All Heavens Return - Chapter 608
“The officials know what kind of consequences will be caused if you spread this sentence?” after a long time, the Empress Dowager finally came back and asked in a low voice.
His eyes looked left and right involuntarily. Fortunately, no one else was present at this time. In this way, he was a little relieved.
At this time, she had reflected the reason why the other party had to order all the internal servants to withdraw when they came in. It turned out that she had known the seriousness of the matter for a long time.
“What consequences can there be? Just try to drive me out of the throne. Then, you can replace me with an honest emperor, obediently obey their arrangements and arch the world.” Zhao Ji smiled and looked like he didn’t care.
“Smile, are you still in the mood to laugh?” seeing the other party’s look, the Empress Dowager immediately trembled with anger,
“Don’t you know that this sentence offended all the scholar bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty? So, who else will govern the country for you?”
“Therefore, my mother also admitted that the scholar bureaucrat group is becoming more and more powerful, and even I can’t offend?” Zhao Ji looked at each other again and said word by word,
“Well, I am really just a puppet.”
“….” opened his mouth to the Empress Dowager and remained silent. After a long time, I sighed,
“In the past, King Jinggong failed in the reform, and your father and Emperor had to compromise with the civil service group. At that time, he had such feelings. Therefore, you have such a mind, and the mourning family can understand it.
However, you can’t deny that this is a fact and an irrefutable trend. Even if you are unhappy, you can only follow. Otherwise, the world will be in chaos? ”
“The empress has a deep insight. Even her father and Emperor are not as good as them.”
Zhao Ji looked at the Empress Dowager for a while again. Although he was in his fifties, he could not hide his old and weak. In orthodox history, the other party also died next year.
Of course, after he succeeded to the throne, he offered some pills to nourish the yuan and strengthen the foundation many times. Xiang Shi often took them. It wouldn’t hurt in a short time. This is not only to repay each other for their kindness to support their superiors, but also to meet the needs of the stability of the harem.
For example, Liu’s wife, the empress dowager, is in charge. The other party is suppressed all the time. Even if she has some messy thoughts, she doesn’t dare to be too presumptuous.
In the past, he just regarded each other as an old woman who was good at fighting in the Palace but had no foresight. After all, Zhao Ji, whom she valued, was not a qualified emperor.
Today, it suddenly occurred to me that the other party could be a queen for so many years. The Empress Dowager is really not that simple. At the very least, he is sober in his understanding of the past reform.
“At the beginning of your father’s accession to the throne, he was arrogant and young. He always wanted to do something groundbreaking. Later, he became friends with Wang Anshi and ordered him to take full charge of the reform.
Unfortunately, he ignored the essence of the Zhao Song Dynasty and angered the interests of too many people. In the face of huge pressure, he finally had to compromise and terminate the reform.
After that, his whole person changed and became mature, but he also became lifeless… ”
It seems that I recall those memories in the past. I was very interested in talking to the empress dowager, and unconsciously said a lot. Of course, she didn’t forget her duty. In the end, she still strongly admonished,
“Today, the interests of all strata of the country and the dynasty are more stable than those of the Shenzong Dynasty in the past. Officials must not do those reckless things, otherwise they will lead to instability in the government and great disaster is not far away.”
“I understand your mother’s intentions. However, since I understand these, I still do so. Naturally, it’s not aimless.” Zhao Ji smiled, knowing that the other party can’t easily agree with himself, and won’t continue to entangle like this. Suddenly, he drank lightly. In the next moment, he saw a flash of gold, and an illusory dragon shadow sprang out of itself and hovered over his head.
“This… This is…”
The Empress Dowager Xiang was so frightened that she almost screamed. If it weren’t for the continuous conditioning of pills in recent days, otherwise, she might have been scared to death based on her former physical condition.
As like as two peas, I am still vivid. I still can’t believe it. Rubbing your eyes, yes, it is really golden dragon, like a camel, a deer like a deer, a rabbit like an eye, a cow like a cow. It is vivid and vivid, exactly like the description in the portrait.
“Officer… Official family, what’s the matter with you?”
“Madam, don’t be alarmed. The golden dragon is not a evil thing, but a dragon shaped body formed by the luck of the great song dynasty.” Zhao Ji waved. The Golden Dragon circled again at a high speed, but disappeared into his body again.
