Xiao You'e didn't go to inform Zhao Ji, and not long after, he and Zhao Yi walked in cautiously with a big bowl of ginseng soup.

Xiao You'e put the bowl on the table, pinched her ears with red hands, and said to Zhao Xu with a smile: "Official, this is the soup I boiled for you, and I boiled it with my own hands." ”

Zhao Xu has never been very close to his two younger siblings, and now looking at the actions of the two little guys, his heart is suddenly a little extremely excited, and there is an indescribable emotion surging.

A smile appeared on Zhao Xu's face, brought the ginseng soup to him, opened the lid and took a look, carefully took the spoon and tasted it, and immediately looked at Xiao You'e with a happy face and said, "It's delicious, it's worthy of my sister's craftsmanship." ”

Xiao You'e's little face is blooming, and the pink carving is very cute.

Zhao Xu tasted a few sips, glanced at Queen Meng, who had been watching, covered the bowl with one hand, and said, "This is my sister who made it for me, don't you want to drink it." ”

Empress Meng pursed her lips, and immediately accompanied Zhao Xu and said, "Yes, the concubines don't drink." ”

Zhao seemed to be a little anxious, he didn't have any skills, and he didn't know what to give to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu took a few sips of soup and said, "You two are very well-behaved, tell me what you want." ”

The two little guys shook their heads almost in unison, and Xiao You'e said crisply: "The official's birthday is coming, and we are celebrating the official family in advance." ”

Zhao Xu was stunned, he had been busy with government affairs, and he forgot his birthday.

Empress Meng looked at Zhao Xu's expression and said sideways: "Official, the fourth day of the next month is the official's birthday, and the palace is already ready to celebrate." ”

Zhao Xu looked at the two little guys in front of him, nodded secretly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your birthday won't be a big deal, you go back and tell Xiaoniang that your birthday will be in the Qingshou Palace, and you won't go anywhere." ”

"Really?" The two little ones were overjoyed.

Zhao You'e has been separated from Zhao Xu since she was a child, especially after Zhao Xu ascended the throne, she almost never saw her.

Whether it was Concubine Zhu's instructions or their hearts, they all wanted to be close to their half-brother and half-mother.

Zhao Xu looked at the two of them and nodded with a smile.

"I'm going to tell my mother." Zhao You'e cheered, turned around and ran out.

Zhao seemed to be about to leave, and Zhao Xu said: "Zhao Qi, you have been working very hard recently, and those teachings have praised you, not bad." A military academy was formed outside, and I signed you up, the first batch of cadets. ”

Zhao seemed to be surprised and then delighted, and said, "Then, can you ride a horse by yourself?" ”

Zhao Xu said: "As long as you listen to the teachings, you can do it." By the way, you go and tell Zhao Ji that he is going to the Political Affairs Academy too. ”

Zhao seems to have always wanted to be able to ride a horse freely, instead of being guarded by guards in the palace.

He raised his head solemnly and said, "Yes!" ”

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Go ahead." ”

Zhao seemed to respond, and quickly turned around and left.

Zhao Xu glanced at his back, picked up the ginseng soup with a smile, and just took a sip, when he suddenly coughed violently, and the bowl in his hand was unstable.

Empress Meng's face was shocked, and she hurriedly patted Zhao Xu's back and said urgently: "Official, are you okay?" Do you want to declare the Imperial Doctor? ”

Zhao Xu coughed a few times repeatedly, pressed down with a red face, picked up the ginseng soup and took a sip, and said, "No, it's just that my throat is a little itchy." ”

Empress Meng stroked Zhao Xu's back and said softly: "Official, now that the hot and cold are repeated, you still have to pay attention to your body." ”

Zhao Xu breathed a few breaths, sat up straight, glanced at her, and said, "That's right, there are a lot of important things to do now, and they are imminent." ”

Empress Meng looked at Zhao Xu's somewhat emaciated side face, didn't notice any difference in his expression, and said, "Official, no matter how big the matter is, there is no physical ...... important."

Before she finished speaking, Zhao Xu suddenly looked at her and said, "The first thing is that I should have a son-in-law." ”

Empress Meng was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face was slightly red, and before she could say anything, Zhao Xu had already picked her up by the waist.

Empress Meng snorted and hurriedly said: "Official, the harem still has to be wet with rain and dew, and the ministers have been ...... continuously."

Whining~

……

In Zhao Xu's two-person movement, the sky gradually brightened.

The palace was quietly arranged, the guards were the first layer, the supervision of the imperial history was the second layer, and the defense in front of the Zichen Palace was even stricter.

Chen Pi, Tong Guan shuttles back and forth in the palace, today's court meeting is extremely important, and there can be no mistakes at all!

The Cining Hall was very quiet, and there was no sound.

