Everyone can see that Zhao Xu and Zhang Dian are singing a double reed, and the shock of the government and the opposition can be imagined, and there was no such big movement in the Yuanfeng reform of the Shenzong Dynasty back then!

Directly abolishing the three provinces and the three divisions of the yamen, this is trampling the ancestral system under the soles of the feet and tearing it to pieces!

The Empress Dowager Gao in the palace scolded angrily in the Cining Palace, looking for Zhao Xu, in this case, how could Zhao Xu go?

Officials at all levels outside the palace may have carried out a fierce attack on Su Song, Zhang Dian, and Cai Bian on this recital, perhaps out of order to maintain the ancestral system, or for their own sake, which is unprecedented!

In just half a day, more than 90 letters were received in the political hall, all of which were impeachment notes for Su Song, Zhang Dan, and Cai Bian!

Some of the old princes, county princes, Shenzong, and old ministers of the Yingzong period couldn't sit still, and they entered the palace one after another, asking to see the Empress Dowager Gao and Zhao Xu.

Empress Dowager Gao, Zhao Xu naturally wouldn't let them see it, so she endured it and saw three waves in person, and her intuition was dizzy, so she hid and disappeared.

I really couldn't hide, at the end of June, Zhao Xu quietly left the palace directly and went to Zong Ze's military camp outside the city.

In less than a month, Zong Ze has become less bookish and more decisive and capable.

Zong Ze accompanied Zhao Xu, inspected the barracks, and constantly introduced: "Your Majesty, at present, Xu Shangshu and his ministers have recruited 3,000 people, with a clean family background, strong and healthy, and they can go to the battlefield after training for half a year......

Zhao Xu looked up, and a group of soldiers not far away were shouting loudly, slashing at the wooden stakes one by one.

Zhao Xu observed carefully for a while and said, "Not bad." Training should be strengthened, I have seen your training methods before, and I have added some of my thoughts, in Tong Guan, you will study them carefully later. ”

Zong Ze has always acted neatly, and when he heard this, he glanced at Tong Guan, who was tall and tall, and didn't care, and then said: "Your Majesty, at present, there are not many van troops we can choose around Kaifeng City, and we have no right to mobilize the forbidden army, so we have to find ways to ...... from other ways."

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "I'll figure out a way for this." Armaments, grain and grass, and Xu Shangshu will be arranged, and the military department has taken over all the logistics of the war, which goes without saying. What I want to tell you is that you need to move faster, and there is no time to wait. In addition to you, there is also a cavalry of at least 10,000 men and an army of at least 5,000 firearms in my plan. ”

Zong Ze was solemn and immediately said: "The minister will obey the will." ”

Zhao Xu waved the folding fan in his hand, looked at the increasingly hot weather, silently estimated the time, and said: "You are relatively hidden here, I didn't inform the Sanya and the Privy Council, continue to keep a low profile in the future, I will let the front of the palace cover for you......"

Zong Ze didn't ask anything else, followed Zhao Xu's side, and said, "Yes." ”

This camp is not too big, Zhao Xu walked around, talked with Zong Ze, and explained various things.

In the evening, Zhao Xu stayed in the camp and had dinner with Zong Ze and a group of soldiers.

Zhao Xu walked around for a day, approachable, one of them held a bowl, and asked Zhao Xu with the courage to ask: "Your Majesty, it is said that there is a disturbance in the city?" ”

Zong Ze glanced at him, and the soldier immediately shrank his head.

Seeing this, Zhao Xu shook his chopsticks, pinched a piece of meat, and said with a smile: "There is nothing that can't be asked, I want to make some reforms, and the courtiers don't agree, no, I will hide out." ”

The soldier nodded again and again, not daring to say more.

Zhao Xu's eyes flashed in surprise, although Zong Ze was in his early thirties, after all, he was all dressed in white before, and in this short period of time, he had such great prestige?

