Zhao Xu knew his purpose, held the teacup and said, "Just say I am tired, tell him that the Consultative Yuan should have rules. Such harsh criticism and sensationalism are unwilling tolerate those who ask for fame directly."

The atmosphere of the Advisory Council is changing, and some people are arbitrarily attacking court officials without restraint, and have crossed the bottom line.

"Yes." Huangmen responded and walked out quickly.

"Father."

Zhao Xu had just taken a sip of tea and was about to get up. He saw a young boy of five or six years old standing outside the threshold and saluting respectfully.

There was also a three-year-old fat guy standing beside him. The little guy didn't have so many rules. He ran in and shouted loudly: "Father, I'm hungry..."

This is Zhao Xu's second son, born by Meiren Liu, and named him Zhao Tan.

Although Zhao Xu was a little tired, he still smiled and picked him up, walked forward, led Zhao Quan over and said, "Let's go, what do you want to eat?"

Zhao Quan didn't say anything, Zhao Tan shouted, "Eat meat, eat big meat..."

"Okay, let's eat meat." Zhao Xu said with a smile.

When they arrived at the side hall, the father and son sat down. Zhao Xu looked at Brother Quan sitting on the ground and said with a smile: "Brother Quan, what have you learned in the Imperial Academy?"

Zhao Quan blinked and said in a calm tone: "Wang Jijiu asked me to recite Su Laoquan's Six Kingdoms Theory today."

Wang Jijiu, Shen Kuo died of illness two years ago, and Wang Zhiyi took over as the Imperial College Master and Tai Academy.

Su Laoquan refers to Su Shi's father Su Xun. Su Xun, whose name is Laoquan.

Zhao Xu knew about this article, glanced at the second son who was running around the room and shouting constantly, looked at the eldest son, and smiled and said, "How much did you carry?"

Brother Quan said: "There are only a few lines, do you want to recite them to your father?"

“I won’t take the school today,”

Zhao Xu took a sip of tea tiredly, leaned on the chair, looked at the eldest son, and said, "Have you been to see your Ninth Uncle a few days ago?"

Zhao Quan sat with his small body straight, looking at Zhao Xu quietly, and said, "I have seen it, and I have also seen Uncle Eleven, Uncle Thirteen, Uncle Fourteen, and Sister-in-law."

Zhao Xu nodded and said with a smile: "Don't be so reserved, just drink tea when you are thirsty."

Zhao Quan blinked, then picked up the teacup and drank tea.

‘Exactly the same as her mother…’

Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Brother Quan's temperament is exactly the same as Queen Meng, quiet, every question and answer, without any rules.

After having dinner with his two sons, Zhao Xu returned to the bedroom and rested for a while before going to the Chuigong Hall.

Zhang Dun was already waiting.

Zhang Dun was covered in white hair, and there were stereotyped wrinkles on his serious face. His words and deeds became more and more powerful.

"Official family." Zhang Dun bowed with his back.

Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "Sit down and say."

Zhang Dun responded and sat down on the chair. After Zhao Xu sat down, he said: "Your Majesty, the governor of Jiangnan West Road, Zong Ze came to report that the 'Shaosheng New Policy' has been basically completed, the distribution of land acres has been completed, and various tax reforms have been completed. This year's tax is expected to increase by 30% compared with last year, surpassing the sixth year of Yuanfeng..."

Zhao Xu smiled without interrupting.

Seeing that Zhao Xu didn't say anything, Zhang Dun said, "The merger of various channels has been completed. At present, I have a total of 11 channels in the Song Dynasty, plus the sixteen prefectures of Youyun, etc., and there are thirteen channels. Although there are obstacles, the progress is stable and the impact is controllable. Now, you only need to follow the steps and advance step by step..."

When the reform enters the deep waters, there will be no more debates in the past, but it will be natural.

After Zhang Dun's words came to an end, Zhao Xu said: "Well, I have read the report from the Political Affairs Hall and various places. Although there are many problems, the overall situation is still improving. The 'Military Reform' has been basically completed, and those rebellions have been basically put down. In another five years, we will all breathe a sigh of relief."

