"Ho Xi?"

"When the feast is gone, you will rejoice."

Fu Bi had no choice but to keep silent and see what Zheng Lang said, which could make him change his mood from sad to happy.

Zheng Lang looked at Little Lady Fan and asked, "Yue'er, what are you doing?" ”

"The guy in the building asked how to receive the guests in the east bed, and the concubine came to ask you." The last time I came, the Fan family was happy, but Zheng Lang had to give money, but asked Zheng Lang to break the bank. This time Zheng Lang came again, I don't know how to entertain him.

"Although you are the best dish in your Fan Lou, you don't have to spend money on the precious dishes such as the wisps of golden incense medicine, the embroidered gluttonous eight fruit bases, and the Lexian dried fruit fork bag, and those Kabuki don't have to let them come, and you don't want me to like this," the last sentence was whispered in Fan Yue'er's ear.

Fan Jiangyue's face turned red, and she said, "The concubine won't be angry...... Angry. ”

Tell the guy to serve the food.

"Yue'er, you sit down too."

"The concubine doesn't dare."

"I don't drink much, and many of you like to drink booze, so you will accompany your brothers on my behalf."

Lu Gong didn't dare to make a sound, and these five people had no opinion, the concubines of the Zheng family were different from the concubines of other people's families, which was almost equivalent to a flat wife, and the Fan family was also a person with status. Of course, several people have a good relationship with Zheng Lang, otherwise they would have lost their dignity by letting Fan Yue'er accompany them to drink, or they would lose their respect for Fan Yue'er and treat her as a prostitute.

Fu Bi said: "I drink very well, little lady Fan." ”

"Don't be careless," Zheng Lang heyran, he didn't know before, but he came too many times. Zheng Lang only knew about Fan Yue'er's drinking. But it's no wonder that her family makes wine, and the amount of wine brewed in a day is staggering. When I was a child, I ate and drank secretly. Under the influence of this environment, how can the amount of alcohol not be large.

Wine comes up, several dishes come up in a row. Zheng Lang asked Fan Yue'er to toast everyone, and then got down to business: "There is no appointment." ”

Everyone has a gift in their hearts, Zhong Yue is Wang Su, and Zheng Lang mentions him with new ideas, which shows that it will also be the cornerstone of Zheng Lang's re-reform in the future. But a few people still don't know the significance of this gathering. Zheng Lang said: "Let's talk about the defeat of the new law first, at the beginning, Xiwen had ten new policies, and six were aimed at personnel. So I didn't like it. Although Brother Xiwen's intentions are good, if he wants to reform, he must have a clear environment for officials up and down. But why did Shen Gong use some officials, and many of you Qingliu were not convinced, saying that he formed a party for personal gain? He used a few officials, and you ...... from top to bottom."

Shake one’s head.

Zheng Lang didn't want to mention it, and compared people's hearts to his own hearts. How not to mess up?

"Neither Shen Gong nor Xiwen has thought about a question, saying that there is tolerance is too big to be empty, how can people not have a little selfishness? It is precisely because everyone is somewhat selfish, so the world is bustling, and they are fighting for profit. I'm not talking about money. Position, power, discipline, or fame, or money, etc. What you are fighting for is the word "temperance". The one who benefits the most is the official position, and the second is the money. Since ancient times, Shi farmers and industry and commerce, Shi is the first. Some businessmen are willing to give up tens of millions of family properties for a half-official position, and this is why they are willing to give up their property. That's where it is. I'm not saying that you build a party, as officials, you have different ideas, corrupt officials, incompetent officials, and you should be deposed. However, some officials think that doing a good job as an official is a good official and doing nothing, and that stability in the territory is a good rule for officials; some officials want to increase finances for the sake of the country, some officials want to be in prison and peace, some officials attach importance to agriculture, some officials attach importance to industry and commerce, and some do a good job, or increase grain, or increase wealth, or benefit the people, and some do things wrong and make mistakes. But their intentions are good. And the most important thing for your gentleman is moral exercise, not to mention whether you are true moral exercise or fake moral exercise, and even some people are strict with others, lenient with self-discipline, and increase the generation to investigate people's moral conduct, thinking that the ability of officials to govern is the ability of morality. Let's ask, if you hold this kind of thinking and press the officials, will the officials below obey? ”

Lu Gongzhu put down his pen and said: "Zheng Xianggong, I don't understand, I know that Xiwen is kind, but I faintly feel that there are many things that are not good. Yes, the monarchs are too one-sided. ”…,

"Remember, don't say much, now you are learning, and everything has nothing to do with you."

