In the main hall of Cining Palace, because of Zhao Xu's few words, the quiet needle drop can be heard.

Zhao Xu pointed out the truth of this matter, that is, someone maliciously framed Queen Meng!

framing the queen and dividing the feelings of the emperor and queen is not a misdemeanor.

In the quiet, someone gradually came back to the taste and looked at Wang Jieyu and the three of them who had just come in!

Wang Jieyu lowered her head, feeling a few glances, her delicate body trembled, her face was a little panicked, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and did not move.

Zhao Xu was still looking at the two pieces of paper in his hand, as well as the entry and exit records of each hall.

The palace maid on the ground trembled, she was very smart, otherwise she would not have been assigned to sue, but after being hit by Zhao Xu's few words, she didn't answer immediately, and being silent for so long was equivalent to acquiescence!

No matter how much you say, it's useless!

The palace maid's face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were full of fear.

She already understood her fate, she wanted to look behind and ask for help, but she didn't dare, as long as she turned around, she would die miserably!

Zhao Xu flipped through the paper and made a subtle sound, which made the hearts of everyone in the hall tremble.

Su Song looked at Zhao Xu's movements, and sighed lightly in his heart, but he was a little relaxed. As long as it is not abolished, he disposes of a few Jieyu and beauties, he doesn't care, and it doesn't matter much.

Zhang Dian's eyes were sharp, and he glanced at Wang Jieyu and the others, and his expression flashed with disdain.

Cai Bian and Han Zongdao bowed, this matter has nothing to do with them, they are at most a witness.

Empress Dowager Gao couldn't stand such silence, and said, "Official, since the Meng family is wronged, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhao Xu raised his head, looked at the palace maid kneeling on the ground, and said, "You may not know everything, but you must know a lot." Such a big thing as framing the queen should not only be a matter in the palace. Without the cooperation and support from outside the palace, the palace can't do it, and it doesn't dare. Even if you barely do it, you won't get what you want. Therefore, the big names inside and outside the palace must have met recently, and not once or twice. ”

The palace maid on the ground shrank her head and was cold.

"Wang Jieyu." Zhao Xu suddenly looked at the one among the three women and said loudly.

Wang Jieyu's face changed suddenly, she knelt on the ground with a puff, and said urgently: "The official family, the concubines are wronged, and these have nothing to do with the concubines......

Wang Jieyu is sixteen or seventeen years old, with white skin and beautiful appearance, giving people a feeling of being knowledgeable and gentle.

But at the moment, her voice trembled.

Su Song, Zhang Dian and the others are all human spirits, and they can't see it, staring at Wang Jieyu with different expressions.

Even Zhou He, Chen Pi and others quietly shook their heads.

Wang Jieyu's words are equivalent to admitting her guilt.

Zhao Xu closed the things in his hand, stood up, looked at the two beauties with pale faces behind Wang Jieyu, and said, "How much do you know?" ”

As soon as Zhao Xu asked, the two beauties couldn't support it anymore, their bodies went weak, they collapsed to the ground, and cried: "Official, we don't know anything, we just know that Wang Jieyu and her uncle have quietly met once, and the others really don't know......"

Wang Jieyu knelt on the ground, gritted her teeth, and said: "The official family, the concubine is wronged, and the uncle entered the palace just to visit the concubine, not a conspiracy." ”

Zhao Xu's face was expressionless, and he said, "I sent someone to lock up Qi Guogong at this time, do you think he will be the same as what you said?" ”

Wang Jieyu looked frightened, her lips were biting and bleeding, and her eyes were full of grievances and resentment.

Empress Dowager Gao's face was ugly, she slowly sat up with her hands on the chair, pointed at Wang Jieyu with her finger, and said angrily: "Okay, good, you are all good, my old woman, you are really blind......"

First Lu Dafang and others, then Zhao Hao, and now it is her turn to choose the harem for Zhao Xu, this series of accidents made Empress Dowager Gao disgraced and angry.

Zhao Xu didn't care about the angry Empress Dowager Gao, looked down at Wang Jieyu, looked at the palace maid again, and said lightly: "This palace maid will be killed with a cane." Wang Jieyu and others entered the cold palace and waited for the fate. Except for the queen and Liu Meiren, the other palace concubines were all demoted to the third rank. Chen Pi, check them one by one, check them clearly, until they are clear, no one is allowed to enter and leave the halls! Sage, you can do this matter, you are the queen of the Middle Palace, don't use me to teach you everything! ”

Empress Meng breathed a sigh of relief, leaned over dignifiedly, her pretty face was solemn, and she said in a calm tone: "The concubine has the order." ”

The palace maid didn't cry out for injustice, so she was dragged out.

Wang Jieyu and the other three were as white as paper, and they didn't dare to speak.

A thrilling 'witch case' ended in Zhao Xu's words.

When the palace was clean, Zhao Xu looked at the Empress Dowager Gao, walked over, held her arm, and said, "Grandmother doesn't need to worry, it is an abscess that will attack sooner or later, and it is not a good thing to cut it off earlier." ”

Empress Dowager Gao looked at Zhao Xu, her eyes were a little dazed, her eyes widened, she shook her head again, held Zhao Xu's arm with one hand, turned around with difficulty, and said, "The old woman is old, don't bother me about the big and small things in and out of the palace in the future." ”

Zhou He hurriedly stepped forward, supported the Empress Dowager Gao, and walked in the direction of the dormitory.

