After receiving another forged letter, Zeng Gongliang had no intention of staying there. The 20,000 taels of silver latched from Youzhou were sent. Before leaving, Zheng Lang brought a lot of money and silk. Zhao Zhen heard that he would stay for a long time, so he allocated 20,000 taels of silver from the treasury to let Zeng Gongliang take it to the Khitan for Zheng Lang to use it, so that the soldiers could feel at ease, or collect and buy relevant personnel, or other purposes. Unexpectedly, the Khitan used isolation methods, and the edict did not say that most of the Khitans would not give this batch of silver to Zheng Lang.

But it doesn't matter. As long as Zheng Lang goes back, the account can be settled slowly.

Kou Zhun once said that the southerners could not be used, right or wrong. The southerners are wise and changeable, not as loyal as the northerners. For example, Qin Hui and Cai Jing are southerners. But it is still Zheng Lang's words that it is difficult for people to distinguish between loyalty and treason, and it depends on how the monarchs use it. Lu Yijian is used in the hands of Zhao Zhen, although he is a villain, he is a loyal minister. Cai Jing is a supporter of Wang Anshi, and is used in the hands of Song Huizong, but he is a treason. Therefore, this wise and changeable, and if used well, he is a capable minister.

Compared with the ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty, the ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty also had a distinctive characteristic, which was more enterprising. It was not that the southerners were more enterprising than the northerners, but a matter of interests. The northerners did not form a family of the Tang Dynasty, and they could form family members, who were the ones who gained interests, and they were seeking peace, conservative, unchanging, and harmonious in order to consolidate interests. However, the southerners did not form a group of interest income, so they dared to reform. This was a strange phenomenon in the party struggles of the Northern Song Dynasty later. New parties had more southern ministers and old parties had more northern ministers. If the form was reversed, the southerners would also do bad things. For example, when the Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty were prevalent, the southerners deliberately hid Japanese pirates. Because the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban and the smuggling of Japanese pirates was beneficial to all the powerful people along the coast.

Zeng Gongliang is from the south, and he is also a keen reformer.

Zhao Zhen had Zhao Zhen’s intention, and he had few soulmates, and no one listened to him. As Zeng Gongliang, he did not understand Zhao Zhen in many places. The Khitan was defeated by Xixia. The Song Dynasty defeated Xixia. Why did the Song Dynasty still have to begged and asked the Prime Minister to come to the Khitan to be humiliated?

He couldn't figure it out and looked at the cart of silver with depression. In order to grab the time, he came early and the silver came late, which was okay. Zeng Gongliang was very angry and shameful at this time. He handed the silver to the Khitans, and after Zheng Lang returned, he settled the accounts together, left the Khitan with anger, and returned to the Song Dynasty.

When he arrived in the capital, he presented the secret report to Zhao Zhen. After Zhao Zhen finished reading it, Zeng Gongliang said, "Your Majesty, I think our dynasty is too weak."

What has it become?

Zhao Zhen was not angry and said softly: "Zeng Qing, there is still Xixia."

It was these words that made Zeng Gongliang silent. Before the Western Xia was resolved, it was impossible to use force against the Khitan.

Then all kinds of rumors came one after another.

First, there is a story about shooting a tiger. It does not tell that Yelu Hongji was frightened by the tiger and could not stand up. Instead, Yelu Hongji fought with the guards to fight the tiger. Finally, Zheng Lang suggested that Yelu Hongji let his sword kill the tiger, and he was famous for the King of Liang. He also said that Yelu Hongji cut off the tiger's head and presented it to Emperor Xingzong of Liao. He also said that he would take the King of Liang to see the sufferings of the people. This was to educate the Khitan to educate a crown prince who was both civil and military, benevolent and filial. The news came to Song Dynasty and was in an uproar.

Zhao Zhen also heard it in the palace, and knew it was fake, but his heart was mixed. Although it was fake, it was a teaching. He originally wanted Zheng Lang to teach his son, but none of his three sons lived a big life. If he had a son, what kind of crown prince would he teach in Zheng Lang? It might be the true crown prince who is both kind and kind, both civil and military.

Then it was reported that Zheng Lang participated in the Khitan Provincial Examination and Palace Examination, and personally gave the test questions for the Khitan. He heard that Zheng Lang was the chief examiner and the Khitan area gathered many scholars, which became the largest imperial examination since the founding of the Khitan country.

It was then rumored that Zheng Lang had taken four beautiful and unparalleled concubines in the Khitan, and the two concubines were also direct women from the Liu family and the Ma family of Youzhou.

Almost the entire Song Dynasty was talking about it.

If Zhang Hai hadn't taken the risk of meeting Zheng Lang and brought Zheng Lang's secret memorial to Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen might have been shaken under this huge rumor.

