As the end of the morning vacation is getting closer and closer, I don't know how many people are getting nervous.

In the political hall, various edicts and decrees are being drafted, officials at all levels are shuttling back and forth between the government hall and the six departments, and the green tile house is as busy as the feet do not touch the ground, and it is in full swing.

Zhao Xu, who thought that everything was ready, found out that things would be busier when things were approaching!

Zhao Xu has been staying in the Vertical Arch Hall for almost the past two days, constantly reviewing the things sent from everywhere, and he didn't even have a chance to drink soup.

At the beginning of the eighth year of Yuanyu, the last day of the court holiday.

No matter how reluctant he was, Su Song, the prime minister, also turned around, not only holding meetings in the political affairs hall, but also inspecting the six ministries and Kaifeng Mansion.

Han Zongdao of Kaifeng Mansion also held meetings one after another, assigning various tasks and conveying government decrees.

The opposition to the revival of the 'new law' is also becoming stronger, especially in the territory under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture.

But none of these can stop anything, and everything is advancing in an orderly manner.

In the evening, the Cining Hall was quieter than ever.

In the small garden, Empress Dowager Gao sat on a chair, wrapped in a thick blanket, quietly watching the sunset.

Zhou He walked quietly from behind and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, it's getting late, let's go back early." ”

Empress Dowager Gao looked at the sky, a smile appeared on her face, and said: "Today is the last day of the court holiday, what do you say, what are the officials and those ministers thinking now?" ”

Zhou He's expression did not move, and he unconsciously looked up at the outside of the palace.

In the past six months or so, the core of the struggle is still the two words 'new law', and now, the 'new law' is about to begin, and I am afraid that many people's feelings are difficult to explain.

Empress Dowager Gao laughed for a while, slowly retracted, her tone was not shocked, and said: "Zhang Dan's selfishness is heavier than Wang Anshi, this person is very obedient for the time being, in the future, the official family may not be able to suppress him, and the official family will regret it." ”

Zhou He bowed and didn't dare to say more.

Empress Dowager Gao pulled the blanket on her leg and said: "You tell the official family that the foundation of my Great Song Dynasty lies in the single-mindedness of the monarch and the ministers. ”

Zhou He's face changed suddenly, and he immediately knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "The villain takes the order." ”

Empress Dowager Gao sighed lightly, quietly looked at the sky outside the palace, and did not speak again.

The 'new law' has come back, and the mentality is complicated, and there is no one more than the Empress Dowager Gao.

At the beginning of Xining, she resolutely opposed the 'new law', and argued with Emperor Shenzong for a long time, almost hurting the relationship between mother and son. Emperor Shenzong died, Zhao Xu ascended the throne, and the Empress Dowager Gao, who listened to the government, couldn't wait to abolish the 'new law', and in just one year, the 'new law' was abolished, and the 'new party' was exiled from Beijing on various charges.

The vigorous change was instantly beaten back to its original shape.

Now, Emperor Shenzong's son, her grandson, is about to revive the 'new law', how can her heart not be complicated?

Complex unspeakable!

The Hall of Politics.

The government hall is not big, several tiled rooms are brightly lit, and the sound of footsteps and discussions has not stopped.

Prime Minister Su Song sat in the duty room, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.

As the 'old minister' left by the Empress Dowager Gao, as the ruler of the current dynasty and the leader of the 'old party', the 'new law' is about to be revived, Su Song's heart is really mixed, with ups and downs.

From his heart, he is against the 'new law', and he has seen the chaos in the world when Xining first changed the law, which is also the reason why these people have followed one after another and firmly opposed the 'new law'.

In their opinion, the abolition of the 'new law' by Empress Dowager Gao, Sima Guang and others is actually what everyone wants, and it is a sage move to set things right.

In just seven years, the 'new law' is about to be resurrected.

But time changes, and things are not people.

Su Song is now the prime minister of the dynasty, and in the eyes of many people, he has rebelled and wants to be the prime minister of the new dynasty!

Su Song exhaled deeply, opened his eyes, and looked at the dark sky outside the window.

The reason why he stayed, Zhao Xu's retention was on the one hand, he wanted to stabilize the situation in his heart, stabilize the world, and there would be no chaos like the beginning of Xining.

"The current Great Song Dynasty can't stand the toss anymore......"

Su Song whispered silently.

Inside the blue-tiled house.

Zhang Dian walked around the rooms, personally instructing the scribes to do things, with a stern tone and a righteous attitude, so frightened that these scribes did not dare to breathe, and only knew that they nodded 'yes'.

On Cai Bian's desk, there were more than a dozen edicts, all of which had overshadowed Zhao Xu's seal.

