Chapter 158: Playing the piano (Part 1)

"It seems that I heard you say it's not difficult."

"That's what I said. It's really not difficult to say it's difficult, it's really difficult."

"Yan Du knows, bring a pen," shouted the little emperor. He felt that Zheng Lang's words were very important today, so he asked Yan Wen to use the pen to write down the answers to the emperor and his ministers just now. At this time, he thought of it, but Zheng Lang was too young and soon after, he forgot about it again.

Zheng Lang was helpless in this regard. There were too many things that made him helpless in this era.

Originally, he didn't want to say anything, but the little emperor admitted his mistake in his first words, and felt moved again in his heart, so he said it. As for whether the little emperor listened or not, what qualifications did he have? After Yan Wenying wrote down the words just one by one, Zheng Lang said: "Your Majesty, outsiders say that I have no teacher to know Ouyang Tuan..."

The little emperor was amused. He had also heard about this. Zheng Lang's various remarks on Confucianism caused great controversy, but he did not expect that Ouyang Xiu would play harder. Someone asked curiously, who was a great Confucian scholar from Ouyang Xiu. The result was that he had studied at home like Zheng Lang since childhood, and learned good knowledge by himself, and he learned without a teacher. It would be fine if one is not the same as two... How can this make the world a teacher feel?

Many people are starting to get into trouble, whether their children should hire teachers.

Actually, Ouyang Xiu is called a strange nature. Zheng Lang is purely cheating. Speaking of teachers, Zheng Lang doesn’t know how many teachers there are, but none of them can see them. But with this cheating device, it may not be possible to achieve great things. His diligence and his calm and patient personality have caused the real reason why he gradually stood out.

There is no need to explain, and no one believes that he is a monster after saying it. Instead, he thinks he is a monster. It is better not to say it, and say: "But why did I and Ouyang Tuan tell Feng Xiushuzhong the articles I wrote or the ideas I thought? No, or I and Ouyang Tuan are a little clever, but now I am too young, and I am not as good as Feng Xiushuzhong's achievements in the specific details of the classics and the subtle meanings. Your Majesty, I have such knowledge and the same is true for governing the country. Your Majesty is very kind. A few days ago, I went to the Kaifeng Prefecture Prison and two maids at home were worried. I said that I had nothing to do, and Your Majesty was kind. But Your Majesty was finally younger, and I was not talented enough, and I had insufficient age and experience."

This is the benefit of talking to the little emperor. You can say anything. Even if you say it wrong, even if you kill his queen for no reason, he can cut off his beard and make a medicine introduction for you.

Alas, Zheng Lang's eyes softened again, this tragic little emperor.

"At present, I think Your Majesty cannot grasp the rules, but someone can master them. For example, ministers who can tolerate and do great things, such as Lu Xianggong, Wang Xianggong, etc., those who know how to manage, let them serve as officials of the Three Divisions, such as lacking a view of the overall situation, but ministers with solar terms will be allowed to serve as officials of the Western Prefecture, such as those who understand military affairs, let them serve as officials of the Western Prefecture. If one or two generals who can conquer and fight in the Western Prefecture and give advice, it will be even better. With these ministers mastering this rules for Your Majesty, as long as your Majesty establishes his own morality, sets an example for the people of the world, and reconciles the relationship between various ministers, a prosperous Song Dynasty will come."

"That is, use good talents?"

"It is precisely because you put all talents in the most appropriate position, listen to advice that you should listen to, control your own desires, and the layers of supervision left by your ancestors, that Your Majesty can be a good emperor."

“It seems difficult…”

"But it is better than your Majesty to do things yourself. I ask, is Your Majesty proficient in administration, military, civil, education, agriculture, industry and commerce, and criminal cases?"

Zhao Zhen could not answer.

But doing these things alone is not enough for the Song Dynasty at present. Zhao Kuangyin had already been overcorrected, and Zhao Kuangyi, who lacked both talent and military, corrected it again. The Song Dynasty's policies have gradually deviated from the normal track. Not only are military weak, but redundant officials and soldiers, and the redundant government are becoming more and more serious. This is the three redundant of the Song Dynasty. It is not redundant, but the one that appears in the three redundant will be redundant. If the Song Dynasty develops, it must be reformed, but when it comes to reform, Zheng Lang dared not think about it.

"When it comes to the supervision system, I suddenly remembered what happened a few days ago, or that Tianchen did a bad job, but invisibly helped His Majesty."

“What’s the busy thing?”

"Although Your Majesty has passed the year of winning the championship, he is still younger. In recent years, the King of Yan has a high prestige among the people and noble blood. Your Majesty is not the Empress Dowager. Your in charge of power is the blessing of the ministers and the people, but his power and ambition are lacking..." He did not continue.

You know, little emperor, you are much younger than your eighth uncle. Besides, the time he jumped out that day was very wrong. Although you recognized your mother, you were born as a palace maid and your bloodline is not much nobler than the eight kings. Everything can happen. Sometimes it is not what you think about, just like your ancestors. Someone put the imperial robe on you, and if you want to be an emperor, you have to fight obediently.

That won't be, but Zheng Lang had to say this.

He deliberately talked with Cheng Lin a little along the way, but Cheng Lin didn't remember that he was originally Liu E's person. Although he betrayed the old lady for the sake of his future, he always felt guilty. He was also dissatisfied with Zhao Yuanyan's slander. So he said with a smile that the little emperor gave the Liu family daughter.

