In the Cining Palace, Zhao Xu didn't speak, Lu Dafang, Su Song didn't say anything, and Zhou He didn't dare to breathe.

It's quiet, not a sound.

Not long after, Chen Pi came with Ma Yan, Huang Shan, and Zhang Heng, the deputy commander of the front division of the palace.

Ma Yan and the three of them observed the strange atmosphere in the hall, and raised their hands uneasily to salute: "The ministers have seen the official family. ”

Zhao Xu's gaze fell on Zhang Heng and said, "You want to break into the palace?" ”

Zhang Heng was still wearing armor, his expression was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "Weichen doesn't dare, but he is worried about the safety of the official family and wants to enter the palace to explore." ”

Zhao Xu reached out and took the teacup that Chen Pi had received, gently flicked it a few times, blew a few more sips, and said casually: "Just exploring?" ”

Zhang Heng's scalp was numb, and seeing that Empress Dowager Gao was sleepy, he became more and more cautious, and said, "It's just exploring." ”

Zhao Xu took a sip of tea and didn't rush to speak.

Lu Dafang seemed to be asleep, silent.

Su Song lowered his head with a thoughtful expression.

Zhou He shrank his head, he knew that Zhao Xu wanted to take the opportunity to seize the power of the front division of the palace to control the entire Kaifeng City, but there was no way.

He is just a Huangmen order, not to mention Zhao Xu, even Lu Dafang, Su Song can catch him a lesson and scold, under the empress dowager Gao's sleep, he has no status at all!

Ma Yan and Huang Yan quietly glanced at each other, their expressions dark.

Zhang Heng was even more nervous, it was he who led people to surround Zhao Xu's forbidden army, and at this time Zhao Xu wanted to settle accounts after the autumn, and he didn't even have a person to plead!

Zhao Xu took a sip and said lightly: "I promoted Chu Yu to serve as the commander of the front division of the palace, do you have any opinions?" ”

Zhang Heng immediately said: "The minister will obey the will and wait for the dispatch." ”

Does he dare to say that he disagrees? Zaizhi, the prime minister is silent, if he opposes it, I'm afraid he won't be able to leave the palace today.

Zhao Xu looked up at him, and Zhang Heng immediately bowed his head and made a respectful gesture.

Zhao Xu took another sip of tea and said, "Yushitai, what did you find out?" ”

Ma Yan didn't know the situation at all now, and he didn't know what happened to Su Zhe, thinking that Zai Fu and Shu Xiang were there, and Ji Xiang should be fine, so he raised his hand and said: "Go back to the official's house, roughly correct, and only find that there are tens of thousands of matches at present." ”

The Great Song Dynasty paid tens of millions of taxes every year, even if it was 75 million last year, which was only tens of thousands, and it was not even a fire consumption.

Zhao Xu snorted, looked at Huang Shan, and said, "Criminal Department, is this the case too?" ”

Huang Yan has always been timid, Yu Guang glanced at Lu Dafang and Su Song, and saw that they had not spoken, so he felt bad in his heart, and hesitated: "When I go back to the official's house, I can't find it out for a while, and it's still difficult to make a conclusion." ”

This Huang Zhan knows better how to protect himself.

Zhao Xu looked at the two quietly, lifted the tea lid, and gestured to Chen Pi.

Chen Pi stepped forward and handed the two paper bags to Ma Yan and Huang Shan, and said, "Two, take a look." ”

Huang Zhen felt more and more bad in his heart, and took it cautiously.

Just a quick sweep, his face changed greatly, and his eyes flashed sharply with his head down.

Ma Yan was even more so, he couldn't help but look directly at Lu Dafang and Su Song, as if he was about to open his mouth to ask, but he swallowed it back to his mouth.

Zhao Xu fiddled with the tea, didn't look at the two, and said, "I now condemn you to the crime of dereliction of duty and mediocrity, and take your post and go to prison, do you think you are wronged?" ”

Su Song raised his eyes to look at Zhao Xu, and then glanced at Lu Dafang.

Lu Dafang just frowned, and there was no unnecessary reaction.

Ma Yan and Huang Yan shook their bodies when they heard this, glanced at each other, and knelt down in unison and said, "The minister is incompetent, please forgive your majesty." ”

Zhao Xu saw that Lu Dafang and Su Song were silent, sat up straight and looked at Ma Yan and Huang Shan, and said, "The Empress Dowager is a little sick, I will not deal with you first, and I will stay in office to be punished." Go, send the people out there. If any rumors reach my ears, you two are going to spend the rest of your life in prison. ”

Ma Yan and Huang Yan hurriedly raised their hands and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

The two looked at each other again, and they could see the panic in each other's eyes, and slowly retreated and left the Cining Palace.

