Jiang Xing'er suddenly said ignorantly: "Everyone is happy, but who remembers the little lady of the Qin family?"

I am confused and don’t know the seriousness of the matter, so I took it for granted.

"The little lady of the Qin family..." Zheng Lang sighed and said, "Sima Sanlang, Wang Sanlang, Sun Xiaolang, you start studying, I'll go to the palace."

"Go to the palace?" Si'er asked strangely.

"I have a few things to say to Your Majesty. Once the results are released, I will go back to Zhengzhou. With the help of Mr. Lu, I guess I will go to Jiangnan when I come back from Zhengzhou. I will talk about it in advance. My current identity is a student, and it is easy to say as a waiter. If I were an official, there would definitely be many taboos. The little lady of the Qin family is also one of the things I want to say today." Zheng Lang did not stop this because he did not have the ability to stop it, but when he watched, he felt ashamed. Even Jiang Xing'er couldn't stand it, so he just came into the palace and said it out.

"It's better not to say anything about saving the yuan," Sima Guang said.

"Why?" Jiang Xing'er said.

"It has been a long time since I caught my son-in-law on the list. Wang Xianggong did things too rudely, but with other natures and principles, many similar phenomena will occur in each term. This is also a huge force. It doesn't matter if ordinary people say it. The Yuan of Shengyuan is now famous, and every word and action is all over the world. The Yuan of Shengyuan reveals it, I think it is not very good..."

"You, people need rationality, and sometimes they also need emotionality. Knowing that they cannot do nothing but do not do is wisdom, reason, and it is encouraged by the Master. But knowing that they cannot do something that cannot do is also a righteous deed, and it is also encouraged by the Master. The former is wisdom, the latter is courage, and righteousness. People occasionally do things that are pure and irrational in their minds. It seems contradictory. In fact, it is not contradictory. The Master opposes irrational sacrifices, but he has not educated people to be a philistine for the benefit. How to adjust is also the doctrine of the mean." Zheng Lang said.

"Here."

"Brother Song, prepare the car."

Song Bo, who had just returned to Beijing from Zhengzhou, got on the carriage and took Zheng Lang to the palace.

Zhao Zhen was very happy to let him enter the palace and said, "What's the matter to see me so late?"

When Zheng Lang met the little emperor, he was also a little happy, but the identity of the monarch and minister made their friendship invisibly cross a gap. He said slowly: "I originally had something to do to Your Majesty. The incident of the king and the prince was delayed for more than two days."

"This Wang Deyong!" Zhao Zhen cursed again with anger and amused, and said, "You sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Zheng Lang sat down calmly and said slowly: "I occasionally read history books. Li Guang of Han was extremely brave, so why has he never made great achievements?"

"The times are uneven. The fate is difficult; Feng Tang is easy to grow old, but Li Guang is difficult to be granted."

Zhao Zhen used the previous paragraph of "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion" to answer.

"Why did Zhou Yafu and Cheng Bushi achieve both achievement through their merits?"

"Zheng Shengyuan, what do you want to say?"

"King Xiang saw people, he was respectful and kind. When he spoke, he vomited, and he was sick, and he was crying and shared food and drink. Even if he was given a title, he would be a bad person. He could not bear it. This is the so-called kindness of a woman. Xiang Yu was kind-hearted and soft-handed in Hongmen Banquet and did not kill Liu Bang, so he suffered a disaster in Wujiang. Is Xiang Yu soft-hearted? No, he was kind-hearted and soft-handed to people who should not be sympathized with, but he was far from loving the people as much as Liu Bang. Therefore, Liu Bang established three laws in Xianyang, and Xiang Yu was tyrannical in Guanzhong. This made Liu Bang stand out from Bashu and gained Guanzhong, confront the globe and win the victory in the nuke. Li Guang was the same, and he was generous to soldiers and enjoyed the soldiers. However, he could not be unconfused in normal times. Once the war came, he would either win or lose a great victory or delay the military schedule and delay national affairs. Therefore, Xiaoren was a harmful person."

"Save Yuan, you mean..."

