The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 814
In the back, the Empress Dowager Quan watched the relatives of the emperor follow Zhao Dongting to the main hall, with resentment in her eyes.

Although there are only a few royal relatives who follow Zhao Dongting, it is undoubtedly still a deep stimulus to her.

Her Xianer is dead!

Why didn't these people have the idea of ​​justice for her?

After arriving in the main hall, Zhao Dongting did not show much enthusiasm.Treating these royal relatives and relatives who have suffered so much in the Mongolian plateau is just a few words of polite care.

Naturally, the atmosphere of the banquet was not very lively.

But the more this was the case, the more these royal relatives gradually became respectful to him.

The more arrogant Zhao Dongting looked, the more confident these people felt that he was.And these people actually didn't care about Zhao Dongting's attitude towards them at all.

They just want to be able to stand in the right team.

In short, no matter what, the throne will hardly fall to them.

Having suffered all these years in the Mongolian plateau, they just want to continue to be supported by the imperial court and live their lives happily.

Several years of tragic experiences have caused great changes in the state of mind of many people.

When the banquet was over, Zhao Dongting asked people to remove the food and drink, and asked, "Do you still plan to continue serving as officials in the court?"

Through this banquet, he also probably knew all these people present.

It's just some foreign relatives or the royal relatives who were in power at the time. In terms of the blood relationship with Zhao Dongting, they can't be regarded as the real direct line of the royal family.

Because Zhao Yu, the mentally handicapped emperor, was adopted at the beginning, and he and his former brothers are not considered biological brothers.So among these people, there is actually not even a prince.

But after hearing Zhao Dongting's words, only two people expressed their desire to serve the court in the end.

Zhao Dongting did not disappoint them, nor did they overjoy.Neither of these two officials was able to return to their posts. Although their official titles are not low, their real power is very small.

For the rest, they all just bear the titles of relatives of the emperor.In this life, he will probably never hold power again.

This is what they asked for.Zhao Dongting felt that he had exhausted his benevolence, and these people should not have any complaints.

After everyone resigned, Zhao Dongting followed Concubine Yang Shu and Le Chan to the harem.

It is very necessary to greet Empress Dowager Xie.

He can be a little arrogant, but if he doesn't even go to ask for peace, it will cause gossip in the court.At that time, Zhao Xian's assassination will only make more trouble.

Not surprisingly, the news of Zhao Xian's assassination had already spread.

Along the way, Concubine Yang Shu looked a little worried.

She is familiar with Zhao Dongting's temperament, and also deeply aware of the strength of Empress Dowager Xie.It can be vaguely expected that there may be a rivalry between the two.

After all, Zhao Dongting looks quite young now, so Empress Dowager Xie may not be willing to be an idle empress dowager.

Didn't she herself indulge in power by accident?
To Xiangqing Palace.

This palace was specially prepared by Zhao Dongting for the Empress Dowager Xie after she learned that the Empress Dowager Xie and others were about to return to court.

He did a very good job on the surface.

There are already guards outside.

Zhao Dongting and his party stopped at the gate of the palace, Zhao Dongting said: "Go in and tell the Empress Dowager, I and the Empress Dowager come to greet you."

The imperial guards took orders and hurriedly ran towards Xiangqing Palace.

Zhao Dongting suddenly felt a little playful, and didn't know whether the Empress Dowager Xie would see him.

It's best not to see.

If he doesn't see him, he will still be his Great Song Emperor.As for the Empress Dowager Xie, she would be able to control whatever she did in the harem.

But the imperial guard quickly ran out and said: "The Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager invites you in."

Zhao Dongting looked at Concubine Yang Shu, and walked into Xiangqing Palace first.

In the main hall of the palace, the Empress Dowager Xie had already changed into formal attire.

Looking at her at this moment, she has a completely different taste from before.People rely on clothes, and Buddha depends on gold clothes. Wearing the clothes of the Empress Dowager Xie, the Empress Dowager Xie's face added a bit of majesty.

After all, it was the woman who once controlled the Song and Song dynasties.

Empress Dowager Quan has also changed into formal clothes, and is sitting next to Empress Dowager Xie.

She certainly recognized the thigh of Empress Dowager Xie.Because she knew that no matter how much she disturbed her, there would be no trouble without the support of Empress Dowager Xie.

"The Empress Dowager is auspicious."

Zhao Dongting and Concubine Yang Shu all saluted Empress Dowager Xie.

"sit."

Empress Dowager Xie just said this word.Then, the hall suddenly fell silent.

The rest of the royal relatives are not allowed to enter the harem, and have been arranged to live outside the palace.

