In the main hall of Cining Hall, because of Zhao Xu's words, the quiet needle can be heard.

Zhao Xu pointed out the truth about this incident, that is, someone maliciously framed Empress Meng!

Framing the queen and dividing the relationship between the emperor and the empress is not a misdemeanor.

In the quiet, someone gradually came back to the smell and looked at the three of Wang Jieyu who had just come in!

Concubine Wang lowered her head, felt several faint gazes, her delicate body trembled, her face a little panicked, and she held her breath secretly without moving.

Zhao Xu was still looking at the two pieces of paper in his hand and the records of entering and leaving the halls.

The palace maid on the ground was trembling. She was very smart, otherwise she would not have been assigned to sue. However, after being pointed by Zhao Xu for a few words, she did not answer immediately. It was equivalent to acquiescence when she was silent for so long!

No matter how much you say, it is useless!

The palace maid's face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were filled with fear.

She already understood her fate. She wanted to look back and ask for help, but she didn't dare. As long as she turned around, she would be miserable if she died!

Zhao Xu flipped through the paper and made a subtle sound, which made everyone in the hall tremble.

Su Song looked at Zhao Xu's actions and sighed lightly, but he was a little relaxed. As long as he was not a deposed queen, he would not care about a few concubines and beauties, and it would not be a big deal.

Zhang Dun's eyes were sharp, and he looked at Wang Jieyu and the others, and his expression flashed with disdain.

Cai Bian and Han Zongdao bowed. This matter had nothing to do with them anymore, and they were at most a witness.

Empress Dowager Gao couldn't stand such silence and spoke, "Official family, since Meng was wronged, what are you going to do?"

Zhao Xu raised his head, looked at the palace maid kneeling on the ground, and said, "You may not know everything, but you must know a lot. The big thing about framed the queen should be more than just a matter in the palace. Without the cooperation and support from outside the palace, you can't do it and dare not. Even if you barely do it, you won't get what you want. Therefore, the big figures in the palace and outside the palace must have met recently, and not once or twice."

The palace maid on the ground shrank her head and was covered in cold body.

"Concubine Wang." Zhao Xu suddenly looked at the one among the three women and said loudly.

Wang Jieyu's face changed suddenly, she knelt on the ground with a thud, and said anxiously: "Officials, I am wronged, and these have nothing to do with me..."

Wang Jieyu was sixteen or seventeen years old, with fair skin and beautiful appearance, giving people a sense of being well-educated and gentle as water.

But at this moment, her voice trembled.

Su Song, Zhang Dun and others were all human wise men, so they couldn't tell where they were staring at Concubine Wang, with different expressions.

Even Zhou He, Chenpi and others shook their heads quietly.

Wang Jieyu's words are equivalent to pleading guilty.

Zhao Xu put the things in his hand together, stood up, looked at the two beauties with pale faces behind Wang Jieyu, and said, "How much do you know?"

When Zhao Xu asked, the two beauties could no longer hold on, and their bodies became weak, and they collapsed to the ground, crying: "Official family, we don't know anything. We just know that Concubine Wang and her uncle had met each other quietly, and they really don't know anything else..."

Concubine Wang knelt on the ground, gritted her teeth, and said, "The official family, I am wronged. My uncle entered the palace and was just visiting me, not a conspiracy."

Zhao Xu said with a blank expression: "I sent someone to take the Duke of Qi at this time. Do you think he will tell you the same thing?"

Concubine Wang looked frightened, her lips were bitten and bleeding, and her eyes were filled with grievance and resentment.

Empress Dowager Gao looked ugly, and she sat up slowly on the chair with her hands, pointed at Wang Jieyu with her fingers, and said angrily: "Okay, okay, you are all good, my old lady is really blind..."

First, Lu Dafang and others, then Zhao Hao. Now it was her turn to choose the harem for Zhao Xu. This series of accidents made Empress Dowager Gao look dull and angry.

Zhao Xu ignored the angry Empress Dowager Gao, looked down at Concubine Wang, and then looked at the palace maid, and said lightly: "This palace maid was killed by a stick. Concubine Wang and others rushed into the cold palace and waited for the death. Except for the queen, Meiren Liu, other palace concubines were all surrendered to the third grade. Chenpi, checked it one by one for me, and it was clear that everyone was not allowed to go in and out of each palace before it was clear! Saint, you should do this. You are the queen of the central palace, don't use me to teach you everything!"

Empress Meng breathed a sigh of relief, leaned down dignifiedly, had a solemn face, and said calmly: "I will receive the order."

The palace maid did not complain about justice and was dragged out.

The three of Wang Jieyu and the others had white faces as white as paper and they didn't dare to speak.

A terrifying and shady "witchcraft case" ended in Zhao Xu's words.

After the palace was cleared, Zhao Xu looked at Empress Dowager Gao, walked over, held her arm, and said, "Grandma doesn't need to worry, it's abscess that will happen sooner or later. It's not a good thing to be able to be cut off earlier."

