Chapter 783: Little Heavy Mountain (1)

This winter was not very cold, but Zheng Lang felt very cold. ,!“ The domain name of this site is the full spelling, please remember the domain name of this site! ”

First of all, starting from Zhou Xin, Zheng Lang's mothers are sick in winter, and the elderly are sick, three mothers are eight, four mothers and five mothers are more than seventy, and the youngest six mothers and seven mothers are also in their sixties.

Life is rare for seventy years, that was the Tang Dynasty, the living conditions of the Song Dynasty gradually went up, and the life expectancy of people gradually went up. Wen Yanbo lived to be more than 90 years old, Fu Bi also lived to be 80 years old, Pang Ji lived in poverty since he was a child, and he lived to be more than 70 years old.

But getting older is not good in the end.

In particular, Sanniang and Siniang were seriously ill, Zheng Lang had to reduce the time to go down for inspections, and the five ministers of the river, He Tan, Cheng Shimeng, Tian Yu, Zhou Xin, and Yuan Xuan, had to bear more affairs. Zheng Lang took the lead, and the rewards and punishments were relatively fair, and the officials below could not all be turned into Jiao Yulu, but their enthusiasm was high, including the five ministers. Zhou Xin was old, overworked, and some people in the court were vaguely looking for trouble, and he was in a bad mood and died of serious illness. The imperial court posthumously presented the Ministry of Works. Then he went to Yuan Qian and became seriously ill and had to return to his hometown.

The impact was not great, at this time, the river work gradually reached the final stage, and another person died, but Zheng Lang felt very sorry, Pang Ji.

was dragged into the water by himself, even if he resigned from the phase, he still assisted the ministers in handling government affairs in the Chinese book. If there is no Pang nationality, the government will be worse, at least in terms of fiscal revenue.

This tiredness, at the end of the year, finally died three months early, abolished the dynasty, laid a lay, hung his family, gave the secretary and servant, Zhuang Min.

Zhao Zhen felt pity, but he didn't know that Pang Ji's death was a milestone. Zheng Lang couldn't help but think of the historical fact that when Zhao Ji ascended the throne in history, he actually lost more than 100 million yuan a year. If so, even if he lays a good foundation, it will not be enough for Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu to toss.

That's fine.

Crisis is vitality, without this toss, we may not know what the word cherishes is.

Then Sanniang's condition became more and more serious, and when she was dying, she called Zheng Lang and the other four Niangniang. muttered: "If you want to believe in the Buddha, maybe our Zheng family can have another son." ”

Liuniang said eagerly: "Third sister, our Zheng Lang has no son. ”

Zheng Lang nodded to Cui Xian.

Cui Xian understood, walked out, called Zhao Niannu, and then sent his subordinates out, Zhao Niannu said to Li Gui: "Kneel down." ”

Li Gui's eyes widened and he thought about it. Still listen to my mother's words and kneel beside Sanniang's bed.

Liuniang and Qiniang were so anxious that they wanted to pull Li Gui up, but they suddenly reacted and opened their mouths wide.

Thunder.

Sanniangniang sighed and said: "It's just a single seedling, but unfortunately I don't dare to be surnamed Zheng." ”

Then close your eyes.

Sanniang passed away, and Siniangniang was seriously ill. Wu Niang also fell ill from time to time, and Zheng Lang finally lost his mind and wrote a resignation letter, asking for mourning.

But he recommended a person to come and take charge of the river workers, Ouyang Xiu.

Ouyang Xiu knows a little bit about water conservancy, whether he really understands it or not, it's not a big problem, anyway, it's the sweeping stage, and there are two officials from Cheng Tian to help. At least the disadvantages of the Six Towers River were the first to be objected to by Ouyang Xiu.

This is to employ people without avoiding relatives and enemies.

Not really. If you really consider insiders, whether Cheng Shimeng or Tian Yu are more proficient in water conservancy than Ouyang Xiu.

