Chapter 211: A Thrilling Night
When Zhao Xu had a headache and several younger brothers were still young, people in Kaifeng City were still panicked.
Wei Wangfu.
Zhao Hao, the king of Wei, died in the third year of Yuanyou, but as the son of Empress Dowager Gao and the half-brother of Emperor Shenzong, the honor of the Wei Wangfu did not decrease, but increased.
Princess Wei has just turned thirty, the eldest son of King Wei died early, and the eldest second son is only ten years old.
However, with the investigation of the recent major cases by the imperial court, the Wei Wangfu is also rumored and cannot be peaceful.
The palace of King Wei was brightly lit, and Princess Wei sat in the living room with a few children in her arms, staring outside.
From time to time, a subordinate ran in from outside, and ran out again after a few words.
The head of the Wei Palace, who was seventy years old and gray-haired, sat down, saw that the sky was dark, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Princess, it seems that we are too worried." The outside matter may have nothing to do with our Wei Wangfu and will not implicate us. ”
Princess Wei kept frowning and said worriedly: "Chen Jungong next door also thought so during the day, and he was still arrested. It was rumored outside, saying that Zhang Xianggong wanted to take revenge, and he was ...... King Wei also ...... Don't talk about this, it's better to be careful. ”
Lao Changshi knew the meaning of Princess Wei's unspoken words, and before the current official family ascended the throne, King Wei was also involved in the turmoil of competing for the throne. Moreover, in the matter of the exile of the 'New Party', it was a contribution, which was also part of the source of honor of the Wei Palace.
Not long after, another subordinate came in and said, "Princess, the people of the Imperial City Division have withdrawn, but the inspection department of Kaifeng Mansion is still surrounding the Chenjun Mansion." ”
The princess hurriedly stretched out her head and said, "Quick, get some money and go and inquire about the news." ”
The subordinate responded, and walked out quickly.
Old Changshi slowly stood up and said, "Princess, I'll go find someone and inquire about the news." ”
I have already inquired if I can inquire, but now it is nothing more than being anxious and helpless, trying my luck.
The princess nodded again and again, hugged the child, and watched the old man leave.
Not long after, another subordinate came to report, his face was full of anxiety and uneasiness, and said: "Princess, it's not good, Qi Shangshu was also taken away by the people of the Imperial City Division." ”
The princess's expression changed sharply and said; "Did you raid the house?"
The subordinate was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I don't know for the time being, I only took Qi Shangshu away." ”
"Then you don't want to keep an eye on it!" The princess said hurriedly.
"Yes!" The subordinate hurriedly turned around and ran out quickly.
At this time, an old lady in her fifties walked out surrounded by a group of maids, her face was gentle, but her eyes were dissatisfied, and said, "How big a thing, do you need to be so alarmed?" ”
The princess looked at the old lady, walked over, helped her and said, "Mother, why did you come out?" ”
The old lady looked outside and said, "You are like this, how can I sleep?" You were originally distracted, but this is good, but seeing that you are scared, can the old woman still be able to sleep? ”
The princess pursed her lips and said, "It's because the daughter is not good, and the mother is worried." ”
The old lady looked at her, patted her hand, and said, "Don't worry so much, it's been four or five years since King Wei passed away, and the Wei Palace's mansion is not involved in court politics, even if Zhang Xianggong has grievances, he can't spread it on your orphans and widows." Besides, isn't there still the Empress Dowager, the official family? ”
The princess suddenly became anxious and said, "My daughter heard that the empress dowager has been placed under house arrest by the official family, and the official family has always acquiesced to the arrest of Prime Minister Zhang?" ”
The old lady laughed and said, "Okay, don't worry so much. Tomorrow, I will accompany you into the palace, go to see Concubine Zhu, and bring all the children of King Wei. ”
The princess was uneasy and whispered, "Mother, is there any way?" ”
The old lady looked outside, looked calm, and said: "Back then, I also hugged the official family, and at that time, Concubine Zhu had a bad life in the palace, and it was very difficult. I sent a lot of things in, and Concubine Zhu also replied to me. This time, we're going to visit relatives. ”
The princess understood, and whispered more and more: "Concubine Niangniang...... Can you hold down Zhang Xianggong? I heard that Zhang Xianggong had a hot temper and dared to kill people in the street. ”
The old lady glanced at her and said, "You, that is, the King of Wei...... That's it, to tell you the truth, Concubine Zhu doesn't need to press that Xianggong, as long as Concubine Zhu says something in front of the official, your Wei Wangfu will be fine. ”
Although Princess Wei is the closest princess in today's clan, King Wei passed away early, and the Wei palace has been far away from the imperial court since then, and there is really not much understanding of the palace.
