Anyone who understands this can see that Zhao Xu and Zhang Dun, the monarch and ministers, were singing a double act. The shock of the court and the public can be imagined. There was no such big change in the Yuanfeng restructuring of the Shenzong Dynasty back then!

The three provinces and the three departments were directly abolished, and the ancestral system was trampled under the feet and tore it to pieces!

Empress Dowager Gao in the palace cursed in the Cining Hall and wanted to find Zhao Xu. How could Zhao Xu go in this situation?

Officials at all levels outside the palace may have launched fierce attacks on Su Song, Zhang Dun, and Cai Bian in order to maintain the ancestral system or for themselves, which is unprecedented!

In just half a day, the Political Affairs Hall received more than ninety letters, all of which were impeachment memorials for Su Song, Zhang Dun and Cai Bian!

Some old-fashioned princes, county dukes, and old ministers during the Emperor of Emperor Ying could no longer sit still, so they entered the palace one after another, asking to see Empress Dowager Gao and Zhao Xu.

Naturally, Empress Dowager Gao and Zhao Xu would not let them see each other. They forced themselves to see them three times, and their intuition was dizzy and they hid and disappeared.

He really couldn't hide anymore. At the end of June, Zhao Xu quietly left the palace and went to the military camp of Zongze outside the city.

In less than a month, Zong Ze had less scholarly spirit and more decisive and capable military personnel.

Zong Ze accompanied Zhao Xu and inspected the military camp, constantly introducing: "Your Majesty, Xu Shangshu and his ministers have recruited 3,000 people, have a clean family background, are strong and healthy, and can go to the battlefield after training for half a year..."

Zhao Xu looked up and saw a group of soldiers not far away shouting loudly, cutting hard at the wooden stakes.

Zhao Xu observed it carefully for a while and said, "Yes. The training needs to be strengthened. I have seen your training methods before. I have added some of my ideas. For Tong Guan, you will study them carefully later."

Zong Ze has always been a straightforward and neat person. Hearing this, he glanced at Tong Guan, who was tall and strong, and did not care. He responded and said: "Your Majesty, there are not many soldiers we can choose around Kaifeng City. We have no right to arrange the imperial guards, so we have to find ways from other ways..."

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "I'm going to find a way. The military equipment, food, and salary will be arranged by Shangshu. The Ministry of War has taken over all the war logistics affairs. I don't need to say this. What I want to tell you is that your actions must be accelerated, and time will be gone. In addition to yours, there is also a cavalry of at least 10,000 people and a firearm army of at least 5,000 people. There is no shortage of money and food, and there is no obstacle. It depends on your ability."

Zong Ze was solemn and immediately said, "I will follow the will."

Zhao Xu waved the folding fan in his hand, looked at the increasingly hot weather, silently estimated the time, and said, "You are relatively hidden here. I have not told the Third Yamen and the Privy Council. I will continue to be low-key in the future. I will ask the Palace Front Office to cover you..."

Zong Ze didn't ask anything else, followed Zhao Xu and said, "Yes."

The camp is not big. Zhao Xu walked around, talked to Zong Ze, and explained various things.

In the evening, Zhao Xu stayed in the camp and had dinner with Zong Ze and a group of soldiers.

Zhao Xu had been walking around for a day and was approachable. One of them held a bowl and asked Zhao Xu with courage: "Your Majesty, is it said that the city is in trouble?"

Zong Ze glanced at him, and the soldier immediately shrank his head.

When Zhao Xu saw this, he shook his chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat, and said with a smile: "There is nothing we can't ask. I want to make some reforms. The court officials disagree. I will hide from it."

The soldier nodded repeatedly, not daring to say more.

Zhao Xu's eyes flashed with surprise. Although Zong Ze was in his early thirties, he was all white before. Has he been so prestige in this short period of time?

Zhao Xu thought for a while, turned to Tong Guan, who was standing there and said, "You can stay in the military camp for the time being, take a good look on my behalf, and see more things. If you have any trouble, don't interfere randomly, as the fox is pretending to be a tiger."

Tong Guan was startled, and hurriedly covered up and lowered his head, and said calmly: "The villain follows the order."

Zong Ze was stunned, and the group of soldiers were also shocked. What does His Majesty the Emperor mean?

Zhao Xu didn't care what these people thought, and smiled and said, "The food here is good, I will come here often."

Zong Ze dared not think too much. With the Dahuang Gate in the palace, it can indeed withstand a lot of trouble.

Zhao Xu stayed in the military camp for three days, eating and living with the soldiers, with the same work and rest, except for no training, basically the same.

Tong Guan quickly integrated into it, chatting with Zong Ze for a long time from time to time, and even participating in military training.

Zhao Xu watched from the side without saying a word.

On the fourth day, Zhao Xu finally couldn't continue to stay - something happened in Kaifeng City.

After Zhao Xu rushed back to the city, he came to Zhang Dun's mansion.

I saw that there was already a ruin, with at least twenty rooms burning around.

The servants of Zhang's mansion were cleaning up, and the yamen runners of Kaifeng's mansion were also helping, asking around for something.

Zhao Xu brought a large group of troops back to Beijing, without any concealment, and stood in front of the Zhang Mansion.

Han Zongdao, the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, rushed over, saluted with a solemn expression, and said, "See the official family."

Zhao Xu gently patted his face with the folding fan in his hand, expressionless, and his eyes were full of coldness, and he said, "Did you find out who it is?"

Han Zongdao glanced at the guard standing sternly behind Zhao Xu, and said with a calm face, "Go back to the official house, it happened last night. The fire broke out from the next door of Zhang's mansion. The family and Zhang's family did not see the perpetrator. The inspection department and the Ministry of Justice are still investigating."