When the Empress Dowager Gao left, Zhang Duan groaned, stepped forward, and said, "Official, this matter still needs to be kept secret." ”

Zhao Xu saw the Empress Dowager Gao leave, turned his head to look at Zhang Dan, and then glanced at Su Song, Cai Bian, and Han Zongdao. ”

Su Song, Zhang Dian and others raised their hands and followed Zhao Xu out of Cining Palace.

Out of Cining Palace, Zhao Xu walked slowly and said, "Zhang Xianggong, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Dunjian's eyebrows were sharp, his tone was flat, and he said: "Just now, Cai Shangshu of the Criminal Department said that behind the fire to open the Feng Mansion, there is the shadow of the Duke of Qi State, but they did it very cleanly and did not catch a trace of evidence. ”

Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Su Song, and said, "I know something about the things in the Xining period, did you also encounter this situation when the prince changed the law?" ”

Su Song bowed slightly, seemed to recall, and said, "No." ”

Zhang Dian looked at him coldly, maybe there was no fire to open the Feng Mansion at the beginning, but the 'new law' was not implemented at all, from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside! Not to mention Wang Anshi, even Emperor Shenzong is under tremendous pressure from the two palaces!

If Wang Anshi dared to implement it so thoroughly, the government and the opposition would face Emperor Shenzong and Wang Anshi, and they would be able to do it if they were afraid of burning the palace!

Zhao Xu didn't care whether it was true or not, stopped, looked at the bright sky, his eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and said: "King Yan died of illness, grandmother is no longer involved in court politics, the harem will be cleaned up, I have no problem here." ”

Zhao Xu's words are concise and meaningful!

Zhang Dian stood up straight, raised his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the ministers will sort out clearly before the end of the court holiday, and the pilot project of Kaifeng Mansion must be implemented on time!" On the honor's side, the ministers will personally have a good talk with Qi Guogong and others! ”

Zhang's words were as sonorous as a knife soldier, full of boiling killing intent.

But he said 'let's talk'.

Zhao Xu put his hands behind his back, did not move, and suddenly said: "Su Xianggong, Han Xianggong?" ”

Su Song was the prime minister and the leader of the imperial court; Han Zongdao is the governor of the government and the leader of Kaifeng Mansion, and the two of them are in the 'Kaifeng Mansion Pilot', and their position and identity are extremely important.

The lack of a comprehensive revival of the new law has made Su Song breathe a sigh of relief, and it is impossible for him to continue to ask for more, listening to Zhao Xu's words, Su Song muttered a little, and said: "The minister will temporarily borrow the prime minister's big seal from the green tile house until the end of the court holiday." ”

Zhao Xu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Han Xianggong." ”

Han Zongdao saw that Su Songdu handed over the Great Seal, and was silent for a while, and said: "It is the duty of the minister to eliminate maladministration and benefit the people, and the minister will follow the will of the official family and the order of the court to implement the new law in Kaifeng Mansion." ”

Zhao Xu smiled, feeling a lot more relaxed, and said: "The Political Affairs Hall will set up a 'New Law Group' in Kaifeng Mansion, composed of people from the six departments and three temples, this group is under the dual jurisdiction of Kaifeng Mansion and Political Affairs Hall, Han Xianggong should not have any resistance, and will withdraw it in the future." ”

Han Zongdao suddenly felt a little itchy on his scalp, and he forcibly didn't move, and said, "Yes, the minister understands." ”

Su Song was on crutches and looked silent.

The resurgence of the 'new law' is already the trend of the times, and no one can stop it. It's just that now this emperor has gone farther than his father, and his methods are more fierce and ruthless! This is just the beginning of such a big backlash, and if it goes on, can Da Song really hold on?

As a person who has been up and down in the sea for decades, especially in the center of the imperial court for nearly twenty years, perhaps no one here knows the real situation of the Great Song Dynasty better than Su Song.

It seems to be rich, but in fact, it is strong on the outside and dry in the middle, with wind everywhere and rain leaking from all sides.

Zhao Xu turned around, looked at Zhang Dian and said, "Your guards, I will increase it to one hundred for you, and you will take it with you in and out." ”

Zhang Xuan knew what Zhao Xu meant, his face did not move, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Xu put his hands behind his back, moved his shoulders, and said, "I haven't bowed for a long time, I'll go to Keju later, and I'll hand it over to a few ministers outside." ”

Zhang Danjian raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "The minister's lunch is going to the Duke of Qi's mansion." ”

Zhao Xu suddenly smiled and said, "Eat well, eat enough." ”

Zhangdun stood straight, his eyes blazing.

Cai Bian watched from the sidelines, and he didn't understand anything. This pair of monarchs and ministers have long been planning to make a move on Xungui, and Zhang Dian has endured it for so long, but I am afraid that it is not as simple as 'eating enough'.

Zhao Xu didn't say much, he held down Su Song and Han Zongdao, and Zhang Xuan would naturally handle other things.

Although Zhang Dan has a burst temper and would rather bend than bend, he knows the overall situation better and knows what to do.
