Concubine Zhu hadn't seen Zhao Xu for too long, she held his hand, barely stopped, and almost asked him about his eating, drinking, and Lazar, and kept instructing.

Zhao Xu smiled, avoiding the important and trivial, and occasionally making a joke to make Concubine Zhu laugh.

The mother and son didn't know how long they had been talking, but suddenly Concubine Zhu was shocked, pulled up Zhao Xu in a panic, and said in a loud voice: "It's about to dawn, you go back, wash up and go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye, remember my words, you must be respectful, don't make her angry, you don't have to worry about me here, just have food and clothing......"

Zhao Xu wanted to talk to his mother more, looked at her uneasy look, took a deep breath, and said, "Yes, I remember." The little lady is tired all night, rest early, and later, I will prepare a surprise for the little lady. ”

Concubine Zhu didn't seem to hear it, and pushed him and said, "Don't always think about me, think more about the Queen Mother." Be respectful in the palace, don't talk when you go to court, and listen to the ...... of the Queen Mother."

Zhao Xu smiled reluctantly, feeling even more uncomfortable, and said, "Well, I've written it down." Little lady, stay and rest early. ”

Concubine Zhu said: "Okay, remember my words......"

Concubine Zhu said this, still grabbed Zhao Xu's arm and sent him outside the Di'an Gate.

Zhao Xu didn't want her to worry too much, so he said something to reassure her, and then left the Kangning Palace.

Chen Pi and Chu You both followed behind Zhao Xu, and when they saw him out of the Kangning Palace, they were not in a good mood, and they glanced at each other, but they didn't dare to persuade him.

Concubine Zhu's situation has not been a day or two, she is from a low background, there is the Empress Xiang of Shenzong, and the Empress Dowager who listens to the government, where is her place.

After walking for a while, Chen Pi still spoke, and said in a low voice: "Official, Su Zhe was released last night. ”

Zhao Xu cleaned up his suppressed emotions and said, "Got it." ”

Su Zhe is the envoy of the three ministers, one of the three phases, and his status is respected, even the Empress Dowager Gao has to rely on a few points, where is Zhao Xu, the empty emperor, who can ask for the crime with a word, and the three divisions will be tried.

Chen Pi saw that Zhao Xu's mood was still not very good, but he was afraid of making a mistake, so he said: "There is no movement in the political affairs hall, and it may not work for the official family to recall Zeng Bu and Cai Jing back to Beijing." Su Shi and Zhang Shangying's promotion was also silent. ”

Zhao Xu hummed again casually and continued to walk towards the Funing Palace.

Chen Pi looked at Zhao Xu's back, couldn't guess his thoughts, and glanced at Chu You.

Chu You guessed that Chen Pi wanted to distract the depressed mood of the official family, and said loudly: "The official family, the ban army in the palace has basically been purged, and I have also released those people originally, but the empress dowager has not reacted yet." ”

Zhao Xu was entangled by these questions, and he could only divide his energy, and said: "I wanted to ask Su Zhe at that time, but I just suppressed Lu Dafang and the others, so as not to let them move and affect the situation." Su Zhe is one of the three phases in the end, there is no conclusive charge, and my words can't be tried by the three divisions. As for pointing out the names of Zeng Bu, Cai Jing, Su Shi and others, it is also a temptation. Zeng Bu is Wang Anshi's right-hand man, and his grandmother is the most opposed to changing the law, as long as his grandmother is in one day, Zeng Bu will not want to come back......"

Chen Pi blinked, he didn't expect there to be so many things inside, pondered for a moment, and suddenly grabbed a question, and said: "The official family said that it is impossible for Zeng Bu to come back, so what about Cai Jing?" ”

Zhao Xu thought of one of the famous 'Six Thieves' in history, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Cai Jing, it's up to him." ”

Cai Jing is not simple, he was the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion at the beginning of Zhao Xu's ascension to the throne, and he was already prominent. The reason why he was demoted out of Beijing was that he was a snake and a mouse at both ends, swinging between the new party and the old party, and he was very active in promoting the reform of the law when he was Shenzong, and at the beginning of Yuan You, Cai Jing fell to Sima Guang, but Sima Guang died quickly, and Cai Jing was attacked by the old and new parties, and was finally sent out of Beijing.

