Chapter 231 Cannibalism

Zhang Dun is telling the truth. Even though they began the "reform" during the Xining period, this reform, whether in the Shenzong Dynasty or Yuanyou after the end of the Shenzong Dynasty, was actually a failure.

In the face of strong rebound pressure, Emperor Shenzong was hesitant and repeatedly gave in. After Wang Anshi stopped the prime minister twice, Emperor Shenzong turned to reform. However, both reform and reform seemed flashy and futile.

Then when Emperor Shenzong passed away, the opposition made a comeback and abolished the "new law" as a complete failure.

Among them, although there is a strong rebound from the "old party", the various problems that occurred in the reform of the "new party" and the constant internal strife are also important reasons for the failure.

What Zhang Dun said now is actually a reflection.

The official in the palace didn't talk to Zhang Dun much, and often the two were based on a tacit understanding.

Many of Zhang Dun's plans, including the "comprehensive resumption of new laws", were stranded under Zhao Xu's quiet pressure.

When Zhao Xu wanted to use Kaifeng Prefecture as a pilot, Zhang Dun completely understood.

Therefore, the focus of the work of the Green Wa House quickly shifted from "comprehensively reintroducing the new law" to "Kaifeng Prefecture Pilot".

Zhang Dun was unwilling to accept it. After all, with the experience and lessons learned from Xining for many years, he believed that there was no problem in the full recovery. Similarly, the "New Party" was not willing to accept it. They were suppressed for seven years and accumulated countless anger and resentment.

This is also the fundamental reason why Cai Que died and there was a sharp rebound within the "New Party".

Facing Zhang Dun’s truth, Zhang Kewei and others looked at each other, and some of them couldn’t answer.

As they expected, Zhang Dun should break out and debate with them in a tit-for-tat way. As long as Zhang Dun had a violent temper, they would be able to catch the handle and make a big fuss in the Political Affairs Hall.

With the current situation, if Zhang Dun is a little wrong, the court will not be able to tolerate him!

However, Zhang Dun did not have unprecedented peace and explained it with great sincerity.

Zhang Kewei and others wanted to ask more questions, and when they looked up, they saw Su Song, Cai Bian and the Shangshu staring at them with a not very friendly look.

Zhang Kewei felt a little sad. When this time he continued to force him, it seemed that they deliberately targeted Zhang Dun and maliciously attacked his current minister, with ulterior motives.

Seeing that Zhang Dun had suppressed these people, Su Song felt relieved, straightened his body, and was about to take up the prime minister's airs and ended the matter. Just as he was about to speak, a yellow door turned around, carried a roll of paper, and walked in slowly.

Officials from the Song Dynasty looked down on eunuchs very much. Even though they would not be too much on the surface, they all frowned and looked cold when they saw a yellow gate that came from where they didn't know where they suddenly appeared in a sacred place like the Political Affairs Hall.

Including Su Song, Zhang Dun, and Cai Bian.

Xiaohuangmen looked at so many big people, his face trembled, he stepped forward with a stiff smile, "Dear Masters, the official family found a good Fang Mo outside the palace, and wrote a few words to ask the villain to give it to Mr. Zhang."

Su Song glanced at Zhang Dun and said nothing.

It would be an ordinary gift for the official to send a piece of calligraphy at this time.

The court officials in the lobby looked dark. They could confront Zhang Dun here, but they didn't have the courage to confront that official.

This official family is very different from the previous Emperor Rende. The bloodstains outside the Zichen Hall and Chuigong Hall seem to have not yet been dried!

Xiaohuangmen opened the paper, glanced at it, then took a deep breath, and shouted: "If there is, change it; if there is no, encourage it."

Everyone was shocked when they saw this sentence.

Is this sentence for Zhang Dun or for everyone here?

Zhang Dun had already stood up and raised his hand and said, "Thank you Your Majesty."

After saluting Zhang Dun, he hurriedly left.

These big men have too strong auras, so he dare not stay too long.

Zhang Dun picked it up and carefully reviewed it.

Zhao Xu's name is simply a master of the masters compared to these great talents and even great scholars who came from Jinshi.

But this is written by Zhao Xu, no matter how bad it is, it is still a treasure!

Zhang Dun looked at it silently for a while, put the handbook on the table, sat back to his original position, slowly straightened his waist, raised his eyebrows, and the stern expression of a familiar teacher appeared on the corner of his face, and said in a deep voice: "The official's meaning is very clear, there is no need to say more. Let's talk about the past year, including Cai Que's memorial and his affairs after his death..."

