As September begins, the temperature in Bianjing City begins to drop continuously.

In the morning, frost was already happening.

Zhao Xu also changed into a autumn dress, and the hat on his head changed from a silk matte to a brand new cotton matte.

On this day, when Zhao Xu had just returned from the Jiying Hall Sutra, he found that Guo Zhongxiao was waiting for him in front of the Funing Hall.

Seeing Zhao Xu coming back, he immediately went forward and bowed his head to pay his respects.

"Guo Sheren, is there something wrong?" Zhao Xu asked.

Guo Zhongxiao leaned down and said, "I know your Majesty. I saw that the officer received the urgent handing over to Jianchang Army..."

Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes.

Jianchang Army?

I heard Guo Zhongxiao say: "The mother of the Left Prime Minister Deng Xianggong, who was in power in the current dynasty, passed away on the day of the Jiachen period of August (August 25th)....”

Zhao Xu was stunned when he listened.

Then he sighed: "My mother of Mr. Deng unfortunately passed away, I am very sad!"

"We should send envoys to mourn according to the story, and order the ministry to prepare to mourn the glory!"

But in my heart, Zhao Xu knew it.

As Deng Runfu was mourned by his mother, he had to return to his hometown to observe the system.

The political structure in the court will change greatly as a result.

"We can only recall Zhang Yu in advance to balance the government's affairs!"

Although Deng Runfu was a new party in the court, his position was generally new in the middle.

Therefore, he and many old party ministers can reach compromises and make concessions.

At the same time, he could also run around the radicals of the new party such as Pu Zongmeng and try to persuade these people to work together.

Now, with Deng Runfu returning to his hometown to observe the system, there is no such person in the court who reconciles the old and the new parties and can speak on both the old and the new.

The intensity of the struggle between the old and new parties is inevitable to reach a higher level.

Fortunately, Zhao Xu is not worried about this now.

Because, soon, all new and old parties will face a brand new competitor.

A new official group represented by handicrafts and industrial and commercial interest groups.

Let’s call him Xinxin Party for the time being.

Now, this new party has actually taken shape and has some foundation in the court.

With two or three years of development and growth, you can compete with the old and new parties.

So, in Zhao Xu's opinion, it doesn't matter how fierce the new party is in the current battle between the old party.

Because they will soon be together.

Since that's the case, let them fight!

...

Soon, Empress Dowager Xiang from Baoci Palace also learned about Deng Runfu's loss of his mother.

After learning about this, Empress Dowager Xiang was quite sad. Not only did she issue an edict like Zhao Xu, she sent an envoy to mourn, and ordered the Ministry to prepare to mourn.

At the same time, an edict was issued to posthumously confer Deng's mother as the wife of the great power.

This is the reward. Deng Runfu made contributions to her before and after the death of the late emperor.

After learning about the loss of his mother, Deng Runfu first cried and fainted. When he woke up, he immediately submitted a letter and asked to return to his hometown to observe the system.

Naturally, his request was immediately approved.

September of the second year of Yuanyou (the second day of the lunar calendar).

The Left Chief of the Shangshu and the Minister of the Secretariat Deng Runfu lost his mother and was appointed as the scholar of Guanwen Palace. He was appointed as the envoy of the Zhongtai Palace and sentenced to the Jianchang Army.

On the second day, Deng Runfu took his family and wore mourning clothes and surrounded by Yuan accompanying them. His resignation left Beijing and returned to his hometown to attend the mourning system.

Zhao Xu and the two palaces sent envoys to express their condolences and sent their confidants to send them out of the capital.

The two governments ruled and six ministers, together with the ministers of the six ministries, left the city together and sent Deng Runfu back to his hometown.

Using this kind of non-speaking action, we declare that Deng Runfu was a meritorious person who made contributions to the country, and his merits would not be forgotten in the palace!

The day after Deng Runfu resigned from the capital, Zhao Xu began a series of personnel arrangements.

First, September 19th (the fourth day of the lunar month).

Fan Chunren, a Hanlin scholar, was a bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, and was the only one who was the leader of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Minister of War Lv Dafang was appointed as the Hanlin Bachelor and replaced Fan Chunren's position.

The next day, Jiayin (the fifth day of the first lunar month).

He was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Governor of the Shilongtu Pavilion and the Hedong Road Transportation Commander Fan Ziqi.

