Chapter 231: Self-Invited Place
【Chinese Network】, to provide you with wonderful reading.
When Renzong made a decision, he had already decided the fate of the Fa Reform Sect, although all the means had not really been made, first of all, Ouyang Xiu and Han Qi were separated, even if there was no Baozhou mutiny, some other changes would let them go.
This is just the beginning, next, Teng Zijing, Fu Bi, these backbone of the new law, the personnel who will be of great benefit to the future, will be delegated one by one, this point, Renzong is stronger than other emperors, although he denied the new law, but did not deny these people, except for Fan Zhongyan did not return to the center, the others went back one after another.
Of course, there is a premise that Fan Zhongyan cannot be in power, in fact, from the fourth year of Qingli to the fourth year of Huangyou, for a full eight years, Fan Zhongyan has been constantly degrading and migrating, and even with all the young officials, they have no way to return.
It wasn't until Fan Zhong drowned that Renzong made the best use of his people, and then he transferred people back one after another.
It can be said that after that, the famous Han Qi and Fu Bi relied on this decentralization to slowly understand the actual situation in the local area, and slowly grasped the essence of the reform.
Now Han Qi is still full of the passion of a young official, and his desire to make changes to the political arena of the Northern Song Dynasty is also the root cause of his depression.
In fact, Han Qi had already accepted his fate, but it was proposed by Zhao Xin, which was regarded as having a step, but Zhao Xin did not give the step down very orthodoxly, but said in the clouds: "Take a step back and open the sky, since you can't do anything, then why not do something practical!" ”
Han Qi was stunned for a moment, thought hard, and then asked in surprise, "You mean, I invited myself to the place?" ”
With a sigh, he added, "Where can I go!" ”
The spirit seems to have been taken away, that is all the essence of the spirit, and the change can be said to be the ladder of his steady progress, and it is also a kind of faith, a kind of pride that follows the noble character of Fan Zhongyan to change the shortcomings of the Northern Song Dynasty.
The reason why Fan Zhongyan's new law has so many followers is that personal ethics is only one aspect, and the other aspect is that the Northern Song Dynasty is already sick.
Not only the financial situation, but also the military system, the honorable system and many other aspects, there are problems, Fan Zhongyan based on 28 years of experience in politics, put forward a perfect solution, this moved Renzong, and therefore the new law began with the support of Renzong.
Han Qi was also at this time, rising to the top, transferred to the center, originally thought that he would usher in a stage of development, in their opinion, if they followed Fan Zhongyan's method, the entire Northern Song Dynasty would be completely different.
The ideal is very happy, the reality is very backbone, even with the support of the emperor, when it was implemented, it also encountered a lot of resistance, and now, when it comes to the most critical imperial examination and the honorable system, there is simply a big problem.
received a huge backlash, and the conservatives began to shoot frantically, and Zhang Dexiang and others, who used to seem to be leaning on their side, also had a somewhat ambiguous attitude, and did not do practical things at all, but added a lot of constraints to them.
If it was just like this, there were some difficulties, and it was not impossible to overcome, they just needed to do more detailed work and strive to convince the center with the actual situation, but Han Qi sensitively felt that even Renzong's mentality had changed.
Since the ideal cannot be accomplished, then it is a derogation, and there is no chance of making a comeback, so isn't it the same everywhere you go?
Seeing that Han Qi looked like he had been pulled off his backbone and couldn't keep his spirits at all, Zhao Xin couldn't help but laugh, if Han Qi in 20 years later recalled such a paragraph, what would it be.
He also understands a little, even if Han Qi is a name left in history, even if he is a real man in the roll call outside the Donghua Gate, which completely detonated the civil and military disputes, and in essence, caused the tragedy of Di Qing later, but at this moment, he is still a stunned young man in the officialdom, and he has not yet grown into Han Qi, who is a high-ranking and powerful veteran of the Three Dynasties.
"That's right, Han Xiang, do you remember the time you failed? Do you want to redeem it! ”
Han Qi was stunned for a moment, glanced at Zhao Xin deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Good Shuichuan!" ”
This is the eternal pass in Han Qi's heart, in that station, the elite Great Song Forbidden Army lost more than 10,000 people, not many people, but extremely elite.
If it is just a loss of personnel, it is nothing for the Great Song Dynasty, which has a forbidden army of 800,000, as long as it takes a year or two, it can be reversed and re-accumulate so many people, but after this station, the battlefield has completely entered the weakness, itself, between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, there is a mutual competition, but after this battle, the Northern Song Dynasty no longer has a way to compete with the Western Xia, from strategic offensive to strategic defense.
If the longbow and the fortress were not provided, Han Qi might not go to Longxi at all, because he couldn't see hope, with the army of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was no way to defeat the Western Xia for the time being, at most he would maintain the balance of power, that was not his choice, but the longbow was different from the fortress.
