In January, Datong.

The first heavy snow fell from the sky this winter, and the mountains, rivers and grasslands were covered with white silver makeup, which was particularly enchanting.

Wang stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back, silently looking at the flying snowflakes. The cold wind roared and his clothes were tilted. His handsome face turned pale because of the cold. His pair of aurasy eyes were like a gray sky, hazy and blurred.

It is the same thing to go north to Datong, but it is another thing to go north to Datong. He is the royal family king, Li Hu is the king of a different surname; he holds military power in the northwest, and Li Hu has an army of 200,000 under Li Hu; Bian Jing can deprive him of military power at any time, while Li Hu is domineering the north of Daibei and looks proud of the world, and no one can regret it. In terms of strength, Prince Yun dares not compare with Li Hu, but Prince Yun is the prince of the Song Dynasty, has noble bloodline and prominent status, is one of the strong competitors of the heirs of the Song Dynasty, a well-deserved king, and a proud son of heaven who is holding the moon. However, after he arrived in Datong, he did not feel the respect and absolute power that the king should enjoy, which made him begin to think about the correctness of the strategy of going north.

The king grew up with pampering and praise. Since he could remember, he had no second brother, only his elder brother, but his elder brother was introverted and mediocre, so the talented Prince Yun became the emperor's pearl of his hand and was spoiled. His relationship with his elder brother has always been good, but as his elder brother entered the Eastern Palace, this intimate brotherhood was gone forever, and the initiator was their father. Because of his own preferences, his own personality, his contempt and ignorance of the law of the ancestors caused by this personality, he planted the seeds of father and son and brothers' slaughter. Now, this seed has sprouted and blossomed, and has produced a bad result that is enough to harm the country's destiny.

How long is this time? It only took ten years, from Zhao Heng's entry into the Eastern Palace to now, it has only been ten years. The ten-year battle for imperial rule has finally triggered a huge crisis today. Is this crisis enough to destroy the Zhao Dynasty?

This is what the king is most afraid of. Because the battle between the imperial unity forced him to a dead end, he had to fight back because he was desperate, but the purpose of the counterattack was to survive, to seize the imperial unity, not to destroy everything.

What method can be used to achieve the goal? We must firmly control the overall situation and control the development of the situation. To do this, we must have absolute power. However, whether in Taiyuan or Datong, the king cannot control power. He is like a small boat above the waves, and can only look at the surging torrent under the boat with helplessness, helplessness, and leave it to fate.

The Great Marshal's Office in Taiyuan is in charge of the military affairs of the northwest. There are the Yunzhong Road System Division, the Shaanxi Xuanfu Division, and the Northwest General Division, especially the Hedong Road. Its General Division is controlled by the Xuanfu Division of the Yanshan Road, Hebei, and at the same time obeys the order of the Great Marshal's Office. From the perspective of the Great Song military system, all the General Divisions are controlled by the three central government offices. Therefore, the military command system in the entire northwest is very complex and chaotic. Prince Yun has not yet figured out what the power of the Great Marshal's Office of the Northwest is and how great it is.

It is not difficult to see from this that the inability of Prince Yun to effectively control power is not because of his personal reasons, nor because of the various commanders in the northwest, but because of the Song Dynasty's rule. The essence of the Song Dynasty rule is mutual restraint. The means of mutual restraint are decentralization and the ultimate goal of decentralization is to centralize power and to monopolize power. The emperor is just a person, staying in the palace every day to read memorials and report, how many things can he solve? Therefore, the emperor's power is ultimately exercised by the center and the east and west governments. The institutional settings of the center and the east and west governments are also based on the principle of mutual restraint. Therefore, the Song Dynasty from top to bottom, from military to political affairs, all levels of institutions are bloated and huge, with overlapping and complex powers. This situation can still be safe and sound in peacetime. At worst, there are many officials and low efficiency in work, but in war or in troubled times, this is a fatal key.

Wang has now experienced this fatal terrible point, which directly hinders the implementation of his strategy.

Going north to Datong is a very complicated thing. Prince Yun was prepared and had great hope. But when he arrived in Datong, facing a woman, a beautiful woman holding great power, who was in charge of the military, political and local people of the Hulie Mansion, the king suddenly felt fear. The fear penetrated his bones, causing him a lot of pain and heart-wrenching pain.

Among the northern foreign countries, especially in the Great Liao Kingdom, the harem has a very high status and often holds power. The most famous one is Xiao Chuo, the empress of Emperor Jingzong of the Great Liao Dynasty, who was called Empress Dowager Chengtian in history. During her 20 years of regent, she repeatedly attacked the Song Dynasty and eventually forced the Song Dynasty to sign the Chanyuan Alliance. This Empress Dowager Xiao was once a nightmare for the Song people, and until today, the Song people still felt scared when they mentioned her.

The Song Dynasty's legal system strictly prohibited the harem from interfering in politics, but in special circumstances, the empress dowager still had to be regent. Therefore, Prince Yun did not exclude the Han princess taking charge of the power of the Hulie Mansion under such special circumstances. However, this princess was very strong, and her aggressive aura once made Prince Yun helpless. It was obvious that it was obvious that Prince Yun was at a loss.

