[It's a cold, it's just a cold - it's almost healed, and the morning update will resume tomorrow. 】
It was naturally Sun Shaozong's whims to help Xu Furen enter the cabinet or something.
Not to mention whether he has this ability or not, even if he really has such influence, with Xu Furen's scheming, it is absolutely impossible for him to blatantly collude at this time.
Where did he come to the door this time, what exactly did he intend
Facing Sun Shaozong's doubts, Xu Furen did not hide it.
After the guests and the host were seated, he put an official document on the coffee table and gently pushed it to Sun Shaozong's hand: "The old man came today to show Sun Shaoqing an official document."
Sun Shaozong hurriedly held up his hands, first glanced at it and sighed, and sighed: Xu Furen's entry into the cabinet is really cool!
Because this official document is actually a letter of appointment and dismissal, and the general content is to re-enlist Xu Furen, an official who has been appointed to officialdom, to serve as the Minister of Rites.
From the second assistant of the cabinet to the minister of the Ministry of Rites, this gap is not the same as the difference between heaven and earth, at least it is not the same.
It seems that the more top-level bosses, the more cautious you need to be in the team!
After Sun Shaozong sighed, he was waiting for a few words of comfort for Xu Furen. The words came to his lips, but he suddenly became suspicious - Xu Furen's visit with great fanfare was to let himself know that he failed to enter the cabinet, but became the minister of ritual.
There's something wrong with that, isn't it
Therefore, the words of relief were not listed first, and Sun Shaozong read the confession carefully again.
The content of the official document itself, naturally, there is not much more, but after he carefully scrutinized it, he gradually figured out some flavors.
First of all, the official rank of the Minister of Rites seems to be too low for a big man like Xu Furen, and Xu Furen has presided over a spring festival three years ago, and it is impossible to serve as the chief examiner again.
Apart from the most important imperial examinations, in terms of the real power of the Minister of Rites alone, it is quite a bit idle.
With Xu Ge's status in the arena, it stands to reason that such a vaguely demeaning and insulting appointment can be directly ignored.
But he readily accepted the order, and even brought the confession in front of him.
Think about the functions of the Ministry of Rites and the previous statement of He Ge...
"Elder Xu."
Sun Shaozong held it in both hands, sent the accuser forward, and probed carefully, "Could it be that the imperial court intends to let you send money after the envoy?"
If he is the servant of the Ministry of Rites, he will go to the Jin Kingdom first, and then make another appointment after returning to Beijing, then it makes sense!
"It's a tour."
Xu Furen seriously corrected Sun Shaozong's statement, and then praised with a whisk: "Sun Shaoqing is really smart and tight, and just by seeing this confession, he can guess the intention of the court."
Immediately, he sighed again: "Alas, the war in the southern border is not going well. Zhou Yunguang only thinks that others are ordering a long way, and he must not be able to care for each other. He thought of annihilating one of them first, so as to frustrate the enemy's spirit."
"I didn't think about it but fell into a trick to lure the enemy. Not only was he attacked from three sides, he lost a big defeat, but also let the Zhenla country take advantage of the situation to seize several military fortresses."
"Although the foundation of the southern Xinjiang army is not damaged, in the end, it has made people stand firm. When the two sides confront each other, I don't know when they will come to an end."
Southern Border actually suffered a defeat
This week Yunguangte is also careless, right
I remember that when he assisted Shi Xiangyun's Lao Tzu in the pacification of Goryeo, he was known for his steady and thoughtful actions, otherwise the court would not have specially transferred him from Shaanxi to southern Xinjiang to preside over the war.
As the saying goes, the whole body is affected by a single stroke. The battle in the southern border is not smooth, and the court's original plan for the Jurchen must naturally be adjusted and postponed accordingly.
