Empress Dowager Gao looked outside the door for a long time, suddenly looked at Zhou He, and said, "Zhou He, you say, the official family really hates it so much...... Is it? ”

Although the word 'I' was not spoken, Zhou He understood it and trembled fiercely in his heart. Thinking back to the suppression and control of Zhao Xu by the Empress Dowager Gao over the years, although his mind was like falling into an ice cave, he still said in a trembling voice: "Niangniang is worried, Niangniang is the grandmother of the official family......"

Empress Dowager Gao seemed to know something from his expression and voice, and snorted with a stiff face as if smiling.

Empress Dowager Gao is a person who came from the time of Renzong, after Empress Yingzong, Empress Dowager Shenzong, to Zhao Xu, the Empress Dowager, more than 40 years of ups and downs, where is it not clear the words 'Heavenly Family is ruthless'.

Thinking of Zhao Xu's 'killing' outside, she felt a little uneasy in her heart, and said to herself: "Zhou He, you say, what will the official family do to me?" I remember that someone wrote a letter to impeach me before, saying that I was 'abusing power to the country' and 'bullying the young master'? ”

Zhou He's face turned pale, and he said in a low voice: "Niangniang, don't think too much, the official family, the official family, the official family is still filial......"

At this time, where would Empress Dowager Gao believe this. She drilled into the horns, thinking vigorously whether Zhao Xu would abolish her honor as the empress dowager, bully her, or even force her to death, and give her a bad name.

At this time, she didn't even care about maintaining the ancestral system.

The night is as cool as water, and the Funing Hall is quiet.

Compared with the excitement outside the palace, the Funing Hall has a more solemn atmosphere.

In Zhao Xu's bedroom, there is a small table on the bed, there are simple drinks and dishes, and Zhao Xu and Meng Meiren sit opposite each other.

Meng Meiren seemed to be able to hear the movement outside the palace, her eyes looked at Zhao Xu, pursed her lips, and said softly: "Official, it seems that you are not very happy?" ”

Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Unhappy? Why am I upset? After tonight, I will be the emperor, why are I happy? ”

Cleared the remnants of Lu Dafang, all the power is in his hands, and he is the real emperor!

Meng Meiren looked at Zhao Xu and said, "Didn't the official family find out?" After the concubine came, the official family didn't say a few words in total. ”

Zhao Xu didn't know anything before, but when he heard this, he suddenly frowned, and he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to be very excited, but on the contrary, he felt empty.

A strange sense of emptiness.

is about to be in power, and the day that I have been looking forward to for a long time is coming, how can I not be happy?

Zhao Xu frowned and was silent.

He wanted to reform the military system of the Great Song Dynasty, train strong soldiers, eliminate Liao and Xia, and wash away humiliation. He also wants to reform the government and establish a normal state system, he wants to eliminate the three redundancies, solve the current difficulties in people's livelihood, strengthen the country and enrich the people, prevent the doom of the country, and realize the real prosperity of China, the great Song Dynasty!

He still has many, many things to do, how can he have such a sense of emptiness?

Meng Meiren looked at Zhao Xu's rare silent expression, picked up the wine jug with her bare hands, and poured a glass for Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu glanced at her, picked up the wine glass and took a sip lightly, with a thought in his heart, he wanted to ask, 'What would you do in my position', but he knew that it didn't make sense, and asked instead: "Everyone outside says that I am taking revenge on Lu Dafang and others for bullying me for many years, and that I am too out of line, contrary to the ancestral system, not by the Holy Monarch, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Xu's series of actions, it can be said that since the fight against Zhenzong, it has not happened, whether it is to kill the courtiers with a cane, to seal up the great yamen, or to go to prison to slaughter the court, it is a large-scale cleansing of the court.

Not to mention that these happened together, none of the previous emperors had done it!

By tomorrow, inside and outside the government and the opposition, the entire Great Song Dynasty will inevitably be stunned, shocked, incredulous, panicked, and at a loss.

