The reaction of tangerine peel was expected by Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu sat on the chair, holding a fan in his right hand, slapping it gently, with a calm expression.

The weather is a bit hot today, his body is sticky and his head is sweating from time to time.

Chen Pi was frightened. Looking at Zhao Xu's calm expression, she became more and more worried and whispered: "The official family really cannot be killed."

Zhao Xu closed the fan, picked up the teacup, and smiled and said, "Just watch it."

Chen Pi looked at Zhao Xu's calmer face and his scalp became numb.

Chu You didn't say anything, and would occasionally go out and come in again.

After drinking the tea, Zhao Xu felt a little relieved, and stood on the chair, pinching the earlobe with his right hand, still thinking freely.

He has no choice but to retreat now and must give it a try!

The consequences of failure were too serious, which prompted him to be more serious than ever before, and his mind was always running high.

As for what Chen Pi said, "can't be killed", Zhao Xu did not take it seriously. If he didn't kill, he could only wait for the country to be destroyed.

Time passed little by little, and the guards came to report until the sun began to set westward.

After listening outside, Chu You came in and said to Zhao Xu: "The people from the official family and the government affairs hall have left the palace one after another. The prime minister and the Privy Council did not leave. The front office of the palace mobilized troops and arranged them at the doors of the palace."

Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Is there a large number of people?"

Chu You thought for a while and said, "There shouldn't be many. There are not many soldiers in Kaifeng City, and some of them are in the palace. The emergency mobilization of the Palace Front Office in such a short time will be at most one or two thousand people."

Zhao Xu nodded slightly. He had more than three thousand in his hand and said, "Chu You, are those two hundred people ready?"

Chu You raised his hand solemnly and said, "Don't worry, the official family is at Daqing Gate, waiting for the official family's order at any time!"

Zhao Xu turned to Chenpi, with a cold face and said, "Look at Ji Sheng, Su Che, I want to take action against him! Take the time, Ji Sheng tell me before getting off work!"

Chen Pi seemed to know who Zhao Xu said just now, and his heart was as cold as a rock. Then he gritted his teeth, secretly became fierce, and tried his best to remain calm, saying, "Yes, the villain will do it now!"

Chu You stood still.

At this time, senior officials from the three provinces and six ministries walked out of Xuande Gate with different expressions.

Despite the righteous words of the Three Prime Ministers, as a senior official of the court, he knew everything that happened in the palace, especially the officials who continued to attack the Three Prime Ministers.

It seems that he is "opposing the treacherous Cai Jing as the commander of the strategy", but in the eyes of most of them, it is actually a self-defense counterattack from the three relatives of the government.

At the same time, the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, Han Zongdao, and the chief censor Ma Yan, left hurriedly.

The two of them have special identities. The governor of Kaifeng Prefecture is a second-rank official and has always been the "Captain Prime Minister"; the Chief Censor is in charge of the Censorate and the "Feng Xian", not the same as Lu Dafang and others.

The two avoided the crowd and came to a teahouse. They waved the waiter away, with a solemn expression and remained silent for a long time.

After a while, Ma Yan said, "Brother Han, what do you think of what the Prime Minister and the others do?"

Han Zongdao frowned and looked at him, saying, "You are not absent from the official family that day, Guan Su, you will be sent away by Gongshen, and the prime minister was so distressed that he could not speak of. If the Empress Dowager was not here, these Gongs were not the opponents of Gongshen."

Ma Yan was shocked and said, "You mean, the official family is going to attack the Empress Dowager?"

Han Zongdao was about to drink tea, but he almost sprayed a sip of tea on Ma Yan's face.

Ma Yan said oh twice, knowing that he had made a mistake, and immediately said, "That won't be. But if the official wants to take charge of the rule, the Empress Dowager cannot get around."

Han Zongdao wiped his mouth, looked at him angrily, and said, "Call me sneakily, what do you want to say?"

