I became the son of Renzong

"Officials, veterans don't care about the implication of climbing mountains. Today is not what it used to be, and the situation in Han Dynasty is incomparable with the current state. The veteran wants to know the reason why the officials ordered Zhong Hubei to send troops to Dachuanling..."

After Fu Bi finished speaking, all the ministers nodded in unison.

Indeed, none of the current ministers in the political affairs hall is a pedantic pure literati.Whether it is the connection between heaven and man, or the inheritance of Han Confucianism, these few people are not of the nature of studying by rote.

Rather than the meaning, they wanted to know how the officials knew that the Beiliao Society had identified Mount Baideng as the place to sign the covenant.

"I'm not judging in advance that the Northern Liao Dynasty will determine Baideng Mountain as the place to sign the covenant, but the danger of Dachuanling can be determined, and the terrain there determines the role of Dachuanling."

"Everyone, please see that the Zhong'e army has basically firmly grasped the Yingzhou area, and now it is not wrong to say that Yingzhou is a border state of the country."

"And Di Qing's army wiped out the area of ​​Yunzhou, and basically controlled Yunzhou. The place where the Beiliao chose to negotiate would definitely not choose Yunying Two Prefectures."

"Similarly, I, Song Dynasty, would not agree to choose Weizhou and Hongzhou, the two state cities controlled by the Northern Liao Dynasty. Therefore, the place to sign the covenant can only be in the wild, or the wild where the two sides staggered after the war."

"The south of Dachuanling is steep mountains and cliffs, and the east and west are accompanied by the Sanggan River. To the north, there is a canyon that can parallel ten war horses. It is less than a hundred miles east of Yunzhou."

"As long as the place where the covenant was signed is in the wild, the Dachuanling ambush may pose a threat to the place where the covenant was signed."

After the training of the Imperial City Division, the actual surveyed terrain still has a certain reference value.

Following Zhao Xi's explanation, everyone will look at it against the sand table... The importance of Dachuanling is very clear.

However, Xianggong was still shocked by the official's prediction.

But the terrain is familiar... This is Zhao Xi's explanation.No matter who it is, if you stare at a place for a year or so, you can still imprint that terrain in your mind.

Mr. Zheng Shitang may not be swayed by Bai Dengshan's meaning, but Zhao Xi did not expect such a big controversy in the court.Zhao Xi is extremely suspicious that it's all because of being idle.

During the war, everyone was worried about the outcome of the battle. The court was once very quiet, no one was talking about it, and there were no long-winded memorials.The courts perform their duties, and the yamen operate normally.

Now that the Battle of Hedong Road has come to an end, the courtiers have begun to look for a sense of presence again.

At any rate, they all read the books of sages and sages. Zhao Xi didn't believe that the courtiers didn't know about the so-called nonsense and strange power.Just to dissuade him from rejecting Beiliao.

It can't be said that it is wrong, they have indeed expressed their importance to the safety of officials' lives.Let them go, they are used to it.

To be honest, in Zhao Xi's opinion, there is no more suitable place to sign a contract than the Baideng Mountain area.If he could choose another location acceptable to both parties, he didn't want the courtiers to be so verbose.

Besides, the reason why Zhao Xi allowed Beiliao to set the time and place was a kind of contempt in his heart, and he wanted to express to Beiliao: I, Song Dynasty, don't care!

In other words, we have the ability to not care about your Beiliao playing tricks.

There is no such thing as war. Whether it is the financial situation of the imperial court, the construction of the workshop city, or the soldiers who have fought in the past year, they have basically reached a critical point.

Chong'e attacked Dachuanling, and Guo Kui's ambush against the Liao army was more like a bluff, and the purpose was more like deterrence.

With less than [-] soldiers, they need to be responsible for the stability of the four states, and it will not be so easy to deploy troops to fight.

The four prefectures of Yun, Shuo, Ying, and Huan are not states under the governance of the Guo Dynasty, but cities that have just been taken down from the enemy. The task of stability is even more arduous than attacking.

Some people may think that, after all, it is a city dominated by Han people, and they have long expected Master Wang to go north and welcome Master Wang to take over as if they were relatives.

