Chapter 695: Chaos and Disaster

Zhao Xu's firm and stern attitude did not give a single gap.

Su Song, Wang Cun, Wen Yanbo and others had no chance to "dispute" at all, and Zhang Dun's attitude was also firm.

The emperor's attitude has always been, the "new party" supports it, the centrists support it, and the "old party" has no room for play.

After the imperial meeting in Chuigong Hall ended, the court's reaction was also violent.

The Political Affairs Hall quickly held an enlarged meeting, and all officials of third rank or above in Beijing and some special officials attended the meeting.

The conference room was in the large conference room on the right side of the first floor of the Advisory Yuan, with more than a hundred people sitting.

There were six ministers and ministers, as well as officials including the Privy Council, the Censorate, the Dali Temple, the Imperial City Department, the Qingtianwei, the Imperial College, and other officials attended.

Zhang Dun sat in the main seat, with Zhang Ju, Wen Yanbo, Wang Cun, Cao Zheng on the right, Su Song, Cai Bian, Lin Xi, Li Qingchen and Xu Jiang on the left.

Ten husbands sat in front, sitting in the same position, sitting upright, with a serious and even cold face.

The officials below also raised their heads and chests, and no one felt relaxed at all.

At such a huge meeting, it was quiet and the needles could be heard!

The news has been spread, and everyone knows that the court is extremely angry. Who dares to be absent at this time will be terrible and unimaginable!

Zhang Dun's sword eyebrows were raised, his face was full of anger and a compulsive look. He looked around everyone and said in a deep voice: "Since last year, major cases on Jiangnan West Road have never been cut off one after another, which has shocked the world. It has never happened since the founding of the Song Dynasty!"

Zhang Dun's words made everyone present feel shocked.

Su Song's face was expressionless, Wen Yanbo was indifferent, and Wang Cun could not hide his worries in peace.

Zhang Feng, Lin Xi, Li Qingchen and others were relatively calm.

The following six ministers Lai Zhizhi, Liang Tao, Su Shi and others have their own expressions and do not look squint.

Shen Kuo of the Imperial College, Xing Shu of the Dali Temple, Huang Lu of the Censorate, etc., sat upright and looked as if he was just a little calm.

"In the past, some people spoke and said righteously that the chaos was caused by reforms. Now, building bridges and roads, clearing the canals of the people, all kinds of things that benefit the people were destroyed overnight, and millions of money and food were damaged!"

"Is this caused by the new policy? Is this what they call for the country and the people, and what is righteousness?"

"The root of all this is selfishness! The 'Shaosheng New Policy' is to enrich the people and strengthen the country, but they are unhappy and unwilling to do so. They just want to invite fame and integrity, regardless of the safety of the world, and they only have reputation and official positions and those broken silvers in their hearts!"

Zhang Dun's eyes were sharp, and he echoed word by word in the conference hall.

I don’t know how many people quietly straightened their backs and their faces became more and more serious.

Cai Bian remained silent, and Yu Guang glanced at Su Song and others, thinking in his heart: Will they act according to the intentions of the officials?

What is obvious now is that the officials and Zhang Dun had a tacit understanding and wanted to use this incident to label the opposition as a "traitor" and was the culprit of destroying the national affairs of the Song Dynasty. Then the "Shaosheng New Policy" was renamed nationwide!

Will Su Song and others be willing to do so?

But it is a naked crime to destroy bridges, roads, and ditches, and no one can bear it!

Zhang Dun continued, harshly scolding, making many things happening in the West Road of Jiangnan, and harshly denounced them, firmly putting the charges in place without leaving any gaps.

No one refuted it, it was silent, only Zhang Dun's voice echoed.

It took only half an hour for Zhang Dun to stop 'asking for the crime' and issued an order, saying: "First, all government agencies must seriously and thoroughly understand that the bad things that happened in Jiangnan West Road are not different opinions on the national affairs, but completely chaotic countries. This is something that the government cannot tolerate, and the court cannot! Those present must clearly understand the importance, necessity and seriousness of the 'Shaosheng New Policy'!"

"Secondly, all government agencies must convey the essence of this conference clearly and accurately and implement the will of the officials. They must not be ambiguous, nor should they be perfunctory! No one dares to be scheming in this matter and treat the same crime as the same crime, and will never be forgiven!"

"Third, the court must inform the world with the strictest attitude of the handling of Jiangnan West Road. People who are "disrupting government and harming the country" cannot be forgiven. There is no room for discussion on this!"

"fourth……"

Zhang Dun said one by one, his tone was stern and unquestionable!

No one spoke, and no one expressed different opinions. This meeting was to convey Zhao Xu's will in the Chugong Hall, and Zhang Dun supplemented and improved it.

The meeting of the Political Affairs Hall was undoubtedly shocked, and under Zhang Dun's strong presidency, there were no accidents.

At the end of the Political Affairs Hall meeting, everyone still looked serious and left the conference room of the Consultative Yuan without squinting.

In another conference room of the Advisory Council, more than 30 people were waiting for a long time.

Su Song came in, all his eyes were cast, with countless meanings in his eyes, but no one spoke.

The consultative component of the Advisory Yuan is very complicated. Except for the people arranged by Zhao Xu, Su Song, Zhang Dun, the "new party", the "old party", and other thoughts, they are still fighting and not fully in place.

Su Song sat down in his position with a crutch, looked around, and said, "You all know the matter. Let me talk about the results of the enlarged meeting of the Political Affairs Hall. First: The court has characterized the bad things that happened on Jiangnan West Road as "disrupting government and damaging the country". No one can argue about this!"

Everyone looked at Su Song and didn't say anything.

Destroying official roads, bridges, civil canals, etc. is such a thing that is unreasonable and is an untolerable evil.

"Secondly, the court's attitude is consistent, and so is the Consultative Yuan. When expressing externally or privately, be careful in words and actions. Any remarks that are contrary to the court and cause any adverse effects will be held accountable!"

"Third, the Advisory Council will issue a series of newspapers to severely criticize what happened in Jiangnan West Road. You must sign all of them and write to clearly express your position!"

"Fourth, I don't care how you came about. There are some things that you need to have an absolute position and not be biased. You must be clear and clear, and not be ambiguous!"

Su Song's words shocked him when he looked at each other quietly.

They have been speculating that in this matter, Su Song may continue to "appease" and defend the opposition for Jiangnan West Road.

The meeting of the Privy Council was relatively simple, and Zhang Yue just gave a few simple explanations.

At the request of Zhang Yue, the Privy Council has always been independent of political affairs and does not involve government affairs or party struggles.

The most intensive and time-consuming meetings are the six departments.

The six ministers of the Ministry of Personnel held an enlarged meeting, and the Ministry of Personnel directly dismissed a doctor and three ministers, which shocked a considerable number of people.

The Ministry of Justice was on high alert, and Lai Zhishao was already picking up people and preparing to go to Jiangnan West Road in person.

The Imperial City Department seemed very calm, but sent a team of people to quickly leave the capital and go south.

The most surprising thing is the Imperial College.

The Imperial College not only held meetings in the prison, but also held a teacher-student meeting in the Imperial College.

At the conference, Shen Kuo explained in detail the big and small things that happened in Jiangnan West Road in the past year, especially severely condemning a series of recent events.

He conveyed the summary of the meeting of the Political Affairs Hall and asked the Imperial College and the Imperial College to have the clearest attitude to cut off from those who are chaotic and damaging the country, maintain their original aspirations, be firm and upright, abandon personal interests, be loyal to the emperor, be loyal to the court, and serve the country and the people.
