Chapter 302: Demons and Demons(1/2)

Zhao Xu glanced down and raised his eyebrows immediately.

Chen Pi's face suddenly changed when she looked at her, let alone Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu looked at him with a calm expression. He looked at Su Song and others with a smile, and said, "We must pay attention to the cultivation of talents. I am very pleased that the Qing family can have such a tacit understanding."

Chenpi's actions were all in the eyes of the people in the hall. They did not mention this. Su Song held the crutch in one hand and said with a smile: "Since the official family has no objection, then I will just divide it."

The word "dividing" is actually not very good, but it is particularly good to use it here.

Zhao Xu smiled more and said, "That's not possible. If I see what I like during the palace examination, my family should not blame me for robbing my love with you."

Everyone laughed at the word "snatch love with a knife" as they heard the word "snatch love with a knife".

The atmosphere of the Chuigong Hall is unprecedentedly good, less solemn.

Li Qingchen raised his hand at the right time and said, "The officials, and I think so. There are a total of 153 people in the three grades of the year. The top 50 of the three grades of the year entered the palace for the palace examination. Please ask the officials to hold the training."

Zhao Xu thought about what happened next. Tomorrow, he met with many powerful heroes in Kaifeng Prefecture who promoted the "Fangtianjun Tax Law". The day after tomorrow he had to discuss the "military reform" between the north and the Ministry of War. The day after tomorrow he had to go outside the city to inspect the recruitment of new recruits. Then the envoys from Xixia might be coming, and they had to hold a meeting to summarize the many matters of recent reforms...

For a period of time, Zhao Xu would be very busy, and the court officials may not be able to be in Beijing. After careful consideration, Zhao Xu said: "The palace examination is tentatively scheduled to be on the fifth day of the third month. It is a major event for the country to acquire scholars. All the families of you should try to make time."

Everyone raised their hands to respond, Kaifeng Mansion was busy, and they were even busier.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Dun said, "Your Majesty, take advantage of this time, I want to go down and take a look again."

Zhao Xu was stunned and immediately understood.

Zhang Dun took the opportunity not only during the gap after the examination, but also because the magistrates of Kaifeng Prefecture left their garrisons and could no longer cover up. Zhang Dun wanted to see it clearly.

Zhao Xu nodded gently, remembered the last time he saw and said with a smile: "If you want to see it, then look more. The so-called "what you know is shallow" and you must practice it yourself. You all know that this is a matter of time. You, take some time and go for a walk."

Everyone was suddenly stunned and looked at Zhao Xu in surprise, with a strange expression.

Zhao Xu was stunned by their eyes. Is there any problem with his words?

Su Song quickly restrained his expression and secretly chewed in the two sentences of "I feel it is shallow on paper, but I must practice it if I know it." He was surprised.

Most of them were like this, but they were all old men in the officialdom. They were very skilled on the surface and they immediately returned to peace.

The reason they were shocked was that they all knew that the young official in front of them was not valued in his early years. After ascending the throne, he read some articles of sages because of Empress Dowager Gao's suppression. Not to mention the meaning of the scriptures, he was not good at poetry and songs.

The two casual sentences are concise and meaningful, and cannot be done without a certain foundation.

Su Song bowed and said, "What the official said is, I understand it."

Zhang Dun didn't say anything, remembering the previous conversation with Zhao Xu about "De", and his eyes flashed slightly.

He looked at Zhao Xu, a current Song Dynasty official with outstanding literary talent and profound virtues!

Zhao Xu touched his face and looked at Chenpi again.

Tangerine shook her head slightly, indicating that there was nothing on her face.

Zhao Xu didn't understand why these people were suddenly surprised and didn't care. He said, "Let's put this aside for the time being. Recently, due to the implementation of the 'new law', stories from the Xining period are being staged again. Framed, slander, attack, slander, and other means are emerging one after another. You all have suffered a lot. Let's talk about it and what can I do to solve it."

Except for Su Song, Han Zongdao is a "new party". Of course, in the eyes of many people, Su Song and Han Zongdao are the "new party" who rebel against the "old party" and are an unforgivable treacherous slander, and are many impeachments.

