Chapter 127: Su Shi returns to Beijing

Is there any need to think about it?

Jiang Jing answered in his heart, and then he was shocked, and said: "Xianggong, the official family ......."

He didn't say any more, he was shocked by the cleverness of Zhao Xu's skills, and at the same time afraid of the purpose behind these skills - he would never spare Lu Dafang!

Jiang Jing stopped talking and looked at Su Song with some uneasiness.

If the official family insists on severely punishing Lu Dafang, what will the Su Xiang Guild do?

Su Song obviously thought of it earlier than Jiang Jing, so his face was always gloomy, and his face was as cold and hard as a stone.

Su Song can see clearly, and there is no shortage of people in the government and the opposition who can see clearly.

The official family made a move, so the atmosphere outside the palace became even more tense, and rumors spread everywhere, all over the big and small.

Zhao Xu is already at the last stop at this time, the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Industry is also scattered, but fortunately, Yang Wei, who was handpicked by Zhao Xu, has already rushed over.

Zhao Xu talked with some people in the Ministry of Industry, including the increase in the authority of the Ministry of Industry, appropriations and other contents, leaving one waiter, two members of the Ministry of Industry, naturally very happy, restrained and implicitly expressed loyalty.

Approaching evening, Zhao Xu went out of the Ministry of Works, stood in front of the palace gate, and looked at the street not far away.

In addition to the imperial city division and the palace guards, there are also many ordinary people, watching from afar.

Under the leadership of Yang Wei, a group of people from the Ministry of Industry followed Zhao Xu's side, looking excited and nervous.

Zhao Xu looked around and said to Yang Wei and others: "The Ministry of Industry has two priorities at present, one is to come up with a practical strategy for the management of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. Don't be bored in the yamen, but go to the investigation in a down-to-earth manner, consult experienced and capable people, and the plan should be long-term and treat the symptoms and root causes, especially the Yellow River. As the flood season approaches, don't slack off. The second is to sort out and analyze the official roads and bridges across the country, summarize the situation, and strive to present it to me as soon as possible. ”

Yang Wei's expression was solemn, and he said, "The minister obeys the order!" ”

The others nodded their heads one after another, their breath a little short, and they wanted to answer.

Zhao Xu thought for a moment and said, "Yang Qing's family, you take care of the affairs of the Ministry of Industry first, and when the decree is drawn up by the government hall, it will be officially promulgated." ”

The emperor wants to appoint officials, not just by saying a word. It is necessary to go through a set of procedures in the three provinces, and this is the legal principle.

Now that the three provinces are in the political affairs hall, it is necessary to go through the procedures in the political affairs hall.

Yang bowed and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

He wasn't nervous at all, if he hadn't been appointed in the past, he might not have been able to pass it, but now, who would dare to disobey the official?

Zhao Xu felt that it was almost there, so he walked forward and stepped down the steps.

Yang Wei hurriedly followed, and the other officials of the Ministry of Industry stood on the steps stiffly, raising their hands to send them off.

At this time, Tong Guan hurriedly walked over and whispered in Zhao Xu's ear: "The official family, there are suddenly a lot of recitals defending Lu Dafang and others in the political affairs hall, all of which are saying that Lu Dafang's merits should be pardoned by the official family as appropriate." ”

Zhao Xu looked in the direction of the palace and said casually: "It's not strange." ”

His trip today is actually equivalent to an ultimatum, clearly telling everyone that he is going to severely punish Lu Dafang, and some people can't sit still, which is completely expected.

However, Zhao Xu immediately squinted his eyes, flashed coldness, and said to himself: "If you become an official, you will be prosperous and rich for a lifetime, no matter how big the crime is, it is degrading, and you are still well-dressed and carefree, this kind of rule must be changed...... Let's start with Lu Dafang! ”

Tong Guan lowered his head and didn't dare to say more.

However, Yang Wei's expression suddenly moved, looked at Zhao Xu's cold side face, and quietly bowed.

"That's it for today, let's go back to Yang Qing's house."

Zhao Xu strode away from the Ministry of Industry and prepared to return to the palace.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty." Yang Wei hurriedly raised his hand.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty." The Ministry of Industry and other cadres shouted along, and the voice was very loud, as if they were afraid that Zhao Xu would not hear it.

