On the east side of the Chuigong Hall is the green tiled house where Zhang Dun and Cai Bian are in charge, and on the west side, the confidential house is located in the corner further west of the confidential house.

The crowd came to the door and waited for the tangerine peel to come in and report.

Not long after, Chenpi came out and said, "My dear masters, please invite me."

The crowd couldn't wait immediately, but did not dare to cross Zhang Dun. He walked into the custard room with anxiety.

As soon as I entered, I saw all kinds of broken wood, debris, long sticks and short wood, as well as strange wooden cattle and horses of different sizes.

Zhao Xu's hair was a little messy, his face was covered in dust, his clothes were covered in coarse cloth clothes, holding a wheel-like thing in both hands, looking at it, and saying to himself: "The wisdom of the ancients is really amazing..."

He was in his hand a model of the carriage wheel. Although there were no later parts such as gears and chains, the fine and complex structure still created the wheels and made the carriage complete.

"But it is not enough for water wheels and windmills. There must be a rotor, chain and rubber linkage..."

Zhao Xu talked to himself.

If you want to use a water truck to irrigate, it is not practical enough, so it can only be used in water conservancy scheduling.

The crowd looked dazed. This was the first time they saw Zhao Xu so indecent and sitting in the garbage dump.

But they all knew very well that Zhao Xu could not have known what it means to meet them in this situation when Zhang Dun had just killed the Liao envoy.

Before the crowd could figure it out, Wang Cun couldn't help it, and strode out and said in a deep voice: "Qizhuan the official family, Zhang Zihou had just killed the Liao envoy in the Political Affairs Hall!"

The others glanced at Wang Cun. The Minister of Works promoted by Su Song did not speak, and his eyes were on Zhao Xu.

Killing the Liao envoy is very likely to cause the Liao Kingdom to be furious. Once the Liao Kingdom sends troops, it will definitely be a major event that threatens the country's destiny!

Chen Pi stood not far from Zhang Dun, quietly staring at Zhang Dun to examine.

This Mr. Zhang, who had not yet served as the prime minister, was really bold and reckless. He didn't even ask for instructions on such matters, so he made a decision without authorization.

Zhao Xu's attention was on the model in his hand, and he listened to a 'huh' and said, "Mr. Zhang, what are your explanations?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Zhang Dun.

Cai Bian frowned, with clearly visible dissatisfaction written on his face.

Li Qingchen, Lin Xi, Xu Jiang and others showed worries.

Zhang Dun raised his hand and said in a calm tone: "Your Majesty, judging from the information obtained from the Imperial City Department and other places, the Liao Kingdom is in civil strife and is powerless to extricate itself. They are unable to launch an invasion of our Song Dynasty..."

"Is the news about the Imperial City Department so reliable? Why didn't it before? Well, even if the Liao Kingdom does not have the ability for the time being, will you be able to keep them in the future?"

Wang Cun interrupted without hesitation, and roared at Zhang Dun in anger, "The Xia people are eyeing each other, and the court is accumulating all their strength to fight the Xia people. Don't be distracted! Besides, even if the Liao Kingdom cannot send troops, even if they move a little, the north will be restrained halfway. As the magistrate, is there no such situation? Also, killing the Liao envoys without any monarch!"

After Wang Cun finished squirting, he turned to Zhao Xu and said in a deep voice: "The official family, Zhang Zihou is arbitrary and has caused such a bad result. Please punish me severely. Otherwise, the court officials will follow suit in the future, what is the face of the official family and the rules and regulations of the court!"

Cai Bian and others listened to Wang Cun's words, but no one spoke out to defend Zhang Dun.

Even Cai Bian, who has always been generous, rarely gets angry with Zhang Dun, which shows that this incident is quite slight.

Zhao Xu seemed to have not heard Wang Cun's words, and raised his eyes from his hand, staring at Zhang Dun and looking at him with a strange look.

Before killing the Liao envoy, Zhang Dun paused for a lot of time. In fact, this time was equivalent to reporting. He killed Yelu Hongzheng without stopping Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu didn't care about this. Although Zhang Dun had a straight temper and impatient person, he knew how to behave and would not really kill the Liao envoy without any scruples.

What really surprised Zhao Xu was how Zhang Dun saw the reality of the Liao Kingdom?

Zhao Xu also carefully looked at the information about the Imperial City Department. On the surface, the Liao Kingdom is still powerful and far from comparable to the Song Dynasty.

But Zhang Dun realized that he still dared to kill the Liao envoy to test!

‘The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated.’

Zhao Xu sighed again in his heart, naturally he would not think that Zhang Dun was acting blindly.

In fact, the Liao Kingdom has gradually become stronger and more powerful outside and fight the middle, especially now that civil unrest is happening. Just last month, the Liao Kingdom used 300,000 troops to quell the rebellion, but it really has no extra force to launch a war with the Song Dynasty.