Meng Meiren looked at Zhao Xu quietly, reached out and poured him another glass, and said, "Official, there is no right or wrong." Now, you can only move forward, not backward. ”

Zhao Xu laughed, picked up the wine glass and took another sip, and sighed lightly in his heart.

How could he retreat?

He finally realized where the emptiness was coming from.

He has done so many things, and there is not even a person who can speak, and there is no one in the world who can understand him.

Is this what the high places are so cold?

Seeing that Zhao Xu's face still had some indescribable taste, Meng Meiren blinked, and suddenly said, "Official, are you ready to change the yuan?" ”

Zhao Xu looked up at her, picked up the wine glass, and looked thoughtful.

The era name of the emperor of the Song Dynasty was changed frequently, and almost all major events had to be changed. The most changed should be Renzong, with nine. Shenzong also has Xining and Yuanfeng.

If he is pro-government, it stands to reason that he will also change it.

Nodding slightly, Zhao Xu said, "It's going to be changed, and then wait." ”

liquidated Lu Dafang and cleaned up the old party diehards, and he still had to take time to stabilize, sort out the court situation, and take the opportunity to adjust the structure of the court; In addition, Xixia is about to move, and he has to start training the new army, and there are really many things, and he has to come step by step.

Meng Meiren saw that Zhao Xu's mood eased and said, "Official, the Queen Mother will be buried in a few days, will you go?" ”

Zhao Xu really didn't have a good impression of this Empress Dowager Xiang, but said with a smile: "Go, not only me, Su Xianggong, Er Fan, and six Shangshu, Yushitai, Kaifeng Mansion, etc., all have to go." ”

Meng Meiren pursed the corners of her lips, her expression slightly condensed. The Empress Dowager asked everything to be simple, what did the official family do with this fanfare?

Zhao Xu was really not in a good mood, waved his hand, and said, "Withdraw, go to bed early, there will be annoyance tomorrow." ”

Meng Meiren responded, and was just about to reach out to clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the small table, but Zhao Xu had already taken the small table and put it on the ground on the side.

Zhao Xu sorted out the quilt and said, "Let's clean it up tomorrow and let the people outside rest early." ”

Meng Meiren looked at Zhao Xu, and a smile suddenly flashed in her eyes. No matter how outsiders spread it, everyone in the neighborhood knows that the official family is still very lenient and compassionate.

Zhao Xu didn't know that Meng Meiren thought so much, patted his side, and said, "Come on." ”

Meng Meiren hurriedly got up and slept next to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu hugged her, looking out the window, the moonlight was bright, and there was a hint of coolness in the mildness. Zhao Xu watched quietly, I don't know how long it took, and suddenly said to himself: "The moonlight is so good, ...... tomorrow"

Knock knock

Before Zhao Xu's sigh fell, a gentle knock suddenly sounded outside the door, and then Chen Pi lowered his voice: "Official, Chu You is back." ”

Zhao Xu's expression of emotion was abrupt, and he directly lifted the quilt and put on his shoes, and said to Meng Mei: "You sleep first." ”

After saying that, he hugged his clothes and walked outside.

Inside the study.

Zhao Xu looked at Chu You while getting dressed, and said, "Tell me about the situation." ”

Chu You's face was a little dark, he looked stronger than before, his expression was respectful, knowing that Zhao Xu was anxious, and said concisely: "Yes." Back to the official's house, there are 20,000 people in front of the palace, and there is basically no problem. Weichen made arrangements and secretly controlled the Ma Military Division and the Infantry Military Division, so that they did not dare to mess around. ”

Zhao Xu had already dressed, listened to the great determination in his heart, his face was full of excitement, sat on the chair, looked at Chu You, nodded heavily, and said, "Well done!" Very good! ”

Zhao Xu's only concern now is the forbidden army stationed around Kaifeng City, although the possibility of mutiny is very small, Zhao Xu still has to be just in case!

Now, the front division of the palace is under control, and the other 'two ya' dare not move, and his throne is completely secure!
