Liu Chang was not Wang Yaochen and Han Qi, so he dared to underestimate Di Qing. He dared not say that he was more noble than Di Qing, and Zheng Lang was inferior to him.

Zheng Lang also said: "Your Majesty treats scholars and officials with gratitude. Don't think that each one is more capable than the emperor. To be honest, in terms of governing the country, there are only two and a half people in my generation who are the best in governing the country. One is Lu Yijian, the other is the emperor, and the other is Pang Ji. The others can only be used as a component, and anyone else can be missing. Why do you hate Di Qing so much, not for the country, but for the group of scholars and officials, think that a warrior serves as Privy Councilor, which wipes the face of the scholars and officials. However, if the country needs scholars and officials, do not need military officials? Both are equally important."

Liu Chang kept silent.

Zheng Lang knew it was difficult to convince him, and said, "You can also be considered a capable minister. You are developing Jinghu South Road and lack talents. However, because you are guarding against Meishan barbarians, there are many military generals and famous generals. I hope you will not treat them with attitude towards Di Qing at that time. If this is the case, I will make things difficult for you. If you can live in peace, I will not make things difficult for you, but will remember you truthfully in the future. And I will often go around to observe. Your name is the Tongzong of Tanzhou, and you may also be in charge of most of the responsibilities of the magistrate of Tanzhou."

If you can't persuade him, you can only use both kindness and power, and force him to learn to respect him.

But Liu Chang's mentality was also the mentality of most scholars and officials, which made Zheng Lang feel a little worried.

"Also, I don't like conspiracy and tricks. I have never used any conspiracy and tricks in China, including this time when I negotiated with Wen Yanbo. But if I were sent, I wouldn't. And I did, but I sent it all to Jiaozhi, Xixia and Khitans. If I don't believe it, you can write a letter to ask your brother-in-law, who has served as the Deputy Envoy of the Privy Council for many years and knows many inside stories. Once I send them to you, even Lu Yijian may not be as good as me."

Zheng Lang complained again.

Historical books record Liu Chang as a rare good minister in the ages, but by his ability to talk about Di Qing to this point, I am afraid that he is a good minister, not a pure minister, and he has many thoughts.

Zheng Lang also finished this sentence in the palace, but it was a little different. Zheng Lang just sighed that Wen Yanbo and others were extremely capable of fighting in the nest, and treated real enemies such as Jiaozhi and Xixia, one by one became stupid turtles.

However, this also seems to have become a good tradition in China for 5,000 years, this life is, and the previous life is.

But Zheng Lang was not strong when speaking, and he made a mistake. He had been experiencing Confucian books for many years, and he was somewhat sour and did not like to lie. Zhao Zhen did not blame him, but Zheng Lang himself kept blaming himself. This also made Zhao Zhen value it. In theory, Zheng Lang was almost infinitely close to the legendary true gentleman, of course, it was just a theory. When he thought of this, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but increase his resentment towards his daughter.

Therefore, Zheng Lang entered the court with two mats and was about to make a big comeback at the court meeting, and finally forced himself to endure it.

He took Liu Chang back to Tanzhou to hand over, but Zheng Lang called the ministers to discuss.

He had not received a letter from Zhang Fangping, but Zheng Lang also figured it out that the court could not meet his money needs.

Only by repeatedly reducing expenses.

After discussing all day, everyone was exhausted, and Zheng Lang felt sorry for Wen Yanbo in his heart, and even Fu Bi was scolded.

When he left, he gave Pang Ji a good foundation. When Pang Ji left, he was not weak. After only a few years, he was defeated. He sent the ministers away, but asked Zhang Kang, Guo Kui, Zhang Chen, Zhong Pin, and Yang Wenguang to stay.

What is said below must not be revealed.

No matter how tight the funds are this year, Zheng Lang plans to end by next year's chun day. It is not for his own sake, but for the northwest.

Like Zhao Xun, Zhang Kang will definitely stay there. Both of them can be both literary and military, not only can they go to the battlefield to command and kill the enemy, but also can govern the people as a good official.

