The Empress Dowager Meng is another strange woman in the Great Song Dynasty.

In the rebellion between King Su and King Jing, Zhao Huan once asked Cheng Chu to investigate the empress dowager of the two palaces of the Great Song Dynasty, and one of the empress dowagers was the Empress Dowager Meng.

Her grandfather was the Meizhou defense envoy, Ma Jun Du Yu Hou, and Tai Lieutenant Meng Yuan, in the seventh year of Yuan You, Meng Tianhou was Song Zhezong, that is, Zhao Xu, the elder brother of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong. Canonized as queen.

But Zhao Xu was just ten years old when he ascended the throne, and his grandmother, Empress Dowager Gao, was an extreme conservative who opposed all changes and new policies.

And Song Zhezong Zhao Xu from the age of ten to eighteen years old, in the court and in the palace, he was the marionette of the Empress Dowager Gao.

After the death of Empress Dowager Gao, Song Zhezong officially became pro-government, and he, who had deep grievances, began a crazy counterattack and pushed the conservatives to the end.

Along with the conservatives, Empress Meng was also denounced.

Because Empress Meng also took advantage of the east wind of Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Dowager Xiang to take charge of the Middle Palace, Song Zhezong was in charge, so she naturally left the Middle Palace.

Empress Dowager Meng was demoted because of this, and was placed in the Yaohua Palace where the abolished concubines and concubines lived, with the name "Huayang Sect Master", "Yuqing Miaojing Immortal Master", and the legal name "Chongzhen".

In the third year of Yuan Fu, Song Zhezong died, and the Yuan You party, headed by the Empress Dowager, raised their heads again, and Empress Meng was promoted to become the Empress Dowager again, and moved from the Yaohua Palace to the Bianjing Palace to become the empress dowager.

But Empress Dowager Xiang died of illness only nine months later, and Zhao Ji immediately took the government in person, using the Yuanyou Party Monument as the fuse to reuse Cai Jing and other new parties.

Empress Dowager Meng was implicated by this, and was once again driven out of the Bianjing Palace and lived in the Yaohua Palace again.

Then the Jin people went south, and Zhao Ji of Song Huizong was timid and incompetent to prepare Zen to make Nan Xing, and invited the memorial arch of the Empress Dowager Meng out again, and stood in the palace to appease the old party.

But Zhao Ji left in too much hurry, and the Empress Dowager Meng had not yet moved to the Bianjing Palace, and the Yaohua Palace where she lived caught fire.

At that time, the situation was turbulent, the capital was besieged, and Taiyuan was in danger of breaking the city at any time, so the Empress Dowager Meng went out of the palace to live in the private house in front of the Xiangguo Temple.

This is why Zhao Huan has never met the Empress Dowager Meng herself.

After Zhao Huan's personal expedition, the twenty-six sons of Song Huizong fled from Bianjing, and Empress Meng left Bianjing directly from the private residence of Xiangguo Temple and went to Lushan to recuperate.

This cultivation is four years, Zhao Huan has been operating for four years in the southern and northern wars, and Empress Dowager Meng is a representative of the old people of the Yuanyou party, so she naturally has been in business for four years.

The pit dug by Zhao Ji Nanxing now needs Zhao Huan to fill it.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how many seals I stamped at the beginning, how many edicts I wrote at that time, where do I know that there is still the recovery of Empress Meng, this, how good is this." Zhao Ji made a side position and said with an extremely frightened face.

He was in a hurry, and he didn't know how many edicts he had signed or how many seals he had poked, and he didn't even look at the edict to restore Empress Dowager Meng to the Empress Dowager.

Zhao Huan looked at Zhao Ji's appearance of dog meat not being served, so he was angry.

He also thought that Zhao Ji knew exactly who the opponent was, so he hid in Genyue Palace and didn't dare to move, but he didn't expect that he just smelled something, and he directly coaxed himself.

This made Zhao Huan think of the four words of the shrinking turtle.

"Lao Zhuo ate a little too much yesterday, slightly bloated, and unwell, can you go back to Genyue for the time being?" Zhao Ji looked at Zhao Huan, who was silent, and his heart was weak for a while, and he even moved his mind to slip away.

