Chapter 577 Summary

Zhao Xu said: "Say it."

Su You said sternly: "In this battle, Gyeongju Governor Li Bogyu's military reports were very contradictory, and his actions were also very contradictory."

"Previously, it was reported that the Xia people were only a few thousand, and they had been sent to pacify them. Later, it was said that the generals were not afraid of fighting, so they were killed to stabilize the army's morale. Later, it was said that the troops were sent to destroy three Xia strongholds and kill a thousand enemies.

But then he said that Xia's army was in great power and asked the court for support."

"Now the intelligence has become clear. The Xia Army Liang Yongneng's troops clearly have a strength of 30,000! Li Fugui was obviously greedy for power before, and then killed generals to cover up. Then he killed good people and took credit, and then stirred up side troubles in an attempt to cover up his previous crimes! Until

Things got out of hand, so I just appealed to the court!"

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to send an envoy to accompany me to investigate this matter together with me. If he is illegal, he will be beheaded in front of the army to comfort the soul of the unjust death festival and to encourage the hatred of the same enemy!"

Zhao Xu was a little surprised: "After the emissary passed away..."

Su You said: "I am young and clumsy, and my behavior may be bad, so I need supervision and reminder. After the internal envoy has completed his duties, I will ask him to be the supervisor of the army!"

"Yes!" Zhao Xu didn't even hesitate. He was even afraid that Wang Anshi Wenyanbo would stop him, so he quickly agreed.

Li Fugui belonged to Wang Anshi. Wang Anshi quickly said: "Fugui is quick to make decisions when dealing with matters. He is known as a strong official and does not avoid dealing with others based on personal gain or loss. However, he is rash, impatient, has no authority, and likes to use words to intrude on others, so he is not a scholar."

I am happy for the troops. However, before I turned north of the canal, there were many political voices. Even if I have made a small mistake, the punishment will not be as high as that of a senior official. If the crime is true, I should be spared a little or two."

Su You said: "Participating in politics is military, not political. Military affairs should be governed by military law."

"There is no solid evidence as to whether Li Fugui committed a crime, but if the evidence is irrefutable and cannot be denied, then two thousand soldiers died in vain before, so can they be let off lightly like this?"

"In my heart, they serve the country and are no different from Su You. In fact, they deserve more respect than Su You when they face the powerful leader Feng Dy."

"In the previous dynasty, Prime Minister Pang brutally tortured the soldiers, and the scholar-bureaucrats praised him. Where is the benevolence? Are the soldiers not human beings?"

"The chaos at the end of the Tang Dynasty was definitely caused by the imbalance of checks and balances among the military. It is natural for our government to bring order to the chaos, but it is not to overdo it or to discriminate against them."

"The atmosphere of the Imperial and Song dynasties looked down upon military men, so the common people considered it a shame to join the army. They had forgotten that Xuanzu, Taizu, and Taizong were all born in the military!"

"If you are worried that they will cause chaos, you must be proficient in writing, be loyal and righteous, have great ambitions, and respect each other with integrity! The Master said that there is no distinction between education and distinction. Scholars and officials can do it, why can't soldiers?!"

"The army strictly enforces seventeen prohibitions and fifty-four beheadings. When Su You was in charge of the Wei Dynasty, he had already made an agreement with the army and the people: do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you. Please use me as a military law."

"If someone commits an offense, he should be beheaded and spread to other countries as a warning to others. There should be no distinction between scholar-bureaucrats."

"Therefore, only with the joint efforts of the army and the people can we defeat the masses with a small number and win a great victory in Weizhou."

"So, if Su You leads the way, this matter must be investigated; if the investigation proves true, this person must be killed!"

"As for whether we should send Su You to the northwest, I would like to ask the secretary, privy council, and your majesty to consider it."

After saying that, he stood aside respectfully.

No one dared to speak, not even big bosses like Wang Anshi and Wen Yanbo, who would dare to criticize the emperor.

What Su You said makes sense. Logically speaking, we should ask soldiers and generals to know the border states and transfer envoys.

Nowadays, there are many soldiers holding positions in border states. If they are treated differently, it will definitely lead to the disengagement of military morale and the reduction of loyalty.

But now that Su You has proposed this, the privileges of the scholar-bureaucrat have been violated.

If someone else had brought it up, everyone would have been able to refute it, but when Su You brought it up, it was in line with his standard evaluation of his willful nature, and more in line with the consistent proposition of "reasonable and reasonable" as the spokesperson of Shu School. Moreover, this child is now also a moral pillar of the Song Dynasty.

A benchmark, with personal ethics as impeccable as Sima Guang and Wang Anshi.

They have done it themselves first, and then they ask you for it. This is not the same thing as a hypocrite who talks about morality in vain.

