Zhao Xu kicked for a while, he was covered in sweat, looking at the sun above his head, his heart was extremely comfortable.

Meng Meiren stayed alone in the empty room for one night, and went back early to see the ceremony.

Zhao Xu's reports back and forth on the court, Chen Pi, and Tong Guan were all about things outside the palace.

Zhao Xu waved his hand after hearing a little and said, "Please make a decision between Xianggong Zhang and Cai Qing's family." ”

Then, continue to kemari.

After kicking for a full hour, the crowd was almost over, and then it stopped.

Hu Zhongwei grinned, and said to Zhao Xu with a simple face: "The official family is really in good health, better than these villains." ”

Zhao Xu took a towel to wipe his sweat and said with a smile: "I usually sit too much, so I have to exercise more." All right, go and rest. ”

Hu Zhongwei hurriedly responded and left with a group of people panting.

Zhao Xu took the tea handed over by Chen Pi, took a sip, and said, "Has Su Xianggong been here?" ”

Chen Pi said: "No, I have been in the political hall." ”

Zhao Xu sighed and said, "What about Erfan and the others?" ”

Su Song, Erfan still has some integrity, and Zhao Xu deliberately kept them, so he was not implicated.

Chen Pi said: "The Imperial City Division has been staring, and he hasn't left the house for the past few days. ”

Zhao Xu laughed, walked into the study, and said, "Are the others still dancing?" ”

Chen Pi immediately laughed and said, "How dare anyone make a mistake, the transcript over there in the political hall is said to have been withdrawn for the most part." ”

Zhao Xu shook his head, to say that looking at the direction of the wind and seeing the wind makes the rudder, there is no better at it than a civil official. Of course, there are some who don't want to be famous.

Zhao Xu was just about to step into the threshold, Tong Guan chased after him and said, "Official, Zhang Xianggong, Bachelor Cai is on the book." ”

Zhao Xu suddenly stopped, his expression slightly solemn. This is the first time that these two have written to him after returning to Beijing.

Zhao Xu took it and looked at Zhang Dan's first.

It didn't take long for him to frown.

Zhangdun's recital is very concise, without so much nonsense, to the effect that it is to fully restore the 'Xining method of strengthening the army', saying: 'Tibetan soldiers are in the people, Tibetan generals are soldiers', and 'if there is a war, as soon as the order is issued, millions will come'.

Zhao Xu has many scruples about Xining's reforms, mainly because they are too much and unrealistic, and they will do more harm than good to operate, increase a lot of burden on the people, and are not conducive to social stability and development.

Zhang Xuan's 'comprehensive resurgence', Zhao Xu instinctively cautious.

Zhao Xu's expression remained unchanged for a while, and he picked up Cai Bian's.

Cai Bian didn't say much, but between the lines, there was a twist, and there were many improvements to the 'law of strengthening the army' in the Xining period, and he did not want to 'fully restore the new law', but to 'advance in an orderly manner'.

Zhao Xu looked at the two notebooks back and forth, thought twice, and turned around and entered the study.

Chen Pi looked at Zhao Xu's back and hurriedly followed.

Tong Guan has been paying attention to Zhao Xu's expression, and seeing that Zhao Xu is not happy, he sighed in his heart: The official family will not be dissatisfied with Zhang Dian and Cai Bian, right?

If that's the case, how can it be!

Zhao Xu entered the study, took out the information of the hundred officials collected by Chen Pi from all over the place, found a stack of 'military department', carefully flipped through it, and finally, fell on a person's name, thinking about it repeatedly.

Chen Pi didn't dare to disturb and waited quietly.

"Chen Pi, out of the palace!"

After a while, Zhao Xu suddenly stood up and said, "I'll take a bath, you inform Zhang Xianggong and Cai Qing's family, and you don't have to go to the Vertical Arch Hall at noon." ”

Chen Pi was taken aback and said, "Official, it's chaotic outside now, it's not suitable to go out." ”

Zhao Xu went straight out of the study and said, "It's okay, hide yourself." ”

Chen Pi wanted to persuade again, but Zhao Xu had already left, so he could only respond and hurry to find Chu You and Liu Heng.

Not long after, Zhao Xu and Chen Pi plus some plainclothes guards quietly left the palace and walked towards Niuhang Street.

