Gu Zhengyang, Marquis of Ningyuan, stood on the street with a sword, blocking the sedan chair of Cai Bian, the governor of the government, this is not an ordinary thing.

The people were quickly surrounded by people with horrified expressions, gathered together and whispered.

The officials patrolling the streets of Kaifeng Mansion wanted to get closer, but were stopped by Cai Bian's guards.

Cai Bian stood in front of the sedan chair, looking at Gu Zhengyang who was standing awe-inspiringly, his face was expressionless, and he thought about it again and again, knowing that if he didn't give him an explanation, he was afraid that he would really not be able to get over today.

After thinking about it, he walked straight towards Gu Zhengyang.

Gu Zhengyang watched Cai Bian come over, snorted coldly, and raised his long sword directly at Cai Bian.

Cai Bian didn't move, stretched out his hand to block the sword, came to him, and said in a deep voice: "The political hall has never discussed this matter before, this music book appeared suddenly, and the current music book is in the official family, and it has not been sent to the political affairs hall for discussion." ”

Gu Zhengyang snorted coldly, raised his sword again, and said in a deep voice: "I want your truth!" ”

Cai Bian didn't look at his sword at all, looked at Gu Zhengyang and said lightly: "After the court break is over, the political hall will promulgate a decree and explain the new law. This is a plan that has been drawn up for a long time, and within the framework of the new law, there is no mention of abolishing the imperial examination. The abolition of the imperial examination is a matter of great importance, and it will not be decided easily because of this one. That's all I can say, if Marquis Ning Yuan makes up his mind to stand in my way, then I'll go home. ”

Gu Zhengyang listened, his expression moved and moved, Cai Bian's words are still nonsense, and they are not allowed to believe it at all!

Gu Zhengyang took a deep breath, still full of anger, and said, "Okay! I'll believe you once! As he spoke, he threw his sword aside, his expression was still quite unkind, and said, "Go back and tell Cai Jing and Zhang Zihou, if they dare to mess around, no one will agree, and no one can save them!" ”

Cai Bian didn't move at all, Gu Zhengyang's threats didn't have any effect in his eyes, they were nothing more than taking care of Xungui's face.

Gu Zhengyang knew better that he couldn't do anything to Cai Bian, snorted, and turned to leave.

Cai Bian's guard officer came over, looked at Gu Zhengyang's back, and whispered behind Cai Bian: "Xianggong, as soon as you give the order, I will take him." ”

Holding a sword on the street and threatening the prime minister is a capital crime!

Cai Bian looked at Gu Zhengyang's back, shook his head, and said, "What is the little Marquis Ning Yuan, let's go, go to Kaifeng Mansion." ”

The detainee didn't say much, arranged it again, waited for Cai Bian to get on the sedan chair, and continued to Kaifeng Mansion.

Before Cai Bian arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, the news about Ning Yuanhou holding a sword to block Cai Bian spread all over the world, and Gu Zhengyang suddenly became a hero of 'opposing chaos and fighting against traitors', and everyone praised him.

Before Gu Zhengyang returned to the mansion, a group of people were waiting, arching him to a restaurant in a few words.

There were already many people sitting in the restaurant, and they immediately invited him to sit down enthusiastically.

Gu Zhengyang looked at these people and was very shocked, many of them were people he didn't like in the past!

In the midst of the staggering, Gu Zhengyang's face was flushed, and he slammed his wine glass, and he didn't know how many words he didn't dare to say before.

During the banquet, some people quietly looked at each other with smug expressions.

The news soon spread back to the palace, and Zhang Dian was sitting in a chair, looking through a thick 'account book'.

In front of him stood Shen Qi, a scholar from the middle school, Shen Qi looked at Zhang Dan, and said with some caution: "Xianggong, this is from Kaifeng Mansion and various states and counties, about all the acres of land in Kaifeng Mansion. Xia Guan roughly flipped through it, and there were indeed a lot of hidden ones. ”

Zhang Dian only glanced at it a few times, and shouted directly to a scribe not far away: "Zheng Xi, reorganize these account books in order of the number of acres of land, and I will ask for them before the opening of the dynasty." ”

Zheng Xi was a jinshi in the seventh year of Yuan You, and when he heard this, he hurriedly ran over, hugged the thick books, turned around and entered their clerk's room, and arranged for someone to sort out and re-register.

