Pingzhang militarism dominates the dynasty

Violating the overall situation and downgrading three levels

Shi Miyuan said so much in one breath, looking at Han and Liu. Han Yanxuan said:

Uncle Tong, don't worry, drink saliva and moisten your throat.

Liu Lan looked at Han Yanxuan, Han signaled, and then spoke: The words of the waiter come from the bottom of his heart, and the old prime minister is loyal to the country, which is admired by my generation. It is true that we should not be in a hurry, and we should not leave anything to chance. Indeed, after decades of fighting, the people can live in peace and the economy can prosper, but our country respects the Golden Emperor as an uncle, and pays tribute every year with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, hundreds of thousands of pieces of cloth, and a small envoy can command in the main hall of our court, where is the dignity of the country? Does the nation still have integrity?? Are there any bloody ??? the people It's like two families, the one who is bullied, has it been swallowing its anger? Or is it better to have the courage to fight?

Han Yanxuan knocked on the table, Guangyu said well, people must have ambition to live, and they would rather die standing than live on their knees.

Also, the country has not improved the strength of the army for so many years, if everyone is content with pleasure and does not want to fight, in another forty years, it may still be the case, then when can we take back the homeland, let alone take risks, there are risks in doing anything, no one can guarantee that nothing goes wrong, the soldiers have not moved, the food has not been done, just consider whether it will fail, afraid of words, then what to fight? Forget it directly as a grandson. As the old saying goes: When two armies meet, the brave wins, and only if they are not afraid of defeat can they win the battle! Squire, do you think I'm right?

The Privy was right. Shi Miyuan had to admit it.

At that time, Ling Zunshi Wangye's analysis of the situation between the dynasty and Jinbang was very appropriate, but it was also too conservative. For example, for the sake of safety, Wu Lan was ordered to retreat, resulting in the loss of the thirteen states, which is not a small lesson.

Shi Miyuan found that Liu Shumi, who met today, was not a mortal, and he carried his old father out, but he picked the old father's Maicheng to say.

King Jinhailing invaded the south after Yan Liang, and Wu Lan sent troops from Sichuan to recover Qinfeng, Xihe, and Yongxing in one fell swoop. Fighting alone in Shaanxi, although the battle was successful, the counterattack of the Jin soldiers became heavier and heavier. In the first year of Longxing, Shi Hao was the prime minister, thinking that Shaanxi could not be defended, and persuaded Xiaozong to issue an edict and ordered Wu Gong to give up the important town of Deshun Army in Shaanxi. At that time, Yu Yunwen, who served as the envoy of Sichuan and Shaanxi, strongly opposed it and told Xiaozong in person about the benefits. It is said that Shi Hao has always advocated abandoning the land and seeking peace, and when he is promoted to the right prime minister, he will immediately implement his main peace policy. In the end, Emperor Xiaozong listened to Shi Hao's advice, and Shi Hao personally drafted an edict ordering Wu Lan to retreat. In the proposed edict, it was written: "Discarding things that do not have much meaning, such as chicken ribs, can eliminate the greed of the Jin people." ”

Afterwards, Yu Yunwen learned about it and felt sorry for it, and immediately said: "Now there are eight reasons why we can continue to fight against Jin." When Xiaozong asked about the abandonment of land, Yu Yunwen drew on the ground with the board he held during the court meeting, and vigorously stated the benefits and disadvantages of losing the land. Xiaozong regretted hearing it and said, "Shi Hao misunderstood me!" So, he issued an edict ordering Wu Lan to act cheaply, and let Wu Lan decide whether to advance or stop by himself.

Besides, when Wu Lan received the edict to withdraw the army, he felt very sorry, but he did not dare to disobey, and the generals around him advised, "The generals are outside, and the king's orders are not subject to it." As long as our army holds on and waits for the enemy's momentum to pass, it can occupy this place, so why retreat? Wu replied, "How can I not know this? It's just that Your Majesty has just ascended the throne to govern affairs, and I have a heavy army outside, and the edict has been issued, how dare I disobey it! ”

Sure enough, the Wu army was forced to withdraw, the Jin soldiers took the opportunity to pursue, the sergeants who lost the cover of the city were defeated and fled, more than 30,000 soldiers, dozens of casualties, and the thirteen states newly recovered by Qinfeng, Xihe, and Yongxing were occupied by the Jin people again.

