Chapter 140: The Greatest Party Contest Poem Case

Zhao Xu's decree was soon passed to the Political Affairs Hall.

Such obvious intention to stand up for Zhang Dun and support him quickly went wrong during the discussions between officials from the three provinces in the Political Affairs Hall.

"Does the official family mean to change it back?"

"I think it should be changed back. It was the reform during the Yuanfeng period that led to the current difficulties. We must be changed back and restored to the ancestral system!"

"I don't think so. Maybe we were sent back to the three provinces and focused on handling affairs. Now the political affairs hall is irresistible..."

"I feel that the government may be asking the second wife to return the second wife. Now there are no leaders in the three provinces. This is for the second wife to see and give them a step forward!"

"No, right, the official's decree is clearly to strengthen the authority of the three provinces and handle government affairs as soon as possible. Now government affairs are too slow..."

There are dozens of people in the Political Affairs Hall in the Three Provinces, not only the "new and old" parties, but many other parties have expressed their opinions, and there are constant noise.

In Su Song's pay room.

Jiang Jing looked at Su Song and said, "My dear, there are indeed many things that have been delayed in the three provinces at present. In addition to affairs in various places, there are also preparations for Huanqing Road, the lists of court officials appointed by the government and the lists formulated by Zhang Xianggong and others have been put on hold."

Jiang Jing said, handing over a list.

Su Song just glanced lightly and knew that this was left by Lu Dafang.

Su Song silently said, "Things during the Shenzong period were not feasible in Yuanyou. Let me give them a message, if you want to stay, do things seriously, I will protect them. If you don't want to stay in Kaifeng, I will transfer them out and continue to get responsibilities, and the consequences will be self-reported."

Jiang Jing didn't know what Su Song and Zhao Xu were talking about, and hesitated: "My husband, they are all the backbone of the three provinces and their position is critical."

There are many meanings in this sentence, such as these people are the backbone of the three provinces, how could they ask for "exiled" to go out of Beijing? Their position is important and they will not give up easily; for example, these people are helpless now, and Su Song can completely take them under his command!

Su Song could hear it, and said with a blank expression, "Just go and say it. In order to order the three provinces, six ministries and seven temples, discuss the will of the officials, and within two days, it will be summarized into the Political Affairs Hall."

Jiang Jing didn't dare to say much and said, "Yes."

"Bring the door with you." Su Song said.

Jiang Jing quickly responded.

Jiang Jing left Su Song's office, and the several rooms in the Political Affairs Hall were still noisy and boiling. The two parties' daily fights were fought back and forth, and it was very lively.

Outside the palace, Zhao Xu's decree had been spread, and this decree slightly suppressed the popularity of Lu Dafang's case.

More people came outside Fan Bailu and Fan Chunren's mansion, eagerly hoping that the second Mr. Fan could "return to the court".

Green tiled house.

After finishing up what was in his hand, Cai Bian saw Zhang Dun sitting upright, with a cold and hard face on his face, touched the Triangle Hu and said, "The official family has stood up for you, so be patient."

Zhang Dun wrote quickly and said, "Cai Que, did Han Zhen write to you?"

Cai Bian said: "I should have written it to you too. They hope that I will recommend them to the government to return to the court."

Among the people Zhao Xu recalled, the most important ones were Zhang Dun, Cai Bian, Zeng Bu, Cai Que, Han Zhen and other former "huns" were not listed.

Zhang Dun wrote, looked at the handwriting that was not dry, and said, "It's all treacherous. Why do you think of me so confused? Don't recommend it now."

Cai Bian heard it and his brows frowned slightly.

Zhang Dun's words sounded harsh at first glance, but they were very meaningful when they thought about it carefully. Cai Que and Han Zhen were both reformists and were once powerful. Even if there were any rift, Zhang Dun would not call them "treacherous".

Immediately, Cai Bian thought of something, looked shocked and said, "You want to reverse the Che Gaiting Shi case?"

The Che Gaiting Poetry Case is a replica of Su Shi’s “Wutai Poetry Case”, and its essence is the same: party struggles.

