"Why do you need to participate?" Zheng Lang asked back.

Cui Xian smiled pursedly, and Zhao Zongshi walked out of the front desk, which shocked her, but then heard all kinds of things and meditated on the hardships of Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu. Cui Xian felt very funny. In the case of Di Qing, her husband did not need to participate. He just gave Di Qing a posthumous title and a posthumous gift to the prince. Can Di Qing come back alive from the coffin?

But what Zheng Lang said below made Cui Xian feel anxious again.

Zheng Lang said: "Hang'er, prepare the pen and ink for me."

Zheng Hang brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Zheng Lang wrote a private message to Di Liang.

The letter was still very gentle and asked Di Liang to take the initiative to write his resignation, resign from the prince's posthumous title and posthumously awarded Wu Zhong, and his words should be sincere. There was also a Zhongshu Ling, which retained that did not have much hindering the Di family.

Choi Xian looked at the Xin and said, "Do it well."

"It's not good. If the Di family is as good as the emperor's wish, and has received the posthumous title of Wu Zhong and the prince, then the Di family will never have a day to rise from now on."

Even if Di Qing dies, he will not be able to settle down.

"Yes, when you are a human being, you must learn to be tolerant and tolerant."

"The Di family is the one who is involved, but I want to participate."

"Official..."

"It's not for Di Qing, but for thousands of soldiers who are loyal to the country and fight bloodily in front of them." After Zheng Lang said that, he put the letter into a letter bag and sent his subordinates to the capital in advance.

The Di family may not listen to other people's words, but Zheng Lang had to listen to them, so Di Liang wrote a letter to express his words.

Ouyang Xiu advised that since the Di family was not accepted, the emperor, please listen to the words of the scholars and officials. Posthumously posthumously Wu Su and gave him the title of Zhongshu Ling, which was said to Di Qing. In this province, the prince was gone again. Zhao Zhen was even more displeased and said, "The court has often refused to accept official positions. The court must issue three, four, and five edicts before accepting them. If this is the case, can the court not granting the title because the court does not accept one edict?"

Ouyang Xiu could not tell, but this was easy to deal with. He came to Di Qing's house in person, not Bao Zheng, a military general's family. The backbone was dead. What's the point of fear? He told Di Liang directly that you did a good job in the speech, but the previous one was not good, so you had to connect three and four words. Just like the emperor's heir Zhao Zongshi did.

Di Liang dared not offend this boss, so he made the second statement again.

Di Qing's coffin also came to the capital at this time.

However, because the posthumous title is not yet decided, it is impossible to be buried. It is not even easy to be buried. Now the scholars and officials are competing for posthumous titles, and then there is a case of being awarded the title of the prince. After success, they have to fight for a burial case. It's too early.

Zhao Zhen has a kind intention, which can lead to a living Di Qing not being able to live, and a dead Di Qing not being able to live.

Zheng Lang came to Di's mansion and stayed in front of Di Qing's coffin for a long time.

Di Qing was promoted by Fan Yong. During the process of taking office, there were many contributions from Fan Zhongyan, Yin Zhu and Pang Ji. However, when Zheng Lang met Di Qing, he was only a deputy general, and played the greatest role in Di Qing's rise. When he met Di Qing, he was only a brave general and was a little immature. Zheng Lang watched Di Qing grow up step by step. Di Qing's death also had a great blow to Zheng Lang.

Upon hearing the news, many ministers arrived.

One is Zheng Lang's attitude towards Di Qing's posthumous title, and the other is a lot of affairs.

This year, Huainan has less work than last year. Including Jingdong Road, the Yellow River has officially started, starting from Sanmenxia and all the way to the Ji River entering the sea. The people of Jiangdong and Zhejiang were not disturbed this time, but Huainan, Beijing and the two rivers were all alarmed, and even a small number of laborers were sent from Shaanxi Road.

At the peak of the number of civilians, it still reached more than 2.4 million.

The project was progressing quickly, but the money was still used like the water of the Yellow River. The court had divided Zhao Zongshi's mind. Zheng Lang returned to Beijing and came to ask.

Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang, Zhang Sheng, Ouyang Xiu and other important officials all arrived at the Di family one after another.

Sima Guang and Wang Anshi also came to Di's house.

Zheng Lang didn't say anything and sat there. Some of these ministers had lower positions than Zheng Lang, while others had ghosts in their hearts, so they did not dare to worry. In terms of qualifications, there was only one person in the court at this time, and Han Qi and Pang Ji also came, but he could no longer be considered the prime minister.

