Chapter Seventy-Nine: Abandoning the Car to Protect the Commander

Lu Dafang looked at the expression of the Empress Dowager Gao and had already guessed something.

After being silent for a while, he said in a hoarse voice and in a flat tone: "Official, what did you say to Niangniang?" ”

Empress Dowager Gao was still spinning her thoughts in her heart, snorted, and said, "The official family is older." ”

If it's long, it's time to be pro-government.

Lu Dafang understood, and said, "What did Niangniang say? ”

Empress Dowager Gao looked at the mosquito net in front of her and said without hiding her anger: "So far, what else can I say?" ”

Of course, Empress Dowager Gao was angry, angry at the current powerlessness.

Zhao Xu, who has mastered Kaifeng City and the Imperial Palace, can completely use her 'illness' to lock her up in Cining Palace, and it will become a nominal matter if the curtain is removed or not!

In other words, it is no longer up to her to withdraw!

Lu Dafang didn't speak, his swollen eyes showed a slit, and he looked at the Empress Dowager Gao quietly.

Empress Dowager Gao never thought that her grandson would be so bold, grasp the opportunity so well, and do things so absolutely!

Empress Dowager Gao was angry in her heart, glanced at Lu Dafang, and said, "What do you have to say?" ”

Lu Dafang raised his head and said, "It depends on what the mother and the official family think." ”

Empress Dowager Gao's eyes widened and said, "Do you want me to remove the curtain?" ”

Lu Dafang was neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "It doesn't matter whether the curtain is removed or not, as long as the mother is here, naturally everything is still up to the mother." ”

Empress Dowager Gao understood in an instant, she was still angry and didn't squeak.

Her grandson had no roots in the court, and no one listened to him. As long as she and Lu Dafang are still there, they still have the final say on a series of big and small matters in the imperial court!

However, even if the curtain is a symbol, for the Empress Dowager Gao, who has been in power for seven years, the curtain is still not something that can be easily determined, or unacceptable!

Lu Dafang didn't have any expression, bowed and waited.

Empress Dowager Gao was silent for a long time, and then said, "What do you think?" ”

Lu Dafang said casually: "The society of the country is important, and the ministers are light." ”

Empress Dowager Gao understood it, looked at the mosquito net in front of her, and frowned.

In her opinion, Wang Anshi's change of law is a great chaos in the world, endangering the society of the Great Song Dynasty, and she and many people in the Shenzong Dynasty are strongly opposed and have a firm attitude.

At that time, Lu Dafang, Fan Chunren and others were exiled, but they would rather die than retreat, and finally forced Wang Anshi to resign twice, and Emperor Shenzong retreated.

When she arrived in Yuanyou, she and Sima Guang and others won completely, exiled the officials who supported the reform, abolished the so-called New Deal, set things right, and began to repair the country that had been disturbed by Wang Anshi and others.

Now, just seven years have passed, and the young official family wants to take this road again.

At the beginning, Lu Dafang and others would rather die than retreat, but now they have half a foot in the coffin, what reason is there to retreat?

The two were silent for I don't know how long, Empress Dowager Gao turned her head to look at Lu Dafang, and said with a long sigh: "The official family gave me an ultimatum, and after the wedding, the curtain will be removed and the government will be returned." If I don't agree, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of this Cining Palace. ”

Lu Dafang lowered his head and said decisively: "No." The official family is measured and knows the severity. ”

Empress Dowager Gao looked stunned and said, "Won't it? He pried open the inner library and took the jade seal, and the future recitals will not reach me. ”

Lu Dafang has been 'cooperating' with the Empress Dowager Gao for many years, and he knows the old Empress Dowager very well, so he was quiet for a moment and said: "The Empress Dowager is still the Empress Dowager. ”

This meaning is very simple, even if the Empress Dowager Gao can't get out of the Cining Palace, even if the curtain is removed, they still believe in the Empress Dowager Gao and adhere to their common way of governing the country.

Empress Dowager Gao was somewhat satisfied in her heart and said, "How to do it?" ”

Lu Dafang said: "The ancestors made the law, the court regulations, everyone must abide by it, otherwise how can you win the trust of the world?" ”

The 'everyone' here also includes Zhao Xu, the official family of the Great Song Dynasty.