The former Minister of the Inspector Song Pengnian was convicted and demoted to Lizhou in August.

The crime is a dangerous thing. As the name suggests, it means being sinister and mean, embarrassing and useful, and is a typical hat crime.

But Zhao Xu didn't care about this and took down Song Pengnian with the excuse.

Who told this guy to be in the court that not only did not take the initiative to move closer to Zhao Xu's route, but instead yelled around with his big mouth many times.

The worst thing is that he has no value in use.

He neither has the ability to tolerate Zhao Xu, nor does he have the family background that he has asked Zhao Xu to look up at him.

He was able to serve as the crucial position of Si Nongqing because of Sima Guang's recommendation.

If it weren't for this, Zhao Xu would have long since wanted to tolerate him.

Now, Sima Guang has passed away for more than a year.

Zhao Xu naturally had no scruples, but he didn't know what was going on, and he was still yelling with his mouth.

It would be fine if you yell around, but you would also sing a contradictory tune with Zhao Xu!

Especially in July, Shen Kuo and his men conducted two iron balls at Kaibao Temple to land at the same time.

But he was yelling around and launched many Qingliu characters to slander and make fun of Shen Kuo's experiment.

He said that he was sensational, and the so-called [studying things and seeking knowledge] is even more of the evil way of [strange skills and tricks]! It is [to do things in the name of a saint and do things in the Zhengmao]. He also called on [two and three sons to attack him as a drum] [to eliminate this evil saying for the famous teachings].

So much so that Shen Kuo's experiment did not achieve the sensational effect as imagined, and was submerged in the attacks of [Contemporary Shaozhengmao] and [Famous Heretics].

Can Zhao Xu tolerate him?

I can't bear it.

So, as soon as Kun Chengjie passed, he sent someone to instruct the inspector Zhao Qi to impeach him and sweep him out of the court.

Zhao Wei is the young censor excavated by Zhao Xu.

This man's family background is innocent - his father Zhao Yan, who was a famous honest official in the Song Dynasty.

He is also very energetic.

Just four months into the court, he defeated seven or eight people, including Song Pengnian, who were left alone or blocking Zhao Xu's path.

Therefore, Zhao Xu is optimistic about him.

As for Fan Ziqi who was promoted, it is the opposite of Song Pengnian.

Fan Ziqi is the grandson of Fan Yong, and Fan Yong is the old woman who was so powerful in Xixia in Shaanxi, and the young woman is Fan Zhongyan.

These two famous officials of the Song Dynasty surnamed Fan are the pioneers of the Song and Xia countries that are now engaged in a forging competition on the border.

At the same time, Fan Ziqi and Zhang Dun have a good relationship.

When Zhang Dun opened Jinghu, the first person to launch the southern development initiative was Fan Ziqi, who was the deputy envoy of Jinghu South Road Transportation at that time.

After that, Zhang Dun went south and many of the early work was also spread out by Fan Ziqi.

Of course, the most important reason why Fan Ziqi was promoted is that he was very successful.

Not only did he have good political achievements, but he also implemented the court's policies as well as one of the most thoroughly implemented among the officials of the prefecture and county.

Especially in the three years since Zhao Xu ascended the throne, he has performed particularly outstandingly.

He is a model of Yuanyou's new policy!

If such capable ministers and officials cannot be promoted, wouldn’t that hurt the loyal ministers and filial sons in the world?

Therefore, Zhao Xu promoted him to the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue without hesitation, intending to train him as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue after Zhang Heng.

At the same time, several other models of Yuanyou's new policy, Zhao Xu, also began to promote their official positions, dispatch, and postal treatment.

First, on the day of Yimao in September (the sixth day of the first lunar month), the official Kumamoto was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Transportation of Jingdong Road (the sixth rank), and the official of Zhongsan (the fifth rank), and the official of Longtu Pavilion (the fifth rank), and the official of Longtu Pavilion was appointed as the direct scholar of Longtu Pavilion, and the scholar of Longtu Pavilion. His dispatch was also an additional part-time job - to be appointed as the ambassador of the Jingdong Navy.

On the same day, the imperial edict was issued again, and the court asked the court to ask the chief of Dengzhou Su Shi to follow the court to ask the chief of the court to ask the chief of the court (the seventh rank), and was moved to the court's official (the sixth rank).
