On the second day, there was no early dynasty, and not long after Xu Ping arrived at the Yamen, Shi Quanbin brought Zhao Zhen's edict. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

received the edict, but it was to let Xu Ping concentrate on the affairs of the three divisions, and leave the affairs of Xuanwei Army alone. There is no beginning or end, and there is no other explanation, which makes people a little confused.

Seeing that Xu Ping was full of doubts, Shi Quanbin whispered: "Advice, yesterday the official family saw the generals of the forbidden army in the Chongzheng Palace, and they complained that they were too favored to the Xuanwei army. He also said that the counsel was a civilian official and should not interfere in the affairs of the forbidden army. ”

Xu Ping said: "Just for these? Not really! ”

Shi Quanbin stepped forward and whispered: "Guo Chengyou, who is known as the 'martial official', mentioned to the official family that there were wingmen in the army before the Taizu Dynasty, and King Zhao Han was the secretary in charge of the army. In this dynasty of Zhou, everything goes well, it is the credit of the wing. ”

Xu Ping nodded, and then he understood, it turned out that he was worried that he would not be able to sit still on the throne. The emperor of the Zhao family, this suspicion is really in the late stage, and if you don't use a knife to force them, they will not be cured. The current military system of the forbidden army is definitely not intentionally created by Song Taizu, in fact, his ideal situation is that military generals read poetry and books, and Wenchen will lead troops to fight. It is precisely because of the requirement that his subordinates can be literate and martial, and there will be a palace test to let Jinshi wrestle and compete for the champion, and later generations will look ridiculous, in fact, Song Taizu was quite serious at that time.

After thinking about it, Xu Ping took a pen and paper, wrote a note of thanksgiving, and asked Shi Quanbin to take it back. There are only five words in the cantata: "The minister obeys the holy decree." Shi Quanbin watched from the side, and he didn't know what Xu Ping meant for a while.

Xu Ping didn't explain, just let Shi Quanbin take it away, and when the emperor asked, he just told the truth.

Zhao Zhen couldn't have been more simple when he saw this simple echo, and he was also puzzled. Repeatedly asked Shi Quanbin what state Xu Ping was in at that time, what expression he had at that time, whether he was happy or angry, happy or angry.

Shi Quanbin didn't know how to describe it, so he could only answer four words, and everything was as usual.

At this time, Zhao Zhen's mood was quite similar to the feeling of Song Taizong after he asked Qian Ruoshui after Lu Mengzheng was demoted, and got the usual answer. Participating in the change of the military system of the Xuanwei Army was brought by Xu Ping, why is it canceled now and there is no response at all? Whether it's the resentment of being powerless to object, or the joy of relief, it's better to give a response.

In the end, it is not as scheming as Song Taizong, Zhao Zhen thinks about it, and things can't just be settled. I had to instruct Shi Quanbin again to summon Xu Ping to Tianzhang Pavilion to play right, and the time was set after Jia Changchao and others finished speaking the scriptures.

As the emperor, Zhao Zhen's schedule for a day is still very full. In the morning, he dealt with the government affairs, and in the afternoon, he listened to Jia Changchao and other attendants lecture and read the scriptures, or record prisoners, introduce martial artists, and other affairs. If there is no special order to cancel these items, then there will be no leisure time from the first time you wake up in the morning to the middle of the night. Xu Ping had long seen that the emperor of the Song Dynasty was like that in front of him, no wonder he would not live old if he did not abdicate, it was annoying to think about it, and the minister could still go to the local government to be at ease.

When I entered the palace, the sun was already about to set, and the red glow sprinkled on the green roof of the palace was not a beautiful scenery. At this time, the royal building is Daiwa white wall, without the golden splendor of the Ming and Qing Dynasty palaces in later generations, but there is a quiet artistic conception.

When he arrived at Tianzhang Pavilion, he saluted like a ritual, Shi Quanbin commanded the little yellow door to serve tea, and Zhao Zhen gave him a seat.

