Zhao Xu walked on the way to the Qingshou Palace, still thinking in his heart.

The etiquette of the Song Dynasty became more and more stringent, especially for him as an emperor. Not to mention the Empress Dowager Gao, he can already see the faces of the bigwigs in the outer court very clearly.

The road was very quiet, except for the footsteps of a group of people, there was no sound.

Before he reached the Qingshou Palace, Chu You suddenly ran over quickly, glanced behind Zhao Xu, and whispered in Zhao Xu's ear: "Official, Meng Yuan is outside the palace gate, I want to see the Empress Dowager." ”

Here it comes!

Zhao Xu's face was calm, he thought for a moment, and said, "He broke into the palace?" ”

Chu You said solemnly: "No, but he brought soldiers and horses, which looks like breaking into the palace." By the way, King Yan is also here. ”

"King Yan?"

Zhao Xu was stunned, and immediately remembered that this was his second uncle Zhao Hao, the younger brother of his father Shenzong's half-father.

"He's also coming......"

Zhao Xu's eyes narrowed, this is the person who was pushed up by Cai Qu, Cai Jing and others at the beginning, and almost snatched his throne, and has been imprisoned in Kaifeng by Empress Dowager Gao in recent years.

So, did Zhao Hao jump out at this time, intentionally, deliberately, or in collusion with someone?

Zhao Xu knew all kinds of filthiness in the inheritance of the throne of the Song Dynasty, and he didn't dare to despise it, looked at Chen Pi, and said, "Is Meng Yuan a grandmother?" ”

Chen Pi recalled carefully for a while, and said: "It should be, the Meng family and the Gao family have in-laws, and Meng Yuan was single-handedly promoted by the Empress Dowager, and it is said that he will soon take over the Yamen of the Guards and Military Division." ”

Zhao Xu pondered Chen Pi's words, and said to Chu You: "How many people do you control now?" If Meng Yuan kills in, can he resist until dawn? ”

At dawn, these people can't succeed, and those who are watching will not be able to sit still, and the scales will quickly fall to Zhao Xu, the emperor, under the nameless division.

Chu You was calm, and said in a moment: "Official, it's too rushed, the villain has already mobilized all the credible people, and there are definitely about a thousand people who can be called, and then give the villain half a day, and by noon tomorrow, he will definitely be able to control the palace!" ”

Chu You's meaning is very clear, a thousand people, even if they don't consider the internal chaos, can't guard the palace.

Zhao Xu took a deep breath, knowing that the most critical moment was coming, his heart was like lightning, and said, "Chen Pi, you go to Zhou He, let him go to see Meng Yuan, and drag him down." Chu You, you lead the troops to the gate of the palace, if Meng Yuan really breaks through, he will defend me at any cost! ”

Chen Pi and Chu You immediately responded, turned around and left quickly.

They also knew that if Meng Yuan really wanted to break into the palace, then things would change!

Zhao Xu gritted his teeth fiercely, the corners of his face twitched, looked in the direction of Qingshou Palace, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Heng, come with me." ”

Keju is good at long-distance running, and Liu Heng, who has a lot of eyes, immediately responded and said, "Obey the orders of the official." ”

Zhao Xu tilted his neck, his gaze was resolute, and he strode towards the Qingshou Palace.

If it really comes to the last resort, extreme things, he Zhao Xu dares to do it!

When I came to the front of the Qingshou Palace, the door was closed, and there was no sound inside, and there was no light at all.

Liu Heng ordered someone to open the door, and Zhao Xu took people and went straight to the main hall.

As Zhao Xu approached, the main hall suddenly turned on the light, and a middle-aged woman who looked like she was in her early thirties, sitting upright, quietly looking at Zhao Xu's group of people who were approaching.

Zhao Xu walked closer and looked at this 'mother', still thinking in his heart.

This 'mother' is naturally not his biological mother, but her mother-in-law, and in terms of etiquette, this is his mother.

This mother-in-law is ambitious, and has a unpredictable relationship with Meng Yuan, who broke into the palace outside, and Zhao Hao, the king of Yan, Zhao Xu must make a quick decision and cut off all possible thoughts of those people!

"Official, why don't you give a salute to the mourning family today?" He spoke to the Queen Mother, with a joke on his face.

