Zhao Xu's "oral order" continued, as if it was nothing, without any turmoil inside and outside the palace.

Chen Pi kept staring outside. Seeing that they didn't take Zhao Xu seriously, they said to Zhao Xu with anger with a look of anger: "The official family, these people are too much. There is no such thing as a minister. It is obvious that they don't take the official family seriously, even if it's a little!"

Zhao Xu knew very well that the conflict between him and Empress Dowager Gao, Lu Dafang and others was not about power. If Zhao Xu was also a supporter of the "ancestral system", then there would definitely be someone in the court to support him, and Empress Dowager Gao would not suppress him too much.

After all, he was the official family of the Song Dynasty, the emperor of the present and future.

Now, Zhao Xu is a supporter of the reform and wants to become the Shenzong, not the Renzong they are obsessed with.

This contradiction is unsolvable.

‘It’s all up to each other’s methods.’

Zhao Xu said to himself, his eyes still on the book, saying, "Don't worry."

Seeing that Zhao Xu and Bafeng were still moving, Chen Pi stepped forward and whispered: "Official family, is there any way?"

Zhao Xu said with a hunch and said, "Look, I don't know if there are any smart people."

Chen Pi heard this and suddenly felt a little moved, saying, "Official family, Mr. Su has been sent out of Beijing again."

Su Shi?

Zhao Xu was stunned, looked up at him and said, "What is the reason for this time?"

Chen Pi said: "What the Zhengshitang said was to be transferred to Yangzhou magistrate."

Zhao Xu thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "It seems that the Shu Party can't use it anymore."

The "old party" is not a monolithic part, it is divided into the Shuo Party, the Luo Party, and the Shu Party. It is mainly divided by academics. Different academics and political attitudes are also very different.

Sima Guang and others belonged to the Shuo Party, while the second Chengs were the Luo Party, and the brothers Su Shi and Su Zhe were the Shu Party.

Some people in the Shu Party have been excluded because of their position and should have been able to win over and exploit it, but unexpectedly, Su Shi was demoted again.

Chen Pi quickly analyzed the meaning of Zhao Xu's words, thinking that Zhao Xu had mentioned another person before, and said, "Officials, can that Cai Jing still be used?"

Zhao Xu flipped through the book, pondered for a moment, and said, "It should not be enough. We have to establish a little more prestige so that he and some people can see that I have hope of being in power, so that they will come over."

Chenpi was now thinking and said, "Does the official family want to use the court to do something for some people to see?"

Zhao Xu looked up at him and smiled and said, "It's not bad, I've learned to learn from one example."

Chen Pi smiled awkwardly and said, "This is not something that the official has mentioned, but only the little ones understand."

Zhao Xu glanced at the imperial guards outside, his eyes lightened, and he stood up and said, "Let's go, Cuju. By the way, where is Zhao Ji?"

Chen Pi hurriedly followed and said, "Your Highness Eleventh said he was going to see Mr. Su off and go to Su Mansion."

Zhao Xu laughed and said, "This little bastard has a conscience."

Zhao Xu left the study and attracted Chu You and others to try Cuju.

As a result, Chu You refused to agree, saying that he was "the task is in his own way, and he dared not slacken off."

Zhao Xu smacked his lips, and let him call Liu Heng and other groups, and added more than a dozen unfamiliar ones to form two teams.

Zhao Xu played tactics again and defeated the opponent. The yellow gates, palace maids and imperial guards around him cheered loudly.

After only half an hour of kicking, Zhao Xu discovered the problem. These imperial guards were really weak. In just half an hour, they were all out of breath and sweating, and they seemed to be unable to run. If Zhao Xu hadn't been there, they would have fallen to the ground long ago.

Seeing that they couldn't kick, Zhao Xu had to stop, take the towel, walk inside while wiping sweat, and said, "Chu You, what is the state of the imperial guards now? Haven't they trained?"

Chu You listened, his expression tightened and said, "I must strengthen the training of the imperial guards in the palace!"

Seeing that he had a wrong intention, Zhao Xu waved his hand, sat down on the steps, and said, "Tell me, what's going on with the imperial guards now?"

