Just after noon, Zhao Hao walked out of the Yanwang Mansion in full clothes, ready to enter the palace.

Changshi followed beside him and said in a low voice, "King, the news has spread. ”

Zhao Hao looked in the direction of the palace and sighed lightly: "This stupid, when will I pretend to be." ”

Changshi is also sad and anxious.

Zhao Hao didn't say much, and soon came to the front of the Vertical Arch Palace, and Huang Men, who was on duty, said: "Your Highness, the official family is not here, you can come back another day." ”

Zhao Hao's face was restrained and uneasy, he looked at Huangmen and was stunned, and said, "Is the official family not in the Vertical Arch Palace, or not in the palace?" ”

Huang Men bowed and said, "The villain doesn't know. ”

Zhao Hao looked at him, hesitating and struggling, raised his hand, turned around and walked towards Cining Palace.

He passed by the blue-tiled house, swept his eyes, and walked away quickly.

There was silence in the blue-tiled room, as if he didn't know he had been here.

When Zhao Hao arrived at the Cining Palace, seeing that no one was hindering him, his expression sank slightly, and then he was full of anxiety and ran in quickly.

"Queen Mother, help!"

As soon as Zhao Hao entered the vertical arch hall, he looked at the Empress Dowager Gao in front of him, took a few steps faster, knelt on the ground with a puff, and shouted in a cry.

Zhou He stood beside the Empress Dowager Gao, looked at Zhao Hao, and turned to the Empress Dowager Gao with some uneasiness in his heart.

Mrs. Gao was expressionless behind her, and said lightly: "You don't stay in the palace, what are you doing here with me?" ”

Zhao Hao knelt on the ground and climbed a few steps, crying louder and louder, and said: "The queen mother, the official family, the official family wants the life of the son, force the son to death, the queen mother ......"

Empress Dowager Gao's expression was unmoved, and her eyes were gradually indifferent.

What kind of virtue her son is, she knows very well in her heart. Not to mention when Zhao Xu succeeded to the throne, the previous incident with the Empress Dowager Xiang, what role Zhao Hao played in it, the Empress Dowager Gao was very clear!

But after all, this is her son, the only son.

Zhao Xu arranged Zhao Hao in the position of Dali Siqing, and in the Empress Dowager Gao's mind, Zhao Xu wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, take advantage of the opposition of the courtiers, and publicly execute Zhao Hao, to avoid the notoriety of killing his uncle with his nephew.

was dissatisfied with this son, but Empress Dowager Gao couldn't watch Zhao Xu kill him.

Empress Dowager Gao seemed to be able to see that scene, anger surged in her heart, stared at Zhao Hao, and said coldly: "It's not a good thing you did!" If you hadn't conspired with that slut and killed Gao Gongji, how could the official family hate you? You're doing it to yourself! ”

Zhao Hao knelt on the ground, trembled, and said urgently: "Queen Mother, my son doesn't want to, my son has a handle in her hand." Besides, the son didn't want to force the palace that day, but he was worried about the safety of the queen mother, and the official family might ......"

"Shut up!"

Empress Dowager Gao's face turned pale, and she said, "No matter how the official family is, I am also his grandmother, can he still kill me?" ”

Zhao Hao's head slammed on the ground, his face was full of horror, but his eyes were very calm, and after waiting for a while, he said in a trembling voice: "Queen Mother, the official family, the official family may not dare to do anything to you, but he will kill me, son, please save me......"

Empress Dowager Gao became more and more angry in her heart, and said coldly: "Put away your thoughts, be careful that you are smart and mistaken by your cleverness!" ”

Zhao Hao's eyes flashed, and then he said eagerly: "Queen Mother, my son only wants to live and be a rich and idle prince, I can leave Beijing immediately and never come back......"

Empress Dowager Gao stared at Zhao Hao, although she was angry in her heart, but it was her son in the end, she took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and said, "What do you want me to do?" ”

She is now under house arrest by Zhao Xu in Cining Palace, she has no power, and the courtiers she relied on in the past, Lu Dafang, Fan Chunren and others have been purged by Zhao Xu, and Fan Bailu is in front of her. The only remaining Su Song had already defected, and she had little ability to stop Zhao Xu at all.