He was still writing a decree in his hand, and after putting down the pen, he looked at Zhang Dian and said: "Li Qingchen has no problem serving as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, I will go to see him later, and then talk about the affairs of tomorrow's court meeting." ”

Tomorrow is the first court meeting in the eighth year of Yuan You, and there are many things at the court meeting, and Li Qingchen, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is very important!

"Okay." Zhang Dian answered, and said to the little official in front of him: "This official document must be meticulous, and the wording leaves enough space. In addition, the report should be clearer, and don't leave them with loopholes to exploit......"

This is the first time that Zhang Dian has been so 'concerned', the little official's face turned pale, the hand holding the pen kept trembling, and he hesitated to stand up.

After Zhang Dian finished speaking, he walked to his position, looked at Cai Bian and said, "The officials at all levels in Kaifeng Mansion are now in Kaifeng Mansion, and I will go again later." ”

Cai Bian nodded, and then muttered: "There are still a lot of questions, do you want to enter the palace and talk to the official family?" ”

Zhang Dian sat down on his stool and said directly, "No need. At this point, everything that needs to be done has been done, and small problems will not affect the overall situation. ”

Cai Bian's expression was condensed, and he said, "Tomorrow's court meeting, no one will jump out, right?" ”

Zhang Dian snorted lukewarmly, and said: "There is a clause in the examination law of the Ministry of Officials, 'Discuss the major affairs of the court in vain, and cause chaos to the court', if someone still comes out of the moth under our repeated emphasis, it is to test whether my Zhang's knife is sharp enough!" ”

The little official not far away heard it, and his intuition was cold, and he quietly lowered his head.

Tomorrow's court meeting is the most important occasion for the revival of the 'new law', and everyone in the world is watching, if someone really jumps out to oppose it at this time, I am afraid that it will be torn to pieces by Zhangdun!

Cai Bian was still not at ease, and said: "I'll go see Su Xianggong later, I hope he will suppress some unstable people." ”

Tomorrow's court meeting is an enlarged meeting, and almost all officials from the six ministries and three temples, and above the fifth rank will enter the court, not to mention that there are people who do not belong to the 'old and new' parties, even if they are selected by Zhang Dian himself, there are 'traitors'!

Zhang Dian thought for a while and said, "I'll go see Huang Lu." ”

With the continuous advancement of the restructuring, the status of the Imperial Historical Observatory has become increasingly prominent, and the power has become more and more heavy, especially the four words of 'supervising hundreds of officials', which have been gradually implemented in the context of the revival of the 'new law'.

Cai Bian glanced at the dark sky outside, turned to the direction of Funing Palace, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: Official, what are you doing at this time? Are you nervous too?

At this time, Zhao Xu was not nervous, and was eating in the Funing Palace.

There were two people sitting across from him, Empress Meng and Xiao You'e.

Xiao You'e's little face was tense, she shyly took out a folding fan, held her little hand and handed it to Zhao Xu, and said, "Official, give it to you." ”

Zhao Xu looked at her, took it with a smile, opened it, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "My sister's craftsmanship is getting better and better, I like it very much." ”

Xiao You'e smiled sweetly on her face and sat very well-behaved.

Empress Meng glanced at Zhao Xu's desk, where there were already four or five folding fans, and saw that he solemnly hung this one on his waist, touched Xiao You'e's head, and said, "You'e, do you have any wishes?" ”

Xiao You'e blinked, looked at Queen Meng and then at Zhao Xu, her little face was a little confused, and she suddenly said cautiously: "Official, Brother Eleven has been very obedient recently, can you stop beating him?" ”

As she spoke, her hands clutching the corners of her clothes and pursing her lips, her face nervous.

Empress Meng was stunned, but she didn't expect Xiao You'e to say this, and turned to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu looked at Xiao You'e, paused, and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't beat him in the future." ”

Xiao You'e was overjoyed, got up and said, "Really? ”

Zhao Xu smiled and nodded.

Xiao You'e stared at Zhao Xu with big eyes, not knowing what to say, and suddenly ran out directly.

Empress Meng didn't hold it, and when she saw her running out, she said to Zhao Xu: "The official family ......"

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "I should have gone to tell Zhao Ji." Ignore her for now, tomorrow, you gather the noblewomen of the capital, don't say anything, and verbally praise those nobles who donate their family wealth. ”

Empress Meng bowed lightly and said, "Yes." ”

Zhao Xu picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, with a calm expression, he was actually nervous and looking forward to it.

The 'new law' will be reinstated tomorrow, and after so long in the planning, it is finally on the road.
