Chapter 358 Fu Bi’s bombardment

Ren Shouzhong threw himself at Zhao Xu's feet and hugged Zhao Xu's legs: "Brother, big brother, please save me...Old slave, I hugged my eldest brother when I was a child. I held you in my arms to watch at Qingming Pond.

Fish... When big brother is sick, it is the old slave Xuan Yi who delivers medicine, big brother..."

Zhao Xu closed his eyes and opened them after a while: "Xuan Yi sent me the medicine. That's my mother's care for me. It's all your fault? Holding me and seeing the fish can offset your sins on paper."

?Can it offset the stain you have done to my empress’s reputation?! Ren Shouzhong, you really...you are really hopeless."

Ren Shouzhong suddenly collapsed to the ground, as if he was half dead.

Zhao Xu then handed over to Han Qi and said, "Ms. sir, after all, the empress is old and has a kind heart. Her treatment of the people around her needs to be softened a bit."

"It's easy to kill a defender, but how can we bridge the gap between the Tian family? My husband, please be considerate of the Tian family's difficulties, the empress's difficulties... and... my difficulties."

After saying this, he bowed deeply.

Han Qi hurriedly helped Zhao Xu up, bursting into tears, as if he wanted to vent out all the grievances he had felt during this period: "Your Majesty's words are serious. His filial piety is a blessing for his ministers. Although the foreign ministers tried hard to persuade, they still couldn't.

Can it be compared with Prince Yu Zhong’s compensation?”

"There was a decree just now. It was said that the Empress Dowager should declare the imperial edict. She would not sound the whip when entering and leaving, and the ceremonial guards would present the story of the Empress Dowager Mingsu as per the regulations. However, the empress has something to ask for, and she needs to send an envoy to record the imperial edict and deliver it to the office. Zhongshu, Privy Council,

It can only be implemented after the envoys have submitted their application and reply."

Zhao Xu was startled: "My lord, I absolutely cannot do this!"

Han Qi looked worried: "Of course it can't be done... Your Majesty, don't worry, Fu Bi has gone to dissuade you. Even if I try my best, I will not follow your majesty's edict and trap your majesty in an unfilial place!"

"Your Majesty, I will leave this matter to you. You should go back quickly and appease the Queen Mother."

…

Fu Bi was now speaking generously to the numb Zhao Shu on the throne.

"Your Majesty! The Queen has been playing in the Empress Dowager's arms day and night since she was a child. The Empress Dowager shares the sweet fruits and treats her with her concubine. She is kind but not powerful, just like a loving mother treats her daughter."

"Now that the Queen is in the middle of the palace, she has the honor to have a meal in front of the Queen Mother. Isn't it a good thing to rely on the love of the past and not to alienate herself? This is like looking at the Queen Mother with the heart of a child, and making the Queen Mother

Let’s enjoy a family relationship.”

"Sometimes the Queen Mother makes a request but is not satisfied and scolds her in anger. This is just like a mother-in-law and a mother to a new woman. Who says it's not okay?"

"If after the incident, the Queen Mother still abandons the Queen Mother, no longer accepts the philanthropy, and hates her as much as Qiu Xuan, then the ministers will naturally go to advise the Queen Mother."

"I am outside the gate, so I have no way of knowing what is going on in the imperial court. However, I have heard rumors recently that the emperor and the empress are serving the Queen Mother with more respect than before, while the Queen Mother treats you more harshly and harshly.

"

"When the Queen Mother hung up her curtain, Xianggong Han said that as long as there are rumors in the government and the public that are unfavorable to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother will not be able to support you. Now, I will also return these words to Your Majesty!"

"If Renzong had some slight doubts before His Majesty was established, it would have been impossible for Your Majesty to obtain the throne. Now that Your Majesty has been established, it means that the doubts did not harm Your Majesty. Isn't there the Queen Mother's kindness in comforting her?!"

"If you want to blame the Queen Mother for not hanging the curtain, then you should first blame Your Majesty for being sick and taking medicine. The Queen Mother was asked by the ministers at the time and had to do it. I ask what fault the Queen Mother has?!"

"What's more, now that the Queen Mother has returned all the power to His Majesty, the hanging of the curtain has not harmed His Majesty's authority."

"I privately speculate that these two major events made His Majesty very unhappy at the time, so even today, Your Majesty is still very worried about it!"

"It's been so long since both incidents happened. Is your Majesty still harboring hatred and never letting go?"

"If this is the case, Your Majesty, you are what "Gu Feng" said in "Gu Feng", 'a great virtue who forgets himself and thinks about my small grievances'!"

"This is a poem by the ancients that satirized King You of Zhou. How could your Majesty ignore the great filial piety of Yu and Shun and imitate King You's chaotic style?!"

