In the middle of the month, Taiyuan.
During this period, Luo Qinghan, Xiao Monknu of Datong, Zhe Keqiu of Zhe Kecun, Zhe Kecun of Lin Mansion, Zhe Yanzhi of Lin Yan, Yang Keshi and other civil and military officials gathered in Taiyuan to discuss the plan of revival together.
Li Hu severely damaged the Xia army in the battle of Luotuo River, achieved amazing results, and established his supreme position in the northwest. This world is actually the world of strong people. Whoever has the most powerful strength is the well-deserved boss. Li Hu is the boss now, especially the mutiny he launched in Taiyuan, which gave the generals of the Northwest Army a strong shock. They suddenly discovered that the emperor and imperial power were vulnerable in the face of powerful force. Martial arts are the real masters of this world. As long as they can be as powerful as Li Hu, the world can be trampled on their feet.
The king lowered his noble head and had to surrender to the power of the warriors. Tong Guan was also not as powerful as he could only compete with the power and was willing to use it for Li Hu. This was the consequence of the power contest. Although it was cruel, it was very real. How to go in the future was no longer something that Prince Yun and Tong Guan could do. They could only follow Li Hu and the warriors in the northwest and follow each other.
In this discussion, the top priority is the division of interests.
The Jin army has retreated to Hebei, and Bianjing has temporarily won a breathing time, while the Shengjie army has entered Chang'an. Yang Weizhong's troops of the Northwest Army are rapidly heading south to Guanzhong to meet with Tong Shimin and Liu Guangshi. In addition, according to reliable news from Bianjing, the old emperor has arrived in the southeast and formed a confrontation with Bianjing. In fact, the Song Dynasty has formed a confrontation between the old emperor, the little emperor and the prince of Yun.
The formation of this confrontation situation is the best opportunity for Prince Yun to rise and eventually seize the imperial throne. However, how long this confrontation situation can last depends not only on the strength of the three parties, but also on external factors, such as the development strategy of the Jin Dynasty. Therefore, once the confrontation situation of the three parties is broken, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will be gone. Therefore, Prince Yun’s rise is very short, and he must take the northwest as quickly as possible to form an advantage against Bian Jing in terms of strength, otherwise he is very likely to fail.
The situation is very tense and time is very short. Li Hu and the Zhe family, Hu Lie Army and the Northwest Army must reach a consensus on interests in the shortest time. This division of interests cannot be stopped in agreement and must be guaranteed by policies. In other words, Li Hu and the Zhe family must come up with a reform plan to maintain interests, come up with a complete set of ZTE strategies, and get the consent of Wang Di.
The first change in the Song Dynasty was the Qingli New Deal initiated by Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi, Han Qi and others, followed by Wang Anshi's reform. When it came to Cai Jing, Wang Anshi's new policy on land quickly transformed. Although the intensity of the change was unprecedented, the direction shifted, which shook the foundation of the Song Dynasty.
There are many people in the Zhe family and the Northwest Generals and Military Academy. Moreover, because Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi and other prime ministers were in charge of the Northwest Military Academy and had a deep friendship with the Northwest Generals and Sects. Their changes and directions have a great impact on the Northwest Generals and Sects, so the Northwest people are more conservative and still make changes within the framework of the basic national policy of the Song Dynasty.
Li Hu and the generals of the Huli Army and Han and Fan areas had no idea about the basic national policies of the Song Dynasty. To be honest, they did not even know the basic national policies of the Song Dynasty and the specific policies derived from these basic national policies. Therefore, the plan they proposed largely originated from the basic national policies and specific policies of the Liao Dynasty. The basic national policies of the Liao Dynasty were one country, two systems, and Han and Fan areas. Putting aside the Khitan government system in the north and south, just as the Han government system in the north and south, many systems were imitated by the Song Dynasty. However, the basic national policies were different from the Song Dynasty. For example, using culture to build military affairs, they would control the inside and protect the internal and external conditions. The people of the Liao Dynasty believed that it was not suitable for their own national conditions and did not adopt them.
Therefore, the reform plan proposed by Li Hu and Hu Lie Mansion was very radical. It basically abandoned the basic national policy of the Song Dynasty. This overall overturn and repeated very thorough reform plan was obviously conducive to ensuring the interests of Hu Lie Mansion and the people in the northwest. But the king could not accept it. The Zhe family and the people in the northwest were also lingering fears about the bloody interests of the Song Dynasty during the reform. They were worried that this radical reform plan would cause the Song Dynasty to be in chaos. Therefore, they were cautious. In other words, under the current situation, they believed that radical reform policy was not suitable. Instead, a moderate and conservative reform strategy should be adopted.
The new land policy of Cai Jing is obviously a failure. Even if it fails, it is due to the bad situation. For example, continuous wars, such as natural disasters. This bad situation requires a lot of money. The court cannot impose excessive taxes and then enter a vicious cycle. However, the Song Dynasty is now on the verge of defeat. This responsibility must be borne by someone. The old emperor and Cai Jing are both firm implementers of the new policy. They have to bear the responsibility. Their implementation of the new land policy is naturally the culprit.
If the old emperor and Cai Jing’s new policy represent the interests of the new party and the Yuanfeng party members, then with the old emperor and Cai Jing’s step down, the court is rejecting the new
. We must give up the new policy, re-engage the old party, and re-engage the Yuanyou party members to avoid overcorrecting the wrongs, further crack down on the people, and deepen the conflicts between officials and the people.
