The Wyede Army was not a troika, but a quadruple. As the governor of Jingyuan Road, Cai Ting, the governor of Weizhou, is also good, and Cai Ting has always maintained a good relationship with Fu Bi and Zheng Lang, at least he will not hinder the three generals in the rear.

It's a bit of a hard time.

Zheng Lang said that his shortcomings are a little cold-blooded, murderous, selfish, and arrogant. The actual arrogance is the main reason for the first two, the Song Dynasty lacked generals, and before Wang Shao and Zhang Qi were born, Chong Ge was considered to be the best among them, so he was very proud.

Zheng Lang wrote to him that he must listen to Wang Shao's opinion, and if the two disagree, Wang Shao shall prevail, and no major matters shall be missed. Also, Zhang Kai must be used as a staff officer. I was at a loss, Wang Shao heard about it, but he just traveled in Shaanxi for a few years, and he could become a famous general after a few years of traveling? It doesn't seem scientific.

The Huaide army who went first was handed over, and Wang Shao also came, and he found Wang Shao, and Zheng Gong said that you are very capable, but if you have the ability, you have to take out something for me to see. The two talked, in fact, they were competing in military cultivation and tactical strategy, and they may not immediately let the seed bow down, after all, under the leadership of Zheng Lang, the seed brother has been famous for a long time. But at least after a verbal battle, after the kind of soldier came out of the army, he was even more at a loss.

With a series of deployment training, the seed is becoming more and more at a loss, can it be that a famous player can be sneaked out of the walk?

It's even more unscientific.

More unscientific is yet to come.

Zhang Qi is here, the refining of famous generals is divided into two kinds, one is a famous general in the style of Huo Qu's disease, don't ask about grinding and learning, people don't know the war strategy, the second is not grinding, and the third is not systematic learning, which is a famous general by nature. There is also Alexander, whom Westerners worship. He is the first person in the West. Zheng Lang was skeptical. The era of hot weapons is not mentioned. In the era of cold weapons, even Alexander, in ancient Chinese history, there were at least ten or more people who could completely abuse him. But that doesn't stop Alexander from being a natural general.

There is also a kind of growth-oriented celebrity. Some are fast, such as Wang Shao, there are not many actual battles, but there is a grinding process. This is the reason why Zheng Lang paid attention to it, but did not alarm Wang Shao. and Yue Fei and others, they must have a growth process before they can become famous generals, but they can grow up quickly. There is also a kind of famous general, which is a famous general who grows up very slowly, such as the famous Xu Maogong Li Ji, who is not particularly conspicuous in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and is even inferior to Liu Heimin and Shan Xiongxin, after countless battles. In the end, he grew into a super star who was almost as famous as Li Jing.

The latter is not necessarily bad, if Guan Yu is limited by talent. is a famous general, growing to the end, flooding Cao Jun reached the peak, but he can't become a super general. There is also a kind of growth limit, such as Li Ji and Xu Maogong, they need a growth process, but they are not inferior to the former after growth.

Wang Shao is a fast-growing celebrity type, and he is also born with a talent for famous generals, Zhang Ji and Yu Yunwen are such characters, which has nothing to do with their own literati status. But this kind of innate is also a theoretical innate nature, Huo Quzhi was really not influenced by the martial arts of the Han Dynasty and Wei Qing? Zhang Qi's decades of political experience really have no impact? Therefore, it is still possible that Zhang Kai will not reach the heights of history, so Zheng Lang will take him as the last of the troika.

Zhang Qi came, but he was not convinced.

Zheng Lang Zaipei, he understands, how long has Zheng Gong Zaipei been at this point? You literati and scholars who don't understand anything, although the rules of your ancestors make me have to obey your commands, but why do you also understand military affairs?

is also curious about Zhang Qi and Wang Shao, and the two of them understand each other, they are both the kind of unruly and visionary characters, and they talk to Zhang Kai hand in hand.

Wang Shao's use of soldiers seems to be bold, but it is actually the way of the soldiers, with a wonderful sense of smell to win victory again and again, Zhang Kai is different, like to use tricks, Liang's 300,000 army folded more than half, not killed by Zhang Kai, but after they drilled into the Zhenrong army, they froze to death without food and clothing. That's what it means to do everything, to be abducted and deceived, to kill people with knives, to set fire to poison, and to do whatever is yin.

After listening to it for a while, sweat was dripping from the forehead of the fierce seed, and Wang Shao shook his face. Then they looked at each other, is this the provincial Yuan Gong who reads the book of the sage?

