Li Zhang was on duty at the gate again, and when he saw Xu Ping coming over and checked the edict, he took him straight to the Chongzheng Palace.

Today is a discussion of politics, a call by divine decree, not an exclusive one, and the procedure is much simpler.

Entering the Chongzheng Palace, Xu Ping swept it out of the corner of his eye and found that the people from the two prefectures were basically there. There is also his boss, Cheng Lin, the third envoy, and several Hanlin bachelors next to him, who are the only Taiwanese officials who are in the limelight.

stepped forward to see the salute, Zhao Zhen said: "Give a seat." ”

Xu Ping saw that everyone was sitting and discussing, and he was not hypocritical, so he sat down at the bottom.

The deliberations of the hall and the side hall are relatively casual, unlike the early dynasties, and ordinary people really can't stand up without practice.

Xu Ping sat down, Zhao Zhen looked at Lu Yijian, who was at the top, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Ping, I summoned you here today, because you have been in Yongzhou for many years, and you are familiar with civil affairs, military and politics. Today, Guangnan West Road and Yongzhou are all on the chapter to discuss the governance of Yongzhou in the future, and you have an advisor. ”

Xu Ping got up and replied.

Xu Ping sat down, and others stopped paying attention to him, continuing the previous discussion. It seems that he is really here today to prepare the advisers to the ministers, and he is not qualified to participate in the discussion.

The pavilion is a place for the imperial court to store materials, and many emperors will deliberately let them participate in the discussion, after all, Xu Ping has the Zhishi Museum on his head, even if he puts aside his identity as the former principal of Yongzhou, it is not abrupt to come. Instead, it seems a bit of a bully to limit his role to being a consultant and not participate in the actual discussion.

Among the two governments, except for the privy envoy Wang Shu, who was unwell and asked for leave, all the others arrived.

Xu listened quietly for a while, and already understood what was being discussed today. Since he practiced the law in Yongzhou, he also occupied Menzhou and Langzhou, and pacified Guangyuan Prefecture, Yongzhou has a place of nearly 1,000 miles and hundreds of thousands of household registrations. In the Frontierlands as a state is too large and must be divided and conquered. But how to divide it, the Privy Council and the Zhongshu Sect are at loggerheads and do not give in to each other.

There are basically three opinions in this room. The Zhongshu was headed by Lu Yijian, who believed that there was no need to change too much, and only a few important places needed to be promoted to the state army. It's good to choose a competent person to be the second long. The Privy Council firmly believed that this was not enough to cope with the current situation in Yongzhou, and was neither conducive to the preservation nor the development. He advocated the construction of a military road in the land of Yongzhou and the two prefectures of Qin and Lian, and elected the ministers of the DPRK and China as the commanders, and transferred the forbidden troops to go, and the selection of the Suzhou will be deployed and opened up to the south.

Because Yongzhou cane sugar belongs to the third division, and Xu Ping used the cane sugar business to develop Yongzhou, Cheng Lin, the envoy of the third division, was also called to participate in the discussion. Cheng Lin arrived. The third opinion was formed. It is indispensable for Yongzhou to raise several state armies in situ, but it still uses the original method of Xu Ping, based on the cane sugar business, unites all localities, and uses the minister to raise the cane sugar business, and annexes Jiaozhi to the south.

In terms of departmental status, Zhongshu is in an absolute advantage, but Yongzhou is a border land. The Privy Council did not let go, and compared to Cheng Lin, it seemed weak. But the attitude is Cheng Lin's most radical. He even said that he could temporarily leave the three envoys and go to Yongzhou to raise the sugar business, and in a few years, he would take Jiaozhi County and his land.

The real power of the three divisions is too great, although they are subordinate to the Zhongshu sect, but there are often situations where the prime minister cannot control the three envoys. Let the three divisions preside over the recovery of Jiaozhi, once the matter comes true. The two mansions are afraid that they will become three mansions, and the governor can no longer control the three divisions. In response to Cheng Lin, Zhongshu and the Privy Council joined forces to suppress the three divisions together.

