In order to prevent chaos, the political hall deployed many forces up and down the Great Song Dynasty.

This time, almost all the violent institutions of the Great Song Dynasty were mobilized, from the Imperial Historical Observatory, the Criminal Department, to the Imperial City Division, and then to the army.

He thought very comprehensively and acted quickly, not giving those people much time to react.

Kaifeng Funai.

Han Zongdao looked at one of the many palace newspapers issued by the imperial court, and the general content was: There are too many ill-intentioned people caused by the reform of the imperial court, and the prefects in various places must maintain local stability.

Zhou Rushui, the judge of Kaifeng Mansion, looked at Han Zongdao's face sinking like water, and said with some curiosity: "Xianggong, is there anything wrong with this Di Bao?" ”

Han Zongdao can be the prefect of Kaifeng, who can be the 'prime minister', and his resume is naturally unusual, and he can't see the content behind this seemingly ordinary Di Bao.

Han Zongdao glanced up at him and said, "Don't underestimate Zhang Zihou, the reform of the imperial court has been basically completed, and his hand is about to reach out to the place." ”

Zhou Rushui was stunned and said, "Is this the newspaper?" ”

Han Zongdao's expression became more and more gloomy, nodded lightly, and said: "At yesterday's meeting in the political affairs hall, Zhang Zihou criticized the local government for using the words 'people are floating in things', and then said that officials protect each other, officials shirk the blame, officials are wrong, and no matter how good the policy of the imperial court is, it will change beyond recognition in the locality, but it will increase the burden on the people and become a bad government. I didn't care about it at the time, but now that I think about it, Zhang Zihou just set up an ambush. I am afraid that the word 'knowledge' from the prefect will be removed from this newspaper. ”

The biggest emphasis on the system of the Song Dynasty is the word 'checks and balances', not only the power of the imperial court is divided into scattered pieces, but also the checks and balances to prevent any person or institution from having too much real power. This is even more true locally, 'knowing' is the meaning of agency, in short, in the whole Song Dynasty, there is no normal 'chief', all are agents! And all kinds of power and positions are also divided, even the prefect does not have much real power.

This has resulted in the fact that even if someone wants to do something, they can't do it, once something happens, they can't find the person responsible, anyway, some institutions and people pass the buck to each other and kick the ball.

Especially since the Yuan Dynasty, the 'old party' has carried out a comprehensive liquidation of the 'new party', and almost all of them have been exiled in the name of the 'prefect', and they have changed positions in half a year at most.

Zhou Rushui listened, still felt that there was something wrong, and said, "Xianggong, what are you worried about?" ”

Han Zongdao shook his head and said, "You will soon know that the place is not far from the imperial court and the emperor of the sky, and the relationship is complicated, and all problems can be solved without restructuring." ”

Zhou Rushui was a little more optimistic than Han Zongdao, and changed the topic: "Xianggong, the official family has left the palace, and the northwest general will return to Beijing, will there be any impact?" ”

Han Zongdao picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "Back then, Emperor Shenzong and Wang Anshi were still restrained, and they could listen to the advice. But our current official family and that Zhang Xianggong have a lot less scruples, which can be seen from the events of the past six months. When Zhang Qi came back, he should have completed the last arrangement of the official family. The government has a discipline, the army has a discipline, and no one can oppose it. ”

Zhang Dian is the leader of the 'New Party', the 'New Party' since Xining, not to mention those with low positions, even Cai Qu, Zeng Bu, the former 'New Party' bigwigs have to rely on Zhang Dian to get to power, which shows that his influence is not lacking in supporters at all.

Zhang Qi has just defeated the Xia people, the shame of the defeat of the five roads during the Yixue Yuanfeng period, the prestige of the government and the opposition is rising, and he is in charge of the Privy Council, which is almost expected, plus the support of the 200,000 troops in the northwest behind him, even if there is some chaos, it can be easily pacified!

The left hand of the official family, the right hand of the army, what else can stop him from reviving the new law?

