Zheng Lang's face was very calm.

This time when I returned to the court, my main task was to overthrow Wenfu Pang. Di Qing could go on, and you, Wen Yanbo, would also go on.

He said peacefully: "Gong-gong Wen, if Xixia invades the border, the generals in the court will not be accepted by Qinghuang, and some useful generals stay in Tanzhou and cannot be separated. Who will guard the northwest? Will you go? What is the record of your command in Qinzhou?"

Zheng Lang was not good at that pot. The Northern Song Dynasty and Yuanhao negotiated peace. Zheng Lang returned to Kaifeng. Wen Yanbo was in Qinzhou. The foreigners planned to rebellion, and Wen Yanbo was defeated. Of course, if the suppression was finally carried out, how could a few small tribes rebelled, and how could they accomplish great things?

Explanation that Wen Yanbo did not understand military affairs, Zheng Lang said again: "Di Qing was only a governor of the Tang Dynasty, not An Lushan. He controlled the financial and military power of most of Hedong, Hebei. He was just a governor, and could shake the entire Song Dynasty? Not to mention Di Qing, Li Jing and Wei Qing were alive, they would not have thought of success. If even a border state should be guarded, if there is any problem on the border in the future, do you still need to use military generals? Don't use military generals to command, literati and doctors, and then go to fight to kill the enemy in person? Who can say that you dare to go to fight to kill the enemy in person?"

Zheng Lang took a few more steps and asked, "Mr. Wen, you all say that Di Qing was a military general and could not serve as Privy Councilor. The northwest Nai Zhan Nai Army. What is Chenzhou? The key to the country is to govern or prevent it. A general does not allow a military general to go to the northwest to defend the Western Xia, but he let a famous military general serve as Chenzhou, threatening the security of the country's capital and not good at governing. Mr. Wen, what are your intentions? Di Qing asked what crime should be demoted? He was also a Privy Councilor of a country, but the king replied that there is nothing else, I doubt it! Don't ask you to be a minister, will Your Majesty dare to answer like this? The country is such a ancestral legal system, and the prime minister is this prime minister who does this!"

Since he used the system to attack Di Qing, Zheng Lang also used the system to refute Wen Yanbo.

After saying that, he said, "Your Majesty, I have made a mistake in court disputes. Please dismiss all the Fengzhi doctors from the light chariot commander."

With this dismissal, Zheng Lang almost became a naked official.

Zhao Zhen said strangely again: "Accurate."

But Wen Yanbo's forehead sweated more and more. Zheng Lang resigned again and again, which brought him a great threat. He was forced to a dead end and sighed and said, "Your Majesty, I am also considering the country and not wanting the country to make mistakes. If Zheng Lang repeatedly cunningly, I have nothing to say. In the case of Liutahe, I have made any mistakes. Please allow you to resign from the position of prime minister."

There is no other way, Zheng Lang came to him and refused to refuse. Zheng Lang may continue to fight. He cannot escape the mistakes of Liutahe. If he continues to fight, he will be even more embarrassed.

Zhao Zhen pondered for a while and said, "Zhuo, I ordered Wen Yanbo to be the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy to be the judge of Bingzhou, and Pang Ji returned to Beijing as the Tongpingzhang Office, and Han Qi returned to Beijing as the Privy Councilor, and Chang was the governor of Tanzhou."

There was a sound of air conditioning coming from the hall.

It doesn’t count if a prime minister falls down, but he also works as an imperial edict. What is Tanzhou? What else can Liu Chang have to end?

This edict was unexpected by Zheng Lang. He thought of something, what would happen if the proud Han Qi and Pang Ji worked together? It didn't seem very wonderful. The plot of Pang Ji and Han Qi meeting each other appeared in his mind, and fine beads of sweat also emerged from Zheng Lang's forehead.

Zhao Zhen didn't expect that, and looked at Di Qing again and said, "Di Qing, although you are not wrong, it is equivalent to having something wrong because you have caused so much controversy. I asked you to judge Yanzhou. Is Coke?"

"I am willing." Di Qing replied loudly. The same delegated one was to Chenzhou with the wrong delegated one. He continued to be tortured by the scholars and officials, and the other was to be to Yanzhou without guilt. He would not be tortured again. The nature became a world of difference. Why not be happy?

"Also, I heard that you have a cervical back and went to the northwest. It is a place of bitterness and coldness. You need to take more care of yourself." Zhao Zhen said. At this time, Zhao Zhen passed his peak period and still had wisdom. Zheng Lang talked to him for a long time yesterday, clearing the clouds and fog to see the bright moon, realizing the importance of Di Qing to the country, and also realizing Di Qing's loyalty. This time, Di Qing was really wronged. Not only was he demoted, he was also slandered by civil officials, and he felt a little guilty.

Zhao Zhen's soft words and Zheng Lang rushed back calmly to seek justice for him, which was enough for Di Qing.

Di Qing leaned on the ground and choked and said, "I thank you for your Majesty."

Zhao Zhen sighed even more and looked at the ministers and said, "Who is right and wrong about Di Qing, please don't pursue it again in the future. The ancestors' legal system made me value the scholars and officials, but they should not let the soldiers feel too disappointed. Also, please follow me out of the city and see something good."