Zhao Hao's tone was full of surprise, and he said hurriedly: "Queen Mother, you are the grandmother of the official family, although you were a little harsh in the past, but after all, you are a grandmother, if you speak, the official family will always give you face......

Zhou He listened on the side, quietly glancing at Zhao Hao's vigilant eyes.

Zhao Hao's words gave him a sense of instigation.

Empress Dowager Gao's eyes were indifferent, and the anger in her heart was even more, she stared at Zhao Hao for a while, and said coldly: "Are you really willing to leave Beijing and never come back?" ”

Zhao Hao calmed down and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, my son is willing." ”

Empress Dowager Gao stared at him for a while and said, "Go, you won't be allowed to leave the house in the future, and besides, don't associate with some people!" ”

Zhao Hao hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Yes, my son will close the door when he goes back, and listen to the news of the queen mother." ”

Empress Dowager Gao looked cold, watching Zhao Hao tremble and run out.

Zhou He watched Zhao Hao leave, his expression did not move, and he looked at the Empress Dowager Gao quietly.

Empress Dowager Gao spat lightly and breathed a sigh of relief, her face gradually became indifferent, and she was silent for a while, and said, "Go, call Concubine Zhu to me, please come." ”

Zhou He raised his hand without moving and said, "Yes." ”

……

Zhao Hao walked out of the Cining Hall and walked on the way out of the palace, his expression was cringe, and he was still thinking freely in his heart.

When he walked not far from the vertical arch hall, he suddenly stopped, his eyes were indifferent, and after a moment, he took out a pill from his bosom and stuffed it into his mouth.

He took a deep breath, and the look of annoyance on his face flashed, as if he was cowering on the road just now, and when he met the yellow gate, the palace maids greeted him with a smile.

Just as he was about to pass through the vertical arch hall, he suddenly turned pale, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was foaming at the mouth, and he fell straight down.

"Yan Wang Yan Wang ......"

At the yellow gate around, the palace maids were startled when they saw it, and they ran over one after another.

Zhao Hao fell to the ground, convulsed violently, foaming at the mouth, his face was distorted, but his eyes were very calm.

The nearest Qingwafang knew the fastest, and a scribe said anxiously: "Zhang Xianggong, King Yan suddenly fell ill on the road, foaming at the mouth and convulsing all over his body. ”

Cai Bian listened, put down the pen in his hand, and thought about it.

This is really the time and place for Zhao Hao's illness.

Zhang Dan's face was indifferent, and he said: "Let the imperial doctor take a good look, and then leave the palace after seeing it." ”

The front line is that before the good work, he has been locked up in the palace.

When the scribe heard this, he was stunned and hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

Seeing that the scribe left, Cai Bian said: "He went to Cining Hall before, will the Empress Dowager ......?"

Cai Bian didn't finish his words, but he understood the meaning.

Could it be that Empress Dowager Gao intervened, branching her move?

Zhang Xuanjian's eyebrows were slightly upturned, his eyes were fierce, and he said: "The Empress Dowager has been recuperating for a long time, how can Zhao Hao have anything to do with her, don't think about it." It's almost time, so let's invite those courtiers into the palace. ”

Cai Bian looked at Zhang Dian on the side of his face, obviously saw a fierce color, and was secretly shocked, this Zhang Dian will not make a move on the Empress Dowager Gao, right?

Cai Bian hurriedly suppressed the panic in his heart, shook off this thought, thought about it, and said, "Is it to the political affairs hall or the vertical arch hall?" ”

The corners of Zhang Dan's face were like knives and axes, and he said lightly: "Zichen Palace." ”

Zichen Palace, is the place of court discussion, the most solemn, where the edict is read, will be the most formal, solemn!

Cai Bian thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll let someone know." By the way, there is a bit of a commotion over there in the Imperial History Tower, do you want to play and suppress it? ”

Zhang Dan already had a plan in his heart, and said directly: "Let them jump first." We have a lot to do this year, lay a good foundation, and prepare for next year's reform and reform. Let's go to the Zichen Hall first. ”

Now there is a consensus in the imperial court, that is, there will be no revival of Xining's law this year.

