When Zhang Dun passed by Sansheng Building in a carriage, he remembered that he had been busy for a long time and hadn't drunk the medicinal soup here, so he ordered the car to stop and walk into the building alone.

The building was almost full of diners, but Zhang Dun used to sit by the window and was still empty. It was thought that Yang Yi's concubine left it with special order. Zhang Dun couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Yang Yi, a concubine named Han, was really good-minded. This seat was always empty for him, which seemed a waste, but as long as you reveal some vague news, it would be the best publicity effect.

Zhang Dun walked to the table together, and a maid came up to help him pull the chair open, asking him in a respectful and sweet voice what he wanted to eat, giving him a feeling of being bathed in the chun wind.

A good-family woman went to the teahouse and tavern to serve tea and water to the guests in exchange for some small money to supplement her family income. This phenomenon occurs in various restaurants in Tokyo; but like Sanshenglou, all the waiters are looking for young women with high-end appearances to serve as the role. It is really this one, and there is no branch.

Zhang Dun ordered two side dishes and one soup, and then sat in front of the window and tasted it slowly.

In the pavilion hidden by flowers and trees, several scholars were talking about poetry and papers, and only a scholar in blue robe chanted with wine:

The three passes of purple passes are separated, and the yellow dust is connected on all sides.

The Hu Ba Feng rises again, and the moon shines on Han is still empty.

The mess is still following the horse, and the depression is shaking the wind.

The general should not wipe it and leave some red battle robe.

The scholar in the blue robe chanted the wine and chanted, and a cheer came from the pavilion. Another scholar wearing a purple Confucian robe immediately stood up and chanted:

The young horse responds to the star in the morning, and the golden tiger and leopard are in the green.

The grass is short, and the peach blossoms are new.

The cave is frozen in the Great Wall, and the hooves pass through the dust of the desert.

After hundreds of battles, the river channel will be connected, and the success will be completed.

For a moment, the pavilion cheered again. It was not until the maid in the building went up to say something that the cheers in the pavilion became less. Zhang Dun couldn't help but smiled bitterly when he saw this. These two poems were said to be Yang Yi's new work, and the speed of spreading ahead was faster than the battle report.

It is said that this time Yang Yi wrote nine frontier poems in one breath. Unconsciously, under the influence of Yang Yi, it became a trend for the scholars in Beijing to write frontier poems.

Even Su Mingpei, the famous lady in Yilufang, stopped singing softly, and instead sang the frontier poem, which made people feel very moved.

These frontier poems, in line with the current war process in full swing everywhere in the Song Dynasty, can easily make you feel excited and your mind go all the way. Don’t underestimate these poems. Once they have spread among the people, going to the frontier to open up the territory and make achievements has become the wish of many scholars.

Zhang Dun was worried about this matter. His eldest grandson, Zhang Yao, has been clamoring to go out of the Congjun for a while.

In addition to the impact on studying, these poems spread among the people, which greatly improved the people's view of the original "thieves are tyrants and soldiers" and the people no longer felt ashamed of being a soldier.

In the two years when the military conscription method was started, the court almost used the method of forced conscription to conquer troops.

Now that they have not yet arrived at the recruitment of soldiers, many young and strong people have already joined the recruitment offices of previous years to ask when the recruitment will be. In the past few years, many names have become legends, such as Li Yizhong, Bao Yi, Yang Zhi, etc. A few years ago, most of them were just small soldiers, but after a few years of war, they have been promoted to the position of commander and commander with their real military achievements. This has made many brave men of the people admire them, and they want to join the army and make achievements.

All these things have greatly improved the status of military generals, and Zhang Dun is still a little contradictory to the improvement of the status of military generals; he himself is an authentic civil servant, and from the bottom of his heart, he does not want to see the status of military generals be greatly improved.

The military rule of the Five Dynasties entered the dictatorship of the five dynasties in the late Tang Dynasty and frequent mutinies. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, they have been extremely afraid of this and have tried their best to lower their status as military generals. With the intention of excluding their covetousness, they regard promoting civil and suppressing military affairs as their basic national policy.

From Taizu's "release the power of military power with a cup of wine", dividing the power of the imperial guards and commanders, to implementing the "renewal law", the soldiers do not know the generals and generals do not know the soldiers, until they develop to the point where the imperial court must give formation maps and orders according to the map.

Since its establishment, only two military generals have served as Privy Councilors, one is Cao Bin and the other is Di Qing. Even these two people were suspicious of civil officials in the court. For example, Di Qing was even Pang Ji, Ouyang Xiu and others also tried his best to rebel. Di Qing was dismissed from Privy Councilors because of the jealousy.

It can be said that suppressing military generals has always been a consensus among civil officials in the court, and it was not Zhang Dun who thought this way as soon as he entered.

But Zhang Dun himself led his troops to fight wars. He knew that the suppression of military generals was too great, which was also very unfavorable to the country. The defeat of Shenzong in the five routes of the attack on Xia was not because the Song army was less powerful than the Xia army, but because there was a problem in appointing generals. Just look at what the chief generals of the five routes of the army were entering at that time. One relative Gao Zunyu, two eunuchs Li Xian and Wang Zhongzheng, and only Zhong Yan and Liu Changzuo were military generals. These two routes were also under Gao Zunyu and Li Xian.

This is a kind

Because of this, Liu Changzuo broke through the Lingzhou city gate but was stopped, which eventually led to the failure of the five routes to attack Xia.

These lessons are painful. Zhang Dun is very clear about the problem. Now the Song Dynasty is trying hard to expand its territory. If the status of military generals is suppressed in this way, there will definitely be problems.

On the one hand, he was afraid that the status of military generals would lead to separatist such as the late Tang and Five Dynasties, and on the other hand, he was worried that the status of military generals would be too suppressed and the military would be shrinking. This contradiction has always been lingering in Zhang Dun's mind.

Yang Yi is now vigorously promoting it from all aspects, and his intention to improve his position in martial arts is self-evident. Moreover, he has done a very successful job. He uses his great military achievements and poems that have spread their lives one by one, subtly embodying the concepts of the people of the Song Dynasty.

These methods are like water seeping into sand, and they can unknowingly break the original barriers to suppress the entry of martial arts.

While Zhang Dun admired his methods, he also secretly became aware that will Yang Yi do this eventually make the generals on an equal footing with civil officials? Will the military enters the army become a hidden danger that is too big to lose?

A few scholars chanted one or two frontier poems, which seemed ordinary, but as prime minister, Zhang Dun thought a lot, and these were things he had to think twice about.

How can we achieve a balance between the two without letting the generals harm the country or the military shrink? Zhang Dun was drinking the soup while silently thinking that maybe he should have a good talk with Yang Yi.

At this moment, a guard hurried in and approached Zhang Dun's ear and whispered: "Duke, there is an urgent report from the Western Regions. Empress Dowager Liu asked you to go to the Political Affairs Hall to discuss matters quickly."

Zhang Dun asked calmly: "Did you say what's going on?"

"The eunuch who was passing the message mentioned that it was the Xizhou Uighurs who suddenly withdrew their troops, but Yao Xiong was defeated in the city of Suzhou, and he didn't say much about the rest."

Zhang Dun then got up and went out to get on the car, and headed straight to the Secretariat. The Uighurs in Xizhou suddenly withdrew their troops. Why did they withdrew their troops?

The Uighurs in Xizhou retreated, and Yao Xiong was defeated in the city of Suzhou. What was going on?

Zhang Dun was thinking a lot. When he was not at ease, he could see how much pressure he had been under in recent years.
