All this, of course, is due to the stability of Chang'an Mansion.

Because of Cai Dao, the old man Sun Jue has been in the prefect of Chang'an Mansion for several years, and with Zhang Shuye and Zong Ze, the two future big bulls, he is foiled, and now the grain produced in Chang'an Mansion alone is enough to meet the military supply problem of the entire local garrison in the northwest.

This is not only known to Song Shenzong, but also to Zhao Xu himself.

On the contrary, the Liao-Song border, which has not experienced war for many years, has become a very big hidden danger.

Zhao Xu knew in his heart that after eight years of tossing, the conservatives had exhausted the vitality of Hebei Zhulu, whether it was the forbidden army in Bianliang City or the box army in the capital and county of Hebei, it was not at all worth a battle.

Fortunately, the situation of the Liao State has also been poor in recent years, with the faint monarch in office and the traitorous ministers in charge. The dignified queen and prince of a country were framed to death by the ministers, which is nothing new in the feudal dynasty, but Yelu Hongji is not Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and he does not have a capable minister like Huo Guang to assist the prince.

If Zhao Xu is satisfied with the status quo, he can ignore Hebei's military strength. But every emperor of the Song Dynasty will have a dream, that is, to recover the sixteen states of Youyun.

Zhao Xu will naturally be an exception.

Therefore, Cai Dao recommended Zhang Shuye and Zong Ze, who performed well in Chang'an Mansion, to Hebei Second Road. Cai Dao wanted to put the West Hebei Road near the Liao border under the control of Zong Ze, while Zhang Shuye wanted to re-establish a coastal city near the Bohai Bay.

As for the candidate for the transfer envoy of Hedong Road, Cai Dao recommended Zhang Lei.

This Qing official is very suitable for the current situation on Hedong Road, and it is most suitable to calm the town.

He also suggested that this time not to recruit the Su brothers into Beijing, on the one hand, they are too old to run around on the road, Su Shi can do more good words when he stays in Hangzhou, and Su Zhe can arrange him in Jiangling Mansion to serve as the transfer envoy of Jinghu North Road.

Because, once Zhao Xu made up his mind to move the capital to Luoyang, food would become a big problem. And Zhang Dian has opened up Jinghu South Road into a big granary, and Su Zhe only needs to maintain the road of Jinghu North Road. Although the relocation of the capital to Luoyang has extended the distance from Jiangnan grain to the capital, the source of Luoyang's grain has become more diversified.

After that, Cai Dao didn't say anything more in the letter, but just nodded six points.

He himself understands the meaning of this symbol, but Zhao Xu doesn't understand, he still has some backlash against Cai Dao's intention to meddle in the appointment of ministers in the DPRK and China, but for what Cai Dao wrote, Zhao Xu has to admit that the people he recommended are basically competent.

Zhao Xu read the letter twice again, and then instructed Liang Shicheng to take the candle in the hall, and he burned the letter to ashes with his own hands, so he was relieved.

Later, when he met with the important ministers who were summoned by himself, Zhao Xu did not dwell on the matter of the Yellow River embankment, nor did he criticize Yang Wei for the negligence of the soldiers and civilians who protected the embankment. To be honest, after he heard Cai Dao's heart-wrenching remarks just now, he couldn't wait to push Yang Wei out and behead him, but after a few hours, Zhao Xu had already let go of this knot.

Cai Dao made it very clear at the time that this was not Yang Wei's fault, but the norm in the entire Great Song Dynasty civil official group today. Even killing Yang Wei because of this will not help.

The turmoil of one day disappeared invisibly in half a day.

Just when everyone was speculating about what kind of big turmoil Cai Dao would set off after entering Beijing this time, a series of personnel appointments were suddenly issued the next day.

The first holy decree was that Zhao Hanzhen immediately stepped down as the prefect of Chang'an Mansion and the Yongxing Military Road Transit Envoy, and after returning to Beijing, he was appointed as the left servant of Shangshu and the servant of the door. Because of the heavy rain, Zhao Xu had already wiped out the five prime ministers before.

It is imperative to erect the power of the prime minister, but this matter cannot be rushed, and the court is indispensable for a while. Therefore, Han Jin, who is mediocre and old, has become the best candidate for solitary appearance at this time.

And Zhang Dun unexpectedly did not become the official position of any prime minister this time, but was appointed as the third envoy. Although this official position does not have the prime minister and privy envoys, it is the scorpion's poop - the only one!

With the presence of the three envoys of Zhangdun, the household servant and the deputy envoy of the three divisions have basically become decorations. The financial power of the entire Great Song Dynasty is basically in his hands.

However, the third holy decree was to transfer Liu Zhi back to Beijing and appoint him as the envoy to the Western Xia Kingdom, but his deputy was also Liang Tao, a member of the Shuo Party. Zhao Xu clearly pointed out in the holy decree that Liu Zhi sent an envoy to Western Xia this time, and he would do whatever it took to seek peace, and as a last resort, he could cede Hongde City to Western Xia.

