Li Qingchen came out of Chuigong Hall with a serious expression.

Zhao Xu's attitude made him a little uneasy.

In fact, everyone has known Zhao Xu's attitude of "not fully reintroducing the new law" for a long time, but Wang Cun, one who works as a minister for political affairs, and the other who takes charge of the "He Yi's death", seems less simple, and has deeper political considerations.

Li Qingchen left the Chuigong Hall and came to the Green Tile House as usual.

Pei Yin, who was receiving the reception, served him tea and said, "Shu Li, Grand Grand Duke, Cai, and Wang were all in the Privy Council, and discussed the "military reform" with Zhang and Xu."

Li Qingchen was not surprised, but said in confusion: "I remember that the Privy Council and the Ministry of War had a plan long ago. The official family has been back for a long time, so it should have been decided long ago. Why are there so many days and still discussing?"

Li Qingchen was not an outsider. Pei Yin glanced around and walked closer and whispered: "It was said to be five people, but in fact there were six people, and Tong Guan was there too."

Li Qingchen suddenly remembered that there was a period of time last year that Tong Guan was sent to the Privy Council by Zhao Xu, and later he was sent out, and he almost forgot about this.

After thinking for a while, Li Qingchen approached and said in a deeper voice: "What advice did the official have?"

Tong Guan is in charge, which naturally represents the government officials in the palace. In the past, Tong Guan was not qualified to participate in such matters, but now he has participated, which shows that there is a "contradiction" in the "monarch and minister".

Pei Yin said: "The officials require reference to the military system of the Qin and Han dynasties, and carry out a thorough reform of the military system, military ranks, military titles, etc. The officials use the mouths of Tong Guan and repeatedly emphasize that these must be decided before the end of the year, and rewards for meritorious officials cannot be delayed. Zhang Xianggong, Guo Cheng, Zhe Keshi, and Zhong Jianzhong's four people should be awarded the titles together."

Li Qingchen immediately understood why the "military reform" was not confirmed for so many days. These requests made by the officials were different from the opportunity to reform by taking advantage of the elimination of the "old party" and taking the opportunity to reform. At that time, everyone had not yet reacted, and Zhang Dun and others were eager to take power. The top-level reform of the imperial court was completed without realizing it.

The "Military Reform" involves the stability of the country and society, and even for generations, the court officials naturally dare not be careless.

In addition, the "checks and balances" penetrated into the bone marrow of the Song people, especially the control of the army, which was unprecedented. It imitated the Qin and Han dynasties, not only Zhang Dun, Cai Bian, Wang Cun, Zhang Qi, Xu Jiang and others did not dare to agree easily, and put it outside, and few people dared to agree!

This is a kind of "bottom line", and even the emperor cannot easily touch it!

Li Qingchen thought for a while and said, "What else is there?"

Pei Yin looked outside again and said, "I believe that it will not take long for Li Shangshu to know that in addition to the 13th Army, three camps, two cavalry, and one firearm battalion, the officials are also considering sorting out the existing military system, comprehensively promoting the "military reform" and striving to complete it within five years. At the same time, they are considering sending troops to Tubo this year or next year and taking them back to Qingtang and other places. By the way, the officials also require the establishment of a navy division, two, and investing about five million chunks a year..."

Li Qingchen immediately understood, nodded, stood up and said, "I'm afraid I can't wait today. When my grandfather came back, he said I've been here. To be honest, I'll see if I can go to the mansion."

Pei Yin responded and was about to send Li Qingchen out, but suddenly he whispered unintentionally: "Good King Wang is making an announcement to the Grand King. Many things are on the side of the Grand King, and so is military reform."

Li Qingchen's eyes changed and he didn't say anything. He thought to himself that he would have to have a good chat with Zhang Dun tonight.

Pei Yin sent Li Qingchen out of the green tiled house. He just came back and frowned. He forgot to tell Li Qingchen that Chen Zhen had returned. Chen Zhen's feat of fearless life and death in the Liao Kingdom's Shangjing had spread at the highest level of the court.

When Li Qingchen left the palace, Zhao Xu reviewed the memorial for a while. For some reason, he was upset. He put down his pen and came to the door, looking quietly at the sky.

The sky is as clear as the sky, and you can see many birds hovering and flying into the palace.

Tangerine stood not far away, standing quietly, not daring to speak.

The government returned from a complete victory and put forward more requirements for the reforms of the "military reform" and the "court bureau", many of which made the court officials hesitate and even boycott.

When the official family was at its highest prestige, it was still able to resist. You can imagine how deep these reforms were.

Zhao Xu stood at the door, looked quietly for a while, and suddenly said with a smile: "I'll inform Mr. Wang later, and I'll spend the meal with me in Funing Palace tonight. Let's go and see the saint."

"Yes." Chenpi responded and quickly arranged to set up the Renming Palace.

Empress Meng's labor was in November and was soon, and she could give birth at any time. During this period, Zhao Xu almost lived in Renming Hall.

Zhao Xu didn't alarm anyone. When he approached, he saw Empress Meng sitting under the eaves, basking in the sun, working as a female worker.

Zhao Xu approached and the palace maid found out, which alarmed Empress Meng.

Empress Meng sat up and wanted to salute. Zhao Xu held her hand and said, "Don't sit there all the time, go, go, accompany me for a walk in the garden."

Empress Meng smiled and followed Zhao Xu to the Imperial Garden.

Not long after leaving, Empress Meng saw that Zhao Xu had not spoken, looked at his side face and whispered: "Official family, are you worried?"

Zhao Xu walked slowly, looking at the flowers that were about to wither on both sides, and said, "I am thinking about the four words 'like-minded'. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, there were many good stories about the monarch and ministers. My father and An Shijun should be half of them. I don't know if it counts."

Zhao Xu's thinking is too advanced, he sees too far, and wants more. It is not completely consistent with Zhang Dun and the "New Party". As the reform continues to deepen, the differences become more and more obvious.

Queen Meng did not respond, and she is trying her best to keep a distance from outside the palace.

She reached an agreement with Zhang Dun, which was very fragile.

No matter what, she is now the spiritual leader of the "old party". If she gave birth to a son, she would inevitably be involved in the struggle between the government and the opposition again!

The Song Dynasty court could still have the illusion of warmth before Shenzong. Since the beginning of Yuanyou, the "old party" has been particularly cruel and difficult to hold back, let alone look back.

Zhao Xu glanced at her and said, "Grandpa Zhang, you don't have to worry about Wang Cun, I have a way."

Zhao Xu is planning to "end the party struggle". He already has preliminary ideas. Although it is impossible to end completely, it can be compressed to the smallest range.

Empress Meng smiled softly and said, "I am not worried."

Zhao Xu walked forward and said, "When Meng Tang passes the Enko next year, I will let him enter the court. I will consider setting up a communication department to be responsible for uploading and sending the memorials to him."

Queen Meng pursed her lips, not daring to refute or agree.

She had always been worried that Meng Tang would be involved in the court struggle and she could not protect him.

Zhao Xu took a few steps and suddenly said, "Pipi, let Guo Cheng tomorrow, Zhe Keshi, Zhong Jianzhong, Chu You and Zong Ze enter the palace."

These five people are the ones Zhao Xu is most optimistic about and should focus on cultivating. Everyone predicts that these people will be entrusted with important tasks and will be stationed around Kaifeng with heavy troops in hand.

"Yes." Chenpi bowed.