But when they came out, the three of them looked at each other and laughed.

For example, Zhao Hao and his son Zhao Kuo talked about the art of war, Zhao Hao did not talk about winning, but it does not mean that Zhao Hao does not know his son's skills, on the contrary, he concludes that if Zhao Kuo uses Zhao Kuo, he will harm Zhao Guo.

After a conversation, it had nothing to do with mouth kung fu, and the three of them began to identify with each other.

Then he wrote a letter to Zheng Lang, convinced, Zheng Gong, you really have vision, and found two freaks for me.

I don't know what kind of role the Weizhou troika can play in the end. The imperial court is arguing over one thing, the Liang family. However, the court is arguing and arguing every day, and the matter of the Liang family is just one of them.

In June, the Liang family changed the Tibetan ceremony and set up a Tibetan official.

Although Li Liangzuo was crazy, but not useless, seeing the poverty of the country, he switched to Han rites, formulated Han Yi Han officials, and learned the management model of the Song Dynasty, which once played a role. Liang is now overthrowing them one by one.

It's not just Han Li who overthrows, isn't it clear? As a Han woman, she actually denied everything about the Han family, could she still be friendly to the Song Dynasty?

It is not this that the court is arguing about, but Suizhou.

The Liang family reused the Fan ceremony, and its intentions were very clear, so would it be unfavorable to the Song Dynasty, should Suizhou be returned? Some people think that this is the case, so they simply set up Suizhou and cut off the mutual market between the year and the market. There are also some people who think that the country's economy is tight, what is the benefit of getting a Suizhou, it is better to give more money to the Western Xia, last year's fragmented wars used more than one million money and silk, not counting the cost of the two forts in the northwest of Qinzhou, there are more than one million money and silk, smashed on the head of the Liang family, to ensure that the Liang family will be obedient.

It's a strange statement, but there is really a market among some scholars.

"This year, we only change one ceremony, send troops to Liugou Fort, we will give one million to appease, if the Khitan sends troops, do we want to give five million years, what will we do next year? Is our Song Dynasty really weaker? Zheng Lang couldn't listen to it anymore and couldn't help but say.

This sentence is famous. It's not from the people. It was the newspapers that got out.

Thirteen newspapers. In general, they are all more or less profitable, and the amount of profit depends on the amount of circulation. Because there is a typesetting cost. And it is quite a high typesetting cost, although copper movable type and bamboo paper began to promote, the larger the circulation, the more the typesetting cost decreased. The second is more important. Ad. At first, everyone didn't know too much, Zheng Lang said lightly, and tried to do it. Outsiders come to the capital, don't need much, collect a few issues of newspapers, through the above advertisements, you will know what to eat, drink, play and have fun in the capital, no need to ask people, just follow the map. What is the difference between a business that has been advertised and a business that has not been advertised? No need for Zheng Lang to say. Two or three years later, one by one, they woke up and were forced to be helpless. In the end, the eldest brother of the Beijing restaurant, Dafan Lou, had no choice but to spend three or four thousand yuan a year on advertising. There was no comparison in the capital alone, and later the West Lake Evening News appeared, and gradually there was a comparison, and the larger the circulation, the better the effect. Even if it is now thirteen newspapers, which state city is not the top city of the Song Dynasty? The amount of advertising costs depends on the size of the circulation.

Everything was spontaneous, and the last one had to cater to the reader. For example, pay literati to write some novels, or write some gossip. There are also political movements.

The Song Dynasty was indignant.

The term "angry youth" has many derogatory connotations, representing radical, ignorant and blind.

In fact, I don't know what this word is, if the country is strong and confident, there are so many angry youth?

Including the lower-class scholars, before they ascended to power, most of them were angry youths, and these people were often the main buyers.

Zheng Lang said that the weak often prove themselves by bullying the weaker. I don't have self-confidence, so I urgently need to prove it, and I don't dare to touch the powerful, so I have to bully the weaker. Wen Yanbo retorted, how could our Song Dynasty be weaker?

Zheng Lang used the topic to play and said something, but he valued peace and didn't want serious internal quarrels, so he didn't fight back. What is the relationship between the strength of a country and its borders? If it is weak, maybe even some small countries in the South Seas will still bully it. is strong, even if it is the candidate country Qi State, he still dares to send troops to the north to destroy Rong Di for the Yan State.

