Zhang Dun and others were busy handling government affairs, and the "new policy" was about to be promulgated, especially Kaifeng Prefecture. As the first experimental area, the court attached great importance to it and kept a close eye on it.

In fact, now, whether it is the Qingwa House, the Political Affairs Hall, the Six Ministry and Three Temples, they basically understand that the official in the palace has no intention of fully reinstating the new law, and he has adopted a cautious attitude.

It can be imagined from the experiment of Kaifeng Prefecture.

This eased the worries and attacks of the "old party" to a certain extent. There was also this reason why Su Song was able to let go of the "military reform strategy" jointly written by the Ministry of War and the Privy Council.

But no matter what, Su Song letting go of this "strategy" means a change in attitude. He will not continue to stop the army's restructuring, and may not support the actions of the Green Wafang, but will not openly oppose it.

Qingwafang is responsible for almost all the "new laws and policies". In addition to Zhang Dun and Cai Bian, the power and number of Qingwafang is rapidly expanding. Not only has the increase in the "sending personnel" of the six ministries, but also has dispatched "sourcing affairs" to the six ministries to supervise and supervise the implementation of the six ministries.

In addition, members of the Political Affairs Hall directly "contact" six ministries, such as Su Song contacts the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Dun contacts the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, Cai Bian contacts the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Justice, and Kaifeng Prefecture.

The centralized actions of the Song Dynasty court are further promoted.

The court's actions did not stop, and Zhao Xu was like a continuous cycle. He needed too many things to understand and promote.

In addition to the court's major political plans, Zhao Xu also had his "small plan".

Even though he was busy, Zhao Xu still took the time to go to the birthday palace to accompany Concubine Zhu to have a meal, and observe Zhao Ji by the way.

This little bastard is already ten years old and knows what it means to be demoted to a commoner. Seeing Zhao Xu, he no longer had the naughtyness he used to be. He sat on the dining table with a small mouthful, eating very well.

Concubine Zhu felt very distressed, but she didn't dare to mention anything to Zhao Xu, so she could only take care of her wholeheartedly.

Zhao Xu looked unmoved. Although this treatment was too harsh and cruel, he hoped that it would work for this little bastard and not go astray.

He was not actually worried that Zhao Ji would be as a bastard as in history, and that king of the country was the devastated. What he really worried about was that this little bastard would have caused a disaster in the future that he would not even protect.

This kind of sign has occurred when you humiliate a merchant in the street with tens of thousands of dollars.

Zhao Xu ignored Zhao Ji and saw that Zhao Si was silent. He knew that this incident had a great blow to him, and he felt thoughtful.

After dinner, Concubine Zhu was the first to send Zhao Ji away. As soon as she came back, she heard what made her heart startle.

Zhao Xu: "Thirteenth brother, go out for a walk with me."

Concubine Zhu's expression moved, and she wanted to speak for a while, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Zhao You'e blinked at Zhao Xu, pursed her lips, and carefully hid her fear.

Zhao Si was a little scared and slowly got up and followed Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu sighed secretly, left the birthday palace, walked a few steps before saying, "Do you think I am too cruel?"

Zhao Si quietly looked at Zhao Xu's side face and whispered: "No."

Zhao Xu said with a oh, turned to look at him, and smiled and said, "Then why are you... so scared?"

Zhao Si tightened his face and hesitated for a long time, saying, "Brother Eleven is indeed wrong."

Seeing that he refused to tell the truth, Zhao Xu did not make things difficult for him, and said, "Eleventh, we are brothers of a mother. Remember my words. As long as you don't make any big mistakes, I will be in one day, and you will be free of worries for a day."

Zhao Si raised his face, maybe he didn't quite understand the meaning of these words, and nodded blankly.

Zhao Xu smiled, rubbed his head, and said, "Go back and tell my mother not to worry."

His words were not only for Zhao Si, but also for Concubine Zhu, and perhaps there were more people.

Zhao Si understood this time and said meticulously: "Zhao Si gave up."

Zhao Xu watched him leave and slowly walked back to Funing Palace.

Tangerine followed, not daring to speak.

The official demoted the Prince of Suining to a commoner. Although the three mistresses in the palace said nothing, there were a lot of private discussions about the palace maids. The rumors about the "meaning of the official family" and "relentless" outside the palace were one after another, and undercurrents were surging.

Two more days later, Zhao Xu discussed the reform of the northern army with General Xu and Zhang Qing in the Chuigong Hall.

As the Minister of War, General Xu raised his hand and said, "The official family, the Privy Council and the Ministry of War plan to set up various northern routes into two war zones. For Xia and Liao, three strategies and three general managers are each, with a total number of troops of 120,000. Three recruit training camps are also set up to train the wing army, the Fan army, etc., and they are transformed into reserves, work in peacetime, recruit in wartime, and can fight the army, with a total number of up to 300,000..."

Zhao Xu listened quietly without interrupting.

Xu Jiang continued: "Now there are some mixed ways in the north, and it will take at least half a year to sort it out. The Ministry of War is already selecting the Xinde Army base, clearing out various complex relationships, trying its best to get out of the local area, and focusing on war..."

The army of the Song Dynasty was extremely complex. Not only were the systems intertwined, but it was also mixed with local power, unclear connections, and checks and balances. This is also one of the reasons for **** and low combat power.

Zhao Xu understood the subtitle of General Xu's words and said, "The army cannot do without local support. There are roads in the north, and there are not many people doing things, but many people shirking responsibility for each other. I have been discussing with the Political Affairs Hall and are preparing to send several ministers, Prime Ministers, or several routes of government affairs, sort out the power and duties in order to strengthen support for the army and border..."

Nowadays, the fight is the population and the logistical support. If the population of all walks of life is low and there is no support, then the defeat is almost just around the corner.

Zhang Feng listened, and his expression remained unmoved, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the military and government need to strictly distinguish between the power and duties, clarify the relationship between responsibilities and obligations, and emphasize the relationship of mutual support. Once any mistake occurs, it should be serious and severely held accountable. You must never drag it down, or you must not be sluggish, or each of them will be 50 major blocks."

Zhao Xu suddenly sat upright, his expression slightly solemn, and his eyes widened and looked at Zhang Feng seriously.

This old man is very familiar with the frontier and has unique insights into many things. He is as insightful as a reflection of the fire. Especially this reminder shocked Zhao Xu.

He remembered that the reason why the Qing Dynasty was able to enter the pass in history was because of internal strife. Liaodong’s commanders, strategy and governors, and generals were always intrigue and fought over and over again. The Ming court adopted a mixed attitude. In the end, the battle was defeated again and again, and in the end there was only one Shanhaiguan left!

The Qing Dynasty entered the pass, just like this Shanhaiguan!

This must not happen to his Song Dynasty!

Zhao Xu looked at Zhang Xi decisively, Xu Generals and the other generals said in a deep voice: "The specific power, responsibility, and obligation relationships are discussed together by the Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall. It must be strict and clear. Whoever dares to cause selfish thoughts on such military and national affairs and mislead my affairs will never forgive me!"

Zhang Feng listened, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and said, "I will receive the order!"

Zhao Xu was still worried and said, "For specific strategies, the candidates for the general manager should be decided as soon as possible. The candidates for the Prime Minister should be fast, and the reform of the army should be fast and more stable. I know that there are many nobles, children of officials, and too many hereditary ones in the army. The Privy Council and the Ministry of War should jointly issue new military laws, and the recruit training camp should be used. Any unqualified and problematic will be cleared out and must not be forgiven at all! If you have any trouble, even if you are pushed to me, when it comes to military reform, no one dares to block the way, perfunctory, or delay the matter! "
