Later, the Empress Dowager Quan watched the emperor's relatives follow Zhao Dongting to the main hall, and her eyes showed resentment.
Although there are only a few imperial relatives who follow Zhao Dongting, this is undoubtedly still a deep stimulation for her.
Her Xian'er is dead!
Why don't these people have the idea of justice for her?
After arriving in the main hall, Zhao Dongting did not seem very enthusiastic. Treating these royal relatives who have suffered a lot on the Mongolian Plateau is just a few polite words of care.
Naturally, the atmosphere of the banquet was not very lively.
But the more this is the case, the more these royal relatives gradually respect him.
The more arrogant Zhao Dongting looked, the more these people felt that he had confidence. And these people actually don't care about Zhao Dongting's attitude towards them at all.
They just want to be on the right side.
In short, no matter what, it is difficult for this throne to fall to these people.
After suffering all these years on the Mongolian plateau, they just want to be able to continue to be supported by the imperial court and live happily in this life.
Years of misery have brought about a great change in the mood of many people.
When the banquet was over, Zhao Dongting asked people to remove the wine and food, and asked, "Do you still have any plans to continue to be officials in the court?" โ
Through this banquet, he probably got to know all the people present.
It's just some relatives or the royal relatives who were in power at the time, and in terms of blood relationship with Zhao Dongting, they can't be regarded as real royal descendants.
Because Zhao Yu, the mentally handicapped son of heaven, was adopted, and his former brothers were not brothers. So among these people, there is not even a prince.
After listening to Zhao Dongting's words, only two people finally expressed their intention to serve the imperial court.
Zhao Dongting did not disappoint them, nor did he make them overjoyed. Neither of them was able to reinstate their official positions, although their official ranks were not low, but their real power was very small.
The rest of them are just holding the title of royal relatives. In this life, I probably won't hold power anymore.
It's all their own request. Zhao Dongting felt that he had done his best, and these people should not have any complaints.
After everyone retired, Zhao Dongting followed Concubine Yang Shufei and Le Chan to the harem.
It is necessary to greet the Empress Dowager Xie.
He can be a little arrogant, but if he doesn't even go to ask for peace, it will cause gossip in the court. When the time comes, Zhao Xian's assassination will only make a bigger fuss.
Not surprisingly, at this time, the news of Zhao Xian's assassination had already spread.
Along the way, Yang Shufei looked a little worried.
She is familiar with Zhao Dongting's temperament, and she also knows the strength of Empress Dowager Xie. It can be vaguely expected that there will be a rivalry between the two.
After all, Zhao Dongting looks quite young now, and the Empress Dowager Xie may not be willing to be an idle Empress Dowager.
Didn't she herself accidentally indulge in power?
to Xiangqing Palace.
This palace was specially prepared for Empress Dowager Xie after Zhao Dongting learned that Empress Dowager Xie and others were about to return to the dynasty.
He did the surface work very thoughtfully.
There are already janissaries guarding the outside.
Zhao Dongting and his entourage stopped at the palace gate, and Zhao Dongting said: "Go in and tell the Empress Dowager that I and the Empress Dowager have come to say goodbye." โ
The guards received the order and hurriedly ran towards the Xiangqing Palace.
Zhao Dongting suddenly had some amusement in his heart, and he didn't know if the Empress Dowager Xie would see him.
Not the best.
If he doesn't see him, he will still be his Great Song Emperor. And this Empress Dowager Xie, whatever moths are made in this harem will be under his control.
It's just that the guards quickly ran out and said, "The Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Queen Mother invites you in." โ
Zhao Dongting took a look at Concubine Yang Shu and took the lead in entering Xiangqing Palace.
When I arrived at the main hall of the palace, the Empress Dowager Xie had already changed into formal clothes.
Looking at her at this moment, she already has a completely different taste from before. People rely on clothes, Buddha relies on gold, and the Empress Dowager Xie, who is wearing the Empress Dowager's costumes, has a bit of majesty on her face.
In the end, it was the woman who once controlled the two dynasties of the Great Song Dynasty.
The Empress Dowager Quan had also changed into formal clothes and sat next to the Empress Dowager Xie.
She recognized the thigh of the Empress Dowager Xie. Because she understands that no matter how much she stirs up, she can't make any waves without the support of Empress Dowager Xie.
"The Empress Dowager is auspicious."
Zhao Dongting and Yang Shufei all gave gifts to Empress Dowager Xie.
"Sit."
Empress Dowager Xie just said the word. Then, the hall suddenly fell silent.
The rest of the royal relatives could not enter the harem, and they had been arranged to the mansion outside the palace.
