However, Zhang also knew that the possibility of these two types of occurrence was simply unlikely.

Empress Dowager Zhu personally raised Zhao Ban, and Cai Dao, a demon dao, was guarding her, and the others did not interfere at all.

Even if the eldest prince grows up in the future, when choosing a master for him, he, the financial minister, does have the right to recommend, but Zhao Xu must still rely on his own opinions, as well as Zhang Shangying, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zeng Zhao, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials. In this regard, Zeng Zhao and Zhang Shangying both have incomparable innate advantages.

Especially the Zeng family, whose tutors are famous all over the world.

However, in this regard, Zhang Dian was not too worried about the Zeng brothers, because the news came from Jiangnan West Road. Zeng Zhao and Zeng Bu's biological mother is very old, and she has recently become seriously ill, and it will not be long before she will return to heaven. Then, the four Zeng in Bianliang City must return to their hometowns and guard filial piety.

Even if Zhao Xu wants to regain his affection, the people of the Zeng family will definitely not continue to stay in Bianliang City.

So now, the people who can really restrain him in the court are Zhang Shangying and Cai Jing.

Zhang Shangying's attitude towards politics has always been relatively erratic, he is neither as neutral as the Su brothers, back then, in the last years of Yuanfeng, he also wanted to take refuge in Sima Guang, and Sima Guang originally wanted to accept him. But who knew that Sima Guang couldn't afford to be sick, but Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu couldn't look down on Zhang Shangying. Therefore, Zhang Shangying is easy for conservatives to hate, but in today's reform faction, except for a few people from the Shu Party, he can't find too many henchmen.

Therefore, after discussing with the criminal forgiveness, Zhang Dian took advantage of the impact of the untimely death of the little prince to drive Cai Jing out of Bianliang City.

So, Xing Shu instigated the imperial history of their side, and impeached Cai Jing one after another, saying that he wanted to take refuge in Sima Guang at both ends of the first rat in the last year of Yuanfeng, and if the matter was not revealed, he would have escaped a catastrophe.

Some people even found out from nowhere the letter written by Cai Jing to Sima Guang back then.

The content in it is extremely flattering, and if Cai Dao is allowed to read it, he will be ashamed.

After Zhao Xu saw it, it was even more incredible.

Originally, if this kind of thing happened, if there was a change of officials, such as Zeng Bu, the officials would turn a blind eye and would not be ready to investigate the rights and wrongs of the year. However, who let the person who had the accident be Cai Dao's own uncle Cai Jing?

Love the house and the black, and sometimes it can also be hating the house and the black.

Because the little prince Zhao Mao died suddenly, but Cai Dao cured the eldest prince, which made Zhao Xu hold back an evil fire in his heart. finally found an opportunity, how could he let go of the opportunity to hit Cai Dao.

As a result, not long after the death of the little prince, Zhang Shangying and Cai Jing were dismissed at the same time, and the two of them were moved to Huainan West Road and Huainan East Road respectively to replace the two remaining leaders of the Shuo Party and serve as transfer envoys.

Now, the entire court is full of Zhang Dan's henchmen, or those officials who dare not work against Zhang Dian.

It's a pity that Zhao Xu's idea was wrong from the beginning.

Cai Dao also wished that his father and uncle would leave Bianliang City as soon as possible.

The stay of these two traitors in Bianliang City is not good for their reputation.

Affected by this, even Cai You's errand was lost.

For this, Cai You was a little happy, although the ordnance supervisor made great contributions to the Great Song Dynasty's victory over Western Xia, but the support from the rear was always so inconspicuous. There is a lot of work, little salary, and seeing the silver spent in vain, Cai You does not dare to embezzle. Therefore, he has long been tired of being in this position. This incident also deepened his dislike for the Zhao Song royal family.

He and his father worked hard for his wife and brother for so long, but they couldn't resist a rumor, a thin piece of paper. At that time, apart from Zhang Dian and Cai Qu, how many people in the Fa-Reform faction did not write to Sima Guang, Lu Gongshu or Wen Yanbo. Others don't say it, Xing Shu and Yang Wei were so speculative that they escaped the catastrophe of being exiled to Lingnan.

What's more, Cai Qu's death is directly related to Yang Wei and Xing Shu.

Doesn't Zhao Xu really know this?

I'm afraid that Cai You's brother-in-law already knew it.

However, Cai You hid all this in his heart, and his face was never revealed in front of the five princesses. In fact, it's okay to stay at home while the two daughters are still young and enjoy the joy of family.

Zhao Xu also changed the yuan in this year, and the era name was yuanfu.

Not long after, news came from Jiangnan West Road that Zeng Zhao and Zeng Bu's mother Zhu died of illness, and Zeng Gong was also seriously ill at the same time.

Zhao Xu stayed again and again, but how could the Zeng brothers agree.

So, Zhao Xu had no choice but to give the Zhu family a decree and allow the four of them to return to their hometowns. Among the four people, the third and fourth are not young, and once they return to their hometowns, I am afraid it will be difficult to enter Beijing in this life.

Zeng Zhao's health is not very good, plus his mother is filial, if he grieves too much, it will also hurt the fundamentals, keep filial piety for three years, and then recuperate for a few years, at that time, his age is not suitable for being an official now.

Thinking of this, seeing the four people who were grieving, Cai Dao, who came to see them off, left tears.

During the years in Cai's Academy, Zeng Zhu's attitude towards Cai Dao was as close as his grandson.

It's a pity that this time, Cai Dao asked the Queen Mother for a decree and wanted to go to Nanfeng to worship Zeng Zhu's family, and by the way, he went to visit Zeng Gong.

But Empress Dowager Zhu was afraid that Cai Dao would go this time, once Zeng Gong died of illness, this kid would definitely take this opportunity to keep filial piety for Zeng Gong, and stay there for several years. After the last incident, Empress Dowager Zhu was really a little scared.

The only grandson is still raised by her personally. In case there are three longs and two shorts, how can she explain to her son?

Empress Dowager Zhu really guessed correctly this time. Cai Dao really planned to do so.

Although Cai Dao and Zeng Gong have not been together for a long time, they are like master and apprentice. For Zeng Gong to keep filial piety, it is not only to pay off, but also to avoid disaster.

Seeing that, Zhao Xu is becoming more and more greedy for women, which leads to his young age, but his body is extremely unhealthy. And Empress Dowager Zhu, who is a mother, is not easy to persuade each other, and if she persuades too much, it will cause Zhao Xu's disgust and rebellion.

It's a pity that Cai Dao's plan can only be stillborn.

Si Zeng and Cai Jing left the dynasty one after another, and at this time, above the court, although Zhang Dian was named the Minister of Finance, he was only a third envoy, but he did become the only one in the world of the Great Song Dynasty.

And Zhao Xu in this period is a bit of the shadow of Song Zhenzong back then.

The new law has been fully rolled out in the whole north, and the repercussions and effects among the people are much better than those of the Xining and Yuanfeng reforms of the first emperor Zhao Ji.

The Western Xia Kingdom finally surrendered.