Throughout history, during this period, the Liao Kingdom was indeed unable to launch a war on the outside world and was trapped in civil strife and could not extricate itself until the Jurchens destroyed the country.

A group of people were waiting for Zhao Xu to speak. Seeing Zhao Xu looking at Zhang Dun, they seemed to wait for Zhang Dun to explain more.

But after Zhang Dun said these few words, he stopped talking.

Seeing that Zhang Dun did not defend himself, Wang Cun became more angry and raised his hand to Zhao Xu, "Officials, please deal with Zhang Zihou severely, otherwise you will not be able to explain to the subjects in the world! At the same time, he sent an envoy to Liao to explain the matter and asked the Privy Council to urgently dispatch troops to prevent accidents."

Cai Bian glanced at Wang Cun and did not add anything.

Despite their different political positions, Wang Cun's words are correct.

Li Qingchen and others remained silent.

Naturally, they did not want to deal with Zhang Dun, but they could not find any reason for it for a while. Killing the Liao envoy and triggering national wars, not everyone can bear such a responsibility.

Now, I am afraid that the outside of the palace is already turbulent, and I don’t know how many people are writing impeachment memorials.

Empress Dowager Gao passed away and Su Song left before it could be digested, and the anger of countless people might be ignited instantly!

Zhao Xu glanced at Wang Cun, continued to play with the model in his hand, and suddenly smiled and said, "You guys misunderstood. Mr. Zhang had already reported it before killing the Liao envoy, and I agreed."

Everyone was shocked and countless thoughts turned to their minds.

Does the officials really know, or do they tell the lies that Zhang Dun said in order to stabilize the court and to protect Zhang Dun’s “compromising and seeking integrity”?

Wang Cun was shocked, and then couldn't help saying, "I dare to ask the official to show you."

Zhao Xu had already picked up the carving knife beside him and began to carve it on the model. Yu Lu said impatiently: "What Zhang Qing family said is very clear. You will go to the Zhengshi Hall to discuss it later. The things have not stopped every day, and I have not had a moment of leisure. Okay, go all out, Chenpi, and send you all back to the Zhengshi Hall."

Wang Cun thought about many possibilities in his mind, and guessed that Zhao Xu would protect Zhang Dun, but this protection method still made him unacceptable. He raised his hand and wanted to speak, but Chen Pi suddenly took a step forward, and when he was in front of him, he couldn't lift his hand and kept his words back.

Chenpi almost faced with Wang Cun, and said with a smile on his face: "Shangshu Wang, please."

Wang Cun frowned and wanted to bypass him. Zhang Dun had raised his hand and said, "I will leave."

After Zhang Dun finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Cai Bian and others also felt like they were hitting the cotton with one punch, with chest tightness and obstruction.

But Zhao Xu had already driven away the people. They hesitated for a while and could only raise their hands and say, "I will leave."

Once Zhang Dun, Cai Bian, Li Qingchen and others left, Wang Cun was left.

Wang Cun was not willing to do it. He took a step back and said angrily: "The official family, Zhang Zihou is bold and magnanimous. There is nothing he dares to do. I can understand the official family's wry smile, but I must not tolerate the evildoer and let Zhang Dun become a big shot!"

Zhao Xu seemed to have not heard it and continued to carve his model.

This is a major event involving farming. Zhao Xu cannot delay it and does it very attentively.

Seeing that Zhao Xu ignored him, Wang Cun glanced at Chenpi who was following him again, and had to say, "I have finished speaking, I will leave."

Chenpi saw Wang Cun leaving and then breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past, there were many ministers who could catch the emperor's face and spray it for a long time, but the emperor still had no choice but to deal with them.

If Wang Cun did this, the official would be in a dilemma.

This is for the court's advice, and it is necessary and natural. You can't be killed like Wang Shi'an, right?

Zhao Xu did not have the emotion of Chenpi. Now, he has some ways to deal with these court officials, and there is no need to kill people to establish his authority.

'interesting.'

Zhao Xu carved the model, but he was analyzing this matter in his heart.

Zhang Dun was able to judge the reality of the Liao Kingdom, which really surprised him. Zhang Dun reported to him that Zhang Dun urged him to start a war with the Xia people as soon as possible, and that he must have seen through the Western Xia. Then he had to take action against Qingtang Tubo and take back the six northwest prefectures.

Good strategy!

Great talent!

Zhao Xu was carved with wood in his hand, but he was quite happy.

Zhang Dun's strategic gaze is stronger than him!

Having such a subordinate really makes him feel relieved.

"Danime peel," Zhao Xu suddenly said.

At this time, Chen Pi had just turned back and listened quickly and said, "The little man is here."

Zhao Xu looked up at the direction of the Political Affairs Hall and said expressionlessly: "I draft an order and appoint Zhang Dun as prime minister, and at the same time, he was given the title of "Prime Minister of Government Affairs Hall" to fully preside over the new law."

"Yes." Chenpi responded.

Zhao Xu waved his hand and continued to lower his head to carve.
