Liu Liufu was silent for a long time and said to Xu Ping: "Your public speaking is nothing to say to others. I wonder if it is true or false?"

Xu Ping said: "Of course it is true. If a real man acts, he should be open and honest."

Liu Liufu looked at Xu Ping and asked in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, can you tell me clearly that the two countries are now trying to be harmonious or fighting? If you want to fight, you don't have to leave me here. If you force me to stay with me, I will be laughed at by later generations, but it will also damage my virtue."

Xu Ping laughed: "The bachelor's question made it difficult for me to answer. It was because I wanted to fight and be harmonious, and I could not decide it alone, nor was it the final decision of this dynasty. Harmony and war were the affairs of both the two dynasties in the north and the south, so why just ask me?"

"Your Duke is the prime minister of a country and is naturally clear about the country's affairs. It is good to have peace and war on the other side of your country, but you always have a problem in your heart. If you want to fight, all the words for peace will be nothing more than a false statement."

Xu Ping picked up the wine glass, pondered for a while, and finally smiled helplessly: "Bachelor, I will say something pretentious. If you ask such a word, it means that our views on the world, people and countries are completely different. It's not that I can't answer, but I'm afraid that the bachelor will still not understand after I answer. To be honest, I may not have enough wisdom and lack of talent and knowledge, so I never have to be a vain article."

Liu Liufu bowed: "Why don't you try to speak and listen. If you have any unknown points below, please ask for advice."

"There are words in the military book. The soldiers have no constant power and the water has no constant shape. Only by changing the enemy can you win. If you ask me if you want to fight and be harmonious, I, Xu Ping, personally, you should lead the army, and lead the army northward to restore your hometown, and then comfort your lifelong ambition!"

After hearing this, Liu Liufu's face changed color. Unexpectedly, Xu Ping was really not shy about it and said what he thought in his heart.

Xu Ping also said: "It's just that I am the prime minister and I use the king to govern the country's politics. What do I think about it? It doesn't matter if the national government is not important. So the scholar asked me if I want to fight. Xu Ping said it was to fight. The prime minister of the Song Dynasty said it was to be harmonious. Why do I want to be harmonious? Yanyun's land returned to the Khitan for more than a hundred years, and how many people are thinking about the Central Plains? The court should take the people's hearts as the basis for the people. If the people there want to be harmonious, the court will naturally want to be harmonious. There is no need to ask. The scholar asked me about the border, whether the Yan people want to return to the Song Dynasty or under the Khitan rule. If the Yan people are in the south, they will have to fight. If the army goes north, they will be powdered! At this time, the Yan people did not have the will to return to the south, so the court naturally wants to be harmonious."

After hearing this, Liu Liufu was stunned. Xu Ping said this, not only giving reasons for peace talks, but also abolishing the vows that will never be easy forever. If the people's hearts change, the peace talks will be abolished, and the Song army will definitely go north.

Seeing Liu Liufu's expression strange, Xu Ping said: "The two countries made a covenant, although they swear to the heavens, but the heart of heaven is in the heart of the people, and they will eventually belong to Yanmin. I understand this and the scholar knows it. Go back and tell the king not to mislead himself."

Not only Liu Liufu, but even the officials of the Song Dynasty sitting on the side looked very wonderful, and they had their own ideas. Du Yan, Ming Hao and others knew that Xu Ping was telling the truth, without any power, which was the national policy set by the Song Dynasty. But Fu Bi and Ding Du did not think so. Since Xu Ping discussed with Zhao Zhen and court officials, they thought this was a strategy. However, Xu Ping was a man with deep scheming and even his own people did not express his own words, so he could only understand and not express it. Setting up such principles not only ensured that the oath could be torn at any time, but also occupied the righteousness. If the Khitan wanted to ensure that the oath was valid, he would make the people of Yan under his rule be able to live. And the Khitan showed kindness to the people of the people before the Song Dynasty, and the people there would still be unable to help but attribute the merit to the Song Dynasty. No matter how it was calculated, it would be beneficial and harmless.

