Empress Dowager Gao looked at the timidity of the ministers below, and her face was dissatisfied, but she couldn't really let Zhao Xu beat Tan Li to death in front of her like Liu Shi'an, otherwise she would have no need to do anything today, what Zhao Xu said is!

"The official family, the Tan Qing family is indeed inappropriate. Let's leave it to the Political Affairs Hall for disposal. Don't lose your demeanor." Empress Dowager Gao had to speak.

Zhao Xu caught a glimpse of Empress Dowager Gao's fate so easily. His eyes flashed, and he looked at Tan Li, saying, "For the sake of grandmother's plea for you, go to the side palace to reflect, write a letter of guilt for me, and read it to me in public."

Tan Li's face suddenly turned pale. If he had read the confession letter in the court, what face would he have to continue to gain a foothold in the court?

The other court officials lowered their heads and did not dare to plead for fear of being taken away by a wave.

Lu Dafang was still indifferent. This time, his silence was not like the wisdom beads he used to hold, but seemed to be brewing something.

Empress Dowager Gao frowned because Zhao Xu used the word "pleading"!

Seeing that Tan Li was not moving, Zhao Xu snorted coldly and said, "Grandma's plea for you is still unmoved. It turns out that there is no king or father, and he is stubborn! The person who came, took him out and was punished for sixty, and sent him to Dali Temple to punish him!"

Tan Li suddenly woke up, knelt down with a thud, and said, "I know my crime!"

Cai You didn't care whether he knew or not, and Zhao Xu didn't say anything, Cai You was going to drag Tan Li down straight.

Naturally, Empress Dowager Gao could not allow it, otherwise she would have become a foil and said majestic: "If you are punished by a stick, please forgive me. The official family is going to discuss matters today, don't be angry about this little thing. Let's start with Lu Qing's family."

Before Empress Dowager Gao finished speaking, someone came out and raised her hand and said in a deep voice: "I will impeach the Yuanfeng Party members Cai Bian, Zeng Bu, Zhang Dun and other 18 people. I will punish you severely for twenty-eight crimes!"

Here comes!

This is the common voice of the court officials. While they were worried, they quietly raised their eyes to Zhao Xu who was standing on the Dan Pai, then turned to Empress Dowager Gao behind the curtain, and then Lu Dafang in the front of the hall. Many people were trembling and wished they could hide.

Zhao Xu glanced at Empress Dowager Gao behind the corner, and laid his hands on Concubine Zhu and Meiren Meng, signaling them to sit down. After the two of them sat down, Zhao Xu slowly sat down and said with a smile: "Yuanfeng Party? It has been seven years since this has happened. Did the Qing family discover it?"

The man carried the scepter and said with a determined look on his face, "Thank you, these people are good at disguising, the Empress Dowager is kind and forgiven, and has given her opportunities many times. I never thought that these people were unrestrained and acted recklessly, and had reached the point where they had to punish them. Please give them a clear look."

"Please give a clear explanation!"

After two consecutive days, there were seven or eight people coming out, which was very eye-catching in the small Zichen Palace!

Su Song looked back and his old face remained motionless.

Erfan held Banhu and did not end immediately...

Liang Tao, Cao Zheng, Shen Qi and others looked at each other. Shen Qi was about to leave the list, but Liang Tao shook his head and stopped him.

Ma Yan, Huang Shan, Han Zongdao and others dared not speak randomly. Yu Guang glanced around and quietly wiped the cold sweat from his head, almost forgetting his nervous breathing.

It was the first time that Concubine Zhu was in court. She opened her eyes wide and looked at it. As she listened, she gradually became uneasy. Even if she didn't understand the court, she could see that these people were bullying the officials!

Meiren Meng quietly held her hand and pursed her lips.

Zhao Xu sat upright, faced the court officials, looked at the various aspects of life in the hall, and said calmly: "Your family tells you what crimes are there."

The first person who spoke immediately raised his scepter and said loudly: "First, form a party for personal gain, blind the holy hearing. Second, block the way of speaking, do things and discuss things. Third, cultivate private individuals and appoint treacherous parties. Third, act in a secret cabinet and ignore the rules of the court. Fourth, rely on the party's evil and disrupt the national affairs. Fifth, be greedy for power and delay resignation. Sixth, disrespect the Empress Dowager... The emperor disobeys the lord's trust, and the lower part harms the people. The evil deeds are serious. His party members should be dismissed, beheaded, and the entire clan is destroyed, and all the entrusted people are removed..."

