Cai Bian and Liang Tao looked slightly stunned, and there are no more people in the political hall?

According to the plan, there are nine people in the political affairs hall, Han Zongdao Zhishi, Su Song will leave, and there are only two left?

Zhang Dian and Cai Bian, can they withstand such heavy government affairs?

Especially next year, the 'new law' will be fully restored, and the government affairs of the imperial court will inevitably be more onerous, and the government hall is in urgent need of manpower!

But almost instantly, Cai Bian understood and didn't say anything more.

The revival of the 'new law' requires the unity of the imperial court, and if the two parties continue to balance and fight from top to bottom in the political hall, it will inevitably be detrimental to national politics.

Liang Tao followed Mingwu, and the corners of his face couldn't hide the smile.

The 'New Party' is back!

This time, it's a thorough, all-encompassing return!

Emperor Shenzong of the Dynasty, although Emperor Shenzong insisted on changing the law, he paid considerable attention to the voices of the outside world, and it was not the 'New Party' that completely occupied the imperial court, not a hall of words!

But, now, yes!

After Zhao Xu finished saying this, he caught a glimpse of the changing expressions of the two, and his heart was relieved, he smiled slightly, and said, "If the Qingwafang is too busy, I can allow you to have staff." ”

Cai Bian bowed down and said, "Xie Guan's family is considerate. ”

As he said this, he was thinking about the situation after Su Song left.

As soon as Su Song leaves, it means that the 'old party' has officially lost power, and the 'new party' dominates the imperial court, and the struggle in the imperial court may fall into a downturn, but the opposition among the scholars will be more powerful, and the scope of the boundless party struggle will be larger, more intense, and deeper!

At this time, Liang Tao looked up and looked outside, as if he heard countless shouts.

After Zhao Xu finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and said, "How long will Zhang Qing's family return to Beijing?" ”

As soon as Su Song left, Cai Bian couldn't suppress the court situation, and the court was a little 'leaderless'.

Cai Bian said: "Back to the official's house, Zhang Zihou sent a letter to the political affairs hall, and he is expected to return to Beijing in mid-April. ”

This is similar to Zhao Xu's estimate, nodded slightly, and said, "During this time, I have to work hard for Cai Qing's family." ”

Zhang Dian still has more than ten days to return to Beijing, Su Song will inevitably boil when he leaves, and Cai Bian, as the only prime minister in Beijing, will face such a big wave alone.

"The affairs of the ministers are not hard work." Cai Bian said. He knew that he couldn't suppress the situation, so his expression was extremely solemn.

Zhao Xu smiled, Zhang Dian was not there, but he was there; Cai Bian can't suppress the court, but he can!

After talking for a while, Zhao Xu asked people to send these things to the household department, and after Cai Bian and Liang Tao left, they sat alone for a while, and then went to Cining Palace.

Empress Dowager Gao was still asleep, but her face was not sickly, but a little ruddy.

Zhao Xu sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the Empress Dowager Gao's expression, and his heart was somewhat complicated.

Zhou He stood beside Zhao Xu, he had followed the Empress Dowager Gao for many years, the master and servant were deeply affectionate, plus there was a sense of guilt, and his face was full of worry.

The imperial doctor bowed down, quietly wiped the cold sweat on his head with some trepidation, and said: "Official, the reason why Niangniang is asleep is due to her calm mind, the illness is not serious, and she can wake up at any time." ”

Zhao Xu frowned, groaned, and said, "Is it, it is possible...... Can't wake up......"

Zhao Xu didn't speak, and Zhou He turned his head to look at the imperial doctor in shock.

The imperial doctor was taken aback, the corners of his mouth trembled, and he said in a slurred voice: "It may be ......"

Zhao Xu's brows furrowed deeper and he waved his hand.

The imperial doctor was pardoned and hurriedly retreated.

Zhao Xu tucked the quilt corner for Empress Dowager Gao, sighed lightly, was silent for a while, and said, "Take care of it." ”

Zhou He bowed, his eyes reddened, and said, "Yes." ”

Zhao Xu sat quietly with a calm expression. There are many things in his mind, some good and some bad, all related to this old queen mother.

Zhuang Sheng's dream-like staggered life is really complex and emotionally difficult to understand.

Zhou He was on the side, looking at Empress Dowager Gao, and then quietly glanced at Zhao Xu, looking cautious and worried.

He is the personal eunuch of the Empress Dowager Gao, and naturally knows that since this young official ascended the throne and remembers, the most important period of time has been under the strict control and 'teaching' of the Empress Dowager Gao.

In the eyes of countless people in the government and the opposition, Zhao Xu's harsh treatment of Lu Dafang and others is 'revenge', but the one who should really retaliate should be the Empress Dowager Gao!

