Zhao Ji was used to being kicked by Zhao Xu, and he touched his butt and mumbled in his mouth.

Zhao Xu then thought of the two routes in Hebei, and didn't know if Xu Jiang and them could stabilize.

Even if the heavy rain is suspended, the two roads in Hebei are still very dangerous as the downstream, and there may be a possibility of breaking the dam at any time.

On the way back to the palace between Zhao Xu and Zhao Ji, the turmoil between the court and the country did not stop.

The voices of clamoring for "reversal of the case" were unprecedentedly high, and the "old party" seemed to have disappeared. No one was trying to continue to press, and everyone was shouting for "reversal of the case".

The six ministers of the ministers in Beijing were very vigilant and used all their means to stabilize the court officials.

Inside the green tiled house.

Su Song and Zhang Dun, the three of them sat there, silent and waiting.

I don’t know how long it took to suffer, Chen Qi hurried over and said directly: “Three grandparents, Fan and Xie Lin have all gone back, what if the government didn’t do with them.”

Su Song and Cai Bian's face quickly relaxed with naked eyes. Zhang Dun's eyes were burning and said, "Do you know what the official said?"

Chen Qi shook his head and said, "The civil servants in the Political Affairs Hall dare not approach, they just wait and see from a distance."

Zhang Dun looked at Su Song in a blink of an eye.

Su Song had just breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Zhang Dun's gaze, he frowned and stood up knowingly and said, "I'll go to Fan Mansion."

Cai Bian listened and said alertly: "I'll go see Xie Lin."

They must figure out what the officials should do, otherwise they will be nervous and unable to do things at all.

Zhang Dun watched the two of them leave, his sword eyebrows slightly raised and said, "Have the official family returned to the palace?"

Chen Qi hurriedly said, "On the way back to the palace."

Zhang Dun's eyes flashed for a moment, and he stood up and went straight to Chugong Hall.

Outside, Zhao Xu had seen Fan Bailu, and the news about Xie Lin gradually dispersed, causing a lot of noise. Some people were nervous and inquire about it.

Zhao Xu drove Zhao Ji back. Knowing that Zhang Dun was waiting for him, he wandered around in his heart, and suddenly smiled and walked towards the Chuigong Hall.

When Zhang Dun saw Zhao Xu coming in, he saluted with a solemn expression.

Zhao Xu strode back to his seat, waved his hand, and said, "Sit down, ask if you have anything you want."

Zhang Dun did not sit down, and before Zhao Xu sat down, he said, "I want to know how the official family will settle the 'Dengzhou Ayun case'."

Zhao Xu sat down, took the teacup, looked at Zhang Dun, and said, "Fan Bailu will write a letter to recognize that this is their first mistake. I will dismiss him and some people from office. By the way, make some changes to the judicial field."

Zhang Dun's eyebrows remained moving, and his face was meditating.

If Fan Bailu was willing to write a letter to admit these mistakes, the court could indeed successfully overturn the case, resolve the current difficulties, and lay the groundwork for liquidating the "old party".

However, Zhang Dun obviously noticed the 'some changes' in Zhao Xu's subsequent words and said, "Dare you ask Your Majesty, what kind of changes should you make?"

Zhao Xu took a sip of tea and said, "I have reflected on this case and believed that the small criminal case will evolve into this way. There are three reasons: one is that the court officials overturned their power, wanted to interfere in the justice, and regarded the three courts as nothing, and almost a joke to overturn the case. Second, the three judicial status is too low and they are unable to compete with the interference of powerful officials in the court, so that the judicial system is corrupt, becoming a party struggle and suppressing dissidents. Third, the conflict between law and etiquette is not determined whether it is a major etiquette or a serious criminal law."

Zhang Dun was stunned. Most of the court officials were still stuck in party struggles, thinking about how to attack political enemies. How could Zhao Xu have thought so much!

Even if Zhang Dun hates the "old party", he is not without a bottom line. The powerful ministers who only know how to take power will not lose their minds because of power. After listening to Zhao Xu's words, he thought carefully for a long time. He said, "Does the officials want to set rules for the court officials, raise the Dali Temple's essays, and revise the criminal laws and etiquette?"

Zhao Xu smiled satisfied with Zhang Dun's point and said, "Your family can understand me."

There is no problem with setting rules for court officials, revising criminal laws, and etiquette. However, how much can the Dali Temple improve its quotations?

How can Dali Temple be a part of the court? How can it resist?

Zhang Dun kept thinking in his heart, but he could not find a way to make Dali Temple independent of the political affairs hall.

Zhao Xu did not make things difficult for him and said directly: "I have some ideas about Dali Temple. Some can start immediately, and some can take it slowly. Listen. First, Dali Temple only conducts internal promotions, not transfer from outside, nor move out from inside. Second, Dali Temple needs to expand downward, and currently set up a lower level in various ways to manage civil and criminal punishments. Third, Dali Temple Ministers are temporarily appointed as the first rank, Dali Temple Ministers shall be appointed as the royal family, and six young ministers shall be appointed. If there is a disputed case, vote will be made, and the minority will obey the majority, and seven people will not be removed from the list without serious crimes. Fourth, the circuit department will be established as the final trial, and it will be transferred to the local area, and complex cases will be investigated, clean up corruption cases, and accumulated cases..."

Zhang Dun stared at him, his eyebrows raised, and his expression was stern.

What Zhao Xu said was far beyond his imagination!

Doing this will indeed be of great benefit to the court and the entire Song Dynasty, and the benefits will be unimaginable. But if you really want to do this, it will inevitably arouse countless opposition.