Zhao Dongting looked at the Empress Dowager Quan looking at him with malicious evil in her eyes, but she sneered in her heart, and her face was impassive.
This woman is afraid that she has been carried away by hatred.
And at this time, a eunuch outside the door hurriedly ran in and said, "The Empress Dowager, the State Affairs Order Lord Lu and the Supervisor Order Master Zhang are outside to ask to see you." โ
"Xuan."
Empress Dowager Xie replied very cheerfully this time.
This made Zhao Dongting slightly stunned, and then chuckled.
Is this just entering the palace to demonstrate to yourself?
It's just that he also wants to see how Lu Xiufu and the others will choose.
He had already greeted Lu Xiufu and others before, if Lu Xiufu and others still chose to support Empress Dowager Xie under such circumstances, then he would have to endure the pain of parting his love.
This Great Song Dynasty does not need foolish and loyal ministers. Zhao Dongting really didn't like those pedantic people who always talked about the laws of their ancestors.
Anyway, Zhao Xian is dead, and this throne can only be continued by him. Even if Empress Dowager Xie gets the support of Lu Xiufu and others, it is only a matter of the size of the waves.
Zhao Dongting has never been afraid, but he is unwilling to spend a lot of time fighting for power. Because, in short, it is not good for the Great Song Society.
Soon, Lu Xiufu and others walked into the hall. Salute Empress Dowager Xie, Zhao Dongting and others in turn.
Chen Wenlong, who had asked for a farewell to the old before, also arrived.
As soon as he saluted, the old minister's eyes turned red. Seeing the Empress Dowager Xie sitting here, he was particularly excited.
"Give a seat."
Empress Dowager Xie asked people to give Lu Xiufu and others a seat.
Then, tears suddenly flowed from his eyes, "You should all know about Emperor Gong's assassination, right?" โ
Zhao Dongting was a little confused.
Are these imperial ministers of the Great Song Dynasty all drama spirits?
And a few tears of the Empress Dowager Xie really moved Lu Xiufu and others slightly.
Zhao Xian was the former Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty after all, and it was impossible for these old ministers to be indifferent to his death.
Lu Xiufu stood up and arched his hand and said: "The Empress Dowager mourns ...... Day"
Empress Dowager Xie looked at Zhao Dongting and said, "What do you have to say about this matter?" โ
Her name is Yu'er, not the emperor.
Zhao Dongting raised his eyes and said, "I have already sent Lord Wang to Xinyang to investigate, and after some time, I will give an explanation to the deceased Emperor Gong." โ
The Empress Dowager Quan seemed to be crazy suddenly, "Xian'er is the one you sent to assassinate, what else can you investigate?" โ
Her face was full of sadness, "Wang Wenfu is your person, and the results of his investigation are not what you want?" โ
"Humph!"
Zhao Dongting changed color and stood up suddenly, "Please also ask the Empress Dowager to be cautious." โ
His sudden anger made the Empress Dowager Xie a little stunned.
Zhao Dongting's eyes glared at the Empress Dowager Quan, "I know what you're thinking, you think I'm worried that Emperor Gong will fight with me for the throne when he comes back, so I sent someone to kill him, right?" Hmph, the Great Song Dynasty was forced to linger overseas back then, almost desperate, and it was I who saved the Great Song Dynasty from collapse. Essay talent, on martial arts, what is Emperor Gong's ability to be worthy of me? You're really underestimating me. I am not worried that Emperor Gong will be able to take back the throne from my hands. This throne was not snatched by me, I am worthy of my ancestors, worthy of Sheji, and worthy of the people! You can go and ask the Great Song Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty, I and Emperor Gong, who is more suitable to be in charge of the Great Song Dynasty? โ
The words were loud and clear.
All the people in the hall were stunned.
Probably no one expected that Zhao Dongting's attitude would be so tough.
Even the Queen Mother Quan, who had just opened her teeth and claws, seemed to be desperate, and she just looked at Zhao Dongting in a daze for a while.
After more than ten seconds passed, she said, "Now that Xian'er is dead, of course you can say that." โ
Yang Shufei gently tugged at the hem of Zhao Dongting's clothes.
Zhao Dongting narrowed his eyes slightly, and said something earth-shattering, "If Emperor Gong had the ability, the Great Song Dynasty would not have bowed to the Yuan Dynasty!" โ
The voice fell, and the hall changed color again.
Empress Dowager Xie's face instantly turned bruised, and she was almost so angry that she was angry.
I surrendered at the beginning, but she was listening to the government! Zhao Dongting's words are obviously saying that Zhao Xian is incompetent, but in fact, he is saying that she Xie Daoqing is incompetent.
