Chapter 329

When Dangxiang rebelled against the Song Dynasty, the Privy Council was dereliction of duty, Zhang Shixun resigned from the governor of foreign states. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhen did not select another person to take charge of Privy Council, but promoted Wang Deyong to the affairs of the Privy Council to replace Zhang Shixun.

At this critical moment, the use of military generals to command the Privy Council was incompatible with the gradually formed habit of ordering civil and military commands to separate civil and military commands, which aroused opposition from court officials. If the generals gained the morale of the military and had been in charge of the Third Office for a long time, they would be able to break up the gap between commanding the military and dispatching troops and repeat the story of the destruction of the heads of the Five Dynasties. The relationship between peacetime is not very important, and when the critical moment comes, major changes may occur. In history, Di Qing served as the Privy Council as the Privy Council, and was safe and safe for five years. When Renzong's health was in trouble, he did not succeed to the throne, and the civil servant group immediately focused on attacking Di Qing. It doesn't matter what excuse it is. The real intention is that when the throne is replaced, the possibility of military generals not allowing military troops to interfere in the inheritance of the throne exists.

When the war was about to begin, Wang Deyong was used as the Privy Councilor, and he was a taboo. Su Shen, the chief of Kaifeng Prefecture, first wrote a letter saying that Wang Deyong's family Feng Shui was too powerful and that the house was silhouetted. His face was strange, with a black face and a white neck. Legend has it that Emperor Taizu had this kind of appearance, the so-called appearance was like Taizu. This memorial made Zhao Zhen extremely disgusted. He stayed at the middle school and did not say anything, and changed Su Shen to a position outside the capital and went out to know Heyang. The rapid appointment made Xu Ping have no chance to save him.

However, Xu Ping also saw the imagination of officials in this era. In his previous life, he only knew that civil servants used similar excuses to attack Di Qing. Unexpectedly, Su Shen had already previewed it before. This practice made Xu Ping feel very disgusting and said it with a righteous word. When he started a war, he felt that using military commanders to control the Privy Council, or using military commanders as Privy Councilors, and he didn't have to be a general in charge of the military commanders in the Third Yamen, so he could understand it. Why do you turn around like this and use disgusting excuses to achieve your goal? If you weren't optimistic about Su Song, Xu Ping really wanted to take advantage of Su Shen, this precedent was too bad.

Wang Deyong was also uneasy and asked to lead troops to fight Dangxiang, but Zhao Zhen politely refused.

The next day, the Chongzheng Palace gathered again, and indeed the situation Xu Ping did not want to face the most. The Secretariat and the censors were in charge of the war, demanding that the court launch a large army and quickly quell the Dangxiang. The Privy Council, including Wang Deyong, felt that it was impossible to send troops hastily, but should first consolidate the border defense, seek undefeated and then win. The Bachelor Academy was also in charge of guarding the defense, influenced by Xia Shu who had just left. Especially Xia Shu, who had been the deputy envoy of Privy Council for seven years, reviewed the war against Dangxiang during the reign of Taizong and Zhenzong, and took his father's unfortunate death as an example to illustrate the harm of light troops advancing.

Jiqian was poor and rich. Compared with Yuan Hao's wealth, the army that had won the victories in the first dynasty, such as the soldiers in Guandong, the troops who developed the country and practiced war, and the generals who had not tried the border, Jiqian fled to Pingxia, and compared with the current outside the Yuanhao Cave. In short, the army of the Song Dynasty was not as good as the elite soldiers and generals of Taizong at this time, while Yuan Hao was much stronger than Jiqian. At that time, he went to the battle and ended up working hard but was useless. What should I rely on if I wanted to win the battle? The court had more money and food, so I should strictly guard the border. As long as I could not persist in it for a few years, Dangxiang would inevitably go to the emperor's title and continue to surrender, and the world would be peaceful.

The military was finally under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council, and there were also powerful generals like Wang De, and Xia Shun stood on the opposite side. No matter how rational Xu Ping fought, he could not save him. In the end, he chose the third strategy of the inferior strategy. Even if he chose the third strategy, the Privy Council also specifically emphasized that he was about to use the power of the Siluo to restrain Yuan Hao and did not agree to explore the west.

