While Zhang Dun and Cai Bian were talking to him, the news that Zhao Xu visited Su's house at night continued to spread.

Some people are thinking about the purpose of Zhao Xu's journey.

Wenfu.

Wen Yanbo stayed up late and was looking at various information and official documents.

He just came back and still had too many government affairs to be familiar with, especially Zhang Dun, Cai Bian and others have fabricated many "new laws".

These "new laws" are different from the "new laws" of the Shenzong Dynasty. They use the "Great Song Dynasty Law" as the mother law, and then involve more than 20 "new laws" including politics, military, officials, civilians, taxation, etc., and are being drafted in a step-by-step manner. There is currently a draft and is being finalized.

Wen Yanbo could feel that Zhang Dun and others could not wait. Perhaps the final determination will be made in the next few days, and the reign will be changed next year and the world will be promulgated.

Wen Fengcheng came in from outside with a lantern, slapped the snow on his body, and then saluted respectfully: "Grandpa."

Wen Yanbo continued to look and said, "What's the matter?"

Wen Fengcheng took a few steps and said, "Great Grandpa, because Lin Tangye scolded the Grand Prince's Mansion last time, people from the Cao family and Chen family were arrested by the Ministry of Justice. Now many people are trying to impeach the Grand Prince. There are a lot of people, and many people are involved in the royal family, nobles and nobles."

Wen Yanbo said: "Is the impeachment fake or is it for the 'new law'?"

The word "come" made Wen Fengcheng's eyelids jump violently.

Is it 'come', not 'going', is it because his great-grandfather has accepted becoming a courtier and supported the 'new law'?

Wen Yanbo was too old. He closed his eyes tiredly, slowly opened them again, leaned on the chair, and said, "It won't be a small fight. They still didn't understand."

Wen Fengcheng lowered his head, and felt that they could not do anything.

First of all, the current court is not the Shenzong Dynasty. Wang Anshi and others adhere to the integrity, pay too much attention to rules, and abide by many laws and regulations. They are gentlemen.

How can a gentleman last for a long time when he stands in the court?

Sima Guang and others were much more practical. They killed a series of "poetry cases" and swept all the "new party" out of the court and abolished the "new law" overnight. If Wang Anshi had this courage, he might not have wasted so many years.

Secondly, even the current official family is not the Emperor of Shenzong.

Although both father and son are the same, they lie to the grand husband to reform and give firm support.

But it is very different. Emperor Shenzong also values ​​character and is the first in terms of character. Therefore, he tolerated Sima Guang and Lu Gongzhu with great patience in the court.

The governments today are different, and he does not have such tolerance. In the current court, no one can compete with Zhang Dun, Cai Bian and others. At the same time, this young official also set a precedent for killing court officials!

The current imperial court is highly centralized. Wang Anshi had already restrained himself from it, and almost everyone had to make decisions on everything. But Zhang Dun was different. Not to mention that only a few idle people jumped out, even if a husband like Wang Cun took action, Zhang Dun could knock him down with his backhand.

"Is there any?" Wen Yanbo leaned on the chair, closing his eyes to rest.

Wen Fengcheng hurriedly said: "The Censorate and the 'Beijing Inspection' of the Ministry of Personnel are about to close the case. The two ministries are rushing to make statements, and they will probably go to the Political Affairs Hall tomorrow."

Wen Yanbo frowned and said, "It's just a means to eliminate dissidents."

Wen Fengcheng carefully studied this "Beijing Inspection". The outline was written very clearly, "observe the character and distinguish the ability." These are all investigations. So what is the purpose of the investigation?

it goes without saying.

Next year, the "Registration" will be changed and the "Shaosheng New Deal" will be promulgated. I am afraid that it will be a major cleansing again.

Wen Fengcheng did not follow the random comments and said, "Did my great-grandfather see the budget for next year?"

Wen Yanbo suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Wen Fengcheng, and said, "Where did you hear the news?"

