Chapter 313 The political legacy left by the father (third update)
Chapter 311

Zhao Xu raised his head and saw Zhao Ji walking into the hall, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

"Eleventh Lang is here again, haha, you kid, you used to not enter the palace once for ten days and a half months, but now that you're here, you can see you coming for a stroll almost every day, don't you think about coming to the palace again? Brother, let me shake my head here and go to the Queen Mother's side?"

"My younger brother has seen the official family. My younger brother came here today not only to greet the official family, but also because I want to ask the official family for help." Zhao Ji smiled a little embarrassedly and then looked at Zhao Xu said.

"Let's see." Zhao Xu put down the pen he was practicing calligraphy, picked up the dragon and phoenix tea on the table, and sipped it.

"You, the officials, know that my brother took part in the imperial examination under a pseudonym. But now, there is a censor who wants to use this matter to impeach me. My brother is frightened, so I came here to explain something to the officials. …”

"Someone wants to impeach you?" Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly. "Those guys from Yushitai like to bite randomly. If that's the case, then that's it. Anyway, Shishilang, your participation in the imperial examination is just a game."

Seeing Zhao Xu's nonchalant expression as he casually said, it really did not exceed Mr. Wu Shan's expectations, and Zhao Ji's admiration for Wang Yang increased even more in his heart.

As if sensing Zhao Ji's silence, Zhao Xu turned his head to look at Zhao Ji and asked. "What's wrong?"

"Officials, actually...actually, my younger brother's participation in the imperial examination is not just a game to satisfy my little vanity." Zhao Ji raised his head and looked at Zhao Xu seriously.

"Oh? Then I have to listen carefully." Zhao Xu looked at Zhao Ji thoughtfully, smiled after a long time, and raised his hand to signal Zhao Ji to continue.

"My brother misses my father..." After Zhao Ji hesitated for a long time, he raised his head and looked straight at Zhao Xu. The first sentence made Zhao Xu's nose sore.

"So my younger brother must take part in this imperial examination. I hope that the spirit of the emperor in heaven can see that the new law between him and Mr. Anshi is still in progress. As his heir, my younger brother has not shamed him. I am willing to serve the clans of the Song Dynasty." Let the children set an example and role model..."

Zhao Xu stared blankly at the eleventh brother who was talking faster and louder, his face was flushed, but he didn't show any timidity or retreat.

At this time, Zhao Xu seemed to have realized that according to the Taizong system, the children of the clan were not allowed to engage in anything or participate in the imperial examinations. However, it was not until his father came to power and Mr. Anshi's reform that the clan rules established by Emperor Taizong were finally implemented. Abolition.

And when the father passed away, the new law was completely abolished, and even the ancestral rules set by the Emperor Taizong, some people once asked to restore the old view.But it seems that before this regulation, the old party did not have a completely unified voice and will.

Or they can all see that it is only the clan of the Song Dynasty whose interests have been touched, and another important reason is that the clan's children other than the five clothes are no longer supported by the court, so that the court can save a lot of money. Small expenses, this is the reason for the disputes within the old party, which eventually led to the restoration of the old law and the reason why this Taizong rule was shelved.

Only at this moment did Zhao Xu come to his senses. He never imagined that not all the political legacy left by his father would be wiped out by the officials of the old party. In addition, it turned out that such a new law continued to exist.

#####
"So that's how it is..." Looking at Zhao Ji who was full of displeasure, Zhao Xu suddenly felt a little guilty and patted his forehead. "It seems that Brother Wei blamed you by mistake. Sit down quickly and wait for Brother Wei to think about it."

"Since this is a new law that is rarely abolished by the old party, what does this prove? Doesn't it prove that the father and Mr. An Shi are right? It's just that other new laws have touched their interests. That's why they repeat it so strongly." Zhao Xu touched his chin and murmured leisurely.

"Officials, what should I do, I should ask the official to come up with an idea." Looking at this ninth brother who is far more familiar in heart than appearance, Zhao Ji is eager to get an answer.

"Just go ahead and take the provincial examination. It doesn't matter. Even if they really impeach you, so what?" After saying this, Zhao Xu's spine straightened suddenly. "Back then, my father and Mr. Anshi were determined to forge ahead for the future of the Song Dynasty. It can be said that they were hindered by others at every turn, but didn't they accomplish a lot of things?"

"Now that my father is gone, Ninth Brother and I can't be pro-political. At this time, we need brothers to join forces." Having said this, Zhao Xu raised his hand and patted Zhao Ji's somewhat thin shoulder. Said solemnly.

"Don't worry, the official, my younger brother will definitely not disappoint you, and I will definitely pass the exam well. May the father and emperor in heaven bless my younger brother to go to high school." Zhao Ji couldn't help being ecstatic after receiving Zhao Xu's promise. After a long time, he finally restrained himself With the joy in my heart, I bid farewell and left.

After seeing Zhao Ji disappear outside the main hall, Zhao Xu rubbed his eyebrows and couldn't help but sigh.Although Shishiro is still out of his mind, his personality has finally changed. Compared with the boring otaku who only knew chess, music, calligraphy and painting all day long.

Now he has at least gradually understood what responsibility and responsibility are.And all of this is naturally inseparable from the teaching of my elder brother. Of course, it must also have a great relationship with Wang Wushan.

But now, after many battles of wits and courage with those old party officials, Zhao Xu, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, knows more and more how to fight those officials, and will not be like in the past, It will only be irritated to cover up reason, but forget the interests and goals that you should strive for.

Sitting on the couch, Zhao Xu didn't touch the pen, but began to carefully calculate, if those guys really impeach Shi Shilang, how should he deal with it.

After thinking hard for a long time, Zhao Xu found that there was no conflict that could be reconciled between himself and the party officials. However, Zhao Xu soon woke up with a relieved smile on his face. "...how did I forget the Empress Dowager?"

"Come here, set up the Spring and Autumn Palace, I'm going to greet the emperor's grandmother..." Zhao Xu greeted, and the dozens of eunuchs and court ladies around him immediately became busy, and they drove towards the empress dowager in a short time Go in the direction of the Spring and Autumn Palace where Gao Taotao is.

Gao Taotao originally thought that Zhao Xu just came over to shake his head in order to fulfill his grandson's responsibilities, but he never thought that after Zhao Xu paid his respects, he would actually directly ask about the principles he had set for Taizong. regular view.

This really made Gao Taotao come to his senses after a long time. He put down the ink pen in his hand for correcting the memorial and looked at the calm-looking Zhao Xu in front of him, full of doubts in his heart.

He really didn't understand what his grandson was planning, but Gao Taotao did not directly ignore Zhao Xu's words.

"What do the officials mean by this? The Ai family doesn't quite understand..." How could the wily Gao Taotao express his attitude so easily, not to mention that she still couldn't figure out the emperor's path for a while.
