"The powerful relationship between this is not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences, let's have a good chat today?"

"I'm a big idler, the elders care so much, if I'm still not sensible, then I don't know what to do, or change places, I'm a little panicked by your mansion."

Fan Zhongyan smiled and said, "You! It's still the same as it was at the beginning, it hasn't changed at all, let's go, find a quiet place, I'll be lazy for a day. ”

Walking in the unknown alleyway, Fan Zhongyan asked, "Jingzhao Mansion has finally regained some popularity in the past two years, and there were so many people when I came here ten years ago. ”

Lu Zifei flattered in time, "It's all your credit!" The common people just want to mix a bite of food, they don't ask for much, I still say the same thing, if you can eat a full stomach, no one will come out to rebel. ”

Walking behind him and looking at Lao Fan's back, Lu Zifei instantly felt that this saint was old, and his back was stiff when he walked.

"Sit, this is a place where I often come after I go down, and there is nothing special, there is only one benefit, that is, it is clean, no one disturbs, and the couple has nothing to do when they open a small shop."

Lu Zifei still wants to listen to Fan Zhongyan's opinion on the court situation, Wen Yanbo's impact on himself after he comes to power is inevitably great, and it is possible to go back soon if he changes to others, Wen Yanbo is in the prime of life, and he is on the side of the couch, how can he allow others to snore.

"You still tell me what will happen to Han Qi and Wen Yanbo after they enter the photo!"

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, don't worry, I told you, this matter needs to be analyzed slowly from beginning to end, and this starts with Hebei Road and Hedong Road."

Lu Zifei said: "The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes!" Why do you have a connection with the north again, you won't be here to Kuang me! ”

Fan Zhongyan put the wine glass on the table, "Don't you know that it's rude to interrupt others?" And do you want to hear it or not, if you don't want to hear this glass of wine, I'll practice it for you. ”

"Don't! You said, I promise not to interject and be a good and obedient baby. ”

Fan Zhongyan said again: "Since the first time when the Liao people went south, there was no war on the three roads of Hebei and Hedong, even if the war in the northwest was urgent in the early years of Qingli, the army of the three roads was not used, and it was not a coincidence, and the Liao people also moved, causing the court to lose the best opportunity." ”

Lu Zifei really became more and more confused the more he listened, this is all said and that! I don't understand how to feel at all, the war in the northwest, of course the army in the north can't move, the biggest threat to the Great Song Dynasty still comes from the Liao State, the north is fine, there will always be a turnaround in the northwest, once the north loses control, then the Great Song Dynasty will be completely chaotic.

"It's normal not to understand, I suspect that the Liao people's intention was the means of the Hebei Army, of course, this is just my suspicion, there is no real evidence, but from all indications, nine times out of ten I guessed so."

Lu Zifei stood up upright from the maza, his eyes widened, "Impossible, if you say that raising Kou to protect themselves, I can still believe it, this is their consistent style, it is not uncommon, but if they collude with the Liao, they don't have the courage to do it!" ”

"Did I say they colluded with the Liao? What a fuss, a little thing can make you lose your proportion? When will it be time to calm down?

”

Lu Zifei was still in disbelief, sitting on the pony and suddenly became distracted, how could the Hebei Army and the Hedong Army have such courage, aren't they afraid of being discovered by the imperial court and punishing the Nine Clans? The punishment is not a sergeant, and the sergeant is not very much to do with the general.

"I still can't believe what you said from the bottom of my heart, they are all Song people, their ancestors have given their lives to resist the Liao people, and the blood of their people in that land is the most, how dare they do this."

Fan Zhongyan smiled, "You are still simple, the experience of several years is still too smooth, I didn't let you realize the cruelty of politics, did the Hebei Army do that to rebel?" No, they are also trying to preserve their strength. ”

"What does that have to do with what you're talking about now?"

"The relationship is big, the forbidden army, it should be correct to say that it should be the Sanya is the foothold of the Great Song army, Taizu and Taizong's two northern expeditions have already exhausted this foundation, and the current forbidden army exists in name only, my reform has not succeeded, but your disguised approach has succeeded, in fact, what the emperor found is more terrible than imagined, do you understand?"

The erosion of the forbidden army is not a matter of one or two days, this is also the result of the deliberate indulgence of the court and the emperor, and the army of six or seven hundred thousand is placed in the capital of Nuoda, who will rest assured? Not to mention the strong combat effectiveness, even if there is a little combat effectiveness, the emperor is afraid that he will not be able to sleep at night.

Lu Zifei felt as if he had grasped a little something, but he felt that there was nothing, "The forbidden army survives in another way, from the military system to the control of the political hall, this is a good thing!" ”

Fan Zhongyan said: "It's a good thing, at least the matter of sitting on empty salaries will be greatly eliminated, some people are unwilling to stay in the public security bureau and resign, that's their own business, and it has nothing to do with the court if you make trouble again, but these are not fundamental problems." ”

"What's the underlying problem?"

