Empress Meng frowned when she heard the words of the maidservant, and held her lower abdomen with both hands.

Her expression was calm, and she looked down at her lower abdomen, her eyes slowly firming.

"Who is the current Zongzheng?" Empress Meng asked in a calm tone.

The maidservant didn't notice Queen Meng's strange appearance, thought about it, and said, "It seems to be a bachelor of Longtu, Li Hanhe." ”

Zongrenfu's predecessor, Zong Zheng, was killed by Zhao Xu in front of the vertical arch hall last year because he stood out for the 'old party'.

This is also one of the two people Zhao Xu has been killed so far.

Because of Liu Shi'an's special identity, he danced too happily, and Zhao Xu needed to use him to stand up. And the predecessor Zongzheng Li Gongyan was in a special position, and he was killed with a cane, one was to warn the civil and official group of foreign ministers at that time, and the other was to beat the clan.

The heirs of the Great Song Dynasty have never been very prosperous, Emperor Renzong has no children in his life, Emperor Yingzong is the successor, and several sons of Emperor Yingzong, that is, Zhao Xu's uncles have all passed away, Zhao Xu is the sixth, the oldest is only eighteen, and several younger brothers, except for the blind nine Zhao Yan, are all adults.

Therefore, the Zongzheng Mansion is managed by relatively distant clans, and it is about to be out of the five suits.

But the clan is the clan after all, it's the royal family!

Empress Meng walked slowly, her face was a little cold, and said, "If you pass on the words of the palace, Li Hanhe will come to see the palace." In addition, the Ministry of Rites and Rites ordered the Ministry of Rites to formulate a driving ceremony according to the etiquette system and send it to the palace for review. ”

The maid was stunned, this was the first time that Empress Meng had directly contacted the courtiers.

The maidservant glanced around and said in a low voice, "Niangniang, do you really want to do this?" The government hall will be unhappy. ”

Who in the world does not know that Empress Meng was established by the Empress Dowager Gao, and the relationship between the Empress Dowager Gao and Zhao Xu is difficult for outsiders to see, but everyone inside understands it.

In the eyes of many people, 'pro-government' and 'listening to politics' are also 'party struggles'.

It was a decisive battle between the 'new party' represented by Zhao Xu and the 'old party' represented by Empress Dowager Gao, and in the end Empress Dowager Gao was defeated and returned to power.

After the death of the Empress Dowager Gao, the 'old party' withdrew from the court, and the Empress Meng set up by the Empress Dowager Gao was highlighted.

The attempt to set up a new party after the abolition of the 'new party' has not stopped, even if it does not dare to anger Zhao Xu on the surface, there are always people who are secretly ready to move.

Even if the attitude of Zhang Dian, Cai Bian and others is: do not speak, do not express their position, do not support, and do not contact.

This made Empress Meng isolated and in a difficult situation.

Empress Meng naturally knew her own situation, and said in a calm voice: "The official family has won a complete victory, of course the palace must greet it in person, this is the etiquette, and Xianggong Zhang will not say anything." ”

Only then did the maid respond, and quickly went out of the palace gate, summoned the yellow gate, and ordered them to pass the word.

Empress Meng paced, looked at her lower abdomen, smiled on her face, and said secretly in her heart: Hurry up, there is a mother, don't be afraid of anything......

Not long after, Zongzheng Li Hanhe received the message, his brows were tightly locked, and his eyes were solemn.

'The official family is not there, and the queen mother suddenly spoke up, just to welcome her? Li Hanhe hesitated.

He does not belong to the 'old and new' parties, and he is simply promoted from the Hanlin Academy, but he knows that the two parties are now fighting more and more fiercely, and the court is up and down, inside and outside the capital, boundless, and everywhere.

Li Hanhe thought about it again and again, but still sighed, and said to himself: "That's it, the queen has summoned, I can't help but go, let's see what the queen is going to do." ”

The fierce general is the hardcore 'old party', and Empress Meng is set up by the Empress Dowager Gao, there are too many involved here, but Li Hanhe can't help but think too much about a small sect.

