Zhao Xu thought for a while and looked up at the outside of the palace.

In the palace, he can't conflict with the Empress Dowager Gao, and ethically he is a natural disadvantage. If you want to break free and give his mother the proper place, he has to need the support of those civil officials outside.

'How do you tear a gap in the monolithic old party......

Zhao Xu whispered in his heart, thinking of various methods.

The 'old party' is monolithic, they have a common political philosophy, not a traditional collection of interests, and if they want to open the gap, they must find the right place.

At the same time, Chen Pi led the eight-year-old Zhao Yi and the seven-year-old Zhao You'e to the front of the Kangning Palace.

The two children have been away from Concubine Zhu for a long time, and they can only see each other once in a long time, and at this time, both of them stood in front of the door with a little confused face.

When Li Fa saw that Chen Pi had brought His Royal Highness the Thirteenth and the Tenth Princess over, he was very surprised, and he had already sent someone in to report it.

Concubine Zhu was excited and worried because Zhao Xu came to see her last night, so she didn't fall asleep, listened to the movement outside, and hurriedly ran out.

Seeing Zhao Bi and Zhao You'e again, she was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly ran over to hug them, couldn't help crying and crying, and hurriedly let go after a while, looked at the two and said, "Why are you here?" Did the Empress Dowager allow it? ”

Zhao You'e stretched out her hand to wipe the tears on Concubine Zhu's face, her voice was immature, and she said crisply: "Little lady doesn't cry......"

However, Zhao seemed to be a little calmer and said, "Little lady, it was Chen Pi who brought us here." ”

Chen Pi bowed and smiled with Concubine Zhu: "Concubine, it is the meaning of the official family." His Royal Highness the Thirteenth and the Tenth Princess will live in the Kangning Palace in the future. ”

Chen Pi saw Concubine Zhu's change of color, and added: "The Empress Dowager also agreed." ”

Concubine Zhu looked at Chen Pi, she knew that the Empress Dowager didn't like her, and said uneasily: "Really? ”

Chen Pi said: "Yes, otherwise how could the villain bring His Royal Highness the Thirteenth and the Ten Princesses over?" ”

Concubine Zhu was relieved when she heard this, and hurriedly picked up the two children and was about to go inside, when she suddenly turned around and whispered to Chen Pi: "You let the official family remember my words, and don't conflict with the Empress Dowager." ”

Chen Pi nodded again and again, and watched Concubine Zhu enter the door before leaving.

Chen Pi returned to Funing Palace, reported to Zhao Xu, and said with a smile: "Official, the concubine is crying with joy." ”

Zhao Xu smiled, feeling a little more comfortable, and said: "You keep an eye on the little lady's side, and send everything you don't want, if your grandmother does something to the little lady, stop it first and tell me immediately." ”

Chen Pi responded and said, "The villain has written it down." ”

Zhao Xu closed the book in front of him and said, "Although we have mastered the forbidden army, I am afraid that our situation will be worse than before, so we must be careful and careful." In addition to keeping an eye on things in the palace, things outside the palace must be paid close attention to. If there are any big or small things outside the palace, let me know as soon as possible......"

Chen Pi's eyes condensed and said, "Yes." The villain will do it. ”

Zhao Xu snorted, and when he left, he exhaled lightly and rubbed his temples that were a little sore.

In the past, he had a tacit understanding with the Empress Dowager Gao, as long as he shrank his head, the Empress Dowager Gao would not put too much pressure on him. Now that he has taken action to obtain the power of the forbidden army, I am afraid that the Empress Dowager Gao will not sit idly by.

I'm afraid it won't be peaceful in this palace.

In the evening, the Empress Dowager Gao in the palace of Cining Hall sat on the bed, took the medicine bowl, and before drinking, raised her eyes and looked at the next Zhou He.

Zhou He understood, bowed down and said, "The official family didn't go anywhere else except for going to the Kangning Hall in the morning. Thirteen Highnesses, the tenth princess was sent over, and the others were gone. ”

Empress Dowager Gao took a sip of medicine, put the bowl back, and said, "Is there anything to say outside?" ”

Zhou He's face was as usual, and he said: "It's very calm outside the palace, the rumors have disappeared, and the three prime ministers came to greet them at noon, because the mother was still sleeping, and they waited for a while and went back." ”

Empress Dowager Gao wiped her mouth, leaned on the bed, and sighed lightly: "People just can't do it when they're old, this disease, there are so many more things." ”

Zhou He looked up at Empress Dowager Gao, and after a while, he took a step forward, bowed his head, and said in a very calm tone: "Niangniang, do you want to ......?"

