Chapter 230 The source of the monster is in the official's house

Zhang Kewei's words were loud and echoed in the hall.

He took off his black hat and put himself to death, a determined and unretreated attitude.

The enlarged conference came to the highest level of the Song Dynasty, with more than 30 people, most of which were reformists, who came from the reign of Emperor Shenzong and had experienced hardships and long-standing tests.

Zhang Dun cannot deal with Zhang Kewei like he did with the "old party", otherwise he would lose all his heart and he would have to leave even if he didn't leave.

Su Song was silent, Yu Guang looked at Zhang Dun, thinking about countermeasures in his heart.

At this moment, he would not allow Zhang Dun to leave, otherwise the court would break the deadlock and the collapse of the "new law" that had been established could cause chaos in the world!

Cai Bian's face was a little gloomy. If Su Song was for the overall situation, then he was for the "new law".

He raised his head and looked at Zhang Kewei and many of the people who had just stood up to speak, and his eyes fell on his brother, Cai Jing.

Cai Jing looked at Cai Bian's gaze and thought to himself. Yu Guang looked at Zhang Dun. While he was hesitating whether to speak, Zhang Dun spoke.

"I'll explain it to you."

The people in the hall, who were already worried, their hearts shrank and their eyes widened.

He wants to explain? How does he explain? What Zhang Kewei said was not lies, not to make up for criticism and malicious frame-up, and the facts were all there, how could he argue?

If Zhang Dun had no sufficient reasons and had too pale explanations, the people present could not accept it, and all prestige was lost, could he still lead the court? Can he still be the uncrowned prime minister and continue to implement the "new law"?

Su Song did not allow such a situation to happen and said directly: "I have read Cai Que's memorial..."

Zhang Dun raised his hand lightly and looked at Su Song and said, "Mr. Su, I should explain this matter."

Su Song was a little angry. Seeing this moment, he could no longer argue with Zhang Dun. He suppressed his anger and said, "Have you thought about it?"

He was worried that Zhang Dun would argue for his own fault or even make mistakes, so he would be less than silent!

Zhang Kewei stood there, with a black hat in front of him, looking straight at Zhang Dun with a stern expression.

There are many other halls with similar expressions to him. They are very dissatisfied with the delay in the court's promotion of the "new law". What they want is to fully restore the "new law" and the "new party" to fully restore it, but these "basic" requirements, seeing that half a year has passed, Zhang Dun still has not satisfied them!

These angers were completely ignited after Cai Que died of illness and could no longer be hidden.

Zhang Dun did not answer Su Song, but looked at Zhang Kewei and said, "The reason why Cai Que, Zeng Bu and others did not return to Beijing is not that the government disagrees, but that I am stopping me. There is only one reason, it is not suitable."

When I heard Zhang Dun openly say the word "unmatched", isn't this "exclusion of dissidents"?

Before they could speak angryly, Zhang Dun's face looked light and continued, "There are two different ways of not being consistent with the idea of ​​implementing the 'new law'. You can see from his memorial that his ideas are not only with me, but with most of the people here. Second, they are not in line with the court. If he returns to Beijing, where should he be? If we start a fight in the court because of our disagreement, will this be what you want to see?"

Zhang Kewei slowly frowned and opened his mouth to speak. Facing Zhang Dun's unprecedented honest expression, he couldn't find anything to refute.

Others were also thinking, and party struggles were definitely not what they thought. Cai Que’s mind was not simple. Before the death of Emperor Shenzong, he favored Zhao Hao on the issue of succession!

Without waiting for them to finish thinking, Zhang Dun continued, "Second, I cultivate private individuals, appoint people to be nepotism, and form cliques to promote private interests. My Zhang family has no wealth, no fertile land, tens of acres of rich land, no luxury houses, shops, etc. Gold, silver, jewelry, silk, silk, satin and other precious things, and there are only a few luxurious things, so you can just wait for investigation. Here are almost all the high-ranking officials of my Song Dynasty. You have counted with your fingers. Now there are more than 30 people. If you point out that Zhang Dun has ten so-called gang members, I will admit it. No need to say more, I will write a letter to admit my guilt and ask myself to go to jail..."

Zhang Dun said, taking off his hat and put it on the table.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then frightened, and subconsciously looked at each other in the hall.

Su Song also watched, and he swept over Cai Bian and Han Zongdao beside him, and then fell on the six ministers of the ministers.

