"The matter of privy counsel roughly began in the Tang Dynasty, and before it was mostly a formality, and it was not important, and the original intention is no longer available, and it has gone through changes and gradually flourished."

"At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the people in charge of privy councils, holding military power, driving the division, the ministers of the court and the central government competed to pour, and the ministers who complemented each other worshiped under the door, and carried out the feasible abolition of the matter, and the power of retreat was also overwhelming the world, and no one could respect it, so that internal and external disputes were endless."

"When the Central Plains is gradually flattened, the countries are initially established, thinking about the past, abolishing the privy authority, and distributing it to the division, after the Zhou Nantang does not talk about it, only says that I am Daqin, the privy council and the military department are in charge of the military, and they hinder each other, and there is a Chinese book placed on it, and the confidential place, the right to promote the transfer of the Beijing army, and then the privy can be in charge......"

"Up to now, the militaristic strategy, border defense, and military horses have gradually been swayed by foreign generals, the palace is forbidden to guard, and the recruitment of Yulin is not available, and the authority such as relocation, cantonment, rewards and punishments, etc., has gradually returned to the Ministry of War, and so on, after a while, in the Privy Council, I am afraid that there are only some counselors left, and there is nothing else except the responsibility of signing."

"In this way, it will be useless, it is better to abolish it as soon as possible, it can be avoided, in the future, someone will be in charge of the privy affairs, and the weight will be more than the worries of the court, but in this way, the military department will enter the Chinese book to participate in politics, it is inevitable that it will be controlled by people, and then it will become a literati in charge of the army, and the military affairs will be abolished, and it will be a matter of defending, and it will be difficult to forge ahead."

"There are many chronic diseases of this dynasty, and there are many evolutions, and there is no need to explain them, so there is no need to say more......"

Although they are not strangers to the Privy Council, there are many insights in it, and when they hear it, they have a refreshing feeling.

And here are all smart people, all of them understand, Nan Eighteen said this, not only to explain the key points to this marshal who rose from the grass, but also has another meaning.

The Privy Council should not be discarded, and if the time comes, it is better to take it......

Zhao Shi was noncommittal, discussed with a few people for a while, and then beat everyone away.

Originally, he still wanted to meet Li Chengqian, but he hit a hard nail here with the privy envoy Wang Daocun, so he had to be more cautious over there.

The privy envoy Wang Daocun is nothing alone, if he and Li Chengqian have a tacit understanding, it is really troublesome, and it is just a humiliation for himself to go, and after discussing with the eighteen people in the south, it is better to wait until the emperor and His Majesty convene the ministers to discuss the matter, and argue with others openly in front of the emperor.

Zhao Shi thought about it, entering the Central Plains, or waving troops in Western Xia, such a militaristic event, although confidentiality first, but it could not be concealed for too long.

Once the army is transferred, the grain and grass will flow to the northwest like a stream, how can it really be impervious to the slightest rumor?

Therefore, he also settled down and waited for the summons in the palace.

In the next few days, he has already begun to ponder here, it is better to take advantage of this time to go around the city, shoot hunting, and inspect the fields in the south of the city, there will be no shortage of excuses to cover people's ears, and by the way, I happened to discuss with Jing Jia about the transfer of family wealth.

I thought it was good, but it still didn't work out.

Because he has settled down here, Li Chengqian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, can't wait.

Seeing that the imperial court was about to move troops, and there were many rumors in the court, the general Zhao Shi returned to Beijing for more than half a month, first visited Li Pu, who was under the same door, and then entered the palace to see the driver, and came out to meet the privy envoy Wang Daocun, his close people here, etc., and went around to inquire for news.

But he got very little, but he only knew that in the privy envoy Wang Daocun, the two of them had a secret investigation, and they didn't know what they were talking about, but they knew that the two were not harmonious.

Later, it seems to have confirmed this, because I heard that the privy envoy Wang Daocun immediately wrote to His Majesty and said some things, but there has been no movement, until there are hidden rumors that the privy envoy Wang Daocun and the general Zhao Shi disagreed, and there were disputes.

In fact, Li Chengqian's heart is like a mirror, it is nothing more than the difference in the direction of the use of troops next year, if it weren't for this, Li Chengqian would not have been able to think of anything else, with the status, status and experience of these two people, what else can they argue about?

And he also understands that Wang Zhenru's time in the position of privy envoy is running out, and when he is coming, it seems that he is going to do something big, but in the final analysis, it is just a love stack of power, Wang Zhenru has not made much achievements over the years, this seems to be to leave something before leaving?

If so, it would be fine, but after that, Wang Daocun repeatedly asked him to go to the Privy Council for deliberations, which felt very bad.

He and Wang Daocun have been fighting for many years, there is no personal relationship, there is something on both sides, official correspondence is the norm, even if there is something important, it is just a mutual understanding, most of them are either in the Chinese book, or they meet in front of the palace, and express their opinions.

