After looking at the expression of the little emperor, Zheng Lang felt a little reluctant.

No matter what, this little emperor is good to the ministers and the people. If he doesn't do it well, if he attacks Yuan Hao again, if the ministers do not give advice and Yuan Hao surrenders, he can still let Yuan Hao go. He quickly shifts the topic and goes to the following text.

The following is a very short story. The Emperor of Zhou sent his envoy, Zaizui, to come to the funeral of Duke Hui of Lu and Duke Hui of Lu. But the Emperor of Zhou made a mistake. Duke Hui of Lu was a very capable prince in the Spring and Autumn Period. The State of Lu was not too far from the King of Zhou and had always maintained a close relationship with the Zhou royal family. However, Duke Hui of Lu died very early. The envoy of the Emperor of Zhou came too late and was inappropriate, and it was not in line with the funeral. Another misunderstanding was even greater. When Duke Hui of Lu was alive, he established the crown prince Ji Yun, but when Duke Hui died, Ji Yun was still very young, so Shu's eldest son took the regent first. The Spring and Autumn Period of Zuo started to write a record. The Emperor of Zhou might have misunderstood that Ji Yun was dead, otherwise how could Yin Duke inherit the throne?

In fact, this is the meaning of the minister of Lu. According to the Zhou rituals, the legitimate position did not establish a concubine, and the eldest did not establish a virtuous position. The state affairs were temporarily handed over to Yin Duke. When Ji Yun grew up, Yin Duke returned to power. Later, Yin Duke was reluctant to leave, resulting in his death. After Ji Yun took power, his fate was even worse. He married Duke Xiang of Qi. Duke Xiang of Qi had his sister. Before his sister got married, they had been engaged in adultery. Duke Huan of Lu brought his wife back to Qi to visit relatives. The two were doing good deeds, but they were arrested by Duke Huan of Lu. Duke Xiang wanted to cover up the embarrassment, so he sent Peng Sheng to strangle Duke Huan of Lu to death in a carriage. Ji Yun was Zhongzi.

This is what happened later.

Zheng Lang is talking about the mourning now.

The Zhou royal family began to decline at this time. As the State of Lu, which was loyal to the Zhou royal family, the Zhou royal family had such a big mistake, which shows how much concern he cared for the princes.

Therefore, Zheng Lang talked about an important issue.

spouse.

According to Confucianism, if you want to take it, you must give it.

Giving may not necessarily lead to gains, giving love will not lead to love, and hard work may not necessarily lead to rewards. But if you want to get it, you must give. Only by giving can you get hope. Otherwise, gold bricks will fall from the sky, and there will be fewer, if you expect this, don’t engage in farming and production.

As a king, if you want the support of the ministers, the king himself must first care about the ministers. If a main household wants the client and the party to be loyal, he cannot abuse the party and the client too much. An elder in a family wants his family to obey his command and must contribute to the family. But this love is not favoritism or spoiling. It is fair and etiquette.

Just such a short story, which was recorded in just a few dozen words in the Spring and Autumn Period, led to so many topics and principles, even involving being a man, governing the country, being the king, and being the master. Then, to destroying relatives for justice in Shizhu.

Talk about the meaning of the subtle words, talk about the past and later history, and talk about the inspiration of the Spring and Autumn Period.

This is far beyond the general explanation.

In the end, even Liao Xingzong himself was fascinated and fell into it. Yin Gong had a long passage, and after Zheng Lang finished speaking, it became darker.

Zheng Lang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, everyone, let's stop here today."

An old man brought a cup of hot tea from outside, respectfully held the disciple's gift and presented it to Zheng Lang.

Liao Xingzong and the ministers both turned their heads to look at Liu Liufu. Liu Liufu had already turned his head away and could not see it. It was his uncle. Liao Xingzong laughed and waved to Zheng Lang.

Zheng Lang came over.

Liao Xingzong said: "You said it very well. I will accompany me to Yanfangdian to hunt tomorrow.

"Here." Zheng Lang did not refuse either.

