Gu Zhengyang, the Marquis of Ningyuan, stood on the street with a sword, blocking the sedan chair of the assistant minister Cai Bian. This is not an ordinary thing.

The people were quickly surrounded by people, with a terrifying expression, and gathered together to whisper.

The yamen runners who patrol the streets of Kaifeng Prefecture wanted to get close, but were stopped by Cai Bian's guards.

Cai Bian stood in front of the sedan chair, looking at Gu Zhengyang standing sternly, with a blank expression on his face, thinking repeatedly, knowing that if he didn't give him an explanation, he would really not be able to get through today.

After thinking about it, he walked straight towards Gu Zhengyang.

Gu Zhengyang watched Cai Bian come over, snorted coldly, raised his long sword, and looked straight at Cai Bian.

Cai Bian looked motionless, reached out to block the sword, came to him, pondered and said: "The Zhengshi Hall has never discussed this matter before. This memorial appeared suddenly. The memorial is currently in the official family and has not been sent to the Zhengshi Hall for discussion."

Gu Zhengyang snorted coldly, raised his sword again, and said in a deep voice: "I want your truth!"

Cai Bian didn't look at his sword at all. He looked at Gu Zhengyang and said lightly: "After the court rests, the Political Affairs Hall will issue an order to introduce the new law. This is a plan that has been drawn up long ago. Within the framework of the new law, there is no item about abolishing the imperial examination. The abolition of the imperial examination is of great importance and will not be easily decided because of this book. I can only say so. If Ning Yuanhou made up his mind to block my way, I would go home."

Gu Zhengyang listened, his expression moved again and again. Cai Bian's words were still nonsense, and there was no accurate letter at all!

Gu Zhengyang took a deep breath, still full of anger, and said, "Okay! I will believe you once!" As he said that, he threw the sword aside, with a very bad expression, and said, "Go back and tell Cai Jing that there is Zhang Zihou, if they dare to do something randomly, no one will agree, and no one can save them!"

Cai Bian remained motionless, and Gu Zhengyang's threats had no effect in his eyes, and were nothing more than taking care of the noble face.

Gu Zhengyang knew better what he could not do to Cai Bian, so he snorted and turned around and left.

Cai Bian's guards escorted the officer, walked over, looked at Gu Zhengyang's back, and whispered behind Cai Bian: "Mr., with your order, I will take him."

He threatened the current minister with a sword on the street, which was a death sentence!

Cai Bian looked at Gu Zhengyang's back, shook his head, and said, "What is Xiao Xiao Ningyuan Marquis? Let's go, go to Kaifeng Prefecture."

The ward did not say much, and arranged again. After Cai Bian got into the sedan chair, he continued to go to Kaifeng Prefecture.

Before Cai Bian arrived in Kaifeng Prefecture, news about Ningyuan Hou blocking the road with a sword spread everywhere. Gu Zhengyang suddenly became a hero who "opposes chaos in politics and fights against treacherous slander" and everyone praised it.

Before Gu Zhengyang returned to the mansion, a group of people were waiting, and he urged him to a restaurant in a few words.

Many people had already sat in the restaurant, and immediately invited him to take the seat enthusiastically.

Gu Zhengyang was shocked when he looked at these people. Many of them were people who he had never cursed with in the past!

While drinking and chatting, Gu Zhengyang's face turned red and he slapped the wine glass with a thumping bang. He sprayed out many things he didn't dare to say in the past.

During the banquet, some people looked at each other quietly, with a proud look.

The news soon came back to the palace, and Zhang Dun was sitting on a chair, looking through a thick 'account book'.

He stood in front of him, Shen Qi, the clan of the Secretariat. Shen Qi looked at Zhang Dun and said cautiously: "My husband, this is mobilized from Kaifeng Prefecture and various prefectures and counties. The officials briefly reviewed the land account books of Kaifeng Prefecture, and there were indeed many hidden ones."

