Zhao Xu thought for a long time and looked up at the outside of the palace.

In the palace, he could not have conflicts with Empress Dowager Gao, and he was born with a disadvantage in ethics. If he wanted to break free and give his mother the title he deserved, he also needed the support of the civil servants outside.

‘How to tear a gap in the old party that is a piece of iron...’

Zhao Xu whispered in his heart, thinking of various ways.

The "old party" is a solid piece of paper. They have a common political philosophy, not a traditional collection of interests. If you want to open a gap, you must find the right place.

At the same time, Chen Pi led the eight-year-old Zhao Si and seven-year-old Zhao You'e to the front of Kangning Hall.

The two children have been away from Concubine Zhu for a long time and have only been seeing each other once for a long time. At this moment, the two of them stood in front of the door with a little confused face.

When Li Fa saw that Chen Pi brought His Thirteenth Princess and the Tenth Princess came over, he was extremely surprised and had already sent someone to report.

Concubine Zhu was excited and worried because Zhao Xu came to see her last night, so she did not fall asleep. Listening to the movement outside, she hurried out.

When he saw Zhao Si and Zhao You'e again, he was surprised and happy. He hurriedly ran over to hug them, couldn't help crying and crying. After a while, he hurriedly let go and looked at the two of them and said, "Why are you here? Did the Empress Dowager agree?"

Zhao You'e reached out to wipe the tears from Concubine Zhu's face, her voice was tender and crisp, "I don't cry..."

Zhao Si calmed down a little and said, "Xiao Madam, it was Chen Pi who brought us here."

Chen Pi bowed and smiled with Concubine Zhu, saying, "The Concubine means the official family. The Thirteenth Princess and the Tenth Princess will always live in Kangning Hall in the future."

Seeing that Concubine Zhu changed color, Chen Pi added another sentence: "The Empress Dowager also agreed."

Concubine Zhu looked at Chenpi. She knew that the Empress Dowager didn't like her, so she said uneasy: "Really?"

Chen Pi said, "Yes, otherwise how could the villain bring His Highness Thirteenth and Princess Ten over here?"

When Concubine Zhu heard this, she felt relieved. She hurriedly pulled up her two children and was about to walk in. Suddenly she turned around and whispered with Chenpi: "You ask the official to remember my words and never conflict with the Empress Dowager."

Chenpi nodded repeatedly and watched Concubine Zhu enter the door before leaving.

Chen Pi returned to Funing Palace and returned to Zhao Xu, smiling and said, "The official family, the concubine was so happy that she cried."

Zhao Xu smiled, feeling a little more comfortable, and said, "You can keep an eye on the other side of your mother and send it to you whatever you lack. If your grandmother does anything to your mother, stop it first and tell me immediately."

Tangerine responded and said, "The villain has written it down."

Zhao Xu closed the book in front of him and said, "Although we have mastered the imperial guards, our situation will be worse than before, so we must be careful. In addition to keeping a close eye on the palace, we must also be careful when it comes to things outside the palace. If there are any big and small things outside the palace, I must let me know as soon as possible..."

Tangerine's eyes were shining and she said, "Yes. The villain will do it now."

Zhao Xu nodded, waited for him to leave, let out a gentle breath, and rubbed his temples that were a little painful.

In the past, he had a tacit understanding with Empress Dowager Gao. As long as he shrank his head, Empress Dowager Gao would not put too much pressure on him. Now that he has taken advantage of the imperial guards, he is afraid that Empress Dowager Gao will not sit idly by.

I'm afraid there will be no peace in this palace.

In the evening, Empress Dowager Gao in the Cining Palace sat on the bed, took the medicine bowl, and before drinking it, she looked up at next Zhouhe.

Zhou He understood and bowed and said, "The official family did not go to any other place except when he went to Corning Hall in the morning. The Thirteenth Princess and the Tenth Princess were sent over, and there was nothing else."

Empress Dowager Gao took a sip of the medicine, put the bowl back, and said, "Is there anything outside?"

Zhou He looked as usual and said, "The outside of the palace is very calm, and the rumors have disappeared. The three husbands came to greet each other at noon. Because the Empress was still sleeping, they waited for a while before going back."

