After all, it was such a major event as the Great Patriotic War, and Xinlan, who adhered to the principle of fairness and openness, would certainly not practice secrecy and set a national policy in private. And at the court meeting, no matter who is actually in power, they must also respect the emperor Longji, which is the attitude that Xinlan has already expressed in the past three months.

And Longji also has a lot of trust in Xinlan, not to engage in blood edicts, ambush swords and axes, and prepare a set of more than 20 small internal officials, and Liu Tian, who often runs out, is no exception.

This is the case at the highest level, and the Song Dynasty did not use "morality" to oppress the scholar group of political opponents, and the vitality of Jinyiwei was greatly damaged, and the internal officials have never had real power...... At least in the imperial court centered on Luoyang, there was a clear atmosphere that could only be found in the early days of the founding of the country.

Of course, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the communication is blocked, and there must be some flaws on the border, and even if people have the courage to fight against foreign enemies, it does not prevent them from looking for reasons to excuse themselves when they fail, and the two do not conflict, nor do they say that the latter is correct and tolerable, but the objective facts must be known.

Huang Tianhua was promoted to the eighth rank in the civil war, and his fame increased greatly, and of course he should be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he also took advantage of the situation to go under the bright stage - although many people did not want to see him.

Moreover, at first glance, the Jinyi Guard's commander is in the light, which can increase the trust of the hundred officials, but this is not the case, the Jinyi Guard who is responsible for collecting intelligence is still hidden in the shadows, and the commanders on the surface can still use the handles collected secretly to blackmail officials, and even deceive the superiors and subordinates, and disrupt the court...... Even if the corresponding system is formulated, it is just to add a supervision department to supervise Jinyiwei, which is a palliative approach that does not cure the root cause.

"Then why do you want to appoint a new commander, or not simply remove the Jinyi Guard?" asked Longi.

"You only see the disadvantages of Jinyiwei, but you don't see their positive significance, which is not right, and Lei Tianhua is a trustworthy candidate. ”

Longji knew that what Xinlan said was right, but it was precisely because of this that he felt a little sad, the system and rules that he had worked hard to establish were not as good as a person with good moral character to take up a key position in the end, or was the truth that the rules were just a tool used by him, the emperor, to fool the people below? For him, as an emperor, this seemed to be something to be happy about, but for some reason, when he thought of the excitement on the faces of the people of the world and those who rebelled against the people, Longji felt unhappy.

Even in the end, it is shameful to maintain its own rule, and LONGi hopes to do a good job and conscience, so that everyone in the world can share the joy of success with him.

Fortunately, Xinlan answered his confusion.

"No matter how perfect the system and rules are, there will definitely be loopholes, and we human beings will definitely take advantage of the loopholes, but we have more people who are abiding by the rules, and among them, there will definitely be people who maintain the system...... It is true that people with high moral character play a decisive role, and elite governance is also the way I admire, but it is precisely the continuous improvement of the system that allows us to discover these talents and give them the soil to grow. As an emperor, you can not be a wise monarch, but you must be a monarch who knows how to promote talents and know how to change. ”

"Of course, Jinyiwei has hidden dangers, and the commander cannot always be an upright person like Huang Tianhua, but at that time you can make changes, the value of the existence of the legal system is people-oriented, and it must be constantly changed according to the progress of society, and if you want to govern the country for thousands of years with a set of ancestral laws, it is destined to not last long, and your appointment should also be tailored to the available talent elite, a position cannot always have the right talent, but the lack of suitable talents will never be less. ”

Xinlan didn't completely point it out, and naturally didn't tell Longji about the difficulty of doing this, but Longji was not afraid, and he was confident that future generations would continue to be brave in the future—or that he must be brave, because this is what an incompetent person like him can do and should do.

The person who also understands what he can do is Lei Tianhua, who is burdened with the reputation of a new powerhouse, and is burdened with the disgraceful and responsible position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, when will he not stand up at this time?

In Lei Tianhua's mind, compared to digging up the dirty things of officials, Jinyiwei's real job should be to protect the family and the country as a secret agent!

