Zhao Xu ignored what Su Song was thinking, settled the matter, looked at Chen Qi, and said, "What's the matter with the Chen Qing family?"

Chen Qi raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, it is the death of the Empress Dowager."

What he prepared yesterday was about Zhao Xu's wedding. Before dawn, he heard Empress Dowager Xiang passed away and had to change his words temporarily.

Zhao Xu was completely unrest in the death of Empress Dowager Xiang, and said lightly: "For this matter, my grandmother will issue an edict, wait for the imperial edict."

Chen Qi responded "Yes", raised his hand, and wanted to speak but stopped.

Zhao Xu looked at him, glanced at Su Song again, Liang Tao, and said, "There is also the Ministry of Justice outside, and the Censorate is waiting. You guys have other things to do, so let's talk about it later."

Su Song, Liang Tao had no idea, Chen Qi understood and raised his hand and said, "I will leave."

Zhao Xu watched the three of them leave, took a sip of tea, thinking in his heart that this was not enough, and he had to send Lu Dafang and Erfan away completely.

Zhao Xu was thinking that Huang Shan, Ma Yan and Qian Sheng came in, and raised his hands together and said, "I will meet your Majesty."

Zhao Xu put the teacup aside and said, "Have you found out?"

Huang Shan was the Minister of Justice. He said with a thorn in his mouth: "Your Majesty, I've found out, yes, it's a jailer. Because he resented Su Che for being sentenced to kill his brother, he felt resentful in his heart, and took the opportunity to do so and killed Su Che."

Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this the result you found for me?"

Huang Zheng looked stiff and there were no outsiders here, so he said directly: "That prisoner... committed suicide by taking poison at home."

Zhao Xu looked at Huang Shan, Yu Guang swept to Ma Yan, Qian Sheng and said coldly: "Just this one, I will let the Imperial City Office jail you all. Do you think it is wrong?"

The three of them trembled and they all knelt down, saying, "I know the crime."

Bang

Zhao Xu's face turned pale, he slapped the table and shouted, "I know the guilt!? Do you want you know the guilt? I'm assassinating the Third Division envoy in the Ministry of Justice. Tomorrow, will I die for no reason, and then I will be pushed to a palace maid, and the eunuch will be fine! Is this a good job you do?!"

Huang Zheng, Ma Yan, Qian Sheng and the other two knelt on the ground, with a hint of cold sweat oozing from their heads, and they didn't dare to breathe.

The official family in front of him is not the Shenzong. It is nothing to be able to kill Liu Shi'an if he is put into their prison!

Zhao Xu stared at the three of them coldly and said, "I will give you three days! If you can't find out within three days, I will put you in jail and extinguish the anger of the Su family and all officials in the court and the government!"

Huang Zheng and the other two felt their necks cold and bowed again and said, "I obey the order."

Zhao Xu looked down at the three of them, his eyes flickered, and said, "In the future, we will report anything to me first and then inform the Political Affairs Hall. Do you understand?"

Although Huang Zheng and Ma Yan and the other two were afraid, they knew what Zhao Xu meant. They had to put a knife on their necks, so they had to say, "I obey the order."

Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "Go."

"I'm leaving." The three of them trembled and were about to get up.

Huang Shan fell to the ground with a big drop of cold sweat. He stood up with difficulty. Suddenly his knees became weak. Instead of standing firm, he fell head-on and screamed with pain.

Seeing this, Ma Yan quickly helped him up and looked at Zhao Xu carefully.

Qian Sheng didn't care about his nervousness, and held Huang Shan and left the Chuigong Hall.

Huang Shan's face was as white as paper, his legs were weak, and it was almost Qian Sheng and Ma Yan and the others dragged it out.

Seeing the three of them leaving, Zhao Xu silently picked up the teacup again.

In fact, he didn't care whether they could find out clearly. It would be best if they couldn't find out clearly, so he kept using this case to hit the people in the outer court.

The most important thing is that Zhao Xu wanted Dali Temple and the Censorate to go past the Political Affairs Hall at the same time and report directly to him.

The Sansi Yamen was sealed by him, and most of the powers involved in money, grain and other rights were handed over to the Ministry of Revenue. The Shangshu Province, the Secretariat, and the Menxia Province were merged into the Zhengshi Hall.

