As Zhao Xu returned to the palace, the patrolling guards in Kaifeng City returned to work one after another, lifting the martial law. The people went out in panic, looked around, talked to each other, and were exploring what had happened.

In the prison of Dali Temple.

Chen Chao and Lin Cheng already knew the movement outside. They looked at each other through the cell, and their eyes were unprecedentedly solemn.

Things are completely different from what they expected!

In Dali Temple, Cao Zheng came back from the Political Affairs Hall and was holding a meeting.

Cao Zheng looked at the seven young masters sitting on both sides, opened the letters on the table, and said aloud: "The meeting of the Zhengshi Hall determines a lot of things. Regarding my Dali Temple, I and my colleagues told me, "The Princess of Yan, Zhao Hao, was deposed by the officials because of his lack of moral integrity. The Princess of Dali Temple will be selected by the Zhengshi Hall from his close relatives and will serve for life. Second, the new criminal law will be promulgated next year, but the relevant bills of the Case Law will be in

The edict will be issued tomorrow that Dali Temple can act accordingly and handle many cases that have been pending. Third, regarding the development outline of Dali Temple, I have reported to the official for approval and will be implemented next year. Fourth, from next year, our Dali Temple officials will not be transferred outside and will be promoted from within the temple. Fifth, officials with the Dali Temple who have the right to judge must not be approved by Dali Temple. Other departments, including the Imperial City Department, have been transferred to the Political Affairs Hall and may not be arrested, detained, or detained. Sixth..."

The seven young masters of Dali Temple listened slowly, and their expressions were excited again and again.

The Political Affairs Hall held this meeting, which gave them a lot of power and "privileges"!

It is enough to make them happy without Dali Temple’s consent!

Cao Zheng looked at the expressions of everyone and nodded secretly.

Ministry of Personnel.

The yamen of the Ministry of Personnel can be said to be broken and old. The officials of the Ministry of Personnel have repeatedly requested construction and expansion, but they have been rejected by the Political Affairs Hall.

Lin Xi presided over the meeting with indifferent expression, sitting upright and being arrogant without anger, saying, "Our Ministry of Personnel has a lot to do next. Listen well, remember, don't be angry when I beat the board in the future. First, the examination and examination method will be implemented next year and be improved as soon as possible. Second, before the end of the year, there will be a large-scale dispatch of officials. The specific list will be explained in detail later. Third, the Ministry of Personnel will directly manage the officials at the prefecture level, and all appointments and assessments will be transferred to the Ministry of Personnel. Fourth, the inspection department is included in the Ministry of Justice, and the inspections of each prefecture are both managed by the Ministry of Justice and the local government, but the appointment needs to pass the Ministry of Personnel... Finally, and most importantly, the chaos has been in chaos recently and people's hearts are shaky. The more this time, the more you see a person's quality. If someone can't act with peace of mind, please ask him to a place where he can stay safe!"

Lin Xi looked indifferent and his tone was always very stable, but in the end, he was murderous!

A minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the doctor and the man-in-law were startled, and quickly got up, raised his hand and said in unison: "The official is the one who takes the order!"

Lin Xi still looked indifferent and said, "Next, I'll talk about the specific list."

The crowd sat down in fear. They had already seen that the official documents in front of Lin Xi were very thick!

At the same time, other temples were holding meetings and informing the content of the meeting of the Political Affairs Hall. One was to demand "stability" and the other was to prepare for what will happen next and next year.

Soon, the edict that Zhang Dun asked for about the transfer of the Imperial City Office into the Political Affairs Hall was published. At the same time, the report of the Political Affairs Hall was spread to various departments in the capital and to all parts of the country.

This will seems to be a kind of follow-up to the imperial restructuring, and many people don’t care.

But many people were also frightened and had a premonition that a major event would happen next.

Cai You, the Imperial City Department outside the Imperial City, convened a group of deputy commanders and was casually assigned tasks.

Everyone here looked secretly careful, excited and nervous.

At the same time, a series of doves flew out and rushed to the north, west and south of the Song Dynasty with unknown orders.

