Zhang Dun is a person with a thrilling temper and serious smile.

What can make him talk about in a long way is either a slander or a government affairs that he values.

He didn't say anything about his proud disciple, but looked at the fields in the distance, and his serious expression flashed with obscureness.

In the past, even the Emperor of Shenzong dared to argue in person, and Sima Guang and others behind him were even cursing without any fear.

But this time he came back, he had been enduring.

Before, he always believed that it was for the sake of the "new law" and was worried about repeating the same mistakes, so he endured humiliation and kept his irritable temper.

But today he discovered that there seemed to be other reasons.

That is, the young official in the palace didn't look much angry and had always been gentle. In fact, when it was time to be fierce, he was never ruthless and had a meticulous control over the court. Even if he wanted to "explode", he could not do it.

The incident of "Xuande's Sect" made Zhang Dun understand that in addition to the emperor's mind, there may be unusual means by this official!

Every time someone unexpectedly walks ahead of them.

‘Awe?’

Zhang Dun muttered to himself.

The 'Civilian' didn't know what Zhang Dun was thinking. After waiting for a while, he saw that Zhang Dun did not speak, and said again: "Sir, Chenqiao Town is to the north."

Zhang Dun looked up to the distance and said, "Let's go a little longer, you will scatter, pretend to be a businessman, join the family, take a closer look, and keep a record."

The 'civil official' responded and continued: "Sir, with the official's lecture, the situation in the court will inevitably be greatly reversed. Perhaps the pilot project of Kaifeng Prefecture will progress faster."

Zhang Dun was not so optimistic and said, "The Xining period was quite slow, and it caused such movements. Now it is more thorough. They will not give up easily. At most one month, they will definitely make a comeback. We must be well prepared."

The 'Civilian' was also a person who had experienced exile, with a solemn expression and said, "Yes. The student understands."

Zhang Dun looked back at the direction of the capital, pondered for a moment, and said, "After returning to the capital, remember to remind me to send a gift to the Queen."

The 'civil official' was stunned and said, "The birth date of the official family was February 23 last month. He specifically instructed the court not to celebrate, and only had a meal with the concubine in the palace. The sir wanted to send a gift to the empress, in what name did it?"

Zhang Dun was silent for a while and said, "For the birthday of the Guo Tai."

The 'Civilian' was really stunned at this moment. After going back, he had to check the birth date of Empress Meng's mother.

Zhang Dun stood up, and his team continued to head towards Chenqiao Town.

The excitement in Kaifeng City is still continuing.

Almost word of mouth, it was Zhao Xu's "promise" under Xuande, which overwhelmed everything and never saw the slander and rumors in the past.

Yan Zishu ignored him. After the crowd dispersed, he went to meet some big shots again. He wanted to ask clearly about the situation, but he also knew that he couldn't ask clearly now. After waiting for this matter, the official may not be able to do anything, but he just didn't know if the big shots would hold a grudge against him.

If he had been in the imperial examination, he would have been wasted his life.

"Drunk and make a mistake!"

Yan Zishu regretted it. He is now very unpopular in his original circle, and few people are willing to see him.

Yan Zishu was obviously recorded by the court. Who knows how petty the big men in the court are? Who dares to joke about their future?

Yan Zishu was the one who jumped out, but those who had been scolding the court, making shameless and spreading rumors in the past were quickly distinguished and isolated, which was very prominent.

The public opinion environment in Kaifeng City has been transformed faster than everyone’s expectations.

Two days later, the excitement in Kaifeng City did not completely subside, and there were discussions everywhere.

With the excitement of the Song Dynasty, the envoys of the Western Xia came to Kaifeng City again.

Under the guidance of the Ministry of Rites, they went to the Honglu Temple.

The Honglu Temple has been laid off, and the original site of the Honglu Temple left behind has been changed to a "national store" for guests.

The number of people who came to Xia Zhi was not as high as twice, with only five people in total, and they were even more low-key.

They were not far away or close to the doctor of the Ministry of Rites who were greeting, and whispered in a low voice.

A great man walked behind a tall, bearded middle-aged man with a smug expression, and whispered: "Mr., from our perspective, the Song people are fighting fiercely, which is indeed a great opportunity for me, Daxia!"

The bearded name is Wei Mingyuanshan. He seemed rough and said calmly: "It is still not to be underestimated. Now the Song people occupy the fortress and have the initiative. We still need to think that it is a snake and launch a fatal blow while it is unprepared!"

The burly man responded, then glanced at the doctor of the Ministry of Rites in front of him and whispered: "I have to find a way to rescue Wei Ming Ashan. This is the name of the Queen Mother."

Wei Mingyuanshan looked unmoved and said, "Wei Ming Ashan is deeply favored by the Empress Dowager. Although he was in the prison of the Song people, he still found a way to convey a number of key information back. He made great contributions and had to save him."

The burly man nodded and then came to Honglu Temple.

Their voices of a low voice in Xiayu suddenly stopped and they looked at the Honglu Temple. They already knew that Weiming Ashan once lived here and was later taken by the Song people.

The doctor of the Ministry of Rites stood on the steps, looked down at Xia Qiong, and said lightly with a blank expression: "I won't say much nonsense. One of you is in prison and the other is beheaded. I don't want you to make it difficult for me, do you know?"

When did the Song people have such an attitude towards them? It is no different from scolding domestic animals!

Except for Wei Mingyuan, the five people looked very good-looking.

Wei Mingyuan Yan calmly raised his hand and said, "We have a sense of responsibility for the sake of harmony. Dare to welcome this envoy, can we meet the officials of your country?"

The doctor of the Ministry of Rites held his hand and said, "Why are you the ones you want to see? You can stay here first. In the evening, the Ministry of War may see you first. Think about what to say, if you dare to be arrogant and domineering, be careful of your heads!"

