Wu Juhou almost escaped from the Chuigong Hall, and did not dare to go to the Qingtiao House, so he left the palace.

In the afternoon, Su Song, Zhang Dun and Cai Bian came to the Chuigong Hall and sat on both sides to report on recent events.

Even though Su Song became the prime minister, he was still practicing the magical skill of silence. He sat at Zhao Xu's lower left head and did not speak except to greet him.

Zhang Dun had a stack of memoirs on his legs. He sat upright with a serious expression and said, "Your Majesty, everything has been in trouble recently. Those who are interested have taken the opportunity to cope with him and want to do something wrong. The Political Affairs Hall and others are under strict supervision and have already obtained some evidence. When the time is ripe, they will deal with it severely."

Zhao Xu looked at him and said, "The court's laws are complicated. This matter will be handled by the Censorate, and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Personnel. Those who are light will be punished and demoted, those who are severe will be dismissed from office and will be sentenced to prison and punished. Don't release the capital, which will harm the local area. In the future, we will handle this as it will."

Su Song's old face twitched when he was sleeping with his eyes closed.

In the past, the imperial court never killed civil servants, and it was rarely dismissed from office unless it was a serious crime.

Cai Bian could hear it clearly. As the person who led the Censorate, he stood up and said, "I obey the order."

Zhao Xu waved his hand and continued to say to Zhang Dun.

Zhang Dun wrote down Zhao Xu's words and said, "Your Majesty, June is coming soon. It is time for the court to pay the salary. The treasury is currently deficient. I am trying to find a way to raise it."

Zhao Xu knew this and said calmly: "Well, my officials in the court are poor, loyal and honest, and cannot be treated unfairly."

Su Song's old face did not move, and his hands holding the crutch gently rubbed it.

Cai Bian listened to this sentence and Hu suddenly felt squinted.

What is the truth? What is here is tacitly understood.

Zhang Dun looked as usual and said, "Your Majesty, the political affairs hall has been redundant and the officials only know how to fight and be brave, block government affairs, and delay political affairs. As the mastermind of the two provinces, Fan Bailu, Fan Chunren said that he was sick and did not court. I asked Your Majesty to punish him."

Zhao Xu looked at Zhang Dun, patted the desktop with his right hand and said, "Grandpa Zhang, what should I do?"

Zhang Dun said directly: "After all, you are the ministers of the current dynasty and are well-known to all the world. I ask Your Majesty to issue an order to rebuke him and give him a warning."

Zhao Xu understood that Zhang Dun wanted to be polite first and then fight against Erfan.

Erfan is the chief official of the Secretariat and the Secretariat. He scolded them, which is warning the three sectors.

Zhao Xu chuckled and said lightly: "Chen Pi, pass on my oral order and ask Shen Qi to go to Erfan's mansion."

"Yes." Chenpi responded and turned around and went out.

Zhang Dun had no intention of chasing and fighting fiercely. He looked at the memorial in front of him and continued: "Your Majesty, the heavy rain this year comes earlier, and the flood season may be earlier than in previous years, so you need to prepare earlier."

Zhao Xu's face turned solemn, nodded and said, "I have told Cai Qing's family about this matter. You can discuss it carefully and submit it."

Zhang Dun's voice was wide-minded and firm, saying, "Your Majesty, the difficulty of this matter is money and grain, and the other is manpower. Money and grain can be raised, and it is probably not easy to recruit tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of people in a short period of time."

At this time, Zhao Xu's eyes suddenly narrowed and his heart suddenly moved.

He thought of how to fight against floods in the future! He also thought of General Xu recruiting troops!

His face stretched out and he smiled and said, "I have a way to raise money and food."

Zhang Dun looked slightly different and looked at Zhao Xu. Seeing that he had not made any explanation, he said, "The minister of money and food still has some solutions. Try to raise it as soon as possible. Please make arrangements early."

Zhao Xu had already thought of it, smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I won't joke around like this big thing."

Zhang Dun had no doubts, and he was even more sure that if he could not raise money and food by the time, this Majesty would not really hold the inner treasury and sit still.

After a pause, Zhang Dun said: "Your Majesty, the next step is to fill the gaps of important officials in the court. The opinion of the Political Affairs Hall is: Liang Tao is appointed as the Minister of Revenue, Yang Wei is appointed as the Minister of Works, Xu is appointed as the Minister of War, Lin Xi is appointed as the Minister of Personnel, and Cai Jing is appointed as the Minister of Justice... The six subordinate officials are recommended by the Minister of the Court and each department. Officials in the three provinces need to be further sorted out..."

This is the list of lists Zhao Xu and Zhang Dun had already discussed it. They glanced at Su Song and Zhao Xu said, "Grandpa Su, what do you think?"

Su Song slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were filled with no emotions.

He saw it more clearly than Cai Bian. This official is making arrangements step by step. Although he is not clear about his purpose, it is definitely not something they can accept.

They include Zhang Dun and Cai Bian!

"I have no objection." Su Song said silently.

Zhao Xu looked at Zhang Dun and Cai Bian and immediately said, "Then let's brew it again. It's really complicated and you need to prepare more."

Zhang Dun bowed and said, "Abide by the order."

He really needs to make more preparations. Not only does he want to liquidate the "old party", but he also ambitiously wants to use the "Xining Reform" to realize his wish to enrich the country and strengthen the people!

Cai Bianze frowned and felt a little uneasy.

