Zhao Ning took a look, yo, isn't this the famous traitor Xu Bingzhe in the late Northern Song Dynasty?
When Xu Bingzhe saw that He Li was losing power, he immediately jumped out and wanted to put an end to He Li.
This is a typical political opportunist.
Political opportunists are fine, as long as they have real talents and integrity, it doesn't matter if they speculate or not.
After all, who doesn't want to speculate on their own position when they have a chance?
Do you think I am going to promote the Zhuhe faction today?
Hehe, today I am just going to find an upstart Lord He sent to chop me up and shake people's hearts.
If you continue to fight on the surface, I really have nothing to do with you.
But you are cooperating, afraid that I don't have any heads to send to the city to show the public?
You are so sincere, how can I let you down!
Zhao Ning said, "Xu Qing, what's your opinion?"
Chapter 11 I just like the guy who hates people like this
Xu Bingzhe said: "Now is not the time to go to war."
"You mean peace?"
"The minister has exactly this intention."
Xu Bingzhe said bluntly, he was thinking, the two big men of the main combat faction have both gone to prison, isn't the direction of the wind obvious!
The officials want peace, but they can't pull it off the table, so I, as a courtier, have to share the worries of the officials!
Look, am I a loyal minister?
Great loyalty!
And in this court, most of the people are in peace, and I stand on the side of most of them, so I won't be implicated by He Li.
I'm such an old wit!
"I think that the Jin people are just barbarians who are greedy for a little money. My Song Dynasty is rich all over the world, so I just give them some. As long as they get money, they will retreat."
As Xu Bingzhe continued to speak, the ministers around him began to scold Xu Bingzhe for being shameless.
Zhao Ning asked: "Where does the money come from? The imperial treasury is tight."
Xu Bingzhe said: "It is absolutely possible to borrow from the common people. The court also wants to protect their safety, and the common people will not have any objections."
"No objection?" The smile on Zhao Ning's face suddenly disappeared, his expression turned cold, as cold as a piece of ice, and his tone became sharper, "I will be the first to conscript all of your Xu Bingzhe's family fortune. , would you like it!"
"Your Majesty calm down, the minister is also thinking of a way to retreat from the enemy."
Originally, when Xu Bingzhe said this, there were also ministers from the Peaceful Faction who planned to come out to follow, but the emperor's attitude suddenly changed.
The taxation of the Great Song Dynasty is famous in history, and there are all kinds of clever names.
I can't wait for the common people to pay taxes as soon as they breathe.
The officials of the Great Song Dynasty racked their brains every day, trying to get away from the people at the bottom.
Xu Bingzhe is a typical example of peeling the skin of the common people and pulling the tendons of the common people, and then giving the money to the Jinren, but he himself will not give it at all.
Facing the emperor's sudden attitude, Xu Bingzhe was also a little confused for a while.
Your Majesty, haven't you dismissed He Li, the leader of the main combat faction?
You should be the master and reconcile!
Since the Lord is at peace, let's get some money out, the minister is right?
Zhao Ning said with a gloomy face: "Okay, even if you give the Jinren a sum of money, what if the Jinren don't retreat?"
Xu Bingzhe's palms broke out in cold sweat, and he stammered, "This...Your Majesty, the golden man must..."
"I ask you, what will happen if the person who gave the money and gold doesn't retreat!"
Wang Shiyong on one side is about to act, and those peacemakers are also ready to move.
Zhao Ning immediately said angrily: "Say it! The man who gave money and gold will not retreat, what should we do!"
Is he really furious?
He is so angry, the reason why he is going crazy now is to stop more peace factions from standing up.
He Li lost power, and the peace faction raised its head. If all these bullshits are really allowed to stand up today, the situation will really not be easy to suppress.
Therefore, before Wang Shiyong and others act, Zhao Ning is going to strike first.
The emperor's voice echoed in the vaulted hall.
Wang Shiyong said: "Your Majesty, I..."
"Shut up! It's Xu Bingzhe I'm asking. Don't all of you know that the monarch and his ministers discuss matters first and then later? Don't you know that interrupting my questioning casually is disrespectful to me!"
As soon as the emperor's words came out, the officials were immediately shocked.
Wang Shiyong was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty calm down, I am terrified!"
Officials in the Song Dynasty did not kneel, for example, during important ceremonies, such as when being questioned.
The other ministers also trembled.
what's the situation?
Didn't He Li be dismissed just now?
Why all of a sudden...
Your Majesty, is this the main battle?
For a while, everyone was a little confused.
What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd in the official house today, I really can't tell for sure.
Zhao Ning glanced at the other ministers coldly. The other ministers were about to speak, but they were so scolded by the emperor that they didn't dare to say more.
Only Xu Bingzhe was left standing in the middle, trembling with a dazed expression.
He couldn't stand still, he knelt limply on the ground and buried his head.
Zhao Ning was still somewhat angry. These guys, when they did things, they just opened their mouths. They didn't care about the consequences or the next situation. They only thought about themselves, and only wanted to make money for their political future.
