Seeing Kou Zhun's inconsistent reactions, Li Jie vaguely figured out the deeper meaning behind it.
These people are reminding themselves not to ignore them too much.
Thinking of this, Li Jie couldn't help but laugh.
Innocent!
Do you think that if you do this, you will compromise?
What a joke!
To paraphrase a later saying, if you don’t do it, others will!
From ancient times to the present, China has been deeply influenced by the idea of officialdom. Being an official or a high official is definitely a matter of honoring one's ancestors.
There are only so many seats above, one carrot and one pit. There are countless people staring at these seats.
The scholar-bureaucrat group seems to be united, but it is not difficult to break up their alliance.
The method is nothing more than differentiation and co-optation.
Everyone has their own demands. With a little inducement and suppression, this fragile alliance can easily be broken up.
The real difficulties were the local gentry.
This group of people is the real ailment of the Song Dynasty.
After all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away.
Even if Li Jie increases the number of supervisors, he cannot fully grasp the local situation.
Although it is difficult to solve stubborn problems, Li Jie is not anxious at all. He is still young and can afford to wait.
Spend ten or eight years cultivating a group of real people, and then send these people to places.
Boil the frog in warm water to slowly resolve this condition.
"Mao Ze, get the secret report No. A and C that came in today."
After laughing, Li Jie certainly would not let it go. He planned to take the opportunity to slap the ministers in the audience.
The head is not that easy to get!
certainly.
Which one you target is also very particular.
first.
Kou Zhun cannot act casually, and the next few major events must be carried out through Kou Zhun.
Wang Qinruo cannot move for the time being.
Although Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty was a little overjoyed and a little weak, the theory of different theories and conflicts he summarized is still very insightful.
Balance is very important.
Wang Qinruo wanted to catch Kou Zhun's sore spot more than anyone else. With him watching, the Imperial City Secretary would be much less worried.
The two prime ministers could not move, and the next in line was Privy Councilor Cao Cao.
Li Jie has long wanted to replace Cao Lili, but the time is not right yet and he has to wait.
Because Cao Wei's qualifications are still a little shallow, if Cao Yong resigns, even if Cao Wei takes over as Privy Councilor, he will inevitably be criticized.
Under the Privy Council, one is involved in political affairs.
Lu Yijian and Ren Zhongzheng, choose one of the two.
Regardless of family background or personal ability, Lu Yijian is the stronger one.
Logically speaking, Ren Zhongzheng is the unlucky guy.
After all, who asked him to be friendly with Ding Wei?
Ding Wei was dismissed as prime minister. As the backbone of Ding Wei's family, it was reasonable and reasonable for Ren Zhongzheng to be demoted.
However, Li Jie felt that simply demoting Ren Zhongzheng would not be enough!
Lu Yijian was born in the Lu family of Donglai. He was the nephew of prime minister Lu Mengzheng and the son-in-law of famous minister Ma Liang. Lu Yijian was also related by marriage to many prominent families.
In short, Lu Yijian's weight was sufficient, and deposing him would not only deter the literati and bureaucrats who rebelled, but would not affect the government's affairs.
As for how to arrange Lu Yijian, it has something to do with the secret report of No. A and C.
After a while, Zhang Mao returned to the palace holding a copy of the letter. Li Jie glanced at him and then gave instructions.
"Give the secret report to all your gentlemen for circulation."
"yes."
Immediately, Zhang Mao walked up to Kou Zhun.
"Mr. Kou, please read it."
After receiving the secret report, Kou Zhun immediately began to read it, but when he saw the contents of the first page of the secret report, he did not react for a long time.
I saw him looking at the secret report with a shocked look on his face, his hand raised in the air, just standing there, motionless.
At the same time, when the officials saw Kou Zhun's expression, they couldn't help but feel shocked.
What kind of secret report was it that made Kou Zhun, who had been through many trials and tribulations, lose his composure in court?
Thinking of this, the curiosity of the officials was suddenly aroused, but the secret report was now in Kou Zhun's hands. Even if they were in a hurry, they could only endure it.
You can't urge Kou Zhun to hurry up in court, right?
If you really do this, you may not be able to escape the crime of misconduct.
Fortunately, Kou Zhun did not keep everyone waiting for too long. It didn't take long for Kou Zhun to return to his normal state, quickly read the secret report, and then passed the secret report to the next person, namely Wang Qinruo.
When Wang Qinruo saw the secret report, his reaction was not far different from Kou Zhun's.
Everyone is shocked!
The Li family of Xiazhou wanted to surrender to the Song Dynasty. In order to show his sincerity, Li Deming was willing to return Lingzhou directly.
From the Zhidao period to the present, Lingzhou has been occupied for nearly thirty years.
Today, the Song Dynasty did not mention this matter, but Li Deming took the initiative to mention it and was willing to dedicate the land of Lingwu.
The strategic value of Lingwu Land is beyond doubt!
If there was a choice, of course it would be better to reintroduce Song Tu.
But after two consecutive years of war, the finances were indeed a bit overwhelmed. Even though the Song Dynasty was not afraid of the Xiazhou Li family, it had to take a break.
But what the ministers never expected was that the Song Dynasty would have the opportunity to take back the land of Lingwu without spending a single soldier.
This is simply the rule of the Holy King they pursue!
certainly.
The Xiazhou Li family was not completely without demands. Li Deming hoped that the Song Dynasty could cancel the salt ban and reopen the mutual trade.
For Song Dynasty, this was just a very small thing.
It's just mutual trading.
Just open it!
If one place is not enough, open more places!
By opening a few mutual markets, you can exchange for the land of Lingwu. Anyone who is not a fool knows how to do this.
After a while, the secret report was circulated.
At this time, their thoughts were completely different from before.
The general trend of the official family has been achieved!
Even a wolf cub like Xiazhou Li took the initiative to join him, and he was a serious person, not a hypocritical pretentious person.
Even if you are willing to cut off the land of Lingzhou, can you not be sincere?
What Taizu and Taizong were not able to do was accomplished by officials. Since then, the Song Dynasty has had an additional Holy Lord!
If you go against the Holy Lord, you will get no good fruit!
In the future, they all have to prepare for a hard life.
Hiding quietly and waiting for the opportunity is the most correct choice.
After all, no matter how powerful the official family is, they can only live one life. After surviving the official family, there will be opportunities in the future.
Although their generation won't be able to see it, descendants of their family still have a chance.
"What do you think of Li's request to surrender to Xiazhou?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Qinruo jumped out, stood up and shouted.
"Your Majesty is the true British Lord, and the Li family of Xiazhou will take the initiative to join you and treat it as a holy canon!"
Immediately, all kinds of flattery sounds were heard, and everyone agreed to accept the affiliation of the Xiazhou Li family.
"In that case, we will accept Li's submission."
Not long after, when the flattery stopped, Li Jie nodded slightly.
"However, there are conditions for accepting the Xiazhou Li family."
"Lu Qing, I would like to send you as an envoy to Xiazhou, what do you think?"
