No. 467

After seeing it, Yang Wei was first startled, and then said with a smile: "Wonderful, wonderful." Empress Dowager Zhu was sick at this time, which was really wonderful. ”

'Pretending' is naturally pretending to be sick, and of course this idea is also Cai Dao's idea.

Before, when a little eunuch led Concubine Zhu's palace, Cai Dao was immediately ...... by four little Loli No, it should be surrounded by four little princesses.

The ten daughters of Song Shenzong, to this day, are still alive, in addition to the four little princesses who are sticking to Cai Dao in front of them, there are also the third princesses and the fourth princess who are about to marry the two Han families.

As for the four princesses in front of her, they were born to Concubine Zhu, and the same is true of the third princess, Princess Shushou. It is conceivable that for Song Shenzong, this virtuous and submissive, and even a little weak Concubine Zhu has a lot of credit.

The only thing that gave Cai Dao a headache was not the four young princesses, but Concubine Zhu herself.

When she saw Cai Dao, Concubine Zhu's attitude was extremely enthusiastic, needless to say, Cai Dao always felt that when the other party looked at him again, he was looking at himself with the eyes of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. This made Cai Dao extremely uncomfortable in Concubine Zhu's bedroom, and it was like sitting on pins and needles. Restrained, he has completely lost his former calmness.

These four little princesses are still young and have no titles, but Cai Dao has the blessing of the system and knows that they are Princess Yunguo, Princess Luguo, Princess Weiguo, and German princess.

The princess of Yunguo is the oldest, the second daughter of Concubine Zhu, who is sixteen years old this year, while Princess Luguo is fifteen years old this year, and Princess Suiguo is thirteen years old. And the youngest German princess was actually the real protagonist of the nursing mother case back then. Zhao Xu actually suffered it on her behalf.

After Concubine Zhu knew that her eldest daughter had found a good in-law, she was ready to find her in-laws for Princess Yun and Princess Lu, who had reached the age of marriage. And Cai Dao in front of him is naturally the first choice.

As for Luo Guozi or something, a monk or something, don't say that Concubine Zhu doesn't care, even these princesses themselves also care, on the contrary, including Princess Shushou, these five daughters of Concubine Zhu like Cai Dao very much. Of course, young German princesses still don't know that liking and marrying are two different concepts. The main reason is that at the beginning, Cai Dao not only took the risk to save the lives of several little princesses, but also several people got along with each other in Cai's Academy for a period of time.

Compared with the strict rules of the inner courtyard of the palace, the relaxed and interesting feeling of spring breeze in Cai's school has always lingered in the hearts of the five princesses, leaving memories that will be indelible and unforgettable for a lifetime.

Considering the importance of the matter, Cai Dao still asked Concubine Zhu to let the little princesses take shelter for the time being, and he said what he had said to Zhao Xu. After finishing speaking, Concubine Zhu was silent for a moment, and the expression on her face was also cloudy.

Concubine Zhu has always guarded her duty in the palace, because she knows in her heart that although she is Zhao Xu's biological mother, she is just a concubine, and the queen mother has always been Xiang's. As long as Zhao Xu inherits the unification and sits firmly on this country, she will be satisfied as a mother.

Song Shenzong died, and when the Empress Dowager was alive, she had been suspicious and reprimanded for no reason, and she could only silently grit her teeth and swallow it in her stomach. Concubine Zhu's peculiar experience since she was a child made her know how to survive and endure better than ordinary women.

But after all, she is also an ordinary woman, and she also has the desires in her heart. can justifiably be called the mother of Zhao Xu for life, how can it not be the biggest wronged in her heart?

After being silent for a long time, Concubine Zhu stared at Cai Dao without blinking, and asked softly: "Child, if you tell the mourning family the truth, this matter can be grasped." ”

"Hmm!" Cai Dao nodded and did not say anything else.

"Then ......" Concubine Zhu wanted to say something, but she stopped again, because she really didn't know how to express what she thought in her heart at the moment.

Cai Dao didn't know what Concubine Zhu wanted to say to him just now, but he knew that the other party's heart at the moment, status or something, Concubine Zhu really didn't care, but she really didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble because of him for the Great Song Dynasty, but Zhao Xu caused unnecessary trouble.

