In April, the peonies have not yet faded, and the snow of the locust flowers has begun to rise...51o.

Zheng Lang made an admonition and asked Ouyang Xiu to preside over the negotiation of the people's return. This matter was a bit difficult. Building a city actually did not harm the Song Dynasty. People dealt with the Western Xia. The two cities were used to store war materials, but one truth could be explained. The alliance clearly stated that the border should not be built, trenches should not be built, and troops should not be increased. The people were needed by the Song Dynasty. After all, in theory, the Song Dynasty attached importance to internal governance, and everyone was calling people-oriented. If they did not mention it, they would be deaf and dumb. When these people were mentioned, they were considered people of the Song Dynasty. How difficult would it be to escape from the Western Xia?

The key is that they fled from Xixia, not from the Song Dynasty, and even some of the indigenous people of Xixia were covered with, so they couldn't explain clearly.

Zheng Lang wrote a letter of nationality and handed it to the Khitan, but it was not enough. If the Khitans agreed, they would have to propose it this time. The negotiation was difficult, but it would be a considerable contribution after negotiation. The negotiations with the Khitan were won. Even if it was a fraction of the credit, it would be a great contribution!

Everyone was stunned.

In fact, compared with Ouyang Xiu's various advices, even if Zheng Lang had a dispute at the court meeting, his tone was much more tactful. Although you said it wrong, you were kind-hearted and had to think deeply and not talk nonsense. Look at Ouyang Xiu's memorials, evil people, dirty ministers, and insidious...

Sending Ouyang Xiu as an envoy, negotiating with the Khitan Xixia is also a good candidate.

As a counselor, he could torture all over the court to death, but as an envoy, he could also torture the envoys of both countries to the point of suffering. Among the envoys before the Zhao Zhen Dynasty, except for Fu Bi, everyone seemed weak, and even their diplomacy was dim and they repeatedly lost control.

The Khitan envoy arrived, and the Khitan Queen sent the general Xiao Zhongxiao, the governor of the gatekeeper, Liu Congshun, the Khitan Emperor sent the governor of Shiping Xiao Yi, and the Gaozhou Observation Envoy Zhao Jianzhi to the capital to celebrate the Qianyuan Festival.

Ouyang Xiu also made Zheng Lang feel like he was dying.

Zheng Lang was sloppy and wanted to find fault, but it was not easy to find it. Even if he ignored the consequences, he asked others to impeach Zheng Lang and was wronged. If it was not easy to spread to the people, he could compare with Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian's battle. Who was Lu Yijian and who was Wang Zeng? I'm afraid he would say that he was Lu Yijian.

With shame and anger, he tried his best to deal with the four Khitan envoys. He was also quite strategic. He did not mention the people, but mentioned building a city first. Xiao Yi could only explain again and again that building a city was an exception. It was not for your Song Dynasty, but for your Song Dynasty, Xixia did not surrender to your country for a long time. He also made all kinds of unreasonable demands, and we will attack Xixia on your Song Dynasty.

Ouyang Xiu said, "You Khitans don't need to take action. We will solve the problem of Xixia by the Song Dynasty. As for the peace talks that there was an extra 100,000 yuan, it is only necessary to enhance the friendship between the two countries and give it to you Khitan for free."

I was afraid that the Khitan would take this opportunity to seek credit, so I would make all kinds of unreasonable demands again in the future.

Xiao Yi also felt embarrassed. He went to the Western Xia to get the 100,000 yuan to explain to the Song Dynasty, considering that he was considering the country. Yuan Hao was ambitious and took in the people of the Jiashan tribes many times. Not only were there people from Jiashan, but also from the Tatar tribes in the north. Once Yuan Hao used the counter-espionage plan, the Khitan would also become corrupt. In the past, he used to act as a chess that restricted the Song Dynasty, but now he was gradually unable to get out of the way and could not let the Western Xia develop, otherwise it would not only become a threat to the Song Dynasty, but also a threat to the Khitan. This was the plan to conquer the Khitan.

It was finally impossible to say it, and it was reasonable that the monarch and ministers of the Song Dynasty had doubts.

After a long dispute, Ouyang Xiu said: "You can ignore the matter of building a city, but we must release the people who were abducted by Yuan Hao."

"Yuan Hao is unruly, we don't listen to the orders of the Khitan."

"No, it is that some people fled to our dynasty from Xixia. There are many checkpoints along the way, so they can only flee from your territory. However, after you Khitan built two cities, you intercepted the people of our dynasty and did not return. This is also a matter of hurting your brothers. Our lord increased the lord's lord's annual lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's lord's

After hearing this, the four Khitan envoys discussed for a while. Xiao Yi said, "It is not intercepting, there are some people from Xixia. If our country lets them escape to the Song Dynasty, they will lose their righteousness before the army is invading. In this way, we will go back to report to our Lord and send people to the southwest to identify. What if you, the people of the Song Dynasty's palace, release them one by one?"

