Chapter 589: The Longer the Bigger

Zheng Lang's face changed, he quickly calmed down again, and asked with a pleasant face: "Is His Royal Highness King Liang okay?" ”

"Thank you to Prime Minister Zheng, Your Highness is well. 1――”

"Can you study lately?"

"Time to read, but I don't understand, recently Zheng Xianggong's benevolence and righteousness, my dynasty has also circulated......"

Zhao Zhen frowned, the corners of his mouth moved, and finally did not speak.

Zheng Lang said: "Isn't that book written correctly? ”

Han Zhen said: "Yes, yes, why is the benevolence and righteousness taught by Zheng Xianggong different from the benevolence and righteousness you wrote? ”

"That's inevitable," Zheng Lang replied slowly, but he was thinking in his heart, without this book spreading to the Khitan so quickly, as long as it reached the little emperor of the Liao State, there would definitely be doubts, but it didn't matter, he continued: "This book was written for us Song Dynasty people to read. Dr. Han has seen my benevolence and righteousness, but has he seen my moderation? Our dynasty is different from your country, our dynasty has been ruled for a long time, and we have neglected martial arts, so there are many words of encouragement in benevolence and righteousness. This is also a way of regulating yin and yang. The situation of your country is different from that of my dynasty, it is famous for its martial arts, and it is important to emphasize martial arts and light literature, so I communicate with the king of Liang and give more laws of cultural governance. However, I also took His Royal Highness King Liang to hunt many times, but I encouraged him not to forget martial arts. ”

Zhao Zhen smiled along with some ministers who knew the inside story.

For this reason, Zheng Lang deliberately said that some of the systems of the Khitan Cheng Tang Dynasty, the division of Hu and Han, seemed to be done well, but in fact it was an unsolvable problem. Although the Han civilization in the sixteen states of Youyun is inferior to the civilization of the Central Plains, it is far more advanced than the Khitan nomadic culture. The sixteen states cannot be governed without absorbing the clouds. As soon as they were attracted, the Khitans gave up their original nomadic culture and learned from the Han civilization, and eventually they would inevitably fall. It didn't start with Liao Xingzong, but from Xiao Yanyan. If Zheng Lang taught his prince the original Confucian benevolence and righteousness, and encouraged him to hunt, in the end, this Khitan prince does not know what kind of freak he will become.

Therefore, Ma Bao, the son of the Ma family, is loyal to Confucianism and Taoism for those who are strong in the world, and Confucianism for those who are weak in the world, and Liao Xingzong advocates Confucianism. Rejected by Liao Xingzong. For whatever reason, Liao Xingzong definitely couldn't make sense, but he intuitively felt that once he did this, it would be very bad for the Khitan.

But this blending. It also brought some unfavorable factors to the Song Dynasty, some of the Han people in the sixteen states of Youyun were Khitan, and the civilization was not Khitan, and the living habits, daily life, and clothing were Khitan, which increased the difficulty of recovery.

Han Zhen couldn't speak.

Zheng Lang said: "Thank you for your care. ”

Take the letter from his hand.

Zheng Quanjie said on the side: "I played the life of the mother of the country, and I also asked Zheng Xianggong one thing. ”

"Excuse me."

"The mother of the country asked her ministers to ask you, you made a pact with my lord at the beginning. If you are not allowed to flee our country in May, you will return to our court, and there is also an agreement to marry the daughter of the Duke of Wei in the future. I wonder when Jung Sang-gong will fulfill this agreement? ”

There was a discussion from His Highness.

If this is the case, Zheng Lang's reputation is not very good.

Zheng Lang sighed, there were some things he didn't want to say, but the Khitan wanted to instigate them again and again, so he had to say it. Look at the four messengers. looked at Zhao Zhen again and said: "When I was in the Northern Dynasty, someone in my court talked about it, saying that I should learn from Su Wu. Without losing integrity. Wrong, if I learn Su Wu, I will definitely die. Our Song and Liao countries are different from the situation of the Han and Xiongnu. Han and Xiongnu were hostile countries, before the Han Dynasty, the two countries also had peace and some rewards, but there was no tribute. Since the Song and Liao dynasties, they have been brothers. If I surrender to your country, my lord will endure humiliation. But I don't fall. In order not to affect the huge amount of coins that our dynasty has given to your country, and to give me an explanation, I will definitely be killed. Anyway, I cut off contact with my dynasty, and I can prevaricate by finding a reason to excuse myself. ”

"As long as I don't run away, I won't come down. Mortal! At that time, I agreed to go, but our dynasty was fighting against Western Xia, and a war on both sides would be detrimental to our dynasty. However, I was very absurd and nonsensical in my childhood, and then I was lucky enough to study hard, and I was deeply favored by the Queen Mother and Her Majesty, and I had nothing to reciprocate, and for the sake of the country, I agreed to go on a trip, so as not to have a bad accident in the covenant between the two countries. After the battle of the meander, my lord advised his ministers not to go to your country for the sake of their safety, so as not to suffer any accidents. At that time, your Liao State started a war with the Western Xia, although it was a disastrous defeat because of an accident, on the other hand, our dynasty and the Western Xia battle, but repeatedly won great victories. Why do I still want to go, the country will not stand without faith! ”…,

The faces of the four messengers were a little blushing.

