After Empress Dowager Gao said this, she took two mouthfuls of medicine, waved her hand weakly, closed her eyes, and looked like she was much older in an instant.

Zhao Xu didn't expect that Zhao Hao's matter would have such a blow to the Empress Dowager Gao, so he quietly waved his hand and let everyone go.

Concubine Zhu and Meng Meiren looked at each other cautiously, and then quietly left.

Zhao Xu sat at the head of the bed, and saw that the Empress Dowager Gao seemed to be asleep, knowing that she was not far away to speak, and waited for a while before quietly stepping out of the palace.

Outside the door, Zhou He stood aside, his head down, his whole body shaking.

Zhao Xu didn't look at him, his eyes fell on Zhao Hao, who was kneeling on the ground, with a look of sadness greater than that of his heart.

Zhao Xu thought about the list he got from Wang Cun and Meng Yuanna, and said lightly: "Several of them have confessed, and your long history is not a person who can resist the big punishment, do you recruit it yourself, or try the big punishment of the Imperial City Division?" ”

Zhao Hao's body trembled violently, his head hit the ground, his whole body was cold, he was silent for a long time, and said, "I write." ”

Zhao Xu snorted and left with his feet raised.

Zhao Xu walked out of Cining Palace, took a long breath, and said to himself: "It's finally over." ”

Chen Pi stood respectfully behind him, and his heart became more and more vigilant.

The official family in front of him is as deep as the sea, and even as the closest person, he can't figure out his thoughts.

How many people he has in his hand, how many hole cards, and how they are arranged, Chen Pi feels like he doesn't know anything.

He thought about it, and couldn't help but look around, there were yellow doors, palace maids, and janissaries behind him, and even the person he trusted the most was suspicious at this moment - could this be someone from the official family?

After Zhao Xu finished saying this, his heart was a lot more relaxed, with a smile on his face, but thinking about the next things more, he walked towards the Vertical Arch Hall and said, "Let the three ministers come to the Vertical Arch Hall to see me." ”

Chen Pi responded, and while instructing people, he followed Zhao Xu back to the vertical arch hall.

Not long after Zhao Xu sat down in the Vertical Arch Hall, Su Song, Zhang Dian and others had not yet come, but Meng Meiren came.

She was dressed in white plain clothes, her face was a little pale, and she knelt on the ground in a panic.

Obviously, she already knew about Meng Yuan.

Zhao Xu looked at her and sighed lightly in his heart.

This Empress Meng is a two-way affair in history, and the reasons are difficult to explain, but political and family factors are indispensable.

Zhao Xu was silent for a while, went down to help her up, and said softly: "There are some things that I didn't deliberate, your grandfather, I gave him more than one or two chances." Just now, I wanted to give him a chance, but he didn't want to. ”

Meng Meiren smiled sadly and said, "The concubine doesn't blame the official. ”

Their Meng family's position has always been very clear, not to mention her grandfather, even if she is the queen, she is actually set up by the Empress Dowager Gao.

Her grandfather didn't have a choice, and neither did she.

Zhao Xu looked at her and said, "I won't implicate you and Meng Tang." Chen Pi, the decree of the government hall, the canonization of Meng as the queen, the ceremony is simple. ”

Meng Meiren was stunned, looked at Zhao Xu's unpretentious expression, forced tears to burst out of her eyes, and knelt down again and said: "Concubine Xie Guan's family!" ”

Zhao Xu didn't say anything more, Meng Yuan was dead, Empress Dowager Gao admitted defeat, and there would be no position in the future.

Chen Pi responded, stepped forward to comfort her, and invited Meng Meiren away.

Zhao Xu looked at her back and sighed again in his heart. That's all he can do.

This is a strange woman, I hope she doesn't have so many tribulations in history, and the ending is so miserable.

Su Song, Zhang Dian, and Cai Bian arrived on the front and back feet, looking at Meng Meiren's sad expression, thinking in their hearts, their faces were not leaking, and they saluted together; "Ministers and other ministers see the official family (Your Majesty)."

Zhao Xu waved his hand and said: "Wang Cun, Meng Yuan, and Zhao Hao, the king of Yan, have all provided a list, involving hundreds of people from the military and political circles, honorable ministers, civil and military ministers, etc., all over my Great Song Dynasty, what do you say?" ”

Su Song immediately grabbed the words and said in a deep voice: "Official, although the minister has not read these three lists, he also knows that many of them have unusual identities, so please deal with them lightly." ”

Zhang Duan snorted and said, "Those with ill intentions must be governed by thunder, and I ask Your Majesty to hand over this matter to the Political Affairs Hall." ”

Zhao Xu glanced at Cai Bian, who was silent, and said, "Then this matter will be handed over to the political affairs hall." In addition, I will say a few more things, and the government hall will draft the decree and send it here for sealing. ”

Su Song saw that Zhao Xu was completely biased towards Zhang Xuan, his expression moved, and he was silent.

Cai Bian had expected it a long time ago, so he didn't open his mouth and listened.

