On the same day, Zhao Zhen ordered the construction of the northern capital, but he didn't expect that because there was a sentence in the edict "For the livelihood of the world, I will guard the country by the son of heaven", the edict was refuted.

The reason for the refutation is very funny, the imperial historians have read dozens of chapters a day and say that "the son of a daughter can't sit down", accusing the emperor of relying too close to the Liao State to be a brave man, and making fun of the country's social society. Li Buren's malicious conjecture was only afraid that these civil officials were afraid that they would follow the emperor closer to the Liao State and worry about their own safety, so they didn't even allow the emperor to pretend to be forced. The civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty are really more cowardly than the emperor, no wonder the Great Song Dynasty is soft, and it will be changed in the future.

The emperor humbly accepted the advice, and when he saw that the edict caused such a big reaction, he removed the sentence "the Son of Heaven guards the country", but there were still people who kept asking for the punishment of those who suggested to the emperor to do so, and there were also those who simply named and wanted to exile Li Buqi. Li Buqi only thought it was funny, but from the perspective of civil officials, this matter was a very serious issue of civil and military status.

Several ministers and privy envoys, as well as a few lower-level officials, knew that the Liao people were indeed bluffing, and the emperor said at this time that "the Son of Heaven guards the country" is just pretending to be forced. However, Li Buqi asked the emperor to block the news, so most of the officials did not know about it, and really thought that the emperor was now obsessed with martial affairs and wanted to go to the front.

Literati love associations! In their opinion, if the emperor really had the idea of the Son of Heaven guarding the country in his heart, it would be very disadvantageous to the overwhelming position of civil officials in the court in the future.

Originally, the civil officials thought that there was nothing they didn't understand when they were full of poetry and books, and fighting a war should be a piece of cake, but the reality immediately taught them to be human beings, and looking at a few handsome ministers in Shaanxi made people feel cold. Xia Zhu didn't talk about him, except for the emperor, everyone knew that he was a bastard; But Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Pang Ji and others are all known as known soldiers, and they can't make contributions together, but Han Qi made a mess of the defeat of Hao Shuichuan. These few people are not successful, who among the Jinshi who have been tested on the right way to dare to say that they can lead the army to fight with the Liao people?

If the emperor really went to the Daimyo, he had to make sure that the war against Liao was foolproof, and that civil official dared to take this job? But the civil officials didn't dare to take it, so they could only use military generals. Then the status of the warrior will inevitably be promoted, which is the most worrying.

In this regard, the current emperor has a criminal record. In the first year of Jing You, Zhao Zhen appointed Wang Deyong, who was born in Jiangmen, as the Privy Council, breaking the rule that the Privy Council had always been controlled by civil officials since the beginning of the Song Dynasty. This was unbearable for civil officials, so they immediately drove Wang Deyong out of the capital.

Back then, they ousted Wang Deyong from power, but it took a lot of brains. Wang Deyong's father, Wang Chaoshen, is also an old fritter in the court, Wang De can use his own true inheritance to act cautiously, and there is no handle to grasp at all. In the end, the civil officials actually said that Wang Deyong's appearance was strange, not the appearance of a minister, the forty-fifth grandson of Confucius, the imperial historian Kong Daofu jumped out to demand the removal of Wang Deyong, and the ministers all followed to support, Zhao Zhen had no choice but to let Wang Deyong go out of Beijing.

If you dare to move the cheese of civil officials, you must pay a price, and if you don't kill chickens and monkeys, I am afraid that Li Deyong and Zhao Deyong will appear again in the future. Wang Deyong was not transferred to a local location yet, and the civil officials kept transferring him back and forth, sometimes two places a year, and they wanted to toss him to death. But the civil officials underestimated Wang Deyong's tenacity. Wang De used two generations to mix the court, he has seen a lot of this kind of thing, has a good mentality, and has a good body, so he survived.

Now that Wang Deyong is in Hebei Zhizhou, the emperor will definitely think of this former Privy Council when he really goes to Hebei.

Martial artists must not be given a chance to turn over! We literati can't fight, but martial artists can fight, so we must not fight, so no matter how capable the martial arts are, it will be useless. As a result, both officials vehemently opposed the establishment of a northern capital in Hebei. If it weren't for Lu Yijian's control of a group of officials to support the emperor, I was afraid that this matter would be yellow.

Several prime ministers also didn't want to be saddled with the infamy of land reparations, and unanimously supported the emperor in this matter - why don't you pretend to be forced if there is no danger?

