Chapter 700 The Unintentional Empress Dowager

Chapter 700

"I will meet your Majesty, and meet the Empress Dowager..." Gao Shize walked into the hall and respectfully bowed to Zhao Xu.

"It's Shize, come in quickly." The Empress Dowager, who was talking to the emperor, turned her head and greeted her very kindly.

"Come here quickly, this time, thanks to your help, otherwise, I would have to spend much effort on this matter." Seeing Gao Shize step into the hall, Zhao Xu couldn't help but have a smile of appreciation on his face.

"I didn't put in much effort, so I just stood up and said a few words to His Majesty." Gao Shize replied in a proper manner.

"If you have the courage to stand up and speak, this is a great achievement. In the world, you and I are still relatives. You don't have to be so tight, sit down quickly." Zhao Xu said helplessly.

Gao Shizexian looked at Gao Taotao, saw Gao Taotao nodding, and then sat down after thanking him.

"Static and cautious, this is your advantage, but you are still young, so you should be more energetic." Gao Taotao also smiled helplessly.

"The Empress teaches you the lesson, I should keep it in mind." Gao Shize replied with a slightly shy smile.

After raising some home-cooked conversations, Gao Shize finally completely relaxed, talking and laughing.

At this time, Zhao Xu couldn't help but say to Gao Shize. "I heard from the emperor's grandmother that you proposed to the emperor's grandmother, and then went to various places to visit and collect evidence, right?"

"I just entered the official position last year. After hearing about the destruction of the Xiang army, I was very worried and begged the Empress for this position. But I didn't expect that the destruction of the Xiang army was far beyond my imagination." Gao Shize nodded and replied.

"I am just a new official in the officialdom, and the methods of visiting are not very innovative, but I can access so much evidence in such a short time. What I involve is a senior official in the court. It is really shocking..."

Zhao Xu's face was also very bad. Not to mention him, Gao Taotao also had a very depressed expression. "The Ai family used to think that they were all ministers of my Song Dynasty. As long as they could work diligently and share the worries of the country, they would turn a blind eye to some things..."

"At that time, Shi Ze entered the officialdom and came to Ai's house to make this request. All Ai's family thought about was to make him have some practical things to do, and he was just in time to exercise, but he never thought that this would be the result."

Seeing the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao's appearance, Zhao Xu, who was already in trouble in politics, quickly changed the topic. "Fortunately, I have been sharing the worries of the court in the world, and your evidence has come too timely.

In addition, you have a good idea for your grandson, otherwise, if you want to find out the final word, I am afraid you won’t know when it will be delayed.”

"The important thing is that you should consider the overall situation of the Song Dynasty and not be tempted and intentional. This is the most magnanimity and mind that a superior needs." Gao Taotao smiled and patted Zhao Xu's big hand, and said with emotion.

Before, after Gao Shi entered the officialdom, the descendants of the Gao family naturally hoped that they could do some practical things like their ancestors and their parents, rather than just wanting to be an official and just to have a meal.

After hearing this idea, Gao Taotao, who was still in charge of the country, was naturally very happy. It was rare that the Gao family had such a talented man who was willing to share the worries of the country.

But what did he do? In the end, Wang Yang happened to be the one who lacked craftsmen in order to build the Imperial Street of Bianliang in Tokyo, and he was making trouble for the Xiang Army to be the laborer.

In addition, someone had reported that the Xiang army was in ruins before, so Gao Taotao sent his nephew to do this. Unexpectedly, the kid would not return once he left. It was not long ago that he felt that he had completed the task and returned to Tokyo Bianliang with dust.

Although Gao Taotao no longer ruled the country from behind the curtain, this guy still honestly asked Gao Taotao to see him and handed the evidence he collected into Gao Taotao's hands.

As a result, Wang Yang proposed to use the wing army as the three states, but the resistance to such a thing must be huge, and it is unlikely that there will be a chance of success.

So, the scheming Empress Dowager slapped her head and found Gao Shize. With this solid evidence, she called Zhao Xu, the emperor who was worried about this matter. After some planning, she finally succeeded in fighting the ministers in one go.

"You did this well. I am very satisfied with it. I have made meritorious service and of course I will be rewarded. Let me tell you what you want to do, whether you are going to continue to be a censor, or as an official who governs the people, or something else." Zhao Xu looked at Gao Shize with a smile and asked affectionately.

"I want to serve under Wang Jingluo." Gao Shize replied without hesitation.

"Oh?" Gao Taotao couldn't help but be stunned. "Shize, are you talking about Wang Yang and Wang Wushan?"

"That's right, the empress has been in office for more than half a year. Although I dare not say that I have experienced a long time, I have been famous for Wang Wushan for a long time, but I have never met you."

"And now, the Song Dynasty has just restored its old land, and all industries in the three states are prospering. It is precisely because of the opportunity to employ people. The weak ministers are willing to recommend themselves and go to Wang Jingluo to do things." Gao Shize said jokingly.

Now, Zhao Xu couldn't help but hesitate to look at Gao Taotao beside him. "Shize, you should know that although the land of the Three States has been owned by my Song Dynasty, it is still full of dangers..."

Gao Shize replied in a deep voice. "I understand, but I think that since I am a minister of the Song Dynasty, the country has something to do. If I am a minister, I don't even have fearlessness. How can I serve my family, country and court?"

"Besides, the Wei minister has a small and humble position. If he stays in the court to do things, he will not learn anything. It is better to follow Wang Jingluo. With Wang Jingluo's talent, Wei ministers will definitely benefit a lot."

"It is really a blessing for my Gao family to have a child like you..." Looking at Gao Shize, who was too tight before, but now after letting go, he was quick-talking and keen-minded, Gao Taotao was really comforted by his old age, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

However, there is more pride and satisfaction in my heart. Although I am the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty, I am still a child of the Gao family. How could I be unhappy and excited to see that the Gao family has such a talent?

"Grandmother of the Emperor, I dare not make decisions about this matter." Zhao Xu saw the Empress Dowager's appearance, and after thinking about it, he smiled helplessly.

"You are the emperor of the Song Dynasty. If you don't make a decision, would you still want me, the old woman who has already removed the curtain, to take the decision?" Unexpectedly, Gao Taotao, who was wet in the corner of his eyes, glared at the pretentious emperor Zhao Xu with a concealment.
