At the very beginning of any great change, it appears in front of people in a very inconspicuous form, and most of the human beings, who are accustomed to being content with the status quo and do not want a big change in their own lives, are disgusted by this kind of change, just as when Faraday showed his achievements in electricity, a noble woman said to him with contempt: "Sir, I don't know what the point of you doing this, what is the use of this kind of thing?" ”

But when our world was different from the world of the previous generation and the eyes of the previous generation, and it was a kind of transformation that was completely devoid of the breath of the past, at that time, historians were surprised that the original source of change was established in a very inconspicuous matter.

But Faraday didn't, and in the face of the aristocratic woman's attack, he smiled very gracefully and said, "Madam, what's the use of a baby?" ”

The agreement reached by Suning and the Lingnan forces led by Feng Ang in Guangzhou talks, as well as a series of later agreements and actions in Jiangnan, had a great influence in later generations, and the evaluation was mixed.

The opposition did not come from the civilian group, but from the military generals, and the staff headquarters and military forces headed by Li Shiji were very incomprehensible to Suning's construction, and they were also very dissatisfied with Li Erma's support for Suning's construction. He put forward a debate, saying that it was very easy to go south to Guangzhou to conquer the subordinates with the strength of the military, and even if Jiangnan rebelled, the military strength would be extremely declining, and it could not be compared with the powerful northern army and the capable southern navy, and once the troops were dispatched, the Tang military was confident that the rebellion would be put down within three months.

However, in the face of the non-cooperation and even resistance of the Jiangnan scholars, the family, and the local heroes, Suning, the main promoter of the action to defeat the Shandong scholars with one blow, did not adopt the same decisive and tough attitude as he did against the Shandong scholars, but adopted a compromise posture at this time, and took the initiative to compromise with the local forces in Jiangnan when the imperial court had the upper hand. Compromise with the Lingnan forces. This made the general of the DPRK a little too dissatisfied.

However, because of the absolute support of the emperor and the support of the civilian community, such a policy was recognized, and the main combat force of the military generals was suppressed as compensation. Li Er's majesty allowed them to use troops against the Western Turks and Xue Yantuo. But they still have some grievances. If it can be solved by the army, why use money and food to compromise with those traitors? Money and food are not easy to come by, how good is it to use them for construction? Labor reform is the best end for those who are traitors!

Afterward. Suning's answer was, first, he didn't want his own people to kill each other and reduce the already small population of the Tang Dynasty; Second, I hope to leave a tradition for Datang that everything is easy to discuss as long as it does not rebel.

At that time, such behavior was quite criticized, and the strong Tang generals were very dissatisfied, but with the passage of time, later people gradually believed that Suning's approach was a landmark event in the history of the Tang Dynasty.

Before that, the Tang Dynasty soldiers pointed out that they were invincible, and the military generals even severely suppressed the civilian power for a time, and even approached the nature of the military government, but in that critical period, Suning, a special person who promoted the rapid growth of military power, turned around, blocked the rapid development of military power, and regained time for the strengthening of civilian power, once again creating a state of civil and military balance, and avoiding Datang from becoming a military government.

This achievement began with the peaceful settlement of the Jiangnan incident, and what can be obtained with the military is complete and thorough, but it has already destroyed too many essences, and although it is difficult and time-consuming to negotiate, it can avoid bloodshed and prevent the concept of "speaking with fists in everything" from being deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Six years have passed, and Suning, who is deeply integrated into this world, no longer has too many radical ideas, nor does it blindly worship military power, nor does it think that the army is the best means to realize its dreams, on the contrary, Suning began to accept the political ideas of conservatives who once disliked very much.

Historically, most of the successful and peaceful political and social reforms have been led by conservatives, which is the best state in which the whole society has not been destroyed by radical and violent revolutions, and the state power accumulated in the previous social state has not suffered much loss, and then successfully transitioned to the next stage, while the idealists who advocate rapid and violent revolution have often caused a country to bleed.

The British Glorious Revolution and the French Revolution are two completely different ways of revolution, and the results are naturally completely different, the power of the British monarch was limited, but the French Revolution turned out to be chaos in France, and the establishment of a republic was also full of twists and turns, first, second, third, fourth, and now, France is already the era of the Fifth Republic, and Britain is still that dynasty, still that royal family, there is very little bloodshed, but it is still a democratic constitutional monarchy under the rule of law.

The biggest characteristic of a conservative is that he is conservative, this conservatism is not the other conservative, it means moderation, graduality, no bloodshed, no conflict, compromise on both sides, and gradually move towards the goal in a moderate way, which may take hundreds of years, but this qiē is worth it, this is the conservative's point of view; Idealists, on the other hand, advocate a rapid and violent revolution to overthrow the old society and the old system in one fell swoop, and bloodshed is the price that must be paid for the establishment of a new era.