Compared with the Khitan robbery, the Song Dynasty was very loyal.

This public case was about to come out, but the Khitan ignored it.

"I'm going to be prepared for the unexpected, but it doesn't matter if I die, the two countries will inevitably fight each other. Therefore, some arrangements have been made, not for the sake of their own safety, but for the sake of the two countries. In the end, it was a bit of a big move, and the Northern Dynasty and his party were more difficult than I imagined. At one time, your country cut me off from my dynasty and hardly saw each other, but this is not the most difficult part. In the autumn, the mother of your country forced each other several times. At that time, your lord needs time to make some arrangements, after all, once I die strongly, your country will not be able to get my people, but will have a bad relationship with my court, and the gains will outweigh the losses. I also need time, waiting for the spring bowl to escape from the female straight. Forced by the mother of your country, the situation is very bad. So I came up with a plan to make an agreement with the lord of your country. I consent to any means that your country will use against me to bring me back to you. But after surrendering, she must marry the daughter of Wei Guogong as an equal wife. Your country has also allowed me to escape from your country by any means. Whatever the outcome, neither side can be wary of this. Why is there such a marriage contract, because his daughter is the daughter of the Duke of Wei, the niece of the mother of your country, and the mother of your country will not trouble me for the time being. Also, she is small and will not be stigmatized because of this. In fact, my situation is still very difficult, many of the guards have been bribed by your country, and there is almost no contact with our court, if it were not for Zhang Hai's adventure and his party, with a timely letter, it would have almost allowed your country to succeed. I don't run for my safety, and I'm not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. The Confucian way, love others and love yourself, even if you don't cherish yourself, how can you love others? But why did I go to the front line in person when I fought against the Western Xia, without him, firstly, it was convenient to command, and secondly, I took the lead to repay the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty's favor and trust in the ministers. In front of the big self of the country, what is the personal ego? ”

"Okay," Zhang Fangping shouted.

"In fact, when I fled, I was still in danger, and only three hours later, your country became alert. I can understand what your country has done this time, and I want to get a capable minister to make your country strong. But there are a few things that I haven't done well, and I haven't done a detailed understanding of them. If not, what marriage contract is there to negotiate? How can I be interested in a little girl of what age? It's okay to say that you like it, that's the love of the elders for the younger generations. But how could he have the wrong idea of taking her into the room? She is a good girl, smart and intelligent. In the future, I hope that your country will not discuss this matter again, so as not to delay her future and lifelong events. Zheng Lang said, checking the letter in his hand, the prince of Liao still respects him very much, and he doesn't want to put a green hat on his head.

"Secondly, your country underestimates my beliefs, and I oppose the contempt for life and the neglect of myself. Can be for the sake of the country. For the sake of loyalty and filial piety, what does it matter to die? Once I can't get rid of it, I will die to serve the country and your majesty's trust in your ministers! The third is that you have listened to folk rumors and overestimated me. The most important thing in this country is that there needs to be a good man, and then the ministers, the lord and the minister, and the man is the main one. As long as the person is wise. There will be a lot of capable ministers pouring out. I'm not the only one. For example, some of the deeds I have done are not the work of me alone, but the emperor's trust and support for his ministers. The second is enlightened national politics, and the third is the work of the masses. Is there a capable minister who can govern a country properly? If this is the case, with the sage of Fan Xiwen, why did the new deal harass the world after it came out, but it was not successful? Or if I encounter all kinds of difficulties, but I am helpless? Get me, and your country will not be strong. If you lose me, your country will not be weakened. Fourth, it is the attitude of your country. A long time has passed since this incident, and I have shown a lot of goodwill to your country, and your country has gone too far in this matter, destroying the friendship between the two countries. Let the past pass, and it should not be turned over again. For example, I presided over a spy commander and sent some spies. There is Western Xia and there is the South, why don't you send any secret agents to lurk in your country? Without him, we will always have a friendly attitude towards your country. Zheng Lang raised the letter in his hand again: "His Royal Highness King Liang has a good impression of me, thank you very much." Then in the future, the two generations of your country will not have a bad relationship with our dynasty. Why do I have to do evil to your country? This matter has passed, and I hope that the four envoys will not mention it again in the future. ”…,

Zhao Zhen slapped his palm, and two crisp sounds came out, and said: "Several envoys of the Northern Dynasty, Zheng Qing's words are also my words. ”

It is reasonable, temperate and affectionate, and the four Khitan envoys are all silent.

