"Di Qing, sit down," Zhao Zhen said with a kind look.

After the battle of Jiaozhi, Zheng Lang desperately praised the memorial.

There are the merits of all the soldiers and civil officials. The soldiers have martial arts, and civil officials’ achievements cannot be ignored. Without the governance of Tian Yu, Cheng Shimeng and others, there would be no one in the rear, who would have been the general in this battle, and it would have failed in the end.

Only one person was demoted, Yu Jing.

He said that he did not understand military affairs, and he clearly arranged for him to take charge of the transportation of materials in the rear and govern the people, but he intervened in military affairs many times, resulting in the labor of the people on Jiangnan West Road and Jinghu South Road. As a result, the army had not yet been concentrated and the battle had ended, and the production in these militia's homes was severely delayed. It once caused the loss of Zhennan Pass and Yongping Village, which almost led to the failure of the entire battle.

It is not deliberately looking for Yu Jing’s trouble, but vaguely revealing a truth.

The Three Heroes of the Western Han Dynasty!

Xiao He was a civil servant, an official, in charge of the rear, governing the people, Zhang Liang was a counselor, following Liu Bang's advice, and Han Xin was a general, leading troops to kill the enemy. Therefore, the Han won the world. It was nothing wrong to value civil officials, civil officials were the local officials, and Liu Bang also ranked Xiao He first in terms of merit. This rear was very important in the war. But would Liu Bang let Xiao He compete with Xiang Yu?

Some civil officials understand military affairs, but after all, they are few, and they only know one thing. Each battle is the result of negotiation with the generals. But how many civil officials know military affairs better than themselves?

Yu Jing has made a mistake first, but he still does not correct his mistakes. This is a mistake.

The family rules of ancestors value culture and dismiss military affairs are not wrong, but this is dethroned one is status, and the other is to control local government finance and control military generals, and it is not to let civil officials lead troops to fight. Song Taizu launched many large-scale battles, using Fan Zhi, and Wang Pu led troops to fight. Song Taizong also launched several battles, using Xue Juzheng, Song Qi, Lu Mengzheng, and Lu Duan led troops to fight. No, where did the family rules of ancestors come from?

This is a big proposition, and it develops to the end. It is better to use foreign relatives and eunuchs as the commander of the three armies than to use military generals as the commander.

So I directly threw out this proposition and let everyone discuss and reflect.

Yu Jing was sad.

In fact, Yu Jing is in Guangdong and Guangxi. Because it is too soft, it will be very unfavorable to the future development of Guangdong and Guangxi. At this time, Guangdong and Guangxi are not Guangdong and Guangxi in history. Officials must be able to be soft and hard. If a few years pass, Guangdong and Guangxi will gradually stabilize, and Yu Jing will go to Guangdong and Guangxi again, it will be almost the same. But it is definitely not possible at this time.

As for whether he will offend Yu Jing, with Zheng Lang’s current status, why bother with him?

Then he talked about his achievements and Di Qing's achievements.

Without Di Qing's ideas, Zheng Langshi's ** would choose to have a real self-defense counterattack rather than a surprise attack on Shenglong City.

Then he talked about all kinds of things that he had exceeded the rules and asked the court to punish him. If he had no merit, he would be guilty. In fact, he was helpless. He said that he had meritoriously and the court would reward him. What would he reward him? If he would be a king of a different surname. Is it possible in the Song Dynasty? Maybe, he might be able to give him a letter after he dies, but it would be absolutely right to live.

Actually, it was really good. If it were another emperor, Zheng Lang would have been taken down long ago.

How did Zhou Yafu get into prison?

An emperor like Emperor Jing of Han could not tolerate the existence of a minister who had made great contributions and shocked the Lord. How many emperors could tolerate it? Zhao Zhen helped Bao Zheng and Zheng Lang. But he had to know his own responsibilities. His contribution was too high. Zheng Lang had almost become the brightest highlight of the Song Dynasty in recent years. If it were not Zhao Zhen, could other emperors tolerate such a minister being placed in the temple?

Zhao Zhen smiled after seeing the memorial.

Of course, he still likes Zheng Lang's prudence. He knows how to advance and retreat. He just doesn't fear Zheng Lang and doesn't want to make a bad head. He cannot reward him without reward, and he does not punish him.

No matter who is credited, Zhao Zhen is very happy this time.

The first time he was the king of a foreign country, Li Rizun was not a king, but he was the king, and he was captured and returned to the capital to present victory. He defeated Nong Zhigao for several battles in the south, and defeated Dali, and destroyed Jiaozhi. It was also the most glorious moment of the Song Dynasty's martial arts since the Battle of Gaoliang River.

Therefore, an edict was issued to a national amnesty, and after raising the support of the people of Guangdong and Guangxi, it issued an edict to exempt the two taxes of Guangdong and Guangxi. The two taxes in Guangdong and Guangxi were very light, with only 40 cents per acre of land, but it was not a small number. The land of more than 500,000 hectares alone reached more than 2 million yuan. All of them were exempted at once.

Then the private hall invited Di Qing to a banquet.

