Four hundred and sixty-one chapters big plan (3)
Zheng Lang led Han Yuanjun to the military camp and rode his horse back home.
Cui Xian said something: "The aunt is sick again."
The weather was dry and hot. The old man heard that many people could not eat due to drought, so he ran to the capital to visit his two granddaughters, and then went to Xiangguo Temple to incense. The descendants of his return to Zhengzhou fell down.
Zheng Lang was stunned and didn't know what to do.
These two or three months are the most critical time. Whether your plan can be implemented will be within these two or three months. If it is implemented, it doesn’t matter if it goes home and rest and allows the two parties to argue, because as long as this plan is implemented, the entire Song Dynasty’s finances and military will move towards a healthy other side. It will not work immediately. In five or ten years, the effect will be seen.
He murmured, "It will be a few months later, it will be cold, I will go back to Zhengzhou."
"Go to Zhengzhou?"
"To be a minister, you must understand the way to advance and retreat, otherwise the greater the credit, the worse the outcome." Zheng Lang said lightly and went to the East Prefecture to hand over. As soon as he entered the Secretariat, he was summoned into the inner palace by Xiaohuangmen.
Zhao Zhen said happily: "Zheng Qing, how can you be so fast?"
Because he was a cavalry, his speed was very fast. It took only twenty-one days to go back and forth, and he waited for a few days in Tianchang, otherwise it would be faster. Zheng Lang said: "Your Majesty, it's normal. Wang Lun was originally a bandit, and there is a reason why he could not be wiped out."
“What’s the reason?”
"The specific ministers are still not allowed to say now. Your Majesty, can you ask the three yamen and the officials of Kaifeng Prefecture to cooperate with the investigation?"
The military system of the Song Dynasty, the Privy Council was in charge of military records, the Tiger Talisman, and the three yamen were in charge of the various armies. The generals of all the lines were responsible for the military, and they stripped the army into three to prevent the military generals from dominating the dominance of military generals. The Privy Council of the Song Dynasty was equivalent to the Taiwei of Qin and Han dynasties, but the Taiwei of Qin and Han dynasties mostly used military generals, while the Privy Council almost used literati. The Song Dynasty also had the Ministry of War, but the Ministry of War could not use normal rights. It was not the Ministry of War, but other departments were all. The one who used the power was dispatched officials, and the Ministry of War was in name only.
. The military officers were selected as the Ministry of Personnel, and the power to send troops was the Privy Council. The full name of the Three Yaya is the commander-in-chief of the Palace Front, the commander-in-chief of the Guards’ personal army, the commander-in-chief of the Guards’ personal army, and the commander-in-chief of the Guards’ personal army. Originally, the three Yaya had a lot of military power, but because they supported Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, the three Yayas made great contributions, so the Song Dynasty's rights to the Three Yas were repeatedly reduced, and the two Yases combined twelve members (from the time of Emperor Zhenzong) were reduced to nine members, and the world was divided into soldiers. However, they did not have the right to send troops.
After a series of dazzling improvements, no minister has ever held true military power, which has reduced the possibility of military generals usurping the country to zero. However, it has caused a bad consequence. Usually, no matter whether it is the Privy Council, the Third Organs or the Ministry of War, they dare not really ask about the army to avoid being impeached.
The army became a scattered area, so the fastest one started with the army. Later, the Tokyo Defense War was known as the 800,000 imperial guards, and there were 300,000 imperial guards in the capital, and only 300,000 imperial guards who actually participated in the war. There were no other people at all, and they were given empty wages by various generals. However, because of this kind of division, no one noticed it.
To be a simple metaphor, a sewer pipe cover is secretly taken by a thief. The common people call each leader and say that it is not the scope of my control. In fact, it can be controlled or ignored. So the phone cannot be reached until something happens, or someone falls in and gets injured. Otherwise, it will be a black hole wherever it is placed. This is also a manifestation of decentralization and redundant politics.
It turned out that Zheng Lang had made some preparations and wanted to obtain specific evidence. As the prime minister of the East Prefecture, he had no right to directly interrogate. He had to ask for a letter of decree to cooperate with the Three Yas and Kaifeng Prefecture. Only in this way can he truly investigate and obtain the most direct and powerful evidence to convince Zhao Zhen and his ministers.
Zhao Zhen did not ask anxiously, thought for a while, and said, "Accurate."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Zheng Qing, Xixia has sent envoys to the capital, but the ministers have many opinions and cannot agree and argue..."
"Your Majesty, I have heard of it, but I have just returned to the capital and I don't know many things. Can I ask me to ask you for some questions? I will propose to Your Majesty tomorrow."
