The Empress Dowager opened her eyes slightly, looked at Zhao Xu, and said weakly: "What are you doing here?" Why don't you hurry up and send someone to find the emperor and the national teacher?" It turned out that she regarded Zhao Xu as Li Yan's stand-in. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The Empress Dowager, isn't Xu'er right in front of you, where are you going to find it?"

When the Empress Dowager heard this voice, her eyes widened, she turned her head to look at the person who spoke, and wanted to sit up excitedly, but she couldn't do so after all, and said hurriedly: "National teacher, you quickly help the mourning family to see, what's wrong with the mourning family? You have obviously made up for the mourning family, why is the mourning family's mental strength still exhausted?"

"Alas......" Xiao Peng sighed and said regretfully: "The Empress Dowager, you must know that when the manpower is poor, although I have mastered some immortal means, I am not a real immortal after all, and the current situation of the Empress Dowager is that Da Luo Jinxian is also powerless." ”

"Two years ago, you were just exhausted, your heart was still good, I can still use mana to replenish your mental strength, but now, even your heart has been necrotic, just like a bowl of water, when the water is dry, you can still pour it again, but if even the bowl is broken, how can you hold water?"

The Empress Dowager looked at Xiao Peng like ashes, Xiao Peng's truth was very simple, she understood as soon as she heard it, in the final analysis, her heart was dead.

"Alas, there will be this day after all. After the Empress Dowager understood that she was incurable and would definitely die, she calmed down and turned to Zhao Xu and said: "The official family, the mourning family is leaving, but there are a few words, the mourning family must tell you, as the saying goes, 'A person is about to die, and his words are also good', I hope that the official family can listen to the words of the mourning family." ”

"Grandmother, please say, the grandson will remember it. Zhao Xu said respectfully, but added a sentence in his heart, "But it's not necessarily necessary to do it or not." ”

"The official family, the ancestors had a difficult business, and fortunately the ancestors were profound, so they had peace today, but when your father was in power, the whole country was boiling, and it almost caused great changes.

The corners of Zhao Xu's mouth hooked up a playful smile, and said: "Regarding this issue, didn't the emperor's grandmother tell her grandson since she was young? ”

The Empress Dowager's bloodless face moved slightly, and she sighed: "Wang Anshi is knowledgeable and talented, he was not a bad person, and his intentions are naturally for the country and the people, but ...... Alas...... But your father, the emperor, has an impatient temperament and only hopes to succeed quickly, but he doesn't know that things in the world are often not done quickly, and he is in a hurry, but he makes a mess. ”

She said this, gasped for a while, and then continued: "Second...... Second, he can't listen to a word of uncontrollability, others can only sing praises and say that he is a saint of heaven, he likes it, if he says that he is not acting properly, and admonishes a few words, he will be furious, the dismissal of the official, the exile of the exile, in this way, who else dares to speak directly to him?"

Xiao Peng listened to the words of the Empress Dowager, his eyes showed a little appreciation, and he said to Zhao Xu: "Xu'er, your imperial grandmother's words are still very reasonable, you write them down carefully, you must be humble in the future, you must know that loyalty is against the ear, often you don't like to listen, but it is really good for you." ”

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager glanced at Xiao Peng gratefully, and turned to look at Zhao Xu.

"Yes, the disciple remembers the teachings of the master, and thanks to the imperial grandmother for the mention. Zhao Xu responded respectfully, then sighed, and said: "Although my father is far away, he wants to benefit the people after all, but unfortunately his good laws and good intentions have been ruined by the villain." ”

The Empress Dowager was taken aback and asked in a trembling voice, "What...... What is the good law and what ......is the good meaning? What villain?"

Zhao Xu looked at the Empress Dowager with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Aren't the Qingmiao Method, the Horse Protection Law, and the Armor Protection Law created by my father and the emperor all good methods for enriching the country and strengthening the army? ”

The Empress Dowager's face changed color, and she was about to sit up, but she was extremely weak, and it was difficult to lift her body by an inch or two, so she couldn't stop coughing.

Seeing this, Zhao Xu said lightly: "Imperial grandmother, don't be angry, rest a little more, your body is important." Although he was comforting, there was no affection and concern in his tone, and he knew that the Empress Dowager was dying, but he still spoke like this, showing no sincerity.

Xiao Peng shook his head helplessly, it seems that this kid's resentment towards the Empress Dowager is really not ordinarily deep! But Xiao Peng didn't want to say anything, if Zhao Xu hadn't met him, he wouldn't have lived for a few years, and what the Empress Dowager did when Zhao Xu was a child was the main cause, when Zhao Xu was sick, the Empress Dowager did not allow the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat him, so that he fell ill and died young.

The Empress Dowager coughed for a while, gradually calmed down, and sighed: "Official, except for these two years, you have been an emperor for seven years, but these seven years are ...... In the past seven years, the real emperor is your imperial grandmother, and you have to listen to the imperial grandmother's instructions in everything, you ...... You must be very angry in your heart, and hate your imperial grandmother very much, don't you?"