Empress Dowager Gao's expression relaxed a little, paused, and said, "For the sake of my Song Jiangshan, I can't say that I want to be a wicked person." Zhou He, sent a message to Meng Yuan to come back and take over the commander of the Guards Infantry Division, and Feng Zhengyao was transferred to the commander of the Guards Ma Military Division, saying that I knew some things in the forbidden army and asked them to rectify it. ”

Zhou He seemed to not understand, lowered his head, and said softly: "Yes." ”

Empress Dowager Gao looked at Lu Dafang again and said, "The outside affairs, especially the Sansi Yamen, please ask Lu Qing's family." ”

Lu Dafang raised his hand slowly, his voice was hoarse, and his tone was firm, and he said, "Niangniang, don't worry." ”

Empress Dowager Gao looked at him deeply and nodded slightly.

Lu Dafang stood with his hands in his hands, and there was no expression on his old face.

Empress Dowager Gao talked with Lu Dafang and made arrangements, and her heart relaxed a little.

The two continued to talk about how much was happening inside and outside the palace.

At the same time, Zhao Xu left the Cining Palace, ordered the Praetorian Guards to guard it with heavy soldiers, and returned to the Funing Palace.

As soon as he sat down, before he could take a sip of tea, Chen Pi ran over with an anxious face and said, "Official, something happened." Now there are rumors everywhere outside the palace that Su Zhe is corrupt, offering and accepting bribes, selling official positions, deducting and reselling military salaries, and it has spread all over Kaifeng......"

The teacup that Zhao Xu had just picked up was closed back with a bang, looked up at him sharply, and said, "Check it out?" ”

Chen Pi nodded and said, "The villain has been checked by the Imperial City Division, and he has a nose and eyes." ”

Zhao Xu held the teacup with a thoughtful expression.

It stands to reason that this kind of rumor is beneficial to him and can crucify Su Zhe. But this news was not spread by him, so it is very interesting to play.

Is someone speculating about his intentions and secretly exerting his efforts, intending to follow? Is it Su Zhe's political enemies who want to put him to death? Or is it a dumping within the 'old party'?

Zhao Xu's eyes narrowed, he thought about it for a while, and then looked at Chen Pi and said with a smile: "It's okay, let them pass it, you let the Imperial City Division prepare." It requires experienced detectives, good account checkers, veteran torturers, and a large prison cell that can hold hundreds of people. ”

Chen Pi didn't understand, but he didn't ask much, and said, "Yes, the villain will order them to do it." ”

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Those people in the political hall are still kneeling?" ”

Chen Pi said: "Yes, there are forbidden soldiers watching." ”

Zhao Xu picked up the teacup and took a sip, took a sip of tea, refreshed, and said: "Grandmother is sick and can't leave the palace easily, you tell Liu Heng that in order not to disturb Grandmother's rest, from today onwards, everyone needs my permission to enter and exit the Cining Palace, it's everyone!" ”

Chen Piden understood, and his scalp tightened: "Yes." ”

Zhao Xu glanced at him and said, "Let those people in the political hall go back, don't delay the business." Then tell them that the court will begin on the 29th. ”

Chen Pi couldn't help but bow his head, quietly glanced at Zhao Xu, suppressed his panic, and said, "Yes." ”

Zhao Xu took in his expression, smiled, and said, "Don't worry. At this time, what are you afraid of? ”

Chen Pi blinked, his heart suddenly relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face.

Yes, the official family has mastered Kaifeng City, who can still do what the official family can do? The official throne is stable, as long as he works hard, what is there to fear?

Zhao Xu looked up at the window, and intuitively felt that the sky was exceptionally bright today, so he couldn't help but stand up and said, "Let's go, go see Xiaoniang." ”

Chen Pi hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes." ”

The two of them had just gone out one after the other, and suddenly a yellow door came forward to salute and muttered in Chen Pi's ear.

Chen Pi's face changed slightly, and he turned to Zhao Xudao; "The official family, there are many people in Zhongshu Province who are fighting, demanding that the official family severely punish Su Zhe and return the court to a clean one."

Zhongshu Province, this is the traditional territory of Lu Dafang.

Zhao Xu's original good mood disappeared, looking at the still sky, but he didn't feel clear anymore, and said to himself: "It turns out that he abandoned the car to protect the handsome...... The dignified three envoys, Ji Xiang, were abandoned like this? ”
