Chapter 172

"What the Marquis of Yongning said is very true! How can a clown in this dynasty be able to take over the country? This time, he dares to send a detailed plan to investigate the mountains, rivers and geography of this dynasty. Next time he will dare to enlist troops to attack prefectures and counties and rob the people!"

Seeing Liu Ping's spirits rejuvenated, Xu Ping said lightly: "Dangxiang Zhao Yuanhao has done it many times by attacking the prefectures and counties of the dynasty and plundering the people. Every time he admits his mistakes, the court just blames him!"

Lu Yijian coughed and looked at Zhang Shixun sitting on the other side.

Zhang Shixun understood it and said to Xu Ping: "You are still young after all, and you just want to act with your will. What the two ministers said just now is a successful country! The Khitan is in the north and hundreds of thousands of troops are in the fortress all year round. How can the court start a light battle in the northwest? How can the government support the need for troops, horses, money and food? For the current plan, we can only stabilize the party and slowly plan it. Otherwise, the Khitan will definitely take the opportunity to extort. What should we do at that time?"

Xu Ping had to sigh again: "Shuzhu, what you said is not wrong. Stabilize Dangxiang and slowly plan for Zhi. However, now I only see Dangxiang stabilizing, and even tolerating and allowing Yuan Hao to slap the court. Where is the four words "Shuxutuzhi"? To be honest, only the later "Shuxutuzhi" can be confirmed. The previous "Shuxutuzhi" is a mature plan for the country! If you don't do things, why is it steady for Dangxiang?"

Zhang Shixun changed color: "You are just a deputy envoy of the Three Divisions in the imperial court, what do you know when you are the emperor of this dynasty and above, and they will definitely be grateful to Dangxiang, and how can you treason your troops and rebel!"

Xu Ping couldn't help but shook his head and sneered: "What if Yuan Hao was not grateful? What should I do? Since he succeeded to the throne, the incident of plundering on the border has become more and more serious every day, and it is more and more serious. In Dangxiang, the official system of the Banhu was reorganized, and the people were expanded into the army, and even the reign of the dynasty was not needed! Although I am just a deputy envoy of the Three Divisions, these are all known to the world, and I have heard of them. I turned a blind eye and covered my ears to steal the bell. How should I deal with it if Yuan Hao rebelled in the future?"

I remembered that in my previous life, there were small forces like Dangxiang. When they were shooting guns and cannons every day, they knew that their hearts were towards the motherland. When you put your face up and thought of using kindness to influence them, the boss’s shaves one by one. It’s very simple. Just endure it when you hit you. The more you hit me, the better you will get. Why don’t I hit me?

Everything is up to me. Thunder and rain are nothing more than your kindness. If they don’t understand this, why are you going to join in?

Xu Ping knew in his heart that Zhang Shixun cannot blame him for things. He is the Privy Council and must speak from the standpoint of the Privy Council. What Xu Ping said, is he really not understand? It is not that he does not understand and cannot do it. It is easy to keep the favor of the Dangxiang, but it is difficult to slowly achieve it. The Privy Council now does not have this ability at all. Even if he knows that Zhang Shixun has to pretend to be stupid.

The entire bureaucratic system is unbreakable at this time. Just like a spider web, officials entering must lie on the Internet honestly. Such a system habitually turns everything they encounter into daily affairs of signing words and saying sentences, and to break through conventional things, they will instinctively reject them.

It is obviously impossible to follow the rules for the Dangxiang to do it slowly. Therefore, the strategy set by the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister sounds fine, but when it comes to the specific implementation, they are eaten and spit out half of the specific work.

Zhang Shixun's face was so angry that his face turned red, but he had no words to refute. In fact, according to the habits of bureaucrats, there was no need to refute. I don't need your consent or care about your objections when doing things, so why should I refute?

Xu Ping had no expression, but in fact he was a little numb. Faced with the extremely stubborn bureaucratic system, he was struggling to do things. Even if the Sansi had undergone large-scale personnel replacement, it was still difficult to do things.

You told the public officials who were doing business that this matter should be done like this. The public officials immediately told you what the practice is like, which year and month, which imperial edict, which imperial edict, or which chief official decided that such things should be done like this. If you say, don’t worry about those conventions, do what I said. OK, the public officials will never argue with you, and turn around and do what you said. However, if you don’t instruct the things you encounter later, he will not do it because you said that you don’t care about the past conventions. Then a large number of things are stuck in this yamen, and official documents are piled up like mountains.

No matter how smart you are, you will be as big as a fight when you first arrive in such a yamen.

Strong officials often re-edit the regulations after taking office, such as Ding Wei's re-revised "Three-Secret Regulations" and "Jingde Farmland Imperial". Without these regulations, the yamen would be paralyzed.

Xu Ping’s current problem is that the revision of the regulations caused a rebound. Some people think that he is the second Ding Wei. If the regulations are not revised, doing things is like trekking in a mud field, and one step is hard to take.

Neither Zhang Shixun nor Li Zi were the kind of stupid and incompetent officials, but if they were stuffed into the Privy Council together, the Privy Council was still the extremely incompetent yamen.

Fan Zhongyan was under tremendous pressure to overthrow Lu Yijian, thinking that Lu Yijian was a treacherous person, but it was also related to his belief that Lu Yijian was the culprit of this situation.

