Zhang Dian and the others were busy, and Zhao Xu came to the Qingshou Palace.

Concubine Zhu was very happy to see Zhao Xu coming, and while instructing people to Zhang Luo, she pulled Zhao Xu to sit down, and said with a smile on her face: "Official, Liu Meiren came to me just now and sent me a lot of things. Let me tell you, in the harem, you want to be wet with rain and dew, you are already in power, and you should have an heir......"

Hearing that Concubine Zhu was discussing this kind of problem with him, Zhao Xu was a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly said, "Little Niang, where is the tenth sister?" ”

Concubine Zhu waved her hand and said, "I'm going to play with Liu Meiren." Let me tell you, Liu Meiren is well-read and reasonable, and she has been in the palace since she was a child, so she knows the roots, so don't be left out in the cold......"

Zhao Xu couldn't get around, so he had to say, "Little lady, didn't you like Meng Meiren before?" ”

Concubine Zhu glanced outside, hesitated, and said in a low voice: "She is the Empress Dowager's person, I am afraid that she will harm you." ”

Zhao Xu smiled slightly, took Concubine Zhu's hand, and said, "Don't worry, little lady, I have a sense of proportion." ”

Concubine Zhu looked at Zhao Xu, seeing that he was not fooling, she was relieved, looked outside again, and was more hesitant than just now, and said: "Not long ago, the Empress Dowager came later, although she didn't say it explicitly, I feel that she came for King Yan." ”

This Zhao Xu could guess, and said with a calm smile: "What exactly did you say, I'll listen to the little lady's retelling." ”

Concubine Zhu thought for a moment and said, "The Empress Dowager said for half an hour, intermittently, I didn't remember everything, I will tell you what I remember......"

Zhao Xu nodded while listening, Concubine Zhu has always been very afraid of Empress Dowager Gao, and she can't remember much when she is nervous, and when Concubine Zhu finishes speaking, Zhao Xu said: "Well, I'll deal with it, don't worry about it." ”

Concubine Zhu was not worried, looked at Zhao Xu, and said softly: "Official, King Yan is the last son of the Empress Dowager." ”

Zhao Xu nodded and said with a smile: "Little mother, let someone go to Cining Hall to spread the word later, just say that I don't mean that, please rest assured." ”

When Concubine Zhu heard this, she had a relieved expression on her face, and immediately stood up happily and shouted inside, "Are you ready?" Hurry up and bring it up, the official family is hungry......"

When Zhao Xu saw it, he smiled knowingly. It seems that Empress Dowager Gao did not do anything drastic.

Soon the dishes came up, and Zhao Xu and Concubine Zhu were eating and chatting.

Concubine Zhu was very worried about Zhao Ru, and when she mentioned him, her face was full of worry, and she stopped talking.

Zhao Xu tried his best to appease, and also showed the letter written back by Zhao Qi to Concubine Zhu.

By this time, the chapter had already been deployed.

Xie Lin and the others are very grateful, thanks to Zhao Xu for his leniency, the grace of not killing, and the sworn rehabilitation. A group of people left the Privy Council wiping away from tears, rejoicing in the aftermath of the catastrophe.

Huang Lu walked out of the blue-tiled house with a solemn face, and came to the Xuande Gate with a task, and faced dozens of imperial historians and other officials of various grades and non-grades.

Huang Lu is a close confidant of Zhang Dian, which is well known, and when he saw him out of the Xuande Gate, the anger outside the door immediately boiled.

"Traitor!"

Someone shouted, rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward.

Other natural people are even more so, swarming forward.

In the eyes of the 'old party,' the 'new party' is a traitor, a great traitor, and everyone shouts and beats it. What's more, now that it is clear that they want to start the liquidation with Sima Guang, how can they endure it!

In front of the Xuande Gate, hundreds of people rushed in, shouting and killing, making a noise, and the onlookers were even more surprised.

Huang Lu is a Zhongcheng in the imperial history, as an important minister of the court and a confidant of Zhang Xianggong, if he is beaten to death in front of Xuande Gate, the court will definitely not let it go!

But under the excitement of the crowd, almost no one was sensible, and they all rushed towards Huang Lu.

Huang Lu stood under the Xuande Gate, looking at the surging crowd with an expressionless face.

Just as a group of people were about to rush in front of Huang Lu, the guards of the brigade rushed out, their spears raised, and stubbornly blocked in front of these angry people, and kept pushing them back.

Hu Zhongwei's eyes were like copper bells, and he shouted loudly: "Beating, murdering the court officials, that is a capital crime, whoever dares to mess around, correct the law on the spot!" ”

Hu Zhongwei's words fell, and the guards drew their swords, erected their spears, and rushed out in a circle, surrounding most of these people.

The angry officials immediately calmed down, and although their eyes were still angry, no one dared to give it a try.

"Huang Lu, traitor, don't die well!" Someone was not angry, and stood there and shouted angrily.

"A traitor, you can't die well!"

"A traitor, you can't die well!"

A crowd shouted, and some people even picked up rocks or something and threw them over.

Huang Lu did not move, his tone was as slow and firm as usual, and he looked directly at everyone: "Anyone who is from the Yushitai will return to the Yushitai immediately." If you don't return within a quarter of an hour, you will be transferred to Qiongzhou. ”

was already excited, and Huang Lu openly threatened. Hundreds of people were furious, and they were about to rush forward again, scolding and scolding, almost drowning Huang Shoes.

Hu Zhongwei immediately commanded the guards and stopped them deadly.

Huang Xu's face was expressionless, wiped his face, turned around and left.

Hu Zhongwei immediately sent someone to guard, this is Yu Shi Zhongcheng, if he is killed under the Xuande Gate, he will not be pleased.

