Seeing Zhao Xu looking at him like this, Zhang Dun bowed and said, "Officials, Wang Cun, and Su Shi should be able to stabilize some people. Next year, the "new law" will be rolled out, and the resistance will be greatly weakened. The amnesty will be enough to win over more people and reduce the voices of opposition."

Zhao Xu's heart was trembling and he smiled.

He knew how to come over. Although Zhang Dun was upright, he was tortuous and twists and turns for the "new law".

Zhao Xu admires those who are upright and would rather die than surrender, and also admires those who are able to sacrifice themselves for the sake of great cause and are willing to bear it silently.

Looking back on the rapid changes in his role since he took power, Zhang Dun should have suppressed a lot of things.

Zhao Xu picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and before he put it down, he said, "There is still a lot of people in the Zhengshi Hall. Who do you think is more suitable?"

Zhang Dun's face was always serious, and he could not see any change in expression. He paused a little and said, "According to me, among the six ministers, Lin Xi is the strongest and has the most resolute personality, followed by Xu General, who has the temperament of prime minister. Li Qingchen is similar to me, and he is more decisive and has little tortuousness. Liang Tao came to Shao again. Su Shi... This man's character, talent, and personality are the best choices, but he is not a person in the career of the officialdom. Huang Lu, the chief censor, can be a master of a minister, and he may not be able to do so."

Zhao Xu listened quietly to Zhang Dun's words and was also considering the names of these people.

Except for Xu Jiang and Liang Tao, these people are basically the "new party" recommended by Zhang Dun, Cai Bian and others. They have no bad abilities and experience, but due to the party struggles and the ups and downs of officialdom for many years, they have more or less problems in their personalities.

The revenge and liquidation against the "old party" was certainly Zhang Dun's will, but without Zhang Dun, they were afraid that they would be even more fierce.

"Party struggle" is a life-and-death struggle, without any warmth. Even the most upright person, no matter how honest he is, he will become a power monster.

It is already commendable that Zhang Dun can still maintain this way.

Zhao Xu admired Zhang Dun very much, tilted his head slightly, thought about it again and again, saying, "Lin Xi, Li Qingchen, and Xu General were appointed as the Minister of Political Affairs, and also served as the Minister of the Ministry of Education."

Lin Xi and Li Qingchen were both Zhang Dun's die-hard political allies, and their relationship lasted for more than ten or twenty years. After experiencing the test of the Yuanyouchu, they were a firm reformist faction and Zhang Dun's right-hand man.

Suddenly adding these two people to the Zhengshi Hall will undoubtedly greatly increase Zhang Dun's control over the Zhengshi Hall, the control of the court, and the efforts to implement the "new law"!

Zhang Dun naturally understood, and immediately stood up, leaned on the ground and knelt down, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor's kindness is shaking, and I will work hard with my remaining body and strength to be sure to not let down the holy will!"

Zhao Xu quickly stood up, walked down, helped him up, and said, "We monarchs and ministers don't need to do this. Let's talk less about some things in advance. Go to the Imperial Garden and have a good chat."

Zhao Xu could not communicate with Zhang Dun in advance about the "military reform", "comprehensive reinstatement of new laws", and support for the "old party". Zhang Dun must have suffered grievances during this period.

Zhang Dun stood up with a serious expression, bowed beside Zhao Xu, and said, "I listen to the Hadith."

Zhao Xu waved his hand and went straight out of the Chuigong Hall and turned to the Imperial Garden.

Now the entire outer court is full of civil servants and military generals. They gather together in groups of three or three, talking about various things, waiting for the dinner.

The scene they saw was: the official family and the grand grandfather walked almost side by side, the official family spoke with a smile on their faces, with a friendly expression and a gentle attitude, and looked back at the grand father from time to time.

The grand grandson bent slightly, slowed down a little, nodded from time to time, with a smile on his face, as if he had a great time talking to the official.

The two of them walked under the eaves of the corridor, laughing loudly from time to time.

