Zhao Zhen couldn't sleep at night, and sat or stood in Tianzhang Pavilion, with a serious expression, as if he was carrying a heavy burden.

On the table is Xu Ping's memorial. Zhao Zhen has never seen Xu Ping submit such memorials for so many years. The most important one is Xu Ping's handwritten "The Memorial to the Army". As an emperor, although Zhao Zhen did not know that a general commanded the army a hundred years later, he also liked to write "The Memorial to the Army", he knew the meaning of Xu Ping's doing so.

The ministers and great scholars shouted every day to take over Han Yu's flag and wanted to cut off the culture after the fall of the Han Dynasty. How could it not affect the military policy? Zhuge Liang's identity was precisely the last great man who was capable, courageous and loyal to the Han Dynasty. His life was to win over the heavens and extend the Han Dynasty, and he devoted himself to the end of his death. The most important thing in his life was to lead the army to the northern expedition.

Yue Fei was just going to fight the Northern Expedition, and the political significance of writing "The Memorial of the Departure" was not obvious. Now Xu Ping was in charge of the army in the northwest with civil officials, using the soldiers of Sichuan and Shu to do the work of Prime Minister Zhuge. Now he wrote a copy of "The Memorial of the Departure" by hand, and the meaning expressed was very obvious. Zhao Zhen did not do anything else in his life, but he was good at being an emperor, so how could he not understand it?

Once you understand, Zhao Zhen has to make a choice. This choice is not easy to make. Xu Ping feels that it is difficult and dangerous, but Zhao Zhen is still out of it.

If this was made during the Taizu's time, Taizu would think it was nonsense. When it was during the Taizu, Taizu would feel hesitant and difficult to decide. When it was during the Zhenzong, he would wait and see. When it was Zhao Zhen's time, the direction he chose had actually come out, but it was difficult to make up his mind. The conditions were not yet mature and the solution had not been found, so this determination was not easy to make.

People like Chongwen and Zhao Zhen, who wanted to succeed the throne, received the best education since childhood. Since they became sensible, they have been selected by civil officials and scholars, and their value orientation was determined. However, the Song Dynasty established a country with military forces, and those who supported Taizu at that time had to pay merit. Several generals could release military power with a cup of wine. They made it clear that whether they were in the army to fight or to be high-ranking officials in the court, they were just for money and wealth, and just give it to them.

It is common for the Five Dynasties to abolish and establish the founding of the Five Dynasties. It cannot be compared with other dynasties. If the generals are pacified, the soldiers must be raised. It was fine when the country was first established, but there were so many soldiers. After destroying various countries, it was so much more money, land, and population. It was easy to raise them. However, as time passed, the imperial guards raised were less and less unable to fight, and the financial resources were spent, and the country was no longer able to do so.

Raising soldiers was a last resort. In the eyes of Emperor Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty to Emperor Shenzong, it was best to solve this problem and re-establish the national system. The real attempt to do it was to start with Renzong in history, but he just stopped it.

The civil officials of the Song Dynasty had a strong tendency to sinicize, and re-sustaining the Han Dynasty was a value pursuit. The hand-recording the military generals of the army and military commanders was a political expression, and the popularity of the people in the folk showed a position of the general public. Respecting Liu and suppressing Cao was a pity for the Shu Han that had not yet achieved the Han Dynasty. The remarks of civil officials, such as Wen Yanbo in history, saying to Shenzong that "the emperor and the scholars and officials ruled the world together" were all part of this value system.

If you use another explanation outside of the class standpoint to rule the world with the scholars and officials, you will follow the Han Dynasty. Of course, it is not that Wen Yanbo did not have the component of the class standpoint when he said this, but that he did not consciously emphasize the class standpoint. People at that time did not have this kind of class consciousness, but that he consciously used this sentence to express his political attitude.

After Liu Bang, the Emperor Taizu of Han, pacified the world, he issued an edict to seek talents in the eleventh year of Emperor Gao: "Now I use the spirit of heaven, and the wise and the wise and the officials must have the world, and I think it is a family, and I want them to be in charge of the ancestral temples for a long time. The wise and the wise and the wise and the officials have been pacified and not arranged with me. Is it okay? If there are those who are willing to follow me, I can respect and show them." The next year, he also informed the world: "With the tyrants and wise and the officials in the world, and make them settle together."

