Zhao Niannu clapped and laughed, actually hiding the shyness in his heart.

Zheng Lang finally stood up and said seriously: "Your Highness Princess, do you know what you are doing?"

If it is spread, I will let you kill it.

Zhao Niannu stumbled and said, "Mr. Zheng, I'll ask you to do something for me."

"Can't you tell me about your business?" Zheng Lang said. If he hadn't been to the Song Dynasty for a long time and had read Confucian books for decades, he could have copied this pretty little girl up and beat her ass.

Zhao Niannu smiled like a flower, and now his mind was already open. At least, he knew that he would not be able to do anything to himself, even if he saw this big face, the prime minister was so anxious that he would not be able to do anything to him. She stood on tiptoe, and Zheng Lang quickly took a few steps back and said, "If you have something to say, don't come over."

"Mr. Zheng, I don't want to marry Li Wei, the entourage officer of Dongtou."

"What? Say it again," Zheng Lang asked in surprise. Women in the Song Dynasty got married early, but it depends on the situation. The minimum is generally not less than fifteen years old. Some women don't get married until they are twenty years old, so how old this little guy is.

"My father issued an order in the palace yesterday, asking that Li Wei be the commander of the Left Guard General and elected me."

That is, engagement, not marriage.

But why did it be ordered so early? Zheng Lang walked around and he was quite clear about this history. It had nothing to do with history, but a picture, Cui Bai's double happy picture.

Concubine Li Chen was selected into the palace. His parents died, and Li Yonghe also went to the capital. At that time, Li Yonghe was not old and had no other skills, so he had to make a living by digging paper money in the capital. It is said that digging paper money is a good saying, but it is actually selling ghost money burned to the dead. The Tang Dynasty used Tang Sancai to be buried with him. It was not until the Song Dynasty that it began to burn paper money, but it was not a piece of yellow straw paper, but was made into some patterns with a knife. This was the only way to burn it to the dead. Li Yonghe and the young man did this job.

Liu E's first husband, Liu Mei, sent someone to find Li Yonghe, so the most tender scene in the history of the Song Dynasty appeared. Liu Mei did not frame Li Yonghe, but visited Li Chenfei's family. Seeing that he was so embarrassed, she suggested to Liu E that Li Yonghe should not be allowed to fall to this point. At least his sister gave birth to the emperor. Liu E obeyed and was appointed as a third rank. Li Yonghe's life changed. At that time, he didn't know that he was the national uncle, and he grew up, so he had a city wife. Then he had sons Li Zhang and Li Wei.

This is why Zheng Lang attacked the Eight Wise Kings.

Although Liu E did not do a good job, for the mysterious royal family, Liu E was very polite. If Li Yong and his death were allowed to die at that time, Liu E would give Zhao Zhen a thousand reasons in the future without any doubt.

Not only Liu E, but also Zheng Lang had at least a hundred ways to make Li Yonghe die very "normal".

Zhao Zhen knew his family background, and in order to make up for the guilt of his biological mother, he repeatedly promoted Li Yong to his official position. Li Yonghe was also successful and did not disappoint him. But Zhao Zhen was still very guilty, so he married his eldest daughter to Li Yonghe's second son Li Wei.

It was a bit late for Zhao Niannu to get married until he was twenty years old. Zhao Zhen liked it very much. First, he was enthroned as the Princess of Yan Kingdom. The scale of the enthronement ceremony was no less than that of the Queen's Etiquette. The grand wedding was held after the enthronement. However, Princess Fukang's life was very unhappy after the marriage. The specific reason was that there were many people saying that Li Yonghe was a low-class family and was a nouveau riche, so the princess was dissatisfied. This statement was untrue. When Li Wei was born, the situation of the Li family was getting better. A few years later, Zhao Zhen had already recognized Li Yonghe, and Li Yonghe became the uncle, and became even more popular. That is, when Li Wei grew up, the family had become a powerful family. His brother can also prove that Han Qi was so arrogant, but working with Li Zhang was like a spring breeze and praised him more.