Some people felt relieved when they saw such a scene and suddenly became relaxed.

Cai Bian, Li Qingchen, Lin Xi and others stood at the corner of the Political Affairs Hall. Seeing this scene, Cai Bian smiled and said, "There are rumors outside, saying that 'the emperors are incompatible, the new law is over', and it is also true that the government should 'clean the world and return to the sacred government'..."

Li Qingchen sneered and said, "They are so good at speculation. I'll give them a stool and chair, so they can tell fortunes!"

Lin Xi glanced at Li Qingchen indifferently and said, "It's okay for them to talk nonsense outside, but I'm afraid someone will cooperate in the court."

Li Qingchen sneered and said, "The various etiquette codes of the Ministry of Rites are almost done, and there are clear restrictions on 'official ethics'. If they dare to do anything randomly, I will send them all to the prison and then send them to Lingnan when they come out!"

Seeing that Chen Xian looked bad, Cai Bian waved his hand with a smile and said, "The purpose of the court's law is to curb the chaos in the court and to crack down on phenomena such as "officials are not kind, officials are not clear, and officials are not used". It is not used to eliminate dissidents. Li Shangshu, be careful of his words."

Li Qingchen glanced at Chen Zhen, without any intention of explanation, but said: "Grandpa Cai, when will Mr. Wang go to Jiangnan West Road? How long has this been delayed?"

Cai Bian pointed at him and said, "Don't be so distant among colleagues. In two days, there are some things that the Political Affairs Hall needs to be consistent in their attitudes."

Li Qingchen understood and did not say anything else.

The end of the year is approaching, and the reign will be changed next year. There are too many things that need to be decided in more than a month. Although Wang Cun is optional in the Political Affairs Hall, he is still a "right prime minister". When he should sign, show up, and endorse him, he must be there.

Chen Xian saw Zhao Xu and Zhang Dun walking, talking and laughing, but his expression was not relaxed.

The intimacy between the official family and Zhang Dun will invisibly put huge pressure on them.

Wang Cun and Su Shi were also taking a walk now, talking about the affairs of the Ministry of Works and the court.

Wang Cun underestimated Su Shi in his heart, and believed that this person could not go far or long in his career, but this person had reputation and background. Not to mention his younger brother Su Zhe, the "Shu Party" alone should not be underestimated.

Their "old party" needs unity, especially the headquarters of the Ministry of Works.

The two saw Zhao Xu and Zhang Dun turn around the corner, go to the Imperial Garden, and stop at the same time.

Wang Cun felt a little depressed, but smiled again and said, "It's rumored that the official family wants to abandon his grand grandfather. Shangshu Su, what do you think?"

Su Shi looked at this scene and didn't know what to say.

He came from the Shenzong Dynasty. At that time, Emperor Shenzong and Wang Anshi also knew each other and trusted each other with great confidence, but in the end they stopped seeing each other twice.

The unpredictable changes in the precepts are not something that can be concluded at all.

Who can guarantee what kind of abacus they have in their hearts while chatting and laughing?

Seeing Su Shi remained silent, Wang Cun smiled more and said, "I know the situation is difficult now, but there is no need to be discouraged. As long as Su Shangshu does the right thing, the government will see it. Although these rumors have been stolen recently, they are not completely out of nowhere."

Su Shi thought for a while and said, "Mr. Wang, can I make the decision on the affairs of the Ministry of Works? Money and grain are in and out, project verification, and official appointment and removal..."

Wang Cun looked motionless and thought to himself that Su Shi really didn't understand the officialdom, or did he say so on purpose?

As soon as he left, the person behind him was about to make a big fight?

Wang Cun suddenly smiled and said, "I may not be able to do some things."

Su Shi still had a congested face, as if he had just seen the expressions of Zhao Xu and Zhang Dun.

He stopped talking and looked at Zhao Xu and Zhang Dun again. Their backs were in the long corridor, and under the setting sun, a long shadow was drawn.