But Jia Changchao did not participate this time.

He was well-informed and knew that Zeng Gongliang brought back Zheng Lang's secret report. After all, Zheng Lang took the risk to the Khitan for the sake of the Zhao family's country and the Zhao princess was not insulted and wronged. If he did too much, the emperor would be unhappy and his career would be in danger. But it does not mean that he would not take action, but that was waiting for the best opportunity.

The guess is very accurate.

Zheng Lang hopes that he will continue to take action the most. Zhao Zhen is a very nostalgic person, including his teachers, such as Xia Shun and Jia Changchao. This person became the prime minister after Lu Fan and became famous, which will be a big obstacle for his future. As long as Jia Changchao continues to take action, the more times Zhao Zhen will be disgusted, and the more disgusted he is more than nostalgic, and Jia Changchao will end.

However, some people don't think so.

Wu Yu continued to maintain some habits of gentlemen, and hated evil as if he had heard these rumors, he still thought that Jia Changchao was doing it. Under this psychological influence, he finally broke out and the conflicts with Jia Changchao in the court became more and more frequent.

The inspector Tang Xun wanted to please Jia Changchao, so he submitted a memorial to report to the virtuous, upright, and outspoken and exhorted, and was very generous in subjects.

In order to recruit talents, the Song Dynasty also gave some talented scholars and scholars who had many talented people but failed the exam many times. This was the virtuous and upright subjects who were not allowed to pass the imperial examinations, and spoke frankly about the subjects of Maocaiyi. For example, Fu Bi entered the official career through Maocaiyi and other subjects, and Hu Yuan, Sun Fu and others.

Tang Xun Jinshu said that these three subjects were involved in the Tang Dynasty and were not often arranged. Only when there were major disasters and major mistakes in the sky and serious government mistakes were made, one or two were placed. This dynasty used the old system, and Zhenzong established three subjects, and Your Majesty established six subjects, allowing the two governments and Shaoqings to submit the memorials and examine the people. Then it was upgraded again, allowing the two subjects and Maocai to surpass the Jinshi. In recent years, there was no need to maintain the official position, but to look at the subjects he had taken, especially the virtuous, upright, Maocai, etc., which were beautiful. It has never been seen since ancient times. However, in the actual examination, only a few regulations were used in classics and history, and a little annotation was made. It can only be said that he could remember the Bobo and the function words were widely spoken, but he could not see the advice of the auxiliary state and Chen Zhidao. It was such a mistake in employing people. Once the edict was issued, there were more than 30 people. If he couldn't figure it out, he would be able to show his official position together in less than a few years. This is a disadvantage.

But how did it do it in the past? Using the story of the Han Dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, the ministers were ordered to select virtuous and upright people, and speak out loudly and speak out loudly. In the fifth year of Yuanfeng, the prefectures and counties were inspected by Mao Caiyi, and in the fifty-four years, they only won the virtuous and beautiful people in one go. It was not until the fifth year of Xiaozhao that they were selected again. In the third year of Xiaoxuan Dijie, they were selected to select virtuous and beautiful people in the fourth year of Yuankang. In the twenty-five years, they were selected to select virtuous and beautiful people in one go. Therefore, it is appropriate to be the story of the Han Dynasty. They personally plan the important matters of the world and dismiss the secret pavilion.

If you look at Zheng Lang, it doesn’t matter. If you use some knowledgeable Confucian scholars, these Confucian scholars may not be able to be able to stop. As for Fu Bi, it is an exception.

But this memorial caused a series of consequences.

The main reason is that Tang Xun made this memorial with selfishness.

Originally, Wu Yu was in Hanlin and recommended Tang Xun as the censor. Before Tang Xun arrived, his mother died and returned home. When Wu Yu was a political affairs officer, he heard that Tang Xun had a relative with Jia Changchao, so he said to Jia Changchao without hesitation. Tang Xun was dismissed as the censor according to the rules.

According to the Song Dynasty system, Wu Yu did not do anything wrong. What does the censor do, and he specifically provoked the accusations of ministers, especially the prime minister. As the prime minister, does it work for you to be the censor? Jia Changchao had no choice but to use Tang Xun as the governor of Luzhou. However, Jia Changchao used a small trick and said to Zhang Fangping: "Tang Xun dismissed the censor because it was Wu Yu."

After saying that, he left.

Zhang Fangping was not Jia Changchao's opponent, and he was very disgusted with Wu Yu. After hearing this, he kept it in his heart. Jia Changchao used the second strategy. According to the system, those who released the officials resigned. Jia Changchao used some methods to make Tang Xun an exception and let him join the match. Zhang Fangping then said: "Tang Xun is beautiful in material, so it is better to leave a message."

