Emperor Zhao Ji and Wang Anshi were discussing the trial implementation of the Qingmiao Law, and in the same Bianjing Palace, the Empress Dowager Cao was at ease in the Qingshou Palace!

Since listening to Han Qi's advice and handing over the power to Song Yingzong, she has rarely been concerned about political affairs and has begun to really recuperate.

She knows her situation very well, nominally the most noble person in the world, should be the queen mother raised by the world.

In fact, it is just a cold dignity, and the emperor is not his own son or grandson after all! Even if she has paid a lot, raised her since she was a child, and loved her very much, there is still a bit of a gap after all.

In the face of power, there are not a few biological mothers and sons who turn against each other, let alone between adoptive mothers and adoptive sons.

Thinking about how much he loved Zhao Zongshi back then, he raised him in the palace since he was a child, loved him in every way, and tried his best to let him ascend to the position of the prince, but unfortunately he didn't expect to raise a white-eyed wolf in the end!

As soon as Renzong died, and the bones were not cold, Zhao Zongshi began to plan for his father, and wanted to enshrine his father Zhao Yun into the temple.

How could Empress Dowager Cao be willing to be on such a principled surname. As a result, under the dispute, Zhao Zongshi actually drugged himself in the wine, fascinated himself, and then used the seal, which was quite despicable. When she came to her senses, she was already in the boat, and nothing could be changed. Zhao Zongshi was busy making his daughters princesses, and the rewards continued, but the few remaining princesses of Emperor Renzong were neglected and suffered very unbearable.

These two events have deeply stimulated the Empress Dowager Cao, and since then, the gap between mother and son has become more and more huge. So Zhao Zongshi died, she was not very sad, but she couldn't laugh either. After all, it was the white-haired man who sent the black-haired man, of course, the resentment towards Zhao Zongshi in his heart has not decreased, even after the titular grandson Zhao Ji ascended the throne.

What about the Empress Dowager? She would rather be a veritable queen mother! She once had a chance, but unfortunately the result could only be a bleak situation that could barely be justified!

Every time Cao thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh!

At this time, footsteps sounded outside the hall, and when Cao Shi turned around, he saw an old man coming. Although the beard hair has turned gray, it looks ruddy and energetic.

"See the Queen Mother!"

"Jingxiu, you're here, sit down!" Cao greeted very casually, because it was her brother's uncle Cao Tong who came, and the word Jingxiu was in the absence of outsiders, and it was normal for her family to be casual.

"What is the situation in the outer court?" Cao Shiping said that he rarely asked about political affairs in the palace, and he had been sick again recently, so he didn't know many things at all. Or maybe the emperor and the queen mother's daughter-in-law didn't want to let themselves know, or they heard that there was a lot of commotion in Hangzhou these days, so they became interested, and called their brothers to ask, Cao Tong said: "Hey, it's more serious than imagined, the official family sent Lin Zhao and Su Shi to go, originally to go to the salt case, but I didn't expect to implicate Zhao Shiju in the rebellion case!" ”

"After so many years, I can't imagine that the grandson of the big house still doesn't give up!" After Cao Shi heard Cao Tong tell the ins and outs of the matter, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "How to deal with it?" ”

"Zhao Shiju committed suicide by taking poison on the spot, and as for the others, they were all disposed of or arrested." Cao Tong said: "There are many implications, and many people in the big house have been demoted!" ”

"Yes, it's cheap!" Grandma Cao was born in Jiangmen, her surname is decisive, and she will never spare her shots, and then asked: "What is the situation of the fourth child of the Pu Wangfu?" How to dispose of it? ”

Cao Tong said: "In the past few years, hundreds of thousands of quintals of illicit salt have been sold, and the amount of salt tax is huge, and it is difficult to escape the responsibility, and it was seized by Su Shi and Lin Zhao. Now the official family has issued an edict to take away his title and imprison him! ”

"Really? Unexpectedly, Zhongzhen (Zhao Ji) This kid is quite courageous, and he actually provoked the fourth family! Cao Shi felt a little surprised by this result, which was unexpected.

Cao Tong continued: "I heard that Tao Tao came forward to intercede, but the official family did not agree, but persuaded Tao Tao, and the final result is like this!" "Naturally, the Empress Dowager is Gao Taotao, who dares to call it so, and there are only a few of them in the entire Great Song Dynasty.

"Speaking of which, Hangzhou can have such a result this time, that kid named Lin Zhao is really powerful, he is so young, he can do so much!

"The one who punched Zhong Ming (Zhao Hao) last time?" The Cao family still has an impression of Lin Zhao.

"That's right, just let him!"

Cao Shi smiled: "Last time, Zhong Ming was a stupid child, and he was used by the second child of Zhao Zongyong's family, but he didn't know it!" This time, Lin Zhao personally took action and knocked them down, which can be regarded as avenging him. Speaking of which, this person named Lin Zhao really has some skills, and the mourning family really wants to meet him! ”

Cao Tong said: "There will be a chance, he has some friendship with Cao Jian, when will there be a chance!" ”

"Oh!" Cao's gaze returned to the matter itself, and he sighed in a low voice: "It seems that Zhong Zhen still has some wrists, but he is not mistaken." It's just that these methods are a little too cold, and the relationship between their mother and son will be difficult to get along in the future! Maybe they will even kill each other. Grandma Cao didn't know if it was because she was worried about her niece who was the queen mother, or if it was a kind of ridicule to masturbate.