He didn't say it, it doesn't mean that no one in the Song Dynasty wants to understand that the Khitan is the big brother, what about the Western Xia, and the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia are at war, there are victories and defeats, and the overall victory is more and less, why are you so afraid of the Western Xia. Yes, the Song Dynasty was not weaker, but some people in the court were willing to fall and consider themselves weaker, which made the Western Xia repeatedly invade the Song Dynasty.

In order to make money and cater to these readers, the newspaper published this sentence, and then invited some down-and-out literati to write articles to discuss it, creating a gimmick and increasing circulation. So it was widely circulated.

Just one sentence, everyone was speechless, even Wen Yanbo didn't want to be pointed out by Qianfu, which one didn't cherish his reputation?

Zheng Lang said: "We are not weaker, but because of Gou, the Western Xia regard us as weaker. It is too late to say that the Liang clan wants to be ambitious against our dynasty, is it too much, does Western Xia have the ability to swallow up our dynasty? ”

Zhao Ji's forehead.

The Western Xia often came to invade, which was unbearable, but it was impossible to say that it endangered the entire safety of the Song Dynasty. On the contrary, if the Song Dynasty had the mentality of a fish dying and the net was broken, it could destroy the Western Xia.

"There are several reasons why we often come to invade, the first is to bully our dynasty as a weaker person, to establish authority over all ethnic groups, even the Song Dynasty dares to attack, you can be loyal to the royal family with peace of mind. Second, forcibly condense the interior, the Western Xia is poor, so many tribes have a yearning for our dynasty, Uncle Hao, did Xifu not receive the news of the Xixia tribe defecting that year? ”

Lu Gongzhu shook his head.

In these years, no matter what year, there were some Western Xia tribes who asked to defect to the Song Dynasty and asked the Song Dynasty to accept them, but the court refused.

"They often invade and force our dynasty to dare not take in these tribes. It seems that they are stronger than us, and we have many nobles and magnates in the court, and we dare not take them in. These tribes of Western Xia had no way to go, so they could only follow the royal family to the end. The third is to train the troops, wear down the vigor of the officers and men of our dynasty, raise the troops for a thousand days, and use the troops for a while. The state must raise troops to prepare for external troubles, but if they raise soldiers, they will not dare to use them, and if they do not fight for a long time and lack actual combat experience, they will become a weak army. If a country has raised soldiers for 30 years and does not dare to fight, something big will happen to the country. However, we must not excessively exhaust the army, so we can only have a war after raising troops for more than three years. After the Western Xia, too poor soldiers and military dethronement, otherwise we will often use troops in our dynasty, and the soldiers will increase more actual combat experience, and the morale of the soldiers of our dynasty will fall because they dare not fight. It's okay for a short time, but after a long time, it will become a reversal. ”

"The war was spent on a very large scale." Wen Yanbo said.

"Gong Wen. You don't remember how Nantang died! Zheng Lang shouted.

The Southern Tang Dynasty is a miniature version of the Northern Song Dynasty. The economic and cultural development has reached the extreme, and although the area is not as large as that of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the population is more than that of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Because of the implementation of an excessively weak military policy, he was finally eliminated by the Northern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Ji was also displeased. said in a low voice: "Duke Wen, why don't you listen to Duke Zheng's words?" ”

Wen Yanbo sighed: "Your Majesty, I am only worried about the country. ”

"Jun will only harm the country!" Zheng Lang drank again.

The two most senior bigwigs openly clashed and looked at each other. The lightning flashed and thundered, and the others did not dare to speak one by one. Zheng Lang is the prime minister again, rarely angry, and patiently explains when he has questions, which is also one of the reasons why although there are opponents and supporters since the reform. Wang Anshi's style of not even paying attention to God led to being alone in the end, and Zheng Lang remembered it in his heart. Why quarrel, the ultimate goal is to do things? Just get it done. Wouldn't it be better not to quarrel or quarrel? Also see. If the three reforms are implemented smoothly and the country gets better, and some measures are taken to reduce disputes in a timely manner, under the leadership of Zheng Lang, the moderates will eventually become the mainstream, and the possibility of party contention will be further reduced. If he can't do it, Zheng Lang will end up with a two-sided unpleasant end. But once Zheng Lang gets angry, many people are still very jealous. After all, in terms of qualifications, reputation, and political achievements, almost no one in the court can compare with Zheng Lang now.