Zhao Xu heard the sharpness and a hint of trembling in her voice, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, why haven't you slept so late?" ”

Empress Dowager Xiang looked at Zhao Xu, and said in a calm tone: "The mourning family misses your father and can't sleep, get up and put incense on him and talk." ”

Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, and then he smelled a faint scent of sandalwood in the room, but then his heart moved violently, his eyes flashed, and a sincere smile appeared on his face.

He's got a way!

The Empress Dowager Xiang looked at Zhao Xu's sudden smile, her expression was slightly condensed, and she said, "I heard that the Empress Dowager is sick, didn't the official family go to see it?" ”

Zhao Xu sat down on the side, and said with a very relaxed and comfortable smile: "Don't worry, the queen mother, the imperial doctor said, just sleep well, and you can wake up tomorrow." Queen Mother, are you really not worried about what Concubine Wu Xian will say? ”

Empress Dowager Xiang's gaze changed slightly, and then returned to normal in an instant, and said lightly: "What did she say, does it have anything to do with the mourning family?" ”

Zhao Xu smiled more and said, "What about my little mother?" Her prescription for the tonic didn't come out of nowhere. ”

Xiang Empress Dowager said more and more plainly: "How did she come here, what does it have to do with me?" ”

Zhao Xu stared at the Empress Dowager Xiang and said, "I never said that it had anything to do with the queen mother, why is the queen mother so anxious to clear it up?" ”

Empress Dowager Xiang couldn't hide it, and snorted coldly in a hurry, "If it weren't for that old woman, do you think you could come to me?" What if you all knew? I am the married couple of the former emperor, the queen canonized by the golden book treasure seal! Don't say it's you, what can the old woman do to me? Is there a mother harming a child in the world? Is there a queen mother who abolishes the queen mother? Even if you don't care about that, don't you want the royal face? Didn't the Great Song Dynasty ignore it? ”

Zhao Xu listened to the repeated questions of the Queen Mother, and was silent for a while, and he was also a little relieved.

No wonder things went well tonight, grandmother Empress Dowager Gao obviously prevented the Empress Dowager from doing things, and made preparations in advance, cut off the wings of the Empress Dowager Xiang in the palace, and imprisoned her here.

Zhao Xu thought that the gate of the palace might be urgent, and he didn't have time to talk nonsense with the Empress Dowager Xiang, and said, "Queen Mother, just said that you miss your father?" ”

Empress Dowager Xiang looked at Zhao Xu, sneered, and said, "Do you want to send me to see him?" Do you dare? Killing a mother with a son is a great rebellion! Even that old woman can't tolerate you, let alone the world! Don't be complacent, that old woman is almost seventy years old, and she won't live long, even if she survives tonight, she may not survive this year. As soon as she dies, the one who listens to the government will still be a mourning family! ”

The Zhao family of the Song Dynasty is also wonderful, to all kinds of relatives, the feudal town is strictly guarded, but women are constantly interfering in politics, the Song Dynasty from front to back nearly three hundred years, there are nearly ten harem empress dowagers, empress dowagers!

This is simply incredible, and other dynasties are far from comparable!

The predecessors did a good job, and the latecomers were also ambitious and wanted to emulate their predecessors.

Zhao Xu thought that in history, when the Empress Dowager Xiang overrode public opinion and helped Zhao Ji ascend the throne, Zhao Ji was already nineteen years old.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but shake his head secretly, worried about the palace gate, so he said directly: "Since the queen mother misses her father so much, as a son, she can't turn a blind eye, please move the queen mother elsewhere." ”

Empress Dowager's face changed slightly, and she said, "You want to kill me?" Or imprison me? ”

Although the Empress Dowager Xiang is afraid, she is not too afraid, she is the empress dowager of the dynasty, and the empress dowager cannot abolish her, the etiquette is not in line; Zhao Xu can't either, and etiquette is not allowed.

can't abolish her, let alone kill her, in this way, she has some fearlessness.

Liu Heng stood not far away, he had already understood the meaning of Zhao Xu's words before he came, and when it was a last resort, Liu Heng would do something to the Queen Mother!

Zhao Xu naturally had no intention of abolishing or killing the Queen Mother, stood up, and said lightly: "Send the queen mother to a place closest to the father, come here, clean up for the queen mother, and leave the palace early tomorrow morning." ”
