Cai Jing was originally regarded as a 'Wang Party', and he actively supported Wang Anshi's reform of the law, and he contributed a lot. After Yuan You, the 'new party' collapsed, and he quickly directed the leader of the 'old party', Sima Guang, and vigorously promoted the elimination of the 'new law', which was quite impressive.

Because of this, he was attacked by the 'old and new' parties, and he was impeached in writing, accusing him of being 'a snake and a mouse at both ends, treacherous and shameless'.

And the 'old party' has always been 'upright' and pays attention to 'etiquette', how can a minister like Cai Jing be allowed to come back? Therefore, Cai Jing's failure to come back all these years is because of the 'old party's insistence on suppression.

Cai Jing has a deep grudge with the 'old party' because of this!

Those who can serve as the 'Six Rites Envoy' are all figures at the level of the Prime Minister or the potential Prime Minister, if Cai Jing serves as the 'Envoy of Strategy', then the next step is to enter the center in common sense.

Seeing Su Zhe jumping out to make trouble, how could Zhao Xu sit idly by, smiled and said, "Su Qingjia, what I asked you to do before, how did you do it?" ”

Su Zhe was thinking about how to stop Cai Jing from serving as the envoy, listening to Zhao Xu's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "What does the official family refer to?" ”

Zhao Xu sat upright, looked at him and said, "Su Qing's family, before you had no gentleman in your eyes, and you had no courtesy; Now you are disobedient and disrespectful, what crime should you be guilty of! ”

Su Zhe had already remembered that what Zhao Xu said was 'sixty years old', how could such a request be implemented?

Zai Lu Dafang, the privy envoy Su Song is already over sixty, if you really want to do this, you have to go to two of the three!

Su Zhe didn't dare to argue with Zhao Xu on such an issue as 'the gift of the monarch and the minister', as a courtier, he would definitely lose!

After a little calm, he said: "Official, this matter is already brewing, and it will be presented to the official family in the near future." ”

Zhao Xu snorted coldly and said, "Okay! Now send someone to get it, but if you can't get it, you will be guilty of one more crime: deceit! ”

Su Zhe's expression froze, and he couldn't speak.

Naturally, there was no discussion in the political affairs hall, even if Zhao Xu had made a lot of moves recently, which made the political affairs hall extremely stressed, the court still did not really pay attention to Zhao Xu, perhaps because of habit or because he felt that 'sixty and caused' was ridiculous, in short, it was just a deaf ear and did not take it seriously.

Su Song, who was on Su Zhe's side, saw that Su Zhe was losing and retreating, and there was no way to retreat, he sighed in his heart, he didn't want to get involved, and he couldn't hide from his feelings, so he had to answer the phone and said in a round way: "Qi Yu Niangniang, the official family, Cai Jing's matter is inconclusive, and it is not impossible to serve as an envoy." ”

Su Zhe's face changed slightly, he didn't expect that at this time, Su Song would actually rebel!

Empress Dowager Gao looked at Su Song with a cold look in her eyes.

She had anger in her heart, one was that the sudden arrival of these two Sus had ruined her plan to control Zhao Xu. At the same time, she noticed from Zhao Xu's attitude that the grandson in front of her was becoming more and more difficult to control.

Zhao Xu refused to obey, and the privy envoy Su Song, whom she promoted, began to waver!

Is Su Song alone, or does it mean that some people in the court have been shaken?

Empress Dowager Gao vaguely felt that the power she had held tightly in her hands was rapidly loosening!

Su Song felt Empress Dowager Gao's gaze, his heart sank slightly, and he bowed his head and said nothing.

Su Zhe took a deep breath, with a solemn and resolute look on his face.

He not only wants to prevent Cai Jing, a traitor, from entering the center, but also to prevent Zhao Xu from continuing to destabilize the political situation.

He raised his hand to the Empress Dowager Gao and said in a deep voice: "Niangniang, the six rites are related to His Majesty's wedding, the etiquette is comprehensive, and you can't be careless. ”

Zhao Xu's eyes narrowed violently, staring straight at Su Zhe, and bursts of anger surged in his heart.

In the court, he didn't have anyone in the court, and he didn't even have a chance to open his mouth when he opened a court meeting!

