Zhao Xu picked up the teacup and looked at Su Song and said with a smile: "I heard that Su Xianggong is sick, so I came to visit him."

Su Song looked at Zhao Xu, unable to guess his thoughts, paused and said, "I am stupid, please let the official make a clear statement."

When Zhao Xu saw this, he thought that this husband was a little discouraged.

I have to cheer him up.

Zhao Xu took a sip of tea and said, "Su Xianggong is the pillar of the country. The imperial court cannot be without Su Xianggong. I will invite Su Xianggong back."

Su Song frowned, and then he was a little confused.

The situation in the North Korea is very chaotic now, and the two parties are already in a stalemate, and there is a melee, and someone needs to stabilize the situation.

The "old party" has no leader. If he goes back, he can win people's hearts and control the court that is constantly chaotic and is about to lose control.

Su Song was silent for a while and said, "It is not impossible for me to be old and weak. Please understand it."

In his opinion, Zhao Xu had other options, such as Fan Chunren and Fan Bailu.

Zhao Xu looked firm and said, "You must be Su Xianggong."

Su Song was not sure about Zhao Xu's true thoughts and said, "Gong-gong Zhang has taken over the court. When I returned, I was just a redundant person. Please be kind to the official family and return to my hometown to support me."

Zhao Xu didn't bother him about this and said with a smile: "What do you think about the court?"

Su Song had already made up his mind to leave, pondered for a while, feeling that he should say something, and showed caution, and said, "I do have some ideas to talk to the official, I don't know if the official can listen."

Zhao Xu smiled slightly and said, "Please tell me, Mr. Su."

Seeing Zhao Xu calm and comfortable, Su Song hesitated for a moment and said, "The case of Lu Dafang in the official family has affected more than 200 people inside and outside the capital. It is not advisable to continue to expand it, otherwise people in the world will be panic and disloyal, and things that may happen unpredictable."

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "I have already handed over to Mr. Zhang, and the execution company shall not be expanded. The case will be closed as soon as possible."

Su Song was a little surprised. The officials should not punish the company now. Do they try their best to eradicate the "old party" and replace the "new party"?

Su Song hesitated even more, and said silently for a while: "As for Xining's law, I believe it is not appropriate to resume the entire process, at least not this year."

Although Su Song belongs to the "old party", he does not agree with the complete abolition of the new law or the complete resumption of the new law.

"Okay, I agree. I will not launch the Xining method again this year." Zhao Xu said extremely decisively.

Su Song was even more unable to guess Zhao Xu's thoughts, and thought quietly, looking directly at Zhao Xu's eyes, his tone became a little heavier, and said, "Foreign affairs, no internal court."

‘Foreign affairs do not involve the internal court’.

Zhao Xu thought about this sentence for a while before he realized it.

Meiren Meng looked calm and sat upright, but Yu Guang looked at Zhao Xu with a solemn look.

The "inner court" in Su Song's words does not refer to Zhao Xu, but is actually Empress Dowager Gao.

Su Song’s meaning is very simple. Lu Dafang’s case cannot involve Empress Dowager Gao. Even if Zhao Xu has resentment towards Empress Dowager Gao, he cannot be rude to Empress Dowager Gao.

Historical books will definitely not let go of Sun's actions against Zu, and will have a huge impact on the etiquette and laws of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Xu took Su Song and Meng Meiren's expression in his eyes, smiled and said, "Mr. Su, you guys, why can I reach this day?"

Su Song frowned. He was worried that Zhao Xu would not listen to the advice. He was very clear about how Zhao Xu forced Empress Dowager Gao to withdraw the curtain and took power. The whole process was very clear. In his opinion, Zhao Xu took the opportunity too well. He dared to take action every time, quickly, accurately and ruthlessly! If someone else had to be patient, he would have been waiting.

Meiren Meng pursed her lips slightly, without saying anything.

Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, Zhao Xu said, "First, it is naturally based on my identity. Without a serious mistake, whether it is my grandmother or you husbands, they will not join forces to depose me. You abide by the ancestral law, you cannot do such a behavior."

Su Song listened silently, it was indeed the case. He could be sure that he would not do this, nor would he support, or even object. Erfan would not, Lu Dafang, Empress Dowager Gao, and even would not, they were examples of "adhering to the ancestral law" and could not slap in the face on their own.

Su Song looked up at Zhao Xu, and there were one or two.

Zhao Xu took a sip of tea and said, "The second is that my grandmother is not Empress Lu, Wu Zhao."

Empress Lü was Liu Bang's wife. After Liu Bang died, she was in power for a long time. Her behavior was very ruthless, especially the famous "Man and Pig" incident.

Wu Zetian became even more cruel. For the sake of power, he was not even ruthless in his own sons and grandsons. He abolished three emperor sons, grandsons, son-in-laws, etc., and died one after another.

Empress Dowager Gao did not have these ruthless hearts. She was in power and relied more on the foreign court, or "sharing the world with the scholars and officials." Of course, the current atmosphere of the Song Dynasty was completely different from that of the early Tang Dynasty, and Empress Dowager Gao could not be Empress Lü or Wu Zetian.

Su Song immediately woke up and finally understood why this young official dared to act like this, and nodded as if he had some insight.

Zhao Xu picked up the tea cup and drank tea again, but thought to himself: If it fails, I will bow my head and admit my mistake and pretend to be a grandson for a year and a half. Anyway, I am a grandson.

Empress Dowager Gao passed away next year in history.

How could Su Song think of it?

Meiren Meng was still nervous and sat still, Yu Guang looked at Zhao Xu quietly.

The official hasn’t said yet whether he will settle the accounts after the autumn and take revenge on the Empress Dowager!

