Chapter 9 Cai Que’s ambitions(1/2)

A child's sleep is enough to make all adults envious.

Zhao Xu slept until dawn. When he opened his eyes, he saw Grandma Guo squatting in front of him.

"Your Highness is awake?" Grandma Guo asked softly.

Zhao Xu nodded.

The mother-in-law of the country then came up with the palace maids to dress Zhao Xu.

While Zhao Xu was dressing, the mother-in-law said: "Just now, the Imperial Concubine Pavilion sent someone to report that the princess had a high fever and fainted in the middle of the night last night. Fortunately, Imperial Physician Qian stayed at the Chief Medical Officer's House in the Imperial City last night and entered the hospital in time.

Palace, administer medicine, diagnose and treat the princess, and finally resolve a crisis!"

After hearing this, Zhao Xu let out a sigh of relief.

Then, he turned his head and looked in one direction.

Direction of Kaibao Temple.

"Where's Feng Jing?" Zhao Xu asked.

"Feng Jing went to the imperial kitchen..." Granny Guo replied, "She should be back soon!"

"Oh!" Zhao Xu nodded and began to wash up under the service of the palace ladies.

As soon as he finished washing, Feng Jing came back from outside in a panic.

"Your Highness!" Feng Jing saw Zhao Xu who had washed up and immediately bowed.

"What's going on, you're so flustered?" Zhao Xu asked calmly.

"Your Majesty, I heard someone in the imperial kitchen saying that last night, there was a flood in Kaibao Temple. It was said that the fire was very severe. At dawn, the Kaifeng Mansion had just put it out, but most of the Gongyuan Temple had been burned to the ground!

"

"Got it!" Zhao Xu still nodded calmly.

But there was a sigh in my heart: "What is supposed to come will always come!"

What happened in the previous life will happen again according to its inherent trajectory.

However, this time, Zhao Xu finally saved his sister.

That innocent and cute little girl who likes to wear colorful clothes.

Zhao Xu also completely determined the current time.

Xinsi, February 17th, the eighth year of Yuanfeng.

There were only twelve days left before he was established as the crown prince in his previous life, and only seventeen days left before his father died.

"It seems that it is really the guidance of fate!" Zhao Xu sighed in his heart.

In his previous life, he was forced to grow up after the fire at Kaibao Temple and Wu Niang's death. He was forced to face the whole world alone at the age of just over eight years old.

This caused his character in his previous life.

Silent, perseverant, sensitive, suspicious.

But now, under his eight-year-old skin, he hides a fully mature soul with sufficient control over power and people's hearts.

No more fear.

On the contrary, he was still a little eager to try.

He wants to overcome those childhood nightmares.

To overturn the fears that had kept him awake at night.

Not just within this imperial city.

There are also those outside the imperial city.

Just like now, he has overcome his first fear: the pain of losing his sister!

Just by getting close to Queen Xiang and using Queen Xiang's power, he could easily do things that he couldn't do now.

Feng Jing swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "I heard that the two Zhishantang Zhishuo people were probably killed in the fire!"

Zhao Xu listened, looked at Feng Jing silently, and then sighed: "What can I do?"



Kaibao Temple, with Wuzhang River in the north and the Imperial City in the south, is a royal temple of the Song Dynasty and a scenic spot in Bianjing!

At this moment, in Kaibao Temple, countless fire fighters were coming and going.

The soldiers of the front department of the palace and the patrol soldiers of Kaifeng Prefecture had already carried out the corpses found from the ruins of the fire scene and placed them in the yard in front of the Gongyuan.

In the courtyard, a pair of cool umbrellas stood, silently telling the story of their master's status as an important minister.

"The approving Lang Zhaiman, the advising Lang Chen Fangzhi, and Xuande Lang Ma Ximeng have all been confirmed to be buried in the fire..."

Li Ding, the Minister of Household Affairs of Zhigongju, who was responsible for coordinating this provincial examination, reported the heavy losses caused by the fire to the ministers of the two governments and three provinces with great trembling.

Yuanfeng reorganized the system and changed the official ranks.

The former casual official rank has become the official rank.

The one who determined the salary and official position became a postal officer.

According to the Luge sent by Yuanfeng, court officials start from Tongzhilang and above, while Beijing officials are divided into five levels from Chengwulang to Xuandelang.

Now, here, two court officials have been burned to death, as well as a capital official who has risen to the top of the capital and is just waiting to be eliminated after enough grinding.

In the entire Song Dynasty, the total number of civil servants, officials, and court officials did not exceed 2,800.

Three people died here today!

This is already a big deal.

As a judge of tribute, Li Ding knew that he could never shirk his responsibility.

What's more, the identities of the three people who were burned to death are particularly sensitive!

Zhai Man's mission is: The King of Han, the professors of the Prince's Palace, and his relatives and friends all live in the house to give lectures!

Everyone who sees this mission will feel numb.

This is the teacher of the clan members!

But that's not the main event yet.

The key is that there are only two people left.

They have the same mission: Quan Zi Shan Tang speaks directly!

Unfortunately, the above three people have the same background - they are all staunch supporters of Xinfa and disciples of Wang Anshi!

They are also the lecturers selected by the officials in the Imperial College and the Imperial College to enlighten the children of the clan and the princes!

Today, everyone died here!

It's going to break the sky!

Li Ding, the minister of household affairs who knew about the Gongju examination, and Sun Jue, the secretary and young prisoner who had transferred these three people to Gongyuan to assist in marking papers, looked at each other.

At this moment, the ministers collectively recalled the great rebellion of Zhao Shiju!

That major case in Xining for eight years shocked the whole world.

I don’t know how many people were involved!

The people involved include civil servants, military ministers, imperial doctors, Si Tianjian...

In the end, not only the prime minister but also Sima Guang, who was writing a book in the cellar of Luoyang, was involved.

But the cause was simply a report by a commoner that a local leader, Bo, who resigned from office, "intended to commit rebellion."

When the magistrate tried the case, the case was dismissed due to lack of evidence.

But after reporting it to the officials, it finally reached the ears of the officials.

The officials sent someone to check...

The clan member Zhao Shiju is involved! And the personal and material evidence is conclusive!

These people have even prepared prophecies.

A big treason, a complete treason!

Then the scope of the review continued to expand, and more and more people were dug out.

In the end, it was the officials themselves who took the initiative to stop.

Otherwise, no one knows how many people will be involved.

Now, a fire broke out in Kaibao Temple, killing three lecturers personally selected by the officials to educate the clan and princes.

This would have been this time last year.

The entire Bianjing city must be turned over!

And now...
To be continued...