Cai Bian is definitely not considered a gangster of Zhang Dun, and if it is calculated, it must be considered Wang Anshi.

Han Zongdao is even more impossible. He is the person who is left by Empress Dowager Gao like him.

Lin Xi, the Minister of Personnel, Liang Tao, the Minister of Revenue, was not, Cai Jing, the Minister of Justice, was not, Xu Jiang, the Minister of War, and Yang Wei, the Minister of Works, was not...

Su Song calculated this way and was secretly shocked. These people were indeed not Zhang Dun's followers, they were all from the palace officials!

This was the first time Su Song discovered that this court was not the dominant party of the "New Party", but the most people in the palace!

Putting aside the six ministers, Huang Lu, the chief censor of the Censorate, calculated one, and the other ones are not worth the two-handed!

Zhang Kewei was also watching. As the Minister of Works, he came all the way from the Xining period and knew the great figures of the court very well. He looked at it carefully and conservatively estimated that there were only five!

How do you decide to establish a party for five people?

A minister of the court will lead two ministers. If two friends are added to the court and the promotion will be carried out, wouldn’t everyone form a clique?

Some people are considered gang members, while others secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although Zhang Dun had a bad temper and made countless enemies, he was indeed blameless in his personal ethics. If it weren't for this, the harsh and omnipresent party struggles since Xining would have long disappeared from the court in a mess.

Zhang Dun sat quietly and waited for a while.

The hall was quiet and silent. Zhang Dun had few gangs. He formed a clique for personal gain and cultivated his personal gain. It was naturally not considered nepotism.

But in the past six months, Zhang Dun covered the sky with his hands and swept the "old party". This was completely different from their inherent ideas. He could not accept it for a while, but he could not say anything.

One cup of tea and another cup of tea. Zhang Dun said directly: "Third, you say I blocked the way of speech and deceived the holy hearing. Your Majesty is in the Chuigong Hall for most of the day, so can there be blocking the road? Who hasn't been to the Chuigong Hall? Except for your memorials left by Your Majesty, which one does not have His Majesty's annotations and seals? The Secretariat of the Secretariat is outside. He is responsible for the in and out of the memorials. You can let him come in and explain it clearly to everyone..."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They found that what Zhang Dun said was completely true!

The outsiders cannot enter the Chuigong Hall, but they only ask to see each other. Unless there is something to do in the official family, they can see it. At most, they will go twice more.

As for the memorial, except for being kept at the end, the officials did review it. Of course, staying at the end was also a matter of the official, and it had nothing to do with Zhang Dun.

After such a careful calculation, it really has nothing to do with Zhang Dun.

Many people couldn't react. Zhang Dun was in power for more than half a year, and he was pushing almost everything. Why did it end up? It seemed that nothing had to do with him?

They couldn't figure it out for a moment, looked at each other, with doubts in their eyes and feeling uncomfortable.

However, Cai Bian felt moved at the first time, and while breathing a sigh of relief, he also understood.

The fundamental reason why the situation Zhang Dun mentioned is that it comes from the government families in the palace.

The real and biggest reformist faction is actually the government officials in the palace. Zhang Dun's affairs were all planned and promoted by the government, at least with acquiescent.

With Zhang Dun's tacit cooperation, the current situation will be formed.

Therefore, when everything is pushed onto Zhang Dun, such a paradox and strange phenomenon will appear.

Su Song followed Mingming, and his originally tight old face slowly relaxed.

He is the prime minister, and he must stabilize the court situation. The "old party" must be stable, and the "new party" must also be stable. In short, he must be stable!

He sat upright, looked at Zhang Kewei and others, and looked serious.

He was thinking about whether to leave Zhang Kewei and others, or to follow the flow and send them away from the court.

Zhang Kewei and others saw that the situation was reversed by Zhang Dun's words, and Cai Que's "death advice" became insignificant, so how could he be willing to do so?

Zhang Kewei shook his neck and said, "Then, why do you think you are right? Cai and others are wrong?"

Many people in the hall shook their heads secretly as Zhang Kewei said with great strength.

These people lost.

"I never said Cai Que was wrong."

Zhang Dun's expression did not change, his tone was plain, and he said, "I have never said that I was right. 'Reform' is something I have never seen before. We follow each other, stagger, overcome all obstacles, and before we do it, no one can tell whether it is right or wrong."
