Chapter 326: Only One Battle
The ministers sat down and no longer dwelled on the attribution of responsibility, anyway, this time the Black Cauldron Privy Council has already made a decision. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After discussion, Zhao Zhen was transferred to Huanzhou and Qingzhou, and Huanqing Road was deployed. Zhao Zhen is a general, and he has been in the northwest for many years, he is familiar with the border situation, and he is on Huanqing Road, so he should be safe there.
Yanzhou is on the front line, and the party has paid tribute from here over the years, and is extremely familiar with the geography and people there, so there must be important ministers. After discussing for a long time, it was decided to transfer the capital of Nanxi Road to Guangnan and West to transfer Fan Yong north to Yanzhou to replace Guo Quan. He also moved the former deputy capital of Huanqing Road to deploy Liu Ping to Dunyan Road, and served as the deputy capital of Dunyan Road, in charge of the military there. Moved the original Yongxing Military Road soldiers and horses to Lu Shouqin to Dunyan Road to replace Li Wei, who was derelict in his duties.
Zhang Cun, the deputy envoy of the household department, was promoted to Tianzhang Pavilion and served as the transfer envoy of the Shaanxi Road Capital, replacing Li Zhaoshu, whose term of office expired. With the war in the northwest, there must be a commander division on Shaanxi Road, and most of the powers of the transfer envoy will be taken away. At this time, the Shaanxi Road transfer envoy was actually equivalent to the wartime military transfer envoy, mainly responsible for the financing and transportation of money and grain, and was no longer the duty of Cao Xian in peacetime. As the deputy envoy of the Third Division, Zhang Cun is in charge of the Household Department, and he is familiar with the business and can effectively transfer materials to the front line. The post of deputy envoy of the household department was taken over by the former judge of the household department, Myeongho, at this critical juncture of the new policy, and the officials of the three divisions were not likely to change on a large scale.
He also entered the Baoshun Army Festival to stay behind the Baoshun Army Festival as the Baoshun Army Festival Envoy, and gave him 1,000 horses of colored silk, 1,000 catties of horn tea, and 1,500 catties of loose tea, and ordered him to invite the back of the party to contain Yuan Hao's troops.
The economic ties between Song and the party were temporarily suspended, and all mutual markets along the border were closed. The economic exchanges between the Song and the party, and the trade of goods were irrelevant to the Song, but an important economic source for the party. The closure of trade between the two sides is regarded as an economic sanction against the party, and although the effect is slow, the impact is very far-reaching.
At this time, it was completely dark, and there was an earthquake during the day, Zhao Zhen said tiredly: "Let's go here first for today's deliberations, and tell the news of the party's rebellion to the ministers, and let them express their opinions in a book." Tomorrow you all think about it, and then you will meet in the Chongzheng Hall the day after tomorrow. In addition to what I just said, in order to prevent the party from attacking, how to deploy the army and how to deploy the military states in the border areas must be considered. In particular, it is necessary to come up with ideas on how the forbidden army should be transferred to the Shaanxi Road and how to govern it. ”
Li Di took all the ministers to thank him and retired, and went out of the Chongzheng Hall together.
The incident was too sudden, especially after being delayed by Yanzhou for two months, and the military situation on the border was unknown, so everyone could not put forward any opinions in a targeted manner. However, after the Privy Council's narration, the ministers knew that although the party was opposed, there was no change in the military, and in the words of the border general, Yuan Hao was not yet ready for military preparations, and there would be no major war for a while.
At this time, the credibility of the Privy Council had gone bankrupt, and they said it in vain, and everyone listened to it, and they did not dare to take it seriously. At this time, Yuan Hao's envoy was still on the way, and it was expected that he would not arrive in the capital until the New Year, just in time for He Zhengdan. Judging from this, Shaanxi Road should not be able to fight in the short term. Although it is said that soldiers are not tired of cheating, the party item is actually a tribal alliance, and no matter how treacherous Yuan Hao is, he does not dare to joke with the lives of powerful clan leaders and high-ranking officials. Moreover, Yuan Hao claimed that the emperor was self-reliant, and he still had illusions in his heart, in case the Great Song Dynasty agreed to his request, with this political capital, he could carry out the integration of internal forces.
Out of the inner hall, Xu Ping returned to the Sansi Yamen to see that there was nothing special, and then returned home with a heavy heart.
