Zhao Xu straightened up, stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "Why are you here?"

Meiren Liu smiled sweetly, held the bowl up, and said with a rumbling look: "I heard that the official family is awake and sleeping at night. I am worried that the official family is too tired, so I made fish soup for the official family. Please try it."

Compared with Meng Meiren's "duty and respectful manners", Meiren Liu has become more close to her. She does not have too much thoughtfulness and caution in her words, and she also has the smell of acting coquettishly in her words.

Zhao Xu was just feeling hungry and took it and said, "I'll try it."

Meiren Liu was even happier. She walked around Zhao Xu, stretched out her white little hands and pressed Zhao Xu's shoulders, and said to herself: "I know that the official family likes to drink fish soup, so I specially learned it from the imperial chef. The official family should try it quickly. If it doesn't taste good, I will change it when I go back."

Zhao Xu took a sip and nodded and praised: "No, it tastes good, and this drink has aroused appetite."

Meiren Liu immediately jumped up happily, and stretched out her head and said, "Officials, I have made some food in the imperial kitchen, so I'll let them bring it here."

As he said that, he had to run out in person.

Zhao Xu smiled, hurriedly grabbed her and said, "No need to send it to Funing Palace. I will take a few sips and go back."

The rosy face flashed on Liu Meiren's face, she responded softly, and hurriedly ordered someone to inform the imperial chef.

Zhao Xu took a few sips and led Meiren Liu back to Funing Palace.

...

The next day, the tired night Liu Meiren was still sleeping soundly, while Zhao Xu and a group of guards were on the court.

It's just that it's not as intense and relatively gentle as before, so as not to wake up Meiren Liu.

A group of people performing in a fancy way, and the balls are flying around.

Half an hour later, Meiren Liu woke up and Zhao Xu had a meal with her. After she went back, Zhao Xu took a short rest in the study.

Chen Pi came in with three memorials carefully and handed them to Zhao Xu, saying, "The official family, sent it from Zhongshu."

Zhongshufang is an institution under the Political Affairs Hall. The chief official is the Zhongshushusan, who is responsible for the entry and exit of the internal and external memorials of the court.

Zhao Xu glanced at him, took it over and looked at it, his expression slightly different.

Then he opened the two stories, and the content was similar. They both impeached Empress Dowager Gao and accused her of "taking power to the country and causing trouble to the court."

Chenpi stood at the table, lowering her head. As the eunuch in the palace, he could tell who the Huangmen Order actually came from.

Zhao Xu knew that Shen Qi was nervously sending these three ways, stared at the three ways, pondered for a while, and said, "Tell me that Fan Zuyu is here to see me."

Fan Zuyu was the Minister of the Honglu Temple. These three memorials were obviously dominated by him, while the other two were followed by the sound.

"Yes." Chenpi responded calmly.

As soon as Chen Pi left, a yellow gate hurried in and said, "Report to the official family, Your Highness the Eleventh Highness is about to steal out of the palace, but he was stopped by the imperial guards."

Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows, looked at the three memoirs in front of him, nodded slightly, and said with fierce eyes: "Take him to me."

"Yes." The yellow gate responded and quickly withdrew.

Not long after, Zhao Ji was caught in with his teeth and claws.

"Let me down! Let me down!"

"And~ I'll bite you..."

Zhao Ji was held in the waist by the guards. As he said that, he really grabbed the guards' arm and opened his mouth and bit it.

The guards did not change their faces and brought Zhao Ji in and said, "The 11th Highness brings you here."

Seeing that Zhao Ji was not at all right, Zhao Xu was holding the scroll in his arms, squinted his eyes and waved his hands at the guards.

The guard put down Zhao Ji and turned around and walked back.

As soon as Zhao Ji's feet fell to the ground, he turned around and ran away.

"You try to step out of the threshold." Zhao Xu looked at him and said lightly.

Zhao Ji was imposed with a fixed body, motionless, blinked, and a moment later he suddenly smiled, turned around, strode towards Zhao Xu, and said with a naive look on his face: "Official family, today I am here to see if my painting skills have improved..."

As he said that, Zhao Ji opened the scroll seriously and wanted to take out his paintings, as if he was really here to show Zhao Xu his painting skills.

Zhao Xu stood up slowly with expressionless face.

Zhao Ji still took out the painting, but his face was still moving, but his voice became anxious and said, "Officials, you can look at my lines, use ink and brushwork, I learned from Mr. Su...ah..."

Zhao Xu grabbed the collar and blocked Zhao Ji in the corner.

Outside the door, the tangerine peel and many guards looked up at the sky, turning a deaf ear to the screams.

Get used to it!

When Fan Zuyu came to Zhao Xu's study, he saw Zhao Xu sitting at the table reviewing the memorial. Zhao Ji held the bench aside, bulging his face, and staring at him with big eyes.

Fan Zuyu came with trepidation, not daring to think too much, and saluted Zhao Xu respectfully and said loudly: "My minister Fan Zuyu, I have seen the official family."

Zhao Xu whispered, looked up and smiled and said, "I'm not giving a gift, I'm looking for Fan Qing's family to ask about the Xia envoy."

