Grandma Su looked at Su Li's back and suddenly looked moved.

The Su family is not a small family. Su Song has been in office for nearly fifty years and has rewarded countless times and is not short of money. However, the spring clothes are only 300 taels. Now it seems that it is really exaggerated.

Thinking about the Li family, Madam Su sighed lightly and said to herself: "I hope the old guy can escape unstoppably..."

Since the officials took office, there have been countless fallen husbands. Su Song was the only husband during the reign of the Empress Dowager. Mrs. Su was actually worried day and night, worried that the Su family would suddenly have a disaster.

If it is like Lu Dafang, it will be a disaster!

Su Song sat in the carriage, and the carriage turned around the road to Yu Street and rushed to the Gongyuan.

Su Song in the carriage had a deep face as water, and his mind was constantly changing.

He was not sure whether the incident of his in-laws and Li family was related to Zhang Dun, but he had to stop it whether it was or not.

A small Kaifeng Prefecture can involve him as the prime minister. If it is implemented nationwide, how many people can run away?

Not to mention those people, they are the "New Party", are Zhang Dun, Cai Bian and others clean? How many people are clean in the world?!

In addition, is the palace clean? Is the official family clean?

Perhaps the government family was young and had just taken power and had not had time to do anything, but did the affairs of emperors of the Song Dynasty fall on the government family?

What should the court do if the dirty things of the royal family, the imperial farms, the Yongye fields, the purchasing and all the dirty things in them are found?

How many people in the government and the country know this?

Are they waiting? Are they waiting and watching?

Su Song hugged the squid, his heart churned, and he was filled with thousands of moments.

He had to stop Zhang Dun and had no selfishness. At his age, he no longer sought anything else. He just hoped that the world would be peaceful, the government and the people would live and work in peace and contentment.

"Master." Suddenly, the butler driving in front stopped the carriage and opened the curtain and whispered.

Su Song glanced at him, lifted the curtains, and saw that Zhao Xu, Li Qingchen, and Shen Kuo had already left the court and were following the Imperial Street from south to north, as if they were going back to the palace.

The three of them didn't know what they were talking about, they were talking and laughing, as if there was no gap between the king and his subjects, and they were very close.

Su Song looked at this scene for some reason, but his originally heavy heart suddenly relaxed, as if a huge rock fell to the ground, with a smile on his face.

The housekeeper was stunned. He saw the Lord’s face just now, but why is he smiling again now?

Su Song thought for a while, got off the carriage with a cane and said, "Go back."

The housekeeper was very worried that Su Song's position was actually more dangerous than Zhang Dun. Even if Zhang Dun had impeached him, he wanted to eat him, but Zhang Dun was protected by the official family, and no one could do anything to him.

The lord of his family is different. Su Song is not protected, and the "New Party" has never stopped attacking Su Song. I wonder how many people want to send the leader of the "old party" to prison and give Zhang Dun a place.

"Master... be careful." The butler hesitated for a while and said carefully.

Su Song waved his hand, leaned on a crutch, and walked towards Zhao Xu.

At this time, Zhao Xu was looking back at Li Qingchen and said with a smile: "The Li Qing family was very literary back then, not much inferior to Mr. Dongpo. Now they are plagued by civil affairs, so they are not as productive as Mr. Dongpo."

Su Shi's achievements were almost all-round, with outstanding poetry, songs, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. If Ouyang Xiu had not mistakenly recognized Su Shi as his disciple Zeng Gong, Su Shi would have been the top scholar in Jiayou for the second year.

At the beginning, Ouyang Xiu selected materials for the court without any restrictions. He once judged that only Li Qingchen could compare with Su Shi in literary achievements.

But Li Qingchen was not keen on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and poetry. Later generations knew not many of him, far inferior to Su Shi.

Li Qingchen smiled slightly and said, "I am not as good as Dongpo."

Zhao Xu looked at him, smiled and nodded, saying, "I admire you for being able to say such words calmly."

Shen Kuo was older than Li Qingchen and Su Shi. He was perhaps a little less talented, but he was also a talented person. He couldn't help but touch his beard and said, "Officials, I believe that poetry, songs and essays are all minor paths after all. Su Dongpo is stubborn and does not hit the wall or look back. I am afraid he can only express his feelings to the mountains and rivers."

Su Shi is a master of literary world today. In the Song Dynasty, where literary and political prosperity, countless people were watching each other. However, he did not tolerate the "new and old" parties, and no one in power would let him go.

In history, Su Shi was sent far away to Zhanzhou, which is the most remote place in Hainan Island in later generations. It was the most severe punishment for the court to punish the court officials.

Obviously, Shen Kuo didn't like Su Shi very much either.

Zhao Xu admired Su Shi very much, but in terms of literature, when it comes to the court, Su Shi was still a "old party" and was a stubborn obstacle to his reform.

Just as Zhao Xu was about to say something else, he saw Su Song coming over with a crutch. He was stunned and stopped.

Why did this old man come to block him on the street?

"I have met the official family." Su Song came closer and bowed to him.

Li Qingchen, Shen Kuo and others immediately leaned over to show their respect for the prime minister.

Zhao Xu waved his hand and looked at Su Song and said with a smile: "There is no need to be too polite outside. Is there something wrong with the Su Qing family coming here to find me?"

Su Song pondered for a moment and looked at Li Qingchen and Shen Kuo.

Zhao Xu was a little understanding, paused, turned around and said to Li Qingchen, Shen Kuo: "Everything that should be said is almost the same. Let's go first, you are the chief examiners of all ages, so prepare well."

Li Qingchen was a little wary of Su Song, but Shen Kuo was fine. The two of them listened to Zhao Xu's words and raised their hands and said, "Yes, I will take my leave."