Forced by the current situation, Zhao Zhen was in the first dynasty, first Wang Ding, then Fan Lu, and then Zheng Jia, and then it seemed that a hundred flowers were blooming, but in fact he had become Zheng Wen, and Zheng Lang was far away from the capital at that time. I don't see the effect. By Han Zheng, it has become clear.

Zheng Lang's influence surpassed Han Qi's. However, the real power faction is still in the hands of the Korean ministers.

Once Zheng Lang leaves Hegong, it's time to divide the cake. I don't know how to spoil it. The light ones cannot protect Tian Cheng and other ministers with river merit, and the heavy ones affect the final completion time. Let Ouyang Xiu share the largest and smoothest piece of cake in the end, and there will be no such worries. It's a compromise, and it's a smart move.

After Ouyang Xiu saw the twists, he was eager to try.

At this time, when I go to Hegong, I will pick up the sky's cheapest. There is no need to deal with even disputes over the occupation of cultivated land, and they have already been dealt with.

However, this letter caused a lot of controversy.

First of all, Yang Jin said no, according to reason, Zheng Lang can only ask for the funeral of the eldest lady, and nothing else, including Siniang. This is etiquette. can't be invited, if pleased, Zheng Lang still has five mothers, don't be an official, slowly keep the funeral filial piety.

Yang Jin is not entirely right.

If Siniang was kicked out after the death of Zheng Lang's biological father, or if the eldest mother used some method to force her to remarry, this filial piety does not have to be kept. But in the Zheng family, you can't ignore it. But Sanniang's nature is different, she is a concubine, not a biological mother, it doesn't matter if Zheng Lang keeps it or not.

There was a chorus of echoes.

However, some people say that the country rules the world with filial piety, and Zheng Lang's mothers regard Zheng Lang as their own son, and it is unreasonable to not keep the funeral. If Zheng Lang himself puts the country first, and does not mourn or force it, but Zheng Lang puts filial piety first, and even the river workers are put down, why is Zheng Lang not allowed to ask for mourning?

A dispute arose between the two parties.

It seems to be fighting for filial piety, but in fact it is fighting for rights.

In the end, Han Qi shouted: "If there is mourning, what is the minister of the state." It's really not good, wait for a hundred days, and then issue an edict to win love. ”

At this time, Han Qi faintly had the demeanor of a "minister who cares about his life", and Zhao Zongshi was temporarily honest, which also allowed him to pull out, although some officials were not convinced, but Han Qi's prestige was getting heavier day by day. Zheng Lang didn't see the Chinese book, only he spoke.

With a drink, they were all dumbfounded.

Zhao Zhen thought about it, so he sat on the dragon chair and said, "Just according to Han Qing's opinion." ”

The others didn't argue too much, anyway, it was a hundred days of mourning, and the problem was not serious.

Ouyang Xiu immediately went to Yunzhou to hand over.

Zheng Lang spent a day instructing, feeling sad, but with such a big stall, Ouyang Xiuhu couldn't be allowed to come, so he was ready to leave Yunzhou with the coffin and return to Zhengzhou.

Before leaving, Ouyang Xiu suddenly stopped them and said, "Xingzhi, if you go back to Zhengzhou to keep filial piety, you can't take the emperor's grandson, Her Royal Highness the princess, and the little princess with you." ”

He underestimated Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji and Wang Anshi were overturned after a long time, and they actually have a bad reputation in history. Not to mention the ironic meaning of the word "God", let's just say how many derogatory words there are in his book. But in Zheng Lang's view, it's not right.

It is good to have deeds, but they are too rash and rash, and they have not handled the relationship between various ministers. To be an emperor, it is not necessary to learn that Zhu Yuanzhang and Yongzheng must bow to each other, Zhu Yuanzhang's physical fitness is undoubted, Yongzheng is sad and tired. The two are incomprehensible. The key is to employ people, and failing to use ministers well is dereliction of duty.

Therefore, Zhao Ji is not a Ming Jun, he can only say that he has good intentions, good intentions and bad things, and he is a gentleman of Chinese capital.

But we can't ignore his cleverness and achievements.

