Chapter 415 Lin Chong and Gao Qiu and Zhao Xu's Deadline for Returning to the Palace, the Empress Dowager

At night, in Xiao Peng's room in the inn, Zhao Xu and Xiao Peng sat facing each other, while all the girls gathered in the next room to drink, chat and eat snacks.

"Xu'er, you have to remember, after taking power, don't rush to denounce Sima Guang, Su Shi, Su Zhe and other old parties. This will shake the foundation of the imperial court. You can secretly convene a secret meeting with the new party and instill in them the new law in the essentials of governing the country. , and then slowly make changes from the subtleties, the most critical part of the reform is to grasp the rhythm, and you must not act too hastily."

"You have enough time to do this, so you don't have to rush at all, you just need to stick to one principle, that is 'subtle influence', and let the reform be completed unconsciously, then it will be a real success."

"I just talked about the government order. Now let's talk about the army. The army doesn't need to be as subtle as the government order. You can carry out drastic reforms. Here I recommend someone for you. You should remember it carefully."

"There is an instructor named Zhang Han in the Forbidden Army. He has a son-in-law named Lin Chong who is also an instructor in the Forbidden Army. This man is in his 20s. , was born with a leopard head and ring eyes, a swallow jaw and a tiger beard, and is eight feet long. He is called "Leopard Head" and "Little Zhang Fei".

"Usually, people with such a personality are mostly loyal and loyal. You can get in touch with them personally. If there is no accident, this person should be a general of my Great Song Dynasty. There are also some other talents. I will meet you later I will give you a list, and you can recruit talents according to the list, talents are the foundation of a strong country, so you need to pay more attention."

After hearing what Xiao Peng said, Zhao Xu digested it a bit, and remembered it carefully, and then bowed to Xiao Peng, saying: "Thank you for your guidance, Master, I have made a note of it."

"Well, good, one more thing..."

Xiao Peng was about to say something more, when suddenly his expression changed, he looked outside the door, Zhao Xu was about to ask, Xiao Peng pressed his hand to him, and signaled him to stop talking, after a while, there was a knock on the door, and Xiao Peng's consciousness swept away , and then showed a satisfied smile, "Go and open the door! It seems that Mr. Cao has done a good job in the past two years!"

"Oh?" Zhao Xu opened the door with great interest, and saw a well-dressed white-faced boy outside the door, he didn't speak, just turned sideways to let him into the room.

The young man lifted his clothes after Zhao Xu closed the door, knelt down on one knee, and said in a low voice: "Long live the emperor and the national teacher." The voice was high-pitched, obviously a servant First class.

"Let's get back down!" Zhao Xu stretched out his hand to help, and then asked, "How did you recognize me and the national teacher?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wei Shisan stood up and said respectfully, "My Majesty, all the Dragon Guards have a portrait of the Emperor, the Imperial Teacher and the Imperial Teacher's wife in their hands. Recognized by the younger ones, the younger ones have sent people into the palace to report to the ancestors, I believe the ancestors will come to pay a visit soon."

Xiao Peng chuckled and said, "He's already here. Hehe, Mr. Cao, it seems that you have made great progress in martial arts in the past two years! You came here so soon."

As soon as Xiao Peng finished speaking, the latch on the window automatically slid to one side, the window opened silently, a black shadow flashed, and Cao Mowen, whose complexion was more rosy than two years ago, appeared in the room. What surprised Zhao Xu the most was that all the white hair on his head had turned black.

"Meet the emperor, and pay homage to the national teacher." Cao Mowen clasped his fists to Zhao Xu and Xiao Peng, which was authorized by Zhao Xu. When he saw him, he only had to bow his hands in salute instead of bowing down.

"Haha, Mr. Cao, your skills have really improved, and you are starting to rejuvenate." Xiao Peng joked with a smile.

Cao Mowen bowed to Xiao Peng gratefully and said, "This is thanks to the great kindness of the National Teacher. Without the National Teacher, Cao Mowen would not be where he is today."

"Hey, why hasn't I seen you for two years, and Mr. Cao has become so polite? You came just in time. I have something to do for you."

Xiao Peng stood up, took two steps, and with a wave of his hand, the whole room was blocked by mana, and no sound could come out. Then he said: "The Privy Council has a Privy Councilor named Gao Qiu. You should send someone to let me out as soon as possible." He disappeared, and there is another person named Lu Qian in the forbidden army, who will handle the same, but be careful, do it cleanly, and let them die without anyone noticing."

Cao Mo asked Wen Yan and nodded. He didn't ask the reason at all, and didn't even need to ask Zhao Xu's opinion. He turned to Wei Shisan and said, "Did you hear it?"

"Yes, I understand." Wei Shisan nodded, cupped his fists and bowed deeply to everyone in the room, then turned around and opened the door to go out.

"Hehe, Mr. Cao is suffering. Come on, sit down and talk, how is the development of the Dragon Guard?" Xiao Peng asked Cao Mo to sit down with Zhao Xu, and then asked.

"Yes, in the past two years, the old slave has secretly trained a total of 230 guards, among whom more than 160 are servants. In addition, the old slave discovered that the Sunflower Book is not only suitable for the cultivation of servants. After the modification, women can also be trained, and the number of suitable servants is not enough, so the old slave secretly selected some court ladies to join the Dragon Guard, and this is how it has become today."

"In today's Funing Palace, all the maids inside and out have been replaced by dragon guards. They are extremely clean. Among the imperial guards and the inner guards, some of them fell under the plan of the old slave and Li Yan. On the side of the emperor, the old slaves on the side of the Chongqing Palace also placed a few dragon guards and hidden guards, although the Empress Dowager knew these things vaguely, she didn't say much."