After the two left, Zhao Xu stepped forward, glanced at Su Song, and said, "Su Qing family, what are you going to say?"

Su Song leaned on crutches and saw Zhao Xu deliberately slowing down, he smiled and said, "It's still the pilot of Kaifeng Prefecture."

Zhao Xu immediately thought of Su Song's in-law Li family, and couldn't help but smile and said, "The Li family, Kaifeng Prefecture and Xianggong Cai both greeted me, not deliberately targeting the Qing family, but discovered it when measuring the land. The Li family bullied people, beat people's lives, and occupied people's land for a day or two... In the past, yamen at all levels ignored it, and Su Qing family was asking me for mercy?"

Su Song followed Zhao Xu, walked slowly, his smile slowly calmed down, and said, "Cai Bian told me about these things. I am not here to plead for mercy. I am worried that if this continues, not only me, but I am afraid that Zhang Dun and others will also be implicated."

Zhao Xu huddled, looking a little moved.

The "Kaifeng Prefecture Pilot Project" seems to be only in Kaifeng Prefecture, but the scope of the impact is really considerable.

Just like Su Song, even if Zhang Dun is upright and does not do anything, what about his family, disciples, former officials, teachers, friends and relatives?

The most essential thing in the officialdom is the network of relationships. The Song Dynasty class has basically been solidified. Who dares to say that Zhang Dun is surrounded by his innocent people?

If Zhang Dun or some people in the "New Party" deliberately manipulate this matter, can Su Song and the Su family escape?

As the public opinion is together, the court will inevitably respond. As the leader of the "old party", can Su Song hold on?

When the position is changed to Zhang Dun, Zhang Dun is the target of public criticism. If he gets a real handle and goes to court, can Zhao Xu forcefully protect him regardless of the laws and regulations, regardless of the rebound of the court and the opposition?

Disaster!

This word appeared in Zhao Xu's heart, and then looked at Su Song, and smiled and said, "What can I teach me about the Su Qing family?"

Su Song leaned over and said, "I dare not, I just want to say something to the official."

Tangerine followed the other side and quietly looked at Su Song.

What does this old man want to say?

Now the government and the opposition are very dissatisfied with the old man. The "new party" is dissatisfied with the "old party" and even more dissatisfied with the "old party". I don't know how many people want to send him away.

After Su Song said this, he thought a little and said: "The officials and saints have many discussions about governing the country, and there have been many experiences and lessons throughout the ages. I have learned some of them after decades of official career."

Zhao Xu showed interest and said, "Let me tell you."

Su Song followed Zhao Xu slowly and said, "Officials, people are based on virtue and guide their actions. If virtue is not present, people will not accept it. Therefore, people must have virtue so that things can be accomplished and they will not be established without virtue. The court should do the first priority to virtue. If the gain is not preserved, the people will not be attached to them, and the country will be in danger."

Zhao Xu listened quietly, with thoughts on his face and said nothing.

Seeing this, Su Song continued, "In terms of the 'Kaifeng Prefecture Pilot', why did the court encounter such a big rebound? Virtue is not preserved! Even if it possesses reason, reason cannot convince people, only virtue can."

Speaking of this, Su Song did not make a statement or hide it. He continued: "The court was doing the right thing, but he lost his virtue first. The word "virtue" was missing, so it did not work."

Zhao Xu looked at Su Song with a calm expression and said, "Your family or not, do you want me to abolish the new law?"

Su Song did not avoid it, looked directly at Zhao Xu's eyes and said, "There is no turning back now. I said this because I think that the court should take "virtue" first, rather than a force of arbitrary implementation. Otherwise, today will be the Li family, tomorrow will be the official family."

The 'Li family' and the 'official family' are naturally not the same. Su Song's words are very clear. Now the 'new law' is implementing a thorough and arrogant policy, which will sooner or later hit Zhao Xu himself.

How embarrassing it would be if the reforms were made on your own?

But reality is often so embarrassing. Zhao Xu doesn’t know much about the royal property, but the filth in it is definitely not as good as those outside officials and gentry, and there must be even more than that!

The more special power is, the more weird things you do will be!

Zhao Xu really looked thoughtful this time, and he had some clarity about Su Song's words.

"De" was indeed at a disadvantage in this regard, and Sima Guang and others did the best in this regard.

After walking a few steps, Zhao Xu suddenly looked at Su Song again and said, "Mr. Su thinks, what should I do now, and the court?"

Su Song no longer lays the groundwork and said directly: "Officials, I believe that the court needs to establish morality before acting. I suggest that the 'new law', especially the 'Fangtianjun Tax Law', should not be too forced. It is necessary to ease it as a priority and slowly plan it, otherwise the world will sooner or later rise up and attack it."

Chen Pi glanced at Su Song, and was secretly shocked. Unexpectedly, this Su Gong was still here to "oppose" today.

Chen Pi looked at Zhao Xu quietly again. Perhaps only he could understand how firm the young official was in the reform.

Zhao Xu understood Su Song's meaning and said in a very calm tone: "No."

Zhao Xu didn't say much. The plain word "can't" was like thunder in Su Song's ears, accompanied by unspeakable firmness.

Su Song seemed not surprised and pondered, saying, "The official family, today's ministers go, tomorrow's Han Zongdao go, we will go, and then we will be Zhang Dun and Cai Bian. When they go, how can the official family handle themselves?"

Su Song's words are straightforward and open-minded.

No one in the court knows that Zhao Xu deliberately left Su Song, and Han Zongdao was here to block the gun and take the blame. Sooner or later, the two of them went.

If the two bigwigs of the "old party" go, all the attacks from the government and the opposition will inevitably point to Zhang Dun and Cai Bian. How long can these two people resist?

It is not the Xining period now, but it is more terrifying than the Xining period, and it arouses the deepest contradictions.
