"Why? Why do you have to choose the most dangerous path?" Zhao Zheng asked calmly, as if the tens of thousands of troops in Bianzhou had nothing to do with him at this time.
Lang Tan lifted up his sleeves and pointed at the mottled wounds on his arms and said: "There are some wounds on the arms, some on the chest, and the thighs were stabbed by Nong Zhigao's soldiers with spears, and they have not healed yet.
But these are not important. What is important is that for many years in the Song Dynasty, our territory has not increased, and our army has not wandered around other people's countries. They all say that this is not the norm for a big country. The so-called big country must constantly expand
Find the most delicious food from places outside your own country. Only in this way can you fatten yourself. This is the so-called horse without night and grass without fattening.
Your Majesty wants money to add equipment to the army, money to relieve the victims, and money to rebuild the canal. The embankment of the Yellow River is now higher than the city wall of Kaifeng, and money is also needed to regulate the river.
Some time ago, I heard someone say that if the people don’t increase their wealth, the country will use it enough. This sentence scared us all. This person didn’t even understand where the money came from, so he said such a sentence that made everyone tremble.
, I don’t know who gave him such courage, but the supervisor said that the ignorant are really fearless!
When the governor heard that your majesty was going to take the words of the liquor tax collector seriously, he couldn't sit still. Your majesty is full of holes now and needs money to fill them. Instead of letting that man's words poison the world, why not let Wu Shengjun take care of Jiaozhi for you?
It’s much safer to move the treasury back.”
After Lang Tan said these words, he prostrated himself on the ground, put his head on the ground, and said nothing.
Zhao Zhen's hands were shaking so much that he couldn't even hold the teacup. He dropped the teacup on the gold bricks with a clang. When he saw Lang Tan lying on the ground without saying a word, he took two long breaths and said angrily: "You can't listen to what Wang Anshi said, can't you?
Will you be able to listen if you are all in prison?"
Lang Tan didn't say a word, still lying there, but the blue veins popping up on his hands fully demonstrated how angry he was at this time. He studied economics with Yun Zheng, and Wang Anshi's words are the way of nature.
What are the consequences of "the people don't add wealth but the country uses enough"? A pot is only so big. I don't want to put the pot into the big pot, but I want to take some dry things from other people's bowls and pour them into my own bowl.
, the only way to save money is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. What’s the point of demolishing the east wall to pay for the west wall?
"What does a warrior know about money and gifts?" Zhao Zhen gritted his teeth and said this. He has always been kind, and the man in front of him was a hero who conquered for him, so he was unwilling to punish and would rather vent his anger on himself.
On the body.
"Your Majesty is ridiculous. Wu Sheng's military generals are not pure warriors in the first place. The ministers and others think that they can conquer the countryside for Your Majesty by mounting their horses and carrying their spears, and they can guard the surrounding areas for Your Majesty by dismounting their horses. Leading the army to fight is just a whim. On the day of returning to the capital
, that is when Wei Chen and others took off their armor and picked up their pens to participate in the great competition. At that time, Wei Chen really wanted to meet the person who said that the people did not increase the wealth but the country used it enough to make a good judgment on whether he was right or we were wrong.
Got it!"
Zhao Zhen laughed angrily: "You really think highly of yourselves! You treat the world's talents as if they are nothing."
Lang Tan lay on the ground and laughed: "Yun Dujian once said something. He said that we are literati with swords. If we can't talk to others, we can go into battle with the sword and knock him down. No matter how good we are,
If you reason with him, Weichen will be convinced."
Zhao Zhen's eyes were as big as copper bells, and he said after a long time: "This is a rogue, a gangster!"
Lang Tan said with a smile: "Wei Chen also said this to the Du Supervisor. The Du Supervisor said that facts speak louder than words, so Wei Chen followed Du Supervisor all the way to watch him use this method to organize the army and watch him use this method to suppress the bandits.
, watching him use this method to fight, but Wei Chen finally discovered that our Song Dynasty suffered because of too many gentlemen. They only knew how to reason with others, but did not know how to use their own force to conquer, so our Song Dynasty was defensive everywhere.
, and fighting continues everywhere.
The governor is planning to take advantage of the favorable time and place and the favorable opportunity for us to completely extinguish the war in the southern part of the Song Dynasty for at least thirty years. Now Wu Sheng's army is waiting under Wuchao City. Please give your Majesty's order. The ministers and others will surely
Return with a full load!”
Zhao Zhen found it difficult to get angry with people like Wu Shengjun. He had already come to the conclusion that these people were just a group of smart hooligans. The most frightening thing was that he himself envied these hooligans very much. They didn't care about military power.
I don’t care about my official position, I live a wonderful life every day, and I have such a sense of accomplishment every day.
He was almost certain that even if these people returned to Chengdu and became white-collar workers, they would live a prosperous life without worries, be able to live freely, and live happily, so that they could live up to their time in this world.
No wonder a small soldier dares to make a deal with his emperor. The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. But even if these people go to Jiaozhi, they will not suffer any big losses, right? There is a lot of gold in Jiaozhi, so Nong Zhigao dedicated a piece to Li Chao.
There are more than one hundred taels of raw gold... If we can really seize Cochin's treasury...
"You go to the hotel to rest first, I will make my own decision!" Zhao Zhen still issued the eviction order.
