When Zhao Xu hugged Queen Meng to sleep in his arms, Huang Lu, who was at home, then received a letter from Zhang Dan.

Huang Lu looked at the content of Zhang Dan's letter, pondered for a moment, threw down his chopsticks, and got up directly and said, "Go to the Yamen." ”

When Mrs. Huang heard this, she hurriedly said, "Bring more people." You say, what are you doing in such a hurry this morning, and you don't think the road is chaotic enough? ”

Huang Lu didn't listen to her at all, thinking about the content of Zhang Dan's letter, thinking about how to persuade the former 'New Party' boss, and now the prisoner.

As soon as Huang Lu came out of the mansion, he didn't know where a few scholars appeared, and he rushed over and shouted: "Traitor, let Zeng Xianggong go!" ”

"Tend to be inflammatory, Yin Xianzhang thief, you can't die well!"

"Heavenly Dao cycle, retribution is not happy, what you do today, there will be retribution tomorrow!"

Huang Lu stood in front of the carriage, looked at several people, recognized one of them, and sneered: "This official remembers you? Your father was a Jinshi in Xining for six years, and now his family has millions of dollars and thousands of hectares of fertile land, how did he save such a big family business with his wealth? You say that retribution is not happy, has your family's retribution arrived? ”

The man in his early thirties suddenly turned red, rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward, and said angrily: "Traitor, I will fight with you!" ”

A group of people thought that Huang Lu would dare to talk back, and they were furious, and they were about to step forward and beat Huang Lu with their fists.

Huang Lu Shi Ran entered the carriage, and the officials of Kaifeng Mansion, who had been staring at him all around, quickly rushed over to block a few people.

"Dog thief! Traitor! The whole world is looking at you, and you will not die well! ”

Huang Lu listened to the scolding behind him, his eyes were cold, and he said angrily: "Is the national fortune of my Great Song Dynasty in the hands of such a group of people?" ”

The driver in front of him didn't seem to hear it, and drove cautiously and cautiously.

When Huang Lu arrived at the Yushitai, there was a letter that reached Zeng Bu in prison.

Zeng Bu was wearing a prison uniform, but he was very clean, and his hair was a little scattered, which could hardly hide his elegant temperament.

He sat on the edge of the bed, squinting his little eyes, looking at Zeng Bu's letter.

The content of this letter is very short, only about 20 words: The public has forgotten his original intention, why can't he go to the stack? Past experience, if not forgotten, is a guide for the future..

Zeng Bu watched quietly, at their level, they would not speak directly, and they had hidden their true intentions between their teeth, and they needed to figure it out with their hearts.

It didn't take long for Zeng Bu to understand.

The more than 20 words of Zhang Duan seem to be weak and weak, but in fact, they clearly tell Zeng Bu: You shouldn't come.

Zeng Bu's expression was calm, looking at Zhang Dian's letter, and he was thinking about the entire court situation in his heart.

He carefully deduced everything before and after Zhao Xu's pro-government to the present, and came to a conclusion: Today's officials are extremely smart, their methods are sharp and decisive, and they have shown themselves vividly in the process of fighting for power with Empress Dowager Gao.

But after the pro-government, this young official was sharp, carefully restructured, and balanced the situation. His sharpness is shown in the implementation of the 'new law'.

The severity of the implementation of the 'new law' far exceeded that of the pre-emperors, thoroughly, firmly, and brutally, at all costs!

Such an action requires a stable situation, so the balance of the political hall is extremely important!

The young official will never allow the 'New Party' to monopolize the imperial court, because not only will the situation of the court and the world be unbalanced, and there will be great turmoil, which will not be conducive to the implementation of the 'New Law', and will also damage his authority!

This is also Zeng Bu's biggest reliance on daring to return to Beijing!

Han Zongdao has gone, and Su Song is isolated in the political affairs hall, and he urgently needs to have a new governor to balance Zhang Dian and Cai Bian!

This is his chance!

Zeng Bu thought very thoroughly, so he put Zhang Dan's letter on the table casually, and put his hands on his stomach to pretend to sleep.

At this time, Huang Lu came.

