Blowing on the body, but I don't feel a trace of coolness, and it makes people feel irritable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xu Ping followed Xiao Huangmen on the road to the palace, thinking about his thoughts, and he didn't know where he went.

The final result of the day was to respect the opinions of the deacons, and immediately recover the envoys of the party, and after entering the capital, the Privy Council came forward, sent a deputy envoy to take charge of the matter in person, and confiscated all the writing and paper. The privy deputy who came forward was also decided on the spot, and it was Wang Deyong. He is a military general, which can be regarded as an attitude to the party.

As for Xu Ping's suggestion of sending a detailed party to join the party and investigating the deployment of the party's military forces, they were still considered too hostile by the rulers, and they were afraid that Zhao Yuanhao would be forced to rebel at once, so they were vetoed. Zhao Zhen issued an edict to Zhao Yuanhao, accusing him and ordering him to explain the whole thing, but it was also vetoed, and the original letter was withdrawn instead, and he was awakened in the new letter of state.

Zhang Shixun did not dare to pat his chest and say that the party would not be reversed, and agreed to carry out a new military deployment and transfer 20,000 forbidden troops to Shaanxi Road and Hedong Road. As for the specific arrangement of military strength and the general commander of the army, we will discuss it later.

Xu Ping was very dissatisfied with this kind of disposal, and the decision-making level did not dare to make up his mind, and he was half-hearted, and he still couldn't solve the problem after all. It looks like it's exhaustive, but in fact, no problem can be solved. But there is no way, the policy inertia of the bureaucracy is very staggering, and it is simply impossible to turn them around at once. Unless an extremely serious incident occurs, the ground shakes, and the determination is made from the top, the big ship can turn around.

Zhao Zhen is actually not satisfied, but what can be done? No matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only pinch his nose and admit it. The court under his rule had already committed a serious bureaucratic disease, which could not be corrected at once. In fact, a lot of power, including some decision-making powers, is also not in his hands.

At this time, the power of a single prime minister is still very weak in front of the imperial power, but if the power of all the prime ministers is combined, the power of the prime minister is very large. Although it is not comparable to the Qin and Han dynasties, it is not bad at all compared with the Zhongshu men of the Tang Dynasty.

It was precisely because he was not satisfied with the results of the treatment that after he dispersed, Zhao Zhen asked Xu Ping to enter the palace at night for routine consultation. This is the routine work of the ministers, and if there are no advisers, how can they be called attendants?

After entering the Tianzhang Pavilion, Zhao Zhen gave a seat and gave tea and soup according to the routine.

Waiting for Xu Ping to sit down, Zhao Zhen asked, "It's been two months, how are you doing now?" ”

Xu Ping replied: "Your Majesty, I have recovered a little, but I still can't eat hot and cold sweet things." ”

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said, "In that case, you should rest at home." Take care of the affairs in the yamen, and you don't need to participate in the court meeting. - Now you just go to court every day, and you don't mean much. ”

Now there are no major events in the three divisions, and the really tricky affairs are precisely those trivialities. In the past few months, Xu Ping has basically retrained the officials of the three divisions, and the new regulations have been completed, but they are stuck in the Zhongshu and cannot be promulgated. However, the completion of the training does not mean that the entire yamen has been completely renewed.

The conflict between the old and the new has always been like this, the initial wind and fire, sweeping away all obstacles, thundering, ploughing and sweeping holes, watching the victory is really in hand. But when everything new comes into reality and goes deep into every corner, it will encounter the strongest and most stubborn obstacles. If you are not careful, these conservative forces accumulate from every pore, and the streams merge into rivers, setting off huge waves, and all previous efforts are destroyed.

If the Sansi Yamen is compared to a big tree, then the official level is the trunk of the tree, and the direction and process of reform are all under Xu Ping's complete control. But what really comes into contact with all aspects of society is precisely those branches and leaves, those small roots and whiskers underground. It is here that the new system will encounter the greatest resistance.

There is often a fierce contradiction between the new officials who have been trained to take up their posts, the requirements of the new system for them, and the requirements of the reality of the situation. A few days ago, the conflict between the three new shops and the magnates was just a trivial thing, and there were many such things.

Reform is like this, even if all the decisions are correct, it has gone from being vigorous at the beginning, to the difficult steps in the bottleneck period, and then to the smooth sailing after straightening out, and then to the new system after being adapted, it slowly moves towards the defense again, and slowly becomes a constraint, a force that hinders social development, and has to be reformed again.

Reform is absolute, not reform is relative, there is no perfect system in the world, this is also dialectic.

At the request of Zhao Zhen, Xu Ping was very diligent in his recital. From these movements, Zhao Zhen slowly became familiar with Xu Ping's ideas, and he was also affected, and he himself was inevitably affected by these ideas.