Su Song thought for a moment, then reacted, paused, and said, "Although the Empress Dowager is harsh, she also has the kindness of her grandparents and grandchildren."

Zhao Xu understood that Su Song was further persuasion.

In fact, Empress Dowager Gao’s attitude towards Zhao Xu is contradictory. She has both for power, restriction, control, and prevented Zhao Xu from taking power, and also has serious teachings. She hopes that Zhao Xu will become a wise ruler in the future.

There is a struggle for power and a love for grandmother.

From the bottom of my heart, Zhao Xu did not resent the conflict between Empress Dowager Gao and grandchildren was nothing more than a battle for supreme power. From the beginning to the present, neither side had the idea of ​​forcing each other to death.

Especially as a winner.

As the winner, Zhao Xu smiled indifferently and said to Su Song: "As long as my grandmother is at ease to live up to her old age, I am not cold-blooded and ruthless."

Su Song glanced at Meiren Meng and suddenly understood in his heart.

Lu Dafang can only be regarded as the middle layer, with Empress Dowager Gao above and officials below. The official family must not only appease the super, but also keep the Empress Dowager Gao above quiet.

Meiren Meng pursed her lips and leaned forward slightly. She also understood the intention of Zhao Xu bringing her.

After saying this, Zhao Xu looked at Su Song and smiled and said, "Grandpa Su, what are the doubts?"

Su Song hesitated for a moment and couldn't say it for a moment.

He never thought that Zhao Xu would come to keep him, but he did want to leave. There was no place for him to stand in the court.

Lu Dafang's death prompted him to want to protect himself even more.

Seeing that Su Song seemed to have decided to leave, Zhao Xu said directly: "Chen Pi, announce the edict."

Chenpi had already been ready, so she immediately walked aside, took the imperial edict from the yellow gate, and looked at Su Song solemnly.

Seeing this, Su Song turned to Zhao Xu again, silently sighed in his heart, but still stood up, stood up solemnly, and saluted: "My minister Su Song received the order."

Chen Pi looked at him, spread out the imperial edict, and said, "I have received the order of the Lord... The world is complicated and all things are disturbed. I rely on the support of my husband. I am the emperor's heart and the subordinates. I am busy and unwilling to slack off. I am deeply grateful. I am specially promoted to the left Guanglu Dafu, the guardian of the Shangshu and the right servant of the Central Secretariat. I am also appointed as the envoy of the Central Taiyi Palace, the Duke of Donghai County, and the fief of 300 households..."

Su Song listened, his face was very complicated.

One is that these additional titles are real, even surpassing Lu Dafang. Second, this reward is to keep him. Third, once he accepts the additional titles, he will inevitably become a storm in the government and the opposition, and the "new party" and the "old party" will attack each other.

In this case, can he still have a good ending?

Chen Pi looked at him lightly and said, "Grandpa Su, please accept the order."

Su Song raised his hand, Yu Guang looked at Zhao Xu who was smiling calmly, and said, "I will thank you for your kindness."

In this case, he had no choice.

When Zhao Xu saw this, he immediately stood up and said, "Don't worry, at most, two years. Two years later, if Mr. Su wants to return home, I will send you there in person."

‘I’m afraid I won’t live for two years…’

Su Song smiled bitterly in his heart and said, "Thank you for the official family."

Zhao Xu ignored his words and said, "The tea in Su Xianggong's mansion is not very good. After returning to the palace, I picked some good ones and sent it to Su Xianggong."

Tangerine responded calmly and said, "Yes."

What else can Su Song say, and then thank you.

Zhao Xu opened the folding fan in his hand with a snap, feeling relieved, and said with a smile: "Mr. Su has a good rest, and I will go back to the Political Affairs Hall tomorrow. I won't disturb you to rest."

Su Song's old face moved, and he wanted to speak but stopped. Finally, he raised his hand and said, "I respectfully send you to Your Majesty."

Zhao Xu did not go through the back door this time and went out directly through the front door.

Kaifeng City is now full of troubles. I don’t know how many people stare at Su Song. Seeing Zhao Xu and a large group of people coming out, many people were stunned. After all, there were not many people who had seen Zhao Xu, but they could see that so many people came out of the prime minister’s yard and reported quietly everywhere.

Zhao Xu seemed to have not realized it, and walked on the road with Meiren Meng swaying and said, "I will take you to Fanlou later. The wine and food there are different from those in the palace. They taste very good. Let's take you to eat."

Seeing that Zhao Xu was very excited, Meng Meiren smiled and said, "Thank you for yourselves."

In her heart, she was worried about how she tactfully and clearly conveyed Zhao Xu's words to Empress Dowager Gao after returning to the palace.

Not long after I left, two people suddenly emerged from the alley ahead, as if they were still fighting.

Hu Zhongwei's expression tightened, and the surrounding guards quickly came out, surrounding Zhao Xu in the middle, staring at the two people in front.

One of them was a stubborn man, tearing apart a young and strong man and angrily said: "The county magistrate of Tao County, Daming Prefecture, is obviously my candidate, why do you make a fuss!"

The young and strong man was very calm, pressed the old man with both hands and said, "I am the first candidate, you suddenly inserted it. If you want to make trouble, you can go to the Shangshu Province and find me to do!"

The old man grabbed me and became even more angry, saying, "Fart! Guantao County is my hometown, I am the first candidate, you shamelessly snatched me! Come to the Censorate and tell me clearly!"

The young and strong man said with no expression on his face, "I know you. If you continue to entangle, don't blame me for being polite!"

"Zong Rulin, do you think I'm afraid of you? Let's see why you are not polite to me!" The old man grabbed the young man tightly, and almost lowered his head and hugged him in the waist.
