Zhang Dun lowered his head slightly and said nothing.

Zhao Xu put the memorial aside and suddenly said, "Grandpa, is it okay for the 14th sister to be in the Zhang Mansion?"

Zhang Dun bowed and said, "The princess is virtuous and wise, and the whole mansion is very respectful."

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Chen Pi, you sent your grandpa out of the palace to take good care of him. If something happened, you are the only one who asked!"

"Yes." Chenpi responded.

"I'm leaving." Zhang Dun stood up slowly.

Zhao Xu watched Zhang Dun leave, and his eyes looked at Zhao Tingzhi's memorial again, and called a yellow door, and whispered: "Go, tell Chen Pi, and pass on what I said to my grandfather back then and pass it on to Zhao Tingzhi."

"Yes." Huangmen responded and walked out quickly.

Zhao Xu looked out the door, after a long time, he let out a gentle breath, stood up, and said to himself, "This weather is getting more and more stuffy."

Tangerine's movements were still very fast, and some sounds were circulating in the palace and then they reached the Zhengshi Hall.

When Zhao Tingzhi heard the news, his expression changed again and again, and finally he was silent.

At this moment, Li Qingchen stood outside the political affairs hall and looked at the palace gate.

Zhang Dun had just left for a while and did not come to the Political Affairs Hall, nor did he go to the Green Tile House.

He frowned and looked cold.

He already had a bad premonition in his heart.

It is rumored that he was Zhang Dun's successor and his future grandfather, but he was not happy at all when he saw Zhang Dun half retired.

evening.

An inconspicuous restaurant outside the palace.

Zhao Xu lay on the bed, Li Qing lay on his chest and said coquettishly: "Are you just the first word of the seat? After so many years, will you just write me one?"

Zhao Xu's right hand was on her back and said with a smile: "You must have good words, is your father not good? Do you think your father is not good, your father's fellow disciple, Qin Guan wrote very well. If not, your master, Mr. Dongpo, I'll ask you a few poems."

Li Qing frowned and snorted, saying, "Then I will let my father know about our relationship!"

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Do you want to enter the palace?"

Li Qing's pretty face hesitated, and lay on Zhao Xu's chest and said nothing.

Zhao Xu didn't care, Li Qing didn't want to enter the palace, he wanted to be more free, so he let her go.

At this moment, the East Palace of the Zhang family.

Zhang Dun and the Zhang family sat under the eaves, looking at the coolness and beauty, drinking and chatting.

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy passed by not far away. Zhang Feng suddenly opened his eyes wide and said, "Who is that? Why haven't I seen it before?"

Zhang Dun glanced at it and said, "Zhang Yuan's grandson."

Zhang Yuan, Zhang Dun's fourth son.

Zhang Feng nodded slightly and said, "Zhang Yuan's grandson is so old."

Zhang Dun looked motionless, lying on the chair, quietly watching the moonlight.

Everyone outside said that he was almost out of reach, but in fact he only knew that he was good, his mind was clear, and he was not confused.

Zhang Feng glanced at him and said, "The news came from the palace, and it should have been deliberately passed to Zhao Tingzhi."

Zhang Dun remained motionless and said, "I know."

Zhang Feng also looked at the moon and said, "These words were indeed what the officials said in person. After these years, no one remembers them. The officials released the wind at this time to give you and me a good end."

They are all people in their seventies, and no matter how well they are in good health, they will not be able to live long. It is inevitable that they will leave the court.

Everyone can see it, but some people are anxious and hope to send them a ride.

Zhao Ting again impeached Zhang Dun because he saw this and believed that Zhang Dun was a dying sick tiger, and it was not afraid of it. At the same time, many problems in the reform have been accumulated recently, and someone needs to bear it.

The most suitable one is Zhang Dun, the magistrate.

This also fits the idea of ​​too many people in the court and the country. Once Zhang Dun is defeated by Zhao Tingzhishen, he will be the next magistrate naturally.

Zhang Dun reached out and picked up a glass of wine, took a sip, and said, "If you and I have a good end, our Zhang family will not have a good end."

The Zhang family frowned at first, and then they understood.

Wang Anshi has been dead for so many years and has countless criticisms. Zhang Dun is in power and offended too many people. Once Zhang Dun and Zhang Du died, the helpless Zhang family will be torn to pieces.