Cai Bian nodded and said, "I'll go and invite Su Xianggong." ”

Zhang Dian picked up Zhao Xu's three edicts, his eyes were calm as usual, and he stepped out of the door.

In the Cining Palace, when Empress Dowager Gao heard that Zhao Hao suddenly fell ill, she angrily threw the teacup on the table and smashed it on the ground.

"Idiot! Idiot! Self-righteous fools! Empress Dowager Gao scolded angrily, her face was full of iron.

Zhou He stood aside and shook his head secretly in his heart. In order to avoid this Dali Temple, this King Yan is really ruthless. Just doing this, it will make the officials more vigilant, and they can hide for a while, but they can't hide for a lifetime.

Empress Dowager Gao vented for a while, thinking about it, whether she could let Zhao Hao go on like this, and said, "Go, take people to Cining Palace." Concubine Zhu...... I'll go there myself! ”

Zhou He was startled and said, "Niangniang, you went over in person?" ”

When did Empress Dowager Gao ever lower her voice so low?

Mrs. Gao was blue in the back, and she was also angry in her heart, what could she do about such a self-righteous son? Watching him die?

Inside the Zichen Palace.

At this time, there were more than 40 people standing in the forest, because of Zhao Xu's restructuring, a large number of officials were disqualified, such as the former three provinces, the three divisions and other high-ranking officials, plus the three yamen were pressed by Zhao Xu, and they were not able to go to the court.

Therefore, the people standing in the Zichen Hall now are basically officials from the Six Ministries and Seven Temples and the Imperial History Tower, most of which are the New Party recommended by Zhang Dian and Cai Bian, and some are personally named by Zhao Xu.

There are also some who are not there, and they are out of Beijing, such as Yang Wei, Xu Jiang, Li Qingchen and others.

A group of people stood, almost all of them knew the purpose of coming here, their expressions were relatively relaxed, and they chatted with each other. They didn't say a word about the things in front of them, and they were all in government affairs.

Not long after, Su Song, Zhang Dian, and Cai Bian came in from outside.

"Su Xianggong."

"Zhang Xianggong."

"Zhang Xianggong."

"Zhang Xianggong."

"Cai Xianggong."

The hall is full of people, all of them say hello.

The three of them were expressionless, walked to the front, and stood with a wat in their arms.

As soon as the three of them stood up, Shen Qi strode in under the escort of the guards.

Shen Qi, as a member of the Zhongshu House, has repeatedly highlighted his position with the restructuring, which can no longer be ignored.

Shen Qi glanced at the people of the Manchu Dynasty, and his heart was dark, this was the first time he had stood in front of him.

"By will!"

Shen Qi calmed down and said loudly.

"Wait for the order!"

Su Song, Zhang Dan, and Cai Bian led the high-ranking officials such as the Six Ministries and the Seven Temples, and raised their hands in unison.

Shen Qi took a holy decree, spread it out, looked down again, and said in a deep voice: "I am a young man...... Traitors are stacked up, evil things are rampant, and they don't want to add crimes, but the heavens are angry and people complain...... Sima Guang, Fan Bailu and others are perverse, and their sins are unforgivable......"

Su Song held the banwat up, even though he had known this will for a long time, he was still depressed and uncomfortable listening to it.

The last one.

Su Song sighed in his heart, and many people came up with the same idea.

Not to mention Sima Guang, who has been dead for many years, as soon as Fan Bailu is gone, the traces of Empress Dowager Gao's curtain listening to politics are basically erased.

After Shen Qi finished reading the first question, he took out the second one.

The ministers were still holding the banwat, and the first one had little to do with them, and it was to deal with Fan Bailu and others.

Shen Qi said loudly again: "I am destined for the horse...... The bad of the dynasty and the rebellion of law and order began with the ministers and flourished in mediocrity...... The ministers did not see it, and it was difficult to escape the blame. Special warning is issued that all the subjects of the Great Song Dynasty must fulfill their duties, uphold integrity, know what to do and what they can't do, manipulate power with violence, and wantonly corrupt the government......"

Many of them were tense and bowed a little more.