When the official opened the door, he went straight in, sat down in a chair, and sat down opposite Zeng Bu.

Zeng Bu opened his eyes and looked at him, his tone was still so weak, calm and slow, and said, "Zhang Dian asked you to come?" ”

Huang Lu was expressionless, and said bluntly: "There are two ways, first, according to the law, you will be removed from office and dismissed, and you will be sentenced to prison." Second, you will confess your guilt in a letter and return to your hometown, and you must not say a word about the DPRK situation in the future. ”

"Salute before soldiers?"

Zeng Bu looked at Huang Lu, his tone was a little faster, and said: "Zhang Dan's temper, shouldn't it be like this, is he feeling the pressure of the official family and wants me to take the initiative to go?" ”

Huang Lu's eyes changed suddenly, did the official family intervene? How did he not know?

Zeng Bu looked at Huang Lu's sudden expression, and thought that he was right, and he was disdainful in his heart, is Zhang Dian just using this method?

He closed his eyes slightly, ignored Huang Xu, and continued to pretend to sleep.

Huang Lu quickly returned to normal, pondering the possibility of Zhao Xu interfering, and said quietly: "Zeng Xianggong, it's best to think clearly, Lu Dafang and others have learned from the past. ”

Zeng Bu immediately thought of Zhang Dan's sentence 'the past does not forget the teacher of the future', but there was no reaction.

Huang Lu saw that Zeng Bu was stubborn, and said more directly: "If Zeng Xianggong refuses to protect himself, he will retreat." The Imperial Historical Observatory will finalize the case within three days, and ask Zeng Xianggong to return to his hometown. ”

Zeng Bu still didn't react, this was his last fight, how could he give up halfway!

"Asking for hardship!" Huang Lu snorted coldly, slapped the table and got up to leave.

Zeng Bu was indifferent, as if he was really asleep.

He summoned a meeting of the people of the Imperial Observatory to prepare to dispose of Zengbu.

On the other side, the Imperial City Division had another thing that caught Cai You off guard.

Huo Xu stood in front of Cai You, respectfully. If you look closely at his words, you will see that his hands tremble slightly.

Cai You's eyes stared at him like poisonous snakes, and said, "Are you sure?" Confirmed? ”

Huo Xu didn't dare to be careless, and said in a deep voice: "Several ministers in the political hall have 'selected materials' in front of the official family for several people in the current science and office, and what Su Xianggong wants is this Zhao Tan, and his subordinates dare not lie!" ”

Cai You also knew in his heart that such a big thing could be verified with a little checking, and Huo Xu would never dare to deceive him.

He was really surprised, very surprised!

First of all, this Zhao Tan boldly ascended the throne on his own, and even set the era name, and it actually involved the ruling of the dynasty!

If this spreads, I am afraid that everyone in the world will be shocked!

Zhangdun, what will be the reaction of the officials? I'm afraid I'm more suspicious than him, right?

Cai You thought about it and said, "Report it to the palace first, and see what the palace says." ”

Huo Xu remembered Zhang Dan's letter at this time, and said, "Commander, Zhang Xianggong's side, but I want you to see Su Xianggong today." ”

Cai You sneered and said, "I obey the official family, Zhang Dian really thinks that the Imperial City Division is under his control!" ”

Huo Xu's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't dare to say more.

Soon, Cai You packed up his things, came to the palace, and met Chen Pi.

This is the tangerine peel room, not big or small, very simple, without any luxury.

Cai You has been here many times, and for this Chen Daguan, he actually doesn't think much of it in his heart, and said with an unmoved face: "Daguan, the lower official investigated the case of proverbs, and Shun Teng found so much, and it has been investigated very clearly, and it has been verified." I don't know, when will I be able to face the saint? ”

Chen Pi was looking at the things Cai You brought, and his face was very strange.

A scholar established himself as an emperor, and he also had an era name, and he was involved in being the ruler of the dynasty, which was like a dream!

