In the Cining Palace, everyone heard Zhao Xu's words.

But, it's quieter!

No one answered, and the atmosphere seemed to be frozen in an instant, with a chill circulating.

Zhou He, the Yellow Gate Ling not far away, looked up at Zhao Xu, his whole body was cold, and his lips trembled.

He turned to the Empress Dowager Gao in panic, bowed his head again, shrunk his shoulders, and couldn't help but shiver several times in a row!

'Then let's go', this sentence is not as simple as holding a court meeting on weekdays, this is a decisive battle!

It is the official family and the empress dowager, the official family and the imperial court, and the decisive battle between the official family and everyone!

If tomorrow's court meeting is approved by Cai Jing as the envoy, then the empress dowager and the ministers of the court will be defeated, and the official family will smoothly govern and take power! On the other hand, the Empress Dowager withdrew the curtain, and the fate of those ministers in the court can be expected!

And if Cai Jing can't serve as the envoy, it will be a big defeat for the official family! The defeat of the official family, breaking with the empress dowager and the princes of the imperial court, can no longer touch power, and even endanger the throne!

Zhou He didn't dare to think about what tomorrow's ending would be, let alone what terrible things would happen in the end!

Su Song listened to Zhao Xu's promise, his brows furrowed, and his heart gradually became heavy.

Sure enough, something went wrong, and it's still a big problem!

There is no one in the official family in the court at all, almost everything is the empress dowager, Lu Dafang is in charge, and everyone else is basically a sound worm. In addition, Cai Jing's reputation is too bad, and tomorrow's court meeting, the official family is already doomed to defeat!

If the official family is defeated, what will happen in the future?

The words 'abolish the emperor and set up another one' appeared in Su Song's mind for the first time, and he immediately shook his head and denied it.

How can there be a reason for a courtier to abolish the monarch?

Su Song frowned solemnly, and looked at Su Zhe beside him.

He finally understood why the Su family brothers were so talented but had no ambition for half their lives, they were so rigid and stubborn, inflexible, short-sighted, and sooner or later they would invite trouble!

Su Zhe didn't know it, Zhao Xu's voice fell, raised his hand, and said to Zhao Xu for the first time: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Zhao Xu snorted coldly in his heart, didn't look at him at all, got up and said to the Empress Dowager Gao: "Grandmother, since you have decided to discuss with the court, then I will retire, and grandmother will rest early." ”

Empress Dowager Gao is already thinking about how to mend the relationship with Zhao Xu after tomorrow, Zhao Xu is the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, unless it really comes to the point of breaking off righteousness, as the empress dowager who listens to the government, as a grandmother, she still has to take care of the feelings of the emperor's grandson.

Even if it's for show.

Empress Dowager Gao smiled and said, "Then come according to the rules, and the official family should also rest." ”

Zhao Xu responded, turned around and left the Cining Palace.

Empress Dowager Gao kept looking at Zhao Xu until he left, and the smile on his face gradually converged, and she looked at the two Su Xianggongs in the palace.

Meng Meiren has been watching coldly, seeing Zhao Xu's situation clearly, she was worried, glanced at the hall, got up quietly and said: "Niangniang, there are still some things on the concubine's side, so retire first." ”

Empress Dowager Gao wanted to 'liquidate' the two Su Xianggong, and for Meng Meiren's eyesight, she nodded slightly and said, "Go ahead." ”

After speaking, she suddenly said: "You are about to stand up, you should get close to the official family and send it to the official family." ”

Meng Meiren was stunned, she was thinking of going to see Zhao Xu, but in an instant she regained her composure and said, "Yes." ”

Empress Dowager Gao looked at her stunned and said encouragingly: "Don't worry, that's what you said, we are a family." ”

Meng Meiren saluted and said respectfully: "Yes, the concubine is retiring." ”

Empress Dowager Gao was very satisfied with this hand-selected granddaughter-in-law, and after seeing her leave, her smile disappeared again, and her eyes stared indifferently at the two people in the hall.

Zhou He held his breath and condensed, lowered his head, and tried his best to hide himself.

For the gaze of the Empress Dowager Gao, Su Zhe had a clear conscience and calmly responded calmly.

However, Su Song couldn't stand it a little, his expression moved, and he sighed softly: "Niangniang, why is it ...... here?"

Empress Dowager Gao decisively stopped Su Song's sensationalism, and said coldly: "I also want to ask, how did you get to this point?" Two ministers, can you explain it to me? ”

Su Song saw that Empress Dowager Gao didn't blame him alone, and his heart was a little relieved, so he continued to exercise the right to silence.

Su Zhe raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Niangniang, where did the recent series of chaos come from?" Then Cai Jing is a traitorous villain, if there is the first one, there must be a second, if the official family goes on like this, won't the mother worry? ”

The 'old party' prides itself on being a gentleman, and classifies the 'new party' of the law-changing faction into the list of 'villains', and Cai Jing's swaying from side to side is even more of a villain among villains!

