And the reasons given by those people are also extremely sufficient.
That is, in the process of suppressing bandits one after another, the imperial court not only failed to achieve any results, but even spent a lot of money and food as a result.
In terms of troop consumption, there have also been several extremely ugly figures.
If we can in the next period of time, while speaking out words to appease the bandits in Liangshan, and at the same time vigorously expand the number of soldiers to cope with the next year's move to join the Jin Dynasty to fight against the Liao Dynasty, then that is the most important thing to do at the moment.
If it were Wu Zhi in the past, after hearing these remarks, his reaction would have been mainly disdain, supplemented by secret joy in his heart.
After all, Wu Zhi didn't want to fight a civil war in this situation.
Moreover, at the moment, there are countries such as Dajin and Daliao that are watching with eager eyes.
If the civil war continues, I am afraid that before the measures to unite the Jin and the Liao Dynasty are officially implemented next year, their entire family fortune in the Song Dynasty will be wiped out.
But now Wu Zhi's heart is a little more careless than before.
The reason was because of what Su Yuanjing said to Wu Zhi before he left Liangshan this time.
"Brother, do you know why every time a war comes, the imperial court will without exception be divided into two camps: the main battle and the main alliance?"
"That's because many ministers in the court often put their own interests ahead of the national interests when thinking about strategies to retreat from the enemy."
"The faction that is leading the alliance, it seems, will come forward to play a game of interests with the enemy leaders after the peace talks, and then demonstrate their capabilities, so as to be more valued by the officials."
"But in addition, the peace talks will also greatly reduce the court's military expenditures, and the remaining money and food will eventually flow into the pockets of those officials who advocate peace talks."
"It is precisely because the peace talks are closely related to the self-interests of those officials that they will fight hard on this matter."
"They appear to be a group of civil servants who serve the country and the people, but in fact, they are just a group of selfish villains."
"Relatively speaking, the thoughts of those generals are much simpler than those of civil servants."
"It's nothing more than wanting to demonstrate their own importance through continuous battles."
"Of course, it is their duty to defend the homeland against foreign enemies, so there is no problem with their main battle proposal."
"What's more, in an environment like ours that values civility and restrains military force, if those generals don't strive for combat opportunities in every court meeting and show their own value on the battlefield."
"Maybe within a few years, the entire military attaché system will collapse."
"If that time comes, when foreign enemies invade, who will really suffer?"
"So in my opinion, the reason why those generals strive for the opportunity to fight in the court."
"Rather than fighting for the interests of the military general group, it is more appropriate to say that they want to survive in this environment that values civility and restrains military force."
Regarding the current situation in the Great Song Dynasty, Wu Zhi himself was helpless.
Because the seeds of all this were sown by Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty.
As of today, it can be considered a complete flowering.
As a result, in the current court, those military attaches who have been suppressed have almost no room for survival.
The direct result that followed was that the power of the Wenchen Group was increasing day by day.
And that official Zhao Ji was also a typical literary emperor.
It can be said that apart from being incompetent in governing the country, he is proficient in other things such as calligraphy, painting, and eccentric techniques.
These partial hobbies of his have led him to be extremely willing to appoint officials who have the same bad taste as him.
Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, Tong Guan and others were appointed in this way.
If you are a mortal who does not control the world's major affairs, it would be nothing to do this.
At most, it would only harm himself.
But what Zhao Ji did was not only harming himself.
Even the next emperor, the concubines in the harem, his children, hundreds of ministers, and countless common people were all tricked.
And this scene was vividly displayed in the Jingkang scandal a few years later.
As for the culprit Zhao Ji?
His final fate was not much better.
It was even worse than the other royal relatives who were captured in the Jin Army camp.
It can be said that there is no peace after death.
After Zhao Ji was captured by the Jin people, the Jin people not only tortured him in various ways, but also gave him the title of Duke of Hunde.
In the end, he died of illness in the Five Kingdoms City due to cold.
But the temperament of those golden people is completely the kind that they can't hold back their anger when they see a coward, and they won't give up until they bully you to death.
When he saw that Zhao Ji was dead, he immediately thought of another 'good way' to torment him.
The Jin people first burned Zhao Ji's body on the stone slab.
After it was half burned, put it out with water.
After doing this several times, it was finally made into an imperial oil lamp that could be illuminated by the Jin people.
The model of benevolence that burns oneself and illuminates others belongs to you.
Regarding the final result of this court meeting, there is no doubt that the Wenchen Group won again.
The leaders of the military commander group are also the only two military commanders, Zhong Shidao and Zhong Shizhong's two brothers.
After looking at each other and smiling bitterly, they walked out of the Golden Palace with a slightly stooped body.
yes.
These two old generals are also in their early fifties.
Even if they wanted to walk out of here with their heads held high, they couldn't.
The civil servant group headed by Taishi Cai Jing, Taiwei Gao Qiu, Privy Councilor Tong Guan and others still stood firmly in the court.
Even though the official Zhao Ji had left at this time, there was no need for them, the civil servants, to stay here any longer.
But they still want to use this method to shame those two old guys who don't know their own abilities.
When communicating with each other, there was all kinds of disdain for the two old generals.
At this time, Wu Zhi stood aside blankly, like a bystander, watching everything in front of him.
Vaguely, he seemed to remember a sentence.
A sentence that appeared in a very classic funny romance movie in his previous life.
Look, that person looks like a dog.
…
After this court meeting, Wu Zhi's worries disappeared.
In recent days, due to spending most of his time fighting, his nerves have become very tense.
Wu Zhi's method of relaxing his spirit is also quite unique, that is...
