As the end of the morning break gets closer, I don’t know how many people are gradually nervous.

In the Political Affairs Hall, various edicts and decrees are being drafted. Officials at all levels shuttle back and forth between the Political Affairs Hall and the Six Ministry, and their feet are as busy as the green tiled houses and are busy.

Zhao Xu, who thought everything was ready, realized that things would be busier as they approached!

Zhao Xu has been staying in the Chuigong Hall these two days, constantly reviewing the things delivered everywhere, and has no chance to drink a sip of soup.

At the beginning of the eighth year of Yuanyou, the last day of the morning rest.

No matter how reluctant he was, Prime Minister Su Song also started to move. Not only did he hold meetings in the Political Affairs Hall, but he also had to inspect the six ministries and Kaifeng Prefecture.

Han Zongdao of Kaifeng Prefecture also held meetings one after another, assigned various tasks and conveyed political orders.

The voices of opposing the resurgence of the "new law" have become increasingly strong, especially within the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture.

But these can't stop anything, and everything is moving forward in an orderly manner.

In the evening, the Cining Hall was quieter than ever before.

In the small garden, Empress Dowager Gao sat on a chair, wrapped in a thick blanket, and quietly watched the sunset set.

Zhou He walked over from behind and whispered: "Empress, it's late, go back early."

Empress Dowager Gao looked at the sky with a smile on her face and said, "Today is the last day of Chaoxu. What do you think about the officials and those husbands now?"

Zhou He looked calm and unconsciously looked up at the outside of the palace.

The ups and downs of the dynasty over the past six months, the core of the battle is still two words, "new law". Now, the "new law" is about to begin, and I am afraid that many people will find it difficult to explain clearly.

Empress Dowager Gao smiled for a while, slowly calmed down, and said, "Zhang Dun's selfishness is more important than Wang Anshi. This person is very obedient for the time being. In the future, the official may not be able to suppress him, and the official will regret it."

Zhou He bowed and did not dare to say much.

Empress Dowager Gao pulled the blanket on her legs and said, "Tell the official family that the foundation of the establishment of the Song Dynasty lies in the unity of the king and his ministers. He was so alienated from the court officials and used the emperor's minds and allowed the court officials to be overwhelmed and the king was isolated, which was a taboo."

Zhou He's face changed suddenly, and he immediately knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "The villain takes the order."

Empress Dowager Gao sighed lightly, looked quietly at the sky outside the palace, and did not speak anymore.

The new law has reappeared, and the mentality of the complexity is nothing more than Empress Dowager Gao.

At the beginning of Xining, she firmly opposed the "new law" and had a long dispute with Emperor Shenzong for this, which almost damaged the relationship between mother and son. Emperor Shenzong passed away and Zhao Xu ascended the throne. Empress Dowager Gao, who ruled behind the curtain, couldn't wait to abolish the "new law". In just one year, the "new law" was abolished, and the "new party" was exiled to Beijing for various crimes.

The vigorous reform was instantly knocked back to its original form.

Now, the son of Emperor Shenzong, her grandson, is about to revive the "new law". How can her heart not be complicated?

It’s so complicated that it’s hard to say!

Political Affairs Hall.

The Political Affairs Hall is not big, with several tiled houses brightly lit, and the sound of footsteps and discussions never stopped.

Prime Minister Su Song sat in the duty room, his eyes closed and pretending to sleep.

As the "old minister" left by Empress Dowager Gao, as the prime minister of the current dynasty and the leader of the "old party", the "new law" is about to arise. Su Song's heart is really mixed with ups and downs.

From his heart, he opposed the "new law". He had seen the chaos in the world in Xining's initial reforms. This is also the reason why these people continued to oppose the "new law".

In their opinion, Empress Dowager Gao, Sima Guang and others abolished the "new law" because it was actually what everyone expected and to correct the situation was the act of the sages.

In just seven years, the "new law" is about to revive.

But times change, things change, and people change.

Su Song is now the prime minister of the current dynasty. In the eyes of many people, he has already rebelled and wants to be the prime minister of the reform of the new dynasty!

Su Song breathed deeply, opened his eyes, and looked at the dark sky outside the window.

The reason why he stayed was that Zhao Xu tried to stay was that he wanted to stabilize the court and the world, and there would be no chaos like Xiningchu.

"The Song Dynasty can no longer stand the tossing..."

Su Song whispered silently.

Inside the green tiled house.

Zhang Dun walked around the rooms, personally guiding the civil servants to do things. He spoke sternly and upright, which scared these civil servants so much that they did not dare to breathe. They only nodded and responded to "yes".

