    "I asked the officials not to investigate this." Zhang Kai was stunned.  "This is very bad. If not done well, it will arouse the court's suspicion of Wang Ju. In fact, even if there is no earth to cover the sky, some people will still worry about Wang Ju.  In any case, Wang Ju has too many elite soldiers and generals in his hands at this time. Even in Hedong Road, his relationship with Wang Ju is known to the world, and the army in Hedong Road itself needs to cooperate with Wang Ju's troops in Xixia and deal with it.  Possible Liao soldiers.  "Once there are many people who are suspicious and there are too many variables, don't say that the emperor believes in Wang Ju. Only three people can tell the truth!"  "Brother Zhifu, what do you think we should do? Look how many people were arrested during Duke Jiefu's reform?" In order to vilify Wang Anshi's reform, some people did everything they could. The most typical example is the case of cursing the prince and Dongming.  County events.  Wang Anshi had no choice but to dispatch the "Ouchi secret agents" from the Imperial City Division, and arrested countless people in the capital at one time.  However, Mao Yong, at best, disposed of two gun barrels, neither light nor heavy, in the case of cursing the prince. The big boss behind them did not move any of them. On the contrary, the more people he arrested, the more people opposed to the reform became more and more.  many.  Of course, there are still some differences in nature between the two. This year is particularly important. Whether the Song Dynasty can truly revive and whether it can truly "Zhengshuo" depends on this year. Therefore, as Fan Chunren worries, if Wang Ju insists on  If pursued, even if Wen Yanbo is retiring in his hometown, he can be found out and punished, at least he can be demoted to a certain state and put under control.  Don't ask for evidence. At this critical moment, no evidence is needed!  If the court did this, it would also be supporting Wang Ju in disguise.  So Zhang Kai said: "There are some differences between the two." "Brother Zhifu, when the moon is full, it will suffer losses, and when the water is full, it will overflow. Too much perfection may not be a good thing, so Xiao He tainted himself." Wang Ju said very implicitly,  In fact, what he meant was that everything has two sides. Although this rumor and prophecy is not very good, but on the other hand, he had this rumor and prophecy, like a thorn in his back, and it might reduce Zhao Xu's suspicion.  "What's more, I said that the officials are also angry, so it's time to stop. Besides, soon, Xixia used Zi'an's merits to outperform the sent slaves, break through Helan, and the mainstay, to drive a wedge between our kings and ministers.  If it is announced to the world, then ninety percent of the people will have doubts about this one thing." "That's it?" "You can say that's it, but you can't say that's it." Wang Ju gave up and moved on.  The topic was: "What news can we get from the north?" "The news from the north is not good. Its leader Yu Guhao paid homage to the Lord of Liao many times. The year before last, Yu Guhao and another leader of the Liao Dynasty, in the summer of the Liao Kingdom,  Nabo paid homage to the Lord of Liao, and the Lord of Liao felt his loyalty and ordered King Yelu Yanxi of Yan to befriend him. " Yelu Yanxi was the future Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom, the last emperor, and the current crown prince of the Liao Kingdom.  Wang Ju frowned.  The reason why Wang Ju asked Zhang Kai to inquire about Zubu's news was because the Jurchens in the Liao Kingdom had not experienced much turmoil in recent years, but Wugu Dilie and Zubu had many turmoils.  The reason is the same as the birth of Jurchen. First, it is the pain of paying tribute. Every year, Zubu needs to pay tribute to the Liao Kingdom in large quantities of tribute horses, camels, mink skins, green mouse skins and other goods.  Then there is the greed of the envoys and generals who defended the garrison in Weisanzhou.  The actual tribute cannot be made out of a molehill. Just like the Song Dynasty, the Khitan, Xi people, Han people, and Bohai people, as the main body of the Liao Kingdom, do not need to pay tribute, but they will pay taxes!  In fact, the main reason for the rebellion in the peripheral areas was the greed of officials and generals, which caused many conflicts.  Regarding this point, Wang Ju repeatedly emphasized that the court can add some extra salary to the officials and garrisons in various barbaric and Tibetan areas, but they must not disturb the people, and law enforcement and mediation must be fair, otherwise they will be dealt with severely.  The Song Dynasty continued to make mistakes in this regard, not to mention the relatively backward Liao Kingdom.  