Two different voices were fiercely arguing in Taiyuan. Li Hu and Hu Lie Mansion were about to be pushed back and started over. The Zhe family and the Northwest General Sect hoped to repair the rules. The overall framework of the Song Dynasty was still good. The strong and prosperous Song Dynasty was a clear example. Although the Song Dynasty is now in a collapsed dilemma, to be honest, the strength it contained is still very strong. As long as it stabilizes and implements a correct policy to benefit the country and the people and the people. The Song Dynasty will be able to recover its vitality and become rapidly stronger.
This debate continued until Yuwen Xuzhong's arrival was not over.

Before Yuwen Xuzhong, Bianjing sent two groups of envoys to the northwest, one to Datong and the other to Taiyuan. Whether it was Li Hu or the king, he used the imperial edict of the little emperor of Bianjing as a rag, and threw it away casually, and ignored it, without even a reply. These two groups of envoys had to stay in Taiyuan.
Before Yuwen Xuzhong arrived in Taiyuan, he received several urgent documents from Bianjing on the way, knowing that Chang'an and Guanzhong had been controlled by Tong Guan and Zhe Yanzhi's Northwest Army, while Hedong was controlled by Li Hu. The entire northwest became the treasure of Prince Yun in a short time. Now the king has Li Hu on the left and Tong Guan and Zhe Yanzhi on the right, and he is dominant in the northwest with hundreds of thousands of troops. In fact, it has formed separatist.
There is a question here, who is the real King of Northwest? Is it King Yun or Li Hu? Bian Jing believes that King Yun does not have this strength. The reason why Li Hu and Zhe Yanzhi respect him was purely because they wanted to use him to seize the imperial rule and then control the authority of the Song Dynasty through him. So is Li Hu? Li Hu's strength is in Daibei, and he does not have the conditions to control Shaanxi and Hedong. Even if he is willing to control, the Zhe family and the Northwest Army will agree? Shaanxi and Hedong are the sphere of influence of the Northwest Army. Li Hu will not turn against the Zhe family and the Northwest General for the time being. From this, it is speculated that the Northwest is just a loose alliance, Li Hu and the Northwest people form an alliance because of common interests, and the Prince of Yun is just a tool for them to seize this profit.
Bian Jing thus came up with countermeasures to alienate Li Hu and the Northwest Generals, deprive Prince Yun of the military power, weaken the military power of the Northwest Generals, and destroy this loose alliance.
Bianjing issued an urgent order to remove the position of Prince Yun from the Northwest of King Yun, and supervised the general to return to Bianjing immediately. Since you, Li Hu, said that you imprisoned the king, then you should send him back to Bianjing. If you resist the order, then Bianjing would have a reason to attack. Then Bianjing announced Tong Guan’s ten major crimes, asking Li Hu to chop off Tong Guan’s head and send him to Bianjing for public display.
He was appointed King Li Hu of Han as the Taibao, the Great Marshal of the Northwest, Dong Xiaochou as the left deputy commander, Zhe Yanzhi as the right deputy commander, Yuwen Xuzhong as the chief secretary of the Grand Marshal's office, and Zhang Xiaochun as the Sima of the Grand Marshal's office.
Bai Luo Qinghan was the commander of Yunzhong Road. Zhe Yanzhi, the right deputy commander in the northwest, was also the commander of Hedong Road.
He was appointed as the commander of Shaanxi, and Fan Zhixu was appointed as the commander of Shaanxi Xuanfu. Qian Gai and Fan Zhixu were both civil servants, among which Fan Zhixu was also a famous literati and proficient in poetry. The two knew nothing about military affairs. The commander department was established and the powers overlapped, and the original intention was to restrain each other, but in fact it caused chaos in command.
Five of the escorts of Shaanxi Sixth Road were replaced, and all of them were civil servants. The escorts of Huanqing Road were Wang Si, the escorts of Xihe Road were Wang Yi, the escorts of Jingyuan Road were Xi Gong, the escorts of Qinfeng Road were Zhao Dian, and the escorts of Yan Road were Zhang Shen.
The little emperor and several central ministers were determined to alienate the relationship between Li Hu and the Northwest Army. At this moment, Li Hu was just showing goodwill to Bian Jing. Then, Li Hu could not stop him from taking the opportunity to replace the commander of the Shaanxi commander. This would ensure that Bian Jing controls the Northwest Army and controls Shaanxi. Of course, if Li Hu openly opposes or drives away these officials who rushed to Shaanxi, it would be equivalent to declaring war on Bian Jing. Will Li Hu dare to declare war? He had no way to control Shaanxi. Even if he declared war and provokes civil war, could he occupy Shaanxi? Bian Jing seized this key point and did not hesitate and boldly alienated Li Hu and the Northwest Army. Without the help of the Northwest Army, whether it is Prince Yun or Li Hu, his intention to separatist the Northwest and threaten Bian Jing would fail.
On March 20, Yuwen Xuzhong arrived in Taiyuan and immediately announced the edict.
The king was shocked. He originally thought that Bianjing was afraid of Li Hu and was afraid of triggering a civil war, so he did not dare to abolish the Northwest Marshal's Mansion and deprive him of military power. Unexpectedly, the little emperor of Bianjing was very fierce. As soon as the Jin army left, he immediately dealt with Prince Yun.
Tong Guan was very calm. Bian Jing's strong attack was as expected.
