I became the son of Renzong

Zhao Xi understood Wang Anshi's answer was not what he asked.Whether to accept Yelv Yixin is related to the entry of the envoys of the Beiliao Dynasty, which means that they still want to maintain the normalization of diplomatic relations with the Beiliao Dynasty.

"Officials, ministers, etc. discussed that the imperial court will negotiate the current border with Beiliao on the condition of whether to accept Yelu Yixin. The border between Beiliao and Guochao needs to be redefined..."

Yelu Yixin promised to send the sixteen prefectures respectfully, how many prefectures would the Northern Liao court agree to return for Yelu Yixin?Zhao Xi felt that the cabinet ministers were thinking too much.

Although the strength of the Northern Liao Dynasty has been greatly reduced after the civil strife, it will never lower its head that has been raised for more than a hundred years before it has a large-scale war with the country.

The threat of the imperial court, I am afraid that the Northern Liao court will not give in...

The cabinet's judgment may not be accurate, but after all, it is a rare feat, and Zhao Xi really doesn't want to hit it.

There should be time, but you can try it.

"When will the auxiliary cavalry be able to start the battle?"

Wang Anshi was taken aback by the officials' irrelevant questions.

"Back to the official's house, after more than three months of training, the auxiliary cavalry can be used at any time, but this time the training time is in the winter when the horses are fattening, and a lot of horses were wasted. Although the horses are all cavaliers, the imperial court ..."

Zhang Dun quickly answered the question.He and Wang Shao were responsible for this, and Wang Shao had talked to him about wasting war horses.

"The imperial court exchanged the war horses for money to compensate the Fanqi soldiers. Is the imperial court's finances okay?"

"Going back to the official's house, tens of thousands of war horses will not affect the court's support."

Now the court has plenty of money.Two or three years ago, when it was agreed to fight the Northern Liao Dynasty, the imperial court was already accumulating money and food for the war. Tens of thousands of war horses were really nothing.

Xue Xiang has such confidence, not to mention tens of thousands of war horses, even if the war starts now, the court can still support it for three or two years.

"Since this is the case... then put all the auxiliary troops into the battle formation. Moreover, I think that all the frontier troops of the country can be assembled to the border, including Lanzhou Road, Hexi Road, Hedong Road, etc., to achieve The whole line is under pressure..."

"Official..."

Wang Anshi was stunned, unable to understand the purpose of the officials doing this at this time...

"Prince Wang, the cabinet is considering negotiating with the court of the Northern Liao Dynasty on whether to accept Yelu Yixin on the condition of redrawing the border line. I think that the court of the Northern Liao Dynasty may not agree. Beiliao accept it."

"However, I think that there is one thing that needs to be prepared by the cabinet as early as possible. Yelu Yixin's rebel army will definitely not be taken in by the court. But what about those family members?"

"For the court of the Northern Liao Dynasty, those people are family members of rebels, but for my Great Song Dynasty, those civilians who just want to enter the court. According to the contract and regulations with the Northern Liao Dynasty, there is no reason for the court not to accept it, right?"

Chapter 903 What Jifu said is very true

This is the spirit of humanitarianism...

However, Zhao Xi didn't talk about humanitarian spirit with the ministers and workers. This term has not yet existed in this era. Zhao Xi didn't explain the idea of ​​this term, and simply used the Guochao's acceptance of refugees from the Northern Liao Dynasty as an excuse.

In fact, Zhao Xi didn't really want to promote any humanitarian spirit. He felt that pushing Yelu Yixin out like this would not fully reflect the value of this group of rebels.

Some things cannot be said bluntly, and the servants need to understand the intention.

"All the troops on the frontier are suppressing the border. Unless Beiliao returns all the remaining twelve prefectures, how can it be worthy of the imperial court's mobilization of troops?"

"Are the officials creating a problem for the cabinet? The rebel army led by Yelu Yixin is no match for Yan Yun in terms of the Northern Liao Dynasty. The old man thinks that Yelu Yixin did not use such conditions to fight against the Northern Liao court. negotiated."

To be honest, Wang Anshi is really incapable of conspiring, or in other words, he is the kind of upright person.

Regarding the civil strife in Northern Liao and Yelu Yixin's rebellion, if it weren't for the thinking of the majority of the cabinet and the officials, Wang Anshi would have chosen to attack Yelu Yixin directly instead of Pili Yangqiu's approach.

Out of consideration for the interests of the country, Wang Anshi proceeded from the overall situation and led the so-called actions against the civil strife in Northern Liao against his will.For the sake of the Song Dynasty, the stubborn Wang Anshi can also be changed.

"Prince Wang, how many prefectures can the Northern Liao court return if there is no large army to overwhelm the border?"

