After Zhao Xu sat down in the Zichen Palace, the Cining Hall quietly lit up the lights, but it was quiet, without any sound.

The political hall was also lit, but only in Lu Dafang's duty room, there was only one lamp. Lu Dafang, who did not leave the palace last night, his shadow was reflected on the screen window, not moving like a mountain.

The rest of the palace was quiet as usual, and the outside of the palace was almost the same.

Zhao Xu's will was nothing, even if he personally arrived at the Zichen Palace, there was no wave.

In the small Zichen Palace, there was only the sound of Zhao Xu flipping through the book.

Chen Pi and Chu You have been accompanying them, watching the sky change from pitch black to faint light to bright light.

After estimating the time, Chen Pi bowed down and said, "Official, it's time." ”

Zhao Xu, who was immersed in the book, was stunned, looked up at the outside, and then lowered his head to continue.

The time of the opening of the Song Dynasty is generally from the time of the hour to the time of the sun, which is roughly equivalent to the eight o'clock to eleven o'clock in the later generations.

Chen Pi saw that Zhao Xu didn't speak, and stood up again.

The anger inside and outside the palace gradually increased, and some voices also increased.

After all, the news of Zhao Xu's ascension to the court in Zichen Hall couldn't hide it from everyone.

Su Zhe and Han Zhongyan also entered the palace one after another and came to the political hall. Neither of them said anything, and went about their business as usual.

Cining Hall was even quieter, without the slightest movement.

In the huge palace, no one seemed to notice the Zichen Palace, and they forgot that there was an official family called Zhao Xu in the palace.

There is a yellow door constantly, and the guards come and go at the side door of the Zichen Palace, reporting all kinds of news.

Zhao Xu ignored it and continued to read quietly.

At the end of the day, a yellow door whispered a few words in Chen Pi's ear.

Chen Pi waved him away, turned to Zhao Xu and said, "Official, Zhang Shangying has entered the palace and gone to the political hall." ”

Zhao Xu raised his head this time, thought for a moment, and said, "I remember, he should be in Huainan Prison now, right?" ”

Chen Pi said: "It should be back to Beijing to report on work." ”

Zhang Shangying is a 'new party' and is praised by Wang Anshi. At the beginning, Sima Guang, Lu Gongzhu and others overthrew the new law, and he stood up and scolded and was sent out of Beijing, it has been six or seven years.

After Chen Pi finished speaking, he suddenly said again: "Fan Chunren has also returned to Beijing." ”

Zhao Xu sighed, his face showing interest.

He thought of some things, when Yingzong 'Pu Yi' seized power and pro-government, it was Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu who helped him, and Lu Dafang and this Fan Chunren were driven out of Beijing.

Interestingly, the current privy envoy Han Zhongyan is Han Qi's eldest son, and this Fan Chunren is the second son of Fan Zhongyan, who is known as 'Han Fan' with Han Qi and is bright for a while.

Han Zhongyan is already a privy envoy, and Fan Chunren knows the affairs of the Privy Council, these two people, like their father in history, will be the prime minister!

'Father and son are two generations, both are fathers', this great Song Dynasty official family is really staggering.

When Zhao Xu sighed, Zhang Shangying had already arrived at the political hall and faced the three of them, Lu Dafang, Han Zhongyan, and Su Zhe.

Zhang Shangying was furious, his face was full of iron, and he almost yelled: "I haven't changed my father's filial piety for three years, and the mausoleum of the first emperor has not been dried, and it has changed!" And today, the officials ignore it! The three ministers sat in the political hall, and took the people of the world to see His Majesty's jokes, and they were truly loyal and filial, and they were models for all eternity! ”

Han Zhongyan and Su Zhe were pointed at their noses and scolded, they all looked ugly, and looked at Zhang Shangying coldly.

Lu Dafang was indifferent, still as if he was asleep, with his head down and his eyes down.

Han Zhongyan saw that Zhang Shangying was still scolding, so he snorted coldly and said, "The filial piety you are talking about, who changed the law of the ancestors in the first place?" Righteous words, this is what you call filial piety? The Empress Dowager is seriously ill and can't look at the court, but the official family insists on opening the court, regardless of her grandmother's illness, this is what you mean by filial piety? ”

Zhang Shangying breathed for a moment, then laughed angrily, and said, "Okay, good!" Han Xianggong's good reasoning! Do you have the face to tell your family about these truths when you go to the grave? Lord Han was the heir of the Solid God Sect back then, and he made great achievements through the ages! Now, Han Xianggong, what are you doing, filial piety, you said it really well! ”

Han Zhongyan slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Zhang Shangying, if you mess around, don't blame your true face for being ruthless!" ”

Zhang Shangying didn't save it, sneered, and said: "The scenery of Lingnan is very good, it's better than seeing you flies and dogs all day long, I'll go home and pack my luggage, and wait for your Han Xianggong's derogatory order!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Shangying shook his hand and strode away.