Zhao Xu kept listening quietly, but his expression became strange involuntarily.

Almost all the new party were exiled to Lingnan. These charges did not sound like the new party, but instead were like the old party in front of them.

Seeing that this righteous and unconsciously finished speaking, Zhao Xu felt embarrassed for him, coughed and said, "Young family, what you said is what the so-called Yuanfeng Party members in your mouth? Do you think there are Yuanfeng Party members in the current palace, or Yuanyou Party members?"

Perhaps Zhao Xu's cough aroused the shame of the person who was still holding the scepter and bowing, making him unable to respond.

After a moment of silence in the hall, another one came out and said: "I will tell Your Majesty that the evil deeds of these people have been basically in the Yuanfeng period, and the disaster has been left to this day. Please punish your Majesty severely and correct the chaos, so as to correct the world's audio-visual and safeguard the anger of the people!"

"I'm going to discuss it."

"I'm going to discuss it."

"I'm going to discuss it."

There were more than a dozen people, and the comments were made one after another, and the voices were extremely loud.

At this time, Fan Chuncui stepped out of the list, held a memorial and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is a joint memorial by more than 200 officials from the court and the kings and nobles, please read it."

Now no one in the government and the country knows this thing, Zhao Xu's expression remained motionless and nodded slightly.

Chenpi immediately stepped forward, took it and handed it to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu glanced at Fan Chuncui again and looked open.

Fan Chunren below frowned. Fan Chuncui was his fourth brother. Lu Dafang pulled Fan Chuncui up and tied him up!

Fan Bailu looked at Tan Li, who was still suppressed by the Imperial City Office. This was his disciple!

Su Song was speechless. The situation was one-sided. Even if the official found an excuse to imprison Lu Dafang and others, how could he appease the hearts of the people in the court and the country? Under the general trend of everyone in the world opposing reforms, even the official cannot force it.

That's a mantis arm that is driving a chariot!

Zhao Xu did not read the content of this memorial, but looked directly at the signatures above.

He saw many familiar names, including his uncle, even princes of his grandfather’s generation, descendants of the founding Duke of the Kingdom, many people with titles of Gongbo, civil officials and military generals of the dynasty, almost all of them above the fifth rank, many officials of the border, and border commanders with heavy troops!

Even if some signatures may not be true, the fact that Lu Dafang dares to add them is enough to illustrate the ideas of these people!

Zhao Xu's expression tried his best to remain unchanged, but his heart was extremely calm.

Even though he had expected it, these conservative forces were still beyond his imagination. These were just prepared by Lu Dafang in a hurry. The real number was probably ten times or a hundred times!

Sure enough, reform is a rare thing after all...

Zhao Xu whispered in his heart, but his eyes were very firm and never wavered!

At this time in the Song Dynasty, there were problems everywhere from top to bottom. It must be changed, and it must be changed greatly!

Zhao Xu took a deep breath, glanced at Lu Dafang and thought quickly.

At this time, he threw out Cai Jing and Yang Wei's memorials, or directly pulled out Su Chi, seemed to be deliberately targeting his subjects, and he was insignificant of being a decent emperor, and he had to find another solution.

Empress Dowager Gao, behind the curtain, saw Zhao Xu silent, looked slightly cold and had a smile on her eyes.

Lu Dafang lowered his eyes, as if he hadn't woken up yet.

Su Song, Fan Bailu and others were thinking in contemplation, as if they were waiting for something.

Liang Tao thought about the previous message from Chen Pi, and was a little anxious. Lu Dafang and others took action too quickly, which made him unable to find a suitable opportunity to leave the list to support the official.

Ma Yan, Huang Shan and others had a dry mouth and were unable to stand. They had not been so nervous for too long, and even during the reign of Emperor Shenzong, there was no such serious confrontation!

There are also some people praying anxiously, praying that Zhao Xu can retreat a little and learn from the Emperor of Shenzong. When it is time to retreat, they must retreat!

Concubine Zhu looked at Zhao Xu, so anxious that she was speechless. She wanted to speak, but she didn't know what to say. She could only look at Mei Meng beside her for help.