Wang Ju doesn't expect Zubu to rebel, but as long as he hears that Zubu has a bad relationship with the Khitan, he can send envoys to infiltrate Zubu and promise them some benefits. The reason is simple. As long as the Liao Kingdom wants to support Xixia, their main army will be defeated by women.  If the real person is dragging down, the army must be mobilized from Zubu.  People who block divination may not dare to disobey orders, but as long as they disobey the divination Yang and Yin, the difficulty and unpredictability of the crusade against Xixia will be reduced.  Actually, Wang Ju didn¡¯t remember much. In the future, a great figure appeared in Zunbu, who almost dragged the Liao Kingdom into the sea decades in advance.  But we can¡¯t blame the scouts for their incompetence. After all, there is Xixia in the middle. If Xixia can be captured, the scouts may be able to find out about this person, or this person may take the initiative to contact the Song Dynasty, but Xixia is separated by a sea.  "As for the Yeluna scout in Yunzhou, I also got some information. I heard that this person's father, Yelu Zhaosan, was in Pingyuan before.?Wugu Dilie had made military exploits during the rebellion and was worshiped as the King of Beiyuan by the Liao Kingdom.  This person is both civilized and military, his martial arts is not very good, but his ability to manage the people should not be underestimated. Because he is an honest official, benevolent to the people, and handles cases fairly, he is known for his benevolent administration and is deeply loved by the people in Yunzhou.  But what is interesting is that this man's father Yeluo was killed by the Xixia people when he went to Xixia with Xingzong of Liao Dynasty.  "Although it is interesting, in front of the country, it is impossible to sit back and watch the Song Dynasty annihilate Xixia for the sake of family feud. The Liao Kingdom has been established for a long time, and the Song Dynasty's previous weak performance has lost its cohesion with the Han people outside the country, so it is difficult for the people of Youyun to ignore it.  On the contrary, Wang Ju did not think about regaining the Yunshuo Prefecture behind the mountain now, so Yeruna Aimin's intelligence was of little use. Even if the Liao State sent troops to support Xixia, it would not send troops until the Song Dynasty officially launched its army.  , it is impossible to mobilize troops to Yunshuo in this ice and snow, and there are Jurchens dragging them. As for other news of possible actions, the scouts did not find out. But it was not Zhang Kai who was incompetent. The intelligence of the Song Dynasty was at its strongest.  At the time of Zhao Kuangyin, the Liao Kingdom had not yet sent troops to Hebei. The Song Dynasty heard the news. Before the Liao army reached the border, Tian Qinzuo had led thousands of cavalry to the front line. Therefore, at the time of Song Taizu, the Song Dynasty defeated the Liao Dynasty many times.  By the time of Zhao Kuangyi, restrictions on generals were becoming more and more stringent, not only on rights, but also on money and silk. Well, the intelligence system was rapidly corrupted. Although by the time of Wang Ju, intelligence was again valued, but the main targets were still the same.  Xixia, Zhang Kai was transferred to Hedong, and they also paid attention to intelligence, but because of the short time, it was difficult to get really useful information. Wang Ju thought for a while and said: "Continue to monitor, if the Liao Kingdom sends troops, I will have a fight with them."  .  " Can you succeed if you are afraid of this and afraid of that? The more you are afraid, the softer you will be! " Mr. Cai, have you heard that there are people in the capital spreading rumors that the earth can cover the sky and Sima has no sun?  "After the court, Shi Jian Xuchen, the imperial censor, stopped in front of Cai Que and asked. Fan Chunren frowned. Wang Ju told Zhao Xu not to pursue the case and Cai Que not to pursue the case. The others did not say anything. Now Fan Chunren was unsure.  , don't worry about causing trouble. And this Jian Xuchen is Wang Anshi's student, not only a student, but also with several other students of Wang Anshi, such as Wang Yu, Lu Huiqing, Cai Bian, Chang Zhi, Lu Dian, and Jian Xuchen.  , Deng Xunwu, Wang Ling, Gong Yuan, Xu Yuncheng, etc. are some of the most effective leaders in the promotion of new learning. Not only himself, but also his father Jian Zhoufu is the most radical new party. Now Jian Xuchen has become a minister.  Indeed, this was another big deal. Fan Chunren had a headache. He looked at Cai Que worriedly, but Cai Que looked very calm and asked: "So what if I heard about it, so what if I didn't hear about it?"  " "Why did the imperial court summon Uncle Lu Hui and Lu Weizhong to Beijing?  " This was also Cai Que's suggestion. Because there was a slight change in the personnel of the Prime Minister's Office, he wrote to Zhao Xu, suggesting that Lu Gongzhu be moved to the position of minister, and Lu Dafang to be the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. " Zhao Xu was confused, but Lu Dafang was okay.  Although he was an old party, he had a good relationship with Wang Ju because of Zhang Zai. However, Lu Gongzhu summoned Cai Que to the palace and asked him why.  The first point of view is that the Liao Kingdom continued to send envoys to suppress it, and the Song Dynasty now gained many territories in the northwest, which could be used to build the Liuling, Yellow River, Quwu Mountain, Tiandu Mountain, Hengshan and Yinzhou Waigu Great Walls  As a boundary, Xixia is not enough to harm, so the imperial court can stop the army. Moreover, if the army stops the army now, the country will not have any financial burden, and the people will not have to bear any risks. Among these four types of people, there is no need to bear any risks.  This view occupies the smallest proportion of ministers, but there are still many people who hold it, so it is also a mainstream view. As for those ministers who would sell out the interests of the country in order to suppress political opponents, there are very few, so it is okay.  Ignore it. The second view is ambiguous. They really can't decide whether to continue to annihilate Xixia or give up. The third view is that the Song Dynasty is now at its strongest, while Xixia is at its weakest.  This still spared Xixia, which would rarely have such a good opportunity in the future, and also seriously weakened the enthusiasm of the soldiers of the three armies. Song Taizong also said that the country is not in danger because of morality. At that time, Li Jiqian could only wander around in the desert. Who could have imagined that in the future, he would become a party member.  The great enemy of the Song Dynasty. Moreover, Xixia still owns Ganliang, Lingxia Plains and the North and South Hetao. Once a hero takes charge, the northwest will inevitably be corrupted again. But there is another view.  The Liao Kingdom may not be that powerful. The simplest example is that when Liao Xingzong conquered Xia, Hequ was defeated miserably, and our dynasty was at its most powerful and had a strong army.Ma Zhuang, if there were no major disasters or wars, the country's revenue would be a surplus of tens of millions every year.  Therefore, after regaining Xixia, we should take advantage of the victory to pursue the victory and capture the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures in one fell swoop. Only then would the Song Dynasty resolve the foreign troubles once and for all, and the country could truly be called Zhengshuo.  There are not many people who hold this last view now, but once Xixia is recovered, the number of people who hold this view will inevitably increase.  Not to mention others, even Zhao Xu himself, if he had regained Xixia and stabilized Xixia, and he was still alive, he would have ambitions for Youyun by then.  But this is what worries me the most.  Because the real situation is that the Song Dynasty¡¯s army is not that strong. If it is just for defense and the battlefield is placed within the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty has the right time, place and people, and there will be no danger on the northern border.  However, if we take the initiative to penetrate deep into the enemy territory and attack the Liao Kingdom, Hebei and Hedong will definitely become the main battlefield.  But these two places, especially Taiping, Hebei, have been here for too long, and neither the soldiers nor the people are accustomed to fighting.  Therefore, at the time of Renzong, Wang Lun and his party had only dozens of rebel bandits. From Jingdong Road to Huainan Road, they passed thousands of miles, and it was like entering a deserted place.  Wang Ze rebelled and defended Beizhou. The Song Dynasty mobilized so many soldiers and civilians that it took several months before they managed to capture Beizhou.  The wise thing to do is that after regaining Xixia, the Song Dynasty must stop and wait until the northwest is stable, and transfer a large number of soldiers who have been tested in the northwest battlefield to Hebei. By then, the national financial pressure will also be reduced, and some funds can be allocated.  Hebei and Hedong train more and stronger frontier troops. When the time comes, the Song Dynasty can advance and attack and retreat and defend. At least it will not need to pay the humiliating annual payment of 500,000 years to the Liao Kingdom.  Cai Que¡¯s implication is that with these conservative ministers in the court, including Fan Chunren and Li Qingchen, the radical ministers will not be able to completely control the court in the future, and will lead the Song Dynasty in an unpredictable direction.  