Zhao Xu said lightly: "The imperial grandmother is the emperor for her grandson, that is to love her grandson! I am afraid that my grandson will be tired, the employment is for the imperial grandmother, the holy decree is given by the imperial grandmother, and the grandson is very idle, so what's wrong? How dare you blame the imperial grandmother?"

The Empress Dowager sighed deeply, her eyes suddenly became a little kinder, and she looked at Zhao Xu and said softly: "You are very much like your father, you think you are smart and capable, and you always want to do a great career...... Don't you know about the mourners?"

Zhao Xu smiled slightly and laughed at himself: "The imperial grandmother naturally knows, the head of the inner guard is a close confidant of the imperial grandmother, the head of the inner eunuch is the confidant of the imperial grandmother, the Chinese military ministers of the dynasty are all appointed by the imperial grandmother, in addition to obediently obeying the orders of the imperial grandmother, does the grandson dare to do one thing casually and say a word casually?"

Zhao Xu said this, Azhu Azi, Wang Yuyan, and even Mei Lan Zhuju looked at Zhao Xu with a little sympathy, but there was a little more anger towards the Empress Dowager, Wang Yuyan's heart was full of pity, "Everyone knows how beautiful it is to be an emperor, and my cousin's family has only had this one goal for generations. ”

After listening to Zhao Xu's words, the Empress Dowager looked at the top of the tent with stunned eyes, she suddenly figured out something, and said with a wry smile: "You must be looking forward to today every day......, right? You can show your talents, you have studied with the national teacher for two years, and now you must have returned from your studies. ”

"Originally, the longevity of the mourning family should have been exhausted a year and a half ago, but the national teacher deliberately renewed my life for a year and a half, just to buy time for you, the national teacher is really well-intentioned! You have the support of the national teacher, it is really a blessing, hehe, in this way, you may really be a good emperor now! In any case, I still have to thank you...... Thanks to the national teacher for giving the mourning family a year and a half of longevity. ”

"Alas, the Empress Dowager is serious, it's all for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty and the people of the world, you don't have to thank me. Xiao Peng waved his hand and sighed lightly: "No matter what your starting point is, after all, it is Xu'er who has been put on the throne, which has given him the opportunity to show his ambitions, and in general, you still have some kindness to Xu'er." ”

Zhao Xu said expressionlessly when he heard this: "Yes, everything the disciple was given by the imperial grandmother, if it wasn't for the imperial grandmother to preside over it, when the father and the emperor died, the ministers of the court and the central government did not establish King Yong, but also established the king of Cao, the deep grace of the imperial grandmother, how dare the grandson forget? It's just ......."

The Empress Dowager glanced at him and said lightly: "What's the matter? What do you want to say, even if you say it, the mourning family is dying anyway, why do you bother to vomit?"

Zhao Xu nodded, and said in a deep voice: "It's just that the reason why the imperial grandmother made her grandson the emperor is just because she coveted her grandson's young age, and the imperial grandmother herself can come to the court in person." ”

The Empress Dowager nodded slowly and said, "Your words are good, the Mourning family really wants to govern the country by themselves, how has the Mourning family been governed in the past nine years?"

Zhao Xu smiled slightly, took out a stack of paper that Li Yan had handed him before from his arms, and said: "Imperial grandmother, the words of the court and the field scribes sing praises and virtues, I don't know how much I have said in the past nine years, but I am afraid that the imperial grandmother is also tired of listening to it, this is a few pieces of information sent by my Great Song Dynasty in the past few days, saying that the prime minister of the Liao State has a letter to the Liao Emperor, mentioning the administration of the imperial grandmother, this is the opinion of the minister of the enemy country, the imperial grandmother wants to listen to it?"

The Empress Dowager sighed: "It doesn't matter if you are desecrated by the world, or slandered all over the world, you will mourn your family...... The mourning family can't survive tonight, the prime minister of Liao...... He...... What does he say about mourning?"

Zhao Xu took out a piece of paper and said: "The prime minister said in the recital that the emperor's grandmother, since the curtain was lowered, summoned famous ministers, abolished the new law and harsh government, and was in power for nine years, the court was clear, Huaxia Sui'an, put an end to internal luck, cut off foreign personal favors, and the things presented by Wen'en Yuan, regardless of the details, will not take one of them for life......"

Zhao Xu paused when he read this, and saw that the Empress Dowager's eyes, which were already not at all bright, shot out a few traces of excitement, and then read: "People think that the female Zhongyao Shun, hehe, this is exactly the same as the evaluation of the imperial grandmother by the master back then!"

The Empress Dowager muttered: "People think that the female Yao Shun, and people think that the female Yao Shun, even if it is really Yao Shun, it is inevitable to die after all." ”

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her increasingly blurred and dull mind, and she asked urgently: "Why did the prime minister of the Liao State mention the mourning family......? You have to be careful, they know that the mourners are dying, and they want to bully you. ”

Zhao Xu's young face showed a proud look, and said: "I want to bully me, hum, the words are good, but it's not so easy, the Khitan people have a fine work in Tokyo, and they know that the imperial grandmother is seriously ill, but don't we have a detailed work in Shangjing?

Speaking of this, Zhao Xu took out a second piece of paper and said, "Imperial grandmother, there is another piece of information here, after you hear it, you can go with peace of mind." ”
