Sitting in the courtyard and looking at the moon in the sky, Xu Ping was stunned by the moon alone.

He had already thought about how he would die if he continued like this. Even his family would wander around, and later history books gave him a comment that was overestimated and arrogant. Perhaps someone would sigh, how could a person who had been smart all over for more than ten years behave like a naughty person in such matters, or was his mind too simple.

It is said that because Xu Ping moved the foundation of the three imperial guards, they would unite and create a shocking conspiracy, which Xu Ping himself would not believe. With this ability, they had long since re-enacted the story of the Five Dynasties, and the destruction of the emperor was like a joke.

What Xu Ping had no choice was that he did not need any conspiracy, no organizational connection, or even did anything to himself consciously. The imperial guards were just dissatisfied with Xu Ping's military reform, which was enough to kill him.

As the largest city in the world, Kaifeng Prefecture has a population of 100,000 households and nearly one million people, which are officials and the people. At the same time, there are 200,000 imperial guards, because there are many fathers and sons and brothers in the imperial guards, and there are also nearly one hundred thousand households. Half of the families in the capital live by eating military rations. Xu Ping moved the jobs of these people and did not give a way out, how could he do it?

If you smash someone’s bowl, you will not be dissatisfied with you. You will not be allowed to complain a few times and scold you. How can you do it? If you dare to be so domineering, God will accept you.

The Song Dynasty collected money and grain from the world to support the army, and it was natural to serve as a soldier to eat food. It was natural to work against their jobs. No national policy and justice in the world were useless. There was no such thing in the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty. Joining the army was just to get money for food. If there was no money, it would be useless to the emperor. If you starve to death, he would watch it and ignore you.

In history, the Jin army invaded the south, and Zhao Gou fled all the way. When he was separated from the court officials and lost the halo of the country, he was like a beggar in front of his bodyguards. These guards have always followed him and have followed those who have been fed and fed in the palace. When he found the court, Zhao Gou's first thing was to cut off all these guards.

But the question is, what if you can't find someone you don't like? What if all the knives don't like?

If Xu Ping did not take the initiative, then his ending would be nothing more than death. If he died, he would not implicate his family. No one needed to organize it, because Xu Ping's policy was against the imperial guards, and the imperial guards were dissatisfied with him. The imperial guards had much more channels to influence the emperor than outside officials, including contacting people in the palace. Needless to say, Empress Cao now comes from a general and has countless relatives and old friends of the generals of the three yamen.

He vented his dissatisfaction to the emperor, and knew that Zhao Zhen could not be completely indifferent to the emotions of the person holding the knife, and always had to find a way to comfort him and find a balance between this emotion and Xu Ping. Perhaps the generals of the imperial guards just unconsciously vented their dissatisfaction, and occasionally mixed with a sentence of what to do with Xu Ping. This is not a suggestion, but many people say that this is the case and that is the case, and there is always a suitable one for Xu Ping. Maybe Xu Ping is allowed to become an official in some places, or maybe return to the capital to become an official, or even leave the front line and leave his own Longyou army. The next step is simple. Xu Ping offended the imperial guards in this way, and there are always madmen among hundreds of thousands of people, and then there are always madmen who can succeed, and slash Xu Ping's head with one knife.

At this time, the remaining 200,000 imperial guards watched. Killing this thief was so satisfying that they clapped their hands. The court wanted to cherish Xu Ping's past achievements and pursue the case relentlessly. They pressed the handle of the knife and looked at him with glaring.

On one side is a dead person, on the other side is a 200,000 army of emotions. What would you choose? It can only be left alone.

There is no need for conspiracy. It is too much to think that there is a shocking conspiracy behind any major event, and there is an evil monster. If you have the dissatisfaction of hundreds of thousands of people and have the ability to do anything to you, you will always find a dead end that suits you.

The impact of the imperial guards on the government is not on what they take the initiative, but on whether they actively obey orders or choose to watch at critical moments. Watching is an attitude. Facing hundreds of thousands of troops, no one dares not care about this attitude.

Know the attitude of the army around you, and know what they will choose to watch. For example, if someone kills you, so what if it is the emperor? The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were in the army to get money. They had to pay for money when doing things. I could choose not to charge money. Isn’t this a natural thing? Why should I protect you with my head? I think the price you gave is not enough.

Xu Ping was still influenced by his previous life concepts and believed that soldiers should defend their country and work hard, which affected some measures of his own governance. Yue Fei, in history, once believed that soldiers should "work loyally to the country", should regain lost territory, should love the people, and should fight the enemy with their own blood. When he died, hundreds of thousands of troops from the Song Dynasty showed that they did not agree with it with their own attitude. Whoever wants to die will die by themselves, and do not delay others from joining the army and taking a portion of money to support their family.

To resolve the dead end he faces, Xu Ping must not take a step back. He tried his best to avoid the three imperial guards and did not have any disputes with them, and instead took the initiative to attack and put high pressure on them. This is a familiar routine for the imperial guards. He did things gentlely and elegantly by the weak literati and weak genius with awls. Real men must dare to greet them with sticks. As long as Xu Ping takes a step back, it will be like a huge machine that starts to run, and will eventually crush Xu Ping to pieces.

Of course, the most important thing is that Xu Ping has to find a way out for nearly one million imperial guards, including their families. He will not allow them to live a better life. No matter what you say, it is false. If you have the opportunity, you should cut you down, and you should watch the handle of the knife.

Thinking of this, Xu Ping couldn't help but shake his head and smile. In this era, even his family members wanted to find jobs for millions of people, and their income and quality of life could not be lower than before. This was an epic task. The Song Dynasty's exploitation of the entire social wealth was unparalleled in all countries that had not entered the modern era, and most of this money was used to support the army. This was just a maintenance fee. If they were to be given severance payments and those who had the power of the country were given severance payments, it was an astronomical figure.

Xu Ping finally figured out why most of the reform measures of Wang Anshi in history have become means of making money. To reform, it is really impossible to have no money. If you don’t have enough money, it’s useless to spend your life in it.

Next, Xu Ping needed war to maintain high pressure on the three imperial guards. At this time, the victory of Tiandu Mountain in the battle was when Xu Ping was the most famous and had the highest prestige in the army. Once this aura was released, any strange thing could happen.

With this time, we must find a way out to accommodate the imperial guards and their families as soon as possible. It does not have to be completed in a short period of time. As long as we find a way and let the imperial guards see hope, it is success. If the imperial guards can stop joining the army and rush to run over, then that would be great. Only when this happens can Xu Ping escape unstoppable.

The Song Dynasty established a country with its army and did not give soldiers a way out reform. If they did not move them, they took away most of the resources of the country and could not fight, and were sooner or later destroyed by foreign enemies. If they moved them, they would have to double the wealth from society and save enough severance payments to them. The reforms that the Song Dynasty had to find a way out could not get out of this vicious circle.
