"I agree to send important officials to preside over the expedition to the West, but who to send, and how can I authorize them?" Zhao Bing looked at the two old men and said with a calm face.

"This..." Liu Fu's face was happy when he heard this, but it was fleeting. He looked at Ying Jieyan but did not answer.

"Who do you think is suitable for me?" Ying Jieyan did not answer immediately, pondered for a moment and looked at the little emperor and said.

"I think that although this military is aimed at seizing Chongqing as the combat goal, the war may expand with the development of the situation. In this way, it will also preside over the defense of the entire Sichuan and Sichuan and the heavy responsibility of restraining the enemies in Shaanxi and Gansu. Therefore, this person is not only familiar with military affairs, but also has the ability to take charge of the party." The two of them tried to send important officials to preside over the expedition to the West, but when they talked about the candidates, Zhao Bing thought for a while and said.

"Your Majesty said very well, but this person must be both morally and capable, especially loyal to Your Majesty!" Liu Fu nodded and said.

"Well, Sichuan and Shu are far away from the center, and the host really wants to choose a minister." Ying Jieyan nodded, but his face was a little heavy.

The ball was kicked back and forth several times, and both sides were in a cold state. Zhao Bing looked at the two old men with a lot of worries and was a little funny. In fact, everyone knows that presiding over the military and political affairs of Sichuan is a high-powered person, but it is also a hot potato. The officials who presided over Sichuan and Sichuan since the southbound have all ended up miserably, which is a daunting way and cannot be avoided.

The Sichuan-Shu area has a closed terrain and is also a rare and prosperous place, comparable to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but it is also a place where the emperor is far away. After the imperial court crossed the south, this peaceful land suddenly became a military important place, resisting the front line of Jin and Mongolia invasions, and was valued by the imperial court, and sent heavy troops to defend.

The Song court used measures to arrange the Sichuan defense system. Generally speaking, the Xuanfu Envoy was the command unit and could issue orders to the Sichuan defense system. The troops in northern Sichuan were combat units, and the power of the commander was lower than that in Xuanfu Envoy, and they also had command over the troops in northern Sichuan. The commander could only control the troops of the Chief Commander Division and could not command the troops in northern Sichuan. The logistics unit could control the financial power. The Song court successively used the transfer envoys to follow the army, the transfer envoys and the transfer envoys to control them.

In order to fight against foreign enemies in the Southern Song Dynasty, in May of the third year of Jianyan, Zhang Jun was appointed as the Xuanfu Disciple Envoy and went to Sichuan to set up a defense system. Emperor Gaozong used his Xuanfu Disciple to deal with Sichuan because of his trust in Zhang Jun, and granted the right to facilitate the full power of Sichuan. However, because Zhang Jun granted the right to cheap to his subordinates Cheng Qianqiu and Wang Yining, or his subordinate officials abused the right to cheaply.

In September of the fourth year of Jianyan, Emperor Gaozong ordered that the officials sent by the Xuanfu Department should be dealt with in accordance with the power and dealt with the matter, and he would listen to our department. Only the Xuanfu Department had the right to be in charge of the Xuanfu Department, and ordered that the Xiongfu Department of the West of Beijing and the northern road of Hunan should not be in charge of Sichuan, and the Shaanxi Xuanfu Department should be restrained. Later, because Li Yunwen, a subordinate of Zhang Jun, killed the Chaofenglang Magistrate of Yuezhou Yuan Zhi in Ezhou, the Song court ordered Li Yunwen to be dismissed and ordered him to return to the Xuanfu Department of the Chuanfu Department of the Chuanfu Department. Although this incident did not lead to Zhang Jun's punishment and limited Zhang Jun's scope of the cheap power, it significantly weakened Gaozong's trust in Zhang Jun, and the Song court gradually restricted Zhang Jun's cheap power.

At this time, the Song court only restricted Zhang Jun's power in Sichuan, and still hoped that Zhang Jun would raise defense in Sichuan. However, after the Battle of Fuping, due to the great collapse of the Song army, Zhang Jun sought to rescue the decline and tried his best to raise food and funds. He then had a financial dispute with the Song court, which eventually led to the Song court recalling Zhang Jun. However, Zhao Bing thought that Zhang Jun's resignation was mainly due to his excessive power, which aroused the Song court's suspicion and fear, and was born as a military minister.

