Chapter 44: The End
Empress Dowager Gao listened to Lu Dafang's words with a calm face.
Only then did she wake up that the official family of Funing Hall was rapidly losing control, and there were already signs that she couldn't contain it.
She remembered a few things, the first thing was that she threw away a few things from the Divine Sect, and Zhao Xu stubbornly found them back, and when she questioned, Zhao Xu rarely put out a sentence: "How can you give up the things of your father?" ’
Empress Dowager Gao was alerted to this, and her grandson might not be the emperor she wanted him to be.
In the future, she carefully observed and found that her grandson was quietly reading the content of Wang Anshi's changes, and the annotations were mostly 'admiration', which made Empress Dowager Gao completely understand that she wanted to reverse this grandson's idea more and more, and wanted to be a Renzong, not a Shenzong.
It's just that with one of her coma, this young official is quite decisive, and she took the opportunity to get the power of the forbidden army in the palace, and it is not so easy to control it at will.
If there was no forbidden army in the palace, the matter of Zichen Hall today would definitely not have happened.
Then, she remembered the scene when his son Shenzong was in power, and he used Wang Anshi to change the law and cause chaos in the world, her brows frowned again, and her eyes became firm.
Empress Dowager Gao's thoughts were a little confused, and she was silent, and the three phases below also had their own expressions and thoughts.
Today, the official family uses the privy envoy as a pedal, and if it cannot be stopped, I am afraid that the unity of the people inside and outside the court will change in the future. is to change the law again, I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will really shake the mountains, and the society will be in danger!
After a long time, Empress Dowager Gao came back to her senses, and said with a sinking face: "What do you say? ”
Han Zhongyan didn't speak, Lu Dafang didn't open his mouth easily, and there was only Su Zhe, he thought about it and thought about it, so he had to say: "Zhang Shangying, Cai Jing is transferred back, as long as it is empty, it will be fine." ”
His idea is very simple, that is, to stabilize Zhao Xu, and not let Zhao Xu 'cause trouble again', he has already left a privy envoy, is it difficult to be the next one?
Empress Dowager Gao frowned, dissatisfied with Su Zhe's words, looked at Lu Dafang, and said, "Lu Qing's family? ”
Lu Dafang's old face had no expression, and his cloudy eyes couldn't see anything, he was silent for a long time, slowly raised to Zhou He, and said hoarsely: "Official, did you mention the big wedding and Concubine Zhu?" ”
Zhou He was stunned, bowed and said, "No." ”
Su Zhe, Han Zhongyan was a little puzzled, why did Lu Dafang suddenly change the topic?
However, the Empress Dowager Gao was thoughtful and said, "You mean, the official family is still measured?" ”
Lu Dafang turned around, saluted to the Empress Dowager Gao, and said, "Official, today's actions should be thoughtful. ”
Empress Dowager Gao continued to keep her face calm, but her heart was slightly relieved.
She is not afraid that Zhao Xu will be thoughtful, but she is afraid that he will come wantonly and have no sense of proportion.
After thinking for a while, Empress Dowager Gao looked at Lu Dafang again and said, "Say it." ”
Lu Dafang lowered his eyes, and said in a hoarse and steady voice: "Agree to the official's request." Take advantage of the big wedding to slowly dismember the palace guards. It can also allow the official family to gradually become familiar with the government and politics, compare and change the law, and after a few years, the official family will be able to understand the good intentions of the mother. ”
On the one hand, he dismembered Zhao Xu's dependence, and on the other hand, he used reality to 'influence', a two-pronged approach.
Su Zhe, Han Zhongyan listened, and nodded secretly after understanding, this ruler is an old man who seeks the country, and he is really powerful!
Empress Dowager Gao thought about Zhao Xu's wedding, and there were so many things inside and outside the palace, but it was a logical excuse to quietly mobilize and disperse the palace guards, and when Zhao Xu reacted, it was too late.
Empress Dowager Gao calmly thought about the matter before and after, and then nodded: "That's good." The official family's wedding should be done as soon as possible. The matter of Concubine Zhu must not be mentioned again. In addition, the big wedding is about to happen, and the official family should take good care of the body. Zhou He, do you understand? ”
Zhou He hurriedly bowed down and said, "The villain understands." ”
After saying that, he turned around and left, heading to the Funing Hall again.
Su Zhe exhaled softly, and finally had a proper finish.
Thinking about it, he glanced at Han Zhongyan again, this price is not small, the privy envoy Zhishi!
Seeing that it was about to end, Han Zhongyan had a thousand words in his heart, but he couldn't say anything when he smelled the faint smell that couldn't be dispersed.
Lu Dafang has white hair, age spots on his face, swollen eyes, and his expression has not moved for thousands of years.
