Cai Jing, who was angry, ordered the officials of the Criminal Department to surround the teahouse.

But he soon faced difficulties, and the list he wrote was deleted, revised, and never finalized. He knew very well in his heart who were behind this and the first teahouse. He sealed this teahouse, and it can be explained that the official family is angry, if he arrests people on a large scale, it will not be as simple as sealing the building.

Cai Jing sat in the duty room, his face was sinking like water, and his eyes were flickering. My heart was full of the recital of the abolition of the imperial examination that I had just sent, and I hesitated and struggled in my heart.

He regretted his recklessness, but there was a glimmer of anticipation.

He can already touch a little bit of the official's mind in the palace.

When Cai Jing was anxious, in the political hall, Su Song, Zhangdun and Cai Bian were comforting Zhang Ke and the other seven people.

These people are all carefully selected by Zhang Dan, either the six squires or the three temples. All of them are the backbone of the reformers, and it is impossible to just leave.

It has been nearly 30 years since the beginning of the Xining reform, in which the process has been ups and downs, and there have been countless difficulties, and too many people of the 'New Party' have defected, especially after Zhao Xu ascended the throne of Yuan You, the 'New Party' has been purged like never before, and the new law has been abolished, facing huge setbacks. Like Cai Jing, there are many people who fall to the 'old party'.

Almost all of those who can stay are battle-tested fighters, and now at the juncture of reform and when they urgently need to hire people, even if they are dissatisfied with Zhang Dian, Zhang Dian, Cai Bian and others cannot really let them resign and leave.

Zhang Kewei and others did not choose to leave in the end under the division and collapse of the three ministers, they knew very well in their hearts that they could not bring down Zhang Dun. Zhao Xu's last words made their hopes come to naught, and it was impossible for Zeng Bu and others to come back to replace Zhang Dian and become the new leader of the 'New Party'.

The three of them finally stabilized Zhang Kewei and others, temporarily stabilized the imperial court, and also temporarily pacified the rifts within the New Party.

But the matter is not over, as soon as Cai Jing's recital came out, it suddenly set off stormy waves again. Before Zhang Dian returned to the Qingwa House, he was blocked by Huang Lu in the Imperial History, and Lin Xi, the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu, blocked the road between the political hall and the Qingwa House.

The expressions of the two were not very good, Lin Xi looked indifferent, and asked directly in an unkind tone: "Cai Jing's recital was originally instructed by you?" Why don't I know? ”

Lin Xi is the secretary of the ministry, and it was Zhang Dian who recommended him to return to the dynasty, and the power of the ministry is gradually returning, and the position of the secretary is becoming more and more prominent. Lin Xi has become Zhang's most important arm and the most important political ally.

The biggest difference between the 'new party' and the 'old party' is that they are not united because of interests, but mostly because of common political ideas. Therefore, Lin Xi is not a henchman of Zhangdun and does not have any interests to attach. This is also the reason why he dared to be upright and stop Zhang Dian here for questioning.

Huang Lu trusts Zhang Dian even more, and is Zhang Tun's old subordinate for many years. But at this moment, he said with a calm face; "Xianggong, this matter is very important, just go at this juncture, don't rush in!"

Zhang Dianjian's eyebrows moved, his face was resolute and stern, and he said lightly: "I also just knew." ”

Lin Xi didn't believe it, stared at him and said: "Abolish the imperial examination, this matter is within the scope of the authority of the Ministry of Officials, not the Criminal Department." ”

Zhang Dian heard what he meant, and emphasized again: "This is the first time I have heard about this matter, and I will go to the official's house to inquire later." ”

Lin Xi couldn't see anything from Zhang Dan's expression, his expression was indifferent, but his attitude was very resolute, big: "I don't care what your attitude is, I don't agree." Even if it is discussed in the ministry, I will veto it. ”

The affairs of the imperial court are not something that can be done by anyone with a script or a few words, and they have their own procedures. Lin Xi, as the secretary of the ministry, if he resolutely opposes it, Zhang Dun, the fact that the prime minister, and the leader of the 'new party', will have no problem.

Huang Lu glanced at Lin Xi quietly and did not speak. The abolition of the imperial examination is not trivial, as a secretary of the ministry, Lin Xi's attitude is understandable.

He was a little puzzled now, if this matter was not secretly instructed by Zhang Dan, would Cai Jing's wall grass have such courage?