Well?

Zhao Huan was silent, did the shrunken turtle lift him up a little?

The family banquet was attended by the relatives of the Great Song Dynasty, of course, it was also divided into far and near, and most of the people on the upper floor of the banquet were Zhao Ji's brothers and his heirs.

This naturally includes Zhao Huan, who is the emperor and sits on the main seat, but there is another seat next to him.

Zhao Huan knew whose seat it was, it wasn't that Zhu Lian wanted to sit here, Zhu Lian was a concubine, not a queen, she wasn't a queen for a day, so she couldn't sit on the side of the main seat for a day.

This seat is the seat of the Empress Dowager Meng.

People, it's been here for a long time.

Zhao Huan didn't like this kind of family banquet very much, and he was absent every time, this time led by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the family banquet of the group, as soon as the emperor was coming, these princes and county kings ran faster than anyone else and rushed to this banquet building.

Only the Empress Dowager Meng was missing, and everyone was waiting for Queen Meng to come over.

"The emperor still focuses on his body, and he mainly recuperates on weekdays, so let the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital go over to show the emperor." Zhao Huan agreed with Zhao Ji's statement and allowed him to escape from the battle.

"Zhao Ying, are you ready for the banquet?" Zhao Huanpi asked with a smile.

This time, the old party led by Empress Dowager Meng made a comeback again, and held most of the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty in their hands, and they were menacing.

Zhao Ying whispered: "It's all dishes from the Shangshan Building outside the Xihua Gate, just wait for the Queen Mother to arrive, and you can open the banquet." ”

"Do you need to pass food from outside the palace?" Zhao Huan suddenly stopped holding the Seed Master's Seed Master's Record in his hand.

Zhao Ying shook his head and said: "Since the official's family returned to Beijing, there was a case of the haunting of Wenhua Building, and before the ghost was caught, the food ingredients of the Imperial Diet Bureau were really a little uneasy. ”

"A few eunuchs who tried the dishes have died."

Zhao Huan took a deep breath, sat up straight, nodded and said, "Then pass the food from Shangshan Building." Why didn't you report it? ”

Zhao Huan knew that the situation was tense and the old party fought back fiercely, but he never expected that in this palace, Zhao Ying's internal servants and provinces would die to the point where a few eunuchs tried vegetables.

"Someone in the Imperial Diet Bureau is pressuring this matter, and the minister only learned that there was a dead person today, and the first bite that the official family ate when they returned to Beijing was the dish passed down from Shangshan Lou." Zhao Ying wiped the sweat from her forehead.

If it weren't for the haunting that made Zhao Ying have a heart, and he died trying the dishes, I am afraid that it would not be the eunuch of the Inner Servant Province, but he Zhao Ying himself.

Zhao Huan nodded and rubbed his face vigorously.

Empress Dowager Meng came.

Meng Tianhou wears a dragon and phoenix bead crown, wears a colorful Zhai pattern robe, the collar, sleeves, and skirt are all inlaid with red cloud dragon patterns, the waist is decorated with dark blue to cover the knees, and the white jade double wear and jade ribbon rings and other ornaments are hung, and she wears green socks and green scarfs under it, and sits on a soft sedan chair carried by eight people.

From far to near.

There were many servants in front of her and behind her, and before anyone arrived, the eunuch who spread the voice had already spread from Funing Palace to this banquet building.

Cao Xian arranged for Zhao Huan to live in the Funing Palace before she left for Yanjing, and within a few days after that, she was forced to move to a small building in the [elegant and chic] again.

The vacated Funing Palace was naturally given to the Empress Dowager.

"Zhao Ying, take a look, you see, when people travel here, there are dozens of servants before and after, big sashes, canopies, and bird cages hanging on the big canopy carried by eight people. What is it? This is dignity and elegance. ”

"I go out every day, four horses pull a modified car left by the Tang Dynasty, it's over, learn a little!" Zhao Huan said to Zhao Ying with a smile.
