Chapter 132 The Transformation of the Empress Dowager

The joy of the two palaces lasted until they returned to Ouchi.

In particular, Zhao Xie's report has already captured the matter of the western thief and the fake son-in-law dragging Juewei's name.Let the two palaces fight happily.

It's not that they suddenly like war.

Rather, they feel that this is an opportunity.

An opportunity to coerce the western bandits to surrender, and the two countries will cease their troops from now on!
"I heard that the empress dowager is now in the imperial court of the West Thieves, and the empress dowager is from the Han people!" The empress dowager excitedly discussed with the empress dowager Xiang in the Palace of Baoci: "Now, his son-in-law is in our court. In her hand, if she still thinks about family affection, she will send envoys to redeem her..."

"In this way, maybe the Qingli peace talks can be resumed! The two countries will stop fighting here, and each will be safe!"

Empress Dowager Xiang also smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right!"

"If the Qingli peace talks can be resumed, the two countries will draw a border and stop fighting, and the world will be fine!"

All the thief has is a bitter, cold and barren desert.

Let them live wherever they like!
Restore the Qingli Peace Agreement, and give a little money to the West Thieves every year, so that the West Thieves will be as safe and secure as the Northern Captives.

So much peace!

As for the old gift?

Just treat it as a beggar!
Moreover, they might be able to earn back all the money with interest in the border trade later on!

In this way, wouldn't it be better than spending 3000 to [-] million guns every year, and using hundreds of thousands of troops and thieves to fight in the barren and bitter desert in the northwest?
Zhao Xu just smiled and didn't interrupt.

Let the two palaces naively fantasize about peace.

Let them confuse western thieves and northern captives.

Let them mistakenly regard the empress dowager of the Xi thief as a peace savior and a person who values ​​family affection.

Because the facts will teach them.

Zhao Xu didn't want to talk, but the Empress Dowager wanted to ask his opinion, so she asked, "What do you think, Sixth Brother?"

Zhao Xu replied with a smile: "It's fine for the mother and queen mother to decide!"

"Studying by the side is..."

The empress dowager nodded, yes!

Sixth brother is so young, he really doesn't understand these things.

The Empress Dowager took Zhao Xu's hand and said to him: "Sixth brother, let's watch the empress dowager and the empress work carefully, and he will definitely make the western thief surrender and pay tribute!"

Zhao Xu continued to smile.

Pay tribute?

He donated hundreds of horses every year, Da Song donated money worth millions, right?
To be honest, if the Western Thieves were really like the Northern Captives, they would be willing to keep their own place after taking the money.

Then, in the Shaosheng era of the previous life, Zhao Xu might not have swung west.

After all, mobilizing teachers and mobilizing people is a big risk for him who has just been in charge. Once defeated, the pressure will be too great!
But... the thief kicked his nose on his face, shameless!
However, the two palaces looked at Zhao Xu's cute and sensible, and said: "The mother and the empress are so powerful. I want to watch and learn from them. They are all satisfied. They decided to perform for the officials. What is diplomatic maneuvering?"

Let him watch and study hard.

Don't go astray in the future.

……

in the afternoon.

Zhao Xu woke up after taking a nap, and just finished washing, the Queen Mother Xiang came.

"Sixth Brother, all the local ministers who will return to Beijing and who have been ordered to enter Beijing from today will meet His Majesty at the Hall of Yanhe..."

"It's all ceremonial things..."

"The empress dowager and I have already discussed it. Today, the empress dowager and I will sit behind the curtain, and the sixth brother will receive and condolence independently..."

The Queen Mother looked at Zhao Xu tenderly: "Can Brother Six do it?"

There was some anticipation and expectation in her eyes.

Zhao Xu couldn't help nodding his head as he watched, and said, "Mother, don't worry!"

"Let's see!"

However, Zhao Xu had some doubts in his heart.

The Empress Dowager of Baoci Palace has always been addicted to power, how can she be willing to delegate power today?
Unbeknownst to them, this is the contribution of the Gao family.

The wives of Gao Zunhui and Gao Zunyu's family have entered the palace every day, under the pretense of asking for peace, and while making things difficult for Sima Guang, they are speaking nice things about Zhao Xu.

In particular, Gao Zunyu's wife said in front of the Empress Dowager: "The empress is kind and holy, and the mother of the emperor protects and supports the official family. Now that the official family is smart, handsome, benevolent and filial, the empress should appropriately order the official family to come to the court to decide national policy!"

"After such an official grows up, he will definitely know the meaning of empress's kindness and love..."

"The concubine said something that was not very pleasant... Zhang Xianming was a lesson learned from the past..."

The Empress Dowager listened to these words.