At the time of the national crisis, of course Xinlan would not say that she was afraid that Lei Tianhua's family would have a young wife and brother, but she would prefer to lead by example, such as letting one of the real bodies go together-

"Please Your Highness Xinlan don't waste too much manpower!" Lei Tianhua refused in extremely formal words, "Our Jinyi Guard is capable of this job!"

Seeing that Lei Tianhua had a tendency to make a military order, Xinlan had to dispel this idea. This is not to say that Xinlan's pampering of soldiers has saved them from the punishment of defeat, but Xinlan hopes that they can have a more worry-free attitude to fight, because retreat can sometimes be more flexible in tactics than stubborn defense.

Adhering to this concept, Xinlan allowed Lei Tianhua to travel, but also gave him other tasks.

"If the intelligence is false, but the facts are developing in this way, I hope you will give the order for the Northern Army to withdraw. ”

Everyone was shocked, because Xinlan was tantamount to publicly abandoning the north, even if her thinking was correct, her approach would definitely cause countless controversies and condemnations.

Feeling Xinlan's consistent consciousness of betraying the blame, Lei Tianhua took a deep breath, and privately set up a military order for himself in his heart, before kneeling to accept the task.

The situation is urgent, and the soldiers are fast. After discussing this matter, Lei Tianhua left the palace with the official document and the token given by the emperor before the court meeting was dissolved, and quickly set off towards the north gate.

On the way, Lang Qing had already prepared the earth dragon and waited for him.

"Everybody's already on the move. ”

"That's good. ”

Lei Tianhua was not surprised, jumped on an earth dragon and left. They say it's a proposal, but in fact they're cutting it first and then it's a prelude.

In fact, the investigation work has always been done by Jinyiwei, but everything is important and light, and they did not expect that the communication would be blocked nationwide, so they just left a few simple communication channels and arranged the main personnel on the northern border, as a result, most of the communication channels are now unconnected, and the connections can only bring news from one place, which seriously affects the judgment of the imperial court.

Therefore, Lei Tianhua's trip to the north this time was not to lead the army to rescue or something, but to reconstruct the communication channels, or to arrange the intelligence network, so as to understand the real situation in the north more comprehensively.

Of course, now he is still in charge of the military order to make the Northern Army retreat.

"Will those guys retreat? And, after the news is blocked, will they trust us?" Lang Qing asked in a deliberative manner.

"Don't worry, I'm sure your companions will help us. ”

Lang Qing was silent, of course, the only one who could be called an adult by Lei Tianhua was Zhang Gongjin.

Since then, Zhang Gongjin has officially stepped down from Jinyiwei and become Li Yaoshi's staff officer, but after they cut off communication with Jinyiwei on the border, it is not necessary to think who the leaderless Jinyiwei will find to lead.

It's just that Lei Tianhua has a lot of confidence in Zhang Gongjin, just like he has confidence in Lang Qing - even if he sees that he always has an empty earth dragon, he doesn't care.

It didn't take long to pass through the city gate, and on the empty earth dragon behind the two, there was a young woman at some point, and the reason why it was clear that such a beautiful woman who was as beautiful as a flower could not tell that the married woman was a woman, of course, was because they knew each other.

"How many times have I said it, don't come to such a dangerous place. Lei Tianhua sighed softly, but it was more of a helpless wry smile that accepted the reality.

"I'm not a nymphomaniac who just wants my husband to be a big guy and doesn't do anything myself. Gao Yingtai said.

"Alas...... Lang Qing. ”

"In. Someone replied with a smile.

"Leave her alone, I mean you don't have to go out of your way to protect her. ”

"I don't need protection. Gao Yingtai was not convinced.

"Well, I understand. Lang Qing looked at his boss and nodded.

Yes, there is no need for him to protect, because Lei Tianhua will do it himself, and he will work hard to do a good job of the task and protect his family.

And what about himself?

Glancing at Kaifeng from afar, Lang Qing secretly swore in his heart.

"I will definitely not let the ancient Mongolian people reach Kaifeng. ”