But Guo Kui, Zhang Chen, Yang Wenguang and Zhong Yan must be sent to all parts of the northwest to enrich the northwest's strength.

There was no one else, and these generals could be regarded as Zheng Lang's direct confidants. Zhang Kang asked: "What's wrong with Di Qing, Mr. Zheng?"

"I went to Yanzhou."

"Go to Yanzhou," Zhong Yan muttered in a low voice.

"Don't think too much about those who go to Yanzhou as a member of the Tong Pingzhangshi. Originally, the court was planning to sentence Di Qing to the magistrate of Chenzhou." Not only did he sentence Chenzhou, he also went on with all kinds of false charges. What Zheng Lang could save was only here. If he wanted to keep Di Qing in the Western Prefecture as Prime Minister, even Zheng Lang would not be able to be demoted from the court, but he went to the northwest according to Di Qing's wishes. This was a combination of the two ministers.

The few people stopped talking, but their faces were not very good.

"Everyone, the court system is just a floating and ups and downs. This will not appear and the ministers and ministers who are chaotic. Don't think too much about it. I'll talk about the northwest next," Zheng Lang said.

It is not to let several generals go to the northwest to start a war, but to defend. However, it is not passive defense, to be more proactive and more aggressive. Zheng Lang has no command rights, but can give advice.

You should not be too conservative in strategy, but once a war occurs, you must be careful when writing memorials. The facts cannot be concealed, but you can work hard in writing, such as the difference between a hundred battles and a hundred defeats and a hundred defeats to avoid the disgust of the scholars and officials.

One defense and two practices, and training should not be ignored. But prevention must be the main focus and the war cannot be spread and expanded.

There is no need to wait for the first-class economy to improve. This cannot be relied on Wen Yanbo. Second-class artillery technology is mature, and third-class six scouts have grown up. Due to factors such as time and age, although the six scouts have been trusted by Mozang Epang, they have also served as generals. During this period, the court secretly made many efforts and sent many scouts to spy on the news, allowing the six to make some military achievements in the wars between the Western Xia and the Tubo and Khitans. However, their positions have not yet reached the level of satisfaction of Zheng Lang.

Don’t have half of Li Qing’s rights, even if you have one-tenth of the military power in the hands of the general Li Qing of the Xixia in the future, once the opportunity is ripe, all six generals will attack, which will have a fatal impact on the entire battle.

This is the highest core secret of the Song Dynasty, and no more than ten people know the identities of six people.

Even though the five generals were Zheng Lang's confidant, Zheng Lang said it vaguely. He said that at least let them understand the general direction, and when they arrived in the northwest, it would be easier to plan various countermeasures and strategies. Guo Kui said: "Where is Wang Song?"

"If used well, the effect is far better than that of Wang Song."

He also speculated that there would be no power dispute between brothers and sisters in the near future. The five generals were not surprised. When they were exposed to imperial power, not to mention brothers and sisters, they often turned against each other and became enemies. Emperor Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty and Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, which was considered peaceful, but they caused many major storms before each ascending the throne.

Zheng Lang expressed his thoughts one by one, and Zhang Kang said: "Mr. Zheng is good at making plans. Once he is not Zang Epang and Liangzha, it will be easier to destroy Xixia."

"We still can't underestimate it, and we can also participate in this rhythm. It's getting late, so let's disperse." Then, when we returned home, we did not send Zhao Niannu away immediately, but fell down and went to bed. The next day, we did not send Zhao Niannu to Yuelu Mountain.

It's not for fun, but for Shan Changsun Zhou.

Zheng Lang attached great importance to the Chineseization of the barbarians, so he established a super-large academy in Guizhou. This is a large official nature, with good scenery layout, and the scale is among the best in the Song Dynasty. However, the quality and funding of education are far less than that of some well-known academies. For example, the Juyang Academy in Yingtian Prefecture, which is also an official nature. There are also some official or government-sponsored academies, Songshan Academy in Songshan, Bailudong Academy in Lushan, Maoshan Academy in Jiangning, Huaxin Hualin Academy in Anyi, Leitang Academy in Anyi, etc. There are also two more famous ones on Jinghu South Road, one is the famous Yuelu Academy in Yuelu Mountain, and the Shigu Academy under Huiyan Peak in Shigu Mountain in Hengyang.

