A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Nian Gen's palace gradually became more joyful, and the sadness caused by the death of the late emperor gradually dissipated.

Gao Taotao has a headache. She held the booklet and said, "So many people want rewards, it gives me a headache!"

The late emperor's mausoleum cost a lot of money, which made life in the palace more difficult. But in a blink of an eye, it’s Zhao Shu’s reign, and it’s okay if everyone doesn’t celebrate such a festive event!

So Gao Taotao is in pain and happiness.

The burly Feiyan said: "Sage, slave... slave..."

She was tall and tall, but she looked shy like a little girl, which made Ren Shouzhong beside him couldn't help but turn his head and retched.

"say!"

Gao Taotao put down the booklet, and Zhaojun, whom Guoguo had seen once and rated as Grandma Wolf, came over to massage her shoulders.

Feiyan said: "Sage, since we are doing things in the palace, the clan members and important ministers outside the palace should also give some gifts, right?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Gao Taotao pointed at her and laughed, feeling much better for a rare moment, "You, you, this is the style of the royal family. If the royal family wants to reward people in the palace and has to borrow money from outsiders, that would be dangerous."

She wanted to give a few examples, but Feiyan looked confused and shook her head: "Royal dignity!"

"Sage." A person came outside, "The official said there is something happy..."

"What happy event?"

Gao Taotao had a smile on his face, thinking that it would be best to have a happy event at this time.

The visitor said happily: "They say they are planning to let the king leave the cabinet!"

She thought it was a happy event, but Gao Taotao dropped the book and said solemnly: "Dalang is still young! Why so early?"

…

"Dalang is not young anymore."

Zhao Shu looked at his eldest son and saw that he was standing tall and straight and his eyes were full of energy. He nodded and said, "When you leave the cabinet, do you know what you can do after you leave the cabinet?"

Zhao Xu was happy in his heart, but he was holding back. He said: "Dad, after leaving the cabinet, the child can go out to live in a foreign country, but it will be difficult to spend money in the court, so this item will be exempted, right?"

The so-called foreign residence refers to the palace.

Zhao Xu's current identity is the Prince of Huaiyang, so he should have a palace. But Zhao Shu had just succeeded to the throne and had not prepared these things yet.

Moreover, he is the eldest son of the emperor and will inherit the throne if nothing unexpected happens in the future, so it is impossible for him to live outside the palace.

Zhao Shu nodded, "From now on you will have subordinates, and you can still go to court... This is the opening of a mansion..."

"The child is too young to participate in politics."

Zhao Xu knelt down. This was the rule. According to the rules of the old Zhao family, the eldest son of the emperor can go to court, but he has no right to participate in politics.

Of course, this depends on the intention of the current emperor. If he feels that he is not afraid or worried about your son seizing power, then there is no problem in letting you participate in politics.

After all, this system still inherited and borrowed from the system of the former Tang Dynasty, but it was far less than the scale and vigor of the former Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhao Xu's resignation from the cabinet was relatively simple, as he only had the right to go to court. But he also lost a right.

Zhao Xu sighed: "I'm afraid your mother will be sad, so go ahead. The Queen Mother will also go."

"yes."

Zhao Xu kowtowed and stood up to leave.

From then on, he was not only Zhao Shu's son, but also a minister.

Naturally, ministers cannot enter and leave the harem at will, so he has to say goodbye to his mother and Queen Mother Cao.

Chen Zhongheng personally took him to the harem and was silent all the way.

The temper of today's official family is not good. As a person around you, you will be scolded if you are not careful. This is true even for Chen Zhongheng, a respectable chamberlain, let alone others.

But this king was different. He looked very kind. Many chamberlains and maids said that the king would definitely be a kind emperor in the future.

But Chen Zhongheng felt a little weird, indescribably weird.

There are only two useful chamberlains around this king, one is Qiao Er and the other is Wang Chongnian.

Qiao Er is very active, and everyone in the palace is watching him play both sides, waiting for the king to deal with him one day.

But the king didn't move, as if he didn't notice.

There is also Wang Chongnian. This guy has a silly and innocent smile, which makes people want to bully him when they see him. At the beginning, many people said that Wang Chongnian would definitely be unstable and would be squeezed out by Qiao Er soon.

Who would have known that Wang Chongnian would actually gain a firm foothold by Zhao Xu's side and be given a high position, which many people couldn't believe.

But Chen Zhongheng knew that Wang Chongnian's character was probably very stupid and naive. He had his own strengths. Otherwise, how could Zhao Xu reuse him?

This great king never said anything, but Qiao Er was pushed to the sidelines, and he even gained a reputation for kindness...

Is this intentional or unintentional?

Chen Zhongheng pondered all the way, and was finally woken up by a cry of grief.

"My son..."

Gao Taotao stood outside the palace, dressed in a queen's attire, which frightened Chen Zhongheng to the point of pissing.

Saint, what are you going to do?

Except for major ceremonies, the queen has never been seen wearing this heavy outfit.

What are you doing?

He glanced at Ren Shouzhong and others, and when he saw their dull faces, he knew that the queen was probably going to meet the officials.

If these two couples get into trouble, there will be no peace in the palace.

But after seeing Zhao Xu, Gao Taotao rushed over, took his hand and asked, "What did your father say?"

"Dad said that the child should come out of the cabinet."

Young people who have never raised children and don’t know their parents’ thoughts...

