Chapter Seventy-Three: A Thousand Waves

Zhao Xu thought about these things and was alert.

He underestimated Lu Dafang and the forces of the 'old party', and they did not completely rely on the Empress Dowager Gao to gain a foothold in the court and liquidate the 'new party'.

They themselves have extremely powerful forces, and even Empress Dowager Gao is relying on them!

Zhao Xu thought of a lot of things in his mind in an instant, and he couldn't help but be a little afraid, and secretly called for luck.

If it weren't for the fact that he was fast enough to catch them off guard, but if there was a hint of relaxation in the past few days, giving them a chance to breathe, I am afraid that the current situation would be completely reversed!

Zhao Xu sighed lightly in his heart, looked at Chen Pi, and said, "You must be cautious and cautious in the Imperial City Division, and important things must be handed over to absolute trust to do." ”

Chen Pi is not a fool, and gradually came back to his senses, and said solemnly: "The villain understands. ”

Zhao Xu took the teacup, took a sip of tea, suppressed the uneasiness that had just surged in his heart, and then said: "Send out some more people to find out about the situation outside the palace, especially Su Zhe's affairs." Then select about 200 people and train the good students. In the future, it will be sealed and arrested, and the forbidden army cannot be used, and it will depend on the Imperial City Division. ”

Chen Pi said: "Yes." The villain went to do it overnight. ”

Zhao Xu raised his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry. You go and inform Chu Yu and let him keep a few more minds, the front division of the palace is not so easy to control, as long as it is temporarily stabilized, you can take it slowly in the future. ”

Tangerine peel should be.

Zhao Xu thought carefully for a while, looked a little tired, and said: "The palace is tight inside and loose outside, Tong Guan's side, you keep an eye on it, don't go out of line." ”

"Yes." Chen Pi bowed down.

Zhao Xu groaned and couldn't help yawning.

When Chen Pi saw it, he hurriedly said: "Official, I'm tired for a day, do you want to take a break?" The villain looks at the Queen Mother for you, and something wakes you up. ”

Zhao Xu looked at the Empress Dowager Gao, saw that she was much better, and said, "I don't have time to sleep." By the way, you take someone to the inner library, smash the door, and take a good inventory. ”

Chen Pi's eyes changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Official, is it really smashed?" ”

The inner library is more sensitive in the end, and if the Empress Dowager Gao wakes up and knows that Zhao Xu smashed open the inner library, I am afraid that she will not take a break easily.

Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "Smash it, when Grandmother wakes up, I'll explain." ”

Chen Pi didn't say anything more, raised his hand in response, and quickly turned to leave.

This night in the palace is destined to be sleepless.

Meng Meiren, Concubine Zhu, and even Concubine Wu Xian, who was imprisoned, couldn't sleep at night, so many things happened in the palace, everyone knew that something was wrong, something big happened!

They guessed a little, so they could only wait in silence.

At this time, the Criminal Department.

Huang Shan, Ma Yan and Dali Temple Qing Qian Sheng sat around the table.

The expressions of the three people were different, and the official family locked Su Zhe in the prison of the Criminal Department, and the case file was also in the hands of the three of them.

Huang Shan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is very cautious in the imperial history, how can he be careless when such a big matter involves the three envoys?

However, Qian Sheng, the secretary of Dali Temple, read these case files carefully from beginning to end, looked up at the two opposite indifferently, and asked dissatisfiedly: "These, what does it have to do with Su?" At most, the royal majesty is not strict and is out of duty, why do you use the forbidden army in the palace to seal the three divisions of the yamen, and even put the plan in prison? This kind of thing has never happened in my Great Song! Where is the discipline and legal system? ”

Huang Yan and Ma Yan glanced at each other, and Huang Yan said: "Not to mention the deficit of the Sansi Yamen, just to say that the military salary on Huanqing Road 'disappeared', this is not a trivial matter. ”

Qian Sheng stared at him with a glare, and said, "Check the shortfall, I don't believe that the plan will be greedy for these millions of yuan." As for the loss of military salaries on Huanqing Road, is it also a hindrance? Ridiculous, say it, who believes! ”

Huang Yan was about to say more, but Ma Yan suddenly kicked him under the table and shook his head imperceptibly.

Huang Yan frowned, looked at Qian Sheng and said, "What do you say?" ”

Qian Sheng was in his early forties, his expression was stern, he snorted coldly, and said, "Of course, it is played according to the facts, is it possible that we still have to be wronged?" Besides, the Sansi Yamen is related to the world, and Huanqing Road is still waiting for military salaries, shouldn't it be unsealed and pacify the mouth of the world? ”

Huang Yan opened his mouth to speak, glanced at Ma Yan, who was silent, and had to say: "It's getting late, let's see Su Xianggong together tomorrow, let's make plans again." ”

Qian Sheng slapped the table and stood up, and said coldly: "If the Criminal Department plays any tricks and invites pets, my Dali Temple will never agree!" ”

After speaking, Qian Sheng strode away.

