Xu Jiang, Yang Wei and others did not dare to slack off, so they made large-scale adjustments to the Yellow River section of the two roads in Hebei and took it more seriously.

It's mid-August, and the rainy season may not pass until mid-September, and it's not the time to relax.

The Yellow River has undergone several artificial diverting times, and the flood control and discharge capacity is very problematic. Even if you spend this time safely, you will have to spend a lot of effort to rectify it later.

The crowd did not dare to slack off, and Zhao Si even came and went on both sides of the Yellow River, representing Zhao Xu to express condolences to the military and civilians and boost morale.

In Kaifeng City, Zhao Xu, who had been in the military camp for a few days, just returned to the palace and received a 800-mile memorial from Zhao Si, Xu and others.

Zhao Xu just took a quick look, looked at Tong Guan beside him, his eyes twitched and angry, saying, "Are you saying true?"

Tong Guan knew very well that there was a big problem, which was also the reason why Zhao Si, Xu Jiang and others sent him back.

Tong Guan bowed and said, "Yes. Your Highness Thirteen, Xu Shangshu and others dare not hide it. They sent villains back to report the letter to the official family as soon as possible."

Zhao Xu suddenly wrote a compilation and said coldly: "What a courage! Call the three husbands to see me."

After saying that, he quickly walked towards the Chuigong Hall.

As he continues to increase his efforts and shows his importance to river management, someone actually dares to dig a dike!

Too bold!

Tangerine Pi, Tong Guan didn't dare to say much, and followed Zhao Xu back to Chuigong Hall.

Inside the arched hall.

Su Song, Zhang Dun, Cai Bian took turns reading the memorials of Zhao Si, Xu Jiang and others, and their faces changed suddenly and they couldn't believe it.

Cai Bian looked up at Zhao Xu and said in surprise: "Who is so bold to dig the dike and release the flood. I wonder how big it is!?"

Su Song was also calm and he had a premonition that this matter was unusual.

Zhang Dun has been away from the court for seven years and does not know much about some things. He couldn't figure out the reason, his eyebrows trembled and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the most important thing at the moment is to govern the river. I agree with the opinions of Shangshu Xu and others, press this matter first and then check it out in detail later!"

Zhao Xu suppressed his anger and said, "We must find out who is so brave! The Privy Council will control Yun Jiejun and must find out the truth! Also, is Yun Jiejun's strategic commander, Jiedushi, etc., in Beijing?"

Before Zhang Dun, who was also the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, spoke, Cai Bian said: "When I return to the official family, I am about to report this matter. Xie Lin led the way, with a total of three strategic envoys, four military governors, and many local officials, with a total of 67 people, submitted a memorial to resign."

Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you scared?"

Zhao Xu and the imperial court killed so many people one after another, and more were imprisoned. How could the high-ranking officials and nobles who were unscrupulous and fearless in the past not be afraid?

Cai Bian said: "It should be that I am considering what to do."

The Song Dynasty was as strict as the local army. It not only dismembered and balanced the military power, but also set up regiment training envoys, observation envoys, military governors, comforting and strategic envoys, etc., layer by layer, very complicated.

Zhao Xu snorted coldly and said, "What are you thinking about? No one is allowed to leave the seal without orders."

Cai Bian looked slightly shocked. These people can be regarded as chief officials of the border and have certain military power. If there are so many "demolished" in one breath, the impact will not be small!

Zhang Dun continued, saying, "I agree. Your Majesty, using these strategies and the Jiedushi involved in the Fan Bailu case as a cover, he quietly investigated the dike incident of two roads in Hebei."

Zhao Xu's eyes lit up and nodded, "What Zhang Xianggong said is very true. They are affiliated with the Privy Council, so the Privy Council will investigate. There will be a military judicial department in the Privy Council to investigate the two routes in Hebei first. We must investigate this matter clearly for me!"

I don’t know if it’s too sensitive, but Zhao Xu always feels that this matter is not that simple.

What Zhang Dun heard was the word "first to be right" and there was first and then, so the "Military and Justice Department" was no longer a temporary institution.

"I obey the order!" Zhang Dun quickly reacted, and before Su Song could be waited for something, Cai Bian raised his hand and said.

Su Song and Cai Bian were naturally not stupid, and they also smelled the smell from the dialogue between the king and the minister, but the situation was already done, so they had no time to object!

Zhao Xu Yuguang glanced at Su Song and Cai Bian and said, "Is the Censorate's quarrel so hard?"

Cai Bian did not bother those and said, "Yes. It's not just the Censorate, but there may be hundreds of people in the court and the country."

The "old party" used "exile" to clean up the "new party" and sent them to Lingnan, one side in the world. In this way, let alone forming a clique, if there is something wrong with the imperial court, it will be over and over again. When they react, the daylily will be cold.

However, Zhao Xu did not let the "old party" go. Whether it was involved in various cases, he was deposed, dismissed, and "replaced" or idle, hundreds of people of all sizes were detained in Kaifeng City.

So many people are idle, but they just want to cause trouble.

Zhao Xu thought to himself, looked at the three of them and said, "What are you going to do with it?"

Zhao Xu’s idea of ​​these people is that he would rather stay in the capital than let the disaster to the local area. What’s more, the “Xining Law” will be launched again next year and send these people to the local area in advance. Wouldn’t it be a cause of trouble?

Su Song was used to being silent. He was a symbol of "harmony in court" and nothing he said worked.

