The biggest obstacle to opposition to the new law was Empress Dowager Cao. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info under the intentional arrangement of Song Shenzong, the Empress Dowager Cao at this time was overjoyed, and she enjoyed this joy very much, only to see her good-looking eyebrows turned upward, and her face was full of red light, as if she was twenty years younger.

No one would refuse such a beautiful thing. Not to mention, Empress Dowager Cao has a good name, she has always planned things behind the scenes, and rarely stands in the foreground, so how can she miss the opportunity to be in the limelight and increase her reputation?

Sima Guang's accusations were too pale and had no power. Even if he and Empress Dowager Cao reversed, he might not be able to resist such temptation.

"Grandmother, grandmother knows that victory is so joyful!" Empress Dowager Cao smiled, raised her eyebrows at Song Shenzong beside her, and said with a smile: "In the past, the Great Song Dynasty was always afraid of the Khitans, saying that the Khitans were like wolves and tigers, invincible, and the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were about to flee when they saw the shadow of the Liao army. Now, we know how ridiculous this statement is! ”

The same nation, in the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, established such prominent martial arts, but the Song Dynasty was so weak, in the final analysis, the Song Dynasty did not inspire the courage of the Song people. As long as the courage of the Song people is stimulated, they will do shocking things, as evidenced by the Battle of Zhuozhou.

"Grandmother, Huaxia was so strong in the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, so that future generations admired. Sun Er believes that it is not that the children of Huaxia are timid and cowardly, but that the Great Song Dynasty is not good enough. If the Great Song Dynasty can use it well, it will definitely not be inferior to the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties. Song Shenzong said with emotion: "In the past, the army of the Great Song Dynasty was about to flee when they saw the shadow of the Liao dog. But now, they dare to fight, dare to sacrifice their lives and forget about death. It lies in the fact that the new army is fair and fair, does not take merit for merit, and has strict military discipline. ”

"Hmm!" Empress Dowager Cao couldn't help nodding her head, and said with emotion: "It's better than not knowing, and it's better to know what the reason is." In the past, the army of the Great Song Dynasty was greedy for merit and merit, military discipline was unknown, military merit was sluggish, and the soldiers were desperately killed the enemy, which was a fantasy. Han Wu said that the hustle and bustle between the DPRK and China is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle between the DPRK and China is for profit. The soldiers sacrificed their lives and forgot their deaths to kill the enemy to serve the country, not necessarily for a profit, but if they could not get the benefits that should belong to them, they would not sacrifice their lives to serve the country! ”

"Thank you grandmother! The grandson remembered that the grandson should work hard to make the old and the new, and govern the Great Song Dynasty more strongly. Song Shenzong looked like he was being taught, but his words meant something.

"Huh?" Empress Dowager Cao heard it, and Song Shenzong talked about changing the law. She also understood Song Shenzong's thoughts, which was to make her no longer oppose the new law. For Song Shenzong's thoughts, she can't say anything now. Song Shenzong gave her such a face-showing, what else could she say?

Besides, she used to think that the laws of her ancestors were immutable. However, at this time of joy, she could not help but admit that the law of her ancestors was not immutable. If it were immutable, there would be no victory now.

More importantly, with the victory in Zhuozhou, the status of Song Shenzong has improved dramatically, although there are still shortcomings compared to the Holy Monarch, it is not too far behind. Even if she wants to object, she is powerless. Instead of making an unpleasant fuss, it is better to follow Song Shenzong and enjoy the joy of family.

"Don't worry, don't worry. If someone says irresponsible things, grandmother can't spare him! Empress Dowager Cao really enjoyed Song Shenzong's filial piety, and gave Song Shenzong a reassurance with a smile.

The battle of Zhuozhou made Song Shenzong's status rise sharply, and his throne became more stable, even if Empress Dowager Cao wanted to move him, it was very difficult. It can be said that the sword hanging over Song Shenzong's head no longer exists. Song Shenzong can not win over Empress Dowager Cao like this, and he can completely read and act.

However, although Empress Dowager Cao can't stop it, she can cause a lot of trouble, and it's better to win it over.

What's more, although Empress Dowager Cao is not her own grandmother, she is also a grandmother, and she is good to Song Shenzong. As a last resort, Song Shenzong didn't want to have a showdown with her.

"Thank you, grandmother! Thank you, Grandmother! As soon as Empress Dowager Cao said this, it was tantamount to expressing her attitude, she would stand on the side of Song Shenzong, and she would no longer be the main obstacle to the new law. This is what Song Shenzong wants the most, and he can't help but be overjoyed.

"Baby!" Empress Dowager Cao looked at Song Shenzong lovingly. Of course, she understood why Song Shenzong was so happy. The more Song Shenzong is like this, the more it shows that Song Shenzong takes her grandmother to heart, can she not be happy?

"Congratulations to the official! Congratulations to the official family! ”

Ministers continued to enter the palace and come to Song Shenzong's side to congratulate him.

This is the first Yanyun city recovered since the establishment of the Song Dynasty, and it is also an important Zhuozhou city, its significance is not trivial, the ministers are beaming, holding their heads high, holding their chests high, and looking like they are raising their eyebrows.

"Huh!" Song Shenzong smiled heartily.

"Sima Guang, come here." Empress Dowager Cao waved at Sima Guang.

Sima Guang was overjoyed in his heart, it seemed that the Empress Dowager Cao still relied on him very much, and quickly stepped forward to salute: "I have seen the Empress Dowager!" I don't know what the Empress Dowager summoned Weichen, what is the matter? ”

"Something important?" Empress Dowager Cao was slightly stunned, and the corners of her mouth turned up.

