I studied in modern times

Chapter 85

In March of the eighth year of Yuanfeng, Renzi (nineteen).

The two palaces issued an edict and ordered the three provinces to sort out the list of officials who should be enthroned and amnesty for crimes such as corruption, self-theft, and dereliction of duty, as well as the list of criminals who committed robbery, theft, etc. Verify whether it is within the scope of amnesty.

At the same time, the imperial edict emphasizes that those who have committed serious crimes and repeated crimes are not included and cannot be included in the amnesty list.

On the same day, the two palaces formally issued an imperial edict, ordering the court officials, Zhiji Xianyuan, and Zhihe Zhongfu Fan Chunren to go to Beijing to go to the palace.

In the same edict, the envoy of the Ruzhou regiment was restored, Su Shi was resettled in Benzhou Island, and the Jilu official was restored to Chao Fenglang, who was ordered to know Dengzhou and ordered to go to Beijing to go to the palace.

In the same edict, Chengyi Lang Chenghao entered Beijing, conferred the title of Chancellor of Zongzheng Temple, and ordered him to enter Beijing to wait for the palace.

This is the final adoption of Sima Guang's recommendation.

Originally, someone in the palace suggested that the old consort Duwei should be pardoned, and the Deputy Envoy of Yingzhou Tuanlian and Wang Shen be placed in Honshu Island?

After all, Wang Shen was punished for Su Shi's crime, and now that Su Song has been rehabilitated, Wang Shen should also be rehabilitated logically.

But she was rejected by the two palaces without hesitation—the empress dowager was tempted at first, after all, the Wang Shen family was the founder of the country, and the Wang family had been pleading with her all the time.

But the Empress Dowager Xiang resolutely withstood the pressure from Baoci Palace.

In turn, he persuaded the Empress Dowager of Baoci Palace to finally agree with her.

According to what the Queen Mother said-the emperor promises a thousand gold, and the officials have already said that Wang Shen will not be promoted or rewarded, so this decision of the officials should be respected.

Ma'am, you don't want the officials to be accused of dishonesty, do you?
The Empress Dowager was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: The Empress Dowager is right!

When Zhao Xu heard these things, he chuckled lightly: "Why isn't Wang Shen dead yet?"

Feng Jing beside him lowered his head deeply, not daring to speak at all.

Although the young master in front of him was young, in front of outsiders, he seemed lively and intelligent, sometimes naive, but in private, especially when commenting on such things, he became more and more like a Daxing emperor.

He could only lower his voice: "It is said that the person who begged for mercy in front of the Empress Dowager was Zhang Duzhi..."

Zhao Xu didn't have any accidents, and even rarely showed a ferocious expression in front of outsiders.

Feng Jing was terrified when he saw it. It was the first time he saw everyone's expressions so terrifying, even distorted.

The Minister of Internal Affairs knows how many times he has only met with everyone in total?

Why did he offend everyone?Still offended so deeply?

Feng Jing would not know, when he mentioned Zhang Maoze, and said that Zhang Maoze was trying to persuade the Empress Dowager of Baoci Palace to restore Wang Shen.

Immediately, a memory that could be called a nightmare or even hell appeared in Zhao Xu's mind, which also gave him a conditioned reflex, and he instinctively expressed disgust and hatred.

That was something between the first year of Yuanyou and the second year of Yuanyou.

Sima Guang is dead, and almost all new party ministers such as Cai Que, Zhang Dun, and Han Zhen have been kicked out.

Under the rule of the Empress Dowager Yao and Shun, the court is full of people in the court.

Zhao Xu, who was less than ten years old, was ignorantly doing the things he was assigned to do under the control of his mother.

Surrounded by people watching him.

One day, Zhao Xu's old illness relapsed, and the attack was severe. He coughed continuously, and even coughed up blood.

However, the emperor's palace only waited for Lao Zongyuan to report the matter to Zhang Maoze, and asked Zhang Maoze to send an imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment, but was rejected!
Yes!