In fact, in the final analysis, Zhao Shu died early, and Zhao Shu was not given a good education in time, and Gao Tao delegated power early. Causing many bad results. The real Zhao Ji is talented, and what Zheng Lang is doing now is to make up for Zhao Ji's shortcomings.

Since Zhao Shu officially became the prince, Zheng Lang's education has further deepened him, and he has vaguely said some knowledge about political struggles.

Zhao Ji has eaten thoroughly, I don't know. But the simple ones can be known. Ouyang Xiu is coming with this momentum, what are you doing? Zheng Xianggong abandoned his opinions and let you eat this big cake and are you not satisfied? Before Zheng Lang could speak, Zhao Ji replied first: "Ouyang Gong, I came to Yunzhou on the orders of His Majesty to learn from Zheng Gong. You asked me to leave Zheng Gong and return to the capital, but there was an edict? ”

What is Ouyang Xiu's edict?

Zheng Lang snatched it up and blocked Zhao Ji behind him. said: "Uncle Yong, this way, I will go south to Liangshanluo from the waterway, and then from the Wuzhang River (Guangji River, Xiji Water) to the capital, and then go west to Zhengzhou along the Bianshui." Sailing against the current, it is relatively slow, you write a recital, and ask the court to issue an edict. Recall the royal grandson and princess to the capital. Just in time. ”

Ouyang Xiu also came to Yunzhou City from this waterway, but when he came, it was a smooth boat. If it is faster, Zheng Lang will go back very slowly. Ouyang Xiu thought about it, this is fine.

A group of people, with a lot of people, including Fan Qi, as well as the guards and eunuchs brought by Zhao Niannu and Zhao Ji, rented several boats, and only then did they board the ships one after another under the crowd.

After getting on the boat, Zhao Ji said: "Zheng Gong, why do you want to hold him." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, I'll tell you the reason later." Zheng Lang said and began to write a recital, taking the initiative to explain two things, the first thing is that I went back to Zhengzhou to ask for funeral, and asked the emperor and grandson to follow me to Zhengzhou. In fact, it is estimated that some people in the court have reacted.

began to argue that Zheng Langhe was not suitable to leave the river workers behind, and went back to Zhengzhou to ask for funeral, and they quarreled together. Go back by yourself, don't want Ouyang Xiu, there will be many ministers who will be impeached, and they may not all be uneasy and kind, it is against etiquette.

Continue to write, so I took a boat to the west, and when I arrived in the capital, I didn't have to wait for the imperial court's edict, and I would send the emperor's grandson and princess ashore. In addition, he went home to ask for funeral, had no official position, and was in the hinterland of the Central Plains, without tolerance, he only took 20 Tibetan cavalry back, and the rest of the Tibetan cavalry were sent back to the capital, so that they could go to the border to make contributions, which is the real role of Tibetan cavalry. Then let Zheng Su lead the eighty horses ashore, with the twists, sent to the capital.

Eighty horsemen and horses were loosened at once, and the ship became much lighter and faster.

Zhao Ji was about to go crazy, which reminded him of a figure in the Tang Dynasty, Lou Shide, who was spit on his face by others, and he didn't wipe it, why should he wipe it, didn't that show his anger at him?

He said: "Zheng Gong, I feel very depressed. ”

Zheng Lang is happy, let him repay him, Zheng Lang disdains it, but let him be Lou Shide, he can't do it.

In the middle of this, Zheng Lang is preparing to make good moves in the next step, including the corruption of the country's finances in the future, Zhao Ji's feelings for him, and Zhao Zongshi...... Not to live long, he learned the practice of two of his students.

Even if you go to hell, even if you go beyond these ghosts, you will use some unconventional means.

It's a pity that others don't have his golden finger, and no one will be able to see it.

Zheng Lang said: "Your Highness, you have also studied with me for more than a year, and I still have an attitude of not interfering in the affairs of the emperor's heir, but there is one sentence that I have always held in my heart." His Majesty has never had children, and it is not that he is unable to have children, so he has not established an heir. Once His Majesty's health fails, will he disregard the safety of the country and let the imperial heir hang high? Who will be the heir of the emperor? ”

Zhao Ji was silent.

