Good wine and good food, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu chatted happily, and Sun Yue honestly served on the side with a wine jug like a waiter, although he didn't dare to interject, but it was also beneficial for him to listen to such a high-level dialogue.

After chatting for a while about the big and small things that happened in the court in the past two days, Zhao Kuangyin finally got to the point: "Now, I have recovered most of the military power of the forbidden army, although the military reform has not yet been completed, but it can be regarded as the initial results, but since the death of the Tang Dynasty, the world has collapsed, and there are more than 40 people who have called the emperor and the king in the past few decades. ”

Zhao Pu heard this: "Back to the official family, the minister thought that the reason why the world was stable before the Tang Dynasty was because the Tang Dynasty established the country with a strong army in Guanzhong, and the internal weight was light on the outside, and after the Tang Dynasty, the town was divided because the outside was heavy and the inside was light. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Pu explained his famous method of strengthening and weakening branches one by one, and Zhao Kuangyin nodded while listening, which was obviously very much in line with his heart.

There was an uproar, Sun Yue coldly heard the four-character mantra, accidentally shook his hand, and spilled the wine outside.

"The official family atonements, the master atonements."

Saying that, Sun Yue hurriedly wiped off the wine spilled on the table with his sleeve, but there was already a storm in his heart.

Strong and weak branches, this is the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty in 270 years, I didn't expect that I had the honor to listen, I really couldn't help the excitement in my heart, and my hands trembled.

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at him with slanted eyes, and suddenly said, "Boy, what do you think?" ”

Sun Yue hurriedly said: "This is a major matter of the country, how can there be a subordinate official to speak, the subordinate official is only shallow in learning, and his speech is nonsense, it is really not worth listening to the official family and the master." ”

Zhao Pu said: "Say it or not, listen to us, the so-called stones of other mountains can attack jade, you kid has always been smart, if you really think about it, it may not be useless words, although it is said to listen to it, what, do you think the master will hate you for stealing my limelight?" ”

"I don't dare."

Zhao Kuangyin thought for a while and said: "If you have an understanding, although it is true, what Zhao Pu said just now is very much in line with my heart, do you have different opinions?" ”

"This ......" Sun Yue glanced at Zhao Pu and then at Zhao Kuangyin, he knew very well that this was definitely not an occasion for him to speak.

But he also knows how important this dialogue is, and if his words can really play a small role, it will not even affect the contemporary era, but the 300-year national fortune of the Great Song Dynasty and even the entire thousand-year history of Chinese civilization.

It is better to change from the root than a hundred years later, Fan Zhongyan and Wang Anshi, and they will change and save trouble.

So endure it, endure it, finally, Sun Yue still couldn't help it, and bowed down and said: "The official family atonements, the master atonements, what the master said just now, the minister definitely agrees, but the minister has some additional words, which is really not unpleasant." ”

"Oh? What are the additional words to hear? ”

"The minister thinks that if according to what the master said, my Great Song Dynasty can indeed be stable and long, at least within a hundred years, I can avoid internal rebellions, and I don't need to worry about foreign attacks, if the official family does this, it will ensure that the country will be safe for a hundred years, and end the chaos in the world since the end of the Tang Dynasty."

Zhao Pu stroked his beard and smiled: "Directly say your opinion, I still use you to flatter?" Is there a but? ”

Sun Yue smiled, and had to say, "Yes, indeed." ”

Zhao Kuangyin said with interest: "Let's hear it." ”

"Xiao Chen thinks that if such a law is practiced, strong cadres and weak branches, internal and external systems, stability is stable, and there will indeed be no problems in a hundred years, but a hundred years later, once the forbidden army is deserted, no practice of war for a long time, and there is no strong domain screen protection, once the foreign enemy comes, it can only continue to expand the number of forbidden troops to deal with it, and over the years, it will become a dilemma of redundant soldiers. But after a hundred years, it will become a redundant bureaucracy, if the simple strong trunk and weak branches, once the nutrition of the main trunk of the tree can not keep up, it is the situation that the tree is falling and scattered, so the lower official dares to ask the official family, whether the official family wants to become a hundred years of kingship, or want to create peace for all generations. ”

Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes for a while, if these words came out of the mouth of the old minister, they would not take it seriously if they smiled, but from the mouth of such a child, it would be a great three words.

This requires not only intelligence, but also vision, a person can see the direction of the next three years is already a talent, can see ten years is the pillar of the country, can see thirty years can be called the country's peerless, this little doll is a hundred years of a mouth, how not to surprise them?

Of course, he and Zhao Pu have been thinking about this kind of problem for two years, and there are many things, can't they really see the problem? Of course not, they just selectively ignored it.

Choosing to cut the military power, restrain the Qian Valley, and collect its elite soldiers, it will fundamentally suppress the spirit of the country and the nation, and finally get worse and worse until the essence dies, just like Sun Yue said, when this powerful trunk exhausts all the nutrients in the land, no matter who can't use three axes or two axes, this big tree will collapse, but what if you choose to be strong?

If you use the courtiers and vassal kings with confidence to make the country stronger and bigger, won't you repeat the mistakes of the Jin and Tang dynasties? Isn't the death of the Jin and Tang dynasties ugly, and the people are not in distress?

The world has attained the law of both, all of this in the eyes of the two of them, is just a choice, human beings have developed to the present, no matter how much people sing praises and praise, they have to admit that there is no immortal dynasty in the world, since sooner or later it will be a death, why not choose a family peace, no civil strife to die?

What's more critical is that in the past few decades of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the change of dynasties is really too scary, to be honest, Zhao Kuangyin has no confidence in the twenty years behind him, how can he talk about a hundred years?

"It's not easy to see so far, what you said makes sense, but compared to a hundred years later, I value the peace and stability of the past ten or twenty years more, or rather, what do you have that can take care of the present and take into account the two ways of a hundred years?"

When he said this, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu both laughed, in the two of them thought, this Sun Yue is a scholar with a cannon, although this is already very remarkable, but for the country, what is really important is not the eye to find the problem, but the brain to solve the problem, Zhao Pu's method can solve the disease of the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years, and the root cause of the replacement of the five dynasties and ten dynasties will be a medicine to go to eight or nine, can you still have a prescription for the disease of the Great Song Dynasty for a thousand years?

saw Sun Yue say quite firmly: "The minister thinks that there is." ”