At the beginning of Yuanyou, Empress Dowager Gao ruled the country from behind the curtain, and Cai Que, the prime minister of the reform faction, was quickly demoted from the capital. After several twists and turns, the governor of Anzhou was magistrate and wrote ten seven-character quatrains at Chegaiting Pavilion in Anzhou.

Some people impeached these ten poems, "The five chapters in the inner are all involved in ridicule, and the two chapters are even more ridicule, and the emperor and his relatives are the emperor's relatives," "The Empress Dowager Tai competes with Wu Zetian, and his heart is unpredictable."

How could Empress Dowager Gao bear these "crimes"? Sima Guang and others took this opportunity to thoroughly clean up the "New Party".

Cai Que, Zhang Dun and Han Zhen were criticized as "three traitors" and were all exiled. Most of the other "new parties" were demoted in half a year, expelled from the court, and exiled to Lingnan.

The Che Gaiting Poetry Case is the most widely used and strongest in the struggle between the cliques since the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty. There are nearly a thousand officials involved in this!

Never before!

Cai Bian's expression gradually became dark when he remembered the old things.

He had already guessed what Zhang Dun was going to do.

Zhang Dun wanted to overturn the case of the "Che Gaiting Poetry Case", which was a complete denial of the Empress Dowager, Sima Guang and others. Yuanyou was only seven years away from now, and except for the ones who died of old age, most of them are still there.

In this reversal, the "old party" was gone and the "new party" came back!

But this movement is really too big!

Cai Bian pondered over and said, "You should be careful about the Che Gaiting Poem case. Even if the Empress Dowager removes the curtain, it will be the Empress Dowager."

Zhang Dun's eyes flashed coldly and said, "You stare at the court, I will do other things. That Ma Yan wants to request an external transfer, so be sure."

Cai Bian has now taken the Censorate, and Ma Yan, the Chief Censor, seems extremely embarrassed. His position is not on Zhao Xu's side. The government and the country are obviously in a resurgence of party struggles. It is a big whirlpool, so it is normal to ask for it.

Cai Bian looked at Zhang Dun and said, "Who do you want to recommend?"

Zhang Dun looked at the written memorial, put it together, turned around and handed it to Cai Bian, and said, "You can take it to Your Majesty, and let me talk about borrowing money by the way."

In principle, the inner treasury is a royal private treasury. The court has always "borrowed" and has to pay back it.

Cai Bian took it and looked at it. When he saw the name of "Huang Lu", he frowned. When Zhang Dun stood up, he asked, "What are you going to do?"

Zhang Dun looked dull and said, "The rainy season is coming soon, I'll go out of the city to have a look."

Cai Bian then felt at ease, picked up the memorial and said, "I'll go to see the official family now."

Two people are one in front and one behind, one facing south and the other facing north.

Cai Bian, heading north, walked towards the Chugong Hall not far away.

Zhao Xu was reviewing the memorials, and he was getting more and more involved, and he also felt the cumbersomeness of these memorials. Usually, his writing is brilliant and his long speech is actually just a matter of two or three sentences, and there are some strange "greetings". It is not right to reply, nor is it not right to reply.

"See the official family." Cai Bian entered the Chugong Hall and saluted.

Zhao Xu put down his pen and said with a smile: "Cai Qing's family is here, come, bring a chair for Cai Qing's family."

Cai Bian already knew Zhao Xu a little, and after thanking him, she sat down cautiously, musing and said, "Officials, I have a few things to report to you."

Zhao Xu took the teacup of tangerine peel, looked at Cai Bian, and said, "Pour one for Cai Qing's family, and continue talking."

Cai Bian hurriedly bowed to thank him, and then slowly said: "The first is about Your Majesty's will. The three provinces have indeed delayed it. I have discussed with Mr. Zhang that the three provinces should cut off redundancy and improve the speed of doing things."

Zhao Xu had an idea about the three sectors, so he took a sip of tea and said, "This is a must. I will discuss it in detail when they come up with the book."

Cai Bian responded, lowered his head, and did not look at Zhao Xu. His tone seemed calm but was actually cautious, and said, "Second, it was the Blue House just now. I was worried that I would be unable to stop it."

Zhao Xu said oh, with a playful look on his face, and said with a smile: "Why, Mr. Zhang finally can't help it?"

