Chapter 389

Agan City

There were marriage ties in China, and there were marriages in the Han Dynasty several times. The real and fake princesses were very powerful. Whether in the Huns or in Kucha, they made efforts for national peace. There were also Sui Dynasty, which was also powerful. By the Tang Dynasty, it became a rampant disaster.

Not only did he pay the price, but the princess also asked the Hu people to kill him better.

But the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was half of the Hu bloodline and was not ashamed of. The Tang Dynasty had strong military capabilities, condescending, and there was no shame in intermarriage.

Although the Zhao Kuangyin brothers were born into civilians, they attached importance to culture, ethics and Han-oriented ideas. Zheng Lang saw some officials despise the Qiang people on the edge, which was also a factor in the cause of this Han-oriented idea.

Some people in the court may not consider shame for the sake of peace, but how could Fu Bi tolerate it?

When Liu Liufu saw the angry look in Fu Bi's eyes, he talked with the emperor when he came and tried to extort the benefits, but he focused on harmony. This shows that the emperor did not want to start a war, and was afraid that the talk would collapse, so he hurriedly changed his words and said, "Yes, follow it." If you don't follow it, you can even block it with one thing. If you keep the king healthy and the people, you should not lose the old good.

If you don’t agree, let’s just keep going.

Fu Bi saw the Khitan's face clearly and really came to blackmail. What about marriage? Zhao Zhen's only daughter is very beautiful. Oh my god, how old is she, she is four years old! Last year, she was wet on Zheng Lang's pants and kissed him. Besides, your little prince is not old, so why are you married?

The Khitan proposed this article to be purely disgusting the Song Dynasty.

The results of the palace examination were released, which made the Khitans lose their minds when they made trouble.

But as soon as the list came out, some people were in a big uproar.

In history, Wang Anshi was chosen to be the top scorer because of his articles. After following Zheng Lang for many years, some radical ideas became a little calmer, but he was still the top scorer! The second place was Wang Gui, the third place was Han Jiang, and the fourth place was Yang Qian.

But new problems are coming again.

Wang Anshi was a student of Zheng Lang. Zheng Lang is now the deputy prime minister. His official position has not reached its peak, but his political achievements have reached its peak, and both civil and military achievements have made great achievements. According to the family rules of the Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi, as a student of Zheng Lang, also needs to avoid suspicion.

There are more strange things, such as Han Jiang, who has been a subordinate of Zheng Lang in Hangzhou. Yang Qian is Yang Cha's younger brother, and Yang Cha has also been an important subordinate of Zheng Lang. In addition, Yan Rong, a student of 87. Aside from Yan Rong, three of the top four, are related to Zheng Lang.

The ministers looked at the list and first lost their minds, and then made suggestions that this situation could not happen.

Zhao Zhen was also ridiculous and intentional, which was the ranking obtained by real talent and knowledge. Then discussing, Yang Qian won two yuan in a row, and made a lucky one, and simply pointed it as the top scorer, becoming another big three yuan in the Song Dynasty. Wang Gui had nothing to do with Zheng Lang, and from the third place to the second. Then choose the third place. According to principles, Wang Gui and Han Jiang already have official positions, so they should avoid suspicion. Han Jiang is Han Yi, and Wang Anshi is Zheng Lang. We weigh the pros and cons, and the third should be rewarded to Wang Anshi.

However, many ministers asked Tanhua to return Han Jiang. Anyway, they were all avoiding suspicion, so let's fight for their father. Zheng Lang has a bright future, but the Han family is stronger and Han Yi has a wider connection. Han Jiang is Han Yi's biological son, and Wang Anshi is only Zheng Lang's student.

Everyone was negligent, and even Han Jiang might not have been more likely to be Wang Anshi when he fought with his father.

There was only one Zheng Lang standing behind Wang Anshi, but there was still one person standing behind Zheng Lang, Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen was a little displeased and said, "Wang Anshi was originally the top scorer, so he passed the third place."

It's quiet.

The emperor said something, and he said it a little longer, but he was deliberately targeting Zheng Langlai.

Zheng Lang is harmless, and he is not a good man who can't fight back or scold him. He can see what Yang Kai is going to do now. He will make a comment in Cangzhou, and Zhao Zhen doesn't even look at the commentator, but he will file it directly.

The list was released, and many candidates were dumbfounded.

Zheng Lang had six students and four students who participated in the imperial examination, and they all passed the imperial examination at one time. There were also two people, who were Fan Zhongyan’s son, the teacher was Zheng Lang, and I was Fan Zhongyan. Is it still difficult to pass the imperial examination? What kind of hit rate is this?