"If this is the case, several officials must be sent from our prefectures to identify them." Ouyang Xiu replied. Let you identify them, how many people can be released? In this era, people are also a resource.

After several days of grinding, the four messengers made him dizzy and agreed.

Zhao Zhen commended.

But I couldn't help laughing and crying in my heart. This person served as the Censorate and was just a troublemaker. But as an envoy, he was the only one who chose it. It was indeed a meter...

The court is harmonious.

Zheng Langchao fought and denounced Ouyang Xiu, and then gave him a chance to make meritorious service. What else can he say?

But behind this, Zhao Zhen’s balance technique is only known by heaven, earth, Zhao Zhen, and Zheng Lang. The key is that after Zheng Lang’s statement, the court became quiet, and no other minister mentioned Shui Luocheng. He dared not mention it again, and when he purified it, he was looking for a shot.

Zheng Lang gave another advice, saying that the summer harvest was coming and the finances gradually turned into safety. Since peace was humiliated, we should rest and recuperate and take care of the people. The act of raising commercial taxes by science and technology should be stopped slowly, not immediately, and the finances of the Song Dynasty were still very tense. Since the war, all the more intensive scientific and technological subsidies were eliminated, and the increased commercial taxes were gradually reduced.

This is Zheng Lang's credit.

Prepare food in advance, quickly quell the uprisings in various places, and save a lot of finance. Otherwise, at this time, there would be no reduction in the scientific and technological allocation and the commercial tax was gradually reduced and exempted. There was nothing else, and the finances could not be transferred. However, this credit was invisible, without comparison, and no one noticed it.

Immediate accuracy.

With this edict, the country has come to a real recovery.

And Zheng Lang is also waiting and seeing how effective his tax exemption law has.

Wang Anshi's tax exemption law has many disadvantages. In addition, the market change law makes the tax exemption law only limited to reducing the burden on third and fourth-class households, and the commercial value is eliminated by the market change law. If there is no market change law, these middle-class people will release it greatly to drive the economic prosperity of the Song Dynasty.

It is also invisible, so you can't see it directly, and it will take less than five years to go.

Not only the tax exemption law, but also the military strategy. It also takes a long time to go, and now you have to pay money to settle veterans. The retirement fee is very high, and if you want to see the effect, it will be less than five years later. Not only is there no effect at the moment, but it is increasing expenses.

The layoffs have been successively cut, and several soldiers from the capital have been cut. Before the war, the imperial guards and foreign soldiers, that is, the main force of regular combat soldiers, reached 900,000. After large-scale layoffs, the number of imperial guards and foreign soldiers has been reduced to less than 710,000.

It is similar to the numbers after Wang Anshi's reform.

But Zheng Lang was not satisfied. If he wanted to avoid redundant, the number of injunctions had to be controlled between 600,000 and 650,000. He didn't have the courage to do so, and if he had too much, he would be redundant.

At present, the number of banned foreign soldiers will still become a heavy burden for the country.

What is optimistic is that the wing soldiers have been reduced to a shortage of 350,000 through tax exemption laws and further reductions, which is equivalent to the peak since the war started. More than 200,000 and nearly 300,000 troops have been cut successively. It still has to be controlled. If it is compressed to 900,000, the disadvantages of the Song Dynasty's redundant soldiers will be gradually eliminated.

It's already pretty good.

The reason why it went so smoothly was precisely because of the improved Baojia method. The capital of the capital and Hebei, Hedong and Shaanxi, recruited more than 300,000 Baoding people, which at least made Zhao Zhen feel that my troops had not decreased.

Not only Zhao Zhen would think so, but some conservative ministers would also think so.

This method cleverly facilitates tax deduction. Some officials want to achieve merit and force the levy, so the tax is reduced and the levy is not encouraged. The number of guaranteed entries is insufficient and it is difficult to overcome. There will be disputes, but with this delicate balance, the disputes will not be very large. Even if there is, no one cares, and they are all paying attention to the Qingli government.

Nearly 300,000 soldiers have decreased. At present, there has been no loosening the financial pressure of the Song Dynasty. On the contrary, more than 300,000 guaranteed the financial burden on the Song Dynasty has increased some burden on the financial burden.

Without the various quarrels brought about by the Qingli administration, the Song Dynasty was gradually recovering.

At this moment, something happened, something not a big incident, and it finally shocked the government and the people.

