Zheng Lang is not evil to the rebels, but there is a reason why he wants to fight but not to be harmonious. Even if he is harmonious, it is like a soap opera.

It's the court!

Perhaps these gentlemen have good intentions and kind intentions, wanting the country to be richer and stronger, but their methods are too violent. Cai Xiang advised that the ruling ministers were not allowed to meet guests without false personal gain. For example, Zheng Lang met Fan Zhongyan and Xiwen, which was not good, and some problems occurred in the law of exemption from service. These cannot be said in the court, which will make people worry and make people use it. But in this way, it will not be allowed to meet that time. Unless the two are on duty at the same time, avoiding the minor officials and discussing quietly. If they are not in the same department, there will be no chance to speak again.

Or Zheng Lang investigated the shortcomings of the imperial guards in the capital and wanted to meet some guests, but it was not convenient to meet in the Secretariat, so he had to meet at home, but after the decree was issued, he did not have such rights.

In fact, the prime minister sometimes meets the wise men of all directions in private, for example, Pei Dukai. In order to use military service in Yuanhe, he meets some knowledgeable people, consult with the strategies of the time, and make reference for his own decisions, and make up for the missing. The effect is beneficial and disadvantageous, but the overall benefit is far greater than the disadvantages. Otherwise, the prime minister can only rely on local documents to work behind closed doors and imagine the state's government affairs out of thin air, and cannot listen to the real remarks of all directions with his own ears.

Zhao Zhen hesitated.

Cai Xiang wrote a letter again and again, but Zhao Zhen did not expect the consequences for a while, so he approved the edict.

It was mainly targeted by Lu Yijian. He was afraid that Lu Yijian would retire at home due to illness, so he also used his influence to worry about the new policy. The consequence was that Lu Yijian did not affect him, but instead affected himself. It was this edict that made the gentlemen not meet and discuss in private, and could not agree on his opinions, and then shot himself in the foot.

It also caused great trouble to Zheng Lang, and there was also Tian. Zheng Lang persuaded Lu Yijian to cooperate, and Lu Yijian also agreed, but after the edict was issued, although Lu Yijian retired, the ministers did not retire, and either met with some irrelevant ministers, and they could not cooperate.

The gentlemen don’t care. They have to put shackles on Lu Yijian and limit him to death.

It was Ouyang Xiu's turn to appear again. Ren Zhongshi consciously withdrew from the court. Lu Yijian's power was deprived step by step. Jia Changchao was so scared that he dared not speak out. Yan Shu was also Fu Bi's father-in-law. Du Yan and Zhang Dexiangsula did not hate the gentlemen. Zheng Lang's attitude was ambiguous and seemed not very evil... But he did not tilt his sword and looked at him at a loss. Too many people had to wait for him to deal with it. Over the years, Lu Yijian has inserted countless ministers into the court. These people must not let go. They have to bathe the entire Song Dynasty, whiten the Song Dynasty, and become a gentleman.

Come one by one, stare at someone else first. Li Shu.

Under his attack, Zhao Zhen had no choice but to let Hanlin student Wu Yuzhi Kaifeng Prefecture. Li Shu was a Hanlin student. He did not handle the government affairs of the capital, so he could draft some edicts for me.

Ouyang Xiu reported another report that Shupeng was attached to Yijian, and the number of three corpses and five ghosts is that the court should use this person today. If a scholar of articles is a scholar, it would be enough to get one or two people. If there are no scholars at all, you can write an edict in plain language yourself, which can also show the beauty of ancient style. Since ancient times, there are people with literary but no knowledge. There are no wise rulers, such as Xu Xuan and Hu Dan. Shu lived in Kaifeng, which is only a mansion, but now in the court, which is a harm to the world. Your Majesty, you want to make the righteous man do things with peace of mind. Demote this person.

Zhao Zhen had no choice but to issue an edict to let Li Shu in charge of Shouzhou, but for some reason, he did not do it.

Ouyang Xiu also said that when he heard that His Majesty had expelled Li Shu from Shouzhou, everyone encouraged him to celebrate the virtues of the Holy Spirit, because Li Shu had been in and out of the court for 20 or 30 years, he was in danger and evil, and harmed many people. Once he saw the lord going to the left, he would be happy to dance and thunder. However, the Secretariat took care of each other and refused to implement it, which was disappointing. When I asked the two governments to report the matter, I issued an imperial edict, and directly gave one county, so that everyone in the world knew that this evil and evil person was removed by Your Majesty to demonstrate the virtue of wiseness.

Not only are they evil and insidious, but they even come out. It should be noted that the word "filth" is generally shameful for scholars and officials to say it, but they are no less than the names of some genitals in spoken language in later generations.

Li Shu made Ouyang Xiusan bombard him so hard that he didn't even dare to speak loudly.

