As Zhao Xu returned to the palace, the patrolling guards in Kaifeng City returned to their posts one after another, and martial law was lifted, and the people went out in a little panic, looking around, talking to each other, and exploring what was going on.

In the prison of Dali Temple.

Chen Chao and Lin Cheng already knew the movement outside, and glanced at each other through the cell, their eyes were unprecedentedly solemn.

Things are completely different from what they expected!

In Dali Temple, Cao Zheng came back from the political hall and was holding a meeting.

In the conference room of Dali Temple, Cao Zheng glanced at the seven young ministers sitting on both sides, opened the codex on the table, and said loudly: "The government hall held a meeting and decided a lot of things. Regarding my Dali Temple, I will report to all my colleagues, first: Zhao Hao, the king of Dali Temple, was deposed by the official family and detained in the palace because of his lack of morality. In the future, Dali Siqing was selected by the political affairs hall from the close relatives of the clan and served for life. Second, the new criminal law will be enacted next year, but the case law bill will be issued tomorrow, and Dali Temple can act accordingly and deal with many long-pending cases. Third, regarding the development outline of Dali Temple, I have reported to the official family for approval, and it will be implemented next year. Fourth, from next year, the officials of our Dali Temple will not be transferred from outside or move inward, and will be promoted from within the temple. Fifth, the officials of Dali Temple who have the right to adjudicate, unless Dali Temple agrees, other departments, including the Imperial City Division, by the way, the Imperial City Division has been classified into the political affairs hall, and shall not be arrested, detained, detained, etc. Sixth ......"

The seven young masters of Dali Temple listened slowly, and their expressions were excited again and again.

The meeting of the government hall this time gave them a lot of power and 'privileges'!

Just saying that without the consent of Dali Temple, other departments are not allowed to seize this article, it is enough to make them happy!

Cao Zheng looked at everyone's expressions and nodded secretly.

Officials.

The yamen of the Ministry of Officials can be said to be dilapidated and old, and the officials of the Ministry of Officials have repeatedly asked for construction and expansion, but they have all been rejected by the government hall.

Lin Xi presided over the meeting with an indifferent face, sat upright, not angry and arrogant, and said: "Our officials have a lot of things to do next, you listen well, remember, don't be angry when I play the board in the future." First, the examination law will be implemented next year and improved as soon as possible. Second, before the end of the year, there will be a large-scale deployment of officials, and I will elaborate on the specific list later. Third, the Ministry of Officials will directly administer and manage the officials at the prefectural level, and the appointment, assessment, and relocation of officials will all be in the Ministry of Officials. Fourth, the Inspection Department is transferred to the Criminal Department, and the inspection of each government is under the dual management of the Criminal Department and the local government, but the appointment needs to be through the Ministry of Officials...... Finally, and most importantly, there has been chaos and people's hearts are shaky lately. The more this time, the more you can see the quality of a person, if someone can't use things with peace of mind, ask him to go to a place where he can stay at ease! ”

Lin Xi's face was indifferent, and his tone had been very steady, but the last words were murderous!

The officials were startled, and hurriedly got up, raised their hands and said in unison: "The subordinate receives the order!" ”

Lin Xi still looked indifferent and said, "Next, I will talk about the specific list." ”

Everyone sat down in fear, they had already seen that the official document in front of Lin Xi was very thick!

At the same time, the other ministries and temples are holding meetings, and they are informing the contents of the meetings of the government affairs hall, one of which is to be 'stable', and the other is to prepare for the next and next year's events.

Soon, the edict requested by Zhang Dian about the division of the Imperial City Division into the political hall was announced, and at the same time, the newspaper of the political hall was transmitted to all departments in the capital and to all parts of the country.

This will seems to be some kind of follow-up to the reform of the imperial court, and many people don't care about it.

But there are also many people who are terrified and have a premonition that a big event is about to happen.

Outside the Imperial City, Cai You was expressionless, summoned a deputy commander, and was casually arranging tasks.

Everyone present looked secretly cautious, excited and apprehensive.

At the same time, carrier pigeons flew out one after another, rushing to the north, south, east and west of the Great Song Dynasty with some kind of orders.

