Funing Hall.
As soon as Liu Congde and Liu Congguang stepped in, Li Jie received the news.
They entered the palace through the inner east gate. The inner east gate was an important gate for the emperor to enter and exit, as well as the living area for the concubines, and was an important gate in the palace.
Entering the inner east means going deep into the forbidden area.
Therefore, the inner east gate of the palace was set up at the inner east gate. All matters such as the entrance and exit of the palace, the entry of documents, and the construction of the inner palace were all handled by the inner east gate manager.
Uchitō Monji's position is quite important, so Li Jie will of course place his own people there.
Although the position assigned is not high, it is not difficult to pass on the news that so-and-so has entered the palace.
Upon learning that the brothers Liu Congde and Liu Congguang had entered in a hurry, Li Jie immediately knew that the plan had worked.
The person who informed Liu Congde was specially sent by Li Jie.
The purpose is to knock down the mountain and shake the tiger.
Although he does not intend to make the assassination public, it does not mean that he will do nothing.
At least Liu E must be informed that something happened to the people she sent out.
Let Liu E get into a mess first.

The next day.
Yiying Pavilion.
It’s time to give lectures again. Today’s lecturer is Sun Shi’s disciple Feng. The lecturer has changed, and the content has also changed.
Today Feng Yuan is talking about "The Analects of Confucius".
Feng Yuan was also an old acquaintance of Li Jie. As early as the 9th year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1016), Zhenzong ordered Zhongshu to be "Shouchun County" to select staff, and Wang Dan recommended Feng Yuan.
However, Feng Yuan was too young at that time, and Zhenzong felt that it was not suitable for him, so he changed Cui Zundu to "Shouchun County, friend".
(Cui Zundu and Zhang Shixun were selected at the same time)
Two years later, Cui Zundu fell ill, and Feng Yuan took Cui Zundu's place.
Doing the math, Li Jie and Feng Yuan have known each other for more than four years.
Because, compared to Sun, the relationship between Li Jie and Feng Yuan is definitely closer.
After the class, Li Jie asked a question during the Q&A period.
"First, Li Jiqian repeatedly violated the borders and died. His son Li Deming also did so repeatedly."
"Although Li Deming has claimed his innocence, can the mistakes he made in the past be written off?"
Hearing this, Feng Yuanxian said, "Today we are talking about the Analects of Confucius for politics. Why did the officials ask about Zhao Deming?"
(Li Deming was given the national surname ' by Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, so he was called Zhao De. They are the same person)
"Young Master," Feng Yuan came back to his senses and said slowly.
"This is an ancestral story (Fadu), for Dangxiang and other barbarians, Yizu Zeng, let the local tyrants be subdued by everyone, and sealed them with their states and towns.
Taizong also said that the Qiang people's birds of prey can only be restrained by their strings, so they cannot be controlled. "(jisi: meaning to contain)
", "Sun Tzu's Art of War" says, attack with the upper troops, attack with the second troops, attack with the second troops, and attack the city with the lower troops."
"Restraint is to suppress foreign enemies. Without spending a single soldier, Yan Ran can be captured in the border areas."
The general meaning of Feng Yuan's words is that the policy of appeasement is a national policy established by the ancestors of Fa, Tai, and Taizong.
Although these are indeed things, they are somewhat embellished.
The reason why Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty adopted the method of appeasement was because Taizu had no control over the Qiang people in the northwest. ….

At that time, the Jinghu area, Shu area, Jiangnan, Jinyang, and Guangdong and Guangxi areas were all in a state of local separatism.
These lands alone were enough for Song Taizu to keep busy. How could he have the time to care about the Northwest?
When it came to Song Taizong, although everything that should be unified was unified, Song Taizong, who couldn't hold back his great achievements, forced his death.
The failure of the war also caused the imperial court to change its original strategy of conquest and shift from conquest to appeasement.
When Song Zhenzong succeeded him, he was even more afraid to use weapons.
After all, there is a lesson learned from the past, "If the wise gods, such as Tai, have not been able to do it, how could his son do it?"
Therefore, the strategy of restraining the emperor became the main method of dealing with foreign enemies in the early Song Dynasty.
If you can, it's best not to fight.
As long as I don't, no one can defeat me!
Ji, you can also euphemistically call it the strategy of attacking with soldiers.
Li Jie pretended to be puzzled and said: "If we don't spend a single soldier, then why is this dynasty in the northwest? (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 60 Ancestor Stories
Garrison the city, build the city, and dredge the trenches? "
This immediately stopped Feng Yuan.
It's not that he doesn't know the situation in the border areas, but he doesn't know how to answer the officials.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the imperial court is unwilling to do so, mostly because the war is too expensive and the risks are quite high.
Compared with taking the initiative to advance, defense costs much less money.
But it's not his place to say this.
After pondering the film, Feng Yuan replied.
"Son, if you don't have people, you don't know what you can do."
"The imperial court has had an appointment with the Qiang people for a long time."
"If you use the sword to seize it and build on the ground, this is abandoning the Ming Dynasty and peeking into the small. If the barbarians hear it, how should the court deal with it?"
Feng Yuan did not answer Li Jie's question directly, but from the perspective of ancestral law (peace agreement) and integrity, he warned Li that it was not advisable to use the knife without permission.
Hearing this, Li Jie seemed to understand and nodded.
His question just now, and his current expression, were just to pave the way for what was to come.
Feng Yuan's words are very consistent with his status as a scholar-official in the Song Dynasty.
But that's not what he wants.
If you seek peace through struggle, you will have peace; if you seek peace through compromise, you will have peace.
Peace is not achieved through begging, it is achieved through struggle and fighting!
Chan Yuanzhi, if the Liao Kingdom had not been defeated on the battlefield, would it have signed an alliance with the Song Dynasty?
If Song Zhenzong remains resolute and persists for a while without taking the initiative to attack, the Liao Kingdom will collapse without attacking.
It is the most ridiculous thing in the world to sign a piece of paper that is obviously superior to others!
If you want Zhao Deming to return completely, you can only use the hands of war. If you don't beat him, how can he return?
The current surrender is only in name, and the military power is not even handed over. What kind of surrender is it?
It's just superficial, just to give each other face.
In the evening, a decree was issued from the ban.
(Zhongshu: The edict has not been reviewed by Zhongshu)
, Rongzhou observed, General Zuowei knew that Cao Wei had come to the state to return to the court.
Everything Li Jie did in Yiying Pavilion today was to issue this edict.
The Cao family has now completely turned over, so recalling Cao is naturally the right thing to do.
After all, Laizhou is too far away from the capital. There are many correspondences, and some things must be decided by Cao Wei, the head of the family.
Therefore, in order to improve efficiency, Cao Wei must be recalled.
Li Jie summoned him back this time in the name of "asking". Cao Wei had been in charge of the border for more than thirty years and had been in charge of the imperial court several times. No one knew the situation in the northwest border better than him.
In addition, recalling Cao Wei this time was also a signal Li Jie sent to the military officials.
Officials attach great importance to border issues. .
