Su Song, Zhang Dan, Cai Bian, Han Zongdao, Shao of the Criminal Department, Huang Lu of the Imperial History, and Li Qingchen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the main examination of the current department, and Shen Kuo, the priest of the country, have all arrived.

Not long after Su Songzhangdun and others came out of the Vertical Arch Palace, the two sides were at a stalemate, and there was obviously a confrontation.

Su Song's face turned pale, stared at Zhang Dian and said coldly: "You deliberately connived at it?" ”

Su Song is the prime minister in the end, and he can't hide it from him at all.

Zhang Dian was as serious as ever, and said, "Didn't Kaifeng Mansion not move either?" Was it your order, or was it Han Zongdao's? ”

The corners of Han Zongdao's face twitched, and he said, "My words didn't get out at all, you were the one who got in the way!" ”

Zhang Dian didn't look at him at all, and said: "Talking nonsense, slandering courtiers is a serious crime, and in front of the official, you and I must go to one." ”

"You!" Han Zongdao was furious! Zhang Dian was brazen and really wanted to pull him to confront the official family, and he was most likely the one who left the 'one of the two'!

Su Song raised his hand to stop him, looked at Zhang Dian with indifferent eyes, his voice could not hide his anger, and said, "What are you going to do?" The imperial examination is the country's selection of scholars, and it concerns the hearts of the people in the world, do you dare to mess around with such a thing? Don't you think it's messy enough? ”

Zhang Dan's sword eyebrows slowly erected, his eyes boiled with anger, and he said, "Those people were provoked and provoked by me?" Did I instruct them to break into the Hanlin Academy? The rumors of Mankaifeng Mansion were also spread by me? Did I set the fire? ”

Su Song's face became more and more ugly, and said, "So, you just let them act recklessly, what else do you want to take the opportunity to do?" Say, what are you going to do! ”

Zhang Dian sneered and said, "Why, don't you dare to answer my words?" ”

Su Song slammed his cane and said angrily: "Say! What the hell are you going to do? Otherwise, as the prime minister, I will take your position and come! ”

Before he could finish speaking, six guards strode in with knives.

These are Su Song's guards, and some of them are stationed in the political hall.

Cai Bian's face changed greatly, and he remembered that not long ago, Zhang Dian used soldiers to put Su Song and others under house arrest in the Blue Tile House, and hurriedly said: "Su Xianggong, don't mess around." Things are not unturnable, and there is room for negotiation. ”

Shao, Huang Lu, Li Qingchen and others were also taken aback, they didn't expect this good old man to be so angry.

In the past, the official family suddenly became seriously ill, the situation was tense, and some extraordinary measures appeared, all in order to stabilize the situation, and the official family would not pursue it, but would reward it. But in this case, it is not a trivial matter for the prime minister to use private guards to remove the deputy minister.

What's more, it's still Zhangdu!

Zhang Dian was calm, glanced at the guards, and his tone was suddenly as sharp as a knife, and said, "Someone must be responsible for this matter!" ”

Su Song's ups and downs in the sea, he was extremely aware of the intrigue in the officialdom, listening to Zhang Dian's words, he instantly thought about all kinds of possibilities, he thought about himself, and also thought about other people, suddenly his eyes widened angrily, and he said in a deep voice: "No!" I disagree! ”

Cai Bian, Han Zongdao, Lai Zhishao and others listened to the conversation between the two bigwigs, and they were a little confused.

Countless rumors suddenly came out of Kaifeng Mansion, not only against them, but also against the official family, which is extremely rare. In addition, the scholars stormed the Hanlin Academy, burned the Hanlin Academy, and burned the questions of today's scientific examination, someone must be responsible for such a major event.

But who would make Su Song so firmly opposed?

Cai Bian looked at Li Qingchen for the first time, Li Qingchen was the chief examiner of the current department and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but he was a close ally of Zhang Dian, and Su Song would not protect him.

Those present, except for Su Song and Han Zongdao, are all 'New Party', who will Zhang Dian say?

Cai Bian couldn't understand it for a while, so he still said in a round game: "Su Xianggong, Zhang Xianggong, everything is easy to discuss, such a big matter, let's go to the Vertical Arch Hall and report it to the official's family, we have no right to make decisions without permission." ”

In Cai Bian's heart, only Zhao Xu of the Vertical Arch Hall could suppress these two people.

Otherwise, Su Song's personal guard will take down Zhang Dian, and Zhang Duan will not give in, and if this dispute continues, I don't know what will happen.

Zhang Dian looked directly at Su Song and said lightly: "You can't protect him." ”

Su Song felt Zhang Dan's firmness, he didn't know if Zhang Duan had planned it a long time ago, the corners of his face twitched again and again, and said, "I want to know your purpose." ”

Zhang Duan replied to the question, and said, "I want him to resign himself, otherwise I will send him away." ”

Han Zongdao was inexplicable when he heard this, and couldn't help but interject: "Xianggong Zhang, Xianggong Su is the prime minister, without his permission, you can't depose anyone." ”

The government hall has the power to appoint, transfer, promote, and dismiss most officials, provided that the government affairs hall agrees in a large proportion, especially the prime minister has to nod.

