Zhao Zhen was in poor health and the eunuch was untrustworthy. For almost half a year, the queen helped memorials and memorials in various places, and then Zhao Zhen made a decision.

Empress Cao is also smart, born in a general and has both civil and military skills. She has been in the palace for so many years and has been able to firmly sit in the throne of the queen, which shows her extraordinary skills.

She abides by the wife's morals and will not directly interfere in the government affairs, but since she is by the emperor, she has room for trouble.

For example, hundreds of memorials were placed there, and with Zhao Zhen's physical strength, it was naturally impossible to deal with them all. Some were important, some were not important, some were just handled according to the rules, and some were new problems and had to worry about them... Empress Cao could affect Zhao Zhen's ruling as long as she took a little action on the classification.

For example, if two yamen or two officials fight, and the man says that the man has reason, then who is right? A simple truth is that he has preconceptions. If he can hand it to the emperor first, he will naturally take advantage.

These things were controlled by eunuchs before, so although the status of eunuchs in the Song Dynasty was not very good, no minister dared to offend them easily.

Now the eunuch is useless, but his power will not disappear, but he just falls into the hands of Empress Cao.

At first, Empress Cao was very restrained and did not dare to play power casually, but she always fought by the river, so she would not be able to wear her shoes. Moreover, she was born into a general and had a huge Cao family to take care of.

Naturally, there is a tendency to be biased and cannot really stay out of the matter. Moreover, Zhao Zhen's health is getting worse and worse, Empress Cao's power is getting bigger and bigger... Gradually, the style differences between the emperor and the empress also emerged.

Zhao Zhen was disappointed with civil officials and was eager to make achievements, so he naturally favored the reformists. As a woman, Empress Cao longed for stability. In addition, the reforms were in depth, and the generals were also affected, and Empress Cao became more and more conservative.

She is responsible for sorting out the memorials, and the memorials that oppose reforms are often placed on the top.

Zhao Zhen was not unaware of these, but the problem was that he was old and lacked energy. Empress Cao was his wife and the prince's mother. She would point at her to protect the prince in the future. Zhao Zhen had seen it, so it was no wonder.

But today, Empress Cao openly stood up and said bad things about Wang Anshi, which made Zhao Zhen alert.

"Zi Tong, may you have any opinions on Wang Aiqing?"

Empress Cao was startled. She realized that she had just said too much and hurriedly said, "Sage, I am just a woman, so how dare I criticize my husband in the dynasty? It's just that Wang Anshi dared not to get off the horse outside Xuande Gate. This is also considered to be a contempt for the royal family? I am a heroine of the family, but I dare not ignore it."

Seeing that Zhao Zhen was not angry, she continued to sigh: "Speaking of this, Wang Xianggong is indeed very hard-working and working hard for state affairs... It's just rumored outside that he is domineering, promoting administrative affairs, leaving no room for his own private affairs, and appointing private people. The reputation is not very good..." As soon as he clicked, Empress Cao immediately covered her mouth and said: "I always listened to the random words outside, and it is not considered interfering in the government affairs!"

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "You can only tell the truth from one husband and wife. I love to listen." After a pause, Zhao Zhen said again: "Zi Tong, there have been more and more suspicions these days, and the two sides are not doing well. You can sort out the memorials for me, roughly excerpt some, and let me see them. There are so many that I can't finish reading."

Empress Cao nodded happily, "That I'm leaving."

...

Seeing his wife leave, Zhao Zhen closed his eyes slightly and was silent for a while. He wanted to think carefully.

"Your son, come here."

From the other side, Zhao Shu walked over. He was very obedient. After saluting, he sat by the bed and massaged Zhao Zhen's stiff and cold legs.

The same problem with Zhao Zhen and Ouyang Xiu is both a diabetes mellitus.

Perhaps he had eaten too well. In his later years, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty basically suffered from wealth and honor. However, Zhao Zhen's condition was more complicated than Ouyang Xiu. He was weak. For a period of time, he worked hard day and night to give birth to a child and took many tonics. As a result, all diseases occurred in the past few years, which was considered to pay off his debts in the absurd years.

Zhao Shu's technique was very good. After pinching it for a while, Zhao Zhen finally recovered his energy.

"Emperor, what do you think about Wang Anshi's collision with Xuande Sect?"

Zhao Shu hesitated for a moment and was a little difficult to speak.

"Speak, say what you are in your heart in front of your father."

"Yes." Zhao Shu pondered for a moment and said, "I heard from Mr. Wang about something about Mr. Wang... A few years ago, Mr. Wang invited Mr. Wang to dinner, but found that he liked the ham in front of him very much. Later, his master went to visit Mr. Wang and sent a few kilograms to Mr. Wang. But he heard from Mr. Wang's daughter that Mr. Wang only ate the dishes in front of him when he was having dinner."

Zhao Zhen hesitated for a moment and smiled, "I have heard that Wang Aiqing is a good person to support."

Zhao Shu smiled and said, "Mr. Wang is not greedy for his words and does not care about the details. He is a very pure person. He may be too focused on things and is definitely not being disrespectful. My son thinks that Mr. Wang has made great contributions to assisting his father, so he will give him a horse in the palace!"

After listening to it, Zhao Zhen glanced at his son meaningfully.

