Su Song understood.

not only understood Zhao Xu's determination, but also realized more from Zhao Ji's matter.

Many things should be changed or even stifled in the bud, if every time it is a 'small punishment and a big commandment', or even ignore it, in the end, it can only be 'maintained', because it is serious to a certain extent, it hurts to touch it, and it involves too much, let alone think about drastic measures.

The current situation is that the problems that have not been solved in the past have been paid attention to over time, but they have swelled to such an extent that they dare not touch them easily, and they have to be carefully protected, for fear of 'collapsing'.

Su Song was on crutches, silent.

Zhao Ji in front of them is ten years old this year, and he basically understands everything.

Hearing that Zhao Xu had robbed him of everything, his little face turned pale, his eyes were full of fear, his body trembled, his teeth chattered, and he couldn't say a word.

Zhao Xu didn't look at him at all, glanced at the copper coins on the ground, turned to Zhu Qianzhen who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Zhu Qianzhen, get up, I have to call you uncle." ”

Zhu Qianzhen trembled, hurriedly got up, and said in fright: "The villain doesn't dare." ”

Zhu Qianzhen is indeed the elder brother of Concubine Zhu in legal theory, but Concubine Zhu's biological father's surname is Xuan, and he grew up in the current family, although his surname is Zhu, he has almost no relationship with the Zhu family.

This is also the fundamental reason why Zhu Qianzhen does not have the identity of an uncle and is like an ordinary person.

Zhao Xu looked at him for a moment, then stared at the copper coins all over the ground, thinking in his heart.

A mere hundred and ten hangs, exchanged for silver, is one hundred and ten taels, and now it needs to be transported by horse-drawn carts and large boxes, which are scattered all over the ground and are thick and thick.

Zhao Xu glanced at the people around him, and saw that no one spoke, and no one appeared again, so he said: "The inspection department will clean up, and the rest of the things will go according to the procedure." ”

"Yes." A person who looked like a deputy inspector of the inspection department raised his hand in response.

In fact, there is basically nothing to do next, the culprit Zhao Ji has been robbed of everything and confined in the palace, and the rest is the aftermath.

Zhao Xu didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

Su Song remained silent and followed Zhao Xu back.

Chen Pi glanced at Zhao Ji, whose face was pale and seemed to be distracted, and Zhao Ji, who was not lightly frightened, and ordered someone to take the two away.

The people hidden around already knew Zhao Xu's words, and they were all shocked.

The eleventh son of Emperor Shenzong, the eleventh brother of today's official family, was abolished because he bullied a vendor on the street?

Cai Jing stood at the window, quietly looking at Zhao Xu passing through the street, his expression gradually solemn.

He thought he had guessed some of the official's thoughts, but the courage in front of him made him doubt himself.

When Zhao Xu returned to the palace, the palace had already exploded.

Empress Dowager Gao sent Zhou He, Concubine Zhu, and Empress Meng to the Funing Hall in person, wanting to inquire about it.

Zhao Xu was prepared in his heart, and patiently explained to the three women in the palace in the Funing Palace.

Su Song sat in the duty room of the political affairs hall, his eyes closed, silent, quietly as if he was asleep.

The little officials outside the door didn't dare to disturb at all, and Su Xianggong came back from outside, giving them an unprecedented sense of coldness.

Su Song has been thinking about Zhao Xu's words, and he is also thinking about the situation in front of him.

Today's imperial court is facing all kinds of problems, many of which are indeed imminent and need to be dealt with.

It's just that you really want to let Zhang Dian and others go free and let them act?

But if he doesn't let go, he can't solve these problems, and I believe that it will be even more difficult for latecomers to solve them.

Besides, the official's attitude is already very clear.

I don't know how long it took, Su Song sighed lightly, took out the 'Army Restructuring Strategy' jointly written by the Ministry of War and the Privy Council from the drawer, he stared at it for a while, slowly took out the big seal, covered it, closed it and didn't look at it again, and said to the door: "Come on, send it to the green tile house." ”

A scribe pushed the door in, took the notebook, looked at the slight change in his eyes, hurriedly bowed down, quietly withdrew, and closed the door by the way.

Su Song became more and more silent.

He let it go, not knowing how much movement it would cause, or how many people would criticize him.

"No matter ......"

Su Song shook his head, at his age, he wouldn't force too much, and he wouldn't care too much about the scolding outside.

In the Funing Palace.

Zhao Xu explained a good deal and drank tea with a dry mouth.

Zhou He has been standing, he represents the Empress Dowager Gao, except for occasionally asking a few words, he has been silent.