Zhao Xu picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying, "Tomorrow, you will call the six ministers to the Political Affairs Hall, discuss it carefully, and come up with a plan for the second half of the year. Since the three provinces like to engage in internal conflicts, let them fight. For your future affairs, you will directly issue to the six ministers, and six ministers will be responsible."

Su Song's old face suddenly tensed, he frowned, and looked straight at Zhao Xu with his eyes.

Zhao Xu turned to him and said with a smile: "Mr. Su is uncomfortable?"

Su Song didn't know if what he was guessing in his heart was right. After repeated silence, he still said: "Even if there is something wrong with the ancestral system, it will make sense after many years of practice. It can be changed or not, and it cannot be changed. Please consider it."

Zhao Xu's eyes flashed with a strange look. This old husband was really keen. He guessed it just by saying one word.

Zhao Xu glanced at Zhang Dun and Cai Bian, and smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Su, I have my own concerns."

Su Song looked at Zhang Dun and Cai Bian, frowned even more, sighed in his heart, and said, "Yes."

Zhang Dun looked at Su Song, raised his eyebrows, and then said calmly: "I obey the order. Your Majesty, I ask you to compile the "Records of the Emperor Shenzong."

Su Song's face twitched again, and his eyes were closed deeply.

It is normal for descendants to compile the "real record" of the previous emperors, but there are too many things that can be operated here.

It is not only the final conclusion of an emperor, but also involves the civil and military ministers of the current dynasty. This is a historical book that will be passed down from later generations. Who can not care about how to write them in it!

When it fell into Zhang Dun's hands, Sima Guang and the "old party" would still be written as, and the four words "traitor and treacherous minister" can always be escaped!

Zhao Xu thought for a moment and said, "Accurate."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Dun's tone was as usual, his eyebrows were raised, like a sharp sword about to be born.

When Su Song, Zhang Dun and Cai Bianyu reported the preface, Shen Qi took Zhao Xu's "oral order" to Erfan's mansion one after another.

The current relationship between the government and the opposition is very tense and sensitive, especially Zhao Xu's every move has attracted much attention.

As Chen Qi left the palace, entered Erfan's mansion, and waited for it, I don't know how many gazes were greeted!

The door of Erfan's mansion was still closed, and countless anxious people were blocked from the door if they wanted to "visit". They scratched their ears and heads, and there was no way.

But the Fan Mansion is not a strict place, and the "oral order" brought by Chen Qi was spread, causing heated debate in the Political Affairs Hall.

The two parties ignited war again and quickly quarreled.

"The official issued an order to denounce the two husbands? It is impossible. The two husbands are taking leave, why should they denounce them?"

"The government affairs of the three provinces are in a mess, and the two Fan Xianggongs must take responsibility. If they don't take responsibility, who will take responsibility!"

"The two ministers are highly respected and respected, and they all look forward to them all. How can the officials easily scold them!"

"Reprimand? Is there such a precedent for three months of leave? I think they might as well resign directly and return to their hometown to retire!"

"Hmph, what do you know? This is the official who is helping the two ministers to return to the court!"

"I think you are lard-stricken! Even if the official family has this meaning, does Fan Bailu and Fan Chunren still have the face to come back? Are you not afraid of people all over the world sneering?"

"You can't understand the ambition of your husband. When your husband comes back, I see how arrogant you are!"

"If they come back, you will say that you have delayed so many things maliciously. Do you really think the government will tolerate it again and again? You are in a disaster!"

"Hmph, at worst, you can be demoted from the capital. How long can you be arrogant by being treacherous villains?"

Chen Qi and Jiang Jing were all watching, shaking their heads secretly, without getting involved.

...

Three days later, just after noon, General Xu hurriedly returned from outside the city, came to Zhao Xu's study with a tired and excited expression. After taking a sip of tea, he couldn't wait to say: "Officials, we have already dispatched 1,500 people, all of whom are elite in the wing army. Zong Rulin is indeed a talented person. Not only has extensive knowledge, but also outstanding abilities, and is managed in an orderly manner by 1,500 people. He is currently building a camp and determining the training strategy. When I come back, one is to ask Your Majesty for military pay, the second is weapons and equipment, and the third is to recruit more soldiers, I need to be sure of the identity..."

Zhao Xu kept listening quietly. Seeing that Xu Jiang had made such progress in such a short time, he was very happy and said with a smile: "Don't worry. I have asked Tong Guan to go to the Privy Council to buy money, and it will take a few days. What I want to tell you is another thing."

Xu Jiang looked at Zhao Xu's smile and was also curious.

Zhao Xu said: "A few days ago, Mr. Zhang came to tell me that this year's rainy season may be earlier than before, and the Yellow River is at risk of breaking the dam, so please report that you want to repair the Yellow River before the flood."

Xu Jiang was not surprised. This was the right thing to do, and he was waiting for Zhao Xu's words.

Zhao Xu had a more smile on his face and said, "Mr. Zhang was worried that he would not recruit enough civilians in a short period of time, but I thought of it. I have raised many idle troops in the 23rd Route of the Song Dynasty, and this time it was just right for them to build rivers! The Ministry of War can take the opportunity to command, and identify, prepare and reorganize it, so that we can also save us from spending our efforts to search everywhere. It is really a win-win situation!"

Xu General listened, thought for a while, and said, "There is no precedent for the imperial guards to build rivers and embankments. It may involve tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of imperial guards. The imperial court may not agree."
