Feeling cold again, Lu Yijian opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, give Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi an edict, and let them make meritorious contributions." ”

Zheng Lang was also dizzy, if he didn't know history, he would really think that Lu Yijian had reformed and become magnanimous.

Zhao Zhen also agreed.

In fact, this is a great progress, Zheng Lang's proposal is not only to take charge of the road, but also to deploy the secretary of the road and the horse infantry army, as well as to bring the Jingluo to appease the envoys along the border, in a certain sense, it is not much different from the power of the Tang Dynasty.

But they are all civil servants, and they are a little less afraid.

It is also easy to command, special circumstances, special treatment.

Zheng Lang said again: "Your Majesty, the minister also asked Your Majesty for some people. ”

"Who is it?"

"Those soldiers."

"This ......," Du Yan wanted to stop.

"Du Xianggong, they are fierce and don't understand, once they understand, their combat effectiveness will drop immediately, and they are strong soldiers with a surname."

Zhao Zhen has been in a bad mood during this time, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be amused.

Several other bigwigs also laughed together.

Zhao Zhen said: "Accurate." ”

"There are also ministers who want Zhang Fangping to know Jingzhou."

This guy has offered a lot of good ideas, but like himself, most of them have not been adopted by the imperial court, whether it is on paper, or whether he really has some real talent internship, Zheng Lang doesn't know, whether it is a mule or a horse, put it on the battlefield and slip away. No matter how bad it is, it's better than those officials who don't understand anything.

"Exactly."

"And Di Qing."

"He is in Jingzhou, serving as the capital supervisor." Zhao Zhen immediately replied, obviously Di Qing's bravery, Zhao Zhen also heard about it in the palace.

Going to Jingzhou was recommended by Yin Zhu, and after Yin Zhu and Fan Zhongyan heard about the Battle of Wulongchuan, they summoned three generals, this time it was not a general, and all three surprised them. Yin Zhu and Fan Han are both good friends at this time, and Yanzhou has Yang Wang and the two, so give one to Han Qi. Bring the strongest Di Qing to Jingzhou and make more achievements.

Later generations said that Han Qi was very generous to Di Qing, but it was actually wrong, and the humiliation of Di Qing did not happen at this time.

That happened seven or eight years later in Dingzhou, Hebei.

Han Qi didn't take Di Qing to heart, and even included the battle of Haoshuichuan, which mobilized many generals, Di Qing was obviously in Jingzhou, not far from the Zhenrong army, but he was not appointed.

Han Qi has many advantages and even more disadvantages, including his disdain for military generals.

"The minister knows, but the minister asks His Majesty to let him serve as the commander of Zhenrong, the deputy governor of Jingyuan Road, and the deputy envoy of Jingyuan."

Zhang Dexiang's eyes narrowed.

"Zhang Xianggong, it's a deputy position, you won't think I'm Wang Mang like Fan Wei."

Zhao Zhen laughed again.

has been together for a long time, at least what kind of person Zheng Lang is, he knows.

"He's a vulgar general."

"It's a deputy position, at this time when the country is in crisis, we have to pray to God to reduce talents without sticking to one pattern, why do you have talents, you don't need them. And I will oversee him, and if I am not competent, I will never favor him. ”

"But it's too fast," Song Zhen couldn't help but say.

"In the first battle of Haoshuichuan, many famous generals died in battle, and I had to reuse Di Qing."

"And Ge Huaimin."

At the mention of this name, Zheng Lang's head hurt.

He is the son of the famous general Ge Ba and the brother-in-law of Wang Deyong. Although Wang Deyong was very optimistic about this brother-in-law, the whole court was confused by his rhetoric. Shaanxi used soldiers, and Zhao Zhen once gave him the armor used by Cao Wei, which was valued so much.

At that time, when the whole court was confused by Ge Huaimin, even Chen Zhizhong thought that today's famous general was Ge Huaimin. Only Guo Kui said that Ge Huaimin is easy to deal with, and he will definitely do the big things of the court in the future.

Assigned to Fan Zhongyan's subordinates, Fan Zhongyan talked to him, and he could hide it from Chen Zhizhong, but he couldn't hide it from the first person in three hundred years, and immediately saw through Ge Huaimin's cunning and cowardice, and sent him to Jingyuan Road to recruit, strategize, and appease the deputy envoy.

This person Zheng Lang still wants to stay, if you don't know, if you know, maybe you can use it.

If he is squeezed out of Jingyuan, now that few people can see his true face clearly, and he wants to harm his way, this [***] will be very harmful.

So he said: "Then let Di Qing know the Zhenrong army." ”

Song Zhen can't say anymore, everyone has to take a step back from each other to be a good comrade.

Zheng Lang said again: "The minister will ask Your Majesty for Guo Zun's younger brother Guo Kui. ”

Guo Kui because of his father's supplement to the north class palace servant, because of his brother's military exploits, recorded him as the third class of service, at this time under the command of Fan Zhongyan, Fan Zhongyan respected his brother, and treated him like a nephew.