Xu Ping did not consider any pros and cons. He really thought this way, doing this. The road is like a curve, and there is nothing to do and cannot be cared about. People's hearts are very complicated. If you ask about something, everyone thinks it should, but in fact, if you really encounter it, no one will do it. If you really do it, you will be discussed behind the scenes. Do you have any other intentions?

Xu Ping once picked up a wallet on the road, which was more than 200 yuan in addition to the card and ID. He handed the wallet to the police and found the owner, but the owner accidentally lost it after being drunk and couldn't remember how much money it was. The owner muttered in a low voice, as if there was more than this little money in the wallet, and then he left with the wallet. The wonderful thing was behind. Whether it was the police who handled the matter or Xu Ping's colleagues and friends, they all thought that the owner was saying the truth, and there should be much more than 200 yuan in the wallet. Xu Ping took most of the money away, and the owner took the money as a reward and did not care. In the next month or two, friends and colleagues kept asking Xu Ping to treat him, which made everyone happy with the benefits. Xu Ping was so disgusting.

This is the complexity of human beings. The reason why we think that these things are done in this way is correct, such consensus has been formed in history, and this is better for everyone in memory. When reality changes, this consensus only has a false shell, and everyone no longer takes it seriously. If you really encounter it, you will make the opposite choice when you see no one.

For a regime, as long as the rules are set, such as the owner is not allowed to pursue the loss of the lost property after picking up, because the picker may not be the first person to find out, and order can be formed. Without rules, it will be messy, and no one knows what to do is right or wrong. But for civilization, it is not enough to have rules alone, but to form a consensus. Everyone agrees with what to do, and do it naturally when encountering it. This is a difference in political heights. For civilization, political requirements are much higher. Xu Ping is working hard to form such an atmosphere, but he still has a long way to go.

Since the destiny has been denied, only the human heart can determine whether political behavior is right or wrong. Simply in the emperor's heart, he feels that his decision is smarter than all fools, but it is just an excuse for unkind and unwise people. The regime echoes the hearts of the people. If the regime does not take the hearts of the people seriously, the hearts of the people will gradually disappear and cannot be found. It is not easy to reunite the hearts of the people. The hearts of the people determine the nature of the regime, and the regime is changing the hearts of the people. This is a process of complementary and mutual influence.

The mutual influence changes at any time. This is the current strategy of the Song Dynasty under Xu Ping's presidency for the Khitan. Liu Liufu could not recognize this, so Xu Ping could not explain it to him clearly. To say that, it depends on Liu Liufu himself if he understands it. As long as Song revises the national affairs internally, ensures that the national strength will not fall, and ensures that the military strength is strong, these words can be turned into reality.

After seeing Liu Liufu's expression, Xu Ping knew that he still didn't believe it and said, "For this dynasty, it is naturally a desire to be harmonious at this time, and the scholars do not need to have doubts about it. It's just that your country insists on having annual monies, otherwise you will not be willing to be harmonious, and there is no way. If you don't get along, you will have to fight. If you don't fight, don't you know each other. Therefore, the scholars should know that this dynasty is dispatching troops to the front line, what are you doing?"

Speaking of this, Xu Ping couldn't help laughing: "Is it necessary to mobilize troops to fight? To promote peace. You insist that your army is strong and you can get silver and silk from the southern country without any effort. There is no way, so this dynasty has to beat you up and recognize how much you have, so that you can negotiate peace. Bachelor, don't you?"

Liu Liufu was silent, what could he say? The biggest obstacle to peace talks now is that the Khitan did not want to give up the silver silk he received every year, and would not make a vow if he didn't give it money. Having this idea was that he thought he still had a military advantage.

Xu Ping made it clear. If you think you are strong, then you will fight until you give up this idea. It is true that the Song army can't do it now, but it can still support it when it goes forward a hundred miles, so then go forward a hundred miles first. If the Khitan is unstable, the Song army will not wait any longer this winter, and will inevitably cross the Juma River and push the border to Laishui and Sanggan River.

The Song Dynasty wanted to negotiate peace, but it did not mean that it would remain unchanged during the process of peace.