Zhao Xu clenched his fist with his right hand, tapped lightly on the table, the corners of his face were Ling Ran, his eyes were shining, and he said while thinking: "First, the Imperial City Division is officially classified into the political affairs hall. Second, abolish the three ya. Third, the establishment of Dali Temple as the highest judicial body, affirming case law. Fourth, sort out the powers and duties of various departments of the imperial court, remove those that should be abolished, merge those that should be merged, and promulgate the central institutions after formal restructuring before the end of the year. Fifth, the Government Affairs Hall will release a roadmap for law reform before the end of the year......"

Su Song, Zhang Dian, and Cai Bian listened with solemn expressions.

As the end of the year approaches, the end of these rags, and the revival of the 'Xining New Law' is on the agenda.

Su Song's old face was straight, his face was calm, and he didn't speak.

The government and the opposition are well aware of these things and have been entangled for a long time.

Zhang Dan's serious face moved, and his momentum seemed to have changed suddenly, like a sword out of the sheath, ready to attack, he raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, will you change the yuan next year?" ”

Cai Bian, who had been silent, suddenly answered and said: "Official, now that everything is in turmoil, the shock to the government and the opposition is already big enough, and the empress dowager is seriously ill, so it is reasonable to change the yuan next year." ”

Cai Bian's words are meaningful, Su Song, and Zhang Dian all have different colors when they hear it.

Zhao Xu faintly tasted the taste and said, "Don't change it for the time being." Do the things for now first, I've done the above things, and then, it's your turn. ”

Zhang Dian was a little unwilling, but still said: "The minister's order!" ”

Zhao Xu snorted and said, "In addition, the Meng family is appointed as the queen, and Meng Tang will not be punished." Zhao Hao, the king of Yan, did not cultivate his virtues, and removed all honors and official positions. The candidate for the secretary of Dali Temple, after your political affairs hall has discussed. ”

In the clan of the old Zhao family, the bastards are one after another, and they are really rare to use, and Zhao Xu didn't find a suitable one left and right.

Su Song, Zhang Dan, and Cai Bian had no objections.

Zhang Tun then said, "Your Majesty, please step down from your post as Deputy Privy Councilor. ”

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Zhang Qi's appointment edict has been prepared. They will arrive in Beijing tomorrow, and I will go out of the city to meet them. ”

Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Zhang Dian stopped stopping it and said, "Yes." ”

Zhao Xu thought about it for a while and said, "Go ahead." ”

The corners of Zhang Dan's face were like iron, and he said in a deep voice: "Obey! ”

Even if Su Song and Cai Bian had different ideas, they couldn't say anything at this moment.

When Zhang Dian left the Vertical Arch Palace, he received three lists handed over by Chen Pi.

Chen Pi held his hands in the dust, his expression was a little solemn, and said: "Zhang Xianggong, the meaning of the official family is fully handled by the political affairs hall." ”

Zhang Dian looked at the names that were mostly familiar in the three-point list, his eyes were burning, the corners of his face twitched, and he said coldly: "Please rest assured." ”

Chen Pi didn't say anything, and returned to the vertical arch hall with a restless heart.

Zhang Dian came to the Blue Tile Room, sat down in a chair, and continued to examine the three lists on the table.

Su Song and Cai Bian have already seen it, and the two glanced at each other with solemn expressions.

Some of the people in this are Shenzong, even high-ranking officials of the Yingzong Dynasty, and some relatives of the emperor, as well as many military observers, regimental training envoys, festival envoys, and even military commanders!

Their network of relationships is so intertwined that it is difficult to decipher it, but in the view of Zhang and others, all of them should be classified as the 'old party'.

"What are you going to do?" Su Song sat not far from Zhangdun, on crutches, and said lightly.

With so many people involved, how to deal with it and arrest it? How to catch? If one is not good, it is a big mess! It may also be detrimental to the Holy Name.

Zhang Dian frowned, glanced at the two of them, picked up a stamped edict, and said, "Shen Sheren, first announce this will." ”

Shen Qi was stunned, and stepped forward to take a look, it was the edict of the Imperial City Division into the political hall.

Cai Bian and Su Song saw it, and the two of them looked solemn and understood Zhang Dan's plan.

What the Imperial City Division of the Political Affairs Hall does, the blame lies in the Political Affairs Hall, and the officials in the palace are not to blame. Thousands of crimes, political affairs, or rather, he came to resist!

Cai Bian looked at Zhang Dian and said, "The Imperial City Division will use it as little as possible, and the Criminal Department will do it." ”

Zhang Dun understood what he meant, and said lightly: "No need." I've failed once, and I know how to do it better. Go ahead. ”

Shen Qi looked at Su Song and Cai Bian, and turned to leave.

Zhang Dian waited for Shen Qi to leave, then looked at Su Song and Cai Bian, their voices were as firm as a rock, and said: "I know you have ideas in your hearts, but when the new law is revived, no one can stop it!" What the prince can't do, what he can't do, I'll do it! ”

Su Song stared at Zhang Dan, and there was only one thought in his heart: Is this tiger finally out of the cage and starting to eat people?