The discussion was held until the afternoon, and finally the countermeasures were decided. The Third Division immediately launched the original plan for the war in the northwest and began to transport supplies there. The prefectures along the road began to recruit personnel according to the plan of the Third Division, mainly the newly established mailing department, responsible for the transportation of military supplies and money and grain. In principle, the policy of letting merchants enter the country will no longer be used. The Privy Council proposed a draft for the transfer of the imperial army in the capital to Shaanxi Road, and how many troops and numbers should be transferred, and reported to Zhao Zhen.

After leaving Da Nei, Xu Ping was in a complicated mood and didn't know whether the result was good or bad. Although he was expected, his efforts did not work and he still felt a little disappointed.

Xia Shu was full of energy. His opinions were adopted, and the Privy Council was inactive, and one foot had already entered the government. The strength of jumping up and down these days was not in vain. Zhang Shixun was sure to leave. In addition to Du Yan who had just been added, Shengdu and Han Yi were likely to be replaced. With so many places, it was his turn.

Back at the Sansi Yamen, Xu Ping sat alone behind the desk in a daze, not knowing what to do later. According to the direction set by the court now, he did not want to start a war against Dangxiang, but used non-war methods to force Yuan Hao to go to the imperial throne and return to the original track. However, Xu Ping's preparation was to fight with Dangxiang, and to exorcise the country's strength to destroy Dangxiang and never give up. This time, it seemed that he had used all his strength to punch, but fell into the empty space, and the feeling of being flashed was a bit unacceptable.

Before he knew it, it was dark. Tan Hu came in to remind Xu Ping that it was time to go back to the mansion. If Xu Ping did not leave, the officials directly under his subordinates in the Sansi Yamen would not dare to leave, which would cause complaints.

He stood up and sighed. Xu Ping took off his official hat and held it in his hand, asking Tan Hu to lead the horse.

While standing in the yard waiting, Shi Quanbin suddenly rushed over and said to Xu Ping: "Give me a visit, the official will summon you into the palace, Tianzhang Pavilion will report!"

Xu Ping was stunned for a moment: "Now?"

Shi Quanbin nodded: "It's now! The official family is waiting there, waiting for the service!"

If so, it is difficult for everyone to talk about. It seems that Zhao Zhen is going to tell him about it.

Wang Deyong made his mark, and it was as his father Wang Chao went to the Dangxiang. He performed very well at that time. Wang Chao praised him: "The Wang family has a queen!" He used Wang Deyong to lead the Privy Council. Zhao Zhen was afraid that he was not what he had decided in the Chongzheng Hall during the day, so he still wanted to fight. However, in this era, it was not enough for the emperor to make up his mind alone. He had to unify his opinions in the court, otherwise he would not be able to continue to fight. I think that's right, which emperor was willing to be so cowardly?

After breathing a long sigh, Xu Ping ordered Tan Hu, who was leading the horse, to immediately follow him into the palace.

Shi Quanbin whispered: "The official summons the officials at this time, and they must be asking about the Northwest strategy. Can the gifts be dealt with?"

Xu Ping was in a better mood and said relaxedly: "There is naturally a response. This dynasty was to fight against Dangxiang with the truth and first occupied the title of righteousness. In terms of strength, he bullied the small with the strong and bullied the weak. As long as the top and bottom were united, Dangxiang would be like a native chicken and a treacherous dog! What he feared most was that the emperor was not determined and the border generals had their own ideas. Such a strategy was useless."

Shi Quanbin nodded repeatedly. This time the battle in the northwest was Xu Ping's opportunity, and Shi Quanbin was also very concerned. When it came to Xu Ping's position, he had already stepped into the government with one foot. As long as he made contributions in the northwest, the prime minister would be in his hand. The two had been with each other for so many years. If they were mainly friendship before, they would have to support each other in the future. With the support of the prime minister in the outer court, Shi Quanbin's status in the palace is also unlimited. The promotion of the eunuch can also be investigated by the outer court.