In the White Tiger Hall of the Privy Council, you can hear the needle drop in silence.

Wang Anshi smiled bitterly, Zhao Xu was definitely willing to do this, and it was time for him to take the blame.

He coughed lightly and said, "I think it would be more appropriate to send Su You to the post."

Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief, Li Fugui was recommended by Wang Anshi. He was worried about Wang Anshi's mood, so he did not dare to speak: "In this case, let Wang Zhongzheng supervise the army, and the position of military equipment supervisor be assigned to Li Xian.

"

After speaking, he took out something from the bag beside him: "Mingrun, this is for your self-defense."

Damn! Gold-plated gun! Su You could not help but roll his eyes: "Your Majesty! There is no need to carry this thing with you! Just lock it in the safe at ordinary times!"

Zhao Xu felt embarrassed and said, "Aren't you here to discuss matters in the Privy Council? The Empress Dowager won't let you wear military uniforms, so it's okay to bring an inconspicuous weapon. And I didn't reload..."

Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing looked at each other. Su You's influence on Zhao Xu was far greater than they expected!

Lu Huiqing was very satisfied. With the weapons supervisor in hand, his strength in the reform faction immediately opened a big distance between him and the second and third echelons.

Zhang Dun and Su You have always had a good relationship. Zeng Bu is now called the "Dharma Protector Samana". Lu Huiqing actually had no idea that Su You would suggest that Zhao Xu should be replaced by him.

This one makes a lot of money!

At night, the Wang family father and son were chatting privately.

Wang Yu expressed his worries: "Father, Lu Jifu recommended Su You to be in charge of Shaanxi, and Su You recommended Lu Jifu to be in charge of weapons supervision. In between..."

According to the principle that whoever benefits is the conspirator, he thought that Lu Huiqing might not be clean.

Wang Anshi didn't take it seriously: "Do you think going to Shaanxi is a good job and worth Su Mingrun's exchange for the weapons inspector?"

Wang Yu was speechless immediately.

Wang Anshi sighed and said, "Xu'er, my father has high hopes for you. You should be more open-minded and broad-minded."

Wang Yu nodded in agreement, and then said: "Su Mingrun's move has finally damaged his father's prestige. Li Fugui..."

Wang Anshi said: "If he really framed the soldiers and killed the good and took credit, then his father had misjudged him and he was seeking his own death. Su Mingrun is right, the governor of a border state should follow the requirements of the general."

Wang Yu disagreed: "Then who else is willing to be this magistrate?"

Wang Anshi thought for a while: "How about changing the term to Hebei and Shaanxi every two years?"

Wang Yu said: "Su Mingrun will return to Beijing in two years and needs to be promoted. He will only be twenty-five years old by then."

Wang Anshi said: "How is it possible? For the sake of preservation, we cannot do this. Mingrun will not be promoted."

Wang Yu said: "If this is the case, the name of the imperial court is unjust and unjust, and it treats the meritorious officials poorly. Even if Su Mingrun is speechless, why don't the officials look up to him?"

Wang Anshi pondered for a while: "Xiao'er, you have seen Su Ming Runcheng very well."

In Wang Yu's heart, he was not only familiar with Su You, but hated him to the core.

Especially deer and deer, whose eyes cannot be distinguished but whose breaths can be separated. Not only did Su Shen Tong directly trample Wang Shen Tong to the ground, but he also gained a reputation as a kind-hearted person who did not pride himself on his intelligence and was not able to hide his talent from others.

On the contrary, Wang Shendong was narrow-minded and repaid kindness with hatred. Public debate began to arise among the scholars, and the hatred was even more irreconcilable.

However, with such thoughts, Wang Yu would never dare to confess to Wang Anshi, and said sincerely: "After this incident, the child has changed his past, not because of prejudice against Mingrun, but out of the desire to preserve what his father just said.

"

"After all, he is too young. It would be better to let Han Jiang be transferred to two different ways, while Su Mingrun concentrates on comforting him, or let him go his own way. This will not be too shocking."

"Father, please don't forget that Cai Ting is still working in Shaanxi. He was at the same level as Su Mingrun back then. Now he is too far behind Su Mingrun. He has not been transferred for a long time and has become a subordinate. It is inevitable that he will feel resentful."

Wang Anshi thought for a while: "This is also true, but today in the Privy Council, the Secretary and Your Majesty have already agreed."

Wang Yu said: "Su Mingrun is shining brightly. This is for the sake of the country. I will not object to it. In this way, Li Fugui may be saved."

Wang Anshi's last words were superfluous. Wang Anshi pondered for a long time: "No, I still have to respect Mingrun's wishes. I'll ask again tomorrow..."