Zhao Dongting looked at the Empress Dowager Quan looking at him with viciousness in his eyes, but he just sneered in his heart, his face remained calm.

This woman is afraid that she has been dazzled by hatred.

But at this moment, a eunuch rushed in from outside the door and said: "The Empress Dowager, the Minister of State, Mr. Lu and the supervisory order, Mr. Zhang, are waiting outside to see you."

"Xuan."

Empress Dowager Xie gave an extremely straightforward answer this time.

This made Zhao Dongting slightly stunned, and then chuckled.

Is this just entering the palace and going to demonstrate to yourself?

It's just that he also wanted to see how Lu Xiufu and the others would choose.

He had already greeted Lu Xiufu and the others before. If Lu Xiufu and the others still chose to support the Empress Dowager Xie under such circumstances, then he would have to reluctantly give up.

This Great Song Dynasty does not need foolish and loyal ministers.Zhao Dongting really doesn't like those pedantic people who always talk about the laws of their ancestors.

Anyway, Zhao Xian is dead, the throne can only be continued by him.Even if the Empress Dowager Xie got the support of Lu Xiufu and others, it was only a matter of the size of the waves.

Zhao Dongting has never been afraid, but he is not willing to go to great lengths to fight for power.Because, that would be detrimental to Da Song Sheji anyway.

Soon, Lu Xiufu and others walked into the hall.They saluted Empress Dowager Xie, Zhao Dongting and others in turn.

Chen Wenlong, who had asked to retire before, also arrived.

Just after saluting, the veteran's eyes turned red.Seeing Empress Dowager Xie sitting here, he seemed particularly excited.

"Give a seat."

Empress Dowager Xie asked someone to give seats to Lu Xiufu and others.

Then, tears came out of his eyes suddenly, "Everyone should already know about the assassination of Emperor Gong, right?"

Zhao Dongting was a little confused.

Are these imperial relatives and ministers of the Song Dynasty all drama masters?
And Empress Dowager Xie's few tears really moved Lu Xiufu and others slightly.

After all, Zhao Xian was the former Great Song Emperor, and these old officials could not remain indifferent to his death.

Lu Xiufu stood up and cupped his hands and said, "My condolences to the Empress Dowager..."

Empress Dowager Xie looked at Zhao Dongting and said, "Yes, what do you have to say about this matter?"

Her name is Yes'er, not the emperor.

Zhao Dongting raised his eyes and said: "I have already dispatched Mr. Wang to Xinyang to investigate. After a while, I will give an explanation to the deceased Emperor Gong."

The Queen Mother suddenly seemed to go crazy, "Xian'er was the one who sent someone to assassinate, what else can we find out?"

She had a sad face, "Wang Wenfu belongs to you, and the results of his investigation are either what you want or what you want?"

"Humph!"

Zhao Dongting's expression changed, and he stood up abruptly, "Queen Dowager Quan, please speak carefully."

His sudden anger made Empress Dowager Xie a little stunned.

Zhao Dongting stared straight at the Queen Mother, "I know what you are thinking, you think I was worried that Emperor Gong would fight for the throne with me when he came back, so I sent someone to kill him, right? Hmph, Da Song was forced to I have to linger overseas, almost desperate. It is I who saved the Great Song Dynasty when it collapsed. How can Emperor Gong compare with me in terms of essay talent and martial arts? You really underestimated me. I don’t worry that Emperor Gong can follow me Take back the throne in my hands. I did not snatch the throne. I am worthy of my ancestors, the country, and the people! You can ask the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty in the Song Dynasty, who is more suitable to be in charge of the Song Dynasty? "

The words were loud and loud.

Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded.

Probably no one expected that Zhao Dongting's attitude would be so tough.

Even the queen dowager Quan, who just showed her teeth and claws, seemed to be desperate, just looked at Zhao Dongting in a daze for a while.

After more than ten seconds passed, she said: "Now that Xian'er is dead, of course you can say that."

Concubine Yang Shu gently tugged at the hem of Zhao Dongting's clothes.

Zhao Dongting narrowed his eyes slightly, and uttered a shocking sentence, "If Emperor Gong had been capable, the Song Dynasty would not have bowed down to the Yuan Dynasty in the first place!"

As soon as the words fell, the expression of the whole hall changed again.

Empress Dowager Xie's complexion instantly turned blue and purple, and she almost lost her anger.

She surrendered back then, but she was listening to politics behind a curtain!Zhao Dongting's words clearly meant that Zhao Xian was incompetent, but in fact, he was saying that Xie Daoqing was incompetent.