Zhao Zhen looked at Xu Ping, and didn't know where to start for a while, and only said after a while: "A few days ago, you were asked to participate in military affairs and change the military system, and there are many generals in the forbidden army." I didn't want to cause a stir, so I had to give up. ”

Xu Ping praised the wat and said: "Out of Chen's decision, the minister has nothing to say, so he will give up." ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Shi Quanbin who was standing in the distance, and then looked at the sky outside the window that was gradually darkening, he couldn't help it, and asked Xu Ping again: "At that time, you fought for the military system, but if you don't say so, the combat strength of the forbidden army is worrying." Now that it's canceled, how can it be so calm again? Xu Ping, you make my heart very bottomless like this! ”

Xu Ping said: "How can Your Majesty have no bottom in his heart? The state has set up a forbidden army to quell rebellion internally and defend against enemies externally, and in the final analysis, it is to demand that they win the war. Let the Xuanwei Army change the military system, naturally because he feels that the current forbidden army is afraid that it will not be able to fight. Now let the minister not participate in this matter, naturally because he thinks that the forbidden army can win the war. ”

Zhao Zhen thought about it and nodded, as if it was really like this. I met the generals of the forbidden army yesterday, and somehow I think they can still be. Said to Xu Ping: "Although the Northern Expedition Forbidden Army had a slight setback during Taizong's time, its strength is still there, if it is said that they can't fight, I am afraid that it is an exaggeration." Xuanwei Army's affairs, that's fine. ”

Xu Ping echoed casually, and said in his heart, if you think you can win the battle, just treat it as if they can, and don't let the forbidden army fade away the last halo, and the whole court from the emperor to the minister still has illusions. Taizong's Northern Expedition, the forbidden army was defeated, but when it came to Zhenzong, the battle of Shanzhou shot Xiao Darin, and the forbidden army retained the last face. Without a major defeat, it seems that this military system cannot be changed.

At this time, the management of the army was actually a separation of powers, with the three government commanding the army, the Privy Council sending troops, and the marshals using troops. It is the marshal ministers who are really fighting on the front line, and the forbidden army of Sanya can't be used, don't think of a way. Now the military system can't be changed, it's just that the northwest war starts to fight for himself to become a marshal there, and then find a way. After a few defeats, the mouths of the generals of the Sanya Forbidden Army should be closed.

Seeing that Xu Ping answered insincerely, Zhao Zhen had no bottom in his heart, and asked: "How do you look at you, don't you think that the current forbidden army can fight?" Xu Ping, the forbidden army has excellent armor and carefully selected soldiers, which is not ordinary and comparable! ”

"Since Your Majesty asked, the minister had to answer. Yes, in Chen's opinion, the current forbidden army really can't fight. - Of course, if the defeat is also a war, they can still fight. The battle of words is useless, and when it is really time to use the troops, we will see what the results of the forbidden army are. It's just a pity that the soldiers, only with their blood can they block the mouths of the generals of the three ya. ”

Zhao Zhen was a little unhappy: "You have always said that the Northwest Party should be opposed, but most of the people in the middle and the middle still disagree." Yuan Hao is just a rebellious person, Yi Di doesn't know the courtesy, if he really wants to be opposed, it may not be. ”

"Yi Di doesn't know the courtesy? Yuan Hao changed the official system in China and set up the Fan Han Academy, and the system was all studied in this dynasty. Why doesn't he know the courtesy of this look? The minister felt that he understood very well, but he didn't dare to use troops against this dynasty for the time being. ”

"The party is barren and the people are poor, the soldiers are not fine, and the armor is poor, even if you want to rebel, the forbidden army will destroy him in just an instant!"

Xu Ping sighed helplessly: "So it's still the same sentence, whether the minister is right or not, only the blood of the front-line soldiers can prove it." I only hope that by that time, Your Majesty will stop listening to slander and be able to make up his mind. ”

Zhao Zhen didn't speak, and pondered repeatedly in his heart, whether Xu Ping's saying that the forbidden army couldn't fight to the end was right. Of course, it is important to prevent the forbidden army from causing chaos, but the premise is that they can win the war, and if they can't even defend the country, what else can they prevent? After thinking about it, he finally chose to believe in the forbidden army. They spend so much money and food a year, most of the commanders are behind the gates, and the soldiers are carefully selected from all over the country, such an army can't fight, what army can fight?

Xu Ping really once commanded the army to fight, and his opinions cannot be ignored, and it is always good for the monarch and the ministers to be single-minded.
