Chapter 42: Zhao Xu's flaws

Zhao Xushi Shiran left, but the news of Han Xianggong's incontinence in Zichen Hall was like wings, flying all over the palace, towards the outside of the palace and beyond.

Inside and outside the palace, it is often performed wildly.

Zhao Xu returned to the Funing Palace, changed his clothes and turned to the Kangning Palace.

This grandmother is very methodical, and Zhao Xu can't be careful, so she has to see his little mother with her own eyes to rest assured.

When Zhao Xu arrived at the Kangning Palace, Lu Dafang and Su Zhe also arrived at the Cining Palace.

At this time, Han Zhongyan had already changed his clothes, his expression was sluggish, and he sat down in a daze.

Empress Dowager Gao watched the two of them coming, and said lightly: "Sit down." ”

Lu Dafang raised his hand to salute the Empress Dowager Gao and sat down slowly.

Su Zhe was very restrained, and sat down beside Han Zhongyan with some caution.

Zhou He stood beside the Empress Dowager Gao, expressionless at the moment, but he couldn't hide the horror in his heart.

Empress Dowager Gao looked at the expressions of the three ministers, especially Han Zhongyan, and said, "The mourning family already knows about it. ”

Lu Dafang was indifferent, sitting as if in contemplation.

Han Zhongyan was sluggish, dazed, and didn't seem to wake up in a trance.

Seeing this, Su Zhe took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Niangniang, please also make the decision for Han Shaozhi." ”

Zhongshu Province Pingzhang is the prime minister, and he is called the chief executive; The privy envoy and the third envoy are the deputy ministers, and they are called Shaozhi or Shaozai, which is a relatively serious title.

Empress Dowager Gao looked at him, turned her eyes to Lu Dafang, and said, "Lu Xianggong, what do you think the mourning family should do?" ”

Lu Dafang gently moved his fat body, turned sideways, and said: "Niangniang is the grandmother of the official family, how to teach a lesson is the business of Niangniang." ”

Su Zhe's eyes were a little nervous, and he moved between Lu Dafang and Empress Dowager Gao.

The royal family is not an ordinary family, and every move involves the hearts of the people of the world, so it needs to be cautious. What's more, this official family is a little unusual.

It's only been a few days, and the three envoys in the three phases have been locked up, and the three divisions are almost tried, and now the sharpness has been halved. The privy envoy is incontinent in the Zichen Palace, and he is about to resign and leave Beijing!

Lu Dafang was silent for a while, and said: "The official family is married, and you should live in the Funing Palace, and learn the way of Renzong to govern the country, so as to be the blessing of all the people." ”

Is this to put the official family under house arrest?

Su Zhe frowned calmly, and Han Zhongyan, who was like ashes, was also taken aback, and turned his head to look at Lu Dafang.

It's a bold proposal, but it's not impossible.

Empress Dowager Gao said lightly: "The mourning family can't do it." ”

Lu Dafang looked up at the Empress Dowager Gao, and said in a hoarse and firm voice: "Niangniang, it is a matter of the national society, the ancestors have become a law, please think twice." ”

Empress Dowager Gao wore her hair in a high bun, her expression was rich and noble, and she said in a very calm tone: "The mourning family said it, but the mourning family can't do it." ”

Lu Dafang looked at the Empress Dowager Gao, suddenly bowed his head slightly, and then fell silent.

He knew the meaning of Empress Dowager Gao's words.

It's not that Empress Dowager Gao is hindered by the love of her ancestors and grandchildren or the identity of the official family, but the current official family is no longer the official family of a few days ago. The reason why the official family dared to force Han Zhongyan into such a situation was because he had the confidence - the forbidden army in the palace!

If the official family masters the forbidden army in the palace, it is equivalent to mastering the palace, and if they master the palace, they no longer worry about the empress dowager joining forces with the court to depose him or whatever.

With such confidence, he no longer worries about the Empress Dowager joining forces with the imperial court to suppress them, and even he can use the forbidden army to take them!

Su Zhe, Han Zhongyan is not a fool, he figured it out in an instant, and he was all silent.

The official family, who had been silent for so long, suddenly made a decisive move and got control of the forbidden army. The current official family is no longer something they can arrange at will.

Judging from his methods in the past few days, it is already measured that he did not directly lift the table.

Cining Hall was quiet for a long time, and Su Zhe broke the silence and said, "The official family wants to honor Concubine Zhu as the queen mother......

Empress Dowager Gao looked at Su Zhe abruptly, her eyes were sharp, and she shouted: "No! ”

There are no two days, and there can't be two housemothers in one family!

Empress Dowager Gao would never allow Concubine Zhu to violate the etiquette and respect as the empress dowager, so she severely interrupted Su Zhe's later words.

Su Zhe was interrupted by this, and the words he originally wanted to say were blocked, so he could only be silent.

