"Why?" Zhao Zhen said unceremoniously.

Liang Shi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, when Your Majesty was young in the Heavenly Saint Year, he already favored Zheng Lang, this is the vision of the Holy Monarch, and it is destined that my Great Song Dynasty will become a legend." ”

Several prime ministers wanted to vomit.

In Zhao Zhenchao, if you want to shoot a sycophant, you have to be knowledgeable, if it is too obvious, it may not be a good thing, and it may make Yanchen spray to death.

But after spitting it out, it does make five senses.

Zheng Lang said that the relationship between knives and people, the way of kings and ministers is the same, King Wen of Zhou met Jiang Ziya, Jiang Ziya is very good, definitely more bullish than King Wen of Zhou, so Zhou Chaoxing. Shang Tang uses Yi Yin, and Yi Yin is also better than Shang Tang Niu, Shang Chaoxing. Liu Bang used Xiao He, Xiao He was also better than Liu Bang, Han Xin fled, Liu Bang treated it as if there was no such thing, Xiao He rode a horse, ran and ran under the moon, and caught up with Han Xin, Han Chaoxing. There are many more examples, Qi Huan Gong and Guan Zhong, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, Fu Jian and Wang Meng.

Why is the former an emperor and the latter a courtier?

It can't be explained by Wang Ba's anger, that is the way to know people and control people, no matter how good Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Han Xin is, Liu Bang is just a little rascal, but the three are used by him, not by him, so one is a gentleman and the other is a minister. Just like a knife, it can cut carrots, slaughter chickens and kill cows, stab people, and chop vegetable roots, and can also be used to put it on her husband's little jj to intimidate her husband not to look for a mistress outside, but no matter how powerful the knife is, the knife is always a knife, and it is not the knife itself that uses the knife well, but the person who uses the knife.

Zheng Lang was very powerful when he was a teenager, but there were not too many genius children in the Song Dynasty, and the emperor was not big at that time, but he valued it and pampered him, which made Xiao Zheng so moved that he was a mess, the wind came and went in the rain, the knife rolled, and the oil turned over. Regrets. This is the ability, the emperor's ability to know and control people.

As for Liu E's role in the middle, several ministers automatically ignored it, and a woman was embarrassed to put it on the table?

The real insider is not like this, Zheng Lang was still a small house when he was a teenager, and he spoke with an uncle's tone, although Zhao Zhen was older than him and spoke old-fashioned. For other emperors. It is possible to hold a grudge, such as that Mingshenzong, but Zhao Zhen is not, his personality is a bit like to be abused, Kong Daofu has abused him many times, and he has never been evil to Kong Daofu, and he has been posthumously gifted many times after he passed away, and he dared to abuse me. It's a loyal servant. Bao Zheng. Tang Jie and so on, the more Zhao Zhen was abused, the more Zhao Zhen paid attention to it. So that Zheng Lang sometimes doubted that Zhang Guifei was liked by Zhao Zhen, in addition to her gentle appearance, did she wear leather clothes at night in the dormitory, holding a leather whip in one hand and a candle in the other, and gave Zhao Zhen a few rolls of wax from time to time. Whip a few lashes.

Therefore, Zhao Zhen didn't care about this experience at all, and now that Liang Shi mentioned it, the corners of Zhao Zhen's mouth were filled with a smile.

Liang Shi regretted it a little, he knew that the emperor was this reaction, and he should have added more water. Anyway, Zheng Lang has been gone for several years, and there is no hindrance to himself. However, looking at the vigilant eyes of several prime ministers, especially Gao Ruonne, this idea was immediately interrupted.

"Reason," Zhao Zhen immediately came to his senses.

He can't go out outside the palace, but some little eunuchs often bring back news from outside the palace, and some people say that these years are the golden age, and he is not satisfied, and wants to create a platinum age, a gem age, and a diamond age.

In the middle, Zheng Lang will be an important chess piece.

Anyone can make mistakes, but Zheng Lang can't be wrong.

Don't fool me with any Destiny myth, you have to come up with some practical reasons.

"Your Majesty, although Yu Jing used Zheng Lang and his entourage as an example in the notebook. Why does Zheng Lang have a Khitan party? ”

Zhao Zhen was dumbfounded, and he didn't take the risk for his baby daughter.

"At that time, I was not able to go to war on both sides, and Zheng Lang was forced to agree. However, it is only a few brutes who are robbers, may it be compared to the situation at that time? Zheng Lang is not completely sure, is it worth the risk? ”…,

There is some truth to this analysis.

"Your Majesty, marching and fighting have their own styles, Di Qing is brave, Zheng Lang is wise, and the two cannot be compared. Because Zheng Lang is a civil servant and cannot take the lead, coupled with his low-key and humble character, he thinks that his military talent is not as good as Di Qing, but is it really not as good as that? Just looking at the fact that the Khitan and Western Xia have reached such a point now, can Di Qing do it? ”

This statement makes more sense.

