Chapter two hundred and sixty nine

Zhang Shi's tone was plain, but it was as sonorous as thunder.

The meaning in his words is very simple. If the court changes drastically and the "military reforms" in the north suddenly collapse, then it will not only be the blood flowing in Kaifeng City, but may lead to even greater civil strife!

This situation will not be allowed to happen, and may be willing to bet on everything to prevent this situation from happening!

Seeing Zhang Dun and the Zhang Ju brothers stood together, Cai Bian was shocked and hurriedly said, "You can't move! No one is allowed to move!"

If Su Song, Han Zongdao and others invite Empress Dowager Gao and bring everything back to its original form, the consequences will be too terrible!

In order to stop this situation, the Zhang Dun and the Zhang Shi brothers must have spared no expense, but they have no ability in the palace and can only make "military remonstrance"!

Cai Bian cannot allow both of these situations to happen!

Han Zongdao seemed to have thought of some kind of terrible scene, and hesitated, "Su Xianggong, think twice..."

Su Song stared at Zhang Feng, brothers Zhang Dun, holding a crutch in his skinny right hand, his bones and fingers turned white, just like his inner anger.

Zhang Dun was as motionless as a mountain, with a firm face. He had no intention of compromise or giving in.

Although Zhang Shi is not as fierce as Zhang Dun, he is also clear-cut and must prevent some things from happening, even a slight possibility!

The guards stood not far away with their swords. These people were selected on the battlefield. At this time, the bloody smell on their bodies was clearly visible.

In the green tiled room, a confrontation was imminent!

Outside, in the Political Affairs Hall, dozens of people from the Sixth Ministry of the Secretariat were still waiting in the conference room, thinking that a few husbands would go to ask for instructions from the officials and then continue to hold meetings.

Today is the first day of the dynasty, the first day of the revival of the "New Law"!

They were expecting and anxiously waiting.

But after waiting for a long time, no one came back. Occasionally, people who went out to use the toilet saw the guards outside the green tiled house, and couldn't help but wonder what had happened.

As soon as he was introduced to the Political Affairs Hall, he immediately discussed and sent people to ask.

Inside the green tiled house.

When Cai Bian saw that Su Song refused to speak, he was still frightened and hurriedly thought about a solution to the problem.

Cai Bian stood between Su Song and Zhang Dun with a calm face, observing the expressions of the two, while trying his best to keep calm in his heart, secretly analyzing and finding solutions.

The key now lies in the distrust of both sides!

Zhang Dun would not believe anything Su Song said. The bet was too big, who would easily believe the "enemy"?

Su Song and others were even more worried about what Zhang Dun did to "take the initiative" and causing uncontrollable drastic changes.

At the same time, both sides may be worried about the palace at the same time. After all, there are no leaders in the palace now. What would the Queen do? Is her words trustworthy?

Now it's a mess!

Cai Bian took a deep breath, looked at the two people confronting each other, as if they were brewing a storm, and said calmly: "Now, the ministers in the Political Affairs Hall are still waiting, we can't let them wait too long. Now, we will finish our trip, and we will talk about other things later."

"No!"

Zhang Dun flatly refused and said, "The official's serious illness must not be circulated!"

Su Song had a blue face. No matter how angry he was, he forced himself to calm down. He thought about the various variables that might appear now, and felt very uneasy.

At this time, even if something smaller happens, it may stimulate people who know the inside story of the official family's serious illness.

In the palace, the two parties of the "new and old" and those with ulterior motives, once they are used by those who are interested and fan the flames, it may be an irreversible disaster!

Su Song has always been 'seeking stability'. Even in the face of the joint pressure from the Zhang brothers, he did not lose his mind. He looked back at the imperial guards who were still standing with a knife, suppressing his turbulent anger and said, "The meeting of the Political Affairs Hall is chaired by Cai Bian, and the others stay here. The imperial guards exited the Qingtiao House. In the evening, we will enter the palace to visit the official house."

Zhao Xu was so sick that they had no preparations. They were all ministers, and the royal family had no one in charge, which meant that they had lost their backbone.

Cai Bian listened, and had no time to think too much, and immediately said, "Okay, just do it like this! Everyone, everything, follow the established plan, there must be no accidents!"

Cai Bian is also worried that what these two sides will do will cause misjudgment, which is really too dangerous!

Zhang Dun's face was calm, but in fact he was extremely alert. He pondered for a moment and said, "Okay. Go back."

"Yes." The guard raised his hand and responded, leading the people out of the green tiled house, but he still surrounded him calmly.

Zhang Dun stared at Su Song, his heart also surging.

Naturally, he could not agree to let Empress Dowager Gao come out again, and to rule the country from behind the curtain, and to abolish the "new law" again!

Han Zongdao and Cai Bian felt relieved when he saw that both sides took a step back. As long as both sides still had some concerns and did not tear their faces apart, everything still had room for improvement.

‘Official family, you have to wake up quickly, the sky is about to collapse!’

Cai Bian prayed in his heart, comforted him a few more words, and said, "I'm going to the Political Affairs Hall now. Don't be idle. There are so many things that you can't delay."

Cai Bian said, then looked at Zhang Dun again, Su Song looked at him, and confirmed that he was fine for the time being, so he left the Qingtiao House and hurried to the Political Affairs Hall.

When he arrived at the Political Affairs Hall, Cai Bian presided over the political affairs hall meeting on the grounds that "all my husbands and officials are discussing affairs, and they are unable to escape for the time being."