Fan Zuyu's heart was abrupt. He thought it was his letter to impeach Empress Dowager Gao. He carefully observed Zhao Xu's expression. Fan Zuyu said cautiously: "Go back to the official family and be suppressed by the Imperial City Office. Wei Ming Ashan is very honest and does not offend him anymore. He just kept shouting to meet the official family."

Zhao Xu closed the memorial in his hand, nodded, and said, "Thank you for your hard work in Fan Qing's family. If you find time and touch their bottom, I will no longer see them. Since the battle has started, there is no need to be so many false and polite. Let's wait for the battle to end."

Fan Zuyu did not dare to be careless and raised his hand and said, "I understand."

"About the merger of Honglu Temple into the Ministry of Rites,"

Zhao Xu took the teacup and said thoughtfully: "Good Master Zhang should have talked with you. The majority system is the consensus of the court. Concentrating efforts to do big things, improve efficiency, and eliminate bad habits of procrastination and bribery are inevitable. Talk to the Honglu Temple, don't have too many ideas. I am still very satisfied with the Honglu Temple's errands."

Seeing that Zhao Xu did not mention the impeachment of Empress Dowager Gao at all, Fan Zuyu became more and more nervous, his face tightened, and said, "I will receive the order."

"Well, go." Zhao Xu said before drinking tea.

When Fan Zuyu saw this, he said that for some reason, he suddenly felt chill and suddenly shrank his neck.

"I'm leaving." Fan Zuyu raised his hand carefully, his movements were very slow, and he wanted to wait for Zhao Xu's reprimand.

But he stepped back to the door, looked up quietly, and saw that the official family had no intention of speaking, so he had already picked up another memorial at hand to review it.

Zhao Ji, who was next to the official family, was grinning at him with crooked eyes.

Fan Zuyu was worried, stood at the door and bowed respectfully, and hurriedly left Funing Hall.

When Zhao Ji saw Fan Zuyu leaving like this, he seemed a little bored. He rolled his big eyes and looked at Zhao Xu's study boredly.

Zhao Xu saw it all but was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he continued to review the memorial.

Fan Zuyu left Funing Hall, and did not go to the green tiled house again, and left the palace directly.

As soon as he left Xuande Gate, a young minister of the Honglu Temple who was waiting quickly came forward and said, "Official Lang, what are you going to tell the official family? What do you say to Mr. Zhang?"

Fan Zuyu waved his hand with a calm face, and strode towards the direction of Honglu Temple.

Shaoqing looked stern, no longer asked, and followed Fan Zuyu immediately.

It was not until he left the palace territory that Fan Zuyu looked solemn and said, "The official family impeached the Empress Dowager in a few words and said casually that the Xia people and the Honglu Temple were merged into the Ministry of Rites."

Shaoqing looked puzzled and said, "Why should I call the Lang Guan to the palace for such a small matter?"

Fan Zuyu looked cold and said, "The official family is clicking me."

It is a taboo for a minister to impeach the imperial court, not to mention that the Empress Dowager who once ruled behind the scenes, the current official family, Zhao Xu's grandmother!

If one is not good, if you really get killed by another stick, there is no place to make any decision!

Shaoqing looked at Fan Zuyu's side face and whispered: "Official Lang, what should I do now?"

The Minister of the Honglu Temple openly impeached the Empress Dowager. Whether it is the "new party" or the "old party", it will definitely cause a big stir.

Fan Zuyu also wanted to ask, but who can he ask?

He didn't even go to the green tiled house, just deliberately avoiding Zhang Dun!

"Let's go back first." Fan Zuyu said.

Shaoqing followed Fan Zuyu, and the two hurriedly returned to Honglu Temple.

Weiming Ashan in Honglu Temple was locked in a side courtyard. A group of Xia people were indignant and knocked down all the food arranged by Honglu Temple to the ground.

A tall Xia man glared at the yamen runner who was delivering food and said, "This is the meal that you Song people treat us? No dogs eat it! We are envoys of Daxia, let your emperor come to see us!"

The yamen runner opposite him was very confident. He glanced at the walls around him. There were the Imperial City Guards behind him, and said lukewarmly: "That's all you want to eat, but if you knock it over, you will be gone today. As for the official family, are you the ones you want to see? Wait!"

After the yamen runner finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

A group of Xia people were furious and rolled up their sleeves to siege the yamen runners.

The yamen runner's face suddenly turned cold, he immediately pulled out his sword from his waist and said coldly: "Do you dare to do something randomly, and you won't be killed!"

Wei Ming Ashan had a gloomy face, held one of them, and said with a cold face, "Tell you the emperor that it will cost you to neglect my envoy of Daxia!"

The yamen runner stared at Wei Ming Ashan and said, "Don't do this! Stay honestly, if you do something randomly, don't think about going back alive!"

The Xia people were furious and screamed, but they were all suppressed by Weiming Ashan.

Wei Ming Ashan took a deep breath and said, "I won't make things difficult for you, just go and pass the message."

The yamen runner snorted coldly, inserted his knife back, and left with great strides.

After the yamen runners left, one of the strong men of the Xia people stared at Weiming Ashan in anger.

Wei Ming Ashan suppressed the anger that was churning in his chest and said with a gloomy face: "We can't come here for a while. After the Empress Dowager defeated the Song people, let's see how arrogant they are!"