Some are extremely large in scale, such as Juyang Academy, which is not only large, but also has more famous students on the list because it is close to the capital.

Some academies are large or small in scale, but because they are far away from the capital and have a strong teaching capacity, they are mostly education, and the education is very lively. However, they all focus on solar terms and focus on studying education and academic studies. The students come to learn to learn, but few of them participate in the imperial examinations.

Later, because they value integrity and neglect fame and fortune, many academies opposed the pedantic reading style of scholars for the imperial examination. These styles were relatively noble, with a strong academic atmosphere, and the atmosphere of teaching and free travel was favored and admired by scholars.

These include Yuelu Academy. It was later famous and is now famous, but it is not as powerful as the influence of later generations. Now, Yuelu Academy is not as large as Juyang Academy.

After decades of history, in the ninth year of Kaibao, Zhu Dong, the governor of Tanzhou, erected academy on the site of the original school run by monks of the Tang Dynasty. During the Xiangfu period, Emperor Zhenzong of Song personally summoned the mountain president Zhou Shi and had four large-character plaques in his court. Yuelu Academy gradually emerged.

Although the scale is strong, it is still far from that of later generations.

As two famous educational units on Jinghu South Road, Zheng Lang has visited several times.

However, one thing got stuck.

Zheng Lang was preparing to set up a school to educate the barbarians, and adopted his approach in Guangdong and Guangxi to sinicize the barbarians from top to bottom. It cannot be said that they were unsuccessful. During the Shaosheng period in history, the Meishan barbarians emerged as a Jinshi Liu Yundi under some sinicization policies.

In fact, the court still played a very small role in it, and did not adopt various Chinese and educational policies such as Zheng Lang with obvious goals and large scale. Now it is the beginning, and sooner or later, more barbarians and Jinshi will be on the list.

Knowing that the two academies have a noble style, Zheng Lang wanted to set up a new academy to educate the barbarians. However, all the barbarians heard the reputation of the two academies and asked their children to enter the two academies. Due to their geographical location, Shigu Academy had agreed to recruit a group of good-qualified barbarians to enroll. The number was not large, only a few dozen people. They wanted to gain their talent and foundation. However, Yuelu Academy has not been relaxed.

Zheng Lang took Liu Chang again to the Huang Cave of Yuelu Mountain and found Sun Zhou.

He brought generous conditions and promised Sun Zhou to renovate Yuelu Academy and withdraw some money from the tight funds to provide funding, but asked Sun Zhou to agree to summon 100 barbarian students.

It was a request, and even Zheng Lang did not dare to force the order.

Sun Zhou still received the reception, and Zheng Lang always came, but he just refused to accept the barbarians as students. The reason was very simple. Yuelu Academy was a place of knowledge, harmonious and harmonious. He did not want to call the barbarians to let the barbarians live in mixed places, causing some trouble.

The three of them sat down and Zheng Lang asked, "Chief Sun Shan, have you considered it?"

Sun Zhou just drank tea.

Suddenly he opened his eyes and asked, "I sent someone to find the doctrine of mean and righteousness you wrote."

"Well," Zheng Lang smiled slightly. He was quite famous in the Confucian world of the Song Dynasty, but this reputation is not very important to the secular world, but it has little influence on Yuelu Academy.

"I first looked at the doctrine of the mean you wrote and focused on three points."

"Because the mean talks about adjustment, I emphasize three points."

"But you seem to be overthrowing it in your kindness."

