In the Imperial Garden,

Zhao Xu gritted his teeth and ran several laps in a row, until he couldn't hold on anymore, and then he gasped and stopped.

Above the court, Empress Dowager Gao ignored his feelings, and arrogantly made him proud of the punishment of rape and evil to make it exist in name only, if it wasn't for Fan Zheng to come forward, he would probably become a laughing stock.

Seeing Zhao Xu vent the depression in his heart, Fan Zheng stepped forward and handed over the towel.

"When will I be able to pro-government?" Zhao Xu gritted his teeth and said in a low voice,

Now it is the eighth year of Yuan You, he is seventeen years old, eighteen years old, the concubines of the harem are happy, according to the regulations, the empress dowager should return to power, and even if the Empress Dowager Gao has let King Yong leave Beijing, she still has no intention of returning to power, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are also pretending to be deaf and dumb.

Fan Zheng sighed and persuaded: "Don't worry, don't worry, this matter will be discussed in the long run." ”

Zhao Xu frowned, and said hatefully: "In the long run, you also said that power is the biggest poison in the world, if I don't fight, I'm afraid I can only take the road of Renzong and wait for another seven years!" Fan Aiqing I want you to help me. ”

Fan Zheng and Zhao Xu glanced at each other, nodded and said: "In the palace, the official family has been almost arranged, Empress Dowager Xiang and Empress Meng are on the side of the official family, the current situation is dominant, and the most important thing now is the court, and the most important thing is the attitude of the three prime ministers." ”

Zhao Xu nodded solemnly and said, "I wonder if Fan Aiqing can convince Fan Xianggong?" ”

Fan Chunren is the prime minister of the dynasty, if Fan Zheng can persuade his second uncle to support Fan Zheng's pro-government, it will naturally greatly increase the bargaining chips of pro-government.

Fan Zheng smiled bitterly: "The second uncle is already a very popular minister, and there is nothing in the world that can impress him, and then he is stubborn, forcing the empress dowager to return to power, which is against the way of the monarch and the minister, he will definitely refuse, of course, the official family is also a king, so his greatest possibility is neutrality." ”

Zhao Xu's face suddenly darkened, but he was not surprised, after all, Fan Zheng, coupled with the reputation of the Fan family, Fan Chunren would at least not object to his pro-government.

"As for Lu Xianggong, the official family can allow it to benefit!" Fan Zheng said in his heart.

"Promise it for profit!" Zhao Xu's heart moved, Lu Dafang has become the left minister, and there is only one position that can impress him, that is, the position of the current prime minister, but the current prime minister is Fan Chunren.

Fan Zheng said calmly: "The second uncle is the prime minister of the Empress Dowager who listens to the government, and he is a son of heaven and a courtier, so he naturally ............. ”

This is not Fan Zheng selling his uncle for glory, during the reign of the Empress Dowager, the prime minister was a change, almost once a year, even if there is no such thing, Fan Chunren's position as prime minister has come to time.

Zhao Xu solemnly promised: "Fan Xianggong has helped me a lot, even if I don't take charge of the government, I still won't treat him badly." ”

"And although Su Xianggong has always been neutral, he has a fatal flaw, that is, his brother Su Xianggong, if the official family can let Su Xianggong make mistakes, he will definitely be able to pull Su Xianggong into the water." Fan Zheng said in his heart, thinking of the Achilles heel of Su Zhe, who saved his brother and mad demon.

"Let the Sue scholar make a mistake?" Zhao Xu frowned.

Fan Zheng waved his hand and said: "That's not simple, as long as Scholar Su has a mouth, he can offend everyone, and the official family still remembers the case of forensic doctor Su Dun after Bi Sheng was rehabilitated." ”

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Of course!" ”

"Bi Sheng's greatest invention is movable type printing, which can greatly speed up the speed of printing, making printing extremely convenient, the Ministry of Rites is responsible for publishing the Chaotang Di Bao, and now it is still using engraving, if it is changed to movable type printing, it will certainly be able to greatly speed up the distribution of the Di Bao." Fan Zhengdao.