The emperor was sick and wanted to see an imperial doctor, but was directly rejected!
Therefore, Zhao Xu could only drag his weak and sick body, looking desperately at the old maids sent by his mother in the Palace of Funing.

He felt that he might die at any moment.

How did Zhao Xu survive?

Cheng Yi traded his official career for it!
Zhao Xu remembered very clearly, when he dragged his sick body and went to Miying Pavilion weakly to listen to the lecture.

Those sitting reading, speaking, and lecturing, but none of them found that his body was already very weak.

Only Cheng Yi found out.

He immediately stopped his lectures, and immediately asked to send an imperial doctor to see him.

Only then did Zhao Xu receive medical treatment, and he finally recovered slowly.

But Cheng Yi was impeached for this.

Kong Wenzhong, the Zuo Jianyi doctor at the time, directly accused Cheng Yi of 'overstepping his duty' - the attendants and lecturers in the Miying Pavilion were either Long Tu or straight bachelors. Concerned about the emperor's body?
I think you must have evil intentions!
He must have the same treacherous thoughts as Wang Shuwen, Li Xun, and Zheng Zhu of the Tang Dynasty, wanting to confuse the holy king!
If you continue to stay with the emperor, I am afraid it will lead to the Yongzhen Rebellion in the Song Dynasty and the change in Ganlu Temple.

As a result, Cheng Yi was dismissed from Chongzheng Palace as a storyteller.

Therefore, one can imagine what happened to Zhang Maoze's adopted son, nephew, and nephew after Zhao Xu came to power—all were demoted to death!

In particular, Zhang Maoze's favorite adopted son, Zhang Xun, was demoted to Guangnan South Road by Zhao Xu himself, and then ordered the magistrate to execute him on the spot - Zhao Xu rarely killed people directly in his previous life, and Zhang Xun was one of the few He personally ordered the execution of the people.

This is the reason why Zhao Xu tried every means to hug the Empress Dowager Xiang's thigh when he woke up in the Qingning Palace, and tried every means to establish a close mother-child relationship with the Empress Dowager Xiang.

He needs the protection of the Queen Mother, as well as the care and love of the Queen Mother.

Only in this way can he have a chance to grow up healthily, and only in this way can he get adequate nutrition!
When the young eagle is dormant in the eagle's nest, it will open its mouth to beg for food.

When the baby dragon is hiding on the beach, it must obediently hide its body.

Only by waiting for the day when the eagle hits the sky and the dragon soars all over the world can I fully reveal my will and majesty.

Taking a deep breath and managing his expression, Zhao Xu looked at Feng Jing who was about to lower his head to the ground: "You didn't see anything, did you?"

Feng Jing tightly shut his mouth.

Not only did he not see it, he didn't even hear what everyone was talking about?
Zhao Xu nodded in satisfaction, and then looked at the entire Palace of Funing.

Up and down the hall, either the female officials and ministers selected by his father himself, or the empress dowager selected from the Kunning Hall.

These people might betray him.

But no one would dare to eavesdrop on his conversation with Feng Jing.

Moreover, they were all far away, and it was impossible for them to react in the instant just now and move closer to Zhao Xu to eavesdrop.

So, Zhao Xu turned his head, looked at Feng Jing, and said, "Go and tell the imperial chef to find a place near the imperial chef to raise a few milk-producing cows..."

"Buffaloes and yellow cattle are fine, and the milk is offered to the Palace of Funing every day!"

"Do you understand?"

"Wei!" Feng nodded his head.

Zhao Xu laughed happily, clapped his hands and said, "Then let's go to Kunning Palace and visit the Queen Mother!"

The Queen Mother is his umbrella, as long as the Queen Mother protects him.

Then no one can hurt him in Ouchi.

Nothing like those nightmares will ever happen again.

He no longer has to worry about being hungry or getting sick and no one will come to treat him.

……

When Zhao Xu arrived at the Kunning Palace, the Queen Mother Xiang was taking a nap.

Since taking office, she has had to deal with many things.