At this time, the emperor's second edict allowing him to act cheaply arrived, but the defeat was decided, and Wu Lan was remorseful and resigned.

Seeing that Shi Miyuan didn't speak for a long time, Han Yanxuan comforted:

Uncle Tong, I know that you are out of public intentions, kindly remind me that Guangyu has no other meaning, the Northern Expedition is to be done, to choose a good general, to train the soldiers and horses, ready to fight again, you can rest assured.

Chen Zhishan, the prime minister of Zuo, saw that Han Taishi was determined to go on a northern expedition to establish Qixun and consolidate his position. But this is a huge and complex project, the mobilization of generals, the allocation of soldiers and horses, etc., all need to give orders, if the name is not right, the words are not good, the Jiedu envoy, the opening of the palace with the three divisions, the Taishi, etc. are only official names and official positions, and the king of Pingyuan County is only a title, so far he has no actual send, and the prime minister is unwilling to do it, and the prime minister is only in charge of government affairs, military, finance, Taiwan, etc., it is difficult to shout to the end, can you get a position second only to the emperor.

Just thinking about it, Deng Youlong, the palace attendant, came to visit, and also talked about this matter, and he suggested sending a military affairs named Pingzhang. The so-called Pingzhang military and state affairs are to handle all the state's government affairs. Since the beginning of this dynasty, only four veteran ministers have served as important ministers. Zhezong Dynasty Lu Gong, once served as the same Pingzhang military and state affairs, this same word, is the same, almost; Shenzong Dynasty Wen Yanbo, once served as an important military minister in Pingzhang, which emphasized the words, indicating that it did not care about ordinary things. If you omit the same word, you will have a particularly respectful status, and if you omit the heavy word, you will be wider.

Chen Zhishan clapped his hands and said, good, really good, this Pingzhang military and state affairs is very suitable for Shi Wang. I first probed his tone, and if I had no opinion, I played the game.

Deng Youlong agreed, and I will second.

When Han Yanxuan heard Chen Zhishan say, his heart was as sweet as drinking honey, but he said in his mouth: This is not good, will anyone gossip.

No one will gossip, everyone is looking forward to it.

Emperor Zhao Kuo saw Prime Minister Zuo's recital, and the Chinese scholar on the side explained it to him, and then saw Deng Youlong's recital. I understand: This is to give the Taishi a title to manage the government, very good, with him in charge, I will be relaxed.

Write and comment: Yes, the Ministry of Chinese Calligraphy and Rites will discuss.

Han Yanxuan learned that he was busy asking for resignation, but the emperor did not allow it, and he resigned again, but the emperor still did not allow it, and persuaded him that the master should not resign again, and should take on this important responsibility for the country and the people.

The gesture is enough, so I express my gratitude.

After the approval of the Ministry of Rites, the emperor issued an edict: Han Yanxuan specially awarded Pingzhang military and state affairs, is a product, only three days to go to the court, when the court, ranked before the left prime minister, after the dispersal of the government in the government capital.

The officials who Han Yanxuan pulled up with one hand all had their eyebrows fluttering, as if they had picked up a dog's head gold. Considering that Han Pingzhang does not go to court on weekdays, for the convenience of work, Chen Zhishan took the lead in sending the big seal of Zhongshu Province to Han Yanxuan's mansion. Then the heads of Shangshu Province, Secretary Province, Privy Council and other heads of state sent the Great Seal. Master Pingzhang can do whatever he wants, and he can use it whenever he needs it.

The right prime minister, Ding Qiaoan, went to the Han Mansion to discuss affairs, and Han Yanxuan asked him if he had any good suggestions for the Northern Expedition, he first shirked it, and then asked again and again, and said: Lord Pingzhang, I don't approve of the Northern Expedition, as far as the current situation is concerned, the Northern Expedition is purely a risky move, and I hope we must be cautious.

Han Yan is on fire, so far, as the prime minister, he still talks like this, what risks do I take, what do I do not take risks, am I not careful? Do you have any tips for not taking risks? Treacherous, cowardly, what can be done!

Ding Qiaoan walked on the front foot, and Han Yanxuan entered the palace to meet the emperor on the back foot, and the next day, the holy decree was issued:

dismissed Ding Qiao'an as the right prime minister and served as the governor of Xinzhou. The grade of positive three products has been reduced to positive six products.