Zhao Xu thought for a while, turned to Tong Guan who was standing, and said, "You stay in the barracks for the time being, take a good look at it, see everything, if there is any trouble, don't interfere indiscriminately, the fox is fake and the tiger is mighty." ”

Tong Guan looked startled, and hurriedly lowered his head, and said in a calm voice: "The villain obeys the order." ”

Zong Ze was stunned, and a group of soldiers were also shocked, what does Your Majesty the Emperor mean by this?

Zhao Xu didn't care what these people thought in their hearts, and said with a smile: "The food here is good, I will come often." ”

Zong Ze didn't dare to think about it, with the big yellow gate in the palace, he could indeed withstand a lot of trouble.

Zhao Xu stayed in the barracks for three days, eating and living with the soldiers, with the same schedule and rest, except for no training, basically the same.

Tong Guan quickly integrated into it, chatted with Zong Ze for a long time from time to time, and even participated in the training of the army.

Zhao Xu watched from the side and did not make a sound.

On the fourth day, Zhao Xu finally couldn't stay any longer - something happened in Kaifeng City.

After Zhao Xu rushed back to the city, he came to the front of Zhang Dan's mansion.

I saw that this place was already in ruins, and at least 20 rooms were burned around.

The family members of Zhangfu are cleaning up, and the officials of Kaifeng Mansion are also helping, asking around for something.

Zhao Xu returned to Beijing with a large group of people, and there was no cover-up, just standing in front of the door of Zhangfu.

Han Zongdao, the governor of Kaifeng Mansion, hurriedly came, saluted with a solemn face, and said, "See the official family." ”

The folding fan in Zhao Xu's hand slapped lightly on his hand, his face was expressionless, his eyes were full of coldness, and he said, "Have you found out who it is?" ”

Han Zongdao glanced at the guards standing behind Zhao Xu, with a calm face, and said: "Back to the official's house, it happened last night, the fire started next door to the Zhang Mansion, and neither the family nor the Zhang family saw the perpetrator, and the Inspection Department and the Criminal Department are still investigating." ”

Zhao Xu glanced at him and said, "I heard that you have a lot of complaints about the restructuring. ”

Han Zongdao is the governor of Kaifeng Mansion, known as the 'prince minister', and his status is equivalent to that of the general deputy minister, but at this time, he does not have much confidence to be tough with Zhao Xu, hesitated, and said: "The minister is not against it, but I just feel that the court is a little too eager, and it is necessary to give some time to the hundred officials." ”

Is it to give you time to rally your forces against it?

Zhao Xu didn't care about Han Zongdao's attitude, and said, "Is there any suspicious person?" ”

Han Zongdao bowed, quietly glanced at Zhao Xu, and said, "I haven't found it for the time being." There are too many lazy people in the capital, and it takes time to investigate them one by one. ”

Han Zongdao can't say that there is, and once there is, it will be too much.

Zhang Dian was one of the 'three traitors' who were officially recognized by Yuan Yu at the beginning of the dynasty, and the dynasty attracted countless criticisms and attacks, as if he was the 'first traitor' in the dynasty, not to mention impeaching him, at least seven out of ten who wanted to kill him on the road!

The folding fan in Zhao Xu's hand rotated, and his heart also rotated.

This fire is definitely not an accident, it rained not long ago, what kind of fire can burn so strongly, more than ten rooms, it just so happened that Zhangfu was burned the worst.

"Are there any dead or wounded?" Zhao Xu asked casually.

Han Zongdao became more and more cautious, and said: "There are three people, six people from Zhangfu, all of whom are subordinates, and they have burned more than a dozen people, and there are also firefighters. ”

Zhao Xu's eyes became more and more indifferent, and just as he was about to speak, Chen Pi whispered in his ear: "Official, Zhang Xianggong is here." ”

Zhao Xu turned his head and glanced at it, not far away, Zhang Xuan was stopped by the guards.

Zhao Xu waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Dian to come over.

When Han Zongdao saw Zhang Dian coming, his expression became more and more condensed, and his heart swelled with uneasiness.