Zhang Dun said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the disasters in both directions of Hebei are serious, and countless people are displaced. The court needs to appease them. I want to send these people to comfort the victims and come back when the disaster is over. Not only the two directions of Hebei, but there are disasters everywhere in Lingnan. When the disaster is over, they can return to Beijing to report their lives."

Listening to Zhang Dun's suggestion, Zhao Xu immediately had another idea in his mind and smiled and said, "Zhang Xianggong's method is good. In this way, the Censorate will set up a nine-inspection censor to inspect all prefectures and prefectures across the Song Dynasty, investigate civil affairs, criminal cases, unjust prisons, warehousing, integrity, corruption, loyalty and treason, and reputation. If there is any problem, it will be transferred to the local government and submitted to the government affairs hall, supervise, track, and implement..."

Cai Bian is now leading the Censorate and can't help but think.

The Song Dynasty had a censor, but it was mostly abandoned and useless. Judging from the official’s intention, is it necessary to set up a permanent position and reuse it?

Zhang Dun raised his sword eyebrows, glanced at Cai Bian, and said, "The Political Affairs Hall received the order."

Zhao Xu nodded secretly, his tacit understanding with Zhang Dun was getting better and better, and said, "It's almost done, you can do other things."

"I am following the order. I will leave." Su Song, Zhang Dun, and Cai Bian quickly raised their hands and then withdrew from the Chuigong Hall.

Zhao Xu watched the three of them leave, took the teacup and drank it, but he still felt angry and looked murderous.

Even if you can do something like digging the Yellow River embankment, what else do they dare not do!

Must find it out!

Chen Pi stood aside, and when Zhao Xu calmed down a little, he whispered: "The official family, the King of Yan is sick. I have been recuperating in Cining Hall for a few days."

Zhao Xu held the teacup in his left hand, said with a smile, "I, the emperor, like to hide behind in everything, cherish my life for big things, and forget about small profits. How can we accomplish this?"

Chenpi and Tong Guan bowed slightly at the same time. They were both old men in the palace. As Zhao Xu's personal eunuch, they knew more, so how could they dare to talk too much?

Zhao Xu took a few sips of tea, looked outside with his eyes flashing slightly, and thought about the situation in his heart.

The court's structure is basically stable, and now it takes time to digest and consolidate.

In terms of the army, except for the Palace Front Office, the troops around Kaifeng Prefecture are currently in his hands. General Xu, Zong Ze and others are conducting intense adjustments, reorganizations and training.

When the dynasty is stable and the military power is in control, he will no longer be restrained and vigorously promote his reform plan!

It's less than September yet, and there are still three months to next year, and it's just right.

Zhao Xu subconsciously drank tea, his mind kept spinning.

After waiting for a while, Chenpi found a gap and said, "The official family, after the King of Yan fell ill, the Empress Dowager left the Cining Hall and went to see Concubine Zhu. She stayed in the Concubine Qingshou Hall for half an hour and rewarded a lot of things. Finally, it was Concubine Zhu who gave it."

Zhao Xu blinked, put down the teacup, and said, "Go to the birthday palace."

Tangerine responded and hurriedly went to make arrangements.

Zhao Xu was about to leave, but turned to Tong Guan and said, "If you hold the gold medal and go to the military camp outside the city, what trouble will you have? Depend on the situation, you can take action first and then report."

Tong Guan looked shocked, which was equivalent to handing over the power of the military camp outside the city to him, the eunuch!

Tong Guan knelt down with a thud and said, "I am obeying the will of the official family, be careful and never dare to make any mistakes!"

Zhao Xu waved his hand and went straight to the birthday palace.

At this time, Su Song, Zhang Dun, and Cai Bian had returned to the green tiled house.

Zhang Dun sat on the chair, and thoughts that had been unsustainable in his heart surged again. He looked at Shen Qi at the table and said, "Call Huang Lu and call him to the Western Palace. I will go to the Privy Council later. Also, let Han Zongdao come too."

Huang Lu was the chief censor recommended by Zhang Dun, and Han Zongdao was the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Just as Shen Qi was about to leave, Zhang Dun looked cold and said, "Call Xie Lin and others who wrote to the letter to resign to the West Mansion."

Shen Qi felt bad, so he glanced at Su Song and Cai Bian. Seeing that they didn't say anything, he said, "Yes."

Su Song was indifferent, but Cai Bian thought about it and said, "I am a little uneasy and want to go to Hebei Road to take a look."

The two routes in Hebei are not only very close to the lockdown, but also are the front line to defend the Liao people. If the here is washed away by floods, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Zhang Dun thought for a while and said, "You have a great goal. You have further sorted out the power and responsibilities of the court and the contacts with the local government. You also need to come up with a comprehensive outline for the "Xining Law" and the government should look at it. I have a general idea about the specific plan for next year. You can make a plan for a while and find an opportunity to present it to Your Majesty."

Now, they have a lot of things to do, and there is no gap at all, racing against time!

Cai Bian nodded, glanced at Su Song, and said, "Starting tomorrow, a meeting will be held in the Political Affairs Hall to deal with various matters and set the tone. The Political Affairs Hall should prepare to issue official documents and resist, and also ask the officials to issue an edict."

‘Reform’ is not achieved by just one edict. There are too many trivial and complicated things that need to be sorted out, refined and implemented step by step.
Chapter completed!