"Oh," Lu Gong honestly re-recorded.

"What is reform, to put it ugly, no matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, it is a good cat if it can catch mice."

After Zheng Lang finished speaking, Fan Yue'er couldn't help it, and put her petite fragrant body in Zheng Lang's arms and laughed.

Zeng Gongliang and Zhang Fangping couldn't help laughing and were happy.

"Although your intentions are good and your intentions are nobler, but they have not achieved any results, but have caused chaos in the world, it is not a good reform. However, as long as the results are seen, the country will be rich or strong, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and benefit from the new law, even if it is a change by the Shang Yang Legalists, it will be a good reform. That's why I said that your turbulent year-long changes are less than a three-white canal. ”

None of the five were ordinary people, and they began to ponder.

Cai Xiang said: "Xingzhi, why didn't you say it at the beginning? ”

"You are all donkeys, don't hit Nanshan and don't look back, I told you last year, one of you can listen."

Several people pounced again.

"Personnel reform is also necessary, but how can it be changed...... I'm really at a loss, and the implications are too great. If it is other reforms, it is better to compete for their benefits and give them benefits. Only personnel ......" Zheng Lang sighed.

As a latecomer, I have seen how many systems for the reform of officials have been used, and all kinds of means have been used. Even in a democratic country, it is impossible to stop official inaction, or greed for ink, this is a feudal era, how to prevent it?

Fortunately, because the national conditions are different, at least there will not be a large number of naked officials, otherwise it will be even worse.

"This is my biggest headache, how not to produce a turbulent rectification of officialdom? As for the rest, I have some ideas in my hands, throwing bricks and stones, and saying to you brothers, there is no need to implement it now, but brainstorming, how to implement it, benefit the country and the people, and there are few disputes, please think of a way, so that when you start, it will be more perfect. ”

Speaking of banks, the improved version of the Farmland and Water Conservancy Law, the Mining 28 Allocation System, the Fangtian Equalization Tax System, the Law of Actual Sealing and Casting (Auction System), River Crossing Money, the Reduction of Redundant Officials, the Reduction of Surplus Expenses, the Art of War, the Placement of Weapons Supervisors, and some of the ideas for improving the imperial examination, the legal system, and education.

It's not just the idea, it's how each decree is implemented. All kinds of detailed steps are proposed, as well as detailed plans, and what kind of disputes will arise after implementation. Where the benefits are and where the disadvantages are, it is very clear.

"That's reform." Zhang Fangping said.

"Xingzhi, you have hurt us," Fu Bi looked up to the sky and sighed, he said part of the plan earlier, let's negotiate, this reform will also have some positive effects, why hide it?

"Yanguo, you haven't woken up yet. This is a change, no matter how you do it, there will be disputes, even if Your Majesty supports it, what will the officials evolve into when they get down? Brother Antao, tell me about it. When did I consult with you about the exemption law and the horse law? ”

"The summer before last."

"Why didn't I write the book after discussing it with Brother An Dao in the summer of the previous year, and then I further discussed and perfected it with Brother Zhigui and Brother Xiwen, until the end of the Battle of Dingchuanzhai. Because of the country's financial difficulties, it was brought into rule by war. The focus shifted to internal governance, and he was tired of hard labor, so he took advantage of the situation and introduced the tax exemption law. All kinds of bandits are rampant, the soldiers are cowardly, and the generals are incompetent, so the law of cutting war was introduced. The drought was severe and the food crisis was introduced. However, in order to implement it, it is necessary to constantly and carefully correct it, so as to reduce the malpractices and make the good law benefit the people of the country. In fact, the benefits will have to wait three or four years...... Is it as simple as you think? Handed over to you, is it a change, or is it a bad Fa? ”

Without your hands, she is an innocent virgin, and once she passes through your hands, she will be a bad dish, and no matter how good her daughter-in-law is, she will become an old prostitute that no one wants!

Fu Bi and Cai Xiang glanced at each other, not knowing what to say.

Zhang Fangping, Wang Yaochen, and Zeng Gongliang flashed with a sparkle in their eyes. …,

This is the change of law, thoughtful, cautious, even taking into account the interests of many aspects, taking into account the interests, and having few people who oppose it, so that there will be no chaos and only then can it be implemented.

Zheng Lang took the record written by Lu Gong and took a look at it, and said to Zeng Gongliang: "Brother Ming Zhong, you can take this record back and polish it and give it to Your Majesty." So as not to give a tongue in the tongue. ”

In fact, there is another intention, Your Majesty, if you make me the prime minister and let me reform the country, then these people will have to be reused in the future, otherwise I will definitely not be able to play without help.