Huang Yan's face was ugly, and it wasn't until Qian Sheng left that he said to Ma Yan: "Why are you stopping me?" He's talking nonsense with his eyes open! With a deficit of millions, the military salary on Huanqing Road disappeared, such a big thing, he just said no and disappeared with such a fluttering sentence? ”

Ma Yan sighed and said, "Haven't you seen it yet?" I'm afraid this is not Qian Siqing's idea, it is the person behind him. ”

Huang Zhan is naturally not stupid, he knows Qian Sheng's background very well, and said puzzledly: "Zai Fu is in the political hall, and there is no objection in front of the officials." ”

Ma Yan looked at him and said, "In front of everyone's eyes, the evidence is conclusive, how can you oppose it?" If Zai Zhi speaks out, I'm afraid that the official family will pinch him on the spot. ”

Huang Yan had a headache and said, "Then what do you say?" Su Xianggong can't be detained for a long time, and the Sansi Yamen can't be sealed for a long time. Besides, the official side is still staring. ”

Ma Yan looked up at the door, and said in a somewhat low voice: "Someone is more anxious than us, let's see the movement over there tomorrow for the time being." ”

Huang Zhan listened, stretched out his head, and said in a low voice: "Honestly, what should I do now?" ”

Huang Shan's 'what to do' naturally refers not to the case, but to the changes that are taking place in the palace and their position!

Ma Yan is the middle of the imperial history, this is a special position, not recommended by the political affairs hall, appointed, all out of the 'Shangyi'. Moreover, as long as there is enough reason, he can even directly scold Lu Dafang, not to mention fear, let alone restraint.

Ma Yan looked up at the outside and said, "That Han Qingtian probably won't be able to sleep, let's go find him." ”

Huang Yan knew that Ma Yan was close to Han Zongdao, the governor of Kaifeng Mansion, and that Han Qingtian's status was also special, thinking about him, who was in an embarrassing situation, he could only frown, his eyes full of worry.

At this time, Han Zongdao was standing under the eaves of the backyard of Kaifeng Mansion, looking up at the clear night sky gloomily.

I don't know how many people envy him for the position of the governor of Kaifeng Mansion, he is the second grade, known as the 'prime minister', there is no accident, and it is almost inevitable to pay homage to the prime minister in the future.

Han Zongdao stared at the night sky, sighed for a long time, and said, "But now there is an accident......

Cai Fu.

Cai You looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, his excitement overflowed, and said: "Sir, the Empress Dowager is seriously ill, and the cronies of the official family have taken over the front division of the palace, is it already stable?" ”

The middle-aged man was in a trance at the moment, he didn't expect that the young official in the palace would be so fierce in his means, and he would be quick and neat, without dragging his feet, and he would seize the opportunity to the pinnacle.

Cai You saw that the middle-aged man was thinking, but he still interrupted: "Sir, you say, what should I do anymore?" Show your face in front of the official, this opportunity can't be missed! ”

The middle-aged man woke up, groaned slightly, and said, "Don't be careless yet." Even if the official family controls Kaifeng City, he still has two disadvantages, and it is difficult to say whether he will succeed or fail. ”

Cai You was stunned and said, "What disadvantage?" ”

The middle-aged man looked at him and said, "First, filial piety." As long as the Empress Dowager is in one day, he has to be obedient. Second, the court. The official family has never been involved in the court situation and has no power. Even if the prime minister is imprisoned, Zai Fu is still there, and the two of Zai Fu and the Queen Mother are enough to kill the official family. ”

Cai You frowned and said: "Compared with before, the official family has already mastered the military power of Kaifeng City, as long as it moves forward steadily, it will not be a problem to control the court situation, right?" ”

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Then you underestimate the Empress Dowager and Zaifu too much." What was the result of the 'royal party' that year? The reason why the official family has been able to get to this day is that the most important thing is that the queen mother and zaifu are unprepared. Once they react, the official family is in a worrying situation. ”

Cai You was a little unwilling, and asked rhetorically: "Then why did Mr. let me send those things to the official family before?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Because the official family has an incomparable advantage." ”

Cai You was puzzled and said, "What an advantage." ”

The middle-aged man didn't say anything, and said, "Wait." ”

Cai You looked at the middle-aged man in a daze, very puzzled by the words 'wait', and suddenly said in surprise: "Father is back?" ”

The middle-aged man laughed but did not speak.

Cai You comprehended, and then thought independently about why his father wanted him to send those things to Zhao Xu, and Zhao Xu's incomparable advantages.

At this time, the Su Mansion was brightly lit, with endless exchanges and arguments.

Qin Guan, one of the four scholars of Sumen, was twisting his eyebrows and writing hard, not a defense recital, but a letter to Su Shi who had not yet arrived in Yangzhou!

The Su family was in chaos, and people were panicking.

There are those who are unhappy, and there are those who are happy.

One of Wang Anshi's most important arms, Zhang Dan. When Zhang Yuan, the son of Zhang Dan, learned of the changes in the palace, he was excited to pick up the pen and write a letter to Zhang Yuan, who was in Lingnan, to tell him the good news.

There are a few words in it, which are extra forceful: great changes in the palace, and the return of adults can be expected.
