Chapter Four Hundred and Eighty-Five The Buyer (Part 2)
Dear bosses, aren’t the chicken moving yet? I’m almost exhausted, let me move.
===================================
Fan Zhongyan is worried about nothing.
If Zheng Lang continued to say this, it might even be in danger of the new policy. Ouyang Xiu and others were dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer.
Zheng Lang also said: "What is a gentleman? One is integrity. You also want the country to become better and cultivate virtue. This is a good thing. But the way of a gentleman is another point: gentleness, not gentleness, weakness, but gentleness and tolerance. In the past, Qin expelled guests, and Li Si wrote a letter saying that I heard that there are many grains in the land, there are many grains in the country, and there are strong soldiers, and there are brave soldiers. Therefore, because Mount Tai does not allow the country to be in the soil, so it can become big; the rivers and seas do not choose the streams, so it can reach the depth; the kings do not abandon the masses, so it can understand their virtues. Therefore, the land has no place There are no foreign countries in all directions, and the four seasons are full of beauty, and ghosts and gods bring blessings. The reason why these five emperors and three kings are invincible is that they abandoned the head of Qian to support the enemy country, but the guests are used to serve the princes, so that the people in the world retreat and dare not go west, and they are surrounded by feet and do not enter Qin. This is what is called a man who borrows troops from the enemy and stole grain. So the King of Qin began to use the heroes of the world to swallow the six countries and unify China. Qin Shihuang and Li Si cannot be called gentlemen. However, because they know the way to be tolerant, you call yourself a gentleman, can't you treat others with tolerance?"
The sharp attacks made Ouyang Xiu's body completely useless.
"A man is not a sage, and he must not be without fault. If he is wrong, he will say that if he is a lie, villain, slander, or dirty person, what does the wearer feel? If he is worn by Jia Changchao, then Xia Shu, and Lu Yijian. If he is worn by several people, he may also be worn by me. Will the wearer be disgusted? When Lu Yijian was in power, he was called a treacherous evil. He also used Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi as a marginal official, and recommended that he be used as a prime minister in front of His Majesty. However, you all recommend the world. If you do not rule in the future, they will overthrow you in the Jia Changchao. What will this country become? Don't do anything. Attack each other, you overthrow me, I overthrow you, and even hug you into a group, and hug you into a party suppression. What will be the consequences?"
Zhao Zhen began to frown.
"Actually, no one can use it. There are some disadvantages in the exemption law. In order to adjust, I asked Fan Zhongyan for good strategies. Then I discussed with Lu Yijian. Abandon Lu Yijian's moral character and use Lu Yijian's talent. Is it right? As for the new policy, I have always adopted a supportive attitude. The country has many disadvantages and crises. If it is not reformed, the country will sit and wait for death. But you are too hastily. You have not thought about the measures, so you have some questions in your heart, and you have not expressed your support or objection. But if it is right, I will still support it. If it is wrong, I will still oppose it. It is not against people. However, a small Zhang Hai actually blocked the Han River because of the struggle for the court. More than a thousand people are powerful people. If it is impossible to pass the pass, you can't pass the pass. If it is extinguished, you can't pass the army. Will you be willing to wait for them to get into trouble again?"
"Tell me Zhang Hai," a hint of begging appeared in Fan Zhongyan's eyes.
If this continues, the gentlemen will be smeared together by Zheng Lang.
Moreover, Cai Xiang was tied up in a cocoon. Because he issued an edict, the ruling minister was not allowed to meet guests privately. Now that something happened, he could not call these younger brothers together to discuss.
Had a headache.
But it cannot be denied that Zheng Lang was wrong. Ouyang Xiu has done too much during this period.
Zheng Lang was not very happy, no matter who else, you, Fan Zhongyan, came down from the battlefield and knew about military things. Although Zhang Hai had some controversial points in the imperial guards, it was not without benefits. I am not Lu Yijian, and I still have some friendship with you. Why didn’t Ouyang Xiu persuade him when he objected? If you, as an expert, come forward and make a final decision, how could the dispute come?
Zheng Lang said: "When it comes to Zhang Hai, I will quote Emperor Taizong of Tang, starting from the source, why are these bandits appearing? That is, the more than a thousand people detained on the banks of the Hanshui River, there are few real bandits, almost all of them have fallen into bandits this year. Why are they fallen into bandits? First, the military bandits, the reason why are they harshly and cannot be treated well by the generals, and why are they harshly and harshly and the generals not doing well? The source is that the most are the bandits, why are they harshly and the ministers in the court not doing well. Source one. The most are the bandits, why are they harshly and the bandits, and why are they harshly and unable to eat food, not just full or they cannot eat food at all, even if they are half hungry. Or they are officials and fish and meat, causing the officials to force the people to rebel. Why
There was no food, and the country was empty for four years. In order to support the war, it had to regain the people. Whose fault is this? The country paid more than 100 million yuan of funds and mobilized more than 300,000 soldiers. However, the Xia thieves could not be quarantined and had to finally discuss peace and ease the pressure of the country. It was not that the soldiers on the edge were not brave. In the battle of Sanchuankou, hundreds of soldiers fought against more than 100,000 Xixia troops and fought for three days without surrender. The seven thousand soldiers in the good water river fought against the 100,000 Xixia elite soldiers, all died in battle, and no one surrendered. Such elite soldiers and generals used so much money, but could not suppress the thieves. The fault was Fan Yong, Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Pang Ji and Zheng Lang, which was incompetent, and the source was the second source!"
When he heard that even he himself was included, even Zhao Zhen, the king and his minister almost fell to the ground.
