Ying Jieyan was surprised by the little emperor's words. He obviously wanted to kill Wu Shuo. This was contrary to the compromise reached by the Wu family. The two sides completely broke up and a fight was inevitable. As a result, no matter who wins or loses, it was a catastrophe for the Song Dynasty. This was something he didn't want to see, but he also saw that as the little emperor grew up, he wanted to concentrate his power and make arbitrary decision after taking power.

"Your Majesty, since the Wu family has made a compromise, they must keep their previous promises!" Ying Jie Yan Yan said, "This time, the Wu family promised that all the children of the clan would not participate in the imperial examination within ten years. This is equivalent to cutting off their promotion path. If you can no longer pose a threat to Your Majesty for two years, why do you need to kill them all!"

"Sir, don't be anxious. I didn't say that I'll execute him at this moment!" Zhao Bing replied with a smile.

"Your Majesty, there are many people in the Wu family. How could they not know the twists and turns? Once it is leaked, there will be another storm!" There has always been a saying in the officialdom that "the county magistrate who destroyed the family and the prefect who destroyed the family". It is easier for the emperor to kill someone secretly than crush an ant. At present, the little emperor can forgive Wu Shuo, but who can guarantee that he will not attack him in the future? The Wu family once again emphasized that His Majesty would keep his promise, but in fact he was worried that he would kill him secretly.

"Sir, even if I don't kill him, can he survive the hard labor of the army with such a spoiled look? Why should I be this evil person?" Zhao Bing said with a wry smile.

"As long as Your Majesty does not interfere in this matter, the Wu family can clear the joints and protect him from his life!" Ying Jieyan was still a little worried when he heard this. The little emperor didn't say anything, but the person under his eyes could understand it. There were ten thousand ways to kill him silently, so he mentioned it again.

"The Wu family cannot trust me, but I cannot trust them. They thought that as long as the censor did not impeach, the queen could be guaranteed to be carefree, so they secretly instigated people to silence all officials. What is this intention?" Zhao Bing snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the Wu family has such a kind intention!" Ying Jieyan secretly scolded the Wu family for not knowing death. The little emperor was afraid of them and wanted to kill him. But wouldn't they be suspicious of being slaughtered? This can only strengthen the little emperor's heart to get rid of them, but it will be useless. But what he needs to do now is to put out the fire instead of adding fuel to the fire, and thought about it.

"Good intention?! I only saw the threat, but I didn't see any good intentions. Do you really think I dare not touch them?" Zhao Bing rolled his eyes and said, obviously not satisfied with his statement.

"I know that Your Majesty is in his mind and aspirations to restore the Central Plains. But you can't act too rush. The Wu family's forces are in a mixed manner. How can they be eliminated in one day? They need to slowly take action. And their ability to secretly influence the government also shows that Your Majesty's worries are not weak. But in this matter, it is beneficial to Your Majesty. Without impeachment from the ministers, Your Majesty can go with the flow and not have to deal with the queen seriously, but can seize his power!" Ying Jie said sternly.

"Sir, I know that I don't like being coerced. If I give up, I feel cowardly!" Zhao Bing said in a little resentful.

"Your Majesty, if you are a little unbearable, you will be a big plan. Besides, although the Wu family did not suffer any damage from the appearance of this fight, all the officials of the Wu family members who entered the government retired, and those who were awarded the title were reduced to the first grade. In addition, the Wu family was not allowed to participate in the imperial examination for ten years, which was actually a serious injury. In the officialdom, people have always been in a state of disgrace. There are many people who have lost their mistakes. In less than two years, the Wu family will be defeated and can no longer pose a threat to the emperor. Therefore, Your Majesty seems to have been a little angry, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Your Majesty is actually a complete victory and will also alert the officials in the court!" Ying Jieyan saw that the young emperor was still dissatisfied, and he advised him kindly.

"What sir said is good, but I'm anxious!" Zhao Bing said as he stood up and said, "Sir, we have been sleeping in Qiongzhou for ten years and tasted gall to recover a corner of the south of the Yangtze River. There are still several states on the west road of Guangnan at the enemy. Dali and Sichuan were also occupied by the Mongol Yuan. Tens of thousands of enemy troops are facing us across the river and are always ready to go to the south of the Yangtze River. The situation is even more dangerous than in Qiongzhou. However, internal unstable, I dare not act without any action. Do you have to wait ten years before the northern expedition to the Central Plains?"

