Return to the Song Dynasty

So in the next period of time, all the men in the Ma family will receive various "care" from the head of the house.Ma Yun spoke first: "Madam, why did you put away my pair of Eryu Qilin paperweights for me? I can't handle other paperweights." Mrs. Ma: "Yo, you know it's not easy, when I was pregnant Son, I didn’t see that you found me a book that was pleasing to the eye. I didn’t see that you made me something that I could eat.” Master Ma: “Huh?What's going on here, why did you suddenly think about what happened when you were pregnant? '

"And you two, I worked so hard to conceive and give birth to you two, but when have you two cared about your mother? Where do I feel uncomfortable? What do I like to eat? You don't know anything, huh, what a waste I gave birth." Mrs. Ma was still angry, and continued to bombard the Ma Qi brothers.

Another day, Ma's family had dinner. "Madam, why do we always eat vegetarian dishes these days? I'm not a rabbit, so I need to add some meat dishes." After eating vegetarian dishes for several days, Mr. Ma Qu finally couldn't help but speak out.

"Daddy (grandfather) is mighty, we can't eat anymore, we just dare not speak!" All the males in the Ma family were stupefied after being scolded for a few days, and they dared not speak out.

"Hey, I want to eat meat. You are not like other princes who can make a lot of money every day. We have to save some money, sir, don't you think so?" Mrs. Ma raised her head and looked deeply at it full of resentment. Mr. Ma took a look. "Um... yes, what Madam said is what Madam said, and I listen to Madam." With his many years of professional experience in officialdom, Mr. Ma was keenly aware of the danger, so he decisively and quickly surrendered as a surefire measure.

'What?Father (grandfather), have you agreed to say something fair on behalf of everyone? 'Ma's male Ding burst into tears...

Mr. Ma: "What do you know? If I didn't have the ability to recognize danger, I would have been cheated a long time ago, and I have been able to rule the government and the opposition for so many years?"Life-saving is important at critical moments!Understand? '

The happy days always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye there is another cold and heat.In this year, Zhao Bi lived a wonderful life and let himself go.Feng Wang built a mansion, married a wife and raised children, and the two businesses he did were thriving and making money every day.The only thing that makes Zhao Bi sad is that the Empress Dowager has rapidly weakened since the beginning of winter, and is now bedridden.Zhao Bi had also inquired about the imperial hospital, and all the imperial physicians were helpless, and it could only be said that they had reached the end of their lives.The prescribed prescriptions are also based on warming and nourishing, and they just need to last for a while.

Just after New Year's Day, the Empress Dowager suddenly fell into a coma, and she hadn't woken up for many days, hanging on only ginseng soup.Anxious Zhao Bi is like an ant on a hot pot, only hating Da Song's poor medical conditions.In fact, he also knew that the imperial doctors also tried their best.In this era, living to the age of the empress dowager is already a long life.

The Empress Dowager is on her deathbed.Zhao Bi entered the palace every morning and stayed in the Ningshou Palace, and only returned to the palace at night to accompany the pregnant concubine.Since the princess was just pregnant, the queen mother insisted not to let the princess go to serve the sick.The concubine knew very well that Zhao Bi had a strong relationship with the empress dowager's ancestors and grandchildren, and she married such a husband because of the empress dowager's favor. She was very grateful for the empress dowager's care for their couple.Every day, I always go to the Buddhist hall to read some scriptures and pray for the empress dowager, praying for a speedy recovery of the old man, and watching the birth of her great-grandson with my own eyes.

However, contrary to expectations, the Empress Dowager was in a coma for five days, and her pulse was so weak that it was almost imperceptible.The imperial doctor bluntly said that he was powerless.Empress Dowager Xiang, Zhao Xu, Empress Meng led Zhao Bi, Zhao Ji and other princes and princesses to guard Ningshou Palace, not daring to leave.

Half a day later, the Empress Dowager suddenly woke up and even sat up with the support of the Empress Dowager Xiang. "I'm old, you're all grown up. Looking at you now, I'm relieved. I'm going to see your grandfather. I just hope that you are all safe and sound." The Empress Dowager looked at the group of grandchildren in front of the bed. Son, opened the mouth and said.

He patted the queen mother's hand again: "You also pay attention to your body, and you are not young anymore. From now on, the children will be handed over to you." I lost the feelings of mother and daughter, and seeing the current situation of the Empress Dowager, I was very sad to the Empress Dowager.

"Xu'er, Ji'er, and Xiaoji, come here." The Empress Dowager made a rare joke, imitating Zhao Bi's appearance and calling Zhao Ji Xiaoji.However, this time Zhao Bi couldn't laugh anymore. When he thought that his loving grandmother had come to the end of her life and was about to leave this world, she felt so sour that she couldn't restrain herself.It is said that men do not flick their tears lightly, but that is not yet sad. "Grandmother..." Zhao Bi just called out, but was choked up and couldn't make a sound.Zhao Xu and Zhao Ji also looked sad.

"Xu'er, grandma knows that you want to follow your father's example and continue to reform, and you don't want grandma to stop you." "Grandmother, grandson didn't..." Zhao Xu hurriedly defended.The empress dowager looked at Zhao Xu and smiled, and motioned him to listen to herself: "Grandmother is leaving, and you have grown up, so you can let go of your hands and feet. But as the emperor, any decision you make is related to the whole world." The people of Limin. You must remember to be cautious when doing things, and you must not act too hastily."