Others need to have qualifications and no qualifications, and many people need to have political achievements. Many people are older than Zheng Lang, but in front of Zheng Lang, they are only considered to be a late or younger generation.

Zheng Lang finally raised his head and gave a light salute to everyone.

In terms of humility in attitude, no one can come from Zheng Lang and Fu Bi.

Then he came to Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, and the two admitted their mistakes honestly: "Mr. Zheng, we are wrong."

Zhao Zongshi is so 25 years old, Sima Guang is very regretful at this time.

"I won't mention right or wrong. Jie Fu, you have a tough personality, and Jun Shi, you have an extreme personality, and you like to go to extremes. In terms of talent, qualifications and abilities, there are very few people in the Song Dynasty who can surpass you, but this extreme is exactly what I worry about. Therefore, I often let you communicate with each other and stay together to negotiate government affairs, which is to neutralize you. Because extremes will inevitably pay attention to various means to achieve your goals. There are pros and cons, but it is impossible to think that you will become the second Fan Xiwen."

Just publicly commented on the two students in front of everyone.

There is a good side and a bad side. But overall, the good side is better than the bad side. Is it possible that everyone looks like Fan Zhongyan?

The two of them bowed their heads respectfully and said, "We are ashamed of it."

"You don't need to be ashamed, you are seeking truth from facts. Jiefu, you value results, the country and the people, and you can value appearances. For example, seeing changes in the territory of the country and the amount of income, these are all appearances. Although it is important, it will be corrupted quickly. You really value the system, the country's framework, and stability. If you despise the appearance, the core may not be the appearance, but the appearance is the thing that the core focuses on reflecting. In fact, whether it is the appearance, or the more important system and stability period, you have neglected the same thing, the same more hidden, deeper and more important things."

"Please give me advice," the two said more respectfully.

By this time I realized that the teacher not only said it to them, but also to the ministers in the court.

"That is the spirit. For example, the spirit of the literati. As a minister of the country, the literati is actually the king's brain, eyes, nose, ears, hands and feet. The eyes, nose and ears give feedback to Your Majesty what you hear, smell what you see, and give to the prime ministers of the two governments. The ministers of the two governments assist the emperor in making decisions and implementing it with their hands and feet. This is the responsibility and spirit of the literati. However, many people have misunderstandings, believing that being an official is for glory and wealth. Officials have the right to be a literati, but how can they be rich? Even if the priest has a salary of only tens of thousands of yuan per year, the great merchants and families who earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a year are all there. Therefore, even if they are a priest, they are still greedy or use national interests to earn their own pockets. With this idea, how to be a good literati. Xiwen has been away for several years and is still respected by the government and the public. It is the true literati spirit in him."

Everyone kept silent together.

Dare to question the dead Di Qing, but dare to question the dead Fan Zhongyan. Besides, half of the dozens of officials standing on the side were Fan Zhongyan's followers.

"The fish and bear's paws don't have both. If you want money and silk, you can do more money and silk to become a big businessman. If you want power, you cannot ask for money and silk too much, and be safe for Your Majesty and the country to be well-known for your brain, ears, nose, eyes, hands and feet. This is just one of them. The most important spirit is the spirit of the entire country and the whole nation. Our dynasty is tolerate merchants, and the country is the richest in the world. But other aspects are not bad, introverted, cowardly, conservative... Taoism emphasizes that one will increase and the other will rise, and prosperity will be the most important.

Decline. Just like the prosperous era of Kaiyuan, there was Tianbao's destruction of politics and Anshi's rebellion. But this is the method of Taoism to eliminate accumulation, not the true meaning of Confucianism. Confucianism also says that the dragon has regrets, but the Taiji will come. But it is not the Taoist negative dragon has regrets, and the Taiji will come. The flying dragon is in the sky. It is beneficial to see the great master. The Master said that the same sound corresponds to the same sound, the same qi seeks, and the water flows wet. The fire becomes irritable, the clouds follow the dragon, the wind follows the tiger, and the saints make it happen and all things see it. Those who are from the heavens are close to the upper, and those who are from the earth are close to the lower. They all follow their own kind."