Empress Dowager Gao's gaze swept on Han Zhongyan's face and said, "The mourning family does not allow Han Xianggong to pay tribute. ”

Han Zhongyan had already said his resignation to the Empress Dowager Gao before, and listening to the words of the Empress Dowager Gao, he just smiled bitterly and said: "The official family has let people surround the Zichen Palace, and the next time the court opens, the minister can only crash to death in the Zichen Palace." ”

Empress Dowager Gao's face was slightly cold, turned to Zhou He, and said coldly: "With the will of the mourning family, you transferred Meng Yuan to lead the troops into the palace, and cleaned the Zichen Palace up and down for the mourning family, who dares to stop it, correct the law on the spot!" ”

Zhou He's heart was shocked, and before he could agree, Empress Dowager Gao said again: "Before this, go to Kangning Palace, call Concubine Zhu to me, kneel in front of my door, when will you know what is wrong and go back!" ”

Su Zhe, Han Zhongyan's face changed color in horror, and he couldn't help but stand up.

Let Meng Yuan lead the troops into the palace, and kneel to punish Concubine Zhu, this is forcing the official family!

Isn't the Empress Dowager afraid that the official family and Meng Yuan will confront each other in front of Xuande Gate again?

If there is really bloodshed, how will they deal with the aftermath and explain to the rest of the world?

Lu Dafang couldn't continue to pretend to be asleep, looked up at the Empress Dowager Gao, and for a while, as if hoarse with a sigh, he said, "Niangniang, the official family is still young." ”

Mrs. Gao showed a cold color behind her, staring at Lu Dafang with eyes like ice.

Su Zhe and Han Zhongyan both looked at Lu Dafang's back, they knew the meaning of Empress Dowager Gao's eyes, and they wanted Lu Dafang to come up with a way to deal with this increasingly disobedient official who had mastered the forbidden army.

Lu Dafang looked at the Empress Dowager Gao's expression, lowered his head for a long time, and finally spoke when everyone was impatient, and said: "The forbidden army is not invulnerable, as long as the official family abides by the etiquette law." As a grandmother, Niangniang is a grandmother, old and young, and her family is peaceful and prosperous. ”

Empress Dowager Gao listened to Lu Dafang's words, her eyes were sharp, and her expression was thoughtful.

Su Zhe and Han Zhongyan were also pondering, savoring Lu Dafang's words.

They all understood what Lu Dafang meant.

What Lu Dafang said is that both grace and power are attached, although the official family has mastered the forbidden army, but the forbidden army can only be in the palace, not to mention eating, drinking and Lazar, the simplest Yulu also has to be approved by the Privy Council, withdrawn, and there is also a series of personnel transfers, pensions, family placements, etc., which one bypasses the Privy Council?

Therefore, if they want to shake the forbidden army in the hands of the officials, they have a way.

But they can't do it, that official is really urgent, what can they do with the forbidden army?

Han Zhongyan's fate is tragic enough.

Therefore, Lu Dafang's meaning is that the official family should 'abide by the ancestral system', and then 'the old and the young', that is, the old are comfortable and the young are attached.

Su Zhe, Han Zhongyan glanced at Lu Dafang, and had to admire the methods of this ruler, he really hit the nail on the head, and he was very clever.

Mrs. Gao was expressionless and thought quietly.

What Lu Dafang said was above board, and the implication was that she wanted her to threaten Zhao Xu with the forbidden army, force Zhao Xu not to move again, abide by the ancestral law, oppose Wang Anshi's changes, follow Renzong, be a generation of virtuous monarchs, and continue the prosperous era of Qingping today.

Lao An Shaohuai!

The old are idle, and the young are attached!

Everyone in the Cining Hall looked at the Empress Dowager Gao, and only the Empress Dowager Gao could do this.

Empress Dowager Gao thought for a while, then suddenly looked at Zhou He and said, "When you go to Kangning Palace, you will say that Han Xianggong has no saints, and he is disrespectful to the decree, and he will return to his hometown." The palace guards are used to a degree, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is responsible for co-ordination. Please rest assured that the official family is preparing for the wedding. ”

Su Zhe and Han Zhongyan listened to Empress Dowager Gao's words, and their hearts were slightly relieved. Empress Dowager Gao didn't come hard, such a subtle point hit the key point of the official family, presumably the official family knows the trade-off.

Lu Dafang lowered his eyes and did not make a sound.

Seeing this, Zhou He responded, turned around and hurriedly went out.

Empress Dowager Gao's expression eased a lot, looked at Sanxiang and said, "In this way, what do you think?" ”

Su Zhe hurriedly raised his hand and said, "It is most appropriate for Niangniang to arrange it like this." ”

Han Zhongyan raised his hand, but there was only a wry smile.

The matter of Zichen Palace, he believes that it has spread all over Kaifeng, and he must have become a joke, even if he hides back in the township, he is ashamed to see people.

How could he have thought that the official family, who was not in their eyes, would actually give him such a heart-wrenching hand!

He has no way out, and he is embarrassed so far!
