When Zhao Xuxing rushed out of the palace, a storm was also brewing in the blue tile room.

Su Song, Zhang Dian, and Cai Bian sat around, and the three of them stared at the spread out notebook on the table with different expressions.

After being silent for a while, Zhang Dian raised his eyebrows, glanced at the two of them, and said, "Sign it." ”

Cai Bian twisted his eyebrows, looked hesitant, and said, "Do you really want to do this?" ”

Su Song was on crutches, his face was calm, and he said, "I am against it." ”

Zhang Dan's book accused Sima Guang of 'being disobedient, rebellious, abusing power, and bullying the young master', uncovered a corner of the 'Dengzhou Ayun case', and picked out Zhao Xu by the way.

The reason why Cai Bian hesitated was because now the government and the opposition were boiling, and Zhang Dian doing this was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

Su Song did not agree, Zhang Dian did this, he might not be able to pick out the official family, and it would even cause a greater struggle between the government and the opposition. Sima Guang is the biggest 'virtuous minister' since Yuan You, and now the government and the opposition, except for the 'New Party', most of the officials inherit his legacy, including Wen Yanbo, who is still alive in his nineties!

Attacking Sima Guang is equivalent to declaring an all-out war on the 'old party'!

Zhang Dian said lightly: "I can do it if you don't agree with me, and besides, when the official side makes a move, you won't have a chance." ”

Thinking of the ruthless methods of the official in the palace, Cai Bian and Su Song couldn't help but glance at each other, and their expressions became more and more solemn.

That official family is not the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty in the past, who knows what he will do!

Seeing that they still didn't speak, Zhang Dian picked up the recital and turned around to go to the Funing Palace.

Su Song, Cai Bian was just about to stop it, when Shen Qi came in, looked at the three of them, raised his hand with some hesitation, and said, "The three ministers, the official family is out of the palace." ”

Zhang Dun, who was just about to go out, paused, Su Song and Cai Bian's faces changed suddenly, and they walked over quickly, saying, "Where are you going?" ”

Why did the official family leave the palace at this time? What to do?

The three of them couldn't help but glance at each other, each looking uneasy.

Shen Qi said: "The palace said that it was going out for a walk, and Fan Xianggong and Xie Lin were passed on. ”

Su Song, Zhang Dan, and Cai Bian sank like water, thinking about Zhao Xu's purpose for doing this.

Fan Bailu is the only remaining minister of the 'previous dynasty', and the official family is going to be cleaned up together? What about Xie Lin, who wants to take the opportunity to attack the two roads in Hebei?

Or, something bigger brewing?

The three of them couldn't guess what Zhao Xu wanted to do, which made them even more uneasy.

"Wait." After a long time, Su Song slowly sat back and said lightly.

Now that the officials are ready to make a move, they can't interfere indiscriminately.

Zhang Dian and Cai Bian sat back and waited quietly to see what Zhao Xu was going to do.

Shen Qi glanced at the three of them, raised his hand, and hurriedly went out again. The number of scripts in the government hall is still increasing, and he has to deal with it.

At this time, the mansion of Fan Bailu.

Receiving Zhao Xu's summons, Fan Bailu sighed lightly and came out of the study.

Mrs. Fan looked panicked, looked at him and said, "Lord, official, it's not going to rectify you, right?" ”

Fan Bailu glanced at him and snorted: "Women's family, what do you know!" ”

Mrs. Fan was not frightened, and said: "It has long been rumored outside that you are the last minister of the Empress Dowager to listen to the government, and the official family will dispose of you sooner or later!" You say, "What can I do?" ”

Once Fan Bailu is imprisoned like Fan Chunren, the Fan family will also have to be raided.

Fan Bailu looked outside, his expression changed slightly, and said, "No one is allowed to mess around, I'll go to see the official's house." ”

Mrs. Fan wanted to speak and stopped, and finally could only look at Fan Bailu's back, sighed, and hurriedly returned.

Honglu Temple.

The ministers of civil and military affairs who entered Beijing, who did not have a mansion, basically lived here.

Hearing the 'summons from the official family', Xie Lin, who was talking with others, almost threw away his wine glass.