Zhou He quickly came to the Funing Palace, and said with a stiff smile to Zhao Xu: "Official, the villain went to the political hall to ask, Cai Jing and Zhang Shangying's transfer letter has been sent out, and he should return to Beijing in the near future." ”
Zhao Xu stared at Zhou He, his heart was bright, he smiled quietly, and said, "Well, it's still okay to do things in the political hall." ”
Zhou He saw that Zhao Xu didn't chase after him, and then put forward other requirements, secretly relaxed a little, and hurriedly said: "Official, do you have any other arrangements for the big wedding?" ”
Zhao Xu's price, Empress Dowager Gao, and the three ministers agreed, and it was their turn to make a request.
Zhao Xu had been waiting for a long time, although he admired the future Empress Meng very much, he still pretended to hesitate for a while, and said, "No." ”
Seeing this, Zhou He paused, and said with a smile: "Yes." That must be a mother's concern, the official family can rest assured, and it is important to have a good life and recuperate. ”
Zhao Xu smiled slightly and said, "What the Huangmen Order said is true. Chen Pi, send the Yellow Gate Order on my behalf. ”
Chen Pi stepped forward, and Zhou Hego hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, how dare the villain ask the official family to send it, the villain will go to the official family to reply." ”
Zhao Xu watched Zhou He leave quickly, squinting, and exhaled softly in his heart.
That's it!
Although he has mastered the forbidden army, he only has the forbidden army, and there are too few chips!
Chen Pi sent Zhou He away, hurriedly came back, and said with some excitement: "The official family, now that there are people outside the official family, don't you have to be so restrained?" ”
"It depends on how it is used." Zhao Xu's eyes flickered, and he was also a little excited in his heart, thinking about how to use Zhang Shangying and Cai Jing.
Zhou He returned to Cining Palace, and said to the Empress Dowager Gao, and everyone's expressions gradually eased.
As long as this official still knows how to measure, they have a lot of room to operate.
The four of them talked for a while, and the three phases came out of the Cining Hall one after another.
Han Zhongyan stood in front of the steps, watching the sun about to set, and couldn't help but sigh.
Who would have thought that he, who had just visited the prime minister, would return home so soon?
Lu Dafang, Su Zhe glanced at him and did not say anything to comfort him.
What else can be said?
……
At the same time, inside and outside Kaifeng Mansion, Han Xianggong's 'glorious deeds' are circulating.
"Have you heard? Just after noon today, in the Zichen Palace, Han Xianggong was incontinent! ”
"It's not, it is said that he was scolded by the official family and scolded to incontinence!"
"What did Han Xianggong do to make the official family so angry? Don't even give time to go to the toilet? ”
"Who can know this, only those ministers know it......"
"But ah, this matter has become a topic of conversation after dinner, and Han Xianggong is afraid that he will not be able to continue to stay in Tokyo."
"If you don't have a face for anyone, other people can go to other places to avoid it, where else can Han Xianggong hide?"
Teahouses, wine shops, tile stacks, and such discussions are everywhere.
On a boat heading south, Meng Tang and a few friends were preparing to go on a study tour in preparation for next spring.
But what they are talking about is not poetry and songs, nor is it about the wind and snow, but about 'Han Xianggong's incontinence'.
One of them sighed: "Han Xianggong is from a famous family, he has a great future, and he is famous in the history books, but now he doesn't know what name he left......"
"If you want me to say, you deserve it! The official family held a dynasty, no one went, the official family sat for two hours, Han Xianggong actually said 'forgot'? Isn't that ridiculous! ”
"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous! No matter what, it's always okay to spread the word, right? The palace is so big, coming and going, no one knows that the official family is waiting in the Zichen Palace? Even if Han Xianggong didn't know, didn't anyone know him? What about the other ministers and eunuchs? ”
"If I were an official, I would never spare him like this! A courtier can even be contemptuous of a holy king, what else do they dare not do? ”
Everyone was indignant and generously stated, and suddenly one person noticed that Meng Tang had not spoken, and couldn't help but say: "Brother Meng, you are also a relative of the emperor, do you know any specific news?" ”
The corners of Meng Tang's mouth twitched, and his face stiffened: "I don't know...... I don't know."
Saying this, Meng Tang's heart twitched vigorously.
He knows more than anyone else!
But he didn't dare to say a word, the empress dowager in the palace was intimidating, and the official couldn't afford to provoke it!
Don't see that? One of the three phases, a high-powered privy envoy, has come to such an end!
And most of the eyes of the officials in Kaifeng City are also staring at the palace at this moment, flickering between the Cining Hall and the Funing Palace.
The official family suddenly became powerful, and sent the privy envoy Han Xianggong back to his hometown with one move, and the government and the opposition were shaken, who can despise it?
Some people's minds are floating, one is the empress dowager who has been in power for seven or eight years, and the emperor who shows his edge, how to choose?
Others saw the light in their eyes: the Empress Dowager was over sixty years old and the emperor's grandmother!
The emperor is only seventeen years old!
