Chapter 53: The First Decree
Zhao Xu listened and secretly took a breath.
It's finally here.
Zhao Xu quickly thought about it in his heart, and then said calmly as usual: "Go, Keju!" ”
Chen Pi was stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and said, "Official, Keju, now?" ”
There are two meanings in Chen Pi's words, one is, the Empress Dowager has obviously moved, do you still have the heart to bow? The second is just dawn, early in the morning.
Zhao Xu had already walked out and said, "Call someone." ”
Chen Pi hurriedly followed out, and Chu You went to call someone.
Zhao Xu freshened up, and with more than 20 people, in front of the Funing Palace, he really kicked up.
Chen Pi and Chu You stood outside the field, staring at Zhao Xu in the field.
Chen Pi's face tightened, and his heart was uneasy.
Chu You held the hilt of the knife in his hand, and stood solemnly.
Zhao Xu drank from time to time on the court, and his figure ran almost all over the court.
Chen Pi looked at it and felt that something was wrong, and whispered to Chu You: "Chu You, what do you see?" ”
Chu You's eyes didn't squint, and said, "I only listen to the holy order." ”
Chen Pi glanced at him dissatisfied, so he had to continue to look at Zhao Xu, who was running all over the field and sweating.
In the Cining Hall on the other side, Empress Dowager Gao was talking to Qin Bing, a member of the Zhongshu House.
Qin Bing listened to Empress Dowager Gao's words, his expression was solemn, and he kept nodding in response.
Empress Dowager Gao's expression is flat, but every word is as heavy as a thousand pounds!
At this time, Zhou He came in from outside, looked carefully, and stopped not far from the door.
Empress Dowager Gao finished speaking for a long time, picked up the teacup, and said, "Let's go and draft the decree." ”
Qin Bing raised his hand and said, "Weichen obeys the order." ”
Qin Bing raised his hand to retire and left with a respectful expression.
Zhou He stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, get ready." ”
Empress Dowager Gao took a sip of tea and said, "You go and do it yourself, do it properly." By the way, what are the officials doing? ”
Zhou He responded to the words in front, and bowed lightly in the back and said, "Official...... In Kemari. ”
Empress Dowager Gao frowned, looked up at the outside, and said, "The official family is doing this for me, urging me." ”
Zhou He lowered his head, didn't dare to say half a word, and even held his breath.
Empress Dowager Gao put down the teacup and said, "After the will is announced, go and invite the official family, Meng Meiren to see me." Conveniently, I sent these transcripts to the official family. ”
Zhou He glanced at the stack of notebooks on the table of the Empress Dowager Gao, and said, "Yes." ”
Empress Dowager Gao was just about to speak, when she suddenly felt that her eyes were a little flowery and her head hurt, so she quickly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and pressed her temples with both hands.
Zhou He hurriedly stepped forward, pressed it gently to the Empress Dowager Gao, and said, "Niangniang, you still have to pay attention to your body, the imperial doctor said, you have to rest a lot, you can't be tired." ”
Empress Dowager Gao calmed down for a while, sighed lightly, and said, "The mourning family is also miserable, and there is such a father and son. ”
Zhou He saw that Empress Dowager Gao's tone was not so solemn, and there was still a little relaxed, pondered for a moment, and said, "Then what can I do?" Aren't they all mother's sons and grandsons? When you are a grandmother, you don't have to worry about it. ”
Empress Dowager Gao laughed when she heard this, and said, "I have the heart to be a grandmother, but I'm afraid that the official family doesn't have the intention of being a grandson." ”
Zhou He saw that the Empress Dowager Gao smiled, her expression relaxed a little, and said with a smile: "Where is Niangniang, when Niangniang was seriously ill, the official family was more anxious than anyone else, and a filial piety is not only a villain, everyone sees it." If the official family is really that wolf-hearted person, how can the mother get it now, and it is not a loving heart that loves her grandson......"
Empress Dowager Gao sat still, tried to open her eyes, and said, "If he didn't have this filial piety at the beginning, I wouldn't be so bothered." ”
Zhou He pressed Empress Dowager Gao's temples, pinched his strength, and said with a smile: "Isn't it?" Filial piety of children and grandchildren, love of mothers and mothers, and gifts of humanity. ”
Empress Dowager Gao scolded with a smile and said, "You will follow me." ”
Zhou He smiled and hurriedly gave Empress Dowager Gao tea.
Empress Dowager Gao took a sip lightly, and her expression was much more relaxed.
At this time, in the political affairs hall, Qin Bing was drafting the will, and after it was written, he looked at the two wills for a moment, waited for the ink to dry, and sent it to the duty room of Zai Fu Lu Dafang.
Lu Dafang's expression was not moving for ten thousand years, and there was only one gap in his swollen eyes, he glanced at it and said, "Go ahead." ”
Qin Bing responded silently and turned to leave.
He didn't have the nervousness of yesterday now, but he was getting more and more nervous, and he didn't dare to relax in the slightest.