But Zhao Xi knew that this was impossible.There are many such things in later generations, even if it is peacefully restored, there will still be stubborn elements causing troubles.What's more, it was fought abruptly. Most of the Lin Yajun who were killed in the war were from these four prefectures.

The Northern Liao established the Khitan Dynasty earlier than the Song Dynasty. It has ruled the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun for more than 100 years. The people of the four prefectures hardly agree with the orthodox dynasty of the Central Plains.

Under such a general trend, how easy is it to expect a smooth takeover?

However, no matter whether it was the imperial court or the army, the feelings for the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun did not weaken because of being ruled by the Northern Liao Dynasty for more than a hundred years, on the contrary, they became stronger.

Blood relatives of the same race... Guochao has always recognized the people of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun in this way.

Judging from the reports after the war, the internal affairs of the four prefectures were quite complicated.

Di Qing and others were not good at managing government affairs, and the civil servants who were sent in the past were too inclined to the governance methods of kings and sages.The stability of the entire four states is actually a mess.

I hope Han Zhigui can change the current situation!

Allowing Beiliao to choose the time and place to sign the covenant is because Beiliao does not want to let Beiliao see that the imperial army is at the end of its strength, and put on a posture that I don't care, in order to take the initiative in the negotiation.

At this time, the more belligerent Guochao is, the less likely it is to actually start a war. Once the bottom is revealed, the war will break out again.

After all, it is much easier for Beiliao to organize a large army capable of fighting than Guochao.

Chapter 557

The Liao envoy went back to return to his mission, and Da Song agreed to sign a covenant at Baideng Mountain, so he could go back and return to his mission.

As for the specific time, how Dachuanling will be jointly deployed by both parties, and the determination of the boundary line, etc., these are all matters for the negotiating team.

The thing is like this, until the kings of the two countries have not reached an agreement on signing the covenant, the negotiating teams of the two sides will not have contact.Only when the kings of both sides have reached an understanding can the negotiation be facilitated, and it is necessary to negotiate the details of all aspects.

The next thing is for Han Qi to lead the team.

As for the courtiers who asked the court to think twice about the place where Bai Dengshan signed the contract, the moment the court replied to the Liao envoy, no one mentioned it... just express their concern about state affairs appropriately, there is no need to fight the court.Everyone understands that this is the unanimous agreement of the officials and the Zhengshitang, so why bother with that.

Besides, the officials' plans for the three-level decision-making system have been leaked intentionally or unintentionally by the ministers...

There are three levels: court council-government-cabinet, each level has functions at each level, and each level has rights at each level, and this is a reform of the official system that involves a wide range of aspects, from titles, dispatches, officials, salaries and other comprehensive reforms.

No one wants to get what they want in this reform. At this time, it is really unnecessary to confront the officials and the husband.

I heard that even Sima Guang and Ouyang Xiu privately expressed their annoyance at leaving the Zhengshitang, and even heard that the deposed envoys were busy thinking about returning to the court before the reform.

At this moment, who has nothing to provoke the impatience of the Zhengshitang and the officials?

The bureaucracy reform plan approved by both the political affairs hall and the officials must be implemented, just like the unanimous agreement to sign the covenant with Beiliao in Baideng Mountain.

"The stability of the four states is not optimistic!"

This is already Han Qi's second memorial, and it describes in detail the plight of the governance of the four states.

Fu Bi felt a toothache looking at it.

"Same family, same culture, Wang Shi went north to recover, how could such a situation happen?"

It's not that Wang Anshi has a problem with Han Qi... maybe.Questioning Han Qi's memorial, I really feel that Han Zhigui is a bit alarmist.

The last memorial was temporarily shelved after asking the officials for instructions because the political affairs hall did not have a unified opinion, and the imperial court was still in a tussle with the Northern Liao Dynasty.

I hope time can change the situation, but unfortunately time is too short.

The official's opinion on the Zhengshitang last time was undeniable.Now Han Zhigui once again invites... the court has reached the point where it must give advice.

"Let's discuss the matter face to face."

Regarding Wang Anshi's statement, most of the ministers agree, and they all think that the situation Han Qi played should not happen.