Since Zhang Jun left Shu, in order to meet the needs of the Song and Jin war, the Song court also adjusted the military power and financial power relations in Sichuan, and implemented a series of measures in Sichuan, gradually divided the military power and financial power, and adjusted the power of the Xuanfu envoy. It was no longer permanent in Sichuan, and its term of office was uncertain, and it was discontinued after the work was completed, so that Sichuan could be divided and governed. However, after Kaixi Northern Expedition, the Song and Jin reopened the war, and then had to face the challenges of Mongolia, so the Song court changed its policy to Sichuan again.

Because the Xuanfu Envoy held the power of the preservation and held the full power of Sichuan, the Song court was afraid that his power was too great, so he gradually suppressed it. The Xuanfu Envoy's mission changed the trip to the six ministries from letters to extortion, suppressed the power of the Xuanfu Envoy, and divided the power of the Xuanfu Envoy, and appointed Lu Fayuan, the governor of Kuizhou as the deputy envoy, and also cut off the military power of the Xuanfu Envoy, and the commander-in-chief Wu Jie was responsible for handling border defense.

After the Battle of Fuping, the Song court began to restrict the power of Xuanfu envoys, which led to the rise of the commander-in-chief Wu Jie. Because he was in charge of military power, he became the deputy envoy of Xuanfu envoy. He also changed the power of Xuanfu envoy to the commander-in-chief Wu Jie, and recognized his command over the army in northern Sichuan. Therefore, Sichuan entered the period of the military minister Xuanfu envoy. After Wu Jie took control of military power, his power gradually expanded to financial power, and the Song court was in a dilemma and embarked on Wu Jie and other members of the Wu family to prepare for defense in Sichuan and win over it with high officials and high titles. On the other hand, it was necessary to prevent his power from being too strong and no longer set up Xuanfu envoys in Sichuan to separate the power of Sichuan.

The Song court also restricted the personnel power of the Xuanfu envoy. In terms of military officials, according to the name of the Southern Song Dynasty, the status was from high to low. The commander, the commander, the deputy commander, the deputy commander, the chief general, the deputy general, and the prepared general. The military positions in the army were originally appointed by the general or the Xuanfu envoy. After the peace talks with Shaoxing, the Song court stipulated that the military officers above the commander were recommended by the Xuanfu Office and the Privy Council granted them to be given to him. The commander could be appointed to the rest of the officers on their own. 23 By controlling the appointment power of senior generals, the power of strengthening the control of the military power in Sichuan.

As for civil servants, the original candidates could have appointed Sichuan officials on their own, Song Ting gradually restricted the military power of Xuanfu Envoy. However, after Zhang Jun left Shu, the Song Ting restricted the military power of Xuanfu Envoy. The commander Wu Jie thus controlled the military power. The Song Ting recognized his command over the army in northern Sichuan. However, after Wu Jie had military power and became the deputy envoy of Xuanfu Envoy, his power gradually expanded to financial power. The Song Ting temporarily abolished the establishment of Xuanfu Envoy in Sichuan, and changed to the lower power of the Ministry of War Hu Shijiang as the sanction of the Ministry of War to avoid conflicts with Wu Jie's power. Only some of the personnel rights of officials...

Observing the conflict in the grain transportation issue in Sichuan, the position of the Song court at this time was quite embarrassing. On the one hand, in order to appease Wu Jie, he served as the Transportation Commission for Transportation and Argument, acquiesced to his control of financial power. On the other hand, he was afraid of the adverse consequences after Wu Jie took control of financial power, so he tried to lower Wu Jie's power, and the central government assigned a Transportation Commission to divide his power.

In September of the ninth year of Shaoxing, because Wu Jie died of illness, the former pacification and control commander Hu Shijiang changed from Quan to deputy envoy of Xuanfu Department to command the Song army to resist the Jin people, which led to his popularity becoming increasingly popular. The power of cheapness was "if there were military and rewards and punishments, they were not allowed to be punished, and they were allowed to be implemented at the same time. Only military and official rewards and punishments were rewarded and punished, which was equivalent to Zhang Jun's advantage. The control over military generals was also increased. Since Yang Zheng and Wu Lin still had to obey the orders of Xuanfu envoys, Zheng Gangzhong could still use his power to force the two to obey the orders.