Chen Pi glanced at Cai You, knowing that this person definitely didn't dare to deceive him, and after thinking about it, he said, "The official family is taking a break, you go to see Cai Xianggong." Regarding Zhao Tan's matter, press it down first and wait for the holy will. ”

Cai You hesitated and said, "Big official, such a big thing, don't you wake up the official family?" ”

Chen Pi suddenly looked at it coldly.

Although Cai You looked down on Chen Pi, he knew his terrifying influence and ability, so he hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Xia Guan understands, Xia Guan retires." ”

Chen Pi looked at his back with an indifferent expression.

He knew that Cai You wanted to ask for credit, so he deliberately stopped it.

Chen Pi hates this person, very hateful! Disloyalty, unfilial piety, unkindness, young age, a dirty belly!

Chen Pi sat for a while, looked at the contents of the box, picked it up, and walked to the Renming Palace.

Inmyeongjeon is the palace of the Imperial Palace.

Zhao Xu couldn't fall asleep, and got up after a short nap. Lately, he has been sleeping very little, waking up after two hours of sleep, and then being haunted by a lot of things, and it is difficult to fall asleep.

He was in the Renming Palace, chatting with Empress Meng while flipping through the songs.

Empress Meng was embroidering a small belly pocket in her hand, and chatted casually with Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu said: "Mu Gu's examination papers, Li Shangshu and others have seen them, and they have the strength to enter the second grade. I heard that he is going to Yongqiu County to be a staff member? ”

Mugu, the word of Meng Tang.

Staff, this is an unspoken rule, that is, to temporarily help an official to do things, mix up qualifications and money, wait for the right opportunity, participate in the examination, and at the same time strive for others to recommend to the imperial court.

In the imperial court, there is no such official position as a 'staff'.

For her only younger brother, Empress Meng was still very concerned, looked up at Zhao Xu, and said with a smile: "He has been very calm recently, and the concubines don't want him to have much interest, just be safe." ”

Empress Meng participated in many battles in the imperial court at a young age, and struggled to survive in the cracks, so she didn't want her younger brother to be affected and end miserably.

Queen Meng in history really didn't have a good life in the palace. Instead, she was kicked out of the palace and stayed peacefully in the Taoist temple for twenty years, but in the end, she went south in the iron hooves of the Jin people, tossed and turned, and showed her last glory in Hangzhou, and ended up desolate.

Zhao Xu said: "There will be Enke next year, if he passes the exam, I will transfer him to the Qingwa house, and let a few ministers train him well, and he will have a great future in the future." ”

Empress Meng pursed her lips and did not make a sound.

Their family was deeply wounded by the 'Hou Party' brand, and was rejected by the 'New Party' such as Zhang Dian and Cai Bian, and it was a great luck that they did not attack, and it was almost impossible to expect them to train Meng Tang.

Zhao Xu could guess her thoughts even if he didn't look at Empress Meng's expression, and said with a smile: "Your ministers are not so narrow-minded, besides, isn't there still me?" ”

Empress Meng smiled, suddenly frowned again, looked up at Zhao Xu, and said softly: "Official, the imperial doctor said that the empress dowager is not in good health. ”

The smile on Zhao Xu's face gradually converged, and he nodded slightly.

Empress Dowager Gao has been asleep for two days and has not woken up, although the imperial doctor said that there is no big problem, but everyone knows that people who are almost seventy years old may not be able to survive the summer if they survive the spring.

"At noon, let's go with me." Zhao Xu said.

Seeing Zhao Xu's calm expression, Empress Meng was secretly relieved and said, "Yes." ”

As Zhao Xu's queen, she has always been very aware of Empress Dowager Gao's oppression of Zhao Xu.

In order to control Zhao Xu, not only did he arrange so many women, but the palace maids and attendants of the Funing Palace reported everything in detail, and once ordered Zhao Xu to move to the Cining Palace, and the Empress Dowager Gao slept in the pavilion outside the palace, and the surveillance was unprecedented.

Zhao Xu flipped through the notebook in his hand, took another one, and said, "In a few days, you will summon the nobles in the capital to come to Renming Hall to talk, appease them, and give a few orders." ”

Empress Meng lowered her head and embroidered her belly pocket and said, "Yes." ”

Zhao Xu glanced at the child's belly pocket, and then at Queen Meng's belly that had not yet bulged, and smiled, he was also looking forward to his first child.

