As soon as I arrived outside the Chongzheng Hall, I heard Xia Shu sternly questioning the Privy Council. 3. The fastest military and national affairs were delayed for two months before reporting it. To put it bluntly, if Dangxiang's military strength is strong, two months would be enough to bring them to the two capitals.

Xu Ping and Chen Zhizhong entered Chongzheng Hall. At this time, the hall was in chaos and even the seats were given were removed. Several ministers surrounded Zhang Shixun and shouted loudly about what was going on in Dangxiang. How much important military information had the Privy Council suppressed and prevented the court from knowing.

Zhang Shixun said helplessly: "The Privy Council is just like you, and I just received the news from Yanlu. The border general hides military information, and what about the Privy Council? We are in the capital, not in the border area, just like everyone else."

"All talk nonsense! The secrets of the Shufu Office are in charge of the secrets. Is there no spy on Dangxiang in daily life? Yuan Hao has used all the best in spying on the military information of this dynasty over the years. Why is the Privy Council not prepared at all? Relying on the border general to report everything, what is the use of the Privy Council?"

The blue veins on Xia Su's forehead burst out, pressing Zhang Shixun tightly like a cockfighting, aggressive. The Privy Council will definitely undergo a major change in blood this time. His opportunity has come. Whether he can be in power as he wishes depends on his performance this time.

Zhang Shixun lowered his eyes and said nothing. In the end, he still did not hide. Dangxiang finally rebelled. He must be responsible. It is a foregone conclusion that he demoted from other jobs. It is meaningless to say extra words at this time. If you force yourself to distinguish, you will be looked down upon. It would be better to just let others slaughter it.

Send suspicion to neighboring countries and collect intelligence. The problem is that there has never been such a rule. How can Zhang Shixun send it? The Privy Council is a government affairs office, and there is no one in his hands if he wants to send it. The so-called secrets are just collecting military information reported by generals from each side. The Privy Council does not have its own separate intelligence system. The Privy Council has no way to suppress the information and not report it.

In order to prevent local officials from suspicion, the court did not have an intelligence organization, and it was not allowed to do so. In this era, it was too common to make things happen because of words and depreciate things. If local officials established intelligence agencies in the local area, how could local officials do things with peace of mind?

Yuan Hao rebelled for more than two months before the news reached the court. The main responsibility was to the local officials. The reason why it was reported at this time was because the border prefectures were counted that the envoys of Dangxiang should come to the court after the New Year, and the responsibility would be greater if they did not report. When Yuan Hao decided to rebel, he sent envoys to Song and officially declared. It is obvious that after reading the letter brought by Yuan Hao, Guo Guan of Yanzhou actually said that Dangxiang was still surrendered and had no intention of rebelling. He agreed to Dangxiang's envoys to go to the capital. This was outrageous.

Guo Quan was a Jinshi and was honest in politics, but his ability was not enough to serve as the chief officer of the border prefecture army. Dangxiang was ready to move in recent years, but the court knew nothing and had a great relationship with him. Another commander of Yanlu Li Wei also lacked the vigilance he should have. Military information should have been paid attention to. As a result, civil officials and military generals dereliction of duty together, and civil and military play together, but this is the case.

Seeing Zhang Shixun pretending to be dead, Xia Shu asked Wang Deyong again: "The Western Prefecture has neglected his duties, and Privy Councilors are old generals. If Zhang Shu is not familiar with military affairs, why is Privy Councilors and civil officials still know nothing? How can they not share the worries of the court if they eat the court's salary!"

Wang De was in a trepidated and bowed: "Nehan, two months ago, Yanzhou wrote a letter saying that it was the envoy of Dangxiang who was humble in his words and still praised the people in the letter of the country, and he had no intention of rebelling. Everyone in the court knew about this, and what I would know about was only like this."

Seeing that Xia Xu was going to question the officials of the Privy Council one by one, Li Di said in a deep voice: "For the present plan, it is not to pursue a time for dereliction of duty, but to decide how to deal with it! Xia Neihan, it is important to discuss the important matter first!"