Empress Dowager Gao wiped her mouth, leaned on the bed, and sighed: "It's not enough to be old when people get old. This disease has so many more things."

Zhou He looked up at Empress Dowager Gao, after a moment, walked further, bowed down, and said in a very calm tone: "Empress, do you want it..."

Empress Dowager Gao glanced at him and said lightly: "Nothing."

Zhou He had no expression on his face and slowly retreated.

Empress Dowager Gao leaned against the head of the bed, looking a little pale, but her eyes were very calm. She silently for a while, and suddenly said, "Please invite Xianggong Su to the palace."

Su Xianggong, Su Che.

Zhou He responded without any sorrow or joy: "Yes."

After Zhou He left, Empress Dowager Gao was left in the bedroom. Her eyes gradually became firm and her expression was majestic.

Zhao Xu knew as soon as Su Che entered the palace. After all, the people guarding the palace gate were all his people.

Zhao Xu did not deliberately ask someone to ask what Su Che had talked about when he entered the palace, and sat in the study and read quietly.

He needs time and is waiting for opportunities.

But in the evening, Chenpi suddenly came from outside anxiously to Pianhu. Regardless of Zhao Xu being having a meal, he said with a serious expression: "The official family, the Empress Dowager has taken action."

Zhao Xu was drinking porridge, and suddenly looked up and said, "Where is it?"

If Empress Dowager Gao wants to suppress him, there are too many ways and methods.

Chen Pi looked outside and walked closer and whispered: "The news from the Zhengshi Hall is Su Che for the time being."

The etiquette for getting married in the Song Dynasty was very complicated, such as Najib, Nacheng, Juqi, etc. As an emperor, it was naturally more complicated. Every step was called "Someone Envoy" and was used as the "Three Majors".

Zhao Xu frowned. What is the purpose of Empress Dowager Gao’s move?

If he gets married, he will be an adult. When he becomes an adult, he will naturally be regarded as a rule. After the wedding, there will inevitably be such a voice in the court and the people. Is Empress Dowager Gao causing trouble for herself for nothing?

Seeing Zhao Xu pondering, Chen Pi said again: "I have already chosen it, it's Meiren Meng."

Zhao Xu was stunned and said, "Meng Yuan's granddaughter?"

Tangerine Pi nodded in a secluded manner, secretly shocked.

He had to admire Empress Dowager Gao's skillful methods. Meng Yuan clashed with the official family outside Xuande Gate and was demoted from the capital. His relationship with the official family was extremely tense. Empress Dowager Gao helped his granddaughter to the position of Empress Dowager!

This is deliberately coming for the official family!

After hearing this, Zhao Xu's mouth was slightly raised and a hint of smile appeared.

I have to say that Empress Dowager Gao’s political skills are indeed superb.

He held Meng Yuan and stabilized the Guards and Infantry Division to check and balance the imperial guards in the palace, and controlled Meng Meiren to monitor him. At the same time, Meng Meiren was able to control the harem as the queen. Moreover, he further showed the government and the opposition that the Empress Dowager, who was in charge of the emperor, was really clever!

Emperor Zhezong in history was indeed very angry at the Empress Meng established for him by Empress Dowager Gao, and he dared not speak out at that time. After Empress Dowager Gao passed away and took power, he wiped out the old party and deposed Empress Meng and drove him out of the palace to become a female Taoist priest.

But Zhao Xu is different now. He knows very well how wise and brave Empress Meng is.

She played a very critical role in the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty, and even turned the tide down. It can be said without hesitation that it was she who saved the Southern Song Dynasty and continued the Song Dynasty’s reign!

Such a woman has been rare in ancient times. Empress Dowager Gao gave her to Zhao Xu as a chess piece. How could Zhao Xu get angry? He would wake up with a happy dream!

Chen Pi saw Zhao Xu smiling strangely, and couldn't help but ask: "Officials, is there any countermeasures?"

Zhao Xu was awakened by Chenpi, and quickly restrained his expression and looked out the door with a smile. His smile gradually increased, saying, "I was too focused on investigating the case before and ignored a lot of things. Now I remembered it. Well, I was also paying attention. Notify Chu You to go out of the palace to play."
