In fact, even if Concubine Zhu didn't say it, Zhao Xu was always thinking about how to appease Empress Meng.

After all, the Queen of the Song Dynasty, who has the eldest son and has an extraordinary status, should also have a reasonable explanation.

As next year approaches, everything in the court and the country will be complicated, disturbing and clamoring.

Everyone, everyone, have something to pay attention to.

Queen Meng seemed to be focused on taking care of Brother Quan, ignored the outside world, and never mentioned the "general amnesty".

But she is a human being, so how could she be really calm and has no fluctuations to the outside world?

Inside Renming Hall.

Empress Meng is embroidering this pair of small thanks, looking at her appearance, she looks like a girl.

The female official next to him saw it and smiled and said, "Empress, Brother Quan grows very fast. You haven't embroidered it yet, so I'm afraid Brother Quan can't wear it anymore."

Empress Meng smiled and said, "I specially embroidered it a little bigger. I see Brother Quan learns language and probably will learn to speak soon."

The female official smiled more and said, "Empress, Brother Quan has only been a few months, and he has to wait a little longer. You are too anxious."

This sentence seemed to hit Queen Meng. The needle in her hand paused, and then she smiled quietly: "I heard that Mu Gu fell in love with the girl from the Zhang family?"

The female official smiled a little stiff, and then said softly: "Yes. I secretly checked it. I am the granddaughter of Zhang Xianggong of the Privy Council. I am outstanding in appearance and gentle in character. I am also a talented woman in Beijing. She is very popular among the female family members of the officials. It is said that there are many people who propose marriage."

Empress Meng actually already knew it, and slowly embroidered it, saying, "What does that girl mean?"

The female official glanced outside and said, "It is said that she has angered the eldest lady of the East Mansion in recent days and has been confined."

Zhang Dun and Zhang Ju live together, divided into East and West Courtyards. Zhang Dun’s Mansion is in the east and is called East Courtyards.

Queen Meng couldn't help but frown, and the needle and thread in her hand became slower and slower.

Her identity was extremely embarrassing in the palace, in the government, and in the entire Song Dynasty, because she was the queen of the central palace. Meng Tang was also not much better. He was the eldest son and grandson of the Meng family. He had to bear all the glory and sins of the Meng family.

If it weren't for Zhao Xu's protection, the fate of their siblings would have been very miserable.

Now, Meng Tang fell in love with the girl from the Zhang family.

Queen Meng has a headache and is hard to think about.

Although Zhang Dun had a tacit understanding with her, this tacit understanding cannot withstand any wind and rain. Zhang Dun is the leader of the "New Party". In the "destroyed queen" storm promoted by the "New Party", this person is the biggest behind the scenes!

Without his tacit approval, Li Qingchen and others would not dare to do anything randomly. Even Li Qingchen might have been instructed by him!

Meng Tang just likes the girl from the Zhang family!

The girl was confined to the ground, which fully demonstrated Zhang Feng's attitude.

If the Meng family meets the Zhang family, it will not only be a love between men and women, but will also have a great impact in the government and the country!

Especially, what do the official family thinks that the younger brother of the Empress of the Central Palace gets married to the Prime Minister’s family?

The more Queen Meng thought about it, the more headache she felt, and the needle and thread in her hand stopped completely.

She didn't want to see that unpredictable situation happening. Similarly, her younger brother Meng Tang had already had an extremely difficult life, and she didn't want him to end a tragic end with his sweetheart.

The female official quietly stared at Empress Meng's side face. Seeing her worries change, she bent down and whispered: "Empress, the matter about the 'amnesty' has spread throughout the harem, and those people are a little uneasy. There are rumors in the palace that the Ninth Highness, the Thirteenth Highness and others will leave the palace next year, and Brother Quan will be sent away."

Queen Meng's face suddenly changed and suddenly became gloomy. She shouted: "Rareless! Brother Quan can also be discussed casually, and grab all the gossiping people for me, and prepare the life stick!"

The female official was startled and hurried to the front, bit her lip, and said, "Empress, the palace is not calm now, and the outside is very nervous. You should be careful."

Empress Meng is already sensitive, and any troubles in her may be the handle of the attack of the outer court.

Empress Meng sat upright, her face was covered in blue, and she snorted coldly: "I can move me. If you dare to move Brother Quan, I will let them know that I, the queen, were not controlled by them at will, go!"

The female official dared not say anything again, so she should go and make arrangements quickly.

After all, Empress Meng was the Empress of the Central Palace. Under Zhao Xu's intention to delegate power, half of the Escorts and Provincial Escorts were under the control of Empress Meng.

At the order of Queen Meng, the female official took the people and arrested people everywhere.

The first stop was Liu Meiren's yard.

"Empress, save the villain, Empress, save the villain..."

