Gao Taotao re-activated Fan Chunren, but the country continued to decline and the court was not peaceful. Gao Taotao fell ill in disappointment.

It happened that Zhao Xu was close to him and Di Yong, as the father-in-law, brought him more than 4,000 officers and soldiers from Hebei. Zhao Xu was afraid of something unexpected, so he asked Di Yong's subordinates to replace the original guards.

Some ministers opposed it, but Zhao Xu refused to listen.

At this time, Zhao Xu was extremely grateful to his father and Wang Ju. It was their arrangement that Di Yong was particularly large. The officers and soldiers of the tenth battalion, the cavalry of the third battalion, and the infantry of the seventh battalion were just enough to meet the needs of the palace guards.

However, there is another key that has not been solved, that is, the province of the inner eunuch and the province of the inner eunuch, also known as the front and rear provinces, which is the eunuch department of the palace. Among them, the most important thing is to enter the inner eunuch.

So Zhao Xu sent his confidant Xiaohuangmen to Hongzhou with a secret edict, asking Li Xiang, who was supervising alcohol in Hongzhou to secretly return to the capital immediately.

After receiving the secret edict, Li Xiang understood and deliberately pretended to be sick. He bribed some of his subordinates to cover it up for him. Then he quietly rode his horse and quickly headed north. After coming to the capital, he was immediately appointed as the minister of the eunuch by Zhao Xu. At this time, Zhao Xu felt that he felt safe.

The news immediately reached the ears of several prime ministers, and Fan Chunren and others were stunned. What was the little emperor trying to do? Do you want to kill his grandma?

So everyone gathered and forcibly broke into the inner palace.

Gao Taotao said behind the curtain: "The old woman is about to die. In recent years, she has blessed the holy man, and has been merely pursuing her own efforts and mere hearts. She just wants to not lose her foundation in the martyrs and bless the peace of the Song Dynasty. I wonder if the officials know it? My husband and the world know it."

Zhao Xu replied respectfully: "Grandmother, grandson knows it."

But his hand clenched into a fist.

Actually, it’s okay. If it weren’t for Wang Ju, even though Zhao Xu took power under Gao Taotao’s struggle, his health would have completely collapsed. But even with Wang Ju’s arrangement, Zhao Xu has been tormented by Gao Taotao in recent years and cannot practice the Five Animal Play. Even the dozens of policy statements left by Wang Ju were burned by the eunuch, and he didn’t even dare to speak casually!

Gao Taotao continued, "I was promoted to the palace to the government because I was entrusted by the Emperor Wuzong on his deathbed. Several years have passed. Tell me what I have given my parents' family what benefits did I give? Just because I want to be fair, I died one son and one daughter, but I didn't see him (referring to Zhao Xu's fourth brother Zhao Pei and the eldest daughter Princess Chen, because they became adults, they had to open a palace outside the imperial city or get married. Gao Taotao was unable to leave the palace, so he died, so Gao Taotao could not pay his condolences in person)."

Then he talked about her many contributions, and Lu Dafang and other ministers followed suit. Zhao Xu became more and more angry as he heard it. Finally, he couldn't help but say, "Dafang is waiting!"

Grandma's, the Song Dynasty has been tormenting like this, and there is still the face of boasting about each other here!

Soon Gao Taotao passed away.

The Song Dynasty court suddenly became very quiet, and no one quarreled. Zhao Xu didn't say a word for more than a month. Fan Zuyu couldn't help it, so he wrote a letter, "Your Majesty, no matter who you want to use, you must start from the perspective of the country (don't think about it randomly, and use the new party again, we don't agree). The great Empress Dowager died, and he must order the people not to discuss the right and wrong of the Heavenly Saints, to ensure the stability of the political situation, and to maintain the reputation of the Empress Dowager, and to fully possess the reputation of Renzong's benevolence and filial piety.

The memorial was handed over to the palace, but the news came that Zhao Xu had activated six eunuchs, which was inevitable. When the king was handed over, especially the inner palace, it must be controlled. Li Xiang alone could not control the two provinces.

Fan Zuyu became even more anxious. The trend was not good. He wrote letters repeatedly, but only heard a thunderous news. Zhang Dun was also transferred from Yingzhou to the capital by Zhao Xu using a secret order.

