Zhao didn't seem to understand what Zhao Ji meant at all, he wanted to buy a pony to ride secretly in the palace, so he was fooled out by Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji was very excited, holding the painting scroll, and sent the yellow door, and the two nine-year-old little guys were walking on the street brightly.

What they didn't notice was a group of plainclothes guards, quietly following them.

Zhao Ji took Zhao Yi, familiar with the way to the calligraphy and painting shop called 'Shengfangzhai', and swaggered in.

The guy caught a glimpse of Zhao Ji, and he was a little unwelcome, but he didn't dare to drive away the guests, and invited the shopkeeper out lukewarmly.

When the shopkeeper saw Zhao Ji, he immediately raised his hand with a smile and said, "Little brother, I haven't been here for a long time." ”

Zhao Ji didn't talk nonsense, he directly took out the painting scroll, pulled out the painting, and said, "Fifty times." ”

The shopkeeper took out the painting without hurry, looked at it seriously, and soon said solemnly: "Zhang Liutang's snow treading plum map? ”

Zhao seemed to be a little nervous, because he knew that it was fake, and it was really hanging in Zhao Xu's study, and he had seen it in the morning.

Zhao Ji was full of confidence, tilted his head, looked around in this shop, looked at the 'inferior' paintings, and his face was full of disdain.

The shopkeeper looked carefully for a while, slowly rolled up the painting, lost the enthusiasm just now, and said: "Little brother, I have to say that your imitation craftsmanship is very clever, although I can't see it, but I know it's fake, because it's real, I just saw it not long ago." ”

Zhao Ji and Zhao seemed to be both shocked, and then couldn't help but look at each other.

They all know that the authentic work is in Zhao Xu's study, which is 100% genuine.

However, how did a genuine handiwork come out?

Zhao Ji slapped the table suddenly and said angrily: "Fart!" My one must be real, yours must be fake! If you're real, I'll eat it! ”

The shopkeeper looked at Zhao Ji's reaction, and became more and more convinced that this was fake, and while he was amazed in his heart, he said: "The benevolent brother who sold me is eating in Fan Lou, and if the little brother wants to confront each other, he can go straight to it." ”

Zhao Jideng quickly packed up his paintings, turned around and was about to go to Fan Lou with an angry face.

Zhao seemed to follow behind, and said with some worry: "The official family must know that we are out of the palace, so let's hurry up and do our thing, otherwise it will be too late." ”

Zhao Ji was already angry, and snorted angrily: "No, I must find him out!" This is my plan to make a fortune, I must make a lot of money, so that the officials will not dare to spank me again! ”

Zhao Ji knew that the one in the store was fake, so he didn't have the heart to look at it at all, and just wanted to confront that 'colleague'.

The shopkeeper looked at Zhao Ji's back and became more and more curious.

Needless to say, this little boy's craftsmanship in imitation is needless to say, but if you want to imitate, you must at least see the real thing. There are so many pairs one after another, which family is this little boy from, and there are so many precious collections in the house?

……

Blue tile house.

Cai You and Fan Zuyu left one after another, and Liang Tao and Yang Wei stood in front of Zhang Dan's table with awe-inspiring expressions.

Taxation is the most concerned thing for the imperial court, and if it cannot be collected now, the imperial court will naturally not be able to sit still.

Zhang, who has always been hot-tempered, can't tolerate it!

Zhang Dan's sword eyebrows trembled, his face was full of fierceness, and he said, "They are sent for us to change the law!" Come on, please come over to Lin Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials. ”

A scribe answered, and went out to make arrangements.

Liang Tao and Yang Wei glanced at each other, and their hearts were unconsciously tense.

With the gradual decentralization of the official family, the fangs of this hot-tempered Zhang Xianggong were gradually revealed.

The fierce look on Zhang Tun's face became heavier and heavier, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Cai Bian and said, "There are more and more people impeached?" ”

Cai Bian put down his pen and said, "There are more than fifty books a day, and there are almost everything." The focus is still on restructuring and Huanqing Road and attacking you and me. ”

Zhang Duan snorted and said, "I think they think the officials are too lenient, and they feel that we are too busy with government affairs to take care of them, so they kick their noses in the face!" Draw up a list, and I'll send them all to Qiongzhou! ”

Liang Tao was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Xianggong Zhang, this ...... Something is wrong, right? ”

In the past, the Song Dynasty did not kill scholars and doctors, and there were not many people who were imprisoned, almost all of them were exiled. During the Yuan You period, the precedent of exile in Lingnan was opened, which was already considered severe. And exile to Qiongzhou, that is, Hainan Island in later generations, that is the most severe punishment!

If you are exiled to Qiongzhou on a large scale, the government and the opposition must be fryers!

