Zhao Zhen asked lightly: "You guys, what do you think?"

Fu Bi and Pang Ji looked at each other.

Because Wen Yanbo went down, relatively speaking, the four bigwigs of the Secretariat were not evil to Zheng Lang. Needless to say, Pang Ji was the prime minister twice, both of which were strongly promoted by Zheng Lang. He also praised him as two and a half-man in the Song Dynasty, saying that the emperor could govern the country, and that Lu Yijian could govern the country, who dared to fight? Lu Yijian died, that is, he was the first among the ministers. This honor made him feel sad.

No matter what, it is really not evil to Zheng Lang.

Fu Bi and Wang Yaochen may have some small knots in their hearts, but they dare not do anything to Zheng Lang. That is called ungratefulness.

Zeng Gongliang has always cooperated well with Zheng Lang, especially when he was in charge of the military surveillance, the relationship between the two was the most tacit. However, the Xifu was a little complicated, and Han Qi was not easy to say. Jia Changchao was Zheng Lang's political enemy, and Cheng Kan was Wen Yanbo's in-laws. Only Tian Kuan's background was a little simpler, so he had the least say in Xifu.

Fu Bi thought before and afterwards, he might have thought that Zheng Lang was going to retreat as a step forward, but this time Zheng Lang entered Beijing, Fu Bi obviously felt that Zheng Lang was a little depressed and would definitely not be going to retreat as a step forward. If Zheng Lang really resigned, then the world would be in chaos. If nothing else, he would make the people scold him to death.

So he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have made mistakes in the Liutahe affairs. Zheng Lang is the minister who governs the country. After nearly five years of going south, he has made great contributions and has many difficulties in the country. It is better to let him return to the East Palace, and let Zheng Lang take charge of the East Palace again."

Pang Ji kept silent.

He and Fu Bi were not people along the way. In his heart, Fu Bi was a good thing.

As for Wang Yaochen and Zeng Gongliang, they would not express their opinions. Could it be that Zheng Lang would return to the East Prefecture to be a political affairs officer?

Zhao Zhen glanced at the four people and said, "Let's do this, I will issue an edict to call Zheng Qing the Hanlin scholar to make an imperial edict."

"This is not very appropriate, Your Majesty," said Fu Bi.

"Zheng Qing made great contributions to going south, but he also made many mistakes. Just hold on like this." Zhao Zhen said lightly.

"Your Majesty," Fu Bi still had to argue, because he made a mistake and had already dealt with it. Either the princess returned to Beijing after the fall of last year, but if she had to make a mistake, it was your daughter's mistake, and it had nothing to do with Zheng Lang.

Zhao Zhen said: "That's it. Everyone retreated."

Fu Bi walked out and finally had a trace of doubt in his heart. Zheng Lang said so last year. I made a big mistake. Zhao Zhen said so at this time. What big mistake did he make? He still didn't expect Zhao Niannu. Because the place where the accident happened was not in Tanzhou, but in Huixi City. No matter how he walked around, he had to pass through a large area of ​​barbarians' residence. Before the Kaihuanhuan, what was this area? The southern wilderness, the barbarian wilderness, and the place where all officials in the Central Plains feared.

How Zhao Niannu and a eunu arrived at Huixi City? He couldn't imagine it, and he never expected that the adventures of the two of them would be forced to be a beggar.

I couldn't think of the truth, but I thought of Wuyi's wife. But I still couldn't figure it out. Even if Zheng Lang and the beautiful queen of Xixia were told, it was really nothing, unless Zheng Lang forced Wuyi's wife to be a concubine.

But why did not move the clan and follow the princess all the way north? Did Zheng Lang really want to take the clan and become a concubine, which made His Majesty angry? Zheng Lang is not a fool. Even if he retires, he can't do this.

Keep asking questions.

The edict quickly moved south.

The result was unexpectedly unexpected by most people, and Zheng Lang disagreed and asked to retire.

Even some doubters believed and doubted it. It seemed that Zheng Lang was going to take it seriously.

Some people also talked about personnel changes in the two governments. The positions of the two governments are not empty. What will Zheng Lang do when he comes back? He is really a master of imperial edicts and turns from a powerful prime minister to a two-system official. Will Zheng Lang be convinced?

So the Secretariat Minister met Zhao Zhen again.

Zhao Zhen looked at Nanfang with a smile on his lips.

Well, it's really good. Although you make a mistake, you know it and cannot be publicized, but you are consistent in your words and deeds and punish them if you make mistakes, which makes Zhao Zhen very satisfied.

His smile inevitably made the four masters of the Secretariat imaginary, and only one thing was certain. The emperor was not annoyed by Zheng Lang, but how Zheng Lang arranged it was quite a headache.

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said, "Let me do this. I will ask the two-system officials to draft an edict and let Zheng Qing be the Jingdong Road Transport Commissioner, and he will agree."

"Not appropriate," the four of them said almost in unison.

The transferee of the whole road seems to be a local boss, but his power is limited. Often, the governor of a large state will not take the transferee seriously. Moreover, the capital officials are far more valuable than the local officials. Even a small censor in the capital is more noble than the transferee of the whole road.

