Zhao Zhen's health is not good, and the eunuchs are not trustworthy, for almost half a year, the queen helped to read the excerpts in various places, and then let Zhao Zhen adjudicate.

Queen Cao is also Bingxue smart, born in Jiangmen, both civil and military, and has been in the palace for so many years, being able to sit firmly on the throne of the queen shows that her skills are extraordinary.

She adheres to women's morals and will not directly interfere in court affairs, but since she is by the emperor's side, she has room to do something.

For example, hundreds of folds are placed there, with Zhao Zhen's physical strength, naturally they can't be dealt with all, some are important, some are not important, some just need to follow the rules, and some are new problems that must be nerve-wracking...... As long as Empress Cao makes a slight move in classification, she can influence Zhao Zhen's ruling.

For another example, two yamen, or two officials fighting, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, so who is reasonable? A simple truth is that you have a preconceived idea, and if you can hand it to the emperor first, you will naturally take advantage of it.

These things were all in the hands of eunuchs before, so don't look at the eunuch status of the Great Song Dynasty, but no minister dares to offend them easily.

Now the eunuchs are useless, but the power will not disappear, but it will fall into the hands of Queen Cao.

At first, Empress Cao was very restrained and didn't dare to play tricks casually, but she always fought by the river, how could she not get her shoes wet. And she was born in Jiangmen, and she has a huge Cao family to take care of.

Naturally, there will inevitably be some biases, and he can't really stay out of the matter, and Zhao Zhen's health is getting worse and worse, and Empress Cao's power is getting bigger and bigger...... Gradually, the stylistic differences between the emperors and queens also appeared.

Zhao Zhen was disappointed in the civil officials, and he was eager to make contributions, so he naturally favored the reform faction. And Empress Cao, as a woman, longs for stability, coupled with the deepening of the change, the gate has also been impacted, and Empress Cao has become more and more conservative.

She is in charge of organizing the recitals, and the excerpts that oppose the change are often placed at the top.

Zhao Zhen is not unaware of this, but the problem is that he is old and lacks energy, and Queen Cao is his wife and the prince's mother, and she will point to her to take care of the prince in the future, so Zhao Zhen will not be surprised.

It's just that today, Empress Cao openly stood up and said bad things about Wang Anshi, which made Zhao Zhen alert.

"Zitong, what do you think of Wang Aiqing?"

Empress Cao was taken aback, she felt that what she had just said was too much, and hurriedly said: "Sage, the concubine is just a woman, how dare she criticize being the prime minister of the court, but Wang Anshi is outside the Xuande Gate, and he dares not to get off the horse, this can be regarded as contempt for the royal family, right?" The concubine is also a heroine, but she doesn't dare to turn a blind eye. ”

Seeing that Zhao Zhen was not angry, she continued to sigh: "Speaking of which, Wang Xianggong is indeed very hard, working hard for state affairs...... It's just rumors outside that he is a domineering person, promotes administrative affairs, leaves no room for office, and appoints private individuals, and the reputation is not very good......" At the end of the point, Queen Cao immediately covered her mouth and said: "The concubine is all listening to nonsense outside, and it is not considered to interfere in court politics!" ”

Zhao Zhen smiled, "Husband and wife are one, so you can tell a few truths, I love to listen." After a pause, Zhao Zhen said again: "Zitong, there are more and more saliva lawsuits these days, and the two sides are not making a good noise, you sort out the notes for me, roughly extract some of them, and let me take a look, so much is really too much to read." ”

Empress Cao nodded happily, "The concubine has retired." ”

……

Watching his wife leave, Zhao Zhen closed his eyes slightly, and was silent for a while, he had to think about it.

"Emperor, come here."

From the other side, Zhao Shu walked over, he was very obedient, and after saluting, he sat on the edge of the bed and massaged Zhao Zhen's stiff and cold legs.

Zhao Zhen and Ouyang Xiu have a problem, both of which are thirst-quenching diseases.

Xu is eating too well, the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, in their later years, basically got rich and noble, but Zhao Zhen's situation is more complicated than Ouyang Xiu, he is weak, but for a while, in order to give birth to children, day and night, hard work, and took a lot of tonics, as a result, all kinds of diseases have occurred in recent years, which is considered to be for the absurdity of the early years to repay debts.

Zhao Shu's technique is very good, and after pinching for a while, Zhao Zhen finally recovered his spirits.

"Huang'er, what do you think of Wang Anshi's collision with Xuandemen?"

Zhao Shu hesitated, a little difficult to speak.

"Speak, in front of your father, say what is in your heart."

"Yes." Zhao Shu sighed and said, "I heard Mr. talk about one thing about Wang Xianggong...... A few years ago, Mr. invited Wang Xianggong to dinner, and found that he liked the ham in front of him very much, and later the master went to visit Wang Xianggong, so he sent a few catties to Wang Xianggong, but he heard Wang Xianggong's daughter say that when Wang Xianggong eats, he only eats the dishes in front of him. ”

Zhao Zhen hesitated, and said with a smile: "I also heard that Wang Aiqing is a good supporter." ”

Zhao Shu said with a smile: "Wang Xianggong is not greedy for appetite, he is not informal, he is a very pure person, he may be too focused on things, and he is not mean to be contemptuous." The sons thought that the prince assisted his father and made a lot of merit, so he gave him a horse to ride in the palace! ”

After listening to this, Zhao Zhen glanced at his son meaningfully.

