Chapter 246: Shot at the Empress

Zhao Hao's death did not cause much movement in the political affairs hall, but it was a 'good'.

In fact, Zhang Dian had long wanted to kill Zhao Hao, this person was not only ill-intentioned, but also did too many evil things, if it wasn't for his special identity, I don't know how many times he died.

Now, Zhao Hao is sick and dead, and the official family is innocent, and it will not be left in the history books

With the notoriety of 'the emperor killing his uncle'.

Again, what Zhao Hao couldn't do because of his special identity can now be done with his hands.

It's so good!

The green tile house is even busier, and some more have been added to the original plan.

With the increase in events, the manpower of the Qingwafang is increasing, and even at night, there are more than 30 people on duty, busy all night.

The blue tile room is brightly lit, the figures are abundant, Zhang Dian and Cai Bian do things day and night.

The asagina was still a few days away, and they had too much to do.

It was almost dawn, Cai Jing came to the blue tile house with dark circles under his eyes and a tired face.

Cai Bian just looked up, completely indifferent to this strange brother, and continued to bow his head to do things.

Cai Jing didn't pay attention to Cai Bian, and after saluting Zhang Dan, he said: "Zhang Xianggong, it has been basically investigated, it was planned by a person from Kaifeng Mansion to mention official business, because Fang Tian's tax law involved his acres, so he took a risk and set a fire." ”

Zhang Dian was writing something, and said without raising his head: "Just him?" ”

Cai Jing had already had a draft, but he still pretended to hesitate and said: "There is no evidence." However, he is the in-law of the Duke of Qi. ”

Zhang Dun's pen paused, and continued to fly hard, "Is it the Qi State Mansion of Wang Jieyu's family?" ”

Cai Jing stood in front of Zhang Dan, always cautious, listening to Zhang Dan's abrupt mention of the 'Duke of Qi State', Cai Jing's expression remained unchanged, and he secretly thought about it in his heart, and after a while, he said, "Yes." ”

Cai Bian raised his head and looked at Cai Jing, his face expressionless, and gradually indifferent.

Qi Guogong?

This is a first-class lord, from the time of Emperor Taizu.

Cai Jing said 'yes', and Zhang Dian didn't speak again, lowered his head, and continued to write.

Cai Jing secretly observed Zhang Dan, didn't see anything from his face, was silent for a long time, and said: "Su Shi went outside the city and saw Su Xianggong. I don't know what they were talking about, but it is said that they have already returned to the city. ”

"The imperial court will not abolish the imperial examination,"

Zhang Duan opened his mouth, and this sentence made Cai Jing's face no longer tense, and his body trembled.

If the attitude of the imperial court is so clear, then the Dao Song is his talisman!

Cai Jing was flustered, and even a trace of cold sweat oozed from his head: I can't fall, I must not fall! I'll never come back if I fall!

Cai Jing had no master, his eyes were desperate, he was grinding his teeth secretly, and suddenly he was shocked, and asked, "Is this what the official family means?" ”

Cai Bian looked at Cai Jing and frowned. He, the eldest brother, is accustomed to steering the rudder and turning things upside down, and is a traitor recognized by both the 'old and new' parties.

Now, in front of Zhang Dan, he asked such a thing!

As soon as Cai Jing's words fell, Zhang Duan raised his eyes suddenly, stared at Cai Jing with sharp eyes like a sword, and said in a very indifferent tone: "The Criminal Department is subordinate to the Political Affairs Hall, and Cai Shangshu has the right to write to His Majesty, but when it comes to major imperial court affairs, especially such a major event as the abolition of the imperial examination, should the Political Affairs Hall be informed?" ”

Even though Cai Jing was flustered, he still tried his best to keep calm, and said with some soberness: "I met the official family that day. happened to meet Xu Xinglong talking about the imperial examination, and the lower official presented it to the official's family, without disrespecting the political hall. ”

Zhang Dian stared at Cai Jing coldly for a long time, his expression was extremely stern, and it took a while before he slowly withdrew it and continued to write.

Cai Jing's heart shook, and he became more and more uneasy, he knew that Zhang Dian was dissatisfied with him, and it was the first time that he had made such an undisguised expression.

Zhang Dian wrote for a while, then spoke again, and said: "The biggest obstacle encountered by the Fangtian average tax law is the acres of fields, and most of the acres of fields in the north are in the hands of high-ranking officials and nobles. ”

Cai Jing has been up and down for decades, and he seems to understand something when he listens to it.

Zhang Dian did not have a more detailed explanation, and after writing quickly, he put down his pen, picked it up and blew it, and said: "The Criminal Department is very important in the new law. Don't think about the mess and focus on the new law. If anything else happens, you will have a room in the prison of the Criminal Department. ”

Cai Jing pondered the meaning of Zhang Dan's words, and instead of panicking, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Dian said this because he would not pursue him for the time being, and his criminal department was still stable

Zhang Duan put the notebook together, took out another blank one, and picked up the pen to write.

