For the restructuring of the army, the Privy Council and the Ministry of War have long considered the overall situation, and Zhang Kai's adjustment of the northern roads is also a secret arrangement.

Coupled with the deployment during this time, it is basically fully prepared, and it should not be too difficult to restructure.

Zhao Xu pondered in his heart, especially the army near Kaifeng Mansion, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "What do the Xia people say?" ”

Zhang Qi said: "The Xia people are unwilling to be defeated, and they retreat after a few temptations, and they are still facing each other in Saimen. The Xia people also sent people to Huanzhou, probably because they wanted to exchange Lanzhou for Saimen. ”

Zhao Xu snorted and said, "They are delusional!" ”

Saimen guards the main road, the Xia people occupy it, and they can attack and retreat to defend; Da Song's side is occupied, so the offense and defense are switched, such a fortress, how can it be returned when you get it, Zhao Xu is not Sima Guang!

Zhang Qi didn't speak, he also meant that.

Zhao Xu looked at the two of them and said, "Hang them first." In addition, I plan to send the Yellow Gate in the palace in various armies, what do you think? ”

Zhang Qi and Xu Jiang all frowned, the purpose of the dispatch to the Yellow Gate is self-evident, but the problems brought by it are worth pondering.

After a long time, Xu Jiang and Zhang Qi glanced at each other, and Xu Jiang raised his hand and said: "Official, stationed in Huangmen, it is illegal, please think twice." ”

It's just a slight excuse.

Zhao Xu kept watching the expressions of the two, and said with a smile: "Then let it go first." ”

Xu Jiang, Zhang Ji was relieved, if the official family insisted, they would have no way to refuse, but fortunately, the official family did not force it.

Zhao Xu was only tentative, and then said: "The army must select elite soldiers and strong generals, and it must not be indiscriminately filled, and the support for the army must be all-round." In addition to weapons, armor, money and food, there must also be institutional and sustainable ones. In terms of system, you are under construction, and we must further refine it and promulgate it next year. Continuity, I am talking about the training of soldiers and generals. In addition to the promotion of military merits, I am also considering setting up a martial arts academy to train military generals. ”

Xu Jiang pondered carefully and said: "The official family is far-sighted, and the minister agrees." ”

Zhang Qizi had no objection and said: "The minister suggested that two houses be set up to be selected from the current candidates and the new science and technology scholars. ”

Zhao Xu said: "The scope will be expanded a little more, and young people across the country will be allowed to apply for the examination, as long as the conditions are qualified, there is no need to be confined to fame." ”

General Xu thought for a while and said, "Official, are these two courts affiliated with the Ministry of War?" ”

"Privy Council." Zhao Xu said.

Xu Jiang was stunned, but it was right. However, he immediately thought about it and said, "The official family, is the government hall also going to establish a literary academy?" ”

Zhao Xu was just about to speak, when a yellow door suddenly came in through the side door with a notebook and whispered a few words in Chen Pi's ear.

Chen Pi's face changed slightly, he waved back the yellow door, turned around and walked towards Zhao Xu, glanced at Zhang Qi, Xu Jiang, and stopped talking.

Zhao Xu understood what he meant, waved his hand, and said, "There are no outsiders, just say it." ”

Xu Jiang and Zhang Qi also looked at Chen Pi and did not retire and leave.

Chen Pi still hesitated and said, "Official, this is Cai Xianggong's recital." ”

Zhao Xu stretched out his hand to take it and said casually: "What did he write?" ”

Chen Pi hesitated again, looked at Zhang Ji again, Xu Jiang, and said slowly: "Cai Xianggong, he died of illness." ”

Xu Jiang, Zhang Qi's face changed suddenly.

Cai has been trying to return to Beijing recently, and there are many means, why did he suddenly die of illness?

So, this recital is his deathbed recital?

Xu Jiang and Zhang Qi both stared at this script, and they couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Zhao Xu also twisted his eyebrows and opened it to look.

Zhao Xu glanced at it a few times, and the more wrinkles his eyes became. In this recital, it is full of attacks on Zhangdun and a great refutation of the 'new law', and anger is full of words.

After reading it, Zhao Xu put the recital on the table with a thoughtful face.

Cai was indeed the ruler after Xining, the most important presiding officer of the reform after Wang Anshi, and was swept out of the court by the 'old party' at the beginning of Yuan You.

His influence on the 'New Party' far exceeded that of Wang Anshi's sons-in-law, Cai Bian and Zhang Dian. He is now dead, and on his deathbed he has made such a note. Not to mention that the 'old party' will inevitably take advantage of this to make great waves, the 'new party' will certainly not give up.

Zhang Dian was selective about the revival of the 'New Party', not only Cai Qu and Zeng Bu were blocked from the imperial court, but also many people were still in exile and were not recalled.

There are many people who are dissatisfied with Zhang Dian, and once Cai Qu's recital is made public, it will inevitably be an uproar.