The little guy is older, he begins to have his own ideas, and he dares to sing against the queen mother.

"Emperor, do you know what the consequences will be if my father makes an order now to reward Wang Aiqing?"

Zhao Shu pondered: "Erchen thinks that since Wang Xianggong is a pure person, he will definitely bow down and die after receiving the grace of his father, the emperor, and be loyal to my Great Song Dynasty!" ”

"But there will be many people who will be disappointed!"

Zhao Shu gritted his teeth and plucked up the courage to say: "Father, if you want to do things, it is difficult to do both!" Erchen went to the northwest for a few months, and thought about it clearly, everything has to be paid off, and it will be rewarded! Even the imperial court is no exception! For example, if you want soldiers to die, you must solve your worries and let them know that even if they die in battle, their families will receive enough pensions. If you don't give people land, why should you let people die? Where did the fields come from, they certainly didn't come out of thin air, and they could only be seized by killing the original owner. If you want to satisfy all parties without killing people and bloodshed, that is simply delusional! All parties are satisfied, that is, all parties are not satisfied, and if one party's demands are not fully satisfied, there will be no replacement for desperate supporters. ”

These days, Zhao Shu has been thinking about it, and today he has told everything he has understood, so that Zhao Zhen was quite surprised after listening to it.

After pondering for a long time, Zhao Zhen smiled with relief, "The emperor must be a decisive and courageous son of heaven in the future, and I am very relieved......"

can get the affirmation of his father, Zhao Shu is overjoyed.

Zhao Zhen continued: "What you mean is clear to my father, you want my father to only use the new school, not the old school, but there are some things that I can't make up my mind, I'm afraid that I can only start when I wait until the day you ascend the throne!" ”

Zhao Shu was very surprised, his father was the Son of Heaven, and he said that it was so difficult to give Wang Anshi a support? He didn't think so, but he didn't dare to show it, so he could only lower his head and continue to rub Zhao Zhen's legs.

Zhao Zhen looked at his growing son, and his heart was both relieved and ashamed.

Silly boy, my father is old, my energy is low, and my physical strength is no longer good...... Perhaps only when you are old will you understand that for an old man, peace and tranquility are more important than anything else.

Father really can't make a big move, and he can't remove obstacles for you.

It's not that your father doesn't want to, it's that your mother is on that side, how do you make your father make up his mind?

Zhao Zhen is very desolate and helpless, he knows better than anyone why Queen Cao jumped out, the reason is obvious, that is, he is old, Zhao Shu is not yet an adult, Queen Cao must seize power, not only in the palace, but also outside the palace.

The old party and Jiangmen are all forces that Empress Cao needs to grasp, and only by mastering these people can Empress Cao have the weight to speak.

From a certain point of view, Zhao Zhen even likes Empress Cao to do this, in private, he secretly released water to give Empress Cao more power, only a strong queen mother can protect Zhao Shu, not to be bullied by the ministers, and the Zhao family will not be lost...... But the problem is that there is also a conflict between the emperor and the queen mother, Zhao Zhen experienced a strong queen mother in his early years, and he knew that it was not pleasant to be pressed by others.

Zhao Zhen's situation is far more complicated and difficult than it seems.

Left is neither right nor right, and this is the source of his pain.

Even in the face of his son, Zhao Zhen couldn't confide a word, he could only bury it deep in his heart.

"Emperor, you are still young, some things are just said to your father, how is the situation in the court, you don't have to talk too much." After speaking, Zhao Zhen waved his hand weakly, signaling Zhao Shu to retreat, he closed his eyes and recuperated, and didn't want to say a word.

Of course, Zhao Shu was unwilling, but he had no choice but to withdraw from the dormitory.

……

Wang Anshi is in danger!

This is the first thing Zhao Shu said when he saw Gouyaer.

The father is unwilling to protect Wang Anshi, and the old-school characters will definitely work hard to force Wang Anshi to resign.

In fact, they have already acted.

Wang Anshi's collision with Xuandemen, as well as his recital in front of the king, all spread out.

Many people scolded Wang Anshi, saying that he was rude to the Son of Heaven, disrespectful to heaven, not afraid of ancestors, and completely a bold and rebellious minister.

They also put Wang Anshi in the implementation of the new law, and the problems that occurred were infinitely magnified, and the dirty water was poured on Wang Anshi like money!

Seeing the offensive of the courtiers, Zhao Shu's heart really made him shudder and shudder.

Wang Anshi and Wang Erlang are different, he has been lecturing for 20 years, and is respected as a Confucian, and has a great influence in Shilin.

These people who wrote to abuse Wang Anshi, a few years ago, I am afraid that they were all Wang Anshi's little fans, in order to see Wang Xianggong's demeanor, they could not even eat, and they were so intoxicated with worship.

The same group of people, after a few years, will regard them as enemies, and they can't wait to ruin Wang Anshi's reputation!

Zhao Shu once heard the master say that the so-called cynicism does not involve one's own interests, it is Confucianism, and the elegant Confucianism becomes a dog, a vicious dog, when it comes to one's own interests!

Master is really in a word!

The literati are shameless and fierce!

"Pointing at them, being able to help the community is a dream!" Zhao Shu clenched his fists and said, "Lonely will never watch them bully Wang Xianggong...... Lonely, Lone wants to ask Mr. to come back and let him protect Wang Xianggong! ”
