Chapter 29 The little girl is not a mother
In order to control the imperial guards, Chu You not only installed a large number of people, promoted some unknown people, but also detained the original disobedient generals.
This is the fastest way to control the imperial guards.
Zhao Xu was a little surprised. He was worried that Chu You and others would be lazy because Empress Dowager Gao woke up. After thinking for a while, he whispered: "Well. Grandma will definitely have actions. Come and ask me about everything. If someone presses over, take it directly in front of me!"
Taking the opportunity to seize control of the palace is one of Zhao Xu's plans. He will definitely not miss such a good opportunity!
Only by controlling the palace can he not worry about someone harming him again, nor worry about being deposed or anything because he has no power. Only by controlling the palace can his throne be considered firm!
Chu You nodded in a stern face, and then said, "Meng Yuan's people have been withdrawn. Empress Dowager Xiang has already controlled it and will be sent out of the palace tomorrow morning."
Zhao Xu took a deep breath and said, "Well, the palaces should not lift the blockade for the time being, and we will talk about it when we are completely safe tomorrow."
Chu You responded and said, "Yes."
Zhao Xu waved his hand and walked towards Funing Palace with great strides.
As soon as he arrived at Funing Hall, he asked the palace maids to prepare bath water.
Not long after, he lay in the bathtub, breathed deeply, slowly relaxed, and looked straight ahead.
The real culprit finally found this matter and he is safe!
Too many things happened tonight. He used to be just an empty air and didn't understand too many things clearly. Empress Dowager Gao had cut off Empress Dowager Xiang's wings before and settled Zhao Hao and Meng Yuan in a few words. Not only did he have many years of prestige, but he was afraid that there were other means to force them not to do anything randomly.
These are exactly what Zhao Xu lacks!
Then, Zhao Xu thought of the attitude of the "Three Majors" outside the palace. These three people did not have any respect for him, the emperor. Even though Empress Dowager Gao was unconscious, she still did not take him seriously.
In other words, even if he mastered the palace, his safety was guaranteed. Empress Dowager Gao had the final say in the palace, and the "three majors" decision outside the palace was still the puppet!
“It’s not enough…”
Zhao Xu's eyes flashed and he muttered to himself softly.
Self-protection is not enough, being such a puppet emperor is too cowardly.
Zhao Xu took a shower, changed his clothes, and sat in the study.
After thinking about it, he suddenly sat up and took Zhang Tongyi straight to Kangning Palace - this is his little mother's residence.
Corning Hall is brightly lit, but there is no sound.
Zhang Tongyi stepped forward and slapped the door and said, "Open the door, the official will come to visit."
The door was quiet for a long time before it slowly opened. An old yellow door walked out and looked at a group of people outside the door and landed on Zhao Xu. He was surprised and happy and said, "Is it really an official?"
Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Well, I'll come to see my mother."
He knew this old eunuch, who was around his little mother, Concubine Zhu. He has served him for more than ten years since he entered the palace.
When Lao Huangmen listened to Zhao Xu's words, he was first surprised, and then looked at the guards with a look of panic and said, "Then, do you know?"
"Empress" in this palace, "Empress" specifically refers to Empress Dowager Gao. Others, including Empress Dowager Xiang, will not call him this in public, and they will only dare to do so in private.
Zhao Xu couldn't wait, so he stepped in and said with a smile: "Grandma knows that I can see my mother anytime in the future."
Li Fa of the old Huangmen was overjoyed and said, "Okay, hurry up, the official family is coming, come and notify the little empress."
With Zhao Xu's arrival, the Corning Palace was suddenly in chaos.
Zhao Xu went straight to Concubine Zhu's bedroom, and his pace was very fast.
Before he arrived, he saw a middle-aged woman stumble over.
Zhao Xu hurriedly met him and said, "Xiao Madam, slow down."
Concubine Zhu's face was weak and gentle, her eyes were red, and she ran over hurriedly, grabbed Zhao Xu's arm, looked at him, and couldn't help but cry, "There is so chaotic outside, so many rumors, I'm really worried about you..."