When Zhao Xu left surrounded by a group of people, Yang Wei got up, his eyes flickered faintly for a while, and suddenly said in a deep voice with a group of people behind him: "Your Majesty's words have all been heard, do things overnight!" The official went to the criminal department and came back immediately. ”

A cadre from the Ministry of Industry raised his hand to answer the order, and said, "The subordinate officer receives the order." ”

Now there are too many vacant positions in the imperial court, and the officials have come to the Ministry of Industry in person, so they naturally want to behave well!

In the evening, in Zhao Xu's study, he put down his pen and said to Chen Pi: "Tomorrow's things have been arranged?" ”

Chen Pi carefully put down the soup and said, "Yes." According to the meaning of the Empress Dowager, everything is simple, tomorrow is to go to the nunnery to do a ritual on the line, the Empress Dowager does not enter the mausoleum of the first emperor, and is placed in the nunnery. ”

Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows, it is not surprising that Empress Dowager Gao did not take away all the honor of Empress Dowager Xiang, and it is not surprising that she will not enter the Divine Mausoleum.

Zhao Xu picked up the soup bowl, looked outside, and said: "You will notify the political affairs hall tomorrow and draw up a will: order Cai Bian to be the chief judge, the three legal divisions to judge, and then let the thirteenth brother supervise the trial on my behalf, and the day after tomorrow, the public trial of Lu Dafang and other cases." ”

Rao is Chen Pi has experienced a lot of winds and waves with Zhao Xu, and his shoulders are still trembling at this time.

Open the trial of Zaisuke!

This kind of thing has never happened in the Great Song Dynasty!

The news spread, and I don't know how much movement there is outside, but I'm afraid that I can lift Kaifeng City!

Chen Pi didn't dare to say much, so he hurriedly responded.

Zhao Xu waved his spoon at him and said, "Go ahead, just leave two people, I'll watch it for a while and fall asleep." ”

Chen Pi bowed down and quietly retreated.

……

Early the next morning, Zhao Xu dressed neatly, surrounded by a group of people, and went out of the palace to the 'Miaojing Nunnery' outside the city.

The funeral of the Queen Mother, no matter how simple it was, had to be attended by the courtiers.

The funeral of the Empress Dowager, because of the Empress Dowager Gao's decree of 'everything is simple' and 'monk', is really very concise.

As a 'son', Zhao Xu just cooperated with the acting and went through the process.

One after another, after noon, Zhao Xu and others stayed in the nunnery for another hour, and then they went down the mountain one after another and returned to the city.

Before Zhao Xu and the others returned to the palace, Chen Pi greeted him, put aside everyone, and whispered in Zhao Xu's ear: "Official, the Imperial City Division said that Su Shi returned to Beijing yesterday. Some people related to the Su family are walking around the capital very frequently today, and there are ...... Wang Xu. ”

Zhao Xu listened, tilted his head slightly, and stared at Chen Pi.

Chen Pi bowed down, not daring to say more.

Wang Shu was the captain of the concubine, and he was involved in Su Shi's 'Wutai Poetry Case', breaking the rule that the concubines of the Song Dynasty did not participate in court politics.

Wang Xu wrote a book to defend Lu Dafang and others, and Su Shi is now back in Beijing, what is his attitude?

However, from Chen Pi bowing his head, Zhao Xu had vaguely guessed.

The reason why this Wang Shu was assigned back then was that in addition to being involved in Su Shi's 'Wutai Poetry Case', he was involved in the party struggle as a lieutenant of the horse, and he also bullied the eldest princess, which angered Shenzong.

Zhao Xu turned his mind in his heart, turned his head to look in the direction of Su Mansion, and after a moment, he said: "Message: Wang Xu's misconduct, many lawlessness, repeated involvement in court politics, and unrepentant!" Fifty rods, detained in the Zongren Mansion, waiting to be released. Chen Pi, you go in person. ”

Chen Pi didn't dare to think about anything else, and immediately said: "The villain obeys the order." ”

After Chen Pi finished speaking, he hurriedly left with the Imperial City Division.

Zhao Xu still had a cold feeling on his face, strode into the palace, and said, "Call the thirteenth brother to see me." ”