Zhang Dian walked over, raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Dan's sword eyebrows were upside down, his eyes were sharp, and his already serious and rigid face was even sharper.

Zhao Xu snorted and said, "Do you have a clue?" ”

Zhang Dian put down his hand, his tone was very calm, and said: "I just saw a few backs, it should be a homeless man in the capital, it is useless to catch it, and I can't find the person behind the scenes." ”

Zhao Xu was not surprised, he dared to burn down the mansion of the prime minister, it was impossible without this means, he paused, and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Zhang Duan took out a notebook, raised it to Zhao Xu, and said, "The minister plans to transfer the seventy-two officials in the capital to the locality, please ask Your Majesty for permission." ”

Zhao Xu glanced at him, blocked it back with a folding fan, and said: "There is no need to transfer it out, 'transfer it to other uses', and vacate the position, all of them will stay in the capital and not leave." ”

Zhang Danjian's eyebrows moved, his eyes flashed, and there was a hint of happiness in his tone, and he said, "Obey." ”

Zhao Xu stared at the ruin-like courtyard of Zhangfu, his eyes slowly narrowed, he opened the folding fan with a snap, and a sneer appeared on his face, and said, "Since it is so lively, it will be even more lively." Chen Pi, let the commanders in the palace out, don't monitor them, let them go. ”

Chen Pi's eyes were slightly startled, and he immediately said quietly: "Yes." ”

Zhang Dian immediately answered and said: "Your Majesty, please use the capacity of the Privy Deputy Envoy to mobilize the Eight Routes around Kaifeng Mansion to enter Beijing, such as the Eight Roads Economic Envoys, Observation Envoys, and Regiment Training Envoys, please allow Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Xu glanced at Zhang Xuan again and said, "No." Give them a heavy reward and seal their wives and sons. ”

Zhang Dian didn't care about Han Zongdao's presence, his expression became more and more stern, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't wait any longer, they can't make waves." ”

Zhao Xu smiled faintly and said, "They are still useful." Han Qing's house. ”

Seeing this, Zhang Dun took a deep breath, his eyes were a little red, and he suppressed the anger in his heart.

The burning of his mansion angered him, and the exile of those dozens of people was just the beginning, and he was brewing a bigger purge plan inside and outside the government and the opposition!

Han Zongdao listened to Zhao Xu's words, hurriedly stepped forward, and said, "The official, please command." ”

Zhao Xu glanced left and right at the street and said, "There are too many lazy people and homeless people in Kaifeng City. Now, I am promoted to the Kaifeng Prefecture Inspection Division for the four products, and the local dual jurisdiction of the National Inspection Division, from now on, starting from Kaifeng City, to crack down on all illegal people and forces in the city, and the whole country will be launched one after another! ”

Han Zongdao's expression changed, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "Official, not to mention the whole country, even if it is Kaifeng Mansion, I am afraid that the prison cells will not be enough, and I have to take care of them eating, drinking, and Lazar, this has more advantages than disadvantages, and it is not appropriate......

Zhao Xu looked at him and said, "Repair bridges, repair roads, and control rivers, which one doesn't need people?" I ordered the military department to raise personnel for you from the Xiang army, I don't like to listen to big talk and empty talk, every five days, you go to the political hall to report the progress. I didn't approve Ma Yan's foreign transfer, and he was allowed to return to his hometown, if you also want to return to your hometown, tell me now. ”

Han Zongdao didn't want to resign, so he hurriedly said: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Zhao Xu turned to Zhang Xuan and said, "Don't repair this courtyard, let people fence it up, I will take the courtiers to see it." Xu Shangshu is in Beijing, you will know when you see him later. Yes, I know that you have raised money, so don't rush to send it out as a hundred officials, press it first. ”

Zhang Xuan didn't know what Zhao Xu was going to do, so he said, "Yes." The minister will invite Xu Shangshu to the green tile house later. ”

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, took a breath secretly, and the corners of his face straightened.

The incident of 'burning Zhangfu' made Zhao Xu understand that some people were forced to be anxious and began to take risks!