A few years ago, he said that Yuan Hao was going to rebel, but now that Yuan Hao is really opposed, how should he deal with it, Xu Ping was a little at a loss for a while.
The northwest is a must, but when to go, Xu Ping can't make up his mind. If you go now, you can participate in it at the beginning of the war, calmly arrange, and cultivate your own team. But at the beginning of the war, the martial arts of the Great Song Wen were not ready, and they were afraid that it would be more ugly. In particular, the forbidden army has not experienced the lessons of blood, and it is impossible to change if it wants to reform. And when the war is fought for a period of time and the war in front is unfavorable, it will naturally be able to obtain the desired effect, and it will be possible to gain greater prestige by turning the tide of the war in one fell swoop. But at that time, there were many uncertain factors in cleaning up the mess, there was no own team, and the forbidden army was being reformed at the same time. As a last resort, at that time, it was necessary to rely more on human factors, and if an accident occurred, it would not be easy to find a chance to recover. In short, there are pros and cons, Xu Ping hesitated.
Early the next morning, the news of the party's rebellion spread throughout the court, and the ministers were in an uproar. Different from the cautiousness of the Privy Council, the ministers were full of confidence, and they all believed that Yuan Hao was just a clown who jumped off the beam, and as soon as the imperial army arrived, he could be captured. They have not been in contact with the military, and in the past two years, they have been politically and harmoniously, and the country has sufficient resources, and they are full of confidence in the national strength. As for the worrisome combat strength of the forbidden army, it is not a problem in their eyes, China has a vast land and resources, as long as there is money, they can always pick out those who can fight. used money and grain to pile up, and also piled up the party's small state to death.
The court meeting only listens to the opinions of the ministers, and generally does not decide anything, but only mobilizes public opinion. It is the meeting of ministers that really decides state affairs, and only then can concrete opinions be formulated.
In the shouting and beating of the court, only Wu Yu, who was newly admitted to the Imperial Court to take over Wang Yaochen's position, spoke differently. said that although Yuan Hao was named a vassal minister, he actually didn't pay a penny of taxes, and he was far away from the desert, so he didn't need to be treated strictly. He had already usurped the title of emperor, and boasted to the wealthy chieftains of the country, and it was impossible for him to cut it off himself. It's better to go with the flow, imitate Taizu's attitude towards the Southern Tang Dynasty at the beginning of the founding of the country, and follow the trend, and if the party can't make trouble, it will naturally be obedient.
Xu Ping shook his head again and again when he heard this, he was really stupid to read and read in the same year. Taizu's relaxation of the Southern Tang Dynasty was due to his determination to annex it to complete the great cause of unification, and when dealing with other forces, he implemented a delaying tactic. What is the current détente for the party? Isn't it just in the heart of Yuan Hao's arms?
After retiring from the court, Li Di recruited Xu Ping to gather in the political hall, and shook his head again and again on the way to Wu Yu's speech: "Everyone says that Wu Yuyuan has lost his heart, and it seems that this is the case today." Now it's unreasonable! ”
The crowd agreed. Wu Yu assisted Li Shen in the camp for two years, and he was said to be pedantic, but he didn't expect it to be even more serious after entering the Academy. At worst, it is not popular business, and at worst, it is incompetent, just living in those old papers, and has no understanding of the reality of government affairs. Of course, this was the case with Wu Yu, who did not approve of waging war against the party, and the same was true of many of those who strongly advocated sending troops to bring down the party. To quote scriptures is to be unfamiliar with the actual situation.
When they arrived at the political affairs hall, everyone sat down, and Li Di said straight to the point: "Xu Ping, you have been saying that the party Xiang Yuanhao will be against it since a few years ago, and today it is really the opposite." In your opinion, is the court at war or not? Should troops be sent or not? ”
Xu Ping got up and arched his hand: "The prime minister asked questions, and the lower officials didn't dare to say anything." Dangxiang was originally the land of the imperial court, and since Zhao Jiqian, there have been actions of disobedience every ten or twenty years. Because it was not easy for the imperial court to clean up, it has been tolerated until today, which has caused a catastrophe. According to the opinion of the lower officials, if Yuan Hao's rebellion this time cannot be exterminated by heavy troops, the surrounding states will be ready to move, and there will be no peace from now on. Therefore, the only way to fight against the party is to fight, and the sooner the better! ”