Zhao Xu glanced at him and said, "I heard that you have a lot of complaints about the reform."

Han Zongdao was the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, known as the "Cut-Captain" and his status was equivalent to that of an ordinary deputy. At this time, he did not have much confidence to fight with Zhao Xu. He hesitated and said: "I am not opposing it, but I just feel that the court is a little too anxious and needs to give the officials some time."

Is it giving you time to gather strength to object?

Zhao Xu didn't care about Han Zongdao's attitude and said, "Is there anyone suspicious?"

Han Zongdao bent down, looked at Zhao Xu quietly, and said, "Not found yet. There are too many lazy people coming to the capital, and even if one of them is checked, it will take time."

Han Zongdao cannot say that there is, once there is, there will be too many.

Zhang Dun was one of the "Three Treacherouss" that Yuan Youchu was officially recognized by the government. The dynasty also attracted countless criticism and criticism, and he was the "first treacherous" of the dynasty. Not to mention impeaching him, there were at least seven out of the ten who wanted to kill him on the road!

The folding fan in Zhao Xu's hand turned, and his heart was also turning.

This fire was definitely not an accident. It rained just now not long ago. What kind of fire can burn so strongly? More than ten rooms, and it happened that Zhang Mansion was burned the most miserably.

"Are there any casualties?" Zhao Xu asked casually.

Han Zongdao became more careful and said, "Three people and six people from the Zhang Mansion are all servants, and more than a dozen people were burned, including those who put out fire."

Zhao Xu's eyes became more and more cold. Just as he was about to speak, Chen Pi whispered in his ear: "Official family, Mr. Zhang is here."

Zhao Xu turned his head and glanced at him. Not far away, Zhang Dun was stopped by the imperial guards.

Zhao Xu waved his hand and signaled Zhang Dun to come over.

When Han Zongdao saw Zhang Dun coming, his expression became more and more concentrated, and his heart was uneasy.

Zhang Dun came over and raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty."

Zhang Dun's sword eyebrows were raised, his eyes were sharp, and his already serious and rigid face added a little sharper.

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Do you have any clues?"

Zhang Dun put down his hand, his tone was very calm, and said, "I just saw a few backs. They should be homeless people in the capital. It's useless to catch them. I can't find out the person behind the scenes."

Zhao Xu was not surprised and dared to burn the mansion of the current minister. It was impossible without such a little method. He paused and said, "What are you going to do?"

Zhang Dun took out a memorial, raised it to Zhao Xu, and said, "I plan to transfer the 72 officials in the capital to the place. Please allow your Majesty to allow it."

Zhao Xu Yuguang glanced at him, blocked him with a folding fan, and said, "Don't adjust it out, 'Call him for another', just leave the position, and stay in the capital and not leave."

Zhang Dun's sword eyebrows moved, his eyes flashed sharply, and there was a hint of pleasure in his tone, and he said, "Abide by the order."

Zhao Xu stared at the ruined yard of Zhang Mansion, his eyes slowly narrowed, and he opened the folding fan with a snap, and a sneer appeared on his face, saying, "Since it's so lively, it's even more lively. Chenpi, release the commanders in the palace, don't monitor them, let them go."

Chenpi's eyes were slightly shocked, and she immediately said quietly: "Yes."

Zhang Dun immediately responded and said, "Your Majesty, please as the deputy envoy of Privy Councilor, mobilize the eight routes around Kaifeng Prefecture, the observation envoy, the delegation envoy, etc. to enter the capital. Please allow your Majesty to allow it."

Zhao Xu glanced at Zhang Dun again and said, "No. Give them a bonus and give them a favor and give them a wife and son."

Zhang Dun didn't care about Han Zongdao's presence, his expression became more and more severe, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't wait any longer, they can't make trouble."

Zhao Xu smiled faintly and said, "They are useful. Han Qing's family."

Seeing this, Zhang Dun took a deep breath, his eyes turned red, suppressing his anger.

His mansion was burned, angering him. Exile of those dozens was just the beginning. He was planning a larger cleaning plan for the government and the country!

After listening to Zhao Xu's words, Han Zongdao hurried forward and said, "Please give me instructions."

Zhao Xu looked around the streets and said, "There are too many lazy people, homeless people in Kaifeng City. Now, I have promoted the Kaifeng Prefecture Inspection Department to the fourth rank, and the national inspection department has dual jurisdiction with the local government. Starting immediately, starting from Kaifeng City, we will crack down on all illegal people and forces in the city, and we will continue to carry out nationwide!"

Han Zongdao's expression changed and hesitated for a moment, saying, "The government, not to mention the whole country, even Kaifeng Prefecture, is afraid that the prison cells are not enough, and they have to care about their food, drink, defecation and urination. This is more beneficial than disadvantages, and it is not appropriate..."

Zhao Xu looked at him and said, "Which one does not require anyone to repair bridges, roads and rivers? I ordered the Ministry of War to arrange personnel from the wing army. I don't like to listen to nonsense and empty talk. Every five days, you go to the Political Affairs Hall to report on the progress. I did not approve Ma Yan's external transfer and allowed him to retire and return home. If you want to return home, tell me now."

Han Zongdao did not want to resign and hurriedly said, "I obey the order!"

Zhao Xu turned to Zhang Dun and said, "Don't build this yard, let's get surrounded. I will take the court officials to see it if I have nothing to do. Shangshu Xu is in the capital, and you will know when you see him later. Yes, I know that you have raised money, don't rush to be the salary of all officials, just suppress it first."

Zhang Dun was not sure what Zhao Xu was going to do, so he responded: "Yes. I will invite Mr. Xu to the Qingtiao House later."

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, took a secret breath, and the corners of his face were straightened.
Chapter completed!
