After a few days, General Xu dealt with the mutiny of the Wucai Army, pacified the other roads, and sent them away one after another.

Kaifeng City then lifted martial law, and various problems emerged again.

For example, the war with the Western Xia, such as the detention of the commander of the 'Sanya', such as the growing power of Zhang Dan, as if he controlled the entire imperial court.

As the initial tension passed and various arrangements were put in place one after another, Zhao Xu was not as solemn as before, and slowly returned to normal.

In the seventh year of Yuanyou, September 6th.

Early in the morning, Zhao Xu was bowing with the guards as usual, but without Zhao Ji's little bastard, he was replaced by the thirteenth brother Zhao Yi.

Zhao seems to have returned from Hebei Road, and after this trip, the little guy's face seems to be a little less immature and a little more resolute.

He was opposite Zhao Xu and was the only team with Hu Zhong.

Before he could kick for long, Hu Zhongwei quietly grabbed Zhao Yi and said in a low voice: "Your Highness Thirteen, don't take it too seriously." ”

Before he finished speaking, Zhao seemed to suddenly rush out and snatch the ball that came to Zhao Xu's feet.

Zhao Xu was accustomed to the original rhythm, and when he saw Zhao seem to suddenly grab the ball, he couldn't help but be stunned, and he didn't react.

As a result, Zhao seemed to win three games in a row.

After the halftime break, Hu Zhongwei glanced at Zhao Xu, who was wiping his sweat, and whispered to Zhao Xiang: "Your Highness the Thirteenth, we can't win the official family." ”

Zhao seemed to be drinking water, and when he heard it, he said, "Why? ”

Hu Zhongwei gestured his hand, and didn't know what to say, and said, "Anyway, you just can't win." ”

Zhao Ru turned his head to look at Zhao Xu, and then said quite loudly: "Keju is Keju, you can't let it." ”

Hu Zhongwei wanted to say that Zhao seemed to have already walked back to the court.

Zhao Xu wiped his sweat, threw the towel back, and looked at Zhao Yi, who was a little taller than Zhao Ji, with a smile in his eyes.

At the beginning of the second half, Zhao Ru took the lead and played back and forth with Zhao Xu, as long as Zhao Xu was not careful, the little guy could snatch the ball, and it was difficult for Zhao Xu to snatch it back.

Until the end of one game, Zhao Xu only won three games, and the other seven games were all won by Zhao Xiang.

Zhao Xu wiped his sweat, sat on the steps, looked at Zhao Ru and said with a smile: "Do you know? They usually don't dare to win me, and they don't let me quietly. ”

Hu Zhongwei waited and listened, and looked up at the sky.

Zhao seemed to take a sip of herbal tea and said with a puzzled expression: "Why?" ”

Seeing his ignorant and curious look, Zhao Xu tilted his head and said with a smile: "Haha, it's nothing." It's hard to go to Hebei Road, is there anything you want? ”

Zhao seemed to blink, seemed to be a little dazed, and suddenly said, "I want to make a beautiful dress for the tenth sister!" ”

Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "Well, don't worry, you're still young." Okay, you can go to Tong Guan later and ask him to help you. ”

Zhao seemed to be overjoyed, and his little face was full of longing.

Zhao Xu looked at him and smiled more.

Cining Temple.

Zhao Hao recovered a lot, and was already able to get out of bed and walk, walking slowly in the courtyard of Cining Palace.

Changshi has already retired from the Yellow Gate, the palace maid, and helped Zhao Hao and said: "The official family has captured the commander and deputy commander of the Sanya, and also assigned the Marquis of Du Yu of the Ma Military Division to General Xu, and the military department is currently temporarily taking all the powers of the Sanya......"

Zhao Hao listened, sighed lightly, and said: "Now almost all roads in the north have been disrupted, Huanqing Road and other five roads have been cleaned up by Zhang Qi, and the three yamen in Bianjing are useless, my eldest nephew, played a big game of chess......