As for the Hanlin Bachelor, he just helped to come up with ideas. and does not participate in the formation of decisions.

Xu Ping watched coldly, coupled with his understanding of the political situation these days, he understood the current camp in the palace.

Under the Zhongshu Sect, the second prime minister Lu Yijian was the leader, and the governor Wang Sui and Song Shou had always been attached to him, and the three of them were the main force in the Zhongshu dispute. The two who came forward to argue were involved in politics, and Lu Yi said relatively little, but they all gave strong support to the two at critical times. Prime Minister Li Di and Governor Yan Shu were relatively silent, but they did not hold Lu Yijian back.

Before the Privy Councillor Wang Shu arrived, the Privy Council lost a little momentum first. The three deputy envoys, Wang Deyong is a military general, although he is famous all over the world, he has always been cautious, and he basically does not open his mouth about this kind of thing. The other two deputy envoys, Li Shi and Cai Qi, both rose from the position of the third envoy to the chief executive, and Li Shi also received Xu Ping's sugar shop. Li Shi and Cai Qi are both famous for their officials, and more importantly, neither of them has a party, and they have ideas for doing things, and they bite the bullet and do not give in.

Although Cheng Lin is lonely, the departmental relationship with Li Shi and Cai Qi is still there, although the two oppose Cheng Lin from the interests of the department, they are still closer to each other personally.

Of the three Hanlin scholars, Zhang Dexiang has always been close to Lu Yijian, and he mostly talks to help him. The other two Feng Yuan and Sheng Du are relatively independent, and their attitudes are actually similar to those of Prime Minister Li Di, each of them does not help each other, and seeks truth from facts.

This situation is actually a continuation of Lu Yijian's party and the Queen Mother's party a few years ago, but the Queen Mother's party has fallen, and Zhao Zhen found some ministers who did not attach themselves to the party in previous years to take the position of the Queen Mother's party. In terms of numbers, it was naturally Lu Yijian who was at a disadvantage, but the people of his faction were united, and the momentum prevailed.

Of course, at this time, there was another major force in the DPRK and China, that is, the Taiwan forces led by Kong Daofu and Fan Zhongyan, but they were not allowed to participate in this kind of specific policy decision, and they only needed to make good use of people.

Several ministers quarreled with each other, but they still had their own opinions, and there was no result.

Zhao Zhen reluctantly asked everyone to stop, looked at Xu Ping and said, "Xu Ping, you can understand the words of the ministers, but what do you have to say?" You have been in charge of Yongzhou for many years, and you should have another invention in this kind of political affairs. ”

Xu Ping got up and replied cautiously: "In the major affairs of the DPRK and China, the status of the micro-minister is humble, and he does not dare to speak falsely. However, I just listened to what you said, and there are still many ambiguities about the geography and human feelings of Yongzhou. The border land of Yongzhou, the mountains and rivers are undulating, and the Han barbarians are mixed, so you can't look at it in Zhongyuan County. The major policies of the imperial court must be related to the stability of the place for decades, and it is better to be cautious. ”

Zhao Zhen secretly sighed in his heart, this upstart of the court has a lot to do with him, and he has made great contributions, he has been promoted too fast recently, but he is as young as himself, for fear that the young man will be sharp and say indecent things. Zhao Zhen knew that he was young, and he generally did not dare to make his own decisions on national affairs, so he mostly convened the ministers to discuss, and the opinions of the ministers of the court were the mainstay. Listening to Xu Ping's words, he was cautious, and he also highlighted his strengths of being familiar with the local situation, so he could be relieved.

Zhao Zhen looked at the ministers sitting and said to Xu Ping: "In this case, you can talk about the geography of Yongzhou, be concise, let the ministers know in their hearts, and then make a decision." ”

Xu Ping promised, looked left and right, and said to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, in a hurry, I can't understand it with just one mouth." Please also give me some paper and ink, I can draw the mountains and rivers on the paper, so that I can speak thoroughly. ”

"It's okay, let's stop for the time being, and the ministers will use some tea. Xu Ping, you go over there and draw. (To be continued.) )