After eating the tea soup, Zhao Zhen said: "Let's not talk about this tonight, call you here, or ask the party about it." Today, I also saw that you and the courtiers do not agree with each other, and I want to hear what you think alone. ”

Xu Ping sorted out his thoughts for a while, looked up and said to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, if the minister says, Zhao Yuanhao of the party will definitely rebel in the future, I don't know if Your Majesty believes it or not?" ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned: "Do you really think that Yuan Hao will definitely rebel?" ”

"Yes, and I'm afraid it won't take long, at least three or five years, and no more than ten years. With today's events coming out, the imperial court will send some troops to the northwest, which may disrupt his deployment and delay it for a few years. ”

Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly: "This is this, why didn't you say it in the Chongzheng Hall during the day?" ”

"National events affect the whole body, and it is impossible to change the national policy because of one person's speculation. According to the current state of the Privy Council, they were really forced to shift the focus of their deployment from the north to the northwest, for fear that there would be chaos. If the originally calm Khitan was lucky, the north was also nervous, which was not good. Your Majesty still knows in his heart, and he will slowly adjust well in the past few years, and he will not achieve the best results, but there will be no major chaos. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and didn't say anything for a while. A few party items have already made the Privy Council scramble, and if they are forced to adjust their strategic deployment, they must indeed be careful of causing a big mess. Moreover, most of the generals in charge of the army in the current Sanya are still former ministers of the feudal mansion of the first emperor, and they are also facing personnel adjustments. A Liu Ping is just the beginning, and Zhao Zhen, the general in the army, will slowly be replaced, but the key is that there is no one available in his hands.

After being silent for a while, Zhao Zhen asked, "Why do you think that Dang Xiang Yuanhao will definitely be opposed?" ”

Because the history textbook of his previous life said ah, just by that short less than 100 words, he knew that he was not willing to be under others. Even if he takes a big risk, he will be desperate to get over the emperor's addiction.

But I couldn't say this to Zhao Zhen, Xu Ping said: "Your Majesty, although I don't know much about what Yuan Hao has done in the party in the past few years, I also know that he can't do it if he doesn't do it." Since Zhao Deming passed away and Yuan Hao succeeded to the throne, almost all the old ministers of the entire party were replaced by him with new ones, and the party official system also imitated the current dynasty and Khitan, and many of them were changed. Moreover, he ordered that no matter Hu Han in the territory, he would shave his hair, be easy to wear, and let people make party writing. I was in the Third Division, and what I did was far less intense than his, and there were all kinds of opposition forces that made people overwhelmed. It is said that Hu Ren is not very smart, but no matter how stupid he is, it is impossible to let him be so nonsense. At this time, there must be a lot of people who oppose Yuan Hao. How to deal with these opposing people and forces? Although Zhao Yuanhao is cunning, he has not heard of how meticulous he acts, so there is only one way to suppress these opposition forces, and that is to start a war with foreign countries. Either to the west, the spearhead is aimed at the Tibetan tribes and the land west of the river, in fact, the party has not stopped to open up there in recent years. If they continue to fight, they will not be able to fight even to the west. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Ping sighed: "In this way, as long as you suffer a defeat in Tubo and Hexi, the spearhead of the party's war can only point to the east, either Khitan or this dynasty." - Forgive the minister's words, as long as Zhao Yuanhao's brain is not broken, he will not provoke the Khitan, so he can only start a war against this dynasty. ”

Zhao Yuanhao is also facing serious internal contradictions, and they are even more serious than those of the Great Song Dynasty, which Xu Ping can conclude from the information he sees on a daily basis. The internal contradictions cannot be solved, only the external contradictions can be transferred, and the party's war pace cannot be stopped at all, and as soon as it stops, Zhao Yuanhao himself will die.

The various departments in Hexi and Tubo, and the local party projects that are easy to fight have basically been beaten, and now they are facing fighting in the Hehuang area. Judging from the information obtained, Zhao Yuanhao does not have an advantage over the Gulf, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, even if it is only a marginal area, that kind of geographical climate, Zhao Yuanhao will plant a big root sooner or later.

Once the pace of westward expansion is blocked, the time for the party's anti-Song can be counted. Zhao Yuanhao was simply not enough to fully control the party in a state of peace, and he had to take military risks and use his victories in foreign wars to suppress the opposition at home. And the best direction for military adventure is the Great Song Dynasty, who makes the Great Song Dynasty look easy to bully.

Don't speculate on the inner subjective thoughts of a ruler, start from objective facts, and peel back the cocoon, which is Xu Ping's principle of analyzing things. From this point, Xu Ping firmly believes that even if he has himself, even if he has influenced the foreign policy of the Great Song Dynasty, the party still has to be opposed, and it must be opposed.

Zhao Zhen is also trying to adapt to Xu Ping's way of analyzing problems, but he is still a little unaccustomed to it. Zhao Yuanhao is unstable within the party, why do you have to oppose the Song Dynasty? Zhao Zhen felt a little, but it was still not so clear.

But there is one thing Zhao Zhen understands what Xu Ping said, the party item will definitely be reversed later, but not yet, because the time is not right. For decision-makers, the most important thing is to judge the timing. (To be continued.) )
