Chapter 71 Hurry up
Lu Dafang, Su Song, Qin Bing and others did not respond much. After all, Zhao Xu had been trying to transfer Cai Jing back and put it in the court.
But Liu Shian and the people behind him were not sure. How could they not be shocked when Zhao Xu came directly with the order!
Almost all the people in the court are "old parties". How could they tolerate the "royal party" that almost caused chaos in the world to return to Tokyo!
Before these people could speak, Zhao Xu stared at Liu Shi'an, thinking about using him to try further, and said, "This is my will. Do you want to resist the order?"
Liu Shian was about to open his mouth, but suddenly he was alert.
Since the Sansi Yamen was sealed, he felt that things were not simple. In addition, now the two ministers Lu and Su were secretly secretive and kept silent. He shrank his head invisibly, and his voice became calm. He raised his hand and said with a little respect: "I dare not. I just sent a sect to the Six Lessons, as one of the six ritual envoys, I cannot be held responsible for the position of a loyal and direct official. Cai Jing has some shortcomings in both his pride and prestige. Please consider it."
Zhao Xu felt a secretly sorry that Liu Shi'an was a disciple of Sima Guang. If he was completely taken down, more people might jump out and completely disrupt the situation of the court, so that he could see clearly, so that he could take the opportunity to suppress and win over the government and lay out the government.
Liu Shian is very polite and kind now, so it is not easy for Zhao Xu to take action.
Zhao Xu glanced at Lu Dafang, and the pot had to be placed on his head. He smiled gently and said, "I feel very relieved that the Liu Qing family can have such an idea. This matter was agreed by my grandmother. The Lu Qing family and the Su Qing family are all present, so that's the decision."
Liu Shian was considering how to continue to refute without being humble or arrogant. Seeing that Zhao Xu made a big move and threw the blame on Lu Dafang, he had to turn to Lu Dafang.
Zhao Xu's sentence is indeed correct. Cai Jing was suggested by Meiren Meng and Empress Dowager Gao agreed, but it was delayed until now because Su Che forcibly opposed it.
Lu Dafang was old and seemed to have not heard it, standing there indifferently.
This is the default!
Liu Shi'an and others looked at each other, unable to believe it. As the prime minister, Lu Dafang has been strongly opposing reforms since the Shenzong Dynasty and opposing the royal party. Cai Jing was also demoted repeatedly in the Political Affairs Hall. How can he agree to Cai Jing return to Kaifeng now?
Seeing that, Zhao Xu turned around and left without giving Liu Shian the opportunity to continue to linger.
For the rest, let the "old party" get into trouble.
Seeing that Zhao Xu had left, Liu Shian didn't care about giving him a favor. He raised his hand to look at Lu Dafang and said with an uneasy look: "Prime Minister, this..."
Lu Dafang slowly raised his head, looked at Liu Shi'an and others, and said in a hoarse and low voice: "Come with me."
As he said that, he turned around and turned to the government affairs hall.
Liu Shi'an and others had thousands of words, but they couldn't say it.
Su Song glanced at Feng Zhengyao and said, "Come with me."
Feng Zhengyao is much more than Liu Shi'an and others. As a general, he just needs to wait for the orders above.
Zhao Xu, regardless of how Lu Dafang dealt with the rebound within the "old party", strode back to Cining Hall and said to Qin Lu beside him: "Tell Chen Pi, Chu You, don't ask for immediate control, just stabilize the overall situation and not use it for others. Now you have to seize the time and move quickly. You must do it before tomorrow morning!"
Qin Lu listened to the hint of anxiety in Zhao Xu's words and immediately said, "Yes. Don't worry, the official family will definitely control the front office of the palace before the Empress Dowager wakes up and prevent them from causing trouble!"
Zhao Xu turned his head and looked at him, saying, "You must not say such words in the future."
Qin Lu quickly raised his hand and said, "Yes, I know the crime!"
Zhao Xu waved his hand, thinking quickly in his heart. He had to complete the arrangement before Empress Dowager Gao woke up. Only by fully grasping power can he persuade Empress Dowager Gao to withdraw the curtain and return to power!
Knowing that the Sansi Yamen was so bad, Zhao Xu had to take action as soon as possible. He couldn't wait on the other side of Huanqing Road, so he had to raise military funds as soon as possible to send them.
