Chapter 645

"Your Majesty, what kind of mood are you feeling now?" After all the important ministers of the court left the Spring and Autumn Palace, the Empress Dowager, who no longer needed to pretend to be haggard, asked Zhao Xu with a narrow smile.

"The grandson feels very depressed, although the grandson also knows that they are ill-intentioned, but I have to admit that what they said does have some truth, but it is just ......"

"Their teachings are only for words, not for real fulfillment. Don't be overwhelmed by the eloquence of these ministers. Hearing this, Gao Tao couldn't help but smile and patted Zhao Xu's hand and patiently explained.

"The mourning family has dealt with them for so many years, and they know their thoughts and intentions very well, but it's a pity that they are wrong, the mourning family will no longer stand on anyone's side, because, from tomorrow, Your Majesty, you are the only ruler of the Great Song Dynasty."

"Imperial Grandmother......" Hearing this, seeing the love and encouragement in the eyes of the imperial grandmother, Zhao Xu suddenly felt that his eyes were hot, and he almost shed tears.

"You are the son of heaven of my Great Song Dynasty, when joy and anger are invisible, Mount Tai collapses and his face does not change." Gao Taotao's eyes couldn't help but be a little red, and he lightly said in his throat.

Zhao Xu looked at the Empress Dowager and nodded vigorously.

The next day, the sun rarely came out, and this day was the first day of the tenth year of Yuanyou, the day of New Year's Day. The sky has just brightened, but the entire Tokyo Bianliang of the Great Song Dynasty is already full of people, even in the palace.

And because today is New Year's Day, this is the first day of the New Year of the Great Song Dynasty, which is actually the New Year of the later generations, but the later generations have a Western Barbarian calendar.

This distinguishes the New Year of the Lunar Calendar from the New Year of the Western Barbarian Calendar, which is why the Lunar New Year is called the Spring Festival, and the New Year of the Western Barbarian Calendar is called New Year's Day.

Therefore, the place where the first great court meeting of the new year was held was naturally held in the main hall of the Great Song Palace: the Daqing Palace.

The Zichen Hall in the north of the Daqing Hall is the front hall of the Great Song Dynasty Emperor. The monthly court meeting of the New Year's Moon, the congratulation at the completion of the suburban temple ceremony, and the reception of the envoys of various countries are all held in the Zichen Palace. And the vertical arch hall on the west side of the Qing Hall is the place where the emperor listens to the government on weekdays.

In the Daqing Palace, the imperial case of the Son of Heaven is in front, and the Empress Dowager Gao Tao lives behind her, and there is a curtain hanging in the middle to Yu the Empress Dowager to listen to the government.

The Vertical Arch Hall that deals with government affairs on weekdays is different, the Empress Dowager is from the west side, and the young son of heaven sits on the east side, and the ministers are divided into two shifts.

This is why Zhao Xu used to be helpless and saw that ministers liked to pout old chrysanthemums and shake them around at him.

The Daqing Hall and the Zichen Hall are different, these two halls are deep enough, so in this case, the Empress Dowager generally sits behind the Son of Heaven, and the two are separated by curtains.

When the ministers entered His Royal Highness Daqing, when they saw that the Son of Heaven was already sitting behind the imperial case, and the curtain behind him was still there, some ministers couldn't help but show a stunned look, and some people were relieved, but the vast majority of the courtiers knew very well that the New Year's Day court meeting had just begun, and it was still early to remove the curtain or not.

After the ministers entered the court to pay homage, the proclamator held the expression in his hand and began to read aloud the expression of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to heaven and the subjects of the whole country.

When all this was over, the Empress Dowager Gao behind the curtain cleared her throat unexpectedly. "Xu Degong ......"

"The old slave is here." Xu Degong's heart sank, and he quickly replied loudly.

"Come, read this decree for the mourning family......" Gao Tao took a deep breath, took out the decree that had already been drawn up from his sleeve, and handed it to Xu Degong.

The ministers of the court looked at each other one after another, and all of this seemed to have a thought in everyone's hearts, and finally came.

With the sound of Xu Degong's shrill voice with a hint of trill, the Empress Dowager Gao Tao was determined to withdraw the curtain and no longer listen to the government, and Zhao Xu, the son of heaven who had already married and represented the adulthood, came to the court to listen to the government and take charge of the authority of the Great Song Dynasty.

Of course, the gist of what Yi Zhi said was that the Empress Dowager was old and dizzy, and over the years, her health had been poor, and there was no way to ensure that she was in charge of such a difficult job as the authority of the Great Song Dynasty.

In addition, the current Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, since he ascended the throne at the age of nine, has always been very diligent and studious, respects teachers, and conscientiously and diligently learns the law of governance.

It has been many years, and now, the Son of Heaven has been married, and the big wedding naturally means that the Son of Heaven has officially come of age.

This is not only in line with convention, but also the control of the ancestors.

And the more I listened, the more MMP those old party members could only have one strength in their hearts, well, what did the old party advocate? Isn't it the ancestral family law?

The ancestral family law cannot be easily changed, in this case, the empress dowager withdrew the curtain, it is to follow the old system of the ancestors, if any of you dare to jump out again at this time to oppose the removal of the curtain, then you still shout to abide by the old party of the ancestral family law?

When Liu Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, Jiang is really still old and spicy, and the killer move of the Empress Dowager is almost incomprehensible.

This also means that the Empress Dowager has no intention of going, so as not to be coaxed by the ministers again, she simply took out the ancestral family law to suppress these old party ministers, so that they have nothing to say.

Although the Empress Dowager has undergone certain changes in her attitude towards the old party since the beginning of the year, she has been relatively gentle and tactful in handling problems and government affairs.

The young son of heaven is a very typical radical, although for more than a year, he has gradually become calm, and it is very rare to have a heated argument with the ministers when the court is discussing politics, and even leave the scene in anger.

However, the new emperor is in charge of the dynasty, I am afraid that it will soon set off a storm that will make the entire Great Song Dynasty turbulent......

Thinking of this, Liu Zhi could only shake his head helplessly, he was powerless to stop such a result.

At that time, I don't know what kind of revenge the old party bosses who have been in the countryside and the wilderness for several years will carry out with the anger that has accumulated in their hearts for so many years.

And the important ministers of the old party of the Manchu Dynasty, I am afraid that it will not be long before they will follow in the footsteps of the new party of the past and be degraded one after another.

The moment Xu Degong finally finished reading out the Empress Dowager's decree, before everyone could react, Gao Tao withdrew the curtain with a loud shout.

Soon, the curtain that had been hanging between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty for several years finally completed its historical mission and slowly fell to the ground.

Seeing Zhao Xu, who had already left the imperial case and was facing him, Gao Taotao's heart warmed, and he shook his head slowly towards Zhao Xu, stopping Zhao Xu's urge to go up the ladder.
