Su Song is gone.

Huang Lu was puzzled and did not move. He came to Zeng Bu and said, "Mr. Zeng, my dream is broken once, it feels bad, right?"

Zeng Bu stared at Huang Lu with his eyes wide open, and sneered: "Although I don't know what happened outside, you dominate the court and are the way to die, and there will definitely be no good end! It's better to hold back your compliment."

Huang Lu was indeed very excited. Once Su Song left, it meant that the "old party" was destroyed. Their "new party" was once again entrenched in the court and strictly enforced the "new law". Why was he unhappy?

Huang Lu smiled on her face and said, "Mr. Zeng was also the right-hand man of Anshi back then. Why are you hostile to us now implementing the 'new law' again?"

Zeng Bu was so angry that he took Huang Lu and said, "Is the current 'new law' the 'new law' of the prince back then? Then the 'Fang Tianjun Tax Law' will inevitably cause chaos in the world. If the prince is alive, he will definitely not agree!"

Huang Lu said: "I remember Mr. Zeng was released from the court because he opposed the 'new law'. Now he is using Mr. Anshi as a shield, which makes him feel a little shameless?"

Zeng Bu's expression was a little cold and said, "Even though you are proud, the powerful ministers have never had a good end since ancient times. I just hope that Zhang Dun and you will have the end of Lu Dafang, which is a good end!"

Huang Lu listened to his vicious curse, his face was gloomy and said in a cold voice: "Zeng Bu! Don't be ungrateful! You can have a good ending, not because you can have a good ending. Cai Xianggong is kind, because you take the overall situation into consideration. If you want to die, I will fulfill you!"

Zeng Bu snorted coldly, not believing it at all, but waved his hand and said, "Get the pen! I will fulfill you today! Don't worry, I will definitely work hard to live and see your fate alive!"

Huang Luzhen wanted to kill Zeng Bu!

But he knew that the overall situation was the most important thing, so he suppressed his anger and hatred, turned around and left.

Soon, paper and pen were delivered.

Without hesitation, Zeng Bu wrote a 'Apology Memorial' directly.

After he finished writing, he held the pen in his hand, trembling slightly, and his face was filled with unwilling hatred.

It can be said that the "new party" is generally more determined than the "old party", and this is also reflected in power.

For example, Zeng Bu, Cai Que.

This memorial was soon out of the cell and came to Huang Lu's desk.

After reading it, his anger subsided slightly, and he took the memorial out of the Censorate and went to the Green Tile House.

Inside the green tiled house.

Cai Bian looked at Huang Lu, looked up at him with a look of surprise and said, "You mean, when Mr. Su went to see Zeng Bu, Zeng Bu wrote this apology?"

Huang Lu was also puzzled and said, "Yes. The Xiaguan has been there, and there is nothing special about it. The Xiaguan doesn't understand what the reason is."

Cai Bian carefully read Zeng Bu’s apology memorial, and then pondered: “There is no problem with the memorial. Keep staring at Zeng Bu, I will go into the palace to meet the official’s house.”

Huang Lu was a little uneasy and said, "My husband, this matter is strange. What if they have any conspiracy? You have to be more cautious."

Cai Bian browed and said, "He was very familiar with the weird methods of the "Old Party". Even if Su Song was a little brighter, he was the last leader of the "Old Party". At this time, what should he do? He was unable to defend against it!

Cai Bian thought about it and said, "Okay, don't move first, then take a look."

To take Zeng Bu and Su Song to leave, there is nothing small about these things, and Cai Bian must be very cautious.

Huang Lu nodded, thinking in his mind that he would have to go back and have to re-examine Zeng Bu in the first trial, so as not to really dig some pitfalls.

Cai Bian thought to himself, and suddenly said, "What did that demonic Taoist and the scholar named Zhao say?"

Huang Lu said: "This matter is in the Imperial City Department. The Imperial City Department has not moved. It should be because the palace has not spoken yet."

Cai Bian shook his head, snorted again, and said, "I don't know what's up!"

