There are three things to worry about when a new official takes office, not to mention the new emperor's accession to the throne.
In view of the fact that when His Majesty was still the Crown Prince of the East Palace, he was constantly innovating and bringing forth various changes, not to mention that he has actually taken charge of the throne. Now, the entire court is waiting for the new emperor to take new measures one after another after he ascends the throne.
Even the entire civil servants in the court have united together and unanimously agreed that His Majesty's military ambitions must be curbed.
The result is very surprising. His Majesty has been on the throne for more than a year, and there has been no movement. Xiao followed Cao's rules, and His Majesty has not made any changes to the country's dynasty system.
What does it mean? Everyone in the court was confused.
Fu Bi had no doubts, only relief.
He knew clearly that His Majesty had truly matured. If he really showed his strength at this time, it would inevitably lead to the incompatibility between the official family and the court, even to the point of incompatibility.
Movement is worse than silence. The best thing to do at this stall is to do nothing.
Fu Bi saw clearly the tricks of his ministers and ministers, and even the minister in the Political Hall was behind them to instigate them... It was inappropriate.
When a new emperor comes to the throne, civil servants always like to show off their power, and always think of using this confrontational method to make the officials act with concern for the power of civil servants.
However, the officials did nothing but handle daily official affairs. Even the appointment of officials was mostly a reflection of the will of the political affairs hall.
Fu Bi also knew that the official family was definitely not of such a temperament. The reason for this was that there was really nothing important going on at the moment, and the most important point was that the official family had a thorough understanding of the entire court.
I just hope that the officials will not care about this, and in future measures, they will not really cause the monarch and his ministers to disagree.
Fu Bi was sixty-five years old. The reason why he stayed in the position of prime minister was not because he was greedy for power, but because he wanted to do his best to regulate the relationship between the emperor and his ministers.
The country is strong and prosperous, which has already begun to bear fruit. As long as this continues, the Song Dynasty will surely usher in a renaissance.
It is not impossible to pacify Xixia and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.
Today's imperial army has less than one million, but its combat capabilities have been greatly improved.
The number of new troops has accounted for 30% of the imperial army.
The emergence of Gongfang City greatly promoted the manufacturing industry in the country, and handicraft distribution centers similar to Gongfang City also appeared in various states and counties.
From the collection of raw materials, to the manufacturing of finished products, to circulation and trading, the entire country showed a prosperous scene.
Today's commercial tax revenue accounts for almost 70% of the country's tax revenue.
Fu Bi really couldn't bear to see this great situation come to an end.
Once the monarch and his ministers are at odds and the court is in turmoil, not to mention the internal affairs of the country, even the border defense will not remain as strong as it is today.
Therefore, Fu Bi still wanted to stay in this position, not for any reason, but purely for the hope of reviving the Song Dynasty.
He thought that the officials were young and energetic, and would probably introduce different policies after taking the throne... The results would definitely be good, but the process would definitely not be smooth.
In recent years, ministers and workers have been unable to adapt to the bureaucratic style of deliberation.
In the event of a dispute, ministers and workers would not consider it from the perspective of the resurgence of the Song Dynasty. Most of them would only worry about whether the civil servants as a group and their respective interests could be continued and protected.
Fu Bi was also very clear about the urine nature of these civil servants.
The past year or so since His Majesty ascended the throne has made Fu Bi quite at ease...
"Who is galloping in Bianliang City?"
This should be the sound of seven or eight war horses, which are already very close to the imperial city.
Han Qi had already stood up from the desk, squinting and looking outside.
Today's Bianliang garrison is a new army, and its generals are from the guard camp. The strict discipline is known to the entire dynasty.
From the city gate to the palace gate, there is such a long distance, and even if the horses are galloping, there is only one possibility... something big has happened!
Xixia? Probably not! It has only been less than two years. Although the official army personally conquered Xixia, it would not cripple Xixia, but it would not take them a year or two to recover.
Could it be Hebei? If it is Hebei, it will definitely be a big trouble.
Northern Liao is not comparable to Xixia!
The late emperor passed away recently, and there was no use of weapons for three years. It stands to reason that the Northern Liao emperor had heard that he had cried over the late emperor's great deeds, so he would not provoke a war at this juncture.
What kind of express delivery will it be?
If it weren't for the need to maintain the prestige of the political hall and avoid unnecessary panic, maybe a husband would not have gone out to see it at this time.
Everyone is solemn. Guochao needs time now, and against Shangbei Liao, there is no certainty of victory yet.
If Bei Liao did not give the country time to develop, if Bei Liao took advantage of the transition between old and new dynasties to disturb the border, if Bei Liao made demands that would humiliate the country at this time...
The current official family is not the former emperor, and they are in such a position...
"The Gao family of Dali sent troops to besiege the mining city! The Gao family of Dali sent troops to besiege the mining city!"
Hearing that the Red Ling Express was like this, the political hall relaxed for a moment... What's the big deal? It's nothing more than a dispute over property.
No! Dali is the ruling family of the Duan family, and it is also the in-laws of the Guochao Dynasty. They will never besiege the mining city at this stall without reason.
Gao? Is it possible...
"The Gao family rebelled and Dali was in civil strife. Dali has been controlled by the Gao family and sent troops to besiege the mining city..."
really……
"Dali has always had good relations with the state. It was not a gentleman's way to use military power to set up a mine in Dali. Now the mining city is besieged, which is also expected."
As soon as the messenger left, Sima Guang couldn't help but speak.
When the officials marched southward, they could just repel Annan's invasion, but they went deep into Annan's territory, forcing Annan's will to march southward and demanding a lot of goods.
Moreover, without any reason, he led his army into Dali and used the power of his troops to occupy an enclave in Dali. How is this move different from the barbarians of Liao and Xia?
At that time, Sima Guang was not in the political hall and had no right to intervene. Now he has indeed received his retribution.
There are nearly 100,000 people in the mining city, and they are besieged in the territory of another country... This is the fault of the officials.
Sima Guang's words really surprised the entire political hall.
Not to mention Fu Bi and Han Qi, even Ouyang Xiu disagreed from the bottom of his heart.
The reason why the country has been so prosperous in these years is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went south to solve the problem of copper shortage and food shortage in the country. This is the basis for the rapid development in these years.
Everyone knows that once the copper-iron mining city falls, the country will once again enter a vicious cycle.
The material demands of the country today are no longer the same as those of the time. Once the shortage of copper occurs again, it will not only collapse the court, but even the entire barter industry will collapse.
What's more, there is food.
"Investigating the amount of grain entering Bianliang in the past two months, excluding water transportation..."
"With the imperial edict, go to Gongfang City to implement the grain transportation and sales situation in the past two months..."
"The Third Secretary's Office pays close attention to the price of food in various parts of the country..."
"Organize personnel to inventory the Changping warehouse reserves of all military states in the country..."
No one picked up on Sima Guang.
Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, whether it is a gain or loss for the government, what we should do now is what measures we should take to deal with it.
After the death of the late emperor, there was no use of weapons for three years, which was why Dali suddenly launched an attack on the mining city.
Once the Gao family's rebellion is accomplished, given the importance of the mining city to the country, Gao will use the mining city to trade with the country... then the country will definitely have to admit that the Gao family is in charge of Dali.
This hand is played very well.
What the political ministers are even more worried about is that at this juncture, Annan will have contact with the Gao family.
