"Sure enough, Yue Shuai is Yue Shuai", Liu Qi looked at Yue Fei and nodded slowly: "It's not wasting Liu's waiting!"
"Now that you and I have risked the world's ill-gottenness, and the military has entered Lin'an, each has its own palace, then today no matter how Qin Hui's generation stirs up trouble, as long as we don't nod our heads, this Lin'an city will never be chaotic, just" Liu Qi stepped forward One step, Xiang Yue Fei said: "Yue Shuai has thought that your Majesty will return soon after all. Your Majesty will never be like you and me. Let these sergeants take over the entire Lin'an City!"
Yue Fei frowned slightly, he could understand Liu Qi's concerns.
He and Liu Qi, themselves representatives of the military of the Great Song Dynasty, were truly fought with one blow. Under the current system of the Great Song Dynasty, no matter how important they were to be nobles and high-ranking officials, it was only because of their martial origins. , But they will inevitably be rejected by the civil official group that controls the center of the court, almost instinctively, especially when the emperor officials seem to intend to renovate their military equipment and begin to reuse martial arts. It is almost impossible to avoid contradictions.
Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the use of literature to control the military has been one of the most important national policies that the Emperor Taizong of the Great Song Dynasty has come down, and the literati have already occupied the entire Great Song Dynasty. Even in the army, it is almost inevitable that civilian officials will be named and commanded when they are about to fight. Today, the literati in the court are trying their best to maintain such a situation. It can be said that it is not only based on the immovable concept of ancestral system, but also can be summarized for the purpose of insisting on the use of culture to prevent military commanders from taking power. It can be summarized by countless people. Birth, the wealth of countless people, and even the lives of countless people.
In fact, at the beginning of the Song Dynasty, although the ancestral system of using Wen to control martial arts was established, if the original intention of Emperor Zhao Kuangyin, Emperor Taizu, is investigated, it is of course to avoid the reappearance of generals who dominate authority or take advantage of the chaos of the Five Dynasties. Stealing the central artifact, or segregating one side, is similar to the situation of a feudal town, but on the other hand, it is also out of the consideration of protecting the generals. Not to mention the generals who Zhao Kuangyin gave a cup of wine to release the military power that day, they all followed by themselves. He was born to death, brothers and comrades-in-arms who made a large tract of land and mountains, those who have used military commanders to set up affairs, usurp the throne and ascend to the throne, and who are not the heroes who have fought on the battlefield and made great achievements for the people of his country, but In the face of the temptation of that kind of power, it is hard to do it, and it will eventually become the eternal infamy written by the historian.
Therefore, although Zhao Kuangyin said that he himself started with martial arts, he established the ancestral system of martial arts controlled by literature. The original intention was not to let the literati dominate the warriors, but he pondered the rise and fall of ancient times. It’s not that there aren’t no people who have mounted their horses as generals and dismounted their horses, but they have been repaid for thousands of years. It’s just like the few people of Li Wei’s generation. Therefore, the real rulers of the past dynasties have relied on military commanders to fight the world and civilian officials to rule the world. Martial arts governance is not an unsuccessful example, but if you count them down, the chances of martial arts chaos in politics are always greater than that of martial arts good governance.
The reason why Zhao Kuangyin released his military power through a cup of wine at that time established the system of using culture to control the military. It was the style of the Song Dynasty that has been governed by culture for centuries. The original intention was to divide the original different routes of civil and military, and to rule by literati. Military generals dominate the army, military officers do not enter the center, and civilian officials are inferior to military affairs. In fact, in the early days of the Song Dynasty, the founding warriors such as Shi Hengxin were given military power, but their high status and strong entitlement were beyond the reach of those scholars who entered the imperial examination. .