As his heart flew, Zhao Xu said again: "Call that Tong Guan to see me. From now on, no one is allowed to approach the Cining Palace without my permission. Is Liang Tao still there? Call him to see me."
Qin Lu tried his best to remember Zhao Xu's words and said, "Yes, I will do it now."
Zhao Xu nodded and walked straight into Cining Hall.
Zhao Xu entered the Cining Hall and came to the Empress Dowager Gao's bedroom.
Zhou He is very cautious now. When he saw Zhao Xu, he saluted and said, "The emperor has not woken up yet. The imperial physician said that it may take tomorrow."
Zhao Xu sat down beside the bed of Empress Dowager Gao with a motionless expression, observed her face, and said, "The Imperial Doctor said, "It's okay, don't be too nervous."
Zhou He smiled stiffly, and kept praying in his heart: Empress, wake up quickly, if you don’t wake up, the weather will change!
Zhao Xu ordered the palace maid to bring a basin and a towel to wipe the cold sweat from Empress Dowager Gao's head.
Soon, Tong Guan came. He was tall and big, and had a strong physical examination. He bowed his head and was careful every step. His movements looked a bit awkward and funny.
He came to Zhao Xu in small steps and saluted: "The villain has seen the official family."
Zhao Xu looked at him and said, "There is some chaos in the palace. Is there any way you can do it?"
Tong Guan missed the opportunity last time and was very angry. Seeing that the official family gave him another chance, he knew that this was the last time. His eyes flashed violently and said, "Kill some, beat some, and change some."
Zhao Xu looked at him with half-closed eyes and said, "Can you do it?"
Tong Guan's heart beat violently, and he knelt on the ground with a thud and said, "You can do it!"
Zhao Xu glanced at Zhou He and said, "I asked the imperial guards to cooperate with you and give you one night. I want the palace to be refreshed. Do you understand?"
A new look!
Tong Guan kowtowed and said, "The villain understands."
"Go." Zhao Xu said lightly.
Tong Guan kowtowed again and said, "The villain will never let down the official's fate."
As he said that, he stood up, saluted again, and turned around and went out.
Qin Lu had been waiting outside for a long time, handing over a hundred imperial guards to him, and he was in charge of his actions.
Zhou He stood not far from Zhao Xu, listening to his arrangement, and his heart was terrified. He was about to drip out of water on his face, but he didn't dare to say a word.
Zhao Xu arranged these things and looked contemplative.
Liang Tao, who was in the side hall, was called out by the guards. He watched Su Che be taken away by the tied bundle at the door. He looked nervous and asked the guards in front of him, saying, "Is this what Mr. Su?"
The guards did not look back and said, "I am not looking at the emperor and neglecting the laws and regulations. The officials have already put him in prison and ordered the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate, and the Dali Temple to be tried."
Liang Tao's expression changed and he bowed his head suddenly.
Su Che was the three envoys, the prime minister, and one of the three prime ministers of the court!
Is this the crime of being imprisoned? How long has it been since the Song Dynasty had my husband been imprisoned? What would happen to Su Che? The officials directly used the imperial guards in the palace to seize the three officials' yamen, so they wouldn't let it go easily?
Liang Tao was ups and downs and was worried, and followed the guards into Cining Hall.
When he arrived at Empress Dowager Gao's bedroom, Liang Tao watched Zhao Xu sitting beside Empress Dowager Gao's bed, his legs trembled, and he stepped forward with difficulty, raised his hand and bowed: "I am here to see the official family."
Seeing his face turned pale, his head was covered in cold sweat, and he said with a blank expression: "I ask you, what is the situation on the other side of Huanqing Road? How long can their food and grass last?"
When Liang Tao saw that Zhao Xu was asking about this, his nervousness was slightly relieved and said, "When he returned to the official's house, there is military farm on Huanqing Road. According to my expectations, he can hold on for another month."
"One month?"
Zhao Xu frowned, estimating the distance and time in his heart, and said, "I'll ask you again, if you raise enough military pay, how long do you think it will take?"
Liang Tao did not dare to wipe the cold sweat from his head, and lowered his head and said, "I have to raise money and grain, and I have to do it in the Sansi Yamen and the Political Affairs Hall. I... I don't have this power."
