"This official Hanlin Bachelor, the subordinate servant Zhang Dian Zhang Zi is thick!" This one is even tougher than Wang Anshi, and he didn't wait for others to introduce him, and he reported his name.

"Long admiration and long admiration ......" Hearing this name, Hong Tao immediately put away the strength of the hippie smile, he is another cow man, and he is still a civil and military all-rounder.

No need to be introduced by others, Zhang Dian's name Hong Tao can also be remembered. During the period of Song Zhezong and Song Huizong, this monopoly of power beat Western Xia and Tubo enough, and also did a particularly upright thing, that is, he resolutely opposed Zhao Ji, the king of Liduan, as the prince, and for this reason, he also had a very stiff quarrel with the Empress Dowager Xiang.

History proves that he is still very accurate in seeing people, Zhao Ji is the later Song Huizong, if there is no blind tossing and turning of this literary emperor, the Northern Song Dynasty may not have perished prematurely.

However, Zhang Dian is not very suitable for politics in terms of personality, he is more talented, and he can do things and succeed, but he is too strong and conceited, and he must do whatever he thinks is right, and as long as he thinks it is wrong, he will do whatever it takes to obstruct it.

In terms of enforcing the law, he was also completely different from the literati at that time, advocating strict punishment and strict law, and directly picking the hamstrings when he caught the thief, which was very much the style of a legalist, so he also offended many colleagues.

In history, all dynasties and generations have had mixed reviews of this powerful minister, and even listed him and Qin Hui as a great traitor, and Song Shili also had a very low evaluation of him. But just look at what he did, and then follow the general logic, it seems that this is not all the case.

It can only be said that this prime minister has too strong personality, is too tough, and offends too many people, and no one likes him very much from top to bottom. Together with Wang Anshi, who is a reformist, he finally turned against him, the reason is very simple, as long as someone makes a mistake, he will be punished, even if the other party is Wang Anshi's own brother, and the grace of knowing the encounter cannot be opened.

But no matter what others say or think, Zhang Dian himself disagreed, Wang Anshi's reform was later abolished, and Zhang Dian moved back by himself.

As for saying that some people in the Southern Song Dynasty blamed Zhang Duan for provoking the Liao people to go south, and the failure to have good diplomatic relations with the Jin State led to the destruction of the Northern Song Dynasty, it sounds so useless.

The art of national diplomacy is of course important, but if a big country has reached the point where it must rely on diplomacy to avoid destroying the country, then this big country should be destroyed, and the black pot really can't be blamed on Zhang Dun's head.

"Independence is the king's saying that the lower officials will never dare to be the officials, if you want to talk about who has the ability in the border army, it is more likely to pull any one than the minister, they all rebelled, and the minister did not have the courage."

Since you know what kind of temperament this person probably has, Hong Tao simply doesn't go around in circles with him, don't you recognize reason and don't recognize people? Well, let's convince people with reason today.

As long as you convince this one, you can get a strong reinforcement. Even if he and Su Shi are close friends, and he is a cousin with the new Xihe Road Envoy Zhang Qi, and he is the backbone of the reformers, but in the face of the truth, he has to pinch his nose to help himself speak.

What do you mean by that? The horse is an allusion to the fact that His Majesty's ministers are all chaotic ministers and thieves, but you are the only one who is loyal to you! "It is worthy of being a commodity that people don't want to see dogs, Zhang Dan's words are really not good, bitter and mean, and every sentence is straight to the point, leaving no room for it.

"The lower officials believe that loyalty is not innate, but forced by circumstances...... Your Majesty, I beg your pardon! "When it comes to this issue, Hong Tao may not be more popular than Zhang Dian, but he is thick-skinned, so he has to block the emperor's mouth first.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it......" Emperor Shenzong rolled his eyelids and continued to read the chapter, not intending to interfere in the fight between these two sharp-toothed courtiers. This kind of confrontation is exactly what he wants to see, and it is best to have a comparable situation where no one can be convinced, so that he, the emperor, has the opportunity to be a referee.