"As long as you are warned, please advise the king not to challenge the dignity of heaven and earth, be above the laws of heaven and earth, ignore the people of the country, become a tyrant like Emperor Yang and Qin, follow the people's opinions and the right time of heaven, let the clouds dance with the dragon, let the wind rise with the tiger's roar, let the river flow to the low and wet places, let the fire burn to the dry places, let the person who is rooted in the sky and the person who is rooted in the earth. Everyone has their own place, each serving their own duties, the people love officials, officials are loyal to the monarch, and the monarch works diligently

.Then the world will stay at the level of the flying dragon at the sky, and will not leap above the poor sky, and the dragon will regret it. Or the emperor Yi returns to the sister, and the middle will use his wishes. Only by controlling a fair and neutral heart and doing things with a fair heart can one realize his wishes. Then Tai will not become a city in the god of the god, and his life will be in chaos (the last line of the Tai hexagram, the city wall falls in the moat, and the government orders are inconsistent, so the hexagram evolves into a bad hexagram, which is also the origin of the idiom Taijiuo).

"Although the country is rich, it is only when we reach the level of seeing the dragon in the field. As long as we are careful as the Master said, we can be trustworthy and cautious in our words, and we can still fly dragons in the sky. As for the rest, it is better to say that the dragons are in the field, it is better to say that the dragons are in the abyss. One is reduced and the other is rising, which is the theorem of all things. If the country lacks the heart of a strong man who is self-improvement, it will not be strong. If this is satisfied, the dragon must not be used. If the hidden dragons are strangled in the abyss, our dynasty will be chronically strangled by other countries, or due to the division between the rich and the poor, it will rise up and collapse. This country may be considered enlightened, but is there a strong heart for a strong man who is vigorous and a gentleman who is self-improvement?"

Ouyang Xiudao: "The Master said that the dragon is the most virtuous person. It is the trust of mediocre words, the carefulness of mediocre actions, the sincerestness of being idle and evil, the good world is not attacked, and the virtue is broad and transformed. Therefore, a country cannot be defeated by military force."

"Uncle Yong, because of our weakness, I seized Shenglong City and immediately withdrew my troops back to the country. General Di seized the six states of Xixia and then withdrew my troops back to the country. Where did you see the four words "poor soldiers and deposed martial arts"? One of them has increased, and our weak countries will definitely be strong. Therefore, the growth of dragons must be able to fly out of the abyss, rather than trapped in the abyss. Not talking about economy, it is just military affairs. Can our dynasty reach the 2nd digits? If we don't use troops, we will let the surrounding countries have good worlds and not invade the situation?"

Ouyang Xiu cannot speak.

Zheng Lang and Di Qing advanced and retreated first, making the conservative scholar-officials really impeccable.

"Even if the dragon is in the field, it is still very weak and will be strangled by strong enemies at any time. Only the flying dragon is in the sky, which is a truly prosperous country. If our dynasty wants to achieve this step, it is still far from being able to reach this point. What is the heavenly movement and a gentleman strives for self-improvement? The way of heaven is strong and strong. Regardless of the personal actions of a gentleman, or a country, or a king, you must strive for strength and never stop. This is the only way to conform to the way of heaven." After Zheng Lang finished speaking, he did not pay attention to Ouyang Xiu, and turned to Sima Guang and Wang Anshi again, saying: "No matter how good the illusion is, without good system support, it will not last long. No matter how good the system is, it will eventually be set by people. If the formulater does not maintain a strong heart who strives for self-improvement, the country will not be strong. If the formulater does not maintain a humble heart and is proud and complacent, he will not see his own shortcomings, which will cause yin and yang to lose their balance, and the country will quickly decline. This is the most important thing for the country."

"One of you focuses on the status of framework systems and the other focuses on the size of data income territory. Have you ever considered the spirit?"

"yes."

The two were extremely intelligent and intelligent. If Zheng Lang had not been teaching him all the time, he might have been too extreme and refused to listen. Zheng Lang had been teaching him over the years, and Zheng Lang's thoughts had some subtle effect on them, and he lowered his head again.

Zheng Lang then said another thing: "I am not very opposed to your participation in the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is also very important to the country. But I still have a small reluctance in my heart. Your Majesty has never been very good. However, if you launch the Crown Prince case, what will your Majesty feel? General Di died of illness due to many people's attacks, slander, suppression and attack... "

"Xingzhi, Di Qing was sick for a long time. The court spoke only asked him to transfer back to the capital." Ouyang Xiu couldn't help but say.

"Drive back to the capital? What did Di Qing suffer from the Privy Council? What did Di Qing say before his death?" Zheng Lang shouted.

Di Qing only said two things before his death. The first one brought a message to the emperor, "The emperor is kind to me, I just want to use my roughness to make you foolishly, but I cannot doubt my loyalty. The second one is that I cannot walk on Helan Mountain for Your Majesty.

