However, countless idiot fans immediately jumped out to defend Su You:

The two certificates of credence before and after the Beiting and the certificate of credence of the Dongting were recorded in history as the time when they arrived in Bianjing and were admitted to Honglu Temple.

As for major national affairs, there must have been consultations beforehand.

It can be inferred from this that the letter of credence of the Liao Dynasty should have been issued well before Dinhai Day, and the telegram sent from Hebei to Bianjing must have been far before Dinghai Day.

Therefore, the calculation cannot be based on the date of arrival of the credentials. It should be calculated from the date of issuance of the credentials, or the date of arrival in Xiongzhou.

To put it this way, the Song Dynasty's expedition to Youyun was not unethical and had no flaws. At best, it could be regarded as a "flexible handling".

Situ paid attention to rules and respected the system all his life. His letter is a clear proof that he upholds the rules and adheres to the system!

Otherwise, what kind of "authorization" did the Song Dynasty need from Liao to regain Youyun?

What a joke, that was originally the lifelong goal pursued by all the Chinese monarchs from Chai Rong of the Later Zhou Dynasty to Taizu of the Song Dynasty!

…

In December, Gengzi and Linfu opened the battlefield for the first time. Zhe Keshi defeated Xingshuai Huoshan, while the Baode, Kelan and Ninghua armies came out of Liufan Ridge and defeated Shenwu.

In Renxu, when the Northern Liao Dynasty was recruiting envoys, Xiao Guli, the city guard of Yunnei Prefecture, issued a revolt, saying that he had been a loyal minister of the Liao Kingdom for the rest of his life and would never rebel. He resolutely carried out the orders of the Second Northeastern Court and filled the city with Yunnei Prefecture.

The army and the people, as well as the tribes and tribes under the recruitment department were "returned" and were happy to welcome Zhonge and Zhongyi's army to settle in.

After the two armies passed Yunnei Prefecture, they advanced all the way and conquered Dongsheng, Hebin, Zhenwu, Feng and De Prefectures. In less than a month, the troops reached Baidaosan outside the Great Wall.

In Jiazi, Zhekeshi defeated Yelv Chun's Shuozhou Front Army in Shijie Valley and completely opened the Sanggan River channel.

At the same time, Zhong Yi defeated the reinforcements sent by Datong at Baidao Ban and broke into the Great Wall.

In the spring, the first month of the year, at the end of the Xin Dynasty, we turned eastward along the source of the Sangqian River, passing through the two important towns of Shuozhou and Heyin, and arrived at Yingzhou, the south gate of Datong Prefecture at the foot of Longshou Mountain.

The second type went eastward along the Great Wall and arrived at Jiaoshan Mountain.

The Western Army's northern and southern armies were on the verge of encircling Datong Prefecture, the capital of the "Western Liao".

In this era, there is only one possibility for the army to coordinate so carefully, and that is that the variables are extremely small, the speed is extremely fast, and the resistance is extremely weak.

Datong Mansion has an army of 70,000 from the Emperor Taishu, but since the Song army attacked, there has been almost no resistance.

Zhongyi and Zhekeshi, the middle-aged "general brothers" of the two families, have now become the backbone of the army.

The key is to be both civil and military.

Zhongyi guarded Jiuyuan, turning Hetao into a granary, racecourse, coal and iron base. The local people had no worries about food and clothing, and various tribes came to join him. Zeng Xiaokuan once praised Zhongyi: "If you win eight men, you can win two hundred thousand elite soldiers."

It is possible to expand Xi'an Prefecture to build a fort, first open three salt ponds in Huaide, Anxing, and Dingrong, and get 700,000 stones of salt per year, and then use the profits of the salt industry to support military purposes. "The people do not know how to serve", and

Military facilities have been completed.

When appointed by the imperial court, he could be the envoy of Dongshangge Gate, the defense envoy of Luozhou, the deputy envoy of Jingyuan Road, and then be promoted to the magistrate of Xi'an Prefecture and the pacification envoy.

During his seven years in the state, he achieved a lot of achievements. Not only did he achieve military and political prosperity, but he also greatly reduced the burden on the local people. He was deeply supported by the people and even had his portrait in a shrine.

The two armies have been recharging their strength since Pingxia. At this time, the two tigers are competing for food and are unstoppable.

The fire-powered cavalry force of one man and three horses could not be resisted by the Emperor of Western Liao Dynasty, but by Ding from the capital city.

Just when Lin Mansion Jiuyuan sent troops, Su You also started to take action in Hebei. According to the agreement he and Zhao Xu had made in advance, the Four-Road Transport Department would not fix the headquarters, and arrived in Bazhou to take charge.

The troops assembled at Wen'anwa, then boarded a steamer, with the inland river gunboat as the waterway forward, starting from the boundary river, following the main stream of the Sanggan River, divided into two teams, echoing each other, and headed towards Xijin Prefecture.

The other route was escorted by Long Haisheng's navy to the mouth of the Luanhe River. It followed the same routine and headed towards Bei'anzhou along the Luanhe River, preparing to outflank the retreat of the Jin Prefecture.

The commanders of the three armies are all famous generals. The commander of the Yongding River Front is Li Chunyuan, the commander of the Sangqian River Front is Cao Nan, and the commander of the Luanhe Front is Zhe Keda.

The configuration of the three men is also luxurious.

Li Chunyuan led the Tianxiong Army by himself, and was subordinated to Tian Shouzhong of the German Army, Fan Longshan of the Wuning Army, and Zhangwu Military Division.

Cao Nan led the Polu Army himself, and under him was Wei Zhao of the Jianxiong Army, and Yao Lin of the Anguo Army in the Tianping Military Division.