Xia Shun stopped, and Li Di led all the ministers to greet Zhao Zhen, and Zhao Zhen gave him a seat.

Zhao Zhen felt his head hurt and said to the ministers: "Dangxiang has rebelled, how to deal with it? All the officials can express their opinions."

The chief censor Kong Daofu held the scepter and said, "Guo Guan, the governor of Yanzhou, was unclear, which caused Yanlu to delay the military information of the rebellion of the Dangxiang, which was suppressed for two months. The blame for this matter was Guo Guan. He issued an edict to blame him and demoted him only if he was demoted!"

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said, "Two years ago, Guo Guan once sued Yuan Hao for the envoy. When he arrived at Dangxiang, Yuan Hao privately gave him one million yuan, but Guo Guan refused to accept it. Moreover, Guo Guan was always honest and fair as an official and said bluntly and dared to advise. This time, he was dereliction of duty, which was not intent on being investigated. He could be defeated by his position as a Tianzhang Pavilion and moved to the mainland prefecture army for office."

Li Di received the order and the Secretariat handled it as such. This was nothing. Guo Guan made a fool of himself in Yanzhou, which led to the court being very passive when Dangxiang rebelled against the Song Dynasty. He had the greatest responsibility. But this was really a problem of his ability and understanding. He did not have any private thoughts. In the past, the official voice had always been very good, and it was not appropriate to be responsible for heavy responsibilities. It was already a heavy punishment for his position as a Tianzhang Pavilion. From a servant to a commoner, it was at least equivalent to a ten-level or eight-level relegation.

Although he has been in the court for many years, Xu Ping still felt quite unfamiliar with the handling of this incident and was even ridiculous. This is really not a problem of one or two officials, but a systemic problem of the entire system.

I knew that the Northwest Party was unstable and was very likely to rebel in the future, so why didn’t targeted plans be made? Why didn’t we collect intelligence in a targeted manner? If the plan was made and everything happened was ruled, there would be no such ridiculous things. Military and national affairs were judged by the personal judgment of a prefect.

"Although Yuan Hao usurped the reputation of China, he still praised the ministers, but he could gradually be polite to him and be willing to discuss it with the ministers." It was the sentence in Guo Quan's memorial that "but he still wanted to be the ministers" that made the court think that Dang Xiang did not rebel. Yuan Hao was arrogant and arrogant, and it was known to everyone inside and outside. It was not surprising that there were disrespectful words in the letter of the country. After reading Guo Quan's memorial, the court just thought that this was the case. How could it be imagined that Yuan Hao was not disrespectful this time, but really rebelled. After reading the letter of the country and seeing the envoy, he still couldn't see that Dang Xiang was going to rebel. I don't know where Guo Quan's book was read, which was speechless.

Everything is planned, and no plan will be eliminated. An important principle of scientific management is to make plans for things. Once the alarm point is triggered, the plan will automatically start. Things are done step by step, what should be done and what should be stopped, everything is organized, not based on the judgment of a few people. Science is to handle things systematically and organized, not rely on the inspiration of a smart person. Inspiration is the cleverness of doing things, but it is a taboo in scientific decisions and is unreliable. Things are not reliable because of people, but in this era, things are accomplished because of people.

Xu Ping not only introduced some new policies in the Sansi Department, but also implemented these management methods to eliminate the bad habits that had been unacceptable to the new situation before. Unfortunately, this method of doing things was not learned by the Privy Council, and their management method determined that such things would happen. If this thing didn't happen, it would be bad for other things.

It was precisely because of the realization that this was a systematic system defect that Xu Ping was not interested in punishing individual officials. When reading history in his previous life, he always wondered whether history would be different if another person was changed when a tragedy happened. Using the right person in the right position will indeed have different results, but the manpower is exhausted, and you can never guarantee to arrange the right person in the right position. In fact, you cannot prevent what happened, but you can guarantee what happened. This is what a systematic and organized way of doing things can be done. Xu Ping wants to change the world, which is the way to do things.
