This is the operating mechanism of the Song Dynasty. The prime ministers of the two governments will discuss major issues related to the country, and when necessary, they will seek out bachelors who are good at this field to inquire.
When the two governments have reached an agreement, the report will be reported to the government, and all the contents and results must not be disclosed to Zhongshu.
Ye An knew that his warning to the court would definitely be shelved, and Xue Kui, the only one who supported him, only proposed to take some precautions in the border states, but his proposal could not meet the current defense needs of the Song Dynasty.
In Ye An's eyes, the Dangxiang people are bound to go south again. It is only a matter of time. If the Song Dynasty cannot respond effectively, the defeat of Haoshuichuan will definitely happen again, and the offensive and defensive positions of the Song Dynasty and Dangxiang will be exchanged.
This is what Ye An least wants to see. He asked Ding Xiaoyi to assist Rosanna in integrating the forces in the Western Regions, and he also had to guard against the Jiao Si Luo who was about to move in Qingtang. If the party invaded the Song Dynasty southward again, the imperial court would inevitably mobilize the Huaiyuan Army and Xi Lie
Army, your chances will be completely disrupted.
The land of Ganliang is currently undergoing vigorous development, but it is also on the edge of danger. Whether it is the Song Dynasty or Dangxiang, Ye An's previous arrangements can be wiped out in an instant.
So at this time, Ye An was trying his best to maintain the stability of the Song Dynasty, and he was also trying his best not to irritate the party.
But contrary to expectations, the current ministers of the two governments do not think that Dang Xiang is a threat to the Song Dynasty, and they still regard him as Li Yuanhao as just a barbarian leader. This is a very stupid idea.
Ye An's previous plan to annex Qingtang was wiped out due to their consultations, and now he was about to make the same mistake again. Naturally, he was angry and angry. When he left, he didn't even bother to say hello, and left in a hurry.
Lu Yijian looked at Wang Zeng and frowned slightly: "This guy has unique vision. Maybe Li Yuanhao has the heart to be independent!"
Wang Zeng shook his head slightly when he heard the words: "Maybe he will be self-reliant, but as long as my dynasty is strong and gives both kindness and power, the party members will not dare to make mistakes!" After saying that, he saw Li Di beside him nodding slightly, and immediately said: "Li Di
What are your thoughts on joining politics?”
Li Di smiled and said: "Xi Xiu just thinks that Privy Wang's words are very safe. The best policy is to combine the imperial court's kindness and power, not to mention the tribes in the border states can be mobilized to disturb Li Yuanhao's heart. The conflicts between the tribes in the northwest have always been a small matter but a big problem.
, Li Yuanhao tried his best to intimidate all the party ministries. If there are people who return to the country at this time, it will be difficult for him to end it. There are so many tribes in the border states. If they can be persuaded to return, Li Yuanhao will definitely be hard-pressed!"
Wang Zeng laughed loudly when he heard the words: "You Li Fuzhu, your words are very popular in the border states. As long as the Dangxiang people are constantly distracted, he, Li Yuanhao, will have trouble sleeping and eating. He will have internal and external troubles. How can he be independent? Ye Changsheng cares too much about the northwest.
Isn't it because I'm worried about the coolness that I'm so deeply involved in it?"
These words were heart-breaking words. Xue Kui frowned and said: "Maybe that's not the case. Although the land of Ganliang is managed by Ye An, he has been in the Imperial City Division and is a direct scholar of Tianzhang Pavilion. He is no longer in Ganliang.
He is also the person who knows Li Yuanhao best..."
"But Puhui Company is vigorously operating Ganliang! Both the Xilie Army and the Huaiyuan Army are following Ye Changsheng's lead!" Wang Zeng suddenly stood up and shouted loudly as if his whole body was set on fire.
Seeing everyone looking at him in surprise, he immediately said: "Puhui Company gave Ganliang a lot of money and actually controlled the two armies. Once there is a police force in the northwest, Ganliang will definitely become the fortress of the country and penetrate directly into the back of the party! This is
Although it is beneficial to the country... it is not beneficial to Ganliang!"
Everyone was surprised. Lu Yijian looked at Wang Zeng with confusion in his eyes. The two had discussed this matter a long time ago, but there was no evidence. Everything Wang Zeng said now was just speculation. The two privately guessed the same thing.
