Zhang Dian glanced at Su Song and said, "I'm going to see the official family, is Su Xianggong with me?" ”

Su Song stood up on crutches and said, "I have to go to inspect the river later, you can go." ”

Su Song is now increasingly alienated from the government, and he is a ruler who doesn't care about anything.

Zhang Dian also asked a 'polite' question, and explained to Cao Zheng and Geng Rujie: "It is estimated that there will be some moths on the side of King Yan, you should be vigilant." ”

Cao Zheng and Geng Rujie naturally knew that they had 'provoked' a big disaster, so they hurriedly raised their hands and responded: "Yes, the lower officials are saved." ”

Zhang Dian looked out indifferently, he knew that there must be a storm, he was waiting!

Zhang Dian talked with Cai Bian a few more words, walked out of the green tile house, and turned to the Funing Palace.

At this time, Zhao Xu was reviewing the recital in the study. On the small table opposite him, Zhao Ji puffed out his little face and was practicing calligraphy.

And in the courtyard of the Funing Palace, Zhao seemed to be flushed and excited, and under the teaching of Hu Zhongwei and others, he was learning to ride a horse.

Zhao Xu occasionally looked at the two little guys, so he continued to bow his head to deal with political affairs.

The current territory of the Great Song Dynasty is very small, and almost all of the places it occupies are good, but even so, all kinds of problems are still endless, complex and unspeakable.

Not long after, Zhang Xuan came, Zhao Xu saw him with a solemn face, and said with a smile: "Come on, move a stool for Zhang Xianggong, serve tea, by the way, bring the chessboard, and I will talk to Zhang Xianggong a few times." ”

Chen Pi hurriedly arranged, Zhang Dian was not restrained, and sat opposite Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu cleaned up the table, waited for the chessboard to be placed, held the sunspot, and said with a smile: "Among my brothers, when it comes to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, there is only eleven and a little bit of it, including me, which is not very good. ”

Zhang Dian knew that Zhao Ji, this Eleventh Highness is younger, otherwise he would definitely be the best of the gentlemen, eating, drinking, and having fun, but when it comes to spirituality, it seems that he is indeed the best among the heirs of the Divine Sect.

Zhang Dian picked up the white son and said: "Your Majesty is too modest, how can the world be perfect, but if there is an achievement, there must be something lacking in other aspects." ”

Zhao Xu agreed with this sentence and slowly fell.

Go is the most test of the layout, the overall situation can not be careless, and it is really not a joke to lose all the games if you make a mistake.

Zhao Xu's chess strength is really not good, but he can also play a few moves.

Seeing that Zhao Xu looked serious, Zhang Xuan fell a few shots, and when he saw that the situation was stable, he said: "Your Majesty, Yang Hui and others have been moving too much recently. ”

Zhao Xu stared at the chessboard, and said subconsciously: "It's not strange, you and I are about to turn the court over, can't you let people say something and do something to get angry?" ”

Zhang Dan's mind was not on the chessboard, he fell, and said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Qi, Wang Anli and others are about to enter Beijing, and the minister plans to end these things before they enter Beijing." ”

Although there were less than ten moves, Zhao Xu had already felt the strength of the opposite chess, and was thinking hard, and said after listening: "You can't finish it, Yang Hui is just taking the lead and making a temptation, they still have the means." That Wang Anli, I'm afraid it's a stone hammer, and I can't run. ”

The corners of Zhang Dan's face became more and more straight, his eyes were sharp, but his tone was gentle: "Although Wang Anli is different from Wang Xianggong, if they tear open the opening of Wang Anli, and then deny Wang Anli and the 'new law', the minister will definitely not agree." ”

If Wang Anshi is denied the 'new law', and if the 'new law' is denied, then these 'new parties' will die without redemption, and what awaits them is an extremely miserable end!

Zhao Xu suddenly saw a wonderful move, and fell with a snap, and said with surprise on his face: "Good chess!" ”

Seeing this, after a little thought, he fell behind.

Zhao Xu frowned suddenly, looked up at Zhang Xuan, and thought again.

