The real purpose of Feng Deyi's writing this letter is to know the specific interpretation and corresponding countermeasures of the core decisions of the central government on the situation in China and foreign countries in the future.

Of course, as far as the current situation in China and abroad is concerned, the third expedition can only be an assumption, which is the emotional vent of the senior management after much setbacks and humiliation, and there is no possibility of actual decision-making and execution. The reason why the senior management has disputes over the third expedition is mainly due to the political "blowing" under the deliberate guidance of some people and some factions, a targeted political temptation to prepare political public opinion for decisions that may be formulated and implemented.

The Holy Lord and the central core have not mentioned the Third Eastern Expedition in public, but some people and certain political forces have begun and prepared to actively build momentum and create conditions for the Third Eastern Expedition for the sake of personal and group interests, under the banner of the interests of Middle-earth and the country.

If Feng Deyi wants to overcome the difficulties, he must first conquer what the Holy Lord likes and please the Holy Lord. For this reason, he must figure out what the Holy Lord wants and what he wants now, and only Pei Shiju and others can give him the answer.

After reading this letter, Pei Shiju knew that Feng Deyi's political stance was undergoing a subtle change. Due to the seriousness of his own crisis, he had to make urgent changes and turn around to save himself. His stance on firmly opposing the launch of the third Eastern Expedition was relaxing.

Pei Shiju was a little disappointed and felt even more helpless.

At present, among the highest decision-making level of the palace, he opposed the launch of the third eastern expedition. The governor of the ministry, Na Yan Su Wei, also opposed it, and Xiao from the Neishi Province also opposed it. However, others either take the initiative to fight or wait and see. Overall, the opposition is relatively weak. This is also one of the reasons why the Holy Lord is stranded in Zhuo County. Once the situation is conducive to launching the third eastern expedition, he can take advantage of the greater advantage of the main fighting force in the palace and first form a decision in the center. The decision is completed, the trend has been determined.

If you have already reached the forefront, and then go back to Dongdu, even if you encounter huge obstacles and there are many oppositions, if you want to overturn the established decision and reject the main battle position of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, it is equivalent to publicly slapping them in the face and seriously damaging their authority. It is not a strategic dispute, but a political game, a political storm, and a life-and-death struggle. And this is definitely a situation that the two capitals will no longer bear after being overwhelmed by Yang Xuangan's mutiny, and the opposition forces can only compromise.

The Holy Lord's wishful thinking was good, and the Lord and Sect in the palace felt weak. At this moment, Feng Deyi, one of the core figures of the central government, suddenly had a loose position, which would inevitably have a great impact. This made Pei Shiju very depressed, and there was a strong sense of misunderstanding that the general situation was hopeless and unable to turn the world back.

But Pei Shiju can understand and understand.

Feng Deyi's way of becoming an official in the center is amazing. Political tumbler has always been rare, and there is no other reason. You are betrayal, half-hearted, despicable, and shameless, and in the end, you are terrible. Who can still use you? Therefore, all political tumbler are talented masters of power and scheming, with too high wisdom and magical skills. When you praise him, you are unwilling to accept it, but when you scold him, you have to admire him and sigh that you are not.

Pei Shiju now has this feeling. Feng Deyi's political acumen is too terrible. King Qi went north to the north and was obviously conducive to launching the third Eastern Expedition. Yu Wen Shu, who came to protect the other side, was definitely supported by Zhou Fashang's support. Pei Shiju was the key to solving the northwest crisis, and the resolution of the northwest crisis was definitely conducive to the continued development of the Eastern Expedition. Although these two measures were double-edged swords, as long as they were successful, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee urgently needed their success. The development of the situation in China and abroad would be under the control of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, and the possibility of launching the third Eastern Expedition was greatly increased. Feng Deyi seized the key to solving the current Chinese and foreign crises, and of course he could predict the direction of the future development of the general trend.

Of course, the resolution of the crisis has neither cause nor necessary relationship with the launch of the Third Eastern Expedition.

Pei Shiju actively marched westward, with the purpose of stopping the third eastern expedition. After all, compared with that when Goguryeo and the Far East were already able to surrender with diplomatic means, there was no need to use force at all. It would be better to use limited resources to manage the Western territory. Using the power of the Western Turks to divide the Western Regions equally, stabilize the Western Xinjiang, curb and weaken the northern desert, and exchange the greatest benefits at the minimum price to benefit the country and the people. This is the correct path to development. However, the contradiction between reform and conservatism has become an insurmountable obstacle. The Holy Lord and the Central Committee have to stop at the "Sunshine Avenue" and choose the "Strange Path". They are like walking on thin ice and facing the abyss. If they are not careful, they will fall into the abyss and be crushed to pieces.

Pei Shiju saw a deep crisis from it. The loosening of Feng Deyi's position means that the political trend in the palace is tilting towards the main battle, and the political "blood" of the Holy Lord is taking effect. Many waiters will make a choice after the crisis between China and foreign countries gradually improves. This choice is not optimistic, especially the enlarged political liquidation caused by the failure of Yang Xuangan's mutiny. Everyone is in danger. The danger of life and death will not only completely block the mouths of the noble bureaucrats, but also seriously deteriorate the domestic political situation. Some people are angry, some are afraid, some blindly follow, and some are sinister, and all the upper and lower parts will lose their rationality and calmness. In this terrifying situation, any incredible and absurd things may happen, let alone the third Eastern Expedition, even the war between the north and the south may start.

