Chapter 471: Anger
The guards Liu Quan and Zhu Dazhi were startled, and hurriedly drew their swords. Zhang Hai was also drawing his sword......
Zheng Lang waved his hand and said, "Liu Quan, Zhu Dazhi, don't be nervous, let me have a few words with him." ”
But Liu Quan and Zhu Dazhi didn't dare to put down their swords, but Zheng Lang said calmly: "Zhang Hai, I have a very fair opinion on thieves everywhere, and some of them are indeed because the government is not doing very well, or they are starved and helpless, or some generals are cruelly exploited. But the Lord is wise, if there is a grievance, you can come to the capital to appeal. Gu Nian is in this situation, today this official spared the lives of your husband and wife, and after returning to Dengzhou, surrender to the imperial court quickly, and I can still protect you.
"And then exile us?" The young woman said that she was referring to Wang Lun's subordinates, who were captured by Zheng Lang last time, and all of them were exiled.
"No, as long as you surrender to the court after you go back, and you don't do much evil now, not only will I not exile you, on the contrary, I will protect you as a military general of the court when I hear that you are strong. There is an era when it is used to kill foreign enemies, not its own family, let alone the corruption of the imperial court, and it has to be exposed to rebellion, so do it yourself, go ahead. ”
The husband and wife glanced at each other, Zheng Lang's two guards may not be in their eyes, but Zheng Lang said their names, afraid that there would be an ambush, and this little minister is ghostly, very famous, if this little minister is captured, it will naturally be very powerful, in case uh...... Glancing at each other, the beautiful young woman pulled Zhang Hai's arm and said, "Let's go." ”
"Don't worry, I still haven't said a word, I'll surrender when I go back, if I resist, next time this official won't open the net."
"Then try it", the young woman snorted, the two of them flew from the painting boat to the shore like two big birds, Zheng Lang didn't believe in the magic horse of martial arts, let alone light skills, but looking at the movements of these two couples, their skills were extremely flexible.
The two couples were afraid that Zheng Lang would be ambushed, so they quickly left after going ashore and disappeared into the night.
The night mist rose and the Bianhe River drifted, and from time to time the singing of the courtesans on the mural boat could be heard not far away, as if everything that had just happened was like a dream.
Liu Quan stroked his chest and said, "Zheng Xianggong, how do you know?" ”
"I just guessed ......", Zheng Lang sat on the chair, his body softened, and cold sweat was dripping on his body. This was probably the most critical moment of his life.
When he left Fan's house, Zheng Lang didn't find anything wrong, but he had a slight suspicion in his heart, so he brought two guards, until Zhang Hai and his wife entered the painting boat with strange expressions, and he didn't realize that something was wrong, and only then did he think of one thing Zhang Yanghe, isn't Yanghe the sea?
After a long time, it was not until several prostitutes came in that Zheng Lang woke up from his shock and said, "Let's go back." ”
But this time it finally angered Zheng Lang.
The next day, it happened to be in the morning, Zheng Lang played and told the matter again, and all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned that the thieves actually entered the capital alone, this is Zheng Lang, who reacted keenly that if it was someone else, he didn't know how to die after his head was cut off last night.
Zhao Zhen was furious, slammed his fist on the table, and shouted: "How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable!" ”
Other ministers don't care, Zheng Lang is the hope of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui five years later, revitalizing the Song Dynasty, the Khitan regards Zheng Lang as an enlarged version of Guan Zhong, in Zhao Zhen's heart, Zheng Lang is no less than this status. Even after growing up for ten years, Zheng Lang is more suitable than Lu Yijian to hold up the sky of the Song Dynasty. If something went wrong last night, thinking of this, he shouted at Li Shu: "Li Qing, how do you manage the security of the capital?" ”
Li Shu is wronged and has nowhere to shout, how many people enter and leave the capital every day, how can this be checked? If Zhang Hai is a little more bold and brings a hundred subordinates, he can also be smoothly brought into the capital through pedestrians coming and going.
Ouyang Xiu took the opportunity to speak: "Your Majesty, Li Shu is treacherous and insidious, and His Majesty knows all kinds of signs. Today, the foreign ministers dare not say Li Shu's name, which is really filthy and ugly. Outsiders are so evil, why are they in front of Your Majesty? Because Li Shupeng was attached to Lu Yijian, he was among the three corpses and five ghosts, but he was led by Lu Yijian as an elbow, so he has today's status. ”…,
The three corpses and five ghosts are extremely vicious, the Taoists say that there are three gods who are haunted in the human body, and every Gengshen day reports to the Emperor of Heaven that people are evil, which is called three corpses, and is also called three corpse gods. The five ghosts refer to the five ghosts of poor intelligence, poor learning, poor literature, poor life, and poor friendship, and generally refer to the five people who are embarrassed and treacherous.