A yellow door who was caught shouted in panic.

Liu Mei's popular face was twisted and she shouted to the female official: "What are you doing? This is the person in our yard, and you dare to arrest him, who will give you the courage!"

The female official was not afraid and sneered: "Empress? You are worthy of being called Empress? Meiren Liu, I think you don't understand the rules too much, so please explain to the Empress."

Meiren Liu is not qualified to be called the Empress.

Although Meiren Liu was angry, her heart was poured on cold water. The female official's attitude was not as respectful as she was a few days ago. She was prepared!

Meiren Liu is the most favored in the harem. Almost everyone thinks that if Empress Meng is deposed, she will be the natural queen.

Meiren Liu gritted her teeth, snorted coldly, and said, "I'll go find the official family now."

The female official didn't stop her and took the man away.

He went to the yard of the other two beauties and took away three more people, plus four of the eunuchs, a total of eight people, were escorted and knelt in front of Renming Hall.

The eight people were trembling, and they didn't dare to speak. Behind them, there were two yellow doors each holding big sticks.

This is a punishment!

Empress Meng was full of coldness and said directly: "I dare to spread rumors in the palace to alienate the affection of the Tian family. Who can give you the courage to confess now, I will spare you all the time!"

Empress Meng's words were full of murderous intent, and the eight kneeling people looked around, who dared to speak!

Seeing this, the female official said directly: "Boll, beat until they say it!"

Eight people were pressed to the ground on the spot, and the yellow gate waved his stick and beat him hard!

"ah……"

Eight people screamed one after another, but no one "confessed".

Empress Meng sat on the chair and looked at her coldly.

The female official stood beside her, staring at the eight people with an angry face, but she was extremely worried and glanced at Queen Meng from time to time.

Zhao Xu had just returned from Qingshou Hall and had not sat down in Chuigong Hall before news of the harem came.

Chenpi was in his ear and whispered the whole story.

There is nothing in the harem that can be hidden from tangerine peel.

Zhao Xu held the teacup and looked outside quietly.

He was not concerned about Empress Meng's actions, but was considering the "general amnesty" about the Meng family, Gao family, and the royal family, Zhao Hao and others.

These three are almost bound together. If one is forgiven, all of them must be forgiven.

Zhao Xu had love, hate, and hatred in his heart, but as an official in the Song Dynasty, he could not be influenced by love, hate, and hatred, and needed to consider all aspects.

Pardoning them is certainly conducive to the implementation of the "New Deal" and pushing up his position of "benevolence". Similarly, pardoning them will also encourage some people, and the pros and cons are still difficult to say.

"I'm afraid my grandfather and others won't agree, right?"

Zhao Xu talked to himself.

Zhang Dun and others hated the "old party" and pardoned the Gao family. The Meng family gave up and continued to pursue the "old party". Both the "new party" of public and private will definitely not agree.

As soon as Zhao Xu finished speaking, a crying sound came to mind outside.

"Report to the official family, Meiren Liu is asking for a visit." A small yellow gate appeared quickly outside the door.

Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows, stood up and said, "I understand."

Meiren Liu cried so hard that she lost her vigor. She rushed into Zhao Xu's arms and said miserably: "The official family, the queen asked someone to take the yellow gate in the courtyard of my concubines, and she also wanted to question me."

Zhao Xu smiled and patted her on the back, saying, "It's okay..."

Before Zhao Xu finished speaking, Chen Pi walked over and stood behind Zhao Xu, saying in a loud voice: "The official family, those yellow gates and palace maids, were killed by sticks."

Meiren Liu suddenly hugged Zhao Xu even more and cried louder.

"Official family, save me..."

Zhao Xu gently patted Liu Meiren and comforted her, "It's okay, I'll ask later, the saint is not unreasonable."

Meiren Liu hugged Zhao Xu tightly and cried heartbrokenly: "The official family has been killed by a stick..."

Zhao Xu patted her back and slowly sootheed her, and was also a little surprised. Empress Meng, who had always been cautious and cautious, suddenly killed eight people.

Although it is because these people spread rumors about "Brother Quan", are they still reacting to some recent events in the government and the opposition?

While comforting Meiren Liu, Zhao Xu thought about Empress Meng's actions.

While Zhao Xu was pacifying Meiren Liu, the news that Empress Meng killed eight palace servants was also spread to the Qingtiaofang.

The green tiled house and the Chuigong Hall seem to be next door, less than a few steps away.

After hearing this, Zhang Dun and Cai Bian didn't say anything. They were rarely leaning against the chair and silently.

What does it mean that Empress Meng, who has always been quiet, suddenly took action at this time?

Pei Yin stood at the tables of the two, bent over, without saying a word.

Empress Meng is the thorn in the throat of the "New Party". When she mentioned her, she could almost hurt everyone.