Changshi's face was condensed, he supported Zhao Hao, and said in a low voice: "Suddenly, more than 20,000 people appeared, stationed in the north of the city, saying that it was to guard against the Xia people and go north to support at any time, but in fact, it was still to guard against Kaifeng City." There are those 25,000 people, plus Chu You's 20,000, a total of 45,000 people, in Kaifeng City, the official throne is stable, and the empress dowager is out of line......"

Zhao Hao walked slowly and said with emotion: "I knew that he had set up such a big game, so I didn't have to work so hard, and honestly went to Dali Temple to pretend to be dead......

Changshi also felt that Zhao Hao was too strong and the medicine he gave himself was too heavy, so he hesitated and said: "The king, the official family has arrested all the people of the 'Sanya', will the king be involved?" ”

Zhao Hao shook his head and said, "No, with the queen mother in front, my eldest nephew can't suspect me." By the way, how is the queen mother now? ”

Changshi's expression moved, and he said: "The action of the official restructuring is too big, and the people of Zhang Dian are chasing and beating Sima Guang, Lu Dafang and others, and they want to liquidate the courtiers from the beginning of Yuan Youchu to the present, and the Empress Dowager is very angry. ”

Zhao Hao nodded, sat down on a stone, carefully supported his waist, looked at the flowers in the garden, and said: "The law of Xining was abolished by the queen mother, and she is naturally unwilling." But my eldest nephew is now powerful, so let's wait. ”

Changshi didn't say much, and accompanied Zhao Hao to sit in the courtyard, walk, and recover his body.

Inside the government hall.

With the continuous return of the 'new party' and Zhao Xu's increasing control of the army, Zhang Dian became more and more confident, and all kinds of tricks were at his fingertips, and the 'old party' was gradually liquidated, while strengthening support for Huanqing Road, and on the other hand, taking the opportunity to intervene in the whole country to prepare for next year's reform.

Personnel cases and government decrees have been continuously formed in the Blue House, from the political affairs hall to the six ministries, and distributed to the whole country.

Inside the blue-tiled house, Zhang Dian is reviewing the transcript of the application for disaster relief on Hebei Lianglu.

Shen Qi hurriedly came in, raised his hand and said, "Xianggong Zhang, the envoy of the Xia people has arrived." ”

Zhang Dian didn't raise his head, and said: "Place it in Honglu Temple, in a few days, see which Shangshu is free, please go and see it." ”

It is impossible to negotiate peace, and it is even more impossible to accept the blackmail of the Xia people, and the Xia people also know that it is nothing more than delaying each other's time and probing each other's details.

Shen Qi responded and said, "Why don't you make some other arrangements?" ”

Zhang Tun continued to look at the notebook and said, "No. By the way, the river is about to recede, and the summer grain must be fully counted as soon as possible. Please Liang Shangshu of the household department and Wu Juhou, the waiter, come to the blue tile house. ”

Shen Qi said: "Yes, the next official will go." ”

Zhang Dian didn't wait for him to leave, turned his head to look at Cai Bian not far away, and said, "Cai Xianggong, you find an opportunity to send a letter to the various transfer divisions and order them to step up." ”

In the system of the Song Dynasty, the Transshipment Department was a very special institution, responsible for the collection and escort of money and grain, which was very important to the local government and the imperial court, and it was also very dependent.

Cai Bian thought about it and said, "I have already talked to Wu Juhou before, looking for an opportunity to carry out some reforms to the Transshipment Division. ”

Zhang Danjian's eyebrows moved, his expression was thoughtful, and he said, "Okay." ”

Zhang Dian was just about to turn his head, Cai Bian said: "The draft of Fang Tian's tax law has been sorted out, and it is ready to be discussed with the six departments and seven temples in the next two days, and after it is perfected, it will be submitted to the official imperial review." ”

Zhang Dian nodded and said: "This is the first law change order of the official family, it is to be cautious, expand the scope a little, and put forward any opinions, and suffer a loss." ”

Cai Bian frowned and said, "If it expands, I'm afraid it will attract a bunch of objections, and then they will destroy the new law with the right medicine......"