Xiao Peng and Zhao Xu nodded in satisfaction, and Xiao Peng smiled at Zhao Xu: "Xu'er, Mr. Cao has already done what he promised us, so you should show something!"

Zhao Xu nodded with a smile, and said, "Naturally, you can tell me, Patriarch! Do you want to be a civil servant or a general?"

Cao Mowen was shocked when he heard the words, his eyes flickered slightly, and finally he sighed softly, and said: "Let's forget it! No matter whether civil servants, generals, generals or slaves, they are not that kind of material. If I become an official, I am afraid that things will be messed up." It’s a mess, forget it! The old slave can just be a guard by the emperor’s side, after so many years, I’m used to it.”

"This..." Zhao Xu looked at Xiao Peng with some embarrassment.

Xiao Peng thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and said: "How about this? Xu Er, you built a villa for Mr. Cao in the capital, and named it 'Hulong Villa', which is the headquarters of Hulong Yinwei. Feng Cao Lao is the first Hulong villa owner, the rank is equal to the same rank, and he only obeys the emperor's orders, and no one has the right to transfer."

"In the future, Mr. Cao will sit in Hulong Mountain Villa, and at the same time teach apprentices to pass on the skills, and cultivate more talents for Hulong Yinwei. At that time, we will find another family with the surname Cao, adopt a child, and pass on the incense for Mr. Cao, how about it?"

Zhao Xu's eyes flashed brightly when he heard the words, and he said happily: "Master's opinion is very good, and the disciple agrees, what does the ancestor think?"

Cao Mowen was so excited that he couldn't speak at this time, he just jumped up, bent his knees and knelt down, "The emperor and the national teacher are so kind, the old slave has nothing to repay, and I am willing to serve the emperor and the teacher. The national teacher's body is smashed to pieces, his heart and brain are smashed, and he will die."

"Elder Cao doesn't need to be like this, you deserve it."

Xiao Peng and Zhao Xu looked at each other, and a smile flashed in their eyes at the same time.

……

The next day, under the leadership of Cao Mowen, Xiao Peng and his entourage entered the palace. Zhao Xu made some disguises so as not to be recognized by others. He went to Defuning Palace and went directly to the back pavilion, waiting for Li Yan to see him When Zhao Xu, the rightful lord, came back, he immediately took off his dragon robe, tore off the human skin mask, and changed back to the costume of the dragon guard, and then handed over all the intelligence materials to Zhao Xu.

"Young Li Yan, see my emperor's long live, and pay my respects to Master Guoshi."

"Let's get back on your feet! You have done a good job, and wait a little longer, and when I take power, I will be rewarded."

After handling all the affairs and dismissing irrelevant people, the group sat down according to priority. Naturally, Xiao Peng and A Zhu took the main seats, A Zi shamelessly sat next to A Zhu, and Zhao Xu pulled Wang Yuyan to sit. In the second seat, the four daughters of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum stood behind Zhao Xu. Seeing that there were no outsiders at this time, the chatter became lively.

"Master, your palace is so big! It's much bigger than the Xixia Palace."

"Master, where do you eat on weekdays!"

"Owner……"

Zhao Xu changed back to the emperor's attire. At this moment, he suddenly realized that he was not used to it. Listening to the chattering questions of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, he answered them one by one with a smile, without the slightest impatience.

Looking at Zhao Xu who was wearing the dragon robe, Wang Yuyan felt mixed emotions in her heart. She loved her cousin deeply before, but he only dreamed of being an emperor, but he never cared about himself. However, this real emperor has nothing to do with the throne. It seems that he doesn't take it so seriously, but cares more about the people around him. Comparing the two, there is really a heaven and an earth.

"report"

After chatting for a while, a servant suddenly entered outside the curtain, "Report to the emperor, the father-in-law of the Chongqing Palace came to report that the empress dowager suddenly fell ill, please make a decision."

"Oh?" Zhao Xu's heart moved, and he looked at Xiao Peng.

Xiao Peng pinched his fingers and nodded to Zhao Xu with a smile.

Zhao Xu's spirit was lifted, and he said to the servant: "Let's drive to the Chongqing Palace, there is no need to prepare a Luanjia, I will walk over by myself."

"Wei, Your Majesty sets off to drive to the Chongqing Palace..." The waiter in the room sang, and then went out to arrange for the escort.

Zhao Xu stood up vigorously, and smiled at Xiao Peng: "Master, I have waited for nine years, and finally this day has come, hahahaha..."

"Yeah! Nine years, it's your turn to show your talents! Let's go! Go to the Chongqing Palace and see the old lady off for the last time." Xiao Peng smiled slightly, got up and said.

"Okay, let's go."

In the Chongqing Palace, the imperial doctors came out frowning one by one, just in time to meet Zhao Xu who had arrived, but they suddenly discovered that the emperor seemed to be a different person, looking domineering and majestic, but without the femininity of the past What's going on, but they naturally didn't dare to ask more, they just paid respects, "See the emperor."

"Pingshen, how is the Empress Dowager?" Zhao Xu asked lightly.

"This..." All the imperial doctors looked at each other, and the leader said: "Don't dare to lie to the emperor, the empress dowager's illness is the same as two years ago, it was caused by mental exhaustion, and this time, it was a real illness. Exhausted, already exhausted."

Zhao Xu nodded, and went straight to the back pavilion with no expression on his face, Xiao Peng and others stepped up to follow.
