For example, the Ministry of Works plans to repair an official road between several prefectures this year. Fools know that the official road is of course the best place to surround a few places on their own territory, but the Ministry of Revenue has allocated so much money. The Ministry of Works received an order to repair the five hundred miles of official road. Among the several prefectures, who is more or less, and how to allocate it? Which time is not a big deal?

For example, a flood occurred in a certain province, spreading several prefectures and counties. This prefecture and county must need to support disaster relief. The court ordered the Ministry of Revenue to allocate part of the funding, and several brother prefectures and counties in the province raised some of the funds themselves. So how can the part raised by themselves be distributed? Whoever makes more money and who makes less?

These are almost all contradictions between the central and local governments.

The core of the contradiction lies in inconsistent interests.

For the imperial court, the core starting point of any policy is to look at the overall situation of the country and make overall arrangements. Some places suffer losses and take advantage of some places. These are inevitable things, but for local officials, such gains and losses will be directly reflected in their own political achievements.

Even if this official doesn't want to be promoted, he doesn't care about the evaluation of the Ministry of Personnel, which local official has a mixed force entanglement in the local area? The landlords, family members, and gentry clans, these forces are entangled with each other, forming an extremely huge interest group. The court's orders may harm the interests of these interest groups. So, is the officials in charge of the local government committed to implementing the court's orders for the public, or are they more concerned about the feelings between sworn brothers who usually call brothers?

Perhaps he was determined to be the public and insisted on implementing the orders of the court, but once he did this, the official would find that his decrees could hardly be with him locally because his decrees also needed to be implemented by his subordinates. Once those subordinates chose to "get close to sworn brothers who usually call him brothers", he would be completely emptied, and then followed by a snowflake-like impeachment. The final outcome was that he was transferred with a strong background. Most people would be beaten to the end, or simply be imprisoned.

The confrontation between the court and the local government must be reflected in many aspects, and this situation is not unusual in every dynasty. It can even be said that it has always happened, just depends on the strength of this confrontation.

The central government is weak and the local government is strong, and the central government is strong and the local government is weak. However, the confrontation between each other has always existed and has never disappeared.

This kind of struggle is even more trouble than Zhao Xuanji to some extent, and makes Li Chen even more trouble.

But for Li Chen, the real urgent matter now is the issue of the vassal kings.

Once the news of King Ning's death spread, it would inevitably be a siege of the vassal kings.

These princes will not be willing to surrender.

So Zhao Xuanji had the opportunity to be the king.

It can be said that Zhao Xuanji's title of king is an important sign for Li Chen to transform his main opponent from Zhao Xuanji to a vassal king, and it is also one of the most important "combination punches".

Therefore, at this critical moment, Li Chen and Zhao Xuanji can be said to have turned enemies into friends.

There are no eternal enemies in the political arena.

Zhao Xuanji clearly felt the meaning expressed by Li Chen.