Pei Shiju weighed the pros and cons, and wrote a letter to Feng Deyi.

He planned to go to the northwest in person and take the initiative to take on the responsibility of resolving the northwest crisis, in order to convince the Holy Lord and the Central Committee to invest more strength in managing the Western Land. His purpose is very clear, and he insists on his established position in predicting future trends and corresponding countermeasures.

Then he told Feng Deyi that Yang Xuangan would soon be defeated, but the situation between the two capitals would be tense soon. In order to alleviate the pressure and divert the conflict, Xijing would inevitably compromise with the Holy Lord and the Central Committee. The biggest impact of this compromise was not political, but military, and military power would be more concentrated. The highest level commander of the Guardian Palace would be occupied by the pro-war faction loyal and support the Holy Lord. The result was self-evident.

As for the reason, there is no need for Pei Shiju to elaborate on it, just give it a tip.

The conservative forces with Xijing as the base camp and the reformers with Dongdu as the base camp have fought to this day. They are both sides and basically breaking. Even if they barely compromise, they are not to fight again to lick their wounds, but are bound by external factors and are attacked from both sides. One is trapped in the northwest crisis, the other suffers severe setbacks on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition, and they have to quit the battle. Next, the other goes to passive defense to ensure that the fundamental interests are not lost. The other continues to fight in the eastward expedition and even engages in the north-south war to reverse their political and military failures and stabilize their ruling position. In this way, the bottom line of compromise is that everyone does their own things, Xijing actually controls the Northwest Army, while Dongdu wins the Guard Palace. The Holy Lord and the Central Committee can control the military power without being hindered from then on.

Pei Shiju did not mention the King of Qi at all. His meaning was very straightforward. King of Qi went north and would definitely affect the relationship between the north and the south, but it would not affect the future decision of the central government. What directly affected the future decision of the central government was how much compromise Xijing had on the east this time.

Pei Shiju had a great influence on Xijing. This time, he did not pass through Xijing and rushed to Xiguo directly from Lingwu to resolve the northwest crisis from the root, nominally resolving the conflict between Zhongtu and Western Turks, and actually mediating between the two capitals. Pei Shiju was just Xijing, which was to give Xijing a clear hint that although the Holy Lord and the Central Government would not admit their mistakes in the Western Capital strategy, they would not blame all the responsibility to Xijing. At most, they would act as if they were held accountable. The thunder and raindrops were loud and the rain was light, and the Holy Lord and the Central Government would immediately adjust the Western Capital strategy and provide appropriate resource support.

Of course, the premise is that after Xijing correctly interpreted Pei Shiju's hint and knew that Dongdu had prepared for compromise, he must cooperate tacitly, take the lead, take the initiative, and actively compromise with Dongdu, give enough face to the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, safeguard the authority of the Central Committee, and then take the needs of each. The Central Committee can save some power in Xijing to reduce the numerous obstacles encountered by the reformists in the court.

In this political exchange, Xijing took a lot of advantages and gained a lot of benefits. Xijing took the Northwest crisis to threaten the central government, so Xijing had no reason to refuse. Of course, Dongdu did not suffer any loss. Although the control of the Holy Lord and the Central Government over Xijing was weakened, the central authority was consolidated and strengthened, and the reform party's control over the national affairs was stronger. As long as the situation in China and abroad is stable in the future, the reform process will inevitably accelerate, and this is exactly what the Holy Lord and the Central Government hope to see.

That night, Feng Deyi received a reply from Pei Shiju in anxiety.

After reading every word and sentence carefully, Feng Deyi couldn't help but secretly applaud. Pei Shiju is not only superb in strategy, but also has a high perspective and far-sighted vision. He focuses on the next ten years. Twenty years later, even Feng Deyi feels inferior to this talent.

After reading the second time, carefully considering the words and thinking repeatedly, Feng Deyi's mood became low. Pei Shiju went west and mediated in the middle to ease the struggle. It seemed that the crisis had been temporarily resolved, but in fact it opened the curtain of the two capitals' breakup. The breakup of the two capitals means that the country's destiny and the Central Plains are in danger of division and war again.

Xijing confronts the central government, the central government retreats, and Xijing becomes bigger. This impact is too bad. Other local forces will quickly follow up and imitate. The central government is gradually declining, and the ministers are strong and the king is weak. What are the consequences?

Pei Shiju has no way to solve the crisis in front of him. He can delay the outbreak of the crisis, so he is very pessimistic about the future. Since the future is very pessimistic, is it still worth looking forward to whether it is the third Eastern Expedition or the North-South War? And is this the reason why he doesn't mention the King of Qi or the relationship between the Eastern Expedition and the North-South?

Feng Deyi studied this letter for the third time, and it was extremely slow. Pei Shiju told him a lot of information about the future, but what could help Feng Deyi and what was useless to Feng Deyi, but he needed to identify it himself.