Zhang Dian continued: "Your Majesty, the Dali Temple is laying a prefecture-level Dali Temple in various road houses, and the Three Law Divisions are stepping up their deliberations on the criminal law, which should be promulgated early next year." The minister hopes that before that, the absolute authority of Dali Temple will be established. ”

Zhao Xu was still thinking hard about countermeasures, Zhang Dan's chess strength was really powerful, for a while, Zhao Xu could only give up this corner, and continued: "Policies are easy to change, but people's hearts are difficult to change." However, it is true that something can be done through this case, and the focus is not to keep an eye on the imperial court, but to take a look at the local area. ”

Zhang Di's eyes suddenly opened slightly, his face was cold, and he bowed down and said: "Yes, there are indeed a lot of people who came out this time, and Zhang Qi transferred 40,000 troops to defend Bianjing in Xijing." When the king is deposited in the capital, it will be almost over. Ministers come to cook. ”

"Play chess, play chess!" Zhao Xu didn't seem to hear it, and when he saw that he didn't fall behind, he urged him.

Zhang Dian glanced at the chessboard and dropped a piece at random.

Zhao Xu saw that there was no way out again, so he glanced up at him, pressed his arms on his legs, and stared at the chessboard.

Zhang Dian said: "Your Majesty, King Yan has ill intentions and is not enough for a big task, and the minister plans to replace him next year." ”

Zhao Xu was not interested in Zhao Hao, and said: "I am just such an uncle, the younger brothers, the ninth brother Zhao Ji is blind, the eleventh Zhao Ji is a little bastard, and the one riding a horse outside is my same maternal brother, but he is only nine years old, who do you choose?" ”

When Zhao Ji heard Zhao Xu's words, he puffed up his face and looked at Zhao Xu, and then looked at Zhao Xu, who was playing outside, and became more and more indignant.

Zhang Dian said this, naturally he thought about it, and said: "Dali Temple wants to mature, and it is not enough to have ten or twenty years, and the young age of several highnesses is not necessarily a bad thing." ”

Zhao Xu sighed, thought for a while, and said, "Ninth brother...... Zhao Ji...... Zhao seems to ......"

In the end, he shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

Seeing this, Zhang Duan didn't say much, and then said: "The Criminal Department has taken over the inspection department and is sorting it out, and at the same time taking over the inspection department of all prefectures, prefectures and counties across the country. ”

Zhao Xu was still staring at the chessboard, unable to settle for a long time, and said: "The change of the law is not just the promulgation of a new law by the imperial court, the key is still in the people." As for officials, we cannot rely solely on morality to restrain them, because morality is the thing that cannot withstand the temptation the most, and we must also have strong supervision. The Criminal Department, the Imperial Historical Observatory should be used. The examination method of the officials should be stricter, and it is easy to produce inertia if the life is too comfortable, and people will not be willing to change if they have inertia. ”

Zhang Dian responded, and when he saw that Zhao Xu was not left behind, he said: "Waiting for the matter in front of me, the minister plans to let Dali Temple make a conclusion on the recent and many cases that have been delayed for a long time and criticized by the government and the opposition, so as not to always stumble the court and fight endlessly." ”

Zhao Xu suddenly saw a place where he could settle down, and said happily: "Well, these details and trivial matters, you Qingwafang can sentence and decide, and you don't need to report everything." ”

Zhang Xuan was a little surprised by Zhao Xu's attitude, this official had always been eager and sharp in his work before, but how could he not be arrogant or impatient recently.

"Official, Han Xianggong is here." Before Zhang Dian could speak, Chen Pi walked over and said in a low voice.

Zhao Xu stared at the chessboard and said, "Han Zongdao? Let him in. ”

Zhang Dan's expression did not move, holding the chess pieces in his hand, and his mind slowly turned.

Han Zongdao came in, his face was extremely peaceful, but he still saw that he was depressed and indignant, he glanced at Zhang Dan, took out a notebook from his sleeve, raised his hand and said: "Official, the minister is old and frail, and he is unbearable, so he is here to resign." ”

Again?

Zhao Xu glanced up at him, continued to stare at the chessboard, and said, "Make up a reasonable excuse." ”

Han Zongdao's expression moved, after all, he didn't really make it up, he was silent for a while, and said with a sad face: "The dog is confused, he was held by someone in Hangzhou Mansion, and now he is here to blackmail the ministers......"

Zhang Dianjian raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "What they can do, I will only be more ruthless than them, are you afraid of them, you are not afraid of me?" ”

Han Zongdao glanced at Zhang Dun, hesitated and did not speak.

