Chapter 444: Differences

Wang Cun heard it very clearly. Zhao Xu was talking about the "two candidates". Then, Chen Zhen, Su Shi, and Shen Kuo, which one is redundant?

Wang Cun thought urgently that Chen Jian was his man. If Chen Jian was promoted, his position in the Political Affairs Hall would definitely be more important. Su Shi was not tolerated by the government and the people, and he should not come back, but he was the gentleman of the official family in front of him!

Shen Kuo, he is the "New Party" and advocates reform. Now he is in charge of the Imperial College and is highly valued!

Wang Cun couldn't figure it out thoroughly and looked at Empress Meng quietly.

Empress Meng smiled and said, without any prompts.

Wang Cun was not sure, so he pretended to be contemplative and cautious: "Report to the official family, the position of Minister of Works is of great importance. Chen Xian, Su Shi, and Shen Kuo are all suitable candidates. I am obedient to the official family's decision."

This Wang Cun used to talk nonsense. Zhao Xu could see clearly. He put down the dictionary in his hand, picked up the bowl in his hand, and said, "You ask for your order to go to Jiangnan West Road, what are you going to do?"

Wang Cun couldn't figure out Zhao Xu's true thoughts, and knew that Zhao Xu was also very angry at He Yi's death. He hesitated a little and said in a deep voice: "The official family, Jiangnan West Road is really too unreasonable. He resisted the imperial envoy and forced the imperial envoy to death, and refused to pardon his great crime! My opinion is that all the chief officials of Jiangnan West Road will be dismissed and exiled to Danzhou, and vigorously rectified government affairs to implement the "new law" and achieve the goal of the official family to enrich the people and strengthen the country."

Zhao Xu ate slowly, without a trace of expression on his face, and said, "We must solve the problem of Jiangnan West Road resisting the new law, arresting people and exiles, these are all means, which are effective, but not very effective."

The "old party" resisted the "new law" not for a day or two, not for one person or two. If a few people were arrested and some people could be exiled, the reformers in history would not end in failure again and again.

After all, Wang Cun is a conservative. He resisted the 'new law' in his heart. Although he is now 'emphasized and slandered', he still said: "The official, taking 'He Yi's death' as ​​an opportunity, vigorously rectified the Jiangnan West Road, and at the same time promoting the progress of the 'new law', imitating it as Kaifeng Prefecture. I believe that the goal of the 'new law' can be achieved in at most five years!"

Still no actual talk.

Zhao Xu shook his head secretly. At this time, even if Wang Cun said something against him, Zhao Xu would be more happy and look up to him.

‘Su Xianggong chose the wrong successor…’

Zhao Xu shook his head secretly and said casually: "'Military Reform', I heard that it was your opposition to charge forward? Do you know that the draft was revised by me personally and was so righteous. Are you dissatisfied with me?"

Wang Cun's expression suddenly changed, and he knelt on the ground with a thud, knocked his head to the ground, and said tremblingly: "I don't dare! But, it's just that the generals on the frontier have too much military power, which may threaten the safety of the government's country. Please give me a clear understanding!"

Zhao Xu ate the dish and said, "Do you want a power forward or someone instructs you? I heard that Su Xianggong's threshold has been broken and he has moved for the second time."

Wang Cun's face was pale and said in a trembling voice: "I am dedicated to being an official, and considering the country and country of the Song Dynasty. I have no selfishness, and the sun and the moon can be seen!"

Zhao Xu picked up a dish for Empress Meng and said, "In five days, I will hold a court meeting to reward meritorious deeds, so the general strategy of 'military reform' must be decided, and the reign will be changed after the New Year, and it will be promulgated with many 'new laws'."

Wang Cun's mouth twitched a few times and said, "I understand."

"After the reward, I will order you to go to Jiangnan West Road to prepare for me clearly. Don't leave any endings. If anything happens in the future, my board will hit you." Zhao Xu didn't look at Wang Cun and said straightforwardly.

Wang Cun's scalp was numb, his whole body was cold, his head pressed against the ground tightly, and said in a trembling and deep voice: "I will receive the order."

"Go." Zhao Xu said.

"I'm asking for my retreat." Wang Cun kowtowed heavily, then stood up, and did not dare to raise his head, so he quickly retreated.

Zhao Xu picked up the soup and gave it to Queen Meng, saying, "Is Mr. Zhang on duty tonight in the Privy Council?"

Chenpi, who was standing on the side of the door, quickly stepped forward and said, "Yes."

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "I'll go to the Privy Council tonight."

