Chapter 3 Two Palaces(2/3)

The Market Change Law caused a great stir in Bianjing City.

There was an endless stream of ministers and relatives complaining in front of her.

Why compete with the people for profit? Excessive exploitation!

Or maybe it's the Han Dynasty's method, nothing better than this!

Therefore, Empress Dowager Gao has been persuading her son.

However, although today's officials are filial, they are unwilling to listen to her persuasion on this matter.

Liang Weijian listened quietly to Empress Dowager Gao's words, still silent, but wrote down the matter in her heart.

Empress Dowager Gao had already put down the raccoon slave in her hand.

"Go and see the emperor!" Empress Dowager Gao said, her tone somewhat lonely.

No matter what, he is her son.

She was conceived for ten months and gave birth to the flesh and bones she worked so hard for.

Nowadays, the emperor is getting sicker and sicker day by day. Seeing the emperor lose weight day by day, Empress Dowager Gao naturally feels very uncomfortable.

Liang Weijian then answered and said: "Empress, the ministers of the two palaces have just entered the palace, and they are currently in the Funing Hall asking for the Holy Eucharist..."

Empress Dowager Gao hesitated for a moment and then said: "In that case, I'll wait until the ministers leave before going to visit the emperor!"

Empress Dowager Gao was a person who respected the system very much.

This is related to her life experience.

She was born into a family of generals. Her great-grandfather Gao Qiong and grandfather Gao Jixun were both famous generals.

Although her biological father, Gao Zunfu, lost the reputation of his father-in-law, her mother came from another family of famous Song Dynasty generals, the Zhending Cao family.

Another daughter of the Cao family later married into the royal family and became the Queen of Renmiao. She was the Queen of Cishengguangxian.

Empress Ci Sheng Guangxian had no children, so she brought Empress Dowager Gao to the palace to raise her. She taught her in person, and she was very favored.

Empress Dowager Cisheng Guangxian's respect for the system deeply influenced Empress Dowager Gao.

Therefore, although Empress Dowager Gao did not like the so-called new law introduced by her son.

But it was just persuasion and never real intervention.

The son is the emperor, and he has his own way to deal with the affairs of the world.

On the other hand, most of Empress Dowager Gao's dissatisfaction with the new law also originated from this.

The ancestral system and Jiayou's government are flawless.

How can you destroy it casually?

What's more, Empress Dowager Gao always remembered that her husband's successful accession to the throne was due to the persistence of Jiayou ministers back then.

Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang, Lu Gongzhu, Li Chun...

They are all loyal ministers!

But the emperor believed Wang Anshi's heresy and abandoned these people.

Isn't this confusing?

Destroy the city wall!

Nowadays, the emperor is seriously ill and the medicine has no effect.

But the loyal ministers are far away from all over the world, and they are all treacherous ministers and rebels in the court!

Once there is a change, what should the Sheji Ancestral Temple do?

Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Gao's face inevitably started to become worried again.

Liang Weijian looked at Empress Dowager Gao's expression, raised her head calmly, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing I don't know whether I should say..."

"Say it!" Empress Dowager Gao sighed leisurely.

"I heard that a few days ago, during the long autumn period in the palace, people were ordered to set up a fast in the Daxiangguo Temple to pray for blessings. The prayer said: The prince of Yan'an County prays. Now, many people have heard about it!"

After hearing this, Queen Mother Gao suddenly turned pale and her body trembled slightly.

After a long time, she said: "Why is the queen like this?"

Liang Weijian didn't dare to answer the conversation at all, but bowed her head deeply.

Empress Dowager Gao sighed and said to herself: "How can I harm my grandson?"

The queen asked people to fast and pray, especially in the name of the Prince of Yan'an in the prayer.

This tells the world: The official family has a son!

And he has grown up!

The subtext is: everyone should be more careful!

Who is the backstabbing referring to?

People who are thoughtful will naturally think of it.

The legend of the sound of the ax and the shadow of the candle was known to everyone in the country.

The story of the Golden Chamber Alliance is even more vivid in my mind.

"Did the two ministers have anything to say?" Empress Dowager Gao thought for a moment and then asked Liang Weijian.

Liang Weijian lowered his head and replied: "I have not heard about this!"

Empress Dowager Gao's expression suddenly darkened as she listened.

Sometimes, no discussion is the biggest discussion!

Because they all went underground.

Empress Dowager Gao remembered that since the emperor became seriously ill, the ministers of the two palaces had visited the palace almost every morning and evening to pay their respects.

After greetings, they would all go to the capital hall or the Privy Council in the imperial city for a meeting.

During the meeting, the ministers often ordered the hall to be locked and only people from the Zhongshu House were allowed to be present to take notes.

The relevant record of the meeting can only be read by people in Zhongshushe.

Liang Weijian carefully observed Empress Dowager Gao's expression and reported cautiously: "However, I heard that the mother of Right Prime Minister Cai Gong once came to the palace to pay an audience according to the order of the Central Palace!"

"Cai Chizheng's mother? Ming family?" Empress Dowager Gao immediately became alert: "What did she do in the palace? Why did the queen call her into the palace?"

Liang Weijian shook his head: "This minister doesn't know anything!"

Empress Dowager Gao's vigilance was immediately heightened.

Liang Weijian was a member of the inner chamber, serving as a provincial escort and promoted to Baoci Palace, so he always had good news.

In addition, Liang Weijian also had close contacts with high-ranking ministers such as Chen Yan and Zhang Shiliang.

Even Liang Weijian didn't know what Ming and the Queen were talking about when they met?

This only shows that what the Queen and Ming discussed was extremely sensitive. I am afraid they discussed it in private and avoided others when talking about it.

Then I thought about the fact that the queen ordered people to go to Daxiangguo Temple to pray, but she pretended to be the Prince of Yan'an in her prayers. Unfortunately, everyone knows about this now.

Empress Dowager Gao had to suspect that this matter was the result of Cai Que's discussion with the empress!

This is knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger!

Queen Mother Gao took a deep breath.

She remembered again that Feng Jing, who was reported by Liang Weijian, went to Zishan Hall to get pens, ink, paper and inkstones, saying that "the prince of Yan'an County wants to copy Buddhist scriptures and pray for the officials."

How old is the Prince of Yan'an County?

Copying Buddhist scriptures?

Can he recognize all the characters in the Buddhist scriptures? Even if he recognizes them all, can he write them? Has he written them?

So, who taught it?

Why teach this way?

What is the purpose?

A word suddenly popped into Empress Dowager Gao's mind: Xiangzhuang's sword dance was intended for Pei Gong!

So, she couldn't sit still anymore and said to Liang Weijian: "Pass the decree, move to Qingning Palace!"

"I want to go and see how pure and filial my Zhao family's Qilin'er is!"

Although Empress Dowager Gao was a female, she had grown up in a palace since she was a child and had never experienced any complex human heart.

But she has already been strong!

When Yingmiao was alive, there was not a single concubine in the entire imperial city!

Her aunt, Empress Ci Shengguangxian, even scolded her for this and asked her to take the initiative to choose a concubine for Yingzong.

Empress Dowager Gao directly silenced Empress Ci Sheng Guangxian's accusation with one sentence.