Only when Emperor Taizong Emperor Zhao Guangyi came from the shadow of the axe and candle, although Zhao Pu’s testimony later formed the so-called Jinyan alliance, in Zhao Guangyi’s mind, the doubts about winning the position were not righteous. From the beginning to the end, it was lingering, so in the Taizong Emperor Zhao Guangyi's dynasty, the control of the army, the most fundamental force that could guarantee his emperor's throne, was almost strengthened to the point where it was not close. To the point of reason, frequently mobilize so that the generals do not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals. Even when the general leads his soldiers outside to face foreign warfare, he must pay attention to the defense from the middle, emphasizing that the Emperor Taizong must be the emperor. Zhao Guangyi's remote control command in the deep palace, from marching speed to lineup formation, and even the position of each sergeant, must be carried out according to the formation plan passed by Zhao Guangyi in the deep palace by the blind man touching the elephant.
Under the strict order of the Emperor Taizong, the frontline soldiers of the Song Dynasty did not have the freedom to change according to the actual situation. The soldiers knew that fighting according to the so-called formation was almost like sending death to death, but they often had to go, because if they were on the front line of the war, they could also have court cares, and their families, young and old, could also be properly taken care of. They were punished for violating their will and intentions. Not only are they inevitable to die, they even harm their families. In such a situation, no matter how grief and helpless the soldiers are, they can only It is the first to move forward together, but in this case, the morale of the soldiers on the front line can be imagined. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, after Emperor Taizong, there have been no successes in foreign warfare. This This policy of Emperor Taizong, I am afraid, is also one of the most important reasons.
After the death of Emperor Taizong, such a policy was postponed, and the consequences were serious and incalculable. After all, Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi was mostly under the command of his brother Taizu Emperor Zhao Kuangyin. Fighting, but I still got up from the army, no matter how he was a general. The formations he made in the palace, although it is inevitable that there are imaginary and impractical places, but in the end it is still Based on his experience and judgment to draw out the rumours, naturally this kind of command method of blind people tens of thousands of miles away who want to control the war remotely is very ridiculous, and it is absolutely difficult to win the battle based on this, but in this Taizong When the emperor was in power, finally there was no major leak.
However, following the death of Emperor Taizong, all the emperor officials of the Song Dynasty were raised in the deep palace and grown up in the hands of women. The understanding of all matters comes from books, but Song Guochao is in accordance with the ancestral system, or strictly according to the set that will be controlled from it. In every war, the formation is transmitted from the palace, and If the frontline sergeants follow the same story, how can they be undefeated? !
Only in this way, the emperor knew nothing about the military, but he had to directly give specific instructions to the frontline soldiers, so to a large extent, he changed the practice of the emperor’s official ruling by the emperor’s military orders in the time of Emperor Taizong to a large extent. And with the help of those literati in the court to discuss together, over time, in the day that the Emperor Taizu's civil and military divisions, the military commander did not prescribe the political affairs, and the civilian officials did not prescribe the military affairs strategy also completely disappeared, and it was close to the center. With the help of the emperor’s prestige, the civil official group became an existence that completely surpassed the generals, and with the passage of time, it continued to expand and maintain this advantage.
Therefore, among the civil officials, there has never been a lack of insightful people who have realized the disadvantages brought about by the imperial imperialism. It’s just that there have been many people who are determined to reform in the courts, but they have always avoided intentionally or unconsciously. In order to put forward opinions on this system of the imperial court, and even in the dispute between the two parties between the two parties in the DPRK and China caused by Wang Anshi’s reform, the new party that was determined to reform did not really spend much effort to change it. The Song Dynasty’s ancestral system of imperial control from the middle is at its root. Of course, this is because the fear of imperial imperialism was originally out of the emperor’s precautions and cannot be moved lightly, but the more fundamental reason is also because of the strategy of imprisoning from the middle. In fact, it has gradually evolved into the use of culture to control the military, and it has evolved into the most fundamental basis for the civil official group to surpass the generals.
As early as the early years of Zhenzong, when the Liao people invaded the south, as the leader of the Korean Chinese, Kou Zhunli advocated the emperor's personal conquest. The command center was truly transferred to the front line, so that it could listen to the opinions of the front-line commanders in a timely manner, and then temporarily repelled the army of the Liao State. However, those in the Song State who really presided over the overall situation of the Song State in the day The head of the civil official group did not take advantage of the victory and pursued it. On the contrary, he signed the alliance with the Liao State and signed the alliance with Liao. It was because the heads of the civil official group understood this battle in their hearts. Where did the victory come from, and if you don’t want to change the strategy of defending from the middle, you can only take it if you see it well, otherwise it is impossible for the emperor official to follow the army all the way north, so as long as the battle line is stretched, the battle will be won. The reversal of defeat was almost inevitable.