Zheng Lang didn't intend to go into this topic, and used it as an introduction, and said: "Why do so many ministers advise to establish an imperial heir early? Some ministers are loyal beyond question, they are for the sake of the country, and they are afraid that the country will be turbulent in the future because of the emperor's heir. But some people's intentions are very strange, such as wanting to use the emperor's heir to transfer the Liuta River. Or for example, if you want to get this support. ”

"Shameful!"

"Your Highness, don't be angry, didn't I tell you, people are always greedy, today I became a magistrate, I still want to see Zhizhou, and I am a magistrate. I also want to look forward to the two systems of Taiwan, and I have done the two systems of Taiwan, and I want to hope for the prime minister. It is impossible for everyone to treat fame as dung. If you want to use people like that, the first result is that you don't need people, and the second result is that you become more and more hypocritical in order to please the king. If you are not afraid of real villains, you are afraid of hypocrites. It works well. You can use this official position to let officials do more political achievements as motivation. Therefore it is not to be ashamed. ”

"Zheng Gong's heart is as broad as the sea." Zhao Ji said, with Zheng Lang, he has been to the seashore and knows how wide the sea is.

"Don't boast, listen to me. This is the reason why His Royal Highness can't be angry for the first time, and the second reason why he can't be angry is because of the scheming of some people, Emperor Wenjing is a good emperor, but he is not the smartest person at that time, why he can be an emperor is because of blood. But Your Highness, you are the only one who has the blood of Your Highness? ”

Although Zhao Zongshi does not live long, he may have several sons.

"It doesn't matter."

"You are the son of an elder. How can you say that it doesn't matter, if you don't go up, the end may not be like Li Chengqi (Li Longji's eldest brother). Every time the imperial heir transitions, there are few who can be safe, but there are many ugly ones. ”

Zhao Ji was speechless.

"In the event of misfortune on the part of Your Majesty, the prince shall be the king, and the ministers who will be appointed will be more powerful. If they join forces to defect. What happened to Your Highness? ”

Zhao Ji said: "They dare." ”

"There's nothing you don't dare. Not only do they dare, but they will also be righteous. If His Highness goes down, not only may it not end well, but it will also let some people's pen and ink cut down, leaving a stench for thousands of years. Remember what I said, what is a history book? It was written by people, and the good and bad are all in the author's numbers. ”

"Gong Zheng, why am I more depressed?"

"To learn this kind of suffocation, for now, you'd better not have too many arguments with them. Not only to protect yourself, but also for the future of the country, the safety of the society, the love of father and son, and the love of brothers. After all, if there is a change in the East Palace, there will be too many ugly things happening every time it changes. You have also read the history books, and I believe that you have some experience. Many things are the same, just like the art of war, there are advances and retreats, there are detours, there are transfers, sometimes retreat is to advance, sometimes advance is to retreat. It may not be beneficial for you to make the right concession at the right time. Look at the I Ching more, don't think about using it for divination, but think about the dialectical view in it. ”

"Whoa." Zhao Ji finally lowered his arrogant head.

"Uncle Ouyang Yong is not unreasonable, I will go back to Zhengzhou to ask for filial piety, it is not good for you to follow. What is the biggest I am towards, the sky and the earth are big, and the truth is the greatest," it stands to reason that this is a good thing, but the corners of Zheng Lang's mouth showed a faint sneer.

"I don't see any reason."

"Yes, the truth is also what people say, what is the truth, the reason for the avenue, how many people can see the real truth, and the history books, are all dressed up by people, the truth in the mouth of the world may not be the truth, even if you find the truth, you must learn to be moderately involved, little by little efforts, so that everyone can finally see this truth, accept this truth, you must not force it."

Zhao Ji may not be able to understand, but time is pressing, so Zheng Lang has to forcibly indoctrinate him. He added: "At least now Uncle Ouyang Yong is holding a seeming truth. ”

"Why do you say it seems?"

