Shao Chong's position was broken, that is, he simply opposed the measurement of land, and there was no position!

It is neither the 'old party' nor the 'new party', nor is it 'for the country and the people'.

Such a person is the most annoying in officialdom and is destined to be isolated and kicked out.

Especially at a time when the reform of the law is vigorous, there is no position, which is the most annoying.

The 'old and new' parties will not let go!

Shao Chong held the newspaper written by Zhang Dian in his hand, his whole body was cold, he knew that he was about to be intolerable to the court and the world!

Hearing that Lai Zhishao asked him to take people to Gaofu, his heart was even more painful and struggling.

His notebook was actually entrusted by the Gao family to let him go, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to invite fame, just like Fan Chunren and Lu Dafang, he would be able to rank as a prime minister in the future.

Who knew that it would cause such a big reaction from the imperial court!

Shao Zhong stood alone in the lobby, silent for a long time, but still gritted his teeth secretly and went out to take people.

He can't resign, he can't come back, he has to go to the end!

Shao Chong took people away, and the yamen of the criminal department was quiet on the surface, whispering in private.

In the duty room of Shao, he shook his head gently, now the court situation is chaotic, whether it is a person or a ghost, no one can see clearly, only when time passes, can some people and some things be seen clearly.

"I really need to straighten out ......"

Shao thought of Zhang Dan's newspaper and muttered to himself thoughtfully.

'Changing the law' requires a lot of talents, and during the Xining years, too many cows, ghosts, snakes and gods were mixed in, which is also an important reason for the failure of the 'Xining Change'.

"It's still Zhang Xianggong who has foresight and courage......"

When Shao thought of this, he secretly admired Zhang Dian. As everyone knows, this is what Zhao Xu meant.

Kofu.

Because Xiangrui passed away suddenly, the Gao family was silent.

Many clan elders came, as well as important people from the Gao family, including the Empress Dowager Gao, who also sent people.

In the inner courtyard of the Gao Mansion, Gao Gongji and the 'sixth uncle' sat together, and their expressions were solemn.

Xiangrui's death was an extremely bad sign that made their hearts heavy.

Now, with the Imperial City Division staring at each other, it was time for them to make a choice.

Gao Gonghui thought about what Xiangrui had instructed them not to turn over on the ground before he died, now, what should they do?

Gao Gonghua hesitated, looked at the 'sixth uncle', and said, "Auntie's people didn't speak, and now, we can only rely on ourselves." ”

I don't know if it was Xiangrui's passing, or if the Empress Dowager Gao didn't express her position, this 'sixth uncle', who has always been hot-tempered, suddenly said nothing, and was silent for a long time in the face of Gao Gonghua's questioning.

At this moment, a butler knocked on the door and said in a low voice: "Lord, the people from the Criminal Department are here, and there are more than fifty people, guarding the front and back doors. ”

Gao Gonghua's face changed slightly, and he looked at the 'Sixth Uncle' again.

The corners of the 'Sixth Uncle' face were hard, and he had to speak, his eyes were on fire, and he said: "It seems that Zhang Dian is an iron heart to take our Gao family." Let's prepare with both hands, hide all that should be hidden, and as a last resort, give some to Zhangdun. ”

Gao Gonghui was taken aback, and said urgently: "Sixth uncle, if this is handed over, the imperial court will not do anything, even if it is received, it will find a lot of things, and it can't be hidden!" ”

On the acres of land, they forcibly seized and plundered, privately swallowed 'dirty land', encroached on Yongye Field, and even had royal estates, one by one, which could not be lifted at all.

'Sixth Uncle' had a bad face and said, "Then what do you say?" Zhang Dian even dared to move the Empress Dowager, what can we do? Can you get the officials to stop Zhangdun ? ”

Gao Gonghua suddenly stopped talking.

Everyone inside knows that the relationship between the official family and the Empress Dowager is actually very delicate, when the Empress Dowager suppressed the official family so much, everyone knew that if they really wanted to force the official family to tear through the last layer, no one would be pleased, especially the Gao family!

"Let's do it." 'Sixth Uncle' stood up straight and strode out.

What else can I do? Zhang Dian is now a minister, covering the sky with one hand, and he can't even do anything about Su Song, how can they deal with it?

The official family has a grudge against the Empress Dowager and the Gao family, what else can they do?

Gao Gonghui looked at the hateful back of the 'sixth uncle', and his face was uncomfortable, when did their Gao family become so difficult and humiliated?

