No matter how precocious he is, Zhao Xu has not departed from the level of a child, and his concealment of his mood is like a joke in Han Gang's eyes.

Han Gang felt that Zhao Xu had indeed listened to what he said, and he would definitely take it to heart.

It's just that whether it's a grudge or a grudge has to be said for another time. Anyway, it will not be a proverb to take to heart as a guide for future actions.

As a courtier, when facing the emperor who made a mistake, he was not a sincere and fearful admonition, but a child-like reprimand, which fell on the emperor's ears, and of course he did not listen to it. The little emperor is at a rebellious age, and if he can listen to it, it is called a ghost.

But Han Gang didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his words, and if he couldn't listen to them, it was Zhao Xu's own problem.

If it were his own son, it wouldn't be as simple as reasoning. Although Han Gang has never physically punished his own children, Wang Yi will not be soft. In addition, Han Gang will also punish the child to write ten large characters, copy a book, or do a hundred practical problems, etc., Han Gang's children, except for the youngest, the others can be punished.

Most of them also saw the actual attitude of the little emperor in his heart, and warned the queen mother, "Official, what the minister said should be kept in mind." ”

Zhao Xu looked honest and obedient, "The child understands, don't worry." ”

Xiang sighed to the Queen Mother and walked over. With his hands lightly propped on the mattress, he sat down, "Sixth brother, at your age, you are not close to the age of a woman. The prime minister also said just now, you are too young, and it is not time yet. Whether it is a mother or a father, including the subjects of the world, they are actually looking forward to the official family being able to spread the branches and leaves for the heavenly family as soon as possible, but if you break your body now, how will you have children in the future, do you want your father to become the heir? ! ”

Zhao Xu's age is indeed young, he was born in Xining ten years, and now he can barely be regarded as twelve years old. At this age, meat is not uncommon in rich and noble families, and many children of rich and noble families have grown up from personal maids around this age. It is still inevitable to say it, especially Zhao Xu's body is not good.

Xiang said that the Empress Dowager was agitated, and finally her eyes were red, with an obvious nasal voice.

Zhao Xu's eyes were also red, and he choked up: "Niangniang, the child knows that he is wrong." ”

Empress Dowager Xiang wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and touched Zhao Xu's head, "It's good that the official knows his mistake." ”

No, there is no mistake.

There was no mistaken expression in Zhao Xu's expression, and the disguised expression could not hide from Han Gang, who was watching coldly, and there was too much impatience in it.

Whether it is prejudice or experience, anyway, Han Gang didn't see that Zhao Xu had the idea of admitting his mistakes. Especially when she said to the Queen Mother that she was looking forward to Zhao Xu's ability to spread the leaves, an obvious anger flashed across his face, which happened to be captured by Han Gang.

Could it be that Zhao Xu had already heard the rumor that the queen mother and courtiers were waiting for him to give birth to a prince, so he let him abdicate as the emperor?

This can't be regarded as a rumor, there are many people who have considered doing this, including Han Gang. But if Zhao Xu dared to get close to women when he knew that he would abdicate himself, would he really have no self-control at all, or would he be so stressed that he could only vent with this kind of thing?

It's just a matter of pressure, and Han Gang doesn't have any extra sympathy for the emperor.

"陛xià."

Han Gang's salutation made the two supremes turn their heads at the same time. Han Gang bowed lightly to the Empress Dowager, and then said to Zhao Xu, "If you have been able to change, you can do it." His Majesty can know his own loss, and the ministers are very pleased. But not long after the Empress Dowager ascended to the immortal, the period of Qi Yu has not ended, although His Majesty is the Son of Heaven and is not bound by this matter, it is inevitable that people will say it after all. ”

Zhao Xu's face changed suddenly, and his whole person trembled, he was precocious, and he would not misunderstand the intention of Han Gang's words. The bead curtain at the back door also shook abruptly,

Han Gang's words were as direct as a threat, and as he said, the most important point in this matter was that the time was not right.

After preventing Emperor Yingzong from getting close to his concubines, Gao Taotao made another move this time.

In the case that Emperor Gao died less than a year ago, Zhao Xu, as the eldest grandson, is actually not convenient to get close to women. During the period of Qi Ying, the filial sons and grandsons did not make themselves outstanding, but made women sick, if someone sued for unfilial piety, it was absolutely accurate.

Although the emperor kept the funeral of his parents, he counted them in days and months, and he was removed from the service in less than a month. After that, singing every day and having children, it will not be considered unfilial, at most there will be some gossip. It's just that the little emperor had a big unfilial act before, and now it's coming again, even if he can avoid the crime through the identity of the Son of Heaven, but in terms of reason, he still can't avoid the ridicule of unfilial piety.

Han Gang had no intention of scolding Zhao Xu for any unfilial piety, this matter was really not worth mentioning in his opinion, after all, nominally, Zhao Xu did not have to keep filial piety for a year, it was the emperor's prerogative. What's more, Han Gang had never heard of Emperor Xizong holding back for his father Yingzong for three years after he ascended the throne that year. Since there is a precedent, Han Gang will not say much.

In addition, he didn't see her dissatisfaction with Zhao Xu on the Queen Mother's side, but he hated her for not being successful.

But when this matter reached the outside world, there were few people who were as easy to talk as Han Gang. Zhao Xu's actions of remembering his father in the past will immediately be criticized for being cozy - no matter how unkind his grandmother is, the grandson is still within the mourning period, so she is immersed in women's sex, but it violates the Confucian righteousness and is humane.