The Khitans had a habit of fishing fish at the bottom of the ice in the first month, that is, fishing with ice. In February and March, the green geese in the sea east are not small geese. But the wild geese swans. In the Song Dynasty, the swan meat was very expensive, but it was the Khitan. It tasted good and extremely delicious. Zheng Lang ate it more after coming to the Khitan. However, in April and May, the elk was hit by the meat in the elk, and the meat was a bit thick, not the legendary delicious. In June and July, the summer was sunken in the cold, and the tiger and leopard were hit by the ** month, and the door was closed in winter to avoid the severe cold.

But the Khitans were also evolving, and fewer tribes made a living by fishing and hunting were becoming less and less. Only some tribes like the Shiwei people in the north continued to retain this backward living habit. Many areas in the south began to plant mulberry and hemp. They were eventually backward, with low yields, and not very attractive.

Most of the Khitan emperors had Nabo in all seasons, spring was in Changchunzhou, summer was in Heishan, autumn was in Fuhu Forest, and winter was in Guangpingdian. This was also maintaining the tradition of our ancestors. However, the people in Youzhou did not have as large scope of activities as he did, but they also had their way of maintaining them. For example, in Yanfangdian, geese hunting in spring.

Sometimes it is cold in winter or something happens, the Khitan king is in Youzhou and will lead the royal family and ministers to Yanfangdian to hunt geese.

But this time... everyone has their own thoughts.

Seeing that Zheng Lang was easy to talk, Liao Xingzong said again: "Zheng Qing, please follow me to the palace. I will prepare a banquet for you in the palace."

"Thanks."

Going to the imperial city of Youzhou, Liao Xingzong said again: "Your knowledge really makes me amazed."

"Your Majesty, you have been awarded too much."

"I have read some historical books of your Han family. Emperor Taizong of Tang said that he could seize the world immediately, but could not rule the world immediately. Therefore, after establishing the country, he turned to internal governance. He was also known as Emperor Wen. When I read this period, I often yearned for it leisurely."

Zheng Lang didn't know what he was selling in the gourd, so he listened silently.

Just like he just explained Confucianism, it is the authentic Confucianism of the Tang Dynasty. In his words, it is the Confucianism of the Mo family. What kind of benevolence and love, he has objected to this cowardly Confucianism. As for his own Confucianism and self-hypnosis, I am the authentic Confucianism. In fact, it is more radical than Confucius' Confucianism, and it is mixed with a lot of Taoism, famous masters, mixed masters, Yin-Yang masters, paranormalists, especially Legalists. But just in terms of governing the country, this Confucianism is more practical. Zheng Lang also wants this.

He would not say this radical Confucianism, but rather the Confucianism in the eyes of the Tang people.

But because of his perverted brain, good memory, extensive quotations, and the backward Confucianism of the Khitan, his words were lively and lively, so listeners were like mountains. Every time he got a record, some Confucian scholars regarded it as treasures.

Not only Confucian scholars, but also met the appetite of the Khitan emperor.

From this point of view, he did not have any kindness. But he could not expect the little Khitan emperor to have any kindness to him.

Everyone, the Eight Immortals cross the sea, and each one shows their magical powers.

Already started fighting...

Liao Xingzong said again: "Our dynasty will hold a scientific expedition this year, and I want to ask you to preside over the presidency."

The Khitan also had imperial examinations, which were different from the imperial examinations of the Song Dynasty. First, the targets were limited to Han people and Bohai people. The Khitan people, medical and divination, slaughtering, slaves and unfilial people were strictly prohibited from taking the imperial examinations. It was not to be arrogant to the Han people, nor to be despised to the Han people. The reason why the Khitan people did not allow the Khitan people to enter was that they hoped that the Khitan children would still maintain the tradition of martial arts and less civil affairs, so as not to become cowardly. However, in order for the Han people to surrender, they would raise the status of the Han people and raise the value of the imperial examinations, so some people who "superbate" were not allowed to enter the examination room.