Fu Bi then woke up and said, "Your Majesty, Liutahe has made mistakes, and I have also made mistakes. Please let me vent my duties as a preceptor and warn you all."

Zhao Zhen glanced at Fu Bi with profound meaning and said, "When Pang Ji passed by the capital, I was happy to have two prime ministers. Pang Ji said, "If you don't take charge of the people and ministers, you will not hate them. If you take charge of the people and ministers, you will have to blame them. If you use the state's money, silk and titles to buy ministers, you cannot be called loyal ministers."

There were many outrageous words, but Zhao Zhen did not disgrace Fu Bi and shouted: "Prepare for the journey."

Walking on the road, Bao Zheng's face was not very good.

He first returned to the court and had a clear distinction between public and private affairs, one is one, two is two. After experiencing the ups and downs of officialdom, he was slightly changed and considered a straightforward minister, but it did not match the legendary image of Bao Qingtian, because he was a faction between Zheng Lang and Wen Yanbo, and was suppressed by Chen Zhizhong and demoted to Chizhou. He was recommended by Wen Yanbo to become the prefect of Jiangning first, and was transferred back to the capital to serve as the prefect of Kaifeng. The biggest legend in his life began.

He is considered a good official, very similar to Cheng Kan, Cheng Shimeng and other officials. However, Bao Zheng is the most famous one.

Zheng Lang fought against Wen Yanbo and brought Wen Yanbo down, but Wen Yanbo's status in Bao Zheng's heart is still very high. After this dynasty competition, Zheng Lang and Wen Yanbo will undoubtedly become life-and-death rivals in the future, which made him feel confused.

Zheng Lang came to him, his wings were flapping was big enough, and many officials' fates were changing. Changes in fate would have a certain impact on their personality and would also bring different changes. He did not want Bao Zheng to be depressed and whispered: "Xi Ren, you cannot bring private affairs to business. Xiwen is Xi, and your name also has the word Xi. I hope you learn from Xiwen and take heaven as your responsibility. Public is public and private is private."

"yes."

"Do you still remember the poem you wrote when you entered Beijing as an alternate official? Be a good official."

Bao Zheng was shocked.

Zheng Lang smiled with satisfaction. After this big change, the two people who had the greatest influence were not Wen Yanbo. It was normal for civil servants to rise and fall, but Bao Zheng. Between him and Wen Yanbo, he would inevitably have confusion, and Di Qing. As long as he was not depressed, he would not die early in middle age, and wait until Mr. Wang from Jiangxi appeared. The Song Dynasty generals were not short of people.

"Mr. Zheng, will you return to Beijing next year?"

"Xiren, my official position has almost been demoted. Don't mention the word "Mr. I'll call me Xingzhi. The Jinghu South Road has been in trouble, and I plan to go back to Zhengzhou first."

"Zhengzhou?"

"Yes, I'm wrong. Go back to Zhengzhou to reflect."

"It's not wrong." Bao Zheng thought he was over the system and twice over the system. This time there was a little controversy. For a Di Qing, the court was in chaos, but last time he returned to Beijing, he was willing to do so. If Zheng Lang did not remind him, he would not know how many people would drown.

Zheng Lang didn't dare to tell the inside story, shook his head and said, "Xi Ren, you don't understand."

"Even if you retire, your Majesty will not be allowed."

"Let's talk about it, even if your Majesty is not allowed, I don't plan to be the official of the capital. I will continue to float around the place as a punishment."

Bao Zheng was speechless. It turned out that this was the seven-injury boxing, and it hurts others and yourself.

After leaving Nanxun Gate, we gradually arrived in the suburbs. Due to the increase in the number of people, even though the outer city was built during the Zhenzong period, many people still lived outside the outer city. However, after the heavy flooding, the people suffered serious damage and autumn came. It did not fully recover.

You can see the people building many new houses, but occasionally you can see some people showing off their faces.

Zheng Lang strode forward and came to Fu Bi, Wang Yaochen and Liu Qing. The three of them were his old subordinates, so they didn't need to be careful when speaking, and said, "Brother Yanguo, Brother Boyong, Brother Chongzhi, take a look. Although there are disasters, the country has not fought for a long time and has been resting for several years, there are so many poor people. This is the capital. If you go to other prefectures and counties in Henan, how serious will the situation be? Did the Secretariat make any mistakes?"

Liu Ying said: "The court allocated a large amount of money for relief."

"I heard that, but has the court been able to effectively transfer these funds to the victims with the least amount of waste?"

This is the problem.

Not only does the increase in redundant officials have led to increased spending on the court, improper handling of government affairs, frequent corruption and bribery, and inefficient efficiency have caused unnecessary waste. The same 10 million disaster relief funds have completely different effects.

Why does this happen and does not act?

It can be said that the three prime ministers are not good ministers, Fu Bi was the only true gentleman in the late Zhao Zhen period, Wang Yaochen was a capable minister, and Liu Han was the true prime minister. No matter how capable the three of them were, they would not have a positive effect if they worked or did not work hard.