Zheng Lang looked at each other for a while, focusing on the overall situation, and took the lead in softening, and said: "Kuanfu, when Renzong, he is not thin on Yuan Hao, what will happen in the end?" If it weren't for the successive victories, the Western Xia was embarrassed, would Yuan Hao negotiate peace with my court? Peace is not made, but it is definitely not bought back with Mai'an. Therefore, the master said that the six arts, etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, among which there is a royal shooting, what is the royal, is it a pitching pot? What is royal, is it riding a horse in the landscape? ”

When some ministers heard this, they finally couldn't help but bury their heads in the fun.

"The master is not stupid, really rely on reasoning to be able to tell a world of great harmony? It's just that because the country of Lu is weak and the world is in turmoil, the master is disgusted with soldiers and rarely talks about soldiers. Besides, Dutang gathered all the important ministers this time to discuss the Liang family's change of the ceremony, and everyone was in the dispute, and I didn't propose to send troops immediately, or interrupt the year, Brother Kuanfu, why are you excited? ”

"Xingzhi, please think about the consequences of the Qingli War, and be cautious," Wen Yanbo said.

I'm not soft, what are the consequences of Qingli beating down for a few years, you have to know!

"How can I not know, if not, why did I quickly withdraw from Cochin after entering Thang Long City? Don't I want to open up territory for Renzong? But Zhang Chi has a way, why bother to change the ceremony, do I need all the grass and trees in the court? Even at the beginning, Nantang would not be timid to such a point, Jun said that I was not a weaker person, but Jun's idea made me think that my dynasty was weaker than the weaker. Zheng Lang didn't say anything deeply, turned to everyone and said: "I said the reason for the repeated invasions of Western Xia, and the fourth, because I want peace, peace is good, the country is happy, and the people are happy, but peace is definitely not peace that can be exchanged for peace." However, because of the peace of our dynasty, the more Western Xia bullies, the more I will give them more benefits. This is the fourth reason, I don't know if if this continues, the tribute given by our dynasty will increase year by year, whether it will be 3 million or 10 million to buy back peace with the two powerful enemies of the west and the north, and I don't know what impact it will bring to our dynasty once these years of gifts fall on these two strong enemies, after they become stronger? Don't mention it. Or is it said that the Fan ceremony, the Fan ceremony and the use of soldiers are of the same nature, and changing the Fan ceremony is to increase the cohesion of the Western Xia Zhufan. As for not being tricky with me, if I don't change the court, the Liang family will not be at ease with my court. I am here to tell you that the consequence of this is to make the Liang clan think that our dynasty is weak, and that it will be doubly evil to the border states of Shaanxi in the future. Where to go, please think about it. ”

Then close your eyes and don't speak.

This is also the evaluation of later historians, a wrong statement.

In fact, changing the Han rites may not be close to the Song Dynasty, Jiaozhi has been using the Han rites at this time, is it close to the Song Dynasty? Did Li Liangzuo use Han etiquette to get close to the Song Dynasty? It is just a backward civilization trying to learn from the advanced civilization to enrich the country and strengthen the people, just like the real Zhao Wuling King changed the Hu suit to the cavalry and shooting target, not a close relative of the Hu people, but to learn the methods of the Hu people to make the army strong in combat, but the ultimate goal is to use it to deal with the Hu people. There is no need to have any illusions.

As for the Liang family being Han Chinese, there are not too many Wang Jingwei, Li Hehui, Li Helong, Zhang Yuan, Wu Hao, etc.

Liang's approach is very clever, although it uses the Han system. It can enrich the country and enrich the people. It may not be able to strengthen the army. Khitan semi-sinicization. The former wild wolf gradually turned into a domestic dog, which was quickly defeated by the Jurchens. In history, Xia Renzong used the Han rule to rule the country, the country became rich, and the people were well-behaved. But the wildness is gone, and the fate of destroying the country is not long in coming. The reason is very simple, the Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military force for a long time, but the population base was huge. This is how it is still gradually weakening, not to mention a small country like Western Xia. Without wildness, with the population base of millions of people in Western Xia, what else can there be?

If they want to survive, Western Xia can only return to their original wildness, even if the country is poor. This is the reason why the Liang family restored the Tibetan rites, and what does it have to do with appeasing the clans? With her madness and ferocity, as for appeasing the tribes with the Tibetan rites?

I can't say it, but some people hear that Liang is very smart. Then it's harder to deal with, and one by one is even more cowardly.