Li Shu was so angry that he almost smoked, but he couldn't tell yet, Ouyang Xiu was a minister, he could talk nonsense at the court meeting, he was the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, and if he lost the court's etiquette, he would be demoted immediately.
Ouyang Xiu continued: "I don't know if the imperial court is so clear, what's the use of this person? It was Li Shu who served as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, and Kaifeng Mansion did all the sinister techniques from the bottom down, not doing his own duties, and letting the thieves infiltrate the capital without knowing it. If Zheng Lang had an accident yesterday, the court lost a talent, and snickered for the world, please Your Majesty must remove this person from the capital to listen to the saint. ”
Zheng Lang interrupted his gushing and said, "Ouyang Xiu, Li Shu is right or wrong, please discuss it after the court meeting, and let me explain a few important things to Your Majesty." ”
Don't say it, this talk goes on endlessly, but it will delay Zheng Lang's business today.
Fortunately, Ouyang Xiu consciously closed his mouth. About the last time Zheng Lang's reform made him very satisfied, this is like the prime minister, as the prime minister, how can he not do things. and let Yanchen enter the capital hall to make him even more satisfied, and his attitude towards Zheng Lang in the past few days: straight is very good.
Zheng Lang said: "The reasons for the four thieves in the ministers are the people's thieves. The drought is partly partial, but the officials are harsh, and the granaries that should have grain are greedy by the officials, and there is no grain to put in is also part of the factor. The second is military piracy, the national army is redundant, and the number of forbidden troops and soldiers together has reached more than 1.3 million, which has never been seen since the founding of the country. Taizong raised more than 600,000 forbidden troops, which affected the country's financial operation, although the population at that time was not as large as today, and the tax revenue was not as large as it is today. But after years of war and years of disasters, how can the situation be as good as when Taizong ruled the country? What can you do if you have too much tax? At the time of Taizong, the commercial tax was only 8 million and hundreds of thousands, and by the time of His Majesty, it was gradually approaching 20 million. It doesn't hurt either, the business is developed, and it makes sense to expand twice as much. But why did it swell to nearly 50 million guan after the war, which is more than two taxes? His Majesty also realized that taxes were too heavy, so he raced to cut spending, including military spending. However, the army is huge, and the military budget is reduced, the treatment of soldiers will inevitably decline, and there are generals at all levels who are harsh, and the soldiers are not enough to support their families, so there is a mutiny and they become military thieves. It is far from enough to rectify the army along the Shaanxi Road. The country is in crisis, and if there is another disaster next year, there will be more military thieves. Please ask Your Majesty to issue an edict that from now on, the country will successively reduce the number of old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, and reduce the barracks, so that the surplus military funds can be used to improve the treatment of soldiers and soldiers, otherwise the country will not be a country. ”
Not to mention other places, there are a number of "military thieves" in Dengzhou.
Zhao Zhen frowned and said: "After the court meeting, it will be discussed." ”
This situation finally made Zhao Zhen feel a sense of urgency.
But it is also what Zheng Lang needs, otherwise how can he persuade Zhao Zhen to disarm?
Zheng Lang also said: "Not only are there many local officials who are brutal or insatiable, so that the officials force the people to rebel, but also the cowardice of the officials in various prefectures and counties, which leads to rampant thieves, so Zhang Pirates dare to sneak into the capital and look at the weak movements of the country, so as to wait for the opportunity to move." For example, Gao Youzhong made an appointment with a local rich family to reward the thief, Zhang Haihai, the momentum was not large, only a few dozen people, the state general judgment asked for troops to suppress it, Liu Zhi did not agree, so he sat back and watched the thief grow into a momentum. However, in the past few months, the imperial court has never dealt with these officials, so what is Your Majesty's intention? Does Your Majesty also want to indulge thieves? ”
"Zheng Qing, what do you think should be done?" Zhao Zhen asked.
This time he was also angry, and finally had a ruthless heart in dealing with officials.
"The exile in Lingnan will never be used unless it is a great achievement, otherwise it will never be used as a warning. In fact, it has been dealt with generously, otherwise conniving at the thieves will also be tantamount to cooperating with rebellion, and the law will be punished. ”…,
"Your Majesty, the ministers also think that these officials should be punished, otherwise the officials in various places will not be enough to be policed." Ouyang Xiu came to his senses, stood up again and said.