Some people say it is seniority, which may be due to some factors. Li Wei is Renzong's cousin and the princess's cousin. She is a little more messy.

Some people say it is age, and it is wrong to say that Li Wei is dozens of years older than Zhao Niannu. The reason why Zhao Zhen is engaged now is about Li Wei's age when he was in the crown, and he is only ten years older than Zhao Niannu. It is not much older. It is not too difficult for couples to communicate.

Some people say that Li Wei is vulgar by nature, but he is very hypocritical. He likes to be arty and elegant, practices flying white body, and likes to spend a lot of money to buy calligraphy and paintings. However, historical books record that this person is good at making ink, bamboo and stone. He writes in daily life, but abandons it when he is in the air, and does not want anyone to know about it. There are very few works he passed down. However, several pictures are passed down, "Ink, Reeds, Lake, Stone, and Bamboo Forest" are not top-notch, and are definitely not bad, and have collection value. Therefore, Zheng Lang is quite skeptical about this statement.

Another saying is Li Wei's mother, Zhao Niannu and the eunuch Liang Huaiji. At this time, Zheng Lang thought of the eunuch with a pretty face outside the building. He was afraid that Liang Huaiji was this Liang Huaiji. The personal eunuch beside the princess, and drinking a glass of wine was nothing. Li Wei's mother happened to see that she was born in a foolish woman, and she ignored her identity and secretly monitored her. The princess was displeased when she saw her sneaky behavior. She said a few words, Li's mother was unconscious and accused the princess. The princess was not a match for a woman in the city. After scolding her, she detained the door late at night and asked Zhao Zhen to divorce Li Wei.

It was originally something in the family, but it spread that the ministers led by Sima Guang wrote letters one after another, and Sima Guang himself sent two letters, demanding that the princess be severely punished by the family law of his ancestors be punished. Under pressure, Zhao Zhen seized the title of princess, Li Wei was appointed as the governor of Weizhou, Li Wei's mother was supported by Li Wei's elder brother Li Zhang, and Liang Huaiji was sent to Xijing to sweep the imperial tomb. Due to this blow, the princess had a mental breakdown and wanted to commit suicide several times and burned the palace once. Zhao Zhen was a little regretful at this time, and recalled Liang Huaiji, but the princess was not fully recovered.

Most people in the palace like the little princess' cleverness, filial piety and politeness, and were angry with Li Wei's family. Some palace people even told Concubine Miao that they would kill Li Wei with secret orders to vent their anger on the princess. However, because Zhao Zhen was worried about his uncle's family, the matter was abandoned. The palace painter Cui Bai knew the truth, but he did not dare to say it, so he wrote "Double Joy Picture" to express his sympathy for the princess and Liang Huaiji, and also used brush and ink to describe the hare in the picture, mocking the panic of the enemy Li Wei.

In the end, Zhao Zhen agreed to their divorce, but the little princess was not good at madness, and Li Wei was also very miserable. Her lover, Concubine Zhang, died, and her favorite daughter became this level. Zhao Zhen's health became worse and worse day by day under this double blow, and finally died of illness.

Zheng Lang treats this little princess as a junior at most. There is no relationship. Now he has a little bit, after all, he has become a guardian knight, but he is still a junior. It is mainly Zhao Zhen. He wants to stop the Zhimen marriage because of Zhao Zhen.

It was originally a happy event for a family to marry, but the result was so. Why bother!

But I didn't expect the engagement to be so early.

I was negligent and talked nonsense in my previous life, saying that Li Wei was ugly, so I was very old and had no wife yet. I was nonsense. With Li Wei's family background, not to mention that Li Wei was ugly, even if he was like Zhu Bajie, he could marry a woman who looked like a fairy.

The reason why I got married late was to wait for the little princess to become an adult. Li Wei only got the crown this year and did not make a marriage, Li Wei would marry another woman.

Zheng Langhan had known this, and when he returned to Beijing, he would rather let other matters gossip about him. He would rather tell him some gossip. He asked Cui Xian to come forward and let Li Wei make a marriage first and let Cui Xian be the matchmaker. Li Wei has a master, so how could this engagement come about?

