Chapter 137: Removing the curtain and returning to power
So now Empress Dowager Yang has already seen through Shi Miyuan, and began to regret what she has done over the years, and it is under her connivance and protection in the palace that Shi Miyuan is now full-fledged and has become another powerful minister after Han Yanxuan, forming a tail that cannot be dropped, and now Empress Dowager Yang looks around, but finds that she is no longer able to control this Shi Miyuan, so think about this abolition, and then listen to the advice of the Yang brothers, Only then did I have the idea of removing the curtain and returning power to Zhao Yun.

And today's fireworks, although she was a little angry at the beginning, but after coming back, she thought about it carefully, and she didn't believe that Zhao Yun did it on purpose, and Zhao Yun was not far from her at the time, once she missed, Zhao Yun was also very dangerous, thinking of this, Empress Dowager Yang showed a little smile, raised her hand and said: "Yun'er get up!" Shall the mourners blame you for this? This matter is an accident, the mourning family will not be angry, the reason why he lost his temper just now was that he was frightened, as for the waiter, he didn't have to kill it, after all, he was also unintentional, just reprimand!
The mourning family knows that Yun'er is filial, and can come over to say hello to me, the mourning family is already content, and now it's getting late, don't let the hundred officials kneel outside anymore, it's cold, some of the old ministers are old, and if they go on like this, they will hurt the old ministers, so let's go out of the palace and rest! ”
Zhao Yun saw that Empress Dowager Yang's demeanor had returned to normal, and finally let go of his hanging heart, and after repeatedly apologizing to Empress Dowager Yang, he cautiously said goodbye and withdrew from Ciyuan Palace.
The hundred officials heard that the queen mother had recovered, so under Zhao Yun's orders, they collectively withdrew from the palace and went back to their respective homes.
Only Zheng Qingzhi and Gao Huaiyuan stayed in the palace and accompanied Zhao Yun back to his bedroom.
"Huaiyuan! How did things come to this today? actually almost injured the Queen Mother, fortunately, the Queen Mother did not blame it, otherwise, you would not be able to escape the involvement! Zhao Yun felt a little apprehensive when he thought of the fireworks just now, so he complained about Gao Huaiyuan.
To be honest, Gao Huaiyuan really has some responsibilities, when he was arranging a banquet and performance with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he only thought about the guards, but forgot to consider the safety of this fireworks, so that he was not fully prepared, so that after this kind of thing happened, he was caught off guard and did not protect the Queen Mother in time.
Fortunately, today, the fireworks only flew under the Queen Mother's chair, if it was a little higher, it would hit the Queen Mother directly, and if it exploded in front of the Queen Mother's face, the Queen Mother would definitely be disfigured.
After listening to Zhao Yun's complaints, Gao Huaiyuan hurriedly lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "The saint's blame is reasonable, it is indeed Weichen's inconsiderate consideration, so that such a thing happened, please ask the saint to punish the crime!" ”
Zhao Yun glanced at Gao Huaiyuan, waved his hand and said, "What's the use of talking about this now!" I know that I will not punish you for this! You have to be careful in the future, the Queen Mother didn't pursue it today, that's it, if the Queen Mother investigates, let the Inner Servant Province carry this black cauldron! It's all to blame on them, it's not a little careless for such a big thing, pass on the decree, these attendants who set off fireworks today, one person hit 30 boards, the one who knocked down the fireworks, beat me 50 boards, drive me out of the palace, and never be hired! ”
So this matter ended with such a treatment, those who should be beaten by the board were beaten by the board, and those who should be driven out of the palace were driven out of the palace, which was supposed to be a good feast, but it ended with such an ending, which made Zhao Yun quite unhappy.
But this matter Zhao Yun is finished here, but the Queen Mother is not finished, the Yang brothers entered the palace the next day to meet the Queen Mother, and once again urged the Queen Mother to quickly remove the curtain and return the power to the saint, this matter is not much thought about, the two brothers think a lot, after going back last night, the two brothers got together and discussed all night, no matter how they think about it, they feel that this accident is not so simple, always suspicious and suspicious that Zhao Yun is forcing the palace, discuss and discuss, or think that the Empress Dowager Yang should remove the curtain as soon as possible. Get out of this pool of troubled waters as soon as possible, and pull the Yang family out of the whirlpool of power struggles that are likely to occur in the future.
Empress Dowager Yang thought about it for a while and felt that what the Yang brothers said was good, so she made up her mind and set a time to remove the curtain.
In order to make up for the unhappiness caused by the fireworks a year ago, Zhao Yun arranged another banquet during the Shangyuan Festival (Lantern Festival), but this time the scope of attendees was greatly reduced, and only the Queen Mother and some important ministers of the court were invited to the banquet, and a small-scale lantern parade was held in the palace.
On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, Empress Dowager Yang finally announced on the spot that she would withdraw the curtain and return to Zhao Yun, and decided to return to the harem to enjoy her old age.
Zhao Yun pretended to kneel down and kept him repeatedly, saying that he asked the Queen Mother not to remove the curtain, but the Queen Mother has now made up her mind, and finally insisted on removing the curtain and returning to the government.