It is no wonder that the cabinet suddenly changed its tone. To adopt a soft policy towards the post-Jin Dynasty, feelings are forced as a last resort and must be delayed.
but…
The news that the war in the southern border is not going well, I have never heard the slightest rumor before, it is obviously still a military secret, but now Xu Ge is so outspoken, I am afraid something is wrong, right
Xu Furen seemed to see through what Sun Shaozong was thinking, and immediately added: "After all, the old man is old, and it is inevitable that he will not take care of him well. Therefore, on this tour of Liaodong, it is inevitable to find a young and strong deputy envoy to help."
"So, Mr. Xu recommended the junior to the court?"
Sun Shaozong suddenly realized that since he wanted to follow the envoy to the Jin Kingdom, he naturally had to explain in advance the reason for the so-called Huairou policy.
"Do not."
However, Xu Furen shook his head slightly: "It was appointed by His Majesty. Sun Shaoqing is both civil and military, and he has also served as a military attache abroad. He is the best candidate for deputy envoys."
Too.
There are not many officials with experience stationed abroad in these years, and even fewer are qualified to serve as deputy ambassadors to Xu Furen.
but…
Sun Shaozong couldn't help frowning: "Your Excellency just said that it was not an envoy but an inspection tour?"
"Patrol."
The two words are concise and concise, but Sun Shaozong is very embarrassed.
Because since it is in the name of patrol, the implied meaning is naturally that the Jurchen in Liaodong is still regarded as a subject under the rule, rather than a separate country.
Not willing to give the other party a name, but also to appease with tenderness, I am afraid it will not be so easy to implement this strategy.
"Sun Shaoqing has nothing to worry about."
Hearing Xu Furen laughing: "The court wants to stabilize the Jurchen, and the Jurchen sent an envoy to Beijing, why isn't it to stabilize the court?"
This is also true, the post-Jin Kingdom has just established centralized rule, and the internal conflict has not been completely completed - the tribal nobles who have fled to Da Zhou with their families recently are the proof - at this time, they want to go to war with Da Zhou in an all-round way. Apparently too weak.
"But what about North Korea? Do you want to sit back and ignore it?"
This is obviously impossible. After all, the Emperor Taishang is still alive, and the destruction of Goryeo and the establishment of Korea are the achievements that the Emperor Taishang is proud of in his life.
If Jin Guo annexed North Korea or forced North Korea to become an enemy of Da Zhou, then would the Taishang Huang's face still be needed
Even Emperor Guangde himself is afraid that his face will be dull, right
Not to mention, once Jin is allowed to annex North Korea, the Jurchens will have enough strategic depth, as well as a source of food and soldiers, and it will be more than ten times more difficult to conquer again at that time.
But on this matter, Xu Furen obviously refused to say more, just shook his head and said, "The court has made a plan for this matter, and you and I don't need to worry about it."
Does the court have a plan
At present, the imperial court is already stretched to meet the needs of the southern border, and it is obviously impossible to send more troops to Liaodong.
And with the troops and horses of Liaodong, plus a part of the magic battalion, the defense may be worry-free, if you want to forge ahead...
So where did this plan come from
Sun Shaozong pondered for a while, but couldn't get the point. He subconsciously picked up the teacup and took a sip, but suddenly his heart lit up: water? !
Prince Teng of the southeast
At present, the damage to the southeast sea has been weakened a lot. If a part of the navy is moved northward along the coast, it can deter North Korea from up and down; secondly, it can also help North Korea resist the invasion of Jurchen near the Yalu River.
However, whether this speculation is correct or not, it is difficult to find Xu Furen for verification, and I am afraid that we can only see the future changes in the situation.
After that, Sun Shaozong briefly discussed with Xu Furen the route of the envoy and the basic attitude towards Jurchen.
In fact, it is simple to put it plainly, one sings the white face and the other sings the red face.
And don't think too much, as the deputy envoy, Sun Shaozong must be responsible for putting on a tough stance, otherwise why would the court have to choose a military general to be the deputy envoy