Most people in the government and the people would not allow Dali Temple to have such transcendent power, and the local government would not agree, which deprived them of their power.

There is such a mechanism, which is a rope hanging around the neck, how can you easily agree?!

Zhang Dun thought quickly in his heart, and almost instantly, he raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I will do this matter. Please do not interfere more."

Zhao Xu was stunned and immediately understood what Zhang Dun meant, and he wanted to take the blame for him.

Zhao Xu felt grateful in his heart, and for a moment, stood up and walked out of the table, stood beside Zhang Dun, looked outside the Chuigong Hall, and said with a smile: "At the beginning, I left Su Gong, told him that I would stay him for two years. Two years later, I will take on the big things and ensure that he will return to his old age. The "new law" was opposed by the people of the world. In the future, you, my king and my ministers will inevitably be slandered and thorny, step by step. Today, I will also tell you a sentence: I am the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and I will never blame you! One day in the future, as long as I am still in this position, I will guarantee you to escape and enjoy your old age! There is no alchemy and iron coupon, no certificate, only my words."

Zhang Dun's expression was moved. Without the iron coupon of alchemy books, only this sentence could show firmness!

Zhang Dun's eyes were slightly red, and he knelt down slowly, knocked his head to the ground, and said in a deep voice: "My memory, Zhang Dun, I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty, the Great Song Dynasty, and never give up!"

At this time, a small yellow gate appeared not far from Chuigong Hall and saw this scene.

The official family stood, looking at the sky outside with his hands behind his back. Zhang Dun knelt, and the lingering sound was echoing.

...

When Su Song and Cai Bian came back from outside, Zhang Dun was already in the imperial edict room.

Su Song and Cai Bian came back one after another, and their expressions were much more relaxed.

Requesting Fan Bailu to write a letter to confess his guilt is indeed the best way to deal with it. It can solve the current dilemma and will also control the impact to the minimum.

"Mr. Zhang is in the imperial edict production room?"

As soon as Cai Bian came back, he heard the clerk's words.

The clerk responded and said, "Yes, after Mr. Zhang came back from Chuigong Hall, he went to the imperial edict production room."

Cai Bian thought for a while and turned to the Political Affairs Hall.

The imperial edict production room is next to the Political Affairs Hall. After the reform, the imperial edict production does not have as many complicated processes as the three-section. It only takes three-phase review and can be sent to the Chuigong Hall for stamping.

At this time, Su Song was already next to Zhang Dun, watching with him the civil servant drafting the detailed content of the edict.

Su Song listened to the first one, but had no expression.

It was a punishment for Fan Bailu and others. After Lu Dafang and others were sentenced to death, Fan Chunren and others were imprisoned one after another. Even if Fan Bailu was killed and executed, it seemed that it was not that shocking.

When Su Song saw the second passage, he slowly changed color.

The second is the edict from the palace officials, and the "warning edict" issued to the ministers, requiring the ministers to "uphold their integrity, be wise and obey the law and etiquette", and severely rebuked the past court officials' interference in the affairs of the three courts and the push of a small civil case to the level of party struggles between the court and the opposition, and for more than 20 years.

The court officials were required to "perform their duties and not exceed their power", respect the three judicial departments, and not wantonly interfere. Among them, Sima Guang, Fu Bi and others were named.

Su Song had a clear premonition of something, and when he looked at the third road, Cai Bian also came in.

The civil servant picked up the pen and planned it for a while. Seeing the three husbands staring behind him, he couldn't help but turn around and look at him, saying to Zhang Dun: "Mr. Zhang, do you write as you have drafted?"

Zhang Dun had a expressionless face and said, "Just polish it a little."

Cai Bian had already noticed that the atmosphere was a little wrong, so he stepped forward to look at the text drafted by Zhang Dun, and said in a hurry: "Elevate Dali Temple to a first-class level, and King Zhao Hao of Yan also serves as the Minister of Dali Temple? The imperial officials are not allowed to interfere in the Dali Temple's trial and judgment of the case..."

Cai Bian suddenly turned around and looked at Zhang Dun and said, "You forgot about the death of the late emperor? The relationship between Zhao Hao and the palace is very unpredictable. How can he also serve as the Minister of Dali Temple?"

Cai Bian was really shocked. Zhao Hao was the second uncle of the official family. After the death of Emperor Shenzong, he was involved in the battle for the throne. Although the matter was complicated, only he knew whether Zhao Hao himself had that thought.

Moreover, what role did Zhao Hao play in the matter of Empress Dowager Xiang? Although the Empress Dowager concealed this matter, Cai Bian, who knew some of the inside story, could not think much about it.

What's more, now that Empress Dowager Gao is under house arrest in Cining Hall, will she have another idea and do something with the second uncle of the official family?

Su Song did not pay attention to Zhao Hao, but instead focused on the piazza of Dali Temple. Once Dali Temple became a first-class yamen, it would be on par with the same level as the Political Affairs Hall.

Suddenly, there is a powerful power organization that is not under their control, and is afraid that the government and the public will be panicked, right?

Zhang Dun took all the expressions of the two, and his sword eyebrows moved, saying, "Zhao Hao means the official family."

Cai Bian heard this and immediately woke up.

Yes, Zhang Dun could not ignore Zhao Hao's matter, and it was even more impossible for the government to ignore it!

Su Song pondered for a while and said, "The affairs of Dali Temple need to be discussed for a long time. Now that the reform has begun, the situation is complicated and the court and the country is in full swing. If you throw this matter out, you are afraid that it will be in chaos again..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Dun said, "There will be chaos, but there will be no chaos."

Su Song's brows moved and his expression was irritated.