Not only that, Zheng Lang taught not only knowledge, but also the ability to be a person and work, and to govern the government. With the same ranking, if you don’t enter the officialdom, you will be dismissed. Once you enter the officialdom, these knowledge of administration will immediately have different things.

Many people beat their chests and stamped their feet. Zheng Lang was just a teenager at the time. How could he not accept his son if he really forced him to be a student?

Think about it, even if Han Yibazi is of extraordinary qualifications, he dare not say that they all passed the Jinshi. He had to ask Zhao Zhen to open the back door, and all the scholars in the world protested.

Now that it’s not possible, Zheng Lang has a high position and is very busy, and he dares not force him to accept students, nor will he accept students. He has no time to teach his own students, so how could he accept new students?

Zhao Zhen laughed at the outside world's discussions and worked harder to create a child. If he could teach excellent students, he could teach a good prince.

The good mood disappeared, Xiao Temo and Liu Liufu arrived in the capital.

The two of them inquired all the way and asked about the battle in the northwest. Fu Bi let it go and asked them to inquire.

After thinking about it, we are not without people in the Song Dynasty. We are handsome and talented. We can even kill more than 10,000 Western Xia cavalry in a panic and flee. You Khitan must consider it.

After asking questions, one person finally attracted the attention of two messengers, Zheng Lang.

The more the two messengers listened, the more frightened they became. This man was Guan Zhong, the prime minister who achieved the hegemony of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period. He was knowledgeable, had the skills of making money, and had the skills of governing the country. He was also very capable of military skills and proficient in both literary and military strategies. No, this was an enlarged version of Guan Zhong, not a copy of Guan Zhong.

Fu Bi didn't care. There were capable people in our Song Dynasty, and you Khitan did not dare to attack our Song Dynasty. So they asked them to listen and showed them the book written by Zheng Lang.

But when we entered the capital, we saw some ministers with soft faces, and the two envoys regained their confidence. The rogues played again. What's the use of digging that trench on the border? We could jump over it by throwing some straw and reeds. If we don't, 100,000 cavalrymen dig the trench and fill it up with one bag of soil.

Leave afterwards.

The king and his ministers were gasping in the hall. Zhao Zhen didn't understand very well. He asked the ministers, was the project that our Song Dynasty spent decades to repair was really a tofu project? How could he get rid of it by throwing a little straw and reed?

It's not that powerful, but it's definitely a little bit.

Just like the garrison in Hebei, although it does not work, it is precisely because of the garrison that the Khitans focus on harmony. If there is no garrison, the Khitans would have another idea.

There were still people in the Song Dynasty.

With his memory, Wang Gongchen finally recalled various reasons in the past. The Khitans were responsible for the fact that Emperor Taizong of Song conquered Youzhou for no reason. Wang Gongchen said: "At that time, our dynasty started a war with the Later Han Dynasty, the Khitans sent envoys to the camp to send gifts, indicating neutrality. On the other side, reinforcements were sent to support the Later Han Dynasty, so the Battle of Shilingguan occurred. Emperor Taizong was angry that he was impermanent and sent troops. If there was any mistake, the Khitans were wrong first. How could he say that our dynasty Wuming attacked?"

Regardless of whether this reason is far-fetched or not, it is always a reason. Zhao Zhen was overjoyed.

But some ministers also proposed to fill the trenches to calm the anger of the Khitan.

Wang Gongchen said, "This is Liu Liufu's boastful words. He set up a dangerous country to defend the country and did not abolish it. This is the way for ancestors to limit the Rong cavalry. If the Liufu said, it would be better to invade and use it?"

Why remind us of such a big loophole? Wouldn’t it be better to stay and exploit it when it is really invaded?

Ignore them.

When talking about marriage, Zhao Zhen could no longer bear it and asked Jia Changchao to ask Liu Liufu and the eldest brother of Liao Yelu Chongyuan, who once took advantage of his mother's power and asked the Song Dynasty to have an affair with the Song Dynasty. Could the Song Dynasty agree?

Liu Liufu said: "This is good for the Empress Dowager, which is inconvenient to our country."

Inconvenience is disadvantageous, a tactful statement. If you agree, Yelu Chongyuan's ambition will be encouraged. The Liao Xingzong brothers' mismatch will inevitably be detrimental to the Khitan.

Jia Changchao asked, "That's right, your Khitan is asking for a marriage with King Liang. Will our Majesty be at ease?"

Liu Liufu cannot answer.

