Shortly after Wang Shao returned to Shaanxi, he only brought a few personal guards in the name of the case. Since ancient times, Weicheng rushed to the southwest, which is the source of the Wei River, Yu Longke's base camp, and Yu Longke met with Yu Longke. Zhong Shiheng had done similar things, Fan Zhongyan and Zheng Lang also did it. The nature is different. Zheng Lang has many guards, only Zhong Shiheng has the least guards, but that was in China. Yu Longke's place is in Weiyuan (the area at the source of the Wei River on the west side of the West Weicheng is called Weiyuan), and it has not yet been ruled by the Song Dynasty. Although the two sides sent envoys to each other in advance, Wang Shao was forced to go there in person, which shows that the previous talks were not very smooth, and in fact they took great risks.

If you compare it with characters like the Han and Tang dynasties, such as Guo Xue met Wuzhile at night, but he did not do a good job. It was very cold at night, and the snow was deep and the wind was frozen. Wuzhile would be unable to defeat the cold and die in pain. His son Soge planned to attack the enemy. The deputy envoy Jie Wan advised Yuan Zhen to escape at night. Yuan Zhen refused to listen. He would enter the captain's account tomorrow and cry very sadly. Soge felt his righteousness and would be in harmony with Yuan Zhen again.

Or like Huo Qubing, King Hunxie and King Xiu Tu surrendered to the Han Dynasty and civil strife occurred by the Yellow River. Huo Qubing only brought a few soldiers across the Yellow River, allowing the two kings to quell the rebellion and bring 50,000 Huns to Chang'an.

These are heroic deeds that shine through the ages.

But in the Song Dynasty there were no heroes.

Even Zheng Lang dared not make a name for Wang Shao. Maybe it was not for him to help Wang Shao, but for harming Wang Shao.

When Yu Longke heard that Wang Shao had come in person, he was surprised and could only meet him. Wang Shao was just telling him to succeed or fail. The two met and were more happy. On that day, Yu Longke stayed with Wang Shao and entered the bed safely. Yu Longke then put down his worries and sent the rich chief to Qinzhou to observe. Then he took the initiative to lead his 120,000 people to the people. This was only his subordinates, and he influenced more French and Qiang people. He also wrote to him: "I have heard that Bao Zhongcheng was a loyal minister of the court and begged to give him the surname Bao."

The one who has the greatest influence in the northwest is not Bao Zheng, one is Fan Zhongyan and the other is Zheng Lang.

However, the scope of Fan Zhongyan's activities was in Yanzhou and Qingzhou. Zheng Lang had the greatest influence on Weiyuan. Whether it was the comfort of the British people on Jingyuan Road or the cancellation of the ban on the union of marriage between the Fan and Han dynasties, Yu Longke also wanted to give the surname Zheng at first, but Wang Shao felt intuition. He persuaded him politely, and Yu Longke changed his request to give the surname Bao. Because Bao Zheng had come to Shaanxi and was often good at politics as a transshipment envoy. His influence was second only to Fan Zheng.

Zhao Xu was as requested by him, and unlike the blind lieutenant, he had no right to garrison, no management, and no hostages entered. He was called "Gui'an", but he was actually just an ally. Yu Longke's subordinate not only allowed the chiefs to go east to Qinzhou, but also allowed the imperial court to open a passage and go to Weiyuan. He also gave up some of the management and garrison rights. It was still in a custody nature, but at least the control intensity was much higher than that of the custody states in the southern desert. So he gave it the name Baoshun.

If you don’t know Wang Shao’s plan, you won’t know the meaning of Yu Longke’s inner thoughts.

As August comes, the water level of the Yellow River is still huge. Tian Yu is about to burst the dike for the second time to release floods. The scholars and officials are still controversial and do not pay much attention.

Zhao Xu knew.

Wang Shao was able to obtain Yu Longke not only Wang Shao's achievements, but also Wang Anshi's efforts to protect him. The reason why Wang Anshi strongly advocated Wang Shao's argument was another person. His son Wang Yun was a long time ago, when Wang Yun was thirteen years old, when he got soldiers from Qinzhou to talk about the Taohe incident, he sighed to Wang Anshi: "This is a pleading, and if Xia gets it, the enemy will be strong and the border will be in trouble."

