Chapter 691 The Unintentional Empress Dowager (Second Change)
Chapter 700

"I refer to Your Majesty, to the Empress Dowager..." Gao Shi stepped into the hall and saluted Zhao Xu respectfully.

"It's the rule of the world, come in quickly." The empress dowager who was talking to the emperor turned her head and greeted very kindly.

"Come here quickly, this time, thanks to your help, otherwise, I don't know how much effort I will have to spend on this matter." Seeing Gao Shi stepping into the palace, Zhao Xu's face couldn't help but grow a bit more Appreciative smile.

"I didn't put in much effort, I just stood up and said a few words from your Majesty." Gao Shize replied with a dignified appearance.

"It's a great achievement for you to have the courage to stand up and speak out. Shi Ze, you and I are still relatives, so don't be so tight. Sit down." Zhao Xu said helplessly.

Gao Shixian glanced at Gao Taotao, saw Gao Taotao nod his head as a signal, thanked him and sat down.

"Prudence and prudence are your strengths, but you are still young, so you should be more energetic." Gao Taotao also smiled helplessly.

"Your Majesty taught me the lesson, I should keep it in mind." Gao Shize replied with a slightly shy smile.

After chatting some more homely words, Gao Shi finally relaxed completely, talking and laughing.

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

"My minister just became an official last year. Hearing about the corruption of the Xiang army, he was very worried, so he begged his wife for the post, but he didn't expect that the corruption of the Xiang army was far beyond what I imagined." Gao Shi pointed out. He nodded and answered.

"The minister is just a newcomer in the officialdom, and the methods of investigation are not very innovative, but they are able to investigate so much evidence in such a short period of time. It is shocking that the person involved is actually a court official..."

Zhao Xu's face was also very sad when he heard it, not to mention him, Gao Taotao also had a very depressed expression. "When the Ai family passed by, I always thought that they were all my courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty. As long as they can work hard and share the country's worries, they should turn a blind eye to some things..."

"At that time, Shi Ze became an official and came to Aijia to make this request. At that time, Aijia only thought of letting him do some practical work, just to exercise, but he never thought that this would be the result."

#####
Seeing the appearance of the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao, Zhao Xu, who was already struggling with politics, quickly changed the topic. "Fortunately, You Shi shared the worries of the court, and your evidence came too timely.

In addition, Grandmother, you have given your grandson a good idea. Otherwise, if you want to find out about this matter, you don't know when it will be delayed. "

"The important thing is that officials, you consider the overall situation of the Song Dynasty, and you don't want to be arrogant. This is the kindness and mind that a superior needs most." Gao Taotao patted Zhao Xu's big hand with a smile, and said with emotion .

Previously, after Gao Shize became an official, this descendant of the Gao family naturally hoped that he could do some practical things like his grandparents and fathers, instead of just wanting to be an official just to eat.

After Gao Taotao, who was still behind the curtain listening to politics at the time, heard about such an idea, he was naturally very happy. It was rare for the Gao family to have such a talented person who was willing to share the country's worries.

But what to make him do?In the end, it just so happened that Wang Yang's guy happened to be making a fuss about using Xiang troops as labor because of the lack of craftsmen in building Bianliang Imperial Street in Tokyo.

In addition, someone had reported before that Xiang Jun was corrupt, so Gao Taotao sent this nephew to do this, but he didn't expect that this kid would never come back. It wasn't until not long ago that he felt that After completing the task, he returned to Bianliang, Tokyo in a flurry of dust.

Although Gao Taotao no longer listened to the government behind the curtain, this guy honestly begged to see Gao Taotao, and handed over the evidence he had collected to Gao Taotao's hands.

As a result, here, that boy Wang Yang proposed to fill the three states with the Xiang Army, but such a matter will inevitably encounter huge resistance, and it may be difficult to succeed.

So, the scheming empress dowager slapped her head and called Gao Shize. With this solid evidence, she called the emperor Zhao Xu who was worrying about this matter. After the planning, the frontal and tough group of officials succeeded in one go.

"I am very satisfied that you have done a good job in this matter. Of course you will be rewarded for your meritorious service. Tell me what you are going to do, whether you are going to continue to be a censor, or become an official who governs the people, or something else." Zhao Xu looked at Gao Shi with a smile and asked kindly.

"My minister, I would like to serve under Wang Jinglue." Gao Shize replied without any hesitation.

"Oh?" Gao Taotao couldn't help being a little stunned. "Shi Ze, are you talking about Wang Yang Wang Wushan?"

"Exactly, it has been more than half a year since I became an official. Although I dare not say that it has been a long time, I have heard of Wang Wushan for a long time, but I have not been able to meet him."

"And now, the Song Dynasty has just returned to the old land, and all industries in the three states are booming. It is an opportunity to employ people. This minister is willing to recommend himself to work under Wang Jinglue's command." Gao Shi said eloquently.

Now, Zhao Xu couldn't help but cast a hesitant glance at Gao Taotao beside him. "Shi Ze, you should know that although the land of the Three States has been occupied by our Great Song Dynasty, it is still in danger..."

Gao Shi replied in a deep voice. "I understand, but I just think that if you are a Song official and the country has something to do, if you are a minister, you don't even have the heart of fear, so how can you serve your family and the country?"

"Besides, a humble official has a small and humble position. If he stays in the court to do things, he won't learn much. It's better to follow Wang Jinglue's side. With Wang Jinglue's great talent, the humble official will definitely benefit a lot."

"It's really a blessing for my Gao family to have a child like you..." Looking at this Gao Shi who was tense before, but now after letting go, he is articulate and quick-witted. Otherwise, Gao Taotao was really comforted by his old age, and his eyes could not help but flush slightly.

But what is more in my heart is a sense of pride and satisfaction. Although I am the Empress Dowager of the Great Song Dynasty, I am still a child of the Gao family. Seeing that the Gao family has such a talent, how can I not be happy and excited?
"Imperial Grandmother, I dare not decide this matter." Zhao Xu smiled helplessly after seeing the appearance of the Empress Dowager.

"You are the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. If you don't make the decision, why don't you want me, the old woman who has already withdrawn the curtain, to make the decision?" Gao Taotao, who concealed and wiped away the wet corners of his eyes, glared at the pretending emperor reproachfully. Zhao Xu took a look.

"He, Gao Shize, is a subject of our Great Song Dynasty. As the king of Song Dynasty, of course, his future and destiny are up to you to decide." Gao Taotao patted Gao Shize's shoulder with some reluctance. Then he turned his head towards Zhao Xu with some difficulty.