Zhao Xu looked at the backs of the two, estimating in his heart that they should be obedient, and then looked at Chu You, and said: "You take Zhang Heng to take over the front division of the palace, all the garrisons and forbidden troops in Tokyo City, and immediately start to rectify, be quick!" Zhang heng! ”

Zhang Heng hesitated for a moment and said, "The minister understands." ”

After speaking, he still couldn't help but look at Lu Dafang and Su Song.

Seeing that the two of them were still indifferent and did not say anything against it, they completely let go of their hearts and were ready to cooperate with Chu You.

Chu Yu responded with a deep face and strode away.

As soon as they left, there was one more tangerine peel in the hall than just now.

Zhao Xu rubbed the teacup and considered it in his heart.

The Song Dynasty didn't seem to care so much about the Imperial City Division, and it was far less prestigious than the Jinyiwei and Dongchang of the Ming Dynasty in later generations.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Xu looked at it and said with a flat face: "Chen Pi, you and Liu Heng, take the forbidden army in the palace to the Imperial City Division, don't stay if you are disobedient, if someone really resists the decree and disrespects, they will all be killed!" ”

Chen Pi's heart was dark, and he said solemnly: "The villain leads the order!" ”

Su Song saw that Chen Pi was gone, and sighed lightly in his heart.

After today, even if the Empress Dowager wakes up, the situation is very different.

He then remembered the matter between Yingzong and the Empress Dowager Cao, and pondered in his heart, I don't know if the Empress Dowager has the same mind as the Empress Dowager Cao, and she is willing to put down her power and withdraw the curtain and return to power.

Lu Dafang was still indifferent, standing there silent, lowering his eyes, as if he was asleep.

Zhou He lowered his head, and his scalp was numb. He knows the Empress Dowager Gao better than Su Song, if the Empress Dowager Gao wakes up, I'm afraid there will be a dragon fight!

Zhao Xu arranged it step by step, how could he let go of such a God-given opportunity!?

He didn't just simply seize some power, to this extent, he couldn't continue to spend it with Empress Dowager Gao!

But how do you get her to remove the curtains?

Want the Empress Dowager Gao to take the initiative to give up power, unless she has no power in her hands! There is no other way.

Zhao Xu silently deduced in his heart that the three most important political allies of Empress Dowager Gao, Su Zhe, had been taken down by him and completely collapsed. Su Song has an ambiguous attitude, and he should not firmly stand on the side of the Empress Dowager Gao.

Then the rest is the most important one - Zai Zhi Lu Dafang!

Zhao Xu looked up at Lu Dafang, his eyes were gloomy, his mind was flying, and he subconsciously picked up the teacup in his hand and sent it to his mouth.

Lu Dafang slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Zhao Xu, his eyes were swollen, and he couldn't see the bottom of the depth, and then continued to hang his eyes.

Seeing this, Su Song wanted to open his mouth to ease his mouth and stop some things that might happen after the Empress Dowager Gao woke up, but before he could speak, a guard hurriedly ran in

Zhao Xu saw that it was Qin Lu, and asked with a dew of eyes.

Qin Lu came to Zhao Xu's ear and said in a low voice: "Official, there is some change on the side of the front division of the palace, and Zhang Heng can't hold it down. In addition, some civil officials did not listen to Huang Shangshu and Ma Zhongcheng, and refused to disperse because of the trouble. Many people are still gathering to break into the palace. ”

Zhao Xu looked thoughtful, Ma Yan, Huang Shan's status is a little low, he can't convince people, he can't suppress people.

If you want to suppress these people, Zhao Xu is not enough, and you have to be public.

Zhao Xu looked at Lu Dafang and Su Song, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stood up and said, "Two ministers, come with me, it's not a matter to make trouble like this." ”

Su Song nodded, and was about to turn around immediately, seeing that Lu Dafang couldn't move, Zhao Xu had already walked out, so he had to say loudly: "Zaifu, let the Empress Dowager rest in peace, let's take care of the outside." ”

Lu Dafang turned his head to look at Zhao Xu, he didn't want to move, at this time, any movement was inappropriate. He was about to refuse, but when he saw that Zhao Xu was about to go out, he suddenly said loudly: "Go to the minister, please stay at the official house." ”

How could Zhao Xu listen to him, strode out of the door, and his voice echoed: "Hurry up, if something happens again, I won't be soft." ”

Su Song watched the movements of the two of them, and immediately reacted, this is a great opportunity for Zhao Xu to stand up to the court!

The corners of his mouth twitched, this official really knows how to get stitches and needles, and he doesn't miss any opportunity.

It's just that at this time, they still have to cooperate, the official family can't hold it down alone, and if something happens, not only do they have to deal with the aftermath, but the board also has to hit them!