"Okay," Zeng Gongliang understood.

This person was a famous politician, military strategist, munitionist, and thinker in the future Song Dynasty, and he was also a ...... Reformer but he has a generous personality, unlike Ouyang Xiu, although they are talented, they are exaggerated and impetuous, so Zheng Lang values it very much, and when he speaks for Zhao Zhenjin, he deliberately puts down his body, befriends him, and talks very happily, because of his gentle personality, they all belong to a person who breathes out of his nostrils.

Zheng Lang said again: "Brother Yanguo, Brother Junmo, Brother Boyong, you are all inspirational courtiers who want the country to be richer and stronger, aren't you happy after listening to my words?" ”

"Alas, alas," Fu Bi sighed again and again, not knowing whether to be happy or sad. As a result, this night, Fu Bi was very drunk.

Zeng Gongliang sorted out the records and handed them over to Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen immediately announced Zheng Lang into the inner palace and pointed out that this piece of music was a good thing to say. Zheng Lang said: "Your Majesty, the favor of the minister, rare in ancient times, the Khitan and the Western Xia war is imminent, and then the minister will go to the Khitan by appointment, although the minister is making arrangements, but go to the north alone, life and death are unpredictable, the minister is also worried about what happens, so he and Fu Bi, Cai Xiang, Wang Yaochen and Zeng Gongliang, Zhang Fangping said the thoughts of these ministers. ”

In fact, the plan is almost ready, and the sad cards still have to be played. If you don't seek glory and wealth, it's almost the top, and if you worship as the prime minister, what else can you ask for? But ask Zhao Zhen to redouble his trust, without the emperor's trust, any reform is equal to zero.

Zhao Zhen sighed.

"Your Majesty, this is just the minister's idea, many details have not been thought through, the new deal has already produced a lot of turmoil, and the implementation of these incomplete changes will make matters worse. Therefore, the ministers thought that it could not be carried out, and it should not even be passed on to the foreign ministers, so as not to cause suspicion. ”

Taking out these clauses to the minister at the moment will produce a lot of ideas, but it is not beautiful, Zhao Zhen was stunned and said: "Accurate." ”

Fu Bi went to Hebei, just in time for one thing, Baozhou soldiers Wei Gui, Shi Keshun and Shi Qizhen led other soldiers to rebel, the reason was also a conflict with the boss, coupled with the soft policy of the Northern Song Dynasty, some soldiers were lawless.

Dingzhou Zhizhou Wang Guo led his troops to attack the city of Baozhou, so the imperial court Fubi and Tian Guo went to announce the decree, if the city gate is opened and surrendered, all care, such as refusal, more attack, it is in the camp to live with flesh and blood relatives, both old and young are poked at it.

Rebelled last year. can also say that there is a wish, this year's wind and rain are smooth, and there is a lot of soldiers' salaries. If you can't move at every turn because your boss is slightly unfair, you will coerce the public to rebel and pay it back? Tian Guo went to announce the edict, but the thief refused to surrender. shouted: "We have to come to Li Bujun before we surrender." ”

That is, the incompetent Li Zhaoliang mentioned by Ouyang Xiu, this person has a good way of governing the army and has a lot of prestige in the army. Tian Guo called Li Zhaoliang over, but the thief didn't believe it. Tian Guo had no choice but to ask the fierce general Guo Kui to attack the city. Guo Kui and the rebellious Shi Qizhen were both Fan Zhongyan's subordinates, but the two were in different circumstances. The two know each other. Guo Kui went to the city and shouted: "I am Guo Kui, you get off the rope, and I will go to the city to talk to you." ”

Shi Qizhen put down the rope and let Guo Kui climb up to the top of the city, Guo Kui said: "I am the official of the imperial court, don't I love myself, if there is no integrity." Can you climb the city? And the court knows that you do not intend to plot rebellion, but that the officials have been unreasonable to you, and have caused you to do so. Now forgive your sins, give you the rank of Lu, and make the ministers of the two systems play an edict. What else do you have to doubt, that if you do not believe the edict? How can the ministers of the two systems talk nonsense? The thieves looked at each other and said, "If this is the case, send one or two more people to the city with the edict for us to read." ”…,

Fuden the city with an edict to the head of the city, so the door was opened and surrendered, and more than 2,000 people surrendered, including 429 rebels. Tian Guo got his name, and actually sent Yang Huaimin to lead his troops into the city and kill them all.

If you don't believe it, it's fun to follow.

