Zhang Dun and others were busy, and Zhao Xu came to the birthday palace.

Concubine Zhu was very happy to see Zhao Xu. While asking someone to arrange the matter, she pulled Zhao Xu down and said with a smile on her face, "Official family, Meiren Liu came to me just now and gave me a lot of things. I tell you, in the harem, you have to pay equal attention to the rain and dew, you have taken charge of the ruler, and you should have children..."

When Zhao Xu heard Concubine Zhu discussing this issue with him, he was somewhat uncomfortable and hurriedly said, "Little Mother, where is the Ten Sisters?"

Concubine Zhu waved her hand and said, "I'm going to play with Meiren Liu. Let me tell you, Meiren Liu is well-educated and well-reasoned, and has been in the palace since she was a child. She knows the roots and the bottom line, so don't neglect it..."

Zhao Xu couldn't get around, so he had to say, "Xiao Madam, didn't you like Meiren Meng before?"

Concubine Zhu glanced outside, hesitated, and whispered: "She is the Empress Dowager, I'm afraid she will harm you."

Zhao Xu smiled slightly, took Concubine Zhu's hand, and said, "Don't worry, little girl, I feel at ease."

Concubine Zhu looked at Zhao Xu, and when she saw that he was not fooling, she felt relieved. She looked outside again, hesitating more than before, and said, "November ago, the emperor passed by later. Although she did not say it explicitly, I feel that she came for the King of Yan."

Zhao Xu could guess this and smiled calmly: "What did you say specifically, I will repeat it to me."

Concubine Zhu thought for a while and said, "The Empress Dowager said it for half an hour, intermittently, I didn't remember it all, I will tell you what I remember..."

Zhao Xu nodded while listening. Concubine Zhu was always very afraid of Empress Dowager Gao. She was nervous and didn't remember much. After Concubine Zhu finished speaking, Zhao Xu said, "Well, I'll deal with it, so don't worry, little mom."

Concubine Zhu was not worried. She looked at Zhao Xu and whispered: "The official family, King Yan is the last son of the Empress Dowager."

Zhao Xu nodded and said with a smile: "Xiao Madam, I'll ask someone to go to Cining Palace to pass the message later. I will say that I don't mean that, please don't worry, grandma."

As he heard this, Concubine Zhu had a sigh of relief and immediately stood up happily and shouted to the inside: "Are you ready? Come on, the official family is hungry..."

When Zhao Xu saw this, he smiled knowingly. It seemed that Empress Dowager Gao did nothing extreme.

The food was soon served, and Zhao Xu and Concubine Zhu were eating and chatting.

Concubine Zhu was very worried about Zhao Si, and when she mentioned that he was full of worry and wanted to speak, she stopped talking.

Zhao Xu tried his best to comfort him, and even showed the letter written by Zhao Si to Concubine Zhu.

At this time, Zhang Dun had already completed the deployment.

Xie Lin and others thanked Zhao Xu for his kindness and kindness, and for his kindness of not killing, he swears to reform himself. A group of people left the Privy Council with tears and glad that they had survived the disaster.

Huang Luze walked out of the green tiled house with a serious expression and came to Xuande Gate with a mission. He met dozens of censors of the Censorate and other officials of all levels and without grades.

Huang Lu was Zhang Dun's confidant. As we all know, Huang Lu was immediately angry when he saw him leaving Xuande Gate.

"Riege!"

Someone shouted, rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward.

This is even more true for other people, rushing forward.

In the eyes of the "old party", the "new party" is a treacherous and evil, and everyone calls for a fight. What's more, it is obvious that they are going to start liquidation from Sima Guang, how can they tolerate it!

In front of Xuande Gate, hundreds of people rushed over, shouting and killing, making a noise, and the onlookers were even more surprised.

Huang Lu is the chief censor, an important official of the dynasty, and Zhang Xianggong's confidant. If he was beaten to death in front of Xuande Gate, the court would never let him go!

But under the excitement of the crowd, almost no one was rational and rushed towards Huang Lu.

Huang Lu stood under Xuande's door, looking at the crowd with expressionless expression.

Just as a group of people were about to rush to Huang Lusheng, the brigade of guards rushed out, spears raised, forcing them to block in front of the angry people, and constantly pushing them back.

Hu Zhongwei's eyes were like copper bells and shouted loudly: "Beating and murdering the imperial officials is a death sentence. Who dares to do anything randomly? Just rectify the Dharma on the spot!"

After Hu Zhongwei's words fell, the guards drew their swords, raised their spears, rushed out in an circle, surrounding most of the people.

The angry officials immediately calmed down. Although their eyes were still angry, no one really dared to give it a try.

"Huang Lu, a traitor, you must not die well!" Someone was angry and stood there and shouted angrily.

"The traitor must not die a good death!"

"The traitor must not die a good death!"

A group of people shouted loudly, and some even picked up stones and smashed them over.

Huang Luyi remained motionless, his tone was as slow and firm as usual, and he looked straight at everyone and said, "Anyone from the Censorate will return to the Censorate immediately. If he is lazy and does not return within a quarter of an hour, he will be transferred to Qiongzhou."

The crowd was already excited, and Huang Lu openly threatened. Hundreds of people were furious and were about to rush forward again. The saliva of cursing was so swearing that it was almost overwhelming Huang Lu.

Hu Zhongwei immediately commanded the imperial guards and stopped them tightly.

Huang Lu had no expression on his face, wiped his face, turned around and left.

Hu Zhongwei immediately sent someone to escort the Censor, and if he was beaten to death under Xuande's sect, he would not be able to do anything.

