Nothing!

Four words, echoing in the middle of the road.

Su Song became more and more silent.

He felt that something might really have happened that made this official so angry that he would rarely say such abnormal and radical words.

The corners of Empress Meng's mouth moved, and she hesitated whether to speak and play a round to prevent the emperor from entering a 'rupture'.

At this moment, Zhou He hurriedly ran over, stumbled, tripped over the threshold, rolled in, knelt on the ground, and cried.

Zhao Xu was angry, looking at his actions, his expression changed suddenly, and he stood up violently.

Queen Meng was still stunned, but she reacted suddenly, and her pretty face changed sharply.

Su Song's hand trembled, turned his head to look at Zhou He, and said in a trembling voice: "The Empress Dowager ......"

"Woo ......"

Zhou He knelt on the ground, his whole body trembled, and he couldn't say a word.

Zhao Xu kicked off the stool directly and ran towards the Cining Palace.

Empress Meng's pretty face turned pale and hurriedly followed.

Very quickly, the entire palace was alarmed, and Concubine Zhu was not much slower than Zhao Xu, and came to Cining Palace.

Inside the Cining Temple.

There was silence, the yellow door, and the sobs of the palace maids were inaudible.

Empress Dowager Gao was lying on the bed, her face was still ruddy, but she was out of breath.

The imperial doctor knelt behind Zhao Xu and the others, trembling, his face full of fear.

Empress Dowager Gao fell asleep for several days, but she couldn't wake up after all.

Concubine Zhu stood in front of the bed, her expression complicated, and she wept silently.

This mother-in-law has always been strong and doesn't like her, especially when her son becomes an official, and he has become the object of frequent lessons.

Concubine Zhu is a very traditional woman, who keeps to herself, and just wants to live a good life for her and her children, but even so, she failed to do so.

Empress Meng's pretty face was pale, standing next to Zhao Xu, her eyes were red.

She is Empress Dowager Gao's favorite 'daughter-in-law', and Empress Dowager Gao once said that she is very similar to Empress Dowager Gao when she was young.

Empress Meng's status in the palace is very special, she is already crumbling, even if she has an heir, she is trembling and walking on thin ice.

Now, the Empress Dowager Gao is gone.

If you want to say the most complicated, I have touched Zhao Xu.

This grandmother, perhaps to prevent the recurrence of the old things during the Yingzong period, was worried about following the old path of the Empress Dowager Cao, and the suppression of him was too harsh, and it was extremely harsh.

By last year's successful seizure of power, the relationship between the two was complicated and delicate.

Now, Empress Dowager Gao Bintian, Zhao Xu's heart is incomprehensible.

"It's none of your business, let's all go out."

For a long time, Zhao Xu sat on the edge of the bed and waved his hand to the imperial doctor, Huangmen, the palace, etc.

A group of people quietly withdrew, leaving only the old Zhao family.

Concubine Zhu had red eyes, and stepped forward to sort out the clothes and hair of the Empress Dowager Gao, silently.

Empress Meng pondered for a while, walked in quietly, took out a hairpin, and said softly: "Niangniang, this is the Empress Dowager's favorite." ”

Concubine Zhu glanced at her, took it, and plugged it in for Empress Dowager Gao.

Zhao Xu watched silently, and his heart was difficult to calm down for a while.

The two women were busy working, and the death knell in the palace rang as scheduled.

Cai Bian, who was originally in the Qingwa house, raised his head suddenly, listened to the bell, looked at the scribe who ran over in a hurry, and said, "How many times?" ”

The scribe was a little flustered and said, "Ninety-nine...... It's the Empress Dowager......"

Cai Bian frowned, and his expression was silent.

Empress Dowager Gao is destined to be a name that cannot be bypassed.

Since Yuanyou, too many things have happened, involving too many people and things.

Just saying 'abolishing the new law' is enough to affect the fortunes of the Great Song Dynasty!