This sentence still vividly made Wang Anshi remember it. Later, the Western Xia forces went south, and Zheng Lang's idea, so he could resist the opposition from the court officials and strive to support Wang Shao. After Wang Anshi came to power, Wang Yun often gave advice on his father, but because he was the ruling son, he was avoiding something and was difficult to be elected. Wang Yun said to Wang Anshi: "Although the ruling son is unpredictable, he can handle it."

Wang Anshi built momentum for him and carved and sold the articles he wrote to the market. Deng Wan and Zeng Bu strongly recommended him in front of Zhao Xu. Zhao Xu summoned him to meet and negotiate, and appointed Wang Rong as the prince Zhongyun and the storyteller in Chongzheng Palace.

Zheng Lang also paid attention to Wang Rong.

History calls him a man who is tough and slandered and has no scruples, so that must have been passed.

But his political views may be because of his young age and radicalism. He is Wang Anshi's only son. Zheng Lang is balanced with the mean and tries to make Sima Guang go a little faster, while Wang Anshi goes a little slower, but Wang Yun pulls his father to trot in front.

There is no blame for Wang Rong. When you are young, you are often impulsive.

Fu Bi, Cai Xiang and Ouyang Xiu both walked along the way. However, later generations tried their best to destroy it. But Wang Yun did have something wrong. He was very popular. This is a nice saying, but a bad saying is arrogant. The court has always wanted to give up his orders and is unwilling to be a small official. Now that he has become an imperial teacher, he has barely come out.

He was very talented and had great skills in his mouth. Zheng Lang could only draw a draw with him. Including Zheng Lang deliberately letting him practice with big and big Su, both big and big Su felt a headache. After taking office, he was full of passion and made more than 30 strategies, and discussed the world's affairs. He also wrote tens of thousands of words "The Biography of Laozi" and "The Meaning of the Buddha's Book".

Because he was drunk in political and economics, he had never seen his poems in his life, so some people were ashamed that he could not write poems and lyrics. In the face of doubts, he wrote a poem "Furious Looking for the Fragrance". The dew was drying towards the dawn, the curtain was light, and the wind was light, and the courtyard was idle. The green path was coming, and the red embroidery was covered with red embroidery. Leaning on the dangerous railings, climbing the pavilion, the crabapple was covered with rain and rouge. As for the youth, I passed by again. During the Qingming Festival, I was tired of swimming in swallows, the scenery was full of beauty, and the good times, who joined hands together? I was sadly drunk by the elm seeds, and my eyebrows were frowning. I remember that after the people of Gaoyang dispersed, the fallen flowers and flowing water were still the same. This feeling became thinner to the east wind.

People at that time lamented their skills, and the lyrics were widely circulated after they were released.

The gossip about Wang Yun also has his wife Pang Shi, not Pang Ji's daughter, but the daughter of the Pang family in the same county, who is very beautiful. Soon after, he gave birth to a son for Wang Yun, and was unhappy and wanted to kill the child. The couple often quarreled. Later, after Wang Yun gave birth to a gangrene, in order to avoid affecting his son's health, Wang Anshi ordered Pang Shi to live alone in a small building. Wang Yun thought of his wife's benefits and wrote the second poem in his life, "The Eyes", the willows are soft, and the smoke is weaving into sorrow. Before the begonia rains, the pear blossoms snow first, and half of the spring is gone. Now the past is difficult to reflect on, and the dream is around Qin Building. Lovesickness is only on the lilac branches and the tops of cardamom.

Although this poem is not as neat as the previous one, it is a real good poem because it has emotions.

That is, the genius child Wang Rong is actually a mortal. He has his talent and young people's problems. He cannot infinitely amplify his advantages and put them on the altar. He cannot amplify his shortcomings. He stepped in the mud pit and even led his side to the side, saying that Wang Yunyang was "weary" and Wang Anshi took off the dust.

Whether Ouyang Xiu and Zhu Xi have it? I really don’t know, because they are more romantic by nature, how could Wang Anshi be able to be together? They have to be more responsible than themselves. If you want to take off the ashes, why don’t you take a concubine? With Wang Anshi’s status, you can also want to take a concubine who is more beautiful than Mrs. Fan Zhongyanru’s wife.

It was because of this gangrene that Zheng Lang was entangled.

Otherwise, letting him go out like Su Dongpo would not only be good to Wang Anshi, but also to Wang Rong himself.