If you want to control the Hu Lie Mansion, or if you want to command the Hu Lie Mansion with your arms, it may be true.

The king could not control the generals of the northwest, and when he arrived in Datong, he could not control the Hulie Mansion. So what else could he do? He could only be a puppet, allowing the Hulie Mansion and the Northwest General to control his destiny, but the king was unwilling to be a puppet. Since the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the disaster of the vassal states has lasted for more than two hundred years, and generations of emperors have become puppets in the hands of the vassal states. The past is still vivid in my mind. How would Prince Yun repeat the same mistake?

The king was shaken, but Tong Guan was as stable as Mount Tai.

Tong Guan comforted the king that in this world, anyone should pursue the maximization of interests when doing anything. The disasters of the vassal states have been harmed by bloody lessons in history, especially during the Five Dynasties, dynasties changed like a lantern, which was dazzling. The fundamental reason was that the military people had military power. When Chenqiao mutiny was in a yellow robe, it was the same to put it bluntly. Therefore, after Taizu established the country, he released the military power with a cup of wine, used culture to control the military, and fundamentally eliminated the disaster of the vassal states, and thus obtained a

More than a hundred years of peace. How many civil and military generals have benefited from the peace over a hundred years of peace? Li Hu is a smart man, and the Northwest Generals are also the beneficiary of the Song system. The reason why Li Hu joined the Song Dynasty and the Northwest Generals supported Prince Yun was to pursue the maximization of interests. If he wanted to maximize interests, he first needed a peaceful kingdom and a powerful dynasty. From this point of view, it is not difficult to imagine that neither Li Hu nor the Northwest Generals would want to destroy the Song Dynasty, nor would he be willing to usher in a chaotic world with continuous wars.

The king's goal is the imperial throne. Prince Yun seized the imperial throne and became the emperor. Of course, he had to work hard to govern, stabilize and strengthen the kingdom. Li Hu and the Northwest General Sect helped Prince Yun seize the imperial throne, with the same goal, but he hoped to seek the greatest benefit for himself while enriching the country and strengthening the people. Therefore, Prince Yun and Li Hu and the Northwest General Sect have the same fundamental interests. On the basis of consistent interests, the contradictions in the cooperation between the three parties can be effectively resolved. The key is that the three parties must trust each other. In the future, the king will be the emperor and the king. If the king wants to be supported by his ministers, he must first give his ministers trust. I treat others with sincerity, and people will treat me with sincerity.

Tong Guan said something big, but Prince Yun could understand it, but could he do it? He grew up in the intrigue environment of Bian Jing, and he could treat people with sincerity? For him, he hoped that people would treat him with sincerity and give him power, so that he could treat people with sincerity. In fact, this was impossible. The strength of the Princess of the Han Dynasty made Prince Yun frightened, and even Tong Guan felt a threat that was imminent.

Tong Guan accompanied Prince Yun to Datong and received a high-standard reception.

The last time Li Hu married the Princess of Xixia, Prince Yun came once. Hu Lie Mansion treated the King with the treatment of the royal family. This time, Hu Lie Mansion received the King with a higher standard, which made Prince Yun feel like he was a crown prince, but soon, this beautiful feeling was shattered by Luo Sinan.

Wang and Tong Guan made changes to the military deployment of Hu Lie Mansion. Although the two of them did not mention the ultimate goal, Luo Sinan and a group of central officials of Hu Lie Mansion immediately understood the reason. Prince Yun had already decided to seize the imperial unity. However, Prince Yun seized the imperial unity at the expense of the Hu Lie Mansion. Before Hu Lie Mansion received the king's promise and compensation for the interests of the king, Hu Lie Mansion would never sacrifice its own interests, so Luo Sinan refused.

Luo Sinan resolutely refused to make concessions, resolutely guarded Fengshengzhou with the main force, resolutely ensured the safety of Juyongguan, and resolutely helped Guo Yaoshi defend Yanjing. For Hulie Mansion, ensuring Yanyun's safety can ensure his own interests. This is the bottom line and cannot be shaken.

The king's strategy coincided with Li Hu's new strategy, but the two had different goals. However, Luo Sinan's defense strategy went against Li Hu's new strategy. On the one hand, it was to deliberately conceal the new strategy of Hu Lie Mansion, and on the other hand, it was to force Prince Yun to make concessions in interests.

Do the king dare to make concessions? He dare not. He has nothing now, and he even dares to make promises. He cannot trust the Hulien Mansion, and he cannot treat others with sincerity. Therefore, when he came to Datong, he made a fortune.

Is Hu Lie Mansion willing to lose its own interests? Of course not. If Prince Yun fails, Hu Lie Mansion will suffer too much, so Hu Lie Mansion must go south and develop in the Song Dynasty. This is also the fundamental purpose of Li Hu's new strategy.

According to the king's request, Hu Lie Mansion wanted to give up Fengshengzhou. In fact, it was equivalent to giving up Youyan. If Youyan was lost, Datong would be in danger. Although the Hu Lie Army could defend Datong in the end, the loss must be compensated, otherwise the survival of Hu Lie Mansion would become a problem. If the king fails or betrays his faith, then Hu Lie Mansion would be over.