It's too late to regret, but it's okay. There are ten years of operation time. The difficulty lies in Li Yonghe's identity. When he was a teenager, he didn't become an official and no matter how he dated him. He became an official and became bigger and bigger, and the happiness of thousands of families often lies in the stroke of his pen. But the more taboos he avoided.

If you are the prime minister or the prime minister of the Western Prefecture, it is possible that no one in the Song Dynasty can match his future, so you must be more careful when doing things. If you interact with your uncle now, you will be drowned by the ministers.

Looking at Zhao Niannu, he bent down and asked, "He is your cousin. You marry him and you are kinship. Why don't you agree?"

"I don't like it," Zhao Niannu said, looking at Zheng Lang affectionately. Unfortunately, Zheng Lang turned his head and looked out the window without seeing her affectionate eyes. He was a relative of the foreigners, and Li Wei often entered the palace, and reported to Li Yonghe's personality and was submissive.

Zhao Niannu is lively by nature and very smart. There is only a normal man in the palace. Therefore, the standard of a man in her heart must be like her father, gentle, wise, elegant, talented, and vague authority.

There is gentleness and wisdom, and there is also a faint authority like Zhao Zhen. There are a few people in the world. Even Zhao Zongshi, the cousin who was taken to the palace to adopt since childhood, has a more dark and feminine appearance, and has less of the unique sunny temperament of Zhao Zhen.

Poor Li Wei asked Zhao Niannu to compare with Zhao Zhen. How big is the difference?

But there is one more person.

I didn't understand when I was a child, but gradually grew older. I saw Zheng Lang many times, a minister who was very related to his fate, and a minister who risked his life to serve on the Khitan for himself! Zheng Lang looked not very good, not as good as Zhao Zhen. But few people could match that temperament.

The little princess was moved, but she didn't know how to express it. The main reason was that she was too young. Her father made a marriage, and the little princess compared Zheng Lang with Li Wei. At least Zheng Lang was very calm every time she entered the palace. Even Zhao Zhen repeatedly claimed that she had the style of Wei and Jin Dynasties. Besides, the little princess. Li Wei's submissiveness was comparable to Zheng Lang's behavior, and the little princess was dizzy.

Then I had to find a reason to find a secret trust Liang Huaiji, so I could take me out of the palace and let me have a secret talk with Zheng Lang. Liang Huaiji was only less than 20 years old and was a little eunuch. He didn't know much, but his master asked him to bring the little princess out regardless of the consequences.

Zhao Niannu originally wanted to say: "I like you."

But I couldn't say it, so I had to say that I didn't like it, so why didn't I like it, but I didn't say it. I also said: "You said that I should protect my happiness for life."

Zheng Lang stared at her, you still depended on me! But without saying that, Zheng Lang also planned to stop this marriage. But how to stop it, could he tell Zhao Zhen that you can't marry your daughter to Li Yonghe's son? As long as you say it, even if Zhao Zhen trusts him, he will be furious.

After leaving, he came to Zhao Niannu and said to her, "You are Your Princess and I am a minister. If you meet like this, you should go back to the palace first. I will ask you. If the prince consort is good, you should follow your father's advice. If it is not good, I will protect your happiness. Go back to the palace quickly."

Push Zhao Niannu.

Then run out like a thief, avoiding fear of being seen by others.

When he returned home, he did not say to Cui Xian, but to Fan Yuer. The Fan family had a large social circle in the capital. Moreover, Fan Yuer came forward and would not attract many people's attention. He quietly called Fan Yuer aside and said, "Yue'er, Your Majesty has made a marriage for Princess Fukang, and is Li Wei, the second son of the uncle Li Yonghe."

"Your Majesty is so nice to the uncle's family."

"He is only an uncle, so he doesn't want his uncle's family to be wronged, which is also a kind of thought for the queen mother. But the little princess doesn't like this new prince-consort. She sneaks out of the palace and asks me for help."

"Official, this is a royal marriage. How do you interfere?"