Although he entered Beijing not long ago, he also knew that this official had already killed two courtiers with a cane, imprisoned Lu Dafang, Fan Chunren and many other ministers!

What is his little knot?

The person who drank with Xie Lin almost subconsciously shrank back, wanting to keep his distance from him.

Xie Lin's face was like sauce, looking at the yellow gate and the guards not far away, his back was cold, but he could only bite the bullet and follow them.

A group of people looked at his back, and their expressions were quite a bit of 'the wind is sluggish and the water is cold'.

But Xie Lin didn't have the courage to go back like Jing Ke, and he walked tremblingly.

Zhao Xu walked out of the palace and slowly paced in the direction of Xiangguo Temple.

Kaifeng City after the rain is quite embarrassed, and the eaves of the streets are bleak after the heavy rain.

Zhao Xu smiled, this time the water situation was finally under control, and Kaifeng City would soon regain its vitality.

Chen Pi accompanied, and seeing Zhao Xu smiling, the tension on his face quietly eased a lot.

Not long after, Fan Bailu came, raised his hand and said, "The minister has seen the official family." ”

Zhao Xu didn't look back, looked at Fan Lou not far away, waved the folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "Fan Qing's house, I have been to this Fan Lou twice, and I haven't eaten smoothly once." ”

Fan Bailu could hear Zhao Xu's words, glanced at Fan Lou, thought for a moment, and said, "I don't know what is the matter of the official family announcing the ministers?" ”

Zhao Xu saw that Fan Bailu was straight to the point, smashed his mouth, and said, "It seems that it is not smooth to eat." ”

Zhao Xuzheng was talking, Xie Lin, who was tall and tall, walked briskly from not far away, and when he saw Fan Bailu, he was inexplicably relieved, and hurriedly said: "Minister Xie Lin, I have seen the official family." ”

Zhao Xu glanced at him, flicked the fan, held it in his hand, and said, "Don't eat it, just go for a walk." ”

Xie Lin didn't know what was going on, so he responded cautiously, and followed behind Zhao Xu with Fan Bailu.

Xie Lin quietly looked at the plainclothes guards behind him, becoming more and more nervous, and then looked at Fan Bailu, who was not moving, and immediately took a secret breath, his face became more and more cautious.

Zhao Xu walked a few steps, played with the folding fan in his hand, and said, "I can't figure out some things, I want to ask the two secretaries." ”

Fan Bailu didn't speak, and Xie Lin immediately said, "Please give instructions to the official family." ”

Zhao Xu paced and said: "I have always been lenient, the 'Ayun case' is obviously a crime that does not lead to death, why did a small case get into trouble in the court at the beginning of Xining, and it was unresolved for two years." The father clearly decreed the case, but after more than ten years, why did Sima Xianggong overturn the case again? Also sentenced to hanging? ”

Xie Lin didn't dare to speak, when Sima Guang decided this case, he was still a pawn and was not qualified to get involved.

Fan Bailu knew about the recent events, although he couldn't figure out Zhao Xu's true thoughts, he pondered for a while, and then said: "Official, this case, in terms of criminal law, should be sentenced to death, Sima Xianggong ......"

Zhao Xu put up a folding fan and swung it, and said, "There's no need to talk to me about this, if you talk about the criminal law, Ah Yun will not be guilty to death." ”

Fan Bailu frowned, knowing that he couldn't argue with Zhao Xu like this, he was silent for a moment, and said: "The official family, the law is strict, this is the ancestral system." ”

Zhao Xu glanced back at him, continued to walk, and said, "I remember that last year, there was another Yanai who beat someone to death on the street, but he only paid a fine to exonerate him. Isn't this Ayun unable to pay the fine? When you say strict, you will be strict, when you say wide, you will be wide, the ancestral system is upside down in your mouth, fiddling with it at will, dealing with Ah Yunxing, dealing with Wang Anshi, Zhang Dian can, dealing with me is also hand-to-hand......"

Fan Bailu's face sank, he really wanted to find an excuse, such as the indiscriminate judgment of mediocre officials, such as the protection of officials and officials, but these words obviously could not convince Zhao Xu on this occasion.