Cai Bian's triangular Hu moved, and then he realized that the official family seemed to have been waiting for Zhang Dun to take action.

Cai Bian's face was slightly sluggish, his butt moved, and he bowed more and more, saying, "The government, the party fights against the country and the people, and this fight will continue endlessly. Sooner or later, major events will happen. I ask the government to stop both sides. The court should be the most important thing."

Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Cai Bian's expression, picked up the teacup again, and smiled leisurely, "What do you want to do with Xianggong Zhang?"

Cai Bian did not hide it, and told him his guess, "Mr. Zhang wants to overturn the case of the 'Che Gaiting Poetry Case'."

"Che Gaiting Ting Poetry Case?"

Zhao Xu was stunned. He had read a lot of information recently and had a vague impression. He stood up, searched through the bookcase, pulled out a large stack of information, walked back without raising his head, and said, "Continue talking."

Cai Bian's feet moved a little uneasy and said, "The Che Gaiting Poetry Case involves too many people. In addition to the ministers of Xining's reform, there are also the three wise men, Sima Guang, Fan Chunren and Han Wei, as well as many powerful people in the dynasty, involving hundreds of people..."

Zhang Dun wanted to overturn the case of the "Che Gaiting Poetry Case", but not only to cleanse up his reputation as the "three traitors" but the most direct purpose is to cleanse up the "old party"!

Zhao Xu listened and was also flipping through the information. As he looked, he frowned.

The "Che Gaiting Poetry Case" sounds very complicated, but its essence is "party struggle". In addition to involving Sima Guang and Lu Gongzhu and other "virtuous prime ministers", the most important figure is Empress Dowager Gao!

Zhao Xu looked at it slowly, and his expression gradually became quiet and silent.

What Zhang Dun wants to do is really amazing!

According to his ideas, not only would he deny Empress Dowager Gao, Sima Guang and others, but he would also turn the inside and outside the court into a huge upside down!

In the current Song Dynasty, wind is leaking from all directions and rain comes from all directions. Not only can it stand up to the trouble, but it will disrupt Zhao Xu's existing plans!

Zhao Xu quickly finished reading the 'Che Gaiting Poetry Case', closed it slowly, thought for a moment, looked at Cai Bian, and said, "Cai Qing's family, what's the third thing?"

Seeing that Zhao Xu did not mention Zhang Dun, Cai Bian frowned and let go. He paused and said, "Go back to the official family, it is about the flood flood this year. It has been flooding all these years, and the people are displaced, and the court has to spend a lot of effort to provide disaster relief. Zhang Xianggong and his ministers thought about taking some control and working hard to rectify the floods after the year has come. Zhang Xianggong has already left the city and went to inspect all places."

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, looked up at the outside, and said, "The rainy season is indeed coming soon. I have ordered the Ministry of Works to do it before. The matter of river management will be led by the Political Affairs Hall, executed by Cai Qing's family, headed by the Ministry of Works, all along the river, assistant to the prefectures and counties, and the Censorate will be responsible for supervision. If you find someone pulling his back and deducting the money for river management, you will deal with it strictly, seriously and quickly!"

Cai Bian bowed and said, "I obey the order. In addition, the treasury has no money or food due to the corruption cases of the Three Divisions and other departments, plus the military pay of Huanqing Road. I asked the government to open the inner treasury and wait for the Xia tax to come back to the national treasury."

Zhao Xu looked at Cai Bian with a calm expression, then looked at his subordinate's information on the "Che Gaiting Poetry Case", patted his palm gently, and suddenly turned to the tangerine peel on the left hand side, and said, "How many more are there in Nei Curry?"

Chen Pi was stunned. Shouldn’t this official know very well? He was still watching the audit of the internal warehouse in the study last night.

Looking at Zhao Xu's expression, Chen Pi suddenly understood and said calmly: "I returned to the official family, I originally had more than two million guan, and I gave the Ministry of Revenue one million guan as military pay for Huanqing Road. There is not much left for the Queen Mother Xiang to take care of the funeral and the palace."

After waiting for a while, Chen Pi said again: "The case of Lu Dafang has not been settled yet, and the proceeds of the confiscation are still being settled and have not been entered into the treasury."
