interested, and the monarchs and ministers of the court would not be interested in Dali. But after the covenant is signed, the border will become very peaceful, which is what everyone values the most. Therefore, he sent Fu Bi as an envoy to swear an oath with Dali.

Dali attaches more importance to it and sends Yue Hou Gao Zhisheng, a hero who supports the country.

This Gao Zhisheng is very interesting, and later Yang Yunxian of the Yang family openly rebelled, and Duan Silian was unable to quell the chaos, so he asked Gao Zhisheng to send troops to destroy him. In order to reward, Gao Zhisheng was promoted to Shanyanhou, which weakened the royal family's strength even more. In the end, the Gao family gradually grew stronger and directly replaced the Duan family to establish Great China, but seeing that the ministries were not convinced, Gao Shengtai of the Gao family passed the throne to Duan Zhengchun, who was also the son-in-law of the Gao family. Because of the power of the Gao family, Duan Zhengchun was afraid of the Gao family and his wife, and once wrote a poem to his wife Gao Shengjie praising his wife: The country has women, and the family has a beautiful wife. It is also a good thing that a husband is not as good as a wife. The wife told the east to go to the west, to the east to talk sweetly, to the west to compete in poetry. The husband is not talented by nature, and it is difficult to compare with his wife with red makeup.

is more of a man, a man, a big tofu.

But that was fifty years later, and it definitely had nothing to do with Zheng Lang at all.

The growth of the Gao family started from Gao Zhisheng.

Fu Bi and Gao Zhisheng discussed the details of the covenant, but Zheng Lang did not participate.

But Fu Bi found Zheng Lang and said one thing: "Zheng Xianggong, before I leave, Pang Yuzhi asked me to ask you one thing, about coins. ”

"Coins?"

"Pang Yuzhi said that you will transfer all the money and silk to Lingnan together, the country has insufficient money and silk, and the money is also insufficient, and Pang Ji will cover up the past for the king, otherwise it will spread out, and it will cause a greater uproar." (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
