Empress Dowager Cao seemed to have let go of a big stone in her heart, and said to Su You: "Your temperament, conduct, and knowledge are impeccable. Emperor Renzong has always favored you, but he is not the wrong person."

"You are willing to risk your relationship and send Wei'er to the palace for my diagnosis and treatment. This shows that you have always cared about me and you are a good boy."

Su You couldn't hold it in any longer, and tears finally fell on the back of his hands: "But why did you refuse, Queen Mother?"

Queen Mother Cao said: "The old woman knows about her illness. You are still of great use to the country and your brother. How can you get a bad reputation because of the old woman?"

Su You was an orphan for two generations. If there is a woman in this world that he admires and respects, Mrs. Cheng is one. She is the image of a mother in Su You's mind. And the Queen Mother Cao is another, who is the image of Su You's mother.

The image of the middle grandmother.

Although there were very few opportunities for the two of them to meet, he could always feel Empress Dowager Cao's care, love, and even blessing for him.

It can be said that without Empress Dowager Cao, there is no doubt whether Su You would be here today.

Su You choked and said: "Why is the Queen Mother doing this? You should know that Su You is not afraid of this."

"I know." A narrow smile appeared on Empress Dowager Cao's face, "But I want you to owe me a favor. And... you will never pay it back."

Su You was greatly shocked, and his face suddenly turned pale.

In one sentence, Su You's biggest weakness was hit.

Since he came into this world, he has been giving and giving, and many people owe him a debt of gratitude.

As for himself, except for his relatives, he never owes anyone any favors. At most, he only has an exchange of interests.

This is Su You's subconscious self-protection, and it is also his last trace of alienation from the world.

He comes from another world, which allows him to transcend this world and look at everything that happens in this world with a God's perspective and scrutiny.

This gave him a casual, lazy, and see-through temperament.

Bright and indifferent, he was talked about by the government and the public.

But today, the wisest woman in the Song Empire used the softest words to destroy the hardest core in his heart, making him helpless and extremely weak at this moment.

Queen Mother Cao looked at Su You's reaction and knew that she had succeeded.

She finally relaxed completely and her voice became weaker and weaker: "If you really want to pay it back, give it back to the Song Dynasty, return it to the people, return it to brother, and help brother realize his wish..."

Su You burst into tears and said in a choked voice: "I, Su You, will do my best for the Song Dynasty and live up to the expectations of the Empress Dowager..."

Empress Dowager Cao fell asleep, and Su You quietly walked out with Zhao Xu.

Gao Taotao took his children to rest. There will be big things coming next, so he needs to be mentally prepared.

Zhao Xu sat on the golden pier, like a helpless child: "Mingrun, thank you so much, Lord, for relieving the Queen Mother of a lot of suffering."

Su You tentatively asked: "Qian Yi, a famous doctor from Zhejiang, and Tang Shenwei, a famous doctor from Sichuan, are currently waiting in the palace, Your Majesty..."

Zhao Xu shook his head: "The Queen Mother said that she didn't want to suffer from the disease anymore. She said... death is not terrible, death without dignity and dignity is terrible..."

Su You froze on the spot.

"...Mingrun, did you know? That year it was nearly Qingming Festival, and the Empress Dowager was ill, so I was in the pavilion to attend to her illness."

"While she was sleeping, she heard me complaining to the internal officials that no one knew how to thread saddles and bridles with beads nowadays, so she quietly had someone measure the size of my saddle, and then she found a piece of Xuan Suo Jade Saddle among the relics of Emperor Renzong.

As for the bridle, I ordered the workshop to follow the same pattern and put on a pair of beaded harness for me."

"The beaded collar was so ingenious that I was so happy that I immediately asked someone to put it on my little black horse and ride it wildly..."

"When she was able to walk, I personally built a small chariot for the Empress Dowager, helped her sit on it and took her to the Liangdian to relax. My mother picked up the chariot and helped her down with me. The Empress Dowager said happily, "Official

The Queen Mother personally supported the chariot. When she was the daughter of the Cao family, she knew she would be as prosperous as she is today!"

