Chapter 403 Strategy

Zhao Xu did not take He Yi's affairs seriously, and led the army to lie down during the day and leave at night, and returned to Beijing slowly.

But he didn't care, but the court had to care.

The special position of the "governor" is the key driving force of the "new law" in the local area. Moreover, He Yi's incident is obviously the local rebound to the "new law". I don't know how many people are behind it.

If this is not pressed, the governors selected by Zhang Dun, Cai Bian and others will probably be able to return to Beijing before the end of the year, and it will be difficult to arrange these governors in the future.

This will be a huge setback for the ‘New Law’!

September 13th.

This incident began to ferment, and gradually suppressed Zhao Xu's return to Beijing.

Political Affairs Hall.

Zhang Dun and Cai Bian presided over the daily government affairs meetings. Except for the Minister of War Xu Jiang, the Minister of War, were still on Hedong Road, the rest were all there. This was also the highest management of the Song Dynasty court.

Liang Tao sat upright and looked at Zhang Dun and Cai Bian and said, "At present, the measurement of the land in Kaifeng Prefecture has been basically completed, but there have been many difficulties in registering household registration. One is that there are too many refugees and it is impossible to come back for a while. The other is that the population of large gentry households is difficult to register. The other is that every household hides the population and fools the officials at the bottom... Progress reported from Kaifeng Prefecture and various counties, the population of Kaifeng Prefecture is actually 20% less than that of Yuanyou in five years..."

Cai Bian waited for him and said, "We had expected this situation, not surprising. Kaifeng Prefecture is just a place. If you want to investigate the population of our Song Dynasty, you have to play a game across the country. Continue to promote it, and to summarize the issues and improve the methods and methods. What we need is to accumulate experience and reserve enough means to comprehensively promote the "new policy"..."

Liang Tao and the other four ministers nodded. Although Kaifeng Prefecture is the capital of the Song Dynasty, it is just a city after all, and its problems cannot be solved in Kaifeng Prefecture.

Seeing that the conversation was over, Wang Cun, the Minister of Works, coughed and said, "The He Yi's affairs are in a big stir. I heard that He Yi himself has also submitted a memorial to apologize?"

Zhang Dun glanced at him and said, "What else do you want to say? I'll finish it in one breath."

Wang Cun knew that Zhang Dun was unhappy because He Yi was appointed by Zhang Dun and was optimistic. He looked at Cai Bian and others calmly and said, "I have heard that people in the country are impeaching He Yi one after another. There are as many as thirty copies of the report. I wonder if it is true or false?"

Zhang Dun's face was always serious, his eyes were calm, and he said, "It's true."

Wang Cun leaned forward unconsciously and said, "I don't know, what are the two husbands going to do?"

Wang Cun seemed to have a gentle tone, but in fact he was already aggressive and forced Zhang Dun, Cai Bian and others to express his opinions.

Li Qingchen, Lin Xi and others swept over Wang Cun and said nothing.

The question for He Yi is not whether he is really corrupt and abuse of power, but that this is a counterattack by the "conservatives", not for He Yi, nor for Zhang Dun and Cai Bian, but for the fundamental "new law"!

Once He Yi collapses, the Dogunomi card will collapse, and the "old party" will rise up with the wind, and the Song Dynasty and the people will be in chaos in an instant!

Zhang Dun looked at Wang Cun quietly. He was not afraid of chaos, but this chaos must be under his control!

Zhang Dun said lightly: "The other departments are not very disturbing. However, your Ministry of Works has jointly submitted a letter to you. Are you worried that I will not see it, and are you afraid that I will not target you?"

Everyone knew the relationship between the two parties. Zhang Dun did not avoid it, and Wang Cun did not care. He bowed slightly and said, "The Ministry of Works is planning for the country, but I don't know why Mr. Zhang is targeting us?"

Zhang Dun's eyes slowly moved away from his face, looked at everyone, and said, "I have a suggestion that the governors of Guangnan Road, Xizhe Road, and Huainan Road will be transferred back to Beijing, and the imperial court will choose separately."