After Zheng Lang finished speaking, he didn't say anything else and stepped back.

Even if he was not in the court, with Yu Lu going on a patrol, the ministers had rules before and after. Zheng Lang repeatedly demoted himself and his position was further down, dozens of people than Sima Guang.

It was done according to the rules, but many officials in front seemed to have thorns on their backs, which was very uncomfortable.

There are fewer and fewer people, and I have really reached the suburbs.

It is where the weapons were developed by the Ordnance Supervision Commissioner was transferred to Shi Heng.

All the officials hurried down to welcome the imperial guards.

Shi Heng brought out more than a dozen things, real artillery.

Zheng Lang discussed with him, which inspired him, and finally conquered the difficulty of the first artillery technology one by one.

Immaturity and many problems still exist. We cannot start formal production on a large scale, but we can try it in advance.

I spent a lot of money and I also wanted to give everyone confidence.

But Zheng Lang asked Shi Heng to take out the cannon after he returned to Beijing, and there were other intentions.

The arrangement of cannons was made by imitating the tiger squat cannons of the Ming Dynasty. More than a dozen types of cannon drawings were given, all of which were from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. The artillery technology in later generations was too difficult, not something that Zheng Lang could master, nor was it that this era could master. However, the artillery technology in the early Ming Dynasty was too backward and not very powerful, so Zheng Lang let it go one by one.

Among these dozen types of artillery, the technology is simple, and that's it. It has been invested in research and development for nearly ten years and has not been completely successful.

It is slightly longer, eighty centimeters long, and is also heavy, weighing fifty-six kilograms. However, this weight does not hinder transportation. It is also equipped with iron claws and iron trips. When firing, you can use large iron nails to stabilize the cannon body to prevent recoil and jumping during firing, which looks like a squatting tiger.

However, the shell technology is slightly advanced. Cotton gunpowder is used as a fuse. Although it is still black gunpowder, the black gunpowder formula is more standard, which makes the range longer, reaching more than 300 steps. The shells are not only gunpowder, but also arsenic sulfur poison, because the explosion power is greater. In addition to the black gunpowder, it also contains some caltrops and iron bombs. The lethality is far stronger than the tiger squat cannon in history.

Of course, the funds for research and development are also an astronomical figure. In recent years, this workshop was just spent more than 800,000 yuan in the imperial court.

The craftsmen in the workshop put on many scarecrows, and let the scarecrows put on the ruined armor.

Then test the gun.

Scarecrows quickly exploded, and some of the armors on their bodies were blown into small holes by caltrops.

The only thing that was dissatisfied was that a cannon exploded again.

The flaws do not hide the merits, and everyone sees them very brightly, and their power is not as powerful as the gunpowder pack, but their speed and range are all about them.

Although the gunpowder pack is powerful, it is slow to launch it with a catapult, so it is better to use it first. After using it, the enemy will be on guard, which is expensive, but the lethality is decreasing. Moreover, because of its large weight, it is thrown by a catapult, with a short range and the launch speed is also very slow.

That cannonball, more than 300 steps, is enough to cover the most threatening battlefields in the era of cold weapons. And it is extremely fast and almost no trajectory of shell ejection, so it is unlikely to prevent it.

After the test shot, Zhao Zhen was moved and came to the cannon affectionately, stroked the hot cannon barrel with his hand, and said, "Okay, it should be worth 100,000 elite soldiers, no, it should be worth 500,000 elite soldiers."

It is conceivable that although it has not been successful now, once it succeeds, hundreds of such artillery will appear on the battlefield, which will be destructive to the enemy.

Especially for some military generals, Wang Deyong and Di Qing looked at the dozen cannons, their eyes turned green.

Zheng Lang walked forward and said, "Your Majesty, my servants, this is just a backward artillery. There are some weapons behind it, including some fire systems that are easy to carry and easier to launch. However, it is more difficult and cannot be developed for a long time."

"Don't hurry, don't hurry, reward, reward." Zhao Zhen excitedly promoted the rewards, and rewarded officials and silk.

Then he walked around in front of the cannon excitedly and said, "It's great to study physics."

This time, it finally caused Zhao Zhen to be extremely cautious.

Not only him, but also Zeng Gongliang was extremely excited. He was in charge of the Ordnance Supervision from the beginning, and he spent countless money. Although he invented some weapons and gadgets, it was not very practical and spent a lot of money, which made some ministers suspicious.

Now I can finally explain it.

In addition, the Ordnance Supervision also faces a problem. Not many people know how to study physics, including Shi Heng, and they are bumpy during research and development. If you want to have more staff, you have to learn. However, although Zheng Lang has written several books on studying physics, there are very few students. This also hinders the speed of research and development.

Go forward and tell the question.

At this time, he had been moved to Hanlin Bachelor and Master of the Imperial Producer. In fact, Zhao Zhen had already planned to let him enter the two prefectures. Several ministers from the Secretariat were not very satisfied with him during this period and were preparing to inject a new pattern. However, because Di Qing and the Secretariat were too frequent, they had not been appointed yet.

Zhao Zhen said in his forehead: "Okay, please write a note and present it."