Zheng Lang shook his head after hearing this. It's hard to say whether it's good or bad, these soldiers are full of food and panic, and if they don't kill, it's not enough to punish the vigilance.

In addition to this incident, the Song Dynasty gradually got better, and as the autumn harvest gradually ended, the warehouses gradually became full, and the wealth became more and more relaxed.

At this time, there was a newspaper in Zhengzhou, saying that the eldest mother was very sick and dying.

Zheng Lang was anxious when he heard this, and entered the palace to ask Zhao Zhen for leave. Zhao Zhen has a headache, just one mother, and there are six mothers behind. But this is filial piety, and the minister cannot be made unfilial, so he has to agree. Zheng Lang left the capital in a hurry, and when he passed by Zhengzhou City, he went to Lu Yijian's mansion to visit Lu Yijian. Lu Yijian sighed: "Xingzhi, your mother is sick at the wrong time." ”

As soon as Zheng Lang left the capital, the most stable banner fell.

Where can Zheng Lang listen, what kind of country, if you can save it, you can save it, if you can't save it, you can't let one of us pick it up, just don't hear it, go home immediately.

Just in time, the eldest mother was seriously ill and passed away soon. got old, there was no way, and then Erniang fell ill again. Zhao Zhen really has no choice this time, he must keep filial piety.

The saddest thing is the little lady of the Fan family, with tears in her eyes, she originally said that Chongyang had passed the door, but this time she soaked in the soup again.

In September, Lu Yijian died, and he gave the Taishi, Zhongshu Ling, Zhen Wenjing, Zhao Zhen miserable, and gave him the three words of Huaizhong Monument. It doesn't matter, the saddest thing is that later generations wronged Lu Yijian for harming the Qingli New Deal...... That is something, if there is no recommendation from Lu Yijian, Fan Han would not be able to be the prime minister.

Fan Fu left, and Ouyang Xiu, the biggest inverted stick, became a thorn in his eye, and he became the capital of Hebei. Sun Fu and Cai Xiang asked to stay, but Yan Shu disagreed. The two opened a past public case and said that Yan Shu did not indicate the mother-son relationship on Concubine Li Chen's epitaph, and had bad intentions. Zhao Zhen was stunned, turned the archive out, and sure enough, there was such a thing. After so many years, he has no resentment towards Liu E, but he can't tolerate the mother-son relationship being erased by the minister, and Yan Shu is degraded to the governor of Yingzhou......

The saddest thing is his special relationship, he is the great benefactor of Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu, and the father-in-law of Fubi, but because of different political views, the Junzi Party does not like it, but because of this relationship, the Lilliputian Party does not love it. That's how it came to an end. After Zheng Lang heard this, he felt sorry for him, don't think that it is a good thing to accept the sons of Fan Lu and the others as students, and it will be self-defeating if you don't do it well.

In October, Cai Xiang and Sun Fu argued that the new prime minister Chen Zhizhong should not be the prime minister, but they did not listen, and both of them came out.

Seeing this situation, Du Yan's son-in-law Su Shunqin sold the unsealed waste paper according to the custom, and took advantage of the time to enter the shrine of the Academy, and took advantage of the time to summon prostitutes to entertain and banquet guests and friends. After a while, the wine was high, and he was dissolute, doing everything. Wang Shu's son Wang Yirou was even more crazy and wrote a poem: Drunk and lying in the North Pole to send the emperor to help, and Confucius of Zhou was driven into slavery. It's to describe Li Taibai, but Li Bai is not so bold. Let the emperor be a servant, and Confucius and Zhou Gong be a slave, if it is placed in the Qing Dynasty, I don't know how many people will be killed.

Not only that, Wang Zhu also drank high, and actually ran to the prostitute to hug a beautiful girl he liked, chatting and flirting in the concert house......

One of the guests was named Li Ding, and when he saw that it was not good, he quietly left and went to the Yushitai to tell the truth. How deep is Wang Gongchen's hatred, deeper than the sea, and how far away is his hatred, even farther than Siberia. After hearing this, he was overjoyed and said, "I will do it all in one fell swoop!" "Immediately send his subordinates to inquire about Yu Zhou and impeach Liu Yuanyu.

All of them were caught in Kaifeng Mansion for interrogation.