In this battle of Baozhou, Han Qi almost watched the longbow and the fortress shine with his own eyes, especially the longbow, which was simply terrible for the lethality of unprotected or lightly armored troops.
What is the place of Western Xia, even if there are iron harriers, but iron harriers are the most elite troops in Western Xia, and the overall number is not much, if you use a fortress and a longbow to consume, and consume part of the iron harriers in Western Xia, or most of them, Western Xia will be finished.
Before, I could only spend a lot of money and defend passively, but now defense is offense, and it seems that there is a lot to be done.
But Han Qi was still hesitating, maybe before, he had some impulsive thoughts, and on the premise of letting go of everything and realizing that the new law would not be able to recover again, he began to think about personal problems.
He is still young, in his 30s, he has become a deputy to the Privy Council, and has almost climbed to the highest position in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, but the new law has been hit, and he will not only not progress, but will retreat.
The question of whether to go to a stable and less visible place and stay a few more years and wait for a turnaround to come, or to make a big splash and choose a place where you can make a big difference.
Han Qi knew very well that no matter which one he chose, he had to make a choice, and when he lost the opportunity to let Renzong completely delegate him, he had no choice.
Seeing that Han Qi was still a little hesitant, Zhao Xin added a little more force and said: "Han Xiang, now your identity is different, if you don't invite yourself, it is unlikely that you will go to Longxi, where is the battlefield, not the military and political officials should go, but the Great Song Dynasty really needs a commander of the overall situation, in this way, it can give me a lot of help." ”,
"Helping you?" Han Qi's expression was slightly strange,
In Han Qi's opinion, is Zhao Xin a little too much, he can be regarded as the emperor of the court, even if Zhao Xin is the second prince, he will take the initiative to distance himself from him, not to mention that it is not now, he always feels that Zhao Xin retreated a little too hastily this time, is it difficult, this is a method of retreating, and he is the first minister with a high rank and a higher status who has been co-opted?
This is not a good thing, as an orthodox minister, Han Qi upholds the correctness of the law and procedures, in this case, it is unlikely that he will support Zhao Xin with a clear banner, even if Zhao Xin has helped him a lot, thanks are thanks, but it is impossible to involve this matter that may affect his life.
Seeing Han Qi's expression, Zhao Xin knew that he wanted to be crooked, Zhao Xin valued Han Qi very much, but he hadn't thought about it, if he really took such a step to draw Han Qi into his camp, not to mention those who are now selected as candidates for the prince, and even Renzong, who is on the throne, will have to think about it.
Although you are a son, Renzong is also willing to support Zhao Xin and regain the position that belongs to him, but it does not mean that he can arbitrarily win over Zaifu, and even the previous king of Runan County did not dare to do so.
The mood of the emperor is the most elusive, why in history, the prince is easy to be charged, not a weapon is not good, it is easy to be attacked, after grasping the handle, he is entangled in it, and it is not good to be too successful, you are a prince who is wise and martial, it seems that he can do anything, and his prestige in the court is also extremely high, where do you want to put the emperor.
Every abdication of Emperor Taishang represents a fierce political conflict, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan and Taizong Li Shimin, that is the change of Xuanwumen, under the fierce conflict, Li Yuan abdicated, and the same is true for others.
After knowing that Han Qi wanted to be crooked, Zhao Xin immediately said: "Han Xiang, where do you want to go, I am sealed on an island, only the size of a county, how can I support you, I am talking about Western Xia, where will there be a chance." ”
Western Xia? Han Qi was stunned for a moment, he didn't know, even Baozhou, where he was located, was far enough away from Western Xia, and the place where Zhao Xin was located was more than a thousand kilometers away from here, where was there anything that could be done, could it be that there was really a prophet in the world.
"Does Han Xiang still remember that Fu Bichu is a Liao country?"
Of course, Han Qi remembered that if he had been promoted from the battlefield of Western Xia to the position of deputy envoy of the Privy Council, Fu Bi was actually much earlier than him, and after returning from the Liao State, he was promoted, Fu Bi resigned, and later became a senior minister, and later reappointed in July, he still resigned, and only took office a month later.
It can be said that this time the envoy avoided the Northern Song Dynasty from being attacked by the Liao State and the Western Xia, this credit is not ordinary, it was really when the Western Xia harassed the Northern Song Dynasty, if the Liao State attacked the Northern Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty was also quite troublesome.
Zhao Xin said it so clearly, and he also specially put forward the matter of Fu Bi's envoy to the Liao State, which made Han Qi have another idea, and asked a little tentatively: "You mean to say, the Liao State and the Western Xia!" ”
"That's right, Han Xiang is really smart, when there is no problem between us and Liao, there will be a problem between Liaoguo and Western Xia." Zhao Xin clapped his hands laughingly and said. For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
