On the night of this day, I don’t know how many letters were sent from Kaifeng City to all parts of the Song Dynasty.

Since Renzong, the party struggles have become more and more fierce, so the Shenzong Dynasty is incompatible.

The struggle between the "old and new" parties is far from over. Although the "old party" is now in entrenched in the court, the "new party" has never stopped, and the attacks on each other and the hindrance continues to end.

Now, young officials who tend to reform or reform have hope of taking power, how can they still sit still?

In Kaifeng City, undercurrents were surging, but the surface was quite calm.

The moon is on the willows, and Liang Tao, the Minister of Revenue, who is temporarily serving as the envoy of the Three Departments, is running around. If he wants to raise one million coins in five days, he can only find ways from the various treasuries of the court. The power of these treasuries is scattered in various departments such as the Three Provinces and Six Ministry, and Liang Tao can only visit the door everywhere.

On the evening, there were only minor officials left behind in each department, and Liang Tao almost took the mansions of these big men one by one.

In just half an hour, he had arrived at the seventh place: the Secretariat of the Secretariat, the mansion of the Secretariat of Fan Bailu.

Liang Tao took a deep breath and stepped forward to shoot the door.

The door opened quickly, and a servant's head stuck out, looked at Liang Tao and said directly: "Shangshu Liang, our lord is asleep, and you will go to the yamen to find him tomorrow."

Liang Tao looked at the doorman and was stunned.

Behind Liang Tao, there was a right minister of Cao. Just as he was about to speak, the door was closed with a bang.

The right assistant minister was angry a lot along the way. Seeing that this place was even more direct, he couldn't suppress his anger and said angrily: "What does Fan Zhongshu mean? What does this mean? What does it mean? What does it mean? How do you say after you are asleep? I think he was deliberately embarrassing Shangshu!"

Liang Tao had no expression on his face. Although he was furious, he knew that it was not the time to get angry. The key to the problem was to complete the tasks assigned by the official and raise enough money and food.

Liang Tao stood in front of the gate of Fan's mansion and thought about it, and said, "Let's go to the Prime Minister's mansion."

The right assistant minister looked at the sky and said, "Shangshu, it's dark, so why not go back and rest first and accumulate energy. Come early tomorrow morning."

Liang Tao had already had a premonition that things would be very difficult, so he could only ask Lu Dafang to solve them, so he did not dare to delay, so he said directly: "The prime minister may not be easy to talk to. I will go to the jail all night to let him see my sincerity and know that the matter is serious, and maybe he can let go."

The Right Minister finally couldn't help it and said, "Shangshu, let's not talk about the deficits of the Sansi Yamen, but only the military pay and safety of the borders of Huanqing Road, can these husbands really sit still and watch?"

Liang Tao frowned deeply and said, "This matter is not that simple. Don't forget the relationship between Mr. Fan and Su Xianggong."

The Right Minister was stunned for a moment and immediately remembered. Fan Bailu, Su Zhe, Su Shi and others belonged to the Shu school of Confucianism, and they tried their best to criticize Wang Anshi and others' "utilitarian theory". The academic differences were also reflected in politics.

Like Su Che, Fan Bailu belongs to the "old party" and has a close relationship.

The right assistant minister looked at the gate of Fan's mansion and went up to whisper, "What does Fan Zhongshu mean? Are you standing on Su Xianggong's side? Su Xianggong is a prison under the official family."

Liang Tao said in his heart that I want to know too.

Kaifeng City is now very ghostly, and they all become unpredictable and have unclear attitudes, which makes many things shrink and difficult to do.

"You go back, I'll go alone." Liang Tao said, and then took a step straight.

The right assistant minister hurriedly followed and said, "The lower official went back to prepare some copywriting, maybe it's worth it."

Liang Tao nodded and said, "You go to the Sansi Yamen again to see if you can get some news. Even if the summer grain has not arrived, the national treasury should not be so empty. I always feel that there is something wrong with it."

The Right Minister thought to you and felt that he didn't dare to say a few words, and acted separately with Liang Tao.

