Zhao Xu didn't take He Yi's matter to heart, took the army, went out day and night, and returned to Beijing unhurriedly.

But he didn't care, but the court couldn't help it.

The special position of the 'governor' is the key driving force of the 'new law' in the locality, and the matter of He Yi is the backlash against the 'new law' in the locality, and I don't know how many people are behind it.

If this is not pressed, the governors selected by Zhang Tun, Cai Bian and others will be able to return to Beijing before the end of the year, and it will be difficult to arrange these governors in the future.

This will be a huge setback for the 'new law'!

September 13th.

This matter began to ferment, and gradually suppressed the matter of Zhao Xu's victory in returning to Beijing.

The Hall of Politics.

Zhang Dian and Cai Bian presided over the daily government affairs meetings, and the rest of the six Shangshu were all in Hedong Road except for the military department Shangshu Xu Jiang, which was also the top management of the Great Song Dynasty.

Liang Tao sat up straight, looked at Zhang Dian and Cai Bian and said: "At present, the measurement of acres of land in Kaifeng Mansion has been basically completed, but there are many difficulties in household registration, one is a fugitive, there are too many displaced people, and it is impossible to come back for a while. Second, it is difficult to register the population of large gentry households. There is also the hiding of the population by every household, and the fooling of low-level officials...... From the progress reported by Kaifeng Prefecture and various counties, the population of Kaifeng Prefecture is actually 20% less than that of Yuan You in the fifth year......"

Cai Bian waited for him to speak, and said, "We expected this situation, and it is not strange. Kaifeng Mansion is just one place, and if you want to check the population of our Great Song Dynasty, you have to play a game of chess across the country. To continue to advance, it is important to summarize problems and improve ways and means, what we want is to accumulate experience and reserve sufficient means for comprehensively advancing the 'New Deal'......"

Liang Tao and the other four Shangshu all nodded, although Kaifeng Mansion is the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, but in the end it is just a city, and its problems cannot be solved in Kaifeng Mansion.

Wang Cun, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, saw that the words came to this, coughed, and said: "He Yi's matter is in an uproar, I heard that He Yi himself is also on the guilty book?" ”

Zhang Dian glanced at him and said, "What else to say, finish it in one breath." ”

Wang Cun knew that Zhang Dian was unhappy, because He Yi was appointed by Zhang Dian and was a good person, he looked at Cai Bian and the others quietly, and said: "Xia Guan also heard that people are impeaching He Yi one after another across the country, and there are as many as 30 copies of the recital, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

The corners of Zhang Dan's face were always serious, his eyes were calm, and he said, "It's true." ”

Wang Cun leaned forward unconsciously, and said, "I don't know, what do the two prime ministers plan to do?" ”

Wang Cun seemed to have a gentle tone, but in fact he was already aggressive, forcing Zhang Dian, Cai Bian and others to express their positions.

Li Qingchen, Lin Xi and the others swept over Wang Cun without speaking.

The problem with He Yi is not whether he is really corrupt and perverts the law, but that this is a counterattack by the 'conservatives', not against He Yi, nor at Zhang Dian and Cai Bian, but the fundamental 'new law'!

Once He Yi falls, it will be the collapse of the multi-bone Nomi card, the 'old party' will rise in the wind, and the Great Song Dynasty and the opposition will be in chaos in an instant!

Zhang Dian looked at Wang Cun quietly, he was not afraid of chaos, but this chaos must be under his control!

Zhang Dian said lightly: "The other ministries are not moving much, but your Ministry of Industry, more than ten people jointly wrote the book, are you worried that I can't see it, and I'm afraid that I won't target you?" ”

Everyone knows the relationship between the two sides, Zhang Dian does not shy away from it, Wang Cun does not scruple about it, bows slightly, and says: "The Ministry of Industry works for the country, I don't know why Zhang Xianggong wants to target us?" ”

Zhang Dian slowly moved his gaze away from his face, looked at everyone, and said, "I have a proposal, the governors of Guangnan Road, Xizhejiang Road, and Huainan Road will be transferred back to Beijing, and the imperial court will be selected separately." ”

"No!" As soon as Zhang Dan's voice fell, Wang Cun's face changed slightly, and he said urgently.