"Bi'er" the Empress Dowager turned her head and told Zhao Bi again, "Grandmother only wants you to be safe and happy, and be a happy prince. You have a good relationship with the princess, and grandma is very happy. Finally, she has chosen a caring person for you. Grandmother is I am not lucky to see your child born." "Grandma, you will be fine, you will see my child born, grandma, grandma..." Zhao Bi no longer cared about court etiquette, lying on the emperor's bed The queen mother began to cry on her knees, just like when Wu Zhaoyuan had just passed away when she was a child.

"You, why are you still the same as when you were a child? You are really a child who can't grow up..." The Empress Dowager stroked Zhao Bi's hair, seeing her grown-up grandson still lying on her lap like when she was a child, she felt even more worried. Reluctant.But everyone is mortal, even if you are the mother of a country, you can't get rid of the shackles of life and death.

"Xiaoji, although you are the youngest of the three of you, you are more calm than the two of them. The three of you are considered the oldest among your father's children, and you will have to take care of your younger siblings in the future." The Empress Dowager looked at Looking at Zhao Yu and Zhao Si, he continued, "Grandmother hopes that you will be brothers and sisters and help each other. Also take care of your sisters. Women's life is not easy, and your natal brothers are their reliance."

The Empress Dowager turned her eyes to her granddaughters: "Grandmother hopes that you can find a good man and have a good home. When you marry into your husband's family in the future, if you are wronged, you can ask your brothers to stand up for you. But you must not bully others , relying on the status of a princess to be domineering, extravagant and lustful. You need to know that there is no competition between the husband and wife, and there is no winner or loser. Only by supporting each other and cuddling with each other can they spend their lives together with beauty and beauty. This is the true happiness of a woman."

"Grandson (granddaughter) understands, grandma, take a break and stop talking." All the grandchildren had sad faces.The Empress Dowager is a good grandmother. Although she has preferences, she does her best to take care of and care about her grandchildren.Whoever has a big event or a small love, the old grandmother always cares about it.

"If you don't talk about it, the Ai family will have no chance to say it." The empress dowager let out a long breath: "The Ai family has said all that should be said, so you can close your eyes..." The empress dowager said, leaning Xiuzhen's body began to slide down, "I saw your grandfather, husband, are you here to pick me up..." The Empress Dowager murmured softly, then gradually closed her eyelids and fell silent.

"Grandmother!" "Queen Mother!" The Empress Dowager left in the midst of everyone's shouts, and she walked very peacefully.

In the eighth year of Yuanyou, Empress Dowager Gao died of illness at the age of 62.Posthumously titled Empress Dowager Xuanren Shenglie, she was buried in Yonghou Mausoleum with Yingzong.

The funeral of the Empress Dowager was very grand.Zhao Xu is always grateful for the empress dowager's kindness in protecting her accession to the throne under many crises.Although there were many conflicts later due to different political views, the Empress Dowager was always a good grandmother.This point is especially strong after seeing the two uncle Wangs, Zhao Hao and Zhao Kai, who came to express their condolences.If it wasn't for my grandmother's efforts to protect her back then, nine out of ten people who sat on the throne would have been one of these two.If this is the case, I am afraid that my nephew, who was once discussed as a reserve, will not end well.

It is said that there is no father and son in the Tian family, but the kindness of the grandmother is genuine.Thinking of this, Zhao Xu's sadness couldn't help but become a little more real.

On the other hand, Zhao Bi didn't have so much fuss. During the entire funeral, his grief and grief were beyond words.There was a suffocating sense of depression in that deep silence.Zhao Ji has made a special trip to the palace many times to comfort the Ninth Brother.I'm afraid that he will mourn too much and hurt his body.

After the death of the Empress Dowager, Zhao Xu took charge.Sure enough, as the Empress Dowager expected, he ordered the introduction and implementation of Yuanfeng's new law, and dismissed the old party prime ministers Fan Chunren and Lu Dafang.Recall the relegated Zhang Dun, Zeng Bu and other new parties.Use Zhang Dun as the prime minister to preside over the implementation of the new law.

The old party officials Su Shi and Su Zhe, who should have been demoted together, survived because after Su Shi returned to the court, he devoted himself to teaching and educating people and ignored the government.Su Zhe wiped his sweat frantically: "Oh my god, it's a good thing my brother hasn't caused any trouble in the past few years, or else I would have been implicated."Thank you for the humble gentleman who wrote to my brother.From now on, I, Su Zhe, will offer you two sticks of incense sooner or later. Zhao Bi: "You can save yourself, I'm still alive." '

The dead are gone, and the living must continue to live.

Zhang Dun finally returned to Beijing. After experiencing ups and downs in life, officialdom struggles, and transformation in the predicament, Zhang Dun finally returned to his own stage.Paying homage to the prime minister as soon as he returns to Beijing, it can be said that all hardships come and go, and times come and go.

It stands to reason that there are three fires for a new official to take office, and with Zhang Xiang as a person, the first fire must be to burn down the old party and drive it out.Surprisingly, Zhang Dun has not made any major moves, but silently sorted out and revised the new law, and compared it with the old law from time to time.Even Zhao Xu was a little anxious, "Isn't Zhang Xiang a die-hard supporter of the new law?"I have already given him the right to implement the new law, why not take action?