However, because of his youth, Fan Zhongyan did not reuse.

It will not be reused in Zheng Lang's hands, after all, he is only nineteen years old, but his qualifications have already been revealed, including his understanding of Ge Huaimin.

Guo Kui's appointment was personally issued by Zhao Zhen, and Zhao Zhen still had some impressions and said, "Accurate." ”

Zheng Lang was very emotional, Zhao Zhen was like today earlier, one by one, why should there be a tragedy in the northwest today?

However, Zheng Lang also neglected an important point, Guo Kui was nineteen years old, he still had to take a look, Zheng Lang was only a little older at that time, even if Zhao Zhen believed it, how could these ministers of the DPRK and China believe it?

"Are there any other candidates?"

"No, but if you see any good ideas after you go to the northwest, please ask Your Majesty for permission." It's a city law, but today Zheng Lang doesn't want to bring it up, learn from Fan Xiaofuzi, and do it first. It's a big deal to wait for the battle of Dingchuan to pass, and he will be guilty, and he will just go back to Zhengzhou to recuperate for a period of time.

I also want to take the initiative to find trouble for myself, otherwise the Qingli New Deal will start, and I will be sandwiched between the two mansions, and I will not be a person inside and out.

Zhao Zhen was about to announce that everyone was gone, when suddenly a eunuch ran in and whispered in Zhao Zhen's ear, laughing as he spoke. After Zhao Zhen heard this, he also laughed. Then he looked at Zheng Lang with a smile and said, "Congratulations, congratulations." ”

"Ho Xi?"

"The queen has heard that your lady is exquisite, and it just so happens that your lady is in the capital today, and tomorrow let your lady enter the palace and talk to the queen, and let your lady bring your new concubine into the palace together."

"New concubine?"

"Yes, I ...... Zhuqing, you go to Fanlou. "Zhao Zhen originally wanted to say that I and Zhu Qing went to Fanlou together, but it was not appropriate to think about it, so I changed my words.

"What Fan Lou?"

"Scatter, scatter."

Listening to Zhao Zhen's laughter in the imperial study behind him, Zheng Lang was confused, walked out of the palace inexplicably, suddenly remembered, rode on his horse quickly, and went straight to the inn.

Firecrackers were being set off at the entrance of the inn, and many people were carrying boxes of things into the inn. With Zheng Lang's current annual salary, he can also buy a decent house in the capital, but he is thinking that he will leave soon, so he has been living in the Yan Ji Inn.

The shopkeeper Yan was also happy.

Zheng Lang's stay, for him, is a dignified thing.

After taking a look, Zheng Lang immediately dismounted, threw the horse to the man, and pounced on the inn.

The four wives and concubines returned to the capital with their two daughters.

It's just that he returned to the capital in the morning, Zheng Lang finished the morning court, and was called to the inner palace by Zhao Zhen with the prime ministers, and now it's the afternoon.

But as Zheng Lang thought, there was an extra girl in the room, and when she saw Zheng Lang coming back, she lowered her head shyly.

Zheng Lang's body was about to soften, and he beckoned to Cui Xian and called her out to speak.

Cui Xian walked out.

Zheng Lang said angrily: "What's going on? ”

Cui Xian rolled her beautiful Danfeng eyes and said, "The concubine is for the Zheng family, not for you." ”

Zheng Lang entered Beijing this time, and the owner of Fan Lou once said vaguely to outsiders, Zheng Lang is good, even if my daughter is his concubine, I am also happy.

He was just a businessman, but because of his great wealth and some status, the words spread quickly. Some people think of Zheng Lang in Yanzhou last year, and the Fan family donated 200,000 yuan to Yanzhou for military supplies, so there is a saying that the Fan family used 200,000 yuan to buy a concubine.

This is an anecdote, true or not, and it spreads quickly. Cui Xian returned to the capital from the ship, and actually heard about it on the way. I don't know if it's true or not, but there is always a nest.

As soon as they arrived in the capital, the Fan family sent someone over and negotiated the matter in a cryptic tone.

Cui Xian was stunned at first, then angry, and finally thought for a long time, and suddenly changed her mind and said, "You let your little lady come over and let me take a look." ”

The Fan family really asked her to come over, Cui Xian looked at it, it didn't quite meet her goal, to have a child, it was best to have a big butt and big breasts, this is the image of parenting. A few people in the family, except for themselves, who are slightly better, the other three concubines are extremely slim.

However, the little lady of the Fan family has always been lively and active, eccentric, mischievous, and healthy. This made Cui Xian quite satisfied, so she agreed.

Since he agreed, the Fan family acted very quickly, not a wife, just a concubine, but after all, she was her own daughter, and Zheng Lang's love for the concubine was also very famous, it was just a matter of status, and the others were no different from his wife.