Zheng Lang highlighted Di Qing's importance and also intended to highlight Di Qing's importance. Now the court's argumentative ministers fought against Chen Zhizhong, and Di Qing was on the side. Chen Zhizhong was finished fighting, Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi came to the stage, and Han Qi followed him. Those who understand were all gentlemen. Who is the most eye-catching?

Originally, Zhao Zhen's intimate private banquet played the opposite effect.

Not only that, as some famous officials grow older and their styles become more conservative, they are well-known in the world, such as Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, Ouyang Xiu, etc., which will bring great constraints to Zheng Lang.

Now that singing and dancing are coming to peace, no one, including Zheng Lang, noticed the crisis. Zhao Zhen did not expect that he had actually discussed some things with Di Qing on his private banquet, such as the establishment of the military in Guangdong and Guangxi. The scale of the military was expanded, and it would not be possible to leave the Eighth Battalions of the Imperial Guards alone. Zheng Lang had not intervened, so he had to ask Di Qing.

Di Qing said honestly: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, you will be stationed at least the 15th Battalion of Imperial Guards. Zheng Xianggong trained a light cavalry army on Guangnan West Road, and half of them remained on Guangnan West Road. These nearly 2,000 light cavalry must be stuffed into the Imperial Guards. With more than 30,000 civilians and local soldiers, Guangdong and Guangxi will not lose any more."

The local soldiers are militias, which are a little chaotic, but they are still different from Baoding and the township soldiers. The township soldiers in Shaanxi are local troops, which have their own farmland and some of the salaries are slightly lower than those of the imperial guards. The local soldiers in Guangdong and Guangxi are not as good as those in Shaanxi, but are slightly higher than those of Baoding. At the same time, Baoding is organized by big and small guards, but the local soldiers are formally established commands and capitals. Commanders and Du Yuhou are both real military generals of the imperial court, but they are mostly barbarians to appease the local barbarians. Unlike the wing soldiers, the wing soldiers are mainly engaged in labor service, and the local soldiers are specialized in training, cooperating with officers and soldiers to catch thieves, and even fighting. Overall, raising an imperial guard is about 50,000 local soldiers.

Di Qing's suggestion would make the military expenditure of Guangdong and Guangxi slightly higher and could be within the scope of the court's endurance.

Zhao Zhen talked about the military affairs in the northwest and Hebei, as well as the addition of scouts in the special agent camp, and asked Di Qing to go back. Hearing this, many scholars and officials had strange thoughts.

There is no incident now, Yan Chen is shooting Chen Zhizhong. This time the main gunner has changed to another person, a more powerful person, Ouyang Xiu...

...

Zhao Niannu dropped the brush in his hand, looked at Liang Huaiji and said, "How is my handwriting?"

"good."

Liang Huaiji would also answer well if he was not good. Liang Huaiji himself had a high understanding, was good at writing, and wrote good calligraphy, and wrote poems, songs and essays. He understood a little bit. Of course, he did not dare to steal Zhao Niannu's limelight.

"I'm afraid it's still not possible," Zhao Niannu took out the words left by Zheng Lang to read.

At this time, Zhao Niannu was not Zhao Niannu at that time. She gradually grew up and understood right and wrong. Therefore, in the last few years, she rarely looked for Zheng Lang and only left with her before leaving. Liang Huaiji was not Liang Huaiji at that time. When she grew up, she became sensible.

He was smiling bitterly in his heart, "Grandma, why don't you forget it?"

Even Xianggong Zheng is afraid that all the piano and calligraphy and paintings that are good at working hard for the years have been put down. He said slowly: "Actually, the prince consort is not bad. I heard that Your Highness likes calligraphy and painting, so he often likes to recite poems. He practices cursive, flying white, scattered official scripts, and is also good at writing ink, washing, bamboo and stone. Because he is a person who is scattered by nature, he writes when he is happy, and abandons when he is happy."

"What qualifications does he have to say that he is just a casual person and a good person?"

“Not really.”

"What's wrong... Have you heard of him...he has practiced Feibai Body?"

This thing was invented by Cai Yong, and Wu Zetian officially developed it. Many calligraphy works have been written in Feibai style. However, later generations have had low evaluations of this Feibai style and are difficult to learn. In addition, Zheng Lang thought it was too charming, so many strange new styles came out, but the Feibai style was not seen.

Zhao Niannu said it was not good to not fly white body, but ridiculed Li Wei for wanting to practice flying white body to please his father.

Liang Huaiji stopped talking and insisted on comparing that person, this future son-in-law was in trouble.

He shook his head carefully.

Regardless of whether the prince-consort is good or not, it is impossible for you and Zheng Lang to stay together. Even if the Song Dynasty was destroyed and the family was destroyed, you would not have any fate.

"Xiao Jizi, where will I accompany me to my mother?"

"Here." Liang Huaiji accompanied Zhao Niannu to Concubine Miao's place. He paid homage to his mother and said, "Empress, I want to leave the palace."

"Why did you leave the palace?"

"I'll go to Zheng Xianggong's house and ask Xing'er for calligraphy."