Han Zhongyan's eyes widened angrily, looking at Zhang Shangying's back, his fingers trembled, and he was speechless with anger.

Su Zhe frowned, thought of more, looked at Lu Dafang and said, "Zaifu, what about the outside?" I'm afraid this Zhang Shangying won't be the first. ”

Han Zhongyan had a calm face, was angry, and said directly: "If they want to go to the court, let them go, who stopped them?" ”

Su Zhe glanced at him, and his eyes were still looking at Lu Dafang.

Han Zhongyan also took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. He can be angry, he can scold Chen Pi, and he can belittle Zhang Shangying, but he can't do anything more. Even if the officials in the Zichen Hall can't do anything to him, they still have to have some proportions.

The only thing that can be done is the ruler in front of him.

Lu Dafang raised his eyes to look at the two of them, and said lightly: "Wait." ”

Su Zhe nodded silently and sat still.

Han Zhongyan was also suppressing his anger, thinking about where it would be appropriate to degrade Zhang Shangying again.

Zhang Shangying walked out of the political hall, perhaps angry, and shouted angrily at the door of the political hall: "The Son of Heaven hangs down, and he doesn't see loyalty!" And then he left.

This sentence quickly spread in the palace, and then spread outside the palace.

I don't know how many people are whispering, in the house of the eunuch, the various imperial court yamen spread endlessly.

Meng Mansion, after Meng Tang heard it, he packed his luggage in a panic and prepared to go south to study.

Even though Zhang Shangying's words spread in Kaifeng City, that is, Tokyo, the capital of the Song Dynasty, there was not much reaction, and the Zichen Hall was still empty.

Chen Pi looked up at the outside, turned sideways, and whispered to Zhao Xu: "Official, the time is almost over." ”

As soon as the time passes, normally speaking, it is time to retreat.

Zhao Xu didn't raise his head, and said, "Go, send the privy envoy to see me." Chu You, you send a team of Praetorian guards with you. ”

Chu You almost subconsciously said, "Yes." ”

Chen Pi thought of what Zhao Xu told him yesterday to be angry for him, and his heart suddenly became arrogant, and said, "Yes, the villain will go." ”

Chen Pi took people to the political affairs hall, and Zhao Xu continued to read books for a long time, occasionally sighing, picking up a pen and annotating a few sentences.

Chen Pi took the guards and swaggered through the vertical arch hall to a row of somewhat simple houses in the south, which was the political affairs hall.

Seeing Chen Pi coming again, at this time, with the guards, Qin Bing reported it to the three ministers in Lu Dafang's duty room as soon as possible.

Han Zhongyan was slightly stunned and said, "Official, summon me?" Still with the Praetorian Guards? ”

Lu Dafang and Su Zhe also looked at Qin Bing.

Qin Bing's expression was very respectful, and he said softly: "Yes." ”

Su Zhe glanced at Han Zhongyan, then turned to Lu Dafang, and said, "Zai Fu, what does the official family mean by this?" Are you going to ask Han Xianggong about the crime? Will the three divisions triage? ”

Su Zhe was imprisoned in the side hall by Zhao Xu that time, and he was going to prison to ask for the crime, and the three divisions were tried, but he was gently blocked by the Empress Dowager Gao afterwards.

Lu Dafang's face was expressionless, he looked at Han Zhongyan and said, "What do you think?" ”

Han Zhongyan thought for a while, and said: "The official family summons, I can't help but go, and ask Zai Fu to talk to the Empress Dowager." ”

Han Zhongyan said, glancing at Su Zhe.

This glance is self-evident, he doesn't want to be like Su Zhe, locked up in a side room by Zhao Xu, waiting for the triage of the three divisions.

Lu Dafang understood what he meant, and said in a hoarse and somewhat bright voice: "The official family will not." ”

The reason why Zhao Xu was shut down at that time was actually to deter several ministers in the political affairs hall, so that they could not move and stir up the situation. The most important thing is that Empress Dowager Gao was seriously ill and in a coma at that time, so Zhao Xu had a chance.

Now, in Lu Dafang's opinion, Zhao Xu does not have this opportunity, nor does he have the ability to triage the three divisions.

Han Zhongyan understood, got up and said, "Okay." I went to the official's house and gave serious advice. ”

Lu Dafang and Su Zhe didn't speak, watching him leave.

The intention of the officials in the Zichen Hall to change the law revealed from their words and deeds made them very uneasy, and almost all of them inside and outside the palace were thinking about countermeasures.