At this time, Chen Pi appeared at the door, bowed and stood, still holding a box in his hand.

Zhao Xu glanced at it and said, "What's the matter?" Didn't you say it's okay not to bother me? ”

Chen Pi hurriedly came in, first saluted Queen Meng silently, and then came to Zhao Xu's side, handed over the box, and said in a low voice: "Official, the Imperial City Division just sent it, the villain was startled and didn't dare to delay." ”

Empress Meng looked at it, got up and said, "Official, the concubine goes inside." ”

Zhao Xu hummed and opened the box.

Zhao Xu looked at it slowly, and it didn't take long for his expression to become exciting.

Is this the person who ascended the throne and became the emperor and established his own era name?

Zhao Xu felt very dreamy, looked up at Chen Pi, his expression was not angry, but strange, and said, "Are they all so bold now?" Anyone else doing that? ”

Chen Pi was very nervous in his heart, secretly pondering the wording, and said: "Official, this Zhao Tan is a naturalized bureaucrat and does not know how to educate, this is the first time." ”

Zhao Xu looked at his expression, not knowing whether to believe it or not.

The current Great Song Dynasty, even without his strong promotion of the 'new law', the 'old and new' parties have been in chaos for decades, and the following 'uprisings' have come and gone, and they have never stopped.

Zhao Xu looked at it again, was silent for a while, and said lightly: "Return these things to Cai You and let him give them to Su Xianggong." ”

Chen Pi didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

He sighed lightly in his heart, Su Xianggong, made a wrong choice.

If he hadn't made any deal with Zeng Bu, he might have been able to stay until the end of the year and retire with dignity.

One drink and one peck, it is really a fixed number, and it is difficult for manpower to resist.

Blue tile house.

Cai You took back the box he had sent, with some confusion on his face.

Such a big thing, the official family came back as it was? Didn't he order him to search for him, torture him, and ask the culprit behind the scenes?

Or, take the opportunity to send Su Song to prison and chase after the remnants of the 'old party'?

Cai Bian already knew what had happened, nodded secretly, looked at Cai You and said, "Go ahead." ”

Cai You was stunned, his status was a little low, and he couldn't figure out the twists and turns in it, so he said with a gesture of inquiry: "Second uncle, I don't understand this matter very well." ”

Cai Bian was sitting at the desk and said lightly: "You will know soon." ”

Cai You looked at this second uncle, his expression moved, he didn't ask, raised his hand and left.

Cai Bian listened to the footsteps and sighed faintly.

Until now, he can't believe that it was Cai You who betrayed Cai Jing.

Father and son cannibalism, what a cruel and unbelievable thing!

Sioux House.

As Zeng Bu was taken away by Yushitai, Su Song never went out after entering the palace once.

In Su's house, Mrs. Su and a few little ladies shouted at each courtyard to clean up things.

"This, these, all with you, all with ......"

"Is the carriage ready? Five? Five is not enough, at least ten ......"

"I don't want any of these things, let people sell them, yes, they all sell them......"

"Cash? Cash, hide it all and slowly transport it back......"

"Be careful, this is the eldest prince's favorite porcelain......"

Inside and outside the Su Mansion, it is busy.

Su Song already knew that he would stay for a short time and was ready to leave Beijing.

Cai You appeared alone in front of the gate of the Su Mansion, dressed in simple clothes, in a busy situation, no one noticed him, so he walked straight to the door and walked in.

Cai You looked at the Su family's large boxes of antique calligraphy and paintings, silk and satin, as well as the spilled cash, all kinds of precious tables, chairs and benches, and his expression was not surprised.

"It's still a little worse than my Cai family." Cai You muttered to himself.

Su Song Huan Hai has been in the sea for nearly 50 years, and this family property is far less than that of the Cai family, which has been an official eunuch for generations, and besides, Cai Jing is still a master of financial management.

Cai You walked straight towards Su Song's courtyard, he had only come more than once, and he was also familiar with the road.