Zhang Dun just glanced a few times and shouted directly to a civil servant not far away: "Zheng Xi, sort out these accounts in the order of land acres, and I will re-examine them before the court starts."

Zheng Xi was a Jinshi in the seventh year of Yuanyou. He heard this and hurried over, carried a thick book, turned around and entered their civil servant room, arranged for people to sort out and register again.

Chen Qi and Zhang Dun finished making arrangements and said again: "Mr., about Ningyuan Hou..."

Zhang Dun looked calm and said, "Let him go."

Chen Qi looked at Zhang Dun's expression not as strict as before. His sword eyebrows were always calm, but instead felt more and more worried. He always felt a sense of depression that the storm was about to come and the wind filled the building.

Almost all the affairs of the government and the opposition were in Zhao Xu's eyes, and Cai Bian and Gu Zhengyang were in Zhao Xuerduo's way.

In the Chuigong Hall, Zhao Xu sat on a chair, examining various memorials about the "Military Reform".

Listening to Chen Pi’s report, he said to himself: “Why don’t they have the courage to do this twenty years later…”

Chenpi was stunned, twenty years later?

Zhao Xu just said to himself that in fact, in history, Cai Jing did abolish the imperial examinations, but no one saw a generous sword, but more of them were vassals and in a mess.

After all, Cai Jing's reforms were to cater to Huizong, and to retake the interests of the official group again. The real reforms were superficial, so he could sit in the chair of the Taishi, hold power for many years, and stand firm.

What Zhao Xu is going to do now is a real and a thorough reform, so these people can't sit still after all.

"I moved their cheese..."

After a long time, Zhao Xu said to himself again. In the current Song Dynasty, everyone has a background, and the court is basically controlled by the gentry and noble groups. It is very difficult for poor children to make a breakthrough.

This phenomenon is becoming more and more serious. The imbalance in the Song Dynasty is not only the rich and the poor, but is simply all-round!

'cheese?'

Chen Pi muttered to himself, he became increasingly unable to understand.

Zhao Xu has been staring at the memorial in front of him. This was written by Tong Guan, about all aspects of military reform. From this memorial, we can see that the military reform plan of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War was implemented quite smoothly, and there was a gratifying progress. There was not much chaos in the northern regions.

Zhao Xu nodded secretly, which was consistent with the information he received.

I don’t know how long it took, a small yellow door quietly came in and whispered a few words in Chenpi’s ear.

Chen Pi waved him back with a look of motionlessness. When Zhao Xu had a gap, he turned sideways and said, "Official family, Mr. Su has entered the palace and went to Qingbiao Hall."

Zhao Xu was about to take a break, and picked up the teacup and turned to him and said, "Didn't I say that people outside are not allowed to disturb my mother?"

Chen Pi bowed and said apologizing: "The Concubine always hoped that Mr. Su would enter the palace to teach His Thirteenth Highness, so the guards did not dare to stop him."

Zhao Xu snorted and laughed, held the teacup, and looked at the palace outsider: "This is a good loophole."

Chenpi hesitated and said, "Do you want to drive him out?"

Zhao Xu waved his hand with the tea lid and said, "No need."

After saying this, he said with some emotion: "Mr. Su is really, no wonder he is not tolerated by the court, and was exiled from Beijing three times and four times..."

A person like Su Shi who was eager to emerge in everything, did not know how to adapt, and did not pay attention to methods, was that the Song Dynasty court was relatively "harmonious" - not killing people.

Otherwise, Su Shi would not know how many times he had been murdered.

Zhao Xu took a sip of tea, looked towards the green tiled room, and suddenly said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang has put on a big move..."

Tangerine bent down, as if she didn't hear it.

After Zhao Xu said this, he took another sip of tea and said, "Mr. Zhang works so hard that I can't be idle. Go and sort out the list of my great nobles and nobles of the Song Dynasty."

Tangerine Pi's tone was plain and she said, "Yes."

