In the evening, Tongshi sent Wang Zishao's letter.

After watching it, Zhao Xu started laughing.

"People say: An old horse is in the stable and ambition is thousands of miles away, and the martyrs are full of ambition in their old age!"

"My scholars and officials really have this kind of awareness!"

It's right to think about it carefully.

The older a person is, the more greedy he is.

Just like Han Wei, who is now in Daming Mansion, isn’t he busy expressing his loyalty to Zhao Xu every day?

A greeting letter from Daming Mansion is sent every half month.

In his words, Zhao Xu blushed a little when he saw it.

What Han Wei wants is not just a cool umbrella?

So, whether it was Zhang Wen, the iron-headed retrograde, or Cui Taifu, an old minister who had been exiled to the outside world for more than two years.

Wang Zishao's report describes one of their common characteristics - wanting to make a difference!

Especially after talking to Wang Zishao, Cui Taifu expressed his willingness to fully implement all instructions from the court in the law.

This is very good!

Zhao Xu put down his letter, stood up, and instructed Feng Jing: "Feng Jing, prepare for it, I want to go and greet the two palaces!"

At this time, there were signs of wind and rain outside the hall.

It looks like it will rain soon.

God is so impermanent!

Before the Xinchou day of April (20), the rain in the Gyeonggi area had not yet fallen for more than fifty days.

However, since the rain fell on Xinchou Day, three rains have fallen in just a few days.

If we play again tonight, it will be the fourth game.

Not only does it rain in Kaifeng Prefecture, but also rainfall in the Luoshui River Basin upstream.

The abundant rains have greatly increased the capacity of the Bian River.

The Bian River became prosperous again, as if the previous drought did not exist.

There were canal boats day and night, entering the capital from the Bian River, Cao River, Wuzhang River and others.

Workers in the stacking yard are busy from morning to night.

Sometimes, I have to work overtime overnight.

Everything seems to be getting better!

It seems that it is really as the civil officials said, because of Zhang Dunli.

However, Zhao Xu knew that the end of the drought was just the beginning.

Since the eighth year of Yuanfeng, the global climate has been gradually affected by a new round of Little Ice Age.

The warm and stable climate period that began the founding of the Song Dynasty will end.

More than ten years later, the icy waves of Taihu Lake and the Grand Canal will announce the arrival of a real troubled times.

The era of good weather is over!

The chaos of many disasters will begin.

The rise of the Jurchens and Mongolia that he saw in modern history books.

It was born from this chaotic era.

Thinking of these things, Zhao Xu couldn't help but whisper: "I'm not waiting for time, I'm not waiting for time!"

He must find a way out before that.

Otherwise... an implosion is inevitable!

Thinking of this, Yan Yuan had led the Dragon to the outside of the hall.

Surrounded by the loyal dragon, Zhao Xu first went to Baoci Palace along the corridor of the imperial city, met with Empress Dowager Xiang, and then returned to Qingshou Palace.

The Empress Dowager in Qingshou Palace has been in a depressed mood these days and is a little depressed.

no way!

She was really worried.

Worry about Gao's future and also about the future of his precious son Zhao Hao.

However, Zhao Xu has been giving her peace of mind - for example, yesterday, Zhao Xu issued an edict on the excuse that "the mother works hard for the country and is responsible for the country" to posthumously confer on the title of King Gao Zunfu, the biological father of the Empress Dowager, as King Chen.

Although, this kind of posthumous stamp is not a penny, it is purely formal.

However, the spirit and mood of the Empress Dowager were much better because of this.

When Zhao Xu arrived, she had returned to her former expression, but was a little tired.

However, she politely declined the matter of Zhao Xu asking her to "Yuzheng Palace".

It's not that she doesn't want to come back.

I really can't come back!

Zhang Dunli died, and his parents and brothers had just been sent out of Bianjing.

Although monk Xiuzai and others involved in the case had been sentenced to beheading, they had to wait until after autumn when beheading according to the rule.

It’s not that she has to wait until these people are executed before she can come out to listen to politics again.

But at least, we have to wait until everything is calm and the public has forgotten the Zhang Dunli case.

In this way, at least after the Dragon Boat Festival, the Empress Dowager will once again appear and take control of the country from behind the curtain.

During this period, the curtains of the two palaces will become curtains of the Baoci Palace.

This inevitably leads to the transfer of power.

Perhaps, by the time she reappeared in Chongzheng Hall, everything had changed.

Because Queen Mother Xiang is beginning to assume and accept greater power, either passively or actively.

The priests also had a tacit understanding and began to frequently ask for decrees from Baoci Palace.

After leaving Qingshou Palace, Zhao Xu accompanied Empress Dowager Xiang in the corridor back to Baoci Palace.

At this time, it began to drizzle in the sky.

Oil lamps hanging under the corridor illuminate the roads in the corridor.

When she walked to Funing Hall, Empress Dowager Xiang suddenly said to Zhao Xu: "Sixth brother, the female official of Princess Shoukang's residence, today, the princess cried every day and refused to eat, as if she was about to die..."

Zhao Xu also shook his head in his heart as he heard this.

He studied abroad for ten years in modern times, and in terms of his three views, he was naturally inevitably influenced by modern ideas.

Especially the social class he lives in is generally more progressive.

Although, most people just say some politically correct words.

In private, how to play or how to play.

However, Zhao Xu was still a little embarrassed by the virtues of the Song Dynasty.

What is Zhang Dunli?

Why is a princess killed?

If this matter really happens, the royal family will lose all their faces!

What will people say?

But Princess Shoukang, if she really wants to die, she can't stop her.

Zhao Xu had no choice but to say, "In a few days, I will send someone to invite the princess to the palace and persuade him..."

That's all.

Otherwise?

Queen Mother Xiang shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work!"

"The princess has been crying for the past few days..."

"The sixth brother must think of a way as soon as possible to comfort the princess."

Zhao Xu thought for a while and said, "Then... order the sect to stop looking for an adopter for the princess's son?"

Princess Shoukang's desire to die is nothing more than a heart death.

The reason for the death of my heart was that the husband committed suicide and the uncle and his family were exiled.

The biggest reason is probably that his only son was also taken away by the magistrate.
