Chapter 172: Only when you can fight can you make peace
"What Yongning Hou said is extremely true! This dynasty is the kingdom of heaven, how can a clown of Fanbang be taken away! This time, I dare to send a detailed work to this dynasty to investigate the geography of mountains and rivers, and next time I will dare to attack the prefectures and counties and plunder the people! ”
Seeing that Liu Ping's spirits were greatly lifted, Xu Ping said lightly: "The army attacked Chaozhou County and plundered the people, and Zhao Yuanhao of the party has done it many times. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Every time, he admits his mistake, and the court is just responsible! ”
Lu Yijian coughed and looked at Zhang Shixun who was sitting on the other side.
Zhang Shixun understood and said to Xu Ping: "You are still young after all, you only want to do things with your will, what the two ministers said just now is the old man who seeks the country!" The Khitan is in the north, and hundreds of thousands of troops are pressing the border all year round, how can they start a war in the northwest again? How does the court support the soldiers and horses needed, the money and food needed? For today's plan, the only way to do this is to stabilize the party and slowly figure it out. Otherwise, the Khitan will inevitably take the opportunity to blackmail, what should I do at that time? ”
Xu Ping had to sigh again: "Cardinal, what you said is not wrong, stabilize the party, and slowly figure it out." However, now I only see the stabilization of the party, and even at the expense of tolerating and conniving, and letting Yuan Hao slap the mouth of the court, where are the four characters of Xu Xu Tu? To tell the truth, only the Xu Xu Tuzhi in the back can sit down, and the front of the party is the old Cheng Mouguo! If there is no thing to do slowly, why is the party stable? ”
Zhang Shixun suddenly changed color: "The plan of the imperial court, you are just a deputy envoy of the third division, what do you know!" If the respect of the country above this dynasty is shown to the party, they will inevitably be grateful to Dade, and how can they set up arson and rebel! ”
Xu Ping couldn't help but shake his head and sneered: "What if Yuan Hao is not grateful to Dade?" So what to do? Since he succeeded to the throne, the number of raids on the border has become more and more serious, and each time it has become more serious. In the party, the Fanhu official system was reformulated, and the people were greatly expanded into the army, and even the era name of this dynasty was not even used! Although I am only a deputy envoy of the Third Division, these are things that are well known to the world, and I have heard of them. Turning a blind eye, covering his ears and stealing the bell, once Yuan Hao reverses in the future, how to deal with it? ”
I remembered that in my previous life, there was such a small force as Dangxiang, and when they were shooting and shooting every day, they just knew that their hearts were towards the motherland. When you put your face up and tried to influence them with your grace, the boss's ear scrapers came up one after another. It's very simple, you can endure beating you, the more you beat me, the better it is, why don't I fight?
Everything is in my hands, thunder and rain and dew, nothing more than Jun'en, don't let them understand this, what are you going to make up?
Xu Ping knew in his heart that Zhang Shixun could not be blamed for the matter, he was a privy envoy and must speak from the position of the Privy Council. What Xu Ping said, did he really not understand? It's not that I don't understand, I can't do it. It is easy to give favors to the party to stabilize it, but it is difficult to slowly figure it out, and the current Privy Council does not have this ability at all. is beyond his ability, even if he understands in his heart that Zhang Shixun also has to pretend to be stupid.
The entire bureaucratic system, by this time, has become unbreakable, like a spider web, and the officials who come in have to lie on their stomachs honestly on the Internet. Such a system habitually makes everything they encounter a daily affair of signing a sentence, and they will instinctively reject things that break through the convention.
Obviously, it is impossible to do it in accordance with the convention. Therefore, the strategy set by the prime minister sounds fine, but when it comes to specific implementation, it will be eaten half and spit out half by the specific work.
Zhang Shixun was so angry that Xu Ping's face flushed, but he had no words to refute. In fact, as is customary for bureaucrats, there is no need to refute either. I don't need your consent to do things, and I don't care about your objections, so why refute them?
Xu Ping didn't have any expression, in fact, he himself was a little numb. In the face of the extremely stubborn bureaucratic system, he himself has struggled, and even after a large-scale personnel change, it is still not easy for the Third Division to do things.
If you say to the official who is doing the work, this should be done in this way, the official will immediately tell you what it is like according to the convention, in what year and in what month, in which edict or edict of the imperial court, or which governor has decided that this kind of thing should be done. If you say, leave those conventions alone and do what I say. Well, the official will never argue with you, turn around and do as you say. However, if you don't instruct what happens later, he won't do it, because you said don't care about the old routine. Then there are a large number of things stuck in this yamen, and official documents are piled up.
No matter how smart you are, when you first come to this kind of yamen, you have to have a big head.
Strong officials often revise regulations after taking office, such as the "Three Divisions Regulations" and the "Jingde Farmland Edict" that Ding Wei rebuilt. Without these regulations, the yamen would be paralyzed.
Xu Ping's current problem is that the re-revision of the ordinance has caused a backlash, and some people think that he is the second Ding. If we don't revise the regulations, doing things is like trekking through a muddy field, and one step at a time is as difficult as one step.
Whether it is Zhang Shixun or Li Shi, they are not the kind of stupid and incompetent officials, but if they are stuffed into the Privy Council together, the Privy Council is still the extremely incompetent yamen.
Fan Zhongyan was under tremendous pressure to overthrow Lu Yijian, thinking that Lu Yijian's treachery was certainly one thing, but it was also related to his belief that Lu Yijian was the culprit who caused this situation.
Zhao Zhen's repeated elevation of the status of Taiwan's advisers is also related to his dissatisfaction and helplessness with this situation.