"Fighting with Literature"

Damn! Speaking of this, Lu Zifei had a headache, and Zhao Kuangyin didn't know what to think, in order to prevent the situation of separating the feudal towns after the middle of the Tang Dynasty, he set this fucking rule, which really hurt future generations.

"Isn't the rest of the forbidden army of Sanya still in the hands of literati? Is the emperor worried or the court worried? ”

Fan Zhongyan squinted his eyes and said: "Those people in the court are fighting for power and profit, I'm afraid they still haven't found this problem, I think it should be the emperor, it's right that the forbidden army of Sanya is controlled by literati, but have you thought about it, how much combat power does Sanya's forbidden army still have, and where are the fighting armies of the imperial court?" ”

Lu Zifei said: "Isn't there more than 20,000 Northwest Army left in the capital? "What kind of usage these Northwest Army is, the imperial court has not defined it, and Lu Zifei doesn't know what Zhao Zhen has in his heart.

"It's not enough, it's far from enough, Hebei and Hedong are now tailing, and the northwest is also effectively imitating it, and the emperor has begun to prepare for differentiation."

This is a truly earth-shattering event, and it is also a matter that affects the fortunes of the country, "How can this be, how can the emperor have such worries, it is completely unreasonable." ”

"It doesn't make sense, if I continue, you will understand, the DPRK is empty, is there any army that can fight besides the Northwest Army? No, there was an accident at the border, and the Hebei army went all the way south, even easier than the Liao people attacked, so you sat down

On the Jinluan Palace, can you rest assured? ”

Lu Zifei muttered to himself: "There is such a possibility, but this is your own speculation, not true." ”

"Fortunately, it's a guess, it's true, you and I can still sit here today and communicate like Mount Tai, and make your spring and autumn dreams!"

Lu Zifei thought about it, thought of it. "You just mentioned in the yamen that I went to quell the rebellion of Nong Zhigao, is this the emperor's intention?"

Fan Zhongyan said on the armrest: "It's finally a little smarter, Nong Zhigao, hehe, what if you really give him Guangzhou, is there a lack of one or two ports in the Great Song Dynasty?" Joke, if you don't go, Di Qing can't beat a barbarian, do you believe this? ”

Oh, yes! What kind of command talent does he have, that is, in the process of pacification, Di Qing is also in command, and he is just assisting from the side, so his only role is to be able to subdue Di Qing anytime and anywhere, and control the unruly Northwest Army.

Fan Zhong didn't give Lu Zifei too much time to think about it, and continued: "The Northwest Army went to the south, the first is that the emperor wants to see if the army that has been built at great cost has combat effectiveness, and the second is that the emperor doesn't want the Northwest Army to stay in the northwest. ”

"Then what if Li Yuanhao marches south? Without the Northwest Army, what kind of resistance, or to give up the Shaanxi Fourth Road to Li Yuanhao, I am afraid that the people of the entire Great Song Dynasty will not agree! ”

"It's quite smart, I finally asked the point, Li Yuanhao went south, maybe the emperor is looking forward to the most! Then he can justifiably transfer the Hedong Army and the Hebei Army to Shaanxi, things sound a little tortuous, but after saying that, you feel that it is not so complicated. ”

Lu Zifei summed it up, first, Bianjing was empty, the emperor had no bottom in his heart, and he needed an army with combat effectiveness to supplement the forbidden army, but the Northwest Army became the best choice, because this army was marked by Lu Zifei, and Lu Zifei happened to be a literati.

The second is that the military power of the Hebei Army fell into the hands of Jiangmen, and it appeared out of control, which made Zhao Zhen wary, and the military force could not be changed at any time and place, and the Hebei Army and the Hedong Army must be dismantled, and the opportunity for dismantling is likely to be in the northwest.

The third is to prevent the slightest progress, and the northwest also presents such a situation, so Fan Zhongyan came, Fan Zhongyan came with good and bad, fortunately, Fan Zhongyan is also a scholar class, and the bad thing is that Fan Zhongyan once ruled the northwest, and what mentality Fan Zhongyan has when he comes for the second time, Zhao Zhen does not dare to confirm it 100%.

"Han Qi is the key point in this incident, using him to suppress Di Qing in the court, and even using invisible means, it's just that the kid is thinking, did Han Qi think about the problem you mentioned at this time."

Fan Zhongyan said: "At this time, Han Zhigui should have reacted, don't look at the current situation in the DPRK, in fact, the emperor's concern is still on the border army, so I don't know how to evaluate your visit to Xingqing Mansion this time." ”

Lu Zifei said: "The significance of differentiation is to make the soldiers not recognize the generals, the generals will not know the soldiers, it is not necessary to make the army have no combat effectiveness, the border army, the border army, if it is the same as the forbidden army, then this big Song Dynasty, the kid said a big rebellion, it should be over." ”

"This is just my personal thoughts, what does the emperor think, you and I don't know, I tell you this today, just to let you remember that as long as it is not on the battlefield in the future, military power should not be easily contaminated, that thing is a talisman."