Zheng Lang represents the scholars, Di Qing represents only the martial arts, among the several prime ministers, except for Pang Ji who can have a clear understanding, who will speak for Di Qing? If it weren't for Zheng Lang's attention to Di Qing, several prime ministers would have taken out small knives and carried out assassination activities behind Di Qing's back.

In fact, this is not the case at all, Zheng Lang is indeed inferior to Di Qing in terms of military attainments, not only inferior to Di Qing, but also very far away. The matter of Western Xia is the height of the golden finger and the future generations, the reason why Zheng Lang has this courage is that he understands the barbarians, which is better than the understanding of any minister in this era, so he dares to hold it up.

Zheng Lang dared to go, he was sure in his heart, but Liang Shi didn't say anything. It doesn't matter, Zheng Lang is inferior to Di Qing in terms of military talent, and these people are not even as good as Zheng Lang. After listening to Liang Shi's plausible reasons, he believed them one by one.

Zhao Zhen pondered for a long time and said, "Liang Qing, what you say is reasonable. ”

didn't call Yu Jing back, anyway, Zheng Lang said that it would be more than ten days, and soon there would be news back.

But Pang Ji was even more alert to Liang Shi, and after thinking about it, he couldn't think of what Liang Shi was doing.

The prime ministers retreated, Liang Shi was overjoyed, and today not only left a good impression on the emperor, but also took the first step to move Pang's nationality. It depends on whether Di Qing's kid is angry, if he fights for another breath, then the position of prime minister will be closer to him.

For Di Qing, the war is relatively simple, but for most Wenchen, the war is not only a war, it is not only a continuation of politics, a small battle of hundreds of soldiers in the south, but also involves the struggle for power and the battle for position, which is amazing, even more magical than Zheng Lang's 900 soldiers going to Wuling to quell the rebellion......

Zheng Lang's fleet continued to flow downstream, the speed of the boat was very fast, and the more he traveled to Tian Er, the brighter his eyes became.

The closer it is to Guangzhou, the more and more people there are, and the terrain becomes flat and open. Despite the serious damage caused by Nong Zhigao, the people's ability to recover cannot be underestimated, coupled with the tiger Zheng Lang in charge, several bad officials were demoted and punished one after another, and the officials did not dare to slack off, and gradually the two sides of the river regained their vitality.

Guangzhou, in particular, has become more and more prosperous since the establishment of the city department here during the Tang Dynasty. The Song Dynasty then set up a bank here, which further revitalized Guangzhou's economy. Arrive in Guangzhou at this time. It is almost impossible to see the severe trauma that Nong Zhigao has brought to Guangzhou.

Of course. That's impossible.

But people always have to live, not to live in pain, but also to face the future, the humble people have to struggle for firewood, rice, oil and salt every day, and have no time to cry for the death of their loved ones......

Moreover, he has had a long talk with Zheng Lang for a few days, and Zheng Lang is already drawing a wonderful future for Liangguang.

Guangnan East Road transfer envoy Yuan Qi, Tidian Prison Bao Ke, and Guangzhou Zhizhou Wei Qian welcomed out of the city gate, which had nothing to do with flattery. Zheng Lang also doesn't like to be like Zhao Zhen, who is still happy to be abused for no reason, but he wants Zheng Lang to pay attention to it. Show your real skills.

These three officials are all good officials, and they have no habit of flattery. When he arrived at the gate of the city, he only showed respect for everything Zheng Lang had done, and had no other meaning.

While entering the city, a few people talked, and they didn't say much cold words, but went directly to the topic, talking about the local officials.

Tian and the two glanced at each other. I was saying it in my heart. The name is really interesting and different.

Zheng Lang did not stop, he opened the mouth, and he had to deal with the life in more than ten days, time was precious, and he only stayed in Guangzhou for one day, and immediately transferred to Longchuan to the north. You can go north for a day. Tian Erren's face turned gloomy for a day. …,

It looks good in Guangzhou, and the further north you go, the less wonderful it is.

There were more and more mountains, and finally mountain after mountain, forest after forest, and the large clusters of intense greenery were so green that people felt oppressive.

This is still in Huizhou, if you go to Xunzhou, what will happen to Wuling?

Neither of them could imagine it in their heads.

All they see is appearances. I haven't seen the fierce folk customs, and when I heard that Nong Zhigao was coming, many unscrupulous children in Huizhou were not afraid, but ecstatic, ready to take advantage of the chaos to be big bandits and make a big profit, fortunately, Wang Han, Bao Ke and other officials suppressed it in time, otherwise it would become a trend of smoke everywhere.

Zheng Lang said that Lingnan is virgin land, a huge space bag, which can still hold a lot of things, but a little bit of things that have been loaded have too many bad colors, how to remove these colors, no less than a large-scale battle.