There were more than a dozen edicts piled up on Cai Bian’s table, all of which were covered by Zhao Xu’s seal.

He was still writing a decree from the Political Affairs Hall. After writing it, he looked at Zhang Dun and said, "It's okay for Li Qingchen to serve as the Minister of Rites. I'll go to see him later and talk about the meeting tomorrow."

Tomorrow is the first court meeting in the eighth year of Yuanyou. There are many things at the court meeting. As the Minister of Rites, Li Qingchen is very important!

"Okay." Zhang Dun responded, and said to the minor official in front of him: "This official document must be meticulous, leaving enough space for the wording. In addition, the official newspaper should be clearer and do not leave them the loopholes to take advantage of..."

This was the first time Zhang Dun was so "concerned". The little official's face turned pale, his hands holding the pen were trembling, and hesitating whether to stand up.

After Zhang Dun finished speaking, he walked towards his position and looked at Cai Bian and said, "The officials at all levels of Kaifeng Prefecture are now in Kaifeng Prefecture, and I will go there later."

Cai Bian nodded, and then pondered: "There are still many questions. Should I go to the palace and talk to the officials?"

Zhang Dun sat down on his stool and said directly: "No need. At this time, you have done everything you should do, and small problems will not affect the overall situation."

Cai Bian looked cold and said, "No one will jump out of the court meeting tomorrow, right?"

Zhang Dun snorted lukewarmly and said, "There is a method of examination in the Ministry of Personnel, "About the major affairs of the court, and it will cause trouble to the court." If someone makes trouble after our repeated emphasis, it is to test whether my Zhang Dun's knife is sharp enough!"

The little official not far away heard this and felt his neck cold and he lowered his head quietly.

Tomorrow's court meeting is the most important occasion for the resumption of the "New Law". Everyone in the world is watching. If someone really jumps out to object at this time, they will be torn to pieces by Zhang Dun!

Cai Bian was still uneasy and said, "I will go to see Mr. Su later, and I hope he will suppress some unstable people."

Tomorrow's dynasty meeting will be an enlarged meeting. Six ministries and three temples, and almost all officials of the fifth rank or above will enter the dynasty. Not to mention that there are people from both parties that do not belong to the "new and old" parties, even if Zhang Dun personally chose it, there will be a "traitor"!

Zhang Dun thought for a while and said, "I'll go see Huang Lu."

With the continuous advancement of reform, the status of the Censorate has become increasingly prominent and its power has become increasingly heavy. Especially the four words "inspection officials" have been gradually implemented in the context of the resumption of the "new law".

Cai Bian looked at the dark sky outside and turned toward Funing Hall. He couldn't help but think in his heart: What are the official doing at this time? Are you nervous or uneasy?

At this time, Zhao Xu was not nervous and was having dinner in Funing Palace.

Two people sat opposite him, Empress Meng and Xiao You'e.

Xiao You'e's face was tense, she shyly took out a folding fan, raised her hand to Zhao Xu, and said, "Official family, I'll give it to you."

Zhao Xu looked at her, took it with a smile, opened it and nodded with satisfaction, and said, "My sister's craftsmanship is getting better and better, I like it very much."

Xiao You'e smiled sweetly on her face and sat very well.

Queen Meng glanced at Zhao Xu's desk with four or five folding fans. She saw him hanging this hand around his waist solemnly, touching Xiao You'e's head, and said, "You'e, do you have any wishes?"

Xiao You'e blinked, looked at Empress Meng and looked at Zhao Xu again, with a little confused face, and suddenly said cautiously: "Official family, Brother Eleven has been very obedient recently. Can you stop hitting him again?"

She said, holding the corner of her clothes with both hands, pursing her lips, and looking nervous.

Empress Meng was stunned, but she didn't expect to talk about this when she found Xiao You'e, so she turned to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu looked at Xiao You'e, paused, and smiled and said, "Okay, I won't beat him up in the future."

Xiao You'e was overjoyed and got up and said, "Really?"

Zhao Xu nodded with a smile.

Xiao You'e stared at Zhao Xu with big eyes, and didn't know what to say, so she suddenly ran out.

Empress Meng couldn't hold her back, and when she saw her running out, she said to Zhao Xu: "Official family..."

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "I should have gone to tell Zhao Ji. Don't worry about her for now. Tomorrow, you can summon the noble ladies from the capital, don't say anything, and verbally praise the nobles who donated their wealth."

Empress Meng bowed gently and said, "Yes."

Zhao Xu picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. With a calm expression, he was actually nervous and looked forward to it.

The "new law" will be launched tomorrow. After planning for so long, I finally got on the road.
Chapter completed!