Huang Lu was also surprised by this incident, and was very furious and knew that Cai Bian said "I don't know what to say" refers to the scholar named Zhao and the demon Zhang Huaisu. Since there was no words in the palace, they could not do more for the time being.

At this time, the confidential room.

Zhao Xu's every move of the courtiers was in the eyes of Zhao Xu, including Zeng Buna's "Apology Memorial". Zhao Xu knew very clearly.

Zhao Xu and Zhang Feng were playing chess, and the two made easy moves and talked about the "military reform".

Zhang Qi was straight, and Luo Yizi looked at Zhao Xu and said, "The officials, all walks of life in the north, are advancing in an orderly manner. The problem is not very big, and it will stabilize at the end of the year. In the south, the Privy Council and the Ministry of War are dispatching strategies and general managers to rectify the situation. The intensity and means are the main focus on "stability". After the north is stable, there will be a big move next year..."

Zhao Xu nodded, "Military Reform" was of great importance, and the Song army and the accomplices were millions, and there was no need to be any carelessness.

Holding the chess piece, Zhao Xu said, "Well, you must be fast and stable. Also, the three camps in Bianjing cannot be relaxed. I will send an internal supervisor to supervise it myself."

Zhang Yu hesitated for a while and did not make any more comments on the word "inner supervision" and said, "Yes. The Xia people are ready to move. If they really fight, they can return to Beijing after the New Year. Zong Ze, Zhong Jianzhong, and Chu You's three camps, and 100,000 troops are enough to defend the capital..."

Zhao Xu looked calm and said, "The Qing family thinks that can fight this year?"

Zhang Qing looked a little solemn, and he slowly took back the chess piece he wanted in his hand. He pondered over and over again and said, "The situation of the official family and the Xia people is complicated. The Empress Dowager Liang was arrogant and domineering. Last time he was defeated in Huanzhou. In addition, our dynasty repeatedly killed Xia envoys, and his attitude was tough. The chance of starting a war was more than 70%.

Zhao Xu looked slightly, but did not continue to make progress, and looked thoughtful.

Regarding the defense of the Xia people, the Song Dynasty has been actively preparing for war. It is actually the best to fight. If it is dragged on, it will be detrimental to the implementation of the "military reform" and the "new laws" of the Song Dynasty.

This burden must be removed!

Zhao Xu looked up at Zhang Qing and said, "If the Xia people want to fight, we must win. I need at least two years of peace in the north."

It will take two years for Zhao Xu to implement reforms to the south. Two years will be enough to stabilize all the southern routes, and then fight against Xixia or even against Liao. Zhao Xu is not worried.

I just can't drag it or waste it all the time.

Zhang Feng was not a simple warrior, so he pondered: "I ordered Huanqing and other groups to launch a tentative attack on the Xia people, forcing the Xia people to start a war."

The Song Dynasty now occupied many fortresses, and could learn from the Xia people to invade, plunder, and anger the Xia people, without giving them more time to prepare.

Zhao Xu nodded, reached out and said, "You must be fully prepared. You can only win this battle, and you must win a big victory, so that the Xia people will be honest."

Zhang Feng immediately said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the official family was not prepared for the last time, and there was no right place in the territory. Today, the people and people are all in our Song Dynasty. There is absolutely no possibility of losing this battle!"

Zhao Xu looked up at him and nodded with a smile. Zhao Xu had no doubts about Zhang Feng's ability.

Contemplating the Xia and Liao, then the Chaozhou Bureau, the "New Law" and the "Military Reform", Zhao Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the situation in the Song Dynasty was much better than that in the Xia and Liao.

The emperor and empress in the imperial court in Xixia fought fiercely, and the land was barren, and life was really difficult. With the military force, the national strength would inevitably decline significantly. If it was defeated this time, Xixia would have no chance to rise again.

The situation in Liao Kingdom is even worse than that of Xixia. Liao Kingdom occupied the north and has imposed heavy taxes in recent years, which has aroused the resistance of countless foreign races. In the past two years, it has become even more powerful. The land that the Liao Kingdom fell and the defeated and killed generals have become higher and higher, and have begun to shake the foundation of Liao Kingdom.