"There is no way. In the past, I said to be her guardian knight. I wanted to protect her happiness. At that time, I didn't want her to marry a Khitan and was insulting the country's system. I didn't want her to remember my words, and I didn't agree. You can find a way to visit me. What is this person and what is his mother's morality?"

"Why do you want to visit her mother?"

"If you don't get married, you'll be a family once you get married. If your mother-in-law is not good, your daughter-in-law will be wronged."

"But the little princess is a princess."

Zheng Lang was speechless, yes, this is a princess. Why did this woman think of cursing the princess? She said, "It's hard to say. Guo Ziyi's son is drunk and beats the golden branch. Besides, the princess in my dynasty is far less expensive than the Tang Dynasty."

Fan Yuer doesn't believe it.

"Don't worry. Ask me by the way. I have a good idea. If it's good, I will persuade the princess for the emperor. If it's bad..." Zheng Lang shook his head. It's not that it's bad, it's definitely not good. The marriage has been made. How can the emperor regret it?

This is too difficult for Zheng Lang to curse.

"Good come."

"Don't let others know about this, otherwise the Yanchen will scold me to death."

"I know."

Zheng Lang tried his best to drink tea, but today was really not going well. First, Xia Shu had to take a knife, and then this happened again.

As for the little princess kiss, Zheng Lang didn't think about it at all and deliberately forgot it.

On a chaotic day, I came to the Privy Council the next day. The main business was important and I continued to handle government affairs. But not long after, the eunuch came in and called several big bosses from the Western Palace to the capital.

When I came to the capital, I sat down. In addition to the bosses of the Western Mansion, there were also several bosses of the Eastern Mansion. But I could tell at a glance that the atmosphere was not right. Chen Zhizhong, Song Xiang, Xia Sheng, and Wen Yanbo were all strangers, so it was better. Only Ding Du was better, but his qualifications were too shallow and it didn't work.

Zhao Zhen also had a headache. Chen Zhizhong did not make friends, so he was alone and asked him to value it. Xia Shu, Song Shu and Ding Du were his teachers. Either Wen Yanbo had little to do with him. But the problem was not Wen Yanbo, but Xia, Chen and Song Shu. Song Shu was Ye Qingchen's friend, so he hated Chen Zhizhong. However, he claimed to be a gentleman and could not get along with Xia Shu. Xia Shu and Chen Zhizhong had a long conflict. Now the East Mansion is very good, and he would never worry about a clique happening, but can he do things well in this way?

In addition to the big bosses of the East Mansion, there are also Zhang Fangping, the Sansi Department. Today, what he said was the process of several censors going down to investigate, and the Chinese warehouse was officially assigned to the Sansi Department for full supervision. But Zhao Zhen did not regret it because the investigation was shocking.

Several censors were deliberately selected by Zhao Zhen, all of whom were pure gentlemen who opposed Xia Shu. As long as you go down, Xia Shu would be the prime minister, and no one would be talking about it. Since he regarded himself as a pure gentleman, his character might not be very good, but he would not be very bad either.

And because of Xia Shu's affairs, he was all in a hurry. Unfortunately, before Zhao Zhen asked them to go down, he deliberately followed what Zheng Lang said, not to make private matters, not to involve, not shelter, and not to compare with friends. Although you were asked to be the inspectors of various ways, what could be used to drive was not the power of the inspectors in the past, but this time it was only targeted at two things. One was the issue of households in Baoding. This household had two methods of division. First, it was divided into five levels, combining land, industrial assets, home and real estate, including trees and poultry in the family. Later, he agreed to Zheng Lang's actions. In order to encourage the increase of large livestock in the country, cattle, horse, donkey, mules, camels, and even elephants in the south could not be taxed as assets, nor included in the scope of assets. The effect was very significant. In recent years, large livestock have been increasing. However, pigs, sheep, poultry, are still included in assets, even bamboo and stone.

