Since Empress Dowager Gao was critically ill, the situation in the court and China suddenly became complicated and tense. Although the order to monitor the Xu Wangfu was issued by Zhao Xu, the emperor himself, not many people knew about it, but he couldn't hide it from the people in the city.

After Zhao Xu took power, many people knew that the generals and ministers of the loyal emperor faction were promoted one after another. The cruelty of this political reshuffle will continue until Zhao Xu's complete control of the court ends.

And most of the ministers who finally ascended to the throne were ministers who had been snubbed by Empress Dowager Gao before. Although they don't have any bad feelings towards Cho Hyo-seok, they don't have a good impression either. And stabilizing Zhao Xu's throne is what these ministers need to do.

Zhao Xiaoxi, who was given the title of the king of Bashu County, the commander of the cavalry and the envoy of Chengdu Daojie, is naturally the real power of the county king who needs to be suppressed. Even at this time, Zhao Xiaoxi never showed anything disloyal to the emperor.

There is a saying in history that the merit is high, even if Zhao Xiaoxi at the moment has not reached that point. But in the eyes of these newly promoted ministers, the only one in the court who can threaten the throne is Zhao Xiaoxi's family.

An imperial uncle who once touched the throne, and a powerful county king who holds military power. is undoubtedly the best candidate for Zhao Xu to take power and use it to demonstrate the courtiers. And his private friendship with Dali and his desire to become a Western Xia concubine made this worry even more possible.

The martial artists who had a good relationship with Zhao Xiaoxi in the past also wisely chose to wait and see during this time. This is a royal matter, as a courtier, no one dares to say what is right and wrong, but he does not want to see a situation where brothers kill each other.

And at this time, he just enjoyed Zhao Xu, who no one dared to refute himself, this supreme power. I think it's even more. If Zhao Xiaoxi really supports him as emperor, then he should cooperate with the suppression of his real power.

Just those princes and nobles in the whole city who are proficient in the world. When I started to follow the developments. Zhao Xiaoxi's sudden return to Beijing undoubtedly made this imperial city overwhelmed by dark clouds. It was thrown into a pebble and began to make waves.

But no matter what, Zhao Xiaoxi was so dusty that he couldn't even take care of his home, and went straight to the palace. It is seen by all the people of the imperial city, and this kind of commendable filial piety has undoubtedly increased the people's good impression of Zhao Xiaoxi.

The common people don't understand what the emperor thinks, and their evaluation of a person is more blind. Now it's a long way back. Zhao Xiaoxi, who went into the palace to visit the emperor's grandmother, had seen it with their own eyes.

When the common people and the minister were discussing what Zhao Xiaoxi would do when he returned to the city. In the Empress Dowager Gao's bedroom, the atmosphere was very depressing. Even many eunuchs and palace maids couldn't help but tremble and sweat.

Even though they desperately wanted to escape from this place, they didn't dare to move their legs at all. I could only bow my head and remain silent, watching the next development of the situation in fear. I hope that the next state of affairs will not cost them their lives.

looked at Zhao Xu's cold face. Zhao Xiaoxi didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to comfort the imperial grandmother who seemed to be in a much better mood when she saw him come back. And Empress Dowager Gao was only surprised by the arrival of the emperor's grandson.

Soon he added: "Leather monkey." Really grew up. Official, since you are also here, then we have three ancestors and grandchildren. Let's talk about it for once! Concubine Yi, you all kneel down and retreat. Without the will of the mourning family, the trespasser will be killed! ”

It seems that she has become the arrogant Empress Dowager again. After giving the order, the harem concubines quickly retreated. Those eunuchs and palace maids who were almost frightened and weakened finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, feeling that they had picked up a life.

With the chief eunuch, he closed the door of the dormitory and stood at the door to guard it himself. The concubines who came out were also very depressed at the moment, and felt that this kind of dispute in the imperial family would easily cause the world to shake.

When there were only three people left in the room, Empress Dowager Gao leaned on Zhao Xiaoxi and said very calmly: "Guanjia, in your eyes, who are you in the mourning family?" Do you really think that the mourning family is greedy for power?

Don't think that during the period when the mourning family was seriously ill, you wantonly adjusted the positions of the courtiers and replaced the commanders of the forbidden army, and the mourning family could not stop you. You know, the mourning family is the empress dowager of the Great Song Dynasty, and the national law can't punish you, what about the family law of the royal family? ”

Hearing what has been done recently, this imperial grandmother knows it all. Zhao Xu not only did not feel panicked, but felt extremely angry. He felt that he was the emperor, but he was still under the surveillance of this grandmother.

He said coldly: "I am the lord of the world, and the major affairs of the government are my business." No matter how big the family law is, it can't be as big as the national law, right? I've grown up, so why doesn't my grandmother always worry about me? Why? ”

Faced with Zhao Xu's cold answer, the exact point was to question, and Empress Dowager Gao was angry again. So much so that Zhao Xiaoxi could only helplessly persuade: "Grandma, don't be angry, your body and bones are important." Official, let's say a few words! ”

Regarding Zhao Xiaoxi's persuasion, Zhao Xu said angrily: "King Bashu County, are you accusing me? ”

So ruthless? Or are you angry?