The Jurchens are ready to move and will look up in the next one or two years!

Thinking about this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel excited and said to himself: "I'm not waiting..."

If domestic reforms can be completed as soon as possible, national strength and troops can be strengthened, Zhao Xu will definitely use a fierce attack on Xia Liao!

Zhang Feng listened to the four words "Time is not enough" and his eyes flashed slightly, and he said calmly: "The officials, whether it is 'reform' or 'military reform', have been prolonged. If they want to stabilize, it will take at least five years. The government and the country still have to calm down and not fight. We need enough patience and not rush, otherwise it will backfire and fight back on ourselves. The results that those people want will appear..."

Zhang Feng tried to persuade Zhao Xu in a different way, asking him to be patient and not be too impatient.

Zhao Xu looked as usual and said, "What do you think of Zeng Bu and Su Xianggong's resignation?"

Zhang Qi bowed, as if staring at the chessboard, and said, "The official family, the minister, is in charge of the Privy Council, and does not take political affairs."

Zhao Xu smiled, without asking questions, picked up the teacup and said, "Chen Pi, go and tell Mr. Cai that he will go to Mr. Su's house to attend a banquet in the evening. Tomorrow night, please invite Mr. Su to the palace and I will invite him to dinner."

Zhang Feng's expression remained unmoved. He knew that this was seeing Su Song off.

After experiencing so many things, Su Song couldn't hold on and was determined to leave.

"Yes." Chenpi responded.

Zhang Qi kept silent about political affairs and continued to talk about the "military reform".

While playing chess with him, Zhao Xu analyzed some things and made decisions.

...

That night, Cai Bian really went to Su's house to attend a banquet.

There are many different versions of the conversation between the two:

Some people said that the two were arguing in the Su family pavilion, and their faces were red and Madam Su could not persuade her, so she invited Madam Cai and then pulled Cai Bian away.

Some people say that the two had a great time talking, only talking about the romance and not the political affairs, but talking about the past and present. Cai Bian was drunk and was picked up by his family.

Some people also said that the two of them sat silently, without any speculation, and had almost no communication.

Some people even said that the two walked hand in hand in the Su family, and under the moonlight, they talked a lot of things, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

No matter how rumors are outside, everything is in the established plan.

The next morning, Su Song came to the Political Affairs Hall and presided over the morning meeting of the Political Affairs Hall. He approved the Censor's handling of Zeng Bu's "demolishing his official position and resigning him back to his hometown."

At the same time, we made decisions on many things that were controversial and delayed in the Political Affairs Hall.

For example, the appointment and removal of some officials, the transfer of reforms to the Transport Department, some "new policies" for the "military reform", etc., were suddenly unimpeded.

Those present were both surprised by Su Song's treatment of Zeng Bu, and at the same time, they were confused by Su Song's sudden "openness".

Cai Bian has been as still as a mountain, as in the past when Zhang Dun was there, focusing on recording, supplementing and formulating detailed plans.

Half an hour later, Su Song's meeting ended like a script.

Su Song looked up and looked around everyone. He could not see half of the 'old friend' and said lightly: "Let's go away, please stay for Xianggong Cai."

Everyone packed their notes, stood up and saluted.

"Xiaoguan and others surrender." The voices of the crowd were calm, neither big nor small.

Su Song didn't say anything, waited for them to leave, and turned to Cai Bian and said, "You're going to clean it next?"

Cai Bian looked normal and said, "Whether it is the Censorate, the strengthening supervision of the Ministry of Personnel, or the "Beijing Inspection" jointly organized by various departments of the court, they are all cleaning up officials and eliminating corruption, not what Su Xianggong said to be a purge."

Su Song revealed his memories and said, "I don't agree with Sima Junshi and others' creation of so many poetry cases. The facts have proved that this behavior is of no benefit to the court and the country... I hope you learn from your lesson."
