Is this necessary to think about it?

Jiang Jing replied in his heart, then was shocked and said, "Mr., the official..."

He didn't say anything. He was shocked by Zhao Xu's skillfulness, and at the same time he was afraid of the purpose behind these wrists - he would never give up on Lu Dawei!

Jiang Jing stopped talking and looked at Su Song with some anxiety.

If the officials insist on severely punishing Lu Dafang, what should the Su Xianggui do?

Su Song obviously thought of it earlier than Jiang Jing, so his face was always gloomy and his face was as cold as a stone.

Su Song can see clearly, and there are also many people in the government and the country.

The official family took action, so the atmosphere outside the palace became even more tense, and rumors spread everywhere, all over the place.

Zhao Xu is already at the last stop, the Ministry of Works.

The Ministry of Works is also in a mess, but fortunately, Yang Wei, who Zhao Xu ordered, has arrived.

Zhao Xu talked to some people at the Ministry of Works, including adding authority and funding, etc., and the Ministry of Works, which was left with one assistant minister and two ministers, was naturally very happy and expressed loyalty in a reserved and implicit manner.

As the evening approached, Zhao Xu left the Ministry of Works, stood in front of the palace gate, and looked at the street not far away.

In addition to the numerous imperial city officials and the palace guards, there are also many people watching from afar.

Under the leadership of Yang Wei, a group of people from the Ministry of Works followed Zhao Xu, each of them excited and nervous.

Zhao Xu looked around and said to Yang Wei and others: "The Ministry of Works currently has two important tasks. One is to develop practical strategies for the governance of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. Don't be in the yamen, but do not keep your head in the yamen. You must conduct a down-to-earth investigation and consult experienced and capable people. The plan should be long-term to treat the symptoms and root causes, especially the Yellow River. As the flood season approaches, you must not slack off. The second is to sort out the official roads and bridges across the country, make a good summary of the situation, and try to present it to me as soon as possible."

Yang Wei looked solemn and said, "I obey the order!"

The others nodded one after another, their breath was a little rapid and they wanted to answer the conversation.

Zhao Xu thought for a moment and said, "You should take responsibility for the affairs of Yang Qing's family and the Ministry of Works first. When the imperial edict is drawn up by the Political Affairs Hall, it will be officially promulgated."

The emperor wants to appoint officials, but he doesn't just say a word. He has to go through a set of procedures in the three provinces, which is the legal principle.

Now all three provinces are in the Political Affairs Hall, so the procedures need to be followed by the Political Affairs Hall.

Yang Wei bowed and said, "I obey the order."

He was not nervous at all. If his appointment had not been approved in the past, but now, who dares to disobey the official family?

Zhao Xu felt that it was almost done, so he walked forward and stepped down the steps.

Yang Wei hurriedly followed, while other officials from the Ministry of Works stood restrainedly on the steps and raised their hands to show them respectfully.

At this time, Tong Guan hurried over and whispered in Zhao Xu's ear: "The government and the government affairs hall suddenly had many memorials to defend Lu Dafang and others, all of which were saying that Lu Dafang's achievements should be pardoned as appropriate."

Zhao Xu looked towards the palace and said casually: "No wonder."

His trip today was actually an ultimatum, which was clearly telling everyone that he wanted to severely punish Lu Dafang. Some people couldn't sit still and were completely expected.

However, Zhao Xu immediately narrowed his eyes, flashing coldness, and said to himself: "As an official, you will be prosperous and wealthy all your life. No matter how serious the crime is, it will be demoted. You will still be rich and carefree. If you want to change this rule...it starts with Lu Dafang!"

Tong Guan lowered his head and did not dare to say much.

However, Yang Wei suddenly looked moved, looked at Zhao Xu's cold side face and bowed quietly.

"That's all today, let's go back to Yang Qing's house."

Zhao Xu strode away from the Ministry of Works and prepares to return to the palace.

"Greatly send him off to your Majesty." Yang Wei quickly raised his hand.