"No!" As soon as Zhang Dun finished speaking, Wang Cun's face changed slightly and he said anxiously.

These three governors all have a "old party" position, and are the result of the compromise between the "new and old" sides during Su Song's reign!

Cai Bian glanced at him and said, "These three governors are mediocre. Many of them are complaining about, eating and drinking all day long, romance, visiting scenery everywhere, visiting famous scholars, doing many poems, songs, and doing nothing serious..."

Lin Xi said with a muffled face, "These three people have been inspecting each other. Apart from being noble and generous, they are not practical at all. The Ministry of Personnel has received many suggestions. It is said that it is very easy to visit the beautiful rivers and mountains during the day and stay in brothels and singing workshops at night..."

Shao Yuguang, the Minister of Justice, skipped over Wang Cun and said, "After arriving in Beijing, the Ministry of Justice will file a case for investigation."

Wang Cun's face was as deep as water, and his heart was filled with anger. He was isolated in the Political Affairs Hall and knew that he could not continue to be entangled. He directly said: "The officials do not understand. He Yi's affairs are already boiling all over the country. He himself wrote a letter to resign. Why did the two ministers not deal with his affairs but stare at the three of them instead?"

Cai Bian said: "Tell He Yi's affairs to the Censorate to verify. If it is true, the court will have its own laws. As for the three people including Guangnan Road, they are already governors, and it is normal to transfer them back to Beijing."

Wang Cun's face gradually turned pale, and he suppressed his anger and said, "There are people outside who are talking about it. The two ministers want to deal with it like this, and the officials don't say anything. The officials are about to return to Beijing. The officials believe that this is not the scene that the officials wanted to see when they return from the army."

Zhang Dun's sword eyebrows gradually stood up and turned to Wang Cun, saying, "This does not require Wang Shangshu to worry about this. I heard that the Ministry of Works has many problems in the past six months of the project, and the cost is as high as 700,000 yuan?"

Wang Cun's expression became increasingly unfair and said, "The subordinate has not found out yet. I don't know where Mr. Zhang learned it from?"

Lai Zhishao interrupted and said, "The Ministry of Justice has received a lot of complaints and is preparing to investigate with the Censorate. Wang Shangshu, if there are any clues, please convey them to our department two."

Wang Cunyue found out that the "New Party" and others had already united and were ready to suppress He Yi's incident.

But how could he let Zhang Dun and others get what they want!

Wang Cun snorted coldly in his heart, the more ugly the face appeared, and said, "Since the court decided to investigate the Ministry of Works, I have nothing to say. But I will write to the official for He Yi's affairs."

Zhang Dun naturally ignored it, looked around everyone again, and said in a deep voice: "There are three important tasks at present. First, the 'Kaifeng Prefecture pilot' must be completed on time and must not be delayed. If anyone or which department delays, I will never be merciless! Second, the official should pay attention to this matter when the official returns to Beijing. Third, the 'new law' will be fully launched next year, so we must make full preparations for this, especially the governors and prefects of all walks of life. We must be capable people, talk big, and talk about poetry and songs. Please concentrate and not delay the national affairs..."

Wang Cun looked at Zhang Dun, his face was as deep as water, his eyes were as fire, and his heart became calmer.

Is this because of He Yi, or did Zhang Dun have made plans?

If this continues, can their people still gain a foothold in the court and the national officialdom?

Cai Bian looked at Lin Xi and said, "The Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate's Beijing inspection will have results at the end of October and January."

Lin Xi leaned over and said, "Yes."

Cai Bian said again: "The Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Personnel, Censorate, and Ministry of Revenue should be established in various vertical institutions, and personnel, powers and responsibilities should be clearly divided into all aspects. After the officials return to Beijing, they will further refine the military and political affairs and government affairs. Each department must come up with their own plans. Before the end of the year, work with each department to decide the following strategy..."