"Your Majesty, you issued an edict a few days ago to let all the students who have not passed the exam for many times. Is it because these students have studied hard, from their black hair to their white hair, and they are kind and give them a chance?"

“That’s right.”

"Your Majesty saw them hunched among young students to take the scientific test, and he felt pitiful. Have you ever seen how many people in our territory from the capital to the far-farer and the harsh deprivation of some bad officials, leaving their hometowns, selling their children, and even strangling their children because of hunger and cold? Your Majesty's mercy certainly made these nearly a thousand elderly children get what they want, but once they were in high school, they were seeking officials as officials, but how much burden did the people add to their burdens to pay the salaries of these officials? This example was opened, and many children were given up.

They flocked to each other, and everyone had a thought. It doesn’t matter if the exam was not passed. As long as I gathered the number of scientific examinations several times, I could also become an official in the court. Every scholar came to the capital and asked the court to pay all the fees. Some scholars who originally wanted to plan for other things also put down their affairs and went to Beijing. By the year of scientific examinations, how many scholars would come to Beijing for scientific examinations? 510,000? Where did these expenses come from? Or were they collected from the treasury expenditures from the people. The scholars are your people, and the people are also your people. Please think twice."

The reason for this edict was Li Shuzhi's proposal. He was also a prodigy. When Emperor Zhenzong of Song went to Bozhou on a tour, the poems written by Li Shuxian at the age of twelve, it would be impossible to replace Liu E. Zheng Langqi, a man named Qiwen, and did not give him any official position. However, Emperor Zhenzong of Song was fond of this. When he heard that the twelve-year-old prodigy wrote, the edict ordered the poem to be written well, and he was given a boy's origin, and he was also a Jinshi. However, he was not very good. He said that Lu Yijian had some controversy, which was that Xia Shu was more or less real. Li Shu was useless except for writing good articles, and was extremely intelligent.

When speculating on the thoughts of the boss and the emperor, Zheng Lang sometimes disdains to do it, such as today's advice.

But his advice was not like Kong Daofu and other straight ministers, so the little emperor had to listen to me. He gave advice very reasonable advice and made interesting comments. However, Li Shu ignored these things. This person was a minister who was very good at guessing the ideas of his superiors and His Majesty. Seeing that the little emperor felt sorry for these old scholars, he gave advice ten points, and two points of the tribute.

If Sima Guang was here, he would definitely oppose Zheng Langjin's advice. If it was spread, he would offend countless scholars with this advice.

Zhao Zhen was more likely to accept this.

The main reason was that Zhao Zhen was too young, and Liu E was trained to become an authentic good baby, and her heart was still soft-hearted, so many strange things happened in the early days of his rule. Later, it was polished again and again and became slightly better. However, because of his soft heart, it repeatedly hindered the normal development of the country.

It doesn't mean he is not smart.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I did something wrong, but the edict has been issued."

"No one can establish a person without trust, let alone Your Majesty. Even though the edict is issued, the quota will be interpreted by Your Majesty. After the special title is submitted, another edict will be added. This is a special case of the country. If the scientific examination is not accurate in another year, it will not be accurate."

"This idea is wonderful. Why are you the only one asking?" Zhao Zhen asked in confusion.

"Your Majesty's edict is a blessing to hundreds of thousands of students in the world. It is not too much to admit 500 students in a special title exam, which means that it gives 500 students in the world a chance. Who dares to raise an objection?"

"Yan Du knows, destroy this record today." Zhao Zhen finally understood the reason why all the civil and military officials in the court kept silent. In order to protect Zheng Lang, he issued this order, that is, the conversation tonight made it impossible to pass on the law, and only a few people present knew about it. Then he looked disappointed.

"Your Majesty. Don't be disappointed. It's a normal human nature. Since ancient times, our court has done a good job. But I have to say one thing. One day, in order to please the little lady of the Cui family, I gave up two young maids around me who served the eldest. What do you think of him?"

"Why did it come out?"

"I am just making an analogy, or I valued the little lady of a noble family, and I have little talent and knowledge. Your Majesty is very kind to me. So I resigned from the engagement of the young lady of the Cui family. How do you think of me?"