This seems to be an explanation.  Then Cai Que added: "When Prince An was leaving, he deliberately went to the old minister's home, sat and talked for several hours, and also talked about this matter." This is a business matter. It is reasonable for two people to discuss it in Cai's house, which is against the rules of the court.  , but isn't it the time for the big holiday? Wang Ju hurried to Hedong for inspection again. Time is urgent. If the frontline wants a victory, it must have strong support from the rear. Wang Ju asked, it is understandable even if it is against the rules.  But the truth is not like this.  Let's talk about this radical thing first. If Zhao Xu lived for ten years without incident, or even blocked the "hero" from continuing, in less than ten years, Wang Ju would be able to lead the soldiers of the three armies and conquer all the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures for the Song Dynasty.  return.  Of course, after regaining Xixia, it must be stopped for two years, otherwise the finances will not be able to keep up, and forced use of troops will only hurt the people and weaken the winning rate.  "But this sentence cannot be said. How dare you two ministers curse that I will not live long!"  Therefore, we must prepare for the post-Zhao Xu era, or the Gao Taotao era. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? were?¡ª is that from the perspective of a monarch and courtiers, a large number of important ministers have to be replaced, not to mention party strife.  The early bigwigs of the old school, Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, Sima Guang, Fan Zhen and others, Han Fu, Sima and others are all dead. Fan Zhen is not dead, but he has been ill in bed for a long time and is dying, so there is no need to think about it.  Lao Wen is in good health, but he is over 80 years old. If he wants to take power, he must review government affairs, appoint and remove officials, and install cronies. This is undoubtedly a bit beyond his ability for Wen Yanbo now. In the future, Lao Wen will not have rights, but just  Huge prestige.  Therefore, those who will hold the most power in the future may be the old-school bosses, such as Lu Gongzu, Feng Jing, Fan Chunren, Li Qingchen, Sun Gu, Lu Dafang, Xiao Su, Liu Zhi, Wang Yansou, Sun Jue, An Tao, Liang  Tao, Su Song, Han Zhongyan, Fan Bailu and so on.  Sun Gu, An Tao and others, never thought of being on good terms with Wang Ju. They would most likely hate the laws and policies issued by Wang Ju. Of course, they would also retaliate against Cai Que.  But although Fan Chunren, Li Qingchen and others did not agree with Wang Ju's views, they did not have too many conflicts, and at least they got along pretty well.  So Wang Ju suggested that Cai Que should promote Er Lu again. First, although these two people were from the old school, they were not very inspiring and were more or less old school bosses with a bottom line. Secondly, these two people had little conflict with Wang Cai.  Because Wang Ju and Cai Que suggested that they should not be grateful in the future, at least they would not pursue Wang Cai fiercely.  Then even if Sun Gu'an Tao and others come to power in the future, they will not be able to successfully destroy Wang Ju's decree, and it will also ensure Cai Que's future safety.  There is another problem. The imperial court opened up Dali and Jiaozhi, and also expanded the governance of the area south of Kuixia Road. In the future, the issue of ethnic groups will also be a top priority. Lu Dafang did a pretty good job in the south. With him in the court,  There will not be much problem with ethnic policies in the South or even the Northwest.  But later Wang Ju changed this approach, not continuing, but accelerating the destruction of these laws.  However, this step is not considered useless, at leastBecause of this arrangement, no one thought that Wang Ju was behind the craziness of those people.  Zhao Xu would definitely not have thought about what would happen after my death, so he thought for a moment and said, "Yes." So soon the court issued two appointment edicts, but these two edicts caused more ministers to have bad associations.  .  Is it because of this rumor that the emperor was suspicious, so he recalled Lu Gongzhu and Lu Dafang to the capital and entered the Zaifu?  This is not a good sign. Not only has the opportunity to regain Xixia been missed, but there may be more serious turmoil within the Song Dynasty.  Cai Que was helpless. He knew all the truth, but he couldn't tell these truths. He twisted his eyebrows and had to say: "Tell me, where is Zian now?" "Northwest." "Is the court interested or someone has suggested it?  , transfer Zian away from the northwest? "To be continued.  8