The third decree was in an uproar.

Zhang Dian immediately entered the palace in a rage to find Zhao Xu to theorize and persuade him to withdraw this holy decree.

However, it didn't take half an hour, and Zhang Dan, who was still angry and fierce just now, suddenly walked out of the Qinzheng Hall with a smile. It was very strange in the hearts of people who met him on the road, how could Zhang Dian, who had lost his positive position, be able to laugh at this time?

Didn't this guy go to the counselor's house just now?

The next thing was even more strange, Zhao Xu did not retract this edict, and the ministers of the law change faction were surprisingly unanimous and ignored this matter.

In fact, the reason why Zhang Dian is happy is very simple. Although he lost his official position, his authority was greater than before.

The first batch of new laws to be reinstated have been determined to be enforced by the three divisions, and the candidates for the deputy envoy of the three divisions and the judges of the three divisions will be nominated by Zhang Dian himself. This actually shows that Zhao Xu has handed over the entire three envoys to Zhang Dian alone, and he has become a veritable financial minister.

Moreover, Zhao Xu also told Zhang Dian all the methods of appointing Shuo party members as envoys and Cai Dao's method of rectifying conservative ministers.

Can he not be happy?

At that time, when Zhang Dian was laughing, he had to sigh that the blue is better than the blue, and in terms of rectifying political enemies, this political veteran also had to admit that he was not as good as Cai Dao's doll!

This kid is so poisonous!

So, Zhang Dan just stopped. He was now busy with the affairs of the three divisions, and at the same time he was looking forward to the Empress Dowager Liang of the Western Xia Kingdom swallowing the incense bait thrown by Zhao Xu.

As for why the Cai brothers also chose to stop fighting, Cai Jing and Cai Bian are both human spirits, seeing that Zhang Dian has extinguished the fire, how can they come out so easily?

The fourth holy decree was given to Su Zhe, and Zhao Xu appointed him as the prefect of Jiangling Prefecture and the transit envoy of Jinghu North Road.

Everyone in the court thought that after Zhao Xu took office, he would definitely return one of the Su brothers to serve as prime minister. Su Shi is a big mouth, and it is normal to be the first to be excluded, but this time, Zhao Xu appointed Su Zhe as a local magistrate, but did not edict Su Shi back to the capital, it is really confusing for the second monk!

Subsequently, Zhang Shuye and Zong Ze were appointed as the governors of Cangzhou and Dingzhou, and not many people paid attention to them. Although these two people have high merit, they are not officials of the Fa-changing faction, but subordinates of Sun Jue of the middle faction.

Nowadays, they have all taken the imperial examination.

Uncle Zhang's qualifications are not hindered because he is a shadow supplement, but Zong Ze's identity is problematic. Fortunately, next year will be the year of a new round of imperial examinations, and with Zong Ze's level, it is not a problem to get into the Jinshi. However, this is also another important reason why Cai Dao recommended Zong Ze to be the governor of Cangzhou. Compared with Hebei West Road, which is located in the inland area, Cangzhou in the Song Dynasty was close to the sea and easy to accept the funding of the Cai family's fleet.

It is entirely possible that this place will no longer be cultivated for grain, but for cotton. This kind of cash crop has not yet been popularized in the Great Song Dynasty, so vigorously developing cotton cultivation in Cangzhou is a good way to boost the local economy at a high speed.

As for the prefect of Taiyuan Mansion, the position of the Hedong Road transfer envoy, at the beginning, Zhao Xu already had his own optimistic candidate, but after reading the personal resume sent by the Imperial City Division, he deeply sighed for Zhang Lei's character and situation.

Such a good official, a clean official, has always been squeezed out and suppressed by officials of the reformers and conservatives because of partisan disputes, because his teacher is Su Shi.

It's really too deceitful, even the most mediocre emperor will respect those honest and self-disciplined officials very much. What's more, Zhao Xu is not a faint gentleman. So, Zhao Xu had to accept Cai Dao's opinions this time, the key is that these people he recommended are too suitable.

There is nothing to say about political achievements and character. In particular, the last three petty officials can already be used as models for officials in the Great Song Dynasty, and these three officials are not at all like conservative officials, who rise high and go up, collude with local tyrants, and ignore the sufferings of the people.

In the next few days, Zhao Xu seemed to have forgotten Cai Dao, who had entered Beijing, not because he didn't want to see him, but because he didn't want to see him. In case, if Cai Dao promotes officials to him again, won't he, the emperor, become the puppet of this Luo pot?

Even if the person recommended by Cai Dao is very suitable and there is no problem, Zhao Xu will still feel uncomfortable.

On this day, Cai Dao was recruited into the palace again, because Lu Jia asked back.
