Zhao Kuangyin said half curious and half funny: "Since you have a way to achieve both ends, you might as well tell me."

Anyway, he started to start, so Sun Yue simply relied on the four words "Children's Words" and said: "The official, I think the master's words are all right, but there are two more words to add to the strong and weak branches."

"What word?"

"Solid roots."

"Solid roots?"

"Yes, I think that only when a big tree is deeply rooted can withstand the wind and rain. Even if the nutrition cannot keep up with it and the trunk cannot grow, as long as the roots are still there, there is no fear that the tree will fall."

Zhao Kuangyin was quite curious about this statement and said, "It's interesting, let's talk about it in detail."

"Yes, the official family asked before, why has the world never been so chaotic since history? I think this is still based on the military system. Before the middle Tang Dynasty, there were no professional soldiers or very few professional soldiers. Whether it was the military merit system in the Qin Dynasty, the good family system of the Han and Jin Dynasty, or the government system in the Sui and Tang Dynasty, they were essentially a military aristocratic system. This system, the Chinese people have already figured out the rules of this system for thousands of years. Although there is no permanent dynasty, everyone generally knows how to play it. According to the experience of their predecessors, as long as the official family is not stupid, the national lineage can always last for a while."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded, expressed his approval, and signaled him to continue.

"Whether it is the government soldiers in the Sui and Tang dynasties or good families in the Han and Jin dynasties, they are called the conscript system. The essence of this conscript system is actually based on land, honor and title as the basis to inspire soldiers. When the country was first established, when the country was founded, it generally had more land and titles, and people in the world also attached great importance to honor. As long as the power of a few military nobles is balanced, the emperor can rest assured. As time goes by, the land will inevitably become less and less, and titles will become more and more excessive, and titles will always be worthless in peacetime, so the military system will collapse, and the collapse of the military system is the biggest reason for the destruction of the country in all dynasties."

Zhao Kuangyin pulled down his beard when he heard it. Although he had no education before, he had never left the book in the past two years as an emperor. He read a lot of Confucian classics and listened to many lectures taught by famous teachers and scholars. Others said that the country was destroyed due to the reasons for benevolence, not rituals and music, and even summarized it into the number of days. Although Zhao Kuangyin sometimes thought it was nonsense, everyone said so, and gradually he believed it a little.

Today, when I heard Sun Yue say this, I suddenly felt enlightened. This is much more straightforward than benevolence, morality, etiquette, music, etc. The so-called benevolence, or a wise ruler and good minister, all I can do is to delay this process.

If you say this to those great scholars who have read the books of sages for life, they will probably sneer at it and treat it as nonsense. However, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu are pure soldiers who started as personal soldiers, and the other is pure real officials who started as minor officials. They even nodded frequently and urged him to continue to say it quickly.

Seeing that the two audiences seemed to cooperate, Sun Yue felt a little relieved and his thoughts became clearer. He continued to talk: "Since the mid-Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian began. With the implementation of the imperial examinations and the establishment of the poor world system, military aristocrats have disappeared. With a series of productivity changes such as land reclamation, crop innovation, and Jiangnan development, the recruitment system has begun. The army and the civilians have been clearly separated for the first time. This is an unprecedented military system. People are still using the old method to manage it, so there will naturally be problems."

"Simply put, in the past, during the conscript, the grassroots soldiers obeyed their clans and the village chiefs, and such a small group obeyed local regiments. Most of the local regiments came from military aristocrats, such as the Tang Dynasty's Suwei and the Han Dynasty's Liang family. Because the forces of these military aristocrats were all in a mess, the officials, as long as they did not commit suicide like Emperor Yang of Sui, were determined to fight against the aristocrats of the whole world, it would be difficult for these military aristocrats to unite."

"But the recruitment system is different now. The grassroots soldiers obey the commander, the battalion commander, and the battalion commander, and the commander obeys the commander. After layer by layer, the soldiers only know the generals on their heads but not the official family on their heads. This has led to the so-called situation where the arrogant soldiers drive the commander and the fierce generals chase the king. If the emperor still follows the previous arrangement, the emperor will stare at the powerful general, in fact, the ministers think it will not be of much use, because it is the same as a general. What determines the relationship between the monarch and the minister is not whether the minister is brave, but whether the king has an opportunity to take advantage of it. Of course, layers of constraints make the generals not know the soldiers and the generals, which is also a good method. If the army is so troublesome that even the official family itself is overwhelmed by the layers of personnel and personnel, naturally no one will rebel. But if the army really develops to that point, even the millions of troops will probably only be used as millions of pigs."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded after hearing this. It was not a fierce general but a king who decided the relationship between the king and the minister. He was so touched by this sentence. You must know that three years ago, Zhao Kuangyin was nothing. Not to mention the older military governors, Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin among the imperial guards, no one is more experienced and prestige than him. As a result, Chai Rong threw Li Chongjin to Yangzhou before he died. Zhang Yongde even asked him to get out of here, leaving him and Han Tong, who had a slightly less experienced, to be in charge, but what was the result?

Obviously, it was useless. Zhao Kuangyin did not think that he had robbed the Chai family of the country. Han Tong had to do this job if he didn't do it.

Sun Yue's words were very straightforward, so straightforward that they were all truthful, and there was no one at all, and he did not quote a word from a saint, such as benevolence and righteousness, and the number of days, but he felt enlightened. The scriptures felt that his words were more transparent than Zhao Pu.

"If you want to talk about the solution, you have to talk about the word "solid root" of Taoist ministers. The court is a tree, the place is a branch, and the center is a trunk. Then this root is the people of the world. But it is too general to say that. The predecessors divided the people into four classes: scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, which is naturally correct. However, since the Middle Tang Dynasty, there has been a whole new class in the world, that is, soldiers. I think that as long as all soldiers recognize our great Song Dynasty, there are some ambitions of ghosts and monsters.

No matter how hard the soldiers are, they will be a clown. Similarly, if the soldiers are looking forward to changing dynasties than the head coach, it is like the official family. What is the use of the generals no matter how loyal they are? Therefore, I think that if the strong and weak branches only focus on the generals, and restricting the generals through layer by layer of repeated structures will not fundamentally solve the problem. It is not so much restricting the generals, but I think it is better to say that they have been abolishing their martial arts."
