Zhao Xu's 'verbal' went down, as if there was nothing, inside and outside the palace, there was no wave.

Chen Pi had been staring outside, seeing that they didn't take Zhao Xu seriously, he said angrily to Zhao Xu, who was reading a book: "Official, these people are too much, how can there be a little courtesy of a minister, and it is clear that the official family is not taken into account, even a little!" ”

Zhao Xu is very clear that the contradiction between him and the Empress Dowager Gao, Lu Dafang and others does not lie in power, if Zhao Xu is also a supporter of the 'ancestral system', then there will definitely be people in the court who support him, and the Empress Dowager Gao will not suppress him too much.

After all, he is an official of the Great Song Dynasty, a current and future emperor.

Now, Zhao Xu is a supporter of the Fa change, wanting to become a Divine Sect, not the Renzong they have in mind.

This contradiction is insoluble.

It's up to each other to see what they do. ’

Zhao Xu muttered to himself in his heart, his eyes were still on the book, and said, "Don't worry." ”

Seeing that Zhao Xu didn't move, Chen Pi took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Official, is there any way?" ”

Zhao Xu sighed and said, "Take a look, I don't know if there are smart people." ”

Chen Pi listened, and suddenly his heart moved slightly, and said, "Official, Mr. Su has been sent out of Beijing again." ”

Su shi?

Zhao Xu was stunned, looked up at him, and said, "What is the reason this time?" ”

Chen Pi said: "The government hall is talking about the transfer to Yangzhou Zhizhou. ”

Zhao Xu thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "It seems that the Shu Party can't use it." ”

The 'old party' is not monolithic, it is divided into Shuo Party, Luo Party, and Shu Party, mainly based on academics, and the academic is different, and the political attitudes are also very different.

Sima Guang and others belong to the Shuo Party, Ercheng and others belong to the Luo Party, and Su Shi and Su Zhe brothers belong to the Shu Party.

Some people in the Shu Party have been ostracized because of their positions, and they should have been able to be used to win them over, but they didn't expect that Su Shi would be demoted again.

Chen Pi quickly analyzed the meaning of Zhao Xu's words, thinking that Zhao Xu had mentioned another person before, and said, "Official, can that Cai Jing still be used?" ”

Zhao Xu flipped through the book, pondered for a moment, and said: "It shouldn't be enough, I have to establish my prestige again, so that he and some people can see that I have hope of being in power, and then I will come over." ”

Chen Pi's mind was beating at this time, and he said: "Official, do you want to use the Kai Dynasty to do something for some people to see?" ”

Zhao Xu raised his eyes to look at him and said with a smile: "That's good, learn to draw inferences." ”

Chen Pi smiled awkwardly and said, "It's not something that the official family mentions, but only the villain understands." ”

Zhao Xu glanced at the forbidden army outside, his eyes lit up slightly, and he got up and said, "Let's go, bow down." By the way, what about Zhao Ji? ”

Chen Pi hurriedly followed and said, "His Royal Highness Eleventh said that he was going to see Mr. Su off and go to Su Mansion." ”

Zhao Xu laughed and said, "This little bastard still has a conscience." ”

Zhao Xu walked out of the study and summoned Chu You and others, wanting to bow.

As a result, Chu You didn't agree, saying that 'the task is in the body, and he doesn't dare to slack off'.

Zhao Xu smacked his lips, and by him, he called Liu Heng and a group of other people, and added more than a dozen unfamiliar ones to form two teams.

Zhao Xu played tactics again, and defeated the opposing side, and the Yellow Gate, palace maids, and guards who were watching around applauded loudly.

After only kicking for half an hour, Zhao Xu found out the problem, these forbidden troops are really weak, only half an hour, all of them are panting, sweating profusely, as if they can't run, if it weren't for Zhao Xu, I'm afraid they would have fallen to the ground long ago.

Zhao Xu saw that they couldn't kick, so he had to stop, took the towel, wiped his sweat and walked inside, and said, "Chu You, what is the state of the forbidden army now, is there no training?" ”

Chu You listened, his expression tightened, and he said, "The minister must strengthen the training of the forbidden army in the palace!" ”

Zhao Xu saw that he would be mistaken, waved his hand, sat down on the steps, and said, "Tell me, what's going on with the forbidden army now?" ”

Chu You was stunned for a moment, then he understood, and said: "Back to the official's house, there are currently 100,000 Beijing forbidden troops in Kaifeng, distributed in Sanya, most of them are selected from the Xiang army, and there are also ministers and other ministers, and there are many more. ”

The army of the Song Dynasty was divided into many types, such as the forbidden army and the box army, but the forbidden army was almost a general term, and the Beijing forbidden army was the forbidden army stationed in Kaifeng, Tokyo.