After Lang Tan kowtowed heavily, he was led out of the Chui Gong Hall by Zou Tong. Looking at the setting sun on the horizon, he felt empty in his stomach. Since his mission had been completed, it was a good time to see the prosperity of the capital. Those
The bastard must have changed his clothes and is waiting for him outside the palace gate...
After Lang Tan left, Zhao Zhen said to the back of the screen: "How is it? How is this person? How is Wu Shengjun, whom you long to see?"
Empress Cao held a fat baby in her arms and Mrs. Lin walked out from behind the screen and said: "Military and national affairs are not something that I and my sister Shu Fei can decide. It's in vain for you to ask. There are all those who can help you make decisions."
We are eating and drinking in the front hall.
I came here to see if what Cao Rong said was true, and if Wu Shengjun was really as tough as he said. Now I know that even a small Yuhou can talk eloquently in front of you, Yun Zheng
Not to mention, although Cao Rong is an idiot and relies on you as his brother-in-law to support him, he still has a good eye for judging people. If he messes up, you can teach him how to teach him a lesson, but this time
You will never forget your recommendation."
Zhao Zhen took his fat son from the queen's arms and rubbed his forehead against the child's bald head affectionately. When he saw the child smiling at him with his mouth open and drooling, his depressed mood just now improved in an instant.
Looking at Mrs. Lin's bulging chest, she smiled and said, "It seems that I have to raise this child by myself. At this age, he already weighs more than ten kilograms. He is heavy in his arms. Haha, the emperor is one month old."
Didn't you see the old face of King Pu at that time? Haha, it was as black as ink. That day, I only had to look at King Pu and my appetite was whetted, hahaha."
Lin Lanlan blushed with embarrassment, took the child from Huang Di's hand and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is so smart, you were so quiet in your arms just now. Knowing that you were discussing national affairs, you didn't even say a word.
I thought he would cry a lot.
Your Majesty, this concubine Lang Tanchen knows his reputation. He was a famous talent as early as when he was in Shuzhong. He was also on the list of the Apricot Blossom Party and Peach Blossom Party held by celebrities in Shuzhong."
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Good people have been taught to be rogues by Yun Zheng. You also heard what he said. They are literati with swords. If they can't talk to others, they can also go into battle with swords.
After beating him down, try to reason with him again.
This is a real scoundrel!"
Queen Cao smiled and said: "Look at the Xixia and Khitan people who are not using tricks in front of you. The more upright ministers in the court are not coming back disgraced by others. This is just the time. You
There are also some rogues among my subordinates, and they are some smart rogues. If there are any embarrassing things, let them deal with them. The rogues will always be superior to the rogues."
The queen took out a few assorted side dishes from a food box brought by an eunuch, and then took out a large bowl of wontons and placed them in front of Zhao Zhen and said: "These are the wontons made by Concubine Shu herself. They are stuffed with pork. Concubine."
I have tried it myself and it tastes really good. I never thought that these low-grade ingredients can be delicious."
Zhao Zhen nodded. Lang Tan's words just now had already made him think twice, and the big stone in his heart was settled. At this time, he was in a good mood and started eating wontons with side dishes.
It is said that everything goes well with a son. Zhao Zhen peeped at Mrs. Lin breastfeeding her son while eating. The queen deliberately blocked the emperor's view and said with a sneer: "You eat wontons, the rest belong to King Zhao Xu of Shu and have nothing to do with you."
Zhao Zhen raised his head and laughed. Lin shyly hugged the child and turned sideways, deliberately covering her clothes to cover her naked chest.
Nowadays, eating in the palace is Zhao Zhen's greatest enjoyment. In addition to visiting his son every day, he spends most of his time staying in the queen's palace. He is not very fond of women.
The concubine was purely concerned about heirs. Now that he already had a son, he became ambitious and wanted more sons. His main targets were the Queen and the Lin family, as well as the adult concubines in the palace...
At sunset, discussions resumed in Chui Gong Hall. Zhao Zhen did not take out Di Qing's secret memorial, but quoted the words in it and said to his ministers: "My husband is the way of a general. If the military well is not drained, the general will not express his thirst."
; The general will not say he is hungry before the food is cooked; the general will not say it is cold before the weapons are ready; the general will not say he is tired before the army curtain is laid. He does not fan the fan in summer, and does not open the cover when it rains, so he is the same as the others. Di Qing is indeed a famous general in the Song Dynasty.
, all the things he thinks about are good strategies for the country and the people.
Nowadays, the national situation is difficult. As a general, it is natural to share the country's worries and attack the Dali Kingdom. It is imperative to do so. Duan Silian has secretly invited Di Qing to join the Dali Kingdom. Therefore, I intend to allow Di Qing to return to Chengdu via Dali. I don't know how you love it.
What do you think, sir?"
Han Qi came out of the squad and said: "Di Qing's decision to visit Dali is naturally justified, but he doesn't know where Wu Sheng's army will go. Are they planning to use Dali as well?"
Zhao Zhen smiled mysteriously and said: "The last decree I gave Wu Shengjun was clear. They still act cheaply!"
Pang Ji was horrified and said: "Your Majesty, those people are all tigers and wolves, how can there be no restraints!" The emperor's words immediately removed all the restraints Pang Ji and Han Qi had placed on Wu Shengjun. (To be completed.
