Su Shi's "Shu Party" is essentially an "old party" who opposes reform, but it is a bit special.

The "Old Party" is mainly divided into three factions. The Shu Party is one of them and has a relatively large influence. In addition to Su Shi, Lu Tao and others, there is also Su Zhe.

Su Shi's younger brother, this man was appointed as the Three Secretaries, one of the three ministers, and you can imagine the influence of the Shu Party.

But Su Shi, the spiritual leader of the Shu Party, did not tolerate the "old party", and of course, he would not tolerate the "new party". Therefore, over the years, he has been demoted again and again, and even demoted to the unprecedented Hainan Island, and even Su Che could not protect him!

This also gradually evolved Su Shi into a kind of "centric school", and political views also tended to "centric".

All the people here are those who are very thoughtful. They thought a lot for a while, and their eyes mostly circulate on Wang Cun and Su Shi.

Su Shi's face was as deep as water. How could he have thought that when he came to hand in his words, he was actually involved.

He was struggling in his heart at this moment. He didn't want to get involved in the right and wrong of the court again, but his mouth couldn't be opened. In the eyes of the crowd, he didn't know how long it took, but gradually agreed to this matter.

Zhang Dun was not surprised to see Su Shi not talking. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Pei Yin coming in quickly from outside.

He came behind Zhang Dun, handed over two letters, and whispered: "Grandpa, Li Xia and the envoys of the Liao Kingdom have arrived."

Zhang Dun opened the letter in his hand, one was written by Li Qianshun and the other was written by the Minister of War of the Liao Kingdom, and it was all for him.

Zhang Dun's eyebrows were raised and he opened them to look.

Li Qianshun's letter was an informal, seemingly apologized, and it was carefully studied and seemed to be nonsense. The general meaning was that he did not receive permission from Zhao Xu to privately mobilize troops to help Liao. It was wrong for him. I asked Zhao Xu to forgive him, hoping to return Xiping Prefecture, that is, Lingzhou. There was a threat between the lines, "Border safety, long-term plan, please consider it."

Zhang Dun threw it aside and looked at Xiao Tiancheng.

He had met Xiao Tiancheng several times and knew that this person was a rational talent, and his expression was a little more serious.

In Xiao Tiancheng's letter, he expressed his approval of the "mutual trade" and expressed his opinion that he would do his best to promote it. He hoped that the Song State could "know the right measure and know how to advance and retreat" in the Liao State's quelling chaos, and "not make temporary plans."

Zhang Dun snorted coldly, threw them all aside, and said in a cold tone: "I have received it from the official family?"

Pei Yin bowed and said, "It should be earlier."

Zhang Dun's eyes were stern and said, "You can't delay it! You have to hold a reward conference as soon as possible. All generals must return to their posts as soon as possible. Li Xia, Liao, must continue to put pressure on them, otherwise I would really think that I, the Song Dynasty, could threaten it at will with just two letters, which is ridiculous!"

Although everyone did not see the letter, they could still guess one or two.

As the Minister of War, Xu General said: "It's no time to go to great grandpa."

Zhang Dun glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "After the discussion on Zichen Palace, Prime Minister Shu, you will take Zhe Keshi, Guo Cheng, and Zhong Jianzhong to meet the official family. Some things should be told to them. Li Xia is not worth worrying about, but he cannot underestimate it. Liao Kingdom dares to do whatever he wants to fight!"

Everyone's hearts sank and frowned secretly.

Zhang Dun has always had a straight temper, and many of the attacks on Li Xia by Emperor Shenzong were insisting on Zhang Dun.

However, they couldn't accept the war against the Liao Kingdom psychologically. The Chanyuan Alliance was a shadow that could never be erased in the hearts of the Song people.

Zhang Dun had no nonsense, stood up and said, "I have said everything I should say, it's not a few days before the Chinese New Year. The matter on Jiangnan West Road must be settled, the Kaifeng Prefecture pilot project must be summarized, and the Beijing inspection must have results. Next year, all unfamiliar things must be accurate and done on time and on time, and never delay!"

The crowd stood up together and raised their hands and said, "Secretary and wait for the order!"

Zhang Dun turned around and was about to leave, and suddenly said, "Su Dongpo, come with me."

Su Shi was confused and responded to him.

Cai Bian packed up his things, looked at Liang Tao, and said, "Shangshu Liang, come here too."

With the rapid operation of money and grain in the Song Dynasty, the Minister of Revenue, who mastered money and grain, became increasingly prominent.

"Yes." Liang Tao said.

Zhang Feng and Xu Jiang looked at each other, and the two walked together tacitly.

If the "military reform" is led by the Ministry of War, the Privy Council will be unconsciously weakened, although the power of the Privy Council has always been "deployed troops".

The others gathered together in groups of three or three, talked about things, and went out of the political affairs hall.

Wang Cun looked relaxed and smiling, walking alone.

His mentality is the most complicated now, with relaxed and freehand paintings, and a little worried.

Most of the relaxed freehand paintings come from Empress Meng’s son. No matter what, Empress Meng is also a person determined by Empress Gao, and the imprint on her body cannot be washed away. Their identity as an "old party" will inevitably be raised invisibly and become more condensed!

Although there are few worries, there are also some, that is, Su Shi joined the Ministry of Works.

Su Shi and the political views of the "Shu Party" behind him made the "new and old" parties disliked. When he entered the Ministry of Works, he would inevitably weaken the "old party"'s power in the Ministry of Works and the position of the court, and would also differentiate the entire "old party".

The military generals who had been anxiously waiting for the "Shenxia Campaign" in Honglu Temple were relieved to get the news.

The court's struggle was the most cruel, and they still hoped to leave Beijing as soon as possible.

In short, Zhao Quan's birth inadvertently calmed down the undercurrents in the court and the country.

A few days later, as the reward approached, the atmosphere in the court and the country became warmer.

Rewards are the ones that can best inspire morale and people's hearts.

The day before the dynasty, Zhao Xu led all officials to worship the ancestral temple.

After a complicated ritual process, Li Qingchen read the sacrificial documents, Zhao Xu honestly sang incense, declared loudly, and comforted his ancestors.

Then, Zhao Xu issued an order to build a new sculpture for Zhang Yu on Yu Street. The sculpture is not far from Xuande Gate, and it is as tall as a towering nameplate below clearly records his life and merits, especially a row of conspicuous handwriting: the prince's tutor, Pu Chenghou, and the food is 1,500 stones.

The sculpture has been under construction for a long time, but it took some time to stand it up.

Zhao Xu took all the ministers, looked at the sculptures, and said loudly: "There is Lingyan Pavilion in the Tang Dynasty, and I am not much inferior to the Song Dynasty. I am willing to erect a monument for all my merits in this imperial street. I am willing to erect a monument for all my merits. Military generals dismount and civil officials fall into sedan chairs. Even I have to walk to commend merits!"

The ministers and the onlookers were all shocked.

When the court arrives at Zichen Hall, the ministers will be rewarded.

The Zichen Palace is too small, standing full of people, almost crowded, without any gaps.

Zhao Xu dressed in an extremely formal manner and sat upright majestic and solemn manner.

Chenpi stood on Dan, holding the imperial edict and said in a long voice:
Chapter completed!