At that time, Zeng Gongliang had not left the capital. He usually had a good relationship with Tang Xun, so he secretly made some good things. The two recommended him, and Zhao Zhenen was right.

Wu Yu was a little stunned, and Zhao Zhen did not agree.

Therefore, Tang Xun held a grudge against Wu Yu and attached himself to Jia Changchao.

In fact, it is really strange that these contradictions arise.

As for it?

This advice was very meaningful, because after Wu Yu passed the Jinshi class, he was the author of the book, and then he was selected as a master and a good deed. Therefore, Yigui was appointed as the General Judge of Suzhou. Since then, his career has risen sharply and he has served as the chief political affairs at the age of 40. Therefore, the water in the court is too deep and most people really cannot stand it.

After hearing this, Wu Yu was very angry and gave an admonition. The prosperity of scholars in the past three dynasties was better than that of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Emperor Wen of Han selected virtuous people and gained Chao Cuo. How could there be disasters in this good year? Emperor Wu ordered virtuous people, including Dong Zhongshu and Gongsun Hong. What disasters were wrong? Tang Xianhe gave virtuous words and advice, and got Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi. Why did the disasters have been completed? After the disasters have been completed, the emperor issued an edict to proclaim them? This is the reason why the later kings have not created them. Is it enough? Your Majesty has been restored for several years and has a moderate number of notes. If there are three things to be claimed after the disasters have been completed, one is to make wise men in the world wait for disasters and advance, not to raise integrity and shame. The second is not to be promoted, and the second is not to be prepared for the situation, but to ask for fear of natural disasters. The third is to change the signal order, and to show that there is no desire for thirsty scholars in the world, and not to broaden the wise path. Please submit the ministers to the two systems for details.

After reading Wu Yu's memorial, Zhao Zhen agreed with Wu Yu's words, but did not apply to the two systems and approved the memorial.

Tang Xun was not willing to rest, and secretly reported that Wu Yu's younger brother and sister had been widowed for a long time, so Wu Yu refused to let him remarry, so he used this to attach to Li Zunxu. Li Zunxu was the sixth-generation ancestor of Jigong and the son-in-law of the dynasty. The Li family was also one of the wealthy families of the Song Dynasty. It seemed reasonable. When marrying someone else, Wu Yu's relationship with Li Zunxu's family was broken. The truth was that at this time, Wu Yu's younger brother and sister had six more children. Her husband died, and the child became a burden. She was afraid of harming the child. In addition, she was influenced by her brother and entered Buddhism. She might not have a strong physical condition, so she didn't want to get married.

After Zhao Zhen saw it, he sent someone to investigate it. After learning the truth, he was amused and laughed. What was Tang Xun doing? It was a mess. However, he was a censor, and the censor could be impeached and did not make any noise.

However, when Wu Yu heard it again, he advised: "When evil is harmful, we should clearly distinguish it. If the ministers say something secret, they want to return to the group, or report to make plans to achieve the beauty of the country. Such a person can be published in China and abroad, and be disciplined in the world, and abolished the public. They can be clearly stated. How can he be criticized by the evil and report it without authorization? This is a traitor, and it is not a saint to observe. If the evil is used to harm the country, what should he do? I am willing to use his name to impeach the country and use it to impose the law."

My sister-in-law cannot get married, what can I do?

It cannot be said explicitly. So the spearhead is directed at Tang Xun and snugly Jia Changchao.

Zhang Fangping was very dissatisfied when he heard this. What did Tang Xun say? Compared to your nonsense, what could Tang Xun be like? After all, he was still the person I recommended and my subordinate, and he was also angry.

The conflicts between the three parties accumulated and finally broke out in August.

Knowing that Yongjing Army Xiang Shou was the son of Xiang Minzhong, the former name, who had a good family and a good background, he did something bad during his tenure and did some bad things. He thought that the magistrate Jiang Zhongli wanted to report him, so he falsely accused him of crime and then forced him to commit suicide. Jiang Zhongli's family heard that Wu Yu was honest and dared to speak out, so they fled to the capital to complain to Wu Yu. Wu Yu died on the shou.

After hearing this, Xiang Shou's family asked Jia Changchao for help. So Jia Changchao said at the court meeting: "Xiang Minzhong made many contributions to the late emperor in the past. Xiang Shou was Xiang Min's son, so he can be judged as an example."

Wu Yu said: "Xiang Shou committed such a serious crime, not killing it is not enough to explain it to the people of the world."

Perhaps Wu Yu repeatedly provoked his dignity, and Jia Changchao became popular, and the two started arguing at the court meeting.