"The second is food and dispatch. In fact, since last winter, the war has almost stopped. By the time this year the drought occurred, causing the bandits to officially rise. How long has it been? The drought was in the north, not the south, and there was no food and cloth in the south. Whose fault is the illegal officials in various places? Where is the source? Your Majesty, the ministers in the capital, and the important officials in the border areas. If you deal with the crime, please issue an edict to go to the ancestral temple to apologize to the emperor. You also want to demote the official position to half the salary. If you do not punish the crime, why is there any reason to pursue the common people?"
The biggest buyer is not Zhang Hai, but the emperor, but the big guys!
Everyone was stunned again, as if they were stunned.
"Since Taizu founded the country, our dynasty has attached importance to internal governance, and the people have thanked him. Since the name of the official family came out, the people have also called His Majesty the official family. It is not the noble emperor, but the officials, parents, and father... Confucianism says that benevolence is the basis. Your Majesty, after all, they are your people, and they also regard the emperor of our dynasty as parents who are trusting..."
This was sensational. Zhao Zhen let Zheng Lang cry with tears in his eyes and sobbed: "The country has been going to this day, I am wrong, I am wrong."
Zheng Lang simply incited and said, "The reason why Zhang Hai surrendered to the court is that after our army was cut, the army was neat and made him feel uneasy. Second, something happened. His wife broke into the camp in the name of deceitful surrender, intending to hijack me by force. But I released her."
"Why?" Fu Bi finally spoke.
Today Zheng Lang made him feel uncomfortable. Fan Zhongyan is his friend, and Zheng Lang is also his friend. For himself, Zheng Lang forcibly bombarded Lu Yijian. However, today Zheng Lang made him feel embarrassed.
"She didn't understand, and asked me, I said you are a woman. The emperor is kind. As a human being, you must have compassion. As a country, you must have compassion. Women, children, young and old are all vulnerable groups, so I let you go back. So I felt that I was not too evil. I thought that Your Majesty had a kind heart. They took the initiative to surrender, hoping that Your Majesty could still regard them as sons and daughters. Forgive them, so I descended on Maku Mountain, Zhushan two, and Nuwa Mountain three. After the three surrenders, I believe that they had the intention of reforming themselves, so I was allowed to surrender. It was not a rash way. Your Majesty, you are the official family in the world, they are the people of the Song Dynasty, and they are your children. Can't you show kindness and compassion?"
Zhao Zhen’s tears were not dry yet, and he nodded repeatedly.
Ouyang Xiu was a little anxious and said, "Zheng Lang, the kindness of kindness is good, but I am afraid that it will be because of Xiaoren."
"What is Xiaoren? This is more than a thousand lives. Besides, my salary and various benefits require at least two thousand households to support me. And you, Ouyang Xiu, can be calculated. It is the hard work of the people that allows us to eat the best, wear the best, and live the best. Why do they support us? I want us to help the emperor to resist foreign aggression and to help the people to live a peaceful and peaceful life. But my dynasty has undertaken the heaviest taxes in all dynasties, making the national finance record unprecedented in history. But has the emperor been defying foreign aggression and letting the people live a happy life?"
Ouyang Xiu frowned.
This is what Zheng Lang dislikes the most, forgetting his roots!
Unlike Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu's family was poor, but after being a scholar-official, he almost forgot about the poor people and always considered the problem from the perspective of a scholar-official.
Perhaps in his heart, he thought that the poor people should do this.
Without revealing it, he continued: "Mr. Fan, why did you work hard for the country from east to west today and become a role model for scholars all over the world? The reason is very simple. In the past, your family was very poor. The court opened the Juyang Academy and took you in, which gave you a chance to make a name for yourself. Ouyang Xiu, you are the same. This is called feedback. The Confucian way is based on benevolence and righteousness as the integrity. Righteousness is moderation, auxiliary, and benevolence is the foundation. The country does not treat the people well, how do the people be loyal to the country? How do they treat it well? They dare not seek the best house, dare not be close to the most popular ones, dare not drink the most beautiful wine, only seek a food and clothing, a place where they can live, and a hope..."
"but……"
"Ouyang Xiu, I know what you want to say and what you are worried about," Zheng Lang interrupted him without politely. If there were no Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan would not have had so many stories, and he would not have any pressure: "That's right, new bandits have emerged one after another, but have you noticed that as disaster relief supplies come down one after another, including Zhuzhou Prefecture in the capital, I can't take action at all, and bandits are gradually disappearing. There are some bandits who are not afraid of death, and there are also fewer people who are in danger. Until they are absolutely unable to do so, who would be willing to take the blame for the world, stand on the risk, become bandits, and live a life of fear of fear. Punishment is only a means of sanctions. Disaster relief is the fundamental way to cure the officials, make officials become effective, no longer harsh the people, and make generals no longer fish and soldiers. This is the fundamental way to cure the problem. Although some exceptions are made, the prime mover
There was no mistake in the court? Besides, it was not surrendered, but it was just forcibly suppressed. More than 3,000 people. Since Mount Wu, all the states were vast and vast. How many soldiers' lives were needed to exchange for bandit peace? If you don't consider the lives of these bandits, you should also consider the lives of the soldiers? They have family, wives and daughters, and they did not let the court down. Why not let it go? The world is great and the life is the greatest. Besides, these people really cannot reform themselves? Not to mention Zhou Chu, just say that I was extremely naughty when I was young, and I was called the evil young man in Zhengzhou. I even went to have fun at the age of ten to make fun of the world. If I did what I did when I was young, wouldn't I be a playboy who did everything I did? But now, am I the young? Can I also do some effort for Your Majesty? Although the power is very small, it has been done, right?"
Dare you say that Zheng Lang didn’t do his best?
Since Taipingzhou, we have achieved continuous political achievements. We have arrived in the northwest and have won several great victories. We have personally made the front line. In order to prevent the princess from being humiliated and the country from being humiliated, there is still a very risky trip to the Khitan in the future.!~!