People outside didn’t know what Zhang Dun was planning, but Chen Pi knew it well as Zhao Xu’s eunuch – it was more than just a big move…

Zhao Xu put down the teacup, rubbed his face with both hands, calmed down, and continued to look at the memoir in front of him.

At the same time, Su Shi had arrived at the birthday celebration hall.

Concubine Zhu was very happy about Su Shi's arrival. She thought Su Shi had agreed. She welcomed Su Shi in excitedly and politely, and said with a smile: "Sir Su is welcome to come in quickly, there is no need to be detained, please sit down."

Concubine Zhu respects literature like Su Shi very much and wants to be a gentleman for Zhao Si. She is really negligent.

Su Shi saluted respectfully, without sitting down, and said bluntly: "Empress, the lower officials are guilty. Returning to Beijing is for funeral at home. Without the permission of the Political Affairs Hall, the lower officials cannot stay in Beijing."

Concubine Zhu didn't care and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Su, I'll tell you that the couple of the ministers in the Political Affairs Hall can still give me some face."

Concubine Zhu has such confidence, but no matter how unsatisfied Zhao Xu is, she is still willing to listen to her.

The reason why she was so anxious was actually because of the concerns caused by Zhao Ji's deposed queen. One of his sons is an official family, so she no longer has to continue to worry, but her younger son Zhao Si, her future path made her worried.

Su Shi came this time, so naturally he didn't come back to continue to be a lecturer in the palace. He pondered and said, "Empress, can you hear that... the court is going to abolish the imperial examination?"

Concubine Zhu didn't pay much attention to the outside of the palace, and the people in the palace would not tell her this. She was stunned and said, "Abolish the imperial examination?"

Concubine Zhu is the kind of woman who lives at home, as long as the family is good, she cares about everything outside. But even so, she knows that abolishing the imperial examination is not a trivial matter.

She immediately understood Su Shi's purpose, the remaining smile on her face disappeared, and said lightly: "Mr. Su, I am just a wife and don't know so many things. These ministers from the government and government affairs hall are in charge..."

Su Shi raised his hand and said, "Empress, the court is now in chaos and everything is complicated. I am worried that the government will be bewitched. The abolition of the imperial examination is actually a chaotic government in the chaos, and it is related to the fundamentals of our great Song Dynasty. I ask the empress to explain the matters and the government clearly..."

Concubine Zhu was a little annoyed and interrupted him, "If Mr. Su really doesn't want to enter the palace, I won't force it."

Seeing that Concubine Zhu was unhappy, Su Shi was unable to persuade him, and felt more uneasy. He pressed his hand and raised his hand and said, "Please think twice, and the officials will leave."

Concubine Zhu looked at Su Shi's worried expression, as if she felt rude just now, so she stood up and sent Su Shi out of the birthday celebration hall.

Su Shi hesitated for a while, sighed in his heart, said nothing, and left the palace directly.

Concubine Zhu looked at Su Shi's back and hesitated a little.

She didn't want to get involved in Zhao Xu's affairs, which would make Zhao Xuping trouble. Su Shi's worry made her feel a little reluctant.

At this time, a palace maid came over and said, "Empress, the wife of Zhu Qianzhen's family is here again and brings a lot of things."

Concubine Zhu frowned. Although her surname was Zhu, she had nothing to do with the Zhu family. She was tired of it and said directly: "If things are left, the people will disappear."

After saying that, Concubine Zhu said, "Zhao Si, what are You'e doing now?"

The palace maid said: "The Thirteenth Princess and the Tenth Princess are both in Funing Hall. The Thirteenth Princess is riding a horse. The Tenth Princess is making fans for the official family. The last time the hand seemed to be broken."

After hearing this, Concubine Zhu smiled and said with a ease in her heart. After all, Zhao Si and Zhao You'e are the same mother as the official family, which is different from Zhao Ji after all.

Thinking of Zhao Ji, Concubine Zhu had a headache again and said, "Go and call Eleven over and lock me up in the room. Without my permission, he will not be allowed to run out again."
