In the vertical arch hall, the Empress Dowager Gao occupies the main position, and a number of ministers in the palace play the right to deal with the internal and foreign affairs of the Great Song Dynasty.

Empress Dowager Gao listened to the government and sat on one side with Zhao Xu, but Empress Dowager Gao controlled the real power, and all the ministers played respectfully to Empress Dowager Gao, and all Zhao Xu could see was the minister's back and ass.

Every time, after the Empress Dowager Gao handled the government affairs, she changed her words and asked the young emperor Zhao Xu on the side.

"What does the official family think?"

"Since the Queen Mother has already taken care of state affairs, what else do you want me to say." When Zhao Xu heard this, he said expressionlessly:

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty heard a strong dissatisfaction from Zhao Xu's words, but they had long been accustomed to it, and now Zhao Xu has turned sixteen years old.

According to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, it was time to be pro-government, but the Empress Dowager Gao was greedy for power and did not return the power for a long time, which caused Zhao Xu's dissatisfaction, and the court was ruled by conservatives, and the Empress Dowager Gao was their spiritual leader, and they tacitly did not mention this matter.

Empress Dowager Gao's cheeks twitched, she naturally knew why Zhao Xu was dissatisfied, but let her put down the power in her hands when she tasted the power, how could she easily give it up, and she could only make an embarrassing decree at the moment.

After the privy envoy took it, he turned his body and bowed to the dragon chair on the side and said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to use the jade seal." ”

Zhao Xu's face was expressionless, holding a huge jade seal, covering the jade seal heavily, and a huge sound echoed in the vertical arch hall, telling the puppet emperor's huge dissatisfaction.

"The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the official family, the ministers have important things to do!" After a government affairs were handled, Su Song, the prefect of Kaifeng, went out of the way.

Su Song is the most old-fashioned, he always adheres to the way of the monarch and the minister, and every time he starts playing, he first asks the Empress Dowager Gao to play, and then restarts to Zhao Xu, only at this time, Zhao Xu will have the feeling of being an emperor.

"Su Aiqing, please speak!" Empress Dowager Gao said with a smile. Su Song is old-fashioned and never rude, even she can't find any fault.

"Fan Zheng of the Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine came to Kaifeng Mansion yesterday to discuss medical skills with Weichen and present the prescription of the medical city." Su Song bowed and said, without hesitating to tell Fan Zheng's credit.

All the ministers looked at Su Song strangely, and it was rumored that the evil doctor Fan Zheng first kicked the Taiyi Bureau of the museum, and then went to the Kaifeng Mansion of the museum, it seems that Su Song, who had the merit of compiling medical books, was also defeated by Fan Zheng.

Fan Chun, the household servant, couldn't help but sigh, his nephew really didn't make people worry, and Fan Chunren was expressionless, yesterday Fan Zhengping had already given him Fan Zheng's prescription for the medical city, and even he was amazed.

At that moment, Su Song told Fan Zheng's concept of medical Taoism and the prescription of the medical city, and there was an uproar in the court.

"The source of the disease is alive!"

"Clean up the city and cut off the spread of all diseases!"

"Increase the cleaning fee and recruit poor people as cleaners!"

……………………

The unprecedented decrees made the Manchu officials talk a lot, but seeing that the imperial physician ordered Chao Yuan to keep silent on the side, it suddenly became clear to the officials that the source of the diseases was really alive.

"No, the collection of taxes is customized by the court, and how can it be rashly taxed because of the words of the evil doctor Fan Zheng." As expected, Zhao Tingzhi, who had just been promoted to the imperial history, strongly objected. , he was originally stepping on Fan Chunli's royal history, and naturally tried his best to target the Fan family, not to mention, Fan Zheng also stirred up Huang and his marriage with Su Men, and by the way, he threw himself under the door of Prime Minister Su Zhe.

Fan Chun, the head of the household department, looked at Zhao Tingzhi and suddenly flashed a trace of disgust, and retorted: "Lord Zhao is wrong in what he said, the cleaning fee is not a tax, and the money collected is not for the court's own use, but for cleaning Kaifeng City and protecting the people from epidemics, which is a good government taken from the people and the people." ”

"What Master Fan said is very true!" Fan Chun's words were echoed by many officials, who were already dissatisfied with the current situation of cow dung everywhere in Kaifeng City, not to mention the threat of epidemics and mosquito nuisances

"Good governance? I think that the traitorous minister Wang Anshi also said that his Qingmiao Law is also good governance, and the result is not that it has become an evil disease with endless harm. Zhao Tingzhi said with justice.

"The cleaning fee is nothing to the rich, but for the poor people at the bottom, it is a lot of money, no less than knocking on the bones." Zhao Tingzhi slandered out of thin air.

