Xu Jiang thought about it for a while, and then said, "Yes." Then the next is the main general. ”

Xu Jiang's words are meaningful.

Zhao Xu glanced back at him and said with a smile: "Is there any suitable candidate for the Xu Qing family?" ”

General Xu followed Zhao Xu's side and said without thinking: "The minister has been outside the court for a long time, and he is not familiar with the generals of the court, please make a decision." ”

Zhao Xu smiled more and said, "That's okay, this person is chosen by me to ponder, and the military department will do the specific things." Remain silent for the time being, lest they come to me for trouble. You see, I'm in a lawsuit right now. ”

Although Xu Jiang is temporarily outside, he can also feel that the turmoil in the court is strange and in the ascendant.

He glanced at Zhao Xu's side face, pondered for a moment, and said, "Official, the minister heard that Su Xianggong is sick. ”

Zhao Xu walked slowly, nodded and said: "Su Xianggong has worked hard, it is really hard, I have granted him two days off, and I am going to go over tomorrow to see it in person." ”

Xu Jiang listened, his heart was relieved, and a smile appeared on his face.

The official family in front of him is not willful in the end, and he has his own plans in his heart.

Zhao Xu is considering the overall situation of the DPRK at the moment, not only to stabilize the DPRK situation, but also to make arrangements for the 'new deal' in the future.

After walking a few steps, Zhao Xu said: "The expenditure of the new army will be from the inner treasury, and I will send the ministers to admiral." The selection of sergeants should not only pay attention to physical fitness, but also consider identity, I don't want to be the same as the current forbidden army and the Xiang army. ”

Now all the heads and brains of the forbidden army are basically nobles, hereditary, and the children of officials and eunuchs are filled, which is complicated and difficult to say. The composition of the Xiang army is even more intricate, and the source of the Xiang army is basically the old and weak, the sick and the disabled selected by the forbidden army, as well as the prisoners who are distributed, the hungry people recruited, and so on.

Xu Jiang understood what Zhao Xu meant, and said, "Please rest assured that the officials will be cautious." ”

Zhao Xu was still at ease with General Xu, not to mention that he was staring at him from the side, and said without shying a word: "The front division of the palace is basically stable." The commander of the Ma Military Division, the Infantry Military Division, the deputy commander, and the Marquis of Du Yu were all detained in the palace by me, and when the situation calmed down, I would find an opportunity to reform the 'Sanya', and the military department should be ready to accept the authority. ”

The Great Song Dynasty divided all kinds of rights into pieces, checks and balances, resulting in a decadence and perfunctory work.

This is even more true in terms of military power.

Xu Jiang didn't speak, this kind of thing was too sensitive, and he knew that the official family had already thought about it.

Zhao Xu didn't appreciate the flowers blooming all over the garden, and said as he walked: "What the Ministry of War needs to do is to investigate the current situation of the forbidden army and the Xiang army in the country and find out how to solve the problem. This is one key point, and the other is the northwest, which should also be kept an eye on, the Privy Council is deploying troops, and the military department must cooperate more. As for the expenditure of money and food for the army, I asked the government hall to adjust it, and the military department is responsible for coordinating it......"

General Xu followed Zhao Xu's side, analyzing it in his heart, knowing that this was the first step, to increase the power of the military department.

This imperial garden is really not big, you can see the head at a glance, Zhao Xu turned a corner, and continued: "In addition, the army of the whole country has stopped increasing. The Ministry of War should make a strategy of 'elite soldiers', and I should discuss it with all of you. Merging matters such as the state capital road, and also carrying out preliminary investigation, there are many things to do, Xu Qingjia, hard work. ”

General Xu was not flattered, pondered, and reminded: "Officials, these ministers can do it." But there is a lot about the military in the 'New Deal'. ”

Zhao Xu stopped, looked up at a pine tree in front of him, took a light breath, and said in a flat tone: "I will do this." ”

Regarding the 'Xining Law', Zhao Xu told Zhang Dian and others early on that they should carefully review it, not fully restore it, and carry out large-scale demolition and construction.

With the fall of Lü Dafang, Zhang Dian and others returned to the imperial court, and the voice of 'fully restoring the law of Xining' has gradually risen.

Xu Jiang stood beside Zhao Xu, his face silent.

Zhangdun and the people recruited by Zhangdun have a strong urgency to restore the 'new law', and they are not yet fully in place, and they are already beginning to prepare.

