The Song Dynasty was sharpening its swords and preparing for war had already been on the surface.

In Kaifeng City, the debate about this battle gradually increased, full of worries.

With the passing of Empress Dowager Gao, the people who used to hold Empress Dowager Gao's thighs became low-key.

The Wei Palace is already low-key, but now it is even more silent.

But on this day, many people still came.

They are all close relatives and distant relatives and in-laws of the Zhao family in the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Xu's great-grandfather, Emperor Renzong, had nothing to do, and several sons of his grandfather, Emperor Yingzong, had passed away. By Zhao Xu's generation, the royal family's close relatives and uncles had actually disappeared.

In addition, Zhao Xu's little mother, Concubine Zhu, was born into a civilian family, and her father passed away early, so the relatives of the outside world were equal to nothing.

Therefore, there are almost no one who can directly find Zhao Xu's door.

Therefore, we can only seek other solutions.

Princess Wei did not want to see anyone or get involved in the complicated court situation, but she dared not refute her some face.

The King of Wei was the same as the King of Yan. He once coveted Zhao Xu's throne and did a lot of things. As soon as Empress Dowager Gao died, the Wei Mansion was in danger and was less transparent in the royal family. The court had to cut his salary. The Princess of Wei felt that life was getting harder.

In the side.

A group of young and old sat and spoke worriedly.

"Princess, the treasury is empty, and the court wants to borrow money to pay the salary. This is a big battle again..."

"No, those reformists have nothing to do all day long, and the Empress Dowager has just removed the curtain for a long time. The world is in chaos, hey..."

"The official family was young and was deceived by Zhang Dun and others. Now they still have to be in charge of the army. If this is a huge upside down..."

"Empress, it's not that I'm saying something discouraging. If the official family has a few shortcomings, what will I do if I, Dasong..."

When we got here, the voices of the group suddenly became much smaller.

Zhao Xu has no offspring yet, and Empress Meng's child is not born. In terms of seniority? If Zhao Xu suddenly dies? The first person to succeed the throne should be the ninth son Zhao Qi, but he is a blind man? Impossible? The second is Zhao Si, because Zhao Ji was deposed by Zhao Xu.

Isn’t the Princess Wei a fool? I can’t tell you wherever you can’t tell, and said lightly: “Everyone? I’m just a woman? I don’t understand these things, so you’d better go find someone else.”

Someone immediately refuted and said, "The Empress is such a bad word. In terms of seniority? Are you an uncle from the official family? The Princess of Wei, even the Empress is respected by the Empress. It is related to the safety of the country and society. How can the Empress refuse?"

"Yes, the official family has just taken charge of the government? I still don't understand anything. I was deceived by the reformers to go to the imperial guards in person? Those people are harboring evil intentions, so they must be careful..."

"Empress? The crown prince is the top priority of the country. You must take it to your heart..."

Big hats were smashed down? Princess Wei was not easy to shirk? But she already understood the intentions of these people? She couldn't help but look slightly dark and said, "Elders, such a big thing is not something I can do, just a woman, so stop here. You go out and I will never recognize it no matter what you say."

After Princess Wei finished speaking, she did not give those people a chance and walked straight into the inner courtyard.

The crowd was reluctant to give up, but they couldn't chase him to the inner courtyard. They shouted for a while, but when they saw that Princess Wei couldn't come out, they could only sigh and leave.

But the matter was so magical. The edict of Zhao Xu's personal expedition had not been issued yet. However, the word "Capital Crown" suddenly broke out. Not only Zhao Xu's younger brothers, but even the King of Yan and King Wei's sons were included. The government and the people were still talking about "mastery or not".

Soon, this incident caused quite a stir in the court.

It was not until Concubine Zhu could no longer bear to close the palace gate that Zhao Xu did not take any action.

Inside the arched hall.

