Chapter 557: Attitude and Sincerity

Seeing that Feng Qi was blocked by Zhang Dun, Zhao Xu handed Brother Quan in his arms to Queen Meng beside him, and looked at the ministers and said, "When it comes to Jiangnan West Road, the government and the public have always been secretive about this matter. Today, I take this opportunity to talk about my thoughts and attitudes."

The court officials quickly turned sideways, with a solemn expression and solemnity.

The Jiangnan West Road incident was a matter that had been delayed for a long time and made the government and the people worried.

From the implementation of the "new law" that was strongly resisted from Jiangnan West Road to the "death of He Yi", then various strange things happened on Jiangnan West Road, including the fact that officials at all levels sent by the court could not leave the yamen. Not long ago, Ying Guan, Luan Qi and others "deathed" in prison for no reason.

All the things made the court angry.

It was only after the court suppressed its anger for two months that it sent Zong Ze to lead the Hu Wei army to go, determined to clear everything.

However, Zong Ze led the Huwei Army to come and gathered the governor, governor, strategy, general and other important positions. He was incredibly powerful in Jiangnan West Road, and he was simply a "local emperor"!

This kind of power, let alone local officials, cannot do this.

Throughout history, such local officials are rare. Whenever they appear, they will be the end of the dynasty.

Therefore, Zong Ze's incident has always been a huge heart-wrenching problem in the court and the public. The "New Party" is strong and has the firm support of Zhao Xu. The "old Party" is hard to speak, and it is even more a big reason for "He Yi's death". It has gradually become a secret matter in the court and the public.

Now, when the officials mentioned it today, they have thousands of words to say, but they are in their throats, and they are holding back and listening patiently.

Zhao Xu glanced at Wen Yanbo's expression and seemed to move. He picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea and said, "First, the 'Shaosheng New Policy' is a prescription for the imperial court to summarize the serious illnesses of the state affairs of the Song Dynasty. It is the consensus of all the people of the court, not the thoughts of one or two people, nor is it the powerful ministers for their own selfish interests. On this point, I firmly believe in the great minister and the righteous intention of the noble family to serve the country without any doubt. For all kinds of criticisms and rumors, I will carefully examine and listen to them, and try my best to listen to them as both parties. If we discuss and resolve the problem internally, we cannot evolve into party disputes between the government and the opposition, power struggle, you will drag me back, and I will stumbling to you. This situation must be eliminated resolutely."

"Second, the 'Shaosheng New Deal' will inevitably cause many chaos. We must see clearly whether these chaos has been covered up and exposed, or whether it is a 'New Deal'. It is not scary to have problems. The terrible thing is that we do not solve the problem, but try to solve the people who find the problem and cover up the things in it. This kind of behavior is terrible and common."

"Third, the 'Shaosheng New Policy' is an innovation and change, which is different from the past. Some are retro and some are adapted to solve problems, not creating problems, not disrespectful to the 'ancestral system' and unfilial. I and my family will look at how to change, where to change, and where to do the purpose."

"Fourth, no matter it is the so-called 'new party', 'old party', or anything else, it does not exist in my eyes. In my eyes, your family is a court official, a cadre, my right-hand man, and a good assistant to govern the country. Maybe they are close and distant, but I care more about whether your family is willing to act for the king and the people, and seek benefits for the family and the country."

"Fifth, it is the situation of reform. The court restructuring, military restructuring and local restructuring are in line with the needs, not targeting people or forces. For the official positions, I also require the Political Affairs Hall and the Ministry of Personnel to come impartially and abandon positions and prejudice. I have discussed with Daxianggong and others that a Consultant Yuan will have the right to decide the candidates for independent institutions such as the Censorate and Dali Temple. This will enable the Dali Temple and the Censorate to effectively check and balance the court. In addition, it can also impeach the Political Affairs Hall and the Six Ministers, including Daxianggong, to ensure the integrity and dedication of the court."

"The sixth is about Jiangnan West Road."

The courtiers bowed, listened carefully, and distinguished.

In the words of this young official, he was all about the "Shaosheng New Policy". Judging from his words, his attitude was very transcendent, and he was still concerned about the national affairs itself, and he did not mean to get involved in the struggle between the government and the opposition.

This is very different from that of the late emperor.

The late emperor gradually came down in the struggle between the government and the opposition and became the leader of the "New Party".

Wen Yanbo had already opened his eyes and looked thoughtful.

Su Shi's expression was gentle, as if he understood something.

More officials looked at each other and nodded repeatedly.

This is the emperor they want. The emperor should be detached from the world and be on the ground instead of going to the scene in person and participating in the struggle between the government and the public.

The courtiers continued to look at Zhao Xu and waited for him, with their attitude towards "Jiangnan West Road".

“For Jiangnan West Road,”

Zhao Xu took a sip of tea and said, "My idea is that it must be rectified seriously. Resisting the 'new policy' is too great, and he dares to kill the imperial envoy. This has never happened to me in the Song Dynasty! Zong Ze led his troops to the court just in case, and it was also a demonstration of the firm attitude of the court!"

"After the investigation of He Yi's death and the purging of the officialdom of Jiangnan West Road, Zong Ze will lead his troops to the capital. Zong Ze's arrival in Jiangnan is temporary, special, and adaptable measures, not the direction of reform. In our Song Dynasty, there is no allowance of feudal states."

"It's almost a year before Zong Ze had to lead his troops back to Beijing. The court should select new governors, governors, strategy and generals, and other officials of all levels, including."

"When it comes to Jiangnan West Road, you can openly talk about it. If you have any ideas, you can go to the ministers of various departments, or the ministers of the Zhengshi Hall, or come to the Zhengshi Hall directly to talk to me in person. If there is any problem, we will adjust and make mistakes, we will change. In terms of planning for the country, I hope that I will be open-minded. Your family can also abandon factions and prejudice with a fair heart, and do not hide it or expand it infinitely."

"Your Majesty's wise!"

The court officials waited for Zhao Xu to finish his words, quickly raised their hands and said loudly.

Empress Meng sat next to Zhao Xu, her tense face calmly, and she unconsciously showed a smile.

Although, she is Zhao Xu's pillow.

However, due to the embarrassing dangers of her background and situation, she has never been able to understand Zhao Xu. In the chaotic and complicated national affairs, Zhao Xu has always given her the impression that she seems gentle, but in fact she is cunning and has fierce means.

After hearing Zhao Xu's long words, she finally let go of the big rock in her heart.

She could hear and see clearly. This was Zhao Xu's truth, his true inner thoughts.

Zhang Dun should be the one who knows Zhao Xu the most. He could hear the sincerity in Zhao Xu's words, a serious face and smile on his eyes, showing a sense of confidence.

“Wow…”

Suddenly, in the silence, Brother Quan stretched out his big eyes, blinked and screamed twice.