He couldn't help but think, if Zhao Hao succeeded to the throne at the beginning, would the glory and wealth of their Gao family last for a long time?

Naturally, these are just delusions now, and there is no comfort in the slightest.

Gao Gonghua thought about it, and he could only hand over a part of it first, and temporarily hold Zhang Dun, the important thing is that it should be hidden, and it must not be leaked!

So, the Gao family quickly moved.

While preparing to hand over the family property to Zhang Dian, he also 'laundered' a lot of family property.

The Gao family's movements are very big, and the Imperial City Division is blind and can hear the movement outside.

Shao Chong, who was not far from the gate of Gaofu, soon knew, his face was calm, and he didn't have half a word.

He is now trying to find a way to get out of that notebook, and he doesn't care about the life or death of the Gao family at all.

The Imperial City Division stood still, sent the news back, and waited for the order from above.

Blue tile house.

Zhang Dian is talking with Lin Xi, the secretary of the ministry, and Huang Lu in the imperial history, since he wants to rectify the officialdom, it is natural for the officials and the imperial history platform to do it.

"First, all officials are required to clarify their views on the major policies of the imperial court, which must be clear and clear, and those who are not human or ghosts will be kicked out."

'The major policies of the imperial court' are actually the 'new law', and 'no people and no ghosts' are those who have no position and only interests.

Lin Xi, Huang Lu listened carefully and did not interject.

"Second, for redundant official positions, the officials should be further reduced, and they can be vacant first, not appointed, and then abolished when the time comes."

Lin Xi nodded, 'Cutting redundant officials' has always been the established plan of the imperial court, and the officials have been doing it.

"Thirdly, for some other official positions, such as the Temperance Envoy, the Observation Envoy, the Regiment Training Envoy, and the Recruitment Envoy, say hello to the Privy Council and the Military Department, and carry out the planned reduction."

Lin Xi responded.

"Fourth, there should also be a planned reduction among the alternate officials, who do not work and eat empty salaries, and the court cannot afford to support them. In the future, there must be no increase, and this year's imperial examination must be drastically reduced in terms of the number of children, and the number of children and tribute students in various places must be more restrained......"

In the Great Song Dynasty now, there is really no shortage of talents, and the redundant officials far exceed those of all dynasties, even if there is no supplement, it will not be digested in ten or eight years.

"Fifth, the patrol of the Imperial History Observatory should come up with political achievements, not to go down to eat and drink, to play in the mountains and rivers, today with this garden, tomorrow with that drinking, things have not been done, but the romantic and elegant things spread all over the world, those poems and songs, do really good! Such people will all be sent back to farming......"

"Sixth, it is necessary to distinguish the focus, and the focus is still on the pilot of Kaifeng Prefecture, no matter how big the trouble is, it cannot hinder the implementation of the pilot!"

Lin Xi and Huang Lu looked solemn, knowing that Zhang Dian was going to continue to increase the weight, and went all out to promote the revival of the 'new law' in Kaifeng Mansion, and raised their hands and said: "The next official will receive the order!" ”

Zhang Dian nodded, his serious face receded slightly, and he saw Cai Bian walk in.

Cai Bian held an official document in his hand and said to Zhang Dian: "According to the news of the Imperial City Division, the Gao family is cleaning up the family property, transferring a large number of acres of land, dividing some family property, and even starting to divide the family......

Zhang Dan's eyes jumped, he sneered, and said, "Send a message to the Imperial City Division, and immediately ban the Gao family!" ”

Lin Xi, Huang Xu's expression changed slightly, and he didn't speak.

Cai Bian groaned and said, "Do you want to report to the official's family first?" ”

Zhang Dian said: "I already asked yesterday. ”

Cai Bian sighed lightly in his heart and shook his head secretly. Some people still don't understand that times have changed.

He didn't say much, that is, the Gao family, if it was the Duke of Qi Guofu, he would have copied it directly.

Zhang Duan seemed to just say something casually, and then continued to talk to Lin Xi and Huang Lu as usual.

Zhang Dun gave the order, Cai You immediately led people and directly surrounded the Gao family, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, but he did not rush in.

Cai You stood in front of the Gaofu Gate, looked at Shao Chong, and said lightly: "Come to Shangshu, have I told you?" ”

Shao Chong's face sank like water, gritted his teeth and said, "I said." "He looked down on the Imperial City Division, so he didn't have the same scruples as the others.

