Chapter 653 Boundaries

Su Song was not surprised and said, "Yes."

Zhang Dun quietly looked at Su Song for a moment and said, "Third, the power of the Advisory Council must be restricted and should not be expanded arbitrarily."

The prospects for the Advisory House are uncertain.

During the repeated conversation between Zhang Dun and Zhao Xu, although Zhao Xu did not say it clearly, Zhang Dun could deeply feel that the power of this "Advisory Council" will be continuously expanded in the future and will be expanded to the point of governing the Political Affairs Hall!

This is the ‘new check and balance’.

This kind of checks and balances is a stable situation in the court, a bid to balance the powerful ministers, and a bid to balance the "New Party".

Zhang Dun was not surprised by Zhao Xu's method, nor did he mean to object. He was not a powerful minister, and he never thought of being a powerful minister, checking and balancing him, checking and balancing the government affairs hall or the court, and checking and balancing the "New Party".

But he was worried that this "Advisory Council" would become the fuse and battlefield of new party struggles in a short period of time.

In the long run, greater power may be brewing.

The power of the "Advisory Council" is very high at present. As it continues to develop, it will continue to expand. At that time, it may become a wild horse without restraint.

Su Song could understand Zhang Dun’s concerns, but he didn’t expect that Zhang Dun’s three requests would be this.

Some are simple.

"I thought you would ask the Advisory Council to inform the Political Affairs Council in advance? It seems that you are very clear about yourself and have not lost your mind."

Su Song looked at Zhang Dun and said.

With the status of Zhang Dun as the Grand Prince, the Song Dynasty had never established a country. In addition, as the leader of the "New Party", he controlled the government affairs, and his brothers were Privy Councilors, and he controlled the military power.

It can be said that Zhang Dun was one of the largest powerful ministers in the history of the Central Plains dynasty.

If it weren't for the national conditions of the Song Dynasty, not many people really thought that Zhang Dun would have committed a rebellious attempt, otherwise he would have been torn to pieces and died without a place to bury him.

Zhang Dun said: "I am very sober, and I also hope that Mr. Su can be very sober. The Consultative Yuan must have rules and not act recklessly. If Mr. Su arrives in Beijing, the Consultative Yuan is in chaos and causes trouble, I will insist on driving people."

In addition to being able to control the Political Affairs Hall, the Advisory Yuan also has many privileges. For example, the Censorate and the Ministry of Justice cannot investigate wantonly. To arrest the Advisory Yuan, the Advisory Yuan requires the consent of the Advisory Yuan, otherwise all of them will be invalid and the investigators will be held accountable.

Therefore, what Zhang Dun can do on the surface is to drive people away.

If Zhang Dun drove people away, few people would be able to stay in Kaifeng City.

Su Song pondered for a while and said, "You should be very clear that the government will not allow the government affairs hall to be harmonious with the Consultative Yuan. The emergence of the Consultative Yuan is to check and balance the government affairs hall, especially the government affairs. Many government affairs you promote are not satisfied with and difficult to say. In the past, he would remind or insist on pushing. This is one of the reasons why you have more and more conflicts with the government. The Consultative Yuan will ease your tension with the government, and you should be aware of it. For the Consultative Yuan, I hope that the Grand Duke will have the heart and demeanor of the Grand Duke."

It would be impossible to gain a foothold in Kaifeng Prefecture, especially an old party boss like Su Song, without Zhang Dun's acquiescence.

Su Song has a clear understanding of himself, and Zhang Dun's words are heartfelt words.

Zhang Dun was dissatisfied and raised his eyebrows and said, "'Shaosheng New Deal' is an arrow shot out. There is no reason to turn back. I will not allow anyone to obstruct. If the Consultative Yuan and the Political Affairs Hall have a conflict, you should know that I will not be ruthless. I am not Anshi's husband. We have learned a lesson and will not give you a chance."

"Yuanyou's renewal" is almost fatal to the "New Party" and is an extremely profound lesson for Zhang Dun, Cai Bian and others. Therefore, the return of the "New Party" and the liquidation of the "Old Party" is also extremely cruel.

Su Song said: "The arrow was not turned back. I did not agree with Yuanyou's complete abolition of the 'new law' at the beginning, and now I will not ask the court to change its course. However, arrows cannot turn back. They can be slower or turn. They are not knowing that there is a mistake, but they still go all the way to the dark. I hope that my grandfather will show his mind and courage. The problems that arise during the implementation of the 'Shaosheng New Policy' can be denied and corrected."

Zhang Dun looked at him and said, "The court must be united. Even if it is corrected, it is internal. It is not impeachment, attack, frame each other, and then the party will fight against each other and fight endlessly. This is the rule set by the government."

"The court has the rules of the court, and the Consultative Yuan has the rules of the Consultative Yuan,"

Su Song calmly said, "We should all act within the rules. As long as everyone is subject to the rules, nothing can be solved?"

Zhang Dun had a sword-browed eyebrows like a sword and said, "Can you abide by the rules?"

Su Song's expression moved, but he didn't say anything.

There are problems with the ‘new and old’, and it is difficult to tell who is right and who is wrong. However, in terms of character, we have to say that the character of the ‘new party’ is better.

Especially Wang Anshi, Zhang Dun, Cai Bian and others, in the fierce struggle during the Yuanfeng period, even if there were any people who fabricated various slanderous words for Wang Anshi, there was no evidence.

On the contrary, the "old party" is trying everything to target the "new party" and there are countless people with despicable character.

Not to mention the past, the outcome of Lu Dafang and others is the best example.

Talk to Zhang Dun is not a debate. Both of them are powerful people, and they will not show off their verbal benefits and make trouble.

Seeing that Su Song didn't speak, Zhang Dun slowly relaxed his eyebrows and said, "The rules of the Consultative Yuan need to be carefully discussed with the six ministries in conjunction with the Political Affairs Hall. The Consultative Yuan will prepare for this year and unveil the plaque next year."

Facing the strong Zhang Dun, Su Song had no intention of fighting and said silently: "I will do my best to restrain the Advisory Yuan. I hope that the Grand Duke can also do my best to restrain the party members. If you always go to the imperial court to sue, it will not be beneficial to the Grand Duke."

Zhang Dun said: "Sit for a while and we will go into the city and meet the official's house."

The two have agreed, and there is an invisible boundary between the Political Affairs Council and the Advisory Council.

Su Song silently said nothing and picked up the cold teacup to drink tea.

Zhang Dun came out to greet him in person and said so much rare. Obviously, he was very alert to the "Advisory Council" and was so vigilant that he came forward in person.

I was so embarrassed before I even entered Kaifeng City. After entering, I was afraid I was under pressure.

Su Song sighed silently in his heart.

He was very uneasy about the "Shaosheng New Deal". This time he entered Beijing, hoping to do something. Now it seems that it is not that easy.

In the pavilion, there were two of them sitting, and their guards stood far away, surrounding the pavilion.

There are people passing by, watching from a distance and dare not get close.

But some people still recognized the two of them and were secretly frightened.

"It's almost done, let's go." Zhang Dun stood up first.

Su Song nodded. He had almost rested for this period of time and could enter the palace to face the saint.