Seeing that Zhang Dun had returned to normal, Su Song's face twitched.

Zhang Dun took the position of "the facts of the prime minister", which clearly wanted to cut off all the bad things since the officials and family ruled, and he devoted himself to promoting the reform.

Cai Bian let out a secret breath. Without the official handwritten letter, the Political Affairs Hall still doesn't know when it will be a mess. Even if it can end, it will be a "confused" ending, and there will definitely be many troubles in the future.

With the end of Zhao Xu Mobao, the tense atmosphere in the Political Affairs Hall eased. Now, Zhang Kewei is still standing, with a black hat in front of him, which is extremely eye-catching.

The person who jumped out before had the words "embarrassing" written on his face.

Zhang Dun took out a note from his sleeve, without raising his head, and said, "Everyone sits down and starts discussing matters. Let's talk about other things later."

This can be regarded as giving Zhang Kewei and others a step.

Zhang Kewei hesitated and sat down slowly.

I am not afraid of being angry with Vajra, but I am afraid of Bodhisattvas squinting their eyes.

Now Zhang Dun is a squinting Bodhisattva. The atmosphere in the Political Affairs Hall is very subtle. Many people dare not breathe and stare at Zhang Dun carefully. They are afraid that the tiger will suddenly rise up and eat people!

At this moment, Zhao Xu is walking towards the Ministry of Revenue.

Although Kaifeng City has a population of one million, like the imperial city, Kaifeng City is not big, giving people a very compact and small feeling.

Zhao Xu felt the "flavor of fireworks in the world", and his pace couldn't help but slow down, and his mind was still turning to the affairs of the Political Affairs Hall.

In fact, he was not worried at all in the Political Affairs Hall.

If Zhang Dun was so easy to deal with, he would have been beaten down during the Xining period.

Zhao Xu was thinking about the "new law". On the issue of "new law", many clear traces gradually appeared in the court and the country.

Most of the "Old Party" had a clear stand and firmly opposed it; Su Song, Han Zongdao and others had ambiguous attitudes and tended to abide by it; within the "New Party", the traces of factions became more and more obvious. Zhang Dun had the cooperation of Cai Bian to gather many reformists left by Wang Anshi, but Wang Anshi was not dismissed and passed away for eight years, and the "New Party" had long been in the mountains.

Compared with the prime minister Cai Que during the Yuanfeng period, his grandfather Zeng Bu and others, Zhang Dun had to go backwards. If Zhao Xusheng had not been forced to dominate, Zhang Dun would not be qualified to lead the "New Party".

Now, it is already a consensus among the common people of the Political Affairs Hall that the "new law" cannot be fully restored. The "new party" wants to fully restore, but the "old party" does not want to restore. The complex network of relationships is entangled, and the final pressure will still fall on Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu habitually played with the folding fan in his hand, opened it and closed it, and the boards were straight and made a sound of banging.

"It cannot be fully restored..."

Before he knew it, Zhao Xu spoke out like a whisper.

Chenpi had no reaction. He always kept a distance from politics. Even if Zhao Xu asked him, he would pretend to be stupid and wander around.

"Official family, why don't they fully recover?" At this time, Hu Zhongwei suddenly bit a candied haw and asked in a vague way.

Zhao Xu looked back at him, smiled, turned around and said, "There is a problem with the 'new law', and the summary is not enough. The large demolition and construction are not suitable for the current Song Dynasty. Besides, the 'military reform' has not been completed yet, so how can we rush to lay such a big stall?"

Hu Zhongwei just asked casually. He was very familiar with Zhao Xu. It was normal to ask occasionally, but he would not ask one question one after another.

Just as Zhao Xu was about to speak again, he saw a young man thrown out in a teahouse not far away.

It was really thrown out and fell on the street.

"Bah, do you think you were the former Mr. Meng? You don't even urinate and take a look!"

"You Meng family, I'll tell you when it's over!"

"Give your sister the queen, I'll see how long this queen can last!"

"Stay away from us in the future and don't implicate us!"

"The spring exam is coming soon. Don't ruin our mood. Get away, you are not worthy of coming here!"

The young man who was thrown out had a blue face and was angry, but he didn't say much. He patted his clothes and was about to leave when he suddenly glanced at Zhao Xu. He was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned around and seemed to have not seen it, leaving quickly.

Zhao Xu huddled and looked up at the teahouse. He saw that the plaque read "Jidi Teahouse".