The two examinees had different status. When the Khitan was established, there was no imperial examination. Emperor Taizong of Liao entered Kaifeng City and felt that the Han ministers were decent and responded appropriately, and they admired them very much. If the Khitans came, they would kill and chop them at any time, and they would not be able to explain them. They would come without slandering. So they set a precedent for imperial examinations. The form was very grand, and there were few people admitted. The first one was mostly used as Hanlin, and the rest of them were only appointed as the secretary of the emperor.

If it were in the Song Dynasty, this would mean success. The Khitan was still a country that valued martial arts. This position was not attractive. There were very few Jinshis who could achieve success. Therefore, some big families were unwilling to go out, so the Khitan sent someone to force him. It would be impossible not to take the exam, but he had to take the exam.

During the reign of Emperor Shengzong of Liao, there were few candidates for admission. By the time of Emperor Xingzong of Liao, they were gradually influenced by the Song Dynasty. After taking the test every three or four years, there were many candidates, and dozens of people were recruited each time. But at this time, the Khitan had deepened the sinicization, and many Han people were in charge of the Khitan. They had very real power.

The third is that time is different.

Zheng Lang bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, no, unless the provincial examination is in the country, the provincial examination is in June, and I will return to the Song Dynasty. Besides, I am a minister of the Song Dynasty, how can I preside over the Northern Dynasties' imperial examination?"

Liao Xingzong smiled proudly and said, "Since he came, he would be at ease."

Zheng Xingzhi, please stay well, want to go back? No way!

But if you want to use Zheng Lang, you can't force Zheng Lang to hurry. Zheng Lang went in, so he retreated. Zheng Lang stepped in and then he stepped in and said, "Zheng Qing, it's okay. If you don't preside over the presidency, I can send other people to preside over the imperial examination. You can guide you from the side and then cooperate with the examiner to review the papers. This is also a friendly exchange between the two countries. I believe that if you delay some time, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty will not be angry."

"Your Majesty can only agree if you report to your Majesty."

"allow."

Liao Xingzong was very happy. As long as he fired the first step, would you still have an arrow to turn around? After saying that, he turned around and looked at each other with important officials such as Xiao Hui and Xiao Ci's slaves.

In the imperial city, Liao Xingzong was entertaining Zheng Lang and called Hui Jian, a high-ranking Khitan monk, to accompany him. Liao Xingzong liked Confucianism and Buddhism, so he appointed this monk as the Grand Marshal of the Procuratorate. Zheng Lang studied Buddhism and talked with Hui Jian.

The monk was very suspicious of him and asked: "Mr. Zheng, did you hear that you are in Hangzhou?"

"How dare I dispel Buddhists? I like them very much, but I don't like some illegal behaviors of Buddhist children. The monks in Tianmen Temple are very disappointed. I am in Hangzhou, and some monks use the people to blackmail their officials, so I have a meeting to distinguish Buddhas. What I distinguish is the true Buddha, not some fake Buddhas who act majestic."

"Zheng Qing, let's listen." Liao Xingzong became interested.

If you want to listen to Buddhism, it is best, but Zheng Lang carefully explained Buddhism to him. He was also very careful not to really bewitch Liao Xingzong to be a monk, so the Khitan ministers who were listening would tear him away. The main thing is to accumulate good deeds, cause and effect, and use Confucian benevolence as the basis for arguments. Didn’t Liao Xingzong say that he could not rule the world immediately? This caused a topic. At the beginning of the founding of the country, he had to use force, but although it was difficult to establish a country, it was even more difficult to maintain his career. To maintain his career, he had to love his ministers and treat his ministers well. Only then could the ministers be willing to serve the king, treat the people well, and be loyal to the country. There is definitely no problem saying this, and it is mixed with various Confucian scriptures and Buddhist scriptures, which is very vague.

Except for a few generals who were powerful and had poor literature, all the ministers listened with relish.

Emperor Liaozong was stunned when he heard this again, and even Huijian nodded constantly.

As long as you don’t have the Buddha’s orders, you can say that Buddhism is good and that it is so interesting, why don’t you agree?

After saying that, Liao Xingzong was even more happy and held Zheng Lang's hand and said, "I wish I could see you soon."

It's too much for his appetite.