In other words, Zheng Lang came back with great achievements, not only did not get promoted, but instead demoted him.

"It's not inappropriate, it's very appropriate. Otherwise, would you watch Zheng Lang forcefully retire?"

The four of them all showed a hint of confusion. If Zheng Lang wanted to retire and not be ordered by the court, this was not only innocent, but also a symbol of indifference. At that point, no one could do anything about Zheng Lang. But this position... After leaving the inner palace, the four prime ministers were a little bitter in their mouths.

Zhao Zhen turned around and arrived in the harem, scolded Zhao Niannu, and criticized him fiercely, because you did it nonsense, I lost a prime minister.

Zhao Niannu was so confused that he didn't dare to speak. He handed his son to Zhao Zhen's arms and said, "Gui'er, call him bad Weng Weng."

He is a grandson, but he is finally a third generation descendant. Zhao Zhen held his grandson and stopped getting angry.

Zhao Niannu said, "Father, why don't he let him appease the envoy for the politician?"

"You started talking nonsense again. Jingdong Road is not a border area. What kind of strategic pacification envoy is added? If it weren't for my sudden inspiration, Xingzhi would really make you retreat back to Zhengzhou."

"What kind of inspiration is this?"

"Yellow River, the Yellow River is still one of Xingzhi's heart problems. If you want to treat the Yellow River, you must be familiar with Hebei Road, Jingdong Road, and some situations in the west and Lianghuai Rivers. Among them, Hebei Road is the top priority, followed by Jingdong Road. However, because the Liuta River is already full of devastation, Xingzhi is not suitable for going to Xingzhi now, and only Jingdong Road is left. Because of the Yellow River, he will not retire. Otherwise, my important arm will break you this time!" Zhao Zhen began to get angry again, and his voice became louder, which scared Li Gui to cry and wanted to coax his grandson, which allowed Zhao Niannu to escape the disaster.

Zhao Zhenzhen is really trying to pinch Zheng Lang's inner world.

After seeing the edict, Zheng Lang did not refuse. He listened to the edict and prepared to return.

Then many personnel transfers were transferred. Unlike others who thought, Zheng Lang generously recommended Liu Chang to govern Tanzhou. At this time, Tanzhou was not Tanzhou at that time. Although Tanzhou was the capital of Jinghu South Road, because the status of Jinghu South Road was not important, it was not as important as that of second-rate small states like Dingzhou and Chenzhou. But now Tanzhou is no longer the former Tanzhou. The entire Jinghu South Road, the imperial court, including the early road construction funds, spent more than 20 million yuan. If this money was used in the hands of other officials, it might be the same, but if Zheng Lang used it, at least 90% of it really played a role.

The treatment of Jinghu South Road began. Zheng Lang planted the seeds and was about to mature. As long as he did not do too badly, Zhitanzhou would be the first to pick Zheng Lang plant the fruits.

This mind alone makes people feel beyond the reach.

There were also some generals who were transferred, but Zheng Lang was demoted without moving, but the soldiers made contributions. They each added real-time officials and transferred them to various places in Shaanxi, leaving only one person, Zhang Kang, who was the pacifier of Jinghu South Road at that time. These soldiers all set out first.

Zheng Lang was the last person to leave.

Many fellow villagers in Tanzhou sent Zheng Lang's family to the dock. An unexpected person came to see him off, Sun Zhou.

Don’t think that these people may not be very famous in history, but because of their integrity, they only teach but not become officials, and are highly respected by scholars. Even Han Qi dare not neglect these great ministers.

Zheng Lang smiled and said, "Sun Shanchang has come too, which makes me overjoyed."

Sun Zhou smiled and said, "I'm here to explain something."

"Oh, can you tell me? Let's listen carefully."

"So I agree to accept the children of barbarians to enroll. It is not to respect Duke Zheng's Confucianism. I have read the Confucianism of Duke Zheng one by one, and it is mostly tampered with. I don't agree with it."

"Sun Shan, I don't agree with the words of the mountain leader. If you don't change it, you will let the old Confucianism be promoted before, and there will be endless troubles. If Confucianism wants to make progress and achieve the Master's wishes, it must learn to be tolerant and absorb. Whether it is the law, Taoism, Mo, peasants, soldiers, or Buddhist progressive remarks, it must be absorbed. Just like our dynasty, we can take charge of the rule, but in economic, military or other aspects, it is not the leader of the literati and officials. Even if some scholars and officials are proficient in them, they will be a minority. If they do not master the right position and mislead the country, not only will the country be in danger, but even Confucian scholars will be less likely to be misleading the country because of the misleading the country. Unless Confucianism integrates some soldiers, peasants, and merchants, it will not be excluded."

"Then is still a Confucianism?"

Zheng Lang also smiled and didn't want to tell the difference. In this regard, his thoughts were very similar to Wang Anshi, but Zheng Lang's ideas should be slightly gentler.