"No, their family is all a raccoon dog!" Cao Tong didn't have a good impression of them, and said: "But these killed the fourth child of Pu Wangfu, his brothers should be restrained, they themselves cannibalize each other, but it is much better than outsiders to do it." ”

"Forget it, let them go!" The Cao family has already looked down on many things, and in desperation, he prefers to live a pure life.

Cao Tong looked at his sister very solemnly and said, "Sister, do you really plan to live alone for the rest of your life?" ”

"Jing Xiu, what do you mean by this?" Cao's sense was very keen, and he immediately realized that his brother's words seemed to be very simple, and said, "Jing Xiu, do you know anything?" Or is there something hiding from me? ”

"Sister, the first two golden-faced sect masters have come to see me!" Cao Yan didn't intend to hide it from her noble sister, but she wasn't sure about her attitude!

"Him?" Cao Shi was really taken aback and asked, "What is he looking for you for?" Didn't the Lord's last order have already made him give up? Why did he ......?"

"Sister, isn't he doing this for you! What did Zhao Zongshi's kid do to you, his actions are not only dissatisfied with you, but also with them...... So, they're still trying. ”

Cao shook his head lightly and said, "Why do you have to be so stubborn? It's been years since it's been decided, and even if it does, what can it do? It's better to ignore it! ”

"No, he said it, as long as you're still there, as long as you can find it, it's definitely meaningful." Cao Tong conveyed the man's words, which were full of toughness and resoluteness.

"What can I do if I'm here?" Cao Shi sighed, shook his head helplessly, and said: "It's not what it used to be, not to mention that after all these years, there has been no clue." It's like a big hack looking for a needle, I don't have a clue, where to find it? ”

Cao Tong shook his head with a smile and said, "Actually...... In fact, they have found Mrs. Xiu! ”

"Found it?" Cao's suddenly, it has been almost twenty years, and the sky is pitiful to see that he has really found it. Even if she was not enthusiastic at first, when the result really appeared, she still accepted it gladly, and even was a little inexplicably excited.

"Yes, I found it in Yingtianfu!" Cao Tong is observant, and from his sister's eyes, he can see many things, such as the true thoughts or wishes in people's hearts.

Cao asked, "...... kid?"

"It's a boy......"

Really? Cao couldn't help but be a little excited, and then he was gloomy again, and hurriedly asked, "How are you now?" What does it look like? ”

"Uh......" Cao Yan slurred: "I don't know, I was separated from Mrs. Xiu when I was born, so ...... The child's life and death are uncertain, and there is no news ......"

Cao Shi was originally full of interest and excitement, but when he heard this, his heart was full of cold water. The children are destined to have a bad fate, maybe they can't escape this...... "But don't worry, sister, they are looking for it with all their might!" ”

Cao Shi closed his eyes, shook his head lightly and said, "Follow them, now that you have seen it, it doesn't matter whether you look for it or not." ”

The Empress Dowager seems to be very open-minded, or she has no choice but to do so!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hangzhou Mansion, on the first night of coming to Hangzhou, although the boat and car were tiring, Zhizhou Zhao Luan did not feel sleepy, but stood alone in the courtyard to admire the moon.

It's both looking at the moon and contemplating!

Although Zheng Zheng is gone, with Su Shi here, Hangzhou's government affairs are all in order, and the takeover is very smooth. Cai Jing, the commander of Yuhang County and the champion of the new department, came with him, and he can be regarded as knowing the roots. Su Zizhan already knew each other in Bianjing, but it was Lin Zhao from Qiantang County who made him very interested.

In addition to being young and accomplished, setting off a monstrous storm in Hangzhou, what interested him more was a letter from Qingzhou. It was written by his friend Ouyang Xiu, saying that he saw a familiar thing on Lin Zhao.

It happened that Zhao Luan knew Hangzhou and had more contact opportunities with Lin Zhao, so he was entrusted to confirm and verify. Ouyang Xiu talked about the origin of that thing, and Zhao Luan immediately realized that something was unusual.

There is a way that things gather people in groups, and Zhao Zhizhou, who is the iron-faced imperial history, has a close relationship with Bao Longtu, who was famous all over the world, and he also heard some secret things back then...... As soon as Ouyang Xiu mentioned this, Zhao Luan began to worry in his heart, could it be that he was ...... back then? Many years have passed, and time has passed, and it is better to keep some things in my heart forever. However, like Ouyang Xiu, he couldn't help but be a little curious, and he could only be curious at the moment...... "Master, it's autumn, be careful of catching a cold!" Mrs. Zhao appeared behind her at some point and put on a cloak for her.

"Hmm!"

An old couple of decades, Mrs. Zhao could see that Zhao Luan's mood seemed to be very complicated, so she comforted: "Don't think so much, as long as you don't go against your heart, haven't you been like this all these years." ”

"Not against your heart?" Zhao Luan muttered to himself, but where is the direction of the heart?