Li Qingchen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is very busy now, and his busy feet do not touch the ground.

The Ministry of Rites has merged many yamen, and there are many messy things, and it is necessary to revise the canon, revise the "Records of the Divine Sect", and Xia Liao is going to send an envoy, so he is really busy.

But hearing the queen's edict still made him suspicious.

"Shangshu, what does the queen mean?" In front of him, the head of the Ministry of Rites stood and asked cautiously.

Li Qingchen's locked brows loosened, and he said lightly: "Niangniang's words are in line with etiquette, what's wrong?" ”

The principal laughed with him and didn't dare to talk more.

But who would treat the sudden edict of the fierce queen as just an ordinary thing?

Li Qingchen sat quietly for a while, and said, "Yamen, look at it for a while, I'll go to the Qingwa house." ”

"Oh yes." The Lord hurriedly responded.

When Li Qingchen left the yamen, a group of people greeted him and said enthusiastically: "Li Shangshu, is the official family coming to Beijing at the end of the month?" I've been waiting for a long time, and I'm asking Li Shangshu to let me go together......"

Seven or eight people, each with gray hair, looked at Li Qingchen with a smile.

Li Qingchen swept it at a glance, these people all had false positions and were very prestigious, but the political stance of these people was conservative.

Since the official victory, I don't know how many waves this is.

"When the official family comes back, he will reward the ministers, and it is inevitable for the prime minister to worship the ruler of the world, and some people can't sit still......

Li Qingchen knew this, his face did not move, and said: "Everyone, wait slowly, the official family will not return to Beijing until the end of the month, and please write a few recitals first." ”

The eight people seemed to feel that there was a drama when they heard it, and the leader of them was full of white hair, and said with great joy: "What Li Shangshu said is that the official family is driving the expedition in person, and there has been a great victory since Taizu Taizong. ”

Li Qingchen smiled and strode away.

The eight of them gave up their hands one after another, but they did not stop them.

They are well-educated, and it is already 'disgrace' to come to the door in person, and they will not do the 'splashing and rolling' like young people.

Li Qingchen got into the carriage and rushed to the palace.

Li Qingchen sat in the carriage, his brows gradually wrinkled, thinking back to the recent events, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "The official family hasn't come back yet, and all the demons and monsters have come out......"

After returning to Beijing with a "big victory", it must be a "big reward for the ministers", too many people jumped out, mixed with various purposes, and the seemingly calm situation in Kaifeng Mansion was surging, and the waves were difficult to settle.

Li Qingchen thought for a while and rubbed his eyebrows.

They have to concentrate on the 'new deal' and improve the 'new law', but also deal with the open guns and hidden arrows one after another, and it is really difficult to have any ease.

When Li Qingchen entered the palace and arrived at the blue tile house, he didn't wait to speak, and found that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

Cai Bian cleaned up the official documents on the table and said directly: "I know what you mean, the queen's intention is right, just do what the mother says." Later, you go to Renming Palace, and then go to Qingshou Palace, you don't need me to teach you. ”

Li Qingchen was stunned, pondered carefully for a moment, did not taste any other meaning, and looked at Zhang Dan.

Zhang Duan held the teacup in his hand, his face was as serious as ever, and he was under Li Qingchen's gaze for a while before he said: "Meng Mugu has done a good job recently, transfer to me and give Pei Yin a hand." ”

Cai Bian paused and did not speak.

Li Qingchen was a little puzzled by what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of these two prime ministers, and he thought for a long time in his heart, and said: "Yes, the lower official will go to Renming Hall to see the queen's mother." I don't know, the specific list of the two ministers can be reviewed? ”

Zhang Duan took a sip of tea, picked up the pen, and said, "Not yet, you can ask the queen by the way to see if anyone needs to add anything special." ”

Li Qingchen listened, and looked at Cai Bian again, and Cai Bian got up straight and wanted to leave the green tile house.
