Chapter 708: Inertia

Yue'er went to Liushao, Zhao Niannu frowned, and called Liang Huaiji, who was serving: "Xiao Jizi, what should I do?" ”

Others don't know Zhao Niannu's thoughts, how can this clever little eunuch not understand, he is also dumbfounded.! The emperor thought that the little princess was getting older and lonely in the palace, so he simply endured the pain and cut his love, and prepared in advance to take advantage of Li Rizun's entry into Beijing to marry the little princess.

The princess is not lonely in the palace, this Li'er can't say......

Of course, there will be no bloody plots such as crying, making trouble, hanging three, or escaping marriage. Zhao Niannu is not as good as Gao Tao and Cui Xian, but don't forget that Zhao Zhen likes her very much, and she is actually very smart and will not do anything unreasonable.

And she is also very filial and doesn't want Zhao Zhen to be sad.

Liang Huaiji thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, do you want to listen to the slave and maid tell the truth." ”

"Say it."

"The slave maid thinks that Your Highness should not be cranky, that person is of great use to the Great Song Dynasty, he is rational in his work, and his virtue is good, but His Royal Highness is beautiful...... "Liang Huaiji didn't dare to say, the little princess was born very beautiful, but I have seen it, is Zheng Lang's wife ugly? The two are similar at best.

"Don't say it, he's my guardian and promises to protect my happiness!"

Liang Huaiji's brows are almost condensed together, what kind of reason is this? Guarding your happiness, that was the fear that under the worry of the court ministers, I would marry you far away to the Khitan, really? Even if you take it seriously, you have to be measured, what can Zheng Lang do with you?

After thinking for a long time, he said, "Actually, the colt is also good." ”

is good, later many people said what happened to Li Wei, this is a wrong statement, but compared with Zhao Zhen and Zheng Lang, how can Li Wei do it? Zhao Niannu was so anxious that she cried.

The moon bends.

There are also many people in the capital who are talking about this marriage.

Zhao Zhen held a grand canonization ceremony for her daughter and was named the princess of Yanguo, which was as large as the canonization of the queen. This move aroused the opposition of many ministers, saying that the etiquette was inappropriate. Ouyang Xiu, Hu Su and others were impeached one after another. Don't listen.

When the human heart is not satisfied.

Zhao Zhen has no children, even if his daughter dies a lot, the only eldest daughter is the pearl of the palm and marries in pain. Why not grand? It's father-daughter love. But the minister doesn't care, even if he marries his daughter grandly, he should be forced to be like Zhao Zhen as the emperor.

Another 150,000 yuan was allocated to deliberately build a mansion for Zhao Niannu.

This is also the largest amount of money that Zhao Zhen spent for his relatives.

The Li family was also very happy.

Marrying a princess may not be liked by everyone.

It depends.

Especially the military generals and the Qian family or the unmoved family, these families are not traditional scholars. Like the Yang family, once labeled as a military general, Yang Zhen went through four generations of hard work and was admitted to the Jinshi. But the imperial court likes to use him as a martial artist.

What was the status of a military general in the Song Dynasty?

It can't be said that the generals are everywhere, first of all, the imperial court deprived the generals of their rights at the same time, in order to appease, the generals were rewarded very generously, which was the purpose of Cheng Zhao Kuangyin's cup of wine to release military power.

The second is the joint family, and the royal family is mostly related to the military generals.

You can't see their backs in the authentic history books, but their strength cannot be underestimated, such as the Gao family and the Cao family today. They can't get into the heart of the right. But even Wang Anshi couldn't shake them.

These families like to associate with the royal family.

Once he married the princess, especially a pearl like Zhao Niannu, he jumped into the dragon gate. will become the real top elite of the Song Dynasty.

This marriage quickly became the talk of the people of the capital, so much so that another matter was overlooked.

Zheng Lang's execution was also quickly issued.

A series of demotion to officials.

The title was demoted from the Duke of Chu to the Duke of Guanguo. Chu knows that one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period is a big country. Guan is also a country, a candidate country in the Western Zhou Dynasty, which is in the area of Zhengzhou. But who knows?

The servant of the Ministry of Officials was sentenced to the Lang of the Military Department.

Tongping Zhangshi and the scholars of the Hanlin Academy were not moved, but the Liangjing Road Jinglu was slightly pacified and recruited, and only became Jinghu South Road Jinglu was slightly pacified and recruited, and the envoy was sentenced to Tanzhou and Jingluo to pacify the Liangjing affairs. If you want to solve Meishanman, it is mainly a matter of Jinghu South Road, but if there is no bigger rear, it is only more difficult to go all the way to Jinghu South Road. Slightly retained some rights to mobilize the soldiers and financial people of Jinghu North Road. However, the original Jinghu North Road was slightly appeased and recruited, and the post was gone.

Later, Zheng Lang's long list of false positions was degraded.