Shen Qi waited for Zhang Duan to finish arranging, and said again: "Xianggong, about the Marquis of Ningyuan......"

Zhang Dan's expression was flat, and he said, "Let him go." ”

Shen Qi looked at Zhang Dan's expression was not as stern as before, and his sword eyebrows were always calm, but his heart became more and more melancholy, and there was always a sense of depression that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.

Almost all the affairs of the government and the opposition are in Zhao Xu's eyes, and the affairs of Cai Bian and Gu Zhengyang are in Zhao Xu's eyes.

In the vertical arch hall, Zhao Xu sat on a chair and was reviewing various scripts about the 'military reform'.

Listening to Chen Pi's report, he said to himself: "Why don't they have the courage to do this in twenty years......

Chen Pi was stunned, twenty years later?

Zhao Xu just said to himself, in fact, in history, Cai Jing did abolish the imperial examination, but he didn't see anyone fighting generously with swords, more vassals, and complicity.

In the final analysis, Cai Jing's reforms were to cater to Huizong, and they were coerced by the interests of the official eunuch group and then encroached, and the real reforms were superficial, so he could sit in the Taishi chair and hold power for many years and stand tall.

And what Zhao Xu wants to do now is really, thorough reform, so these people can't sit still after all.

"Moved their cheese......"

After a long time, Zhao Xu muttered to himself again. In the current officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, everyone has a background, and the court is basically controlled by the scholars and the Xungui group, and it is extremely difficult for the poor children to get ahead.

This phenomenon is becoming more and more serious, and the imbalance of the Great Song Dynasty is not only rich and poor, it is simply all-round!

'Cheese? ’

Chen Pi muttered in his heart, he became more and more incomprehensible.

Zhao Xu has been staring at the notebook in front of him, which was written by Tong Guan, about all aspects of military reform. It can be seen from this transcript that the military reform plan of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War has been carried out quite smoothly, and gratifying progress has been made, and there has not been much chaos in the northern roads.

Zhao Xu nodded secretly, which was more consistent with the information he had gotten.

I don't know how long it took, a small yellow door quietly came in and whispered a few words in Chen Pi's ear.

Chen Pi waved him away without moving, and when Zhao Xu had a gap, he turned sideways and said, "Official, Master Su has entered the palace and gone to the Qingshou Palace." ”

Zhao Xu was just about to rest for a while, picked up the teacup and turned to him: "Didn't I say that no one outside is allowed to disturb Xiaoniang?" ”

Chen Pi bowed down and said guiltily: "The concubine has always hoped that Master Su can enter the palace to teach His Royal Highness the Thirteenth, so the guards didn't dare to stop him. ”

Zhao Xu snorted, hugged the teacup, looked outside the palace and said, "This is a good shortcoming." ”

Chen Pi hesitated and said, "Do you want to let someone drive him out?" ”

Zhao Xu waved his hand with the tea lid and said, "No need." ”

After saying this, he said with some emotion: "This Mr. Su is really really, no wonder he was exiled from Beijing three or four times without being allowed by the imperial court......"

Su Shi, a person who is in a hurry to take the lead in everything, does not know how to be flexible at all, and does not pay attention to ways and means, that is, the Great Song Dynasty court is more 'harmonious' - does not kill people.

Otherwise, Su Shi didn't know how many times he had been killed.

Zhao Xu took a sip of tea, looked in the direction of the green tile house, and suddenly smiled and said, "Zhang Xianggong held back a big move......

Chen Pi bowed, as if he hadn't heard.

After Zhao Xu finished speaking, he took another sip of tea and said: "Zhang Xianggong works so hard, I can't be idle, you go and sort out the list of my honorable ministers of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Chen Pi's tone was flat and unwavering, and he said, "Yes." ”

Outsiders don't know what Zhang Dian is planning, but Chen Pi, as Zhao Xu's great eunuch, knows it - it's not just a big move......

Zhao Xu put down the teacup, rubbed his face with both hands, calmed down, and continued to look at the music book in front of him.