The lights in the government hall never went off, and Su Song put on his official uniform and came to the door.

Zhang Dian and Cai Bian were also dressed neatly, holding their hands, standing behind Su Song.

The same is true of the Privy Council, with Zhang Kai taking the lead, followed by other officials.

Outside the palace, officials at all levels, mainly from the six ministries and three temples, also stood in the courtyard one after another, lined up neatly, waiting for the bells in the palace.

Lin Xi, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Liang Tao, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, General Xu of the Ministry of War, Yang Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Cai Jing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Li Qingchen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, are almost all solemn and solemn, and there is silence in every yamen.

No one said much, and at a time like this, who would dare to say anything easily?

Knock knock

The bell in the palace rang extremely punctually, and officials from all over the country set out in unison.

Kaifeng City seemed to feel it, quietly, watching, watching these big men go out of the various yamen and rush to the palace.

Zhao Xu, who didn't sleep long at all, was noisy.

Some of them were coughing while getting dressed.

Empress Meng was a little worried, and she had already ordered the imperial doctor to call for the pulse.

Zhao Xu got dressed, washed up, and said, "There's nothing wrong with a cold or flu, you go and sleep for a while." ”

Empress Meng is now walking on thin ice, it is a matter of the emperor's dragon body, how dare she be careless, and accompany Zhao Xu every step of the way.

Soon, the imperial doctor came to call the pulse, and there was indeed no major problem, and Queen Meng went to decoction in person.

Zhao Xu sat in the middle of nowhere, eating breakfast, listening to Chen Pi's reports on various things.

Zhao Xu waved his hand casually after hearing a few words, forced a cough, and said, "Got it, let's follow the plan." ”

Today's court meeting is very important to the government and the opposition, and to the Great Song Dynasty, which is 'alternating old and young', and also 'metabolism of the old and the new', indicating that the Yuan You Dynasty, from today onwards, the national politics will turn and change the law again!

This is a huge turn, which has a decisive impact on the fate of the Great Song Dynasty and the officials of the government and the opposition!

Whether it is for or against, they are staring at the palace at the moment, even if they know that the result is already doomed, but they are still complicated in their hearts and full of emotion.

The bells rang one after another, and when they were getting closer and closer, the courtiers outside the palace began to enter the palace, and after the inspection of the guards and the supervision of the imperial history, they came to the outside of the Zichen Palace, lined up, and waited for the guidance of the inner supervisor.

At this time, Zhao Xu drank the medicine and came to the apse behind the Zichen Palace.

This time, no one else was accompanied.

The last time Zhao Xu appeared here, it was to force the Empress Dowager Gao to withdraw the curtain and return to power, and Zhao Xu still remembers it vividly after half a year.

Zhao Xu held the teacup and sat quietly, and he could hear the footsteps of the courtiers entering the court in the Zichen Hall not far away.

"Ahem, cough, cough"

Zhao Xu coughed a few more times, frowned, tried it with his hand, and his forehead was a little hot.

Zhao Xu picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, pressed it, looked at Chen Pi and said, "Qingtianwei is low-key, but he can't help but do things, and let Nan Tianyou regularly report on the situation in Kaifeng Mansion and other places." ”

"Yes." Chen Pi responded, looked at Zhao Xu's somewhat pale face, and said in a low voice: "Official, do you want to rest again?" ”

Zhao Xu glanced at him and said, "The matter of the cold is not allowed to be leaked to the outside world." ”

If the outside knew that Zhao Xu had caught a cold because of the bed, I am afraid that there would be a lot of trouble. Zhao Xu was not afraid of the incident, mainly because of embarrassment.

Knock knock

The bell in the palace rang again, this is the bell of the hour, it is the bell of the opening of the dynasty.

Zhao Xu coughed heavily, tidied up his clothes, walked out of the apse, and walked towards the Zichen Palace.

In the main hall, it is divided into two rows, Su Song, Zhang Dian leads the officials, households, workers and so on one row, and on the other side is Zhang Qi, Cai Bian and others lead the other three departments.

The Zichen Hall was originally not big, and there were more than sixty people standing in one breath, which seemed particularly crowded.

Everyone hugged the banwat with awe-inspiring faces, staring at the side door that Zhao Xu was about to come out of.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

Chen Pi was the first to come in, glanced at the ministers, and shouted loudly.

Zhao Xu then stepped forward and walked straight to his chair.

Su Song and Zhang Qi took the lead in raising their hands and said loudly: "The ministers see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!" ”

The Qunchen Mountain was shouting a tsunami, and the Zichen Hall was faintly trembling.

Zhao Xu sat on the chair, his eyes swept over the ministers, and his heart suddenly surged with pride, as if this should be the emperor.

"All the ministers are flat!"

Zhao Xu waved his hand and said in a deep voice.