I still have to spare time to care about Zhao Xu's studies, homework, and Zhao Xu's daily life.

He would ask Zhao Xu about his diet several times a day.

Almost everything a mother can do has been done.

Through the curtain, Zhao Xu looked at the Queen Mother who was resting, and shook his head to the left and right, signaling not to disturb the Queen Mother.

He walked in lightly, sat on the side of the bed that the queen mother was leaning on, gently stretched out his hand, and massaged the temples of the queen mother.

After a while, Queen Mother Xiang opened her eyes, and then she saw the little official sitting in front of her, using those two small thin hands to massage her temples.

Empress Dowager Xiang's eyes turned red immediately, but she forcibly held back the tears in her eyes, and smiled instead: "Sixth brother is here!"

Zhao Xu said obediently: "Since the father was ill, the mother has been running up and down for the son, working hard and never resting for a moment!"

"It's hard for me to take a rest today, so I don't have to work any more, and let my son serve the mother's queen for a while, and be filial!"

Listening to Zhao Xu's words, Queen Mother Xiang suddenly felt that all the sacrifices and hard work were worth it!

She gently stretched out her hand and hugged the good boy: "With Brother Six's kindness, the Queen Mother is already content!"

Yes!

This child is her child!
Didn't Concubine De say that when she came to pay her respects yesterday?
"The empress nurtures the official family, protects and supports her, and she really has the grace of regeneration. The official family is filial and close to the empress. This is what should be done. The concubine is afraid. I hope that the official family will honor the empress in the future and say: Mother Empress, Empress Dowager, to respect the empress. The virtue of nurturing is to thank the mother for her love and care."

It's nice to speak.

Although the Queen Mother knows, it must be taught by someone.

Ke Defei was willing to say, and said those words willingly.

This is enough!

Zhao Xu leaned gently into the Empress Dowager's arms, and said softly: "I heard that the ministers of the three provinces are discussing the matter of pursuing the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager..."

"Yousi seems to have something to say that he wants to posthumously give the mother's father the prince of a great country, but only postulates the mother's biological father as the county king..."

"This is really too much!"

"Father of the mother's queen, he should also posthumously present the prince!"

Empress Dowager Xiang immediately laughed, touched the child's head, and said, "Sixth brother, this is etiquette!"

"Etiquette?" Zhao Xu pretended to half understand, thought for a while, and then said: "When you grow up there, can you give it as a gift?"

Empress Dowager Xiang was overjoyed, and said, "Sixth Brother is the Son of Heaven, so of course it is possible!"

"Think about it..."

"King Qin? King Chu?"

Empress Dowager Xiang quickly grabbed Zhao Xu's hand and told the child: "My son, these are big countries that cannot be sealed by non-clan princes!"

"Especially for kings like King Qin and King Jin, they can't be crowned unless they are princes!"

"That's why Emperor Daxing wanted to make Liuge the king of Yan'an County! Yanzhou is in the former Qin land!"

"What about King Wu and King Lu?"

The Queen Mother smiled and told Zhao Xu: "Good boy, King Lu is about to give birth to the Empress Dowager of Baoci Palace!"

"That's the King of Wu!" Zhao Xu looked at the Queen Mother seriously: "My son, remember, when I grow up, I will definitely give the title of King Wu to the queen mother's father as a thank you for your mother's kindness!"

"Good boy!" The Queen Mother was very pleased.

　Note: According to the conversation between Zhao Ji and the minister later, Zhao Ji recalled that when he was a child, he followed Zhe Zong to hide in the curtain of Funing Hall. Zhe Zong shared with him the snacks he hid, and told him that these were things that I hid with great difficulty. .

　　At the same time, Zhao Ji also recalled that when he was a child in the Zhezong Hall, he never saw any exquisite objects, all of them were pottery, and the food he ate was very simple.

　　Therefore, the officials of Yuanyou Group in history, especially those courtiers around Gao Shi, really courted their own death!
　　So the final fate of these courtiers is all miserable!