Zhao Xu looked at Zhang Dun and said lightly: "Grandpa Zhang, I have not left the palace yet, why do you feel that I have already died in my country? Your Political Affairs Hall is so anxious to support the new king. Is that good at following the dragon?"

In the hall, in addition to Zhang Dun, there were six ministers in the capital, and more than twenty people were watching Zhang Dun. At this moment, they were all looking at Zhang Dun.

The official family's words were too heavy and most people could not afford it. And this was the first time they saw the official family embarrassing Zhang Dun in public.

‘It seems that their relationship is not as good as the legendary one?’

This idea suddenly popped up in many people's minds.

Zhang Dun was very calm and said, "Your Majesty, I have noticed this matter long ago. According to my verification, it was all done by the spies of Xia and Liao."

Zhao Xu looked at him with a expressionless face.

Chen Pi snorted and said, "Since you know, why didn't you deal with it earlier? Now people outside the palace are in panic and there is no peace in the palace. Is that how you are your husband?"

Everyone looked at Chenpi and looked at Zhao Xu quietly. Anyone knew that Chenpi's words were Zhao Xu's meaning!

Many people quietly looked at Zhang Dun's back, and they vaguely noticed the "sword and sword shadow" at the highest level of the Song Dynasty.

The power structure of the Song Dynasty became clearer and clearer. The emperor—the ministers of the Zhengshi Hall—the ministers of the Six Ministry—the ministers of the Six Ministry. In theory, the ministers of the Six Ministry have already said that the officials of the court were the officials. In this case, few of them dared to smooth things out.

Zhang Dun still had a serious expression and raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, just doing something in detail, I think someone in our dynasty has colluded with it and found some evidence."

Zhao Xu's eyes kept paying attention to court officials other than Zhang Dun. Seeing their faces changing, he thought to himself: It turns out that they are all smart people.

Zhao Xu continued slowly and said, "What are you waiting for?"

Zhang Dun raised his hand, held a memorial and said, "Because there are many people who are not in the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate, and even the Imperial City, please give the official a clarification."

Zhao Xu glanced at it and said, "The other families of you will first pass on the transmission."

There were indeed no stupid people present, so I couldn't see through any clues. But no one exposed them, passed them one by one, and saw many familiar and unfamiliar names.

Some people see not only the royal family members who have been rushing up and down recently, but also many nobles, old parties, and even merchants!

’Sure enough…’ Someone whispered in his heart.

They all saw that before the imperial commander personally, Zhang Dun wanted to use this opportunity to erase threats and hidden dangers.

It is obvious that the government has known it for a long time.

'I'm afraid it's the idea of ​​the government?' Some people who know more talked to themselves secretly.

The memorial was about to come, and Zhao Xu turned his eyes casually on Zhao Xu's desk, and said without raising his head: "What are you going to do with it?"

Zhang Dun's tone became a bit stern and said: "The official has not yet commanded the army to personally exile. Spreading such vicious rumors, not only will it be indifferent to the emperor, but it will also shake the emperor's heart and endanger the border. It will be unforgivable. I requested to kill the bandit leader and exiled to Zhanzhou."

Zhanzhou, Hainan, later generations, was the farthest place to be exiled in the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Xu's expression remained unchanged and said, "What do you think?"

How dare everyone speak? It is obviously the established plan of the emperor and the prime minister. Who dares to interrupt?

Zhao Xu's eyes searched and slowly fell on Wu Juhou, the Minister of Revenue.

Wu Juhou's fat face moved twice, and went up to buzz, saying, "I asked the officials to report to the officials, some of them may have been bewitched or had no intention of being wronged. I ask the officials to be kind and give up their graces and give up their slightest deeds."

Everyone shook their heads secretly, disagreed with Wu Juhou's words.

But what caught them off guard was that Zhao Xu then said: "What Wu Qing family said is. Zhang, consider it carefully and do not implicate it. The court should be kind and kind."

Everyone was relieved, and then they wanted to refute Deng Zhangdun and insisted on dealing with it severely.