Meiren Meng pursed her lips tightly, held her hands hard again, comforting her.

Zhao Xu looked at the joint memorial in his hand and sighed softly: It's more than a thousand pounds.

But immediately, he had sharp eyes and threw the memorial book at his feet, sat upright, and said in a deep voice: "Today, in Zichen Hall, in front of everyone, I do not hide the fact that I have said a few things today. First: I want to reform, and my Song Dynasty faces many problems. These problems are ill in the bone marrow. The only way is to change! I am unwavering! I cannot change, I cannot change, and I will never retreat! Second, I am tired of party struggles! I use people, regardless of my background, as long as I am willing to do things, can do things, and achieve things! Third, this world is my Zhao family, and the people of the world. I want you to take responsibility, abandon your views on the Internet, personal grievances and those shameful calculations in your heart, and work with me, the king and ministers are united in order to eliminate bad policies for my Song Dynasty, revitalize the Song Dynasty, and be brave to move forward for my Song Dynasty for thousands of years, and the welfare of billions of people!"

When the court officials heard Zhao Xu's unshirkable announcement, they were shocked and speechless!

Lu Dafang slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Xu, and his white eyebrows seemed to frown together.

Su Song was shocked. Zhao Xu was so simple and straightforward, did he not retreat in the face of such offensives as Lu Dafang and others? If it was reported, the government and the country would inevitably be shocked unprecedentedly, and a big mess would occur!

Erfan held Banhu and stared at Zhao Xu with his face straight.

Ma Yan, Huang Shan and others were considered neutrals, and they were even more anxious at this moment. They lowered their heads, were nervous and fearful, and their hearts were beating rapidly like drums.

Liang Tao, Cao Zheng, Shen Qi and others were excited and nervous at this moment. The excitement was that Zhao Xu resolutely explained his position, while the uneasiness was that the situation in front of him seemed to be out of control.

Almost everyone's eyes slowly turned to Lu Dafang.

From Sima Guang, Lu Gongzhu to Lu Dafang, they are all firm conservatives who hate reforms and are almost desperate to oppose reforms for the rest of their lives. What will Lu Dafang do at this moment?

Lu Dafang was silent for a long time. He was also frightened by Zhao Xu's obvious carriage. Unexpectedly, when he reached this point, Zhao Xu still refused to give in at all!

Lu Dafang slowly raised the scepter and was about to speak in front of everyone.

"Your Majesty, the current law is determined by the Empress Dowager, and is respected by the whole world. To change the ancestor with the grandson is a great disfiance and disobedience." Lu Dafang's voice was hoarse and calm, but full of lethality.

People in the world respect filial piety and the word "unfilial piety" is enough to erase everything!

As long as this cannot be overcome, the so-called reform will not work. Even if Zhao Xu forced himself to do so, the court officials, even those new parties, cannot ignore it in vain!

Empress Dowager Gao behind the curtain looked at Zhao Xu quietly, holding a crutch in her hand. As long as Zhao Xu didn't explain well, she would come out of the curtain and attack him decisively, forcing Zhao Xu to make a promise in public and give up the idea of ​​reform!

As long as Zhao Xu says it, she can rule the country from behind the curtain and bring Zhao Xu back to his true form!

As for other things, it depends on Zhao Xu's performance in the future.

The courtiers even opened their eyes wide and stared at Zhao Xu for a moment. This alone was enough to stump him!

Chenpi stood aside, his heart raising it to his throat, his face full of nervousness and fear.

He knew very well that if he couldn't answer this, all the efforts of the government would be in vain!

Zhao Xu felt all his eyes, looked up at everyone, looked left and right again, and then pondered.

He must answer this question. Reform is not only a realistic need, but also a great idea. On the surface, it is to be compatible with slogans of law and reason.

Only by being unsatisfied with your mind can you do things. No one follows you with the hat of being unfilial!

After a while, Zhao Xu slowly raised his head, looked at Lu Dafang, and said in a calm tone: "I am inheriting the will of the ancestor emperor. How can I be unfilial to the stepfather with my son and stepfather?"

Su Song's expression was slightly different. This explanation is really good!

Erfan and his face looked shocked, as if this was the first time he had seen that this young official had such agile thinking.