Zheng Lang's memorial arrived in the capital, Ouyang Xiu wrote another letter. After the defeat of the army, the thief king Lun, he wrote letters repeatedly, fearing that there were more and more thieves, so he asked the court to be prepared for it. It was not that the one who spoke alone, but there were many people who spoke before and after, but the court did not implement it. The ministers did not plan. As expected, thieves were scattered recently. The robbers were robbed and burned in the west of the capital, and several barbarian thieves were reported in Guiyang, Kui, Xia, Jing, and Hu. There were hundreds of barbarian thieves in Jiezhou. More than ten thieves were caught in the spring of Jiezhou, and Huazhou

I also heard that more than 30 powerful thieves burned and robbed shamans and suppressed them. Xuzhou also heard that thirty or forty thieves robbed Shenjian Town. Jingdong has not rained since autumn, and wheat seeds cannot be planted until now. After the thieves in Jianghuai, they have been hungry and locusts. Shaanxi has plagued and drought, and the roads are in exile, and it is like this. In the future, the thieves will surely arise. If those who are present have not been destroyed, there will be more people who continue to come. Today, the number of soldiers in the world has emerged, and the soldiers are presented to the lower level, and the celestial phenomena are reported to the upper level. But the court assumes that this is not the case.

The actual situation is only half correct.

As various measures were implemented, there were still rebels or robbers. After all, the officials of various prefectures and counties had big or small abilities, and some were not done well. The people were forced to do evil and were still doing evil. However, the situation of thieves was declining, and the states in the west of the capital gradually subsided. As for the barbarians who were planning chaos in Kuijing and others, even when peace was at peace, they would be in chaos and resumption, which had little to do with the current situation.

But the drought is indeed very serious.

Then he said that the laws of the Han Dynasty, whenever thieves arose, people are exiled, and astronomy disasters are different, they will blame the three dukes, either punish them or exil to express their release to the world. Your Majesty is so merciful, and the ministers avoid heavy responsibilities, but they are unwilling to punish the ministers, so the officials are negligent and weak. If they do not plan early, they may be difficult to regret. There are only four things to control the thieves. One is to set up troops in the prefectures, and the other is to select and arrest the thieves. The third is to understand the method of reward and punishment, and the fourth is to remove redundant officials, use good officials to provide for the exhausted people, so that they do not want to be thieves.

As for Zhang Hai's affairs, killing officials and robbing the warehouse, and planning a rebellion, although the people have led the surrender, the state-owned system will be severely punished and not neglected.

Others can be let go, but some leaders cannot be let go and must be killed. This is what Ouyang Xiu thinks.

Zhang Dexiang thought it could not be punished. After all, Zheng Lang promised that although there were some bad things, Zheng Lang had an order to do things cheaply, and later asked the court to ask the court to do things in accordance with the rules. Moreover, if all the battle continued, it would be better if all of them were arrested. If they could not be arrested, the more than 3,000 people fled in scattered. Even if the main force was destroyed, the small troops would continue to harm all directions. Every battle would cost a lot of money, the consumption of weapons, the pension of the dead and wounded soldiers, and the rewards of soldiers who were rewarded with military merits. It would be a good idea to not fight or plead.

Zhao Zhen thinks it is reasonable.

Suddenly, Jia Changchao remained silent and spoke: "Your Majesty, the world is based on governance and benevolence. Although Zhang Hai did many evil deeds and was also imprisoned in the military camp, Zheng Lang went on an expedition on behalf of the emperor, not only wiped out bandits, but also performed the way of becoming a king for the emperor. I think it was done well."

It's very useful!!!

Therefore, Zheng Lang was worried that Ouyang Xiu was practicing the Legalist arts during this period, and officials were punished and thieves were punished. It was fine if he was alone, but there was no big problem. But at this critical moment, nothing could be explained clearly.

Ouyang Xiu made two consecutive memorials, the first one saying that the country is in decline today. Public and private difficulties are all caused by the excessive number of officials. The court should choose a censor to recruit elderly, sick, stolen, and unkind people to eliminate them. Once the redundant soldiers are removed, the people's statutes will be reduced by nine. Since the rise of the army, the public and private disadvantages will not only be intensive, but all are caused by officials as traitors. Every year, the corruption and cruel officials will be used to kill the people first, and the old and misunderstood people will be punished by the people. The court will get one point, and the traitors will get ten times the traitors, and the people will be trapped. This is the harm.

This article is well said by Ouyang Xiu. Although the solution he said was empty talk, it was actually an unsolvable problem. No matter how high salary and integrity were raised in the Song Dynasty or the cool laws and punishments of the Ming Dynasty, it could not be solved. But it is proposed. Everyone thinks about a solution and will reduce its harm.

Second, people with no talent are more harmful than stolen officials. All stolen officials are mostly cunning people who take wealth or less than poor or weak. People with no talent cannot control their subordinates. Even if they do not take their subordinates, they can punish and exploit them together, and there will be no rich or poor, and they will suffer from them.

