The Great Song Dynasty was up and down, sharpening knives, and all kinds of preparations for war had already been made in the open.

In Kaifeng City, the discussion of this battle gradually increased, full of worries.

With the passing of the Empress Dowager Gao, the people who used to hold the thigh of the Empress Dowager Gao have lowered their profiles.

The Wei Wangfu was already low-key, but now it is even more silent.

But on this day, there were still a lot of people.

They are all close relatives, distant relatives and in-laws of the Great Song Zhao family.

Zhao Xu's great-grandfather Emperor Renzong had nothing to do, and several of the sons of his grandfather Emperor Yingzong had passed away, and by Zhao Xu's generation, the close relatives and uncles of the imperial family were actually gone.

In addition, Zhao Xu's little mother, Concubine Zhu, was born in a commoner, her father passed away early, and her relatives are equivalent to nothing.

Therefore, there are almost no doors that can directly find Zhao Xu.

Therefore, there is no other way to do it.

Princess Wei didn't want to see anyone, and she didn't want to get involved in the complicated court situation, but she didn't dare to refute some face.

King Wei and King Yan have the same nature, once coveted Zhao Xu's throne and did a lot of things, as soon as Empress Dowager Gao died, the Wei Palace, it was in danger, and it was almost transparent in the clan, and the court was going to cut the money, and Princess Wei felt that life was getting more and more difficult.

Remote.

A group of young and old sat and talked worriedly.

"Princess Niangniang, this treasury is already empty, and the court wants to borrow money to make money, which is good, it's a big war again......"

"It's not, those law-changing factions, there is nothing to do all day long, how long has the Empress Dowager removed the curtain, and the world is in chaos like this, hey......"

"The official family is young, and he was deceived by Zhang Dian and others, and now he still wants to drive the expedition in person, if this is turned upside down......"

"Niangniang, it's not that the old man is talking about frustration, if the official family has three long and two short, what should I do with the Great Song Dynasty......"

When they got here, the voices of the group of people suddenly became much quieter.

Zhao Xu has no heirs, and Queen Meng's child has not been born. What if Zhao Xu dies suddenly? The first person to succeed to the throne should be Lao Jiu Zhao Tong, but he is blind? No way? followed by Zhao Yi, because Zhao Ji was abolished by Zhao Xu.

Princess Wei is not a fool? I couldn't see it, and said lightly: "Everyone? Am I just a woman? If you don't understand these things, you'd better go to someone else. ”

Someone immediately refuted and said: "Niangniang's words are bad, on seniority? Are you an official uncle? Princess Wei, even the concubine Niangniang respects it, it is related to the safety of the country and society, how can Niangniang shirk it? ”

"Yes, Niangniang, the official family has just been in power? I still don't understand anything, and I was deceived by the Change-Changing Sect to go to the Imperial Expedition? Those people harbor evil intentions, and they can't help but guard against it......"

"Mother? The prince is the top priority of the country, and the mother must take it to heart......"

Big hats smashed down? Princess Wei is no longer easy to shirk? But you already understand the intentions of these people? couldn't help but look slightly gloomy, and said: "Elders, such a big thing is not something that I can mix with as a woman, so stop here, you go out, no matter what you say, I won't admit it." ”

After Princess Wei finished speaking, she didn't give those people a chance, and walked straight into the inner courtyard.

Where are the people willing to give up, but they can't chase them to the inner courtyard, they shouted for a while, and when they saw that Princess Wei just didn't come out, they could only sigh and leave.

But things are so magical, Zhao Xu's edict has not yet been promulgated, but the word 'Lichu' suddenly burst out, not only Zhao Xu's younger brothers, but even the sons of King Yan and King Wei are also counted, and the government and the opposition are also quite lively about 'virtuous or not'.

Soon, this incident caused a lot of turmoil in the imperial court.

It wasn't until Concubine Zhu couldn't bear it anymore and closed the palace gate that Zhao Xu made a move.

Inside the arched hall.

