Zhang's serious face became indifferent, and he slowly turned his head and looked at the two official documents.

He didn't know what it was before he finished reading it, because it was no secret, as we all know, but many people didn't react for the time being.

Zhang Dan's eyes flashed sharply, his expression was resentful, and he said angrily: "Kill!" ”

Cai Bian knew that Zhang Dian was angry, groaned, and said, "I saw Su Xianggong early this morning, he should have guessed it." I don't know what his attitude will be, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that you and I will have to ask for exile. I'll let the yellow shoes out, and you let them stop. Let's talk to Su Xianggong again, send some people out of Beijing, and downplay this matter. ”

Zhang Dan's expression was stern, and he suppressed his anger in an instant, thought about it calmly, and said, "It's not that easy. ”

As soon as Zhang Dan's words fell, Su Song walked in.

Su Song looked at the two of them, and knew what they were talking about from their expressions, and said, "Now that you all know, do you want to continue fighting?" ”

Zhang Dan's face was ugly, he snorted coldly, and said, "You guys are doing dirty things, you can't even mention them now?" ”

The corners of Su Song's mouth moved, there was really no way to distinguish this matter, and the people involved at the beginning were almost all gone, he calmed his face and said, "I want to know what you want to do!" ”

Cai Bian pondered silently and looked at Zhang Dian.

If Zhang Dian refuses to give up, then they have no problem, they are really going to make trouble, and the outcome will be very unpredictable.

Zhang Dan's face was full of fierceness, he hated Sima Guang and the others to death in his heart, gritted his teeth, his face was blue, for a while, he suddenly became calm, stared at Su Song, and said coldly: "Su Xianggong, it's not me who is embarrassed by this matter, it's Your Majesty!" You better think about how to explain it to Your Majesty. If Your Majesty is angry, you may not be able to stand! ”

Seeing that Zhang Duan didn't tell the truth, Su Song took a secret breath, suppressed his boredom, leaned on crutches, and turned around to go to Funing Palace.

Zhang Dian is right, the focus of this matter is no longer on this case, but on the official family!

Cai Bian watched Su Song leave, his eyes were a little solemn, and he said, "You say, what will the official family do?" ”

Zhang Dian was furious and hateful in his heart, and he couldn't wait to pick up Sima Guang's grave now!

The corners of his face twitched, his eyes widened, and he said in a cold voice: "If Your Majesty is angry, I will bear all the notoriety and pull Sima Guang's disciples and grandchildren to leave a stench for 10,000 years!" ”

Cai Bian's body suddenly chilled, he knew that Zhang Dian really did it!

And at this time, the study of the Funing Palace.

Zhao Xu was looking at the file of the 'Dengzhou Ayun case', Chen Pi was not transferred from the political affairs hall, but from the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, Yushitai, etc.

At the beginning, this case was too big, and after such a long time, the file of the Three Law Divisions was far more adequate and detailed than that of the Political Affairs Hall.

Zhao Xu watched the case go back and forth, fighting back and forth, and shook his head secretly in his heart.

An ordinary case, not counting all the bigwigs in Shenzong Xiningchu, lasted for two years, more than ten years after Emperor Shenzong issued the edict, Sima Guang overturned the case again, arrested that Ayun, and sentenced him to hanging.

It is said that it is a dispute over the 'criminal law', but the essence cannot escape party disputes. It was after this 'Ayun case' that the 'New Party' was liquidated, and many people who supported Wang Anshi at the beginning were belittled and withdrew from the court.

Chen Pi stood on the side, talking about some things inside and outside the palace from time to time.

Zhao Xu nodded occasionally, and his eyes were on these case files.

The case is not complicated, and there is nothing particularly surprising about it. But the name of one of the individuals involved in it is really interesting, all of them are big names, and there are many biographies even in later generations.

Zhao Xu looked slowly, and when he saw the end, he was suddenly stunned, and his expression was a little stiff.

Finally, there is an edict, one of which is particularly eye-catching: those who ask the robber to surrender themselves do not need to be reduced.

