In December of the first year of Yuanyou, Dingwei (23).

As soon as Zhao Xu woke up, Feng Jing came to him and reported: "Everyone, the palace gate was opened early this morning. The left counselor Xian Yulai, the supervisor of the censor Shangguan Jun, the secretary of the Secretariat Zeng Zhao, etc., had all arrived at the Neidong Gate and handed over the letter, begging to meet the two palaces Cisheng and everyone..."

Zhao Xu was not surprised and just laughed.

It is normal to apologize.

It is shocking to not apologize!

So, Zhao Xu asked, "Who is there any future?"

"Su Che, the servant of the Central Secretariat..."

Zhao Xu nodded and sighed: "It's really him!"

Su Che is still too naive and too easy to trust people.

But this is Su Che and Su Ziyou, a person who is easy to believe in others and is easily inspired by some seemingly high-sounding reasons.

This is his strength and weakness.

"What do you say about the grandmother?" Zhao Xu asked.

"The eldest lady is ill and refuses to meet..." Feng Jing replied.

"Where is the queen?"

"The Empress Dowager went to Qingshou Palace to comfort her..." Feng Jing said.

"Oh!" Zhao Xu stood up and ordered: "Let me wash first and have breakfast."

It's time for this scene to come to an end.

It is time to find out the picture and use this farce to set rules!

Since ascending the throne, Zhao Xu's attitude towards the outside world has been humble and kindness.

Whether it is foreign relatives, royal family, civil servants, military officials, or internal officials, he always expresses good intentions to these people most of the time.

This naturally helps to stabilize his status and power.

But……

An emperor who only has kindness but no power will not be respected, and will be beaten by others.

The typical one is Ren Temple...

Thinking about the spits of the civil servants and stings on the faces of Ren Temple, they were personally passed by the imperial guards, and they were killed in front of the bedroom with weapons...

Local soldiers often threaten the court with rebellion and force the court to retreat...

Just thinking about it, Zhao Xu couldn't help but shudder.

What he knows is that rules must be set!

Like this time, based on rumors alone, the fact that the Secretariat dared to pay back the imperial power and granted the ministers a title should never happen again.

You are the servant of the Central Secretariat, and your duty is to write an imperial edict to the emperor!

There must be a legitimate reason for paying back the words!

You are not the censors, you have no power to report the news, and you do not publicly denounce the power of a minister to be controlled without evidence!

...

Zeng Xiaokuan entered calmly from the Neidong Gate.

His eyes swept, and the officials in the green and red robes who were kneeling in front of the inner east gate.

Although he did not show his face, he couldn't help but snorted in his heart.

"I actually want to attack me!" Zeng Xiaokuan thought to himself: "I don't even look at who I am?"

Even if the right prime minister of the current dynasty, Lu Gong, had to shout: Brother Ling Chuo!

"Spring official, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are waiting for you in the Qingshou Palace..." Liang Weijian, who was beside the Empress Dowager, came up with a smile.

"I'm responsible for the squad!" Zeng Xiaokuan bowed.

Because Ye Kangzhi's storm just happened, the two of them didn't say much.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Liang Weijian and Zeng Xiaokuan are not only very familiar with each other, but also have a very good relationship!

This is also the advantage of the children of the priest.

Their father and grandfather left a rich connection, both in the court and in the palace.

Although these connections are not enough to promote these people, there is no problem in ensuring their safety.

Zeng Gongliang has been in the past three dynasties and the connections he left in the palace are no worse than others!

...

Zeng Xiaokuan arrived at Qingbiao Palace.

I happened to pass by Zhang Shangying, secretary-general.

The two passed by the wrong way in front of Dongshanghe Gate in front of Qingshou Palace.

Zhang Shangying stopped slightly and bowed to Zeng Xiaokuan.

It is a very normal etiquette for subordinates to pay homage to superiors.

It was this handover that made Zeng Xiaokuan know that Zhang Shangying had handed over the things to Qingshou Palace.

Zhang Shangying is a backbone of the new party and belongs to the Zhang Dun faction within the new party.

It seems to have nothing to do with him.

but……

Can two new parties be written in one stroke?

What's more, Zhang Shangying's deceased brother Zhang Tangying was at the friendship between Zhiping and Xining and served as the censor in the palace.

Back then, it was Han Jiang's brothers, Zhang Tangying and his father Zeng Gongliang who brought Wang Anshi to the position of political affairs.

The fault is not Zhang Tangying's father. He died in Xining in the fourth year. Zhang Tangying returned to his hometown to observe the rules and died of excessive sorrow that year.

Now the priest in the Song Dynasty must have his place!

With this incense, Zhang Shangying will also help him!

...

Zeng Xiaokuan followed Liang Weijian and walked into the Qingshou Palace from the East Shanghe Gate in front of Qingshou Palace.

The moment he stepped into the hall, his whole expression completely changed.

Even the body posture changed from swaying with his head held high to bend down and bowing.

He looks honest and honest.

Under the guidance of Liang Weijian, he came to the hall and bowed four times to the curtain: "Xiao Kuan, the Minister of Rites, came to see him according to the orders of the two palaces of charity... I respectfully ask the two palaces of charity and saints of charity and sages of charity and sages of charity and sages of charity and sages of charity and sages of charity and sages of charity and sages of charity and sages of charity and sages of charity and sages of charity and sages of charity and sages of charity and sages of charity and sages of charity and sages of charity and sages of charity and sages of charity and sages of charity and sages of charity and sages of charity

"Zeng Aiqing is here!" The Empress Dowager in the curtain was obviously very happy. Even the title of Zeng Xiaokuan changed from Chunguan to the intimate "Aiqing": "Get up quickly!"

"Liang entered politics and gave Zeng Aiqing a seat."

Zeng Xiaokuan thanked him again.

Then he heard the Empress Dowager in the curtain say, "Your Majesty Zeng knows that Zhang Shangying, the secretary, just now, came to see the old man and the Empress Dowager..."

"He brought the original edict of the late emperor to reward Ye Kangzhi..."

"I also brought the documents that Ye Kang was in a wrongful case..."

"It's really shocking!" The Empress Dowager sighed, and her tone was somewhat gritting her teeth!

no way!

She has been really enough in the past few days!

The scholars and officials in the outer court often wrote letters, saying insinuatedly that "the state employs people, and the first one is to recruit talents" and that "the ancestors have never had a "slaves and servants to serve as internal ministers" who are border ministers."

In short, I have to press her head and let her do things according to the intentions of those people.

It seemed that if she didn't listen, the world would be in chaos and the country would perish.

Now, she is proud!

The imperial edicts and command texts sent by Zhang Shangying and those sent by the late emperors who were treasured in Ximing Pavilion will completely reveal the truth!

She appointed Ye Kangzhi, who was given the title, not only was he a villain who was morally corrupt, but also did everything he could do to get rid of his crimes.

But an upright, upright, honest and promising minister!

He performed his duties in the local area and was praised by the people.

As an official in Jingyuan and Shaanxi, he was also responsible for ensuring food and grass.

He is even a gentleman who fights domineering officials and is a determined gentleman!

Such people should be promoted and appointed!

And she has a keen eye for her, is not afraid of the pressure from the outside court, and insists on appointing her, which is also the style of "Yao and Shun, the women of the Song Dynasty".

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager said to Zeng Xiaokuan: "This time, I feel wronged to you!"

"I'll ask those who are catching up on the wind and shadow to spread the word and wrong, and I'll end up injustice for my beloved!"

Zeng Xiaokuan worshiped: "I am a minister of the Ministry of Rites and should set an example and be whipped from all directions."

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she praised him and said, "This is a true minister!"
