At this time, Empress Dowager Zhu had already woken up, and she was looking at Zhao Xu's body sadly and was stunned, and Xiao Zhao was still young, so she lay on the bed and fell asleep deeply.

"Queen Mother, please mourn!"

“……”

“……”

All the ministers stepped forward to salute the Queen Mother together, and said in a low voice.

The white-haired person sent the black-haired person, this was the first time that Empress Dowager Zhu had experienced this kind of tragedy, even when Song Shenzong died, she was not so heartbroken at this moment.

Therefore, when others spoke, Empress Dowager Zhu didn't hear them at all.

Time can't be delayed, if it is put on any longer, Zhao Xu's body will decompose, and rumors are now flying outside the palace, and now it is necessary to confirm Xiao Zhao's accession to the throne and the return of the Meng family to the customs, re-entering the palace and other matters.

So, Cai Dao pulled the tenth princess and King Jian Zhao to the side of the Empress Dowager Zhu, and he whispered a few words in the ears of the two children.

With tears in her eyes, the tenth princess nodded, stepped forward and gently grabbed the sleeve of the Empress Dowager Zhu, and pleaded while shaking it gently: "Queen Mother, wake up!" The emperor's brother has passed away, you must take care of your body! If you have three longs and two shorts, what should I do with my daughter? Woo...... Huh? ”

In the end, the tenth princess finally couldn't help it and cried bitterly.

"Queen Mother, you, woo...... Woo! Zhao seemed to be a stupid mouth, he just opened his mouth and shouted, and he was infected by the emotions of the tenth princess, and he also cried.

The two of them grabbed the sleeves of Empress Dowager Zhu's clothes one left and one right, and finally shook their mother awake.

"Alas! O my miserable emperor! Woo...... Woo! Empress Dowager Zhu hugged the two biological flesh and blood, and also cried loudly.

All the important ministers in the Cining Palace also shed tears, Zhao Xu was also domineering, and he gave too little power to these prime ministers, but he had to admit that he still took care of these important ministers.

The mother and son were in pain for a while, and Empress Dowager Zhu first relieved herself and asked, "Dao'er, Zhongyan, and all the prime ministers, how are things going?" ”

"Empress Dowager, those are all trivial things. Now there are rumors outside the palace, therefore, the crown prince Zhao Ban should ascend the throne as soon as possible, and you will be in charge of the dynasty and stabilize the hearts of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and hundreds of millions of people in the world as soon as possible! Cai Dao hurriedly stepped forward and replied.

"Yes, Queen Mother, the vacancy of the throne will inevitably make the villain hopeful. He also asked the crown prince to ascend the throne as soon as possible. ”

“……”

Although the other people said different words, the meaning was the same, that is, to let Zhao Ban ascend the throne as soon as possible and stabilize the society of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Hmmm! The mourners know. By the way, what about Aiqing, Zhang Dian and Xing Shu? Why don't you see the two of them? "It's all sons who are close to important ministers, but they didn't come to see her at this time, Empress Dowager Zhu was suspicious, so she asked.

At this time, the others naturally didn't dare to answer, and they all turned their eyes to Cai Dao.

Cai Dao said calmly: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, poor Dao has no form, and privately ordered someone to temporarily detain the two of them in the Qinzheng Palace. I implore the Queen Mother to cure the crime of poverty and disorder. ”

"Why is that?" When Empress Dowager Zhu heard Cai Dao's answer, she was a little surprised, but she still trusted Cai Dao, so she asked.

Cai Dao didn't speak this time, but stretched out a hand and pointed at Meng Shi, who was taking care of Zhao Companion.

"I see!" After Empress Dowager Zhu saw Meng, she already had the answer in her heart.

Zhang Dian worked hard and made great achievements, and in the matter of abolishing Empress Xiang, Empress Dowager Zhu was very grateful to this important minister.

Empress Meng was deposed at the beginning, and she did have her own reasons. However, Zhang Dian and Xing Shu took the initiative to help the Liu family facilitate this matter, which made Empress Dowager Zhu extremely unhappy.

Now, the Liu family has actually done such a rebellious thing.

Now that I think about it, if the Meng family had not been deposed, the Liu family would not have become the queen, and this time, her emperor would not have died in vain.

Everything is connected.

What you sow, what you reap.

Since Zhang Dian and Xing Shu chose to help the Liu family, they now have to pay for the evil cause in the first place.

Thinking about this, Empress Dowager Zhu no longer asked, Zhang Dian and others, but ordered: "Wait a while!" The companion is still young now, and he took the soothing medicine just now, so you still let him sleep a little longer. When he wakes up naturally, you will immediately handle the enthronement ceremony. Zhongyan, you immediately left the palace and announced the matter in public with the edict of the mourning family. By the way, Queen Liu's matter should not be publicized to the public. Tadahiko, do you know what to do? ”

"No! Empress Dowager Qi, in fact, when we discussed together, Daochang Cai suggested the same. Cai Dao didn't arrive first, Han Zhongyan actually reported this matter to Empress Dowager Zhu.

"Good! It's still a general idea, Tadahiko, you can do it immediately! The Queen Mother nodded and said.

Han Zhongyan is gone.

The other ministers could only stay in the Cining Hall and wait.

Cai Dao took out a bottle of soothing and tonifying brain oral liquid from his arms, and presented it to the Queen Mother, who opened the stopper of the porcelain bottle, and after a while, she felt a little better in her heart.

After a while, Empress Dowager Zhu suddenly asked, "Everyone, there is no problem with the companion ascending the throne!" But the mourning family is really impatient to deal with government affairs, so this matter of weighing the system in the future dynasty should be handed over to the Meng family! Meng, what do you think? What do you think? ”

When these words came out, Meng Shi and the six prime ministers were a little confused, and Empress Dowager Zhu suddenly said this, what did she mean, was she testing their loyalty?

But only Cai Dao knew that what Empress Dowager Zhu said was her true words.

At the beginning, when Cai Dao suggested that Zhao Xu abolish the Empress Dowager Xiang, in fact, the Empress Dowager Zhu did not agree to abolish the Empress Dowager Xiang in her heart. Compared with Gao Tao, the Empress Dowager Xiang is still good to her. However, everyone finally persuaded her with the excuse of preventing Empress Dowager Xiang from interfering in Zhao Xu's pro-government again.

Because, Empress Dowager Zhu knew that if the first emperor had a spirit in the sky, he would definitely not agree to this matter. What's more, Zhang Dun, Xing Shu and others actually instigated the emperor to abolish the empress dowager, and the two powers harmed each other, whichever was less.

Empress Dowager Zhu is really tired of having women interfering in court politics, although this has become a common practice in the Great Song Dynasty, but she just doesn't want to inherit this tradition herself.

If you do this, it is inevitable that in the future, your grandchildren will resent you.

Song Renzong really doesn't resent Liu E?

Song Shenzong really didn't resent Empress Dowager Cao and Gao Taotao?

Zhao Xu did resent Gao Tao and the Empress Dowager.

Seeing the bewildered looks of everyone, Cai Dao had no choice but to stand up and relieve everyone, and said: "Queen Mother, in fact, there are not many government affairs to deal with, these six prime ministers are experienced, they will handle ordinary small things, and they will not bother you with those trivial things." ”