In fact, there were many civil servants with integrity and ability in the Northern Song Dynasty.
For example, Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, and Fu Bi back then, and later Wang Anshi, Sima Guang barely counted as half of them, and Zhang Yi (jie, two voices) who almost defeated Xixia.
Even Zhong Shidao, a famous general of the Western Army, and Zong Ze, who was forming a military force in Hebei at this time to fight against gold with all his strength, was also a civil servant.
Civil officials in the Northern Song Dynasty were not as shameless as they were in the late Ming Dynasty in terms of ideology.
However, after more than [-] years of tossing by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, the central ministers in the court were basically better than the other, and the political atmosphere was turned into a mess.
The current situation is the mess left by Song Huizong.
Of course, Zhao Ning does not plan to rectify the mess in the court.
After all, the most important thing right now is to serve the enemy, and doing other things is not doing business properly.
Wait for the Jinren to retreat, and then operate slowly.
Political matters are the most urgent thing, and the knife must be cut with a knife.
He looked at Xu Bingzhe coldly, you jumped out by yourself, if I don't take you into surgery, I will be sorry for your painstaking efforts towards me!
So how can we call everything to serve the enemy?
Very simple.
[-]. Dismiss He Li, the idiot and main fighter.
[-]. In front of everyone, kill a main peace faction and block the mouth of the main peace faction.
[-]. By the way, copy a house and make a small fortune.
Zhao Ning stared at Xu Bingzhe, and said in a cold voice, "Stop talking?"
Xu Bingzhe was trembling all over, but his mind was spinning rapidly.
He didn't know what the emperor wanted to do now.
However, there are so many peacemakers in the court, and if you advocate peace yourself, you are on the side of the majority, so there must be nothing wrong.
Even if the emperor doesn't want to make peace, so what?
Can the emperor change the current situation!
Thinking of this, Xu Bingzhe bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, negotiating peace is the only way. The purpose of this minister is to preserve Your Majesty's country, the country of the Great Song Dynasty!"
Zhao Ning sneered: "Did you all hear that? He said it was to preserve my country! I asked him what to do if he gave the gold man money and the gold man would not retreat. He replied that it was to preserve my country! "
"Listen up, all of you! This is Xu Bingzhe who is answering my question. A prefect of Kaifeng who has the power to answer my question, answers the wrong question! This is my prefect who knows the right to Kaifeng! This is my minister! Does he often answer irrelevant questions like this when discussing matters below! "
Chapter 12
Some people don't have the ability to fart, but when discussing issues, they immediately stand on the commanding heights of morality, with a face that I'm all for your own good, as if it's your fault if you argue with him.
Dealing with this kind of person is very simple, focus on the problem, don't talk about anything else with me!
When it comes to hating people, Zhao Ning is not easy to provoke.
Song Qinzong Zhao Huan can't do anything with you, and Lao Tzu can't do anything with you?
Xu Bingzhe continued to bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, with the current strength of the city, it is impossible to compete with the Jinren. Peace is the only way out."
To be honest, Xu Bingzhe regretted jumping into this pit himself, but right now, he has no way out.
I can only bite the bullet and continue.
His confidence comes from the fact that most of the people in the court are peaceful.
And even if he violated Tianwei, he thought that the emperor would dismiss him from his position at most, and would not dismiss him from his official position.
It's basically been done this way before.
As long as he is not opposed by the majority in this court, he will not be demoted.
This is also one of the national conditions of the Great Song Dynasty, and one of the methods used by Zhao officials to control the officials.
Generally speaking, the political struggle in the Northern Song Dynasty still had a very high bottom line.
And based on the current situation, it is impossible to fight at all. Even if the emperor gets angry temporarily, he will still have to negotiate a peace at that time, and he is still safe and sound.
"Zhang Shuye." Zhao Ning's tone softened.
Zhang Shuye came out and said, "The minister is here."
Everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Shuye again.
Isn't the emperor hating Xu Bingzhe?
Why did Zhang Shuye come out suddenly?
People can't understand.
Zhao Ning said, "Have you ever worked in Qinfeng Road?"
(Qinfeng Road is one of the 24 roads in the Northern Song Dynasty. The roads in the Northern Song Dynasty are equivalent to the later provinces and belong to the provincial level. Qinfeng Road is in Shaanxi, including part of Gansu later.)
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I once served as a recorder in Lanzhou and joined the army."
"But there are other military positions?"
"I used to know the Ansu Army."
The Ansu Army is a local military region in the Song Dynasty, the military and political region, in Xuzhou.
(There are Fu, Zhou, and Army below the road. The army here is a local military town, such as Ansu Army, which can be understood as Ansu Military Town.)
Zhang Shuye said that if he knew the Ansu Army, he was in charge of the Ansu Army, just like knowing Kaifeng Mansion and serving as the magistrate of Kaifeng Mansion.
Knowing that the Ansu Army is a military and political position.
"Then answer my question."
"Please make it clear, Your Majesty."
"Shaking the morale of the army before the battle, how should we deal with it?"
