April of the second year of Yuanyou (23).

Due to the influence of the Zhang Dunli case, since Zhang Dunli's death, Qingshou Palace announced that it would avoid the main hall to reflect on itself and no longer participate in daily politics.

In fact, what happened before and after Zhang Dunli died made Qingshou Palace frightened.

Not to mention the other person, there is only one - Zhang Dunli just convicted, and it rained.

This made Qingshou Palace feel frightened while being unable to defend itself.

Especially the Empress Dowager herself was extremely superstitious, which aggravated the anxiety and uneasiness in the Qinghou Palace.

As for how Zhao Xu knew?

The answer is of course, there is his undercover agent in Qingshou Palace!

"Everyone, since the guilty minister Zhang Dunli hanged himself, he has often had nightmares and often woke up in the middle of the night..." Feng Jing whispered to report the news from Qingshou Palace.

Zhao Xu listened and looked at him calmly, and the subtext naturally continued.

Of course Feng Jing could understand this, so he continued to whisper: "Liang Zheng still speaks, and Qingshou Palace is a little uneasy now..."

"Many female officials and ministers have begun to be kind to Baoci Palace in private..."

Zhao Xu listened, no surprise.

Because in his previous life, similar things happened.

At that time, the Empress Dowager was not seriously ill, but after Zhao Xu got married, surrenders began to appear inside and outside the Qingbiao Palace.

When the Empress Dowager was sick, the inner court system established during the Yuanyou period was instantly collapsed.

Chen Yan could only try to gain power through the Imperial City and the Inner Escort Province to isolate the Qingshou Palace and the Outer Court.

However……

It was just his desperate struggle.

Because the Qingshou Palace system was already full of holes before the Empress Dowager was bedridden before taking medicine.

A large number of in-house ministers and female officials have already jumped into the ship.

Either he turned to Zhao Xu or turned to Empress Dowager Xiang from Baoci Palace.

Liang Chengzheng even secretly served Zhao Xu early on.

So, when Chen Yan racked his brains in Qingshou Palace to think about how to control military power.

With the assistance of Liang Congzheng, Zhao Xu had secretly recalled Song Yongchen and Liu Weijian.

Through Song Yongchen and Liu Weijian, Zhao Xu was able to master the control of the dragon and ensure his own safety.

Then, on this basis, Zhao Xu secretly summoned Miao Su, deputy commander of the Palace Front Department, Yao Lin, deputy commander of the Cavalry and Infantry Army, and obtained their allegiance.

Thus, the entire inside and outside of the imperial city was completely in his own hands.

The reason why I didn't start was just waiting for the Empress Dowager in Qingshou Palace to die.

At that time, Zhao Xu was already very patient.

On the day when the birthday palace was covered with mourning, Zhao Xu gave up all Chen Yan's missions effortlessly. The powerful Diao Ding, who was in power in the Yuanyou era, fell silently.

Before Zhao Xu took power, he died silently in the prison of the inner court.

And the prime minister of the outer court didn't even know what was going on!

Of course, even if they knew, they were powerless to do anything. They could only watch Zhao Xu and return the ministers Xifeng to the court from all over the world.

This is human heart and human nature.

It cannot be seen or touched, but it can control the world and affect the rise and fall of the country.

As the saying goes, one move will bring down again and then exhaust three times.

The current Qingshou Palace is the time when the Empress Dowager needs to inspire and boost morale.

It's a bit unfair, the Empress Dowager herself was frustrated first.

Of course, no one else is wrong to jump ship.

Insiders, there is still a choice.

But the female officials had no choice but to jump to Baoci Palace and be kind to Baoci Palace.

Feng Jing observed Zhao Xu's expression and continued to report: "I am in the inner court. I heard that the Empress Dowager wrote a letter to the Grandmaster of Wu and Chu a few days ago... Today, the Grandmaster of Wu and Chu has issued a ban on the government and ordered those who are in Beijing to dare to criticize the government from now on. Those who are in the state will be reborn as the clan!" Zhao Xu finally spoke when he heard this: "The Grandmaster is really wise to the great righteousness, and the greed of the leaking spring is left to me!"

