With Wang Cun's sudden "rebellion", the wind direction in the court and the public changed dramatically, and public opinion was complex and changeable.

The big men in the court were also quite surprised by this, but were calm and did not react too much.

However, the diehards who opposed the reform represented by the "old party" were like crazy.

I don’t know how many people panic, and how many people gathered together in panic to find solutions.

The "political legacy" left by Empress Dowager Gao has been almost cleaned up by Zhao Xu. Outside the palace are civil servants represented by the Ministry of Works, and in the palace is Empress Meng.

At this time, an extremely special person came to Empress Meng’s Renming Palace - Zhang Dun!

Although Zhang Dun is not the magistrate, everyone knows that this person is already there!

He was the leader of the "New Party" and the first real power minister of the dynasty.

The "New Party" during Wang Anshi's period was not considered a clique. In addition, Wang Anshi himself was strict with himself. Although there were party struggles, it was not as fierce and cruel as Yuanyou's, and he could do anything.

But now the "new party" that has been severely suppressed by the "old party" has returned to the court, and I don't know how many people can't sleep or eat.

Zhang Dun's performance also confirmed their uneasiness.

The first thing Zhang Dun did when he returned to Beijing was to help Zhao Xu and force Empress Dowager Gao to "removal of the curtain and return to power"!

Secondly, it was to liquidate the death of the "old party" boss, Lu Dafang's death, Fan Chunren and others' "lifelong imprisonment", which completely broke the unspoken rule of the Song Dynasty's "no punishment for doctors".

Then, Zhang Dun began to liquidate Sima Guang, and Lu Gongjie and others did not stop, and even wanted to dig a grave and expose the body.

What's more, we must settle the throne of Empress Dowager Gao, deprive him of the Empress Dowager of the throne, and not bury Yingzong's tomb.

Of course, Zhang Dun also tried to liquidate Empress Meng, established by Empress Dowager Gao, hoping that the entire Song Dynasty, inside and outside the palace would be "changed".

However, these were silently resolved under Zhao Xu's suppression.

But this does not mean that Zhang Dun and the "New Party" have given up. They have been secretly accumulating their strength and staring at them!

Empress Meng sat in the front seat, holding her lower abdomen in both hands, holding her tightly unconsciously, and exerting a little force on her lips.

No one would doubt Zhang Dun's ability, but what is scary is his style and courage!

When Yuan Youchu, who was in charge of the court again, he could catch Sima Guang and scold Sima Guang for being a "village master" without any fear.

After returning, he sent Empress Dowager Gao for a long time, insisting on "extreme punishment" by Lu Dafang and others, and even killing people in the street!

These are not the traditional actions of civil officials of the Song Dynasty.

Even the empress of the dynasty, Empress Meng was still worried. Zhao Xu was not there, and she was useless and had no ability and confidence to compete with Zhang Dun!

Zhang Dun sat on the chair, drank tea simply without polite words, Zhang Dun looked directly at Empress Meng and said, "Empress Dowager wants the king to deposit it into the Political Affairs Hall?"

Empress Meng sat straight and quickly felt a little pain in her lower abdomen, but she remained calm and said with a smile: "It's not my palace, it's the official family."

During this period, Zhang Dun naturally thought it through. He said bluntly: "I can satisfy the Empress's wishes, but the Empress must rely on me for a few things."

Empress Meng kept smiling and said, "I am just a wife and I should discuss with the official."

Zhang Dun's expression was calm, and his always stern brows became calm, without any nonsense, and said, "First, after this matter, the Empress summons the court officials or asks for instructions, please give the Prophet to the Political Affairs Hall."

Seeing Zhang Dun so straightforward, Empress Meng knew in her heart that her previous actions had touched Zhang Dun's bottom line.

She sat still, nodding or shaking her head.

Zhang Dun looked at her and said, "Secondly, the Empress's family or other people should not ascend to a high position or have real power, and should not be granted a title."

Empress Meng looked calm and looked at Zhang Dun.

Zhang Dun didn't want Empress Meng to reply, his sword eyebrows slowly raised, his eyes firm and sharp, and said: "The third and last one: I hope the Empress promises me one thing - Empress, never interfere in politics!"

Queen Meng looked motionless. She sat very straight and her stomach was very uncomfortable, but there was nothing on her face except for her lips pursing.

Zhang Dun's body was a little hunched, but his expression became more and more severe, giving people a sense that if Empress Meng said the word "no", he would rush up to kill the queen!

There are only two of them in the main hall of Renming Hall.

quiet.

The needle can be heard.

No one knew how long it took. In the dead silence, Empress Meng loosened her tightly pursed lips and whispered: "I can agree to my husband, but my husband must also agree to me with a condition."

Zhang Dun was like a sculpture, motionless and said, "Please tell me, Empress."

Empress Meng's expression became firm, and even looked at death with a light tone, saying: "My husband must promise that he will not target me or my children in the future. If anyone wants to harm us, you must protect us."

Zhang Dun stared straight at Empress Meng, but did not speak.

From his heart, he was extremely disgusted with Empress Dowager Gao, believing that Emperor Shenzong had been working hard for more than 20 years in the hands of the old woman who knew nothing.

How many people's hard work and more than 20 years of hard work have been gone in one go!

Over the past seven years, how could his hatred and anger day and night be easily erased with a light "time has passed"?

Queen Meng pursed her lips again, her face turned cold, and she actually stared at Zhang Dun with her eyes.

This is her last bottom line, the last step that cannot be broken through!

If Zhang Dun and the "New Party" continue to target her, she may not care, but not dealing with her children!

She will never agree, she will fight to the death!

Zhang Dun and Empress Meng looked at each other for a long time and suddenly said, "Okay, Zhang Dun agrees."

Queen Meng's face turned tight and asked, "How should I believe Mr. Zhang?"

Zhang Dun said: "Zhang Dun protects his life. As long as the Empress keeps her promise, Zhang Dun will protect the Empress with her life and be in a good state in her womb."

Queen Meng's tense face slowly relaxed, with a smile in her eyes, and she said, "I believe in my husband."

Empress Meng would not ask Zhang Dun to write anything. She knew people like Zhang Dun, either they would not make a promise. Once they promised, they would rather die than regret it!

Zhang Dun looked at Empress Meng for a while, but didn't ask for anything, and stood up and said, "I'm going to leave."

When Empress Meng heard this, she quickly held the chair with one hand, stood up slowly, and said, "I'll send you my husband to see you off."

Zhang Dun did not speak, bowed, and had a thorough manners, leaving Renming Palace.

Empress Meng stood under the eaves, watching Zhang Dun's back, and a smile with lingering fear appeared on her face.

Zhang Dun returned to the green tiled house and sat on the chair, as if nothing had happened. He picked up the pen and had to review the official documents.

As soon as he finished writing a few words, he suddenly frowned his eyebrows slowly, his eyes were alert, and he hummed lowly: "What a queen..."
