All the Heavens Return

"However, Pindao has a sentence that I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"Brother Dao has something to say, you might as well speak up."

"Youth is fleeting, and beauty is easy to grow old. Fellow Daoists are highly cultivated, so you should be vigilant."

"Thank you for reminding me, Brother Dao." Chu Feng smiled, without showing the slightest worry in his expression.

"It's getting late, please come into the mansion for a while, and take a look at the scenery in the mansion in an instant."

"It's annoying."

Liu Hunkang saw that he didn't care, so he stopped talking, thanked him, and led all his disciples to the mansion.

Chapter 570 Four Thousand Ghosts Erosion of Yang and Transformation of Yin and Yang

"Officials, Zhang Xiang asks to see you."

In the Hall of Yanhe, Zhao Ji was sitting in front of the desk reviewing the memorial, but at this moment, a young servant came in.

"Xuan."

Zhao Ji didn't raise his head, and continued to read carefully.The servant retreated respectfully, and within a short while led a person back, who was the Prime Minister Zhang Dun.

"Veterans see officials."

"You don't need to be too polite, Zhang Yan, show Zhang Xiang a seat." Chu Feng put down the memorial in his hand, and ordered.

"Thank you for your kindness."

Zhang Dun bowed again, and only sat down when his servant Zhang Yan brought the seat.

"Master Zhang was appointed as the envoy of the mountain mausoleum to be in charge of the burial of the emperor's brother. I don't know how it is going?"

"The old minister dare not neglect, he has been busy for several days, and everything is going well."

"That's good." Zhao Ji nodded, paused, and then asked,

"Zhang Xiang is here, but what's the matter?"

"The official sees thousands of miles away, and the old minister really has something important to say." Zhang Dun stood up again, and said solemnly,

"The minister is getting old, and he is becoming more and more unable to deal with political affairs. I hope that the officials will agree to allow the old minister to return to his hometown after the funeral of the late emperor."

"Going home?" Zhao Ji asked calmly with his eyes narrowed,

"But what's wrong with me, Ling's Zhang Xiang doesn't want to be an official?"

"I don't dare, because I am old and frail, and I dare not eat a vegetarian meal in the corpse."

Zhang Dun looked determined, as if he had already made up his mind.

Zhao Ji groaned silently, and briefly glanced at the other party.He knew very well in his heart that the so-called old age and frailty were just an excuse, and the fundamental reason was that he had previously opposed his succession to the throne.

"The affairs of the state are complicated, and I have just ascended the throne. There is still something that needs the assistance of the Qing family, so let's put this matter aside for the time being."

"official"

"Okay." Zhao Ji's tone was unquestionable, he interrupted the other party directly, and changed the subject,

"The provincial examination is approaching, and there are many candidates in Bianjing City. Is there any arrangement?"

"The Ministry of Rites has already prepared for this matter, so the officials don't have to worry about it."

Seeing the official's attitude, Zhang Dun immediately understood that the matter mentioned might not be done.

However, he couldn't help but have too many doubts in his heart. The official family in front of him was a little different from what he had imagined, or quite different.

To put it bluntly, it always gave him an unfathomable feeling.In particular, his words and deeds are calm and steady, and his emotions and anger are invisible.Compared with the former King Duan, he seemed to be a different person.

No matter what, it was a good thing, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.It's a pity that some of my words and deeds in the past were too extreme, and there is no possibility of redemption.

"This is the first provincial examination since I ascended the throne. You and the Minister should discuss more and make sure this matter is completed successfully."

"The old minister obeys the order."

Zhang Dun saluted again, there was nothing else to do, and then he left.

The hall became quiet again, however, watching the other party's disappearing back, Zhao Ji secretly meditated.

Just to add a word, \app\ is really good, it’s worth installing, even Android and Apple phones support it!

Let Zhang Dun resign?Such thoughts are extinguished as soon as they are born.

In the past, Shenzong used Wang Anshi to preside over the reform and forcefully implement the New Deal.However, although his idea is good, it ignores the essence of the Song court. This is a world dominated by a family of people, and the emperor is also a part of it and belongs to the vested interests.

The various measures of the New Deal are to cut off the flesh of the people and benefit the world, which directly violates the fundamental interests of the other party, so it is almost impossible to implement it smoothly.

Sure enough, the reform ended without a problem.

However, this was an introduction. After that, the entire Song Dynasty began to split from top to bottom, including the royal family, and finally divided into two forces.One party is the reformers who support the New Deal, which is the New Party, and the rest are conservatives who oppose the New Deal, which is the Old Party.

From the Shenzong Dynasty to the Zhezong Dynasty, the rivalry between the two forces has been constant and has not stopped for a moment.

Of course, no matter whether it is a new party or an old party, the reform is just a high-sounding excuse, and there is no difference in essence. It is nothing more than a conflict of interests.

"Zhang Dun, the leader of the new party faction, it's best to stay at the moment, otherwise, who will be the shield for the next thing? As for the future, it doesn't matter whether it's the new party or the old party."

He whispered in his heart, and seemed to think of something, and a smile could not help showing in his eyes.
