If we talk about "empty talk about the country" there are countless people who have descended from the Han Dynasty.

Is there any in the Song Dynasty?

There are, and there are a lot!

Confucianism in the Song Dynasty was a peak since the Han Dynasty. After the Han Dynasty, there was basically chaos. The Tang Dynasty had a relatively long-term unity.

The Sui and Tang dynasties were established after the Five Barbarians invaded China. The Sui and Tang dynasties were severely affected by the Hu Feng. It was not until the middle and late Tang dynasties that the Confucianism was not obvious. From the Han Dynasty to the early Song Dynasty, there were almost no Confucian masters.

The Song Dynasty had been peaceful for a long time, and its literary style was prosperous. The study of Confucianism had been very in-depth, and some people began to emerge one after another.

Among them, "Two Chengs" was an outstanding representative, and gradually became the only one in power and began to have an impact on governing the country.

After Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty, the emperors of the Song Dynasty more or less admired Laojun and recommended themselves by "governing without doing anything". However, at the beginning of Yuanyou, "governing the country with benevolence" seemed to have become the mainstream.

Everyone was thinking, and their own thoughts were on their minds.

The most common one is probably Li Qingchen, the Minister of Rites.

There are many conflicts between etiquette and law and Confucianism and law. "Li" comes from Zhou, which is relatively complete and more realistic. However, Confucianism is more suitable for rule, and there is a conflict between pragmatism and implicitness between the two.

The Ministry of Rites is compiling the "Shaosheng Code". As the Secretary of the House, Li Qingchen naturally needs to consider it thoroughly.

Seeing Zhao Xu teasing Xiao Quan'er, Empress Meng glanced outside and whispered: "Official family, the time is almost over."

Zhao Xu whispered, looked up at the outside, and smiled and said, "Okay, then let's start a banquet."

When Concubine Zhu heard this, she quickly reached out and said, "Give me that child."

Zhao Xu almost subconsciously hugged the child and said sideways, and quickly: "Mother, this is a banquet for the country of celebration. You have to go, go, go, go."

Concubine Zhu was stunned and hesitated, saying, "I'll go too?"

She has been in the palace for so many years and has only a handful of opportunities to appear in court officials. She dared not think about such a grand banquet in the country.

Zhao Xu held the child and looked forward.

Cai Bian didn't think it was wrong, and raised his hand with a smile and said, "Of course I have to go. The imperial guards in charge of the government won a great victory. You are the biological mother of the government. You must be in such an occasion."

Concubine Zhu always believed these upright foreign ministers who were well-read and well-read, but when they saw Cai Bian say this, no one objected, they reluctantly agreed.

Zhao Xu carried the child forward, with Concubine Zhu and Empress Meng following along, and a group of courtiers followed.

Not long after he walked out of the Qingbiao Hall, Nan Tianyou hurried over, not caring about so many people, came to Zhao Xu and whispered: "Official family."

Zhao Xu was happy and said, "If you can say it, it is not an urgent matter. Write a copy."

Nan Tianyou also knew that he should not disturb him at this time. He glanced at the people present, leaned closer, and lowered his voice: "Dali seems to be intentional to send envoys to Beijing. There seems to be something unusual about Tubo. Li Xia and Liao have been in contact with each other recently."

Empress Meng and Concubine Zhu both heard it, but neither of them responded.

At the back, Zhang Dun and Zhang Qing vaguely heard some keywords and their expressions changed slightly.

Zhao Xu looked as usual, snorted coldly, and said, "Just jumping clown!"

Some people who didn't know the inside story were shocked. For some reason, the officials in a good mood suddenly became angry.

When Empress Meng saw this, she reached out and carried Xiao Quan'er into her arms.

Zhao Xu held his hands behind his back, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked quietly at the south sky.

Nan Tianyou stood beside him and said no more.

Seeing that Zhao Xu was not moving, Zhang Feng looked a little confused.

He heard some, and could roughly guess that, as Zhao Xu said, it was just a "jump clown", but why did he not stop moving?

He turned to look at Zhang Dun.

Zhang Dun shook his head slightly.

The current situation in the Song Dynasty is to focus on internal affairs. It is impossible for a big war to start another battle, and the morale of the army and national strength are not allowed.

Now, the Song Dynasty is going to engage in an open and secret battle with all parties.

Zhang Dun swept over and fell on Chen Jun, the Minister of Works.

This person is a very good envoy who travels through various countries.

Chen Xian naturally didn't expect that Zhang Dun had arranged a task for him, and was thinking about how to get closer to Cai Bian and even Zhang Dun so that he could start his next year's work.

"What do you think of Dali?" Suddenly, Zhao Xu, who was facing away from them, spoke again.

The group of civil and military ministers behind Zhao Xu were stunned. Even Zhang Dun and Zhang Shi did not expect that Zhao Xu was considering Dali.

Regarding Dali, the Song Dynasty gave up the idea of ​​annexation when it was established, and had not had any war with Dali for more than a hundred years.

Zhang Dun and Zhang Feng are one of the few people who understand Zhao Xu's ambitions - a true unification!

Cai Bian knew that he did not know so clearly to Zhang Dun. Zhang Feng said in a deep thought: "The officials and Dali sent envoys, some of the officials who personally won the battle, some of the officials who were in charge of the government, some of the officials who were in charge of the government, and some of the changes in the era next year. Their fundamental purpose is probably to be inclusive."

The so-called "inner attachment" is actually that Dali admires the Song Dynasty and wants to become a vassal state of the Song Dynasty.

But the Song Dynasty has always been shirking its responsibilities and rejecting it in every way, but it just refuses to agree.

This included the Song Dynasty's vigilance towards Dali and the disdain for the Song Dynasty. The vigilance was because the Tang Dynasty learned the lessons of Nanzhao, and the disdain was because Dali was too poor and really agreed to be attached, so the blood transfusion would be endless.

After Cai Bian finished speaking, the court officials knew this matter well and had no extra thoughts, nothing more than refusal.

Why agree to something that has no benefit?

Seeing that Cai Bian had finished speaking, Zhang Dun said without saying anything, he said with his own identities: "Officials, I believe that according to the convention, I am welcome to send you back politely. There is no need to bother them too much..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Dun suddenly said: "If the official family is connected with Li Xia, then Tubo will have to have checks and balances. Dali Kingdom may be able to use it."

This entry point is amazing!

Zhao Xu smiled, turned his back to everyone, and said in a normal tone: "The Dali Country has a poor thalassin and fewer troops, with less than 50,000 troops. Can they have the strength to control Tubo? Or, are they willing?"

Tubo is still very powerful now. Although he is often beaten by the Song Dynasty and Xixia, he often gets beaten back, and the main reason is that it is still divided.

Wang Cun was about to continue to open his mouth, but Zhang Dun said decisively: "I can send troops to Dali in the Song Dynasty, or, I can help Dali in training troops and help them with weapons, armor, food, etc."

Zhao Xu was clenched with fists with his right hand behind him.

Cai Bian's eyes were sharp and clearly seen, but he didn't understand. He turned his mind and said, "Official family, the renovation of the official roads in our dynasty is accelerating. If Dali really sticks to it, he can use the opportunity of building official roads, canals, etc. to test the true attitude of Dali Country."

Zhao Xu slowly loosened his tight hand, turned around, looked at Zhang Dun and said, "Grandpa, what do you think?"

Zhang Dun's eyes flashed and he said, "Maybe for further testing, you can take advantage of the matters on Jiangnan West Road."
