Chapter 465

"The grandson can get such a loyal minister, but it is the protection of his ancestors. His grandson will definitely do better than my father, so that I can restore the glory of the Han and Tang dynasties in the Song Dynasty." Zhao Xu couldn't help but answered with glory in his eyes.

The Meng girl beside her looked at the energetic young master, her eyes full of sweet love as sweet as honey. Gao Taotao wanted to say something when he heard this, but saw Zhao Xu's excited face.

I recalled the admiration for Wang Yang in the past two days when Su Dongpo met him. Compared with the overly tough and easy-to-false Wang Anshi, Wang Yang seemed to have a faint expression of everyone in both doing things and planning.

Moreover, in Gao Taotao's opinion, even though Wang Yang is so trustworthy and favored by himself, he has never said anything about reform. However, his every move is full of fresh and bitter trends.

Involuntarily, you will lead you to make changes little by little. Even when you realize the benefits of these methods, you will be surprised that his behavior and karma have deviated from the past family law.

For example, before, a censor impeached Wang Yang to cast armor privately. After all, armor was an extremely strict object in the Song Dynasty. No armor could be made without the court orders. If it were not written by the court, armor should be made. If this regulation is violated, it should be punished for serious crimes.

However, after seeing the strength and strength of the Song and Yuan dynasties, as well as the quality and low price, Gao Taotao directly suppressed the impeachment memorials of the affairs censors.

But at this time, Gao Taotao was shocked to find that whether it was paving the road with soldiers or proposing to abolish the craftsmen in the military equipment workshops, these seemed to be incompatible with the ancestral system. But the problem was that you had to say it very well, and you could not find any reason to object.

Nowadays, this kid is only a twentieth age, I'm afraid there will be a few more years...

Thinking of this, Gao Taotao couldn't help but feel a little curiosity, expectation, and even guess. If it weren't for the Emperor Shenzong's side by Mr. An Shi, but Wang Wushan, I'm afraid that the reforms of the Song Dynasty might not have caused such a fierce conflict...

The reason why I strongly oppose reforms is not because many of them are harmful to the country and the people. Therefore, after Emperor Shenzong passed away, he appointed Sima Guang as the prime minister at the beginning of his retreat and eliminated all the new laws.

As a result, the people praised it and the officials were all happy. However, the Song Dynasty did not become better and better as they imagined, but instead became weaker and weaker.

This made Gao Taotao anxious, but he had no choice but to do anything. The reform was wrong, but the failure to change it also made the court more and more difficult.

At this time, Gao Taotao couldn't help but think of the past palace examination, when Wang Yang stood up in the hall with his head held high, and the vibrant words in "Theory of the Young Chinese"...

"Grandma, what's wrong with you..." At this moment, I suddenly heard a nervous voice sounding in my ears. Gao Taotao turned his head and looked over and saw Zhao Xu's face with a little doubt and nervousness.

"My grandson just wanted to say goodbye to you, but after calling you several times, you didn't respond. Could it be that you are feeling uncomfortable in the emperor's grandmother?"

"It's okay, I've just gotten old for a while, and I'm just a little confused and distracted. You can go and do it. I'll let Yao Niang spend more time here with me, an old woman?" Gao Taotao smiled and shook his head, and said, "The eyes fell on Meng Yao Niang.

"Since you are happy, then Yao Niang, just accompany the emperor's grandmother, and grandson should say goodbye..." Seeing Gao Tao talking unwilling to say more, Zhao Xu didn't ask, but just gave instructions to Meng Yao Niang, then turned around and left.

Looking at the back of Zhao Xu who was gradually moving away, Gao Taotao suddenly spoke, and his words shocked Meng Yaoniang beside her.

"The official family is becoming more and more like the late emperor, but his temper is really anxious. Fortunately... With the help of the unparalleled national sage like Wang Wushan, the Ai family sometimes really wants to take a break and see what this Song Dynasty looks like..."

Meng Yaoniang stared at the Empress Dowager in front of her, and never expected that she would hear such words by the Empress Dowager's side.

Gao Taotao sighed for a long time. Seeing that Meng Yao Niang was still shocked, she couldn't help but smile, stretched out her hand that was no longer young, and gently held Meng Yao Niang's tender and smooth tenderness. "These words are no one in the Ai family can tell you, and you can only listen to them..."

"Empress..." Meng Yao's wife was a little flattered and wanted to fall to the ground, but was gently pressed by Gao Taotao. "In a few days, you should call the old emperor grandmother. Since you are a family, don't be too arrogant."

"Yes..." Meng Yaoniang's pretty face couldn't help but turn slightly red. She subconsciously glanced around her, and then she noticed that the eunuchs had already retreated far away, and Zhao Xu's figure had long disappeared.

Only the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao's confidant Xu Degong stood beside him, without a trace of expression on his face, as if he had heard nothing or knew nothing.

However, Xu Degong's heart was already stormy. He never expected that the strongest position in the Song Dynasty, the strongest position in opposing reforms, would have such thoughts as the firm backing of the old party.

You should know that when Emperor Shenzong reformed, this old lady got angry a lot, and the reason why Emperor Shenzong repeated it after that was that the Empress Dowager persuaded him from the side.

But now, her attitude has shown a wavering attitude, and the problem is really too difficult.

After the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao rested, Xu Degong personally sent Meng Yaoniang to the Spring and Autumn Palace, he attracted a confidant eunuch and whispered orders.

The little eunuch nodded in understanding and walked away quickly. After about half an hour, the little eunuch had already changed into a choreographed uniform, left the palace, and headed towards the Minfang.

Shangshu's right servant Liu Zhi looked at a small note in his hand in a daze. In front of him, Zhao Tingzhi, who had already lost his post and dismissed, and Zhu Guangting.

"Xiang Liu, we must quickly put together this matter and how to stop it. Otherwise, if the Empress Dowager really gets in mind, then our efforts over the years will be wasted." Zhu Guangting said with his eyes fixed on Liu Zhi in front of him.

"How could this happen..." Liu Zhi stood up, but in his hand he was still holding the small note with words in his face, his face full of disbelief.

"The Empress Dowager is definitely not a person who admires the Three and Four. Otherwise, when the late emperor was in power, she had always opposed the new law. Even though she had a strong relationship with the late emperor, she still remained unchanged."
