Chu You used to be the commander of the front office of the Palace, but was later cut off and has been idle recently.

Tong Guan is the eunuch around Zhao Xu. Both of them are close friends of Zhao Xu. Xu Jiang naturally understands the intention when this arrangement is made.

Xu Jiang responded and said nothing more.

Zhang Shi also didn't speak out. His identity and relationship were special, and he didn't want to give Zhao Xu a feeling that he and Zhang Dun were in harmony.

Zhao Xu drank tea and looked thoughtful, but he didn't show them what he had just written.

After the two left, Zhao Xu held the teacup, looked outside, and thought slowly.

The army and government affairs are two legs, but they cannot walk at the same time. The reform of the army must be one step ahead.

But it would not be as easy as the reform of the military as the reform of the court. Su Song's opposition is actually a good phenomenon. It would be terrible if he did not speak silently.

The Song Dynasty army was not only in the system, but also intricate in relations, but also in the huge number of people. The imperial guards, the wing army and the foreign army, plus their joint families, inheritance relations, etc. may reach four or five million!

Moreover, the imperial court did not have that strong control over the army. If a rebellion really occurred, it might cause some deep-seated problems and chain reactions.

Zhao Xu thought silently in his heart. After a long time, he put down his teacup, took out the herb of "Fang Tianjun Tax Law" and continued to revise it.

Zhang Shi returned to the Privy Council and Xu General left the palace. These things could not be hidden from Su Song.

Su Song sat in the office, his face as deep as water. He was waiting for Zhao Xu's summons and was also organizing his words.

He knew that he could not stop Zhao Xu, but he wanted to exert as much as possible to influence this reform, minimize the possible consequences, and consider the long-term peace and stability of the Song Dynasty.

But until the evening, Zhao Xu did not summon him, and the Chugong Hall, which was a few steps away, was very peaceful.

Shen Qi in the servant's room went in and out, observing Su Song's duty room. Seeing that he had no movement, he was curious, but he didn't ask much.

"Sheren, these are new memorials, all about impeaching Xianggong Dazhang and Xianggong Cai." A civil servant said to Shen Qi with more than 20 memorials.

Dazhang Xianggong refers to Zhang Dun, and Zhang Feng is privately called Zhang Xianggong.

Shen Qi glanced at it and said, "The official family means to keep everything, write it briefly, and send it to the Chuigong Hall."

"Yes." The clerk responded and left with a plate.

The Sherenfang received dozens of letters of impeachment of Zhang Dun, Cai Bian and others every day. I don’t know when it started.

This level is no less than Wang Anshi at the time.

Inside the green tiled house.

Zhang Dun looked at a list sent by Cai Bian and pondered.

This is a list of prefects drafted by the Ministry of Personnel and Cai Bian, "Fu, Xiong, Wang" and other top prefectures, with more than 20, and a list of some transshipment envoys.

These are the important financial and taxation areas of the Song Dynasty, and the green tiled houses were arranged in advance and the staff were placed.

Zhang Dun pondered for a while and said, "The power of the Transport Authority is too high, which is not conducive to the implementation of the new law. I think the Transport Authority will be transferred to the Ministry of Revenue and will only do the Transport Authority and will not involve local affairs. What do you think?"

Cai Bian was stunned when he heard this and did not speak immediately.

This kind of reform will naturally be beneficial. It strengthens the real power of local prefects, and can effectively promote the implementation of the new law and curb the oppression of the Transport Department on local areas. However, without the Transport Department, the imperial court's control over local areas may further decline, and the court's finance and taxation will lose its guarantee.

Cai Bian paused for a while and said, "This matter must be cautious. We cannot make a decision verbally. Let the Ministry of Revenue conduct an investigation first, carefully consider it, and make a plan before talking about it."

Zhang Dun nodded and said, "Do this first."

Seeing that Zhang Dun seemed not as anxious as last year, Cai Bian said thoughtfully: "There is too loud opposition outside. Should we cool down? Let's go out and say something?"

Zhang Dun is not a reckless man. Even though he is full of anger at the "old party" that ruins the country and the people, he can still distinguish between pros and cons.

After thinking about it, Zhang Dun said, "I will go to the military weapon supervision. The government attaches great importance to this place. The Political Affairs Hall should make a statement."