The south of Kaifeng City is Chenliu County. There is a earthen bridge on the Bian River on the west side of Nanzhen, Chenliu County. This earthen bridge was not designed well at the beginning and mostly blocked the channel, so it moved here, but it was not designed well. The bridge pier faced the channel and transported ships from the canal to transport ships. Every time I pass here, I am careful to avoid hitting the piers and sinking the ships. Chenliu County urged the gang, that is, the grain escort officer Li Shunju, suggested moving the bridge to another place.

Hearing Li Shunju's reaction, Wu Yu, the prefect of Kaifeng, sent Kaifeng County lord Bo Li Wenzhong and Chenliu County Magistrate Du Yan to verify the situation. This Du Yan was not Du Yan from the Western Prefecture, but another Du Yan, with a different person of the same name. Li and Du came to see it and it was inconvenient. When they went back to react, Wu Yu ordered the demolition of the bridge.

At this time, trouble arose.

Although it is a wooden bridge, it will not be small if it can be built on the Bian River. The bridge deck is tall and has several piers. Therefore, it is located on the side below the land bridge deck and is used by a family. If the bridge is demolished, his house will also be demolished.

In this era, there are also compensation for demolition, and the forms of compensation are different. For example, houses will give you some labor and material money and land, so that you can rebuild and build, or occupy land, or give other good land. However, people have not yet hyped the land and the government has not counted on land to make money, so the cost is not high.

But this family is illegally occupied and will definitely not be compensated. Besides, the house is beautiful, so how can I compensate? However, this family is a local big family and also brings a Weiwei Temple chief official named Lu Shilun. Wang Ming happened to rent his house in front of his official Wang Ming, and the two had a very good relationship. Lu Shilun gave Wang Ming a generous gift to Wang Ming. After Wang Ming accepted Lu Shilun's bribe, he went to ask Wang Yaochen, the envoy of the three officials. He would not directly say that he could not touch the house of Lu Shilun's family, but said that this earth bridge existed for a long time, not as serious as Li Shunju said, Kaifeng Prefecture was a waste of money. Wang Yaochen and Wang Ming were Jinshi of the same year. The two were familiar with each other in the form similar to Zheng Lang and Zhang Fangping. He did not expect that the twists and turns were involved, so he told Shen Cheng, the judge of the Ministry of Revenue, that there was no need to demolish the bridge and save money.

He is a three-level envoy, and he is in charge of how many affairs? He will not inspect this small matter in person. Shen Cheng is different. After hearing this, he asked, but hesitated. So he delayed. When Wang Ming saw that Wang Yaochen was not moving, he urged him to ask again. Wang Yaochen asked Shen Cheng for the second time. Shen Yue misunderstood and did not dare to ask directly. Wang Si envoy was not a question of whether to demolish or not, but the house of the Lu family. He thought there was something tricky in the middle and did not dare to offend Wang Yaochen, so he said that Kaifeng Prefecture had begun to force the demolition bridge.

Wang Yaochen was a little angry and said, "I spent a lot of money to build this bridge. I just took thirty years to move to another place. Are you not afraid of wasting money?"

Maybe he wanted to save money. The three corpses were very hard-working and were short of money everywhere. Is it easy to survive for more than a year? If you want to maintain it, you must be careful in your calculations. It may be that he was dissatisfied with Wu Yu's strong attitude.

Then Chen Ronggu, the chief of the palace, went to the scene to inspect. It was inconvenient, but it was not easy to drive the boat carefully. It would not cause the bad consequences of the boat capsized and perished. He also speculated on Wang Yaochen's intentions. After Chen Ronggu came back, he said it was okay, not as serious as Li Shunju said.

After half of the demolition was removed, Wu Yu was dissatisfied and impeached Chen Liuqiao for fraud, where did Zhao Zhen go? Zhao Zhen sent the censor Wang Li to investigate. Wang Li was seeking truth from facts and had no other intentions. He went down to take a look. It was not because of money, but because of the lu family's house. There must be something tricky in the middle, so he wrote a letter to respond truthfully. Zhao Zhen didn't believe it very much. If it were other officials, there would be another Wang Yaochen. He sent Lu Jue, the doctor of the Ministry of Works, to investigate the case.

I don’t know what the Lu family would think at this time. A bridge actually alarmed so many big shots...

Later Lu Shilun was afraid. He told me a little bit that I did not bribe, but only gave me some gifts. It turned out that there were old friends, so it was normal for them to not do this. The truth was revealed. Zhao Zhen each beat 50 pieces, Wang Yaochen fined 7 jin of copper, and Guo Nan, deputy envoy of the Ministry of Revenue. He was the chief envoy of Chenliu County, Yang Wenzhong, chief clerk of Kaifeng County, and Chenliu and other counties urged the Gang, and the right attendant Li Shunju, and he fined 6 jin of copper, all of whom were punished by public crimes. The judge of the Ministry of Revenue, Shen Yue, the doctor of the State, fined 7 jin of copper, Chen Ronggu, the chief of the Palace Chief, fined 10 jin of copper, Wang Ming, the outer lord of the capital, pursued a official, and Lu Shilun, the chief of the Weiwei Temple, pursued a official, and still fined 10 jin of copper, and took charge of private crimes.

