Four hundred and thirtieth eight chapters settle

There are many people who have the same mind as Cai Bian, and their eyes are also quietly flowing on Zhang Dun.

Zhang Dun is the leader of the "New Party", the most determined and radical reformist faction, and he has always advocated the "full restoration of the new law". For this reason, he made many "extraordinary" preparations and put in extra effort in liquidating the "old party".

Similarly, he also laid a lot of preparations for the "full restoration of the new law", not only major policies and strategies, but also various "new laws", especially in personnel matters. He strongly appointed many "controversial" officials, and he firmly excluded Zeng Bu, Cai Que and other "repeated" people from the court.

Li Quansize's expression was calm, his eyes stayed on Zhang Dun for a moment, turned to Zhao Xu, and thought about his words in his heart, ready to wait for an opportunity to make an offer.

Wang Cun and some people who opposed the "full resumption of the new law" were more or less relieved.

The "New Law" was very controversial during the reign of Emperor Shenzong, so that Empress Dowager Gao couldn't wait to abolish the "New Law" as soon as she ruled the country from behind the curtain.

In fact, except for a few "New Party", most people do not agree with the "full resumption of the new law". They are too eager, and there are too many problems in the "New Law" that need to be carefully sorted out.

They can stand it, not everyone can calm down. Seeing that no one has left the list, Huang Lu, the chief censor, stood up with a scepter, raised his hand to Zhao Xu, and said loudly: "Report to Your Majesty, the 'old party' controls the operation and abolishes the 'new law', causing turmoil in the world and the people are living in poverty. It is already in dire straits, and the trouble needs to be rectified. Officials and families are in charge of the new policy and introduce new policies. It is not advisable to delay. I believe that the new law should be launched as soon as possible to calm people's hearts and correct national affairs. Please give your Majesty a clear guide."

As soon as he finished speaking, several people immediately left the line one after another and said in unison:

"I will give you a brief review, please give your Majesty a clear explanation."

"I will give you a brief review, please give your Majesty a clear explanation."

"I will give you a brief review, please give your Majesty a clear explanation."

Some people watched but didn't move.

Zhao Xu is not Shenzong, nor Renzong. Not to mention returning from the Great Victory, he has a grand prestige. He just said that Liu Shian's shadow outside Zichen Hall is still shrouded here, who dares to speak out?

Zhao Xu looked at Huang Lu and looked at Zhang Dun again. Seeing that he did not speak or show that the person behind him was forced to be a palace, he nodded secretly. Although this great husband was strong, he was not a person who knew how to advance and retreat.

Zhao Xu pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Kaifeng Prefecture."

Cao Zheng was startled, hurriedly stepped out, trying his best to remain calm, and said, "I am here."

Zhao Xu picked up the teacup beside him and drank the tea slowly.

Cao Zheng's expression moved, knelt down and leaned over, saying, "I know the crime."

The courtiers looked at Cao Zheng, who was kneeling in the center, and no one spoke or pleaded for mercy.

Not long ago, a few days before Zhao Xu returned, hundreds of people gathered in Zhongmu County and beat up officials, causing three deaths and more than ten injuries.

Subsequently, Shaowei Temple dispatched 300 people to suppress it. This incident had an extremely bad impact. More than ten cases occurred in various counties in Kaifeng Prefecture, resulting in the death of more than 20 officials. Now everyone in the local area is in danger and dare not take to the streets!

Although the court deliberately suppressed this matter and did not spread out, all the officials present were considered high-ranking officials and knew very well what had happened.

Zhao Xu put down his teacup and looked at the location of the Ministry of War.

Fang Yuanqiao, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, looked solemn, and went out to kneel on the ground, saying in a deep voice: "I know the crime."

In addition to governing various regular troops, the Ministry of War also has a Shaowei Temple, which is the institution that manages the executive soldiers and has a stable position.

As soon as these two people stood up, everyone felt like they were in danger in Zichen Hall, and many people quietly retreated.

Cai Bian bowed and hesitated whether to defend them.

Before he could speak, Zhao Xu said again: "From the memorials submitted by the Ministry of War and everywhere, we can see that there are hundreds of "uprisings" in the Song Dynasty, and there are more than 30 on Jingdong Road alone, with the smallest being more than ten people and the largest being thousands, one after another. Jiangnan West Road even died inexplicably, and there is no explanation yet. My family, I am fighting with Li Xia in front, and you have given me a lot behind me and made trouble for me in the Song Dynasty..."

"I am aware of the crime." Zhang Dun led the way, Cai Bian, Zhang Qi and others held up their scepters and bowed to apologize.

