When Zhao Xu was having a headache when his younger brothers were still young, people were still in panic in Kaifeng City.

Wei Prince's Mansion.

King Zhao Bo of Wei passed away in the third year of Yuanyou, but as the son of Empress Dowager Gao and the brother of Emperor Shenzong, the honor of the Prince of Wei's mansion did not decrease, but instead increased.

The Princess of Wei was just over thirty years old, and the eldest son died prematurely, and his eldest son was only ten years old.

However, as the court pursued the recent major cases, the Wei Palace was also in a panic and could not be peaceful.

The Wei Mansion was brightly lit, and the Princess Wei was sitting in the living room with a few children in her arms, staring outside.

From time to time, servants ran in from outside, reported a few words and ran out.

The chief of the Prince of Wei was a seventy-year-old man with white hair. He sat down at the bottom and saw that the sky was dark. He sighed relaxed and said, "Princess, it seems that we are too worried. The things outside may have nothing to do with our Prince of Wei and will not involve us."

The Princess Wei kept frowning and said worriedly: "Mr. Chen, next door, also thought so during the day, and was still arrested. It was rumored outside that Mr. Zhang wanted to take revenge. At the beginning... King Wei... did not say this, it was better to be careful."

The old emperor knew what the Princess Wei had not said. Before the official ascended the throne, the King of Wei was involved in the storm of fighting for the throne. Moreover, the exile of the "New Party" was a contribution, which was also part of the source of honor for the Prince of Wei's Mansion.

Not long after, another servant came in and said, "Princess, the people from the Imperial City Department have been withdrawn, but the inspection department of Kaifeng Prefecture is still surrounding the Duke of Chen County."

The princess quickly stretched out her head and said, "Hurry up, get some money and go inquire about the news."

The servant responded and walked out quickly.

The old elder stood up slowly and said, "Princess, I'll go find someone and ask for information."

I have been asking for it a long time ago, but now I am just impatient and helpless, trying my luck.

However, the princess nodded repeatedly, hugged the child, and watched the old elder leave.

Soon, another servant came to report, his face full of anxiety and anxiety, and said, "Princess, no, Secretary Qi was taken away by the people of the Imperial City Department."

The princess's expression changed rapidly and said, "Has the house been searched?"

The servant was stunned and hurriedly said, "I don't know yet, so I only took the Secretary of Qi away."

"Then you won't stare!" the princess said anxiously.

"Yes!" The servant quickly turned around and ran out quickly.

At this time, an old lady in her fifties walked out surrounded by maids. Her face was gentle, but her eyes were dissatisfied, and she said, "What a big deal, is it necessary to be so panicked?"

The princess looked at the old lady, walked over, and helped her and said, "Mother, why did you come out?"

The old lady looked outside and said, "How can I sleep like this? You were originally relaxing, but this is great. Just look at you with great worries. Can the old lady still sleep?"

The princess pursed her lips and said, "It's because her daughter is not good, it's causing her mother to worry."

The old lady looked at her, patted her hands, and said, "Don't worry so much. It's been four or five years since the King of Wei passed away, and the King of Wei's Mansion is not involved in the government affairs. Even if my husband has resentment, he will not be able to vent his orphans and widows. Besides, isn't there any empress dowager or the official family?"

The princess suddenly became anxious and said, "I heard that the Empress Dowager has been under house arrest by the government. Has the government always acquiesced to Mr. Zhang to arrest people?"

The old lady laughed and said, "Okay, don't worry so much. Tomorrow, I will accompany you into the palace to meet Concubine Zhu and bring all the children of King Wei."

The princess was upset and whispered: "Mother, is there any way?"

The old lady looked outside with a calm expression and said, "I had also carried the official family back then. At that time, Concubine Zhu had a bad life in the palace and it was very difficult. I sent a lot of things in, and Concubine Zhu also returned some of them. This time, we are going to visit relatives."

The princess understood and said in a low voice: "Can the concubine... be able to suppress Mr. Zhang? I heard that Mr. Zhang has a hot temper and dares to kill people in the street."