Sima Guang saw it in his eyes, and chuckled in his heart, knowing that things were not good, and he was wrong. Sure enough, I only heard Empress Dowager Cao ask: "Sima Guang, you are writing a book in Henan Mansion, can you write a great victory in Zhuozhou?" ”

If he could write a book and say that he could write a great victory in Zhuozhou, the great writers of the past generations would be heroes of the world. This is not asking knowingly, but making it difficult, Sima Guang oozed cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly said: "Minister......"

The sudden question, Sima Guang didn't know where to start.

"Yes or no?" Empress Dowager Cao is pressing a step.

"I can't!" Sima Guang had the heart to say something beautiful, and under the coercion of the Empress Dowager Cao, he didn't dare not answer directly.

"If not!" Empress Dowager Cao said coldly: "Since you know that you can't, why do you still write a book in Henan Mansion?" You are clearly not in your position and do not seek politics, but in fact, you secretly exchange letters, how much trouble has you caused to the officials? And how many ministers have stepped through the threshold of your house? You don't have to think that if you are in the deep palace, you don't know! ”

The more he spoke, the colder he became, and his tone became more and more severe, Sima Guang listened to it in his ears, as if thunder was roaring in his ears, and he felt that his head was buzzing, and he almost wanted to fall.

Sima Guang was at home in Henan Mansion, posing as if he was writing books and speaking and did not participate in state affairs. Clear-eyed people know that he is making a show and selling his reputation, but in fact, he is secretly plotting to influence the government. Although he stayed at home, he didn't know how many ministers had entered his mansion, and he didn't know how many conspiracies and calculations had taken place in his mansion.

It's just that, because of his fame, Song Shenzong didn't mention it. Now, Empress Dowager Cao has not only proposed it, but also in front of so many people, which is a declaration that shows her attitude, and she has switched from opposing the new law to supporting the new law.

The most joyful are Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi. The two monarchs and ministers glanced at each other, secretly happy, if it wasn't for the wrong time, the two monarchs and ministers would definitely be singing loudly.

Song Shenzong originally thought that Empress Dowager Cao would not object, but she didn't think about it, she actually publicly stated her attitude, which was much better than expected. No matter what you say, Song Shenzong is the most beloved grandson of Empress Dowager Cao, at this juncture of grandson's achievements, if she doesn't give Song Shenzong strong support, is it reasonable?

Empress Dowager Cao's move is completely different from her previous measures. Her usual style is not to show up, just hiding behind the scenes and plotting, and it is the first time that she has openly expressed her attitude like today.

This means that the biggest obstacle to opposing the new law no longer exists!

This means that the sword hanging over Song Shenzong's head is gone!

This means that from now on, Song Shenzong can let go of his hands and feet to implement the new law! If anyone dares to object, even if they kill their heads, they don't care!

"How can this be?" Sima Guang, Han Qi, and Lu Gong certainly understood Empress Dowager Cao's intentions. As soon as this attitude was revealed, it would not change again, the opposition's biggest backer was gone, and the three of them were frightened, and cold sweat seeped down.

"The Empress Dowager Shengming!" Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing, Cai Jing and other reformers were very excited and busy praising them.

For the reformers, this is great news, and it makes them even more happy than the victory in Zhuozhou.

Empress Dowager Cao glanced at the ministers, and then said: "I suddenly received good news today, and the old body only understood that the Great Song Dynasty cannot become stronger if it remains unchanged, and this change is necessary!" However, this change will take time, and it is not the first priority right now. The most important thing now is how to fight the next battle. Official, what is your opinion on this? ”

Song Shenzong had to come forward, glanced at the ministers and said, "What my grandmother said is exactly what I think!" Only by changing can we become stronger, and only then can we wash away the shame of the country! However, the most important thing at the moment is to fight the next battle. This battle is related to the fate of China and the national destiny of the Great Song Dynasty, and it cannot be taken lightly, and the Great Song Dynasty must concentrate all its efforts to do this! ”

The defeat of Zhuozhou is just the beginning, Yelu Hongji's counterattack is coming, and it is the most important thing to fight this battle. In the face of the crazy counterattack of the Liao State, the Song Dynasty had to go all out, and the ministers kept nodding, and no one had any objections.

"Grandmother, please remind your grandchildren about how this battle will be fought." Song Shenzong can completely make decisions independently, but the support given to him by the Empress Dowager Cao today far exceeded his expectations, and Song Shenzong is in a good mood and wants to make the Empress Dowager Cao happy again.

Sure enough, as soon as Song Shenzong said this, Empress Dowager Cao's eyebrows bent into a crescent moon: "Xu'er, you can have this filial piety, grandmother is happy." Grandmother can't interfere in state affairs, just to give you a wake-up call. Grandmother was thinking that the battle of Zhuozhou was fought very beautifully, and some people would think that the Great Song Dynasty was very strong, and it would not be a problem to destroy the Liao State, so they would write a letter asking the Great Song Dynasty to immediately send troops to Youzhou to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. Grandmother thought it was a presumptuousness. Although this battle was fought well, the strength of the Liao State was still strong, and it was imperative not to send troops rashly. ”

Empress Dowager Cao is a shrewd person, and her judgment of the situation is quite accurate.

"In addition, there are some people who think that Yelu Hongji has provoked the fire and will destroy the country, and they want you to give Yelu Hongji a letter to the country to make amends, and cut the land to pay compensation." Empress Dowager Cao's voice suddenly turned higher, and said: "Don't listen to these two statements, you have to have your own opinions!" ”

"Thank you, grandmother!"

Song Shenzong was most worried about this, and when Empress Dowager Cao said so, she supported him unconditionally, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed.
