The next day, Han Zhongyan's beggar book was approved by the Empress Dowager Gao, and he quickly left Beijing.

Su Song, Deputy Privy Councillor, temporarily acted as Privy Councillor.

The liveliness of Kaifeng City has not decreased but increased, and the spread of the 'Zichen Hall incontinence' thing is like boiling water out of the pot, surging and moving, flying up and down, and spreading to the Great Song Dynasty in all directions.

Zhao Xu sat in the Funing Palace, listening to the six directions, wanting to see which people would come over openly or secretly, ready to select available people to cultivate.

But he didn't wait for anyone available, but he waited for Zhang Shangying's 'statement of affection', and he asked to resign and return to his hometown to serve his mother on the grounds of 'mother's illness'.

Such a request, so to speak, is almost unstoppable, and the word 'filial piety' is unmatched!

When Zhao Xu heard the news, he was surprised but not surprised, so he could only shake his head.

Chen Pi said a little nervously: "Official, you said, could it be that the ministers are pressuring?" ”

Zhao Xu snorted and said, "Do you still need to guess?" But people take the initiative to ask to return to their hometown to serve their mother, what can I say? ”

Since he left at this time, it would be useless - Zhang Shangying had been eliminated from Zhao Xu's 'available list'.

Chen Pi hesitated and said, "I don't know what will happen to that Cai Jing?" ”

Now the imperial court is dominated by the Empress Dowager and the ministers of the political hall, if they don't want anyone to return to Beijing, they will definitely not be able to come back!

Zhao Xu had a little expectation for Cai Jing, looked at Chen Pi and said, "You can keep an eye on this person." Call Chu You. ”

Chen Pi responded, turned around and went out.

Chu You understood his identity more and more, so he was more silent, very serious, cautious and concentrated on doing things, never thinking too much, talking too much.

Zhao Xu ordered him to close the door, and when he came over, he said solemnly: "Is there anything abnormal in the forbidden army in the palace?" ”

Chu You glanced at the door, walked further, and said in a low voice: "Official, there are many people who have been moved, and many people have been contacted, including Weichen. ”

Zhao Xu didn't seem to hear the last sentence, so he hummed casually, and then said: "The forbidden army in the palace is my only reliance, my grandmother and the political hall can see clearly, there will definitely be actions in the future, we must be extremely cautious!" My idea is to promote Liu Heng to the deputy capital of Yuhou, the two of you, there must be one person in the palace under any circumstances. At the same time, the palace was divided into six parts, and six Yu marquis were set up, and in any case, three people must not move in the palace. Among them, the Funing Hall and the Cining Hall are two, without my will, no one can be mobilized under any circumstances! ”

Chu You listened to Zhao Xu's words, wrote them down carefully, was silent for a moment, and said, "Yes, Weichen will go and arrange it." ”

Zhao Xu waved his hand, got up and said, "I will come in person." ”

Chu You glanced at Zhao Xu, responded silently with an unmoving expression, and followed Zhao Xu out of the study.

"Keju! LIU Heng,ZHANG Tongyi,HUANG Zhengshan,QIN Lu......"

Zhao Xu shouted, these are the guards who originally bowed with him, and they have been checked carefully for a long time, and they can be trusted.

These people were soon called, and when they heard that they were going to bow with the officials, they were very happy.

Zhao Xu exercised on the court with these people, talking to some people from time to time, and after an hour, all the arrangements were completed in this keju.

At this time, as the 'Six Rites Envoy', the chief executive Lu Dafang mobilized all the ministries of the three provinces of the imperial court and began to prepare for the wedding of the emperor and queen.

In the palace, Zhao Xu has not moved for the time being, but the harem is lively.

Although the Empress Dowager has not yet issued an edict, it is a matter of time, and preparations are already in full swing in the palace.

Concubine Zhu is not a mother-in-law, as Zhao Xu, the emperor's biological mother, many things can't be bypassed her, and she is also festively busy, and she has to prepare a lot of things for Zhao Xu and Meng Meiren herself.

The Court Bureau.

A eunuch of about forty years old, carefully holding a plate with both hands, inside is a pair of glass plates of pisces playing with pearls and mandarin ducks, following behind a team of palace maids.