Ma Yan took a deep breath, looked a little solemn, and said, "I want to know, what are you going to court tomorrow?"

Han Zongdao looked at Ma Yan's serious expression, silently put down his hand, and hesitated: "Maybe, it's not necessary that we say anything, right?"

Ma Yan snorted immediately and said, "Don't forget, Cai Jing is the former governor of Kaifeng Prefecture. Others can escape, can you escape?"

Han Zongdao slowly frowned and said, "You are the Chief Censor, you can't escape, right? Judging from the meaning of the prime minister and the other two husbands, I'm afraid I won't be kind easily..."

Ma Yan thought, saying, "What I worry about is that they will be out of line and force the officials to promise something."

The bureaucratic system of the Song Dynasty should have begun to expand and consolidated in the period of Emperor Renzong. They fought against the imperial power, and at the same time they continued to erode the imperial power, and obtained the privilege of "not killing scholars and officials and those who wrote letters to speak about things". With this "right to avoid death", the confrontation between court officials and the emperor became more and more intense.

When it came to Shenzong, even with the support of Shenzong, Wang Anshi could not carry the reform to the end. Countless people attacked him one after another. In the end, Wang Anshi stopped prejudice twice, and Shenzong had to give in. The vigorous reform almost died!

Are the ministers of the court now trying to imitate the old things and force the officials to make promises?

Han Zongdao suddenly woke up, and then he looked calm and silent.

They all knew that Lu Dafang and others' attitude towards reform was to force the officials to promise not to become the Emperor Shenzong?

Judging from their observations over the past period, this young official who has just shown his strength is probably not so easy to surrender! He is young and energetic, sharp and stubborn. If he really wants to be stubborn and refuses to agree, will he do extreme things?

Ma Yan looked at Han Zong and said, "What are you going to do?"

Han Zongdao frowned deeply and said with some hatred: "How come things have developed to this point!"

He was still thinking about the word "extreme", and he seemed to see blood in front of him, which made him feel cold.

Ma Yan's tone was a little heavier and said, "I'm asking you, what are you going to do?"

Han Zongdao snorted and said, "What should I do? What do you think? If we don't agree to the prime minister, we will definitely settle us afterwards. If we agree, even if the official loses today and take power in the future, we can still spare us?"

Ma Yan was also confused. These husbands didn't think about it. They were old and as long as they were clear-headed, they still didn't want to be with them!

The two picked up the teacup at the same time and remained silent for a while.

The teacup fell down, and looked at each other at the same time, opening his mouth to speak but stopping.

In the end, Ma Yan said first, "Let's just bit the bullet and stop talking?"

Han Zongdao's brow seemed to have not let go, and he sighed, "I'm afraid it won't work. Forget it, it's useless to think so much. I'll come up tomorrow. I'll deal with it when I see it. I hope they don't go too far."

Ma Yan's mouth moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

...

Liang Mansion.

Liang Tao, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was not among the ranks of the palace, so he was naturally not a close confidant of Lu Dafang and others, nor was he considered an important official of the court.

He was sitting in the mansion at this moment, drinking and looking sad.

At this time, a young man came over, looked at Liang Tao's appearance, and said worriedly: "Second uncle, there is no way?"

Liang Tao looked up at him and said, "The prime minister said to investigate, Su Shaozhi said to investigate, the Privy Council and Ji Provincial all said to investigate, but there was no movement at all. The salary urging documents on Huanqing Road were one after another, and Xia Guo was ready to move..."

The young man sat down opposite Liang Tao and said, "Is Jishen still unwilling to reissue the money and food?"

Liang Tao snorted coldly and said, "Su Shaozhi said, if you don't find out clearly, how can you issue it? What if you 'disappear' again? The treasury doesn't have that much money or food."

The young man was a little anxious and said, "What should I do on the other side of Huanqing Road? If the Xia people suddenly call you and there is no food or grass on Huanqing Road, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