Seeing Huang Lu leave like this, hundreds of people had nowhere to vent their anger. They roared and wanted to rush into the palace and ask Zhang Dun for an explanation.

Of course they couldn't rush in, and Zhang Dun wouldn't give them any explanation.

Not long after Huang Lu left, the atmosphere of the angry crowd gradually became a little subtle, and there were two people who quietly retreated.

Once they move, more people try to leave.

"Traitor!" Someone noticed it and shouted at them, extremely angry.

"So what if you are sent to Qiongzhou? How can you retreat when the righteousness lies?"

"The world is about to be in chaos, the country is shaken, and the swords and axes cannot change their ambitions. How can the little Qiongzhou be intimidated!"

"We must stop the treacherous party from doing things in chaos and protect our great Song Dynasty!"

They shouted, but more people walked away, shrank their heads and slipped quickly, most of them from the Censorate.

Huang Lu had returned to the Censorate and sat in the main hall, looking down at the standing and those who were slowly rushing back.

After the continuous changes of the Song Dynasty and the Yuanfeng restructuring, the Censorate has been repeatedly affected by major cases over the past few months. The Censorate now has less than 30 censors from the seventh rank.

The crowd looked at Huang Lu's expression, and he came back from the Political Affairs Hall and looked at each other with an uneasy expression.

Seeing that the person was almost back, Huang Lu said lightly: "I will say a few things. Please listen to me. If you can, stay. If you want to resign, you will also criticize me."

Everyone looked stern and did not dare to breathe.

Most of them are officials of the "former dynasty" and the "new party" has returned, and they have been uneasy.

Huang Lu had no tricks, so he said straight to the point: "First, the court will carry out large-scale reforms on the Censorate. If you see the reforms of the Censorate, the scale will be very large. Second, Dali Temple will be promoted to the Censorate, and the power and duties of the Censorate must be re-planned, involving each of you. Third, the court is about to reshape the court's discipline. As the chief yamen to maintain discipline and laws, the Censorate should perform its duties conscientiously and not exceed half a step! Fourth, there have been many corruption cases in the court recently. Some of you are involved or are involved. I will give you the opportunity to submit your resignation, not forget the past and not investigate the future. Fifth..."

When Huang Lu said the 'fifth', a cold and evil spirit suddenly appeared in his tone, and he said: "The national community's plan is more important than everything. Those who are stubborn will be killed!"

Huang Lu's word "Zhou" fell and everyone changed their color!

Many people's faces flushed and angry, wanting to fight.

They are censors, and they do not investigate their mistakes when they are reported. They are inferior and have superior to others everywhere. When will they be "beheaded"?

Those most "iron-minded" people didn't stand up, and others didn't dare!

It has changed, it has completely changed!

This is completely different from when the Empress Dowager was in charge of the rule. The officials would kill the court officials and be imprisoned as the chief minister, the young minister, and all the ministers. These little censors dare not offend them at all!

Seeing that they did not dare to react, Huang Lu's tone became indifferent again, and stood up and said, "I have written my resignation letter and handed it to my duty room."

The people in the hall looked at each other, still shocked by Huang Lu's word "Zheng". Then they looked at each other, not sure what to do.

They all knew very well that if they didn’t do what Huang Lu said, they would die!

Many people were cold all over, and subconsciously touched their necks, and their faces turned pale.

...

Although Zhao Xu temporarily suppressed the situation, the people's hearts were not on him. In other words, the most powerful group in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty was still conservative. Even if most people chose to remain silent, they were not interested in reforms or even opposed them.

Zhang Dun and others were busy sorting out the court bureau and assigning powers and responsibilities. At the same time, they were laying out the local power structure and dealing with various things in Kaifeng City. They were busy with their feet not touching the ground and sleeping day and night.

Zhao Xu is also very busy. He has to keep an eye on the court and plan for next year's reforms. He is constantly meeting court officials and having a deep conversation, hoping to prepare a relatively complete "reform outline".

Three days later, Zhang Dun strongly reformed the Censorate, completely disrupted the original Censorate, and strictly restricted the power and duties of censors. He tried his best to reduce their privileges of "reporting news" and force them to be "cautious and pragmatic".

Zhang Dun's move to the censor once again touched the sensitive nerves of many people, and the court and country became increasingly uneasy.

Hebei West Road, Qizhou Prefecture.

A few days later, the heavy rain stopped and flood discharged in the downstream. The water level of the Yellow River has been very stable. Although it has not decreased, it has not increased.

Chu You brought 10,000 people from the Palace Front Office to Qizhou Prefecture. Although he was under the banner of "support", Xu General, Yang Wei and others knew it well.

They quietly split Yun Jiejun, controlled some of their heads and minds, quietly took them away, and sent them to Kaifeng.

Cai You had arrived in Xijing and temporarily established the "Xijing Imperial City Secretariat". This is an ordinary house, but there are already many imperial guards of the Imperial City Secretariat, as well as many torture instruments, and temporary prisons.

In a quiet voice, thirty or forty people were sent here, and Cai You personally interrogated.

After a whole day, I was so coerced, tempted, and tortured, but I didn't ask for anything!

After the reform, the commander of the Imperial City Secretariat took a stack of case files and looked at Cai You with a condensation: "The mouth is very hard, and no one is spoken."

Cai You was always on the side, with a cold expression: "If such a big thing is to destroy the clan, it is strange that they will bite you to death. Continue to interrogate me and take out all your methods! The official family only gave me half a month, and even if they killed them, there was no need to care!"
