He only asked Concubine Xing, who was holding Zhao Ji, and Zhao Xu came to the two palaces, bowed down to greet him, greeted Zhu again, and called "Sister".

Empress Dowager Xiang looked at Zhao Xu with a smile on her face.

Especially Zhao Xu called her "mother's queen" and Zhu's "sister", which made her particularly happy.

Empress Dowager Xiang took Zhao Xu's little hand and sat down, and said with a smile: "After today, my sixth brother will be one year older. In another two or three years, my mother can enjoy the happiness with the queen mother!"

Although Zhao Xu's actual age was exaggerated by two years old.

However, since he ascended the throne, both in and outside the palace, the official family of the current dynasty was born on December 13, 1075 (1075).

Everyone says this!

Because Zhao Xu's life before he ascended the throne was always a fog.

Therefore, the history books of time have been quietly launched.

Now, even Zhao Xu almost thought that he was born in Xining in the eighth year. After the Chinese New Year, he would be thirteen.

In the rural areas of the Song Dynasty today, many thirteen-year-old children have lived independently and even started a family.

Plus his increasingly mature skills.

Therefore, the government and the government, at least the magistrates of the capital and the generals of the three yamen no longer regard him as a child.

Instead, a monarch who is about to become an adult and will soon be in power.

Empress Dowager Xiang's words immediately caused the concubines in the hall to start laughing.

Concubine Wu Xian and Concubine Lin De, who had been favored by Zhao Xu, immediately bowed to the two palaces and said many flattering words about Zhao Xu.

It is also "The sage of charity and support for the official family, and it will definitely be a good story in history in the future", and it is also "The Empress Dowager is the No. 1 Queen Mother in the World, and the Empress Dowager is the No. 1 Virgin Mother in the World".

He coaxed both palaces to the point of being unable to stop.

As for the concubine who was holding Zhao Ji in the corner of the crowd, no one cared about it.

No one even glanced at it.

That's what it means in the palace.

They always step on low and support high, and tend to be strong.

Seeing this, Concubine Xing could only sigh helplessly, and couldn't help but clench the young and ignorant Zhao Ji's hand.

For her, the only good news is that Shiyilang has always been healthy.

As long as she can raise Shiyilang to adulthood, she will have a support in the future.

But he didn't know that Zhao Xu was quietly observing the mother and son from the corner of his eyes.

...

After the noise, the concubines and princesses took their own resignation.

They must return to their respective concubines, command the upper and lower levels, clean up the inside and outside, and burn garbage.

This is the tradition of New Year’s Eve, and welcoming the new.

In the inner sleeper, it soon became quiet.

Zhao Xu sat beside the two palaces and asked softly: "Classic Mother, is it because of the affairs of the outer court?"

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "That's right!"

"The official family, the censors of the outer court, are so sure..."

"Xian Yulai and Shangguan Jun are all hypocrites, with human faces and beasts!" When she said this, she couldn't help but grit her teeth.

This storm almost made her lose all her face and lose all her face in front of the world!

You know, this storm happened before the Zhengdan period.

These four barbarians were either in Bianjing or on the way to come.

If these villains really succeed, then wouldn’t she, the great Song Dynasty’s Tairen, and Yao and Shun, be embarrassed before the whole world and the envoys of the nation?

It is precisely because of this that after I recalled the taste in the past two days, the more I thought about it, the more I thought about it, forming a closed loop.

I just wish I could peel all the relevant people and then demote them to Lingnan to eat lychees and even go fishing in Yazhou!

It can’t be said that the fish bandits in Yazhou can be caught, but the literati and doctors are now unable to catch them, right?

With this mentality, she continued: "As for Zeng, Su and the two sacrificial servants, a blatant private person, they wanted to turn the state's public goods into their own use!"

"Su Sheren is even more suspicious of being unfaithful to the Song Dynasty!"

"Now, public opinion is boiling and the government is shaking. Today, Dengwen Guyuan submitted many memorials from the old ministers of Renzu, all of which said, "Su Che, a servant of the Secretariat, denounced his ancestors' great achievements and was a person who was not a minister and was never available."

Zhao Xu listened, pondered for a moment and said, "Classic Mother, Su Che is the official in the imperial lecture beside Sun Chen."

"Sun Chen still knows his character."

"There will never be a disobedient."

"As for his mistake in the Pavilion Examination?" Zhao Xu said: "It was not intentional, it was just an unintentional mistake."

"Besides..." Zhao Xu said with a smile: "Today is New Year's Eve, the family should be harmonious and beautiful. It's better not to mention these troubles."

The Empress Dowager Xiang immediately said, "Yes, Empress, today is New Year's Eve, and the festival to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new should be more festive. Please don't mention these troubles again!"

"Stop being unlucky..."

The three words "unlucky" directly hit the Empress Dowager's life gate.

Not just because she is superstitious.

Because she remembered that now, the Liao Kingdom, Xixia, Jiaozhi, Tubo, Kucha and other He Zhengdan envoys have arrived in Bianjing City.

If these people were dealt with with great fanfare, they might have attracted the surprise of friendly countries.

Especially Xixia!

I just had a fight with the Western Pirates this year.

Although the Song Dynasty won, the money spent was reported by the Ministry of Revenue alone, at least five million yuan.

This has not counted the two million chunks of emergency allocations from the pile seal warehouse and the military rewards from all over Shaanxi.

What if the turmoil in the Song Dynasty made the Western thieves think that the situation in the Song Dynasty was unstable and there was an opportunity to take advantage of it. What should we do if we came to invade again next year?

Thinking of these, she said: "The official family, what the Empress Dowager said!"

"Let's worry about it after the festival!"

But she held her breath in her heart and had to vent.

So, she said to Zhao Xu: "Didn't the official's family say that a few days ago, can you strictly investigate the use of the money of the officials and officials?"

"yes……"

"Can you choose someone?" she asked.

Zhao Xu replied: "Sun Chen has already ordered Cai Jing, Kaifeng Prefecture, and has promoted the street officials Jia Zhongmin and other officials to be responsible for this matter."

The Empress Dowager thought for a while and said, "Then she is alone, she will be promoted with Cai Jingquan..."

"Sun Chen respectfully listened to the kindness of the Queen Mother!" Zhao Xu certainly would not object.

Even, that's what he wanted to see.

The Empress Dowager said: "I heard that the old man Shutan, who was in the past, was upright and selfless, made the villain tremble..."

"I wonder where this Zhongsi is now?"

When Zhao Xu heard this, he immediately took a breath in his heart!

Shu Tan, one of the initiators of the Wutai poetry case.

At that time, this person was among the people who held Yang Sui (magnifying glass) and checked Su Shi's poems and articles one by one in the Censorate.

He is a contemporary figure like Lai Junchen!

At the same time, this is also a speculator.

As long as you have the chance, you will try your best to climb upwards at all costs.

Therefore, after the Wutai Poetry Case, he rose rapidly. Within a few years, he was appointed as the Chief Censor of the Censor and Zhibaowen Pavilion.

At its peak, it is said that "the flames are burning, and those who see them look sideways."

From the prime minister to the minor official, there is nothing that is not afraid of him.

But, as the saying goes, if you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts.

So, in the sixth year of Yuanfeng, he suffered a huge fall.

Because of a very small matter, Zhao Xu's father used it as an excuse and issued an edict to dismiss him.

And the handling was very strict: the two officials were chased, the two officials were stopped, and the organization was in charge of their hometown.

And he was ordered to return home immediately and not to stay!

So Shu Tan had to take a boat in a hurry and leave Beijing in a panic.
To be continued...
