The Liao envoy returned to resume his duties, and the Song Dynasty agreed to sign a treaty at Baishan Mountain, so that he could return to resume his duties.
As for the specific time, how both sides will jointly deploy Dachuan Ridge, and the determination of the boundary line, etc., these are all matters for the negotiation team next.
That's the thing. Before the two kings reach an agreement on signing a covenant, the negotiation teams of both sides will not have contact. Only when the two kings gain an understanding can the negotiation be promoted, and only then will it be necessary to negotiate in all aspects of the details.
Next is the matter of Han Qi leading the delegation.
As for the courtiers who asked the court to think twice about the place where Bai Shanshan signed the contract, no one mentioned it again the moment the court replied to the Liao envoy... Just express your concern for state affairs appropriately, there is no need to fight with the court. Everyone understands that this is
The officials and the government have unanimously agreed, so why bother with that?
Besides, the officials’ plans for a three-level decision-making system have been leaked out intentionally or unintentionally by their husbands...
The ruling cabinet of the imperial court consists of three levels. Each level has its own functions and each level has its own rights. Moreover, this is a very wide-ranging reform of the official system, including job titles, dispatches, official positions, salaries, etc.
reform.
Everyone wants to get what they want in this reform. It is really unnecessary to go against the officials and husband at this time.
I heard that even Sima Guang and Ouyang Xiu privately expressed their annoyance at leaving the political hall. It was even said that those who had been demoted were busy trying to return to the court before the reform.
At this time, who has nothing to do to arouse the impatience of the political hall and the officials?
The official reform plan approved by both the political hall and the government must be implemented, just like the unanimous agreement to sign an alliance with Bei Liao at Baishan Mountain.
"The stability of the four states is not optimistic!"
This is already Han Qi's second memorial, describing in detail the dilemma of governance in the four states.
Fu Bi had a toothache just looking at him.
"We are of the same race and culture, and Master Wang went north to recover, so how could such a situation happen?"
Wang Anshi didn't have a problem with Han Qi... maybe. When he questioned Han Qi's memorial, he really felt that Han Zhigui was a bit alarmist.
The last memorial was shelved temporarily because the Zhengshitang did not have a unified opinion and the imperial court was still at odds with the Northern Liao Dynasty.
I hope that time can change the situation, but unfortunately the time is too short.
The last time the officials expressed their opinion on the political affairs hall, they could not deny it. Now Han Zhigui once again petitioned... The court had reached the point where it had to give its opinion.
"Let's meet with the Holy Spirit to discuss the matter."
Regarding Wang Anshi's statement, most of the ministers agreed and believed that the situation reported by Han Qi should not occur.
I just don’t know what the officials think.
So cruel! Zhao Xi looked at Han Qi's memorial and had to accept Han's cruelty.
Last time, I told the facts, and the wording was relatively mild. This time, I still told the facts, but Han Qi's irritability could be felt in the wording, which was almost to the point of irritability.
Thinking about it, Wang Shi went north to recover, which was to save the people of the Four Prefectures from fire and water. As a result, the people of the Four Prefectures who were originally quite docile when they were ruled by Bei Liao, during the period after Wang Shi's recovery, did not sneak attack on a fallen place today.
Shan's soldier is going to set fire to the government office tomorrow...~If I beat you, it won't hurt you, I'll make you sick!
Even the soldiers of the New Army who were not injured on the battlefield were repeatedly injured during the defense of Anjing City. Not to mention the civilian officials.
Han Qi's memorial stated that among the civil servants in the four states, nearly 20% of them are unable to undertake official duties!
I can’t blame Old Han for being cruel, it’s indeed a bit much, and Old Han has a bad temper, so it’s good to be able to endure it till now.
In fact, the most appropriate time to implement military control at this time is to sweep away the scattered rangers and set up border defense lines. Too many troops have been taken up, and it is impossible to arrange soldiers according to the standards of military control.
Quite difficult!
"What do you think, sir?"
Zhao Xi didn't want to just agree to Han Qi and open the door to kill people. It wasn't just Han Qi who took the blame, he and the entire court would be cursed. After all, they were civilians, and it was different from killing enemies on the battlefield.
.
Besides, if the comfort of the people of these four states cannot be properly handled, the recovery of the sixteen states of Yanyun will encounter greater resistance in the future.
"It is definitely not advisable to kill people blindly, but you can move people into the customs as slaves... This is not a hundred or two hundred people, and it is not easy."
Saying it is equivalent to saying nothing. It seems that Zhengshitang really doesn't know how to deal with it.
"In the official family, it is said that the majority of Yunying's four states are Han people, of the same race and species, so this situation should never happen."
Wang Anshi still doubts the authenticity of Han Qi's memorial.
"Xiang Wang, what Han Zhigui said is not false. The Northern Liao Dynasty ruled the four states for more than a hundred years, and the Northern Liao court's rule over the Han Dynasty was relatively loose."
"Except for the Khitan nobles, the Han people still have good treatment in the Northern Liao compared with the Jurchens and Uighurs."
"From the Han family in the Northern Liao Dynasty to the Han people Lin Ya in Xijing, Nanjing, and even Zhongjing, we can see that there is not much difference between the Han people in the Northern Liao Dynasty and the Han Dynasty."
"You can join the army, you can take exams, and the official positions are no different from those of the Khitan people. Not only the four Yunying prefectures, but the people of the entire Yanyun sixteen prefectures have already identified with Bei Liao...~"
It's very helpless, but that's the fact. It's either that the husbands can't figure it out, or they don't want to admit it.
The mentality of the orthodox dynasty caused them to avoid this fact from the bottom of their hearts.
"If China has barbarians and Di, then the barbarians will conquer it; if the barbarians come to China, then China will conquer them. Use barbarians to control barbarians..."
Zhao Xi wondered if Han Yu would jump out of the coffin because he tampered with these words...
"Let Xianggong Han select some officials from the captives, which are Han civil officials who originally belonged to the four states of Yunying. Release their relatives, return their property, and grant them high-ranking officials and rights."
"These people know the situation best in the four states of Yunying, and they also know how to get started. Let them take charge, even if it is public revenge, it doesn't matter. Give them power, and it is up to them to use power for personal gain..."
Fortresses are easiest to breach from the inside.
Whether it is killing chickens to scare monkeys or demoting people into slaves, the result will only deepen the conflicts and make the people of Yunying four states share the same hatred.
This is very detrimental to stability and future governance.
"Officials, this method can be used for a while, but it will not be beneficial to the future governance of the four states of Yunying! If you can rebel at this time, your character cannot be flattered, and it is okay to say that you are a traitor."
Han Jiang was still honest. When no one tried to dissuade him, he couldn't hold back his voice. You see, Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo, and even Wang Anshi didn't say anything.
Pulling them out to borrow at this time does not mean that they will always and forever be used.
It is already very clear that it is allowed to avenge private revenge, allowed to use power for personal gain, and even let them go to pieces...
Not to mention that the imperial court would eventually find trouble and kick them aside, allowing them to act as they pleased for a period of time. Even the people of Yunying Four Prefectures would transfer their hatred to them.
At that time, the court only needs to be a judge...
It's just a transfer of conflicts. There's no need to make things bloody, and there's no need for the court to take the blame.