So, Cai Dao persuaded him: "Niangniang, Poor Dao knows what you are thinking in your heart, and at this moment, you don't know whether you should agree to this matter." But you can't really say no to it. Poor Dao knows that you don't really care about the queen mother's false name, but this is not for yourself, but for the sake of the Great Song Jiangshan, and for your son, the current emperor, and the thirteen princes and your four little princesses! ”

Looking at Concubine Zhu's surprised eyes, Cai Dao continued: "Niangniang, you must have also heard about the deeds of the deceased Empress Dowager Liang in the neighboring country, and the Empress Dowager Xiao Liang, who is now in power!" ”

Concubine Zhu nodded first as if she didn't understand, and then shook her head, Cai Dao didn't know what the other party meant, so he roughly told her.

Li Bingchang was called the Emperor of Facing Wall City by later generations. He was originally a good Confucian and pro-Song emperor, if the Western Xia Kingdom really had to be in power at that time, in the Song Dynasty, in fact, in the Song Dynasty, there would not have been a large-scale military conflict between the Song and Xia countries. But on the contrary, Empress Dowager Liang and his brother Liang Yi buried and controlled the government, even after Li Bingchang was in power, they refused to give up the power in their hands, and in the end, they even imprisoned Li Bingchang together with Liang Yiburi.

Empress Dowager Liang and Liang Yibury also died one after another in the eighth year of Yuanfeng, but in this way, Empress Dowager Liang refused to let go of her son, and actually let her niece, who is now the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, continue to control the government, as a result, Li Bingchang, who had been aggrieved all his life, died of depression.

After listening to Cai Dao's lavish and affectionate narration, Concubine Zhu couldn't help but cover her mouth in shock, for fear that she would scream. It's really appalling, and besides, how similar is the situation of this Li Bingchang in the first half of his life to Zhao Xu now!

Perhaps, the only difference between the two emperors is that the Empress Dowager Liang is Li Bingchang's biological mother, while the Empress Dowager Xiang is not Zhao Xu's biological mother.

"Your Majesty now wants to learn from his admiring father and restore the new law. But you also know that the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xiang have always been the backing of Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu. Once Your Majesty begins to implement the new law, aren't you afraid that the Empress Dowager Xiang will do unspeakable acts like the Empress Dowager Liang of the Western Xia Kingdom? The first striker is the first to control the people, and the last to the people is the first to be controlled.

Also, Niangniang, don't think that the Queen Mother Xiang will definitely keep giving in. The contradictions between His Majesty and Empress Dowager Xiang, as well as the power group behind her, are simply impossible to reconcile. The first emperor has more than one son, and at the beginning, you must have heard of the fact that Cai Xianggong, who was in a uproar, tried to abolish His Majesty and welcome the two younger brothers of the first emperor.

However, do you know that this matter itself is not what the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xiang want to do, and after the revelation, they beat a rake and put this basin on Cai Xianggong's head? If you want to forcibly participate in it, it will not only destroy Your Majesty's plan, but also make it difficult for Your Majesty to do, and it will also make Your Majesty lose face in front of your ministers. A series of questions shocked Concubine Zhu's brain completely confused.

After a while, Concubine Zhu stabilized her mind and asked, "Child, what should the mourning family do?" ”

Concubine Zhu was really scared by Cai Dao's words, if she ruined Zhao Xu's plan because of her temporary soft-heartedness, the consequences could really be very serious. She and Empress Dowager Xiang have been together for most of their lives, so they naturally understand each other's temperament, and they also know that although Empress Dowager Xiang has been amiable all these years, she has always hated her in her heart.

Empress Dowager Xiang only gave birth to one daughter in her life, and she died early. It is conceivable that she hates Concubine Zhu very much.

"It's easy, load!" Cai Dao said, raised a finger, and said, "Immediately order someone to send the little princesses back to their respective residences, you don't have to worry, Your Majesty will definitely send appropriate people to take care of these sisters of his." And you need to pretend to be sick immediately, and this will be a proper method for you, and you will definitely hide it from the imperial doctors. Moreover, it is better to prolong this disease for a longer time. ”

"By the way, it's best to replace a new batch of palace maids and eunuchs around you immediately, your temperament is too soft......" Cai Dao did not say the rest of the words.

But Concubine Zhu nodded a little shyly, in fact, since the turmoil in the eighth year of Yuanfeng, she knew that she had always been planted by a lot of eyes and ears, but at that time, the Empress Dowager was very strictly supervised, and she had no power in the palace, so she naturally did not dare to change people easily.

Now, although Zhao Xu is pro-government, Concubine Zhu is used to these old people around her, and she can't bear to drive them all away, so she doesn't want to toss for a while.