“My mother should know that I have been obsessed with cultivating metaphysics since I was a child, and I have made a lot of efforts for this.”
“What do you mean… This is the accomplishment of cultivation?”
“You can say so.” Zhao Ji nodded,
“Empress should have heard of the name of immortal Feiyun?”
“Immortal Feiyun?” the Empress Dowager was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said,
“Is that the Taoist who made a good reputation in Bianjing a few months ago?”
“It’s him,” Zhao Ji nodded again and then said,
“In fact, this immortal Feiyun is a real Taoist. He not only has supernatural power, but also is proficient in all kinds of miracles. Even the Yangyuan pills that my mother takes every day are also refined by this immortal Feiyun.”
“I see.” nodded to the Empress Dowager and smiled,
“This Yangyuan pill is really a rare treasure medicine. After taking it, AI family only feels that her body is becoming more and more healthy day by day. Even some old problems accumulated in the past are no longer committed. Speaking of it, AI family has always wanted to meet this expert in pharmacy in person.”
“My mother’s health is better than anything. As for meeting, forget it.” Zhao Ji shook his head slightly,
“Immortal Feiyun is cold and arrogant. He doesn’t like to have too many interactions with people in the secular world. Therefore, since I ascended the throne, I have only contacted in private without any publicity.”
“It’s understandable that an expert always acts unfathomably.” he nodded to the Empress Dowager and suddenly asked,
“Ai Jia remembers that you had contact with this flying cloud immortal before you ascended the throne. Could it be that the scene just now was also related to each other?”
“My mother’s insight, I have achieved success in cultivation now. Although I can’t be regarded as an immortal. However, it’s impossible to be hurt in the world. Moreover, I have also been recognized by the dragon spirit of the great song dynasty. I’m already a real dragon emperor. Any move that dares to challenge my throne can’t succeed.”
“Is that true?”
The Empress Dowager was a little silent, and his face showed a loss that was hard to hide.
It was just before. She could use her past experience to admonish each other. However, what the other party shows now has far exceeded her understanding, and she doesn’t know what to say.
Looking at each other again, I had a faint premonition that the other party must do something earth shaking, just like his father and emperor in the past.
Stop each other? This idea was put out by him in an instant when he was just born. At his age, what else can he do? That is, admonishing each other is more than enough, not to mention stopping.
“Well, my children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and I can’t control my family.” thinking of this, I asked the Empress Dowager slowly,
“Come on, what’s your plan?”
“Those officials outside the palace secretly informed the Empress Dowager?” Zhao Ji didn’t answer immediately, but asked a rhetorical question.
“The AI family doesn’t hide it from you either. Someone did ask the AI family to inquire about you. Of course, they should have no other thoughts.” now that they have made up their mind, they won’t hide it from the Empress Dowager anymore and directly replied. As the Empress Dowager of the great Song Dynasty, she was one of the core figures of the old party. If there was any trouble in the court, she couldn’t hide it from her.
“Not now, but not in the future.” Zhao Ji replied with a smile and continued,
“To be honest with my mother, I do have the idea of drastic reform. Moreover, it is to fundamentally change the current national and Korean constitution, which will certainly attract a lot of opposition. I will deal with others. However, I hope my mother can support as much as possible and maintain an impartial and neutral attitude even if I can’t.”
“Completely change the national and Korean system!” although I have guessed in my heart, I didn’t expect that I still underestimated it. Is it so easy to reform a country’s system? A little carelessness is chaos in the world?
“Do you want to improve the status of martial arts?” asked the empress dowager, suddenly thinking of the imperial edict issued by the other party some time ago.
“This is just one.” Zhao Ji nodded and then said,
“Don’t worry, madam. Although I set my goal higher, I won’t be unprepared.”
“That… That’s all right.” seeing that the Empress Dowager was firm and knew she couldn’t persuade, she had to tell her again,
“The mourning family will no longer advise you, but you must remember to be cautious and never make the same mistakes as your father and emperor in the past.”
……
When the Empress Dowager Xiang is finished, there will be no worries. At least, it’s stable in the harem.