Zhao Xu came here because of this. He held her and said calmly with a smile: "Don't worry, little girl, I'm not fine. Moreover, the imperial guards are under my jurisdiction now, and I can come to see my mother at any time, and no one dares to hurt me and my mother."
Concubine Zhu's face changed slightly. She was about to open her mouth, but when she saw so many people, she hurriedly pulled Zhao Xu into the room and whispered carefully: "Come inside."
Zhao Xu smiled, feeling a little sad, and followed Concubine Zhu toward her.
Li Fa followed behind, stopped the others at the door, and gave Zhao Xu and his son a chance to speak alone.
Concubine Zhu took Zhao Xu in, then looked outside carefully, took Zhao Xu's hand, and said with a worried look: "Hurry up, tell me, how did you come in? What did the Empress Dowager tell you?"
Zhao Xu felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at Concubine Zhu.
Although he ascended the throne and became emperor, not only did he not rule the rule at the age of being in charge, but also his little mother and her biological mother did not receive the treatment they deserved.
Concubine Zhu is the biological mother of the emperor Zhao Xu, but she is just a concubine, not a queen mother. Moreover, even the treatment of the concubine was only received last year. She could not leave the palace casually. Seeing that Zhao Xu was allowed, the mother and son could only meet once every two months or even longer.
Concubine Zhu did not live in the main palace, but was a remote Kangning Palace. She could not travel by carriage, and she was very "frugal" in food, clothing, housing and housing.
Zhao Xu looked at the strong protective emotions on Concubine Zhu's weak face, but pressed her hand and said tonight's affairs in a vain.
Concubine Zhu opened her eyes wide and looked at Zhao Xu in shock.
She had never expected that her son would do so many things tonight.
"Persuad" the three ministers of the outer court, "send away" the Empress Dowager Xiang, blocked Meng Yuan and Zhao Hao outside the palace gate, and even gained control of the imperial guards in the palace!
Even though Zhao Xu had avoided the important things, Concubine Zhu had been in the palace for more than ten years, she still heard the dangers.
She pursed her lips, tears in her eyes, and said, "It's all my fault that I'm useless. I've caused you so much suffering..."
Zhao Xu felt even more uncomfortable when he saw his mother crying. His little mother was not liked by Empress Dowager Gao and was often scolded. As the emperor's biological mother, she lived in this palace very aggrieved.
Zhao Xu suddenly took a deep breath and looked at Concubine Zhu and said, "My little girl, I will definitely respect you as the Queen Mother, so that you will no longer be wronged in this palace."
Concubine Zhu, who was crying just now, changed her expression and said quickly: "No, this is not in line with the ancestral law. The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, will not allow it. You have just mastered the imperial guards and don't know the power of the Empress Dowager, so you must not do anything randomly..."
Empress Dowager Gao has been in power behind the curtain for seven or eight years. She has mastered all the power of the Song Dynasty and has superb political skills. How could Zhao Xu deal with it just now?
Concubine Zhu held Zhao Xu's hand, held it hard, and said anxiously: "Listen to Xiao Niang, don't do anything randomly, don't anger the Empress Dowager. I have no grievances here, it's delicious and delicious. Don't worry, the little girl doesn't care about her status..."
Zhao Xu looked at Concubine Zhu's worried and scared face, and spit out the words "Where is the emperor's mother who is a little girl?" were swallowed up, and he smiled and comforted, "Okay, I won't do anything randomly. I will never mention it if I don't succeed. If I fail, I will still implicate my mother."
Concubine Zhu then breathed a sigh of relief, held Zhao Xu's hand, and still instructed with a worried look on her face: "Nothing is important, as long as you are well, after you go back, tell the Empress Dowager that she still loves you. Also, your illness is not cured yet, don't go out and walk around if you have nothing to do. Remember to drink the medicine I made for you. You have been weak since you were a child, and you don't have to come to see me often, so as not to be unhappy..."
Zhao Xu listened very seriously to Concubine Zhu's "talk" with tears in his eyes. The mother was closed here, knowing almost nothing about the outside world, and feeling sorry for her son as always.