Facing Zhao Xu's questioning, Zhao Xiaoxi's face stiffened, and he could only say: "Weichen doesn't dare!" ”

At this time, Empress Dowager Gao sneered: "Yes! Official, you are older, you don't have me, the queen mother, in your big eyes, and you don't have brotherhood, it seems that you have really grown up.

Okay, I'll ask you a word today? What crime did your imperial uncle commit, and why did the official family send people to monitor him and put him under house arrest in the palace? You called Princess Xu into the palace, in the name of taking care of the mourning family, but in fact?

The words of a few gluttons will make you forget the years of brotherhood. Leather monkey, although he has had private affairs, but he has never been half disobedient to you. It wasn't that he used his life on the battlefield last year, and this time your throne can be so secure?

Just because the skin monkey has a loss of personal morality, you do this kind of thing, and you let the skin monkey think of you, an official. You can't trust your own family, who else can you trust in the future? ”

Looking at Empress Dowager Gao's accusation, Zhao Xu was also a little afraid to look directly at Zhao Xiaoxi, whose face gradually cooled. After Empress Dowager Gao finished saying these words, Zhao Xu suddenly looked firm again, and did not dare to avoid Zhao Xiaoxi's eyes.

He calmed down and said: "I am the world, he is a courtier." What he has now is what I have given him. The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. Is it possible, he still dares to be a rebel? ”

For this answer, Zhao Xiaoxi finally sighed and said: "A good monarch died in the minister, and the minister had to die." Then Weichen dared to ask you, do you want to be that kind of monarch? Listening to this, Weichen's heart was chilling!

This time I went to Western Xia to participate in the conscription of horses, didn't the officials understand the good intentions of the ministers? Do the officials feel that after the Battle of Lanzhou, Western Xia will not be able to fight anymore? The official family asked himself, is the Great Song capable of forming an alliance against Liaoxia?

The officials sat on the Jinluan Hall and listened to the recitals given by the ministers. Can the official family know how many soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty are there at present, and in the face of Liaoxia's iron cavalry, can they turn defeat into victory? Just listening to the boasting of a bunch of civil servants, do they know how to lead soldiers?

Yes, it is natural for Weichen to serve the country. But Weichen can also choose to be an idle county king, but it really can't work, Weichen can be a ranger, which must be a joy in the world. Grandma, what do you think of your grandson being an ordinary person? ”

Empress Dowager Gao looked at Zhao Xiaoxi, who had a bitter face, and comforted: "Leather monkey, let's go!" The farther you go, the better, and when you miss grandma, go to grandma's grave and stick incense! This palace is too impersonal! ”

Looking at the conversation between Empress Dowager Gao and Zhao Xiaoxi, Zhao Xu suddenly felt that he was really too ruthless. But he is the emperor, he is the lord of the Great Song Dynasty, shouldn't everyone be looking to him?

Zhao Xu, who suddenly felt that he was standing here, seemed to be a little redundant, and quickly said: "Imperial grandmother, you can recuperate in peace, I still have something to do, so I will retire first." King Bashu, wait for my imperial study, I have something to tell you. ”

Leaving such a sentence, Zhao Xu quickly left the Empress Dowager Gao's bedroom and looked at Zhao Xu who left. Empress Dowager Gao finally let out a long sigh, she knew that this grandson really had the cold heart of an emperor.

When there were only two people left, Empress Dowager Gao turned her head and said, "Leather monkey, grandma asked you, have you ever thought about being an emperor?" Don't worry, grandma is like this, and she doesn't have many days to live. I just want to hear from you from the truth! ”

Regarding Empress Dowager Gao's inquiry, Zhao Xiaoxi finally said calmly: "I have thought about it!" As a child of the royal family, who didn't want to go over and sit on that dragon chair? It's just that the grandson knows that the dragon chair is not easy to sit on, and the burden of the world is too heavy. ”

Looking at Zhao Xiaoxi's very calm gaze, Empress Dowager Gao finally showed a smile and said, "It seems that my family's skin monkey has also grown up." Oh, yes! They all say that the emperor is good, but who knows the hardships of being an emperor? How easy it is to rule the world!

Over the years, your grandmother has paid attention to what you are doing outside. You did a good job, cultivating tens of thousands of iron horsemen for the Great Song Dynasty, so that the Great Song Dynasty finally did not have to be afraid of the Fanbang cavalry going south, and grandma was very happy for you.

As for the women you're looking for, grandma won't be able to see them. To be recognized by the Duan brothers in Dali, I think you are really good. Compared to other royal children, you are truly the pillar of the royal family.

Grandma's time is short, but she doesn't want to see your brothers kill each other. If you really can't do it, you can leave! Grandma believes that with your ability, you will finally have a place in this world. When Xiaoliu knows that he is wrong, you can help him again!

It is said that fathers and sons go into battle, and they fight tigers and brothers. Grandma really doesn't want to hear about your brothers killing each other under Jiuquan. Don't worry, wait for Xiao Liuna, tell him this directly, and say that grandma meant.

If he doesn't want to see it, grandma, I'll go to court again, then let you leave the imperial city. If your father is not a luster for power, let him go with him. There are some things that grandma doesn't want to say, but it doesn't mean that grandma doesn't know. Got it? ”

Listening to this empress dowager who has gone through three dynasties, she said such a thing. Zhao Xiaoxi was really shocked in her heart, she actually guessed that she was going to leave, and she was leaving with her family. But she still pretended not to know, it's rare! (To be continued......)