There is nothing that everyone can do, Xu Ping has only been back in Beijing for a year, what can he do?
Seeing the embarrassing situation, Wang Zeng said: "Xu Ping is in Yongzhou, facing Jiaozhi, with the power of a state to raise the national prestige of the imperial court, martial arts are unprecedented, and now the spirit is still there, this is the blessing of the imperial court." At that time, the southwest was not the party of today's northwest? It is also true that the Privy Council did not have a specific response. However, it is also difficult for the Privy Council to do what to do, and it is difficult for them to grasp the proportions. Why don't you do that, after this matter, how about the ministers meeting for discussion? ”
Lu Yijian said: "Wang Xianggong is reasonable, let's leave it for future discussions, and today I will talk about how to deal with the party's details." ”
What if there is an argument? Have a meeting. The meeting had a resolution, and it was implemented in accordance with the resolution, and Xu Ping was already very familiar with this process. Thousands of years later, isn't this still the way people are used to it?
Zhao Zhen looked at this, looked at that, and nodded silently.
During the time of Taizong, everything was out of the holy will, and the ministers were just receiving the holy decree. Now is not the time, let Zhao Zhen make a decision, he can't do it. Song Taizong's diligent administration can be ranked in the forefront of the entire ancient Chinese history, almost from dawn to late at night to deal with government affairs, every day, how can every emperor follow him to learn? Besides, Taizong was like that because he was not in the right position, there were a lot of rumors in the world at that time, and he was suspicious and suspicious, and he was not at ease with anyone, so he had to take the whole country into his own hands. Zhao Zhen can neither learn nor need. He has a ruler, an attendant, and a counselor, so why bother with everything?
If you don't understand the specific situation, you can't make a decision, but Zhao Zhen's mind is still clear.
Zhang Shixun sat down with a calm face, still angry. It's one thing to know that there is something wrong with your yamen, and it's another thing to be pointed out in public, this Xu Ping is not the first time to embarrass himself.
Should we be severely or lightly responsible for dealing with the party's meticulous work? This is a big issue related to the attitude of the imperial court towards the party, don't look at it as a tone problem, and you can't be sloppy at all.
Zhang Shixun said: "Now that the reverse of the party item has not been revealed, you just need to tell the envoy node the meaning of the words and let them understand." If the real minister is responsible, won't he tear his face? In the future, the envoys of the two countries will come and go, and there will be many inconveniences. ”
Liu Ping watched from the side, and saw that Xu Ping insisted on his opinion in front of the ministers, and he was not blamed, so he couldn't help but grow bold, and said with his hands crossed: "Cardinal envoy, the last general thinks that it is just a light responsibility, and it still can't touch the sore spot of the party, but it will boost their prestige." Things have come to this point, and they must be severely punished! ”
"The envoys of the two countries are constantly coming and going, and they are far from the point of exchanging troops, and the general of the three yas said more!"
Zhang Shixun was already angry with Xu Ping, and when he saw Liu Ping interjecting again, he was not polite at the moment.
The army can't interfere in politics, this is a national policy, as soon as Zhang Shixun's words came out, Liu Ping had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian didn't speak, and together with Zhao Zhen, they both looked at Xu Ping.
Xu Ping said slowly: "Send a detailed work to spy on the geography of the frontier, to put it seriously, you can be regarded as an enemy country, when the party is no longer willing to rebel, how can it be just a thin responsibility?" It's okay not to send a minister, Your Majesty only needs to send a servant Xiao Huangmen, hold the edict to reason, move it with affection, and let him know that this time he has violated Tianyan, and he can't ignore it! ”
Zhao Zhen looked at several ministers and said, "It's better to send ministers, it's not good to do this as me." If Yuan Hao suddenly wakes up this time, I can still mediate from it. ”
Xu Ping said with a smile: "Your Majesty Shengming, the house is kind-hearted, and he always wants to leave a way out for Zhao Yuanhao, a party item." If he knew His Majesty's hard work, he would definitely stop reining in the precipice and no longer act recklessly! ”
Lu Yijian also said: "The minister who went to reprimand must tell His Majesty's mind to the party." ”
As soon as these words came out, he basically agreed with Xu Ping's opinion, and Zhang Shixun couldn't say anything.
Xu Ping said again: "If it is inconvenient for the Privy Council to send a detailed work to the party for a while, then we will talk about it later." However, this time the matter cannot be so easily calculated. Your Majesty had better make an edict and order the envoy to bring it to Zhao Yuanhao and ask him to explain clearly why he sent a detailed work this time. Since he succeeded to the throne, what exactly has he done, and both inside and outside the DPRK, China and the Central Committee have said that the party will be opposed, and how can he explain it? I had no choice but to make an oath. ”
After Xu Ping finished speaking, he looked at the people in the hall and saw that no one spoke. Obviously, in their hearts, they felt that they had done too much, and they were worried about what to do if they accidentally reversed.
Xu Ping sighed secretly, the more you are afraid of him, the more he will rebel, is this really difficult to understand?
In the end, Xu Ping held the wat, looked at Liu Ping, and said to Zhao Zhen: "The minister agrees with what Taiwei Liu said, and sends a large army to the northwest border to suppress the party." As for the generals of the unified army, they can be discussed later. It's still the same sentence, everything is up to me, and I can fight to make peace. Did Zhao Deming really surrender? Looking at his life, he continued to expand his territory, but he also secretly rebelled. It's just that he is secretly rebelling and accumulating strength. Whether Zhao Yuanhao will rebel openly or secretly in the future depends on the court's response. (To be continued.) )