During this peace talks, three people performed very well, including Fu Bi, Jia Changchao and Wang Gongchen. These three people will sing a big show below.

There is nothing else now, and we are still working diligently to fight wits and tricks for the Song Dynasty and the Khitan envoys.

The king and his ministers made a statement that it is impossible to cede land, so the marriage can be discussed for a moment. The princess is too young and Zhao Zhen has only one child, but he can make an exception and choose a woman to marry him in the royal family.

That's it, Fu Bi jumped up in the court, almost turning the head of the palace.

Either give in and float a little more to the 300,000 yuan monies and add some annual monies. Either choose a royal woman or add a little annual monies. Choose one of the two, and the others cannot be agreed.

Liu Liufu was satisfied. It was you who asked for the increase. As for how much it would increase, we talked slowly. Suddenly, the topic changed and said, "Okay, you must send Zheng Lang to our Khitan. There are two reasons. My Majesty, my family has been admiring Zheng Lang's calligraphy for a long time. Zheng Lang is very friendly to our dynasty. Only when he goes to negotiate can it represent the sincerity of the Song Dynasty."

The monarch and ministers in the dynasty were sweating coldly.

This trick is so cruel. When Zheng Lang goes to the Khitan, can he still come back with Zheng Lang's talent? He makes money, military ability, and administrative ability, and that is worthy of the Khitan's shamelessness again.

If Zhao Zhen chooses, he would rather marry his daughter to the Khitan than let Zheng Lang go to the Khitan, and he would be withheld!

Liu Liufu said lightly again: "If you don't agree, you can only start a war!"

Fu Bi was so angry that he almost went up to take his big slap.

...

After Zheng Lang finished the discussion, he brought Wang Ji and Zhang Ji to the front of the blind melon, pointed at Zhang Ji and said, "This is General Zhang Ji, the new army of Deshun Army."

"I have long admired the name of the name."

In fact, he didn't know Zhang Ji at all. He just felt very vicious when he saw the scars on his face and forehead. How could the Tubo people be afraid of those with vicious faces? Don't there be too many evil people in their tribe?

Zheng Lang said: "General Zhang led 900 infantry soldiers with General Wang Kai of Linzhou on Fulin Road and defeated 10,000 cavalrymen of Hao thieves."

"Awesome." Blind felt half-believing and half-doubting.

"And with General Wang Ji and General Wang Kai led five or six thousand soldiers to escort grain, defeated the Hao bandits and thirty thousand cavalry, killing nearly 10,000 people."

Blind felt open your mouth wide.

"He led more than 3,000 infantry soldiers to the second battle with Zhang Kang's army in Tumaochuan, defeating more than 30,000 cavalry of Hao thieves and killing thousands of people. In this battle, the Hao thieves personally led their troops to fight."

Even the teenage Mu Zheng opened his mouth wide and could not make a sound.

"This is General Wang Ji. Linzhou was surrounded. He rushed out of the 100,000 Hao thieves' army camp and asked for help from Taiyuan. When he was in a great victory with General Zhang, General Wang, Tumaochuan, he was the first to break out and defeat the Hao thief Iron Harrier. This is the mansion that records their military achievements. Take a look."

The blind man took the newspaper without believing it, looked at it and said, "I have met General Zhang and General Wang. The two generals are gods."

The newspaper may be exaggerated, and at least most of them are true. But this record is too incredible.

"You also know that I have a northern foreign troops in my hand. Although there are not many, they are all fierce soldiers."

"I know," said the blind me nodded, as he was close to him, and he still heard of this team of Jurchen horses.

"Zhang Zhijun and General Wang led this team. I will draw two thousand of the strongest foreign soldiers to sneak into Kangu Valley with you and lurk in Kangu Valley. You have to do one thing, so that the Hao thieves can't know that they have entered your territory."

"Don't worry," said Jade Femur's overjoyed.

These two fierce men can defeat the 30,000 troops with escorts of five or six thousand soldiers. They have more than two thousand strongest soldiers in their hands and their own army cooperates. What is the 10,000 troops of Yishijilu?

"The scouts of Xixia are very powerful." Zheng Lang reminded again.

He was worried about the blind felt. This man was a grass, and the wind blew on both sides. Once the Xixia people knew where their army was going, Yuan Hao used a counter-espionage plan and attacked inside. Zhang Ke and Wang Ji would be in danger. He also said: "I may also mobilize 10,000 Qiang soldiers and foreign soldiers to support you at any time."

"Thank you," Xiao Wen knelt down again, this time I was really moved.