Empress Dowager Gao looked at Zhao Xu with a dazed look in her eyes. Her eyes widened a little, she shook her head again, held Zhao Xu's arm in one hand, turned around with difficulty, and said, "The old lady is old. Don't bother me about all kinds of things in and outside the palace in the future."

Zhou He hurried forward, supported Empress Dowager Gao, and walked towards the bedroom.

When Empress Dowager Gao left, Zhang Dun pondered and stepped forward, saying, "Officials, this matter needs to be kept secret."

Zhao Xu watched Empress Dowager Gao leave, turned his head to look at Zhang Dun, then glanced at Su Song, Cai Bian, and Han Zongdao. He thought about it in his heart, raised his feet to walk towards the palace gate, and said, "Four masters come with me."

Su Song, Zhang Dun and others raised their hands and followed Zhao Xu to leave Cining Hall.

After leaving Cining Hall, Zhao Xu walked slowly and said, "Grandpa Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Dun had sharp eyebrows and a plain tone, and said, "Just just now, Shangshu Cai of the Ministry of Justice said that behind the fire in Kaifeng Prefecture, there was a shadow of the Duke of Qi's Mansion, but they did it very cleanly and did not catch any evidence."

Zhao Xu was stunned, then turned to look at Su Song and said, "I know a little about the Xining period. Have you encountered this situation when Wang Xianggong reformed his law?"

Su Song bowed slightly, seemed to recall, and said, "No."

Zhang Dun looked at him coldly. Maybe there was no fire to the Kaifeng Mansion at the beginning, but the "new law" was not implemented at all, from top to bottom, from inside to outside. Not to mention Wang Anshi, even the Emperor of Shenzong was carrying tremendous pressure from the two palaces!

If Wang Anshi had dared to implement this thoroughly, the government and the people would face Emperor Shenzong and Wang Anshi, but they would be afraid that they would do it even if the palace was burned!

Zhao Xu stopped regardless of whether it was true or not, looking at the bright sky, his eyes flashed with a hint of harshness, and said, "The King of Yan died of illness, and his grandmother will no longer be involved in the government affairs. The harem will be cleaned up. I have no problem here."

Zhao Xu's words are concise and meaningful!

Zhang Dun stood up straight, raised his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I will sort out clearly before the court break is over. Kaifeng Prefecture's pilot project must be implemented on time! On the side of the nobles, I will have a good talk with Duke Qi and others in person!"

Zhang Dun's words were as strong as swords and were filled with boiling murderous intent.

But what he said was ‘talk’.

Zhao Xu held his hands behind his back, without any movement, and suddenly said, "Grandpa Su, Glory Han?"

Su Song was the prime minister and the leader of the court; Han Zongdao was the chief minister and the political affairs of Kaifeng Prefecture. The two of them were extremely important in the "Kaifeng Prefecture Pilot Project".

Su Song had already relieved himself without a complete resumption of the new law. He could not continue to ask for more. Listening to Zhao Xu's words, Su Song pondered for a little, saying: "I will temporarily borrow the Prime Minister's Seal until the end of the court."

Zhao Xu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Grandpa Han."

When Han Zongdao saw that Su Song had handed over the seal of the prime minister, he silently said: "It is the duty of me to eliminate bad policies and benefit the people. I will follow the will of the officials and the court orders to implement the new laws in Kaifeng Prefecture."

Zhao Xu smiled and felt relieved, saying, "The Zhengshi Hall will set up a 'New Law Group' in Kaifeng Prefecture, which is composed of people from the six ministries and three temples. This group is governed by Kaifeng Prefecture and the Zhengshi Hall. Don't resist anything, and will be withdrawn in the future."

Han Zongdao suddenly felt a little itchy on his scalp, so he held back and said, "Yes, I understand."

Su Song was leaning on a crutch and looked silent.

The resurgence of the "New Law" is already the general trend, and no one can stop it. However, today, this person has gone further than his father, with more powerful and ruthless methods! This just caused such a big rebound at the beginning. If it continues, can the Song Dynasty really hold on?

As a person who has been in the officialdom for decades, especially in the center of the court for nearly twenty years, perhaps no one here knows the real situation of the Song Dynasty better than Su Song.

It seems rich, but in fact it is strong on the outside but dry on the inside, wind comes everywhere and rain leaks from all sides.

Zhao Xu turned around, looked at Zhang Dun and said, "I have increased your guard team to one hundred, and I will bring you all the way in and out."

Zhang Dun knew what Zhao Xu meant, and said, "Thank you Your Majesty!"

Zhao Xu put his hands behind his back, moved his shoulders and said, "I haven't had Cuju for a long time. I'll go to Cuju later, and I'll leave it to several husbands outside."

Zhang Dun raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "I plan to go to the Duke of Qi's mansion for lunch."

Zhao Xu immediately smiled and said, "Eat well, eat enough."

Zhang Dun was straight and motionless, with bright eyes.

Cai Bian looked around and didn't understand. The king and his ministers had been planning to attack the nobles for a long time. Zhang Dun endured it for so long, but I'm afraid it was not as simple as "eating full".

Zhao Xu didn't say much, and held Su Song and Han Zongdao down. Zhang Dun would naturally handle other matters.