As soon as Liang Tao and the other two left, the gate of Fan's mansion quietly opened. The doorman came out and saw Liang Tao leaving. Then he entered the door. After closing, he said to the old man wearing a single dress and white hair in front of him, "Master, let's go."

This person is naturally the Secretariat, the Secretariat of the Secretariat, and Fan Bailu.

Fan Bailu didn't say anything and turned around and walked back.

At this time, a woman rushed over and said, "Master, what's wrong?"

Fan Bailu shook his head and said, "If Liu Shian comes again, he won't see you."

Mrs. Fan looked at his side face and said, "He came for Su Xianggong, but it was the intention of Lu Xianggong."

Fan Bailu wore a single dress and went straight back to the bedroom.

On the other side, Liang Tao came to Lu Dafang's mansion and was also turned away.

The Secretary of Liang was not saying that, but wrapped his sleeves directly, sat down in front of Lu Dafang's gate, and slept against the wall.

The Lv Mansion is as quiet as usual, without any movement.

Cining Hall.

Zhao Xu did not always guard Empress Dowager Gao. With Tong Guan's company, he patrolled the palace and met many people to comfort the chaotic hearts.

Zhao Xu walked through the door and saw that the palace was in order and there was not much chaos. He nodded secretly. This Tong Guan was indeed very capable and capable.

"These people you recommended are good, but you still have to observe for a while. I will choose the Yellow Gate Order and the Young Prison," Zhao Xu said as he walked.

Huangmen Ling is still Zhou He, and the two young jailers have not moved for the time being.

Tong Guan bowed and accompanied him with caution, saying, "Yes. The villain ordered by the official to do it, but he didn't give any instructions, so he would not touch it at all."

Zhao Xu glanced at him and said, "If you do it, you will benefit you."

Tong Guan hurriedly said: "The villain doesn't want any benefits, he just wants to solve the problems of the official family."

Zhao Xu laughed, came to the back of the Huangyi Hall, and thought, "Let me go and clean up the Chugong Hall."

The Chuigong Hall is the place where the emperor works daily, meets court officials, and handles political affairs.

Tong Guan glanced at him and said, "Yes, the villain will do it now."

Zhao Xu waved his hand, rubbed his face gently, looked up at the moonlight, thinking about what might happen tomorrow.

Originally, the court talks should have been held tomorrow, but Empress Dowager Gao was seriously ill and naturally couldn't have been held.

Then what will Lu Dafang and others react?

How will he save Su Zhe?

Zhao Xu walked around again and returned to Cining Hall again.

Before Empress Dowager Gao woke up, Zhao Xu sat on the head of her bed, holding her hands, squinting her eyes and pretending to sleep.

Zhou He stood not far away, not daring to be careless at all.

The palace was very quiet, with no unnecessary sound, but the whistle sounded from time to time.

Chenpi came in three or four times, and saw Zhao Xu sleeping soundly, but he didn't dare to disturb him.

Zhou and Yu Guang swept over the tangerine peel, thinking that he was a low-level official not long ago, his heart became heavier.

It was not until dawn that Zhao Xu's arms were numb and uncomfortable, so he slowly woke up. In a blink of an eye, Empress Dowager Gao frowned, and knew that she was about to wake up. He pondered and said to Zhou He: "Please come and take the pulse. Give me a basin of water."

Zhou He also saw it, responded excitedly, and ordered the palace maids to do it.

While Zhao Xu was washing his face, the imperial physician took the pulse carefully and carefully checked it. Then he turned to Zhao Xu and said, "The emperor's pulse is stable and his breath is smooth. At noon, he can almost wake up."

Zhou He was overjoyed and said, "Hurry, please prescribe the imperial physician."

Zhao Xu wiped his face and nodded, "The Imperial Doctor is here today, and I will leave when my grandmother wakes up."

The imperial physician raised his hand and responded, carrying the medicine box to prescribe the prescription.

“At noon?”

Zhao Xu whispered to himself, but with more time, he could do more.

"Call the tangerine peel."

Zhao Xu looked at the imperial guard road not far away.

"yes."

The guard responded and quickly turned around and left.

Zhou He listened and looked down gently, looking a little anxious.