Zhou He lowered his head and didn't dare to say more.

Zhao Xu also knew those rumors outside the palace, and he could also see the expressions of some people in the palace.

After sitting quietly for a while, Zhao Xu got up and explained to Zhou He: "Cining Hall is handed over to you, if grandmother wakes up, notify me as soon as possible." ”

"Yes." Zhou He tried his best to keep his calm words.

Zhao Xu looked at it again and left the Cining Palace.

As soon as he came out of the Cining Palace, Chen Pi rushed over and said, "The official, the concubine Niangniang sent someone to ask, is the dinner going to the Qingshou Hall or the Renming Palace?" ”

Zhao Xu said: "Tong Guan is gone? ”

Chen Pi followed Zhao Xu's side, and replied as he walked: "Yes." There was some situation on Jingdong Road, and he hurried back. ”

Tong Guan is now coordinating the suppression of the bandit army, cooperating with the 'Fangtian Equal Tax Law' in all roads in the north to eliminate local bandits.

Although this anti-bandit army is only temporary and is not included in the 'forbidden army,' it still arouses some criticism from the government and the opposition.

How can the internal prison sit in the army?

Zhao Xu ignored these voices, walked straight, and said, "Well, in the evening, please invite Xu Shangshu from the military department to come into the palace to accompany me for dinner." ”

Chen Pi said: "The official family, I also made an appointment with Su Xianggong in the evening." ”

Zhao Xu sighed, remembered, shook his head, and said, "There are too many things to forget." Tell the little lady, saint, I won't go tonight. Xu Shangshu, please go to the confidential room tomorrow, I want to talk to them again. ”

"Yes." Chen Pi responded. glanced up at Zhao Xu's side face, and the corners of his face moved.

The busiest person in the Great Song Dynasty is probably this official family.

Zhao Xu returned to the Vertical Arch Hall and continued to deal with government affairs.

Until the evening, Zhao Xu shook his sore arm, looked up at the sky outside, and saw that there was still some time before dinner, so he took out a codex, looked at it, picked up the pen, and continued to write.

'The key to development lies in transportation, and now the official road and transportation are no longer enough to cope with the current economic development...... I probably remember the cement, but I still have to conduct rigorous experiments, and I have to go to the laboratory over there......

'The main transportation routes of the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, the Huai River, and the canal must be rectified with great efforts, which can not only digest the impact of disarmament, but also ...... important measures to benefit the people......

'The good fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, especially around the major lakes, has not been developed, and all kinds of staple foods have yet to be developed, so it needs to be implemented with the help of new laws, and the population should be appropriately transferred to the south......

"The development of shipping has a sufficient foundation, but also needs to be vigorously expanded, Dali needs to be strategized, and foreign navigation should be put on the agenda......

'It is very important to open up the northwest route, and it is necessary to speed up the development and deployment of the northwest......

……

Zhao Xu wrote slowly, all his fragmentary ideas, these ideas are complex, huge, there is no way to implement them immediately, and he is worried about forgetting, so he has been recording them, waiting for the right time to implement them.

Chen Pi has been standing aside, seeing the sky, he quietly stepped forward, waited for Zhao Xu to put down a gap in the pen, and said softly: "Official, the time is almost up, Su Xianggong should enter the palace." ”

Zhao Xu was just about to put down the pen, exhaled lightly, put down the pen, examined the messy notes, and said, "Well, let the imperial chef prepare, go to the Funing Palace, prepare some wine, and invite the saint to come over." ”

"Yes." Chen Pi said.

Chen Pi left, Zhao Xu wrote a little more, dried the ink, and then got up and went back to Funing Palace.

At this time, Su Song's carriage had stopped at the gate of the palace, and he walked down with the support of the housekeeper, leaning on crutches, looking up at the palace gate that had come and gone countless times.

He thought that there was no joy or sorrow, and he was at ease, but this last time he went in and out, he was still depressed and uncomfortable.

The housekeeper seemed to be able to understand Su Song's mood, and said with a smile: "Didn't the lord take Wen Zhenggong as an example? Why not be more relaxed? ”

Wen Zheng, Fan Zhongyan's nickname.

Su Song sighed and said, "Wen Zhenggong was just talking about ** back then, but now, who can be calm as usual?" You wait for me here, the official family probably has nothing to say to me, and it will come out soon, which is the last bit of decency. ”

The housekeeper looked slightly startled, and hurriedly said, "Lord, don't think nonsense, let alone talk too much......

He was really worried that at this time, Su Song would 'break the jar' and say something 'rebellious', if this was the case, Su Song and the Su family might not be able to leave Beijing with dignity!