Cai Jing saw some, and his eyes changed immediately.

This is a report from the palace of political affairs, and the words he saw were: The duty of a courtier lies in loyalty to the monarch and the country, the duty of an official lies in the order and prohibition, the book is inside, and the rumors are outside, so what is the duty of a minister?

Cai Jing was frightened, and his expression was a little stiff.

Zhang Dan's words seem to be mentioning national officials, but in it, is there any Cai Jing?

Cai Jing couldn't help but glance at Cai Bian, if the imperial court really didn't allow him, maybe only this younger brother could help him say a few words.

Zhang Dan's pen did not stop, his expression was serious, and he said: "The household department is setting up a metropolitan field department, which will be specially managed under the new law. Kaifeng Prefecture is preparing for the establishment of six official affairs to supervise the implementation of the 'new law' in various states and counties of Kaifeng Prefecture. In the examination method of the Ministry of Officials, there is a triennial big examination......"

Cai Jing listened, his expression was unmoved, and he wondered in his heart, what did what Zhang Dian said have to do with him?

Cai Bian glanced at the sky that was gradually brightening up outside, and said to Cai Jing: "The Criminal Department must be prepared to take responsibility. We will say hello to you now, and the establishment of the Criminal Department will approve another hundred places in the Political Affairs Hall......"

Hearing the expansion of the power of the Criminal Department, Cai Jing was both surprised and happy, and was about to say something, when suddenly a small official hurriedly came in, glanced at everyone, and whispered a few words in Zhang Dan's ear.

Zhang Dian raised his head sharply and looked at the little official.

The little official was a little nervous and shook his head.

Zhang Duan stared at him for a moment and waved his hand.

The little official stepped back cautiously, and Zhang Dian and Cai Jing said lightly: "You go." ”

Cai Jing really wanted to touch the bottom of Zhang Duan again, and when he saw that something was obviously happening, he had to get up and say, "The lower official retires." ”

Cai Bian watched Cai Jing leave and turned to Zhang Dian.

Zhang Dian had already put down his pen, looked pensive, and after a while, said: "It seems that something has happened in the palace, and the palace door that was about to be opened suddenly closed. ”

Cai Bian's face was shocked, the palace seemed to be calm, but in fact it was even more dangerous and terrifying than outside the palace!

Cai Bian was uneasy and said, "Is the official family okay?" ”

Zhang Dian looked outside, his eyes flashed, and said, "I have no news in the palace, just wait." ”

Cai Bian nodded and looked worriedly in the direction of Funing Palace.

The reason why these people can come back is because of the official family, if something happens to the official family, it is likely that everything will go back again!

At this time, Zhao Xu was sleeping soundly with Liu Meiren in his arms, Chen Pi ran over from Cining Palace, stood at the door, his expression was entangled, he hesitated, but he knocked on the door twice, and called in a low voice: "The official family ......"

Zhao Xu has been very tired recently, so he got up and became more and more angry, so he snorted softly when he listened, turned sideways and continued to sleep.

Liu Meiren woke up, rubbed Zhao Xu with her delicate body, and said softly: "Official, there must be something wrong with Daguan Chen coming so early." ”

Zhao Xu opened his eyes a little irritably and exhaled deeply.

Furrowing his brows, he put on a piece of clothing and got up.

Liu Meiren hurriedly lifted the quilt, quickly got dressed, took Zhao Xu's clothes, and followed behind, for fear that Zhao Xu would catch a cold.

Zhao Xu opened the door, looked at Chen Pi and said impatiently: "What happened so early in the morning." ”

Chen Pi was not afraid that Zhao Xu would be angry, he looked at Liu Meiren who was dressing Zhao Xu in the back, bowed, paused, and said: "Official, there is a palace maid who sues the queen...... In the Cining Temple. ”

Zhao Xu was originally full of sleepiness, listening to Chen Pi's words, he was stunned again and again, his brain gradually sobered up, and his face was thoughtful.

Empress Meng was established by the Empress Dowager Gao, and if someone wants to sue, they should also be looking for him, what does it mean to find the Empress Dowager Gao?

Zhao Xu looked at Chen Pi, pondered in his heart, and said lightly: "What reason?" ”

Chen Pi looked at Liu Meiren again and did not speak.

Liu Meiren blinked, looking ignorant, not knowing why Chen Daguan looked at her repeatedly.

Zhao Xu watched Chen Pi's movements, there was no expression on his face, and he thought about a lot of things in an instant.

Historically, Empress Meng was abolished and separated, and the reasons for the first time were very complicated, but it could not be directly due to political reasons.

Is this the time?

Zhao Xu tilted his head slightly, his eyes indifferent.

Are these people in a hurry? Does he dare to meddle in the affairs of his harem?
