Chapter 635 Humming a song "Coolness" for eternity (second update)
Chapter 644

However, when they stepped into the Spring and Autumn Palace and saw the scene where the Empress Dowager and Zhao Xu, who was about to take over the throne yesterday, were chatting and bragging together affectionately, everyone's footsteps couldn't help but stagnate.

"Hey, all the gentlemen are here, why are you all staring blankly, why don't you come in quickly, it's a cold day, if you fall ill, it will be a big loss for the court..." Zhao Xu raised his head and saw these The ministers who were stunned at the door greeted him with a very friendly smile.

With a flattering smile on his face, MMP roared one after another in his heart.The ministers who had always been at odds with Zhao Xu, the young emperor, could only walk into the palace with a forced smile at this moment, and greeted the empress dowager and the emperor.

"My dear family, these days, Ai's old eyesight is dim, and his heart disease is getting heavier and heavier. Every time he goes to court, he needs to rest in peace...Since all of you are here today, there must be something important..." Before that, he laughed The Yingying Empress Dowager seemed a little weak at the moment.

Seeing this scene, seeing the old and frail empress dowager, and the young and vigorous emperor, these important court officials have so many words in their hearts to persuade the empress dowager to continue to hold power and listen to politics behind the curtain. There is no way to say it.

But Liu Zhi turned his head and looked at the colleagues around him. There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and there was still a little bit of contempt. National community?

Now that the empress dowager is here, why, can one or two be coaxed in seconds?

These ministers look at me, I look at you, no one wants to be the first bird in front of the emperor Zhao Xu at this time. When it's over, you can hum a song "Coolness" and sing it forever.

"The minister has important matters to play!" In the end, Liu Anshi, who was known as the tiger in the palace and known to the world for his direct remonstrance, all ordered Liu Anshi to stand up.

"I don't know what the Liu Qing family wants to play?" The empress dowager Gao Taotao smiled casually, but the smile seemed so meaningful, and her wrinkled hands gently patted the big hand of the young emperor Zhao Xu beside her. .

Zhao Xu understood what the emperor's grandmother meant, and quietly nodded towards Gao Taotao. He also wanted to see what kind of things this Liu Anshi, known as the tiger in the palace, could say.

"I think, Empress Dowager, you have listened to the government behind the curtain. Over the years, our Great Song Dynasty has become more and more prosperous, all industries have flourished, the people have been able to live and work in peace and contentment, and the border has been peaceful. It can be seen that my Da Song is thriving now..."

"Nowadays, in the battle of Hongdezhai, although the Song Dynasty won the battle, there will inevitably be long-term entanglements with Xixia. It is precisely the need for an old and prudent ruler to grasp the measure. The old minister thinks that at this moment At this critical moment, your Majesty, you seem to be a little hasty in withdrawing the curtain so hastily." Liu Anshi said loudly and openly.

He didn't say a word about the present day, but only talked about politics, as if he was really a loyal minister who only cared about the country and society of the Song Dynasty.

"Is that why you came here to see him today?" Gao Taotao said indifferently, and his lazy eyes became sharp again, scanning the group of court officials in front of him one by one.

"What about you? Do you think the same as Liu Qing?" Gao Taotao spoke after his eyes fell on Liu Anshi again.

"Wait, we do have such thoughts..." Zhu Guangting bit the bullet and took a step forward cautiously. "It's not that I don't want Your Majesty to be in charge of the court. It's just that my Song Dynasty is at a critical juncture with Xixia. At this time of crisis, you suddenly withdraw the curtain and go away. It's a bit..."

"I think so too." Now that someone started, adhering to the idea that the law does not blame the public, these ministers began to stand up one after another, expressing similar thoughts and ideas.

The general idea is that although the Song Dynasty was very peaceful, although Xixia retreated to the territory after experiencing this big defeat.However, Xixia is my great rival in the Song Dynasty after all.

Now that the Empress Dowager and many officials and generals who have captured Xixia, it is time to carefully consider the next step. The Empress Dowager is about to let go of your hands. This is reasonable and we all express our opposition.

Of course, we are not opposed to His Majesty's personal administration, but we just hope that this time will be delayed a little bit until the war between Xixia and my Great Song is over.

"It's hard for you to think of such a reason." After everyone finished speaking, Gao Taotao said such a meaningful sentence.

However, no one spoke up at this time. After all, the old driver, the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao, was not blind, as long as he used his brain, he could guess their intentions.

"Liu Zhi, what about you?"

Liu Zhi, who had been silent just now, first saluted the Empress Dowager before answering. "Your Majesty, this minister actually thinks the same way. However, if your Majesty is sure that His Majesty has the ability to take charge of the Great Song Dynasty's country and society, I will naturally assist His Majesty with all my strength and continue the charter you have planned to make our Great Song Dynasty Can take it to the next level…”

"It's rare that Liu Qing has a heart. It's really a blessing for Da Song to have a minister like you." Gao Taotao showed a faint smile, and after pondering for a while, he continued to meet the twenty-somethings. Shuangman said with apprehensive eyes.

"The Ai family already understands the master of the princes. If this is the case, let the Ai family think about it again. Well, the Ai family is a little tired, and the Qing family should go back quickly, so as not to delay the government affairs of the various yamen. yes."

Hearing that Gao Taotao had already issued an order to evict guests, this group of ministers still had people who were unwilling to say something. At this time, the emperor Zhao Xu stood up, his face was sinking like water, and his eyes were like knives. It fell on those officials who were eager to try.

"Gentlemen, are you the imperial grandmother who wants to get sick?" As soon as Zhao Xu said this, all the officials who were about to speak or were about to speak subconsciously closed their mouths.

Offending the emperor is one thing, but if the empress dowager, who is getting older and in poor health, suffers from some kind of illness, then all the previous efforts to prevent Zhao Xu from hearing the government will be turned into nothing. A big joke.

"The minister will leave first, and please take care of yourself..." Liu Zhi once again stood up to speak as a representative, and then urged those unwilling ministers to leave together.
