Cai Bian was very angry, staring at the direction of Kaifeng Mansion, his face gloomy and uncertain.

He was in Kaifeng Mansion during the day, and he had just arranged a series of things for the reform of the new law, but he didn't expect a fire to come as soon as it was dark.

Cai Bian knew very well that those people couldn't help but make a move after all!

His cheeks were straight, his eyes were wide open, and he didn't say a word.

The fire in Kaifeng Mansion became more and more intense, and the flames soared into the sky, shining on half of Kaifeng City. Even if you are in the palace, you can smell the pungent smell of smoke.

Kaifeng City is not big, coupled with the dry air in winter, such a big movement at night woke up almost all the people in Kaifeng City, stunned and frightened looking at the direction of Kaifeng Mansion, staring at the rising fire.

The officials of the confidential room and the Qingwa room all came out, standing behind Cai Bian with a panicked expression.

These scribes are not stupid, and they can't see that something big is wrong.

It goes without saying that Kaifeng Mansion, as the first test area of the 'new law', suddenly suffered such a fire!

After waiting for a while, one of the scribes stepped forward and whispered, "Xianggong, do you want to take a look?" ”

Cai Bian took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his chest, and said in a tone that could not hide his anger: "What's so beautiful, you can't save things and you can't catch people!" ”

When the scribe heard this, he dared to speak again, and retreated with his head shrunk.

The other officials didn't dare to speak, such a fire, the ministers must be furious!

Cai Bian's eyes were full of anger, and he saw very clearly that since these people dared to do it, they would definitely not leave much of a handle. If it is more ferocious, it is possible to leave two corpses and completely cut off all clues.

Cai Bian thought about countermeasures in his heart, and suddenly, he turned his head to look in the direction of the Funing Palace, where it was pitch black as if he didn't notice anything, and there was no movement.

But Cai Bian knows very well that the officials in the palace know better than him!

Cai Bian thought about countermeasures, and suddenly said, "I'll go to the criminal department." ”

The officials behind him naturally didn't dare to say more, and when they saw Cai Bian leave, a chill couldn't help but rise in their backs.

At the same time, outside Kaifeng Mansion, I don't know how many people are watching the fire, whispering everything.

In the darkness, there are even more figures, staring at the people who come and go, there are smugness, sorrow, apprehension and excitement, and so on.

Han Zongdao, Cao Zheng had already arrived here, looking at the people who were wet on the ground, coming and going to put out the fire, and the case file room had already been engulfed by the fire, and I don't know what it looked like.

The expressions of the two were different, but the anger was the same. Dare to burn Kaifeng Mansion, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the best area in the world, the courage is too great!

Han Zongdao's face was full of anger, his face was pale, he was the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, these people broke ground on his head, how could he not be angry!

While Cao Zheng was angry, he quickly thought of countermeasures in his heart.

In addition to burning Kaifeng Mansion, he also had to find a way to recover the various official documents, books, and scrolls of the 'New Law' that had been burned, so as not to delay the revival of the 'New Law' after the end of the court holiday.

At present, only Kaifeng Mansion is the most comprehensive of these files, and if you want to get a second copy, you have to start from scratch, and I don't know how much manpower and material resources will be spent.

Seeing that the opening of the dynasty is imminent, it is too late!

Han Zongdao quickly thought of this, and became more and more angry in his heart, and said with a calm face: "I can't save it, let's go see Xianggong Zhang." ”

Cao Zheng's eyes reflected the uncontrollable fire, and it was also shining, and there was a look of pain, and it took a long time before he said, "That's the only way." ”

All the documents were burned, and the Blue Tile House, the Government Hall, and the Kaifeng Mansion were going to be busy again.

These people, hateful!

Han Zongdao called a few people, explained it, and then looked at the fire that spread out of Kaifeng Mansion, and left Kaifeng Mansion with Cao Zheng and went to Zhangdun Mansion.

Zhang's mansion is still filled with a foul smell outside the gate, even if it has been cleaned, it still lingers.

Han Zongdao and Cao Zhengdu knew that Zhangfu was splashed with dung during the day, so they forcibly entered the mansion.

Zhang Dian was in a very bad mood today, not because some people had the audacity to burn down the Feng Mansion, but after he returned to the house, his old wife rarely quarreled with him for a long time, and actually asked him to resign and return to his hometown.

Zhang Duan didn't sleep, and after seeing the fire in Kaifeng Mansion, he sent the messenger to drink himself in the pavilion with a pot of wine.

"I've seen Xianggong Zhang." Han Zongdao and Cao Zheng came to the pavilion and raised their hands and said.

Zhang Dian did not speak, and drank wine by himself, not even a plate of side dishes.

Han Zongdao and Cao Zheng looked at it, but they didn't know how to open their mouths for a while.

Now they are facing not only those who oppose the change of law and burn down Kaifeng Mansion, but also need to be vigilant about their next moves.

This is a huge obstacle and test for them and for the revival and implementation of the 'new law'.

And what made Han Zongdao and Cao Zheng dumbfounded was actually Cai Qu's script.

After Cai Qu's 'death', Kaifeng Mansion was burned, and the biggest responsibility for this is the leader of the Fa-changing faction-Zhang Dian.

It is foreseeable that tomorrow's attack by the government and the opposition on Zhang Dian will inevitably be like a tide, far exceeding the past!

Zhang Dian drank a few glasses, and suddenly spoke; "It's not a big deal, most of the things have to be recorded in the green tile house, it's just to sort it out again. Kaifeng Mansion once again summoned everyone, emphasizing that everything remains unchanged and will not be affected. ”

How is it possible not to be affected? This is just the beginning, and if it does, I don't know what will happen!