"Your Majesty's thoughts are very clear. But now there are strong enemies around you outside and you are holding your elbows everywhere inside, making your ambitions unfulfilled!" Ying Jieyan nodded. As an old minister of the four dynasties, he naturally knew that what made the little emperor feel was the power structure formed since the founding of the Song Dynasty.

There is no doubt that the monarch of the Song Dynasty was at the top of this power structure and had the most respected position. The prime minister's institutions under the monarch, including the Secretariat and the Privy Council, were ruling teams that ruled the world with the emperor and held the actual governance power. Moreover, the statutory power of the prime minister is great. For all "the emperor's gains and losses, the advances and retreats of all officials, the safety of the country, the well and woe of the people, the praise and demerit of the orders near and the far away, the rebellion of the barbarians, the great yin and yang, the small yin and consuming money and grain, all officials have their own affairs, and the matter is well-known, and they are all appointed and responsible to the prime minister."

Therefore, the prime minister is in charge of everything in the world, not just a position and official. Although the imperial edicts are issued in the name of the emperor, the drafting, review and promulgation of the edicts must be carried out in the prime minister's organization and signed by the prime minister. Any edict issued by the imperial edict must be borne by the prime minister and cannot be implemented without the two governments. Therefore, such a power structure is an active force to restrain the imperial power, making the monarch's arbitrary attempt contrary to this power structure, making it difficult for the imperial power to develop in such a power structure.

"Sir, I know that I have always been lazy and are not a greedy ruler. However, most of the court officials are successful people, lacking the ambition, and even after entering Jiangnan, they have a sense of peace." Zhao Bing frowned and walked anxiously in the hall. "Under such a situation, there is almost no hope of the Northern Expedition, and as long as the real gold stabilizes the interior, it can quickly free up its hands and transfer the Northern Army to the south to the south again. At that time, even if we had the Yangtze River as a basis, the front line was long and there were always omissions. If one was broken, it would be passive everywhere, and the entire line of defense would collapse!"

"In addition, in the long run, if we want to defend the Yangtze River defense line, we must mobilize hundreds of thousands of standing troops to the south of the Yangtze River. The military expenditure consumed is tens of millions per year. Even if the enemy does not attack, we must be prepared forever. This money is even more inexpensive. In the long run, the country will have no savings. Once there is something to do, taxes will be increased, making the country poor. And over time, it will not only make the soldiers and generals slack, but no combat power will be no longer available. It will also breed corruption and ruin our years of hard work."

"Your Majesty's worries are extremely true. But you have to eat in one bite of food. You must first stabilize the government and accumulate money and food before you can recover the Central Plains in one go." Ying Jieyan said with a chuckling.

"Why are you not in a hurry at all? I feel like I'm on fire, and I always have to help me with some advice!" Zhao Bing felt even more annoyed when he saw the old man stroking his beard and drinking tea. He sat down and said.

"Your Majesty, you must be steady and steady. Mountain of Tai collapses before you will not change your face. The situation is complicated at this moment, and Your Majesty cannot be distracted first!" Ying Jieyan poured tea for the little emperor and said in a deep voice.

"Well, the lesson of sir is that I have become a little impatient these days!" Zhao Bing felt that he was just a slut. When the old man changed his face, he felt guilty and honestly admitted his mistake.

"I know Your Majesty's intentions, but this matter is unhurried. Even if you threaten the sword and gun, it is difficult to convince people. It is unknown if they have the chance." Ying Jie Yan said, "In addition, what Your Majesty does not only involve a wide range of things, but also involves the family rules of the ancestors. How can it be changed overnight?"

"What is the most important thing at the moment?" Zhao Bing thought about it. The three hundred years of rules have been engraved into the bones and are deeply rooted in his thoughts, especially those vested interests, how could they surrender easily? He bowed his hand to ask the old man for advice.

"I think the most important thing at the moment is the country, and the three things that are compiled and imperial examinations are compiled, followed by military affairs!" Ying Jieyan said in a deep thought, "The country is determined, and then the facilities are implemented in the next step. The top has a plan to be well determined, and the bottom has no confusion about the direction. It is not difficult to take the matters of the world; the top is a revision of the code, and the people of the world can follow it together; the top is a talented person in the world can be selected for use by Your Majesty. If these three things are completed, the people will be calm and the world will be stable, and Your Majesty can go far away."