Chu You was stunned, then he realized it and said, "When you go back to the official family, there are currently 100,000 imperial guards in Kaifeng, distributed in the three yamen, most of which were selected from the Xiang army, and there are also ministers like this, and there are still many."

The Song Dynasty's army was divided into many types, including imperial guards, wing troops, etc., but imperial guards were almost collectively called, and the imperial guards were the imperial guards stationed in Kaifeng, Tokyo.

Zhao Xu listened to Chu You's words and said in confusion: "Didn't you say there are 800,000?"

Chu You knew that Zhao Xu didn't understand these things, so he sorted out his thoughts a little and said: "The official family has fought with Xia and Liao for many years, and the imperial guards have suffered a lot of losses, and so have the Xiang army. In addition, the imperial guards are transferred back and forth, many things have been ruined. During the Emperor of Shenzong, he also did sanctions and cuts."

Zhao Xu analyzed the taste from Chu You's words. In short, the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were already corrupt. In addition to institutional flaws, there should be also extravagant corruption, which led to the corruption of the imperial guards and lack of training.

No wonder during the Jingkang crisis, the Jin soldiers were as powerful as the bamboo shoot, and Kaifeng City was vulnerable! Such an army, let alone fighting, could not even run away, even if they escape!

Zhao Xu thought to himself that the checks and balances of the Song Dynasty were particularly serious. In addition to the so-called "generals do not recognize soldiers, soldiers do not recognize generals", there is also management interweaving.

Military power is divided into the "Three Ya" and the "Prince Academy". It has checks and balances and disputes with each other. It is inefficient and has internal strife almost all the time.

Zhao Xu shook his head for a while and said, "You can't interfere in military affairs for the time being, otherwise you will be forced to be in the palace and outside the palace. If you join forces to rebound, you will really be able to destroy the emperor."

Suddenly remembering Chu You talking about training, Zhao Xu stood up and said, "I will write you a training manual later. You can try it. If you have any questions, let's discuss it."

Chu You didn't expect Zhao Xu to write about training. He was stunned for a moment and raised his hand without objection and replied: "Yes."

As Zhao Xu said that, he went straight to the study, started to pick up the pen, recalled it carefully, and slowly started writing.

This thing is very troublesome to write. From time to time, he took four or five texts, which were densely packed, and he wrote them countless times.

Until dark, Chenpi came to take the lights. Zhao Xu stopped his sore wrist, looked at the texts on the table and the undry traces, and said to himself: "I have to reorganize them and tell Chu You that it will be given to him in a few days."

Tangerine Pi responded and continued: "Official family, do you want to have a meal?"

Zhao Xu nodded, then said, "Is there any movement outside?"

Chen Pi said: "No, Meng Tang went to the back of the Cining Palace, met Meiren Meng again, and then left the palace."

Now the palace gates are all Zhao Xu's people, and no one can hide it from anyone entering and leaving, and the same is true for Meng Tang to enter the palace.

Thinking of Meiren Meng, the famous Empress Meng in history, Zhao Xu recalled her past, probably thinking that this woman was very restrained, didn’t say much, did not do much, was obedient and strict with herself and was cautious.

Zhao Xu habitually pinched his earlobe with his right hand and said for a moment: "In a few days, I will meet Meiren Meng."

Because he was 'sick', he had not summoned the harem to serve in bed for a long time.

Chenpi immediately said, "Yes, the villain will make arrangements."

Zhao Xu glanced outside, got up and moved, and said, "Don't do anything tomorrow. Early in the morning, follow me to greet my grandmother."

Chenpi's scalp suddenly became numb and her eyes were a little panicked: "Official family, do you really want to go?"

What is the official doing? How will the Empress Dowager react?

If the two had a disagreement, would something unpredictable happen?

Zhao Xu looked at his expression, laughed, and said, "What do you think? Go and prepare."

Although the Song Dynasty often had things in the harem to rule from behind, some things would not happen, and they could not happen. For example, Zhao Xu and Empress Dowager Gao openly broke up with each other, it would never happen!

Either Zhao Xu was abolished by the "real charge", or one party took the initiative to make concessions. Those ministers in the Political Affairs Hall would never allow the royal war to happen!