Although Wen Yanbo's expression was still calm, Wen Fengcheng still felt the 'strict' and said more cautiously: "It is news from the Ministry of Revenue, and it is not a secret. Because the reign of next year, the government promised to cut off many taxes and reduce grain taxes. It is expected that the treasury revenue will drop sharply by 20% next year. In addition, the Ministry of Works needs a lot of money. Therefore, it is rumored that the court will further reduce expenditures and reduce the salaries and expenses of the army, officials, nobles and nobles, including the palace."

Wen Yanbo's eyes were old and shining, and he slowly said, "I didn't see it in the Political Affairs Hall."

Wen Fengcheng felt a sudden heart and did not dare to speak.

The power of the court was concentrated in two aspects: official hats and money and food.

Wen Yanbo, the official hat, will definitely not be able to get involved for a while, but this expenditure budget is always on guard against Wen Yanbo. This shows that Zhang Dun, Cai Bian and others are not a little bit alert to Wen Yanbo, and they really plan to use him as a tool for endorsement.

Wen Yanbo slowly closed his eyes again and said, "Continue."

Wen Fengcheng thought about it carefully and said, "In the court, some people are connecting with each other, preparing to impeach Grandpa."

Wen Yanbo has no expression at all.

What was the accident? He hid in his hometown and couldn't escape, let alone the city of Bianjing.

Wen Fengcheng hurriedly said, "There is also the matter of Jiangnan West Road. This happened before the officials returned to the court. It is logical that they should have been determined long ago. For some reason, the court was suppressed and the imperial city officials were not moving. Now that the king has gone, the imperial city officials have also gone. After so long, there is still no movement at all. The storm in the court is calm, as if they have forgotten this matter."

Wen Yanbo nodded slightly, without opening his eyes, and said, "You are the key point. A governor, or Li Qingchen's recommendation, and Zhang Dun's approval of him died inexplicably. Zhang Dun and others were inevitably furious, and even the officials would not let it go so easily. This matter is indeed a bit strange."

Wen Fengcheng became more cautious and lowered his head and said, "I used some relationships, including those in the Imperial City Division, and wanted to find out some information. It was not difficult, but there was no point in it. It seemed that they did not know how far the case was and how to deal with it. In Hongzhou Prefecture, Wang appointed vacant officials, settled some lawsuits, and reiterated the governor's yamen. Regarding He Yi's death, there seemed to be no action, and he did not reply to the capital."

"Wang Cun is in trouble."

Wen Yanbo still closed his eyes and said, "Jiangnan West Road seems to be a border area, but in fact it is a gap for Zhang Dun and others to implement the 'new law'. If Wang Cun handled it incompletely, let alone the Jiangnan West Road cannot be protected, he may have to be dragged into the water."

Although Wen Fengcheng did not enter the officialdom, he knew the depth of the water inside.

Listening to his great-grandfather's words, I realized that this was a big pit for Wang Cun, a "old party" and his great-grandfather. If it is handled inappropriately, it is likely that a big disaster will really occur.

Zhang Dun and others were posing as an open conspiracy!

Wen Fengcheng waited for a while, and saw that Wen Yanbo did not speak, he continued, "Li Xia and the Liao people are going to send Shichen again, because they wish to celebrate the birthday of the official family."

Zhao Xu's birthday is the fourth day of January. With the journey, the two countries only coordinated their exchanges, and they could almost get on the way.

Wen Yanbo said: "The Liao Dynasty was in chaos, and Li Xia was afraid of being beaten by the government. They all hoped that the government would quit the army, and they were worried that the government would be in a state of military power and continue to fight."

Wen Fengcheng waited for a while and said, "There is nothing else. Not long ago, the official family went to Mr. Dongpo's mansion and stayed for half an hour."

Wen Yanbo slowly opened his eyes, held the chair with his hands, and said, "Although it was unexpected, it was not surprising. If the official summoned me to the capital, it would be impossible for Su Shi to leave like this. He needed a united court to show the people of the world. Our official family is much more wise than the late emperor, and is more patient, tolerant, and knows how to advance and retreat. He is a very rational and clear purpose. In order to achieve his goal, he can tolerate and dare to be cruel. Nothing can stop him. The "ancestral system" is not in his eyes. This is something that the late emperor does not have."

You came to Beijing because of "you dare to be cruel too", right?