Seeing that Huang Lu was so Shi Ran left, hundreds of people had nowhere to vent their anger, roared angrily, and wanted to rush into the palace and ask Zhang Duan for an explanation.

Naturally, they couldn't rush in, and Zhang Dian wouldn't give them any explanation.

Not long after Huang Lu left, the angry crowd gradually became a little subtle, and there were two people who quietly retreated.

As soon as they moved, more people tried to leave.

"Traitor!" Someone noticed it and shouted at them, furious.

"Even if you are sent to Qiongzhou, how can you retreat!"

"The world is about to be in chaos, the society is shaken, and the sword and axe can't change their minds, how can a little Qiongzhou be intimidated!"

"We must stop the traitorous party from coming and protect my Song Dynasty!"

They shouted, but there were more people walking, shrunken their heads, and slipped quickly, most of them were people from the Imperial Tower.

Huang Lu had already returned to the Imperial History Terrace, sitting in the main hall, looking down at the people standing in the hall and the people who were slowly rushing back.

After the Song Dynasty's successive changes, coupled with the Yuanfeng reform, the Yushitai has been repeatedly affected by major cases in the past few months, and the Yushitai is now less than 30 people from the imperial history of the seven products.

Everyone looked at Huang Lu's expression, and he came back from the political hall, looking at each other, looking very uneasy.

Huang Lu saw that the person was almost back, so he said lightly: "This official said a few things, you can listen to them." If you can stay, you can stay, and if you want to resign, your official will also approve it. ”

Everyone looked awe-inspiring, and they didn't dare to breathe.

Most of them here are officials of the 'former DPRK', and they have been nervous when the 'New Party' returns.

Huang Lu didn't have any routines, and said straight to the point: "First, the imperial court will carry out a large-scale restructuring of the imperial history platform, and you have seen the restructuring of the imperial court, and the magnitude will be very large." Second, the promotion of Dali Temple, the power and rank of the Yushitai should be re-planned, involving each and every one of you. Third, the imperial court is about to reshape the discipline of the imperial court, and the Imperial Historical Observatory, as the leading yamen to maintain the discipline and law, should fulfill its duties and not exceed half a step! Fourth, there have been many cases of fraud in the imperial court recently, and some of you are involved or are being involved. Fifth ......"

When Huang Lu said 'fifth', there was suddenly a cold evil in his tone, and he said: "The great plan of the national society is more important than everything, and those who are obsessed and do not understand will be killed!" ”

As soon as the word 'chop' fell, everyone changed color!

Many people turned red and angry, and wanted to fight.

They are the imperial historians, they have heard about it, they don't investigate their faults, they are humble and powerful, they are superior everywhere, when have they been 'beheaded'?

Those who are the most 'iron-clad' people have not come out, and others dare not dare!

It's changed, it's completely changed!

This is completely different from when the Empress Dowager hung the curtain to listen to the government, the official family would kill the courtiers with a cane, and would be imprisoned as the courtier, the young minister, and all the ministers. They don't dare to offend at all!

Seeing that they didn't dare to react, Huang Lu's tone returned to indifference, and he stood up and said, "Write a resignation letter and hand it to my duty room." ”

Everyone in the hall looked at each other, still shocked by Huang Xu's word 'chop', and then looked at each other one by one, not knowing what to do at all.

They all knew very well in their hearts that if they didn't do what Huang Lu said, they would really die!

Many people were cold, subconsciously touching their necks, and their faces turned pale.

……

Although Zhao Xu temporarily suppressed the situation, the people's hearts were not in him, or in other words, the most powerful force group in the Great Song Dynasty officialdom was still conservative, even if most people chose to remain silent, but their minds were not changing the law, or even opposed.

Zhang Dian and others were busy sorting out the court situation, assigning power and positions, and at the same time laying out the local power structure, and dealing with all kinds of things in Kaifeng City.

Zhao Xu is also very busy, he has to keep an eye on the court situation, and he also has to plan for next year's law change, and he is constantly meeting with the courtiers and talking deeply, wanting to prepare a relatively complete 'law change outline'.

Three days later, Zhang Dian carried out a strong reform of the Imperial Historical Observatory, completely disrupted the original Imperial Historical Observatory, severely restricted the power and position of the officials, and tried his best to compress their privileges of 'rumors and deeds', forcing them to be 'cautious and pragmatic'.

Zhang Dan's action against the speech official once again touched the sensitive nerves of many people, and the government and the opposition became more and more uneasy.

Hebei West Road, Qizhou Mansion.

After a few more days, the heavy rain stopped, and the water level of the Yellow River remained stable, although it did not decrease, but it did not increase.

Chu You came to Qizhou Mansion with 10,000 people from the front of the palace, although it was under the banner of 'support', but General Xu, Yang Wei and others knew it.

They quietly split the Yunjie army, and controlled some of the heads, quietly took them away, and sent them to Kaifeng.

Cai You has already arrived in Xijing, and the temporary establishment of the 'Xijing Imperial City Division' is an ordinary house, but there are already many guards of the Imperial City Division, and there are many torture instruments, and there are also temporary prisons.

Quietly, thirty or forty people were sent here, and Cai You personally interrogated.

It took a day of hard work, coercion, temptation, torture, and even didn't ask for anything!

After the restructuring, the commander of the Imperial City Division held a stack of case files, looked at Cai You and said, "The mouth is very hard, and he doesn't open his mouth." ”

Cai You has been on the sidelines, and said with an indifferent expression: "Such a big thing, if you recruit it, it will be extermination, and it is not strange that they bite to death and do not admit it." Give me a continued trial, and take out all your means! The official family only gave me half a month, so I don't need to care if I kill a few of them! ”