Li Suzhi was transferred to Jinghu North Road as a transfer envoy, Zhang Qi was the pacification envoy of Jinghu South Species, Li Zhangqian was the transfer envoy of Jinghu South Road, Zhang Kang knew Lizhou, Guo Kui knew Dingzhou, Yang Guangwen knew Shaozhou, and Zhao Xun continued to stay in Liangguang, after all, Liangguang was not very stable. In many areas, there were barbarian tribes who were dissatisfied with the imperial court. needs a person who understands military affairs to stay, and Zhao Xun is able to be civil and martial, so he is the best candidate to stay behind.

Zhang Qi brought back the soldiers he had brought back from Jinghu South Road. However, the damage was equally heavy, and it was impossible not to lose it, so that Zheng Lang often thought of generals such as Chen Qingzhi and Li Jing, and did not know how they faced dozens of times the enemy, how to make their subordinates suffer slight losses or even not lose a single soldier, and repeatedly won great victories.

He returned with only nine thousand and a few hundred soldiers.

Zhao Zhen listened to Di Qing's suggestion, and set up 15 battalions of soldiers in Liangguang, and the remaining thousands of soldiers were transferred to Jinghu South Road together, if they were used to protect themselves. However, it was still very difficult to extinguish Meishanman, so 10,000 soldiers were transferred to Jinghu South Road. This is also the original 30,000 soldiers drawn out by Zheng Lang, and only led 20,000 soldiers to the south, and 10,000 people were still left in the capital. All transferred to Tanzhou.

Zheng Lang repeatedly pushed the credit, and in fact, every minister knew in his heart that the credit for the elimination of Jiaozhi Zheng Lang this time was the greatest. Regardless of Di Qing's advice or Zhang Kang's plan, none of the front-line generals' tenacious battles have Zheng Lang's merits.

There is no way to rise, but not to rise is only a trivial debasement, and the punishment is not heavy.

As for the increase in troops, it is normal to continue to appoint generals, so it is impossible not to increase the number of troops in the vast areas of high mountains and forests, and so many barbarian troops.

Several officials were dumbfounded when they heard the verdict.

I can't say it anymore, it's too much to say it again. So I moved on to another serious matter, and I was in charge.

When the edict arrived in Tanzhou, Zheng Lang's first thought was the military. Nationalists don't know the height of the sky and praise Meishanman, but have you ever thought about why Fujian Road, which has a very poor geographical location, can be built into an economically developed area in the Song Dynasty, but Changsha, which is one of the four major rice cities in the Ming and Qing dynasties, is very backward?

Meishan barbarians often come down to the mountains to plunder, so how can the people build?

Although the Xiangshui basin is good. Meishan is not solved, and he will never be at peace.

Saying that there are many troops, it is slightly more than the number of troops in Liangguang, and it is miscellaneous. It would allow him to have 30,000 regular forbidden troops. However, it is still very difficult to deal with Meishanman, the result of the terrain. I don't want to use the pocket array in the south of Yongzhou.

There are not many areas around the Song Dynasty that can use pocket arrays, and the area around Qinghai is either south of Yongzhou. There are few roads, and a few heavy passes are held with strange tricks, and the enemy soldiers are locked inside. However, Jinghu South Road is not good. It's impossible for people to get into their pockets. The area is vast, with high mountains and lush forests. There are still many tribes. Although it is a country and China, there is no unified call for a strong ministry, how can it be destroyed in one fell swoop?

Therefore, it is easy to solve Meishan's undefeated nature, and there is no strong force, often as soon as the Song army arrives, they drill the mountains together. Just like the later Wulong Mountain Bandit Chronicle. As soon as the Song army left, he reappeared again, harassing the Han family and the familiar man. Except that there is no unified leadership. Later, how the Red Army played in the early days of Jinggangshan, Meishanman played how. Therefore, it is easy to want the army to be undefeated, but it is more difficult to solve it completely.

The number of troops is said to be much less. But it's not much.

How to fight has not yet been decided, it depends on the situation of the imperial court, how much it can support, the local situation, and so on.

That's when we consider the implications of this demotion.

Cui Xian wrote to inform him of the specific situation.

Cui Xian thought he could understand, but he didn't approve of it. Although he knows that 999 out of 1,000, Zhao Zongshi is still the emperor and Gao Taotao is the queen, and this Gao Taotao's future influence is even more than Zhao Zongshi, but Zheng Lang doesn't like it very much.

Wrote a letter back. The emperor is only in his forties and has no trust in me, but you have started to contact Gao Taotao, what does the emperor think?

What happened is like this, and it is probably Zhao Zhen who considers the embarrassing situation that he has no reward again, and it is good for him to depreciate it. In the future, there will be room for further promotion, and meritorious service will be degraded without reward, which will also make some red-eyed ministers no longer blush.

But will it be on Zhao Zhen is also a little unhappy in his heart.

Don't think that Zhao Zongshi lived a comfortable life in the palace, and he suppressed it very much, so that all kinds of crazy actions happened later.

I thought about it for a long time but didn't come up with it.

It doesn't matter, depreciation is depreciation, promotion is promotion, he doesn't care much about this, as long as he retains some rights, he can operate Jinghu South Road.

I suddenly remembered Chen Zhizhong.