Still fighting. This time, the main battle faction gradually gained the upper hand. After listening to it for a long time, most of the words were malnourished, Zheng Lang didn't want to delay time, stood up and said: "Ministers, don't worry about the Liang family, we still focus on internal governance, as for what the Liang family wants to do after the change, we will make a decision after watching the after-effects." If we do not infringe on our dynasty, everything can be discussed, but if we continue to infringe, we cannot forgive this time. ”

What else can be said?

Let it be done twice once, but not ten times or eight times, even Wen Yanbo can't refute it.

The capital hall was dispersed, but on the third day, Zhao Ji issued an edict and sent Wen Yanbo to Luoyang again.

Speaking of conscience, Wen Yanbo is sophisticated, and he has done a lot of things in Zhongshu, but he blindly reluctantly makes Zhao Ji disgusted, and faintly has some constraints on reform. Zhao Ji doesn't care what kind of powerful people are, he only sees the huge burden of the country and the income of the national treasury.

This time, Zhao Ji's resolution has been decided, but Zheng Lang has not persuaded him. Because Wen Yanbo has repeatedly exceeded Zhao Ji's bottom line. Of course, it is also because of Zheng Lang's drive, some of the Song Dynasty's achievements are okay, which brings Zhao Ji greater ambition, so he is even more dissatisfied with Wen Yanbo's ideas.

He also summoned Zheng Lang to the inner palace to speak.

Getting out of Xifu, Zheng Lang had a little time to spare.

There are still a lot of affairs, much better than in previous months. But it won't be long before it's going to be busy again.

After talking for a while, Zhao Ji asked: "Gong Zheng, what kind of twists and turns can Zhongshu receive about the method of equal loss (in the Song Dynasty, except for secret performances, most of the folds were handed over to the two mansions, and more than ninety percent of the folds were handled in the two mansions.) Most of the rest was handed over to the two systems for resolution, such as the self-examination of Xia Zhu to Beijing in the Qingli New Deal was handed over to the two systems. Most of these twists and turns were drafted in the two systems, and the remaining difficult or major events were handed over to the emperor for personal approval, and the emperor could not make a judgment at the court meeting. Therefore, Zhao Ji asked a little. ）？ ”

Zheng Lang replied: "Most people are in favor of it, there are a few scholars who insist on opposing it, some think that the reform is too aggressive, and some think the same as Wen Yanbo's conversation to His Majesty, the ancestral legal system is in place, the system is perfect, change it without authorization, and be careful of losing the support of the people." ”

This is one of the sentences that many scholars often mentioned when they tampered with history books.

It was said by Wen Yanbo during a gentle conversation between Dongfu Zaizhi and Zhao Ji some time ago.

Zhao Ji was puzzled and asked rhetorically: "Since the reform, although there have been changes, most of them are measures to truly restore the law of the ancestors, just like Confucianism. ”

That is, the later system has been far away from the various systems established by the Zhao Kuangyin brothers, so that the scholars and doctors have tampered with, just like Confucianism, if the Confucianism that the master said is not modified by Zheng Lang, is the Confucianism since the Han Dynasty the real Confucianism of the master? Zheng Lang's Confucianism is not the Confucianism of the Master, but the Confucianism of the Master is first restored, and then the second time it is tampered with, so that it retains the positive side and keeps pace with the times. The same is true for reform, Zheng Lang first set back the time, returned to the original system of Zhao Kuangyin's brothers, and improved this system, if compared with Zhao Kuangyin's brothers' system, Zheng Lang has not changed very much, but compared with the current system, Zheng Lang has changed a lot. However, it makes sense. I'm not changing my fate, I'm still using the ancestral family law, it's the real ancestral family law, not the ancestral family law of the scholars. Why do you do this, look at Wang Anshi's three no's, the sky is not enough to fear, the ancestors are not enough to be afraid, and the words of people are not enough to be compassionate. God is not afraid, the ancestors are not respectful, and even the greatest merit of the Song Dynasty is deprived of freedom of speech, which side is under more pressure?

It's all for the same goal, so why bother!

This is also Zheng Lang's gentle personality and deciding style of doing things.

Wen Yanbo said nonchalantly: "Xingzhi is not a sage, and the Confucianism he cultivates is not a sage Confucianism, how can he use it one by one?" ”

Zhao Ji can't be distinguished, there is only one saint in the world. Only the emperor. said that Zheng Lang is a saint. If it weren't for Zheng Lang, Zheng Lang's Confucianism would not be the real Tao, and it could not be used as a metaphor.