"This method works! But this is the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, so how can Su University make mistakes? Zhao Xu was puzzled.

"The reason why this amnesty has become a bad government in the world is that the court does not understand the people, if the official family allows the Ministry of Rites to collect the world's current affairs and publish them in the Di Bao at the same time, and with the Su University scholar who is anxious for justice and righteousness, and likes to fight grievances, he will definitely criticize the current status quo of the court and anger the Empress Dowager, and then the opportunity for the official family will come." Fan Zheng said confidently.

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, the character of Scholar Su is indeed cynical, and he has written many times to criticize the status quo of the court, if he is given the opportunity to express his views in front of the world, he will definitely not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"This law can also allow the official family to understand the major events in the world without leaving the palace, and it can also let the Manchu Dynasty see the current situation of poverty and weakness in the Great Song Dynasty, and will definitely strive for more officials to support the official family and support the change of the law to become strong."

Fan Zheng secretly said in his heart: Uncle Su, it's not that the little nephew calculates against you, but that you are really not suitable for the court to deceive me, and being in charge of the mouthpiece of the world is the best way for you to be a scholar of Su.

Zhao Xu was immediately amazed, a small newspaper was so useful.

"As for the court, there is a powerful force, don't the officials ignore it?" Fan Zheng reminded.

Zhao Xu was puzzled: "There is still a force? ”

"New Party!" Fan Zheng said solemnly.

Zhao Xu was suddenly solemn, once upon a time, according to his plan, after the pro-government, the new law was restarted and the new party was reused, until after meeting Fan Zheng, he almost forgot the huge force of the new party.

Although the New Party is now dormant, it still has an extremely large influence in the court and among the people.

"After the government is in power, if it wants to neutralize the government, it will naturally reuse the new party, and how can the new party sit back and enjoy its achievements without contributing to it." Fan Zheng frowned.

Zhao Xu nodded approvingly.

The next day, the court.

Once again, the atmosphere of former harmony was restored, and the first head-to-head confrontation between Empress Dowager Gao and the official family seemed to have never happened.

After dealing with the political affairs of the court, Zhao Xu suddenly said: "Su Aiqing, I heard that the court newspaper is still using engraving printing?" ”

Su Shi replied truthfully: "Qiqi official, there is indeed such a thing!" ”

Zhao Xu laughed and said: "Su Aiqing is not as good as Ling Lang, Judge Su once gave me a play for Bi Sheng to redress grievances, I know that the speed of movable type printing is hundreds of times faster than engraving printing, if you can switch to movable type printing, wouldn't it be a day to copy the newspaper, so that the officials of the world can get the court's instructions as soon as possible, wouldn't it be a good policy." ”

Nowadays, the newspaper is extremely cumbersome, usually only one newspaper is issued in ten years, and the layout is limited, if it is changed to movable type printing, it can not only greatly increase the speed, but also increase the content of the newspaper.

"But since Bi Sheng printed Renzong's "National Book", it has long been ordered inside and outside the court that movable type printing should no longer be used." Su Shi frowned.

Zhao Xu was prepared, and said loudly: "That's because Bi Sheng's wooden movable type has been stored for too long, resulting in deformation, and now most of the people have used clay movable type printing, which has put an end to this phenomenon, and the imperial court still uses engraving printing, I'm afraid it has long been outdated." ”

"The official is wise!" Su Shi nodded.

"In addition, I and the Empress Dowager live in the court, I don't know about civil affairs, amnesty is good governance but evil government is a precedent, Su Aiqing can also print the world's major events and people's sufferings on the palace newspaper when printing the newspaper, so that the government and the opposition have mutual news, and the government decree is unimpeded, so that the world can be governed."

"Official Shengming!" The ministers congratulated one after another.

I didn't realize what the impact of the new style of mansion was so great.

Empress Dowager Gao instinctively felt that something was wrong, but the government and the opposition were not well informed, and the example of the amnesty that turned into a bad government was in front of her, and she couldn't directly oppose it.

"The minister will definitely live up to the grace of God!"

Su Shi was even more shocked in his heart, gearing up, ready to do a big job, completely unaware that this was a trap for him.