The capital also likes to spread rumors. Zheng Lang's reputation has become more and more famous. All the deeds from childhood to adulthood have been revealed. Jiang Xing'er is no exception and is yearned for by countless fans. Therefore, many fans prostitutes posted to literati and inspiring pictures to make a husband. As a result, many Du Shiniang were produced, which made people laugh. Jiang Xing'er's calligraphy was also taught by Zheng Lang, and the style of calligraphy he taught her was very similar to the style of calligraphy he taught his daughter. As he grew older, his calligraphy became more and more beautiful. There were many rumors in the market and it also spread to the inner palace.

She glanced at her daughter, not knowing what her daughter was thinking at all, and said, "You can go, try to go as little as possible to avoid gossiping."

"Yes, the best Empress," Zhao Niannu lay in Concubine Miao's arms, acting coquettish.

At present, Zhao Niannu is still a good baby, filial to his parents. Zhao Zhen was unhealthy and served him, personally washed his feet for Zhao Zhen, begging God to replace his father with his own body.

Therefore, when he was in his prime, Zhao Zhen still did not want to marry his eldest daughter.

But Concubine Miao had the idea of ​​Concubine Miao, and her husband had no children, which made her feel a little worried. Now that the Zheng family is full of daughters, there is little taboo to go there, and there is also a guardian knight who will go occasionally, which will be beneficial to her daughter in the future.

Zhao Niannu happily left her mother's bedroom and walked out, only Liang Huaiji was behind her and looked sad.

When he walked to the lotus pond, he met a beautiful young woman. Zhao Niannu shouted affectionately: "Cousin."

The young woman bent down and gave a blessing and said, "I have seen Your Highness the Princess."

"No need to be polite, cousin," Zhao Niannu took her hand affectionately.

The young woman is Gao Taotao that Zheng Lang often thinks of.

Zhao Zhen had no son for a long time, so he adopted Zhao Yunrang's son Zhao Zongshi in the palace and adopted another woman, Empress Cao's niece, Gao Taotao. The two were about the same age and were childhood sweethearts. Until Zhao Zhen gave birth to a second son and lived for a long time, Zhao Zhen thought it was safe and just in case that happened, he sent Zhao Zongshi back to the palace. But soon the second son died and the third son died.

Zhao Zhen was worried and said to Empress Cao: "Zong Shi and Taotao we adopted in the past are both big. We will marry them. What do you think?"

It's far from being a marriage leader.

Empress Cao thought for a long time and finally agreed.

Therefore, there is a saying among the people that the emperor marrys a wife (daughter-in-law) and the queen marrys a daughter.

The wedding was very lively, and Zhao Zongshi was brought to the palace.

Empress Cao grew up in the palace since she was a child and had a good relationship with Zhao Niannu (Shenzhen Emperor Yingzong of Song Dynasty continued to add titles to the crazy Zhao Niannu because of this). As the two were talking, Zhao Niannu suddenly said, "Cousin. I won't talk with you anymore, I want to leave the palace."

“Where to go?”

Zhao Niannu hesitated for a while and replied, "I want to go to the Duke of Chu's mansion and ask his concubine for calligraphy."

"Okay, I heard that Cui is a woman and a famous talented woman. Please take me with you."

The princess of the Tang Dynasty were the most unrestrained. They set up a public office outside the palace, interacted with ministers and scholars, and recited poems and essays. In the Song Dynasty, they gradually became rigorous. The emperor often summoned ministers to discuss matters in the inner palace, but no ministers were strictly prohibited from entering the harem.

However, Neo-Confucianism is not yet popular. The concept of chastity is far less serious than that of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The most powerful one is the Shangyuan Festival. Some young men and women take the opportunity to engage in wild marriages. If you take a closer look, under some bridge piers or in some secluded woods, as long as the yamen runners are sent to search on the night of Shangyuan Festival, some wild men and women can be found.

Therefore, unmarried princesses can also leave the palace. Some noble people in the palace mostly burn incense and worship Buddha or visit relatives. They are not allowed to interact with any ministers. Even if Zhao Niannu, who was young, wanted to meet Zheng Lang, Zheng Lang was frightened at that time.

This custom is completely different from that among the people.

Compared with the inner palace, the folk customs of the Northern Song Dynasty still retained some shadows from the late Tang Dynasty, and even women could go to private schools to study and go to school. This is also the place where the royal family of the Song Dynasty was proud of. The royal family of the Tang Dynasty was very high, and the royal family of the Song Dynasty was much quieter.

The reason for this is that even if Zheng Lang is not at home, his daughter's trip to Zheng's family will be beneficial to her daughter and even to her future. Concubine Miao hesitated for a long time.

But Gao Taotao has a different identity. She is not a real concubine or a crown princess, and her identity is ambiguous. As a crown princess, you must not go to the Zheng family. As an ordinary princess, it is not a bad idea to meet occasionally between ladies. You can go. It’s okay to say you can’t go. It depends on how you position Zhao Zongshi.

But is it really the case?

Zhao Niannu hesitated.

Gao Taotao said again: "Your Highness, I am also anxious in the palace. It is a rare opportunity to take me with you."
To be continued...