The emperor has the support of the ministers, and the civil officials can't do anything to the emperor, but they can set an example for the warriors! If you want to find differences, there will be no shortage of opportunities. The civilian officials were pondering how to find fault with the warriors, and an incident on the border of Hebei happened to let them take advantage of it.

Just two days before the Liao envoys entered Beijing, an official document from Hebei was sent to the Privy Council, and soon the two Privy Council Vice-Chancellors on duty sent the official document to the desk of Mr. Ren Bu, who stayed in the Privy Council.

Mr. Ren opened it and took a look at it quickly, but a few days ago, there were Liao reconnaissance cavalry entering to watch, and a capital supervisor named Wu Ying in Baozhou led a cavalry to drive out the Liao people and chased them to the border to kill more than ten people and returned. The entry of small groups of Liao scouts and cavalry, or the cross-border robbery of small groups of Liao people, has never been broken, and it is not uncommon when the Liao army presses the border, so it is not a big deal.

Mr. Ren didn't understand for a while that the privy envoy was in Hebei, and he only needed to tell himself about such a trivial matter in Hebei and know it, why did the two of them solemnly bring the official document to themselves. He stroked his beard and said: "Oh, the number of decapitation levels is also a small victory, but it is not appropriate to chase to the border, what if crossing the border provokes the Liao people and causes a big war?" There is no reward or punishment for this matter. ”

Yu Chengzhi said: "What the deputy cardinal said is true. It's just that if it is usually disposed of like this, it is just that, but the lower officials feel that such a disposition at this time is debatable. ”

Ren Bu didn't speak, and motioned for him to go down, Yu Chengzhi said: "The first emperor ordered the thief to fight, and the thief didn't chase him, all these years. However, as soon as the official family said that the Son of Heaven wanted the Son of Heaven to guard the country, these warriors pursued the Liao people to the border, thinking that they saw that the Son of Heaven was interested in military affairs, so they were fortunate to enter, and they were warlike and greedy. In the long run, I am afraid that I will deliberately provoke a war for the sake of merit. The lower officials thought that this wind could not last long, and they should be severely reprimanded. The deputy cardinal should also warn the officials to take warning. ”

Ren Bu was a little embarrassed. From the perspective of civil officials, it is natural that there can be no factors that can cause war at all, but Ren Bu knows the inside story, and the Liao people are bluffing, and the emperor said that although he knows the details of the Liao people, he is never allowed to carry them, otherwise if the Liao people really do a fake show, there will be nowhere to cry. He had been in a border town and knew that the Liao people had spied on the serious consequences of the truth. If the capital prisoner is really punished, the Liao people will not dare to fight when they come to invade the territory in the future, so that the Liao people can see through the details of the Great Song Dynasty, then he, the privy deputy envoy, will have to eat and hang.

Moreover, the document said that this Wudu Jian only chased to the border, and did not say anything about crossing the border, so strictly speaking, it is not a violation. Therefore, Ren had no choice but to adopt delaying tactics: "It's just that a big war is imminent, and arbitrarily punishing those who have made meritorious contributions is easy to shake the morale of the army." A further letter could be sent asking whether the battle had crossed the line. If he crosses the line, he should be condemned. ”

Another letter said, "Deputy cardinal, this matter must not be delayed. I heard that those noble sons and daughters are shooting arrows on the school field these days, and they also said that if the Liao people want to fight, they will all join the army to fight. I'm afraid that the official family will coerce them. His intentions are sinister. ”

One of the strategies that Li Buqi gave to Zhao Zhen was to wait for the Liao envoys to make unreasonable demands and let the sons of the nobles stage a big drama of inviting war, so that the Liao envoys could see that the Great Song Dynasty was not afraid of war at all, and extinguished the arrogance of the Liao people. Ren Bu knew this strategy. As for the recent days, the sons and daughters of the nobles have suddenly become enthusiastic about practicing martial arts, perhaps in order to make the trick more realistic, after all, no one dares to say that there are no Liao spies in Tokyo.

But Zhao Zhen instructed that this matter should not be passed on, and Ren Bu had no choice but to say: "There are officials and ministers in this matter." Don't worry about that. ”

It's good to say that let the two Chengzhi step down, Ren Bu thought that this was the case, but in fact, the two Chengzhi were not convinced. Everyone knows that Ren Bu is a person who doesn't care about anything, and even Ren Bu's son said that the old man was useless, and the two thought that the old man had shrunk his head again. But for two young people who want to be ahead, this opportunity to become famous must not be missed.