However, as Zheng Gangzhong was also in charge of financial power and was attacked by court officials, the Song court therefore abolished the Xuanfu Envoy. Wu Lin, the commander of the Right Guard Army, was led by Wu Jie's old subordinates, and because Hu Shi Generals divided Guo Hao's power, Wu Lin controlled the troops and horses of Shaanxi, and gradually became a leader among the Shaanxi generals. However, the Song court was very cautious about the position of Xuanfu Envoy. Although Wu Lin was extremely honored and favored, it was not until May of the 31st year of Shaoxing that King Hailing of Jin invaded the south, and the Song court urgently needed Sichuan to launch a counterattack against the Jin army to reduce the military pressure in the southeast, so he had to grant Wu Lin the position of Xuanfu Envoy and ordered him to lead the Shu army to attack the north.

Although Wu Lin and his brother Wu Jie successively served as the envoy of Xuanfu as military officials, they observed the powers of the two. Wu Jie had the military power in Sichuan and had a certain influence on financial power. Wu Lin had only military power. Although he had ordered military people to govern the prefectures, such as Alinzhe and Taozhou, Wang Hong governed Lanzhou, etc., it was based on the needs of the Song and Jin wars. The Song court stipulated that "whenever the civil officials and consuls were the envoys of Xuanfu, the general officials would be bound by the letter of Shen, and the military officials would be the envoys of Xuanfu, and the military officials would be the envoys of Xuanfu, and the civil officials would be subject to the verdict. The military officials would be the envoys of Xuanfu, and the letter of liberation was issued to limit Wu Lin's power to infringe on financial power. His power was obviously far inferior to his brother.

Zhao Bing thought that the military minister Xuanfu envoy was prosperous. Although the Song court appointed Wu Lin as Xuanfu envoy, his power was limited by the Song court and was limited to military power. Although Wu Ting later inherited the commander of Xingzhou, the Song court never gave it to him as the important position of Xuanfu envoy, which showed that the Song court was very afraid of the military minister Xuanfu envoy. In June of the ninth year of Shaoxing, Wu Jie died of illness. In view of his domineeringness, the Song court also took charge of the financial power because his subsequent deputy Xuanfu envoy Zheng Gangzhong also held financial power. The Song court believed that the Xuanfu envoy was too powerful, and then abolished the Xuanfu envoy.

More than ten years after Wu Lin's death, the Song court adjusted the power of Xuanfu Envoy, and used his entry into Shu to deal with affairs. He was dismissed after the work was completed, and his term of office was uncertain. Therefore, he successively appointed Yu Yunwen, Wang Yan, Zheng Wen, Chen Xia, Cheng Song and Wu Xi as Xuanfu Envoy or Deputy Xuanfu Envoy, Wu Lin, Cheng Song and Wu Xi all led the army to the Northern Expedition and became Xuanfu Envoy. Xiaozong died of Wu Lin and supported the Northern Expedition, so he appointed Yu Yunwen as Xuanfu Envoy, and entered Shu twice.

It can be seen that the Sichuan-Shu regiment commander and the commander-in-chief were reported to the court in response to the command of the army, which showed that the Song court used the sanctuary and the commander-in-chief to lead the military power. The sanctuary and the commander-in-chief could command the commander-in-chief. It also showed that the Song court was unwilling to have one department to hold military power alone, but tended to make the two departments compete for the counter-in-chief, so that they could control it.

However, based on the same reason as Zhao Bing faced that Sichuan is far away from Lin'an, the Song court was not easy to control. Therefore, on the one hand, the generals must preside over Sichuan's defense. After Wu Jie's death, the Song court had to allow Wu Lin, Wu Ting and Wu Xi to inherit the command of Xingzhou, thus forming the Wu generals in Sichuan. However, the Song court had ambiguous attitude towards the Wu generals and was not at ease with them. On the one hand, they were encircled by high officials and generous titles, and on the other hand, they tried their best to prevent their power from being extended, so they had a series of measures to suppress the Wu generals.