"When the Empress Dowager was hanging up the curtain, she once said to her ministers, Hu Su and Wu Kui: 'A widowed woman without a husband has nothing to tell.' When I heard this, I was really heartbroken, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, you have issued an edict to the Queen Mother to ask for money, and you need to transfer orders from the envoys. It is countersigned by Zhongshu and the Privy Council agrees. What is the way to be a son? I deeply regret it for Your Majesty!"

This is basically pointing at Zhao Shu's nose and scolding him for being unfilial.

Zhao Shu was like a wooden sculpture, letting Han Qi spit and burst into tears, but could not move him in the slightest.

After a long time, Zhao Shu said in a daze: "Xiang Shouzhong had previously embezzled more than 30,000 yuan from the treasury. He only said that it was the Queen Mother's order. This edict was also prompted by the incident. It was to prevent people around the Queen Mother from acting indiscriminately. Fu Gongyan

Is it heavy?"

Fu Bi was furious and was about to continue the bombardment when he heard a young envoy coming to report: "Your Majesty, King Ying wants to see you."

Zhao Shu was sitting on pins and needles being scolded by Fu Bi, so he quickly called in: "Let him come in, there must be something wrong."

Zhao Xu said: "I have met my father and the Privy Council."

Fu Bi was still angry, so he had to straighten his clothes and meet Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu cupped his hands and said: "Father, I just heard Mr. Han say that Ren Shouzhong has been punished. Shouzhong deceived his superiors and acted arbitrarily in this matter. I have been with the empress recently. I can be sure that the empress did not know about it. Thirty thousand guan

The empress has no use for it either."

Zhao Shu turned into a woodcarving again: "What do you mean by this?"

Zhao Xu said: "Your Majesty said that Ren Shouzhong was domineering and Xianggong Han dealt with it correctly. My father called for the reorganization of the system, and my Majesty had no objection."

Zhao Shu moved uneasily: "Is your Majesty really saying that?"

Zhao Xu said: "Your Majesty did say so, but Father, you must not do this."

"On the day when the empress returned to power, the people of Bianjing spontaneously gathered at the palace gate to congratulate me, the royal family of the Song Dynasty, for her loving mother and son."

"Those who know about this edict will naturally understand that the emperor is afraid that his subordinates will deceive the Queen Mother and take care of her. But those who don't know, what will they think? What will the common people who gathered at the palace gate think when they know this? What if?

If someone with ulterior motives incites a trivial matter, will it cause big trouble?"

"My father and my wife have now returned to power and are ready to use their influence to promote charity."

"With her taking charge, in just a few days, I have raised 160,000 yuan. There is no doubt that my father and empress are supported by the people of the Song Dynasty."

"The empress has handed over all of these 160,000 guan to the responsibility of her subordinates. She has just waved away the 160,000 guan. Are you going to covet a mere 30,000 guan?"

"So from what I can see, the bewitched villain has now fallen into disgrace, and the matter is over. One more thing is worse than one less thing. I sincerely ask my father to take back that edict. How can we, the royal family of the Song Dynasty, be like the Xixia Khitan?" , don’t pay attention to filial piety and etiquette?”

Zhao Shu rolled his eyes, looking at the indifference on Zhao Xu's face, and then at the determination on Fu Bi's face, and involuntarily bounced his fingers on his knees twice: "Since the queen has entrusted such a big thing to you, brother

You can't be perfunctory, you have to do it well and don't let the queen down."

Fu Bi couldn't help but look at Zhao Xu with approval.

Zhao Xu also breathed a sigh of relief: "My son, I should do my best."

"Continuation of Zizhi Tongjian":

At the beginning of the reign of the Ping Dynasty, Yingzong ascended the throne and fell ill. The prime minister asked the Queen Mother Guangxian to listen to the government behind the curtain.

Anyone who enters the house will know that those who are loyal will do evil and evil and plot between the two palaces.

At that time, Duke Wen of Sima knew the Jianyuan, and Lu Jianyi was appointed as the censor, and he was asked to punish him for more than ten chapters.

Although Yingzong realized it, he did not implement it. One day, Prime Minister Han Wei Gong issued an empty edict. Ouyang Gong had already signed it, but Zhao Wei found it difficult to do it. He asked Ouyang Gong, "What's the matter?"

Ouyang Gong said: "The first book, Han Gong will have his own explanation."

The Duke of Wei sat in the political hall, appointed the chief minister as a loyal person, and established the court. He counted them and said: "You deserve death for your crime."

He was responsible for training the envoys of the Qizhou regiment, resettling Qizhou, filling them with empty edicts, and sending the envoys to escort them on the same day. The idea was that if they were slow, they would be changed.

Ouyang Gong said: "I wrote "Zijintang Ji" for Wei Gong. It says, 'The gentry is sitting on his wat, calmly, and ensuring the peace of the world on Mount Tai'. This is the basis for this."