Zhao Xu listened to Chu You's words and said suspiciously: "Didn't you say that there are 800,000?" ”

Chu You knew that Zhao Xu didn't understand this, so he sorted out his thoughts a little, and said: "The official family, after many years of fighting with Xia and Liao, the forbidden army has suffered great losses, and so has the Xiang army, plus the forbidden army has been transferred back and forth, and many things have been ruined. During the time of Emperor Shenzong, he also did a purge and reduction. ”

Zhao Xu analyzed the taste from Chu You's words, in short, the forbidden army of the Song Dynasty had been eroded. In addition to the flaws in the system, there should also be corruption under extravagance, which led to the corruption of the forbidden army and the lack of training.

No wonder when Jingkang was in trouble, the Jin soldiers were like broken bamboos, and Kaifeng City was vulnerable! Such an army, let alone fighting, defending the city, even if it escapes, it can't run far!

Zhao Xu pondered in his heart that the military balance of the Song Dynasty was particularly serious, in addition to the so-called 'generals do not know soldiers, soldiers do not know generals', there are also management staggered.

Military power is divided into 'three ya' and 'privy council', with mutual checks and balances and various kinds of bargains, inefficiency, and almost all the time of internal strife.

Zhao Xu thought for a while and shook his head, for the time being, he can't meddle in military affairs, otherwise he will be forced inside and outside the palace, and under the joint rebound, it is really possible to abolish him as the emperor.

Suddenly remembering what Chu You said about training, Zhao Xu stood up and said, "I'll write you a training manual later, you can try it, and we'll discuss it if there is a problem." ”

Chu You didn't expect Zhao Xu to write about training, so he was stunned, and raised his hand without objection and said, "Yes." ”

Zhao Xu said, went straight to the study, began to pick up the pen, carefully recalled, and slowly wrote.

This thing was very troublesome to write, and from time to time he thought of something else, and he took four or five texts, densely packed, and wrote I don't know how much.

It wasn't until it was dark that Chen Pi came to palm the lamp, and Zhao Xu stopped his sore wrist, looked at the text on the table, and the ink that didn't dry, and said to himself: "I have to rearrange it, tell Chu You, I will give it to him in a few days." ”

Chen Pi responded, and continued: "Official, do you want to eat?" ”

Zhao Xu snorted, and then said, "Is there any movement outside?" ”

Chen Pi said: "No, after Meng Tang went to Cining Palace, he saw Meng Meiren again, and then left the palace." ”

Now the palace gate is full of Zhao Xu's people, and no one can hide it from Zhao Xu when they enter or leave, and the same is true for Meng Tang when he enters the palace.

Thinking of Meng Meiren, the famous Empress Meng in history, Zhao Xu recalled the past with her, and probably felt that this woman was very introverted, not much to say, not to do much, to be courteous, and to be strict with herself.

Zhao Xu habitually pinched his earlobe with his right hand, and said for a moment: "In a few days, I want to meet Meng Meiren." ”

Because of his 'illness', he hasn't called the harem attendants for a long time.

Chen Pi immediately said: "Yes, the villain will arrange it." ”

Zhao Xu looked outside, got up and moved, and said, "Don't do anything tomorrow, come with me to greet my grandmother early in the morning." ”

Chen Pideng's scalp was numb, and his eyes were a little panicked: "Guanjia, do you really want to go?" ”

What are the officials doing here? How will the Empress Dowager react?

If the two don't say a word, will something unpredictable happen?

Zhao Xu looked at his expression, smiled, and said, "What do you think, go and prepare." ”

Although the Song Dynasty often had the harem curtain to listen to the government, there were also some things that would not and could not happen. For example, Zhao Xu and Empress Dowager Gao openly tore their faces, which will never happen!

Either Zhao Xu was abolished by the 'true crime', or one party took the initiative to give in. Those ministers in the political hall will never allow such a thing as a royal firefight!

Chen Pi was still very nervous and accompanied Zhao Xu out of the study.
