Pei Yin shook his head and said, "I don't know, there should be something happy about it." ”

Ji Shu didn't know why, so he could only watch Zhang Dian swim around in the river.

Not long after, a small official stepped forward and whispered behind Pei Yin: "Pei Sheren, the flying pigeon in the capital is passing the book." ”

Pei Yin took it, and suddenly said, "How many letters is this?" ”

The little official said: "The fifth letter, two from the palace, one from the Criminal Department, and one from the Yushitai, this is still from the Yushitai." ”

Pei Yin vaguely felt that something big had happened in the capital, waved his hand to the little official, and spread out the roll paper.

This is still from the Imperial History Tower, and the handwritten letter of Cheng Huang Lu in the Imperial History is concise and to the point: Bian wants to commit a serious crime, and he can't stop it, and he looks forward to it.

Pei Yin immediately thought of who this 'cloth' was referring to, and his expression was suddenly solemn.

Zengbu!

Cai Bian wants to commit a felony against Zeng Bu? Why is that?

Pei Yin couldn't think through, and looked up at Zhang Dun, who had already gone ashore and was wiping his body.

Zhang changed his clothes and wore his hair loose.

In the past, there was a cover-up, but now there are many gray hairs in his hair, and he has a dignified face, walks over, combs his hair, and says, "There is a letter from Jingli?" ”

Pei Yin unfolded the letter in front of Zhang Dan's face and said, "Yes, Xianggong, things have changed again." Cai Xianggong didn't know why, and suddenly shot at Zeng Xianggong and wanted to commit a felony. ”

Zhang Dian glanced at it, continued to tie his hair, and said: "The flying pigeon biography is not clear, wait a minute, someone from Jingli should come soon." ”

Pei Yin could guess, glanced at the direction of the capital, and said: "Xianggong, Cai Xianggong is a person who has always known the importance and is measured, how could he suddenly detain Zeng Xianggong?" He should know the consequences, should we go back to Beijing early? ”

Zhang Dian simply tied his hair, and also turned to look in the direction of the capital, his face gradually returned to a stern color, and he said lightly after a moment: "It's not a big deal, according to the plan, continue to go." ”

Pei Yin looked at Zhang Dan's expression, his heart was secretly tight, and he raised his hand in response.

Ji Shu has been standing aside, I don't know if it's a bystander, he always feels that when the situation reaches this time, there may be a big change!

Zhang's team stayed in Dongming County until the evening, and then set off for the east to Kaocheng.

As Zhang Dian expected, he was 'intercepted' on the way, first the people of the Ministry of Officials, then the Ministry of Punishment, then the Imperial Historical Observatory, and even the Imperial City Division.

By noon the next day, Cai Bian's protégé, Zhou Wentai, was also 'intercepted'.

It took so much time for Zhang Dian to figure things out.

Standing under the shed of a teahouse, Zhang Duan drank tea, looked at Zhou Wentai, and said with a smile: "You, I know, loyal and filial piety, rather than bend, act with a beginning and an end, square and atmospheric, it is really good, Cai Yuandu has a good eye." ”

Yuan Du, Cai Bian's word.

Zhou Wentai was neither humble nor arrogant, leaned over and said: "The lower officials dare not be so praised as the prime minister." ”

The smile on Zhang Dan's face retracted a little, but he still didn't look as stern as before, and said, "What do you think I should do?" ”

Zhou Wentai knew that it was a test, but he still said without hesitation: "Xiaguan hopes that Zhang Xianggong will support Cai Xianggong, although this matter may lead to some turmoil, but it is urgent to identify the 'new law' loyalty and traitor, and you can't repeat the old path in the Xining period, please think twice." ”

Zhang Dan's expression did not move, and he said: "Cai Yuandu's ability and vision are no problem, but the means are still too straightforward. ”

'Straightforward' describes a person's means, and that is a deprecating word.

Zhou Wentai's expression was unmoved, and he slandered in his heart, if he talked about 'straightforwardness', is the entire Great Song Dynasty comparable to yours?

Even if Zhou Wentai didn't say it, Zhang Duan could guess what he was thinking, took a sip of tea, and said, "Go back and tell Cai Yuandu, I'll take care of the aftermath for him." But the fifteen governors have to be chosen by me. ”

At present, there are only three people in the political hall, Su Song, Zhang Dian, Cai Bian, Su Song is actually not far away, and he can't intervene, only Cai Bian can fight with him.

Zhou Wentai thought for a moment and said, "This subordinate can't be the master. ”

Zhang Dian said: "He will agree, go back." ”

Zhou Wentai didn't reach that level, he didn't know the specific meaning of Zhang Dan's words, and seeing that Zhang Duan did not object to Zeng Bu's matter, he had quietly breathed a sigh of relief, got up and raised his hand and said: "Xie Zhang, the next official will retire." ”

Zhang Dan saw him leave, carefully scrutinized, and said loudly: "Bring the pen." ”

Pei Yin has been standing aside, listening and going to prepare.

Zhang Dian and the others laid out the paper, picked up the pen, paused, and began to write.

The first letter was addressed to Zhao Xu, showing the results of his inspection and new thinking during this time.

The second letter was actually a greeting to the Empress Dowager's condition.

The third letter is for the Imperial Historical Observatory.

The fourth letter is for the Imperial City Division.

The fifth letter is for Zeng Bu.

Pei Yin watched quietly from the side, with a lot of doubts.

Zhang Dian actually greeted the Empress Dowager's illness, even if it was 'courteous'? And the Imperial City Division, Zeng Bu, what are these purposes?

Pei Yin was puzzled, but didn't ask.

A stream of carrier pigeons flew into the capital from here.

In the capital, as everyone expected, because of Zeng Bu's incident, it began to be lively.

There are those who stand by coldly on the sidelines, and there are countless people who take advantage of the opportunity to stoke the fire.

The split within the 'New Party' intensified, and various controversies arose one after another, led by the Rokubu and the Three Temples, and then the scholars of Taigaku and Jinke joined in one after another.

The impeachment of Cai Bian, the defense of Zeng Bu, and the increase in the number of transcripts calling for the increase of the political affairs hall ministers.

Cai Bian didn't care about it, and it seemed that he wanted to force the six ministries and continue to push forward the disposal of Zeng Bu.

In the imperial history, Huang Lu's life suddenly became difficult, some people who had dealings with Zeng Bu and the Zeng family came to the door one after another, many of them were highly respected people, Huang Lu had to see, and he had to hold the disciple ceremony.

Su Shi and others, who were originally going to travel south, couldn't sit still, and came to the door one after another to defend Zeng Bu.

Zeng Bu is not only his own influence, his brother Zeng Gong is a generation of everyone, and he is also Ouyang Xiu's protégé, Su Shi and others are deeply favored by Ouyang Xiu, so they can't sit idly by.

Even, some noble ministers have come forward.

Complex relationships such as in-laws, mentors and apprentices, relatives and friends, classmates and fellow villagers, are wildly displayed at this time, and it seems that they are especially obvious in the big shots.

The carriage in which Huang Lu returned home was even 'attacked', and all kinds of insults accompanied the carriage, rotten eggs, and stones.

In the end, it was the officials of Kaifeng Mansion who came to escort him, and he reluctantly returned home.

Night.

Zhao Xu looked at these various scripts and just smiled.

As the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, he became more and more detached, trying his best to get out of the battles inside and outside the court, and gradually playing the role of a kind of 'ruling in the play'.

Of course, the people inside actually know that the current major policies, the government program, and the 'new law' line all come from his handwriting.