Wang Yirou was beheaded, and all the people involved in the case were never hired. Han Qi pleaded: "Yesterday, I heard that the eunuchs were in a hurry to arrest the officials of the pavilion, and the public was shocked, Shun Qin was only drunk, as for Fu Youzhi?" ”…,

Song Qi and Zhang Fangping interceded for him again, and killed Wang Yirou as the rebellious arrogant song, and the others were punished lightly. Han Qi persuaded again: "Yirou is young and crazy, how can he be deeply cured? There are so many major events in the world, and the ministers are closely related to the country, so they don't say anything, but what is the meaning of attacking a king Yirou? It's not the reason for Aoge. ”

Zhao Zhen was silent, and the sentence was changed to Liu Xun, the supervisor of the Academy, and Su Shunqin, the manager of Jixian School, and removed his name and was suspended; Zhilong Pavilion and Tianzhang Pavilion waiter, history museum review Wang Zhu, Luoshou speak, review, know Haozhou; Jiang Xiu reinstated Caizhou tax, Wang Yirou supervised Caizhou tax, and settled in the school; Zhou Yanjun, the son of Dr. Zhou Qi, was the secretary, Zhang Mintong, the manager of Jixian School and Fan Zhongyan's good friend, sentenced Jiangzhou, and Zhiji Xianyuan and the initiates lived in the same place, and Lu Qin, the prince of the palace, let the state tax of the palace be supervised, and Song Minqiu, the son of Song Shou, the ruler of the pavilion, signed the official matter of the Jiqing Military Festival, and will be the supervisor Xu Shou to supervise the tax of Ye County in Ruzhou.

Many, many......

But the problem is not here, they are all second-level members of the Junzi Party, there was originally a public case of Yihuo that was not clarified, and another drunk and lying in the North Pole sent the emperor to help, and Confucius of Zhou was driven into slavery. What do people think?

Fan Zhongyan saw that it was not good, and wrote to ask him to be dismissed from the governor's office, and the reason why he retained this post was to continue the reform. Zhao Zhen hesitated, and Zhang Dexiang secretly made a push, saying: "Zhongyan is known for his false reputation, once he is allowed to dismiss the prime minister, I am afraid that the world will think that His Majesty despises the virtuous minister." It's better to give an edict and not allow it, if Fan Zhongyan has a thank you table, he is deliberately defrauding His Majesty, but it can be stopped. ”

Fan Zhongyan saw that Zhao Zhen disagreed, and was still nostalgic for the new deal, so he wrote a thank you sheet half-pushed......

Sadly, Zhao Zhen's letter was like a word, and he stopped participating in political affairs.

Zhang Dexiang is the external cause, and the internal cause is Zhao Zhen. Fan Zhongyan is not bad in nature and is a moral gentleman, but if his banner is erected, his younger brothers will not be stable. Not only Zhao Zhen thinks so, but Zhang Dexiang also thinks so, he is a happy and quiet minister, and he has long been unaccustomed to the chaos brought about by the new law, so he pushed it.

It happened that Fu Bi was recalled from Hebei, and Qian Mingyi said: "Fu Bi is more worried, where he is recommended, he will coerce his friends, and those who love will advocate with all his heart, and those who do not attach to him will be rejected, and they will fear the same dynasty and Zhongyan." ”

So a dismissal.

Because the Junzi Party dealt with himself more, Chen Zhizhong was dissatisfied with the Junzi Party and clashed with Du Yan, Wang Gongchen, Jia Changchao and others echoed it, overthrew Du Yan, and went out of Du Yan Zhiyanzhou.

Han Qi became the real boss of the gentlemen's party in the court, but he also became a single boss, and he was also demoted from the court in March......

Only the peace with Xixia made Zheng Lang very satisfied. Without Zheng Lang in the court, a few bigwigs were soft, allowing them to pay 100,000 horses of silk in Xixia, 30,000 taels of silver, 20,000 catties of tea, and the reward was still the same, that is, 200,000. is only 50,000 less than in history, and Yuan Hao is famous, not a vulture. But later Yuan Hao changed his name to Wushu Xiaoxiao and continued to be Zhao Zhen's grandfather......

He was given the lord of Yuanhao, and he was given the royal clothes, gold belts, silver saddles, 20,000 taels of silver, 20,000 horses of silk, and 30,000 catties of tea.

This is what makes Zheng Lang very dissatisfied, but there is one place that is very satisfied, after the peace is discussed in history, the two countries are not allowed to contain each other's people, or let the other party's people enter the other realm, because he proposed a counter-plan, Zhao Zhen did not say, it is estimated that Yuan Hao did not expect that he also wanted to steal salt, and also wanted to send scouts to sneak into the Song Realm to check, so he did not mention it, which left a lot of room for future operations.

The court seemed to be in a lifeless state again, life and death, in the middle of a line...... (To be continued) RQ