Chen Zhizhong's incident was like a big drama, and many local officials in Jinghu Nan had heard about it. There are various theories, the first one is that Chen Zhizhong's concubine is beautiful, Chen Zhizhong is old and beautiful, and he loves him very much, so he connives. So he put aside what Ah Zhang had committed. It was not the little maid killed by Chen Zhizhong, but by Ah Zhang. However, Chen Zhizhong's partiality is different from that of A Zhang's crimes, Chen Zhizhong's crimes will not be punished, and A Zhang's crimes will be executed according to the law. Holding this statement is that Chen Zhizhong, as the prime minister, how could he force three maidservants to death in a row?

The second theory is that Chen Zhizhong is really not good, and he participated with the concubine.

The third statement is what Chen Zhizhong did, with his identity, what kind of beauty can't be obtained, why bother to cause infamy for this little concubine. But the incident had happened, so I had to push it on the concubine.

Opinions differ.

Which one, Zheng Lang doesn't care.

He thought of one thing, and inertia caused it.

The system of the Song Dynasty led to inertia and inaction among officials.

Originally, it was normal for civil officials to be promoted and demoted, and it seemed to be a good thing, and it would not produce powerful ministers. If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have done something, you will be punished, and it will also play a role in supervising officials. For example, can you not make mistakes? This time his wife's contact with Gao Taotao, the fact is that a mistake was made.

However, let the scholars distort this system, the system itself is firstly to control the generation of powerful ministers, and secondly, to supervise, and only if there is a mistake can it be degraded, and it cannot be degraded without a mistake. However, the scholar neglected the latter and paid more attention to the first. Regardless of whether there is a mistake or not, no matter how meritorious it is, as long as you find a little mistake, you will have to be degraded if you are not pleasing to the eye, such as Pang Ji, which is degraded by this bad mentality. Then how to get promoted, not because of merit, but because of seniority, for example, Chen Zhizhong has repeatedly gone down and come up many times.

When Chen Zhizhong was the prime minister at the beginning, he was cautious, even when he was in Zhongshu with him, he was on duty every night, and he locked the door meticulously. However, even so, he still let Yanchen be impeached and demoted from the court. There is no mistake in depreciating it, and there is no merit and re-promotion, so that Chen Zhizhong's enthusiasm slowly declines, and finally he relaxes himself.

Anyway, that's three lives. Slaves and maids are not human beings.

Zheng Lang wrote an article, it can't be said that Zhao Kuangyin can't do it, in fact, he formulated many excellent systems, such as military generals are not allowed to interfere in politics, and many countries in later generations use it, and some small countries do not adopt it, which is in turmoil. But it was distorted again and again by the scholars. Including this system.

What is the ancestral family law, please restore the real ancestral family law.

Don't make progress, don't think hard about Fan Zhongyan's expectations for himself, and find a long-term way out for the Song Dynasty, as long as Zhao Kuangyin's true ancestral family law is implemented, the Song Dynasty may not be able to decline quickly.

It's written, but it's put down.

Not considering that Chen Zhizhong has not yet been ousted, but considering the controversy caused by the publication of this article.

Wang Anshi is reckless, and he can't be reckless, if he offends the entire Shidafu group, he will achieve nothing.

The wind was blowing outside.

There is snow in May, locust blossom snow, locust tree flowers in the wind, one after another falling, there is a sad beauty, but this scenery has to have a leisurely mind to appreciate. Zheng Lang didn't, as he said, once you really enter the court, you won't be able to play the piano well.

In a word, Zheng Lang still occasionally strokes the piano, but he can no longer play as ethereal and pure as before.

Looking at the snow flying outside the window, Zheng Lang was not appreciative, but in a daze.

But that's not what bothered him.

What is entangled is Zhao Niannu's family affairs.

He will never have any so-called love for Zhao Niannu, admitting that there is a trace of connection, nothing more. Age has little impact on this era, some people in later generations say that Zhao Niannu dislikes Li Wei is slightly older, and there are not too many old husbands and young wives in this era, but it still has an impact on Zheng Lang, he is twenty-one years older, one year younger than his eldest daughter. How to make Zheng Lang fall in love with Zhao Niannu? And Zheng Lang's control ability is also relatively strong, and he didn't move to Lingnan hard, but after an ambiguous time, there was no longer a deeper contact.

But Zhao Niannu's family affair will cause a series of bad things, Zhao Niannu's fate is very miserable, and Zhao Zhen's fate is even more tragic. Zhao Niannu looked at him a little lightly, but Zhao Zhen regarded him as his closest friend. Because this family affair in history was not held until three or four years later, Zheng Lang was not in a hurry. He has too many affairs to take care of. But I didn't expect it to be in advance.

Everyone thought he was very clever.

But where I sat and thought about it, I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't come up with any plan. The wind continued to blow the locust blossoms one after another, but the cyan locust leaves were like patches of jade in the late May sun, crystal clear, beautiful and moving. When the leaves swayed, Zheng Lang's eyes not only floated in front of him, but also the freshness of Zhao Niannu when he left the capital, and he couldn't help but hold the peace charm given by Zhao Niannu, and said softly: "How can I make you happy?"