"If there is no accident, His Highness will be the master of the country in the future, how important is the quality of a person to the country? Although I am not talented, I believe that I will grow up to be a good master under the Education Highness, and no one in the world may be able to beat me. For the sake of some of his own selfish thoughts, for the sake of the so-called etiquette, let His Highness return to Beijing in a hurry, even if it is a reason, it is only a seeming truth. ”

"Gong Zheng, you play Chen Xu."

"Your Highness, as I said, you have to learn to lead, what Uncle Ouyang Yong said seems to be true, but this seemingly truth will be recognized by more than ninety percent of the scholars, what strength do I have to fight against more than ninety percent of the scholars?"

"Gong Zheng, the more I listen, the more confused I become."

"It's okay, you just need to remember my words, the ship will return to Beijing immediately when it arrives in the capital, some people, don't fight with them, keep a low profile, see more and think less about it!"

"Yes."

"I don't have much time to teach you, first teach you one thing, is Your Majesty a good emperor?"

"Yes."

"He's only in his early fifties, it's the golden hour of people, why is he so sickly?" Zheng Lang's words are not false, going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, or doing hard work, twenty to forty years old is just right, but as an official or a man, if you can maintain your old age and not be greedy for pleasure, the best time is between fifty and sixty years old. Mature thinking, experience and qualifications, as well as life perception and experience in handling government affairs. But this has a premise, we can't indulge in pleasure, otherwise the worse we get in our old age, and the more evil we do.

Zhao Ji didn't think about this, he was thinking about the reason why Zhao Zhen's health was not good, and he thought of some of it, but he didn't dare to say it.

"The first Majesty in order to pass on the lineage, a little indulged in women, I vaguely used the balance of yang and yin to persuade me, Your Majesty did not listen, cherish the domain. Moreover, if you are too strict with yourself, you can't be extravagant and contented with pleasure, but you must be well fed and clothed, maintain correct eating habits, work and rest habits, and combine movement and static, then you will have a healthy body. A healthy body has the wisdom to judge right and wrong, and to handle government affairs. Not to protect and cherish the body, but to the country. ”

"Gong Zheng, I also saw what you did," Zhao Ji bowed.

Zheng Lang is also very busy, and he has to take time to teach Zhao Ji, even busier. However, the life and diet are reasonable, and sometimes there are too many official duties, and when I am tired of dealing with it, I sit down and stroke the piano. It's not Yaxing, it's for the combination of work and rest. Zheng Lang looked at him and taught by example, this is also important. This kid doesn't live long, leaving a lot of messes, in fact, it doesn't take much, if he can live to be sixty or seventy years old, then Zhao Ji's kid will be on the throne?

He didn't say it anymore, and said, "Next, I will preach the way of your most important master, the way of the minister." ”

"I ...... I ......"

"Let's take precautions, let's talk about the way of employing people of the two people, the first is the Tang Ming Emperor, the early talent was used well, so there was the prosperous era of Kaiyuan, and the later people were not used well, so there was the Anshi Rebellion. And then said that His Majesty today, His Majesty did not use good ministers well at first, but has been growing. After the Qingli New Deal, the ability to employ people entered Dacheng, but unfortunately it began to decline again in recent years. For our dynasty, the way of employing people is more important. Many scholars and doctors have misunderstandings, believing that the truth is the greatest and the society is the greatest, but they cannot see the truth, they are stubborn, and insist on what they say is good, and they are unruly when they say that they are not good. If we can't grasp the way of employing people and controlling the way of ministers, the country will be in chaos. ”

"Where's the chaos?"

"Party strife, scholars and doctors split, government decrees are changed day by day, and the country is gradually disintegrating in the midst of internal strife." After Zheng Lang finished speaking, he began to make detailed comments on Li Longji and Zhao Zhen's life employment, and even asked Zhao Zhen to interact with him and discuss with each other.

The ship is coming, and the capital is approaching day by day.

ps: In the second half of last night, I made a change, and I felt that my feelings were too erupting, and I didn't agree, so I pushed down all the modifications. Last month, I changed 390,000 words, so as to ask for your guaranteed monthly pass. Just fight for this month.