That is, big things turn into small things, small things turn into small things.

It’s not nice to make a fuss, and it’s not very good to have so many ministers in it.

Zhao Zhen wanted to resolve the matter, but it reached Fan Zhongyan's ears. He thought that Zhao Zhen and Xi Ni were wrong, so he submitted a memorial. As a minister in charge of major affairs, I was not a good judge. If I don't say anything, I will betray Your Majesty the day before yesterday and will become a sinner in the world, so I want to say something.

Chenliuqiao was the address chosen by Emperor Zhenzong to damage the boat and ship after repeated investigations. Yao Zhongsun was in the Sansi, and Du Yan asked to move the bridge, but Zhongsun did not. When Wang Gongchen was informed of the seal of the palace, he asked to move it, but Gongchen did not. The court did not know that there was an imperial edict in the previous dynasty, so Xu Yi failed to investigate. The Sansi built this bridge last year, and now it has broken the materials, so he sent people to review it again and again, which was not a personal crime.

The words of moving the bridge were sent to Wang Yaochen on the 9th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 1

If the rank is high, Your Highness will be high. The reason why all the officials respect the heavens is the reason. The three officials command the great plan of the world, and if they are guilty, Your Majesty will be demoted and deposed by themselves. You should not let the officials in the law be humiliated with minor mistakes. This is the reason why you are afraid of the robbers. Even if Your Majesty has the intention of despising his close ministers, you should not show it to others.

Wang Ming rented Lu's house and paid 1,000 yuan a month. At that time, he had been moved to Chenzhou's magistrate, but he was temporarily stayed there. At that time, Wang Ming was the magistrate of the county. The Lu family was unwilling to collect money, but Wang Ming refused. It was just because Wang Li reported that he captured Lu Shilun and was imprisoned. There was a false trick (the unexpected sound was a traitor). How could he ask the official to ask for this matter for one or two thousand yuan? Because he stopped chasing the officials, or was punished with the Tongguan, he would avoid complaining outsiders and avoid frequent complaints from others and trouble the court.

Chen Ronggu ruled on the bridge matter and said that the fifty ships were damaged in the case were mostly caused by wind blowing and the boatman was improperly harnessed, and even the boat hit the bridge pier and bumped into the bridge pier. Only five were caused by the bridge, which could be caused by the loss of life and loss of property when moving the bridge. Therefore, Rong Ding decided to seize it and could not move the bridge. Now Wang Li's report moved back to its original place, which violated the order of the previous dynasty, and the second bridge was built for more than a month. Before it was repaired, it was heard that the boat was damaged, the bridge column was broken, and the water was slightly bad, and the heavy-loaded ship was not easy to pass.

Shen Yue was the judge of the three departments, and the official duties of moving bridges were his supervisor. Wang Li decided again and sent someone to ask whether it should be moved or not, which was a ruthless act.

Although Wang Li and Wang Yaochen were the same brothers, they were not happy with each other, so they decided to seize the situation and falsely accused the three officials of their relationship. They also reported that the emperor was the one who claimed that the minister of Yao had to have evil intentions. The facts were not ruthless and evil intentions, and it was not worth it. Wang Li personally defended this matter and should be informed to avoid the mistakes of the incident.

This case should not be moved to the bridge, but in this era, although the bridge is convenient for passers-by, the ships will inevitably cause many inconveniences once built. The ships in later generations also bumped into the bridge, and there are reasons for dismantling the sailboats in this era, and there is also reason for dismantling them, and there is no reason for dismantling them. However, with the promotion of both sides, this case reached a peak again. Fan Zhongyan's speech was still implicit, and he should not say it. Is it worth it? And Zhao Zhen also followed it and approved Fan Zhongyan's memorial.

Fan Zhongyan said so much, and some places have decided to make mistakes, and they are only fighting for a private crime. Public crimes are the mistakes that lead to failure, the blame is not serious, and the morality is not lost. Private crimes are the selfish intentions of officials, for favors, bribery, or other reasons, and the punishment is unfair and should be punished severely. Once they are labeled as private crimes, their career will be hindered in the future.

Since I followed it, there was no big problem. Isn’t it just a few kilograms of copper fine? How much is it worth?

But there is a Wang Li in it. Can Ouyang Xiu let it go? In fact, in the Qingli government, Ouyang Xiu played a great negative role, not only causing the party dispute, but also almost went astray...