Zheng Lang didn't explain much, and continued to go north all the way, and finally stopped in Xunzhou.

Let the various chiefs and officers and soldiers who accompanied him get off the boat. But before entering the city and leaving the ship, all the soldiers took off their armor together and turned into civilian merchants, and Zheng Lang repeatedly instructed everyone to keep the identity of this group secret. I don't know what medicine Zheng Lang Hulu sells, but Zheng Lang's orders are related to military operations, and everyone dare not disobey.

As Zheng Lang said again, he would continue to hold the meeting here, but everyone was suspicious, Zheng Lang said, more than ten days, twelve days have passed, even if it is nineteen days, there are still seven days, how to achieve a great victory?

Even Tian Yu couldn't help but say worriedly: "Zheng Xianggong, there is not much time." ”

Zheng Lang opened his eyes wide, looked at Tian Yu, speechless, what kind of words did he say.

After resting for a night, Zheng Lang summoned the chiefs the next day and said, "Please pick out the people sent and go with so-and-so." ”

Everyone suddenly believed and hesitated, and each picked out a representative, a total of more than 200 people, and got on the boat.

The number of boats is increasing, but the boats have been replaced by smaller boats, and by this point, the water in Longchuan has begun to become shallow, and the big ships cannot sail.

Tian Yu and Zhou Xin also got on the boat, but they found an even more surprising scene.

When they arrived at the ship, all the soldiers were disguised as men, and the charioteers were escorted, and only a few of them were disguised as guards, but they were also private armed guards without armor. There are also large and small carts and boxes on the ship, and some of the boxes are not kept well, and when they are lifted to the ship, you can see that the boxes contain snow-white salt, and there are more valuable spices and fine silk in the other boxes, which attract the attention and amazement of some people on the shore.

There is nothing wrong with it, it is also okay to pretend to be a salt merchant and enter Wuling. The main problem is that the number of soldiers suddenly decreased, and there were only more than 400 people left, or more than 200 deputies. Originally, the number of soldiers was not enough, how did it become less and less? Even the hundred guards led by Zheng Lang disappeared, and they were the strongest fighting team.

Tian Yu couldn't help but ask again: "Zheng Xianggong, what about the other soldiers?" ”

"Zizhong, they will appear when it is time to appear." Zheng Lang made an answer that was equivalent to no answer.

But after Zheng Lang got on the boat, he met with a person.

A one-armed man knelt down and cried: "Zheng Xianggong, I'm disgraced." ”

It was Liu Gu, that old Liu.

As the leader of the Northwest Battlefield, the warrior who killed several Western Xia warriors, when Shengman appeared, did not fight, but chose to flee like a civilian official, which was more uncomfortable than killing him. Not only this, but if it is passed out, who will dare to hire him in the future?

These days, it's been drilling the horns.

"Liu Gu, you sit."

"I, I, I ......"

"I'll sit down."

Liu Gu sat down sadly and indignantly.

"Liu Gu, why did you choose to flee in the first place at that time?"

"I, I ......"

"It was not you who fled, but for the sake of others, and if you had resisted, you might have lost all your lives somewhere. Or if you don't make a judgment in time at that time, and you don't flee north but back, it is estimated that more people will die. What's wrong? sacrificed personal honor, but saved more than a hundred lives, which one is more important? ”…,

Liu Gu cried again.

"Do you want to regain your lost honor and bravery?"

"Yes."

"Think, please recall the situation of the barbarians at that time, and the situation of following the pious path." Zheng Lang said gently. This line must be kept secret, and I don't dare to ask for a guide from the local area, God knows what the guide will be? Therefore, he wrote an urgent letter and asked Fu Bi to send Lao Liu to Xunzhou.

"Subordinates obey."

"This looks like my subordinates," Zheng Lang complimented, then took out the map and asked for comparisons one by one.

As the two men asked and answered, the ship set sail.

Seven days, this is the first day!

The two were still talking, the fleet went north, leaving the suburbs of Xunzhou, the green mountains were hidden in the water, no, it was the green mountains overlapping and the water was urgent, the water was very blue, but many areas became very turbulent, the mountains were very green, and the green was about to come out.

From time to time, there is a singing voice of She Mante, a nation that likes to sing.

Now Zhou Tian and the others have reversed their impression of She Man because of Zheng Lang's conversation in the past few days. It's not that people are bad, it's that the court didn't do a good job. It's reasonable, but I'm still a little unhappy in my heart. This is all secondary, looking at these continuous mountains and mountains, and the reckless forests, Tian Yu and Zhou Xin both have greater doubts, the time is short, the troops are small, even a guide is still from a deserter, and he has only been to follow the Qianyan Road once, but how to defeat the barbarians?

Desperately thinking, desperately not understanding.
