Chapter 43: Who dares to ignore it
Zhou He walked out of the Cining Hall and did not rush to the Kangning Palace.
Because he negotiated with Zhao Xu on the orders of the Empress Dowager Gao, there will be many things that he needs to handle in the process, and the proportions are not easy to grasp.
At this time, Concubine Zhu in the Kangning Hall was very happy, the hall was full of things, and Concubine Zhu was even more excited to take two things and Zhao Xu said: "Come on, come on, the official family looks, these are all the Empress Dowager rewarded me, I said that as long as we serve with our hearts, the Empress Dowager will not treat us badly......"
Zhao Xu smiled with a smile on her face, saying 'yes yes' in her mouth, but sighed lightly in her heart, Xiao Niang is always so kind, everything is good, but she doesn't want to think about it, these are what she deserves.
The thirteenth brother Zhao Ru and the tenth sister Zhao You'e were also very happy, holding some things to show off in front of Zhao Xu.
Maybe it's because Zhao Xu is easy-going, and the sense of alienation before is slowly disappearing.
Concubine Zhu was happy for a while, and hurriedly called someone and ordered: "These, these, send them to Sister Wu's ......."
Hearing this, Zhao Xu drank tea, his eyes moving slightly.
Although Empress Dowager Xiang was taken out of the palace by Zhao Xu, the relationship between Concubine Wuxian and Empress Dowager Xiang was unpredictable, and Empress Dowager Gao did not let her go so easily, and was confined in the corner of the palace, and even Zhao Tong was implicated.
Thinking of the blind man's ninth brother, Zhao Xu still had a good impression, and pondered in his heart that when he stood firm, he had to release Zhao Yan.
At this moment, Chen Pi quietly came in and whispered in Zhao Xu's ear: "Official, the Yellow Gate Order is here, ask to see you outside the door." ”
Zhao Xu held the teacup in both hands and squinted ahead.
Here it comes!
It's just, what mission did this week and come with? Is it repression or thunderous rage?
The Empress Dowager Gao has the means to suppress Zhao Xu, except for the forbidden army in and outside the palace, the Empress Dowager Gao has the final say. As for the wrath of thunder, political means of operation, Zhao Xu is definitely not as good as the Empress Dowager Gao, he can think of many ways, not to mention the Empress Dowager Gao!
However, Zhao Xu also has confidence.
One is from the forbidden army under his control, and the other is his identity - the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!
Everyone ate in one pot, forcing Zhao Xu to be anxious, smashing the bowl and smashing the pot, wantonly making a fuss, Zhao Xu didn't care, how could Empress Dowager Gao, Lu Dafang and others stand it?
Barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes!
Concubine Zhu was originally packing her things, but seeing that Zhao Xu didn't belong after Chen Pi spoke, she walked over and whispered, "What's wrong?" Is the Empress Dowager unhappy? Do you want me to plead guilty? ”
Zhao Xu hurriedly came back to his senses and said with a smile: "What did Xiao Niang say, is there anyone in this world who is more respectful than Xiao Niang?" How could grandmother blame the little lady casually. ”
Concubine Zhu was not less reprimanded and punished by Empress Dowager Gao, but listening to Zhao Xu's words, she became even more worried, and said with a worried face: "What's the matter?" ”
Zhao Xu stood up with a smile and said, "It's nothing, the three prime ministers have entered the palace, and my grandmother asked me to come over and listen." ”
Only then did Concubine Zhu relax, patted her chest, and said, "Then go quickly, remember my words, be respectful to the Empress Dowager, don't talk nonsense, and make her old family unhappy......
Zhao Xu responded, widening her heart, and then walked out of the Kangning Palace.
