I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 856
To say that the hottest topic in the court these days is undoubtedly the official topic about going to sea in the future.

It seems that the official's going to sea does not mean maritime trade, but more like maritime plunder.

Firearms, personnel with experience in naval warfare... This is not about maritime trade.

Of course, the scope of discussion on this topic is still limited to the courtiers, and there is no limitless enlargement.

After all, the premise of promoting this matter is to regain Yanyun, which is still in the planning stage in the court...

As for those who have people in the team of the four princes, how to explain to the people they arranged, it depends on their own level.

The court's secrecy decree is not fake, and the supervisory office is always looking for trouble.

After all, the supervisory yamen cannot supervise officials like later generations. The imperial court did not restrict officials from doing business, let alone restrict the improper relationship of later generations.

Zhao Xi has no intention of being too advanced, and the system should be based on suitability, rather than rote.Therefore, the current supervisory office is relatively free, which also indicates that the country is politically clear to some extent...~
The normal state of society is stratification, especially in this day and age.

Reducing taxes to a certain extent without affecting the income of the imperial court and certain classes is the best way to reduce conflicts.

That is to say, in this era, Zhao Xi has more knowledge of thousands of years, and can achieve unlimited open source, so as to delay the occurrence of conflicts very well.

All conflicts can basically be attributed to interests, which Zhao Xi firmly believes.

People at different levels have different needs. If you want to be stable, you need to meet the needs of all levels as much as possible.

The demands of the gentry and the official class are power, influence, and more and greater interests. Zhao Xi formulated rules for the acquisition of rights to guide them in the direction of pursuing interests.

The demands of the people of the Li people are to have enough food and clothing, and to govern in a clear and clear manner. Zhao Xi has also achieved this to a certain extent.

When technology and craftsmanship show signs of stagnation, Zhao Xi guides outward expansion and instills such concepts in the court.

To a certain extent, it is possible to avoid excessive oppression of the people, ease, or avoid internal conflicts.

Zhao Xi is very fortunate that this era is not bad. To some extent, some concepts of later generations can be borrowed, which also allows Zhao Xi to change relatively easily.

This era has a good economic model foundation, a good political ecology and atmosphere, an enlightened and tolerant public perception, many responsible officials and generals, and a strong obsession to change.

Because of these, Zhao Xi gradually, gradually led the country to prosperity.

Now is the prosperous age, whether it is the court or the people, it is recognized.

A little narcissistic...~
In fact, it is true.When a king has free time, and when there are not many court affairs that need to be decided by the king, it means that the dynasty is in a healthy development.

Zhao Xi has a lot of free time now.

"Is the official here?"

Zhao Xi is using his spare time to be in a daze. Recently, he has become more and more used to being in a daze.Because, the original memories always come out from time to time...

It is very uncomfortable to be interrupted when you are in a daze. Wang Anshi is like this. He is not used to talking softly to the inner prisoner when he has an audience.

"What's the matter? Come in."

Such a loud voice can be heard without the internal supervisor's report.

It was as if the internal supervisor would be negligent as soon as the announcement was made, every time Wang Anshi asked for an audience, he did so in this way.

"Officials, Hebei Dao reported that Liao envoys have entered the country..."

All the cabinets came, and Wang Anshi's memorial came in first before everyone entered the palace gate.

For the Northern Liao Dynasty, Guochao still has fear after all.

Ok?Liao envoy... the relationship between Song and Liao, no matter how tricky it is, is still a scene of peaceful coexistence on the surface.

In the words of later generations, mutual exchanges are basically maintained on weddings and funerals.The sending of envoys by both parties is basically based on these etiquette.

Of course, this has only been like this since the Battle of Hedong.

Guochao didn't want to startle the enemy, but Beiliao seemed to be a bit jealous of Guochao, and didn't want to provoke Song...~ The main reason was that Beiliao happened to have a king who was particularly accustomed to getting drunk.

At this time, Northern Liao sent envoys...~
"Do you know the exact location of the Fourth Prince's team?"

Zhao Xi's first thought was whether the fourth prince's team did something that alerted Beiliao.

If in the past, Guochao provoked Beiliao, there would probably not be a procedure for dispatching envoys, and troops would be dispatched directly.

Even if they are sent envoys, they come to seek benefits.

Now, even if the fourth prince has done something, he is here to complain.

"Going back to the official's house, I have sent people to Dengzhou to get information as soon as possible. Do you need to prepare for the war, the official's house?"

Zhang Dun also considered this point.

"It's not necessary, it's not necessary for the time being. It's enough to order the Hebei Road Garrison to keep a close eye on the border troops."

Without the mobilization of the army, there is no possibility of a war between the two sides.

On the contrary, the cabinet seemed a little startled.It's not a big deal, the whole cabinet hastily had an audience to discuss the matter.

"Beiliao's dispatch of envoys shows that the situation is not serious, that is, there is a possibility of a negotiated solution."

"What the imperial court has to do now, first, find out the exact location of the Fourth Prince's team, and find out whether there is any conflict with Beiliao."

"Second, according to the usual procedures, the imperial court sent escorts and designated embassy escorts. And raised the alert level of the troops stationed in Hebei Road and Hedong Road."

"Third, before you are sure about the exact location of the Fourth Prince's team, or if you are sure that it has nothing to do with the Fourth Prince's team, use all means possible to find out the purpose of the envoy sent by the Northern Liao Dynasty."

"In addition, and the most critical point, the imperial court's accompanying envoys and embassy envoys must receive Liao envoys in the original way. For example, avoid military fortresses; for example, make more detours to confuse the public..."

The first few items are easy to understand. When the cabinet received the report from the Beiliao envoy, it roughly drafted the first three measures.

It’s just this last point, continuing to receive Liao envoys in the same way in the early years... that’s because Guochao was afraid of Beiliao, and Hebei Road didn’t have any natural defenses, so he had to do that kind of deceitful behavior.

Now the strength of the country, why should it be like this?

"Official, is it necessary?"

Zhang Dun's temperament is still anxious after all.

"Now Guochao and Beiliao are evenly matched in power, and this is a phenomenon that the imperial court has always wanted to create."

"Only by maintaining the original reception method can Beiliao reduce its vigilance, especially before the purpose of sending envoys to Beiliao is clear, the court must continue to give Beiliao the illusion of mutual vigilance."

is this necessary?Maybe not.When Zhao Xi said this, he just wanted to tell the cabinet ministers that the country should not be afraid of the Northern Liao now, but the Northern Liao should be afraid of the country.

I want to use this method to tell the cabinet that today is different from the past, and you shouldn't be so flustered because of the envoy from the Northern Liao Dynasty.