Meng Meiren was also shocked when she heard it, she didn't get involved in court politics, and she never expected that the situation of the official family would be so embarrassing!

She pursed her lips lightly and looked at the Empress Dowager Gao beside her quietly.

Mrs. Gao was expressionless, her eyes were calm and deep, and she sat upright with dignity. In her heart, she has decided to further clamp down on Zhao Xu!

She wants to maintain the ancestral system, and she also needs the future emperor to maintain the ancestral system, instead of learning from Shenzong who doesn't know the so-called changes, causing chaos in the world and threatening the Zhao family!

Empress Dowager Gao picked up the teacup again, took a sip slowly, and said without raising her head: "Privy envoy, what do you think?" ”

Su Song smiled bitterly in his heart, where could he not detect the dissatisfaction of the Empress Dowager Gao, but no matter what he said, in the end, both sides would not be good.

For the sake of the peace of the Great Song Dynasty, Su Song was also helpless, and said: "Niangniang, the six rites have basically been decided, if the court is discussed again, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary speculation among the government and the opposition, and Niangniang will make a decision immediately." ”

Old fox!

Zhao Xu listened and snorted coldly in his heart. Su Song did not agree to open the court, and did not support Cai Jing as the envoy, but kicked the ball back to Zhao Xu and Empress Dowager Gao.

Empress Dowager Gao was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked at Zhao Xu and said, "Official, what do you think?" ”

Of course, Zhao Xu wants to promote Cai Jing, he needs to tear a gap in the sturdy outer court, and he wants to set up a pole for everyone to see!

Zhao Xu looked at Su Song, Su Zhe, did not speak immediately, and kept analyzing and calculating in his heart.

In his original plan, this time he came to Cining Hall to 'reconcile', he had done enough, and then he should precipitate and cultivate obscurity, so as to gradually gain power and sit on the throne.

But obviously, neither Empress Dowager Gao nor the ministers of the outer court would give him this opportunity. They are trying their best to trap him, lock him, and keep increasing the locks on him, one layer on the left and one layer on the right, and after a little struggle, the locks will be more and tighter!

Zhao Xu looked at Su Zhe, his eyes flickering.

Su Zhe wants to open a court meeting, is this to show him the power of the imperial court? Isolate him further?

Zhao Xu didn't speak, and all the eyes in the hall were on his face.

Empress Dowager Gao's expression was flat, and she lost her 'kindness' not long ago.

Meng Meiren pursed her lips, looking a little uneasy.

Su Zhe looked at Zhao Xu with a resolute face. He had already decided in his heart that if Zhao Xu did not agree, he would forcibly ask for the consent of the Empress Dowager Gao!

Only in this way can we thoroughly stabilize people's minds and restore peace to the government and the opposition. At the same time, it is also necessary to let Zhao Xu understand what the court and the people of the world think, it is not that he can be willful!

Su Song saw that Zhao Xu was silent for a long time, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

He may have a problem with this mud!

"Open the dynasty and discuss ......" Zhao Xu groaned and spoke slowly.

There was a sudden shock in the hall, and everyone held their breath.

Even the Empress Dowager Gao's eyes opened slightly.

She hadn't thought of using the court discussion before, which would hit Zhao Xu too hard, and would make her relationship with Zhao Xu tight and antagonistic.

It can be said that from beginning to end, Empress Dowager Gao hoped to 'influence' Zhao Xu in a relatively gentle way and be a benevolent monarch.

The corners of Su Song's thin face tightened, and he was very uneasy.

If it is really a court meeting, there will definitely be no one on the side of the official family, and the courtiers will attack the official family from top to bottom, what is this like?

The most important thing is that the official family is only seventeen years old!

Su Songke had never thought of such a thing as abolishing the emperor and setting up another one, and he glanced at Su Zhe in the afterglow.

It was Su Zhe's fierce reaction that pushed things to this point. Now, the outer court, even the Empress Dowager Gao, the official family has no way to retreat!

Su Zhe's expression remained unchanged, and his eyes were firm.

"Let's go then."

Zhao Xu nodded lightly and said.

It's calm and quiet, but it's like thunder, and you can hear the needles falling in the Cining Palace!