It was not until the Jurchen golden figure jumped south, stepped through the Bianjing artifact, forced the Song family to move south, and even chased after several times when Zhao Gou, who had just ascended the throne and became the emperor, fled in embarrassment. When the center of the hall was almost paralyzed, the strategy of defending from the center could not be implemented because of the actual situation. However, Yue Fei and others struggled to resist the forces of the Jurchens, causing the Song Dynasty to move south. After the regime gradually stabilized, the emperor Zhao Gou, who felt that he had already secured the position of the emperor, began to use various means to restore this strategy of imperialism from the middle, and in Qin Hui, he became the whole Nandu. Later, the leader of the literati also actively promoted the restoration of this so-called ancestral system, emphasizing the imperial power from it and the use of culture to control the military. In the ten years of Shaoxing, when Liu Qi made a great victory in Shunchang, he was forced to be his class teacher. It was Qin Junicao, the emperor approved, and directly issued the edict before the army. The result of Sihou Yuefei’s twelve gold medals is even more so. An extreme example.
It can be said that today, those literati above the court, the status of the civil official group above the martial artist has long been taken for granted and even justified, so even if a trace of it comes from The signals that the Yu Wu collective might be approaching the center are all reactions that are so intense that they are almost allergic. Just like Di Qing in the past, it can be said that he made an immortal contribution to the Song Dynasty. Although he served as a privy envoy and ranked among the rulers, he has always been cautious in his words and deeds in the court, except for military-related matters. Not much else to say, but even so, it was quickly demoted out of the field under the collective attack and counterattack of the entire civil official group, and ended in depression.
Under the special conditions at the beginning of Nandu, a group of generals such as Yue Fei and Liu Qi, due to their unquestionable accomplishments, obtained the rare status of martial artists since the founding of the Song Dynasty. Qin Hui’s suppression of Yue Fei and others must have his own considerations, but it can also be said to represent the overall thinking of the civil official group. If not, Qin Hui would not be able to consolidate it. The position of power is the hope of the people in the world.
Originally, if there was no such emperor official, suddenly a new person would rescue Yue Fei, who was mortal, from Fengbo Pavilion. This battle between civil and martial arts could be regarded as a victory or defeat, and the dust settled. Da Song will inevitably return to the old way of governing from the middle and controlling martial arts with culture. The martial arts collective will no longer have a day to rise. As long as Qin Hui's peace and discussion can be negotiated, everything will be back to you. In the years after the Yuanzhi League, the court dominated by literati only repaired the internal affairs, and would no longer raise arms and arms. Of course, these literati would call twice to regain the land of Hebei and regain it. The rhetoric of Bianjing Sacred Tool, but this kind of language is just like the old vows that hoped to recover the Sixteen Continents of Youyun, after all, it can only be said about it.
But now everything has changed like this. The emperor not only rescued Yue Fei and expelled the Jurchen peace envoy, but also resisted public opinion so hard, and personally went to the front line to resist the Jurchen gold, and even gave it back. Before leaving Beijing, he entrusted Yue Fei with the fact that he stayed behind in Lin'an, which was actually equivalent to most of the state of prison, and Qin Hui, the head of civil servants ranked as the prime minister, was just a co-zhi Lin'an who was equivalent to a deputy who stayed behind.
These things are what the generals like Yue Fei and Liu Qi have wanted for so many years, but even if they are dreaming, they dare not dream that one day can be achieved. However, within these short months, It really just appeared in front of them one by one, and it really made Yue Fei and Liu Qi feel a little caught off guard.
However, this situation suddenly turned over too quickly. Although it is quite an event for the military commander group, it will almost certainly arouse a more fierce counterattack by the civil official group, especially in this kind of emperor official. Under the situation of the family leader outside, they must also guarantee the front-line logistics supply. In the end, Yue Fei and Liu Qi had to adopt the fierce move of sending out sergeants under the account and forcibly entering the various ministries and institutes in Lin'an. Using coercive force to temporarily guarantee the stability of Lin'an or the Great Song Dynasty, but after all, it was only temporarily suppressing the grievances of these literati. Once this depressed mood erupts, I am afraid that the counterattack will be stronger than It was a hundred times more violent before.