Xie Lin couldn't wait to go into the ground, and he didn't dare to listen to a word!

Zhao Xu waited for a while, saw that he didn't speak, then turned his head to look at Xie Lin, and said, "The border ministers don't plan political affairs, do you think that there are fewer people who will be killed by my cane, or do you think that you have some merits and have nothing to fear?" ”

Xie Lin dared to stiffen his mouth, raised his hand very respectfully, tried his best to hide his trembling, and said: "The minister is reckless for a while, please forgive the official." ”

Zhao Xu ignored Xie Lin's softness, kept his footsteps, and said, "You all know, Sima Guang overturned the case under the pretense of me's will. Now that I am riding a tiger, it is not to overturn the case, nor is it to maintain it, under the attention of the government and the opposition, you say, what should I do? ”

Fan Bailu was well aware of this, and he was also one of the participants back then.

Now that this case has been revealed, it is indeed difficult, not only for the official family, but also for the imperial court.

To maintain this case, now that the government and the opposition are surging, there must be an argument that it is impossible for the official family to continue to issue edicts, and 'rebelling against the father with a son' is not good.

To overturn the case, that is to slap yourself in the face. Those who oppose it will certainly not give up, and the argument will continue, and the words 'the son against the father' will be mentioned endlessly, who can stand it?

Fan Bailu was silent.

Xie Lin's scalp was numb, he was only arched by a few scripts at the beginning, and now he has squeezed the official family to this extent, which is completely unthinkable to him!

Walking to a bridge, Zhao Xu looked at the Xiangguo Temple in front of him and said, "I have now become a murderer, should I make an edict against myself, and then abdicate to eliminate this matter?" ”

Xie Lin's face changed suddenly, he knelt on the ground with a puff, and said, "Don't dare!" ”

What a murderer, what a guilty edict, what abdication! He Xie Lin can't afford any of them!

Fan Bailu's face finally had some solemnity, and he said seriously: "Official, there is still room for this matter. ”

Zhao Xu pressed his hands on the railing and said, "What is the leeway?" Zhang Xianggong sharpened his knife and prepared to pick up the graves of Sima Guang and others. ”

Xie Lin slammed his head on the ground, cold sweat dripping.

If Zhang Dian really uses the method of liquidating Sima Guang to remove the official family from this matter, it will definitely not be a small movement, and it is very likely that the 'old party' will be swept away inside and out, just like the 'old party' swept the 'new party' inside and out!

The corners of Fan Bailu's face straightened, and he said, "The minister will prevent some people from writing and find a way to settle this matter as soon as possible." ”

Fan Bailu naturally couldn't tolerate Zhang Dun doing this.

Zhao Xu looked at the lake and said, "Not enough." ”

This turmoil has become a wild horse that has escaped the reins, and both the 'old and new' parties can no longer stop it.

Fan Bailu thought about it and said: "The ministers will write a letter, impeach some people, and then ask the court to deal with it, and at the same time let Ah Yun's family withdraw the case." ”

"It's late." Zhao Xu said lightly.

Xie Lin slammed his head on the ground, thinking quickly in his heart, but when it comes to the affairs of the official family, it has never been so easy to be good!

He was very afraid, one was afraid that Zhang Duan would really liquidate Sima Guang; Second, he was afraid that the official in front of him would be angry and kill him on the spot!

Chen Pi stood aside, glancing at Fan Bailu quietly.

Fan Bailu felt a huge pressure, and this official family became more and more majestic.

He silently thought about countermeasures, it was obvious that if he couldn't have a proper solution to this matter now, the officials and Zhang Dian in front of him might 'kill' tomorrow!

Now it is not only the 'old and new' parties that are fighting back and forth, but also more people, and they can no longer be pressed, and there must be a statement that everyone can accept!

Fan Bailu was up and down in the sea, and it was the first time that he felt so embarrassed.

Xie Lin glanced at Fan Bailu, trembling in his heart, and secretly prayed: Fan Xianggong, you must have a way, otherwise we won't survive today!