Su Song raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and looked directly at Zhao Tingdao: "Why do you think this official recruits cleaners, it is for these poor people, in order to find a livelihood for them, so that they can not only improve their lives, but also enjoy the discount of half-price medicine in the traditional Chinese medicine hospital." ”

Zhao Tingzhi's face suddenly turned red, he was originally standing on the commanding heights of morality, but now he was ruthlessly criticized by Su Song.

Empress Dowager Gao suddenly fell into hesitation, she is old, extremely conservative in thinking, she does not like any changes at all, so she will strongly oppose the change, but she loves reputation very much, this can benefit many poor people, if she refuses, it will definitely damage her reputation in the future.

Seeing this, Lu Dafang said: "This example cannot be opened, if the cleaning fee is levied today, the shoe fee, foot fee, and farm tool fee will definitely be levied in the future, and the people will definitely have a hard time." ”

Empress Dowager Gao suddenly leaned towards the conservative side.

Fan Chunren retorted: "Because of choking and waste food, the cleaning fee is now levied in Kaifeng City, and there is a fixed amount of money, we can witness the pros and cons of this policy, if it can benefit the people of Kaifeng City, then it can naturally be implemented, if it is harmful, you can play the court in time to abolish it." ”

Empress Dowager Gao's heart moved slightly, and she also thought that this strategy had many benefits, but her long-term conservative thinking made her subconsciously want to oppose the so-called medical city prescription.

"I think the medical city can work!"

However, before Empress Dowager Gao could refute it, a young man's voice suddenly sounded above the court.

Baiguan was suddenly startled, and looked at the young emperor Zhao Xu, who had been silent above the court in disbelief, and now suddenly spoke up.

Empress Dowager Gao's phoenix eyes froze, Huo Ran stared at her good grandson, and asked in a condensed voice: "What is the opinion of the official family!" ”

Zhao Xu's eyes were calm, and he said unhurriedly: "Grandmother Qiyu, my grandson thinks that Master Su Songsu is the most rigorous, if it is not really a good policy, he will definitely not play to the imperial court, and Kaifeng City is the imperial capital, if it is indecent things everywhere, it will indeed hinder the majesty of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Hundreds of officials couldn't help but bow their heads, Su Song's personality is beyond reproach even if he is a political enemy, and this policy is very beneficial to Kaifeng City, which can not only make Kaifeng City look new, but also allow poor people to get a livelihood, it is indeed a good prescription, plus the image of Kaifeng as the imperial capital, it really needs to be maintained.

"Second, it is the magic of Doctor Fan's medical skills, the previous seventh brother's eye disease was very serious, and all the famous doctors were helpless, and Doctor Fan directly gave three good prescriptions, and he was determined to cure the eye diseases of people all over the world, and the prescription of the medical city offered by such doctors must be a good prescription." Zhao Xu said loudly.

Empress Dowager Gao couldn't help but be silent, it is true that Fan Zheng's medical skills and medical ethics are indeed speechless, but Zhao Xu admires Fan Zheng so much, which makes her feel like a man.

"Moreover, the imperial grandmother also knows that in front of Xu'er, there are five elder brothers who died young, and the father is grieving for it, the royal family is like this, and the people are not like this, and now there is an opportunity to let the people of Kaifeng avoid the pain of their father, how can we sit idly by." Zhao Xu said with a sad face.

Suddenly, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were silent, and they could forcibly refute Zhao Xu's first two sentences, but Zhao Xu's last sentence directly blocked everyone's opposition, after all, they witnessed the tragedy of Song Shenzong's five sons in a row, and all the battles between good and evil government are not enemies.

"The official family is pure filial piety and loves the people, and the mourning family is greatly comforted, so according to the official family, they allowed Kaifeng City to collect cleaning fees and implement the prescription of the medical city."

Seeing the sudden insistence of Zhao Xu, who was originally submissive, Empress Dowager Gao's face changed, but in the end she could only nod in agreement.

Although she can rely on her prestige to suppress Zhao Xu again, she understands in her heart that the more ruthlessly she suppresses Zhao Xu now, the more ruthless Zhao Xu will rebound in the future.

"The official is wise! The Empress Dowager is merciful! ”

Hundreds of officials congratulated one after another, and the court and the court were once again in harmony.

However, everyone knows that the young emperor has openly spoken out in the court for the first time, and there will be a second and a third time,............。

The biggest power struggle in the Great Song Dynasty is about to begin, where will they go, and now the ministers can't help but set their eyes on Fan Chunren, is the Fan family really standing in line in advance?

Fan Chunren's face was expressionless, but in his heart, Fan Zheng had already scolded him, this rebel nephew, you have already sent your father to Bozhou, and now you don't even let go of the position of prime minister of the second uncle.
