Chapter 141 What are the officials to do(1/2)
Cai Bian looked a little stunned when he heard Chen Pi's words.
Even if there is no inventory, what does it matter if some are allocated to control the water?
Cai Bian was confused, and then watched Zhao Xu's hand pressing on the "Che Gaiting Poetry Case", and suddenly felt moved and slowly bowed down.
Zhao Xu glanced at him and said to himself: He is a tactful person.
Zhao Xu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and his thoughts moved.
He had gradually discovered that Zhang Dun had outstanding abilities, but he was also a straightforward temper, and even had the cheerful personality of a knight in the world who would revenge if he had revenge. His resentment towards the "old party" was inaction by the "old party", and his constant persecution of him by the "old party" in the past seven years, and his resentment and anger were uneasy.
‘How can I let Zhang Dun vent, and not ruin my current rhythm…’
Zhao Xu pondered in his heart, and after a while, he looked at Cai Bian and said, "I will take a look at this recommendation from Mr. Zhang first. My attitude is the same. Don't demolish and build it, and don't start the "Xining Law" immediately. We must comprehensively, in-depth and meticulously review the gains and losses. The current corruption cases must not be expanded. The case must be closed as soon as possible. This is what I promised to Mr. Su."
Cai Bian could hear it clearly and knew in his heart that the officials were saying these words to Zhang Dun.
"I obey the order." Cai Bian stood up and raised his hand and said.
Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Look for Su Xianggong and let the generals of the three provinces be appointed by Yang Wei and Xu."
Cai Bian hesitated at this moment and said, "I am afraid that Xianggong Su will not be able to do so."
Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows, sat up slowly, picked up the teacup, looked towards the Zhengshi Hall, and a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.
Do these people still think that they are in the Xining era now?
“I can’t wait any more…”
Before drinking tea, Zhao Xu said to himself.
Cai Bian looked up at Zhao Xu with a slightly calming expression. He always knew that the official in front of him seemed to be planning something for the Political Affairs Hall. Is it time to see the truth?
What does the official do?
Chen Pi stood beside Zhao Xu, with a calm expression on his face, feeling a little annoyed. The people from Sansheng dealt with Emperor Shenzong in the Xining period, and now they dealt with the government like this - it's really hateful!
Zhao Xu put down the teacup, looked at Cai Bian with a smile, and said, "Cai Qing's family, go to the six ministries for more trips if you have nothing to do."
Cai Bian couldn't guess what Zhao Xu was going to do, so he had to respond: "I obey the order."
Zhao Xu nodded and continued to review his memorial.
Cai Bian bowed with a knowing manner and said he left.
Zhao Xu was flipping through the memorials and was also learning about the real situation inside and outside the Song Dynasty through these memorials.
Cai Bian left the Chugong Hall, secretly raised his chest and breathed deeply.
For some reason, this young official always puts him inexplicable pressure, and even the Emperor of Shenzong did not have this pressure!
...
On this day, Zhang Dun did not come back and was patrolling the water situation outside the city.
Su Song was in charge of the Political Affairs Hall, suppressing the noise a little.
The palace is still lively, and all kinds of people jump out to impeach this and recommend that you impeach me and criticize me, and you criticize me and defend me. Too many people are happy and can't extricate themselves.
The city of Kaifeng was still lively. Zhang Dun was patrolling the rivers around Kaifeng City and did not return to the city until the third day.
In the court, he was excited at this moment, and a series of memorials about "reviewing the gains and losses of the three" gathered into the Political Affairs Hall. Chen Qi, a clerk of the Secretariat, led a group of people to classify them. He was so big that he gave them to Su Song.
Su Song only took a part of it, and the others were assigned to Zhang Dun and Cai Bian.
Cai Bian sat in the green tiled room, looking at the thick stack of memoirs beside him, thinking while reading, and not forgetting to write a brief description, which was to be presented to Zhao Xu.
Zhang Dun came back from outside, took off his straw raincoat, and came in while slapping his clothes.
Cai Bian looked up at him and said, "You have some tea first and take a rest. It's so heavy rain, I thought you won't come back."
Zhang Dun wiped the rain on his body and said, "The matter is more serious than we expected. What do you say from the official family?"
When Cai Bian asked when he saw Zhang Dun come back, he hesitated and waved his hands to several clerks not far away.
The clerks responded silently and quickly retreated.
Zhang Dun looked motionless, sat down on his chair and said, "The official family objected?"
When people understand that they don’t need to beat around the bush, Cai Bian nodded and said, “The official has left your recommendation book. I mentioned the 'Che Gaitting Poetry Case', but the official does not agree or refuse. Regarding borrowing money from the inner treasury, the official does not agree or refuse.”
Zhang Dun didn't know if it was because of fatigue or thinking, and there was no expression on his face. He wiped his hands and said, "The official family may still want to wait a little longer. We have not stood firm, nor have the official family."
Seeing him saying this 'taboo', Cai Bian said, "I think the government has other ideas. Let's not talk about these things for now. The government may have to take action against the three sectors. Look at these memorials and find some time to submit the imperial prelude to the prelude, and things have been delayed too much."
After Zhang Dun wiped his hands, his eyebrows were half upright, and his face was sharp, and he said, "I want to take Fan Chunren's surgery."