Empress Meng didn't speak, and stayed by Concubine Zhu's side for a while.

The one who spoke the most and was the most anxious was Concubine Zhu, Zhao Ji was more by her side than Zhao Xu, Zhao Xiang, and Zhao You'e, and she was suddenly demoted to a concubine, how could she not worry.

Until the end, she still said: "Then Zhao Ji will live in my yard in the future, and you can't be punished anymore." ”

It's all like this, how else can it be punished? Strangled to death for a strip of white silk?

Zhao Xu muttered in his heart, and said lightly: "Okay." ”

Zhao Ji knelt on the ground, crying all the time, sobbing non-stop. Hearing that Zhao Xu was no longer punished, he glanced at Zhao Xu with teary eyes, and lowered his head aggrievedly.

Zhao Xu made up his mind to teach this little bastard a good lesson, without any soft-heartedness, and didn't say a word more.

Hearing this, Concubine Zhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward to wipe Zhao Ji's face, and said distressedly: "Don't cry, come with me." ”

Zhao Ji hummed softly, wiped his face, quietly glanced at Zhao Xu, and followed Concubine Zhu away.

Zhao Xu glanced at Empress Meng again, and said, "Do you think I have dealt with it too much?" ”

Zhao Ji is only ten years old, and he bullies people on the street, strictly speaking, it is not a big deal, and there is no need to be degraded to a commoner.

Empress Meng pursed her lips and said softly: "The concubines don't dare to talk much, but they are worried that it will affect the feelings of the official brothers." ”

dealt with Zhao Ji severely, not to mention the relationship between Zhao Xu and Zhao Ji, it will also affect Zhao Xiang, Zhao You'e, Zhao Yan, and even the clan's perception of Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, he naturally thought about it a long time ago, and said, "It's no big deal, grandmother's health is not very good, you can go and see more." ”

Empress Meng glanced at Zhao Xu cautiously, and saluted: "Yes, the concubine retired." ”

Zhao Xu snorted, watched Empress Meng leave, turned his head to look at Chen Pi, and said, "Yizhou Jiaozi and other information about Jiaozi, how is it going?" ”

Chen Pi hurriedly took two steps forward and said, "The villain asked people yesterday, and the household department has been sorted out almost, and it is expected that it will be sent in the next two days." ”

Zhao Xu nodded lightly, still thinking of the copper coins in that place, and then said, "Then Zhu Qianzhen, do you have any contact with Xiao Niang?" ”

Zhu Qianzhen's information was almost checked before Zhao Xu left the palace, and now it is clearer, Chen Pi said: "When Guotai was still alive, there was still contact, but after Guotai died, especially after the official family ascended the throne, it was basically gone." ”

Guotai is the biological mother of Concubine Zhu.

Zhao Xu can understand that there is no blood relationship, and Concubine Zhu's biological mother passed away early, Concubine Zhu is unsatisfactory in the palace, and the already fragile relationship is broken.

Zhao Xu thought carefully for a while, and said, "Check carefully, find a time, I want to go out of the palace to meet him."

Chen Pi was puzzled, Concubine Zhu didn't care, and the official family had hardly seen it, so he didn't know what to do to see Zhu Qianzhen, but he still responded: "Yes." ”

When Zhao Xu was talking to Chen Pi, the scribe of the political hall sent the 'army restructuring strategy' to the Qingwafang, in the hands of Cai Bian.

Cai Bian waved away the scribe, opened the notebook, looked at Su Song's bright red Prime Minister Dayin, smiled with relief and said to Zhang Tun: "The official family still has a way." ”

Zhang Xuan was a little surprised, he didn't expect Zhao Xu to really convince the stubborn old man Su so easily.

Cai Bian didn't think so much, and said: "Let's discuss it again, make some changes with the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, and then join the Privy Council and the Political Hall to write a letter to settle this matter." ”

Zhang Dian said: "This matter is not a big problem. Soon the dynasty will be opened, and the Kaifeng Mansion must be urged to take this head. ”

Cai Bian's expression was slightly solemn, and he said: "Yesterday, I already asked people to sort out the new laws and specific measures, and send them to Kaifeng Mansion later." If Han Zongdao doesn't care, let Cao Zheng take the lead, and other departments will fully support it! It is not only the beginning, but also a summary of lessons and lessons, waiting for the full resumption of the new law! ”

Zhang Xuanjian's eyebrows were slightly raised, and his voice was rarely slow, and he said, "I always feel that it won't be so smooth." ”

Cai Bian twisted his eyebrows, and then remembered how the 'old party' resisted the new law during the Xining period.

One word: do it all!