"The adults said that rebellion, rebellion, and independence are feasible for others, but officials can't do it, for four reasons. First, the families of the lower officials are all in Gyeonggi, and it is not a good character to abandon his wife for the sake of power ambitions. Second, the subordinates are all loyal to His Majesty, and Shu has never deliberately concealed anything from them, and his every move is in the eyes of His Majesty. Third, the lower officials have no army to rely on, and the new army is His Majesty's new army, which resists foreign captives as a division of tigers and wolves, and struggles for power and profit. Fourth, the lower officials have no friends to rely on, and looking at the central government, more than half of them are looking forward to the defeat and death of the soldiers every day, and more than half of them are waiting for the demotion of the officials to be condemned. Zhang Xiang is full of poetry and books, is there a precedent in history for a lonely man to rebel? ”

Since Hong Tao dared to say that he would not rebel, there must be a particularly strong reason. No, first came four o'clock, and everyone in the hall put down the music in their hands and stared at him in unison.

It's really shameless, and I really dare to tell the truth, these four points are all things that can be done and can't be said, and they all turned out to be clean.

“…… Zhangdun, do you recognize what Wang Shu said? Emperor Shenzong, who had planned to watch the excitement on the side, also put down the music in his hand, and the muscles on his face twitched. Okay, you Wang Xu, you actually used the court as a vegetable market to quarrel, and even I went around it, and I almost scolded my ancestors for eight generations!

However, the emperor was really good-tempered, stretched out his hand to stop Pei Ying's action of stepping forward to scold, and took a deep breath to see how Zhang Dian responded. Since everything has been said about this, there must be a winner or loser, otherwise it will not be scolded in vain.

"There is one thing that the ministers dare not agree with, the new army can wipe out all the elites of Western Xia with thousands of enemies, if they mint coins by themselves, when the time comes, which forbidden army can resist? It's hard for a colt to be a three-year-old child! ”

Far from being stopped by the horse's words, he became excited, and his eyes shone brightly, a bit like an aggressive rooster, and he suddenly found another powerful fellow of his kind, and he had to tell the winner.

"Zhang Xiang, I have to say that your understanding of the New Army is still only at the level of words and folklore. This question is too simple, and the lower officials feel that Pei Zhonggui can answer it, and asks His Majesty to agree...... "Hong Tao is not a good stubble, just be reasonable, where is there so much nonsense, squeeze each other, right, come, see who is thick-skinned!"

"Pei Ying, you come to tell Zhang Xiang why Wang Xu's new army can't make trouble." There is a more detailed reason than this, Emperor Shenzong has already heard the horse talk about it, in fact, he doesn't need the horse to talk about it, and he knows in his heart that the most unlikely person to rebel at present is his brother-in-law.

But it is not enough to know it alone, all the laws and regulations of the Great Song Dynasty must be agreed by the prime minister, otherwise they are not official decrees, which is what he hates the most.

"The benefits of the new army are in the armor and sharp weapons, but the things used by the new army are all produced in Weiqiao Town, Jingzhao Prefecture and Jinming Pond in Kaifeng, and are escorted by the forbidden army

…… Do you want to listen to it again? ”

Pei Ying scolded in her heart, why did you a group of immortals fight and mix me in. The horse is crazy, and a few of you humerus ministers are also sick, so do you want to show face when you say it so explicit in front of the emperor!

"Your Majesty, as far as the ministers know, there are Wujin Lines in Huangzhou and Liangzhou......"

Zhang Dian didn't even raise his eyelids, controlling the logistics of the new army can indeed stifle the combat effectiveness of the horses, but he thinks that since the Wujin Bank was built by the horses, there will definitely be ways to deal with it, such as the Ming Dynasty repairing the plank road and secretly Chen Cang and other things.

“…… Huangzhou lacks carboniferous and Liangzhou lacks iron ore, and the two places together are not as good as one-tenth of the output of Weiqiao Town. ”

Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him again, Pei Ying had to act as a microphone again, saying what should have been said by the horse or the emperor with his own mouth. This job looks simple but is actually very difficult, not only to speak relatively neutrally, but also to express the emperor's meaning clearly.

Fortunately, he had already heard these words once, and if the emperor did not have this mind, he would not have specially summoned the ministers to come to discuss. It's not so much asking for everyone's opinions, but asking the ministers to help find fault with them.

It's a pity that the fault that Zhang Dian picked up was a bit low-level, and the emperor and the concubine were not willing to bother to explain. This is not to say that Zhang Dun's IQ is not enough, he has only been the head of the deputy prime minister for a short time, he has been serving in the local government before, and he knows relatively little about the horses and the new army.

"So as long as Weiqiao Town is controlled, the Huangzhou New Army will become rootless duckweed?" After Pei Ying's two explanations, Zhang Duan finally understood, but his reaction was a bit hateful, and he was actually happy.