Zhou He greeted him, bowed down with a smile, and said, "The villain has seen the official family. ”
Zhao Xu looked at him, his eyes flashed with a smile, and he continued to walk forward, and said quietly: "What's wrong?" Han Zhongyan, that old thing, went to sue me? ”
Zhou He followed behind Zhao Xu, secretly organized his language, and said with a cautious smile: "The official family is too worried. Han Xianggong knew that he was confused, confessed his guilt to the Empress Dowager, and wanted to return to his hometown guiltily. ”
Zhao Xu's heart was relieved, so that his grandmother didn't mean to thunder. So, it's a negotiation?
He turned his mind in his heart and said, "Not only Han Zhongyan, but those people in the political affairs hall have to be questioned, and none of them can escape......
Zhou He listened, and immediately answered: "Niangniang also said it, the official family can rest assured." By the way, Niangniang also said that every application of the forbidden army in the palace is saved from the inner servant, and the inner library in the palace is in the hands of the villain. ”
Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows fiercely, secretly impressed.
When it comes to these overt and covert methods, he really can't play with them.
Although he has the military power of the forbidden army, he has no financial power, and the money and food are in the hands of the Empress Dowager Gao and the three ministers of the outer court.
The Privy Council is in charge of the audit, the three divisions are in charge of the money and grain, and the Zhongshu Province is in the middle of the allocation, so to speak, the forbidden army in Zhao Xu's palace is checked and balanced!
Without the support of this money and food, plus some other means, as long as it takes a long time, the control will have to change hands!
At the same time, Zhao Xu also understood that the reason why Empress Dowager Gao and Lu Dafang asked Zhou He to negotiate was not because they were afraid of him, but because Zhao Xu's recent methods were too fast, and he had just mastered the forbidden army, he forced the privy envoy of one of the three phases to be embarrassed and unable to gain a foothold in the imperial court, what else would he do next?
Is this trying to stabilize me for a while? ’
Zhao Xu was secretly awe-inspiring, his movements had to be accelerated, otherwise he might really be set aside, and even die young!
Zhao Xu secretly took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Grandmother is bothered. By the way, last time I wanted to transfer Zhang Shangying and Cai Jing back to Beijing, how was it? Are you back? I didn't give me a reply to what the government hall said. ”
Zhou He was stunned, thinking that Zhao Xu didn't understand his words, but he secretly woke up again, the official family in front of him was not so simple as it seemed, thought about it a little, and said: "The villain doesn't know, I have to go to the political hall to ask." ”
Zhao Xu snorted and said, "I sat for a long time today, and I feel that my body is still not very good, and I have to recuperate again. ”
Zhou He understood and said, "Yes, the villain will go." ”
Chen Pi listened to it without understanding, but he didn't ask too much, watched Zhou He hurriedly leave, and followed Zhao Xu back to Funing Palace.
Zhou He naturally did not go to the political affairs hall, but the Cining Palace.
He didn't look at Lu Dafang and the other three phases, and said to the Empress Dowager Gao: "Niangniang, the official family asked, how is Cai Jing, Zhang Shangying, who he was going to transfer back a few days ago." In addition, the official said that the body is still not very convincing, and it is necessary to rest. ”
Empress Dowager Gao frowned, and Lu Dafang and the three of them had their own expressions.
The meaning of Zhao Xu's words is very simple, these two people will be transferred back, and I will have a good rest and not cause trouble.
An official who controls the forbidden army is already a headache, if he is allowed to contact the officials of the outer court, how can he control it?
Empress Dowager Gao's expression was indifferent, and she looked at the three phases below.
Su Zhe hesitated, but still spoke: "Niangniang, I can't agree to this request." ”
Han Zhongyan was silent, he was no longer qualified to speak.
Lu Dafang met the gaze of the Empress Dowager Gao, and said in a hoarse and low voice: "After today, even if there are no two people, there will be others." ”
Su Zhe, Han Zhongyan's expression was shocked!
This sentence of Jae Zhi is to the point.
Today, the official family resigned from the embarrassment of the privy envoy in the Zichen Palace, and who else in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty can continue to ignore the up-and-coming officials?
There are so many people inside and outside the court, and there are many people who are dissatisfied with them, not to mention that the 'new party' has been ready to move!