At the same time, Su Shi had already arrived at the Qingshou Palace.

Concubine Zhu was very happy about Su Shi's arrival, and thought that Su Shi had agreed, so she welcomed Su Shi in very excitedly and politely, and said with a smile: "Master Su, please come in, no need to be formal, please take a seat." ”

Concubine Zhu has a lot of respect for literature like Su Shi, and she wants to be a gentleman to Zhao Ru, so she is really not slacking off at all.

Su Shi saluted respectfully, did not sit down, and said bluntly: "Niangniang, the lower official is guilty of a crime, and he returned to Beijing for the funeral at home, and without the permission of the political affairs hall, the lower official cannot stay in Beijing." ”

Concubine Zhu didn't care, and said with a smile: "Mr. Su, don't worry, I'll tell you that several ministers in the political hall can still give me a little face." ”

Concubine Zhu still has this confidence, no matter how bad it is, Zhao Xu is still willing to listen to her.

The reason why she is in such a hurry is actually because of the worries caused by Zhao Ji after he was abolished. One of his sons is an official family, so she doesn't need to worry about it anymore, but her youngest son Zhao seems to be worried about the future.

Su Shi came this time, naturally he didn't come back to continue to be a waiter in the palace, and said in a deep voice: "Niangniang, can I hear...... Is the imperial court going to abolish the imperial examination? ”

Concubine Zhu didn't pay much attention to the outside of the palace, and the people in the palace wouldn't tell her this, so she was stunned when she heard it, and said, "Abolish the imperial examination?" ”

Concubine Zhu is the kind of woman who lives at home, as long as the family is good, she doesn't care about it at all, but Rao is like this, she also knows that abolishing the imperial examination is not a trivial matter.

She immediately understood Su Shi's intention, the residual smile on her face was gone, and she said lightly: "Mr. Su, I'm just a woman and don't know so many things. These ministers who have their own official families and government affairs halls are in charge of ......"

Su Shi raised his hand and said, "Niangniang, now the court situation is chaotic, everything is complicated, and the minister is worried that the official family will be bewitched." The abolition of the imperial examination is actually a chaotic government in the chaos of the government, and it is related to the foundation of our Great Song Dynasty, and the ministers ask Niangniang Wanwu to make it clear with the official family......"

Concubine Zhu was a little irritable and interrupted him: "If Mr. Su really doesn't want to enter the palace, I won't force it." ”

Su Shi saw that Concubine Zhu was unhappy, persuaded not to move, felt more uneasy in his heart, forced it, raised his hand and said: "Please Niangniang, please think twice about the official family, and the minister will retire." ”

Concubine Zhu looked at Su Shi's melancholy face, and seemed to feel that there was a faux pas just now, so she hurriedly stood up and sent Su Shi out of the Qingshou Palace.

Su Shi hesitated, sighed in his heart, didn't say anything, and went straight out of the palace.

Concubine Zhu looked at Su Shi's back and hesitated a little.

She didn't want to get involved in Zhao Xu's affairs and make Zhao Xu troubled. Su Shi's worries made her a little unbearable.

At this time, a palace maid came over and said, "Niangniang, the lady of Zhu Qianzhen's family is here again and has brought a lot of things." ”

Concubine Zhu frowned, although her surname was Zhu, she had nothing to do with the Zhu family at all, and she was bored, so she said directly: "If the things are left, the people will be gone." ”

After Concubine Zhu finished speaking, she said again: "Zhao Ru, what is You'e doing now?" ”

The palace maid said: "His Royal Highness the Thirteenth and the Ten Princesses are in the Funing Palace, the Thirteenth Highness is riding a horse, and the Ten Princesses are making fans for the official family, and the one last time seemed to be broken." ”

When Concubine Zhu listened, she smiled a little, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, after all, Zhao seems to be the same mother and the official family, and they are different from Zhao Ji after all.

Thinking of Zhao Ji, Concubine Zhu had a headache again, and said, "You go and call Eleven over, lock me in the room, and don't allow him to run out again without my permission." ”

"Yes." The palace maid didn't seem very happy when she saw Concubine Zhu, so she hurriedly responded.