When Zhao Xu left the palace, Zhang Dian and Cai Bian had just received a notice from the Yellow Gate.

Zhang Dian looked surprised and said, "You said that Your Majesty postponed the summons in the afternoon?" ”

Huang Men said: "Yes, Your Majesty stayed up all night in the study last night and needs to rest for a while." ”

This reason is acceptable to Zhang Dan, after all, it is still in the run-in period, and the monarch and the minister don't know, so you have to be careful.

"Okay, I got it." Zhang Dian had the seriousness of a teacher's face.

Huangmen is also afraid of this Zhang Xianggong, after all, he is the master of killing people on the street.

Huangmen left, and Zhang Dian looked at Cai Bian.

Cai Bian buried himself in writing, ignoring Zhang Dian's gaze.

With his political sensitivity, he could conclude that the seemingly normal actions of the emperors in the palace were mostly related to the transcript they had just made.

At this time, Zhao Xu came to a courtyard on Niuhang Street.

This courtyard is located in the east of the imperial city, near the new Cao Gate, and is relatively remote.

Zhao Xu came to a courtyard, looked at the somewhat mottled 'Xu Mansion' plaque, smiled slightly, and was about to step forward to knock on the door, but was interrupted by a cry that suddenly came from inside.

"Mother, is Dad going to beat me to death?"

Zhao Xu's hand froze, and when he looked through the crack in the hidden door, he saw a child less than ten years old, lying on the stone pier. A woman of about forty was standing on the side, carefully rubbing medicine on his leg.

The woman looked distressed and said, "My son is not afraid, there is a mother, bear with it......"

"Ah......" The child cried out in pain, and after a while, he turned back and said with tears in his eyes: "Mother, am I born to my father?" It hurts me to death. ”

The woman hurriedly said that she was safe, and then said, "I also suspect that you are not, but your father does not doubt it, what can I do." ”

Zhao Xu listened at the door, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he forced a smile. This woman really dares to speak.

After waiting for a while, Zhao Xu cleared his throat, patted the door, and said loudly: "Is it Xu Mansion?" ”

There was silence in the door.

After a burst of footsteps, the woman came over and opened the door, looking at the sunny, handsome, smiling young man, the woman obviously had a good impression, with a smile on her face, and she caught a glimpse of a group of people behind Zhao Xu, her expression was tight, and she said, "This son, are you looking for someone?" ”

Zhao Xu smiled and said: "This eldest lady is polite, Zhao came to find Xu Chongyuan and Xu Guanren." ”

"My official?"

The woman looked at Zhao Xu, but she didn't think about anything else, and said, "Then, please come in." ”

Zhao Xu saw that the woman was worried, and turned his head to Chen Pi and the others: "Liu Heng and I will go in, and you are all waiting outside." ”

Chen Pi was a little nervous, anything could happen at this time, and just as he was about to speak, Zhao Xu glanced at him lightly, and he hurriedly closed his mouth.

Zhao Xu turned his head and smiled, and walked in with the woman.

An old man with half white hair inside had already heard the movement, came out to look at Zhao Xu, and said suspiciously: "This son is looking for old decay?" ”

Zhao Xu looked at this person, although he had half a head of white hair, he had clear outlines, a resolute expression, and his voice was crisp and neat, loud and clear, without the ambiguity and hesitation of the old man.

"In Xia Zhao Xu, I came to find Mr. Xu." Zhao Xu said with a smile and didn't raise his hand, because he was shaking a folding fan in his hand.

"Zhao Xu?"

Xu Jiang looked puzzled, he was sure that he had never seen this young man, but this young man's style did not look like he was born to ask questions or go to the relationship.

Of course, he has been idle for five years, and there may not be anyone who remembers him and takes his connections.

The woman was making tea inside, and she was equally puzzled when she listened.

In fact, it's not that General Xu forgot the name of Zhao Xu, the emperor, first, the name Zhao Xu was changed later, and the original name was Zhao Maid. Second, the pronunciation is very different from that of later generations, and there are too many different pronunciations of the same word, who would have thought that His Majesty the Emperor would personally visit the dilapidated courtyard of this down-and-out official?

Liu Heng looked at General Xu from the side and said, "My son-in-law is from the palace, and it is unspeakably expensive. ”