Zhao Zhen knew what he was going to say, and said, "I was also deceived by Wang De. He tied Cui Quanzhong to the boudoir of the Wang family's little lady, locked him up for a while before he released him. Then he told me that Cui Quanzhong ran to his little lady's boudoir and stayed there for a long time. His innocence was already dirty. I had no choice but to make a promise."

"..." Zheng Lang almost fell down.

"It's okay to leave this matter to you, it's just a marriage contract, and there is no formal negotiation. If the negotiation is formal negotiation, there may be disputes..."

"Your Majesty, it has not been formally discussed. Why didn't the Cui family regret the marriage directly when I was young? Also, when I went to Beijing last winter, I came to the capital. The Cui family interfered too deeply. I was very dissatisfied. Why did I forgive me in the end and not mention it? I mentioned the Cui family Erlang? I despise the poor and love the rich, and I am ashamed of it. I am ashamed of it. Refuse marriages are often among the people. The husband and wife often leave it, and the wife often divorces it. It also depends on the reasons. If the other party is unruly, do evil, lazy, unrighteous, ruthless, bully the superiors and bully the subordinates, etc., they can all be used as reasons for regret or leave. However, there are no bad examples of the young lady of the Qin family in the Cui family. I also heard them say that this woman is well-behaved and has a good family tradition. Why do she regret it? Once this trend opens, how will Your Majesty educate the people in the future?"

"You can have it before..." There are some. Although they are not as direct as Wang Deyong, they are of similar nature. But in the end, they are justified and Zhao Zhen stumbled with guilt.

"That's right, Wang Xianggong did too directly, and even the ministers dared not walk alone on the street. And the fact that the son-in-law under the list became more and more intense. With the trend of Wang Xiang revealing this, it will be even more intense. The nobles and wealthy chambers of commerce have formed a huge network because of these layers of connections. For example, the minister has not been too noble. Seeing that the Cui family Erlang failed many times, he reached out to give advice. He even fell into an evil path and asked them to speculate on the examiner's personality and review the questions. If it weren't for a relative, why did he do this?

A good thing? It's the minister. What if it's other people with worse moral character? Look at the Cui family now. Because of the alliance, they have a deep relationship with the minister. When they are connected with the Wang Xianggong family, is the Cui family still the Cui family in the past? If they go through various alliances, especially the relationship between Wang Xianggong in the northwest, even if they go to the northwest, they have a strong connection. It is beneficial to the Cui family to the ministers, but what are the benefits to the country? The more noble the noble the, the less humble the less. Do Your Majesty want to see this happen?"

Not only the alliance, but also other relationships, the powerful and powerful did start to form a net, which is also one of the reasons why Wang Anshi's reform failed in history.

"I have neglected, but the marriage between the two families has been completed. How can I remedy it? Why didn't you say it yesterday?"

"My little words are small, and I am a junior, and I don't have direct connections with me. On the other side is Wang Xianggong, who has made great military achievements for the country. How can Your Majesty take responsibility?" It was useless to say it yesterday! He said again: "But now that things have come to this point, Your Majesty can use two strategies to remedy it. One is to choose an excellent and poor person from the candidates and let him marry the young lady of the Qin family."

Yan Wenying was very happy.

What became, I made up a couple.

Zheng Lang was helpless. Wang Deyong didn't know how to deceive him, so he forced his mother-in-law to come to the capital in person, and asked the little emperor to agree to this absurd marriage. He simply made it a little more chaotic.

Zhao Zhen said the severity of the matter by Zheng Lang. He was quite depressed. I was the emperor, not a married woman. Although such a man is easier to find, I made a mistake and thought for a long time and had to say, "I will accept this report."

"Your Majesty can issue an edict. If any candidate who enters Beijing and the provincial examination has an engagement wife, or has married her, during this period, those who have repented of marriage and relatives will be eliminated to open up their moral character." They cannot be beaten to death with one stick. No one has a young lady or a fiancée, and they will not let the family get married. Originally, when the title of the gold list, the wedding night was the happiest thing in life. That would have become an overcorrection.