Zheng Lang asked, and everyone in Di's house was sobbing.

Zheng Lang lowered his voice and said, "Jun Shi, Jie Fu, you have selfish intentions about the crown prince. You want to do your best for me. After getting along with each other for the past two years, you have seen that I am becoming more and more indifferent to power and are afraid that I will fade out of the court. But Your Majesty has great trust in me. How can I repay me as a minister? I can only do something for the country to make the country richer and stronger. Instead of being like now, I am suffering in the abyss, trapped in the Western Xia Khitan, and even a stronger northern nomadic people in the future. I am in charge of the two palaces at the age of thirty, and I have experienced it, and I am not interested in it anymore. Therefore, being indifferent to power does not mean that I will give up state affairs. As long as possible, I will do my best to repay Your Majesty."

Because the Di family was sobbing. Zheng Lang didn't speak loudly, but someone still heard it. He was solemn and respectful.

This is the style of a gentleman and the style of a minister.

"Also, you are worried that someone will restrict the river craftsmanship. Let me ask, who dares to restrict the cost of hundreds of millions of dollars?"

Sima Guang and Wang Anshi lowered their heads again.

This is an objective reason, and the subjective reason is that they want to do things and want to have power, so they participate in the dispute between the crown prince. However, in front of so many people, Zheng Lang is inconvenient to reveal it. When it actually happened, Zheng Lang was also very angry. The two wrote several letters to explain, but Zheng Lang did not reply a letter.

After several months, Zheng Lang's tone calmed down and today's persuasion was achieved.

However, some people looked at Han Qi, and Han Qi was also embarrassed. Zheng Lang pointed at Huai and scolded Sang in front of everyone. He was displeased. But what should I do? In fact, he used this message to threaten Sima Guang at that time. Unexpectedly, this kid was too powerful and he handled this matter well at once.

But Zheng Lang was still unhappy.

The crown prince may not be unfavorable to the country, but it is a serious blow to Zhao Zhen. The establishment of the crown prince also proves that Zhao Zhen is useless. A waste man, in a depressed and depressed mood, can he live long?

However, state affairs are greater than the emperor himself, and Zheng Lang cannot blame him.

So he pointed to Huai and scolded Sangdi and ridiculed Han Qi. First, he pointed out Han Qi, do you dare to make a fuss about river engineering? Second, don’t think you are the prime minister, and you annoy me. Everyone will be defeated again. I don’t care about power, do you care?

Zheng Langruo is really fighting against Han Qi, and he can fight Han Qi. Not only Han Qi, but also Ouyang Xiu and others.

Han Qi was very embarrassed and didn't want Zheng Lang to continue saying this, so he pretended not to hear Zheng Lang's voice, and turned on the topic and asked: "Xingzhi, the Han minister passed away and the posthumous title was disputed for a long time. What should we do if Xingzhi means?"

"The prince has passed, can the prince?"

"However," Han Qi replied readily. Wang Deyong was given the title of Duke when he was alive, and the dead Di Qing. A prince and a duke, the difference between the difference is a world of difference.

But there is still, looking at Zheng Lang with his eyes.

Zheng Langdi stroked the Nanmu coffin with his hand and said slowly: "Your Majesty treats the ministers preferentially, saves money, but rewards the ministers with great rewards. It also brings two loyal ministers. Zhigui, if his heart is pure like snow, there are only three people in the world, one is Fan Xiwen and the other is Di Qing."

"Di Qing went to the battlefield to kill the enemy..."

"Yes, he is killing people like a slaughter, but he is killing enemies and robbers, but is his loyalty to the country and His Majesty as pure as snow?"

Han Qi was speechless.

Di Qing's last last words were not family affairs, but that he could not walk on Helan Mountain for the Emperor! Can he say that he was not loyal to the Emperor?

Zheng Lang said again: "Last year, there was no ice in the capital, and this year there was no ice in winter, so don't say it fell. I remember that there was no snow in the capital in the two years before and after Fan Xiwen's death. Perhaps these two crystal clear snow had passed away, and even God could not bear to fall and freeze."

Don’t you like to lead to the astronomical phenomena?

Zheng Lang simply led to the astronomical phenomena. The warm winter of the past two years brought great convenience to the Hegong, which shortened the winter break and extended the construction time. However, the weather was very abnormal. After the winter in Kaifeng City in the north, even ice could not be built. (The large-scale weather I mentioned in the book are real historical weather, recorded in history)