Zhao Xu was obviously confused, and after a while, he raised his head with difficulty and bit his lower lip, "Xianggong, this is not what I want to do, it's just ...... but for a time he was deceived by the traitor. ”

Empress Dowager Xiang had a poor experience, and was deceived by Zhao Xu's little tricks to believe it, "I also know that this is not the fault of the official family, if it weren't for Hao Sui and others who were broken-hearted, how could the official family be sick like this?" ”

Looking at Zhao Xu's clumsy performance, Han Gang had a relieved look - he had finally admitted his mistake, and the response on the surface still had to be given.

It's just so simple to abandon the people around him, lack of sufficient responsibility, although he is still a child, it is understandable, but since he is sitting in the position of the emperor, Yiqiē's evaluation has nothing to do with age.

However, Zhao Xu's prevarication still gave him a chance.

"Her Majesty the Queen Mother is right, if it weren't for the fact that there was no one around the emperor to correct him, but instead induced His Majesty to indulge in pleasure and spare his own body, he would never have today's illness. As a close attendant, he can't correct His Majesty, and as a palace person, he causes the royal body to violate harmony. These second-class people, their deeds are well-known, and how to deal with them, please ask Your Majesty to decide. ”

Zhao Xu was so shocked that he almost got up from the bed, and hurriedly said to the Queen Mother: "Please also ask the mother to break it." ”

"Nope." Xiang Xiang, the Queen Mother shook her head, "The people around you, the official family, or you are better to deal with it yourself......

Zhao Xu raised his head violently, first looked at the Queen Mother, then stared at Han Gang, and then looked away in Han Gang's calm eyes.

Zhao Xu's appearance is still like a child, pale and white, and under the light, he looks very unhealthy. At the corner of Zhao Xu's lips, the fluffy beard can already be seen, and the Adam's apple has also taken on a little shape, and it has begun to break away from the identity of a child.

"Expelled from the palace......" Zhao Xu snorted, peeked at Han Gang, saw Han Gang's expressionless face, and hurriedly changed his words, "No, give death, give all of them!" ”

"Official!"

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but scream.

Even some of the palace people and chamberlains next to them were also frightened. Since Zhenzong Renzong, the Song family has never been so harsh on the palace people, dozens of lives, and they will be killed when they say they will be killed.

Empress Dowager Xiang didn't expect Zhao Xu to come up with this sentence, "Your Majesty, but do you really deal with it like this?" ”

Zhao Xu peeked at Han Gang and nodded, "Yes!" ”

Empress Dowager Xiang looked up at Han Gang helplessly, "Xianggong? ”

She has always been lenient in governance, and even if Han Gang and other Zaifu were the protagonists of the palace change, without her consent, it would be impossible for Zeng Bu, Xue Xiang and Su Shi to escape.

During the reign of Xizong, the number of people in the world every year was sometimes more and sometimes less, sometimes more than 3,000, and when it was few, except for a few special cases of only three or five hundred due to the amnesty in the southern suburbs, the others were also more than 1,000 people, but since the curtain was lowered to the Empress Dowager, the number of people in the Great Liber dropped sharply to 1,200, and none of them exceeded 300, except for the ten heinous crimes and murder felonies, almost no one was executed, and all of them were sent to the border to go to the real border.

In the first two years, under the auspices of Han Gang, Yuan You compiled the Xincheng - compared to the broad and often anachronistic criminal system, the compilation is the more legal provisions used in the judgment of cases - in which the penal provisions were greatly revised, the general article was reduced by 21, the penal article for exile was increased by 116, and the provisions on the reduction of the punishments of death, imprisonment, rod, and flogging were all added to the exile.

As soon as the compilation came out, everyone in the world praised the benevolence of the Queen Mother. And the Queen Mother also understood more clearly Han Gang's caution about the death penalty.

Zhao Xu's decision, of course, made Empress Dowager Xiang dislike it very much, but she had already said that Zhao Xu would decide for herself, and it was inconvenient to change her words, so she could only turn to Han Gang for help.

Han Gang frowned, "Your Majesty, if you don't use it properly, you will lose people's hearts, please think about it carefully!" ”

Zhao Xu raised his head violently, and two blush appeared on his pale face, which was the result of anger.

"Then please tell the prime minister how to judge!" Zhao Ji said with a cold face and a hard face.

"Your Majesty can make a decision according to the law." Hangang Road.

Zhao Xu insisted strongly, "Please decide!" ”

Empress Dowager Xiang frowned when she looked at it, Zhao Xu lacked enough respect for the prime minister, and Han Gang's hard work was wasted on him.

Han Gang didn't say anything, and looked at Zhao Xu calmly.

Zhao Xu was weak after all, and he could stare back with anger at first, but after being stared at by Han Gang's indifferent eyes for a while, his anger was splashed clean with cold water, and he couldn't resist this pressure anymore, so he turned his head away, and his momentum weakened, "Please ask Xianggong to solve my doubts." ”

Han Gang sighed, "Hao is a servant of the Inner Guards, and if he does not take his post, he can be used before he is assigned to the Anxi Army." As for the palace people, those who have not received the favor of His Majesty are also assigned to Anxi, and they are married to meritorious soldiers. As for those who have received the favor of His Majesty, the ministers ask His Majesty to go out of the palace to live in the palace first, and if there is good news, it is also convenient to recall them to the palace to give birth. ”

"What the minister said......" Xiang Xiang wanted to nod to the Queen Mother, but after thinking about it, he turned to Zhao Xu and said, "Official, what do you think?" ”