The pattern of three provinces hanging in the air and six ministries was basically formed. The Censorate and Dali Temple were outside.

Now that Ma Yan and Qian Sheng have been taken care of, the initial goal has been achieved.

‘Going further is to clean up the government affairs hall…’

Zhao Xu held the teacup with a thoughtful look in his heart.

Perhaps it is easy to deal with Lu Dafang, Erfan and others, but it is difficult to change this kind of court pattern with intertwined checks and balances and people are overdoing things. After all, it is a trauma for more than a hundred years.

But if the court did not centralize power and strong power, how could it change the complex system of the entire Song Dynasty and the over-the-counterfeiting of local officials?

While Zhao Xu was constantly thinking, Chen Pi came over quietly and said, "Official family, Doctor Shen is asking for a meeting."

Zhao Xu huh said, put down the teacup and said, "I saw him have something to say just now, let him come in."

Tangerine peel responded.

Not long after, Shen Qi came in.

Less than forty years old, with a smart and capable face, he came to Zhao Xu's table and raised his hand and said, "Since Shen Qi, please see the official family."

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, and he still valued the first person who turned to him. He smiled and said, "Don't worry about Shen Qing's family. Even if the wedding is postponed, I will leave you a place, the Secretary of the Central Secretariat."

Although the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat was not very good, he was the steward of the Political Affairs Hall, and there were too many high-ranking officials and nobles. The prime minister had held this position!

Shen Qi's face flashed with surprise, he calmed down quickly, raised his hand, and said hesitantly: "I did not come to invite an official, but... Cai Jing arrived at my residence last night."

When Zhao Xu heard him mention Cai Jing, he looked a little unkind.

Cai Jing was originally thinking that Zhao Xu might be able to help him when he entered Beijing, but he didn't expect that he would not see anyone yet, so what's the point of doing?

Seeing that Zhao Xu was unhappy, Shen Qi hurriedly said, "He gave me a memorial, which is about the new law during the Shenzong period."

Zhao Xu looked at him and raised his hand to signal to Chenpi.

Chenpi hurriedly came forward to take it and handed it to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu is now extremely eager for the content of reform. What he saw in the study is too general and empty, and he needs to comprehensively understand the current actual situation.

Zhao Xu took it and looked around with a blank expression.

Skipping the previous "Cao Jing's minister is asking for a holy clerk", Cai Jing's memorial mentioned the "Fang Tianjun Tax Law", "Exemption Law", "Copper Coin Law", "Salt Law", etc.

Zhao Xu looked at it and shook his head secretly. Although Cai Jing had a lot of content and had many practical new measures, in general, it was a castration and compromise version of Wang Anshi's method, and there was not much innovation.

Zhao Xu closed, looked at Shen Qi, and said, "Cai Jing is a man with snakes and rats. He has a bad character. The Qing family should avoid contact with him in the future."

Seeing that Cai Jing had been sentenced to death in Zhao Xu's heart, Shen Qi was slightly shocked. He didn't dare to mention the 's confession' that Cai Jing said, and bowed and said, "I will keep in mind the teachings of the officials."

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Go, if you have any trouble in the future, come to Chugong Hall to see me, no need to inform me."

This was a huge trust. Chen Qi was overjoyed, raised his hand, bowed deeply, and said excitedly: "I obey the order and leave."

Zhao Xu watched him leave and looked down at Cai Jing's memorial, which was somewhat of a reference.

At this time, a yellow door quietly came in through the side door and whispered a few words in Chenpi's ear.

Chen Pi waved him back and turned to Zhao Xu and said, "Official family, that Cai You is here."

When Zhao Xu heard this, he was tired of thinking about Cai Jing. He was about to wave his hand, but suddenly said, "Let him come in."

Cai You is a ruthless man. His father is unbearable, so he may be able to use it.

Tangerine peel responded and ordered people to pass it on.

Before Zhao Xu's teacup was lifted, Cai You came in a panic and even tripped on the threshold. When he panicked, he knelt down and kowtowed, and whispered loudly: "Cai You, for his father's neglect of Your Majesty, he is not in the throne, so he is here to apologize."

Zhao Xu's teacup was already at his mouth, and his hands were almost falling down when he was unstable.
