I blew on my body, but I didn't feel a hint of chill, and it made me feel irritated.

Xu Ping followed Xiaohuangmen on the road to the palace, thinking about his thoughts, but he didn't know where he was.

The final result during the day was to respect the opinions of the magistrates and immediately recover the envoys of Dangxiang. After entering the capital, the Privy Council came forward and sent a deputy envoy to blame him in person and confiscate all the texts and papers. The Deputy Privy Councilor who came forward also decided on the spot that it was Wang Deyong. He was a general, so Liang gave Dangxiang an attitude.

As for Xu Ping's detailed sects and investigations into Dangxiang's military deployment, the priests believed that the hostility was too heavy and were worried that Zhao Yuanhao would be forced to rebel suddenly and were rejected. Zhao Zhen issued an edict to Zhao Yuanhao, accusing him of accusing him and ordering him to explain the whole matter, which was also rejected, and instead took back the original letter of nationality and awakened him in the new letter of nationality.

Zhang Shixun did not dare to pat his chest and said that Dangxiang would not rebel. He agreed to make a new military deployment and transferred 20,000 imperial guards to Shaanxi Road and Hedong Road. As for the specific military deployment and generals, we will discuss it later.

Xu Ping was very dissatisfied with this kind of treatment. The decision-makers did not dare to make up their minds. They were half-hearted and could not solve the problem. It seemed that everything was covered, but in fact it could not solve any problem. But there was no way. The policy inertia of the bureaucracy was very amazing, and they could not do it at all. Unless an extremely serious incident occurred, the earth was shaken, and the determination was made from the highest level, the big ship could turn around.

Zhao Zhen was actually not satisfied, but what could he do? No matter how unsatisfied he could only pinch his nose and recognize him. The court under his control had already suffered a serious bureaucratic disease and could not be corrected in a short time. In fact, a lot of power, including some decision-making power, was not in his hands.

At this time, the power of a prime minister is still very weak in the face of imperial power, but if all the powers of the prime minister are added together, the power of the prime minister is very huge. Although it is not as good as that of the Qin and Han Dynasties, it is not inferior to the subordinates of the Tang Dynasty's Zhongshu.

It was precisely because he was dissatisfied with the handling results that after the separation, Zhao Zhen asked Xu Ping to enter the palace at night for a routine consultation. This was a routine work of the minister of attendants. If he was not aware of the consultant, why would he be called an attendant?

After entering Tianzhang Pavilion, Zhao Zhen gave him a seat and gave him tea soup as usual.

When Xu Ping sat down, Zhao Zhen asked, "It has been two months. How are you in good health now?"

Xu Ping held the scepter and replied, "Your Majesty, you have recovered briefly, but you still can't eat anything that is hot, hot, sweet and sweet."

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, you should rest at home. Take care of the affairs in the yamen and don't have to attend court meetings. - Now you go to court every day, and you don't have any intention."

Now the Sansi Department has no major issues, and the real tricky affairs are just those trivial matters. In a few months, Xu Ping basically retrained the officials of the Sansi Department, and the new amendment regulations have been completed, but they were stuck in the Zhongshu. However, the training of the personnel does not mean that the entire yamen has been completely renewed from now on.

The conflict between the new and the old has always been like this. In the early stages, all obstacles were cleared away. The thunder was thunderous and swept, and the victory was indeed in the hands. But when everything new came into reality and penetrated into every corner, you would encounter the strongest and most stubborn obstacle forces. If you accidentally, these conservative forces will accumulate from every pore, and the streams merged into rivers, causing huge waves, and all previous efforts were destroyed.

If the Sansi Yamen is compared to a big tree, then the official level is the main trunk of the tree, and the direction and process of reform are completely controlled by Xu Ping. However, what is truly in contact with all aspects of society is precisely the branches, leaves, and small roots underground. Only when the new system reaches this point will it encounter the greatest resistance.

The trained new officials arrived at their positions. The new system required them, and the actual situation also required them. There were often fierce conflicts between the two. The conflict between Sansi Xinpuzi and the powerful a few days ago was just a small matter that was manifested, and there were many such things.

This is the case with reform. Even if all decisions are made correctly, it has gone from being vigorous at the beginning to being in the bottleneck period, to being smoothed out after smoothing out the flow, and then to being slowly moving towards guarding after the new system is adapted, slowly becoming a constraint and a force hindering social development, and has to reform again.

Reform is absolute, and non-reform is relative. There is no perfect system in the world, and this is also a dialectical method.

At Zhao Zhen's request, Xu Ping's memorials were very diligent. Zhao Zhen gradually became familiar with Xu Ping's ideas from these memorials and was also affected, and he himself was inevitably influenced by these ideas.

After eating tea soup, Zhao Zhen said: "I won't talk about this tonight. I'll ask you to come, but I'll ask Dangxiang about it. Today I also see that you have a lot of disagreement with the ministers in the court. I want to hear what you think alone."