The last wave was shouting at Zhang Dun in the Political Affairs Hall, and Zhang Dun directly chopped off.

Listening to the doctor's unceremonious words, even Wei Mingyuan's expression was not very comfortable.

He still suppressed his anger and said, "It's a labor."

The doctor of the Ministry of Rites glanced at them lightly, turned to the Honglu Temple, and said, "Look for me. If something happens, your head will not be enough to cut."

Honglu Temple had experience, and a yamen runner immediately said in a deep voice: "Do not worry, you dare to act without mercy!"

The doctor of the Ministry of Rites nodded with satisfaction, shook his sleeves, and left straight away.

He threw the envoys of Xixia to the Honglu Temple.

A guard behind Wei Mingyuanshan couldn't help but say angrily: "Mr., the Song people are too arrogant! They don't take us seriously at all!"

The burly man had cold eyes and said, "Mr., it seems that the Song people became arrogant because of the war last year."

Wei Mingyuan nodded slightly, suppressed his anger and said, "When I come back, I will live in their palace!"

The four people behind him listened and thought of the scene, and immediately felt happy.

That means that the Daxia will defeat the Song people, and the Song people have to seek peace again and let them slaughter them!

The doctor of the Ministry of Rites returned to the Ministry of Rites and reported to Li Qingchen what had just happened.

He stood in Li Qingchen's room, raised his hand, and said, "Shangshu, the minister can understand a little. Although it is not very detailed, judging from the content of their conversation, there is no end to the point."

Li Qingchen was working on cleaning up the rest of the exam this year, writing something, quickly putting down his pen, putting it aside, and saying, "No wonder, the Xia people are arrogant in China and are not so easy to give up. Most of them are here to delay time and find out the truth."

The doctor thought that various groups in the north were reforming, especially the 'military reform', and said with some concern: "Shangshu, Xianggong Xiao Zhang is working hard to reform the military system in the north, and it may be difficult to achieve results this year. If the war starts again this year, it is probably dangerous."

Li Qingchen glanced at him and said, "The court is also concerned about these things, but don't worry, the army mainly based on Huanqing Road has not moved. Although the envoy is welcome to our Ministry of Personnel, it involves major military and national affairs, and the Ministry of Rites cannot be good at it. In this way, you should notify Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of War and let us go to the palace to meet Xianggong Cai together."

Zhang Dun went out to inspect, and only Cai Bian could make the decision in the palace.

Su Song has been "taking leave" recently and rarely appears in the Political Affairs Hall.

"Yes." The doctor responded and walked out quickly.

As soon as he left, a few more people came in and reported various things.

The Ministry of Rites is very busy now. Li Qingchen quickly cut off the mess and handled it well. He dressed neatly. He left the Ministry of Rites. After Xu General came out, the two talked and entered the palace together.

At this moment, Cai Bian was in the palace.

He was full of excitement and said to Zhao Xu: "The official family received more than 50 memorials from various prefectures, prefectures and counties in less than three days, all of which were praising the officials and expressing their support for the reform of the court. This is unprecedented, and it depends entirely on the sacred virtues of the official family! This is still temporary, and in a few days, I believe there will be more!"

Zhao Xu was looking at the memorials sent by Cai Bian. As expected, he supported his speech under Xuande that day, and praised him vigorously, and described Zhao Xu as the "No. 1 Holy King of Eternals", "unparalleled benevolence and virtue since ancient times", "the Lord of Being and Virtue in All Peoples", etc.

Although Zhao Xu knew it was flattery, he was even more happy. Seeing that they had no excuses, he expressed his full support for him and the court's reforms, so he was even happier.

Zhao Xu looked at it for a while and had a deep smile on his face. He picked up the teacup and said to Cai Bian with a smile: "It's a good thing, but you can't be blind. You should still carefully identify it to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation and making up for it."

Cai Bian raised his hand and said, "Yes, I have recorded it. The official family is now in a good situation. Should I take the opportunity to do something more? I have considered changing the Transportation Department and transforming it into the Du Tax Department. The Transportation Department has real power in the local area. On the one hand, it divides their powers, and on the other hand, it also clarifies and refines the taxation department and further sorts out the local powers and responsibilities..."

Zhao Xu said decisively: "Accurate! Start with the Kaifeng Prefecture pilot and the northern routes. Mr. Zhang Shi is expected to be back in a few days. Let's discuss it carefully."

‘Political reform’ and ‘Military reform’ are two legs, with front and back, but no one can do without it. We must work together.

Cai Bian listened and looked slightly solemn, saying, "Officials, Xia people have arrived, don't know what to do?"

Zhao Xu's eyes flashed with cold light, and he said lightly: "Let them go for a few days first, and wait until Mr. Zhang comes back, and then make a good plan."

Cai Bian thought about it, and said, "Yes."

After talking about this, Zhao Xu said again: "Take this opportunity to order all departments to finish up the various noisy and chaotic things recently. Let's go into battle lightly and don't bear so much."

"Yes." Cai Bian understood and raised his hand.

However, if you think about it carefully, it is indeed a bit troublesome and you can only deal with it in the chaos. In the future, someone will inevitably attempt to overturn the case.

Cai Bian didn't care about the future and said, "I'll do it now."

Zhao Xu nodded, and when Cai Bian left, Zhao Xu took a memorial and said casually: "Tell Qingtianwei to strengthen the infiltration of the Xia people and master all aspects of information. In addition, keep a close eye on the Liao Kingdom!"

The battle between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia has lasted for decades, but there have always been some "small fights". The most important point is that, except for the lack of strength between the two sides of each other, the Liao Kingdom played the role of "socchio kingdom".

The Liao Kingdom did not allow any side of Song Xia to be too strong. Once that happens, it will definitely attack!