How can the Empress Dowager not know the story of Zhang Xian Mingsu raising Renmiao?
When Zhang Xianming was hanging down the curtain, he only cared about seizing power and didn't give Renmiao the chance to cut off the military state.

When I was in the palace, I didn't get close to Renmiao.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager Yang of Baoqing, who was originally arranged by Zhang Xianmingsu to take care of Renmiao, took the biggest advantage!

After Renmiao came to power, he took the Yang family as his real relatives.

As for the Liu family?It would be nice if there was no genocide!
Therefore, I took the initiative to mention this matter to the Queen Mother today: "A few days ago, the officials had summoned the ministers alone, and both Chinese and foreign people said: The young master is holy, although he is young, he already has the testament of his ancestors and the posture of a holy king! "

"Your Majesty sees you today. It's a matter of etiquette. The queen mother might as well sit in the curtain with the old man and watch the officials' performance..."

This is planning for the future.

It is also a gesture to show the ruling and opposition parties that her mother-in-law never arbitrarily seizes power and prevents the emperor from handling government affairs.

And in Zhao Xu's previous life, Gao's family was trembling because of Gao Zunyu's stupid behavior, and they were terrified day and night!

Where can I say good things about him?Where would you speak in Baoci Palace, you have to consider the long-term.

Don't speak ill of him, and don't remind the Empress Dowager in Baoci Palace.It would be nice not to forget that Cai Que, Zhang Dun and Yan Da joined forces to force the palace.

……

Under the inner east gate.

The local officials who came to Beijing to go to Que this year have all gathered.

Arranged according to the size of the official position and civil and military, they are arranged in two rows, with as many as two to 30 people.

In addition to Fan Chunren, Su Shi, and Yan Jidao, ministers who have reinstated and extended grace.

The rest are all local civil and military officials who are expected to enter Beijing this year according to the system.

Although there were many people, there was silence under the Neidong Gate, and no one dared to chat casually.

Because Hemen Tongshi Sheren, who was in charge of the etiquette of entering the palace, led Yulongzhi to patrol the crowd.

This made Su Shi very anxious, because among the ministers who entered the audience, Su Shi found two literati who he had admired for a long time and wanted to know for a long time.

Yan Jidao, Huang Tingjian...

But he didn't dare to make a sound, so he could only keep looking at the two figures, winking, and almost raised his hand and shouted: "Shu Yuan! Lu Zhi! I'm Su Zizhan! I'm here! Look! I!"

However, his status is too high - he is already a court official!

The crimson robe she was wearing made people dare not look directly at her.

As for Yan Jidao and Huang Tingjian, one is to select people, and the other is to change officials. How dare they look around under the eyes of Hemen Tongshi Sheren?
After all, they are not Su Shi, and they have entered the palace without knowing how many times.

Fortunately, the palace gate was opened soon.

Under the guidance of the people from the Department of Communication, two No. 30 officials filed in.

Su Shi seized the opportunity, took advantage of the line to enter the inner east gate, coughed lightly, and then deliberately extended the end of his chaohu to the place where Yan Jidao and Huang Tingjian were standing.

Yan Jidao and Huang Tingjian saw the Chaohu stretched out in front of them whether it was intentional or not.

Then they all saw the writing on Chaohu: Shu Yuan!Lu Zhi!My Su Shi!
Both of them raised their heads and looked at the bearded man in scarlet robes a little in front of them.

A gleam appeared in the eyes of both of them at the same time.

Su Zizhan!I've heard of you for a long time!

Especially Huang Tingjian, who has actually been writing letters to Su Shi for the past two years, and the two are pen pals.

So he saluted from a distance.

In this way, the three of them followed the people from Tongjian Division and were led to the depths of the inner city.

Along the way, although they still dare not speak or talk.

However, it has begun to communicate with eyes or body language.

You can go out of the palace only after your majesty meets the emperor, and everyone can find a place to drink and chat about poetry together.

After more than a quarter of an hour, the people from Tong Jiansi stopped in front of the hall of Yanhe Hall.

"Zhilong Tuge, new knowledge of Gyeongju Fan Chunren..."

"Chao Fenglang, know Dengzhou Su Shi..."

"Secretary Provincial School Secretary Huang Tingjian..."

Hemen Tongshi Sheren took the roster that His Majesty saw today, and named out the three people with the highest official positions.

"Follow the door of my palace and wait for His Majesty to summon you!"

Today, only the three of them can enter the temple and see the holy face.

remaining people?

At the gate of the palace, bow twice to the emperor on the throne, and twice to the empress dowager and empress dowager, even if your majesty has seen you.

That's grades!
Originally, Huang Tingjian's level was not enough.

He is just a Beijing official!

But he was personally recommended by Master Wen to Lianggong!

That's why the two palaces gave him the grace to enter the palace to meet your Majesty!