Who says corrupt officials do not extort poor people? On the contrary, the more corrupt officials are, the more they will extort poor people. There is nothing else. Poor people are weak forces and are easy to knock.

The three inner and outer parts are integrated. Although the court has good orders, it has failed to achieve the original intention of the court and will harm the people.

If the officials are removed from the four redundant officials, the officials will be simple and the orders will be smooth. Today, there are fixed numbers of officials, but there are no fixed numbers of people who enter the government. If there is no method of promotion and demotion, there will be many pros and cons, and there will be no way to send them out. If there is a position left empty and everyone will compete for them, the winner will be without shame, and those who cannot get the winner will be complained and sighed. Now, choose the four redundant officials to get rid of them, and then the missing person will have no resentment.

Five, if the redundant officials are removed, the people with high talent can be persuaded and feared. How can all the officials in the world be unlucky? This is because the court has no promotion and demotion, and there is no distinction between good and evil. If the country asks for governance in reality and everyone is good and good, the people with high talent will force themselves and dare not follow it. Even if they are greedy and cruel, they must restrain their hands.

Six people will be given redundant officials, and only over a month later, the people will be given gifts. I have seen each misunderstanding official who has gone away, and every capable official will be given instead. Only a few days later, the people will have songs. If all the extravagant officials are given, and only after a month, the people will be given gifts.

This memorial seems very good, and it directly points to current problems.

But it was this memorial that caused Zheng Lang's balance to collapse again.

How to identify the four-color officials is not mentioned, Ouyang Xiu wants the court to rotate all the gentlemen from top to bottom, and he makes a principled mistake.

This memorial made a lot of mistakes. How did the other party’s ministers think of it? Secondly, the main disadvantage of redundant officials is not only the poor political affairs, but the redundant fees incurred. These redundant fees waste national finances and put heavy pressure on the people. The solution is to reduce, not replace them. Third, the bad officials are not caused by redundant officials, and it is not so easy to solve them. Even if Ouyang Xiu thought, it would be impossible to achieve national results in just a month. He made a big mistake.

The main reason is not these three mistakes, but like Fan Zhongyan’s new policy, he dared to say it out and implemented the national reforms, but he did not have the courage to say the final means and punish sanctions!

Sanctions!!!

The original text of this memorial is very long, but it is not said.

I didn’t have the courage to say that I should use the law to deal with it. What the law should deal with is the minor officials and ordinary people who have no background!

Or make a simple metaphor, come to wipe out Zhang Hai, first, do not send scouts to inquire about Zhang Hai's situation, second, do not lead a strong enough army, and only bring a thousand scattered soldiers and bravely come to suppress the bandits, what will happen?

Not only Ouyang Xiu, but also the entire Qingli New Deal, have similar mistakes, and have taken on the burden of the country. Even if you sneeze on it, it will cause storms to many people below. But if you have the courage to do such a big heart transplant, you dare not dig out the necrotic heart, open your chest, and then stand where to look. Zhao Zhen asked, "You guys, what's going on?" It's going on, Your Majesty. I asked again, "I've left my body to you, and you can dig it, why didn't it move?" I'll be fine now, Your Majesty, wait for another minute. After a while, Zhao Zhen asked again, it seems that dozens of minutes have passed, why hasn't it moved yet. He said impatiently, "Are you a doctor or I a doctor?" Lie down obediently and obediently and follow our command and mobilization."

But after a few hours, I was still discussing it. I didn’t even say anything about removing the necrotic heart. How did Zhao Zhen think about it? I’m making a big hole for you. I’m afraid. I won’t have a transplant. I have to change it and sew my chest back to seek peace.

The second memorial was about Zheng Lang, which gave some face, saying that Zhang Hai subverted the country, killed officials, robbed the warehouse, gathered bandits to cause trouble, and could not tolerate the traitors, otherwise the gangsters in the world would imitate and cause greater harm.

The memorial was made before, and Yu Jing made another comment later, and he also said similar things.

Jia Changchao distinguished, and Ouyang Xiu immediately pointed the finger at Jia Changchao and wrote an impeachment memorial, which scared Jia Changchao so much that he dared not speak out.

Zhao Zhen had no choice but to send someone to ask Zheng Lang.

Zheng Lang sighed. As he expected, killing Zhang Hai and breaking his trust in the world, it doesn't matter. He is not the only one who breaks his trust in the people. Moreover, the state's administration has not reached that point. Even if the rebels resist stubbornly, they will be extinguished sooner or later. The membership fee will be carried out. As long as they are detained among the injunction, they will be dispersed one by one and arranged properly, they will not be missed. That is as serious as Ouyang Xiu said.

There is nothing more to the dispute than this, one is Han Qi and the other is party struggle.

If you don’t take sides, people on both sides will feel uncomfortable!~!