Outside Kaifeng City, there were three armies moving, one from Jingdong Road, aiming at Beijing's Daimyo's Mansion, and the other from Qinfeng Road, aiming at Xijing Henan Mansion. There is also one, the Tiger Fear Army led by Zong Ze, which has been divided, with 5,000 people each stationed at the three gates of Kaifeng Mansion, and the Tiger Fear Army is due south.

As the action became bigger and bigger, Kaifeng City was filled with a mood of mountain rain and wind full of buildings, and I don't know how many people closed their mansions and were panicked.

All the institutions of the imperial court are stepping up their preparations, but Zhao Xu in the palace suddenly seems to be a little idle.

At the top, the most troublesome things have been solved, and the next thing is the matter of Zhang Dian and others.

In the evening, he went to Renming Hall first, talked to the sick Empress Meng for a while, and left after Empress Meng fell asleep.

Then go to the Qingshou Hall and have dinner with Concubine Zhu.

Concubine Zhu's face was full of sadness, and she sighed with Zhao Xu from time to time, recalling the past with the Empress Dowager Gao, and feeling that the once resolute Empress Dowager was really old.

After accompanying Concubine Zhu to eat, Zhao Xu returned to Funing Hall after dark.

Tong Guan followed Zhao Xu's side, looked at the cold sky, and said in a low voice: "Official, is there a harem servant tonight?" ”

Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "No need, let the people in the palace rest early." ”

Tong Guan cautiously responded.

He is more vigilant than Chen Pi, Chen Pi is an old man next to Zhao Xu, and there are not many things to worry about, but Tong Guan is different, he has a lot of thoughts, and there are too many handles to grasp!

Zhao Xu was strolling, and suddenly turned his head to look at Tong Guan, but he didn't say anything.

Tong Guan was startled, opened his mouth to ask and swallowed back.

Early the next morning, the government affairs hall issued decrees one after another, and the newspapers that had been prepared were spread throughout the country.

The first is about the canonization of Meng as the empress, which is Zhao Xu's official canonization edict.

Second, abolish the three ya, and the power is vested in the Ministry of War and the Privy Council.

The third way is to establish the judicial status of Dali Temple, as well as the rules for the use of criminal law and ritual law, including case law, punishment is greater than etiquette, equality of law, judicial interpretation, and so on.

Fourth, the various institutions of the imperial court were cut and merged, and the powers and positions were established, responsibilities were clarified, and ethics were standardized.

Fifth, the outline of the national law reform policy was announced, the goal of law change within five years was formulated, and the 'Xining Law' was officially announced next year.

The sixth is to summarize a series of incidents in the past six months, denounce the corruption and abuse of power cases of Lu Dafang and others, and demand that officials across the country take warning. Severely reprimand and warn against all kinds of illegal acts, especially the organized collusion, collusion, coercion and inducement of officials against courtiers, framing, wanton distortion and criticism of state affairs.

The seventh is a series of personnel appointments, which amend the official positions of officials at all levels of the imperial court. Including Zhang Dan stepped down as deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and Zhang Qi served as privy councillor. There are three ministers in the government hall, the prime minister, the left and right two ministers, and six governors and so on.

……

Eleven in a row, related to all aspects of the Great Song Dynasty, is the most formal and serious external announcement of Zhao Xu and the Great Song Dynasty, a summary of the seven years of Yuan You, and a preparation and beginning for next year.

Almost at the same time as these edicts were issued, the Imperial City Division, the Criminal Department, and the Yushitai three violent agencies, with a list of them, began to arrest people in Mankaifeng.

Moreover, some of them were sent out of Beijing and rushed in all directions.

In particular, the Imperial City Division had long been deployed in Sijing, and it was dispatched the most quickly, and it was taken away before many people could react.

There was a ruler like Lu Dafang in prison in the front, and there was such a large-scale arrest operation in the back, even if it was a big crime such as 'not honoring the king, plotting against him, forming a party for personal gain, and causing chaos in the dynasty', it still shook the entire Great Song Dynasty, and I don't know how many people turned around, couldn't sleep at night, and were afraid and worried.