There are four ways for the Song court to suppress Wu's generals: set up three governors in Sichuan to separate power, summon military generals to the court to be granted high-ranking officials, use the sons of generals as their qualities, and divide the Lizhou Road. Using these extraordinary strategies, in Zhao Bing's view, it was forced to control the methods that could not be on the table at all. The other measure was to control the financial power and restrain the generals in Sichuan and Sichuan.

It is precisely because Sichuan is far away from Lin'an and its economy has a certain degree of independence. The above offerings to Lin'an were intercepted and used due to the military's prosperity, resulting in the "Sichuan's financial levies stopped providing for the expenses of the road". After Zhang Jun entered Shu to set up a defense system, his financial power was mostly subordinate. Wu Jie invaded many financial powers when he was alive. Sichuan and Shu have always claimed to be the country of Tianfu, and the finance and taxation were enough to support the expenses of a place. In addition, the terrain was closed, and once it was out of control, it was possible to be a king.

The Song court was also moved by the danger of Sichuan's financial power being infringed upon, which made it easier for Shaoxing to negotiate peace with the peace, gradually independent of the financial power to strengthen its control over Sichuan's economy, re-ordered Sichuan's offerings to Luobu and others, and added tributes, and asked them to send the money and silk in Sichuan to the store. In order to break the independence of Sichuan's economy, they ordered Sichuan to allocate more than 1.73 million yuan of total money to the Zuozangku for national use.

The monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty tried their best to prevent the sudden change of Sichuan and Sichuan, but they also restricted the control of the situation by the generals guarding Sichuan and Sichuan. When the Mongols attacked, they caused chaos. When the enemy attacked, there was no troops to adjust. They only gathered 300 yamen runners to resist. As a result, it can be imagined that a major city was easily succeeded by the enemy and had to retreat to Chongqing and rely on the dangers of mountains and rivers to protect the south of the Yangtze River. It is precisely because of this that Sichuan and Sichuan have become the hearts of the important officials in the court that they could not be pulled out.

In Zhao Bing's view, several prime ministers and cabinet ministers strongly advocated that the court send important officials to preside over the war in Sichuan and Sichuan without any malicious intention. They also took the initiative to safeguard the interests of the court, but they still did not break out of the shackles of power, hoping to use this to curb the separatist generals. In this regard, he thought that the old people were planning ahead, and to put it bluntly, they were too careful. He thought that the current situation could no longer be compared with that of the time, and there was no condition for separatist...

"I think an important minister should be selected from the prime minister to go to Sichuan and Sichuan to preside over the war!" After a long silence, Ying Jieyan drank a glass of water and broke the silence.

"Hiss... has it been passed to send the prime minister to go?" Zhao Bing took a cold breath and said, "Although Sichuan and Shu are strategic locations, the court has always been the court's title of minister to support Sichuan and Shu. There is no precedent for the prime minister to go there!" Zhao Bing was shocked when he heard this, and thought to himself that it was not because he forced him too hard that the old man had to go to the battle himself!

"Your Majesty, I think it's not an exaggeration." Ying Jieyan stroked his beard and said, "The current battle in Sichuan is based on the Huguang Division, and the food, supplies are all supplied by him. Jiang Jin, the commander of the imperial guards in front of the palace, and later became the chief magistrate of the magistrate. He had long been the chief magistrate and was appointed as the chief minister. He was a minister to preside over the war. Even if Jiang Jin was generous and could follow the order, his subordinates would inevitably feel resentful. If he held his elbow everywhere, wouldn't it be ruined Your Majesty's plan!"

"You should be well-thought about things. If you only have an official to preside over the leadership of the department, you will inevitably be restrained everywhere and will be difficult to wield. In addition, it will inevitably make Jiang Jin think too much and feel resentful!" Liu Feng nodded and said.

"It's reasonable!" Zhao Bing sat back in front of the case and said. Ying Jieyan's words were quite subtle just now, while Liu Fu was more straightforward. He sent a cabinet minister to him, and the status of the two was not equal, and there was inevitably a dispute. The courtiers were at a loss. This also caused the suspicion of "using small to control the big ones", which made Jiang Jin feel doubtful and thought he had lost his trust...