In some particular cases, Suning absolutely supports the idea of idealism, because in that case, moderation does not usher in the achievement of goals. Those in power do not want bloodshed, and conservatism will only lead to more intense bloodshed, but in the current situation, under the premise that Feng Ang and the twenty-eight leaders took the initiative to contact, Suning believes that everyone is unwilling to have bloodshed and is unwilling to raise a knife, so the best way is to negotiate and compromise.

The lively banquet began. Twenty-eight leaders of the Haoqiang, the scholars, and the tribes entered in turn. Feng Ang walked to the door to greet their arrival, Suning followed Feng Ang, Feng Ang greeted one and introduced one to Suning, and the two sides saluted each other. Say hello to each other. With a formulaic smile on his face. Maintaining the hard-won smile on the other hand, it seems that this qiē was designed by them in advance. Otherwise, how can those guys who look different from the Han people also wear Hanfu and speak Chinese?

Suning doesn't care about their code of conduct, the key is the later talks, everyone drinks and eats at the dinner table, talking and laughing, these representatives are carefully selected people who are very flexible in their mouths and brains, sentence after sentence set off the atmosphere extremely lively, everyone seems to have deliberately forgotten what the fundamental reason for coming here today is, Suning is not in a hurry, they are not in a hurry, everyone depends on who is in a hurry first.

After the banquet, everyone was more or less drunk, the tea was served, everyone drank tea, hangover, seemed to be very comfortable, Suning was also a little surprised, Lingnan, there are actually so many people for the Central Plains of the latest pop culture so understanding and pursuit, since they understand the pursuit of the Central Plains culture, then, the communication between each other will be much easier, the atmosphere on the field has gradually become a little quieter, Suning realized, this is the time to get down to business.

"Oh, I really didn't expect that the land of Guangzhou, so far away from the Central Plains, can taste the Central Plains food, as well as the tea of the Central Plains, it is really surprising to be in the middle of the world!" Suning began to lead the conversation.

Feng Ang immediately understood, and continued: "Hahahaha, Su Hou said something wrong, what's wrong?" Think I'm a Lingnan barbarian? The land of Lingnan is the land of the wilderness? This Guangzhou city has a population of 100,000, not to mention the entire Tang Dynasty, the land south of the Yangtze River, Guangzhou is also one of the best cities, although we live far away, but we have never relaxed the introduction of fresh things from the Central Plains, Chang'an City is popular, in our place, the same popularity! ”

Suning laughed and said: "Seeing that everyone is wearing the clothes of the Han family in the Central Plains when you come to the banquet today, you will understand it below, hahahaha, since this is the case, then it is easier to talk a lot, some things need to understand people, understand people to mention, understand people to understand, change people who don't understand, then it's troublesome!" With that, Suning picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and looked at everyone with a smile.

The big guy also understood that he was going to enter the formal topic, and they all cheered up, echoing Suning's words, and after a bit of chatter, Suning officially entered the topic: "Actually, the emperor's majesty ordered to come down and be this minister, there is no other meaning, just come and chat with the big guys, tell jokes, talk about hearts, and then take it with you, let's set a rule, set a rule that the big guy can accept, and then, ah, the future, whether it is shipping or something else, It's all according to this rule, no one violates it, what do you think? ”

The scene quieted down, the twenty-eight Lingnan leaders looked at each other, did not speak, and finally moved their eyes to Feng An, Feng Ang pondered for a while, and said: "It is naturally good to set a rule, there are no rules, there is no circle, the court has this idea, naturally, we are supportive, but, what is this rule, how to make a law, I don't know, what advice does Su Hou have?" ”

Suning smiled and waved his hand and said: "Advice is not to talk about advice, I am young and shallow, I can't talk about advice, I just want to discuss with the big guys, if there is anything to do, what ideas can be put forward, everyone will discuss and discuss together, and then, we must always set a rule that everyone can accept, the court can accept it, it can be accepted by the subordinates, Feng Gong can also accept it, you can also accept it, that is the best." ”

Feng An's eyes lit up, and the rest of the people began to whisper to each other, Suning smiled, raised the teacup and drank it for a while, looking at these people with kind eyebrows, he put down the teacup, and as soon as he put down the teacup, the family leader of the Zhang family in Gaozhou spoke: "Su Houye's words, we also understand, to be honest, before this, we didn't want to be unhappy with the court, after so many years, Lingnan does not rebel, the court does not interfere, everyone is safe, and it is also excellent."

However, not long ago, as soon as Zhang Qin came over, he cut off fifty heads, here, there are also some of my Zhang's house slaves, it is true that Zhang Qin is an official, and the house slave is damned if he collides with officials, but he came over, closed the port and did not say anything, did not say hello to us at all, killed people directly, worked directly after killing, and did not have the meaning of communicating with us at all, we really don't understand, what does he mean.