Cai Bian followed and said, "It's not appropriate! We need to win support, we can't push everyone to the opposite side, we still have to be relaxed. ”

Zhang Dian didn't seem to hear their objections, and said, "The news of the defeat of Huanqing Road is circulating outside? Stimulate it from the side again, I'll see who jumps out, and take a batch as a warning first! ”

Cai Bian, Yang Wei, and Liang Tao glanced at each other, all with calm faces.

Zhang Dian is too strong, and he is closest to the idea of the official family, and without the official family coming forward, they can't do it, let alone confrontation, even if they oppose it.

Zhang's eyes were scorching, and his killing intent flickered from time to time.

Many people say that Zhang Dian returned to the dynasty with anger and hatred, and this is indeed the case, he knows it in his heart.

The 'old party' was too despicable, broke through the tacit understanding of the previous struggles, engaged in reprimands, exiled, and forced too many people to death!

When he returned to Beijing, he had already made up his mind that he must liquidate the 'old party' and completely complete the reform of the law, so that the 'old party' could no longer turn over and could no longer repeal their new law!

If it weren't for Zhao Xu's constant pressure, he would have started to exile the 'old party' on a large scale.

"Zhang Xianggong, Lin Shangshu is here." The scribe appeared at the door and raised his hand.

Cai Bian was stunned and said, "So fast? ”

The scribe said: "Lin Shangshu was on the way to the palace, and the villain arrived. ”

Zhang Dian said, "Let him come in." ”

The scribe responded, with a slender and indifferent face, and the tall official Shangshu Lin Xi came in later.

He glanced at everyone, raised his hand and said, "Xia Guan has seen Zhang Xianggong and Cai Xianggong." ”

Zhang Dian said directly: "The examination of the Quanfa should be done as soon as possible, and in addition, the redundant officials should be reduced, how did you do?" ”

Lin Xi's face was expressionless, he glanced at Yang Wei and the others, and said directly: "According to the plan of the Ministry of Officials, there are six rooms in one prefecture, including the same governor, the general sentence, and the external processing of criminal rites, and the counties are similar. According to this restructuring, more than 10,000 people will be cut across the country. If it is a road, the road plus the army, etc., the reduction may exceed 20,000. ”

Liang Tao and Yang Wei looked at each other as they listened, it was the first time they knew that the officials had such a big plan.

You must know that the number of registered officials in the Song Dynasty was more than 40,000, and those who were not registered and enjoyed the imperial court may be doubled, or even several times.

Lin Xi said that the reduction of 20,000 may be more than 50,000!

Such a large number, even if the imperial court forcibly passed it, it would definitely not be smooth at the local level!

They can even imagine the various methods used by the local government to deal with the imperial court!

The confrontation between the imperial court and the locality, according to the current system of the imperial court, I am afraid that the local area will become more and more rotten, and it will only be the people who suffer!

Hearing this, Zhang Duan nodded slightly and said, "Not bad." To tell you the truth, Huanqing Road won a big victory, the Xia people have been driven out of Huanqing Road, and Huanqing Road has recaptured dozens of walled cities, and now, Song Xia's offense and defense are easy to turn. ”

Lin Xi, Yang Wei, Liang Tao and others didn't know yet, they were surprised and delighted when they heard it, they had been worried about it, but they didn't expect the two prime ministers to be so calm and keep hiding from them!

Lin Xi's expression has always been indifferent, and after his eyes were different, he said, "What does Xianggong want to do with this?" ”

Zhang Dian was blunt and said in a deep voice: "First, abolish the three ya, divide the power of the three ya, and divide the power of the three ya, which is the most critical step to complete the reform of the imperial court. Second, Zhang Kai served as a privy envoy. Third, reform the armies of all routes, especially the Ninth Route in the North. Fourth, expand the imperial court's control and influence over the local area. Fifth, we need to further crack down on 'lawbreakers'. ”

Lin Xi and the three of them listened quietly, thinking quickly in their hearts with different faces.

Each of the five things Zhang Dian said is not simple, and each of them will make the government and the opposition boil.

The current government and the opposition are already like a pot of boiling porridge, so rampage like this, aren't you afraid of frying the pan?

Lin Xi looked thoughtful, and then said, "The new examination method will be completed in a month and submitted to the political affairs hall." To reduce redundancy, the officials can take advantage of the year-end assessment to do it. ”

Zhang Dian was very satisfied with Lin Xi's attitude, which is why he put Lin Xi in an important position in the Ministry of Officials.

Zhang Dan's eyes were sharp, and his tone was as sonorous as a knife soldier, and he said, "Good! The official family has set four tasks, restructuring, governing officials, taxation, and land, although they are four simple items, which contain too many contents, and your six ministries must discuss in detail, not only to draw up laws, but also to have specific implementation strategies. We must learn the lessons of the Xining years, this time, we must succeed, and if we don't succeed, we will become benevolent! ”

Listening to Zhang Xuan's words like an oath, Liang Tao and Yang Wei's faces changed in shock, and they immediately raised their hands and said, "The lower official receives the order!" ”
