Su Song didn't answer, in his heart, Zhao Xu's words were just a kind of 'stubbornness'.

Changing places, facing the courtiers for seven years, can only look at an ass, no one cares about him, almost never staged, all kinds of intentional or unintentional 'bullying', not to mention the emperor, that is, ordinary people will retaliate against the 'old party', but to different degrees.

Thinking about the 'Fangtian Average Tax Law' implemented by Kaifeng Prefecture, measuring the acres of land is only the first step, and the population will be counted and registered after a month, and the acres will be redivided in the second half of the year.

Any of these three steps is the destruction of the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty - the gentry.

This kind of behavior is unprecedented!

This is shaking the country's foundation!

When Su Song was able, he constantly tried to use various means to control, prevent, delay, and adjust the 'new law' that he thought might provoke drastic changes, but without exception, all ended in failure.

He is not the opponent of Zhang Dian, Cai Bian and others, the fundamental reason is that this official is biased.

This young official has a strong sense of ambition, just like a fledgling young man who is eager to be recognized, he tries his best to perform, show, and make achievements for everyone to see.

This kind of thing, in the average family, the elders are happy to see this, but this one is different!

- This is the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, and his urgency will bring irreversible and terrible consequences to the Great Song Dynasty!

Su Song thought a lot in his mind for a while, and the ones he thought of on the road had been thrown aside by him.

Seeing Zhao Xu's appetite, Su Song had no appetite at all.

He had tried countless times to persuade and influence the young official, but he showed unusual maturity and had countless firm ideas about many things, and seemed to have no success at all.

Su Song was habitually silent.

Empress Meng pursed the corners of her mouth slightly, and her heart was somewhat secretly relaxed.

She has always been worried that Su Song will say too radical words and do something that makes Zhao Xu angry, so it will be difficult for Su Song to die well.

Zhao Xu ate by himself, today's meal was unusually in line with his appetite.

I don't know how long it has been, Su Song spoke again: "The official's vision has always been long-term, and the ministers, Zhang Dian, Cai Bian and others are all admired. The official family should be able to see that if nothing else, just talk about the 'Fangtian Equal Tax Law', if a Kaifeng Mansion is still like this, it may cause chaos in the world if it is put into the world. ”

Su Song's words came to this point, and he didn't say much.

If you want to leverage the vested interests of the past hundred years, that is to oppose the people of the world!

Zhao Xu took a sip of soup and slowly put down the dishes and chopsticks, he was almost finished.

Picking up the towel beside him and wiping his mouth, Zhao Xu looked at Su Song and said with a smile: "Does the Su Qing family want to say that if it weren't for the existence of the ancestral system, I'm afraid that the whole world would be against it, someone would have led troops into the capital a long time ago?" ”

The most critical point of the ancestral system of the Great Song Dynasty is two words: checks and balances.

There are many checks and balances in the imperial court, and there is no real person in charge of any yamen, even if it is the so-called 'ruling power', and the power is divided and restricted.

The so-called 'generals do not know the soldiers and do not know the generals' is only a superficial thing, and the mobilization of troops in the local area is even more strict to the extreme.

It can be said that without Zhao Xu's will in Bianjing City, almost no one can mobilize a single soldier!

In the Great Song Dynasty, there were no local troops, all of them were - forbidden army!

The word 'forbidden' says it all - the emperor's private soldiers, the regular army of the entire Great Song Dynasty, all of them!

Su Song's face was pale, his expression was silent, and after a while, he said: "Official, there is a balance in everything, and no one can accept breaking this balance." The law-changing faction is too angry, and sooner or later it will backfire on itself. ”

Su Song didn't say anything like 'please think twice', just like a normal chat, his tone was flat and gentle.

The 'Fangtian Average Tax Law' really touched everyone, at the beginning, the entire Kaifeng Mansion was opposed, even the ordinary people who were about to benefit, it can be said that it was completely the imperial court that was bent on going its own way.

Even if Zhao Xu announced to the world under the Xuande Gate, trying to use tax cuts and land distribution to win over the people, divide and suppress the gentry group, and use the popular academy to create new scholar forces, but after all, it has not been implemented, and there is no large-scale new beneficiary, the imperial court is still alone, and Zhang Dian and Cai Bian are still traitors and thieves who bring disaster to the country and the people.

Empress Meng's expression was calm, but she was actually nervous in her heart, and her hands unconsciously grabbed the corners of her clothes.

Su Song's 'anti-self-devouring' is very reminiscent of the 'old and new' party struggles in the Xining period, as well as the 'abolition of the new law' in the early Yuan Dynasty.

Zhao Xu looked at Su Song, and didn't know why, but suddenly remembered the end of the Northern Song Dynasty in history, that is, almost twenty years later.

At that time, the Jin soldiers besieged Kaifeng City for the second time, and the hundred officials in Kaifeng City not only didn't think about how to resist, but also blindly 'sued for peace', and even instigated Song Qinzong to go to the Jin military camp in person to 'show sincerity'!

Such an unbelievable thing happened as a matter of course, as if few people felt that it was inappropriate??

Looking at Su Song's expression, Zhao Xu only had four words in his heart: one line!

If Su Song had changed at that time, would he be the majority of the staunch 'peace-seeking faction', the 'main battle faction' of a few or two people, or the silent 'centrist'?

Zhao Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Su Song.

Empress Meng seemed to feel that the atmosphere in the remote room suddenly turned cold, and her expression became more and more nervous.

Su Song knew that his words would stimulate Zhao Xu, but seeing Zhao Xu's face change suddenly, his eyes gradually sharpened, and he was puzzled.

But before he could think clearly, Zhao Xu said word by word: "If you are destined to lose the country, then you will die in the process of changing the law to become strong, and changing the law to survive!" I, tell you Su Song, in Yuanyou, here in me, there is no alliance of the abyss, there is no harmony under the city, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, slander the evil for thousands of years, I am fearless and fearless, and I will never retreat half a step from you! ”

Empress Meng's eyes widened, looking at Zhao Xu's side face, and she was extremely stunned.

She thought that even if Zhao Xu was angry, she would restrain herself, after all, this was the last time the emperor and prime minister met, and they would leave each other with dignity.

But Zhao Xu's words are already a kind of 'declaration of war'!

Su Song, who has always been calm, looked at Zhao Xu in a daze, but at this time, he was also in shock in his heart, and his face was constantly changing.

He didn't know why his words caused Zhao Xu to make such a fierce statement, such fierce words, what happened?

Su Song couldn't speak for a while.

In Zhao Xu's words, he involved the death of the country, the alliance of the Yuanyuan, and the name behind him, all of which were extremely important matters, and they would not be easily said without enough stimulation.

Zhao Xu's eyes were burning and his expression was firm, and he looked at Su Song and said, "Su Song, you are very disappointed in me. If today, you Kang made an impassioned speech, and even forced you to die, I would praise you a few times and personally send you out of Beijing. You, you, are as weak and incompetent as ever, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, except for infighting, striving for merit and fame, greedy for enjoyment, and being completely safe...... Nothing! ”