Reform is a long and ending thing.

Gu Di

In another five years, I will just breathe a sigh of relief and don’t just have to work so hard now.

Zhang Dun suddenly stopped talking.

Zhao Xu looked at him and said, "Grand Husband?"

Zhang Dun stood up tremblingly, raised his hand, and said, "The official family is nearly 70 years old and stupid, and he is no longer able to bear the responsibility..."

Zhao Xu looked at Zhang Dun's white hair and felt sorry for him, but he waved his hand and smiled and said, "I know, I know. I still said the same thing. Your family doesn't have to do everything yourself. The Zhengshi Hall is Cai Qing's family. When you are tired, you will rest in the mansion. Occasionally, you will go to the Zhengshi Hall to sit and come to the Chuigong Hall to see me, and let me see you. If your family is not here, I will feel unsure and feel empty."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dun moved his wrinkled face and raised his hand and said, "My teacher, please receive the order."

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Your family is here."

Zhang Dun sat back slowly.

Zhao Xu picked up the teacup and looked at Zhang Dun, feeling a little uncomfortable between his eyebrows.

In the past few years, the acquaintances in front of him have left one by one.

Zhang Feng and Zhang Dun are too old.

With complicated thoughts, Zhao Xu didn't drink tea, put down the teacup and said, "I heard that there is something uneasy in the Liao Kingdom?"

Zhang Dun hunched over and said, "Yes. The Liao Emperor was a little ruthless in his military service, and he quelled the rebellion on the one hand. Although he had some achievements, there were constant civil strife. It was really unwise to provoke my Song Dynasty here."

The old Liao emperor passed away the previous year, and his grandson Yelu Yanxi succeeded to the throne. The new Liao emperor was quite happy with his merits.

Zhao Xu pondered and said, "I, what do you think about the Qing family if I want to fight against the Liao Kingdom?"

Logically speaking, the Song Dynasty should not go to war with the outside world now. It is a critical moment of reform and cannot distract energy.

Zhang Dun was silent for a while and said, "It's okay to fight one battle, but you have to control the scale and not to fight too much. For too long, just limit the Liao Kingdom on the border and disperse the Liao Kingdom's troops."

Zhao Xu and Zhang Dun had a very tacit understanding. After Zhao Xu said it, Zhang Dun understood.

Zhao Xu's meaning is actually very simple, which is to delay the Liao Kingdom and further increase the depletion of the Liao Kingdom's troops.

"Who is the right person in the Qing family?" Zhao Xu asked.

"It's appropriate to fold."

Zhang Dun said without hesitation: "Zhe Keshi, brave and resourceful, and most importantly, he is steady, knows the general and has a sense of proficiency."

Zhao Xu thought about Zhe Keshi and said, "Good. Zhe Keshi is the chief marching chief, and Zhong Jianzhong is the deputy. He crossed the border and launched a surprise attack on the Liao Kingdom."

Zhang Dun said: "Yes, I will go to the Privy Council to talk to Xu Xianggong later."

Zhang Yu's situation is more serious than Zhang Dun.

Two years ago, Zhang Feng was sick and scared everyone. Although he survived, he kept asking for retirement.

Zhao Xu repeatedly tried to keep him, asking General Xu to serve as the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor, and asked Zhang Feng to rest, so that he could be left behind.

Zhang Dun and Zhang Yu are now in a semi-retired state.

At this time, Chen Pi came in from outside, glanced at Zhang Dun, and whispered: "Official family, Zhao Xianggong's memorial."

Wen Yanbo died of illness four years ago. Before his death, he recommended Zhao Tingzhi to serve as the governor of the government.

Zhao Tingzhi is the father of Zhao Mingcheng. In history, he was Li Qingzhao's father-in-law.

Zhao Tingzhi also had a personal friendship with Cai Que.

This person is also a person who is good at everything and wanders back and forth between the "new and old" parties.

Zhao Xu reached out and took it. This was an impeachment memorial. In the memorial, Zhao Tingzhi criticized Zhang Dun and Zhang Shi, bluntly saying, "Indulge in power, deceive the king and the emperor, slander the country, and turmoil."