"According to Zheng Qing and Ouyang Qing, punish Chao Zhongyue first, and then send someone to inquire whether Liu Zhi connived at the thief's hypocrisy, if so, he should be dealt with severely." Zhao Zhen said. He could understand Zheng Lang's mood, since he entered Zhongshu Province, Zheng Lang had not said that he would deal with that minister.
Zheng Lang said again: "The thieves are already powerful, and the ministers are afraid that Cao Wujie and Zhang Hong will not be able to exterminate them, so the imperial court should be prepared to recruit Di Qing to come to Beijing in case of accidents, and then edict Han Qi to dispatch troops in Shaanxi to prepare to cooperate with the imperial court to suppress bandits." If the thief is strong and immortal, the minister will beg His Majesty again, and the quasi-minister will personally go to suppress it. ”
"Zheng Qing, no, there is Fan Yong in Xijing, there are some thieves, if Cao Zhang Liangqing can't be exterminated, I let Fan Yong go to suppress it, and the thieves will be destroyed."
"Your Majesty, Fan Yong is quite capable of governing officials, and he is also a loyal elder, but he doesn't understand the military Fan Yong, if the court sends Fan Yong, the ministers are afraid of making mistakes. Although thieves will be destroyed, the early destruction of a month and the late destruction of a month will have a very different effect. In one month, how many officers and soldiers will be killed, how many civilians will be harmed, and how much military money will be wasted? Your Majesty, please think again. Some time ago, the minister told the Khitan envoy that he should also be in the form of a lion when he fights rabbits, and the same must be done for thieves. The thieves are already powerful, I don't know how many thousands of people are waiting, so the minister not only went in person, but also asked His Majesty to transfer Di Qing to the capital to cooperate with the minister, please think twice. ”
Fan Yong suppressed the thieves, but he could use tens of thousands of troops for nearly three months, or finally use Han Qi to cooperate to strangle the thieves. This old master can't lead troops.
But Zheng Lang's words had two other intentions, calling Di Qing to come, not only to suppress Guo Miaoshan and Zhang Hai, but also to prepare for Guiyang Man. Guiyang can't let Yang Mei go, even if Yang Mei is allowed to go, Di Qing must cooperate, otherwise the southern erosion will be longer.
However, the main goal is not anger, anger is part of it, and the main reason is that it didn't take long for Fan Zhongyan to launch the Qingli New Deal.
What are you doing in the capital?
Zhao Zhen was silent for a while, and said, "Quasi, Li Qing, you immediately lead the officials to arrest these two thieves." ”
"Huh," Li Shu replied with a bitter face.
At this time, most of the couple also escaped from the capital early, even if they were in the capital, where would they be arrested? This Ouyang Xiu, he gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart. But to this day, he also asked for it. Da Song's real name is Song Jiao, and he secretly said to Zhao Zhen, Song, the surname of the country, and the suburbs are handed over, not good (the Song Dynasty handed over to others). Zhao Zhen knew it in his heart, so he asked the Great Song Dynasty to change its name to Song Zhen, not to hand over the Great Song Dynasty, but to maintain the Great Song Dynasty. Five years after Ouyang Xiu's impeachment, he didn't have a long memory and made Xiao Song. Zhao Zhen canonized Zhang Meimei as a concubine, and the edict was issued to the concubine according to the book, and the concubine thanked herself, so the canonization etiquette was exempted, that is, the concubine didn't want to be a concubine. Under normal circumstances, the book is written first, read by the door, and then the book is written by the academy, handed over to the Zhongshu Province, signed with the official titles of the three provinces, stamped by the official court, and finally presented to the inner court, which completes the process of the concubine. It was Xiao Song's turn to write the book, and after it was written, he didn't know much about Xiao Song, so he asked Li Shu, and Li Shu said, send it quickly, there is no hesitation. Xiao Song really sent the book to Zhang Meimei. Zhang Meimei's anger can be imagined, and she angrily threw the book to the ground. Xiao Song urged.
In fact, this kind of bad character has also created Li Shu's fate in his life, he has talent and learning, and has the ability to govern, but because of this, he has ups and downs, and has not been corrected, and many similar things have happened. Even when Zheng Lang inquired about the forbidden army with him, he was cautious, for fear of being cheated by him.
After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he shouted angrily: "Sanyin"
The country is getting him down more and more......