Cai Bian's eyes changed slightly and he was startled.
Fan Chunren is one of the "Three Sages" who are in the eyes of the "Old Party" and is the son of Fan Zhongyan, a Ming prime minister, and is known as the "Guyi Xianggong". The Fan family's disciples and former officials are all over the world.
It's not that easy to move him!
After Zhang Dun finished speaking, he picked up the memorial in front of him and then picked up the pen to write a brief description.
Cai Bian thought carefully for a while and said calmly: "For this matter, the official must nod."
Zhang Dun wrote a few words and said casually: "The official is waiting for me to take action, just grasp the measure."
Cai Bian's face suddenly moved.
The two of them have had a tacit understanding of each other and know each other well.
...
evening.
Zhao Xu and Zhao Si sat under the eaves of the study and played chess.
Zhao seems to be trained and has average chess skills, but it is very well-organized.
He sat straight, with a solemn expression on his face, and he took every step seriously, thinking about it for a long time.
Zhao Xu looked at this brother who was the same father and mother, and his face kept smiling.
Tong Guan came in from outside the Funing Hall gate, hurriedly packed under the eaves, came over to salute, and then said, "The official family, Xu Shangshu passed the message and said that Zong Rulin was very capable and had already made some clues. Please ask the official family to allocate money to respond to the emergency."
Zhao Xu looked at the rain getting heavier and he said, "Where is Xu Shangshu now?"
Tong Guan said: "It should be outside the city."
Zhao Xu nodded slightly. General Xu and Zong Ze should have been busy, but they are still not legitimate enough.
He held a chess piece in his hand and looked at the heavy rain, his eyes flashing.
"Official family, it's your turn." Zhao Si looked up and saw Zhao Xu in a daze, then said softly.
Zhao Xu came back to his senses, looked at the chessboard, and made a comeback, saying, "Tong Guan, allocate 500,000 from the inner treasury to the Ministry of War, immediately. In two days, you will take my oral orders to the Political Affairs Hall, scold the leaders of the three provinces, and order them to draft the edicts of General Xu and Yang Wei as soon as possible, and hold them accountable if there is any delay."
Tong Guan bowed and said, "Yes."
Zhao Si stared at the chessboard, grabbed the chess piece with his left hand, and his little face was meditating.
Zhao Xu smiled and said, "I will give you another message to Mr. Zhang and Mr. Xu. When they are free, they will take time every three or five days to enter the school building to attend classes."
Xu General and Zhang Dun were both from Jinshi, so they were more than enough to teach Zhao Si and others.
Tong Guan glanced at Zhao Si who seemed to be unconscious and said, "Yes."
The next day, it was still raining heavily, and Zhao Xu sat in the Chuigong Hall and continued to handle his government affairs.
Perhaps because of the heavy rain, Kaifeng City has calmed down a lot, and even the memorials that have written books have been reduced by nearly half.
After noon, a middle-aged fat man hurried in, raised his hand and saluted, saying, "My minister Wu Juhou, please see Your Majesty."
Since Wu Juhou came in, Zhao Xu kept watching, his expression unconsciously strange.
Wu Juhou is obese and not tall, has small ears, big nose, and small eyes, which generally gives people a feeling of "crawl".
This Wu Juhou is not like an official, but more like a businessman with a "treacherous" look written on it!
Zhao Xu looked at it for a while and said with a smile: "Wu Qing's family is exempt from gifts. Come and move a stool and pour a cup of hot tea."
Wu Juhou was shocked and hurriedly said, "I don't dare, I just stand."
Zhao Xu looked at him and found it more and more interesting.
Soon, the yellow door brought a stool. Wu Juhou looked at Zhao Xu carefully and didn't dare to sit. When the hot tea came, he took it into his hands, and his hands suddenly trembled and almost knocked over.
Zhao Xu looked at Wu Juhou's face, unable to see his eyes, and could not guess whether this person was really so "respectful" or deliberately pretending.
Zhao Xu thought about the comment Zhang Dun gave him, "The big qualities are not lost, the small qualities are trustworthy, the capable cannot, and the fear is not afraid." His smile remained unchanged and said, "Wu Qing's family, I came to you to ask about the various transportation departments."
Wu Juhou held the teacup and quickly answered: "Return to Your Majesty, the Transportation Department has the responsibility to alleviate the difficulties of the court. Nanjing and Xijing have surplus grain and money, so they can be transferred immediately."
Seeing that he reacted so quickly, Zhao Xu said, "Are you sure there is?"
Wu Juhou looked up at Zhao Xu, then lowered quickly, and said, "The other ministers don't know, I will definitely have them."
Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows. The water from the Transportation Department seemed to be very deep.
Zhao Xu took the teacup beside him and gently fiddled with the tea. He thought more. After a long time, he looked at Wu Ju and said: "There are too many tricks in the transportation department in various places. In recent years, there have been many corruption cases, the court has suffered a lot of losses, and there are many complaints from the local government. How do you think it is better to solve it?"
Wu Juhou held the teacup, blinked his little eyes, bowed suddenly, sprinkled a lot of tea, and hurriedly covered it, ping-pong, and said anxiously: "Please give me advice from your Majesty."