Zhao Xu looked at Zhang Dian and said lightly: "Zhang Dagong, I haven't left the palace yet, how do I feel that I have already been martyred?" Your political affairs hall is so anxious to support the new monarch, is it so good that you can follow the dragon's work? ”

In the main hall, in addition to Zhang Dan, there are also six servants in Beijing, etc., there are more than 20 people, all of whom are looking at Zhang Dan at this moment.

The words of the official family are too heavy, and ordinary people can't afford it at all. And it was the first time they saw the official family embarrassed Zhang Dian in public.

'It seems that their relationship is not as good as the legend says?' ’

This idea popped into the hearts of many people.

Zhang Dian was very calm, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has already noticed this matter, and according to the minister's investigation, it was all done by Xia Liao's spies. ”

Zhao Xu looked at him with an expressionless face.

Chen Pi snorted and said, "Since you know, why didn't you deal with it earlier, now people outside the palace are panicking, and the palace is not peaceful, is this how you are the prime minister?" ”

Everyone looked at Chen Pi, and then quietly looked at Zhao Xu, everyone knows that Chen Pi's words are what Zhao Xu means!

Many people quietly looked at Zhang Dan's back, and they were vaguely aware of the 'sword light and sword shadow' at the highest level of the Great Song Dynasty.

The power structure of the Great Song Dynasty is becoming clearer and clearer, the emperor - the ministers of the political hall - the six books - the six squires, it stands to reason that the six squires have already said that the court members, in this case, few of them still dare to open their mouths to play a round.

Zhang Dan's face was still serious, and he raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, you can't make such a big storm just by doing it, and the minister thinks that someone in my court has colluded with it and found some evidence." ”

Zhao Xu's eyes have been paying attention to the courtiers other than Zhang Dan, and seeing their faces change, he said secretly: Sure enough, they are all smart people.

Zhao Xu answered unhurriedly: "Then what are you waiting for?" ”

Zhang Dian raised his hand, held a notebook, and said: "Because there are many people who are not in the authority of the Criminal Department, the Imperial History Tower, or even the Imperial City Division, please ask the official family to learn from it." ”

Zhao Xu glanced at it and said, "The other Qing families will pass it on first." ”

There are really no stupid people present, and they can't see through the clues. But no one debunked it, passed it one by one, watched, and saw many familiar and unfamiliar names.

Some people see not only the royal clan members who have jumped up and down recently, but also many nobles, old parties, and even businessmen!

'Sure enough......,' someone whispered in his heart.

They all saw that before the royal expedition, Zhang Dian was going to take this opportunity to erase the threats and hidden dangers.

Obviously, the officials have known about it for a long time.

'I'm afraid it's the idea of the official family, right? Some of those who knew more were whispering to themselves.

Soon after Zhao Xu's desk, Zhao Xu rolled his eyes a few times casually, and said without raising his head: "What are you going to do?" ”

Zhang Dan's tone was a little more stern and said: "The official family has not yet taken the imperial conquest, and spreading such vicious rumors will not only have no king, but will also shake the king's heart, endanger the border, and be heinous, the minister will behead the bandits, and the rest will be exiled to Zhan Zhou." ”

Zhanzhou, Hainan in later generations, was the farthest place that the Song Dynasty could distribute.

Zhao Xu's face remained unchanged, and he said, "What do you think?" ”

How dare a group of people speak, it is clear that it is the established plan of the emperor and the prime minister, who dares to interject?

Zhao Xu's gaze searched and slowly fell on Wu Juhou, the household servant.

Wu Juhou's fat face moved twice, and he stepped forward and hummed: "Qi Guan family, some of them may just be bewitched, or unintentional, the minister asks the official family to open the mercy and grace lightly." ”

Everyone shook their heads secretly, disapproving Wu Juhou's words.

But what caught them off guard was that Zhao Xu then said: "What Wu Qingjia said is true. Zhang, carefully considered, not wanton, the court should be lenient. ”

Everyone was relieved, and then they wanted to refute it and insisted on dealing with it severely.

"Commandment." The courtiers of the full hall were caught off guard again.