In the past, the Empress Dowager listened to the government, even if Concubine Zhu was Zhao Xu's biological mother, no one looked at her twice, it was simply transparent.
Princess Wei didn't understand, but she trusted her mother very much, and she didn't say anything more when she heard this, and she was a little relieved.
Even the Wei Wangfu is so frightened and sleepless, other places can be imagined.
At this time, the Imperial City Division, the Imperial Historical Observatory, and the Criminal Department were interrogating overnight, and the signs of the punishment were getting heavier and heavier, and the number of arrests was also expanding rapidly.
Prime Minister Su Song's mansion.
Su Song's study was lit with a lamp, he was writing a recital, but he had already written four or five pieces, he was still frowning, holding the pen, staring at the blank recital in front of him.
"My lord, it's getting late." At this time, a woman in her fifties walked in, looked at him and said.
Su Song shook his head and said, "Zhang Dan, this tiger has begun to eat people, and the only one who can tie him up is the official family, and he must be stopped." This is a ...... Be sure to write it well. ”
For a person like Su Song who has been up and down in the sea for nearly 50 years, it is not too simple to write a notebook, but now he can't write it.
Mrs. Su looked at it, walked over, and said with some puzzlement: "Since the official family can manage it, what else do you care?" Didn't you say that you would return to your hometown next year? ”
Su Song looked at the blank notebook, sighed, put down the pen, and said, "If I could say go, I would have left a long time ago." I'm worried now that if this continues, sooner or later the officials won't be able to restrain him. ”
Zhang Dian is now not only the de facto prime minister, but the vast majority of people in the court are 'new parties', and almost all of them were recruited back to the capital by Zhang Tun.
If the new law is revived next year, then it will inevitably be the 'new party', and eighty or ninety percent of the government and the opposition will be the 'new party', and only the leaders inside and outside Beijing will be the leader, and who will be able to stop such a powerful force?
Mrs. Su didn't know much about this, so she still said: "Okay, you can't write anymore, let's talk about it tomorrow, I can't say it, that chapter will embarrass you." ”
Su Song thought about it, and could only sigh and get up.
Early the next morning.
In the Funing Palace, Zhao Xu bowed as usual, this time, the number of people expanded a lot, Zhao Ji, Zhao seemed to be there, Zhao You'e ran over, and at Zhao Xu's invitation, he twisted a few times, and also buckled his trouser legs to play.
A few little guys played very lively, and in the end, Zhao Xu and the guards became accompaniments.
Zhao Xu mainly exercised, alternating between hot and cold in winter, Zhao Xu quickly held down a few of them and pulled them to the side to eat.
Zhao Ji complained dissatisfiedly, and said: "I just played, official, I've eaten, I'll play for a while......"
Zhao Xu stretched out his hand, grabbed Zhao Ji, who was about to turn his head and run, Zhao Ru, and then looked at Zhao You'e, who was about to move, snorted, and said, "Treat me honestly, if you are sick, the little lady will not spare me." ”
The three little guys were helpless, even if they had eaten, they still accompanied Zhao Xu to eat a little again.
Zhao Xu looked at the three little guys with weak energy, and was still thinking about Dali Siqing.
Zhao Ji definitely can't go, this little bastard goes, and I don't know what kind of trouble will happen in the future. Zhao seems to be even worse, Zhao Xu has a training direction for him, not in Dali Temple.
At this moment, a palace maid from the Qingshou Palace came over, and after saluting, she said softly: "Official, there are guests from the Qingshou Palace, and the lady invites you and your highnesses to come over." ”
Zhao Xu was stunned and looked at the tangerine peel outside the door.
Chen Pi hurriedly came in, and was about to open his mouth, but Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "If you can let the little lady see it, it is estimated that you can't get rid of it, let's go, go and meet it." ”
The three little guys still wanted to bow, but when they heard this, they could only follow Zhao Xu to the Qingshou Palace.