Zhou Rushui listened to Han Zongdao's bland words, and his heart gradually became awe-inspiring, in this way, the method of reviving Xining is almost unstoppable, and the old things in the Shenzong period may have to be repeated, or even further!

While they were talking, inside and outside Kaifeng City, I don't know how many people were trying their best to clear up their relationship with Wang Cun, Meng Yuan, Zhao Hao and others, and at the same time hide and erase the traces of lawlessness in the government and the opposition.

Many of the luxurious mansions of the past suddenly became poor, and all kinds of extravagance disappeared, becoming extremely thrifty.

……

When Kaifeng City was in chaos and countless people were panicked, Zhao Xu had already left the city, standing on the official road and looking at the north in the Shili Pavilion outside the north gate of Kaifeng.

Tong Guan saw that Zhao Xu had been standing for half an hour, and stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Official, there has been rain and snow in the north recently, maybe the road is not easy to walk, why don't you sit for a while and drink tea?" ”

Zhao Xu looked at the north, anxious and expectant, and waved his hand to Tong Guan.

He is not only looking forward to Zhang Kai, the privy envoy, but also very curious about the Western Army, and wants to see the famous Seed Army and the Folding Family Army, these are all great talents that he will rely on in the future!

Behind Zhao Xu, there were a group of people from the Blue Tile Room, the Confidential Room, the Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council, the Military Department, etc., who watched Zhao Xu stand for so long, still refusing to rest, and quietly looked at each other.

The fact that the official family can wait for so long regardless of fatigue shows the importance they attach to Zhang Qi and others.

I don't know how long it took, but a yellow door stepped forward, handed over a note, and said in a low voice: "Official, the intelligence station is here, and it is estimated that there will be a stick of incense before the time comes." ”

Zhao Xu took it and looked at it, exhaled deeply, suppressed his excitement, turned back to everyone, and said with a smile: "If you are tired, find a place to rest for a while, drink tea, and don't have any scruples." ”

How dare the people behind him, hurriedly raised his hand, and said, 'The minister is not tired'.

Zhao Xu ignored them and continued to wait.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for flags to be seen in the distance, followed by horses, carriages, and people walking.

Zhao Xu immediately straightened his clothes and took a few steps forward.

The crowd behind him saw it and had to follow.

In the distance, Zhang Qi and the others already knew that Zhao Xu was waiting for them, Zhang Qi was sitting in a carriage, standing outside the door at this time, looking at it from afar, his expression did not move, he muttered for a moment, and said: "The main general will call the various roads and the general manager to come forward and meet the official family with me." ”

Almost all of them knew that the Great Song Dynasty officials were waiting for them in front, and they were even more excited when they listened to Zhang Qi's words.

Not long after, General Xu of the Ministry of War, Hedong Road passed through Luosun Road, Xihe Road passed through Wang Wenyu, Wang Anli, Zhe Keshi, Seed Master Dao and others arrived at Zhangqi's carriage.

Zhang Qi looked at the Shili Pavilion that was getting closer and closer, and said to everyone: "The official family went out of the city to greet him, it can be seen that he attaches great importance to us, and when he meets the official family, he must be courteous and thorough, and he must not be offended. ”

Everyone looked awe-inspiring, and said in unison: "Zhang Xianggong rest assured!" ”

Zhang Qi looked at Wang Anli, who looked restless, and turned to Xu Jiang and said, "Xu Shangshu, you are a close minister of the official family, if you are not careful later, please help you turn around." ”

General Xu smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Xianggong Zhang, you have a strategy, and the general is also relieved." Don't think too much about those rumors outside, don't worry too much. The official family personally went out of the city to greet him, and I didn't have it, so it can be seen that I attach importance to you and will not blame you easily. ”

When everyone listened, their faces softened slightly.

They are border ministers and generals, but they will not ignore the situation in Kaifeng City, seeing that the big things are one after another, and even the chief executive Lu Dafang has been imprisoned, how dare they still be lucky.