This dispute is far better than Wang Zenghuo's fight against Lu Yijian. Zheng Lang suppressed Ouyang Xiu's two court struggles. Zhao Zhen was so angry that he shook his sleeves and said, "Sanqiu."

After the scattered court, Zhao Zhen called Zhang Fangping, and the final judge of the unjust case was the emperor, but it was impossible for the emperor to preside over the case. In the end, the presidency was still the Supervisory Office. Zhao Zhen asked Zhang Fangping how to make a judgment, and Zhang Fangping was also very disgusted with Xiang Shou's approach. However, Wu Yu wanted to kill Xiang Shou, and Zhang Fangping made the point and said: "Xiang Minzhong made great contributions to the court, and the court also had the allusion that he did not kill the literati and officials, but the impact of this case was extremely evil, so he could save him from his death and sentence him seriously."

Zhang Fangping's statement was quite convinced by Zhao Zhen.

Then Jia Changchao didn't know that Zhang Fangping had resentment with Wu Yu, so he asked someone to ask Zhang Fangping to help him. Zhang Fangping said angrily: "What do you mean by this to me!"

I can't stand the gentlemen, and I can't stand the various actions of you.

Zhao Zhen's judgment was that Xiang Shou was reduced to death, but he was demoted to Lingnan and never hired, so he was sentenced very seriously. However, Wu Yu and Jia Changchao's dispute this time had a very bad influence. Zhao Zhen repeatedly signaled that Wu Yu would not give up, saying: "What I have identified is my duty. If it is wrong, I would like to dismiss the position of my minister."

Not jailing Xiang Shou to death means that Wu Yu was wrong. Wu Yu, the deputy envoy of the Privy Councillor, was appointed as the deputy envoy of the Privy Councillor, and Pang Ji exchanged it with him. However, Pang Ji's daughter married Song Xiang's son and had just gotten married. Song Xiang repeatedly wrote letters. Both of us are relatives, and it is not good for us to work with the Eastern Palace, so we changed Ding Du to the deputy chief political officer. Pang Ji was so angry that he almost vomited blood. But it was not him who vomited blood, but Zhang Fangping.

The same deputy prime minister, the deputy prime minister of the East Prefecture, was a good match, but the deputy prime minister of the West Prefecture had great real power. Wu Yu was demoted.

People outside said that Zhang Fangping was following Jia Changchao. Some people didn't understand it halfway, but they knew some of the inside stories, but they didn't know much. They said that Zhang Fangping was ungrateful and that the reason why he was able to rise to power was all due to Zheng Lang's credit. Although he knew that Zheng Lang had a grudge with Jia Changchao, Zheng Lang's life and death in the Khitan was unknown, so he immediately turned against him and defected to Jia Changchao, so he was ashamed of it.

But after this chaotic battle, Jia Changchao's position in Zhao Zhen's heart had plummeted. He was very smart. Although he was obsessed with whether Zheng Lang could come back, he still didn't dare to move.

Almost both losses!

A person is secretly having fun.

Wang Gongchen never participated, and the three sides fought back and forth. He was happy to see it. He took the opportunity to write to the book. The Taizu was the Taizu, the Taizu was 120,000, the Taizong was 180,000, and the Zhangsheng was 400,000 (the statement was inappropriate, it was only the lowest number of the imperial guards of each generation, but it was not the only one). Now it is twice as many soldiers. The soldiers were in the essence but not the crowd, and they were sitting in a scattered meal. Although the three officials used major financial plans, the facts were outside, so they asked the general officials of the Taoist responsibilities and asked them to take responsibility.

The first two envoys of the Three Sessions did a good job. Ouyang Xiu said that Yao Zhongsun was not good, but justice was in the hearts of the people. How difficult was it to maintain the national finances under such difficult circumstances? Wang Yaochen became envoys of the Three Sessions, and the country's economy began to improve. Wang Gongchen also wanted to do better. Because of the chaos in the management of grain and grass, it caused a lot of waste. Therefore, this advice was made, allowing all walks of life, such as Xia Su, Daming Prefecture, Zheng Jian, the governor of Bingzhou, and Cheng Lin, the governor of Yongxing Army, and the governor of grain and grass, which could save unnecessary waste.

Accepted.

In fact, this is an anti-Song Dynasty's so-called ancestral family law practice. This move is centralized dictatorship, and the political path is smoother, and the blocking of waste will inevitably be reduced. However, the Song Dynasty's system was overwhelmed and decentralized, and then divided, resulting in redundant policies, which will inevitably lead to waste.

Wang Gongchen was concerned about finance. The more money the treasury accumulated, the greater his political achievements. As for Zheng Lang, he did not want to frame him or rescue him, and he was neutral.

At this moment, a message was released from the Khitan, which was released by Xiao Nojin. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