"Absolutely, I want to thank Zheng Qing. I didn't send six million chunks of grain to raise food in advance. The drought continued and the north was in danger." Zhao Zhen said. Xu Yuan's first batch of grain had been transported to the capital. The price of grain in the capital dropped sharply, so Sui'an was in peace. Not only the capital, but also other places, Shandong, Shaanxi, and Henan, there were severe droughts. However, due to the preparation of six million chunks, a large amount of grain was purchased and transported to various places one after another, and the monarch and ministers began to feel at ease. Therefore, Zhao Zhen thanked Zheng Lang very much.
"Eating the king's fortune and being loyal to the king is the duty of the minister. Your Majesty, don't worry. It may be very difficult after the autumn this year, and the situation will get better next year. Once the warehouses are established, the drought will be relieved. There are many warehouses in the north and there are three Baiqus in Shaanxi, so the world can be safe."
After leaving the palace, I arrived at the Secretariat.
The Secretariat was also shocked, the speed was too fast.
The handover was completed and the official business was handled. It was not until the settlement was settled that I asked about the situation of peace talks. As expected, there were many statements, but it was generally divided into two statements. One is that the country was so ill, and harmony was the best. Some people did not know the general and just tangled in the details, resulting in the peace talks being impossible. If another war broke out in the northwest, the country would be in danger. This statement occupied the mainstream. Another statement was that it was possible to take risks, but it was not so humiliating to be harmonious and lose the face of the country.
Zheng Lang only heard it and did not express any comments.
In fact, at this time, he took a step bigger and could gather a group of officials around him, but he didn't like to form a clique and didn't even want to make friends, so he was still an alternative existence in the court.
The next day, Zheng Lang came to the capital.
Zhao Zhen and the prime ministers arrived one after another. Zhao Zhen looked at Zheng Lang and said, "Zheng Qing, Xixia is coming to envoy for almost ten days. What do you think about Zheng Qing?"
This is not a solution.
Zheng Lang said: "Your Majesty first sends the envoys of Western Xia Luniru Dingyushe, Liaoli Wangyuhuan, Zhang Yanshou, Yang Shousu, and our dynasty's envoys to Western Xia Shao Liangzuo."
"Absolutely, all the ministers, go to Zichen Palace."
We cannot meet foreign envoys in the capital, so everyone has to move a nest. This is also the etiquette system. Although it is complicated, it is this complicated etiquette system that has become a core and a great righteousness of feudal rule.
When they turned to Zichen Hall, everyone sat down again. After a while, four Western Xia envoys and Shao Liangzuo were taken to Zichen Hall.
Zheng Lang looked at Yang Shousu and said, "Yang Shousu, I didn't expect you and I to meet again."
When Yang Shousu saw Zheng Lang, his head hurts and bows to his heart's content, and says politely: "I have met Mr. Zheng."
"I don't object to you on behalf of Xixia. I just didn't understand three things, so I'll ask on behalf of His Majesty."
"Those three things may I ask."
"At the beginning of your rebellion in Xixia, you called your king of the country Wuzu." The pronunciation is very similar. Zheng Lang had to write down these words while saying it, "My monarch and ministers were ashamed of it, and changed it to my pearl. My soldiers, Wuzu, etc., Dingchuan Village, you Xixia people returned home with great defeat. I almost led my troops to almost attack your Lingzhou city. I was afraid that our dynasty would send troops again. You Xixia took the initiative to change this Wuzu into Wuzu. However, our Majesty was concerned about the people who won the victory. He sincerely sent an envoy to discuss peace with you Xixia. So you Xixia thought that our lord was weak and could be bullied, and changed it to my ancestor. It doesn't matter, but how to write this national letter in the future? Could it be that my lord wrote the letter of Yuanhao, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to the Western Xia?"
Han Qi lowered his head and snickered.
What did that become? Yuan Hao was the son of Zhao Zhen in name, but actually became Zhao Zhen's grandfather.
Zheng Lang said again: "You are a Han Chinese, and you should know the Han system. The king is the father. The subject is the son. You Yuanhao has become the ancestor of my lord. Then our entire Song Dynasty Yizhao people. Isn't there an extra grandfather from scratch, including me and my husband? It turns out that I fought bloody battles in the northwest. It turns out that the above was the one who was the one who fought with the grandfather for nearly two years."
Yan Shu said: "This is a transliteration, and you can change it by Yuan Hao."