The old lady glanced at her and said, "You, that is, the King of Wei... Forget it, let me tell you the truth. Concubine Zhu doesn't need to suppress the husband. As long as Concubine Zhu talks to the official family, your Prince of Wei's Mansion will be fine."

Although the Princess of Wei is the closest princess in the current royal family, the Prince of Wei passed away early, and the Prince of Wei has since been far away from the court and has really not known much about the palace.

In the past, the Empress Dowager ruled from behind the curtain, even if Concubine Zhu was Zhao Xu's biological mother, no one looked at her twice, and she was simply transparent.

Princess Wei didn't understand, but trusted her mother very much. She didn't say anything more and felt a little relieved after hearing this.

Even the Wei Palace was so frightened and unable to sleep, you can imagine seeing it in other places.

At this time, the Imperial City Department, the Censorate, the Ministry of Justice and others were interrogating overnight. The signs of killing the company were getting heavier and heavier, and the number of people arrested was also expanding rapidly.

Prime Minister Su Song's mansion.

There was a light in Su Song's study. He was writing a memorial, but he had already written four or five times. He still frowned, held a pen and stared at the blank memorial in front of him.

"Master, it's late." At this time, a woman in her fifties walked in and looked at him and said.

Su Song shook his head and said, "Zhang Dun, this tiger, has begun to eat people. The only one who can tie him is the official family, and he must be stopped. This memorial... must be written well."

For someone like Su Song who has been in the officialdom for nearly fifty years, it is not too easy to write a memorial, but now it is impossible to write.

Madam Su looked at it and walked over, saying in confusion: "Since the official family can manage it, what else do you care about? Didn't you mean that you retired and returned to your hometown in the next year?"

Su Song looked at the blank memorial, sighed, put down his pen, and said, "If I could just leave, I would have left long ago. I am worried now that if this continues, the government will not be able to control him sooner or later."

Zhang Dun is not only the de facto prime minister now, but most of the people in the court are "New Party", and almost all of them are recruited by Zhang Dun back to the capital.

If a new law is launched next year, then the use of the "New Party". Eighty or ninety-ninety percent of the government and the opposition are "New Party". Only Zhang Dun's leader is in the capital and outside the capital. With such a powerful force, who can stop it?

Mrs. Su didn't know much about this, so she said, "Okay, you can't continue writing anymore. Let's talk about it tomorrow. I can't say it. That's the husband who has to embarrass you."

Su Song thought about it and could only sigh and get up.

The next morning.

In the Funing Hall, Zhao Xu's usual Cuju, this time, the number of people has expanded a lot. Zhao Ji, Zhao Sizai, Zhao You'e followed him and at the invitation of Zhao Xu, he squeezed for a few times, and also tightened his legs and went on stage.

The little guys played very lively, and in the end, Zhao Xu and the Imperial Guard became guests.

Zhao Xu mainly exercises. In winter, the hot and cold changes, Zhao Xu quickly held down a few of them and pulled them to the point of eating.

Zhao Ji complained dissatisfiedly, saying, "I just played, official, I've eaten it, I'll go and play for a while..."

Zhao Xu reached out and grabbed Zhao Ji who was about to turn his head to run. Zhao Si grabbed him, looked at Zhao You'e who was about to move, and snorted, saying, "Be honest with me. If you are sick, my mother will not spare me."

The three little guys were helpless. Even after eating, they still accompanied Zhao Xu to eat a little again.

Zhao Xu looked at the three little guys looking weak, and was still thinking about the Dali Temple Minister.

Zhao Ji definitely can't go. This little bastard has gone, and I don't know what trouble will happen in the future. Zhao Si is even worse. Zhao Xu has a direction for training him and is not in Dali Temple.

At this moment, a palace maid from the Qinghou Hall came over and said softly: "Official family, guests are coming to the Qinghou Hall. I'm sorry, you and your highness come over."

Zhao Xu was stunned and looked at the tangerine peel outside the door.

Chen Pi hurried in and was about to open her mouth, but Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "I guess I can't refuse what I can see if I can let my mother see you. Let's go and see you."

The three little guys still wanted to Cuju, but after hearing this, they could only follow Zhao Xu to the birthday palace.