Su Song shook the crook with his left hand and said, "Officials are more careful than guarding against the people. This matter cannot be done with force. Once time passes, the people in the world will understand."

"Xining has been around for nearly twenty years, can anyone understand Wang Jiagong?" Zhang Dun continued indifferently, even though his tone was calm, he still showed a strong sense of badness.

Zhang Dun was a man who firmly believed in reform and regarded Wang Anshi as a predecessor and was deeply resentful of the "old party" who drove Wang Anshi out of power.

Su Song's expression was as usual and said, "When Sima Jun was in power, he said that Wang Xianggong was deeply in power and was too much destruction."

Sima Guang did say such things. Even though he had been hostile to Wang Anshi for more than ten years, he was busy abolishing the "new law" after he took a break from his busy schedule. He even defended Wang Anshi for a few words.

Zhang Dun looked at Su Song and said, "Su Xianggong remembers it clearly. I don't know who else outside the palace remembers it? The rumors all over the sky are a little innocent. It's too much, and it's really good to use it."

Zhang Dun's tone was still very calm, and his expression was as serious as ever.

A storm was about to come and the wind filled the building was brewing rapidly in the Chuigong Hall.

Cai Bian is most worried that the two of them will quarrel, which will then evolve into a fight between the two parties of the "new and old", which will spread from the Political Affairs Hall to the Six Ministry, and then the entire government and the outside world!

That situation is unimaginable!

Cai Bian couldn't persuade the two of them, so he could only look at Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu actually liked it very much and wanted to watch them quarrel, which he found very interesting.

Although I thought to myself, I couldn't do it in terms of the overall situation. Zhao Xu coughed lightly and said, "I'm going to say it's too far."

Su Song, Zhang Dun's just rising sharpness was quickly suppressed. Su Song pondered for a moment and said, "Officials, the words are from the heart, and people's hearts are the most unpredictable. These cannot be stopped."

Zhao Xu nodded with consent and said, "You can't stop it, so you must minimize it as much as possible."

Zhang Dun said directly: "The official family maliciously slandered the rumors with rumor, which is nothing more than the sinister and incompetent villains. There is no need for such things in the court."

Zhao Xu nodded with great agreement and said, "Since they cannot completely stop their mouths, they cannot obtain more power to cause greater damage."

Cai Bian responded and said, "The official, the Ministry of Personnel's examination and examination method is not enough to deal with these things, and the Censorate needs to supervise it."

Zhao Xu nodded deeply once again and said, "The structure of the court is balanced, there is basically no problem. The key lies in the thoughts of the person who is in charge."

Su Song and Han Zongdao stopped talking. Zhang Dun brought the topic to "official administration". When they spoke, they would probably give Zhang Dun a statement.

Zhang Dun glanced at Li Qingchen and said, "Etiquette and law are also very important."

Zhao Xu deeply agreed, but he didn't want to nod. His neck hurt. He looked at the notes handed over by Chenpi again.

‘If Yuanyou is not blessed, it is difficult to use when you are a servant; the holy path is rugged, and sometimes the world... This means that God does not bless me, and it will eventually fail. Their road is not smooth. Will they wait for an opportunity?’

Then, Zhao Xu saw the progress report on the reform sent by Kaifeng Prefecture, and suddenly felt moved.

"De" is nothing more than buying people's hearts. I have power, power and money. Isn't it easy to buy people's hearts?

Many thoughts suddenly emerged in Zhao Xu's mind, and a smile appeared on his face.

When a group of big men in the hall saw that Zhao Xu didn't speak, they laughed strangely alone, and couldn't help but look at each other.

Zhao Xu quickly restrained his expression, looked up at everyone, and said, "We must have a set of holistic means to deal with rumors, prevent the problem from escalating, and kill it when it is about to arise; we must also have thunderous means to shock the young people."

Zhang Dun continued decisively and said, "Yes. I will convene the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Justice, and the Censorate to make a complete plan and present it to Your Majesty for the Emperor's Royal Views."

