Chapter 6 Zhao Xu, who is underestimated

As the emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu actually did not live much, because after all, he was at the age of the throne, and the entire government was controlled by his grandmother. Moreover, the Empress Dowager Gao destroyed all his father's efforts. He had no respect for his grandmother in his heart, but there was endless hatred for him.

However, he could pretend that he always pretended to be a good baby. No matter what the government was, he kept preparing silently. He knew that his grandmother had lived long enough and had not had a few days left. Although it was a bit against filial piety, he was still waiting for the arrival of this day.

It was another boring morning court day, and the Empress Dowager would follow him in whatever he did. Even when he was sleeping at night, there were several people serving him. To put it nicely, this is Gao's concern for his grandson. To put it bluntly, he was monitoring him to see if he had any connection with the outside world.

In the morning, Empress Dowager Gao ruled the country from behind the curtain, and all military and national affairs were handled by her and several ministers. The young Zhao Xu had almost no say in the government affairs. The ministers also thought that Zhao Xu was young and everything depended on Empress Dowager Gao. In the court, Zhao Xu's imperial seat was opposite to Empress Dowager Gao's seat. Ministers always reported to the Empress Dowager, but did not turn around to report to Zhao Xu. He could only look at the buttocks and backs of officials in the court.

"I am full of courtesy, righteousness, integrity and shame, but I just ask others for my own sake, and I have never asked myself." This is what Zhao Xu said about his "loyal ministers" of the Song Dynasty.

These people always use things like Confucius, Meng, etc. to demand the emperor and the royal family, but they have another statement about themselves. In short, Zhao Xu feels that some people in the court work part-time, which is even dirtyer than those who sell themselves in brothels.

Zhao Xu really didn't want to continue looking at the butts of the ministers. He closed his eyes and listened quietly. He heard a lot of things, heard the weakness and powerlessness on the outside, cruelty and cold on the inside. Well, what they meant was that if the internal was unstable, it would be impossible to stabilize the external contradictions. However, Zhao Xu had never heard of these people being tough on the outside. They only knew to ced the Song Dynasty. Anyway, when he was studying history books, he would just mention the external cruelty. At worst, he could just focus on the morality of the person who was the emperor. Well, perfect!

Zhao Xu felt that he was about to fall asleep, but was reminded by the eunuchs, and then these ministers said that the emperor was unintentional to do political work. After hearing the prime ministers, Zhao Xu still admitted his mistakes in a well-behaved manner, which made these people feel fulfilled. So what if you become an emperor, I was scolded so much that I couldn't even say a word.

After the morning court, Zhao Xu followed the Empress Dowager back, and was criticized by Gao. Zhao Xu still obediently admitted his mistake. He hated Gao because of his father, but he still admired Gao's ability. After all, although the Song Dynasty has not been very good to the outside world over the years, it is still relatively stable. It's just that such hypocritical stability is not what Zhao Xu wants.

"I heard recently that there have been thieves entering the palace. The emperor has been studying in the palace recently and should not go out without permission." Gao found that his grandson was very well-behaved and sighed and warned.

"Yes, the emperor's grandmother, the grandson understands." Zhao Xu's etiquette is unmatched, but Gao knew that his grandson hated him.

"You are still young now. Some things you will know when you grow up. Governance is not that simple." Gao said, and found that his grandson was standing very well-behavedly. He suddenly felt a little powerless, and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's go back first."

"The grandson leaves." Zhao Xu bowed to Gao and left.

Gao looked at his grandson and found that his grandson was very similar to his father, both of whom were full of energy. However, Gao knew that Zhao Xu was still too young now. Of course, there were also reasons why Gao was unwilling to give up the power in his hands. After all, what is most nostalgic in the world is not something about love, but about power!

In fact, the Gao family's reforms abolished Wang Anshi were not without reasons. It was because Wang Anshi was too resolute in his work and established too many enemies for the royal family and the court. His son was also worried about the affairs of the country and eventually died of illness. In this case, the opposition would fight back desperately. If Gao family did not do this, maybe those people would rebel together, and this kind of thing had happened.

Zhao Xu, who returned to his palace, didn't know what Gao thought. Even if he knew it, he might not change his thoughts. After all, in the eyes of children of his age, black is black, white is white, and there will be no gray areas. Unfortunately, in reality, most people live in gray areas, and only a few people are absolutely black and absolutely white.

Zhao Xu didn't know this now. He picked up the book and watched it slowly. He had nothing to do and could only spend his life through study. Of course, most of the time there were still some great scholars or prime ministers outside who came to teach, but today was a time to rest.

It was soon tonight. I was shocked and completely cold food. Zhao Xu continued to sit on the chair and read the book. Suddenly, some commotion appeared outside. It was obvious that someone entered the palace again.

"These people in the martial arts world are too bold. They don't take the Emperor of Song seriously when they work part-time." Zhao Xu frowned.

Zhao Xu intended to go out for a look, but he knew that it would be better not to go out at this time, and he couldn't even go out. There were already many soldiers and eunuchs outside protecting him and preventing the thieves from entering the palace.

"Caomin Xiao Feng paid homage to the emperor, Caomin was rude." A voice came from behind Zhao Xu, and then Zhao Xu lost consciousness.

At this time, Zhao Xu was very shocked and angry. He obviously did not enter the palace to kidnap the emperor. Of course, he was also angry that he had no martial arts skills. If he had martial arts skills, such a thing might not have happened.

A moment later, Zhao Xu saw a tall and strong middle-aged man dressed in a black and gray martial arts man appear in front of him. He put a coat on Zhao Xu, then waved his right hand gently, and an inconspicuous wooden door appeared not far away. Qiao Feng carried Zhao Xu and opened the door and walked in, then placed Zhao Xu on the ground and untied the acupoints.

"Where is this place?" I suddenly came to a strange place from his palace, which made Zhao Xu forget his fear and anger.

"There is a tavern similar to the fairy world. The boss here asked Caomin to pick up the emperor here." Xiao Feng explained in a low voice, then looked up at Jiang Jiu's location, and pulled Zhao Xu to Jiang Jiu's side.

Zhao Xu looked at everything around him curiously. Everything here surprised him. When he came to his senses, he found that Xiao Feng was no longer there, and the man known as the boss was watching him and smiling.

"Well, are you a god?" Zhao Xu asked curiously.