As for Shi Miyuan and others, they didn't say much about this matter, after all, if they didn't do the business of these ministers, they would offend Zhao Yun if they said too much, after all, Zhao Yun is also the nominal emperor now, although Shi Miyuan is happy to control the government, but he doesn't want to have any conflict with Zhao Yun head-on.
So the queen mother withdrew the curtain and returned to the government, and since then she has retreated to Deokshou Palace to enjoy her old age, Zhao Yun did not snub the queen mother, and she still has to go to Deokshou Palace to ask the queen mother for peace, which makes the queen mother feel very comforted, and also makes her completely out of the scope of power disputes.
However, there is one thing that is still worth mentioning, before the queen mother removed the curtain, she still did a big thing for Zhao Yun, that is, she accepted a few harem concubines for Zhao Yun, and now Zhao Yun is twenty years old, and it is long overdue to marry a wife and have children to be crowned queen.
Therefore, this matter began to operate a year ago, so that the Ministry of Internal Affairs chose women of the right age in the homes of the ministers of the court, and prepared to select several suitable women for Zhao Yun to enter the palace to marry Zhao Yun as a concubine.
This matter is a big deal for the government and the opposition, so both inside and outside the palace attach great importance to this matter, and soon a lot of daughters of official eunuchs with good looks, talents, and ages were selected, and their backgrounds were written and submitted to the palace.
This matter originally couldn't have done anything to Gao Huaiyuan, he was just a military general, not a eunuch in the Inner Servant Province, this kind of thing was originally impossible for him to do, so Gao Huaiyuan was also happy and pure, and he didn't plan to ask about it.
But what I didn't think about was that the new internal servant province knew that it was Gao Huaiyuan who was elected by Gao Huaiyuan for Zhao Yun, this guy thanked Gao Huaiyuan for helping him speak, and he was very stammered with Gao Huaiyuan on weekdays, and this matter was definitely intervened by a lot of Gao Huaiyuan, but this Du Zhi was about to be sent to the harem queen mother for the queen mother to choose from, but he met Gao Huaiyuan on the road, and he knew that Gao Huaiyuan was the iron rod of the saint, so he flattered him, and asked Gao Huaiyuan to help him take a look, showing his respect for Gao Huaiyuan.
So Gao Huaiyuan was also inconvenient to brush off this knowing face, so he flipped through it casually, and finally the information of a woman surnamed Jia fell into his eyes.
Father: Jia She! When Gao Huaiyuan saw this, he immediately left his heart and carefully reviewed it, literally, this Jia family is very suitable for Zhao Yun, and from the aspect of her conduct, the evaluation is also quite good, but it is only because of the name Jia She, Gao Huaiyuan paid attention.
A very famous person flashed in Gao Huaiyuan's mind, this person's name is Jia Nidao, isn't it also the son of Jia She? It is said that Jia Shi did his best for the Southern Song Dynasty all his life and died, but he gave birth to such a son without dying, and became one of the most famous traitors in history, and how did Jia Rudao gain power?
Gao Huaiyuan suddenly remembered many things, Jia Rudao was originally very young after Jia She's death, and later became a prodigal, this guy can be said to have a lot to do with his sister Jia being favored by Li Zong in the palace, otherwise, this guy would not have been able to finally climb to the position of prime minister anyway.
And isn't the Jia family in this information in front of him Jia Yidao's sister? Gao Huaiyuan's heart was cold, and he immediately raised his hand to pull out this information of the Jia family, and stuffed it into his sleeve casually.
This Du Zhi saw Gao Huaiyuan pull out one, so he said curiously: "Why did General Gao just draw out this woman?" ”
Gao Huaiyuan replied casually: "You don't have to ask about this matter again, I have heard of this woman, it is not as good as the wind above it, it is not suitable to be elected to the palace as a concubine, so as not to mess up the palace!" The rest is nothing, you just have to send it to the Queen Mother! ”
Knowing this, I thought that Gao Huaiyuan was very familiar with people in Lin'an City, so it might not be true, so I didn't think much about it, so I packed up the information of these women and sent them to the Queen Mother for the Queen Mother to choose a concubine for Zhao Yun.
And after Gao Huaiyuan returned home, he unfolded this information, and after reading it again, he sighed secretly and said, I'm sorry Jia, it's not that you're bad, but who made you have a damn brother? Don't blame me for doing my tricks! If you want to blame it, blame that brother of yours! After sighing, Gao Huaiyuan stretched out his hand and threw the paper with Jia's birthday and various winds into the charcoal basin, and the paper immediately rose a flame and emitted a puff of green smoke, which immediately turned into ashes.
is just such a small episode, Gao Huaiyuan is equivalent to completely changing the future of the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, and he also knows that from now on, it is impossible for the Jia family to be elected to the palace again, and the woman who was eliminated in the first selection will never be included in the list of candidates for the rest of her life, and is this fair to the Jia family? But for the sake of the future of the Great Song Dynasty and the future of the Han people, he can only grieve this Jia family!
Because of this episode, in the end, the Jia family did not appear at the scene of Zhao Yun's wedding, and Zhao Yun's wedding began to prepare intensively after the Queen Mother withdrew the curtain.
But at this time, a news came from Huzhou that shocked the world, causing a huge earthquake to occur among the government and the opposition.