Zhao Xu sat upright, swept over one by one, and said loudly: "I am not asking for guilt. I want to tell you that the foundation is not solid, not to mention the tall buildings, even bricks and tiles will collapse. Your families, selfishness and public intention, the past and the present, must clearly distinguish between selfishness and public intention, and cannot use private interests to mess with public opinion! Remember the lessons of the past, and only by not carrying a burden can you walk steadily and go long-term. Your families are well-read and well-written, and know more about the principles than I do. I hope you can seriously understand my words, walk well, and live up to the country..."

After Zhao Xu finished speaking, Zhang Dun led the way and said again: "I will follow the sages!"

Zhao Xu did not let them waive the gifts, stood up and said in a deep voice: "There are many important tasks next year, including military reform, court reform, land, population, taxes, administration, etc., and there are more than 100 items to be refined. We have no time to wait. We have to go slowly and be in a hurry. We must work diligently and keep going for a while. The Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council, the Six Ministry of the Temples, and then to various prefectures, prefectures, counties and counties, we must work together to eliminate bad policies, and enrich the people and strengthen the country..."

The courtiers held up the tablets and listened quietly.

Many people's ostentatious lights were on Zhang Dun's back.

This great husband was the most determined reformist faction after Wang Anshi. Even if he was swept out of the court, he still kept his original intentions. He has been suppressed over the years and is not sure how cruel he has been.

Similarly, he had a bad temper and even Sima Guang dared to curse in person. As soon as he returned to Beijing, he helped the official family to send Empress Dowager Gao to remove the curtain, and then insisted on punishing Lu Dafang and others!

It can be imagined that he had hatred in his heart.

After he returned to Beijing, he had been trying to "recover a new law in an all-round way". Now, the officials have rejected his thoughts in public. How would he react with Zhang Dun's temper?

Especially Zhang Dun's allies and confidants such as Huang Lu, Li Qingchen and Zhang Dun had a complicated expression and a worried look on his face.

Zhang Dun stood in front, holding the scepter and bowed.

The expression that had always been stern was even more stern, and the whole person was like an angry lion, and his whole body was trembling faintly.

Cai Bian was tense and was very worried that Zhang Dun really wanted to contradict the official family at this time, and there would definitely be no good results!

But Zhang Dun didn't move, just holding the scepter. Everyone could feel the struggle in his heart and body, but he forced himself to do so!

If others can see, Zhao Xu, who is condescending, can see clearly. His eyes flashed with a smile and said, "Su Xianggong has been resigned for a long time, and his prime minister is empty. Zhang Dun acts decisively, has outstanding ability, has rich experience, and is promoted to prime minister. Cai Bian and Wang Cun are the deputy ministers on the left and right, in charge of the Zhengshi Hall, and other government offices. The Prime Minister's government affairs involves a series of reforms and reforms. They are all responsible by the Zhengshi Hall. I hope that all your families can be able to uphold the ancestors of the Song Dynasty, and be worthy of the people and be worthy of the people."

Logically speaking, it was natural for Zhang Dun to become prime minister, and it was already a matter of a long time, and it was not surprising. It was normal for Cai Bian to be promoted, even Wang Cun had been brewing for a long time, and it was not surprising.

But the court officials were silent for a while, as if something had left them unresponsive.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, I will receive the order!" Zhang Dun was the first to bow, his voice loud and his words were straight and his words were straight.

Cai Bian, Li Qingchen and others suddenly woke up and were surprised. They suddenly understood and bowed and said, "I will receive the order!"

There are no fools or stupid people here. I quickly understood the meaning of Zhao Xu's words and looked different, so I still bowed.

In fact, Zhao Xu's words are very simple. Even if Premier Zhang Dun's government affairs do not "recover the new law in a comprehensive manner", he can still act in accordance with the "recover the new law in a comprehensive manner"!

Perhaps in the eyes of Zhang Dun, Cai Bian, Li Qingchen and others, this may be Zhao Xu's concern that the rebound of stubborn forces such as the "old party" is a political compromise and concession.

In the view of Wang Cun and others, it means that Zhao Xu had doubts about Zhang Dun and others' "new law", so he took compromise measures.

In short, both sides were satisfied with Zhao Xu's handling. After all, they all retreated and did not meet each other.

However, a trace of the Minister of Personnel Lin Xi, who was in the crowd, glanced at the front without saying a word.

He watched coldly, and could not see that the official family had a stick and a sweet date, and they obeyed the ministers!

In fact, only Zhao Xu knew in his heart that doing this was not to give in or compromise, but to completely control the rhythm of the "new law" so that advances and retreats are well-founded, and will not lose control, causing turmoil in the world and being uncontrollable!

This is his Song Dynasty, and he must never be out of his control!

...

Zhao Xu settled the controversy about "recommending the new law in full", said a few more words, and left Zichen Palace amid the ministers' voice of "Sending Your Majesty with respect".

When he was telling the truth about going out the side door, Zhao Xu said to himself with emotion: "This Zichen Palace is really too small."
