Since ancient times, talented people have been born in the Red Chamber

Chapter 466: No one in the Ai family can describe these words... (Second update)
Chapter 465

"The fact that my grandson is able to win such a high-ranking minister is really the blessing of my ancestors. My grandson will definitely do better than my father, so that I can restore the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties to the Great Song Dynasty." Hearing these words, Zhao Xu, He couldn't help but replied generously with his eyes shining.

The Meng girl next to her looked at the energetic young man, her eyes full of love as sweet as honey. When Gao Taotao heard this, he wanted to say something, but when he saw Zhao Xu That excited face.

He also recalled that when Su Dongpo met with him two days ago, he praised Wang Yang both implicitly and externally, compared to Wang Anshi, who had a strong and easy-going personality.Whether Wang Yang is doing things or planning things, he seems to have a faint sense of everyone's style.

Moreover, from Gao Taotao's point of view, even though Wang Yang is now so trusted by the emperor and favored by himself, he has never said anything about reform, but his every move is born with a certain meaning. A fresh and icy trend.

Involuntarily, it leads you to make changes bit by bit.Even when you realize the benefits of these methods, you realize that his behavior has deviated from the past ancestral family law.

For example, before, there was a censor who impeached Wang Yang for privately casting armor.After all, armor was a very strictly regulated item in the Song Dynasty, and armor workshops that were not ordered by the court were not allowed to make armor. Violation of this regulation should be punished as a felony.

However, after seeing the firmness and strength of Song Yuan Youjia, as well as its high quality and low price, Gao Taotao directly suppressed the impeachment memorials of those eventful censors.

But at this time, Gao Taotao was also surprised to find that whether it was the soldiers who paved the roads, or the craftsmen in the armory workshop who proposed to abolish all the roads, these seemed to be inconsistent with the ancestral system, but the problem is, you And he has to be right, and you can't find any reason to object at all.

Now, this kid is only old, but only weak crown age, I am afraid that there will be a few more years...

Thinking of this, Gao Taotao couldn't help feeling a little curiosity, expectation, and even guessing in his heart.If back then, Emperor Shenzong was not surrounded by Mr. Anshi, but this Wang Wushan, I am afraid that the reform of the Great Song Dynasty might not have caused such a fierce conflict...

And the reason why I strongly opposed the reform was not because those many reforms were harmful to the country and the people. Therefore, after the death of Emperor Shenzong, at the beginning of the curtain, I appointed Sima Guang as Prime Minister to eliminate the new laws.

As a result, the people praised it, and the officials were all happy. However, instead of getting better and better as they imagined, the Song Dynasty became increasingly weak.

This made Gao Taotao anxious, but there was nothing he could do. Reforming the law was wrong, but not changing the law made it even more difficult for the court.

At this time, Gao Taotao couldn't help but think of Wang Yang standing in the hall with his head held high during the palace examination in the past, and the energetic words in "Young China Theory"...

"Royal Grandma, what's wrong with you..." At this moment, a nervous voice suddenly sounded in his ears.Gao Taotao turned his head and looked over, seeing Zhao Xu's face that was a bit confused and nervous.

"Grandson just wanted to say goodbye to you, but you didn't respond after calling you several times. Could it be that your grandmother is not feeling well?"

"It's okay, just now I was just a little bit in a trance for a while, you go to the official, and let Yaoniang stay with me, this old woman, how about?" Gao Taotao shook his head with a smile, and his eyes fell on Said from Meng Yaoniang's body.

"Since your old man is happy, then Yaoniang, you should stay with the imperial grandmother well, and the grandson can leave..." Seeing that Gao Taotao didn't want to say more, Zhao Xu didn't ask, but just told Meng Yaoniang After a sound, he turned and left.

#####
Looking at the back of Zhao Xu who was drifting away, Gao Taotao suddenly opened his mouth, and Meng Yaoniang beside him was horrified by what he said.

"The official family is becoming more and more like the first emperor, but the temper is really a little anxious, but fortunately...with the help of a unparalleled national scholar like Wang Wushan, the Ai family sometimes really wants to take a rest , look at what this Great Song Dynasty can look like..."

Meng Yaoniang stared blankly at the Empress Dowager in front of her, she never thought that she would be beside the Empress Dowager and hear such words.

Gao Taotao was emotional for a long time, seeing that Meng Yaoniang still looked shocked, he couldn't help smiling, stretched out his no longer young hand, and gently held Meng Yaoniang's delicate and smooth catkin. "These words, no one in Aijia can say, and I can only let you listen..."

"Niangniang..." Meng Yaoniang was flattered and wanted to prostrate herself to the ground, but Gao Taotao gently held her down. "In a few days, you should be called the old grandmother. Since you are a family, you should not show your identity too much."

"Yes..." Meng Yaoniang's pretty face couldn't help but blushed slightly, she glanced around subconsciously, only then noticed that the eunuchs had already retreated far away, and Zhao Xu's figure had long since disappeared .

Only Xu Degong, the confidant of the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao, stood beside her, without the slightest expression on her face, as if she had heard nothing and knew nothing.

It's just that Xu Degong's heart has already set off turbulent waves at this moment. He never thought that the firm backing of the old party, the strongest position in Song Dynasty against the reform, would have such thoughts.

You must know that when Emperor Shenzong reformed, this old lady was quite angry, and the reason why Emperor Shenzong repeated after that was a lot of credit for the empress dowager's persuasion.

But now, her attitude has shown signs of wavering. Now, the problem is really too difficult.

After the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao was resting, Xu Degong personally sent Meng Yaoniang to the Spring and Autumn Palace, and then recruited a confidant eunuch, and gave orders in a low voice.

The little eunuch nodded understandingly and walked away quickly. About half an hour later, the little eunuch had already changed into a servant's clothes, left the palace, and headed towards the folk house.

Shangshu Youpushe Liu Zhi stared blankly at the small piece of paper in his hand, in front of him were Zhao Tingzhi, who had already been dismissed from office, and Zhu Guangting.

"Liu Xiang, we have to figure this matter out quickly, and how we should proceed. Otherwise, if the Empress Dowager really thinks about it, then our hard work over the years will be in vain." Zhu Guangting stared fixedly at it. Liu Zhi who was in front of him said.

"How could this be..." Liu Zhi stood up, but still held the small note with words in his hand, his face full of disbelief.

"The Empress Dowager is definitely not someone who loves and admires. Otherwise, when the late emperor was in power, she had always opposed the new law. Even if the relationship with the late emperor was quite tense, she would not change her mind."

"Since the late emperor passed away, it was the empress dowager who chased all the traitors in the court and gave me back the great Song Dynasty."