Zhao Zhen raised the wine cup in his hand again and said to Zheng Lang: "Qing's loyalty, I should respect Qing's cup." ”

Zheng Lang hastily said the Khitan and his entourage again, but the danger during the period and Zheng Lang's heroism were on the table.

There were some righteous ministers who also sighed.

This Zheng Lang didn't care, he simply said all kinds of things in the middle, because he was afraid that the Khitan would continue to use this to slander the world.

It didn't matter much, and then he told Zhao Zhen about the process, even if Zhao Zhen died, the one in the palace did not do very well, and it was not very bad, and the one in the future would be a good person, and his trust in the courtiers would often exceed Zhao Zhen. And it's too much trust. In comparison, Zhao Zhen did a little better, and all kinds of balance constraints made the court very quiet all the time. The further Zhao Zhen goes, the better he does. There is a degree to everything, and this kid Zhao Ji has passed this degree. This is still a feudal dynasty, a country governed by Confucianism, and this order of respect and inferiority must be maintained.

Zheng Lang stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

He raised his neck and drank the wine, and called the palace maid who came to serve and whispered.

The palace maid forwarded Yelu Hongji's letter to Zhao Zhen.

Strictly abide by the system and do not exceed the etiquette system. These small means of Khitan, the problem doesn't matter, but there is no need to provoke a commotion.

Zhao Zhen looked at the letter in his hand, and originally wanted to say that he didn't need to hand it to me, but after thinking about it, he smiled, opened the letter and looked at it, and didn't say anything else, only some words of condolence. However, it seems that this Khitan little prince has a good relationship with Zheng Lang. First laughed, then a little melancholy.

The answer on the Zichen Hall caused some discussions.

Afterwards, Pang Ji used this to joke with Zheng Lang and said: "Xingzhi, if I were you, needless to say, if the Khitan marries a daughter, you will promise to marry, see if they marry or not?" ”

"What are you marrying, have you forgotten about Uncle Ouyang Yong?"

"That's different, Uncle Ouyang Yong's matter, ten things are true, and this woman is ......"

"Hide for the gentleman."

"Yes, is he a gentleman?"

Zheng Lang didn't say anything.

It doesn't matter if you are a gentleman or not, he will be much more famous than you in later generations. The two didn't say much, the Privy Council was going to prepare to do a big thing, Dabi. Through this big competition, we can clearly see the real situation of the top talents and martial arts of various armies in the Song Dynasty. And Pauling......

But Zheng Lang was still quietly doing another thing, "rescuing" the prince of Western Xia......

New Year's Day was approaching, Zheng Lang was on duty from the Privy Council, and saw Liang Huaiji again, and Liang Huaiji stopped him.

Zheng Lang's head hurts, needless to say, the little princess is out of the palace again, and sooner or later this little princess will have to be killed. Liang Huaiji was just about to speak, Zheng Lang stretched out his hand to stop him, looked around, no one paid attention, and said to him, "You take me upstairs." ”

"Whoa."

Brought upstairs, entered the private room, saw Zhao Niannu, first gave a salute, and then said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you and I can't see each other like this." If you let others know about it, it will not only tarnish your minister's reputation, but also your reputation. ”

can't meet anymore, not only is Zhao Niannu getting bigger and bigger, but she is also a "married woman". No one knows that the problem doesn't matter, some people know, plus that Xiao Guanyin, he can't even think of washing it by jumping into the Yellow River.

"I know," said the little fellow, pursing his lips with some displeasure, "I only want to ask two questions when I see you." ”

"Then hurry up and ask."

"Did you do the thing I asked you to do?"

"You are still young, and the divorce contract is still a long time, don't worry, I will protect your happiness. But it's not guarded like this, at least not casually. That's not protecting your happiness, it's harming you. Zheng Lang said with a sad face. It seems that you want to send someone to inquire about the affairs in the palace, who is educating this little princess and asking her to persuade Zhao Niannu...... is mainly small, and he doesn't know human affairs and world affairs, which makes Zheng Lang feel very bitter.

"Well, I have one more question, do people grow bigger and bigger?"

"yes, why do you ask that?"

ps: I've been here again these days, and I've got a lot more, please forgive me. Let's see if we can recover tomorrow. (To be continued)