History has also proved his point of view. If it remains unchanged, the Confucian wheel of the Yuan Dynasty was a lower fate than that of beggars. Of course, he did not regard Genghis Khan as a Chinese. It was the glory of Outer Mongolia, which brought back civilization to China. As the lowest-class people, the Han people were also the slaughter of tens of millions of Han people.

For such a person, why forcefully put gold on his face?

Even for Qiu Chuji, he did not agree with Boss Jin's words. He was not a hero, but on the contrary, he was considered to be half a traitor.

The early Ming Dynasty was better, and the civil and military officials served their own duties. What did those literati and officials do?

The literature and martial arts complement each other. If the general is suppressed to the lowest level, it is like the hexagram of the Book of Changes. Only the masculine energy is seen, but not the feminine energy is seen. At the beginning of the country, it will be effective to correct the chaos and eventually become a kung dragon and regret it.

The Song Dynasty has reached the state of regret in Kanglong!

After changing the topic, he asked: "So why did Chief Sun Shan agree to the request?"

"It is not for the behavior of Mr. Zheng. Although wherever Mr. Zheng passes, he will benefit the people, there will be bloody storms everywhere he goes, and I don't agree with it."

Zheng Lang still smiled. Not only did Zhang Kang and other generals get angry, but he managed Meishan himself last year, and there were many battles. The largest battle was Luocheng Dongman in the north of Meishan. Located west of Dayongsou, Lizhou, a very powerful tribe.

Zheng Lang threw away the olive branch several times, but refused to listen. Instead, he killed an envoy sent by Zheng Lang. Driven by the Dongman of Luocheng, the tribes in the northern Meishan were eager to try.

So Zheng Lang bluntly mobilized the army and used the careful information in advance and the road to the central and northern Meishan Mountains to be built. Suddenly, the entire Luocheng Dongman tribe was captured and several major chiefs were killed. Their people did not move out of the mountain, which might cause trouble and let several other tribes loyal to the Song Dynasty divide up. Several similar cases occurred. They were very fast, all of which were resolved before the arrival of late winter. Otherwise, it would affect Zheng Lang's plan.

Zheng Lang did the right thing to use both kindness and power. Not only did Jinghu South Road, but also the two countries and the vast majority of the governments, but some barbarian invasions have also occurred one after another, allowing Zhao Xun to lead his troops to suppress them. This is an inevitable product in the governance process.

But can it be explained with Sun Zhou's sourness?

Zheng Lang only laughed, but did not explain, and said, "Then why?"

"It is Zheng Xianggong's sincerity and his understanding of the Master."

"So that's it." Zheng Lang said at the end, "My theory is to use both kindness and power. Benefit is the main and power is the auxiliary. I want to avoid all kinds of bad barbarian invasions in Jinghu South Road. One way to transform two governance, turn it into barbarians and Han, and treat them as a family. Including education. Governance is to improve their lives. This education is to leave it to the mountain chief."

After saying that, boarded the boat.

At this time, you can see a future prosperity on Jinghu South Road. From west of the Xiang River, slash-and-burn cultivation began to decrease, and advanced farming methods appeared on a large scale. Zheng Lang vigorously promoted the cultivation of winter wheat. Winter wheat was transplanted in Jinghu South, but no one promoted it, so there were not many people planted. It was not until Zheng Lang came that it was officially planted.

April is coming, and it is the summer harvest season. The two sides of the Hunan River are filled with joy of harvest.

When Zheng Lang left, countless people walked out of the fields and sent them to each other. If the real reason was abandoned, Zheng Lang would only serve as the transfer commander of Jingdong Road this time, which would be too aggrieved.

Fengchen returned to the capital in a simple manner, but he was not the most popular one.

Bao Zheng is the one who is most popular.

Bao Zheng served as the prefect of Kaifeng, without Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Wang Chao, Ma Han, and Mr. Gongsun, Nanxia Zhan Zhao and Zheng Lang were also gossiped. He deliberately sent someone to ask, but none of them. As for the three archers, there is no need to ask. But he did several major things as the prefect of Kaifeng.

The first one is to withdraw from the House Label Division. If the common people want to sue, they must go through the House Label Division to submit the case. One House Label Division blocked many people. Once the House Label Division was withdrawn, the people could directly hand over the case to the hands of the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture and would never be blackmailed by minor officials again.

With this incident, the people of Kaifeng City have cheered.

The second thing is that the spring water began to rise again this year. Bao Zheng was also worried about the flood last year and had flooded many parts of the Nancheng. So Bao Zheng carefully investigated that last year's flooding was inevitable, but the rain this year was far less severe than last year, so we have to see where the problem lies.

Then I saw a source of the problem.

There are more and more wealthy families in the capital, and not only have to be large, but also have to pay attention to a good scenery. Therefore, some high-ranking officials and nobles built many luxury houses with the help of the Huimin River and built a large number of water gardens with the benefits of the river.

These houses were beautifully built, but they blocked the Huimin River. When the water was heavy, the water flowed smoothly, resulting in flooding. Last year, the city had a large area of ​​flooding, and these houses and private gardens also made an indelible contribution.

Bao Zheng took the yamen runners as the demolition office and began to demolish these houses and gardens on a large scale, forcibly demolished them.
To be continued...