"Yes." Tangerine peel responded.

Empress Meng ate slowly, wondering why Zhao Xu asked her to meet Wang Cun together.

Except for Funing Palace, Wang Cun's back was soaked, and he felt scared in waves.

‘Misproblems…’

Wang Cun murmured in panic. In order to gain a foothold in the Political Affairs Hall, he chose the strategy of "temporary dependence" Zhang Dun. Now it seems that it is a complete mistake!

He was sweating coldly on his head, and he felt regretful.

He forgot whether he could gain a foothold in the Political Affairs Hall, not in Zhang Dun, but in the palace and in the official family!

Wang Cun walked while thinking about countermeasures.

He no longer cared about Zhang Dun, thinking about how to win back the holy heart!

The scenes that happened in Funing Palace just now were in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. The government obviously dissatisfied with him, which was the real dissatisfaction, not the momentary anger!

‘What to do…’

Wang Cun was so panicked that he didn't have a blue tiled house, but went straight out of the palace!

Cai Bian stood at the door of the green tiled room. He originally wanted to ask him what he had talked to the official family, but when he saw that he was in a state of dismay, he looked solemn and silent.

The official has taken action!

Cai Bian was very worried and was thinking about countermeasures, but how much ability do they have to convince the officials in the palace who were determined to do their own way?

The "old party"'s head-on approach will definitely not work. Just admonishment will not work.

"I hope my grandpa can have a solution." Cai Bian sighed lightly.

At this time, Zhang Dun came straight to the Honglu Temple. Although the Honglu Temple was cut off, the courtyard was still there, and the generals who entered the capital were all arranged here.

Zhe Keshi, Guo Cheng, Zhong Jianzhong and others have been waiting for many days. The reward expected by the court has not come yet, so they are inevitably thinking and various discussions are getting louder.

But Zhang Dun came to the door and still surprised them.

The highest official position, Zhe Keshi, stood up and said to the courtesy: "I have met my grand grandfather."

Even though Guo Cheng and others were in danger and were not afraid of life and death on the battlefield, they seemed to be respectful to civil officials and were born with no one to be unfair.

Zhang Dun glanced at him, took out a note and handed it over, and said, "The reason why the reward was postponed is because of this, you all take a look."

Zhe Keshi was tall and thin, and he was the most calm and quiet. He stood in front, took it, opened it and looked at it, then frowned after a few glances.

He found that this was the "Military Reform Strategy" of the court, and there were some basic frameworks in it. What made him frown was that the "Main Strategy" planned to divide the country into 30 war zones, each of which was stationed 30,000 troops, and belonged to various strategies and commanders. They had independent numbers and were no longer affiliated with the imperial guards. In some critical moments, they had the independent power to mobilize troops and conquer, and only needed to report it afterwards!

Zhe Keshi had a calm face and handed the note to Guo Cheng beside him.

The notes were not much, only entries. Guo Cheng was short and his expression was silent, and he handed it to Zhong Jianzhong.

Zhong Jianzhong didn't look at it at all, and he bypassed his younger brother Zhong Shizhong and handed it directly to Wang En.

Wang En and others looked over and saw that the expressions of the group of people changed constantly, and they looked at each other quietly, not daring to talk too much.

The military generals of the Song Dynasty never had military power!

‘A general does not know the soldiers, and a soldier does not know the general’, this is not empty talk!

This note gave too much military power, and gave up many constraints on military officials and military power, which was a complete subversion of the "ancestral system" of the Song Dynasty!

As military officials, they knew very well that the dangers were related to the safety of the country, and the court would never agree!

Zhang Dun came to this trip in person, which shows the seriousness of it!

Zhe Keshi, Guo Cheng and others looked at each other and saw the condensation in each other's eyes.

Zhe Keshi turned his head to look at Zhang Dun, handed the note back, raised his hand, and said, "These are major policies of the court. If we don't know, if we participate, the grand grandfather should not show it to me."

Zhang Dun took back his note and said, "You will see it in less than two days. I won't ask you anything or say anything. If someone wants to ask you for your opinion, just answer according to your original intention. Think about it carefully these days."

After Zhang Dun finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Leaving Zhe Keshi, Guo Cheng and other groups looked at each other in surprise.

The grandmaster came here in person and just showed them a note?

Not long after, when Zhe Keshi was keen, Guo Cheng and others became calm and silent.

Even the Grand Prince wants to give up his honor and surrender this trip, which shows that the differences between the court are indeed very serious. Can these military officials be involved at will?