The Queen Mother of Wu Chu State is Zhang, the biological mother of Queen Mother Xiang.

Last month, after Zhao Xu's father, the Divine Emperor, received the ceremony of justice, he followed the rules and refuted his grace. From Qin and Lu, he was granted the title of the Lady of Wu and Chu.

The biological mother of the Empress Dowager Zhang, from Han, the Grandmaster of Zhao, went to Qin, and the Grandmaster of Han.

Each of them adds fiefs, and there is a difference in soup and money.

At the same time, the three generations of ancestors, grandmother and great-grandmother of the Empress Dowager Xiang had to be rewarded.

Even Zhao Xu's cousins, cousins ​​and cousins ​​were all grateful.

For example, the youngest daughter of King Yang Zhao Wei, who was still babbling, was named Princess.

Naturally, Zhao Xu's younger brother and sister also received rewards.

As he was talking to Feng Jing, Guo Zhongxiao came to Zhao Xu and bowed respectfully: "I will report to you to your Majesty, I will follow the Queen's kind order to send you a new class to the ministers this month!"

As he said that, he presented a prepared stamp in his hand and respectfully presented it.

This is also the ripples of the Zhang Dunli case.

Affected by the Zhang Dunli case, the date of the meeting between Cui Taifu and others who had already been determined to enter the palace to attend the court could only be postponed.

Later, in order to avoid others' words, the Empress Dowager avoided the main hall and no longer participated in the morning court to listen to the government.

The Empress Dowager Xiang did not participate, and of course the Empress Dowager Xiang could not participate, otherwise it would be a transcendence.

So, the only one who could go to court to follow the government became Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu originally liked to sleep in. Even on the day of the Seminar, he had to sleep until the second hour of Mao (7 o'clock) before he was willing to get up.

Usually they sleep until Chenzheng (eight o'clock).

Of course he makes sense - he is still young and needs enough sleep to ensure development.

Therefore, the morning court's obedience became a decoration.

However, there was no emperor or queen mother in the morning court, which was normal in the Song Dynasty.

In the late Ren Temple era, Ren Temple was waiting for daily use in the palace.

Even though his physical condition was good, he was busy creating humans - until the last moment of his life, he did not give up his efforts to have a healthy heir.

During the Ying Temple era, the emperor who had been in power for four years was unable to observe politics for two and a half years due to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Zhao Xu's father was also absent from work for a long time in the seventh year of Yuanfeng.

So a small problem.

However, it is necessary for civil officials and above to be in charge of capital, military officials and ambassadors to be in charge of meeting the emperor after returning to the court.

Because, if they cannot meet, the de-teaching process will be stuck.

What’s even more serious is that after this group of people is stuck, the people behind will also be stuck, resulting in traffic jams and paralyzing the normal national ruling order.

Therefore, even in the later years of Ying Temple, when the wind was paralyzed in bed, the prime minister would take the ministers who entered the court to the Ying Temple sickbed in Funing Hall to pay a visit.

Now, the Empress Dowager is away from the main hall because Zhang Dunli is wearing a dress and refuses to attend court.

Empress Dowager Xiang did not dare to attend court without the presence of Empress Dowager Tai.

But the normal interview process for this official must continue.

Therefore, we can only change conciliation.

The result of this contingency was to issue an edict to the Empress Dowager, ordering the Capital Hall and the Tongjian Department to rearrange the visiting shifts, and then select a time when Zhao Xu has time to let these officials who should meet to meet in groups - usually worshiping from afar, even if the process is completed.

There is no doubt that this is actually Empress Dowager Xiang intends to take advantage of this opportunity to strengthen the monarchy.

The audience ceremony that was supposed to be in the morning court was moved to the time Zhao Xu wanted.