The little guy is old and starts to have his own ideas, and dares to sing a stage show with his mother.

"Son of the Emperor, do you know what consequences will be if the father issued an order now and rewarded the King's beloved minister?"

Zhao Shu thought, "My son thought that since the king was a pure man, he would definitely devote himself to his work until his death to be loyal to the royal family of the Song Dynasty!"

"But many people will be disappointed!"

Zhao Shu gritted his teeth and plucked up the courage, "Father, if you want to do things, it will be difficult to achieve both ends! My son went to the northwest for a few months and thought it through a little bit. Everything is rewarded with efforts! Even the court is no exception! For example, if you want the soldiers to die, you must solve your worries and let them know that even if you die in battle, your family will receive enough pension. If you don't give them land, why can you make your life work? Where does the land come from? It definitely does not come out of thin air. Only by killing the original owner can you seize it. If you want to not kill people or shed blood, you will be satisfied with all parties. That is, it is a delusion! All parties are satisfied, that is, all parties are not satisfied. If you don't completely meet one party's requirements, you will not be able to replace your loyal supporters."

These days, Zhao Shu kept thinking. Today, he told everything he had learned, and Zhao Zhen was quite surprised after listening.

After pondering for a long time, Zhao Zhen smiled comfortably, "The emperor will definitely be a decisive and courageous emperor in the future. I feel very relieved..."

Zhao Shu was happy to be recognized by his father.

Zhao Zhen continued: "Your meaning is clear to the emperor. You want your father to use only the new school and not the old school. But I can't make up my mind for some things. I'm afraid that it will only take action until the day you ascend the throne!"

Zhao Shu was very surprised. As the emperor, his father and his words were so difficult to give Wang Anshi a support? He didn't agree with it, but he didn't dare to show it. He could only lower his head and continue rubbing Zhao Zhen's legs.

Zhao Zhen was both relieved and ashamed when he looked at his growing son.

A silly child, the father is old, he is exhausted and his physical strength is not good... Perhaps only when you are old will you understand that for an elderly person, peace and peace are more important than anything else.

My father really can't do a big move and can't eradicate obstacles for you anymore.

It’s not that the father doesn’t want it, it’s that your mother and queen are standing there. How can you make your father make up your mind?

Zhao Zhen was very desolate and very helpless. He knew better than anyone else why Empress Cao jumped out. The reason was very obvious. He was old and Zhao Shu was not yet adult. Empress Cao had to seize power. Not only in the palace, but also outside the palace.

The old party and generals are all the strength that Empress Cao needs to seize. Only by mastering these people can Empress Cao have the weight of speaking.

From a certain perspective, Zhao Zhen even likes Empress Cao to do this. In private, he secretly lets the water off and gives Empress Cao more power. Only a strong empress dowager can protect Zhao Shu and not be bullied by powerful ministers, so that the Zhao family will not be lost... But the problem is that there are conflicts between the emperor and the empress dowager. Zhao Zhen had experienced a strong empress dowager in his early years, and he knew that it was not good to be suppressed.

Zhao Zhen’s situation is much more complicated and difficult than it seems.

Neither the left nor the right, this is the root of his pain.

Even when facing his son, Zhao Zhen could not express a word, but could only be buried deep in his heart.

"Your son, you are still young, and you just want to say something to your father. Don't talk too much about the court." After saying that, Zhao Zhen waved his hand powerlessly and signaled Zhao Shu to retreat. He closed his eyes and rested without saying a word.

Of course, Zhao Shu was unwilling to give up, but he had no choice but to leave the bedroom.

...

Wang Anshi is in danger!

This is the first thing Zhao Shu said when he saw Gou Yaer.

The father was unwilling to protect Wang Anshi, and the old-school figures would definitely put in full force and force Wang Anshi to stop his pretext.

In fact, they have already acted.

Wang Anshi's collision with Xuande Gate and his comments in front of the king were all spread.

Many people scolded Wang Anshi, saying that he was rude to the emperor, disrespectful to heaven, and fearing his ancestors. He was a bold and rebellious minister. If such dangerous people continued to be prime ministers, the Song Dynasty would be at risk of the country's destruction.

They also magnified the problems that Wang Anshi had innumerable magnification, and they poured dirty water at Wang Anshi like money!

Seeing the offensive of the court officials really made Zhao Shu frightened and shuddered.

Wang Anshi and Wang Erlang are different. He has been lectured for twenty years and is respected as a common scholar. He has a great influence among the scholars.

These people who wrote to write a letter to abuse Wang Anshi were probably Wang Anshi's little fans several years ago. In order to see Wang Xianggong's style, they could not even eat food and worship it intoxicatingly.

The same group of people regarded Wang Anshi as enemies a few years later, wishing to ruin Wang Anshi!

Zhao Shu once heard from his master that the so-called cynicism means not involving one's own interests, but Confucianism. When it involves one's own interests, it becomes a dog, a vicious dog!

Master really hit the nail on the head!

Literati are shameless and fierce!

"Pointing at them, being able to support the country is simply a dream!" Zhao Shu clenched his fists and said, "Gu will never look at them bullying Wang Xianggong...Gu, Gu wants to ask his gentleman to come back and let him protect Wang Xianggong!"