Zhao Xu thought for a while, looked at Zhang Qi and Xu Jiang, and said lightly: "It's the opinion of Zhang Xianggong and the 'new law'." ”

Xu Jiang vaguely guessed, pondered for a while, and said, "Official, I'm afraid I can't hide it." ”

Cai has indeed passed away, and no one will know about his recital, or it has already been spread, and there is no way to hide it.

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, handed the notebook to Chen Pi, and said, "Go and give it to Qingwafang." ”

Xu Jiang and Zhang Qi both understood this meaning and did not speak.

This matter is aimed at Zhangduan, and Zhangdun has to deal with it.

Zhao Xu quickly put aside this matter, and continued to discuss the reform of the military system with Zhang Qi and Xu.

In addition to the imminent reforms in the north, there are also arrangements for the south, and the Privy Council and the Ministry of War have too much to do.

Cai Bian received the transcript sent by Chen Pi, and after reading it, he looked at Zhang Dian and said, "A wave of unevenness has risen again and again." ”

Zhang Dian had already finished reading it, his sword eyebrows were upside down, and his face was full of coldness.

In the eyes of the 'old party,' he is now a demon-like existence and a traitor; in the eyes of the 'new party,' he is also very controversial, and the 'new party' is full of mountains, and Zhang Dian is unwilling to recruit such a big man to return to Beijing, so naturally there are countless criticisms.

In particular, the 'new law' has not been fully revived, which has disappointed too many 'new parties', and the dissatisfaction with Zhang Dian will naturally be even more.

Now, Cai is indeed dead, and before he died, he also put on a copy of the impeachment of Zhang Dan, but I am afraid that the government and the opposition will attack Zhang Dan and cry out for a tsunami.

Cai Bian looked at Zhang Dian and said, "What do you think?" ”

Zhang Dun snorted coldly and said, "What's so difficult." No one can stop the revival of the new law, Lu Dafang and others can't, Cai really can't, and I can't either! ”

Cai Bian's expression was slightly condensed, and he said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Zhang Dun took a blank recital and said, "Write a recital for the sin." ”

Cai Bian looked startled, then nodded slightly, and said, "This is a good way." ”

This is a method of retreating as advance, and Zhang Dian wrote a letter to ask for guilt, and according to the usual practice, the official family must be retained, and once this comes and goes, there is an excuse to stay. If we continue to attack, there will be less 'justice'.

Zhang Dian wrote, his waist was straight, and his pen was like flying, and he said: "After the end of the court break, two 'new laws' will be announced, the first one, the Fangtian Average Tax Law, and the second is the Kaoquan Law. On the Kaifeng Mansion, you have to keep an eye on them and put enough pressure on them. Except for Kaifeng Mansion, the others are all our people, you explain Cao Zheng well, you must start quickly, and come up with speed and efficiency. All the tasks and responsibilities, the progress requirements, to them clearly, anyone who dares to cheat, perfunctory, will be severely punished! ”

Cai Bian listened, also picked up the pen, and was about to write, when he suddenly looked at Zhang Dian again, and said, "Isn't it time to collect it?" ”

Zhang Dian knew that Cai Bian was talking about the arrest of Wang Cun, Yang Hui, Zhao Hao, Meng Yuan and others, and now it is called a 'reverse case' outside.

Zhang Dun had already finished writing, looked at it carefully, and said, "I'll call the Criminal Department, the Imperial Historical Tower, and the Imperial City Division over later, and ask them to stop." These cases are closed before the end of the day of the pilgrimage. ”

After the end of the court vacation, the new law will be restored, and Zhang Dian will not allow these things to continue to stumble his feet.

Cai Bian took the pen and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Zhang Dian blew the recital and said: "The responsibility for the crime is heavy, and he will be sentenced to death or sent to the border, and he will be dismissed from official positions and sent to hard labor." Minor ones will be sent to Lingnan. ”

Cai Bian frowned, the Imperial City Division, the Criminal Department, and the Imperial History Observatory have arrested at least a thousand people, do you really want to deal with so many people in one go?

Zhang Dian naturally knew Cai Bian's 'weak' character, and added a sentence, "It's not them, it's the family." There are only 1,000 people, and the confiscated family property is comparable to a year's treasury income, and they eat too much. ”

Cai Bian sighed in his heart, what is the situation in the Great Song Dynasty, they all know each other, there is no obstruction, just about to put down the pen, suddenly remembered something, and said: "The cash, all sent to the inner treasury?" ”

Zhangdun put together the notebook, handed it to a scribe, and explained: "It will be sent to the Vertical Arch Hall later tomorrow." ”

turned to Cai Bian and said: "The official family has emptied the inner treasury before, and it is normal to replenish it." I'm going to the ministry now. Did you send the copywriting of the 'Fangtian Equal Tax Law' and various plans to Kaifeng Mansion? ”

Cai Bian put down his pen, lowered his head and wrote, and said: "I sent it over two days ago, and Kaifeng Mansion is discussing and preparing to implement it." ”

Zhang Dian nodded, looked outside, exhaled deeply, and said, "Then let's start." ”