Outside Kaifeng City, there were three armies moving, one from Jingdong Road, targeting Beijing Daming Prefecture, and the other from Qinfeng Road, targeting Xijing Henan Prefecture. There was another army, led by Zong Ze, who were divided into three gates of Kaifeng Prefecture, and each of them was stationed in the south of the Huwei Army.

As the movement became heavier, Kaifeng City was filled with a feeling of storm coming and wind filled the building. I don’t know how many people closed their mansions and were anxious.

All institutions of the court were stepping up preparations, but Zhao Xu in the palace suddenly seemed a little idle.

He has solved the most troublesome things at the top, and the next thing is Zhang Dun and others' affairs.

In the evening, he went to Renming Palace first and spoke for a while with Queen Meng who fell ill, and then left after Queen Meng fell asleep.

Then he went to the birthday palace to have dinner with Concubine Zhu.

Concubine Zhu was filled with sad faces, and she sighed to Zhao Xu from time to time, recalling her past with Empress Dowager Gao, and sighing that the Empress Dowager, who was once decisive, was really old.

After accompanying Concubine Zhu to have dinner, Zhao Xu returned to Funing Palace until dark.

Tong Guan followed Zhao Xu, looked at the cold sky, and whispered: "Official family, will the harem serve the bed tonight?"

Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "No need, let everyone in the palace rest early."

Tong Guan responded carefully.

He was more alert than Chenpi. Chenpi was an old man around Zhao Xu at least, and he didn't have much trouble inside, but Tong Guan was different. He had a lot of thoughts, but he had too many handles to catch!

Zhao Xu was walking, suddenly turned his head and looked at Tong Guan, but said nothing.

Tong Guan was startled, opened his mouth to ask, and swallowed it back.

The next morning, the Political Affairs Hall issued decrees one after another, and the mansion that had been prepared had been spread throughout the country.

The first one is about enthroning Meng as the empress, which is Zhao Xu's official enthronement edict.

The second line is to abolish the three yamen and the power belongs to the Ministry of War and the Privy Council.

The third way is to establish the judicial status and criminal laws of Dali Temple, the rules for the application of rituals and laws, including case law, punishment is greater than rituals, equality of laws, judicial interpretations, etc.

The fourth step is to cut and merge the various institutions of the court, establish powers and duties, clarify responsibilities, standardize ethics, etc.

The fifth line is to announce the general principles of national reform, formulate reform goals within five years, and officially announce the resumption of the "Xining Law" next year.

The sixth way is to summarize a series of events in the past six months, denounce the corruption and abuse of power by Lu Dafang and others, and ask officials across the country to take it as a warning. They severely denounce and warn all kinds of illegal acts, especially the organized connection, collusion, coercion and temptation of officials, and severely denounce and warn the willful distortion and criticism of the national major policies.

The seventh way is a series of personnel appointments that amend the official positions of officials at all levels of the court. This includes Zhang Dun resigning as deputy envoy of the Privy Council, Zhang Dun served as Privy Councilor. The Political Affairs Hall has three prime ministers, prime ministers, two prime ministers on the left and right, and six assistant officials in the political affairs, etc.

...

The eleven aspects of the Song Dynasty were Zhao Xu and the most formal and serious external announcements of the Song Dynasty, a summary of the seventh year of Yuanyou, and a preparation and beginning for next year.

Almost at the same time as these edicts were issued, the three violent institutions of the Imperial City Department, the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate, took a list and began to arrest people in Kaifeng.

Moreover, some of them were sent out of Beijing and rushed to all directions.

Especially the Imperial City Department, which had been deployed in the Four Capitals for a long time, was taken away before many people could react.

There was a priest like Lu Dafang who was imprisoned in front, and there was such a large-scale arrest operation behind it. Even the major crimes such as "not being praised by the emperor, making mistakes, forming cliques for personal gain, and causing trouble to the court." It still shocked the entire Song Dynasty. I don't know how many people tossed and turned, couldn't sleep at night, and were worried.