That is to say, whether Ayun surrenders himself or not, it is a capital crime and cannot be commuted.

This overturned the verdict of the Shenzong Dynasty, Sima Guang and others opened the coffin more than ten years ago, and used this sentence to cover the coffin!

The reason why Zhao Xu was stunned was because in the end this was an edict, and that sentence came from this edict, and this edict was his!

There is an old but bright red seal on the edict, and he is the only one!

Zhao Xu looked at this edict, his expression was stunned, then his face was expressionless, and finally his face was gloomy, and anger surged in his chest!

This is Sima Guang pretending to use his hand to overturn the verdict of Emperor Shenzong and change the verdict to the 'Dengzhou Ayun case'.

At such a time when the law of etiquette is strict, 'rebelling against the father with the son' is a great rebellion!

He finally understood why Cai Bian dared to put Huang Lu under house arrest, and he didn't come to him to explain!

Cai Bian couldn't explain it at all, let alone say it!

If this edict is spread out, it will inevitably be an uproar!

After many years, even if Zhao Xu pushed Sima Guang and others, it would be difficult to convince the public! This edict, the 'Dengzhou Ayun case' will become a curse on the head of Zhao Xu and the Great Song Dynasty, and it hurts when you touch it!

Therefore, the best way is to close the case silently and no one will bring it up again in the future.

Chen Pi looked at Zhao Xu's ever-changing expression from the side, and felt very uneasy. Every time Zhao Xu has this expression, something big will happen later!

After a long time, Zhao Xu took a deep breath, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, suppressed his anger, and said lightly: "What do you say over there in the green tile house?" ”

Chen Pi didn't know what was going on inside, thought about it, bowed down and said, "Su Xianggong and Zhang Xianggong are back." Qingwa house, there seems to be some dispute, Su Xianggong should be coming soon. ”

Zhao Xu listened and continued to look at the case file.

In fact, as far as he is concerned, he is not interested in the big hats prescribed by Confucianism and etiquette, such as 'the son rebels against the father'. He was angry that when he was young and not in power, Sima Guang used his name to overturn the judgment of the Divine Sect, and only left him a seal!

It can be said that 'rebelling against the father with the son' was completely manipulated by Sima Guang, and it was still the 'seal' that deliberately left only him alone!

Not to mention that the edict needs to be subordinate, he is not in power, and legally it needs to be at least stamped with the seal of the Empress Dowager Gao to be effective!

But no!

Sima Guang, hateful!

A yellow door quietly walked to the door, bowed down and said, "Qi Qi Guan's family, Su Xianggong asks to see you." ”

Zhao Xu looked up at the door, his eyes were cold, and he suddenly said loudly: "Just say that I am uncomfortable, I don't see it." ”

Su Song stood not far from the door, listening to Zhao Xu's words, knowing that Zhao Xu had already seen it, and his heart was heavy.

Su Song didn't leave, just stood outside the door.

Seeing that he was not leaving, Zhao Xu snorted, walked straight out of the study, and strode away.

Su Song opened his mouth, but finally did not shout.

Inside the Cining Temple.

Empress Dowager Gao, who has been 'removing the curtain' for more than two months, may be light and light, and her improvement is much better than before.

At this time, with the support of Zhou He, he slowly enjoyed the flowers in the yard.

Zhou He is cautious and follows the same trend.

Empress Dowager Gao looked at it for a while, and said with a satisfied smile: "Without some wind and rain, you can't see such a scene." ”

Zhou He could hear that there was something in Empress Dowager Gao's words, and he remained silent, becoming more and more cautious in his heart.

The yellow gate behind them, the palace maid, was even more trembling, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe.

After a long time, Empress Dowager Gao looked in the direction of the political hall and said with a soft smile: "Zhang Dian has dug a big hole for himself, and now he can't advance or retreat." ”

Zhang Dan wanted to enter, that is, he deliberately slapped Zhao Xu, the emperor, in the face; Retreat, you may not be able to keep yourself!