Suddenly, his expression changed slightly, and he looked at Zhang Dian solemnly.

Zhang Dian understood what he meant and said directly: "There is no need for the official family to go around this bend. Don't think nonsense, this music originally appeared outside the palace, and it was not the intention of the official family. ”

Lin Xi's face was expressionless, and he said: "If the official family moves this thought, I will fight for it on the basis of reason." As long as I am still a secretary of the Ministry for a day, I will definitely not agree. ”

The imperial examination has gone through thousands of years, it is the only one in all dynasties, not to mention the only, but it is the most important way to take scholars.

Lin Xi, the secretary of the ministry, expressed his attitude so clearly and clearly, which in itself said that this matter was sensitive and important.

Zhang Dian looked at him, his expression became more and more stern, and he said for a long time: "Before I met the official family, you must appease the various departments and not cause trouble. ”

Lin Xi looked at him and nodded indifferently.

Zhang Dan turned to Huang Xu.

Huang Lu immediately said: "Yushitai will not make trouble. ”

In fact, in the face of such a big matter, just like Zhang Dian couldn't suppress Lin Xi and the others, Lin Xi, Huang Lu and others couldn't suppress the people below them.

Zhang Dian didn't say much, turned around and turned back to the blue-tiled house.

Huang Lu hesitated, looked at Lin Xi and said, "I don't feel like Zhang Xianggong meant......"

Lin Xi's tone was decisive and said: "No matter whose idea it is, it is a matter of the foundation of the country and the millennium plan, such a rash action is really stupid!" ”

Huang Lu nodded more decisively, the government and the opposition were already in turmoil, and at this time, such a script appeared, which was adding fuel to the fire and was destined to be difficult to achieve.

In the Qingwa House, Cai Bian is directing officials at all levels in the Qingwa House to reorganize a series of 'new laws' on the 'experimental area' of Kaifeng Prefecture. There are too many things burned in Kaifeng City, and it is still difficult to reformulate them before the end of the court break.

Cai Bian saw Zhang Dian coming back, stopped talking, turned around and said, "I just went to the Privy Council to see Tong Guan, and he kept silent. ”

Tong Guan sits in the Privy Council and is Zhao Xu's eyes.

Zhang Dian sat down in his chair, his face was stern, he muttered for a long time, and suddenly snorted coldly, and said, "Your brother is really good at seizing the opportunity!" ”

The current Great Song Dynasty court is boiling, and there are many complicated things, Cai Jing has such a book at this time, and his thoughts are really difficult to explain!

Cai Bian and Cai Jing have long been strangers, and they were silent for a while and said: "He doesn't matter, it depends on what the official family thinks." ”

Zhang Dian glanced up at him and said lightly: "What do you think the official family will think?" ”

Cai Bian shook his head directly and said, "The official family may be tempted, but he has always taken the overall situation into account, so he should not agree." ”

Zhang Dun said directly: "I'm not sure." ”

Cai Bian looked surprised, Zhang Dian and the official in the palace had an extremely tacit understanding, this time he was 'unsure'?

Cai Bian looked at him, pondered for a moment, and said, "Instead of thinking nonsense here, it's better to ask for an understanding." ”

Zhang Dian was still thinking about the burning of Kaifeng Mansion, and said as he got up: "Cai Jing and the Criminal Department are not of great use, and the matter of Kaifeng Mansion has to be investigated by the Imperial City Division." ”

Cai Jing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is Cai Bian's brother, and the commander of the Imperial City Division is Cai Bian's eldest nephew.

What can Cai Bian say?

In the Vertical Arch Palace, Zhao Xu had already returned, took a sip of tea, and Chen Pi whispered on the side: "Official, the villain has asked Qingtianwei to quietly investigate." The villain estimated that he might not be able to find anything on the side of the criminal department. ”

Zhao Xu is still thinking about Cai Jing's notebook now, and he didn't pay attention to the so-called and first teahouse.

Holding the teacup in his hand, Zhao Xu thought in his heart, and said slowly: "You say, when you say that the imperial examination will be abolished, can Zhang Xianggong and others agree?" ”

Chen Pi blinked, hesitated, but still said very carefully: "The official family, Cai Jing, father and son, none of them can be trusted. ”

Zhao Xu nodded subconsciously, and saw Zhang Dian and Cai Bian coming together.