"What do you want to do?" Zhang Feng said. At his age, he has seen through life and death and doesn't care about himself, but he has to take care of his family.

"I have already made arrangements." Zhang Dun said lightly.

Zhang Feng looked at his side face and did not ask again.

at the same time.

Tang Pi hurriedly knocked on Zhao Xu's door with a memorial.

Zhao Xu and Li Qing were already asleep. When they heard the knock on the door, Li Qing muttered and turned over.

Zhao Xu put on his clothes and opened the door.

Chen Pi quickly whispered: "The official family, something happened. Someone went to the Censorate and sued the grand grandson for corruption and 300,000 guan in the river repair."

Zhao Xu did not follow the report and said strangely: "This kind of thing is not common, what's special?"

Chenpi tightened her face and whispered more and more: "The evidence is conclusive."

Zhao Xu's face changed slightly. After taking the impeachment memorial, he found that it was impeached by a member of the Ministry of Works. He listed the time, location, personnel, and even the account book when Zhang Dun embezzled the money for river repair!

Zhao Xu's expression became ugly and he said coldly: "Is it Zhao Tingzhi created it again?"

Chen Pi said: "The villain doesn't know, so he has asked the Imperial City Department to investigate."

Zhao Xu was filled with anger, and he snorted coldly, put together the memoir and said loudly: "Go back to the palace."

Chenpi responded, but didn't look inside the house, and followed Zhao Xu away.

Li Qing in the room heard it clearly. He wanted to sleep again, but suddenly woke up, hurriedly put on his clothes, and then left the restaurant and returned to Li's mansion.

Zhao Xu sat in the carriage, shaking, and suddenly picked up the memorial again.

After a long time, he suddenly breathed a long sigh from the bottom of his heart and said softly: "So that's how it is."

The driving tangerine peel didn't hear it clearly and looked back.

After a while, he heard Zhao Xu's somewhat lonely voice and said, "Don't check it."

Tangerine peel was unclear, so she responded: "Yes."

When Zhao Xu arrived in the palace, he knew that Cai Bian, Wang Cun, Zhao Tingzhi, Lin Xi, Li Qingchen and others were already waiting.

When Zhao Xu came in, everyone raised their hands to greet him with a worried look on their faces.

Zhao Xu waved his hand and sat down on the chair with a expressionless face.

Zhao Tingzhi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this matter is definitely not done by me. Please give me a clear explanation!"

He thought it was true that Zhang Dun left, and he did not hide it, but he did not do such a frame-up. He just released the news that the monarch and ministers did not doubt it. If Zhao Tingzhi did this, he would be seeking death.

Cai Bian ignored him, raised his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Officials, I will never agree with this matter. The grand grandfather has always been good at character and will never be corrupt in the repair of rivers."

Li Qingchen even said directly: "Officials, I am willing to protect my life for more than 100 people in my palace. The grand grandfather will definitely be framed!"

Lin Xi's indifferent face was full of solemn expressions, and he said, "I am willing to protect you."

Wang Cun didn't say anything.

In his opinion, no matter whether the matter is true or not, Zhang Dun must leave.

Guye

Then, who is the position of the great husband next? Wang Cun was evaluating whether he had this opportunity.

Zhao Xu ignored these things and was confused all the time, thinking about it all the way.

This "evidence of crime" is listed so clearly, but there is actually only one explanation - Zhang Dun is self-deprecating.

‘Do you want to retire in this way?’

Zhao Xu sighed softly in his heart.

Zhang Dun was a prime minister for many years, and was stubborn and stubborn. He was the leader of the "New Party". Many people wished to cut him into pieces.

He asked for it like this, but he had no choice but to do it.

Those people did not allow him to leave intact. The consequence of forcibly leaving was a crazy counterattack.

He is in power and can still suppress him in Beijing. Once he leaves the capital, everything will be separated from him and everything will be passed by others.

Zhang Dun may not be afraid of life and death, but behind him is a family, a group of allies, partners who have followed them for many years, and the "New Party" that has followed their reforms.

"Official family,"

Seeing Zhao Xu pondering silently, Wang Cun raised his hand and said, "This matter is actually..."

"Bring Brother Quan here,"