For example, Su Dongpo was transferred to Hangzhou as the prefect for his merits, and there was a flood in the southeast. He wrote to the Secretariat, asking the court to levy taxes. After reading the Secretariat, several ministers laughed and handed the memorial to Zheng Lang. Zheng Lang personally reviewed it. Hangzhou is the second largest city in the country, and how to reduce the tax center. If Hangzhou wants to reduce the exemption, other states will request reduction and exemption together. What should we do if the national income is?

Su Dongpo replied again, saying that the exemption would be slightly reduced, otherwise the people would be in trouble.

Zheng Lang criticized again again, why is it that the slightly reduced exemption? On the positive side, there are disadvantages, and there are advantages. Is there no way to resolve the small flood disaster in Hangzhou?

Su Dongpo was speechless after seeing this, and was not in the mood to be romantic. He took the prostitute to wander around and thought about good plans. In the end, he couldn't think of a solution and directly resisted. I had no choice but to pay the tax. Please demote me to Huangzhou again. By the end of the year, Zheng Lang really demoted Su Dongpo to Huangzhou.

In history, Wang Anshi had a trivial crisis, and Zheng Lang had a trivial crisis, and Su Dongpo was also a trivial crisis.

It has nothing to do with suppression, it is training.

Su Dongpo didn't know what was wrong. After arriving in Huangzhou, he was disappointed and finally nostalgic about the ancients of the Red Cliffs, Nian Jiaogu and other masterpieces appeared one by one. It was slightly different, but his literary attainments were almost the same. However, Zheng Lang did not write many literary masterpieces for him, but let Su Dongpo understand some truths. Even this time, seeing that Su Dongpo was unchanged, Zheng Lang did not extend his hand to help. But Su Dongpo a few years later was no longer Su Dongpo in history.

Do you dare to Wang Rong?

Zheng Lang dared not let him be sent to the point of training, for fear of something going on.

When he was put in the court, he watched him talk loudly, Zheng Lang couldn't stand it. Moreover, Wang Rong was very arrogant, and another endorsement of arrogance was that he was a little sensible. Because of his relationship with Wang Anshi, it was even hard to say. This was Zheng Lang's headache and regret. After all, he was a talented person with good knowledge and lofty ambitions. Now he was arrogant because he lacked training. Once he got a little older and had more social experience and experience, he might as well become a true famous minister, or even a master of classics. But in this era, the endorsement of gangrene was similar to that of later cancer in later generations, and Wang Rong got gangrene was different from Tang Jie, Di Qing, Wang Shao and others. Wang Rong had never been to the south and had not suffered from heat poison, so he didn't know what the cause of the disease.

This is Zheng Lang’s view of Wang Rong.

A Wang Rong could not stop him from taking the Song Dynasty forward.

There are still several major things to be done now, not Hehuang, but finance.

Yu Longke surrendered, and the opening of Hehuang officially kicked off. He asked for money. There was a locust plague soon in the Song Dynasty. When harvesting next summer, a large amount of food must be prepared, which requires even more money and silk.

However, the imperial court has not had a Nanjiao Festival for several years. Yu Longke surrendered and the imperial court must hold a Nanjiao Festival. It is not a real Nanjiao Festival, but a Mingtang Festival. The cost should be saved a little, but the cost will not be small. The bank supervision department has to prepare more than 60 million yuan in principal, and the fiscal revenue this year will inevitably decline, and one money will make Zheng Lang breathless.

In September, the Mingtang Festival began. First, the Mingtang sacrifice was in Wende Hall, and the Jingling Palace was in Taimiao. The eight rooms were celebrated, and then the Wende Hall was in the Grand Gathering Hall. The Mingtang was a family of important officials such as Jiedushi. There was no one to eat or pay, and the materials were hired. Those who had no descendants had recorded their younger brothers and nephews. At the same time, the internal and external officials had different orders. Even the Zhe family, the city of Luowu City, Zhe Jizu was the pioneer, went deep into the burning clan tent, surrendered to more than 800 households in the tribe, obtained thousands of cattle and sheep, and when they were in the army, they recorded their son's affairs in the prefecture, and asked his cousin Zhe Kerou to follow him, but they moved his three sons to one Zi and two grandsons to a third rank. It was not until this time that the Zhe family gradually recognized it by the Song Dynasty.

The scholar-officials were so happy, but it meant that they would increase their expenses every year in the future.

The world owed more than one million stones of grain and more than one hundred thousand pieces of money, and the people cheered. The money was from sixth households and was not able to repay the taxes of the court. On the other hand, the court was desperately tightening its pockets to repay the debt and overdraft. The imperial edict issued a very popular saying.

