Fan Bailu and Xie Lin's recital came up, Zhao Xu just glanced at it, and continued to deal with government affairs as usual.

Zhang Dian came once, chatted and went back.

The next day, Zhao Xu left the palace and went to the military camp outside the city, but did not immediately issue an edict.

In Kaifeng City, it is like a soldering iron entering the water, as if it is about to explode.

Several edicts drafted by Zhang Dian have been passed on, how could the 'old party' accept Zhao Xu's liquidation of Sima Guang, coupled with the promotion of Dali Temple, completely destroyed the ancestral system, not only hung a knife on the heads of court officials, but also destroyed the local power structure!

This one is not good, it may cause a big mess and threaten the safety of the society!

As a result, the impeachment tide with 'social safety' as the main axis started again, almost all of them were aimed at Zhang Xuan, and I didn't see a single 'persuasion' for Zhao Xu.

When the 'New Party' saw the opportunity, it would give up and bring out all sorts of Sima Guang's affairs, among which the focus was on 'deposing the new law, violating the previous emperor', 'rejecting the land and seeking peace, and insulting the national prestige', and frantically criticized.

The government and the opposition don't know how many officials can't sit still, but the three ministers of the blue-tiled house, the Shangshu of the six departments and seven temples, the squire, and the temple are as quiet as a mountain.

The three law divisions were busy sorting out the 'new positions' of Dali Temple and looking for candidates for various positions, and Cao Zheng, the secretary of Dali Temple, even personally visited Zhao Hao, the king of Yan.

Yanwang Mansion.

Zhao Hao looked nervous, fearful and inexplicable, and sent Cao Zheng out of the door with a trace of cold sweat on his face.

When Cao Zheng walked away, the subordinate closed the door, and Zhao Hao's face sank like water, and he hurriedly walked back.

As an old man with a long history, Shen Se came over and did not speak.

Zhao Hao went all the way to the side hall, sat down, picked up the teapot, and poured a few sips directly, then wiped his mouth and gasped: "Don't bother with it, my good nephew has been eyeing me for a long time." ”

Changshi looked solemn and said: "King, Fan Bailu is the last prince left by the Empress Dowager, and when he goes, the reform of the imperial court by the official family will be basically completed, and I estimate that the reform will start next year at the latest." ”

Fan Bailu still holds the title of Zhongshu Shilang, but there is actually no Zhongshu Province in the court, and there is no official position of Zhongshu Shilang.

Zhao Hao twisted his eyebrows and said, "Done?" You think too simply, what's going on in this Dali Temple? Will the other six temples be upgraded or downgraded? Will new departments pop up? The water of the Yellow River has stabilized, and there are still 70,000 or 80,000 people who refuse to let it back. Let me tell you, I can see that my nephew is more ambitious and bold than his father! ”

Changshi looked at Zhao Hao and heard that he was scared.

Changshi was a little uneasy in his heart, this official's means were too big, and he had no scruples, plus Zhang Dian and other 'new parties' by his side, he really didn't know what he would do.

"Otherwise, the king pretended to be sick or pushed it on the grounds that 'the clan relatives are not involved in politics'?" Changshi said tentatively.

Zhao Hao let out a sigh, looked outside, looked a little irritable, and said, "This kind of excuse won't work at all, my nephew...... Hey, I can see it, maybe the queen mother used to press him too hard, and he sneered at all the 'ancestral system', and even hated it, if I use this excuse, I'm afraid that sooner or later I will have to go to prison, or even cut off my head. ”

Since his family only has his own affairs, Changshi speculated in his heart that the official in the palace must be suspicious, and he is afraid that he will really be looking for an excuse to dispose of King Yan.

Changshi and Yan Wangfu are one, and if something happens to the palace, he will inevitably be implicated, with a solemn expression, and said: "King, you have to think of a way." ”

Zhao Hao nodded, shook his head again, and said: "You stare outside, it is estimated that someone has already impeached me, check what the charges are, I will enter the palace later to ask for guilt, as long as I keep my posture low, he can't do anything to me." ”

Killing a courtier with a cane and killing the prince of the clan, or even his own uncle, are completely different things, even Su Song, Zhang Dian, and Cai Bian dare not let go easily.

The clan is a pillar of the Great Song Dynasty, and if you open the mouth to kill the clan, the impact is too bad, and it will bury unpredictable consequences.

Changshi listened, secretly relaxed, not to mention anything else, the Empress Dowager is still alive, if the official family kills her only son, it is estimated that she will be desperate, and the official family must have to scruple one or two.

At this time, Zhao Xu had already arrived at the military camp outside the city.

After nearly two months, the military camp here is much larger than the last time Zhao Xu came, there are more people, all kinds of drills are neat and orderly, and the shouts are like thunder.

Zong Ze was wearing a thick armor, his head was full of sweat on a hot day, but he didn't realize it, followed Zhao Xu's side, and introduced: "Your Majesty, from the six roads to govern the river, the minister has transferred 15,000 people, plus the previous one, there are currently 20,000 people in the barracks. These people have a strong system, their family backgrounds are clean, and many of them still have some battlefield experience, and if they step up their training, they will definitely become a strong army! ”

Zhao Xu kept watching, his face was satisfied, and said with a smile: "I often see all kinds of reports, and I have a lot of praise for your ability. Although Xu Shangshu is governing the river, he also wrote to me not long ago, saying that Zongqing's family is 'worthy of a big responsibility', and I also see it this way. ”

Zong Ze had no arrogance on his face, and said calmly: "The minister doesn't dare to praise him like this." ”

Zhao Xu smiled, dressed in regular clothes, walked around the barracks, turned around, and saw a lot of people, before lunch, in the barracks tent.