Cai Bian said: "Mr. Zhang from the Privy Council is planning to build several large horse farms. The people below are a little perfunctory, so I'll go and have a walk."

Zhang Dun sat still, his face was serious, and he was quiet for a long time, and said, "Who is still stuck?"

Cai Bian knew who 'that' was, and sighed in his heart, saying, "Su Xianggong has his concerns, I still hope you can sit down and have a good talk."

Zhang Dun snorted coldly and said, "Do you think I'll bow my head to him and he agreed?"

Cai Bian's expression moved, his eyebrows were silent.

Zhang Dun understood that Su Song was not in a "party dispute" with Zhang Dun. Su Song was the one who had long wanted to leave. Now he stood up and was in a dilemma with Zhang Dun. The reason was the difference in governance.

Zhang Dun did not cling to this and said, "There is no movement in the official family?"

Cai Bian's expression calmed a little and said, "After Mr. Zhang and Shangshu left, the official family has been in the Chuigong Hall. Although he had met some people, he did not mention the military restructuring, nor did he summon Mr. Su."

After hearing what Cai Bian said, Zhang Dun's expression became even more sober and said, "Don't worry about him for now. According to the plan, according to the 20th day of the first lunar month, the 'Fang Tianjun Tax Law' will be announced, and the Ministry of Revenue will prepare it, and then order each department to prepare its personnel. The Censorate must arrange its personnel for supervision."

The court has been preparing for this matter for a long time, and Cai Bian said without objection: "The government seems to have some ideas, but it can be decided in more than ten days. Someone should lead the way to do this matter. Liang Tao, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, cannot separate himself, and the other ministers have the prestige and ability... "

Zhang Dun was considering the candidates, paused and said, "Don't worry, order the departments to prepare. I will go there in person later as a test site, so I must start a good start."

Cai Bian thought about Han Zongdao. This person is very similar to Su Song, with similar personalities, similar resumes, and similar backgrounds - the person left by Empress Dowager Gao!

"We have to find another person to execute it." Cai Bian said. If Han Zongdao opposes the same as Su Song or treats it negatively, it will be very unfavorable for them to revive it and implement the new Dharma.

"Cao Zheng!" Zhang Dun said.

Cao Zheng was transferred to Kaifeng Prefecture Chief and had already taken office last year.

Cai Bian was not surprised. Zhang Dun had obviously prepared for a long time, and then said: "The official said before that we should form a joint command organization across the country, which is to execute, supervise and verify. The Ministry of Revenue and the local prefectures are to execute, supervise and verify. The supervision is to the Censorate. Who will the verification be handed over to?"

Zhang Dun actually thought about this problem carefully, but there was nothing suitable. He stood up and said, "I didn't think about it, let's do what we do today first."

Cai Bian nodded, said nothing more, and went out with Zhang Dun.

There are many things in the court now, and it cannot be decided in just a few words.

Xingren Mansion.

Cai Que has been here for almost a few months. He looked at Kaifeng City day and night, waiting for the imperial edict to recall Beijing.

But Zuo Shun couldn't wait, and later he realized that Zhang Dun stopped him from going back.

After several tests, seeing that Zhang Dun was determined, he turned to attack Zhang Dun. His methods were very clever and he did not directly attack him. Instead, he wrote a letter to "seek truth from facts". If Shenzong said that he would not have said that Cai Que would be summoned to Beijing, but Zhao Xu did not respond at all.

Cai Que was sitting in front of the window and looked at the pedestrians traveling south and north on the street with a pale face.

"Ahem cough cough"

Suddenly, he started coughing violently, held back his pressure, and continued to write the book with his pen.

A housekeeper came in and said with a worried look on his face: "Master, you are so sick, so let's take a break. It's not too late to write later."

Cai Que waved his hand and continued to write.

"Ahem cough cough"

As a result, every time he wrote a few words, he even coughed and couldn't hold back his pen.

The housekeeper was a little worried and hurriedly said, "The villain is going to invite the doctor."

Cai Que did not respond, his face flushed, and he was still writing with his compulsion.

This is a comprehensive "analysis" or "attack" of Zhang Dun's reform. He coughed, his eyes were red, and his eyes were full of coldness.