Although he opposes the reform of the law, he also knows from the bottom of his heart that when it comes to ethics and bottom line, the 'new party' as a whole far surpasses the 'old party'.

Zhao Xu looked at the chessboard, and Zhang Dan made him unable to advance or retreat with a few casual moves, and looked for a place to land on the chessboard.

Seeing that Zhao Xu didn't speak, Zhang Duan bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, how old is Your Majesty, and it is normal for your chess strength to be slightly better." ”

Chen Pi frowned secretly when he heard this, this Zhang Xianggong is really ignorant, and he doesn't know how to let him go, knowing that the official chess is not strong.

As soon as Zhang Xuan said this, Zhao Xu couldn't continue to stare and think, took the teacup on the side, stirred with the tea, and said, "Just now Zhang Xianggong said that it was almost over, he came to cook." ”

This sentence was naturally said to Han Zongdao.

Han Zongdao's expression changed abruptly, what does the official family mean by this?

In an instant, he realized that the current imperial court is basically controlled by the 'New Party', plus the 200,000 troops in the northwest of Zhangqi, even if it is a rebellion, there is no possibility of success, not to mention Kaifeng City, even the major events in the world are also determined by the official family, and waiting for so long is to wait for some people to jump out, so as to promote the 'new law'!

Han Zongdao figured it out, his heart was a little cold, he glanced at the pair of monarchs and ministers, and his brows couldn't help frowning deeply.

This official is bold and ambitious; This chapter is even more of a pioneer in 'changing the law', and his character is as upright as fire. With such a combination of them, where will the Great Song Dynasty go in the future?

He had no time to think about his son's safety.

"Official, Cai You asks to see." Suddenly, the sound of a yellow door sounded outside the door.

Zhao Xu looked at Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Dian immediately leaned over and said, "I don't know. ”

Chen Pi also bowed slightly, indicating that it was not clear.

The Imperial City Division was temporarily handed over to the political hall for deployment, and Chen Pi didn't care about it anymore.

Zhao Xu turned his mind, looked at the chessboard in front of him, and said, "Let him come in." ”

Cai You came soon, with a purple hat and black boots, and compared to the other Imperial City Guards, his belt was inlaid with gold and red.

Cai You entered the study, but he didn't expect so many people, first slightly, and hurriedly stepped forward quietly, raised his hand and said, "Minister Cai You has seen the official family." ”

Zhao Xu stared at the chessboard and said motionlessly, "What's the matter?"

Cai You put down his hand, bowed his waist and said: "Back to the official's house, Wang Cun has arrived in Beijing and gone to Yang Hui's mansion." ”

Han Zongdao listened, and his face suddenly sank.

Zhang Dan was expressionless, but his original face was stern.

Zhao Xu was cracking Zhang's chess game, and said casually: "Your people have arrived in Hangzhou?" ”

Cai You's expression was unusually respectful, and he said, "It's here." ”

Originally, those people went to get Wang Cun, but they didn't expect Wang Cun to leave Beijing first. But there were always fellow party members, so the Nanjing Imperial City Division still went to Hangzhou.

The black chess piece in Zhao Xu's hand turned, and said, "Someone threatens Han Xianggong's son with him, you have someone rescue him and bring him back to Beijing." ”

Cai You glanced at Han Zongdao and said, "Yes." ”

Han Zongdao's lips moved, and he stopped talking, and finally sighed lightly in his heart and said, "Xie Guan's family." ”

When this sentence fell, the study suddenly fell silent, and no one spoke again.

After a long time, Zhao Xu was stunned, looked up at Cai You, and said, "What else is going on?" ”

Cai You glanced at Zhao Xu, bowed down, and did not speak.

The meaning is very simple, the stakes are very high, please let the officials step down.

Zhao Xu glanced at Zhang Dian and Han Zongdao, and said, "Say it." ”

Seeing this, Cai You took out a text and handed it to Zhao Xu and said, "Please review it from the official family." ”

Zhao Xu was curious, took it and looked at it, but he hurriedly glanced at it, and said in a deep voice: "Is it true?" ”

Cai You hurriedly raised his hand and said, "There is no falsehood!" ”

Zhang Xuan, Han Zongdao saw Zhao Xu's movements, and his face showed a different color.

Zhao Xu stared at Cai You for a moment, slowly looked out the window, faintly chilled, and said softly: "Zhang Qing's family, there are enough fish, collect the net." Right now. ”
