The meeting lasted for a long time. Zhao Bing repeatedly emphasized the significance of this battle, explained the current situation, and stated that he wanted to "take a knife" against the Jingxiang War Zone. The principle is "the capable are superior, the mediocre are inferior." He will never be ruthless to those who are incompetent and timid, and he will not be stingy to give him a bullet; and he will not be stingy in his performance in combat, and he will not be stingy to promote and reuse it.

After lunch, Zhao Bing did not return to the venue, but Wang Yinglin was hosted by him, and Ni Liang was on the court. This was also a strategy. One of them was a red face and the other was a white face. After a thunder, it brought rain and dew to calm everyone's emotions so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. After all, changing generals before the war was a taboo in military strategists, and he didn't need it, and now he did not have the ability to replace all the senior generals of the three armies.

Wang Yinglin was already used to wiping the butt for the little emperor and handling the aftermath for him. After he repeated the emperor's attitude to everyone again, the topic changed and he became a disgusting. It was because His Majesty had always trusted the generals of Jingxiang and gave high hopes that he responded so fiercely, and it was because His Majesty's "loving deeply that he blamed him."

After stabilizing everyone's emotions, Wang Yinglin conveyed His Majesty's praise and reward for the Shu army. What surprised everyone the most was that His Majesty actually decided to grant titles to all the soldiers and civilians who were defending Lingxiao City. Although they knew that such titles could only be favored by individuals and could not allow their descendants to inherit titles, they would also protect their descendants.

After ordinary civilians are granted titles, in addition to obtaining money, they will also gain a great reputation among the people. If there is a shortage of titles, local officials will treat them with courtesy and dare not underestimate them. However, after officials with positions receive titles, they will gain more benefits, and money will not be the most important thing, because the road to promotion will be smooth.

In the envious eyes of everyone, Wang Yinglin read out two decrees. One was to carry out 20-day rectification and pre-war training for all the imperial guards in the Jingxiang War Zone. During this period, incompetent officials will be punished, which is to dismiss and investigate, and to promote and reuse officials with excellent performance. The second was to strive to conquer Xiangyang within one month and end the Northern Expedition.

Wang Yinglin then deployed the training. The training will be personally presided over by the emperor, supplemented by himself and the Imperial Guardian Ni Liang, who are responsible for the rectification of the military and political systems. The specific method will be drawn from the officials of the Shangshu Province and the six ministries who are in charge of the camp. Together with the officials of the Jingxiang Marine General Office and the Imperial Commander's Office, a supervision team will be formed to go to the three armies to supervise and supervise.

The main work of the supervision regiment is to guide the rectification work of each army, participate in military command and decision-making, organize training and guide operations. It has the right to deal with and appoint the following officials to command the commander and command the above officials to request His Majesty's decision; it can provide guidance on the work of each army. If there is any difference between the two sides, it can request the battalion to punish; it must solicit opinions from the supervision regiment before making decisions, etc.

After the meeting, Wang Yinglin and Ni Liang met again, reported on the situation of the afternoon meeting, and asked for instructions on what else to add. Zhao Bing put forward two principles: First, be strict at the top and lenient at the bottom, treat middle and senior military and political officials strictly, and punish them strictly; while grassroots officers and soldiers should be lenient, with education as the main focus and punishment as the auxiliary. Second, be careful to kill less, and be unforgivable, the most serious crimes are extremely evil, and those with great public anger do not need to be executed immediately. They should be given meritorious service and atone for future success.

"These people should be killed. When they hear Feng Jue, they will shine. When they talk about rewards, they are all guys who just want to get promoted and make money!" After hearing the emperor's request, Ni Liang whispered in dissatisfaction.

"Haha, you guy!" Zhao Bing smiled at Wang Yinglin after hearing this, "It's not a bad thing to be an official, it's a good thing to make a fortune!"

"I can't figure it out, and I'm thinking about how it's a good thing to make money by becoming an official?" Ni Liang frowned and looked at the emperor in confusion.

"Does Wang Xiang want to be an official?" Zhao Bing smiled again, turned his face and looked at Wang Yinglin and asked.

"This..." Wang Yinglin didn't expect the emperor to ask himself, but he didn't know how to answer.

"Haha, there are many people in the world who want to be an official, but few dare to publicly declare that they want to be an official, but hide their own thoughts strictly and treat those who want to be promoted with a contemptuous attitude. I think it is hypocritical!" Zhao Bing said with a smile, "In fact, it is not a bad thing to be an official. Just like some people like books to pass on their descendants, and some people want to be passionate and want to be an idle person, there is nothing shameful."

"Besides, officials always need someone to be an official. It is better to make those who want to be an official than to order those who do not want to be an official to do it properly, and it is better to order those who do not want to be an official to be an official to order those who do not want to be an official to be an official!"

"Your Majesty, my subordinates think that few good people who want to be officials are all working hard and flattering, and they are all useless. Once they are allowed to become officials, they will want to make money, embezzle and accept bribes, and the people will become dirty officials." Ni Liang shook his head and did not agree with it.