Sophistry. Zheng Lang's words are not Tao, and Wen Yanbo's words are not Tao.

Zheng Lang was hit by the pond fish, and he was unwilling to lie down and be shot, so he said on the side: "Kuanfu." You are determining, the people in your mouth are not Your Majesty, not the people, not even the scholars and magnates, at least most of the scholars and magnates have some conscience. The people you speak of are the insatiable few scholars, doctors, and magnates. It is their interests that are offended by the reforms. ”

The two argued a few words.

But at this time, Wen Yanbo didn't dare to say the more famous sentence: In order to rule the world with scholars, not with the people. What are the common people, dogs, even the emperor you obediently stand aside.

Since the law was proposed, it has not been implemented, and it is only the Department of Regulations that has been implemented. A smaller version of the Ordinance Division, but the action is also very large. In addition to the three divisions. Originally, Zhao Kuangyin only set up four or five ministries and departments, which were audited, audited, and supervised, to prevent the three ministries and departments from being greedy. After a long time, there were more and more drawbacks, so they successively set up various departments to restrain them, and in the hands of Song Renzong, they became fourteen or fifteen major divisions, with dozens of subordinate departments and units, which overlapped again and again.

Zheng Lang and Wang Anshi are jointly merged, the three departments are still retained and must be retained, and the other departments are all under the jurisdiction of the Regulations Department and are still under the jurisdiction of the three departments, but this change has brought about a series of changes. First of all, the authority, the three departments are in charge and decision-making, the regulations department is responsible for supervising the three departments to assist the three envoys in decision-making, and is responsible for the Jiangnan shipping department, so as to unify procurement, save expenses and unnecessary waste, the three departments are the implementation units, supervised by the regulations department, but also supervise the three departments. Mainly financial units, the most prone to corruption. In this way, the three departments will supervise each other and corruption will be reduced.

This article is still recognized by everyone, and it can basically be said that it is still the ancestral family law, which is constrained by layers of supervision. As for what to do with the Shipping Division, which is about to be assigned to the Regulation Division, it depends on the final outcome of the negotiation of the equalization law. Then there was controversy, after the implementation of the regulations department, there were more than a dozen ministries and departments that still overlapped and could not be retained one by one, so they were reformed again, half of them were cut, and only seven departments were retained, and the petty officials were either merged or let go home, and some officials were resettled in other places. Later, the third reform will successively reduce some officials. It is unlikely that all the vacancies vacated this year will be filled, and there will be further reductions. Because there was no forced layoff, but only placed in some vacant places, knowing that it was actually equivalent to reducing the number of bad officials, there was a voice of opposition, which was not very loud.

As for the imminent implementation of the equal-loss law, it will be implemented together with the third reform. Now these months are a time of respite.

Zhao Ji said: "I am very disappointed. ”

"Your Majesty, it is inevitable, although what Wen Yanbo said is omitted, it cannot be said that it is unreasonable, to govern the world, it is best to reduce the opposition of these people. Nor can it be said that these people are useless. When Li Shi reformed the tea policy, the minister who took the lead in opposing it was Sun Zheng, wasn't he a good official? When Fan Xiang and Bao Zheng reformed the salt and salt administration, the minister who took the lead in opposing it was He Tan, wasn't He Tan a loyal minister? Reform will inevitably touch the interests of some people. It is wise to give benefits to others when the interests of some people are touched, so that they can compete with their opponents, and the trouble will naturally be reduced. Zheng Lang said this, looked out the window, and said: "Governing the country must be trembling, let alone reform." However, the height of summer is coming, and the harvest of autumn is not far away. ”

Zhao Ji nodded, there is still half a year of tossing, and by this time next year, it will be the stage of rest and recuperation, and if you can spend this half a year safely, the national situation will also improve. Then looking at Zheng Lang's snow-white hair, he thought of one thing that always made him uncomfortable. Wen Yanbo said that Zheng Lang was not a saint, but in Zhao Xu's heart, he almost regarded Zheng Lang as a saint, at least at the sub-saint level, after knowing that incident, Zhao Lang just couldn't figure it out, so he asked: "Zheng Gong, do I have a saint in my court?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I don't mean status, but the kind of person who has reached the extreme of talent and morality, that is, the kind of saint you are talking about."

Zheng Lang was inexplicable, so he asked what he was doing with this? He thought for a moment and replied, "No." ”

"Neither is Zheng Gong?" (To be continued.) )