"Let's do it, then." Cai You said with disdain. A small outsider, let alone in his eyes.

Shao Chong felt extremely uncomfortable, but he had to bite the bullet and take the officials of the Criminal Department to break open the door of the Gao family and rush into the Gao family.

Gao Gonghui looked at Shao Chong, his face became even more ugly, and he said word by word: "Brother Shao, I really didn't expect that it would be you who came!" ”

Shao Chong's face was gloomy and said, "Gao Langjun, you have gone too far. ”

The so-called 'excessive' is too eye-catching, but as long as it is low-key, Zhang Dian can endure it, such a fanfare whitewashing is equivalent to slapping Zhang Dian in the face, how can Zhang Dian endure it!

Gao Gonghui sneered and said, "What about Zhangdun? He's just a powerful minister, what about Wang Anshi? You must know that Zhang Dian is only temporary, and sooner or later he will be defeated! Also, don't forget, my aunt is the Queen Mother, and she is still alive! ”

Shao Chong's scalp was numb when he heard this, and he didn't dare to respond, so he waved his hand directly and asked the officials to ban the Gao family.

The officials of the criminal department quickly arrested people, checked accounts, and controlled all people and things in the high mansion.

The Gao family is a very wealthy family, the so-called 'seven officials in front of the prime minister', I don't know how many people resisted, and some people even beat a servant to a serious injury, looking like they were beaten to death.

Shao Chong was taken aback, and seeing that the officials of the Criminal Department couldn't control the situation, he directly invited the Imperial City Division.

The Imperial City Division didn't say a word, and rushed in directly, without any scruples, and even directly waved the sword soldiers, and controlled the situation in a short time.

Cai You is not a vegetarian, and seeing this, he directly asked Shao Zhong to write a book and impeach the Gao family for 'arsoning with servants and wounding officials'.

Shao Zhong naturally understood the importance and went to the book as soon as possible.

The political affairs hall reacted faster, and directly issued a document to reprimand the Gao family for 'disobedience and illegality', and the Ministry of Punishment and the Imperial Historical Observatory intervened to investigate the Gao family with great fanfare.

The court acted surprisingly fast, and before public opinion started, it controlled the situation, and further guided and crushed it strongly, which shocked the government and the opposition.

Cining Temple.

Empress Dowager Gao basked in the sun in the courtyard, silently.

Zhou He stood beside him, frightened, and he didn't dare to breathe.

For a long time, Empress Dowager Gao took a wisp of white hair in front of her eyes, stared at it for a while, and sighed softly: "It's really old......

If it was a year or two earlier, she would definitely not allow such a situation to happen, let alone the current Zhao Xu, even the Divine Sect, she could suppress it.

Zhou He lowered his head, his body trembling slightly.

Zhang Dian made a move on the Gao family, he was actually not surprised, last year, Zhang Dian Ke was trying to abolish the title of Empress Dowager Gao!

For a while, Empress Dowager Gao clasped her arms around her abdomen and said in a flat voice: "Hand a word to Zhang Dan, I'm not dead yet." ”

Zhou He was stunned, why didn't he hand it to the official family?

Zhou He's heart trembled, he didn't dare to ask, and hurriedly responded and ran out in small steps.

When Zhou He came out of the Cining Palace, outside the Xuande Gate, I don't know how many people came, crying bitterly and crying to see the Empress Dowager, the voice was sad, like mourning.

And the impeachment of the Criminal Department Shangshu came to Shao, and the transcript of the Governor Zhang Dun quickly increased.

The Gao family, the status is really special!

Zhang Dian didn't care about this at all, but it was Empress Dowager Gao's words that made him look serious and remain silent for a long time.

Cai Bian gradually figured out the taste, and said to Zhang Dian in a deep voice: "The Empress Dowager didn't tell the official family, but there is still room for it." The Gao family, just copy it, you can't kill it, and you can't go to prison. ”

Zhang Dan's sword eyebrows were sharp, he snorted coldly, and said: "Pass on my words, the Gao family is involved in the 'Yellow River Dike Case', and they will be confiscated, and then let Cai You, according to the severity, there will be no more ten nobles!" ”

Cai Bian's expression moved, and he shook his head.

Zhang Dian has already given in and can no longer 'persuade'.

The Political Affairs Hall quickly issued a document and made public part of the case files of last year's 'Yellow River Levee Burst Case', which shocked the government and the opposition very much, and I don't know how many people were instantly silenced.