Zhao Xu felt that this matter was nothing. He was just semi-independent from now on. This was not a big deal!

But in Gao Taotao's eyes, his eldest son is only more than ten years old. How can it be that it's time for him to leave the government?

According to her idea, it is best for her children to be with her for the rest of their lives. This was realized later.

After Zhao Xu succeeded to the throne, his two younger brothers felt a little uncomfortable living in the palace. At their age, this was a bit uncomfortable! So he wrote to ask for help.

But Zhao Xu forced them to stay in the palace for more than ten years. During these more than ten years, the two brothers Zhao Hao wrote dozens of letters, but Zhao Xu dismissed them dozens of times in the name of family harmony.

In the end, Zhao Xu agreed, but they were not allowed to move out.

So the two brothers had the misfortune to live in the palace until Zhao Xu died and Zhe Zong succeeded to the throne, and finally they were free.

So many years! I have been squatting in the palace, and I don't know if the two brothers will go crazy.

Most of these family happiness are for Gao Taotao, and by the way, Queen Mother Cao.

The loneliness of the widow in the palace is very understandable. Most people can't stand the days of sitting at the bottom of a well with no one around them, so they especially like to have their children by their side.

Zhao Xu thought it was normal, but Gao Taotao's expression changed.

She lifted her heavy clothes and shouted: "Go see the official!"

"yes!"

The chamberlains and maids responded in unison: "Yes."

Instantly filled with murderous intent, Zhao Xu was dumbfounded.

"mother……"

"You wait here."

Gao Taotao's willow eyebrows stood up, no matter how stupid Zhao Xu was, he knew that his mother was going crazy.

Is this going to the fire union?

He shouted: "Mom, the child is still in the palace!"

I'm not moving, so why are you anxious?

Gao Taotao said without looking back: "But it's hard to come in."

Leaving the cabinet means that the relationship between emperor and minister has changed. When they meet again, his son will have to call him a saint. How can Gao Taotao endure this.

She aggressively went to trouble Zhao Shu, and Zhao Xu was dumbfounded.

Chen Zhongheng held a moment of silence for the officials in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, let's go to the empress' side."

Zhao Xu nodded and went to Empress Dowager Cao.

It was cold in the palace in winter, and Queen Mother Cao stood under the eaves in plain clothes with cold eyes.

"Your Majesty, the king is here."

"Um?"

Queen Mother Cao looked up and saw that Chen Zhongheng was accompanying her, and sighed, "I'm old."

She knew what it meant.

Before and after, Zhao Xu saluted, and then talked about his intention to leave the cabinet.

"Hey, you are getting older too." Empress Dowager Cao sighed: "I remember that when I saw you that year, I looked like a child, but now you are like a young man. You should pay attention after you leave the cabinet. By the way, what arrangements have the official family arranged for you? manpower?"

As the eldest son of the emperor, Zhao Xu needed to be equipped with subordinate officials when he left the cabinet.

Zhao Xu said: "Yishan is Wang Tao... Your Majesty, please take care of yourself in the palace."

Queen Mother Cao nodded, with tears in her eyes.

"Wang Tao remembers that it's okay. You should be good at studying and observing politics."

"Yes." Zhao Xu was also a little sad, and then resigned.

After coming out of here, he went to the front again.

Zhao Shu was drinking tea, and a waiter beside him was advising: "This is the most effective tea to remove the fire. No matter how much you drink, the fire will disappear... You don't know, officials, that the fire can be harmful to the body. Back then, I encountered it when I was at home, and a... king came."

Zhao Shu said anxiously, "What did you tell your mother?"

He is just such a woman, and there is no room for relaxation when she makes a fuss.

"The child said that the cabinet is coming..."

Zhao Xu felt that he was innocent, but Zhao Shu said angrily: "I can't even say anything to soften it. Where did you read the book? Well, this is not in the book. You have to marry a wife, and then knew."

I can’t explain how unreasonable a woman is, son! You have to experience it yourself.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shu said with a straight face: "You are old now. I will make a decision for you later. You should also be careful in the future to avoid being teased by the woman."

Are you preparing a wife?

Zhao Xu felt hot in his heart and agreed.

It was when he had just sprouted the idea that he was really looking forward to a woman sleeping with him.

Zhao Shu had just been scolded by Gao Taotao, and he felt depressed. Seeing his son's silence, he said dissatisfiedly: "Among your subordinates, Wang Tao is a safe one, and the others are also fine. It's just that I'm still thinking about it, the minister." .”

Zhao Xu lowered his head. He had no say in this. He could only hope that no old scholar would be found. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net

Zhao Shu glanced at him and said with a strange expression: "You can come tomorrow too."

This is settled. From tomorrow on, the relationship between monarch and minister will be mixed with the relationship between father and son.

"yes."

Zhao Xu was a little confused. After returning to Qingning Palace, Qiao Er got a hot towel and said, "Your Majesty, wipe your face."

When Zhao Xu leaves the cabinet, it is equivalent to having the qualifications to succeed him. In the future, he can talk to the ministers face to face instead of being a transparent person around the officials.

This was a huge improvement. As someone close to Zhao Xu, Qiao Er felt that his luck was really incredible.

From the moment he came to Zhao Xu's side, he never missed a step. Zhao Xu walked up step by step and never stopped.

Zhao Xu took the towel and covered his face. After a long time, he took off the towel and his face was a little red.

"This is a start."