Their relationship is clear, there is no false distinction between the top and bottom, but they are also real opponents.

If it is said that there is a personal grudge between him and Zhao Shi, then he and Wang Daocun are the indisputable political enemies in the court, and the opposition arises from the conflict of power and responsibility due to different positions.

Such a relationship makes it impossible for them to establish any personal relationships at all, neither of them can bow to the other party, and if anyone shows a little weakness, the loss of prestige and power will be unbearable for them.

They may sometimes have a tacit understanding, but it is impossible to say who will come.

Obviously, Wang Daocun zài used means to make things bigger, and he also wanted to establish some tacit understanding with him.

However, Li Chengqian didn't want to wade into this muddy water, and he also had his own judgment.

To tell the truth, in addition to the political disputes of the imperial court, he was more inclined to attack the Western Xia first, and then determine the Central Plains, from a purely strategic point of view, the pacification of the Western Xia, the impact on the future battle of the Central Plains is self-evident.

The solid rear puts Daqin in a position where it can be attacked and defended, just like Pingshu back then, which not only removed a trouble, but also gave Daqin a granary.

After that, the expeditions everywhere were all built on this foundation, if it weren't for the abundance of grain and grass, how could Great Qin be so strong and powerful in the countries now?

Without the containment of Western Xia, Daqin's conquest of the Central Plains will no longer have any worries, even if there is a slight defeat, it will not be damaged in the overall situation.

Judging from the information he got, his thoughts coincided with that guy who was also from the old Jingwang Mansion and had a deep grudge against him.

In his opinion, this is a major military event, and it affects the whole body, whether it is Wang Daocun or the general Zhao Shi, what he has done in this matter, he doesn't look very pleasing to the eye, his selfishness is too heavy, and he is really ashamed of his kindness to the court.

Of course, although he despised the behavior of these two guys who could be described as old enemies, he was also a little hesitant to say what to do.

At this time, the input of some henchmen and staff members is extremely important.

In the end, the sentence that moved him was said meaningfully by his staff member Jin Laofuzi, "How old is the champion general?" ”

There is no need to say anything, just this sentence is enough, and it is ridiculous to say, the age of the person back then was also the place he despised the most, but now what made him make up his mind was based on this.

In fact, no matter how much the staff said, it was just to help him make up his mind, he had been up and down in the sea for many years, what was there that he couldn't figure out?

And someone said, "Wang Zhenru is old and decrepit, not in line with His Majesty's wishes, and now he is competing with Zhao Zhuguo, I am afraid that the day of going to the throne is not far away, and the adult is in his prime, why not take advantage of the situation to fight for a long time, so as to fulfill his wish for many years?" If the Lord is a privy envoy, the military department has many old times, but it is not comparable to Wang Zhenru......"

This time, Li Chengqian was really moved.

has been a long-cherished wish for many years, but it is nothing more than a step to get in place.

So, Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of War immediately called his nephew over, handed over the prayer note to his nephew, and dictated his words, and let him take him to the Xingguo Mansion.

The words were sincere, and the posture was very low, and he wanted to ask Zhao Shi to come over to talk about it.

This undoubtedly disrupted Zhao Shi's itinerary, but Li Chengqian took the initiative to invite, which was different from Li Pu's, but the meaning was far from the same.

What's even more interesting is that the Tibetan envoy is said to have asked people everywhere to meet him, the champion general.

Xu is the Tibetan envoys have touched more nails in Chang'an, and they have learned smarter, so they did not go directly to the door, but walked around and asked for favors.

However, Zhao Shi has been back in Beijing for so many days, and the Tibetan envoys have only reacted, and I have to say that they, as envoys, are very dull.

Because Zhao Shi is a person who can really influence the affairs of Tubo's vassals, and he has a good relationship with King Guiyi, at this time he remembered to ask for his people everywhere, and he can only let people know clearly that they received a cold reception in Chang'an City.

In contrast, the envoys of Western Xia were much more well-informed, and at the beginning of Zhao Shi's return to Beijing, he had already sent gifts and asked to see Zhao Shi.

But the attack on Western Xia was imminent, and Zhao Shi didn't want to bother with these Western Xia envoys, so he refused without hesitation, and even ordered the gift to be sent back intact.

I am not afraid that the envoys of the Western Xia will perceive what they mean, if they didn't feel threatened, how could they come to Chang'an thousands of miles away, bow their heads, and send a large piece of territory at the same time, in order to seek peace?

As for the Tibetan envoys, Zhao Shi didn't have the heart to see them, and before the court made a decision, he would cause trouble when he saw them, and he didn't intend to influence the court's decision too much in this matter......

On the evening of the same day, Zhao Shi came to the Li Mansion by car......

(Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for praise, the real end of the month is coming, but Acao's degree can't come up, anxious, mainly because this paragraph always feels difficult, and the dialogue is always thinking about it, it is estimated that it is more tired than the characters in the text, hehe, I can only continue to work hard, everyone supports it.)