These three governors are all on the 'old party', and they are the result of a compromise between the 'old and new' sides when Su Song was in power!

Cai Bian glanced at him and said: "These three governors are doing nothing, and there are a lot of them below, eating and drinking all day long, wind and snow, touring the scenery, visiting celebrities, doing poetry and songs, and not doing anything serious......"

Lin Ximu grimaced, and said: "These three officials have been investigating, except for the clear and broad theory, there is no practicality, the officials have received a lot of notices, it is said that during the day, visit the great rivers and mountains, and stay in the Qinglou Song Workshop at night, so that they are at ease......

Shao Yuguang, who came from the Criminal Department, swept over Wang Cun and said, "After arriving in Beijing, the Criminal Department will file a case for investigation." ”

Wang Cundeng's face sank like water, and his heart swelled with anger, he was isolated in the political affairs hall, knowing that he couldn't continue to entangle, and said directly: "The lower official doesn't understand, He Yi's matter has been boiled all over the country, and he himself has written to resign from the official, why don't the two ministers deal with his affairs, but stare at those three people?" ”

Cai Bian said: "He Yi's matter will be handed over to the Imperial Historical Observatory for verification, if it is true, the imperial court has its own laws." As for Guangnan Lu and the other three, they were governors, and it was normal for them to be transferred back to Beijing. ”

Wang Cun's face turned blue, he forcibly suppressed his anger, and said: "There is a lot of discussion outside, the two prime ministers want to deal with it like this, and the lower officials don't say anything, the official family is about to return to Beijing, and the lower officials believe that this is not the scene that the official family wants to see when they return from the expedition." ”

Zhang Dian's eyebrows gradually raised, turned to Wang Cun, and said: "This doesn't need Wang Shangshu to worry, I heard that the Ministry of Industry has had a lot of problems in the project in the past half a year, and the 'waste' is as high as 700,000 yuan?" ”

Wang Cun's expression became more and more ugly, and said: "The lower officials haven't checked it out yet, I don't know where Zhang Xianggong found out?" ”

Shao interjected and said: "The Criminal Department has received a lot of complaints, and is preparing to investigate with the Yushitai, Wang Shangshu, if there are any clues, please convey them to my second department." ”

Wang Cun understood more and more that the 'New Party' and others had already united and were ready to suppress He Yi's matter.

But how could he let Zhang Dian and the others get their wish!

Wang Cun snorted coldly in his heart, the more ugly the color on his face, and said, "Since the imperial court has decided to investigate the Ministry of Industry, I have nothing to say." But for the matter of He Yi, I will go to the official's house. ”

Zhang Dian naturally ignored it, looked around at everyone again, and said in a deep voice: "There are three important tasks at present, first, the 'Kaifeng Mansion Pilot' must be completed on time, and it must not be delayed. Second, when the official family returns to Beijing, this matter should be taken seriously. Third, next year, the 'new law' will be fully revived, and we must make full preparations for this, especially the governors and prefects of all walks of life, who must be competent people, talk loudly, write poems and songs, and ask them to concentrate on this and not delay the national affairs......"

Wang Cun looked at Zhang Dan, his face was as heavy as water, his eyes were like fire, and his heart was calmer.

Is this because of He Yi's matter, or was it premeditated?

If it goes on like this, will their people still be able to gain a foothold in the imperial court and the national officialdom?

Cai Bian looked at Lin Xi and said, "The Jingcha of the Ministry of Officials and the Imperial Historical Observatory will have results at the end of October and January. ”

Lin Xi leaned over and said, "Yes." ”

Cai Bian also said: "The criminal department, the official department, the imperial history platform, and the household department in all the vertical institutions should be quickly established, and all aspects of personnel, powers and responsibilities should be clearly divided, and after the official family returns to Beijing, the military and government will be further refined, and each ministry must come up with its own plan, and before the end of the year, together with the ministry, the following ...... will be determined."