Zhao Zhen's repeated improvement of the status of a censor was also related to his dissatisfaction with this situation and his helplessness.

There is nothing we can do about it. Xu Ping has only been back to Beijing for only a year. What tricks can he have?

Seeing the awkward situation, Wang Zeng said: "Xu Ping was in Yongzhou. When facing Jiaozhi, he used the power of a state to promote the prestige of the imperial court. His martial arts were unprecedented. Now he is still in awe. This is the blessing of the imperial court. Jiaozhi in the southwest was also the Dangxiang in the northwest today? It was also true that the Privy Council did not respond in detail. However, it is difficult for the Privy Council to do what to do, and it is difficult for them to grasp the limits. Why not do this? After this matter, what will the ministers discuss?"

Lu Yijian said: "Is Wang Xianggong reasonable? Is it still possible to discuss in the future. Today I will talk about how to deal with the detailed work of the Dangxiang."

What should I do if there is a dispute? Just hold a meeting. After a resolution is held, it will be implemented according to the resolution. Xu Ping is already very familiar with this process. After a thousand years, isn’t this still the way everyone is accustomed to following?

Zhao Zhen looked at this and that, and nodded silently.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong, everything was out of the will of the saints, and the ministers of the prime ministers were just receiving the imperial edict. Now it was not that time, and he could not make a decision. Emperor Taizong of Song was at the forefront of the entire ancient Chinese history, and he handled government affairs almost from dawn to late at night. He was like this every day. How could every emperor follow him? Besides, Taizong was like this because of his unrighteous position. There were many rumors in the world at that time, and he was suspicious and suspicious, and he was not at ease with anyone. He had to take the whole country into his own hands. Zhao Zhen could not learn it, nor was it necessary. He had a prime minister, a servant, and a censor, so why bother with everything himself?

If you don’t understand the specific situation, you will have no way to make a decision, and Zhao Zhen’s mind is still clear.

Zhang Shixun sat down with a calm face, but still couldn't get rid of his anger. He knew that the problem of his yamen was one thing, and it was another thing that was pointed out in public. This is not the first time Xu Ping has embarrassed himself.

When dealing with the detailed work of the Dangxiang, should we be responsible for the strict or substandard? This is a big issue related to the court's attitude towards the Dangxiang. Although it is a question of tone, it will not be careless at all.

Zhang Shixun said: "Now that Dangxiang's rebellion has not been revealed, you only need to express your meaning to the envoys and let them understand it. If the ministers are really sent to blame him, wouldn't he have to tear his face? In the future, there will be many inconveniences in the envoys of the two countries."

Liu Ping watched while watching, and saw Xu Ping insisting on his opinion in front of the prime ministers, but he was not criticized. He couldn't help but become stronger and said, "The envoy, the last person, thinks that it's just a small responsibility, but still cannot touch the pain of the party. It will encourage their prestige. At this point, we must be punished strictly!"

"The envoys from the two countries are constantly in exchange for exchanges, and they are still far from the point of fighting. The generals of the three yamen, Mo Duyan!"

Zhang Shixun was already very angry by Xu Ping. Seeing Liu Ping inserted in again, he was not polite in his words now.

The army cannot interfere in politics, this is a national policy. As soon as Zhang Shixun's words came out, Liu Ping had to shut up.

Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian didn't talk, and looked at Xu Ping with Zhao Zhen.

Xu Ping said slowly: "Send meticulous works to explore the geography of the border. If it is a little serious, you can treat it as an enemy country. When Dangxiang no longer wants to rebel, how can you just blame me? It is okay not to send ministers. Your Majesty only needs to send an eunuch Xiaohuangmen to hold a hand to explain it to reason and move it with emotion, so that he knows that this time he has violated Tianyan and should not be taken lightly!"

Zhao Zhen looked at several prime ministers and said, "It is better to send ministers to do this as my identity. If Yuan Hao suddenly wakes up this time, I can still mediate from it."

Xu Ping held the scepter and said, "Your Majesty is wise and kind-hearted, and always wants to leave a way out for Dangxiang Zhao Yuanhao. If he knew your Majesty's painstaking efforts, he would have stopped his horse and stopped doing his own arbitrary things!"

Lu Yijian also said: "The ministers who go to reprimand must tell Dangxiang what his Majesty wants."

As soon as this was said, he basically agreed with Xu Ping's opinion, so Zhang Shixun could not say anything.

Xu Ping also said: "If the Privy Council is inconvenient to send Dangxiang in detail, then I will talk about it later. However, this matter cannot be so easy to make up. Your Majesty's best to issue a handwritten edict and send the envoy to Zhao Yuanhao to explain why he should send Dangxiang to this matter clearly. Since he succeeded to the throne, what has been done, both inside and outside the court, Dangxiang is said to rebel against him, how he explained it. He had no choice but to make an oath."

After Xu Ping finished speaking, he looked at the people in the hall and saw that no one spoke. Obviously, in their hearts, they felt that doing this would be too much to save Zhao Yuanhao's face, and what should they do if they accidentally turn the tables.

Xu Ping sighed secretly, the more you are afraid that he will rebel, the more he will rebel. Is this truth really difficult to understand?