Empress Dowager Gao listened to Su Zhe's words, and her brows furrowed deeply.

She hadn't thought about it so much before, and she was shocked when she heard Su Zhe's words.

If Zhao Xu was surrounded by villains, what would happen to the Zhao family's society, the court, the Great Song Dynasty, and the Zhao family? The traitor brings disaster to the country, and the traitor is pampered, that is a sign of the death of the country!

Empress Dowager Gao's momentum changed suddenly, her expression was cold, and in a decisive tone, she said loudly: "Cai Jing can't be used as an envoy!" ”

Su Song's old face twitched, knowing that there was no room for recovery in this matter.

He didn't think about what would happen to Zichen Hall tomorrow, but was thinking about how to properly deal with the aftermath of this matter.

The ministers besieged the official family, which is not good to say, not to mention, the official family will always have a day of pro-government.

After such a thing, can you still expect the officials to ignore their past suspicions and get along with the ministers in the future?

Su Song turned countless thoughts in his heart, and finally he was a little envious of Han Zhongyan, although he walked disgracefully, he retreated with his whole body. I am afraid that the outcome of these people may not be so good in the future.

Su Zhe raised his hand with a deep color and said, "Respect Yizhi." ”

Empress Dowager Gao didn't feel that there was anything to worry about tomorrow, so she waved her hand and said, "Go, what to do, the Lu Qing family will tell you." ”

Ersu Qiqi raised his hand and said, "The minister retreats." ”

Su Song, as soon as Su Zhe left, the hall was quiet again, and only the Empress Dowager Gao and Zhou He remained.

After waiting for a long time, Zhou He moved his steps, stood beside the Empress Dowager Gao, and said softly: "Niangniang." ”

Empress Dowager Gao's head hurt a little, sighed lightly, and said, "You say, if I do this, will there be anything to say outside?" ”

Empress Dowager Gao is unreasonable in many things, for example, Zhao Xu is already a pro-government age and does not return to power, such as not letting Zhao Xu touch the government, and for example, tomorrow's court meeting, it is destined to be the Manchu Dynasty civil and military siege of Zhao Xu, her grandmother still has to help the courtiers, and it will not sound good if it is passed out.

Zhou He lowered his head and said, "Niangniang, it's too late to think so much now, the official family still has the forbidden army in their hands." ”

Empress Dowager Gao's sighing expression suddenly closed, and said, "I really want to arrange it." ”

……

Zhao Xu walked out of the Cining Hall and slowly walked towards the Funing Palace.

He naturally knew what his decision would face, and the reason why he had been silent for so long just now was to analyze the difficulties, countermeasures, successes and failures, and pros and cons.

I was thinking about it in a hurry just now, but it was not thoughtful, and Zhao Xu was still thinking carefully at this time.

He doesn't have any power in the outer court, if he really wants to hold a court meeting, he will definitely be one-sided and play tricks, he will not be the opponent of those people.

If you want to win, you have to find a different way!

At the same time, he has to deal with the ending after that, and there are only two endings: the first one, he won a big victory, the Empress Dowager Gao withdrew the curtain, and he was pro-government. Second, he was defeated, imprisoned, the throne was in danger, and life and death were unpredictable.

The original 'reconciliation' has become the current 'decisive battle', which makes Zhao Xu think about something.

The contradiction between him and Empress Dowager Gao, Lu Dafang and others is not in power, but in terms of concept, with his current character and attitude towards government affairs, even if he wants to keep his head down, these people will not allow it.

Unless, he becomes their kind!

While Zhao Xu was pondering, Meng Meiren followed from behind, looked at Zhao Xu's back, chased a few steps, and saluted: "The concubine has seen the official family." ”

Zhao Xu was stunned, turned his head to look, and smiled: "No courtesy." ”

Meng Meiren thanked her, looked at Zhao Xu's expression without a trace, and said, "The official family is thinking of countermeasures?" ”

Zhao Xu was also observing her, and said, "Why did you recommend Cai Jing just now?" It's still on your own, so you're not afraid that your grandmother will be angry? ”

Meng Meiren is not a very beautiful kind, and from the perspective of later generations, she has a mature royal sister face that does not match her age.

She is not restrained, nor is she deliberately respectful and smiling, nor is she the kind of down-and-out generous, just ordinary, she said: "The concubine heard that the Queen Mother has not been in good health recently. ”

Zhao Xu looked at this Meng Meiren, raised his head slightly and examined her face, his eyes were full of unexpected curiosity.

She didn't explain why she dared to recommend Cai Jing, nor was she worried that the Empress Dowager Gao would be angry, but instead said, 'The Empress Dowager has not been in good health recently'.

The Empress Dowager will naturally not be the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager Xiang, Zhao Xu's mother-in-law.

'Did you do it?' ’

Zhao Xu said to himself in his heart, for this person who wanted to kill him and Gao Gongji, Empress Dowager Gao would not be soft.

However, at this time, is there any warning of his meaning?
