Han Qi asked himself to preside over the construction of his father's mountain tomb.
Isn't that right? Isn't it just letting Sima Guang take the blame? As for scaring you, Old Han, into this?
In Dad's Mountain Tomb, Zhao Xi did not recruit the civilians, but those who had already been recruited were all dismissed after he came back.
He handed this matter directly to Gongfang City and left it to Li Jie to take the lead.
He has yet to find a better builder in the country than Li Jie.
Originally, the Shanling envoy should have a minister, which is a common practice.
After coming back, because he was attacked, he was so busy that the political hall didn't mention it, and Zhao Xi didn't take it seriously.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Lao Han at this stall asked himself to be the envoy of Shanling.
I hope Lao Han isn't hiding... Han Qi shouldn't be that kind of person, and it's not impossible to show goodwill in this way.
"Your Highness, the official mausoleum has been neglected due to the recent disturbances in the court. Now the court should have a period of stability. It is the responsibility of the imperial court that Zhigui is in charge of the construction of the mausoleum."
As the prime minister, Fu Bi's words were very pertinent, and Zhao Xi did not hear any other meaning. The matter was settled as it was.
"Your Highness, the clan members are together..."
Clan members are a special group, not just family affairs, nor just court affairs. Zhao Xi did not mention it in his proposal for hearing the case.
No one thought that this was to let the clan go. The clan's rebellion was even more terrifying than the participation of civil servants and military generals, and they were also the leading masterminds of the rebellion.
That’s why Fu Bi asked this question.
Fu Bi was also unlucky. He was considered quite capable in the Song Dynasty and the most suitable person to be prime minister.
But facing the current situation, it is also a bit messy.
"Let Zhao Zongshi take the lead!"
This...~Hearing Zhao Xi's words, Fu Bi felt like he couldn't close his mouth for a while.
It turns out that His Highness the Crown Prince's ruthlessness is not directed at civil servants, but is even more ruthless towards clan members.
Zhao Zongshi, who is that? He was raised in the palace since he was a child. He was drafted as the heir to the unification before His Highness the Crown Prince. He was promoted to the throne by this group of rebels.
At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually asked Zhao Zongshi to lead the sentencing of the clan, which is equivalent to asking Zhao Zongshi to kill his brothers...
Compared with his relatives, His Royal Highness can be said to be kind to civil servants.
Fu Bi was speechless, really speechless. He really couldn't find a better way to punish those who rebelled than His Highness the Crown Prince.
Whether it is to kill a chicken to scare a monkey or to serve as a warning to others, His Royal Highness the Prince's handling of the entire rebellion may not be in line with the principles of a gentleman, nor is it a moderate approach, but it is definitely the most deterrent method.
Those who are coerced will go to great lengths to crucify the person who coerced him.
And those who knew but did not report it must hate those who conspired with him.
Regardless of whether they were deprived of their fame or demoted in the end, looking at those whose heads were chopped off, they would only feel happy and even grateful for His Highness the Crown Prince's differential treatment.
As for the psychological torture of undertaking this matter, Sima Junshi will only bear the blame.
Don't expect that no one will know about Sima Junshi's confrontation with His Highness the Crown Prince. Even the husband-in-law has his own closeness and casual chats will let everyone know.
This is the strategy of His Highness the Crown Prince. Once upon a time, Fu Bi praised His Highness the Crown Prince's strategy, but now he can only praise it.
Comparing this campaign with His Royal Highness, Fu Bi felt a little pity for those Xixia people.
In the same area, with the same method, there were still more troops than twenty years ago, but His Highness was completely beaten by the Crown Prince, and nearly half of the cavalry was lost.
Han Zhigui may have seen the extraordinary power of His Highness from the comparison of the two battles of Haoshuichuan, and chose to ask himself to be the envoy of Shanling to show his kindness to His Highness.
Fu Bi suddenly remembered that twenty years ago, during the Qingli period, Prime Minister Pang once said that with such an emperor, one does not know whether it is good or bad.
Now it seems that it is definitely good for the country and the country. As for whether it is good or bad for civil servants, including military commanders, it is hard to say.
It seems that Xixia is not too harsh.
Indeed, it's not that Zhao Xi doesn't want to be ruthless, it's that he can't be ruthless.
He also wanted the defeated Xixia to cede territory for compensation, and even thought that would be the most comfortable way to do it.
But I can't. My father is seriously ill and has made Xixia anxious. There will definitely be another war... This is the easiest excuse for civil servants to use to make trouble.
Even the civil servants knew that the war with Xixia had nothing to do with my father's health, but in order to increase their presence and suppress His Highness the Crown Prince's arrogance, they would definitely connect the official's health with the war.
Zhao Xi can imagine it and already has such rhetoric.
Maybe he did it a little too harshly, but Zhao Xi saw such a memorial anyway.
Ordinarily, the Zhengshitang could suppress this kind of memorial so that he could not see it. The reason why he handed it over was probably to give him a reminder.
The words are not sharp, but every word expresses the importance of kingly benevolence and law, and explains the feedback of heaven on the emperor...
After reading a few lines, Zhao Xi understood that this dear friend wanted to say that without this Western Expedition, there would be no sick emperors.
This makes sense, and Zhao Xi also admits that it makes sense. As for how to deal with him...
If there were no such dirty things with the Political Affairs Hall, Zhao Xi wouldn't mind letting this dear friend slip out for fun, but now... he really has to let him go.
"Fu Xiang, I have read Dr. Xu's memorial. Just pretend I didn't see it. Officials, in my opinion, should pay more attention to family and national affairs. This specious, far-fetched, and forced theory should not be ignored."
It is the work of a pure scholar."
"I had the intention of letting him go to Honglu Temple, and I had the intention of letting him participate in the negotiations with Xixia...it seemed too narrow-minded, so let's let this matter go."
Isn’t it careful enough? It’s just a memorial, it’s nothing more than moaning about nothing, and you have to mention it for me to hammer and hammer. Is this considered a big-hearted thing?
His Highness is pragmatic, and Fu Bi knows this. Maybe he wanted to use this as a basis to advocate a pragmatic style in the court, right?
Have you given up? Indeed, it is really not suitable now.
"Your Highness, Xixia has sent envoys to Bianliang again. It is fifty miles north of Huanqing, twenty miles of Qinzhou, and even Gaolan City is building a military stronghold northward."
"Xi Xia has agreed to all the demands, and will pay tribute to the country and the court of 500 war horses every year. I just hope that the country and the court can stop advancing..."
It is really a relief. From the standpoint of the imperial court, what His Highness the Prince did is a relief.
Regardless of whether he was dealing with Xixia or those who rebelled against him, regardless of the term "civilian officials", everything His Highness the Crown Prince did was on a solid footing.
This is also the reason why Fu Bi is in a bit of a dilemma.
It is a common convention that civil servants and ministers should be integrated into one body, but all the methods adopted by His Highness the Crown Prince are conducive to the resurgence of the Song Dynasty.
Fu Bi really wanted to cooperate with His Highness the Crown Prince to give the entire country a new look, but he was also a member of the civil servants...~
He must mediate to ensure that His Highness and the civil servants are not incompatible, otherwise it will be a disaster for the civil servants, or in other words, for the country.
"Xiang Wen, please issue an edict and tell the border generals to stop here. Now... it is not appropriate to go to war now."
Alas...the good situation was delayed like this.
Zhao Xi knew clearly that the Xixia people were only temporarily subduing themselves, and they might bite back at some point.