The banquet was very happy and it took a long time to part.

When he returned to the inn, Guo Kui said, "The Khitan Emperor asked you to preside over the imperial examinations, but he was not good at it."

"It is inevitable that everyone has their own goals."

"I'm worried that the court will hear the news." Guo Kui did not reject Zheng Lang's actions. Zheng Lang had Zheng Lang's plan and the Khitan had Khitan's plan. This would be better, so that it would not be possible to directly question and immediately turn the eyes into enemies. If Zheng Lang repeatedly said he would disagree, and the Khitan was angry and angry, Zheng Lang and his fate were not Su Wu. Don't think about it. Even if he could endure that hardship, the Khitan would not give you a chance. He would kill him, not exile.

What he was worried about was that there was a Jia Changchao in the Song Dynasty who was the prime minister, and Zheng Lang had a disagreement with him. If there was a problem, it would be very troublesome.

Zheng Lang said: "I will write to Your Majesty."

I wrote two letters, one of which was the conversation with Liao Xingzong just now, and I disagree. Your Majesty, what should I do? I also said that I am happy with you, please tell me that I will report to my family and be sure to keep abreast of my heart. I used three of them here, all of which were deliberately delaying the last stroke.

Then I wrote a secret letter, which said that the Khitan was afraid of being ill of his ministers and wanted to keep him, so he asked to send an envoy to negotiate. However, the secret letter did not make any marks.

He called Zhang Hai and talked to him all the way. This person was very clever, otherwise there would have been only a few more than twenty people at the beginning. In the end, the Song Dynasty's West Road was upside down. But after entering the army, he heard that the Song Dynasty's various achievements in the northwest, and Di Qing went south to quickly wipe out the Southern Barbarians, which made him feel sad. How could he not be afraid?

This thought is very grateful to Zheng Lang.

And it was not bad. Zheng Lang had a high prestige in the army. Seeing Zhang Hai's bravery, he promoted him to a small head and became a small officer in the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.

It's a good candidate.

Zheng Lang said to him: "When you go back, the Khitan will search you with reasons. You must find every means to find this secret letter to them, but you cannot make them suspicious."

This secret letter was not written for Zhao Zhi, but for Liao Xingzong. It was written for Zhao Zhen.

He also said, "If the emperor meets you, see who is on the side. If there is a minister next to you, you will say whatever you see. Don't say it deeper. There is no minister next to you, only eunuchs and palace maids. If you ask, just say what I said, please do not spread your words. Then say that I am here, please don't worry. But I am worried about the country and people in the court will be falsely accusing me, so the situation in Khitan will be very dangerous."

"Here."

"Go to my house again, because the letters may be searched, so I won't write them. You tell them that everything is fine in Khitan, please rest assured."

"Here."

It's not that simple, and it's impossible for the Khitan to let Zhang Hai go back easily. It can only be seen with Zhang Hai's performance.

The next day, Liao Xingzong brought nearly a thousand people to Yanfangdian, 90 miles southeast of Youzhou City.

At this time, not only were there many lakes in Youzhou, but there were also many lakes in Hebei, which were not deep, but many. In the Song Dynasty, cold-resistant rice seeds were cultivated in Hebei, but the yield was very low. Yanfangdian was one of the largest lakes, with a radius of hundreds of miles.

Looking around, there are many green wild rice rice and reeds. The reed leaves have not yet fully launched. They are mixed with the yellow leaves of last winter, half green and half yellow, very cute. There are some cold-resistant water chestnuts on the lake, and only a small bit of broken leaves are released. (Be sure to doubt, there are indeed water chestnuts, but I am actually doubting it too)

There are abundant plants and trees, and many migratory birds come here to live, and there are swans that the Khitans like to hunt.

When the king came in person, he also had to prepare some etiquette. Many guards wore dark green clothes, took out hammers, eagle food and sea east green, and listed them on the lakeside.

Zheng Lang had never seen it in the Song Dynasty. In addition to fighting wits and tricks, he was also preparing to rest and recuperate and watched intently. Suddenly, a beautiful woman came over with a more beautiful little loli.