The official family is now, but he has entrusted the government affairs to Zhang Dian, and in the eyes of many courtiers, Zhang Dian is the Zai Fu in the near future!

Zhao Xu had already made up his mind in his heart, looked back at Xu Jiang, and said with a smile: "Xu Qingjia, do you think that I am too mean to do this?" Insulted the old minister? ”

Xu Jiang's expression changed slightly, and then said as usual: "Even according to the ancestral law, it is not a pity for Lu Dafang and the others to die, and the official family does not need to disturb themselves." ”

Zhao Xu looked at him, immediately smiled, and said with emotion: "The troubles of this life, nine times out of ten, I can't help myself......"

Xu Jiang didn't speak, because he also heard the rumor outside the palace.

'Yuan Yu Yuan You, the Empress Dowager, the official family ascended the throne, and the slaughter was a capital crime'.

This sentence seems to be no problem, but then it has evolved into many versions, and the most widely spread is 'the official is mean, making something out of nothing, and forcing Zai Fu to die'.

The approximate meaning is: Lu Dafang is Zaifu in the end, let alone dead, even if he is sentenced, he should not be sentenced. An old man in his seventies, why not just force him to death? Too mean, unkind!

Zhao Xu just sighed, walked back, and said: "Later, the Qing family will go to the Qingwa house to meet the two prime ministers, and they don't have to talk too much about Zhang Xianggong." The strong art of war during the Xining period, I still have to consider. ”

Xu Jiang raised his hand and said, "Yes." The minister had already met with the commander of Chudu yesterday. ”

Chu is the commander of the envoy, Chu Yu, and the front of the palace are all commanding the envoy.

Zhao Xu snorted, looked up at the sky in the northwest direction, and said, "Make another preparation, when necessary, Xu Qing's family may have to go to the northwest on my behalf." ”

Xu Jiang said: "Yes." The strongest military strength of the Great Song Dynasty is in the Western Army, and the reform of the military system is inseparable from the Western Army and the generals of the Western Army. ”

Zhao Xu thought more that Western Xia would not be able to bear to go to war again, and this battle must be won!

We must not compromise as we have done in the past, fight softly and weakly, or win or lose!

Zhao Xu talked with Xu Jiang for a long time, came out of the imperial garden, and watched Xu Jiang go to the direction of the Vertical Arch Palace.

Chen Pi followed Zhao Xu and said, "Official, there is some fierce trouble in the political hall, and there is almost a fight." ”

The current political affairs hall has merged the three provinces, and the three provinces are the key points of the imperial court, there are the original 'old party' and the 'new party' stuffed into it by Zhang Dian and others, dozens of officials, large and small, the two are incompatible for decades, and now it involves the matter of Lu Dafang, and it is not strange that the two sides are fighting.

Zhao Xu sighed, thought for a while, and said, "Let them make trouble, get ready, and go to visit Su Xianggong tomorrow." ”

Chen Pi was just about to leave, Zhao Xu squinted his eyes and said, "By the way, call Meng Meiren." ”

Chen Pi was stunned, looked at Zhao Xu, and saw that he didn't give too many instructions, so he hurriedly went to make arrangements.

Zhao Xu stood for a while, turned around and went back to the study, and took out all kinds of materials.

He was looking for a suitable person to be the commander of the new army.

At this time, the blue-tiled house was in and out, and it was busy.

Cai Bian came in from outside, took a few playbooks, and said to Zhang Tun: "The trouble outside is getting worse and worse, it seems that the outside of Beijing has just fermented, and this impeachment recital is more than one day a day, and half of the state capitals are on the books." ”

The 'old party' ruled the Great Song Dynasty for seven years, and the exiled 'new party' went to remote, barren places, and they could go to books so quickly, basically near Kaifeng City, the prosperous state capital.

Zhang Dian didn't care, the pen kept ploughing, and said: "For the time being, let them sort out the court first." ”

There are too many officials in the imperial court, and it is impossible to replace them all at once, and there have been so many major events recently, and the disputes in all aspects are not entirely within the party dispute.

Cai Bian stood at Zhang's table and said, "What do you think of the political affairs hall?" ”

Zhang Dan's expression moved, the pen also stopped, and his eyes flashed.

