Su Song ignored him, walked straight into the palace gate on crutches.

As if they hadn't seen him, the guards let him in.

The palace of the Great Song Dynasty is not big, or even very small, but I don't know why, Su Song walked for a long time before coming to the vicinity of the political hall.

Many people poked their heads out to look at the old man.

In any case, this is now a well-deserved leader of the 'old party', who is in charge of the dynasty, and now he is leaving, and there are always some different emotions.

In the green tile room, Cai Bian recalled the conversation with Su Song that night and shook his head secretly.

Funing Palace, small partial.

Zhao Xu and Empress Meng sat side by side, and the dishes on the small table were basically the same.

Zhao Xu stared at the small porcelain pot in the middle, his face full of anticipation. The water inside is boiling hot, and there are a few slices of vegetable meat exuding a rich fragrance.

Empress Meng sat on the side, her expression calm.

As the queen elected by the Empress Dowager Gao, her family and body are all branded by the 'old party', and the last boss of the 'old party' is about to leave the court, and her mentality is afraid that she herself can't explain it clearly.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks and tasted a piece, becoming more and more satisfied, and said with a smile: "Yes, the skills of the imperial chef are getting better and better." ”

Empress Meng smiled, reached out to pick up the chopsticks, and added a few more pieces of meat to it.

Zhao Xu chewed, looked outside, and said leisurely: "Su Xianggong should be almost here now, you say, will he like these dishes?" ”

Empress Meng glanced at the messy side dishes on the table, except for a few cold dishes, there were no finished dishes, quietly glanced at Zhao Xu's side face, pursed her lips, and said: "Official, concubine heard that Su Xianggong has no special hobby in terms of food. ”

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't have any, but I always have to try the fresh ones, right?" ”

Listening to Zhao Xu's words, Empress Meng vaguely felt that there was something to be done, and she was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Zhao Xu glanced at the door, and saw that Su Song had not yet appeared, so he picked up the chopsticks and took a bite.

Feeling the smooth fragrance in his mouth, and looking satisfied, Zhao Xu glanced at Empress Meng's lower abdomen, picked up the chopsticks, held them in one hand, put them to her mouth, and said, "Come, you can also take a bite." ”

Empress Meng blinked, this was the first time Zhao Xu had made such an intimate gesture to her, and she opened her mouth slightly.

Zhao Xu put it in, watched her chew, looked at Queen Meng with some expectation, and said, "How is it, isn't it delicious?" ”

Empress Meng smiled lightly and said, "It's delicious." ”

Zhao Xu became more and more happy, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Su Song standing not far away, looking directly at the pair of emperors and queens.

Empress Meng's face was slightly red, and then she pretended to be casual and sorted out the dishes on the table.

Zhao Xu was unaware of it, and greeted with a smile: "Su Qing's family, come quickly, I don't need to report them." ”

Su Song looked at Zhao Xu's hearty smile, his old face moved, he bowed, stepped forward on crutches, and entered the side, just about to salute, Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, sit down and eat." ”

Su Song's mentality was indescribable, and he said, "Xie Guan's family." ”

He stepped forward, put down his crutches, sat opposite Zhao Xu, looked at the table full of scattered side dishes, no big dishes, hard dishes, and sighed in his heart.

'If there is a cause, there is an effect......

As for the reason for this, it is really difficult to say whether the 'old party' abolished the 'new law' or the 'old party' and other parties ignored and oppressed the little emperor.

Zhao Xu didn't care what Su Song's mentality was, he directly added vegetables to the porcelain pot and said, "Su Qing's family, you don't need to be restrained, take chopsticks." I told you that a few of the imperial chefs were invited from outside the palace. The saint is pregnant, so I must pay attention to what I eat, and I am also stained with ......"

Su Song smiled, picked up the chopsticks, tasted it, nodded to Queen Meng, and said, "The heat is appropriate, and the mother is blessed." ”

Empress Meng smiled and said nothing.

Zhao Xu took the bowl, served the rice directly, and then handed it to Su Song, and said, "Su Qing's family, this dish is the best with rice, you can try it." ”

"Xie Guan's family." Su Song hurriedly continued.

Zhao Xu gave another bowl to Queen Meng, and then it was his, he held the bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, and said, "Su Qing's family, let's eat." ”

Su Song kept paying attention to Zhao Xu's expression, using the tone of words, silently distinguishing, and learning from Zhao Xu to pick up the bowl.

Zhao Xu first pinched a few chopsticks for Queen Meng, and then took care of the dishes and grilled the rice.

He was almost hungry for a long time, and his appetite was just right, so he 'ate and drank'.

But it didn't take long for Zhao Xu to choke and beat his chest again and again.

When Empress Meng saw it, she hurriedly served the soup, blew it coldly and handed it to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu took a few sips, felt the food in his throat slowly slide down, and suddenly showed a comfortable expression on his face.

After waiting for a while, Zhao Xu picked up the bowl again, saw that Su Song had been staring at him, moved his chopsticks, and said, "Su Qing's family, eat quickly, otherwise I will eat it up alone." ”

Su Song's tense old face slowly relaxed, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and was habitually silent for a while, and said: "Official, eating is the same as other things, don't be in a hurry, otherwise you will choke." ”

Queen Meng's pretty face tightened, and she got to the point!

She glanced at Zhao Xu quietly and sat still.

Zhao Xu took the chopsticks and grabbed the meat, continued to eat, and then drank another sip of soup, feeling a little bottom in his stomach, and said while eating: "What Su Xianggong said is true." It's easy to choke if you eat too fast, but if you don't eat, you'll starve to death. If you circle yourself here, the chopsticks are so long, only eat these few things, not to mention that the time is extremely boring, and the nutrition is unbalanced, and the body can't stand it......"

Empress Meng listened to their conversation, and wanted to add vegetables to the porcelain pot, but she didn't dare to move at the moment.

Su Song was saying that Zhao Xu was too anxious and would backfire.

Zhao Xu said that the 'old party' was stubborn and stubborn because of choking.

The words of the two are actually quite restrained, if they were Zhang Dian and Su Song, they would have no scruples about the confrontation, but I am afraid that they would have quarreled a long time ago.

Su Song groaned and said, "The official family has a point, but in addition to these two, there is a third way, the official family might as well slow down and ease up." The minister is rotten wood, but the official family is the early sun. ”

Zhao Xu didn't expect Su Song to change his attitude, and he didn't want to convince him of anything, but even if it was the last time the monarch and ministers met, Zhao Xu still gave some patience and said, "My father has reigned for more than 20 years, what is the final result?" After more than 20 years of hard work, once in vain, Sima Guang and others kept saying 'loyal to the monarch and the country', is this word 'loyalty' the father of loyalty? ”

Su Song was silent.

At the beginning of Yuan Youchu, the new law was abolished, and the reason of Sima Guang and others was that the Empress Dowager Gao 'changed the mother to the son', which was reasonable in terms of etiquette and ethics, but it was the Empress Dowager Gao, as far as the courtiers were concerned, it was still 'usurping the first emperor, without a king and without a father'.

After a long time, Su Song sighed lightly and said, "Official, let the old things pass." Next year, the yuan will be changed, and the official family can completely throw away the past and start from scratch. Whether it is the 'new law' or the 'ancestral system', it is a major policy of the country, and the officials still need to think about it in the long term and start from the heart. ”

Hearing the word 'from the heart', Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows and said, "Su Qing's family also thinks that my liquidation of Lu Dafang and others is a fake public and private anger?" Is it out of retaliation for the introduction of such a draconian new law? What if that's what I really think, what if that's what I think? ”