As for foreign officials, there are ways to deal with them. How can a group of mortal officials resist their extraordinary means? Of course, as mentioned before, he won’t be in a hurry. It’s the best choice to try to move forward a little.
“Official family, there’s news from empress Liu again.” on the way, Zhang Yan suddenly came over and whispered back.
“Oh?” Zhao Ji asked with a solemn look,
“When and what did she do?”
“Just last night, a palace maid beside empress Liu went out to buy goods. As a result, she received a letter.”
“Or Cai Jing?”
“No,” Zhang Yan shook his head and continued,
“I specially asked someone to check. The man was Liu’s brother in Bianjing.”
“Where’s the letter?”
“Little, let someone catch the maid in waiting, and the letter has been got.” Zhang stretched his hand to touch it from his arms. The next moment, he took out a yellow envelope and handed it respectfully.
“Well done.”
Zhao Ji nodded and then opened the envelope. After reading the content in my heart, my eyebrows immediately wrinkled.
The letter didn’t say anything unusual, but the Liu family secretly raised a sum of money for Liu and planned to send it to the palace in a period of time. In addition, like the empress dowager, he mentioned it faintly and asked Liu to inquire about his tone.
“Ask me what I think?”
Zhao Ji sneered, not only the Liu family, but also the Liu family. If he guessed right, the money given by Liu’s brother was false, and the real purpose was for the latter.
Of course, when the late emperor died, the Liu family had no power and the Liu family was no longer prominent. Naturally, they were not important people and could not be interested in the country’s policies.
I’m afraid the Liu family is just a puppet pushed to the stage to cover up. The real characters are hidden behind the scenes.
“I just mentioned it, and everyone began to feel uneasy. What I didn’t know was that I stabbed Ma Feng’s nest?” Zhao Ji sneered, and soon finished the letter and said again,
“I remember some time ago, I asked you to check the letters between Liu and Cai Jing. Can you get anything?”
“The official Rong reported that there was no harvest in CAI’s house. However, Xiao found it in empress Liu’s palace.”
“Oh!” Zhao Ji asked with a flash of light,
“Where’s the letter? Have you ever carried it with you?”
“The officials will wait a minute. I’ll pick it up myself.”
With that, Zhang Yan didn’t dare to hesitate, so he quickly left with a hurried sound.
“Still a little irritable.”
Zhao Ji shook his head slightly, but he didn’t mean to blame. The extension speed is very fast, but it has returned in a moment. There are about four or five envelopes in his hand.
“I think you have read the contents of the letter?”
“The official apologized. In order to confirm the authenticity of the letter, I did read it. However, the letter is full of respectful answers, and there is nothing wrong with it.”
“Really?”
Zhao Ji chose one at random, opened it and read it carefully. Sure enough, as the other party said, it was all nonsense without nutrition. It can be seen that Cai Jing is crafty and will not leave anything to himself.
I don’t know what was written in the letter sent by Liu Shi. I think it’s certainly not as cautious as Cai Jing. Unfortunately, those letters may have been destroyed by Cai Jing long ago.
Zhao Ji frowned. He was still unwilling. Then he opened all the letters and read them one by one.
“Eh?”
Suddenly, he was surprised, read all the letters carefully again, and muttered,
“I see.”
At this time, Zhao Ji has reacted. Although Cai Jing is cautious enough, he is not without flaws. From these nutritious answers, we can roughly guess Liu’s idea.
“This woman is really crazy. At this time, everything in the past has already disappeared. Why can’t she let go? She has to make a living with Meng?”
Zhao Ji frowned. At this time, he couldn’t help feeling a headache for the woman. Fortunately, although the other party secretly contacted Cai Jing, it was not too special. After all, Empress Dowager Xiang is still alive. With her one day, Meng can’t fall.
However, you can’t let the other Party keep fooling around like this, otherwise it will be more and more difficult to end without scruples? In the future, if there is any scandal like in the original history, will it not lose the face of the royal family?
At the thought of this, his face suddenly sank and asked:
“Where is the maid now?”
“He was temporarily detained in a room.”
“Good.” Zhao Ji smiled,
“Send someone to bring the maid here. I’ll drive the Yuan Fu Palace later. I’ll have a good talk with the imperial sister-in-law.”
