Zhao Zhen seemingly ended the court meeting calmly, and even said many words of comfort to the courtiers. However, only Chen Tong knew that the moment after the official left the throne and turned around, the expression of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty immediately turned as cold as ice.
Zhao Zhen, who slowly returned to the palace, had a suppressed anger all over his body. He was trying hard to restrain himself. Above the court, he saw Lu Yijian's timidity, and also saw the secret communication between Qian Weiyan and Zhao Yuanyan.
He is no longer the ignorant young emperor on the throne, but some people are still using clumsy means to deceive himself. It is really ridiculous, but it is also an insult to himself.
Zhao Zhen, who originally returned to the apse, needed to change his clothes before going to Chongzheng Hall, but Chen Lin waited for a long time with her casual clothes in hand but saw no movement from Zhao Zhen. When she looked up, she saw that the official had already walked away without any sign.
He planned to change his clothes, so he took steps to catch up.
At this time, Lan Jizong walked slowly into the palace. He and Chen Lin were the most trustworthy old men in Zhao Zhen's palace, so it was more convenient for him to inquire about some things.
"Did Qian Weiyan and Zhao Yuanyan collude?"
Lan Jizong slowly shook his head and said: "The servants wherever these two passed by said that the two had no collusion. Even the cars leaving the palace left in tandem. As for the situation outside the palace, the Imperial City Department's
People are already watching."
Zhao Zhen, who was in front of him, nodded slightly, but then quickly shook his head and said: "These two are very thoughtful. It is impossible to seize their handle. If they are so powerful, do they need to come forward in person? There will always be someone to take care of them.
The driving force is just that the relatives and the clan are together. Do you really think that I, the emperor, is just a decoration? Or have you forgotten the ancestral methods of the Song Dynasty?!"
Chen Tong on the side was filled with righteous indignation and said: "These two people are really collaborating together. The officials should use thunderous means to let them know where the power of God is!"
"What happens next? Once I attack, how will it end?!"
Lan Jizong and Chen Tong looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. In fact, they both saw that even with Ye Hou's enlightenment, the character of the official family had not completely changed.
At this time, the officials are still hesitant, wondering whether they should attack Zhao Yuanyan...
"Officials, it is necessary to shock Xiao Xiaonai. How can the emperor's power be violated?!" Chen Lin's voice came from the corner of the palace. Since the day when the palace was purged of the palace people, Chen Lin disappeared in the Imperial City Department.
, it is not common to see him even in the palace.
As an old man in the palace and a confidant of the Tian family, he had always been in control of the Imperial City Department before Ye An was promoted to the Imperial City Department, and he was not completely unfamiliar with the situation inside and outside the court.
Seeing that Zhao Zhen was still hesitating, Chen Lin finally couldn't help but speak. After saying this, she knelt on the ground and said, "As a eunuch, I have arbitrarily discussed state affairs. Please punish me!"
Lan Jizong and Chen Tong also quickly knelt down. Only then did they come to their senses. Their behavior at this time could be regarded as interfering with the official family.
It's just that Chen Lin and Lan Jizong sincerely apologized, but Chen Tong didn't take it seriously. In his opinion, he was doing it for the good of the official family and it was nothing wrong.
Zhao Zhen naturally would not blame the loyal servants of the Tian family, but he was still hesitating. He was worried that this matter would not be able to cut the knot quickly, but on the contrary, the matter would get worse and worse and would not be able to end.
I have just taken charge of the government, and I must not expose the scandal of the Tian family, otherwise how can I govern the world?!
After thinking for a long time, Zhao Zhen suddenly said: "Everyone, get up! I'm bored, so I'm going to take a walk in the back garden..."
At this time, Zhao Zhen didn't know what to do. He was a good hand in handling political affairs and was thoughtful. Although he didn't want to admit it, he was all thanks to Liu E's original teachings.
But Liu E was taught almost everything, but she rarely showed any skills in tactics, so that at this time, she was unsure.
Obviously there are countless ways to calm down the restless people in the court, but they don't know which step to take, for fear that one wrong step will break the peace in the court again.
The source of Zhao Zhen was not incompetence, but fear itself. He felt that he lacked the skills to control his subordinates, so he did not dare to act rashly.
In the back garden, Zhao Zhen walked slowly. Everything here was so familiar to him. It had not changed since Liu E opened the fields for growing sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes in the palace.
Everyone in the palace knows that this land cannot be touched at will, and only the back garden event officials and people who enter the palace are personally responsible for it.
The imperial palace of the Song Dynasty was probably the only palace in the history of the dynasties that had a courtyard in the back garden. Everything here seems to be inseparable from Liu E.
There are not only sweet potatoes and potatoes in the fields, but also many precious fruits and vegetables. The auspiciousness presented by Ye An that year also included peppers, tomatoes and other items, but these delicious fruits and vegetables were completely lost to the sweet potatoes and potatoes.
Only those who have actually eaten them know the deliciousness of these fruits and vegetables. Even now, the royal chef in the palace still uses tomatoes and eggs as a royal dish. Empress Guo herself loves them very much and uses them in almost every meal.
And Zhao Zhen prefers the green pepper shredded pork recommended by Ye An. The shredded pork is slightly fried in oil and has the unique taste of green pepper. He can eat two bowls of pearl rice.
"Guan family, Guan family?"
Queen Guo's call brought Zhao Zhen back to his senses. Looking at the graceful figure in front of him, Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "I was in a trance for a while and never saw the Queen."
Empress Guo frowned slightly, stepped forward and pulled Zhao Zhen to sit down and then said: "The officials are in charge of the government personally, and they should not be like this when working on state affairs. When I have heard about the way of civil and military affairs, the officials should also be like this!"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to Zhao Zhen and pinched his shoulders, which made Zhao Zhen feel a little more relaxed. This woman was very smart. Although it was the Queen Mother who promoted the position of queen, she said to herself after entering the palace,
She will always belong to the official family and has no other thoughts.
"I plan to dismiss the old ministers appointed by the Queen Mother, Zhang Qi and Xia Song, who are going to go out, but they are a little undecided. One of them is considered responsible, and the other is super capable!"
Queen Guo's eyebrows turned slightly: "I wonder if the official can talk to my husband?"
Zhao Zhen nodded slightly: "I told Lu Yijian a few days ago that he was very responsive when he stayed to do things."
Empress Guo covered her mouth and chuckled: "The official family is really blind!"
"Huh? How can the Queen see this?" Zhao Zhen felt comfortable being manipulated by Queen Guo and looked at her with a smile.
Empress Guo cleared her throat and said: "The barbarian slips alone are not attached to the Queen Mother's evil deeds. But she is very clever and adaptable. Otherwise, the veterans of the three dynasties have been in high positions for a long time and have been impeached constantly. Why can they always sit firmly? Even Wang Zeng is not his opponent.
Who can act as a check and balance in the court in the future?! Ye Hou is very honest now and would never dare to get involved!"
After hearing Queen Guo's words, Zhao Zhen suddenly came back to his senses. It really made sense. Although he had already made plans to dismiss the prime minister, he never touched Lu Yijian. Zhang Shixun and Li Di had already prepared for it.
OK.
Empress Guo leaned into Zhao Zhen's ear and whispered: "Lu Yijian can be a pillar, but the official family is too dependent on it. It is better to take the opportunity to let him go out to show the majesty of the heavenly family. Even if there is a need in the future, he can come again."
Return to phase!"
The hot air blowing from Queen Guo's mouth made Zhao Zhen's ears itch. He couldn't help but nodded and said: "The Queen is the mother of a country!"