Qin Bing now understands the peace between Zai Fu and the Empress Dowager, because they have full confidence!
They are the rulers of the government and the opposition, and the empress dowager who listens to the government!
This holy decree is enough to set the ruling and opposition and stop the boiling and return to peace!
Qin Bing prepared his will, went through a few more procedures, and for nearly an hour, he sent it to Cining Hall for sealing.
Empress Dowager Gao didn't look at it, just waved her hand and continued to flip through the book.
Zhou He carefully reviewed it, took out the jade seal belonging to Zhao Xu, and covered it heavily on the two holy decrees.
Empress Dowager Gao didn't raise her head and said, "Zhou He, you go in person." ”
Zhou He bowed down, carefully packed the holy decree, and went to the political affairs hall.
In the political hall, seven or eight people including Lu Dafang, Su Song, and Su Zhe of the three phases were already waiting.
Zhou He came in, looked at the people in the hall, came inside, stood north and faced south, and said in a long voice:
"By will!"
Lu Dafang and the others looked solemn, raised their hands in unison, and said, "The ministers listen to the edict!" ”
Zhou He glanced at it, opened the first will, and said: "I am blessed with Haotian's life, and I bow to the throne...... Lai Qunchen worked together, united as one, to protect the foundation of the ancestors, and to secure thousands of people, which made great contributions...... Galu Dafang is the right Guanglu doctor, Ji County Gong, 2,000 households, and the province of Lizhongshu...... Su Song is the right servant of Shangshu and the waiter of Zhongshu...... So Chung knew the Privy Council...... Su Zhe is a servant of the door...... Fan Bailu, a bachelor of Hanlin, is a Chinese scholar............ In the imperial history, Zheng Yong is the right man of Shangshu...... Liu Fengshi signed the Privy Council ......"
Qin Bing and the others stood aside, listening to this will, and secretly breathed a long sigh of relief.
This is not a derogatory edict, but a seal, especially Zai Fu Lu Dafang! As soon as this holy decree came out, Lu Dafang's position was as stable as Mount Tai, and as soon as he stabilized, the chaos caused by the official family would inevitably quickly return to calm!
This holy decree is a needle for the government and the opposition!
Zhou He closed the holy decree, handed it to Lu Dafang, and said with a smile: "Lu Xianggong, the mother said: It's hard work." ”
Lu Dafang took the holy decree, his voice was as hoarse as ever, but he gave people a calm feeling, and said: "Where is my duty, I dare not say that I am hard." ”
Zhou He glanced at the others again and said, "The villain has to go somewhere else, please take care of yourself." ”
Lu Dafang was also polite and said, "Huangmen Order, please." ”
Zhou He smiled and returned to the palace with another holy decree.
Lu Dafang turned his head and looked at Su Zhe, Su Song and the others, his tone and expression were the same as yesterday, and said, "Get busy." ”
Su Zhe now admires Lu Dafang very much, Lu Dafang can solve this matter, he is even happier than his own official position and status promotion, and he can't help but say: "Zaifu, do you want to arrange anything else?" ”
Lu Dafang looked around and said, "Everything is still the same." ”
Lu Dafang's words were like a final word, which made everyone feel at ease, and they all smiled and raised their hands, and left the political hall one after another.
Zhou He, who left the government hall first, went straight to the Kangning Hall with another will.
With such a big move, it is difficult for Zhao Xu to think about it.
Listening to Chen Pi's report, Zhao Xu's left eyelid couldn't stop jumping, and secretly sighed that ginger was old and spicy, just this holy decree was enough to extinguish the floating thoughts of those people in the outer court, and turn Zhao Xu's actions yesterday into invisible.
But Zhao Xu didn't care about paying attention to the political affairs hall, because Zhou He was rushing to the Kangning Hall with another will.
The owner of the Kangning Hall - Zhao Xu's biological mother, Concubine Zhu.
Chen Pi's face was full of uneasiness, and he said in a low voice: "Official, what is the Empress Dowager going to do, not to ......"
Zhao Xu waved his hand to interrupt him, and said with a smile: "I told you, it didn't come to that point. ”
Zhao Xu was also nervous, but he wasn't too worried.
His movements were too fast, and Empress Dowager Gao, Lu Dafang and others didn't have time to do too much, and they wouldn't really make a move on him.
If you want to make a move on an emperor, there is not enough brewing and arrangement, and it is difficult to predict success or failure, and it will also cause an uproar, which is not what the conservative Empress Dowager Gao and Lu Dafang and others want to see.
What's more, he's not without backhand!
What, then, is this will? What is the purpose? ’
Zhao Xu muttered to himself in his heart, thinking slowly.
The reason why he was so anxious and made a series of shots was to catch them off guard, so as to highlight his status and fight for his right to speak and space for activities.
But Empress Dowager Gao, Lu Dafang and others have experienced too many winds and waves, and they have real power and good political skills, even if they are caught off guard, they will have means to deal with it.
The first will has leveled the boiling government and the opposition, what is the second will?
