Chapter 779 People should be responsible for their actions
The city of Shanchan was already in a mess. The mess was not caused by the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, but by the nobles who fled in the Yinshi period.
Not leaving the Song Dynasty with a complete city, it can only leave the Song Dynasty with trouble... Judging from such thoughts, the little pity Zhang Dun had for that man also dissipated.
Zhang Dun is a civil servant, a relatively ruthless civil servant. The people are the most important, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important. Zhang Dun never dares to forget the teachings. Just look at the killers of the Southern Expeditionary Army. Judging from their faces,
I can see their intolerance.
A nobleman who doesn't care about the life and death of his people will never achieve anything if he talks about it.
"I don't care about the stable succession of the Song Dynasty. I don't care about the lives of my followers. I will do whatever it takes to achieve the goal... We are glad that we don't have such a superior! Marshal, if you are good at explaining the chaos in the government, the lower officials will no longer send farewell to the army."
·····”
Zheng Xia bowed his hand and began to enter the role. Managing the chaos in Shanchan Mansion could actually promote the people of Shanchan Mansion to identify with the Song Dynasty.
"Order the entire army to pursue at full speed without stopping! I will make them understand what a lost dog is!"
Since entering Dali, the pack horses of the chariots have also turned into dwarf horses. Although these horses are not superior in speed, they are really not comparable to horses from the northwest in terms of endurance. Dali is mountainous, sloped, and short.
Horses are much more practical than northwest war horses.
Following Zhang Dun's order, the entire army quickly passed through Shanchan City and pursued northwestward...
When the report arrived at Bianliang, no ministers said anything. It was obvious that they all understood what Zhang Dun had done.
Based on the inertial thinking in the early years, civil servants would think that those who disobeyed the Song Dynasty were the royal family of Dali, so what did they have to do with other tribes?
But now, in the face of the mood of the officials, no one dares to talk nonsense anymore. Even if Dali is in ruins, it will not hinder the affairs of the Song Dynasty ministers. It is just to borrow a topic and gain fame.
Another five years have passed, and the three-level decision-making system of the Song Dynasty, that is, the power class of the court, is about to be reorganized again. This is what the court ministers are concerned about. Who will disobey the official's wishes at this time?
"Officials, Zhang Zihou's move can indeed weaken the resistance forces to a limited extent, but the veteran believes that it is best to stop it. After all, Dali is about to belong to the imperial court, and the Central Plains people are unwilling to move south, so Dali still needs to be enriched by barbarian people.
······”
In the early years, Fu Bi might not have been like this. Nanzhao was the main reason for the chaos in the previous dynasty, and the officials of the entire dynasty definitely had a bad impression of Nanzhao. But now, Fu Bi really doesn't care about Nanzhao's barbarians in his heart.
.
Zhao Xi listened to whatever Fu Bi said. Once things started, there was no chance of giving up halfway, and Zhao Xi had no habit of dictating the front line.
"In the official family, the senior ministers are old, and it is time for the senior ministers of this generation to become officials. This is not an excuse, it is really what I think. Several senior ministers in the cabinet have this idea."
"Both Mr. Ouyang and Sima Junshi were very attentive to the preparations for the establishment of the Pavilion. The imperial court has also given instructions to us and other veterans. Although we did not complete the recovery of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun within the term of office, it is indeed a pity for us and other ministers.
, but the old minister knows that people should not be greedy and must leave some opportunities for future generations."
"Officials, don't be surprised that the old minister thinks so. Regarding the Dali barbarians, in his early years, the old minister was not even more kind than Zhang Zihou. The reason why the old minister dared to persuade the officials to let go is because today's country is different from the past...
"
"Officials, in the early years, although Dali was no more powerful than the imperial dynasty, it was not incapable of fighting back at all. Now, not to mention a hundred thousand lions, even thirty or twenty thousand can roam across the territory of Dali, invincible. No one else,
The country is strong and prosperous!"
"In today's Song Dynasty, I can't get enough of the veteran! Once upon a time, the veteran wanted to serve as an official and return to his hometown. Now, even if the officials urge him not to stay in Bianliang, the veteran will refuse to leave. Don't ask for anything,
I just want to see this powerful Song Dynasty!"
"The official family and the resurgence of the Song Dynasty are our generation's expectations throughout our lives. They have been our expectations for the past few decades. It is the official family's governance that makes our generation's expectations become a reality. Please pay homage to me, veteran~~"
Fu Bi, who was in his seventies, had not yet reached the point where his legs and feet were weak, but he knelt down straight like this... Except for special etiquette, there was no kneeling ceremony in the Song Dynasty, and Fu Bi knelt down.
, is really an expression of respect to Zhao Xi, and a thank you to the founder of Zhongxing in the Song Dynasty!
"The rich prime minister can't do anything!"
Zhao Xi quickly stood up, walked quickly to Fu Bi, and helped Lao Fu Bi up...
"Fu Xiang, why are you saying this? The two cabinets played an indispensable role in the great changes in the country. The strength of the Song Dynasty was not the result of Zhao Xi alone, but the joint efforts of the imperial court."
"I haven't considered the change of cabinet yet. I don't want you to leave the court with regrets..."
"Guan family, don't do this. We are already seventy years old, and we don't want to make people unhappy. Guan family, how will the Guan family deal with the Dali Duan family and the second prince?"
Is this turn of events too fast? He was just sensationalizing, but he got down to business in the blink of an eye. Zhao Xi was a little suspicious. Fu Bi started by talking about some words of intimacy with the purpose of asking for mercy from the beginning...
··
"The situation of the official family in Dali is a mixture of white, barbarian and black barbarians. The army passing through the border can suppress disobedience for a while, but it is difficult to sustain. In the future, the government of the court will need a leader recognized by the barbarians...
"
The words are very straightforward. Fu Bi's opinion is to keep the Duan family and continue to be the royal family in Dali. So, since an outsider from the Duan family can survive when involved in the affairs of the Song Dynasty's heir, the second prince does not need to.
said.
In view of Fu Bi's sensational paragraph before, Zhao Xi had not yet recovered. Zhao Xi did not reply to Fu Bi's suggestion for a while.
"The veteran has overstepped his bounds..."
"Prime Minister, everyone should be responsible for their own actions, no one is exception. If I manage the country in a mess, even if I can get away with it when I am in office, I will bear the infamy behind me."
"Whether it is the second prince or the Duan family in Dali, since they have engaged in disobedient behavior, they should be held responsible for it. The result is determined by their own actions..."
"As for the dynasty under the control of Dali, I believe Zheng Jiefu... Even if there is any accident, I can implement a governor-general system in Dali, which means that the governor has the power to act expediently. The Duan family only needs to give a name, but it is absolutely not allowed.
It’s Duan Lianyi!”
This was considered a confession. Zhao Xi also became a little emotional.
"Official family, second prince..."
"Rich Prime Minister, tiger poison will not eat its children, so how can I not be in trouble? The prince begged for mercy, the queen begged for mercy, it seems that I am the only one who is cold-blooded... But I dare not say this, because I don't want the throne of the country to change like the previous dynasty.
Such a situation where corpses are laid to rest and no one cares about attacking each other..."
"Before Zhang Zihou went on the expedition, I had told him that I intended to let the Southern Expeditionary Army knock down Lang Song in Annan and leave them there... Isn't it pretentious? Whether he lives or dies is up to him.
Got it!"
From the bottom of his heart, Zhao Xi really hoped that the treacherous son could carve out a new world. In today's era, the death of people and the decline of political power are more serious. Zhao Xi is not sure about the direction of the country in a hundred years, or in the next generation...
