The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1185
By this time, the empress did not want to make the matter of the birth of the prince public, and they knew it well.

But sending the prince to Heliancheng's family to raise him was far beyond their expectations.In the past, the empress did not reveal such thoughts.

It was not Heliancheng who spoke out first, but Zhongsun Zhouting.

He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the prince is a man of ten thousand gold, and he was sent to General Helian's house to be cared for. Isn't it a bit inappropriate..."

Li Xiushu looked at him deeply, "What's wrong?"

Zhongsun Zhouting's eyes narrowed slightly, unable to answer, and hurriedly lowered his head again.

He shouldn't have spoken so quickly, it was too hasty.

He knew that the emperor had seen his thoughts.

He didn't want the emperor to send the prince to Helian's family to support him, naturally it was not because the prince was honorable.But if the prince grows up in Helian's family, the relationship between Helian's family and the royal family will probably overwhelm Zhongsun's family in the future.But now, Zhongsun's family is the most deeply rooted in the Western Xia court, and is also the most trusted by the empress.

Although as long as the old grand master Zhongsun Qifu is alive, it is probably impossible for Helian's family to surpass Zhongsun's family.But at Zhongsun Qifu's current age, how many years can he live?
Zhongsun Zhouting's objection is really selfish.

Right now, the major families of Xixia seem to be harmonious on the surface, but in fact, they naturally still have competition and other thoughts.

He Liancheng watched Zhongsun Zhouting lower his head from the side, only sneered in his heart.

Zhongsun Zhouting wanted to get the disadvantages of the prince being sent to the Helian family for support, and he naturally also wanted to get the benefits for the Helian family.

He kowtowed to Li Xiushu and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, He Liancheng will take good care of His Royal Highness!"

"Um……"

Li Xiushu responded softly, stopped looking at Zhongsun Zhouting, and said: "I will arrange the grand master as the prince's teacher. When the prince grows up a little bit, he will be sent to the Imperial Palace to study. When he was in Helian's house, the prince Name it Helian Zouxiao."

Hearing this, Zhongsun Zhouting breathed a sigh of relief at the side.

It seems that the emperor still takes good care of the old teacher in their family.Let the old grand master be the prince's teacher, and Zhongsun's family will not fall out of favor in front of the prince.

And although He Liancheng was slightly disappointed in his heart, he didn't say anything.

It is not surprising that the emperor will not entrust all the princes to their Helian family.It's just that he thought too simply just now.

The emperor's mind has always been impeccable.

At this time, Li Xiushu said again: "I gave birth to the prince and sent the prince to He Lian's family to support him. From now on, only you two will know about it. Do you know what to do in the future?"

Zhongsun Zhouting and He Liancheng hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the emperor, the ministers will keep their mouths tight."

"Do not……"

But Li Xiushu said: "This is not enough. In the future, I will let the prince ascend the throne."

Both He Liancheng and Zhongsun Qifu realized something, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Helian and Zhongsun will always be loyal to the emperor."

In the future, only the two of them will know that Helian is the prince.In the future, if Li Xiushu wanted Li Zuoxiao to ascend the throne, she would definitely reveal his identity to the world.

And this, of course, needs two families as proof, and they will stand unswervingly beside Li Xiushu.Otherwise, it is inevitable that there will be many other voices in the Xixia Dynasty.

The news that the empress gave birth to a prince has never been publicized, but suddenly it appears that Helian is the prince, who would believe that so easily?

Even if you believe it in your heart, some people will deliberately pretend not to believe it, right?
At that time, only the full assistance of Helian and Zhongsun can probably suppress the rumors and opposition voices in the court.

After all, although Li Xiushu is now suppressing the major families, the real power in her hands is actually not enough to fight against the alliance of the major families.

At this moment, He Liancheng and Zhongsun Zhouting could not help feeling deep admiration for Li Xiushu's mind.

Letting the prince into Helian's house and letting the old grand master be the teacher is not as simple as it seems on the surface.What the emperor saw and planned was far more far-reaching than they imagined.

She wanted to make the Helian and Zhongsun families the most prosperous families, and at the same time firmly tie the two families to the royal family.

Because when the time comes, if the Helian and Zhongsun families do not support her in establishing the prince as emperor, then the two families will also face a sudden drop in prestige.

Xixia may have another civil strife.

And the Helian family may even be accused of hijacking the emperor and wanting to make the blood of the Helian family the emperor.

Of course, this is not what the two companies want to see, and they may not be able to afford it.