Xu Ping reconciled his thoughts and looked up at Zhao Zhen and said, "Your Majesty, if I say that Zhao Yuanhao of Dangxiang will definitely rebel in the future. I don't know if Your Majesty believes it or not?"

Zhao Zhen was stunned: "Do you really think Yuanhao will definitely rebel?"

"Yes, and I'm afraid it won't take long, at least three to five years, or more than ten years. With today's matters coming out, the court will send some troops to the northwest, which may disrupt his deployment and delay it for a few years."

Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly: "Why don't you say this during the day when you are in Chongzheng Hall?"

"The national affairs will affect the whole body, and it is impossible to change the national policy because of a person's guess. According to the current situation of the Privy Council, they really forced them to shift the focus of their deployment from the north to the northwest, for fear of chaos. If they make the originally calm Khitan lucky, the north will become nervous, and it will be bad. His Majesty knows it. After taking advantage of the years to adjust it well, the best results will not be achieved, but there will be no major chaos."

Zhao Zhen nodded and said nothing for a moment. A few party-enterprise-level works have already made the Privy Council busy. If they are forced to adjust their strategic arrangements, they must be careful to cause chaos. Moreover, most of the generals in the Three Yas are old officials of the vassal states during the late emperor's time and are also facing personnel adjustments. Liu Ping is just the beginning, and Zhao Zhen, the general behind the army, will slowly replace them all, but the key is that no one is available in his hands.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Zhen asked: "Why do you think Dang Xiang Yuanhao will definitely rebel?"

Because the history textbook of his previous life was written, with less than a hundred words, he knew that he was definitely not willing to be inferior to others. Even if he took great risks, he would have been addicted to the emperor at all costs.

However, this cannot be said to Zhao Zhen. Xu Ping said: "Your Majesty, although I don't know much about what Yuan Hao has done in Dangxiang in recent years, he knows that he can't do it. Since Zhao Deming's death and Yuan Hao succeeded to the throne, almost all the old ministers of Dangxiang were replaced by him with new people. The Dangxiang official system was also imitated by the current dynasty and Khitan, and many more were added. And he ordered that no matter Hu Han in the territory, they would shave their hair, change their clothes, and make people write Dangxiang's words. I did not do anything as fierce as him in the Sansi, and there were also various opposition forces to respond.

It is said that the Hu people are not very smart, but no matter how stupid they are, they cannot let him do so. At this time, Dangxiang must have many people who oppose Yuan Hao. How to deal with these opposition people and forces? Although Zhao Yuanhao was cunning, he had never heard of how meticulous he was doing. Then if he suppressed these opposition forces, there was only one way to go, that is, to go to war. Either go west, pointing the finger at the Tubo tribes and Hexi. In fact, Dangxiang has never stopped developing there in recent years. If he continues, he is afraid that they will not be able to fight to the west."

Speaking of this, Xu Ping sighed: "In this way, as long as you suffer a defeat in Tubo and Hexi, Dangxiang's war will only point to the east, either the Khitan or the dynasty. - As for the words of the minister, Zhao Yuanhao's mind has not been broken, he will not tease the Khitan, so he will have to start a war against this dynasty."

Zhao Yuanhao also faced serious internal conflicts, and it was even more serious than the Song Dynasty. Xu Ping could draw a conclusion by just using the information he saw in daily life. If the internal conflicts cannot be resolved, then he could only shift to external conflicts. Dangxiang's war steps could not stop at all. Once he stopped, Zhao Yuanhao would be dead himself.

All the troops in Hexi, Tubo, and the Dangxiang areas that are easy to fight have basically been fought. Now they are facing the Kyusila in the Hehuang area. Judging from the information they have obtained, Zhao Yuanhao does not have an advantage over Kyusila. Even if it is just a marginal area, Zhao Yuanhao will sooner or later fall into a big root.

Once the westward expansion is blocked, Dangxiang can count the time for anti-Song Dynasty. Zhao Yuanhao is not enough to fully control Dangxiang in a peaceful state. He must carry out military adventures and use the victory of foreign wars to suppress domestic opposition forces. The best direction of military adventure is the Song Dynasty, who makes the Song Dynasty look easy to bully?

Don’t guess the inner subjective ideas of a ruler. Starting from objective facts and peeling off the cocoon, this is Xu Ping’s principle of analyzing things. From this point of view, Xu Ping firmly believes that even if he has himself, even if he has influenced the foreign policy of the Song Dynasty, the Dangxiang still needs to be opposed and must be opposed.

Zhao Zhen was also trying to adapt to Xu Ping's idea of ​​analyzing problems, but he was still a little uncomfortable. Zhao Yuanhao was unstable within the Dangxiang, so why did he have to oppose Song Dynasty? Zhao Zhen felt a little bit, but he was still not so clear.