But this Mingtang Festival expenses have invisibly reached 12 million yuan.

It is quite affordable, if it is a real suburb festival, the cost is even higher.

Xixia begs for He and Que Suizhou.

After the Western Xia Dynasty obtained Luowu City, it continued to sway the border, and the Song Dynasty might have used deception to make the soldiers on the border of the Song Dynasty feel relaxed. If they failed, Zhao Xu issued an edict to surround the states. There was no need to send anyone to answer. If the Westerners arrived again, they ordered them to go to Shunning Village and report to the north of the army according to the rules.

The Liang family had no choice but to send ambassador Aniwei to famous Kerong. Deputy envoy Lu Ning and Jiao Wengui from Yanzhou to pay tribute, and beg for the Song Dynasty to return to Suizhou. The letter of the country was the Han man who surrendered to Xixia. Today, the scholar of Xixia, Jing Xun, was quite good at reading the border, and he was very kind. He was close to the border, and he was rude and kind, and he wanted to win the evil spirit and kill the people. He showed his wish to calm the people. He was happy, and the sea was cheering, and he was deeply moved by his sincerity. He was respectful to His Majesty, His Majesty, who was deeply immersed in the holy thoughts and observed the border feelings. He was very concerned about the work of holding a halberd and sympathized with him.

The suffering is that I can climb the mat without any harm to the peace of life; I can also see the compassion of the heavenly heart. Moreover, the clans of Suizhou have lived for a long time, and they are all in love with the private interests of the land and have deep anger. They are ultimately the foundation of their struggle. I beg for orders and give them a reward to transfer them early, and I will be able to inherit the title of the successor and always respect the virtue of strictness. The people who stand by the pilgrimage are turned into people who hold the pilgrimage. I will suddenly sank the battlefield and be clear about the beacon. I am only naive and dare to join the first one! I am willing to continue the contract. I will be treasured, but I will not be afraid of over-the-sand; I will fall in love with the sun, and I will be firm in reporting my duties.

It was the high sacrificial ceremony that Wen Yanbo and Han Qi both recalled the capital to participate.

Seeing the letter of the Western Xia Kingdom and a dispute broke out, Wen Yanbo proposed to report to the people of Xixia and return it to Suizhou in exchange for peace between the two countries.

Han Qi stopped talking.

Zheng Lang said: "Kuanfu, why did Xixia dare to seize Luo Wu?"

"Luowunai is an important gateway to Xixia and has to be seized."

"Kuanfu only knows one thing, not the other. After several battles in Xixia, he saw our army almost fleeing. The reason why he dared to send a large army to rob Luowu City was that the Khitan promised and sent 300,000 troops to help him, and the Liang family had the confidence to gather the army again."

"That would not cause the country to start a war, otherwise the Qingli story would be staged."

"Kuanfu, you know the second, but you don't know the third, the Jurchens in the northeast of the Khitan have repeatedly rebelled and have no time to care for others. Moreover, the Khitan master likes hunting Buddhist affairs, loves slanderous ministers, and has a grudge against the previous ones. How could he send 300,000 troops to help the Western Xia? Not to mention now, when the former Liao Xingzong was trying to destroy the Western Xia Kingdom, how many troops were led? 300,000 Khitan troops, is it easy?"

Only Liang was a lunatic who used 300,000 troops to attack Qingzhou.

But there are reasons for the Liang family's crazy madness. The 300,000 troops have not been used for a long time, and the Xixia is behind the belly, and the distance is not far. How much material has to be used to transfer 300,000 troops from the Khitan to Suizhou in Nanhetao? This is impossible.

"The reason why the Khitan made this promise was nothing more than the thought of our dynasty, and that the Song and Xia countries were both defeated. Liang believed it, but he had not seen the Khitan army arrive for a long time. Although he had recaptured Luowu City, how did he seize it? Often, with more than ten times the strength of the troops, our dynasty's fortresses were not repaired, so he took it back one by one. Let's see Yanda leading his army to retreat from Luowu City. You don't know that the mountain road more than 100 miles was rugged and difficult to move, and he had to cover the baggage. Tens of thousands of troops in the Western Xia attacked many times. Within a few days, Yanda lost only some baggage, but no casualties were killed or killed. Compared with the strength of Songxia, the Khitan had no soldiers to support. Isn't Liang sad?"

In fact, when Luowucheng fights, he loses because he is too greedy.