"All right."

Li Xiushu took a deep look at the two of them, making sure that they knew what she was thinking, and then said: "Then you all go down with your soldiers. After returning to the mansion, let the Grand Master and Dr. Helian meet tomorrow after the routine court meeting." Come and meet me in my bedroom."

"Yes."

He Liancheng and Zhongsun Zhouting agreed and left the room.

They knew what the empress would say to Zhongsun Qifu and He Liandong.

For such a big matter, it is impossible for the Empress to just explain it to the two of them.What she needed was the opinions of Zhongsun Qifu and He Liandong.

After leaving Li Xiushu's bedroom, Zhongsun Zhouting and He Liancheng assembled the guards and left.

When they left, the two still walked hand in hand.

He Liancheng said to Zhongsun Zhouting: "General Zhongsun, it seems that our two families will become unswerving allies in the future."

Zhongsun Zhouting nodded and said with a smile, "I hope so."

He Liancheng also nodded.

The two of them are the most promising descendants of the Helian family and the Zhongsun family, and they are also the candidates for the future family master.

Although it is only a few words, it can be said that they have formed an ally.

Of course, the premise is that when Zhongsun Qifu and He Liancheng are in charge of the two, the relationship between the two will not change.

After a while, pigeons soared into the sky from the Xixia Palace and headed towards Changsha.

The next day.

Zhongsun Qifu and He Liandong went to Li Xiushu's bedroom to ask to see Li Xiushu.

What Li Xiushu said to them, no one else in the Xixia court knew.

All I know is that after Zhongsun Qifu and He Liandong came out, their relationship seemed to suddenly become much closer.

Right after leaving the palace, He Liandong went to Zhongsun's house as a guest.

Although Helian's family and Zhongsun's family chose to support the empress before, they never had such close contacts.

This only made those ministers who didn't know about it in the court think that the emperor was going to make some big moves again.

Even the patriarchs of the big families strictly ordered the disciples in the family not to cause trouble, and many actions in the dark were quietly restrained.

After all, after the empress pulled out Pang Hongguang and others, the empress could be regarded as having a heart disease in Xixia, and they were the only major families who had not yet completely chosen to surrender.

In two days.

Changsha.

Zhongsun Guge, Xixia's envoy to the Song Dynasty, hurried to the palace to see Zhao Dongting.

At this time, Yue Peng and Zhao Hu had already led the Tiankui army to Xiangyang Mansion.

It would not take long for the Xianglong Military Region to be formally established.

Zhao Dongting only sent a decree for Yao Yushi to serve as the Jiedu Envoy of Tongchuan Fulu, Xiyi as the Jiedu Envoy of Chengdu Fulu, and sent Ren Wei to the Shuzhong Military Region as Marshal, and then returned to a leisurely life.

For example, the taxation, food and silver, water conservancy, civil affairs and other matters in the DPRK and China have been handed over to Lu Xiufu and others.And the officials of various ministries are also in charge.

Zhao Dongting had no intention of taking back these powers at all.

The monarch governs the ministers, and the ministers govern the people.Zhao Dongting didn't mean to do everything by himself, and he never did.

This is a kind of trust in the courtiers, but also a kind of self-confidence.

Zhao Dongting, who has created a great Song Dynasty in just a few years, is convinced that even if he delegates power, Lu Xiufu and others will not be willing to let the Great Song Dynasty be riddled with holes.

After the eunuch reported that Zhongsun Guge asked to see him, Zhao Dongting walked from the palace to the imperial study.

Only the pace is a little hurried.

He had forgotten some things before, but now that Zhongsun Guge suddenly asked to see him, of course he remembered something.

Calculating the time, if Li Xiushu is really pregnant, it should be time to give birth.

In the imperial study room, the first thing Zhao Dongting said when he saw Zhongsun Guge was, "Did the Empress send me a letter?"

Zhongsun Guge looked at Zhao Dongting, slightly surprised, "Exactly."

Then he handed the secret letter in his hand to Zhao Dongting.

Not even he dared to open the letter.

Zhao Dongting opened the letter, "The son Li Zuoxiao is born and will be raised by Helian's family."

There are only a few words in the letter.

Zhao Dongting couldn't help frowning slightly after seeing it, and muttered in his heart, "Send it to Helian's family?"

Li Xiushu was in the Xixia Zhongxing Mansion, and Helian's family was right in front of her eyes, so she wasn't worried.But Zhao Dongting, the cheap old man, was a little worried at this moment.