"What you said is not without reason, but it is also too erratic." Zhao Bing nodded. He knew that Ni Liang was born in a low-class society and had a natural sense of disgust towards officials. At that time, it was the darkest time in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty. He had as many tiring taxes as a cow, arresting soldiers and recruiting men, and being rampant with evil officials. This view is not surprising.

"Everyone wants to be an official, but the purpose of being an official is very different. For example, those who are very ambitious and worried about the country and the people want to be an official, naturally, to resist foreign humiliation, enrich the country and strengthen the army, and benefit the people; but there are also people like Chen Yizhong who are officials to seek personal gain and make money. These people who are appointed as private individuals and use any means to become officials, which will lead to misleading the country and the people."

"Well, my subordinates understand that it is to ask good people to be officials and bring bad people to justice. Our reorganization of the army this time is to dismiss the bad officials and let good people become officials." Ni Liang thought for a while and said.

"Then why do you think you are a good person and who are a bad person?" Zhao Bing nodded and asked again.

"The good people are naturally supported by everyone and satisfied with Shangguan; while the bad people are timid and timid, and are despised by everyone." Ni Liang replied.

"Haha, your idea is simple and clear, but things have to see the other side." Zhao Bing said with a wry smile. This foolish guy acts simply, and if he is so determined to reorganize the army, he is really not relieved.

"Some officials do not seek merit but do nothing wrong, they act smoothly, and they do not do anything with any risks. In Shangguan's opinion, there is no big mistake, and they are not bad people in the eyes of their subordinates. Therefore, they are proud and rise to the top; while some officials enforce the law impartially and act without fear of the powerful, so they will inevitably offend many people, making Shangguan and subordinates dissatisfied. Then which one do you think is a good official?"

"Of course, officials who do things are good officials, but officials who do not do things... Just like the clay Bodhisattvas in the temple, good people and bad people burn incense for it and ask for blessings. The Bodhisattva does not do anything, so no one will offend him. If the Bodhisattva can really promote someone to be an official or help someone get rich, those who have not been promoted and made rich may sue him to the Buddha. Therefore, the Bodhisattva can be admired by thousands of people and worshipped by all living beings. The mystery lies in his never doing things, but he is actually a mediocre official." Ni Liang thought for a while and said seriously.

"Well, then do you think I am a good emperor?" Zhao Bing asked again.

"Of course your Majesty is a good emperor!" Ni Liang said without hesitation, "Your Majesty loves the people as your son, reduces and exempts rents and taxes, and lets those who plough have land and be loved by all the people. Moreover, your Majesty must be brave in the front line and plan and fight in a battle. Who will not respect the army?"

"But it is not necessarily the case. At that time, I implemented taxes from officials and civilians and collected taxes from officials and gentry. Those gentry hated me to the core and submitted several complaints to the Empress Dowager to depose me. This time I came to Xiangyang, and I executed more than ten generals. Some people must have said that I was cruel and unkind and killed the generals without any mercy. I must be very dissatisfied with me." Zhao Bing smiled.

"Then Your Majesty is also a good emperor. Your Majesty's implementation of new tax laws can reduce the burden on the people and the national treasury is full. Those people think that Your Majesty is not good for personal gain. This time, Your Majesty's execution and dismissal of more than a dozen military generals was also to conquer Xiangyang as soon as possible and prevent the enemy from going to Jiangnan again from now on. There is nothing wrong with that." Ni Liang shook his head repeatedly and said.

"Then have you been a good official or a bad official when you participated in the military reorganization this time?" Zhao Bing asked again.

"This..." Ni Liang was stumped and thought for a long time before saying, "I want to be a good official in the eyes of good people, a bad official in the eyes of bad people!"

"Haha..." Zhao Bing and Wang Yinglin were both amused by him.

"Although Ni Dushuai's words are a bit vulgar, they are also reasonable. We just want to be a good official who makes bad people say bad." After a while, Wang Yinglin smiled and said seriously, "As for the same reason, there are also good officials who are willing to be officials who are fair and honest and dare to ask for their destiny for the people. Therefore, we must not be summed up in one sentence. As long as they are righteous, loyal to the emperor and love the people, what's wrong with us letting them be officials? And those who are officials who are selfish and harm the public and self-protection, if they want to be officials, we cannot let them be officials."

"Well, Wang Xiang is right!" Ni Liang said with great emphasis.

"In addition, officials are also individuals. They also want to eat better and make their families feel more comfortable. The money comes from the salary of the court and the rewards of His Majesty. There is nothing wrong with getting rich." Wang Yinglin said again, "For Your Majesty, it is not a bad thing for officials to be promoted and make money. Otherwise, what will Your Majesty use to motivate ministers to do things, and the army will fight bravely to fight the enemy. Only doing things that are polite but not profitable will the ministers be dissatisfied, and they live in poverty and cannot do things for the country. Therefore, Your Majesty is the case for promotion and rewards to officials with capable and outstanding achievements!"

"Well, that's true! But... But I'm not loyal to serving Your Majesty for the sake of reward!" Ni Liang nodded, but thought of something and quickly explained, which made Your Majesty laugh...