It's been six or seven years now.

Zhao Xu looked at the south outside the palace gate, and said to himself: 'Cai Jing, how would you react? ’

Zhao Xu really wanted to see with his own eyes, Cai Jing's expression when he learned that the emperor was going to recall him, but he was stopped in the political hall, would it ...... Angry trying to come back?

Chen Pi and Chu You glanced at each other, a little bit didn't quite understand what Zhao Xu meant, and seeing that Zhao Xu didn't continue to be immersed in a depressed mood, he didn't say anything more.

Zhao Xu was interrupted by Chen Pi and Chu You, but his mood turned a little back, thinking about the things in front of him, and said: "Grandmother's side will definitely have some reactions, big or small, let's respond to all changes with the same first, and do a good job in our hands." Chen Pi, you seize the opportunity to spread eyeliner in the palace. Chu You, if you want to continue to consolidate your control over the forbidden army, you must be cautious and not capsize in the gutter. ”

Empress Dowager Gao has been in power for seven or eight years, and her influence in the palace is particularly profound, even if Zhao Xu controls the forbidden army, the big and small things in this palace are still the final say of Empress Dowager Gao!

Chen Pi and Chu You hurriedly raised their hands and responded solemnly.

Walking to the front of the Funing Palace, Zhao Xu looked at the sky and said, "Chen Pi, you go in person, take out the thirteenth brother and the tenth sister, and send them to the Kangning Palace." ”

These two people are Zhao Xu's brother and sister of the same mother, because of Zhao Xu's relationship, these two people were not able to live with Concubine Zhu, but were placed in foster care with another concubine of Shenzong.

Zhao Xu can't visit Concubine Zhu often, but he can send his younger brothers and sisters over to chat for comfort. This is the surprise he told Concubine Zhu before.

Chen Pi looked hesitant, doing so might make the Empress Dowager dissatisfied, and in a blink of an eye, she thought that they had already mastered the forbidden army, so there was no need to cower as before, and immediately said: "Yes, the villain will go." ”

Zhao Xu snorted, lifted his spirits, strode into the Funing Palace, and said, "Wash up, go and say hello to your grandmother." ”

Immediately, there was a yellow door, and the palace maid was busy preparing quickly.

Zhao Xu hurriedly washed up and went to Cining Palace, ready to greet the Empress Dowager Gao, and also wanted to ask some details of last night's incident.

As soon as he walked to the gate of Cining Palace, Zhao Xu was about to go, when he saw a yellow gate coming quickly, stopped in front of Zhao Xu, bowed and said, "The villain has seen the official family." Niangniang just drank the medicine and fell asleep, and there was a saying before that the official family is not used to ask for peace, and the health is not good, so it is good to rest, don't be tired. ”

Zhao Xu listened to the words, and looked calmly into the Cining Palace.

It's just that such a yellow gate came, and even Zhou He didn't come forward, is this a dissatisfied reaction to his snatching control of the forbidden army in the palace?

Chu You stood behind Zhao Xu with a slightly solemn expression.

He felt a hint of subtlety.

Zhao Xu looked at it for a while, smiled and said, "Okay." Please grandmother have a good rest and I'll come back later. ”

Huang Men hurriedly responded, watched Zhao Xu and his party leave, and then quickly turned around and ran back.

Zhao Xu returned to Funinggui and went directly into the study.

Chu You held the handle of the knife in his hand and stood outside the gatehouse.

Zhao Xu sat on a chair, holding a book in his hand, flipping through it a little carelessly.

Even if he gets control of the forbidden army, he is still bound, there is Empress Dowager Gao in the palace, and there are Lu Dafang and others outside the palace, this 'old party' is a huge net, woven for many years, dense, and Zhao Xu is just a small fish in the snare.
