Chapter two hundred and fifty-eight pressure like tide
The next day, early in the morning, the palace was particularly quiet.
Zhu Xu was wearing a thick coat and robe, standing at the door of the imperial study room, looking at the increasingly reddish horizon.
Cao Huachun followed Zhu Xu and panted, saying, "Your Majesty, the dew is heavy, so let's be in the warm chalet."
Zhu Xu smiled, rubbed his hands, and said, "You said, did the snow come a little late this year?"
Cao Huachun glanced outside and said, "Yes, the snow has been concentrated in those few days in recent years. It's heavy and urgent. It's a bit late this year."
Zhu Xu sighed in his heart, which means that there is less rain, and the drought weather is getting more and more serious.
Seeing that Zhu Xu didn't say anything, Cao Huachun whispered, "Emperor, Zhao Nanxing, are you going to put some pressure on him?"
He knew very well that not to mention that Zhao Nanxing has no official position now, even if he is in a high position and is not a match for Zhu Xu. But he knew his temperament well by Zhu Xu. In the past, Zhu Xu could tolerate the outer court, but at this point, it was not a matter of his mind.
He was worried that Zhu Xu would be angry and did something 'irrational'.
In recent decades, the party struggles in the court have become increasingly fierce, and the status of court officials has also risen sharply, angering all officials, and even the emperor cannot get it!
Before Cao Huachun finished speaking, he saw Empress Dowager Zhang wearing a thick cotton coat from a distance, walking towards him as fast as he was.
Zhu Xu was stunned and hurriedly met him and said, "Sister-in-law, what happened?"
When Queen Mother Zhang got closer, her expression relaxed, her face was very pale and her eyes were tired. She looked at him and chuckled: "It's okay, I haven't eaten together for a long time. I specially made what you like to eat."
Zhu Xu didn't understand what Empress Dowager Zhang meant now, because she was afraid that he would do "stupid things".
He didn't reveal it either, and smiled and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law, where is Xiao Yongning?"
Empress Dowager Zhang wrapped her clothes and smiled and said, "She is still asleep. She has been tossing for half a night last night."
Zhu Xu looked at Empress Dowager Zhang's face and rubbed his hands and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go in and chat."
Empress Dowager Zhang also nodded, and her uncle and sister-in-law entered the warm room one by one.
The wine and food were arranged in a row, and the two of them were joking as usual.
After a while, Empress Dowager Zhang looked up at him and said seriously: "Tell me honestly, what are you going to deal with?"
Zhu Xu blinked and said, "Did the emperor's wife say, Zhao Nanxing or something else?"
Empress Dowager Zhang looked at him, sighed, and said, "You, Lord Zhao has served in four dynasties and is a veteran. You must not act impulsively..."
Zhu Xu smashed his mouth. This time Zhao Nanxing was really too much. Now even Empress Dowager Zhang takes the initiative to be a lobbyist, which shows his prestige.
Zhu Xu opened his eyes wide and acted innocently, saying, "Hey, sister-in-law, you are good at cooking. This time the pot meat is made well, which is the taste I like."
Empress Dowager Zhang frowned and said angrily: "Are you not going to tell me the truth? I heard that you have not seen any of them in the past two days."
Zhu Xu was helpless and finally realized the feeling of Song Shenzong dismissing Wang Anshi. If he hadn't been strong enough inside and had a clear understanding of the future, he would have compromised and allowed Zhao Nanxing to go on stage to make trouble.
At least be purified.
Think about Emperor Wanli, when he first settled Zhang Juzheng, the pressure he encountered would not be less than now. How much resentment would have made him not attend court for decades?
Zhu Xu had no appetite anymore. After thinking about it, he gave a brief explanation and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't hide it from you. The court has been extremely fierce for decades. Everyone has been fighting against each other and disregarding the interests of the country. Zhao Nanxing is the strongest person in the party struggle. I will not allow him to resume!"
Empress Dowager Zhang didn't have much experience of these, and she didn't quite understand the government. She also heard his firmness from Zhu Xu's words, and felt helpless, saying, "I don't understand these things either, but everything is the most important thing. If you can't get along with the ministers, it will not be beneficial to your national affairs..."
Zhu Xu nodded, and was scheming with Empress Dowager Zhang. Unless Empress Dowager Zhang ignored her, she would not be able to hide it at all. She could only pretend to be confused and agree randomly, hoping to get away with it.
Empress Dowager Zhang didn't take a few bites, and saw that Zhu Xu had no appetite, so she had to say, "Okay, just know what you know, I don't care about you anymore. If you want to deal with it, don't make a big mess, I'm too lazy to come over and bother you..."
Zhu Xu smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I have a clear idea in my heart, I have a clear idea..."
"I!" Empress Dowager Zhang stood up in anger.
"Yeah." Zhu Xu nodded repeatedly and stood up with him.
This time, Empress Dowager Zhang came here just to be at ease, and she had no hope of telling Zhu Xu anything. She stood up and walked outside.
Zhu Xu accompanied him outside and said a few more words in a mess. Empress Dowager Zhang ignored him, so he had to shout under the steps, "The emperor's sister-in-law has a good journey."
Empress Dowager Zhang suddenly felt a little nervous. If it were the past, she would have pinched Zhu Xu's ear and taught her a lesson. Now she can only walk back with a depressed and calm face.
Zhu Xu sent off Empress Dowager Zhang and turned around without even a sudden turn, Liu Shimin quickly jogged over and said, "Emperor, King Ping and Duke of England are asking for a meeting."
Zhu Xu rolled out a piece of fine meat from the root of his teeth, chewed it in his mouth, looked at the sky, and said, "Let them come in."
"yes."
Just as Zhu Xu was talking, outside Donghua Gate, Zhao Nanxing was wearing a python suit, holding a board, standing alone in front.
Behind him, there were two rows, a long line, with nearly a hundred people. Each of them was wearing brand new official uniforms, with a calm expression and extremely fanatical eyes, looking at the Forbidden City from afar.
Gao Panlong stood behind him, Li Qiyuan, Gu Dazhang, Wei Dazhong, Zhou Qiyuan, Li Yingsheng, Huang Zunsu, Chen Liangxun, etc., the former ministers, ministers, censors of the Censorate, ministers of various departments, etc., had never gathered so together, and was quite arrogant. They all looked at Donghua Gate and were waiting for the moment when it opened.
Zhao Nanxing held his hands behind his back, and his thin face seemed to have a knife intention. He stood there with his eyes narrowed, giving people a powerful aura of being a man who could not escape.
Gao Panlong stood behind him and said with a relaxed smile, "There is news from the palace that Empress Dowager Zhang went to Jingyang Palace early in the morning. Now, King Ping and Duke of England have also entered the palace."
Zhao Nanxing had a slightly slight head, his expression was calm, his eyes were squinting, and his light was shining.
In his opinion, this is just a small lesson. If the little emperor knew the importance of it, it would be fine. If he didn't understand it, it was an appetizer. He would let the little emperor know that the government is not about playing house, nor is he letting him do whatever he wants!
Li Qiyuan was the former Minister of Revenue. He stood behind Gao Panlong, and his expression was quite excited, saying, "Sir, there are more and more people. Do you want to walk around?"
There is no speech at this time, and you cannot give a speech in such a place. "Walking around" is considered a pre-war mobilization.
Zhao Nanxing nodded, and as soon as he turned around, he said again: "Have Ye Fuqing, Yang Dahong and others come?"
Ye Xianggao is from Fuqing, and many people, especially those in the literary world, like to call him this.
Gao Panlong looked slightly angry and said, "Not yet, I guess it was intentional."