Very funny, isn't it?

At the moment, almost all ministers thought it was funny, but Zheng Lang stood at the height of history and did not think it was funny at all. This was also one of the manifestations of the little emperor's "benevolence", which turned swords into jade. Later, the little emperor was still very favored by the eight kings, and even the eight kings coughed, and several prime ministers were a little worried and afraid.

The little emperor is good to him, but how does his relationship with him compare?

He simply pushed him a little more. Anyway, he was very dissatisfied with seeing the Eight Kings that day, so he just wanted to seek justice for the old lady in disguise.

If you don’t talk much, the little emperor is not stupid. If you understand it carefully, you will feel a little afraid. Then the Eight Kings, you should be your Prince of Taiping obediently.

"No..." But the little emperor was already suspicious. The old lady had occupied the power for ten years and almost asked him to take away the power in the morning. How could he not feel sad?

"Your Majesty is a gentleman. Because he is a gentleman, he often treats others with a gentleman's heart. Even if he uses some small means, those means... For example, last year, Yan Du knew, don't remember the following words. Forgive me for a bold statement. Last year, I can't see the fire that the world can't see, and even I guessed seven or eight points, but the empress dowager is kind..."

"Can't say it!" The little emperor stood up in shock.

"I have only said this to one person, that is Your Majesty. However, many people have guessed it, but they do not think Your Majesty is not good. Instead, they think Your Majesty is simple and even uses one method to make you cute..."

"Can't say it!"

But when Yan Wenying heard the word "cute" and actually laughed aside.

"Hey, your Majesty, you cannot regard people's hearts as your heart. If that is the case, the world will be greatly governed. Therefore, I said a few years ago that even if you say that you should not be nourished, you should not be able to bring peace to the world forever. It is precisely because people are unpredictable, and the gentleman's style is too few, like Your Majesty."

The little emperor's face was a little slapped, not knowing whether Zheng Lang praised him or demoted him. But I heard that you cannot be confident. It is a good thing to be careful of one thing. Your methods are far from being as clever as you imagined. I can see all these methods, and the unfathomable Eight Emperor's Uncle. Be careful. It is a "loyal and kind" word. I sighed and said, "You are also a gentleman, and I will remember your words."

Zheng Lang felt embarrassed. Although both the old lady and the little emperor were wrong in this matter, if they did not protect the Eight Kings, even if they came to the door to admit one of the mistakes and made the matter public, there was a public opinion supervision. In the future, the Eight Kings would not attack him. Why should I fight against the famous Eight Kings?

However, the honest little emperor was used by him and felt ashamed.

But the Eight Kings finally fell into the puddle.

The two young men were each thinking and were silent for a while. Zheng Langcai said again: "Your Majesty, I will say something more, Cao Mengde said, how much life is? It's like the morning dew, the days of the past are more painful. Life is unsatisfactory. Under the rule of several late emperors, our court is the best country in internal governance. But look at many places, some parents actually strangled their own sons because of their poor family."

There were really many in the Song Dynasty. There was no way, there was little land and many children raised, so I couldn't afford it. I had to do this and it could not be a reason to attack the Song Dynasty. This phenomenon occurred in almost every dynasty and continued to family planning, but it was also a disguised forced stifle. One was strangled after birth, and the other was strangled before birth. They were each other.

It's not the key, but the following is what the key is to say: "Although something happened that will make Your Majesty unhappy, but thinking about them, even their own children are killed, that would be so painful. If the two empress dowagers knew about their great power, Empress Dowager Li saw that His Majesty finally took charge of the great power and became the real king of the people of the Song Dynasty, Empress Dowager Liu saw that His Majesty learned about his life experience and still treated her family well, and I believe they would be very happy. Compared with every regime change in previous dynasties, all kinds of tragic things happened, even if there were a little flaw, it would be a happy ending."

If the old lady really harmed Concubine Li Chen, the little emperor would be angry at that time and would send Liu Mei and her family to Lingnan. The anger would be dissipated and her biological mother would also get a reputation. Then the little emperor would feel better.

The biological mother is very unfair throughout her life, but when faced with the old lady's various actions, he cannot get angry, so he feels even more depressed.

Outsiders couldn't see it. Even when the two empress dowagers were buried in September, the young emperor personally performed a ritual for the old lady's coffin (the rope that leads the coffin) and pulled it out of the Huangyi Hall. Then he ran to Hongfu Courtyard and hid on the coffin of his biological mother and cried bitterly. What can he repay for his hard work for life!

But this matter was still a hidden pain in his heart, so Sun Yan later wrote an amnesty article for Empress Dowager Li. After reading it, Zhao Zhen actually called him and asked, "Why can you tell me what's happening in my heart?"

Sun Yan replied: "I was also born to the concubine."

The same fate as you, so I can understand your feelings. After hearing this, Zhao Zhen secretly shed tears and took out many treasures from the palace to reward them. At that time, more than ten years have passed!

Therefore, Zheng Lang kindly explained it.

"You need to say nothing, I know it in my heart." But my tone was very reluctant, and I no longer had the calm demeanor that I had just heard the advice.

Zheng Lang sighed again in his heart. He was just a disciple. He was able to see this little emperor by chance and could still speak. For this reason, how could he persuade him? So he said, "Your Majesty, let me play a piano song for you."
