Chapter 311: The Political Legacy Left by His Father (Part 3)
Chapter 311
Zhao Xu raised his head and saw that Zhao Ji had stepped into the hall, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
"Eleven Lang is here again, haha, you kid, you used to not enter the palace once for ten days and half a month, but now it's good, I can see you come to the door almost every day, don't you think about coming to Brother Jiu and I here to shake my head and go to the Queen Mother's side?"
"The younger brother has seen the official family, and the younger brother came over today, not only to ask the official family for peace, but also because there is one thing that I want to ask the official family for help." Zhao Ji smiled a little embarrassedly, and then looked at Zhao Xu and said.
"Let's take a look." Zhao Xu put down the pen that was practicing calligraphy, picked up the dragon and phoenix tea on the table, and sipped it.
"You know about the minister's brother's pseudonym participating in the imperial examination, but now, there is a royal history who wants to use this matter to impeach the minister's brother, and the minister's brother is frightened, so he specially came over to explain one or two ...... to the official."
"Someone is going to impeach you?" Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly. "Those guys from the Yushitai like to bite indiscriminately, since that's the case, then that's it, anyway, Shishilang, your participation in the imperial examination is just a game."
Seeing Zhao Xu's casual and disapproving look, it really didn't surprise Mr. Wushan's previous expectations, Zhao Ji's heart couldn't help but admire Wang Yang more and more.
As if sensing Zhao Ji's silence, Zhao Xu turned his head to look at Zhao Ji and asked. "What's wrong?"
"Official, actually...... In fact, the courtier's participation in the imperial examination was not just a game to satisfy his own little vanity. Zhao Ji raised his head and looked at Zhao Xu with a serious face.
"Oh? Then I'm going to have to listen to it. Zhao Xu looked at Zhao Ji thoughtfully, smiled for a long time, and raised his hand to signal Zhao Ji to continue.
"Brother is missing his father......" Zhao Ji hesitated for a long time, then raised his head and looked straight at Zhao Xu, and this first sentence made Zhao Xu can't help but have a sour nose.
"Therefore, the younger brother must participate in this imperial examination, just hoping that the spirit of the emperor in heaven can see that he and Mr. An Shi's new law is not endless, and the younger brother, as his heir, has not disgraced him, and is willing to set an example and example for the children of the Great Song Dynasty......"
Zhao Xu was stunned and looked at the eleventh brother who was talking faster and faster, his voice was getting higher and higher, and his face was flushed, but there was no timidity or retreat.
At this time, Zhao Xu seemed to have just been saved, according to the Taizong system, the children of the clan were not allowed to engage in anything and were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, but it was not until his father was in power and Mr. An Shi changed the law that the sect rules set by Emperor Taizong were abolished.
And when his father passed away, the new law was abolished, and even the rules set by Emperor Taizong were once asked to restore the old view. However, it seems that before this law, there was no complete unity of voice and will within the old party.
Or they can also see that it is only the Great Song clan that has been touched by the interests, and there is another important reason that the children of the clan outside the five suits are no longer supported by the court, so that the court can save a lot of expenses, which is the reason why there are disputes within the old party, and finally this Taizong rule is the reason why the old law is restored and shelved.
At this time, Zhao Xu came back to his senses, and he never thought that the political legacy left by his father was not all wiped out by the old party officials, except for those new party officials who were degraded from all over the country, there was still such a new law that still exists.

"I see...... "Looking at Zhao Ji who was full of resentment in front of him, Zhao Xu suddenly felt a little guilty and patted his forehead. It seems that you are to blame for your brother's mistake, sit down quickly, and think about it for your brother. ”
"This is a new law that has rarely been repealed by the old party, so what does this prove? Doesn't that prove that my father and Mr. An Shi are right? It's just that other new laws have touched their interests, and they will repeat them so strongly. Zhao Xu touched his chin and muttered leisurely.
"The official, what should the minister do, please ask the official family to give me an idea." Looking at this ninth brother who is far more familiar in his heart than in appearance, Zhao Ji is very eager to get an answer.
"You just go ahead and take the provincial exam, it's okay, even if they do impeach you, so what?" Speaking of this, Zhao Xu's spine suddenly straightened. "Back then, my father and Mr. An Shi forged ahead for the future of the Great Song Dynasty, and it can almost be said that they were constrained everywhere, but haven't they done a lot of things?"
"Now that my father is gone, Brother Jiu, I can't be pro-political affairs, at this time, we need brothers to join forces." Speaking of this, Zhao Xu raised his hand, patted Zhao Ji's somewhat thin shoulder, and said solemnly.
"Don't worry, the official family will not live up to your expectations, and he will definitely take the test well, and may the spirit of the father and emperor in heaven bless the younger brother to be able to go to high school." got Zhao Xu's promise, Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart, and for a long time, he suppressed the joy in his heart and left.
After seeing Zhao Ji disappear outside the main hall, Zhao Xu rubbed his eyebrows and couldn't help but sigh a little. Although Eleven Lang is still heartbroken, his personality has changed after all, compared to the sullen otaku who only knows chess, qin, calligraphy and painting all day long.
Now he has at least gradually understood what responsibility and responsibility are. And all this is naturally inseparable from the teachings of his brother, and of course, it will definitely have a great relationship with Wang Wushan.
But now, after many battles of wits and courage with those old party members, Zhao Xu, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, has become more and more aware of how to fight with those officials, and will not be like in the past, he will only be covered by anger and lose his reason, but he has forgotten the interests and purpose he should strive for.
Sitting on the couch, Zhao Xu didn't move the pen, but began to carefully calculate, if those guys really impeached Shishilang, how should he deal with it.
After thinking hard for a long time, Zhao Xu found that there was no contradiction that could be reconciled between himself and the party officials, but soon, Zhao Xu woke up, and finally showed a relieved smile on his face. “…… How did I forget the Empress Dowager. ”
"Come on, set up the Spring and Autumn Palace, I want to go and greet the imperial grandmother......" Zhao Xu greeted, and the dozens of eunuchs and palace maids around him suddenly got busy, and after a lot of effort, they set off and drove in the direction of the Spring and Autumn Palace where the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao was.
Gao Taotao thought that Zhao Xu was just to fulfill his grandson's responsibilities and come over to shake his head, but he never thought that after Zhao Xu asked for peace, he would ask directly about his views on the rules formulated by Taizong.
This really made Gao Tao come back to his senses for a long time, put down the red pen in his hand, and looked at Zhao Xu, who had a calm face in front of him, and his heart was full of doubts.
I really didn't understand what his grandson was thinking, but Gao Tao didn't directly ignore Zhao Xu's words.
What do you mean by this? The mourning family didn't quite understand...... "How could the scheming Gao Tao easily show her attitude, not to mention that she couldn't figure out the path of the Son of Heaven for a while."