"No, I promised Wang Xianggong to hold a Jinshi..." I missed my words.

Zheng Lang immediately stood in and advised him, saying, "The main method of selecting scholars in the country is to examine the subjects. Jinshi is equivalent to famous instruments in the country. How can Your Majesty easily teach people with famous instruments? What is the benefit of scientific examinations? Your Majesty, this is even more inappropriate."

"Cui Family Sanlang is your uncle." Although Zheng Lang has a gentle personality, he is also a straight minister. He definitely does not allow himself to be appointed as a minister as a Jinshi. What should I do? Zhao Zhen changed the topic.

"Your Majesty, I am not a stubborn person. I have laws and regulations, but there is no limit to this law to be relaxed. As for Cui Sanlang, if you choose a virtuous person, you should not avoid relatives and enemies, and if you punish them, you should not avoid relatives and enemies. This is the true ancient style."

"Your words are the most reasonable," Zhao Zhen said solemnly.

"I'm saying goodbye." Wang De said by the way the matter of robbing the bride, mainly about the special memorial system.

Watching him leave, Zhao Zhen sighed: "This son is the future pillar of the court."

"The most rare warmth and gentle aura." Yan Wen replied.

"But it's almost done," Zhao Zhen thought of the palace examination and immediately became happy.

...

Jiang Xing'er and Si'er were packing their luggage happily.

Wang Anshi refused to comment on Zheng Lang's advice yesterday, but Sima Guang still disagreed with it. It was not that he could not give advice. If he gave advice for the sake of the scientific examination, he could still be called a straight minister. However, for Wang De's advice to capture his son-in-law, the little master also violated the precept of being a straight minister and being resentful as he said.

Think about it, what is the relationship between Cui Sanlang and the little lady of the Qin family? It is very likely that he has never even met each other, and he doesn't know whether the other person's character is good or bad. Wang De used violent means to force him, so why would he rather die than obey? This is just the family chore of Wang Cui and Qin family. Even if the little teacher married the little lady of the Cui family, he would not interfere. Cui Youjie was an elder at the beginning, and he kindly asked Gao Yanei to come over, showing the little teacher's belly, and the little teacher was still unhappy!

Besides, there are so many unequal affairs in the world, and you have to take care of this. Even Confucius is still alive, he can't help but not be able to take care of it!

This is just a matter of being a little bit and forgetting the big thing.

And if you continue like this, you will definitely not be able to tolerate a grain of sand in your eyes. No, it is a grain of dust. There are too many things in this world that are filthy and dirty. Go to Zhongnan Mountain or Huashan to find a deep mountain valley to live in seclusion. You will not be upset. Don’t be an official. There are not too many intrigues in the officialdom. Who can allow you, a saint, to penetrate it?

After getting on the carriage, Jiang Xinger said admiringly: "You are so nice Zheng Lang."

"The ants shake the tree, right?"

"wrong."

"A mantis arm is in a chariot, right?"

"wrong."

"Pick up sesame seeds and throw melons, right?"

"wrong."

"I did it all last night, are you right?"

"I didn't understand."

"I gave an advice last night. Can people in the world no longer feel poor and love rich again?"

"cannot."

"But how many people will my advice be hated last night? It would be better to give other advice than to make them laugh, which would make the Wan family laugh. Now I can only seek a small justice for a young lady of the Qin family who I never knew and punished countless people. Am I doing the right thing?"

"This is conscience and morality," Jiang Xing'er said hesitantly.

"You really have conscience and morality in this officialdom. Who can take on these two words except Fan Zhongyan?" Even Fan Zhongyan cannot punish the powerful and powerful people in the world for a matter of sesame. Take a look at how long has the bad son-in-law been there? Who has opposed it? On the contrary, almost all the people regard it as a joke, but instead do it.

"Not that serious, right?"

"I'm talking about the third brother, but I'm against catching the son-in-law under the list. But in order to convince Your Majesty, I also exposed the powerful and noble alliance to increase their respective forces. Do you think I'm playing with fire? This time I know why Sima Sanlang is unhappy?"
To be continued...