"It cannot be considered overthrown, it is just a complexity. In reality, it is impossible to have only three colors: black, white and gray, black and white, yin and yang constitute the basis of all things, but in reality, it is impossible to have pure yin, pure black or pure yang, pure white. It is impossible to have pure gray, and there are also many colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. These colors are also subdivided into countless types, such as bean green, sky green, east green, pear green, egg green, crab shell green, shrimp green, felt-covered, blue and white purple, blue and white, purple green, new orange green, fruit green green,

Melon peel green, green feather green, pine and flower green, etc. Therefore, yin and yang are the foundation of all things, and the three parts are the main body in reality. Therefore, the Master talks about benevolence and meaning, which talks about yin and yang, but focuses on the fact that benevolence and righteousness are opposite and mutually reborn. The extension begins, the sixty-four hexagrams start with Qian Kun, Qian is Yang and Heaven, Kun is Yin and Earth. But all things begin with the third hexagram, and the sixty-two hexagrams of the sixty-four hexagrams are adapted to real life. It’s a pity that the Master passed away too early, otherwise Confucianism will be more perfect.”

Sun Zhou refused to say anything.

Zheng Lang said again: "To put it simply, the so-called three-point is the measure of the people. However, governing the world is not that simple. If it turns into real knowledge, it will become very complicated."

Just like the metaphor of Einstein's theory of relativity, in fact, the theory of relativity is more than just that metaphor, it is a very profound science.

Zheng Lang stretched and said, "Sun Shan, but no matter what Confucianism has, it will never leave its roots. We must pretend to be the world, the people of the world, the emperor and the country. We will help the emperor become a wise ruler, share the worries and worries for the emperor, govern the people, and make the people live and work in peace and contentment.

This is the true Tao of Confucianism. Whether it is benevolence, righteousness, propriety, music, sage, wisdom, mean, loyalty, forgiveness, filial piety, or three parts, they are all served for this Tao. The same is true for the court system. The world is not the world of scholars and officials, nor the world of military generals, but the world of Your Majesty, the world of the people of the world, whether it is a scholar or military general, it is only a tool of service."

As he said that, he turned his head and looked at Liu Chang meaningfully.

He also said: "Since the mountain leader is inquiring about it, I will say another passage, and the same is true for knowledge. The master pretends to be the people of the world, and the barbarians are also people of the Song Dynasty. If the mountain leader can figure it out and is afraid that the Han and the barbarians will live together, which will cause chaos. I will ask someone to build another cave in front of Qingfeng Gorge. How about your academy's teachings? "

"Let me think about it again."

"I can't think about it anymore. I will leave Jinghu South Road next year. I may leave after the day, and there is not much time. I also know that because of the different living habits of barbarians, it will cause a lot of trouble to your academy. I can plan for the world, plan for peace in the future, and plan for the people's blessings, please think twice."

Sun Zhou finally let go: "It is rumored that Mr. Zheng is a rare loyal minister in my Song Dynasty. It is indeed not a false statement. I had to agree."

"Zhong, how dare you behave, but I'm going down to thank the mountains." Zheng Langshen gave a big gift.

Walking from Yuelu Mountain, Liu Chang frowned and pondered.

What he deliberately brought him here, let him reflect, remove his impetuousness and become more solid, and maybe this person will truly become a good official.

Then I went to the Unmoved Mansion.

He told Zhao Niannu about the situation and looked at the child in her arms again. It was almost a month ago, and the wrinkles on his face had not yet stretched out. He was lucky to be very healthy.

He came over from Zhao Niannu's arms and said, "I'm going to send someone to Ezhou secretly."

As he said that, an apology appeared on his face.

"Mr. Zheng, will your father be angry?"

"Yes, but you don't have to worry. He is an elder," Zheng Lang said this and felt a little sad. It turned out that Zheng Lang regarded Zhao Zhen as a good brother and good friend in his heart. Now he had to become an elder, and said: "As the emperor, he is a good emperor, and as a father, he is also a good father. If he asks him to scold him a few words and admit his mistake, he will be safe."

"Mr. Zheng, I'll drag you down."

"You don't have to worry about me, but you have suffered a lot. Let's avoid the news of this period of time first. In a few years, your father will seriously find a good family to marry."

"Mr. Zheng, it's enough to have him. I don't dare to marry that person anymore." Zhao Niannu touched his son's face, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

But Zheng Lang felt sour in his heart, and said, "How can that work?"