Zhou He glanced at her quietly, and slowly lowered his head.

Empress Dowager Gao's face increased with joy, and she said, "Let's go, let's go to the back and have a look." ”

……

Yanwang Mansion.

At this moment, Zhao Hao was sitting on the small bridge, holding fish food, and was feeding the goldfish in the pond.

Next to him, there stood an old man, who seemed to be the long history of the house.

Zhao Hao sprinkled for a while, and suddenly said with emotion: "A heavy rain, I ran a lot, and there was only so much left." ”

The old man knew that this prince was not as submissive, timid and afraid as outsiders saw, so he stood respectfully, speculating on the meaning of his words.

Zhao Hao glanced at him and said, "It's going to be lively outside?" ”

Only then did the old man answer and say, "Yes." In any case, that case was also decided by the current official family, and those new law factions coaxed to overturn the case, but Shuo, Luo, and Shu parties opposed it, and completely dropped one by one, and the official family was afraid that it was out of ground. ”

Zhao Hao listened to it and found it funny, and couldn't help laughing.

The new party wants to overturn the case, and the old party is pressing; In fact, this case cannot be opened, and the most embarrassing thing when it is opened is undoubtedly the young official who has just taken over the government.

"I guess there are still some people who haven't reacted, you go and talk about it." Zhao Hao sprinkled fish food again and said with a smile.

The old man's face changed slightly, and he hesitated for a moment before answering, and turned to leave.

With the passage of time, more and more people reacted, and many people learned to write secret recitals for Zhao Xu, give advice, and deal with this matter.

For example, Cai Jing, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Zhao Xu didn't see Su Song, nor did he see Zhang Dian and Cai Bian, and went to the Qingshou Palace to accompany Concubine Zhu to dinner.

By the next day, the government and the opposition were getting more and more turbulent.

The situation suddenly turned one-sided, and the voice of the 'New Party' demanding that the case be overturned suddenly became smaller, but more people emerged and generously stated that they wanted to overturn the case for the 'Dengzhou Ayun case'.

The development of this matter is getting more and more bizarre. Zhang Dan, who should have been the most difficult, has not yet moved, but Su Song has moved frequently.

I met many 'old party' bigwigs one after another, including Fan Bailu, trying to suppress the chaos of the government and the opposition.

There were also a lot of moves on the side of the 'New Party', and Cai Bian summoned the heads of the six departments and seven temples again and again, and strongly demanded that the 'New Party' be patient and not move again.

This case cannot continue to be disputed and must be resolved as soon as possible.

Otherwise, when it comes to the level of the imperial court, the words 'rebelling against the father' of the official family are openly revealed, not only will the court have no face, but the official family will not be able to deal with itself.

However, the current situation in the court is extremely chaotic, especially because of the control of the water, many civil ministers and military officers in the Luzhou capital along the river will be transferred to Beijing, and people with ill intentions take the opportunity to muddy the waters, and the bigwigs of the 'old and new' parties cannot be suppressed, and the voice of 'overturning the case' is getting higher and higher, and there are already requests for Zhao Xu to open a court discussion.

At the beginning of August, good news came from the east and west roads of Hebei in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, most of the gaps have been blocked, and there are no heavy rains for some days, the situation is gradually stabilizing, and there should be no major floods this year.

Zhao Xu, who was in the Vertical Arch Palace, was naturally the happiest when he saw this joint recital of Zhao Xiang, Xu Jiang, Yang Wei and others, and hurriedly approved it, asking them not to take it lightly and continue to make persistent efforts.

Chen Pi was on the side, seeing that Zhao Xu's mood had improved for many days, he hurriedly said: "Official, the stagnant water in the city has basically been drained away, and the street has almost recovered, do you want to go out for a walk?" I heard that Fan Lou has a few dishes recently. ”

"Oh?"

Zhao Xu's face showed interest, then he stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go, go out for a walk." By the way, call Fan Bailu, and Xie Lin, let him come along. ”
