Walking on the way to Xuandemen, Cai Bian was still persuading.

"The official family, it's too dangerous, and it's even more majestic ......to put it in the Zichen Palace," Cai Bian was a little bitter.

Holding a meeting at Xuandemen, this is something that has never been done before, right?

Zhao Xu waved his hand to stop them from continuing to persuade.

In later generations, there was no fear of that kind of hot weapon, not to mention that it is now a cold weapon. If he can't protect him in Xuandemen, he won't leave the palace at all in the future.

Seeing this, Cai Bian had no choice but to keep his mouth shut and look at Xuandemen, hoping that he could watch a little more closely.

Liang Tao didn't speak even more.

At this time, outside the Xuande Gate, a boxy open space was vacated, and three lines blocked I don't know how many people.

At the farther intersection, the officials and guards checked the people passing by one to make sure that they were not hiding any 'weapons' that could harm Zhao Xu.

After a short time, the official of Kaifeng Mansion led a group of people, walked through the sea of people, came in from the cordon, and stood not far from the table.

These people, including the magistrates of the sixteen counties of Kaifeng Prefecture, as well as the common people, gentry, merchants, etc., are all people who have 'outstanding performance' in the reform of Kaifeng Prefecture.

They were all a little confused, they had never seen such a scene, and they didn't know what to do, so they could only stand.

The officials of Kaifeng Mansion just acted on orders, and they didn't say anything, and they retreated to the side when they brought it.

"What is this for?"

The crowd around looked at it and became more and more puzzled.

"That person, it seems to be the magistrate of Zhongmu County?"

"That, it seems to be Li Yuanwai, he is also there?"

"Isn't that Chen Zhihao? I heard that he just chartered a few tea mountains in Hangzhou last year, and the business is doing a lot of business......"

"Those people seem to be farming, and they still have dirt ...... on their faces"

"What the hell is going on?"

"It's weird......"

The people outside the cordon were all stunned, and these people who came were in a mess, and they didn't know what the purpose was.

Bi Gradual, who was in the crowd, was also puzzled and thoughtful.

Zhao Tan was also there, he squinted his eyes and sneered.

He felt that the 'New Party' was really ridiculous, and that it did not understand the aspirations of the people at all, and that if it continued like this, it would sooner or later cause a big disaster!

There were also some former high-ranking officials of the imperial court in the crowd, who also frowned and pondered.

"Hmph, the 'New Party' likes to engage in these vain things, completely ignoring the ancestral law!"

"Xuandemen is such a heavy place, how can it be so chaotic, and the royal prestige is still missing!"

"No, tomorrow, not today, I must write a book to impeach Zhang Dian and others, hum, there is no king's law!"

As soon as they finished speaking, they saw a young man in regular clothes, surrounded by everyone, and slowly walked out of Xuande Gate.

The voices of those former high-ranking officials came to an abrupt end!

Their eyes widened in disbelief!

came out, it was actually an official family!

In their memory, the official family should stay in the deep palace, and it is rare for outsiders to see it!

There were also many people who had seen Zhao Xu, and they were also surprised and speechless.

The sound outside the cordon, as Zhao Xu stepped out, gradually decreased, and then the needle drop could be heard!

After a while, Bi gradually looked at Zhao Xu, who had already approached the table, and his heart suddenly became excited, and he said to himself: "Is this the official family?" ”

Those who care about the situation know that the recent series of drastic changes are all because of this young official, starting from his pro-government!

Zhao Tan frowned, his face was a little bad.

He has always been dissatisfied with the imperial court because Su Shi and others were deposed and exiled, and naturally he has no good impression of this young official family after the pro-government.

Zhang Huaisu in the crowd, stroking his beard with one hand and habitually pinching with the other, stared at Zhao Xu, with a weird smile on the corner of his mouth.

And the county commanders, gentry, and people within the cordon were even more masterless, and they watched Zhao Xu and a group of people approaching in a daze.

When Zhao Xu arrived at the table, the magistrate who had reacted suddenly knelt on the ground with a puff and said loudly: "Bao De, the magistrate of Xianping County, see Your Majesty!" ”

When he shouted, the others reacted quickly.

The magistrates of Yangwu County, Zhongmu County and other counties quickly knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.

Then someone outside the cordon woke up suddenly, and they also knelt on the ground, shouting 'See Your Majesty'.

It was already crowded outside the cordon, and there was chaos when he knelt down, so he still knelt down stiffly.

Everyone else kneels, who dares to stand?