Zhe Keda led the Pingrong army, and under him was Yao Gu, the Chengde army, Tianyu, the Dingwu army, and Wang Hou, the Zhaode army.

Su You, on the other hand, took charge of his own affairs and commanded the general affairs department in Chaogu. Under him were three veteran generals, Su Lie of the Yongqing Army, Yao Si of the Zhenxi Army, and Wang Wenyu of the Yong'an Army, guarding the rear route.

As for the two dangerous places in Taihang, Weizhou and Yizhou in the Liao Kingdom, Su You ignored them at all and only asked Liu Fengshi to do a good job in defense, guard the Feihu Fortress, and keep an eye on the two states of Baoding.

If the strategy of Datong and Xijin is successful, the two states of Wei and Yi will show their butts. There is no need to attack the Taihang natural barrier head-on. The defenders will have to retreat to Zhuolu, otherwise they will die.

…

After the New Year in the third year of Shaosheng's reign, the court made some adjustments.

Xin Maoshuo, Shangshu saves fire. Renchen, also fire.

The imperial edict banned repeated fires, stopped the spring banquet and the Xingchi Garden, and did not use the Chuigong Hall for three days.

Cai Jingjian resigned as prime minister.

Cai Jing has achieved full political achievements in the past two years, the deepening of reforms has been completely successful, and the national finances have improved overall.

However, Zhang Dun's move together made Cai Jing feel the crisis and decided to go out to avoid the thunder.

Zhang Dun believed that as the country continued to enjoy peace, corruption would grow, so he began to prepare for the last resort of deepening reforms and ruthless government administration.

In fact, the problem of corruption in the Song Dynasty was better than that in other dynasties. Firstly, the salaries of officials in the Song Dynasty were relatively high, and high salaries had a certain effect in promoting integrity. Secondly, today's scholar-bureaucrats pay more attention to this aspect. For example, Chen Xiliang used

When ministers entertain guests with wine, they write letters of self-deprecation. Many officials leave their posts and live in ruins. This is a sign of incorruptibility.

But that doesn’t mean it’s incurable. Many departments, such as the grain shipping department, the country’s three warehouses, mining and metallurgy, as well as rivers and canals where a lot of money is handled, transportation, urban construction, and military affairs, have countless corrupt behaviors.

Zhang Tietou wants to undermine the officialdom. As Prime Minister, Cai Jing dare not say anything but do something, but he also doesn't want to take on this hot yam egg.

Another reason is the war in Liao Kingdom.

Cai Jing is not familiar with martial arts, which is his shortcoming. Now the Liao Kingdom is in a mess, almost like the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in the Central Plains. Therefore, Cai Jing is determined to avoid this chaos and let people who are familiar with military affairs come.

Sit in your own seat to avoid mishandling things and damaging your now-heavy reputation.

It happened that there were two fires in Shangshu Province, so Cai Jing hurriedly applied for leave.

Zhao Xu also really wanted to manage the civil service, so he approved Cai Jing's application, went to Nanjing as a bachelor of Guanwen Palace, promoted Zhang Dun to Zuopushe, and Youpushe appointed another lonely and loyal minister Su Yuanzhen.

Su Yuanzhen had served as a censor among the "Four Entities", and her qualifications had been sufficient for a long time. Now, her qualifications are also sufficient.

Di Wen was fired in the capital, and although he quickly controlled the situation in Dutingyi, he was also involved in the censor's attack and lost his job. He was sent by Zhao Xu to be Su You's bodyguard.

Because of the "Battle of Dutingyi", Colander was also implicated. He was impeached by Zhang Shangying and Kong Zhongwu, and lost his employment at Honglu Temple. He was still a bachelor at the Imperial Academy, a bachelor at the Hanlin Academy, a supervisor of craftsmen, and a minister of the Ministry of Works.

Continue the reconstruction of Kaifeng’s old city and the construction of Genyue New District.

Everyone knows that Colander is solely taking the blame. It is all the fault of the Liao people for being rude and causing the lovely Xiao Su Tanhua to lose her job.

Only a few big bosses knew that this was the idea given to Zhao Xu by the treacherous colander, who deliberately put the three Liao envoys together so that they could not conflict.

Then they all rushed back, thus avoiding the embarrassment of having to answer multiple-choice questions in the Song Dynasty.

In this way, the Song Dynasty could continue to wait and see the great changes, choose the opportunity to send troops, and "take charge" of Xijing and Nanjing. While launching a large-scale war of aggression, it could also hold justice in its hands.

This is the emphasis of a country of etiquette, or it may be said to be pretentious, but it is a necessary trick.

Both internally and externally, it is the basis for maximum support.

This also shows that Zhao Xu fully accepted Su You's idea of ​​"inner sage and outer king". Although Zhao Xu was still "one person in the world", he was a "one person in the world" based on "getting the most support" as the basis for his governance, not "the emperor".

"One man in the world can bleed thousands of miles with anger", which in itself is a profound change in management philosophy.

Although this phenomenon is just a kind of "consciousness" of the king on the surface, this kind of consciousness also comes from the Neo-Confucian perspective that "everyone in the world agrees with everything that is done in the world."

And this concept has gradually penetrated into the society of the Song Dynasty from top to bottom, forming a "fad". Zhao Xu's attitude is actually a manifestation of an ideological system that has preceded the management system.

Even if there may be a "reaction" to this idea in the future, and there will still be monopolies who brutally brutalize the people, but equally, because all classes have new and systematic ideological weapons, this kind of "reaction" will also inevitably occur.

The "re-reaction" will correct the deviated historical trajectory on its own.

This is the quiet change of "national temperament".

Su You doesn't think he has much ability to point out to contemporary monarchs and all strata that there is another way to go, and let them see the results and be convinced. Su You thinks that he has already exceeded his quota.

The historical mission of this time travel.