Zhang Duan snorted coldly and said: "At the beginning, the prince just valued their opinions too much, so he was restrained, and in the end, he failed, this time, I will not be soft!" ”

Cai Bian knew that Zhang Dian was a loyal follower of his father-in-law Wang Anshi, and he was also the most determined person to change the law, so he groaned for a while and said, "Okay, I'll do it." ”

The two didn't say anything more, these were all preparations, and the most important thing for them at the moment was to deal with the invasion of the Xia people.

Honglu Temple.

Honglu Temple is the main institution for receiving foreign envoys from Fanbang.

A team of men in fanfu stood in front of Honglu Temple, looking arrogant, looking up, looking at Fan Zuyu, the secretary of Dali Temple on the steps, and said: "What about your emperor, why don't you come to greet the envoy in person?" ”

Fan Zuyu clasped his hands in front of him, his expression was flat, and said: "Your envoy had better be careful when he speaks, it is a serious crime to be disrespectful to my emperor." ”

This man's name is Wei Ming Ashan, he looked at Fan Zuyu and sneered: "You Song people are extravagant, corrupt, and can't do anything, this set is a good learner!" Okay, if you don't come, don't come, I don't want to see him yet, come here, go and call me the best brands here, I want to see how smart the women of the Song people are......"

In the end, the name Ahsan was not obscene, but violent.

Fan Zuyu's face turned cold, and he said, "What are you doing?" ”

Wei Ming Ashan stepped forward and was about to enter the Honglu Temple, and said: "I have been here once before, and I am so happy, if you don't understand the hospitality of your Song people, go and ask your prime minister, they know." ”

As he spoke, he was about to push Fan Zuyu.

Fan Zuyu was caught off guard, and he stumbled and almost didn't fall.

The surrounding officials were startled, and hurriedly supported Fan Zuyu, these officials were angry and were just about to move, Fan Zuyu held it down, calmed his face, and said, "Don't move!" ”

Seeing Fan Zuyu's embarrassed appearance, he laughed and strode inside.

A group of Xixia people laughed and walked towards the Honglu Temple with their heads held high, as if the Honglu Temple was their territory and they were the masters.

The officials were angry, and one of them looked at Fan Zuyu and gritted his teeth and said, "Siqing, you can't let these people be so presumptuous!" ”

Fan Zuyu was full of anger, but he pressed it and said expressionlessly: "It's a matter of military affairs, you can't be so willful." Settle them down first, and I'll go see Xianggong Zhang. ”

The official suddenly said: "They still want those top cards, I heard last time that they tortured a lot of people!" ”

Fan Zuyu's eyes were indifferent, and he said in a low voice: "Don't scream!" Order someone to watch them, you go to Kaifeng Mansion to ask for someone, and I will enter the palace! ”

When the official heard this, he said excitedly: "Yes! ”

There are more than 20 officials in their Dali Temple, and there are more than 30 Xia envoys, and they are good at first sight.

Fan Zuyu called people over, arranged for a while, and hurried towards the palace.

In the Honglu Temple, Wei Ming Ashan kicked open the guest room one by one, looked at it casually, and shouted: "What kind of broken place, is this a human residence?" Who is that, Fan Zuyu? Come here! ”

He kicked open six or seven rooms in a row, and they were all very dissatisfied and shouted angrily.

But no one paid attention to them, and there was no shadow of half a Song person in the huge courtyard.

A Xixia man stepped forward and said angrily: "Your Highness, this Song people obviously look down on us, but they just showed their faces and ignored us completely!" ”

Wei Ming Ah Shan looked around coldly, a hideous meaning appeared on his face, and said, "Okay! Since the Song people dare to snub us so much, then we won't live in this Honglu Temple, let's go, let's find a place by ourselves! ”

The Xia people were overjoyed when they heard this, they all knew the prosperity of the Song Kingdom, and they had long wanted to see it.