A group of more than a dozen people knelt on one knee, and Zong Ze raised his hand and bowed.

Chen Pi spread out the holy decree and said: "I Shao Yingjun's life, young and thin, I have to inherit my ancestors, there are strong enemies outside, there are worries inside, I dare not forget my ancestors, and I can't worry about the people...... Fortunately, there are good ministers and brave generals, protecting the safety of the community and blessing the happiness of the people, and I am very comforted...... Today, there is a brave army to give the name of Tiger Fear to the four armies, and Zongze is promoted to be a member of the military department, and he leads this. Ning Tianxiang, Deng Xian, Li Hu, Fu Junwei...... For the head of the regiment, Kabu Tsubashiro ......"

Zong Ze's expression was calm, he had already known this, and Xu Jiang had already made arrangements.

But Ning Tianxiang, Deng Xian and the others were excited and excited. is not only promoted, but also added an official rank, but they are not ordinary warriors, they are military generals! There is a future!

"Thanksgiving!" Zong Ze led ten people and said loudly.

Zhao Xu stood aside, put his hands behind his back and said, "No courtesy." I also ask you to continue to work hard and don't slack off. ”

"Commandment!" The crowd spoke aloud again, the excitement in their voices uncontrollable.

Zhao Xu's gaze swept over a person, nodded slightly, and encouraged them for a while, and then let them go.

Zhao Xu looked at Zong Ze and said with a smile: "Zong Qing's house, sit." ”

Zong Ze didn't deal with Zhao Xu many times, and rumors were flying outside, so he secretly held his breath and said, "Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Xu took the teacup handed over by Huangmen, still looked at Zong Ze, and said, "Now that the number is here, the establishment has been basically determined, and there is no big problem." ”

Zong Ze was stunned and said, "Yes." In accordance with His Majesty's will, the ministers will step up their training and form an army as soon as possible, so that they can resist the enemy and fight! ”

Zhao Xu took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment, and said, "Hmm." Although it may be a bit too fast, you still have to prepare for what you should prepare. The strength of the Tiger Fear Army is 12,000 people, you now have nearly 20,000 people, and it is still expanding, cavalry, firearms can make some preparations......"

Zong Ze paused and said, "Your Majesty, these are not difficult, it's just that the scale is getting bigger and bigger, I'm afraid there are some things that can't be hidden." ”

Three or five thousand people, hiding one and hiding, plus the cover of the front division of the palace, the courtiers will not pursue too much if they have any doubts. But the scale of 20,000 people is outside Kaifeng City, and it can't be hidden.

Once the courtiers found out about this army 'outside the system', how could they ignore it?

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "They don't have time, don't worry about doing it boldly." It's August, if it doesn't rain in the near future, Xu Shangshu can come back, and then he will make a good total. ”

In Zhao Xu's plan, the first step of the rectification of the army of the Eighth Road near Kaifeng was to be carried out, and the new army must first have three armies, one step at a time, one horse and one firearm.

Zong Ze did not smile, his movements were neat, and he raised his hand and said, "The minister's decree." ”

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, and continued to discuss the expansion of the army and future plans with Zong Ze.

Zong Ze listened carefully, and kept talking about his thoughts and follow-up arrangements.

Zhao Xu was not in a hurry to return to Beijing, he ate and lived with the soldiers in the barracks, and there was also a Keju competition.

Many generals were watching and whispering.

"The official family played really well, I thought the official family just liked ......"

"I've always heard that the official family has a bad temper, you see, that person hit him several times, and he didn't lose his temper......"

"It is said that the official family has fine clothes and jade food, and the food is as good as what I eat, and I don't dislike it......"

"Just now, I saw the official family stepping on dog shit, and their faces turned white with fright, and the official family rubbed on the ground and didn't say anything."

"Many people say that it is because the official family wants to change the law, so there are a lot of rumors, and someone deliberately spread them......"

"I still think the official family is good, it's all nonsense outside......"

"Me ...... too"

Chen Pi was on the side, hearing the whispering, holding his hands and looking as usual.

When Zhao Xu was bowing in the barracks, the excitement in Kaifeng City did not decrease at all, and it became even more noisy.

Fan Bailu, Xie Lin's recital, Dali Temple's promotion and Zhao Xu's three edicts have quietly spread throughout Kaifeng City, which has aroused a strong backlash from the 'old party'.

Sima Guang is not only the spiritual leader of the 'old party', but also the first hero of the 'old party' to regain power, and if he is liquidated, it will be a sign: the beginning of the 'new party's revenge!

The 'old party' that has been 'reassigned for other use' and those at the bottom who have not yet been affected, especially the speech officials in the Yushitai, are simply crazy, and they are constantly attacked, and the body of Zhangdun's attack is incomplete.

There was a lot of noise in the political hall, and the scribes came and went, looking at the scripts one after another, and cold sweat broke out on their heads.

The impeachment of so many people, they have never seen such a scene.

Jiang Jing walked into Su Song's class room and said in a deep voice: "Xianggong, there are already more than one hundred and twenty ways. ”

Su Song sighed in his heart and said, "I know." ”

Su Song couldn't understand why the official family and Zhang Dian didn't let these people out and leave them in Kaifeng, did they think they weren't fierce enough?

At this time, Xie Lin couldn't even stay in Honglu Temple, so he climbed over the wall and hid in a private house.

The gate of Fan's Mansion was closed, and he let the outside knock on the door like a drum, shouting and scolding.