Not long after, outside the huge Xuande Gate, except for the people around Zhao Xu, only the guards not far away bowed to salute.

Zhao Xu saw that there were no more people kneeling, and he was very caught off guard by such a scene, but he immediately returned to normal, smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said loudly: "No courtesy, flat body!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The voice of the response was very uneven, uneven, or quite large, echoing endlessly in front of the Xuande Gate.

The crowd slowly stood up, their eyes were on Zhao Xu, they were still very shocked and puzzled in their hearts, and they didn't know what was going on today.

Zhao Xu looked around, suddenly a little nervous in his heart, took a deep breath, his eyes fell on the group of people across the table, and said with a smile: "Today, I am here to thank you, please take a seat." ”

Li Bozhi, the magistrate of Yangwu County, was stunned, and raised his hand first: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others are all in their own business, and they dare not be an official to thank you." ”

The others followed along, some of the gentry who had never seen Zhao Xu, and the people nodded again and again, nervous and excited, unable to speak.

Zhao Xu smiled slightly, pulled over a chair, took the lead in sitting down, and looked at the crowd: "You are all heroes, you can't stand and talk, you all sit." ”

The crowd is still hesitant, how dare they sit on an equal footing with the official family, let alone in front of so many people.

Cai Bian stood beside Zhao Xu, expressionless, and said lightly: "Do you need me to pull a chair for you?" ”

Seeing this, Zheng Hezhi, the magistrate of Yongqiu County, decisively raised his hand to Zhao Xu and said, "Xie Guan's family." ”

After speaking, he found his place and sat down with a look on his face.

The person next to him hesitated a little and had to follow.

Sixteen magistrates sat down one after another, and the other gentry and the people could only follow the crowd.

They sat down one after another, and the crowd outside the cordon quietly buzzed, not knowing what they were talking about.

Zhao Xu could feel their strange gazes, his expression did not move, and after waiting for the little official to serve good tea, he picked up the teacup and said to everyone at the table: "Replace wine with tea, all the Qing family and the people, for the great government of the court, you have worked hard!" ”

The crowd was startled and hurriedly got up.

Zhao Xu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Sit down, today, the common rites are all exempted." No matter what happens today, as long as you don't stab me with a knife, it's all right. ”

Everyone hesitated again and again, and when they saw Cai Bian's solemn color, they sat down cautiously, held the teacup and said, "The ministers (villains) don't dare to be." ”

Zhao Xu took a sip of tea, and waited for them to put down the teacups one after another, smiling, and considering the wording.

The officials on the cordon, seeing that the buzzing was gradually getting louder, shouted one after another: "Silence! ”

This made Xuandemen a little quiet.

Zhao Xu sat up straight, ignored the people outside, groaned slightly, and said, "I won't talk nonsense, get straight to the point." Since I became in power, I have expounded the laws of the previous emperor and tried to eliminate maladministration, in order to establish a clean, rich and strong Great Song Dynasty. I am determined to make everyone in my Great Song Dynasty have food, clothing, housing, and books. Therefore, in Kaifeng Prefecture, the pilot project implements the 'Fangtian Average Tax Law', one is to measure the acres of land, and the other is to balance the tax. But there were many obstacles, both in the court and locally. It stands to reason that this is a major event for the benefit of the country and the people, why do so many people speak righteously and oppose it one after another? ”

Zhao Xu said here, pausing.

Ge Linjia, the magistrate of Yanling County, seemed to think that Zhao Xu was asking, so he immediately stood up, raised his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's implementation experience in Yanling County, the people who hinder the 'Fangtian Average Tax Law' are not corrupt people, they are afraid of being exposed, so they do everything possible to stop it, and most of the people in the court are the same." My Great Song Fadu is like a holy light, how can I allow Xiaoxiao to act recklessly? ”

Zheng Hezhi, the magistrate of Yongqiu County, stood up, his face was resolute, and said, "Your Majesty, what Ge Zhixian said is very true. The more it is resisted, the more it shows that the maladministration is serious and has to be eliminated. The "Fangtian Tax Law" is a good prescription for diseases, please insist on implementing it, and it cannot be half abolished! ”

The others seemed to be in a hurry to behave, and then spoke in quick succession.

The gentry, the common people seemed to want to interject a sentence or two, but hesitated and did not dare to speak.

But the people outside the cordon, the buzzing was even more intense.

How could they have imagined that the official family would actually 'hold a meeting' at Xuande Gate and openly discuss the 'new law'!

Moreover, the rebellion against the 'new law' is directly attributed to 'corruption and perversion of the law'!