Zhang Dun belongs to the temperament that does not talk about the process, but pays attention to the result, and even says that it doesn't matter if he uses everything in the process.

"I'm afraid not even one state will return it!"

Wang Anshi still has this judgment.

"In righteousness, the imperial court cannot accept Yelu Yixin's rebels. From the standpoint of the Song court, it cannot accept the rebels. Then, the Northern Liao Dynasty will not return Yanyun's state city, and will even return it to the imperial court. Now advance the occupation of the territory to start negotiations."

"As far as Song Dynasty is concerned, what choice should I make? Returning the occupied territory would be humiliating and humiliating the country. I wait for this cabinet to bear the infamy. If I don't return it, there is bound to be a possibility of war."

"Once the war breaks out, during the war between the Northern Liao Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, Yelu Yixin will surely be able to breathe, and it is not impossible to even benefit from it. Another possibility is that the imperial court is watching from the sidelines, and the Northern Liao Dynasty is annihilating the Yelu Yixin rebel During the military period, will the flames of war affect Hebei Province? How should Guochao deal with it?"

"It's better to take the initiative instead of responding passively. Sending large-scale troops is a deterrent to the court of the Northern Liao Dynasty and Yelv Yixin. At the same time, it can also prepare in advance for the upcoming chaos."

What Zhang Dun said, Wang Anshi couldn't think of it, but such a mobilization of teachers and people will eventually fail to talk about a few state cities. For the court, it is a failure.

For large-scale deployment of troops, the imperial court has to spend money and food.In addition, auxiliary riders enter the battle sequence, horse compensation and so on.The court suffered a huge loss from this water sale...

Guochao is now rich, and the court's finances are very rich, but they are all preparing to recover Yanyun.

With the government's decree, if the cabinet can't talk about a few state cities, it really can't be justified.

Negotiations, negotiations involving borders, or negotiations about redefining borders without a fight, would that be that easy?

"Everyone, I'm thinking that what the officials say is that the country cannot accept rebels. If the court accepts the family members of the rebels as civilians, this is not in conflict with the Hedong contract between the country and the Northern Liao Dynasty, and the Northern Liao court has no objection." reason."

"Since this is the case, the imperial court has a backhand when negotiating with Beiliao. The so-called backhand is the method of treating this group of rebels and their families differently..."

Lu Huiqing likes to think about officials the most, and she has been like this since a long time ago.He always felt that the officials didn't mean what Zhang Dun said, let alone what Wang Anshi said to make it more difficult for the cabinet.

Lu Huiqing focused on what the officials said: rebels are rebels, and family members are family members...

"Jifu, tell me in detail."

Wang Anshi may be getting older, and he is a bit like Xiang Fubi when he was prime minister. He no longer stands out for himself, but tries his best to coordinate the relationship between the cabinet and the cabinet, the cabinet and ministers, the cabinet and the officials, and so on.

However, the blame that should be borne must be borne.At this time, he also knew that the former Fu Bi Fu Yanguo also had a lot of blame between the cabinet and the officials.

"Prince Wang, gentlemen, Hui Qing thinks that Yelu Yixin's rebellion, apart from his ambition, also has many of his actions being noticed by the Liao Emperor, and he considers the reason for his end. The reason for his rebellion is to give himself a chance."

"The same is true for those loyal followers of Yelu Yixin. They have participated in many affairs of Yelu Yixin, from entrapping Empress Xiao, murdering the prince, and finally the grandson of the emperor. Only when there is no way out, will there be Such loyalty."

"If we say that when the incident started, these people still had a good future for themselves, but now, they are more concerned about how to survive."

"Once the imperial court comes into contact with Beiliao, no matter what happens in the end, the fate of this group of rebels is almost doomed. What will happen to them? Huiqing thinks, or they will die, and then accumulate strength and courage to fight Beiliao. There is another possibility This is Yelu Yixin repeating his old tricks, using rogue methods to break up the rebel army into pieces, and causing chaos in the country."

This is almost certain.It was the first time Yelu Yixin sent troops into the country to cause chaos, and he didn't kill a single person, just to prepare for today.At the same time, the behavior that time was also a reminder to the Song court.

Now, Yelu Yixin has reached the end of his life, so there will be no more taboos.

From this point of view, if the court does not accept the rebels, it may mean that the resentment of the rebels towards the country is greater than that of the Northern Liao court... Such psychologically distorted ideas are really uncommon.

The cabinet agreed with Lu Huiqing's remarks.

"But what if Guochao agrees to accept the family members? At one time and another, I once wanted to win a future rebel for myself. What if I can win a place for the family members at this time?"
