Chapter 973

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, the concubine will definitely cherish it well." The blood fox fur cloak handed over by Xu Degong with a distressed face, with some surprises, quickly thanked the Empress Dowager to the Empress Dowager.

"It's okay, Aijia just wants you, so you can do it yourself..." After Gao Taotao said, he went straight into the inner room and never appeared again.

The Empress Dowager carefully put the surprisingly precious blood fox fur on her body, caressed the extremely soft and moist blood fox fur, thanked Xu Degong again, and then left the Spring and Autumn Palace.

Just wait until she leaves the Spring and Autumn Palace.The smile on his face gradually faded, and sometimes, there was a look of cruel and vicious resentment.

"What the late emperor gave you, if you donate it to the Ai family, then it belongs to the Ai family. You are generous and magnanimous. That's because no one competes with you. The first emperor was your own, and now the official family is yours." My grandson, of course you are towards him."

Taking a deep breath, he looked back at the tall and majestic Spring and Autumn Palace for a long time before boarding the car and leaving.

"What was Xiang's reaction?" Xu Degong respectfully sent the Empress Dowager Xiang outside the Spring and Autumn Palace before turning around.When he stepped into the room, the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao had appeared next to the copper stove again, wearing the pair of silver-rimmed glasses, and looked towards Xu Degong.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager just asked about the physical condition of the servant girl, and didn't say much. It's just that she stayed outside the gate of the Spring and Autumn Palace for a long time before leaving..." Xu Degong hurriedly counted everything he knew Come on.

"She has resentment in her heart, and Aijia knows this, but she doesn't think about it carefully, what kind of attitude should she use to face the current official family, which has caused the relationship between her and the official family. The relationship between them is becoming more and more tense.”

"The officials have always hoped that his biological mother can also be promoted to the empress dowager. The reason why the Ai family has been blocking it in the past is not only because of her, but also because, if the officials do so, it is easy to get back together with the court officials. strife."

"But right now, under the guidance of the officials, my Great Song Dynasty is gaining more and more prestige, which also makes His Majesty's voice more and more weighty. Now, Xixia has been fragmented, and the Liao Dynasty who has always despised my Great Song Yingwei country, and no longer dare to treat me, Great Song, as lightly."

"At this point, if you go to be a villain again, what's the benefit? Why can't she figure it out?"

"Your Majesty, you are a rare and wise person in the world. You can see clearly, but it doesn't mean that other people can be like you..." Xu Degong said cautiously.

"If it weren't for the fact that she was the late emperor's main empress, why would the Ai family have to persuade her again and again, but from this point of view, it would be useless to say more." Gao Taotao sighed leisurely.

"Then I won't talk about Aijia, let her go, each has its own fate..."

On the second day, Zhu Guangting's memorial to the elderly was handed over to the emperor's imperial case again, and the emperor issued an edict to the courtiers to refute it.

But the emperor's attitude has already made the old party's important officials look ugly, and also made the new party's ministers and workers celebrate with each other, and began to eagerly try for the position of Guozijian Jijiu.

"Master..." Zhu Guangting's butler appeared outside the study door again, looking anxiously at the study, where Zhu Guangting, who was practicing calligraphy, called cautiously in a low voice.

"Someone is here again, right? Didn't the old man say that? No matter who it is, the old man will disappear." Zhu Guangting continued to scribble without raising his head.

The housekeeper looked at Zhu Guangting longingly for a long time. Seeing his indifferent expression, he sighed helplessly and turned to leave.

Only then did Zhu Guangting raise his head. Hearing the sound of footsteps that were fading away, he couldn't help but sighed deeply, and continued to pick up the pen and land on the paper again.

When the butler appeared again in the afternoon, Zhu Guangting was about to yell impatiently when he heard the butler say. "Master, this is Mr. Liu. Do you want to see him or not?"

"Liu Xiang, why is he here..." Zhu Guangting couldn't help being stunned. After thinking about it for a while, he asked the housekeeper to entertain Liu Zhi to the front hall, and after tidying up quickly, he hurried to the front hall.

"Brother Guangting, I'm afraid these two days will be difficult?" After seeing Zhu Guangting, Liu Zhi stood up and said to Zhu Guangting with a smile.

"Does it need to be said, when I think that I am about to change from a third-rank official in the court to an idle commoner without a job, the gap in my heart is quite big..." Old friend, Zhu Guangting does not shy away from it.

"Brother, you clearly know that my little brother, I will stay behind closed doors for a few days, just want to keep a leisurely life, and don't want people to see me like this, why do you want to come in at this time?"

Regarding Zhu Guangting's half-truth and half-false accusation, Liu Zhi smiled heartily. "The old man came here because he cared about his old friends, so he came to see him specially. Secondly, he was entrusted by his colleagues, so he still had to come and visit him."

"Who told you to stay behind closed doors for the past few days, and you didn't see anyone. It's all on the old man. Can the old man not come?"

After hearing this explanation, Zhu Guangting was helpless. "Then thank you Liu Xiang for visiting the lower officials."

"Haha, you, don't talk to the old man at this time, and sit down, the old man has something, I really want to discuss it with you..."

#####
"Now, since you have made up your mind to go, I'm afraid His Majesty will allow you to take up the post in a few days, but have you considered carefully, who will take over your position after you leave the court?" Liu Zhi turned serious. Zhu Guangting asked.

Zhu Guangting was taken aback for a moment, and after pondering for a long time, he said hesitantly. "How about letting Master Jia take over the old man's position?"

"How is Wang Yansou?"

"Inappropriate, Wang Yansou is now a direct bachelor of the Privy Council, and he is in charge of the confidential affairs of the Privy Council, so don't touch it lightly..." After thinking about it for a while, Liu Zhi rejected Zhu Guangting's proposal.

Afterwards, whether it was Liu Zhi or Zhu Guangting himself, they each proposed a few candidates, but they were all rejected in the end, not because of lack of ability, but because some people's positions were originally very important. What kind of people should be found to fill the gap is a headache.

In the end, after thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel a little painful that there are really very few people around me who are really available.

"What should I do?" Zhu Guangting couldn't help but tapped his head with some headaches. "Guozijian Jijiu, this position must not fall into the hands of the new party at this time."

"That's right. Now the new party is eager to try it out. Yesterday and today, they couldn't wait to show their abilities to His Majesty. Hehe, isn't it just thinking that when you leave, they can take this seat?"

"However, since you took the initiative to take up the post, whether it is sincere or false, His Majesty will eventually ask your opinion on who should take over. So now, we'd better come up with a suitable candidate as soon as possible. Choose someone.”