But he was defeated and lost, but he was even more exciting. In the end, he did not get Luowu City, but he had the power of the Song Dynasty. Although Funing Luowu was defeated again, he obtained Xifutu Village, which was later changed to Kerong Village, becoming the gateway between Dalihe and Suizhou City. It was difficult for the Xixia people to send their troops under Suizhou City. The surrendered Qiang people in the Dalihe area were able to truly live and work in peace. In the north, they also obtained deserted and Sanquan and other villages, and still formed a cross-border attack on Xia and Yin Prefectures.

The gain is far greater than the loss.

Zheng Lang analyzed the formalities one by one. In the court, he knew the best about military affairs, and there was another person who knew better. Zhang Feng, but letting Zheng Lang be transferred to Jinghu North Road to raise a prison sentence, he would quickly become a real scholar-official. If he was a scholar-official, he would have a lot of autonomy in commanding soldiers. If he was a military official, he would have more constraints.

Everyone was speechless.

Wen Yanbo also said: "When the country is in financial difficulties, Wang Shao used money and silk to surrender the foreigners in the northwest, and the foreigners have always been at the two ends. It may not be beneficial to obtain the court, and it also spends a lot of money and silk. The old ministers thought it was inappropriate."

This time, Wang Shao didn't need to be said, Zheng Langdai replied: "Wang Shao's operating Taohe River costs money for the market and Yifu. Although the court gave it the principal, the principal has not been used."

Here, Zheng Lang deliberately highlighted an official book instead of answering proudly like Wang Shao. I took care of the Taohe incident and used the money to reward the Qiang people to surrender, but never spent the official book. I said the official book, but no one paid attention to this sentence at all, so I could only pay attention to the previous sentence. It was said from Zheng Lang. It was different from Wang Shao's voluntary statement.

Wen Yanbo said: "When craftsmen built houses, they always said the budget was very low, and lured the house to take the initiative. When they were built halfway, various requirements were put forward. At that time, they had to build them. The cost would inevitably increase. Now Wang Shao's various achievements are nothing more than that."

Zhao Xu's color changed.

Zheng Lang talked about this interest all day long, such as controlling people, the emperor's mind, and the technique of power and conspiracy. He wanted Zhao Xu to become a small version of Zhao Zhen. Wen Yanbo guessed it with his heart. It was very vicious. Now that he was surrendered, the market will be enough to buy money and land. Once the war broke out, the court would definitely support him. Wen Yanbo said, if the court supports him in the future, Wang Shao would become those hateful builders and craftsmen. If he did not support him, Wang Shao might be defeated. If he was unbeaten, he could say another thing, why should Wang Shao seize the military, political, financial and financial power? Isn't it the second An Lushan?

"If the house is broken, how can it not be built?"

Wang Anshi said: "If the master is good at planning, he has his own standards. How can he be deceived by craftsmen?"

After adding more to the snake, Zhao Xu was a little dissatisfied and said, "Wang Qing and Guo Kui don't want the court to open the border Hehuang."

Wen Yanbo originally asked Zhao Xu to stuff his mouth, but when he heard that his spirit came back, he said, "Xifan is fragile and not enough to recover."

Wang Anshi said: "Xingluojie and other foreign tribes invaded Qinzhou many times, but Qinzhou could not be arrested. Moreover, the heroes have established grammars to establish grammars and connect the parties and embrace them together, how can they say they are fragile?"

"Westerns cannot establish grammar."

"It is already effective to establish a grammar by the leader of the Mazhenshan Zongge tribe, defeated by Cao Wei) and it is not so. If it is collected by the Xia people, it will be a big problem."

"Xifan will not return to Xia Kingdom."

"Yulezanghamu (the leader of the Western Envoy City, Wang Shao tempted Xiang Bao to attack, but was dissatisfied and turned against Xixia) turned to Xixia. Because he did not want to return, Xiang Bao went to him and immediately turned against him. The court has repeatedly promoted the pacification of the people, but he refused to support him. Why is that?"

"Even if it is attached, what benefits will it be for the court?"

"As Hamu returns to Xia Kingdom, Hamu land becomes a place of life, and we cannot go deep into the treasure to disturb the people of Xia. However, the Western Xia belongs to me, and the people of Xia cannot speak without any benefit or harm. At least they will not assist the Western Xia invading our dynasty."

"Even if the internal subordinates are in a hurry, they may need Chinese rescue, otherwise it will become Mu Zheng's betrayal."
To be continued...