"After I took office, as long as I was late in dealing with political affairs, my grandmother would always wait and see. She would have been waiting for me to retire and then take me back to the palace..."

"My empress is very strict with me. Every time I receive a lesson, I can always find comfort and relief from my grandmother. She always stays with me until I regain my composure before going about my own business..."

"Mingrun, the person who loves me the most now, the person who loves me the most, she...she is leaving..."

At this point, Zhao Xu couldn't hold back his tears again.

Su You also cried with her: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are merciful. Bianjing and the Song Dynasty have benefited so many people. Your Majesty should suppress your sorrow and strengthen your spirit. In addition to the Empress Dowager and the Prince, everyone needs your Majesty."

Comfort, and the vast number of people in the Song Dynasty."

"This is related to the mourning and honor of the Queen Mother after her death. It is related to her dignity and respect that she valued most. We cannot make any mistakes on this."

Zhao Xu cried: "Mingrun, I...I am in a state of confusion now..."

Su You handed over his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please immediately summon Wang Yuyu, Lu Gongzu, clan brother, Feng Jing and other veterans who are familiar with the court's rules and etiquette to come to the palace to await the edict, as well as Zhizhi Gaozhang Dun, Cai Jing and other wise ministers to await the edict."

"I am not here under the orders of Your Majesty. Taking this important matter seriously may bring criticism to the Queen Mother, so I should no longer be in the palace."

Zhao Xu looked up with tears in his eyes: "You want to leave?"

Su You shed tears and held up his hands: "Your Majesty, my greatest wish is to accompany the Empress Dowager on her last journey. However, I just came back from the outside and just left Wutai. I have no experience and no job. So,

The style is inconsistent.”

"Besides, I am too young. Such important matters should be handled by experienced ministers, so that there will be no mistakes."

"The minister leaves the palace first, and then is called in by Your Majesty's decree. This is in line with the system. Your Majesty, having Weier by the side of the Empress Dowager... can be regarded as fulfilling the loyalty and filial piety for the minister."

Zhao Xu felt a little weak at this moment: "Mingrun..."

Su You sighed secretly in his heart: "It doesn't matter, I will stay with His Majesty until the governors arrive, and then go out through the side door."

The monarch and his ministers were speechless, sitting and standing, each lost in his own thoughts.

Zhao Xu was not the best monarch, but he was at least an emotional monarch.

For a tyrant like Emperor Qin and Han Wu, Su You would have run as far as he could; for a humanoid machine like Yingzong who was cold to the core, Su You would have done nothing but work.

Although Zhao Xu had many shortcomings, he was at least mentally a normal person.

He is also balancing and calculating, and many times his methods are clumsy.

But after balancing the calculation, he still had some feelings of shame and guilt in his heart. In Su You's eyes, he was already a king above the standard.

It shows that this person still has feelings and knows right from wrong.

Today was undoubtedly Zhao Xu's weakest day. Su You knew for the first time that a thirty-year-old emperor could still cry like a child.

Compared to his father who pretended to be dumbfounded in front of Renzong's spirit and couldn't shed a single tear, Su You felt that such a king was worthy of his service.

What should be the requirements for the emperor?

If Sima Guang were to answer this, he would be as heroic and handsome as Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty;

If Wang Anshi were to answer, he would have to live up to his name just like the three generations;

If it is Fan Zhongyan who answers, then he should have the world in mind, worry first and then rejoice;

But when he came to Su You, he only asked for a monarch who could have at least human feelings.

There is the kind of feeling that Mencius said: when you see a child about to fall into a well, you scream for help, regardless of whether the child is your own child.

Many emperors really thought that they were the emperor and that their power came from heaven.

And Su You was very lucky that in the era he traveled to, even though the sycophants and courtiers were crazy about it, no monarch was stupid enough to really think so.

Therefore, they are very vigilant about the use of violence and very cautious about the decision of punishment.

In fact, Su You did not think this was a sign of weakness. On the contrary, he thought it was a sign of civilization and progress.

The emperor was so angry that he laid his body thousands of miles away, bleeding and floating in the oars.

As a time traveler, Su You couldn't figure out why some people would think that was "cool"!

In Su You's mind, that was a naked crime against humanity!