Of course, Yue Fei and Liu Qi can completely ignore the opinions of the civilian officials. After all, no matter how low their postures are, the civil officials are out of their own interests, and it is impossible for them to let go of their prejudices and exclude them. Therefore, there is a branch office in the various ministries and institutes in Lin'an. The method is naturally quite rude, and it will inevitably provoke the anger and complaints in the hearts of the civilian group, but as long as Yue Fei and Liu Qi assess that this is indeed under the circumstances at the time , The best way to maintain the stability of Lin'an city and even the Great Song Dynasty, then they did not hesitate to do it, anyway, the worst result is nothing more than to make the civil and military officials already nervous. The antagonism between the two is a bit more intense.
The current results have also proved their judgment. At least these days, in front of the sergeants with real swords and guns, the literati in the divisions in Lin'an City inevitably complained, and they also made all their faces, but how? It can be said that a relatively stable situation has been maintained, at least no one dared to fight with their lives to cause any bloodshed that is out of control.
However, such a kind of peace under strong control is like a sandy city. It is absolutely impossible to last forever. It is just that when the emperor's official family is out of war, they must ensure the supply of military supplies and the stability of the rear. They must take the last resort. In fact, even though these literati kept silent under strong force, as long as they passively resist, it is enough to stop everything in the Song Dynasty and become a mess. In that day, Yue Fei and Liu Qi were just two evils. Under the consideration of the relative power, I have no choice but to do it. These days, some important civil servants in Lin'an City, who have never collectively went on strike and led to the collapse of the government, have also temporarily controlled the overall situation of Lin'an, Liu Qi, It is quite surprised that these literati at this time actually have this kind of consciousness of focusing on the overall situation and bearing tolerance for the country.
Therefore, the emperor's official family will return. Unless the emperor's official family is determined to change the situation of ruling the world with the literati since the founding of the country and replace it with the military, it is absolutely impossible to continue to ignore the opposition from the civil official group. , And allowing this situation to continue in this way, because of the current temporarily stable balance of power, at best, it will only be able to maintain the day when the emperor's official squad returns to the court.
At that time, the grievances of these literati who had been holding back for so long broke out, and they might not know what it would look like in the court.
After all, although the current emperor of the emperor suddenly seems to have changed a person, he began to reuse famous generals such as Yue Fei, Liu Qi, and Han Shizhong. However, after the court was controlled by literati for so many years, the military system was in the court. The voice that could be heard from above was still extremely weak, and what Yue Fei and Liu Qi did this time was really too deviant. Liu Qi's worries were really not unreasonable.
Although Yue Fei was appointed by the emperor himself to be a guardian in Lin'an, to a certain extent, he waited for more than half of the country to supervise the country, but according to the rules and regulations, it is still necessary to report to the emperor who is on the front line. You should make your own claim. In the past, this kind of position close to the state of prison can also be said to be the most suspected position. Even if it is held by the crown prince, it is often in order to avoid suspicion. Such arbitrary decisions made Liu Qi lead troops into Lin'an, even forcibly stationed in various ministries and institutes in Lin'an. It can be said that from the past to the present, things have never been heard before. If you really want to compare the truth, it can lead to endless things. Interpret it.
"As long as the emperor's official family returns..." Yue Fei stood at the gate of the imperial city, looking at the colorful colors in the night sky, and pondered for a long time. This was a soft sigh: "The emperor Shengming, there will always be his Reason, there is his judgment!"
"Does Yue Shuai know that my heart is extremely contradictory?" Liu Qi looked at Yue Fei, smiled bitterly, and said: "For the rumors spreading in the streets of Lin'an, Liu really doesn't want it to be true. But I kind of hope it is true!"
"Oh?" Yue Fei frowned Wei Xuan, looked at Liu Qi, and asked, "What does Liu Shuai mean?!"