Although many people find it a little strange, they don’t think that Zhao Xu is sleeping now. In addition, the big thing is indeed coming, so they don’t think too much and live one agenda after another according to the plan.

In the green tiled room, the tension was slightly relieved, but the invisible pressure was still spreading. It seemed that everyone was holding their breath and waiting for an outbreak.

In the palace, after a brief chaos, it gradually returned to calm.

Chen Pi was guarding Zhao Xu's bedside, guarding everything.

The old doctor was invited again, but it started after prescribing the prescription, so people, things and things were checked many times before they could be sent to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu was lying on the bed, still frowning, pale, sweating all over. The bedding had been changed several times.

Chenpi was worried and went out from time to time, listening to the yellow gate and the palace maids reported on the situation inside and outside the palace.

It was noon slowly. Zhao Xu took the medicine and his eyebrows gradually loosened, but he did not wake up.

Tong Guan came back from the Privy Council, stood behind Chen Pi, looked at Zhao Xu, and whispered: "My husband Xiao Zhang was also under house arrest in the green tiled house, and all of you are very nervous."

Tangerine nodded slightly, her heart was heavy, and she didn't know what to say.

Without Zhao Xu's support, he was nothing. Not to mention those husbands, even the ministers of the six ministries could teach him a lesson.

Tong Guan was condescending, looking at the tangerine peel of his son who was young, but his immediate boss, he felt disdainful, but said respectfully: "Would we do other things?"

"Need not."

Although Chenpi was worried, her voice was extremely straightforward.

Tong Guan tilted his head quietly, examining Chenpi's side face, with suspicious eyes.

It is okay to be worried about Tangerine Pi, but Tong Guan always feels something is wrong.

Unable to figure it out, Tong Guan became more and more careful and said, "Then I will continue to go back to the Privy Council."

Chen Pi kept staring at Zhao Xu, nodded, and suddenly said, "You go to the Qingwa House to meet Xiao Zhang's husband again and ask him what he thinks."

Although Zhang Shi was not in the Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Councilor held military power and had a high position and was very important. His voice was extremely important.

Tong Guan was also curious about what Zhang Feng would be, and responded: "Okay, I'll go now."

Tong Guan left Zhao Xu's bedroom and headed straight for the green tiled room.

Chen Pi sighed lightly and stood in front of Zhao Xu's bed.

In just two hours, he felt like life was like years, and he was extremely distressed.

Inside the Political Affairs Hall.

Cai Bian presided over the meeting and passed a series of government orders and edicts that had been discussed long ago and drafted, and reported them to the palace.

This process is very lengthy and requires discussion. There are many contents to reach a consensus, and there are arguments and quarrels from time to time.

But there is always time to have free time. Some people saw that time had passed so long, Su Song, Zhang Dun and others still did not come. They couldn't help but become suspicious, looking at each other, and their doubts continued to aggravate.

Cai Bian seemed to have not seen it, and presided over the meeting in an orderly manner, implementing the matter one by one, and advancing it until noon, when everyone was hungry, it was the end.

More than 60 people were packing their things while looking at Cai Bian, with different expressions and successively leaving the Political Affairs Hall.

Many people are puzzled and want to ask, but they are not qualified enough and have to leave.

The six ministers of the ministers were qualified. Lin Xi looked indifferent and did not leave. He held a thick stack of official documents. Seeing Cai Bian just about to speak, Cai Bian looked at Cao Zheng and said loudly: "Cao Mansion Chief, Guardian Han discussed important matters in the Zhengshi Hall, and he will not go back to Kaifeng Mansion for a while. You will preside over the meeting of Kaifeng Mansion. I will see later. If I have time, I will go there."

Cao Zheng quickly raised his hand and said, "Yes, the official will accept the order."

After Cai Bian finished speaking, he hurriedly left with a stack of things in his arms.

This made Lin Xi's words go to his mouth and swallow them back. Xu Jiang pondered for a while, came to him and said, "No need to ask, let's go back first. There are still many things in the department."

Lin Xi vaguely felt something happened, and how could he have thought that Zhao Xu would be seriously ill and drowsy. He paused and continued, "Okay. By the way, you have to give me the recommendation list of the Ministry of War as soon as possible. Zong Ze, what did you think about it?"

General Xu left the Zhengshi Hall side by side with him and said, "Zong Ze led his troops with the official rank of the Ministry of War. His position is still low, so let's leave it for the time being."

Lin Xi said: "He is now a member of the Ministry of War. If he goes on, he will be a civil servant or a military general. I have to have an explanation."

"I know, I'll talk to him."

The two of them said and left the Political Affairs Hall.

Cai Bian stood outside the side door, watching all these people leave, breathed a sigh of relief, comforted these people, and had to turn back to the green tiled house.

Cai Bian's expression gradually became solemn. He thought for a moment and turned to the green tiled house.

When Cai Bian arrived at the Qingwa House, Su Song, Zhang Dun and others were having dinner while handling political affairs.

Cai Bian came in, and the crowd just looked up at him without saying a word.

Seeing that he was so nervous before he was gone, Cai Bian thought for a while, put down his things and said, "Six people will fool you for the time being, but it won't take too long."

Zhao Xu may be able to hide his feelings if he doesn't come out for a long time, but so many husbands all "disappeared", and no one can resist suspicion at such a major juncture.
