Before there was a mining city in Dali, the entire court was regarded as a barbaric land. In addition, the previous dynasty declined due to Nanzhao, so the court never paid much attention to Dali.
Since the creation of the mining city, the importance of Dali, or the importance of the mining city, has been well known.
But Mining City is an enclave, and it is definitely controlled by others.
If Dali is really captured, it means that all the profits from the mining city will belong to the country.
What the officials were thinking and all their previous actions were clear at this moment.
Indeed, at this time, it is really necessary to shut up a gentleman like Sima Junshi, who pursues the sage and kingly way.
Next it’s time to consider how to do this.
As for the doctrine of sages and kings, not to mention Han Qi and Wen Yanbo, even Fu Bi knew that it was just rhetoric and needed to be explained.
There is a saying among the officials that the state has no obligation to restore the country for the Duan family. There must be sufficient reasons to attack the Gao family.
Suddenly everyone understood, and understood the reason why the officials still did not take advantage of the situation to send troops despite the heated public sentiment.
This is not because the officials have changed their temper, but it is not the time yet.
As for Sima Junshi, the officials did not intend to demote him, but they specifically asked him to take the blame so that he could shut up and clear the way for the court to decide on sending troops.
As for the so-called confidentiality law...it's just following the trend.
The pattern determines the breadth of the plan. It must be said that the official plan is impeccable.
When the civil strife began in Dali, the imperial court sent troops to quell the civil strife on behalf of the Duan family.
At that time, the officials lightly talked about sending troops, knowing that they would be stopped. The reason was the same as the Gao family's uprising. After all, it was a time when the country was observing filial piety.
To quell the civil strife on behalf of the Duan clan, that is, the vassal state of Dali, was to a certain extent a proactive military attack.
Even if the Gao family besieged the mining city, it actually did not cause any harm to the country.
As the Gao family's rebellion progressed, until the Duan family's royal power was overthrown, and the Gao family came to the throne. The imperial dynasty stood still, which seemed to be sending a message to the Gao family... The imperial dynasty was still the same dynasty as before, and it still followed the three-year rule of not moving.
Examples of military affairs.
Then, it is possible to make Gao's arrogance even more arrogant, which is also the purpose of Annan and Chen Bing's test.
If the Duan family escapes at this time and is taken in by the mining city, it will give the Gao family a reason to attack the mining city, and it will also give Annan the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. At the same time, it will really cause the country to suffer losses on the surface, and the country will also suffer.
There is a moral right to send troops.
The courtiers discussed that Sima's resignation was all because of whether to send troops to Dali, but it was not entirely because of this.
At this time, the officials promptly issued a confidentiality order, and Sima Junshi was forced to go home to stay. This was all by the way.
This... while I was sorting out the official's plan at this time, I realized that the entire court's reaction was to cooperate with the official's step-by-step advancement.
"The Duan royal family really fled into the mining city!"
Fu Bi looked at the urgent memorial from the Chengdu Prefecture... All the plots were proceeding according to the official arrangement.
"Prime Minister, if the official family really intends to stay out of the matter and has no intention of launching an army, and the mining city refuses to accept the Duan family, is it possible for the Duan family to enter the mining city?"
"I even thought that it was the guards of the mining city who rescued the Duan royal family to the mining city. How far is it from Baa City to Dongchuan? Along the way, we pass through the traditional sphere of influence of the Gao family. With the ability of the Duan royal family, it is possible to reach Dongchuan.
Sichuan?"
"Even the 200-strong new army with full equipment cannot protect the royal family on a long-distance attack, let alone the Dali royal family."
"At the same time, don't forget who are the guards of the mining city. They are the original soldiers of the imperial dynasty. Are they trained with a full set of official concepts, or are they equipped with a full set of new army equipment."
"I even think that when the Guan family was still the prince, during the Southern Expedition and when they were planning to build the mining city, the Guan family was already planning to convert Dali back to its native land!"
The more Han Qi analyzed it, the more he felt that this possibility existed. If so, the official family would be amazing!
This feeling was not just for him, Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo, etc., but everyone in Zhengshi Hall had an appalling feeling.
Monster! This is the embodiment of monster.
For such an official family, the revival of the Song Dynasty is absolutely certain, but it may not be a good thing for the ministers...
Although not all of them will be played and applauded, if they want to act against the orders of the officials, they may really be played.
Fortunately, officials are not retaliatory and always put the overall situation first.
Just from the handling of Sima Junshi's affairs, we can see that the official family still has the capacity to accommodate people.
In view of the familiarity with the official family, Zhengshitang is already very cautious, and it seems that more caution is necessary.
The person who felt the deepest impression here was probably Wen Yanbo.
Now that I think about it, when the Bianliang Forbidden Army was dismantled and merged, everything was probably under the control of the officials. Even all of Wen Yanbo's thoughts were well known to the officials.
"Let's prepare for sending troops..."
Indeed, the political hall at this time seems to be just for the housekeeper to check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps.
They are all elites, but they have to truly take on the responsibility of assisting the officials in running the country.
Originally, the civil servants of the Song Dynasty wanted the emperor to rule from the top, and did not agree that the governor only played a supporting role. Now, I am afraid that they have really returned to their original duties.
The Guan family is not the former emperor, but an existence comparable to Taizu and Taizong. No emperor throughout the ages has been influenced by his courtiers. In fact, the Guan family should have realized this when they were young.
"Arrange the soldiers and generals. If you expose the dynasty's intentions so early, I wonder if Gao or Annan will be aware of it?"
"Since the secrecy decree has been promulgated, it must be strictly enforced! It is time to rectify the leaky meetings of the state and court. Let's set an example this time."
Obviously, the political hall has reached an agreement with the auxiliary officials. At least on this matter, there is no reason for confrontation.
"Who should be the coach? Civil or military?"
"Prime Minister Fu, this is wrong. How can a country use soldiers as commanders? Isn't this..."
This was a casual remark, but after the words were spoken, Han Qi stopped.
Looking back at the government's behavior over the years, I'm really not sure that the government will continue to follow this point.
Fu Bi looked at Han Qi, Han Qi looked at Wen Yanbo, and Wen Yanbo looked back again. The three mainstays of the dynasty just looked at each other.
There was a moment of silence...
"No matter what, we must never give in on this point. This time we may be able to defeat Dali easily, and precisely because there is a possibility of being defeated easily, we cannot give up the coach to the general!"
"I agree with what Prime Minister Han said! Prime Minister Fu, these years the mining city has been floating outside the court, and it is also in the land of Dali. Once the military commander takes charge, there are too many uncertainties in this matter. Even if this matter disobeys the official, I will wait Don’t give in!”
I really don't want to confront the officials, but on the issue of the difference between civil and military affairs, I really can't give in.
Fu Bi originally wanted to reach a consensus on this issue in the political hall... He was really worried that when officials used troops, they would directly abandon the old tradition of civil servants as commanders.
Even though he knew in his heart that coach Wenchen had too many obstacles, he still couldn't give up on this.