In this, not only the Gao family was involved, but also the late Yan King Zhao Hao, many people guessed some inside information and did not dare to get involved again.

But there are still many people who refuse to give up, and keep writing impeachments, and their rhetoric is extremely fierce, as if they want to dismantle Zhang Dun into eight pieces to vent their hatred.

These, naturally, can't help Zhang.

Zhang Dian personally presided over the criminal department, and the criminal department conducted a comprehensive inventory of the ten nobles involved in the case, especially the property situation, and sorted out, and the land involved in Kaifeng Mansion was as high as 3,000 hectares, that is, 30 acres!

When the 'Kaifeng Mansion Pilot' was carried out, this behavior of the imperial court naturally aroused a strong backlash, and all kinds of opposition came and went, like a storm crashing on the shore.

Shao Chong was not only not demoted, but he was actually promoted to a higher level and became a Langzhong of the Criminal Department, taking charge of these cases, investigating them, and arresting I don't know how many people.

It's so big outside, it's hard to be quiet in the palace.

Empress Meng didn't speak, but Concubine Zhu opened her mouth rarely.

In the evening, the Hall of Celebration of Longevity.

Concubine Zhu served soup to Zhao Xu, frowned, and said: "No matter what the outside says, I don't care how many things are in the court, the official family, you have to remember that the Empress Dowager is your grandmother, the mother of the first emperor, and your grandfather's queen." If you abolish the title of the Empress Dowager today, not only the current world, but also the history books of future generations will not let it go......"

Zhao Xu took the bowl and nodded: "Don't worry, little lady, I know the severity." Zhang Xianggong and others also know that they will not mess around. ”

Concubine Zhu looked at Zhao Xu and said, "I heard those rumors last year, don't fool me." ”

Zhao Xu said: "How dare I fool the little lady, so let's go to Cining Hall later, admit my mistake to my grandmother, and ask my grandmother to dissipate her anger." ”

Only then did Concubine Zhu relax and said softly: "I don't want to take care of your political affairs, this matter is related to your holy name, this is a matter of eternity, and you can't deceive those people outside." ”

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "I know that Xiaoniang cares about me, so Xiaoniang will think so much about me, and outsiders don't care about it at all." ”

Seeing that Zhao Xu was not angry, Concubine Zhu was also happy, and said, "Eat quickly, it's not enough for me to cook again." ”

Zhao Xu smiled and ate, but his heart was changing, he would go to Cining Hall later, and he would have to persuade the Empress Dowager Gao to make a decree, reprimand the Gao family, and block the mouths of those people outside.

After eating in the Qingshou Palace, Zhao Xu accompanied Concubine Zhu to talk for a while, and then turned around and came to the Cining Palace.

In the Cining Palace, Zhao Xu didn't see the Empress Dowager Gao, the reason was that he 'fell asleep', but Zhao Xu asked the Empress Dowager Gao to reprimand the Gao family's edict, and he still got it.

Blue tile house.

The blue-tiled house is an all-nighter, and there is no time to stop.

Cai Bian was flipping through the summary of the recent 'new law' sent by Kaifeng Mansion, and said at the same time: "Tomorrow the official family will leave the palace, and I will also go to Zhongmu County, here, can you take care of it alone?" ”

Zhang Dian didn't raise his head and said, "It's okay." ”

Cai Bian was still a little worried, and said, "I'll go to Gao's house later, lest they jump off the wall in a hurry." A portal like the Gao family is really going to break the jar, and I don't know what to do......"

The Gao family doesn't have to do anything, as long as they are bent on pulling people into the water, then Kaifeng City doesn't know how many people will be involved, and it was Zhang Dian who was embarrassed at that time.

Footsteps suddenly sounded, and a yellow door walked in, and handed over an edict to Zhang Dian with a respectful face, saying, "Zhang Xianggong, the official family asked the villain to send it." ”

Zhang Dian was stunned, hurriedly took it, opened it and looked at it-it was the Empress Dowager Gao's decree!

Zhang Dian was silent for a while and said, "You don't have to go to Gao's house. ”

Cai Bian walked over and took a look, and said with a smile: "It's still the official family that is thoughtful, with this Yizhi, we can stand firm." ”

Zhang's eyes burned, and there seemed to be anger surging in his heart.

Cai Bian knew the resentment in Zhang Dan's heart, and took this edict without speaking.

Zhang Dan didn't say anything more, and continued to bury his head in his work.