"Mr. I'm very saying, but I think it takes three years for the few to complete the three things, and five years for the first time to achieve the initial results. I feel that it's too long. Can I borrow the Qin system and apply Shang Yang's method?" Zhao Bing thought for a while and tried to ask.

In fact, at the beginning of the recovery of Jiangnan, Zhao Bing also wanted to hold public discussions with his ministers to discuss the country's affairs, and set long-term strategic goals and short-term development plans. He broke the shackles of the ancestors' family law by compiling imperial edicts, and carried out political reforms and built a new war system. As for the imperial examination, of course, it was within his considerations, to absorb talents widely and complete the transition from the old to the old. At this moment, he felt that the old man wanted to implement the "rule of law" and build a new political structure based on this. He felt that the Qin system was dominated by the Legalists and had an incomparable advantage in war mobilization and execution, so he took the opportunity to put forward his own ideas.

"Your Majesty must not be. The Qin system's benevolence and righteousness is not used to attack and defend, and the situation is different, which is not the way to establish a country. Shang Yang's method seems to be able to enrich the country and strengthen the army, but it is the way to destroy the country and the root cause of the Qin Dynasty's death..." Ying Jieyan became anxious when he heard this, waved his hands repeatedly, and then preached to him.

Zhao Bing didn't know why the old man was so excited at first, but it was reasonable to listen carefully. The meaning was probably that for a country, it was a powerful thing for all the people to be soldiers in a special period, because of the strong ability to mobilize wars and high efficiency, the national system was war-oriented, and all wealth and classes were serving the war. Such a country was invincible in war, and it could only be a winner because it suppressed everything on the war and could not lose or afford to lose.

According to Zhao Bing's understanding, if he loses, he will airborne a management CEO to dismantle it, dismantle the militarist parts, and reorganize a normal country according to the "peaceful will". If he wins, the disadvantages will be great, because the wartime system will inevitably transform into a peaceful system, and the hidden contradictions and the game of interests between the real classes will break out at the moment the war is over.

Therefore, the essence of the Qin political system is a militarist country, which is born for war. The reason why Qin can rise rapidly into a force that scares the six countries. At first glance, the black clothes of the Qin army think that the god of death is coming. The reason is very simple. Qin makes a living by expanding externally, and every citizen of Qin is born for war. Class division is not based on honest labor and legal management, nor is it based on "fighting for fathers", but entirely on military merits - the number of beheadings.

Wealth and land were obtained through the number of murders, promotions and titles were granted through beheadings, and a large number of cultural and artistic works of Qin, including folk art, were all commending for soldiers, and the entire society had been brainwashed. Therefore, long after the Qin Dynasty was unified, it was actually in a state of war. Its military unity did not have a complete political system, nor a practical "law", nor a unified culture. The aristocrats of the six countries were still in power, and the power was not small. These old nobles, especially the old nobles of the Chu State, urgently needed to share power, so the Qin Dynasty certainly did not allow it.

The Qin Dynasty's county system realized centralization, which was the earliest centralization in China. It was immature because there was no imperial examination system at that time, not only ordinary people, but also nobles with certain strength, did not have a way to enter the core of power, so the rule of the Qin Dynasty was in danger. A mature national system must take into account the balance of interests in all aspects, especially those with certain strength, so that some of them could stand at the core of power, so that they could help the stability of the country.

"Your Majesty, don't be too worried, and things are not as difficult as Your Majesty thinks. Although the power to govern the country belongs to the chief minister, the power to appoint and remove the chief minister is in the hands of Your Majesty. Moreover, the chief minister has impeached the censors, and all officials will report it!" Ying Jieyan saw that the young emperor was worried and frowning, and obviously became angry and said with a smile.

"Oh, Jiang is still old, I am really confused!" Zhao Bing smiled and patted his brains. The laws of the Song Dynasty were the separation of the government and the censors, and people often compared "ruling" with "cursors". It can be seen that there is a very clear sense of decentralization: "Everything in the world is entrusted to govern"; "Once the censors listed their crimes, the censors lost several mistakes, even if the elders and famous scholars and the emperors were favored by the rituals, they were also called sick and given a punishment."