So he blew and beat, set off countless firecrackers, and carried out a lot of dowries, all the way to the inn.

Soon the news spread throughout the capital, and even the eunuchs of the palace heard about it.

Zheng Lang said angrily: "These are all gods!" ”

"Official, do you think I'm willing, it's not for the Zheng family."

has been married for many years, and the Zheng family does not have a son, and Cui Xian has a heavy burden. Later, Wang Anshi's wife and Sima Guang's wife did the same, and saw that the family was thin, so they took it upon themselves to take concubines for their husbands.

"I already have two daughters, and there will be more in the future. I was only twenty-four years old, and my father was nearly forty years old when my mother gave birth to me. ”

"But the concubine is not at ease."

"Hurry up and let the family go back, don't delay the youth of others."

"Now that the matter is public and the reputation is ruined, how can I get her back."

"What are you ruining, I'm just going back to the inn, what can happen? There can be no further delay, otherwise it will really ruin the reputation. ”

"Official, think about it, the concubine agreed to come down, but also for the sake of the official. The Fan family is a giant in the capital. ”

"Isn't my family's estate enough to cover my annual salary?"

With Zheng Lang's relocation to the Privy Council, the annual salary plus various subsidies has reached more than 20,000 yuan a year, and the family industry can generate more than 10,000 yuan a year. The family eats and lives in Fanlou every day, and the cost is enough.

"It's not because of this, the official, the Fan family is a businessman, and the daughter of the other family is a concubine, there will be no criticism, and he is a giant who has some relationship with many officials in the capital. The official does not like to make friends, and now he is a privy deputy envoy and will go to the northwest. But sooner or later, if I return to Beijing in three or four years, I will definitely be the prime minister of the two provinces. No matter how much credit you make. The age is still too young and the qualifications are insufficient, and having the Fan family is also a support. Moreover, some of the things that the officials do have to deal with businessmen, and it is not appropriate for them to come forward by themselves, and besides, the fifteen-cent deed shares of the Ping'an Prison will also be sold sooner or later, and the Fan family will turn a circle in the middle, which will reduce the frontal conflict. As for the Fan family, the little lady Fan likes officials, the Fan family's wealth is huge, and her own strength is not enough to defend it, with the backer of officials, the Fan family will have no worries for decades. So obey her daughter's wishes and let her enter the Zheng family as a concubine. It's mutually beneficial. ”

"It's a marriage, not a deal!" Zheng Lang was even more dizzy.

I can't explain it clearly to my wife, and when it comes to her son, this smart wife often makes mistakes, and even forgets her usual jealousy. I couldn't tell it, so the surname Suo ignored her, entered the room directly, and said to the little lady of the Fan family: "Hello." ”

"Hello, official."

“……”

"The concubine has seen the official," gave a big gift.

"You don't want to be an official."

"It's the eldest lady who teaches the concubine." The little girl replied as she bowed her head and smiled, as if she were overjoyed. Although he looks like he is shy, his little feet move straight, and he is obviously not a master of peace.

Zheng Lang walked over in the room, and finally said: "Little lady Fan, today I am in the inner palace to discuss state affairs with His Majesty's ministers, and I will soon go to Jingyuan Road to serve as the capital of the horse infantry army to deploy and appease the envoys along the border. ”

"That is, the court officials are incompetent, and only officials can turn the tide in the northwest."

“……”

"Official, the concubine can also ride a horse."

"No, I'm going to the northwest, my life is in danger at any time, and I can't delay your youth."

"Husband and wife are originally the same forest birds, and they must share weal and woe."

"Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately at the end of the disaster, ouch, it hurts. What do you do? Zheng Lang's two elbows made Cui Xian and Xing'er twist painfully.

"Who flew with you?"

"Big lady, concubines won't fly with officials."

This is still unreasonable.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside, Zheng Lang had already heard many familiar voices, so he had to come out and see many officials, such as Yan Shu, Lu Yijian, Zhang Dexiang, Song Zhen, Du Yan and other prime ministers, one by one, all of them arrived.

Also, Fu Bi, Ye Qingchen, Ouyang Xiu, Zhang Fangping, Jia Changchao, Wang Juzheng, Wang Gongchen, and many ministers rushed to the inn one after another.

If these people are all stars, the stars are shining, and they are almost submerging the Yan Family Inn.

"Congratulations," they said one by one.

During this time in the capital, Zheng Lang was very responsible, regardless of the size of his official position, he was very polite to others. This is also Zheng Lang's temper, almost all the officials in the court are older than him, except because of state affairs, why despise people?

In addition, they have to work hard to go to the northwest, everyone is not evil, plus the name of the Fan family, they rushed to congratulate together. Didn't the emperor say, you go to Fanlou. This is the Divine Decree!

Zheng Lang looked at this noisy scene, his face was blue and purple, and he didn't know how to answer.