"Greatly send your Majesty to you." The Ministry of Works and others shouted, with a loud voice, as if afraid that Zhao Xu would not hear it.

When Zhao Xu left surrounded by a group of people, Yang Wei stood up, his eyes flashed faintly, and suddenly he said in a deep voice with the group of people behind him: "You have heard your Majesty's words, do things overnight! I will go to the Ministry of Justice and come back soon."

A group of people from the Ministry of Works raised their hand to answer the order and said, "The officials are responsible for taking the order."

There are too many vacant positions in the court now, and the officials have come to the Ministry of Works in person, so they naturally have to perform well!

In the evening, Zhao Xu wrote in his study and said to Chen Pi: "All things for tomorrow have been arranged?"

Chenpi carefully put down the soup and said, "Yes. According to the Empress Dowager's words, everything should be simple. Tomorrow, just go to the temple to do a ritual. The Queen Mother will not enter the tomb of the ancestors, and place it in the temple."

Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows. It was already "leniency" that Empress Dowager Gao did not take away all the honors of Empress Dowager Xiang. It was not surprising that she would not enter the Shenzong Mausoleum.

Zhao Xu picked up the soup bowl, looked outside, and said, "You will notify the Political Affairs Hall tomorrow and draw an order: to order Cai Bian as the chief judge, the Three Judicial Departments to judgment, and then let the thirteenth brother supervise me on my behalf, and the day after tomorrow, publicly try Lu Dafang and other cases."

Even though Chen Pi and Zhao Xu had experienced a lot of storms, their shoulders were still trembling now.

The trial of the prime minister will begin!

This kind of thing never happened in the Song Dynasty!

When the news spread, I don’t know how much news outside, but I’m afraid it will stir up Kaifeng City!

Chenpi dared not speak too much and quickly responded.

Zhao Xu waved his spoon at him and said, "Go, just leave two people, I'll go to bed after watching for a while."

Tangerine bowed and quietly stepped back.

...

The next morning, Zhao Xu was dressed neatly and surrounded by a group of people, he left the palace to go to the "Miaojing Temple" outside the city.

Even if the Empress Dowager's funeral is simple, the courtiers must attend.

The funeral of Empress Dowager Xiang was really simple because of Empress Dowager Gao’s decree that “everything is simple” and that he was a “monk”.

As a "son", Zhao Xu just cooperated with the acting and walked through the process.

After noon, Zhao Xu and others stayed in the temple for another hour before they went down the mountain and returned to the city.

Before Zhao Xu and others returned to the palace, Chen Pi came over, put aside everyone, and whispered in Zhao Xu's ear: "The official family, the Imperial City Department said that Su Shi returned to Beijing yesterday. Some people related to the Su family walked around the capital very frequently today, and there were... Wang Shu."

Zhao Xu listened, tilted his head slightly and stared at Chenpi.

Chenpi bowed and didn't dare to say more.

Wang Shi was the son-in-law of the son-in-law. He was involved in Su Shi's "Wutai Poetry Case" back then, breaking the rule that the son-in-law of the Song Dynasty did not participate in the government affairs.

Wang Shi wrote a letter to defend Lu Dafang and others before. Su Shi has returned to Beijing now. What is his attitude?

However, Zhao Xu had already vaguely guessed it from the fact that Chenpi lowered her head.

The reason why Wang Shi was exiled back then was not only involved in Su Shi's "Wutai Poetry Case", but also involved in party struggles as the son-in-law of the princess, and also bullied the eldest princess and angered Emperor Shenzong.

Zhao Xu turned his mind and turned his head to look towards the Su Mansion. After a moment, he said, "Issue: Wang Shi is wrong, he is often illegal, and he is involved in the government affairs repeatedly, and he does not repent! He is 50 years old and detained in the Zongren Mansion. He is waiting for the despair. Chenpi, you go in person."

Chenpi didn't dare to think about anything else, and immediately said, "The villain follows the order."

After Chen Pi said that, she hurriedly took the Imperial City Department away.
