Chapter 773: A Deal (Part II)

Zhao Yan is fearless, and there are only two people here, he and Empress Dowager Gao, so there is no need to worry about being heard, and there is a bit of threat in his words. Empress Dowager Gao was also angry and helpless when she heard this, because she knew that what Zhao Yan said was indeed the truth, and with the prestige that Zhao Yan had established in the court, it was definitely not comparable to a woman in a harem like herself.

Thinking of the above, Empress Dowager Gao also felt powerless, she thought that with the support of Sima Guang, Lu Huiqing and others, she could defeat Zhao Yan in one fell swoop and grasp the power of the court, but now it seems that she still thinks things too simply, and the most important thing is to underestimate Zhao Yan's ability, which makes her fall to the point where she is now passive, and she has to negotiate conditions with Zhao Yan.

"Okay, Lu Huiqing is a fickle villain, it was he who was deceived by him back then, so he made so many mistakes, the mourning family promised you, and Lu Huiqing will definitely be severely punished in the future!" In the end, Empress Dowager Gao finally nodded helplessly.

"Within three months, I hope to see Lu Huiqing demoted from Beijing!" Zhao Yan added again that Empress Dowager Gao only said that she did not specify the time limit in the future, which is absolutely not good.

"Good!" Empress Dowager Gao said with some embarrassment at this time, she wanted to delay for a while just now, but she didn't expect Zhao Yan to not even give her a little time.

"Haha, the queen mother is indeed a cheerful person, then I will mention the third condition, which is also the last condition, as long as the queen mother agrees, I will go home immediately, and no longer pay attention to the affairs of the court, of course, the premise is that the queen mother will not hit me again!" Zhao Yan also knew that things couldn't be done too much, so he finally put forward the last condition at this time.

"You say!" Hearing that there was only one last condition left, Empress Dowager Gao finally breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that Zhao Yan would put forward a bunch of conditions to force her, but now it seems that Zhao Yan is not too much, although the first two conditions make her embarrassed. But it is also within her tolerance, as long as the third condition is similar to the first two, then the deal with Zhao Yan will be completed.

"Compared with the first two conditions, the third condition is actually simpler, I have already said before, my eldest brother told me several times before he died. Let me assist Your Majesty until the pro-government, but now it seems that the Queen Mother is more willing to carry this burden, but I can't help but do what I promised my eldest brother, so I hope that the Queen Mother can hand over Your Majesty to me to teach! Zhao Yan finally said his last condition, because Zhao Yan was too young when he ascended the throne, so Zhao Yan was most worried about his future growth, plus he was selected by himself, so he had to be Zhao Maid. and the future responsibility of the Great Song.

However, as soon as Zhao Yan's words came out, Empress Dowager Gao's face changed, and at the same time she sneered in her heart, she felt that she had finally seen through Zhao Yan's plan, it turned out that he wanted to retreat as advance, temporarily give up the power of the court, and then go all out to approach Zhao Maid and cultivate the relationship between the two. When Zhao Yan becomes an adult, he will definitely be very close to Zhao Yan. With this feeling, I am afraid that Zhao Yan will become inevitable when he takes power again.

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager Gao immediately said with a straight face: "No, Your Majesty is young, according to the rules, he should have been raised by the Queen Mother, and the palace will help him choose a concubine in the future." How can it be so easy for someone else to teach? ”

Seeing that Empress Dowager Gao refused without hesitation, Zhao Yan was not surprised, and even he could guess Empress Dowager Gao's thoughts, so he smiled slightly and said, "Queen Mother, I know what you are worried about in your heart." But this is my last condition, and it is also the most important condition, if you feel that you can't agree, then the previous words should be the ministers did not say, we will come to Japan for a long time! ”

Zhao Yan didn't bother to explain anything to the Empress Dowager Gao, and he also knew that even if he explained, the Empress Dowager Gao would never believe it, so he could only show his tough stance on this matter, and after saying the above words, he turned around and left, he didn't believe that the Empress Dowager Gao would have the guts to really tear his face with him.

Sure enough, seeing Zhao Yan turn around to leave, Empress Dowager Gao's attitude softened suddenly, and she hurriedly shouted: "Wait, we can discuss this matter again!" ”

Hearing Empress Dowager Gao's words, Zhao Yan deliberately took two steps forward, and then turned around and said: "Queen Mother, you don't worry about handing over the power of the court to your sons, and the ministers will hand it over according to your wishes, but you can't be unwilling to pay any price, right?" ”

"Do you think this is good, the maid really can't be completely taught by you, but I can allow him to come to your class every once in a while, so it's okay, right?" Empress Dowager Gao finally changed her words, and when she said the end, her tone softened a little more, she was really afraid that Zhao Yan would just leave like this, and then tear her face to fight for power with her.

"Every other day, Your Majesty will go to me every other day to study!" Zhao Yan added again.

"No, Your Majesty will also be taught by other people in the palace, and he will go to you every ten days at most." The Empress Dowager Gao did not relax her grasp of Zhao Maid at all, and even bargained regardless of the identity of the Empress Dowager.

"Every three days!" Zhao Yan also argued on the basis of reason.

"Seven days, absolutely no more!" Empress Dowager Gao has completely put down her body at this time, even if she fights for one more day, it may have a huge impact on Zhao Maid.

"Five days! And His Majesty must be with me for the twelve hours of this day, and he will not return until the next day!" Zhao Yan finally gave way again, in fact, he didn't plan to teach Zhao Maid every day, the first is that he didn't have that time, even his own son he didn't have the time to bother to teach, let alone Zhao Maid, in addition, he also knew that teaching a child can not be too diligent, you need to be relaxed, so as to arouse a child's interest, five days is not too much, less is not less, and his teaching method is also entertaining, it should be for Zhao Maid to relax, after all, he is the emperor, Usually in the palace, you must also receive extremely strict teaching.

"Good! Five days is five days! Empress Dowager Gao gritted her teeth and said, Zhao Maid was in the palace for four out of five days, even if she couldn't spare time to accompany Zhao Maid, she could also let Empress Dowager Xiang accompany him more, so that even if Zhao Yan cultivated some family affection with Zhao Maid, it would not be too deep, at least it would not affect the overall situation of the court and politics in the future.

"Since the queen mother agreed to the three conditions of the son, the son-in-law will go back, and he will definitely not step into the political hall in the future!" Zhao Yan said and saluted the Empress Dowager Gao, then turned around and strode away. Empress Dowager Gao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw this, Zhao Yan's departure was equivalent to handing over the power of the court to herself. It's just that then Empress Dowager Gao suddenly frowned again, and she was suddenly a little worried about whether Zhao Yan would abide by the agreement just now? (To be continued......)