The impact of Lu Dafang's case has not yet passed, and it is not appropriate for him to continue to move, but if the court continues to be so entangled, it will indeed affect the operation of government affairs too much, and the government decree will not be smooth.

But the political hall is not only the base camp of the 'old party', Su Song is still Zaifu!

Cai Bian knew that they were a little passive at the moment, so he walked in, sat down in his chair, and thought deeply.

Outside the palace, they not only spread rumors that the 'officials are mean', but also put the main responsibility on their 'new party', criticizing them as 'traitors and confusing the government'.

After pondering for a while, Cai Bian said again: "The rainy season is coming, and the floods in previous years have had too great an impact, so we have to think of some countermeasures." ”

Zhang Dian put down the pen, the corners of his face were cold and hard, and said: "Sima Guang, Lu Gong, Lu Dafang and others hold on to the defects, and they don't know what to do!" These people, in addition to letting the maladministration erode and selling their reputation, what else will they do! ”

The 'old party' accuses the 'new party' of causing trouble in the world and subverting social society; the 'new party' accuses the 'old party' of selling fame and fame.

Cai Bian looked at him and said, "Let's not talk about these for the time being, the Yellow River must be managed, and there is no time." ”

The fierce color in Zhang Dan's eyes flickered continuously, and he said: "The treasury is empty now, and the summer tax has not yet arrived, so I will go to see the official family tomorrow, please dial it from the inner treasury." ”

Cai Bian thought that so many family properties would be moved into the inner treasury, and he also agreed, and said, "Okay." I'll go to Kaifeng Mansion again tomorrow, I can't lock down the city like this. ”

Kaifeng City is now almost in a state of semi-martial law, and the city is full of officials from various departments, and there are still a lot of chaos.

Zhang Dian frowned slightly, and said, "Wait a few more days!" Here you keep an eye on it first, I'll go to the Privy Council, Su Song's transfer of troops is problematic. ”

Cai Bian nodded, Zhang Dian is now the Governor of the Counsellor and the Deputy Privy Councillor.

Zhao Xu, Zhang Dian and others were busy, and the excitement outside the palace was vigorous.

The execution of many high-ranking officials was unique in the Song Dynasty, and the impact on the honorable ministers and scholars was unprecedented!

Some people rushed around, some closed their doors, some muttered to themselves, some seemed to cry and laugh, and some seemed to mourn.

The officials seemed to be even more crazy, and in just four or five days, the political affairs hall received hundreds of scripts, saying that there was everything, and there was unprecedented chaos.

……

Early the next morning, Zhao Xu bowed as usual, and then reviewed the notebook in the study for a while, estimated the time, and prepared to leave the palace.

Zhao Xu was wearing regular clothes, with a folding fan in his hand, and walked out of the palace with a pleasant smile.

The Meng Meiren beside him was also dressed in ordinary clothes, with her hair in a high bun, and accompanied Zhao Xu. Her pretty face was as usual, and she was puzzled.

The official family is going to visit Su Xianggong, what is he taking her for?

Chen Pi and Hu Zhongwei were dressed in civilian clothes, followed by a large group of guards.

Zhao Xu went out of the door, looked at both sides, and walked in the direction of Su Fu, his pace was slow, his folding fan shook gently, and he said to Meng Mei with a smile: "You say, we are like this, don't we look like those talented and beautiful people outside?" ”

Meng Meiren knew the story of Zhao Xu's special fondness for talented and beautiful women, pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Like." ”

Zhao Xu was immediately satisfied, snapped the folding fan, and said, "Okay, I'll come back later, and I'll take you to eat delicious food." ”

Meng Meiren blinked, looking at Zhao Xu's side face, as if for the first time she knew that he still had this side.

Zhao Xu avoided the crowd and went straight to the back door of the Su Mansion.

Su Mansion closed its doors and thanked customers, and almost didn't see anyone, but how could he stop Zhao Xu?

Zhao Xu saw the Su Mansion and sat opposite Su Song in the pavilion of the Su family.

Su Song poured tea for Zhao Xu, glanced at Meng Meiren who was sitting with him, and said straight to the point: "Official, do you want the minister to take the initiative to give office?" ”

The current situation is that the 'new party' is coming back to the general trend. How can Su Song, the head of the 'old party', still be able to occupy it?

The reason why it's 'Zhishi' is because one has already been killed, so you can't kill the second one in a row, right?

The world will go crazy!