"The official family is about to canonize the queen, and there has been no such celebration in the palace for a long time......"

"Yes, I have seen Meng Niangniang, she treats people very kindly, and I have never heard her beat and scold people......"

"If there is such a mother, we will be better off......"

"Don't say it, let's go quickly, the mother is still waiting......"

"I know, sister, you are from the Niangniang Palace, if there is any taboo to say to us, we can avoid it......"

"Yes, yes, we also want to serve the mother......"

"Let's go, you guys, be careful with your mouths......"

The palace maid of the consul in front of her suddenly turned her head, looked at the middle-aged eunuch, and said, "You follow closely, don't get lost." ”

The middle-aged eunuch hurriedly bowed down and said, "Don't worry, girl, you'll always follow." ”

The consul palace maid turned her head after looking at it, and a group of palace ladies continued to walk forward.

The middle-aged eunuch followed behind, his expression was cautious, his steps were cautious, he heard everything clearly, and his face was not revealed.

The palace ladies came to a small hall and went in after a brief announcement.

The middle-aged eunuch followed and entered the main hall, only to see that it was also a mess, and I don't know how many people came and went, busy and noisy.

"You go and give the mandarin duck plate to Niangniang, and then you can go back." The consul maid and the middle-aged eunuch said.

"Yes." The middle-aged eunuch hurriedly withdrew his gaze.

After the consul palace maid finished speaking, she entered a room, and they were also very busy.

The middle-aged eunuch looked around, carefully took the plate, entered the side hall, came to a screen, looked at the slender figure in the screen, and respectfully lowered his voice and said: "Niangniang, the mandarin duck plate is here." ”

The woman in the screen turned her head to look, and then her voice was soft, clean, and a little happy smile, and said, "Okay, put it down." ”

The middle-aged eunuch put it down carefully, looked up at the shadow in the screen, his eyes flickered, he struggled, gritted his teeth secretly, and then bowed down, and said: "Niangniang, do you need the villain to serve in the Kangning Palace, before you come, give instructions to the villain, and ask the villain to wait for the dispatch, and go wherever he is busy." ”

The woman behind the screen paused and said, "Then go, if the concubine needs anything, just come to me and say." ”

The middle-aged eunuch was overjoyed, and said quietly on his face: "Yes." The villain retired. ”

The middle-aged eunuch cautiously withdrew, stood outside the door, thought carefully for a while, quickly bowed his head, and headed to the Kangning Palace.

The middle-aged eunuch came to the front of the Kangning Palace, looked at the somewhat dilapidated palace gate, his eyes flashed, he didn't know when he had an extra plate of snacks in his hand, and stepped forward and said respectfully: "This father-in-law, the villain is from Meng Niangniang." ”

Meng Niangniang, naturally, is the current Meng Meiren, and the Queen Meng in the near future.

The people in the Kangning Hall naturally did not doubt it, and welcomed the middle-aged eunuch more enthusiastically.

The middle-aged eunuch took the snacks all the way to the main hall, and saw that Concubine Zhu was counting things, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Concubine Niangniang, the villain has just come out of Meng Niangniang, Niangniang wants the villain to serve wholeheartedly, if you need anything, just go to Renming Hall and say." ”

Renmyeongjeon, the residence of the queen.

Concubine Zhu naturally would not slack off on Zhao Xu's queen, that is, his wife, and said happily: "Okay, okay, you just stay, there are just a lot of things, you just run more errands, Li Fa, give a reward." ”

The middle-aged eunuch knelt down with a puff and said, "The villain is only to serve the mother, not to reward money." The mother gave the villain a reward, but she misunderstood the villain's loyalty and filial piety. ”

Concubine Zhu was stunned, is there anything you want to reward?

She didn't think much about it, and then said with a smile: "Okay, then you can go, you need money, tell Li Fa." ”

The middle-aged eunuch lowered his head, looked respectful, and said, "The villain doesn't need any money in the palace. Now that the official family is married, there are many places to use the money, so the mother will leave it to the official family. ”

Concubine Zhu was very happy to listen to the middle-aged eunuch's words, and looked at it with a smile: "Well, what I said is that you think about it." By the way, what's your name? ”

The middle-aged eunuch bowed and said, "The villain Tong Guan." ”