Zhang Dun's departure could not be concealed by the officials of Yingzhou, but as soon as the emperor took power, he appointed Zhang Dun. The official in Yingzhou dared to report to the prime ministers in the capital, so Zhang Dun was soon to arrive in the capital and was learned by the ministers in the court.

All the big guys were anxious. Lu Tao and a large group of ministers kept writing letters, "Your Majesty, you can't do this. Why? If you want to appoint a prime minister, you must use the official imperial edict from the court, that is, the emperor issued an edict, or wrote cursive script. After deliberation by the two-system officials or subordinates, you can rewrite the book before it can become an edict.

It would be fine if you use this secret edict to appoint an eunuch, but if you appoint a prime minister, this appointment is invalid.

But no matter how much they made a fuss, Zhao Xu did not respond. On the contrary, Zhao Xu asked Di Yong to send a personal guard to welcome Zhang Dun in person, so as not to have an unexpected accident on the way.

Fan Chunren said sadly, "Don't argue."

Force the emperor to this point is even more excessive than Han Qi forcing Zhao Xu back then. If you continue to fight, would you want to take the emperor off?

Seeing that the situation was not good, Su Dongpo plucked his legs and left the capital.

He could escape, Fan Chunren and Lu Dafang could not escape, and Zhang Dun came to the capital. Regardless of his face, the ministers came to Dongshuimen Wharf one by one to welcome Zhang Dun's return. Zhang Dun looked at the shameless ministers and said nothing, just laughed twice.

With the imperial edict issued by the court, Cai Que, Zhang Shangying, Li Qingchen and others were transferred back to the capital one after another. Zhang Shangying received the imperial edict delivered by the court with his special foot. Before the person left, he handed over the memorial. Wuzong's great virtues and great achievements were all corrupted by a traitor. Therefore, I asked the court to seal all the documents of the various departments in the capital together. Without my order, no one could be transferred to check the Qing traitor and loyalty of every official.

Prepare to liquidate.

Moreover, the Shuo Party did something that was so angry that people were resentful. Zhang Jian went to Beijing to report his duties and reported the whole story to the court. Zhu Gai couldn't wait and came to Huating in person to investigate.

In Huating, he accidentally fell in love with a shou named Lanlan, and was very kind. He stayed in her hall for more than ten days, and then returned to Xiuzhou.

The county magistrate Wang saw another opportunity. Under his instigation, Lanlan took his maid to find Duan Tianshui, and I also wanted to find the land.

Unlike Zhang Jian who is good at dancing with long sleeves, Duan Tianshui is not so active. He was so happy when he heard this. You are just a prostitute, not Liu E's trick, but a real prostitute. Why should you ask me for land?

And it is the other gentry. Although they allocated a lot of arable land, they all bought it in disguise with money. You are a little prostitute, and you don’t give up anything. Why do you ask me for dozens of hectares of plowing land?

In anger, he beat Lanlan fifty times and dragged her out.

After stabbing the hornet's nest, Lan Lan ran to Zhu Gai and cried. Zhu Gai was furious and immediately took Duan Tianshui to Xiuzhou Prefecture Office for the charge of conspiring with the "rebel" Wang Ju, and beat him up.

For the sake of river engineering, Duan Tianshui has worked hard in recent years and is in poor health. He was beaten to death after a fierce beating.

However, in order to cover up his charge, Zhu Gai continued to send people to the thirty merchants' homes to arrest him. However, the thirty merchants were not at home, so he arrested the servants in their homes and forced them to confess with severe torture. No, right!

Zhang Jian returned to Huating County under this situation, but he was very smart. When he heard the relevant news, he immediately hid and used the local gentry's relationship to find out the relevant truth. However, he did not dare to say anything. He was about to "flee to the other side" when he heard the changes in the court.

Therefore, at the risk of arresting Liangzhe Road, he sneaked back to the capital and attacked the news and drums to make trouble.

After seeing the memorial sent by Zhang Dun, Zhao Xu immediately summoned all the important officials and said furiously: "I used only a little material from the court, and almost relying on my own strength to repair and dredge such a huge water conservancy that benefits the country and the people, leaving only the last thirty miles. Such a hero of the country and the dignified county lord Bo, was forced to death by a prostitute. Lu Dafang, what happened to the Song Dynasty in the past few years!"