"Mr. Yan, I am also preparing to say that jade craftsmanship is needed to make furniture, carpenters are needed to build walls, and bricks are needed to build walls. When I was a teenager, I used bamboo tubes as pen holders to be elegant and considerable, but I dare not use jade, because bamboo tubes are cheap and it is okay to carve badly. If jade is used, it will be a big loss. This is the case with jade, and even the country. Although I am not talented, I dare to ask Mr. Yan, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Jia, Mr. Du, Mr. Wang, Mr. Ren, Mr. Ren, and I march and fight wits and courage with Yuan Hao. Can you please me?"
Zheng Lang really wanted to scold him for being a corpse and a vain meal.
Hold on.
If you want to do things, you can’t make a noise. If you quarrel, you can’t make a difference, but you can’t do anything.
No one dares to answer.
"Let's talk about the economy, so that the country can increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Can you please reach me?"
No one can answer again.
"The reason why the country negotiates peace is that it is military and finance. Before I finish asking, Mr. Yan should not stop me, okay?"
You don't know anything, please don't interfere, okay?
Yan Shu was about to speak, but Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said, "Yan Qing, let Zheng Qing finish asking."
But Yan Shu's words inspired Yang Shousu and said cleverly: "Zheng Gong, this is a transliteration, just make a little modification."
"What to change to? Please read it." Zheng Lang picked up the paper and said. No matter how he read it, he was still my ancestor.
"I have been in the northwest for a long time, and I will also have some Dangxiang words. You call the Khitan the title of the Khitan honestly. But it is not the transliteration of my Song Dynasty. But my ancestor is the transliteration, but not the lord in the Dangxiang words, but the Qing emperor. Your lord is the emperor, and your majesty is the emperor, so how can you come to the sincerity? Besides, you Xixia people Chongbai, even if you call the emperor, they are also the lord of the Heavenly Heaven, where does the Qing emperor come from? Chongqing is the color that the few Tatars in the North Pole like, what does it have to do with you Dangxiang people? Relationship? But by chance, I arrested Wu Hao and got some news from him. The reason why I chose the title of Wu Zu was to disgust our Majesty, and the other was to ridicule our Majesty, as well as Emperor Taizong, Emperor Zhenzong, and Emperor Taizong, and he wanted to be the Emperor Taizu of our dynasty, sweep the eight deserts, unify the **, and dominate the Central Plains. In the past, it didn't matter if you Yuan Hao wanted to destroy the Khitan, but since you are peace talks, why should you still keep this title? Not only Wu Zu, Wu Zu, but also Wu Zu, he also became my ancestor."
Zheng Lang rarely talks nonsense. Anyway, Wu Hao is dead, and there is no evidence of death.
Yan Shu's old face finally couldn't hold back. If this matter spreads, he could imagine Yan Chen's impeachment and asked again: "Why didn't you write a memorial?"
"The title is a trivial matter. It was tragic after the war. Not only the soldiers, but nearly 20,000 people in our dynasty were killed by Yuan Hao. Do you think I am appeaseing the people or are you going to entangle about this title? Yan Xianggong, the people are the foundation of the country."
Yan Shu really wanted to say, since he knew that people were the first, why did he turn this out? Everyone pretended to be deaf and dumb, wandered around, and had peace and contention, and there was no threat of war, and began to govern internally. Isn’t it a serious matter?
But after revealing it, you can no longer get away with it.
"That was Wu Hao's slander." Yang Shousu said.
"Even if it is falsely accused, is my ancestor the meaning of the king of the country or the emperor of the Qing emperor in your party? This is the first thing, and the second thing is that I was lucky enough to get a message from some people. Just when you sent my mission to our court, your king sent an envoy to the Khitan and asked the Khitan to go out to attack the Song Dynasty. Is this the peace you Xixia people want?"
"Is this actually happening?" Zhao Zhen stood up angrily from the dragon throne.
"Yes, I will present the evidence to Your Majesty for a while." Zheng Lang said, looking at several envoys, but this time he turned to Shao Liangzuo and asked: "Shao Liangzuo, when He Congxi came to the envoy, he said that Xixia would definitely let the envoys sit above the prime ministers of the foreign countries. When Wuzhu met the envoy, he asked the saints for blessings. Do you, Shao Liangzuo, Zhang Shiyuan, and Wang Zheng, also sent Xixia to him, have you received this treatment?"
Shao Liangzuo lowered his head in shame and replied, "Shame, I am only exempt from humiliation when I am on a mission to Xixia. Even there are fierce soldiers guarding the post station. We cannot let us go out at a single step. How dare we sit above the prime ministers of Xixia?"
I can't expect Yuan Hao to get up and bow to the sage.
Zheng Lang then looked at several Western Xia envoys and asked, "I'm asking these three things, please answer them."