Empress Dowager Gao can't get around it for too many people, and even more so for the 'New Party'.

The 'New Party' has been justifying the 'New Law' and the deceased 'New Party' bosses, and has never given up on the attempt to pursue Sima Guang, Lu Dafang, and even Empress Dowager Gao.

Now, the real leader of the 'old party' has passed away, Wang Anshi's son-in-law, and the second-in-command of the current 'new party', Cai Bian has countless thoughts in his heart, and there is no joy of revenge, let alone schadenfreude.

He thought silently for a long time and said, "Send a message to Zhang Zihou and let him go back to Beijing." ”

"Yes." The scribe hurriedly responded, his face still worried.

The death of Empress Dowager Gao is predictable in the eyes of many people, after all, she is close to Gu Xi and has been sick for a long time.

But for most people in the government and the opposition, her death will be sudden!

Now that the government and the opposition are boiling, as soon as this news comes out, more waves will inevitably pour out, and the attacks on the imperial court, and even the slander of the official family after that proverb will go to a higher level!

Cai Bian thought for a while, stood up, said with an indifferent face, "Su Xianggong is still in the palace, right?" Invite him to the Cining Hall with him. ”

"Yes." The scribe responded and hurriedly went to inform.

Not long after, the courtiers outside the palace all came and gathered outside the Cining Palace.

Chen Pi quietly walked in, stood next to Zhao Xu, and said in a low voice: "Official, all Langjun are here." ”

Zhao Xu looked at Concubine Zhu, who was still busy, Empress Meng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and then at Empress Dowager Gao, who was silent for a while, stood up, and walked outside the palace.

Su Song stood at the front, and he was still the ruler of the court.

Su Song never thought that on the day he was leaving, Empress Dowager Gao would suddenly be in the sky.

Although it has been almost a year since the Empress Dowager Gao withdrew the curtain and returned to power, there are still countless people in the world who are looking at her, and her sudden death will still have an unpredictable impact on the court situation, the government and the opposition and the entire national government.

Su Song looked at Zhao Xu's expressionless face, it was difficult to guess his true thoughts, and raised his hand and said, "Official, please mourn and change." ”

Cai Bian, Li Qingchen, Lai Zhishao and others raised their hands and said the same thing.

Their expressions were calm, and they couldn't tell what kind of state of mind they were.

Zhao Xu didn't want to speak for a while, nodded and said, "I'll leave it to you." ”

After Zhao Xu finished speaking, he turned back to Cining Palace.

'Leave it to you' is about a series of things after the death of Empress Dowager Gao.

"Minister's order." Su Song and the others raised their hands in response.

The funeral of the Empress Dowager, no matter how frugal it is, will not be an easy task.

The heavy responsibility present, looking at Zhao Xu's back, his expression slowly changed.

The death of Empress Dowager Gao is a 'happy' thing for many of them.

Empress Dowager Gao died of illness, Su Song Zhishi, which will have an extremely significant impact on the court situation, which means that the court situation since the beginning of Yuan You has completely changed!

This will be an unprecedented opportunity for the 'New Party'!

Cai Bian silently calculated the court situation, glanced at Su Song in front of him, and said, "Please also ask Su Xianggong to stay for two days and wait for Zhang Xianggong to return to Beijing." ”

Li Qingchen and the others also looked at him, this old man is still very useful at this time, at least his prestige can hold down a lot of things, at least, they still need time, wait for Zhang Duan to come back, and successfully complete the handover and transition of the imperial court.

Su Song glanced at him, then at the others.

The death of Empress Dowager Gao is a direct announcement. The defeat of the 'old party' was announced, and there was no more 'old party' at the highest level of the imperial court.

Today's situation is very different from that of Xining.

There is no empress dowager in the harem, the empress dowager, and there is no Sima Guang and Lu Dafang in the court. And the officials in the palace are more determined than Emperor Shenzong, Zhang Dian is not Wang Anshi, he is more radical and domineering.