But saying it is another matter. Without evidence, this is a blatant slander.
No one would believe that he, Ye An, and Ye Changsheng would become a strong man who could support his troops and manage his own affairs. What's more, the whole family of Yunzhong County Prince's Mansion is in Tokyo City, and he, Ye An, is even still in the Imperial City Division!
Sure enough, the first person to react was Xue Kui, who couldn't help laughing and said: "Ms. Wang is joking. Although Ye Hou was once a bit cool, he has long been far away from the northwest. He was once a bachelor of the official family, and now
He also took charge of the Imperial City Department and was a bachelor of Tianzhangzhi in Guange. Such speculation is not the work of the two governments!"
Li Di also followed closely and said: "Ye An is well known throughout the court. He is said to have literary qualifications, but he is not satisfactory. The person who came to Suoting to take the exam was a Jinshi. He was said to be a military general although he led troops in battle, but he was not a military general. Chang said:
I am a lonely minister. Since I am a lonely minister, I will end up in the official family. How dare I be so wanton?"
"Besides, there is no evidence..." Lu Yijian added the last sentence leisurely, which completely silenced Wang Zeng, but he couldn't help but said: "Even so, the court has to be on guard, and weakening Ganliang is the best way!"
Xue Kui and Li Di looked at each other. They didn't expect Wang Zeng to be so persistent on this matter. Lu Yijian tried to smooth things over and said with a smile: "The prince is worried too much. If he is really uneasy, he will report to the officials to restrict the northwest trade and ban it."
Do business with Dangxiang in the Western Regions, but do not reduce your military equipment, otherwise once there is a police force in the northwest, Ganliang's extraordinary troops will be gone! No matter how long Ye An's hands are, he will not be able to reach the military power in the northwest."
This was the result that Wang Zeng wanted. He did not believe that Ye An could control the Xilie Army and the Huaiyuan Army. The imperial court had already sent a new commander to take over and replace him. As a privy envoy, he still had this right, and then said:
"So good!"
Wang Zeng spared no effort in attacking Ye An. He was not Lu Yijian. As a leader of the civil service elite, he had his own dignity in the court. For Ye An, whose literary qualifications were not counted and his military position was not the only one.
I look down upon you the most.
In his opinion, Ye An should belong to Wenzi Qingliu, but now it seems that is not the case. His reconciliation with Lu Yijian is the situation that Wang Zeng least wants to see. If this is the case, then exclude him!
The political game is quite cruel. Sometimes you don't offend the person at all but it will not hurt you. Sometimes you will be hostile if you don't choose a side. Sometimes you will incur the hatred of others if you want to reconcile.
But Wang Zeng, Lu Yijian, and even Li Di and Xue Kui who were in Zhongshu didn't understand that Ye An was not a politician, he was a practical man. His purpose was very simple, to suppress party items and never let the Song Dynasty be around again.
A powerful empire emerged.
The politicians in the court did not understand the terror of Dangxiang. Once this barbarian tribe grew up, it would soon become a trouble for the Song Dynasty under the leadership of a king like Li Yuanhao.
The northwest will never be peaceful from now on, and the trade of the Song Dynasty will be the most severely affected.
An empire that relies on prosperous trade to grow its own empire will lose its external power once it suffers a setback in the northwest trade. Although this power cannot be seen or touched, and can even be replaced by the internal circulation of the Song Dynasty, it will not last for a long time.
The loss will worsen the economy of the Song Dynasty.
The last thing Ye An wanted to see happened. After reading Zhongshu's two palace ensembles, Zhao Zhen simply ordered Bianzhou to strengthen its defenses to prevent the party from invading southward. At the same time, he recruited tribesmen to surrender and appointed them to official positions.
That's all.
The pressure on Dang Xiang that Ye An expected did not appear. Not only did Zhao Zhen not want to do this, but even the civil servants and generals in the DPRK did not want to do this. In their view, it would be easier to force Li Yuanhao to stand on his own by putting pressure on Dang Xiang. It is better to maintain the status quo.
good.
After the court meeting, Ye An did not go to the Imperial City Division, but left the palace city directly. This dynasty really disappointed him.
