Chapter 714 Whatever Your Majesty Wants To Do, Just Do It (Part [-])
Chapter 723

However, in terms of the influence of the Empress Dowager on the Song Dynasty, His Majesty will listen to some of her words after all. What's more, His Majesty has left the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and ignored them in the court. It really makes people feel uncomfortable.

"Why are the officials here? At this time, shouldn't you be in court?" Gao Taotao, who had just woken up and was having a delicate and light breakfast after washing up, looked at the man who stepped into the Spring and Autumn Period in astonishment. Zhao Xu, the emperor of the palace.

Naturally, she could also tell that the emperor must be in a very bad mood at the moment, and it could even be described as being angry. In the past, no matter how big the troubles were with the officials, they would never be so obvious.

"Grandson is visiting the emperor's grandmother. Here, grandson has received a joint memorial from Su Xueshi, the appeasement envoy of Shaanxi Road Economic Strategy, and Wang Yang, the appeasement envoy of Yan, You, and Hong Jinglue. Please take a look, grandma..." After the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao saluted, Zhao Xu took a deep breath to control his temper, and carefully placed the memorial that he held tightly in his hand on the table in front of Gao Taotao.

"Is there something wrong with Shaanxi Road?!" Gao Taotao's voice involuntarily raised his voice a few notches, and the hand that was about to pick up the memorial trembled slightly, and finally pressed it lightly on the cover of the memorial . "There is still a problem in the land of the three states."

"Emperor Grandmother, you are wrong. It's not about Shaanxi Road and Sanzhou, but about the results of the interrogation of the smuggling salt merchants 780 who were arrested after the Song Dynasty recaptured Yanzhou. You, see for yourself..." Zhao Xu quickly shook his head and explained the situation.

"They, how could they be like this, simply, they are simply a bunch of unfaithful, disloyal, unfilial bastards..." Gao Taotao opened the thick memorial, saw Su Dongpo's familiar handwriting, and saw the memorial clearly. After the shocking content inside, even Lao Chi, who was as heavy as her, couldn't help but change his face and yelled out loudly.

After hearing Gao Taotao's comments about those guys, Zhao Xu's anger seemed to be shared and he calmed down. "Royal Grandma, please calm down. Your health is important. Don't let your anger break your body."

"They really went too far. The Ai family never thought that the court treated them so well, and they could actually do such a treasonous thing. They are simply unheard of heartless and unjust." Gao Tao was still angry. Xiaodi cursed a few more times and then gradually calmed down.

"That's right, grandson didn't expect that they were not only smuggling materials like salt and iron, but someone actually sold our military secrets of the Great Song Dynasty... Grandson, do you think grandson can't get angry?" Zhao Xu spit He took a breath, looking so bleak and helpless.

Just when the grandfather and grandson were complaining about the forces behind those smuggling merchants, a young eunuch appeared at the gate of the palace, and Gao Taotao called him in. "what happened?"

"Your Majesty, Liu Xiang asked his servants to come and ask why, why the official family put all the civil and military affairs in the court hall..." the little eunuch looked at the emperor whose anger was still lingering, and replied cautiously.

"The Ai family knows, you step back, and your majesty will go back in a while, and you let them wait obediently." Naturally, Gao Taotao didn't mean to anger the little eunuch, and after a few simple instructions, by Watching the little eunuch leave with a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, no matter what you want to do, just do it. You are the emperor of the Song Dynasty. Sometimes, although you can't be too free of your own temper, when you have time, you should let the world know the authority of the emperor. , It's not just a threat." Gao Taotao said with a gloomy face, gently shook the hand of the young emperor Zhao Xu, and said in a deep voice.

"Imperial Grandmother..." Zhao Xu couldn't help being stunned. Originally, he thought that no matter how much anger and aggrieved Imperial Grandmother had, she would definitely endure it for the sake of the stability of the court. At most, she would kill chickens and respect monkeys That's all.

But he never expected that the angry grandmother's intentions were even more radical than her own.According to Zhao Xu's own thinking, at most, he would use nearly one-third of them to kill chickens and respect monkeys, and then the rest would be demoted, reprimanded, or fined, just beat them.

"The Ai family knows what you are thinking. Perhaps, the Song Dynasty has been in peace for too long. Since Emperor Renzong, the Song Dynasty has no ambition to forge ahead. And over the years, the Ai family has really gone too far. I indulge them so much that they think that betrayal, disloyalty, and filial piety are commonplace.”

"If this goes on like this, I'm afraid that in their hearts, even the way of monarch and minister will be completely forgotten." Gao Taotao took a breath and said with emotion.

Zhao Xu also nodded with deep understanding. "My grandson obeys the order of the imperial grandmother." Then, Zhao Xu hurried away, while Gao Taotao sighed tiredly and leaned on the couch, without any appetite.

"Your Majesty, if you persuade Your Majesty like this, will you..."

"What will happen? Will many people die?" Gao Taotao raised his gray brows and asked. "Don't forget, the official's most admired is his father, and his father is not an emperor who killed indiscriminately. Neither will he."

"As for me letting him go ahead and do it, in fact, it will be far more effective than Aijia stopping him. In this way, he will weigh and consider how to handle the matter more perfectly and how to do it. It not only stabilizes the situation of the government, but also can subdue the world..."

"The important thing is that the ambition of the official family should be comparable to that of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong of the Great Song Dynasty. Of course, there needs to be a good opportunity to establish prestige and trust, and now is exactly this good opportunity."

When Xu Degong heard this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong of the Great Song Dynasty had obvious consciousness. The two emperors at that time were determined to forge ahead and determined to take back the sixteen prefectures of Youyan to restore the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Although they all failed, the Song Dynasty at that time was worthy of founding a country. Although the army was strong, the national power was not strong.

But today's Great Song Dynasty, in terms of national strength and wealth alone, even if the three Great Liao Kingdoms are placed together, they can only follow behind and eat ashes.

At such a time, if Zhao Xu really has such ambitions, plus...Wang Wushan, who is no less talented than Xiao He, and whose wisdom and vision are no less than Zhang Liang's, the pillar of the country, I am afraid that he may really be able to recover The possibility of light Tang old soil.

why?It's very simple, just take a look at Xixia, who is about to change from a vicious wolf to a bereaved dog in less than half a year, and you can see that Wang's ability is still so great. The spirit of the Song army.