Zhao Xu nodded and suddenly said, "By the way, I will meet the officials of Kaifeng Prefecture tomorrow, and add more people, the people! I will also meet the people who support the outstanding performance of the "new law" of the court. You can choose ten or twenty."

Zhang Dun suddenly felt a sudden movement in his heart, and understood what Zhao Xu meant, and immediately said, "I am not considering it well, so let Kaifeng Prefecture do it."

Han Zongdao finally had a chance to speak and hurriedly said, "Officials, this matter must be done properly to Kaifeng Prefecture."

Zhao Xu looked at him, the deputy governor and the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, pondered for a moment, and said, "Don't make fraud, it must be true. If time is not enough, I can wait."

Su Song was silent. He knew that the government had always been wary of them. It was the first time that he had said it so bluntly.

‘It seems that I really should leave.’ Su Song sighed softly in his heart.

Han Zongdao stood up, raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "I will receive the order."

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, changed the topic and said, "I have heard about the Dali Temple in various counties in Kaifeng Prefecture. Some newspapers said that a Dali Temple was hit and an official was beaten to death?"

Three days ago, the first case of the county-level Dali Temple in Zhongmu County began to be tried, which was a "land dispute". This case has been complicated for years and the county-level Dali Temple has difficulty in trialing. As soon as the verdict was announced, it was hit by dozens of people. Although Zhongmu County was prepared, it still could not be controlled. Many people were injured, and one of them was even trampled to death.

Zhang Dun's expression suddenly turned serious and stood up, saying, "Your Majesty, the thugs are arrogant and arrogant. They attack the yamen and kill the imperial officials. They are really bold and reckless. They should not be tolerated! I believe that severe punishment is required, and I have been ordered to deal with it severely, as a benchmark to deter the thugs!"

The word "thug" characterizes this matter.

Su Song opened his mouth, but finally didn't say it.

Zhao Xu noticed Su Song's expression and looked solemn, saying, "Do you need the Imperial City Department to intervene?"

Han Zongdao and Su Song's expression changed immediately.

The Imperial City Department intervenes, which is equivalent to treason. It is impossible to make a small matter happen.

Fortunately, Zhang Dun didn't think so, saying, "Your Majesty, Zhongmu County has the ability to deal with it, and other counties should also be able to deal with similar incidents."

Zhao Xu couldn't understand that Zhang Dun was intentional in tempering the counties and was quietly delegating power to them.

"Okay." Zhao Xu said.

Su Song and Han Zongdao felt relieved. They did not want the situation to expand, so it would be better to resolve the situation on the spot and not to make trouble in the court. If the trouble in the court, it would mean that everyone in the world knew it and caused a stir in the court again.

When Zhao Xu was talking to these important officials, the Imperial City Office received a message from Chen Pi and quickly investigated. Soon after, three people were arrested and imprisoned in the Imperial City Office prison.

The three people were tied to the punishment rack. The imperial officer of the Imperial City Department whipped it down with whip and shouted angrily: "Say or not! Say or not!"

The three tied people were full of pain and complaining.

"It's really not what I've told you. I'm just a teahouse. I really don't know the guests when I come and go..."

"Yes, I just listened to it from the side and passed it on. I really don't know the others..."

"So too. I heard it on the road. I just said a few words to my friend, it was unfair..."

The three of them denied it, and nothing was useful at all.

Cai You had a gloomy face, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Since his father Cai Jing was betrayed by him, he has become more and more cautious and has considered Zhao Xu in everything and dared not make any mistakes.

Now, such a rude rumor has been spread on the street, but it is passed to him in the palace. How could he not be shocked!

The deputy commander in front of him seemed to be able to understand Cai You's shock and anger at this moment. He held a blood whip in his hand and said coldly: "Those who run the teahouse are doing regular customers' business, will you not have any impression of it? And you, if you listen to it by the side, you dare to spread it randomly. This is a death sentence! Haha, you really know how to listen to what you hear on the road! Beat me and beat me to death!"
To be continued...
