While Zhao Xu and Zhang Qing were playing chess and chatting, the meeting of the Zhengshi Hall continued.

Even though these laws or major policies have been brewing for a long time and there are basically consensus, there are still many bumps and bumps.

For example, in the Ministry of Revenue, the court demanded that the Transport Department be weakened or cancelled, because the Transport Department was above many officials in the local area and became the actual chief official. The Transport Department was very expensive and the court was already a little overwhelmed.

But this was rejected by Liang Tao, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

His original words were: "The officials opposed it. They all opposed it from beginning to end. The Transport Department certainly has many disadvantages, but weakening or canceling the Transport Department, and the transfer of money and grain will occur next year. The Ministry of Revenue cannot bear it, and the court cannot. The officials hope that the Grand Secretary and the Political Affairs Hall will think twice. If the Grand Secretary and other decisions are intended to be implemented, the subordinates will sue the officials and ask the officials to make a decision."

Since Zhang Dun became the "prison officer", few people have dared to contradict him, especially at the enlarged meeting of the Political Affairs Hall!

When Cai Bian proposed that the income and expenditure plan for next year should ensure that the national treasury was full, it was also strongly opposed by Liang Tao.

He bluntly said: The court originally ate the food of the emperor and had severe overdrafts every year. He still owed 6 million trump trump treasurys in the internal treasury and had not paid back. Moreover, tax cuts will be reduced next year, and the military, the Ministry of Works, etc. will be greatly spent, and the national treasury will be deficits next year, at least 20 million trump trump treasurys!

When Zhang Dun announced the "waterway connection plan", he wanted to use "six waterways as the main and twenty-eight official roads as the auxiliary to connect the whole country", which was opposed by the Ministry of Works.

Su Shi, Minister of Works, insisted that the court's plan "eliminates people's efforts and is of no use to the people" and "we should put people first and strive to alleviate difficulties."

The meaning is very simple. The money and food of the court should be used in the deepest part, rather than building any road and channel.

Even if there is resistance, in the face of many "new laws", Zhang Dun, Cai Bian and others have some solutions, pushing them away with a huge effort and continuing various issues.

When Li Qingchen, the Minister of Rites, took out the "Shaosheng Rite", he said: "Da Xianggong, this "Shaosheng Rite" is just a preliminary stage. The Ministry of Rites is stepping up the compilation and strives to create a "Shaosheng Rite" in three to five years, which is a success."

There has been a tradition of ceremonies throughout the dynasties, which is a great merit that can be passed down for thousands of generations.

Li Qingchen's words were opposed by many people. It was not to prevent the practice of the "Shaosheng Ceremony", but in the "Shaosheng Ceremony", many rituals and laws were "corrected" and many rituals were eliminated. This ritual has regulations ranging from national rituals to wedding rituals for ordinary people, even burials, graves, and worship!

In short, this "Shaosheng Literature" is a code of slimming. It has slightly modified the rituals, but has also made a lot of deletions on various rituals, rituals, rules, etc.

‘Rite’ is too important to people today, even sacred. It is higher than the law and is not easy to touch, let alone large-scale modifications.

Some Shangshu and ministers expressed different opinions, and even Wen Yanbo suddenly opened his mouth and said: Etiquette will change according to people, but change according to things. What is the basis for the world?

His meaning is very simple. If someone violates etiquette in the future, will it be fine if he modifyes it? Then what is the use of etiquette in the future?

Li Qingchen argued with reason and refuted: Etiquette and law have been long and complicated from ancient times to the present. Just talking about a marriage, the "Six Etiquettes" will take three months, and the marriage will take ten days. The process is so complicated that it is increasing day by day. What are the benefits?

The funeral is even more complicated and difficult to describe. It takes three hours to bury one. There are dozens of filial sons who die of exhaustion on the grave every year!

The imperial court ceremony, from the beginning to the end, can be as short as three days, and from more than a month to more than a month. How many things can be omitted? In an ordinary ceremony for ancestor worship, a filial son must kowtow more than three hundred heads, and a dozen descendants must kowtow for one day. What kind of filial piety is this?

Therefore, the Political Affairs Hall argued endlessly about this. Some people thought that some places could be modified, and many of them were indeed unnecessary. But some people thought that it was impossible to change, and that was "sincere".

Zhao Xu didn't care about the arguments in the Political Affairs Hall. As long as he didn't attack the lawsuit in front of him, he would know nothing.

The meeting of the Political Affairs Hall lasted until the evening. When Zhao Xu went to Qingshou Hall to have a meal, the Political Affairs Hall was still brightly lit, and various sounds were heard one after another, and there were endless debates.

Birthday Hall.

Zhao Xu, Zhu Taifei and his son, and Brother Quan is in Zhao You'e's arms.

Zhao You'e liked her nephew very much, held her in her arms and teased her differently, and the two little guys kept giggling.

Concubine Zhu glanced at them and talked about family matters with Zhao Xu while eating.

Concubine Zhu sighed a little and said, "I used to enter the palace with me, but later I was married to Prince Ji. Less than three years after the family, the prince disappeared. Two days ago, I heard that she was almost out of reach. I went quietly to take a look. She held my hand and cried for a long time, saying that she would not worry about the child. Her child was only seven years old, and a whole family bullied their orphans and widows. Life was already difficult. When she left, I didn't know whether the child could grow up..."

Zhao Xu also knew the filth in the big family, especially the two sons of the "Crown Prince".

Concubine Zhu sighed and said for a long time.

Zhao Xu accompanied him and comforted him a lot.

After a while, Concubine Zhu glanced at Zhao You'e again, sat closer to Zhao Xu, and whispered: "Official family, I ask you, what did you think about the amnesty?"

Zhao Xu was stunned, leaned closer and smiled, "Is someone asking for this to my mother?"

Concubine Zhu frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Stop being careless. What I am talking about is the matter of the Gao family, the Meng family, and the King of Yan Zhao Hao and others."

Zhao Xu was actually not surprised at all. Although Concubine Zhu ignored the government affairs, she could not ignore some major issues.

For example, when those in the outer court wanted to seize the title of Empress Dowager Gao, Concubine Zhu dissuaded Zhao Xu and his grandson deposed his grandmother. This is very unfilial! How should this historical book be written?

Now, involving amnesty, Gao family, Meng family, and royal family are related to the harem and royal stability. She, the concubine, cannot pretend to have seen nothing.

Zhao Xu thought for a moment and said calmly: "I won't hide it from my mother, I don't plan to pardon them."

There are too many ties to this, and there are grudges.

Empress Dowager Gao asked him to be the "Shadow Emperor" for nine years. The Meng family, Gao family, Zhao Hao and others were Empress Dowager Gao's "accomplices" and bullied him too much!

Moreover, the Gao family, Meng family, Zhao Hao and others are also related to the "new law". Pardoning their family is equivalent to sending a signal to the people of the world - it's okay to oppose the "new law"!

This will inspire stubborn forces!

Concubine Zhu knew a little, and said in a dilemma: "I know you have your concerns. The Gao family and the King of Yan are all okay, the Meng family... the queen, what are you going to do? Brother Quan will grow up slowly."

The Meng family is Queen Meng’s mother’s home.

Brother Quan is the eldest son of Empress Meng.

Concubine Zhu was worried that Empress Meng would have any ideas, which would affect Brother Quan.