Empress Dowager Gao glanced at him and said lightly: "Nonsense." ”

Zhou He's face was expressionless, and he slowly retreated.

Empress Dowager Gao leaned on the head of the bed, her expression was a little pale, but her eyes were very calm, she was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Please enter the palace." ”

Su Xianggong, Su Zhe.

Zhou He responded without sadness or joy: "Yes." ”

After Zhou He left, Empress Dowager Gao was left alone in the dormitory, her gaze gradually became firm, and her expression was majestic.

As soon as Su Zhe entered the palace here, Zhao Xu knew it, after all, it was his people who guarded the palace gate.

Zhao Xu didn't deliberately ask people to inquire about what Su Zhe talked about when he entered the palace, and sat in the study and read quietly.

He needs time and is waiting for his chance.

But in the evening, Chen Pi suddenly came anxiously from outside to the remote place, ignoring that Zhao Xu was eating, and said with a solemn expression: "Official, the Empress Dowager has made a move." ”

Zhao Xu was drinking porridge, raised his head violently, and said, "What place?" ”

If Empress Dowager Gao wants to suppress him, there are too many ways and methods.

Chen Pi glanced outside, approached and said in a low voice: "The news from the political affairs hall is Su Zhe's envoy. ”

The number of marriage ceremonies in the Song Dynasty is very complicated, Naji, Nacheng, the date of the announcement, etc., as the emperor is naturally more cumbersome, and each step must be a special person, called 'so-and-so envoy', and filled with 'three phases'.

Zhao Xu frowned, what is the purpose of Empress Dowager Gao's hand?

If he gets married, he will be an adult, and when he becomes an adult, he will naturally be a pro-government, and after the wedding, the government and the opposition will inevitably have such a voice, and the Empress Dowager Gao is asking for trouble for herself in vain?

Chen Pi saw Zhao Xu pondering, and said: "It's already chosen, it's Meng Meiren." ”

Zhao Xu was stunned and said, "Meng Yuan's granddaughter? ”

Chen Pi nodded solemnly, secretly frightened.

He had to admire the cleverness of Empress Dowager Gao's methods, that Meng Yuan and the official family clashed outside the Xuande Gate, and then was demoted out of Beijing, and the relationship with the official family was extremely tense, and here the Empress Dowager Gao helped his granddaughter to the position of the queen of the official family!

This is deliberately coming for the official family!

After Zhao Xu listened, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a hint of a smile.

I have to say that Empress Dowager Gao's political skills are indeed superb.

pulled Meng Yuan to stabilize the guards and infantry division to balance the forbidden army in the palace, controlled Meng Meiren to monitor him, and at the same time, Meng Meiren could still be in charge of the harem as the queen. Moreover, it further showed the government and the opposition that the Empress Dowager who listened to the government had control over the emperor, which was really clever!

Emperor Zhezong in history was indeed very angry with the Empress Meng who Empress Dowager Gao set up for him, and he dared not speak out at that time. After the death of the Empress Dowager Gao, after he took office, while sweeping away the old party, he also abolished the Empress Meng and drove her out of the palace to become a female Taoist.

But now Zhao Xu is different, he knows how wise and brave this Empress Meng is.

She played a very key role in the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty, and even turned the tide on the verge of collapse, and it can be said unceremoniously that she preserved the Southern Song Dynasty and continued the national glory of the Song Dynasty!

Such a woman is rare in ancient times, Empress Dowager Gao gave her to Zhao Xu as a chess piece, how could Zhao Xu be angry, and he would wake up laughing when he dreamed happily!

Chen Pi saw Zhao Xu's strange smile on the side, and couldn't help asking, "Official, is there a countermeasure?" ”

Zhao Xu was awakened by Chen Pi, and quickly restrained his expression, his eyes still looked out of the door with a smile, his smile gradually increased, and said: "I was too focused on investigating the case before, and I ignored a lot of things, but now I think about it." Well, I also paid attention, informed Chu You, and went out of the palace to play. ”

Chen Pi was stunned, the Empress Dowager selected the queen for the official family, and she didn't ask the official family, it must be the Empress Dowager's person, now at such a sensitive and tense moment, the official family doesn't hurry up to deal with it, how can they still be happy to go out of the palace to play?