There is also an algorithm. Sometimes for relief or other factors, it was divided into five-class households below the fifth-class households and divided into five-class households below the fifth-class households. The seven-class households are almost extremely poor, and the ninth-class households are equal to beggars. The targets of this Baoding are households below the fifth-class households, and the fourth-class households are not. After a few people checked the problem, a large family in Hebei owned more than 700 acres of land and a granary at home. Seeing that the grain was rising prices, it was not sold, and it was hoarded. There was 2,500 stones of grain and stones inside, and there was also a small workshop and a luxury house. But I don’t know how he did it, so he turned himself into a fifth-class household, and his second son became a Baoding. The property was nearly 10,000 yuan.

After receiving the report from the people, the censor of the investigation was filled with excitement. You are also a fifth-class household, how much money do we have to have in the Song Dynasty?

There was another family that was more fun. When the censor came to investigate, the court was very poisonous this time, and the people reported it. The minor ones were rewarded with twenty guan, the middle ones were rewarded with fifty guan, and the higher ones were rewarded with one hundred guan. The particularly serious ones could reward two hundred to five hundred guan. There was no need for five hundred guan, and two hundred guan could make the people kill people.

Therefore, there are many people who reported it and cannot escape. They came up with a way to transfer all their property to his nephew. The censor came to investigate and I lost to my nephew with gambling. The censor left. As a result, the nephew did not return his property. In anger, the lawsuit went to the county. The county government was difficult to deal with, and then the state made a fuss. There were many ugly things.

This is Paulding's.

If you don’t check other problems, there were all kinds of bad things in the past. Now, let the additional low-level generals in the camp be used as the main guard, which is a small team, a thousand people are a capital guard, and a large team. There will be problems. However, the previous mobile and extensive free-style management method has been cancelled, and the plan will be done without any consequences. Now if there is a problem, then these low-level generals must be responsible. Therefore, they are only targeted at households, etc.

Then go to the warehouse.

No matter what tricks these little officials use, check each library one by one, check the accounts first, and deal with the accounts immediately on the spot. The accounts are checked again and then check the grain, and bring the county household registration book to check. If you say the grain is released, you post an announcement and post it to various grass markets. The people did not use the Qingmiao method to borrow grain, and come to report it, and there will be rewards. The people who read literacy in the Song Dynasty were far better than the Tang Dynasty, and they could still recognize uncomplicated names.

After checking the results, they all fainted.

The problem is even more serious than Zheng Lang said.

Some of the accounts are wrong, most of the accounts are wrong, and the grain is wrong, and a few are full of methods. Large bran is stuffed into the sacks of granary and sand and gravel. This is good. There are three minor officials in Hebei who manage five warehouses and nearly 20,000 stones of grain. They are very smart. Seeing that the drought is severe, although the court is employed for relief, they will definitely not do as well as above when they come to the bottom. The family still cannot eat enough, so they borrow money. How cruel is the usury in the Song Dynasty? Later generations cannot imagine that some are as high as 300%. They will not come forward and collude with merchants. One is borrowing and the other is selling grain at a high price. After all, if it is paid this year, the price difference will be more than four times. As a result, under greed, the four warehouses will be released with nearly 20,000 stones of grain.

The preferential treatment of scholars and officials in the Song Dynasty did not mean that they would treat minor officials. Moreover, as small officials in the granary, they were somewhat responsible, and the real local tyrants disdained it. Their greedy officials were Kongmu and the guards, and the second was the town household, the guards, the chief names, the guest officials, the official positions, and the yamen. No matter how much they could get a senior household chief, they would do it. The warehouse officials were responsible, and they had to patrol, prevent rats, thefts, moisture and fire, and even often turned over and dry food, which was not a good thing.

Therefore, there is no resistance to dealing with these grain officials. As long as there is a problem, the punishment will be very serious.

After hearing the news, these three little officials felt something was wrong. They had such a big disturbance, so the people had to report it. So they asked the merchants for food. The merchants ignored them. I care about how your food came from. We bought it with grain anyway. We can buy it with grain. Now the price has increased, and we buy it at a higher price. In a hurry, the three little officials committed suicide by hanging themselves.

After stacks of memorials were put together, Zhao Zhen saw everyone flipping through them and said heartbrokenly: "Do these people still know shame?"
