The weather was hot. Except for accompanying Zhao Zhen out some time ago, Li Zhang stayed at home and accompanied his wife most of the time. Of course, he ran around at home and Miaoyuan. The relationship between the two is almost half public now. After all, they have children, and Zhao Zhen also knows it. Even if the news is blocked, there are some rumors. Of course, no matter how you know it, no one dares to discuss this matter publicly. After all, it is really terrifying that this matter involves several people.

The cicadas on the tree are screaming constantly, which is strange. When people are irritated, the cicadas sound like messy, and even make people feel more impatient. However, when people are leisurely, the cicadas sound is like a hypnotic magic sound, which makes people drowsy every summer.

Li Zhang originally wanted to coax An Ran to fall asleep. Since his son was born, Qingzhi has devoted all his energy to his son, and Yan Niang is pregnant, so as long as Li Zhang is at home, An Ran will be taken care of by him. However, this girl is energetic and doesn't like taking a nap. As a result, Li Zhang wanted to coax her to sleep at noon today, but he didn't expect that as he coaxed her, he fell asleep first.

When Li Zhang woke up, he found An Ran lying on his chest and fell asleep, holding the fluffy bear he made for him in his hand. The fluffy bear was exactly the same as the teddy bears of later generations, except that the fur was used outside and cotton was stuffed inside.

Looking at his daughter who was sleeping heavily on her chest, Li Zhang didn't dare to move, for fear of waking up this lively little guy. Moreover, Xia Tian was too lazy to move, especially when he woke up, so he simply lay on the recliner and swayed gently.

This is the water room of Li Zhang's family. The so-called water room is usually built next to a flowing river. The water truck lifts up the river water and then pours it on the roof. The water flows through the roof and takes away the scorching summer heat. There is a small river in Li Zhang's family that is brought from the Bian River, which can be built. There is even a similar palace in the palace called Hanliang Hall, which is the place where the emperor specializes in the summer vacation.

The temperature in the water room is moderate, neither cold nor hot, but after all, the temperature here is relatively high, so it is not good for children and the elderly to stay for a long time. Li Zhang reached out and took a blanket next to him to cover his daughter, then looked up at the roof and thought about things.

The impact of the incorporation of the Judicial Officer's Court into the Ministry of Personnel is still fermenting. Coupled with the news that Li Zhang deliberately leaked, it attracted the attention of everyone in the court and the public. Now everyone is speculating about what Zhao Zhen is going to do? Are you really planning to attack the entire officialdom? After all, if the structure of the six ministries is restored, the entire officialdom of the Song Dynasty will almost be pushed back and started again.

However, Li Zhang knew that people outside would have an answer soon, because just at noon yesterday, Fan Zhongyan finally returned to the capital from Suzhou. With his temperament, he probably would take office today. Fan Zhongyan's position is neither high nor low. He was appointed as the Minister of Personnel and was considered the deputy of the Shangshu, but he was in charge of the important task of rectifying the officialdom.

In other words, Fan Zhongyan will be a sharp knife in Zhao Zhen's hand, helping him to perform a major operation on the officialdom, remove the tumors and lesions in the officialdom, and thus restore the health of the administrative institutions of the Song Dynasty.

Thinking of Fan Zhongyan, Li Zhang couldn't help but secretly say "sorry". Originally, the light brought by this change should belong to Fan Zhongyan. Although Fan Zhongyan's new Qingli policy soon failed, it made his personality even more glorious. However, under the influence of Li Zhang, this change came early, and the glory belonging to Fan Zhongyan was gone. Of course, Fan Zhongyan could still become a famous minister, but I'm afraid he could not be as legendary as in the original history.

However, compared to personal gains and losses, Li Zhang valued more the impact of this reform on the Song Dynasty. After all, the changes made in the Qingli New Deal in history were too small. It was only a few reforms to some surfaces and did not solve the fundamental problems. In contrast, Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen had a clearer understanding of the current situation of the Song Dynasty and knew where to start.

Of course, even though the Qingli New Deal only touched the superficial interests of some people, it was still strongly resisted by many people. In the end, it was declared failure after only one year of persistence. Most of those who participated in the new Deal, Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi were demoted, and some people never stepped into the court for their entire lives.

The lessons of the Qingli New Deal also remind Li Zhang that the resistance they encountered in the future may be far beyond their imagination. After all, they are facing a mature and huge empire. If they want to dismantle the old order of this empire, they will almost be enemies of the entire empire. Even with Zhao Zhen's support, this matter is still full of difficulties.

However, no matter how difficult it is, Li Zhang and the others have no chance to retreat. Since they took the first step, they have no way back. And although there are many difficulties, they are not completely confident.

For example, with several great victories in the Song Dynasty, not only did they eliminate external threats, but also made the entire Song army look brand new. Although there are still many problems in the army, the main problems have been solved. Moreover, as martial arts students continue to enter the army, the army is also changing day by day. It can be said that the momentum of the Song Dynasty is now surpassing that of the Song army at the beginning of its founding.

Zhao Zhen even established great prestige in foreign wars. Just by military achievements, Zhao Zhen was no less weak than the Zhao Kuangyin brothers. Because he defeated the Liao Kingdom, his reputation was even higher than that of the Zhao Kuangyin brothers. Whether in the court or the people, almost all regarded Zhao Zhen as the lord of the revival of the Song Dynasty. Some people even compared Zhao Zhen with Liu Xiu, the Emperor Guangwu who established the Eastern Han Dynasty.

It is precisely because Zhao Zhen has such a great reputation and the support of the army that Zhao Zhen dared to make up his mind to eliminate all kinds of domestic ills. What's more, there are now support from ministers such as Fan Zhongyan, Song Qi, Han Qi, etc., so Zhao Zhen and Li Zhang are not fighting alone, but have a strong backing.

Thinking of the above, Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh. Now everything is ready, and Fan Zhongyan's east wind is coming. Maybe when he takes office tomorrow, it will be the day when the Song Dynasty launches this change. Just talking about Fan Zhongyan, Li Zhang has met several times before and has no deep friendship. The main reason is that he has no chance. I don't know where he will start this time when he returns to Beijing.

At this moment, suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside. Then a maid walked in quickly, looked at An Ran who was asleep and then whispered: "Master, there are guests outside!"

"Didn't I say I won't see a foreigner?" Li Zhang said unhappy at the moment. In the end, in order to deal with the people who came to inquire about the news outside, he kept pretending to be sick and always refused to see foreigners. Of course, friends like Han Qi are exceptions, but if these friends come, the maid will definitely report their names directly.

"Your Majesty, the instructor in the front yard also said this to the visitor, but the person who came this time was a stubborn temper and said that he had to see the master. He also reported himself to his house, saying that he was the new minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Master, you must meet him if you listen to his name!" The maid said helplessly at this time.

"Minister of the Ministry of Personnel? Is his name Fan Zhongyan?" Li Zhang also showed a surprised expression when he heard this and asked immediately.

"Yes, it's this Fan Zhongyan!" the maid nodded.

Li Zhang finally couldn't sit still. Just as he wanted to get up, he saw An Ran who was sleeping on his chest. He wanted to reach out and pick up his daughter, but he was afraid that he would wake her up too much, but in the end the maid came forward and gently took An Ran away. Only then did Li Zhang get out and then quickly walked towards the front yard.

Li Zhang was also full of curiosity at this time, because according to his estimate, Fan Zhongyan should take office today, and Zhao Zhen would definitely summon him personally to let him understand his intention to rectify the officialdom. In theory, Fan Zhongyan should go to the Ministry of Personnel now, so why would he suddenly come to him?