Han Zongdao couldn't help but glance at Cao Zheng, wondering in his heart, how could Zhang Dun, who had a hot temper, be so calm in the face of such a big matter?

Han Zongdao has worked with Zhang Tun, knowing that this person does not rub sand in his eyes, and it is at the critical moment of reviving the new law, how can Zhang Dian be so calm?

"What do you want to do?" Han Zongdao said solemnly.

Zhang Dian was just about to pour the wine, but he found that the wine was gone, and then he remembered the old wife who rarely quarreled with him, and suddenly put it down, stood up and said, "Quit drinking!" ”

After saying that, he didn't say anything more and went straight back to his room.

Han Zongdao wrinkled his eyebrows, looked at Zhang Dan's back, and pondered the meaning of the word 'quit drinking'.

Cao Zheng was puzzled, he had reached this juncture, why did Zhang Xianggong become 'gentle'?

Cao Zheng doesn't care about Zhang's temperament change now, he is thinking deeply about what to do next? Zhangdun said lightly, 'It's not a big deal,' but they don't know how much trouble they will have in practice.

Cao Zheng couldn't figure it out, looked at Han Zongdao, and said, "Han Xianggong, what does Zhang Xianggong mean?" ”

Han Zongdao shook his head, saw that Zhang Dian had already entered the room, and said in a deep voice: "No matter what he means, something big will definitely happen tomorrow, you better think about tomorrow." ”

Cao Zheng was horrified and alert, the burning of Kaifeng Mansion was actually a relatively small matter, and the key was to attack Zhang Dian - what if Zhang Dian couldn't hold on?

Cao Zheng's spine was cold, he didn't dare to think of such a picture, if Zhang Dian fell at this critical moment, it was likely to be a joint reaction, and the situation that had just been restructured might collapse!

The two looked at each other, didn't say anything more, and hurried away.

Tomorrow's affairs have to wait for dawn, and they have to take care of the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion as soon as possible.

At this time, the fire in Kaifeng Mansion was gradually brought under control, but it also burned down many houses around, and there was a lot of crying.

The officials of the Criminal Department surrounded Kaifeng City, inspected everywhere, and arrested more than 30 people in a short time, most of whom were idle beggars and the like.

At this time, Cai Bian left the Criminal Department, and walked around many mansions again, without covering, wearing official uniforms, sitting in a sedan chair, and the honor guard as the deputy minister was put out.

The heads of the six parts and three temples, none of them can sleep.

There was a fire in Kaifeng Mansion, and Cai Xianggong, who has always been low-key, put on a guard of honor late at night, which shows that the matter is not trivial.

Early the next morning, Zhao Xu turned over and continued to sleep with Liu Meiren in his arms.

Liu Meiren pushed coquettishly, and said in a greasy voice: "Official, let's get up, last time someone said that the concubine was flattering to ......."

Zhao Xu buried his head in Liu Meiren's chest and said in a muffled voice: "I didn't sleep well last night, let's sleep for a while." ”

Liu Meiren looked out the window, and said with a somewhat unsteady breath: "Official, it's dawn, there was such a big fire last night, the ministers outside the palace must be waiting......"

With such a big fire in Kaifeng Mansion last night, there must be a lot of people who came to ask for sin.

Zhao Xu had no choice, sighed, and had to reluctantly crawl out of Gentle Township.

Liu Meiren served Zhao Xu to get dressed, washed, and whispered on the side: "Official, the Empress Dowager has not been in good health recently, should the concubines go and see?" ”

Zhao Xu washed his face, wiped his hands, and said, "Well, you go with Xiaoniang, Xiaoniang likes you more." ”

Liu Meiren looked happy and said, "Yes, the concubine will go to see Niangniang later." ”

Zhao Xu smiled, pinched her face with his hand, and said, "I've been sensible recently, let's go." ”

Liu Meiren smiled shyly, saluted, and went out of the Funing Hall to the Qingshou Palace.

Zhao Xu went out refreshed and said loudly: "Hu Zhongwei, bow!" ”

Hu Zhongwei was on duty, and when he heard it, he was overjoyed, and he happily called his teammates.

Zhao Xu went down the steps, Chen Pi rushed over, Zhao Xu waved his hand directly, and said, "Let them watch it themselves." ”

Chen Pi paused and said, "Yes." ”

Zhao Xu and Hu Zhongwei waited for the guards to bow, and they had a lot of fun, but outside the arch hall, they were tight.

Su Song, Zhang Dan, Cai Bian, and Han Zongdao were all there, they were waiting for the order, listening to Zhao Xu let them 'watch and do' by themselves, and their expressions moved.

Su Song was silent for a while, and said, "Let's have a meeting and end these things as soon as possible." ”

The 'meeting' that Su Song said was not a meeting of the political affairs hall, but an enlarged meeting of the six ministries and three temples!

Regarding Cai Qu's 'Dead Advice Recital', about the burning of Kaifeng Mansion, the government and the opposition were surging, and the political affairs hall received more than 60 recitals early in the morning.

In addition to the 'old party', there are also a large number of 'new parties', Cai is indeed the biggest leader of the reform faction after Wang Anshi, and his influence far exceeds that of Zhang Dun.

Zhang Dian did not 'fully revive the new law', and similarly, did not fully 'revive the new party', Cai Qu, Zeng Bu and others were blocked out of the capital and did not recover, and they were still in exile, and there were more 'new parties' who were adrift.

As soon as Cai did die, his anger was suddenly ignited and he rose up.