The Song people did not have class consciousness in later generations, and even if they expressed their class position, they did it without intention. It was impossible to use this kind of words in that era to express how clear the landlord class knew their own class position. If they had this consciousness, it would be scary. Wen Yanbo used this sentence to express his political stance to the Emperor Shenzong. The heroes in the world had disappeared with the demise of aristocratic families. So the words of pursuing the Han Taizu are now to rule the world with the scholars and officials, agree or disagree? The civil servants want to continue the Han Dynasty, agree or disagree?

From Renzong to Shenzong, their actions have already shown their position, but they have not found a suitable means.

For Zhao Zhen, the difficulty of him was not whether he could stand on Xu Ping's side, but was worried that Xu Ping could do it? If Xu Ping just boasted and couldn't do it, then the final result was something that Zhao Zhen could not accept. Not to mention his own life and death, even if he failed, Zhao Zhen might still be an emperor, but he would be forced to take another position. The world would enter the chaotic times of the Five Dynasties, and the Song Dynasty would become another short-lived dynasty with a larger territory.

The civil servant group wanted to continue the Han Dynasty, and the scholars and great scholars wanted to continue the Daotong of the Han Dynasty. This was a big direction. But within them, what was the Han Dynasty like? Who was the orthodox of the Daotong that was continued? They fought for a mess first, and sometimes they could make the dog's brains come out. The first thing the emperor had to consider was long-term stability. The more the civil servants fought for, the more discouraged the emperor was.

At this time, Xu Ping had not yet unified the world within the civil service group, so it was difficult for Zhao Zhen to express his opinion. However, in addition to making public statements, there was also an attitude called silence, and what Xu Ping needed was Zhao Zhen's silence.

Zhao Zhen walked to the desk and carefully read Xu Ping's memorial.

The "Memorial of the Departure" written by Xu Ping is naturally not posted. This is a statement to Zhao Zhen, and there is no need to let outsiders know.

The army of Qin Feng, Jingyuan and Huanqing were ruled out of Xiaoguan and destroyed Dangxiang. They fought with the Khitan army that wanted to mediate the war between the Song Dynasty and Dangxiang at Wuyuan City, and could be handed over to the Privy Council. If they agreed to Xu Ping's doing this, the civil servants made their own decisions.

Because of the great victory on the front line of Tiandu Mountain and the imperial court rewarded generously, the capital and the imperial guards in Hebei did not have this opportunity, and they were inevitably disappointed and even felt resentful. Xu Ping suggested that Zhao Zhen celebrate the merits in the capital, take this opportunity to give the entire army and give favors to all officials. In the same sentence, we should not deliberately find a bad person in the torrent of history, and we should destroy the imperial guards, but we should not be mean to the soldiers of the imperial guards. Zhao Zhen praised this memorial most and would show all the ministers. Xu Ping was easy to do such a measure, and he was easy to do.

To completely deny the Khitan's proposal to negotiate peace with Dangxiang. If the Khitan uses military threats, it is clear that the army that destroyed Dangxiang will fight at the foot of Yinshan Mountain. It is a principle of military struggle that does not have to fight against the enemy on the battlefield chosen by the enemy. However, the Khitan may not be able to recognize this. Even if it realizes it, it may not be able to resist being provoked by the Song Dynasty. It is possible to resist fighting on the battlefield that is beneficial to them. Sang Yi and Gao Daquan can fight against both the armies of Sang Yi and Gao Daquan. This incident made Zhao Zhen hesitate for a long time and defeated Dangxiang and Khitan, which made him yearn for great desperation and frightened. In the end, he decided to give it to the Privy Council and Zhengtang for a discussion, and the result would be decided by them.

Only at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, the Wuyuan City of Qin and Han Dynasties won a great victory against the Khitan, can the actions against the Imperial Army be calmly carried out. The Longyou Army was powerful and shocked the sword in their hands, and defeated the Khitan and defeated them. They could use their foreign enemies to extort their hearts. They could understand that the army with thorough Han culture is the most powerful army in the world, and they naturally did not dare to persist in anti-Sinicization. 8)
