With the return of Zhangdun, the chaotic situation was quickly stabilized.

The funeral of the Empress Dowager Gao was in charge of Su Song.

Zhang Dian gave the word 'Xuanren', and Su Song had nothing else to ask for, and did his best to treat the funeral, and at the same time, took the opportunity to transfer some people out of the capital, or persuade them to resign, which was one of the deals he reached with Zhang Den.

At the funeral of the Empress Dowager Gao, the imperial court focused on 'simplicity' and did not make a big deal. Empress Gao is the queen of Yingzong, naturally to be buried with Yingzong, after the imperial court determined the name, accompanied by various strange titles such as "guarding the mausoleum" and "Anling envoy", many people in the court were assigned to guard the mausoleum.

In Kaifeng City, in the midst of sadness, some rumors emerged, such as that Empress Dowager Gao was forced to die by Zhang Dan, was angry with Zhao Xu, and died of depression because she was worried about the country and the people.

Fortunately, Su Song had already prepared, but he was pushed down just a little bit, and the Imperial City Division also arrested a lot of people.

In general, Kaifeng City spent three days in a gloomy atmosphere.

Empress Dowager Gao's funeral was only three days.

Everything is incredibly fast, but nothing is pulled down, there is everything that should be.

By the evening of the third day, everything was over, and Su Song's belongings had been packed up and he was ready to leave Beijing.

Perhaps it was expected that there were a lot of people who saw Su Song off, in addition to the government and opposition officials, there were also many noble ministers, gentry and wealthy families, they sent each other off, tears in their eyes, and a thousand words.

Su Song sat in the carriage without opening the curtain or speaking to the people who saw them off.

"Su Xianggong, stay, the court can't live without you......" someone cried, pulled the carriage, and trotted along.

"Su Xianggong, the traitor is in charge, and you can't back down, please stay with Su Xianggong......" A young man cried, his voice was extremely sad and angry.

"As soon as Su Xianggong leaves, the traitors in the court are complicit, and all the people in the world have no livelihood...... "Someone shouted loudly, crying out in vain.

In the carriage, Su Song was expressionless, holding crutches with both hands, swaying in the carriage.

Mrs. Su sat next to him, could understand his mood, and said with a smile: "You have also seen that so many people see you off, and in the future, Zhang Dian, Cai Bian and others will definitely not have this treatment......"

Su Song sighed lightly, opened his eyes, listened to the sound outside, shook his head, and said, "It's a pot of porridge now, who knows what's inside...... Tell the front, bypass the main road, and we'll go back quietly. ”

Su Song is a big man who returns to his hometown, even if the imperial court does not let the place receive him, the place does not dare to slack off, it is foreseeable that where he passes, I don't know how many people are looking forward to it, ready to entertain Su Song.

Seeing that Su Song's brows could not be dissolved, Mrs. Su sighed silently in her heart, and instructed the housekeeper in front of her to prepare for a detour.

At this time, from a street, Li Qingchen and Shen Kuo turned around, and while the two were talking about things, they saw Su Song's convoy being followed by countless people, blocking the street, and crying.

Li Qingchen clasped his hands, stared at Su Song's carriage, swept over the figure, and sneered: "This is even more tragic than the funeral of the Empress Dowager......

Shen Kuo shook his head, he had some friendship with Su Song, and he wanted to see him off, but he couldn't send it off with this posture.

Li Qingchen looked at Su Song's dozen carriages, sneered more and more, and said, "I heard that the Su family originally prepared more than thirty carriages, and many of them have already gone out in batches. ”

Shen Kuo looked at the carriages that were wrapped in cloth, and could still see the carriages carrying large boxes, and said strangely: "Su Xianggong has been in the sea for nearly fifty years, and some belongings can be understood, not to mention that he loves to collect all kinds of precious classics......"

Li Qingchen didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and said directly: "I'll bet with you, the various gold and silver treasures he took away this time, at least more than 600,000 yuan, how much less, I will compensate you." ”

Shen Kuo shook his head directly and said, "Don't bet." ”

Not to mention Su Song's more than 50 years of income, rewards and accumulation of various family properties, just talking about various relationships, he can reap a 'lot'.

Li Qingchen watched Su Song's carriage drift away, turned his head and walked in the direction of Taixue, and said: "The official family has been boycotting the dynasty for three days, and the matter of Taixue cannot be delayed, the key is to build a good system." ”

Shen Kuo was relieved to see him transfer to political affairs, he was really afraid that Li Qingchen would hold on to it.

Li Qingchen is the 'radical faction' in the 'New Party', second only to Zhang Tun, and he is basically the one who leads Sima Guang, Empress Dowager Gao, and other matters.

Shen Kuo listened and said, "At present, Taixue is in contact with the government schools and county schools in various places, first integrating these, and then recruiting protégés......

Li Qingchen listened and kept nodding.

With the death of Empress Dowager Gao and the departure of Su Song, the 'old party' was critically attacked, and the 'new party' was in full swing, and they had to take the opportunity to do more.

Inside the arched hall.

Zhao Xu was in the filial piety period, and his clothes were all plain.

In front of him was a model of pure wood, and in his hand was a notebook that he had learned.

This is a 'waterwheel', specially used to irrigate the acres of Venus.

Zhao Xu looked at the notebook, corresponding to the model, and said to himself: "There is no pulley, purely relying on water power, and the efficiency is too low......"

Zhao Xu didn't study this kind of thing, but in his eyes, he still saw a lot of problems at a glance.

Zhao Xu took the model and fiddled with it gently, thinking about how to improve it.

The science and technology of the Song Dynasty is very close to the modern times of later generations, and many things can be made, Zhao Xu looked at it and thought about it: "Ploughing, ploughing oxen, irrigation, water conservancy, and grain seeds...... It is necessary to greatly improve the level of cultivation, and the scale of cultivation should be ......."

Zhao Xu thought a lot, and also thought of Zhancheng rice.

Zhao Xu played with the waterwheel model in his hand, and said to himself: "Can you form a sailor and go to the sea?" ”

There are too many benefits of forming a sailor, in addition to expanding maritime trade and increasing income, there are also wars against the Liao State, which will definitely help.

Chen Pi listened to the sidelines, holding the floating dust still, as if he was asleep.

Zhao Xu said to himself for a while, and suddenly said, "Where is Tongguan?" ”

Chen Pi turned around quietly and said, "Back to the official's house, it should be on Qinfeng Road." ”

Zhao Xu nodded, thought about it carefully, and said, "Do you have to do it next year?" Let him stay and have a good experience. ”

Chen Pi responded and continued to stand still.

Zhao Xu played with the model, his thoughts fluttered, and he was quickly pulled back, and said, "In two days, I will go to Taixue, and I want to see those laboratories." ”

Chen Pi listened, turned around, and took the opportunity to say, "Yes." The official, Su Xianggong is gone, and the political hall urges, when will the edict be issued? ”

Zhao Xu was still staring at the model, thinking about how to improve, and said casually: "Don't worry." ”

"Yes." Chen Pi bowed, and then said: "Xia and Liao have sent condolence envoys, do you want to see them?" ”

Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows, then remembered, thought for a while, and said, "Let Xianggong Zhang go to see him." Let the empty room on the west side of the vertical arch hall be vacated, and I will use it. ”

Chen Pi didn't know what Zhao Xu was going to do, and said, "Yes." ”