In other words, without Su Song's nod, Zhang Duan would not have been able to succeed.

Zhang Dian turned to him and said, "That's you." ”

Han Zongdao's face changed suddenly, his breath was short, and he said in a deep voice: "Why did you depose me?" What the hell are you going to do? ”

Over there, the scholars were allowed to break into the Hanlin Courtyard and burn down the Hanlin Courtyard, and here they were going to take action against him, the governor of the government and the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, what was Zhang Dian going to do?

Su Song didn't understand either, but Han Zongdao couldn't go, Han Zongdao was here, he wouldn't be alone in the political hall, especially the pilot of Kaifeng Mansion, with Han Zongdao still around.

If Han Zongdao goes, in short, everything is gone, and he, the prime minister, will become dispensable!

Cai Bian also didn't understand what Zhang Dian was going to do, but it was not a trivial matter to ask Han Zongdao to leave.

This is a deputy minister, and it is related to the pilot of Kaifeng Mansion, which is very important!

Shao, Li Qingchen, Huang Lu and others were silent, watching the bigwigs fight. They are not qualified to participate yet, and they are also curious in their hearts, what kind of medicine is sold in Zhang Xianggong's pot?

Zhang Dian didn't look at Han Zongdao again, turned back to Su Song, and said, "You can't stop me." ”

Su Song vaguely guessed something in his heart, but he knew that he hadn't guessed Zhang Dian's true purpose yet, so he didn't back down at all: "You can try." ”

Zhang Dian and Su Song looked at each other for a while, then turned to Han Zongdao and said, "You resign on the grounds of various problems in the 'Kaifeng Mansion Pilot Project', and I will ask Your Majesty to send you back to your hometown." ”

Han Zongdao's face sank like water, and his heart was very angry, and said, "You want me to make way for Cao Zheng?" ”

Cao Zheng is the Kaifeng Mansion Cheng and the executor of the 'Kaifeng Mansion Pilot'.

Zhang Dan's sudden eyes were stern, and he said coldly: "This is the last dignity I give you!" You should know very well that if it weren't for Your Majesty's leniency, your fate would be like Lu Dafang and others, and there would be no good end! ”

Cai Bian felt Zhang Dian's anger, and knew that the resentment in his heart could not be suppressed, so he gradually guessed something, groaned slightly, glanced at Shao, Li Qingchen and others, raised his hand and said to Su Song: "Su Xianggong, now that the rumors of Kaifeng Mansion are flying all over the sky, there are even people who storm the Hanlin Academy and burn the test questions of this department, and someone has to bear this matter." The prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture is very suitable, and in addition, if we can't reach an agreement on this matter, when it comes to the official family, the consequences may not be better than we think. ”

Lai Zhishao and the others got Cai Bian's hint and glanced at each other.

Li Qingchen was the first to raise his hand and said to Su Song: "Su Xianggong, as soon as the lower official left on the front foot, such a thing happened on the back foot, and Kaifeng Mansion could not escape the blame." ”

Shao Dao: "The lower official seconded the proposal." ”

Huang Lu continued: "The lower officials agree with Cai Xianggong's words. ”

Shen Kuo didn't expect that he had been hiding for so long in the party struggle, and he still couldn't dodge it after all, but he didn't hesitate, raised his hand and said: "Prime Minister Su, use private guards to put the deputy prime minister under house arrest, and there is a discipline for the imperial court, please think twice." ”

Shen Kuo and Su Song have the same hobby, that is, 'science', and they are like-minded without involving the government.

Han Zongdao saw that the 'New Party' joined forces to persecut, his angry face was extremely ugly, his chest rose and fell violently, staring at Zhang Dian and Cai Bian and a group of people, his eyes were red and said: "Okay, good!" You guys finally can't take it anymore! I want to see what you will do with the world if you go on like this! You are the rebels and thieves, and you will bring disaster to the country and the people! ”

If the 'New Party' agrees, then Han Zongdao will have to leave if he doesn't leave. If you forcibly stay, you will be completely hollowed out into an empty shell by the 'new party', and it is better to leave simply!

Su Song can't allow Han Zongdao to leave, otherwise not only will Kaifeng Mansion get out of control, but he will also be isolated in the political hall, and he will really become an 'empty prime minister'!

Su Song's expression was hard, and he knocked on the crutches again, and said, "Someone!" Participating in the political affairs of Zhang Dun connived at lawlessness, plotted misdeeds, and escorted to the Criminal Department! ”

"Who dare!"

Cai Bian was shocked, shouted at the guards who were about to move not far away, turned his head to look at Su Song again, and said hurriedly: "Su Xianggong!" Do you really want to be so embarrassed? ”

Su Song can take Zhang Dian away from the political affairs hall, but he definitely can't take him out of the palace, let alone escort him to the criminal department.

This is the Imperial Palace, the territory of the official family!

But Zhang Dian really wants to be escorted out of the political hall like this, the impact is too bad!

The embarrassment of this matter is the political hall, the court, and the official family!
