Lu Dafang looked at Empress Dowager Gao's expression and had already guessed something.

After a moment of silence, he said in a hoarse voice, in a plain tone: "What did the official family say to the empress?"

Empress Dowager Gao was still thinking, and snorted, saying, "The official family has grown up."

Once you grow up, you should take charge of the government.

Lu Dafang understood and said, "What did the Empress say?"

Empress Dowager Gao looked at the mosquito net in front and said angrily: "What else can I say at this point?"

Of course, Empress Dowager Gao was angry, angry at her current incompetence and powerlessness.

Zhao Xu, who had mastered Kaifeng City, could have locked her in Cining Hall by taking advantage of her "sickness". It became a nominal matter to remove the curtains or not!

In other words, she can no longer retreat!

Lu Dafang didn't say anything, a gap appeared in his swollen eyes, and he looked at Empress Dowager Gao quietly.

Empress Dowager Gao never thought that her grandson was so bold, seized the opportunity so well, and did things so amazingly!

Empress Dowager Gao was angry and glanced at Lu Dafang and said, "What do you have to say?"

Lu Dafang raised his head a little and said, "It depends on the thoughts of the Empress and the official family."

Empress Dowager Gao opened her eyes and said, "Do you want me to remove the curtain?"

Lu Dafang was neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "It doesn't matter whether he removes the curtain or not. As long as the Empress is there, it is natural that everything will be listened to by the Empress."

Empress Dowager Gao understood in an instant, but was still angry and silent.

Her grandson has no foundation in the court and no one listens to him. As long as she and Lu Dafang are still there, they still have the final say in the court's series of big and small matters!

However, even if the curtain is removed is a symbol, for Empress Dowager Gao, who has been in power for seven years, it is still not something that can be easily determined or unacceptable!

Lu Dafang had no expression and bent and waited.

Empress Dowager Gao was silent for a long time and said, "What do you think?"

Lu Dafang seemed to say casually: "The country is the most important, and the feathers are light."

Empress Dowager Gao could understand and frowned at the mosquito net in front of her.

In her opinion, Wang Anshi's reforms caused chaos in the world and endangered the country and country of the Song Dynasty. During the Shenzong Dynasty, she and many people strongly opposed it and had a firm attitude.

At that time, Lu Dafang, Fan Chunren and others were exiled, but they would rather die than retreat, and eventually forced Wang Anshi to stop his prefect twice, and Emperor Shenzong retreated.

When Yuanyou arrived, she and Sima Guang and others won completely, exiled officials who supported the reform, abolished the so-called new policy, rectified the chaos, and began to repair the country that was disrupted by Wang Anshi and others.

Now, just seven years have passed, and the young official family wants to take this path again.

At that time, Lu Dafang and others would rather die than retreat. Now they step into the coffin with half their feet, so what reason is there to retreat?

The two were silent for unknown periods. Empress Dowager Gao turned to look at Lu Dafang and sighed: "The official has given me an ultimatum. After the wedding, we will withdraw the curtain and return the power. If I don't agree, I'm afraid that even the Cining Palace will not be able to get out."

Lu Dafang lowered his head and said decisively: "No. The official has a proper position and knows the importance of it."

Empress Dowager Gao looked sad and said, "No way? He pried open the inner treasury and took away the jade seal. The future memorials will not reach me."

Lu Dafang and Empress Dowager Gao have been 'cooperating' for many years and knows the old empress dowager very well. After a moment of silence, he said, "The Empress Dowager is still the Empress Dowager."

The meaning is very simple. Even if Empress Dowager Gao cannot leave the Cining Hall, even if the curtain is removed, they still believe in Empress Dowager Gao and adhere to their common way of governing the country.

Empress Dowager Gao was somewhat satisfied and said, "How to do it?"

Lu Dafang said: "The ancestors formed the law and the court rules, and everyone must abide by it, otherwise how can we win the trust of the people of the world?"

The "everyone" here also includes Zhao Xu, an official from the Song Dynasty.

Empress Dowager Gao relaxed a little, paused, and said, "For the sake of my great Song Dynasty, I can't say I'm going to be a villain. Zhou He sent a message to ask Meng Yuan to come back and replace the commander of the Guard Infantry Department. Feng Zhengyao was transferred to serve as the commander of the Guards and the Commander of the Ma Army Department, and said that I knew some things in the Imperial Guards and asked them to rectify them."

Zhou He seemed to not understand, lowered his head and whispered: "Yes."

Empress Dowager Gao looked at Lu Dafang again and said, "For things outside, especially the Sansi Yamen, please ask Lu Qing's family."

Lu Dafang slowly raised his hand, his voice hoarse and firm tone, and said, "Empress Do not worry, Empress."

Empress Dowager Gao glanced at him deeply and nodded slightly.

Lu Dafang stood with his hands, and there was no expression on his old face.

Empress Dowager Gao had a chat with Lu Dafang and made arrangements, and then he felt a little relieved.

The two continued to talk, and there were too many things happening inside and outside the palace.

At the same time, Zhao Xu left the Cining Hall and ordered the imperial guards to guard them and turn them back to Funing Hall.

Just as he sat down, before he could drink tea, Chenpi ran over anxiously and said, "There has been something wrong in the official family. Now, Su Che is rumored to be corruption, bribery, bribery, sell official positions, deduct, and resell military pay. It has spread throughout Kaifeng..."

The teacup that Zhao Xu had picked up was covered with a bang and then looked up at him suddenly, saying, "Have you found out?"

Chen Pi nodded and said, "The villain's life imperial city has checked it, it has a nose and eyes."

Zhao Xu held the teacup with a thoughtful look on his face.

Logically speaking, this kind of rumor is beneficial to him and can nail Su Che to death. But this news was not spread by him, so it is very interesting.

Is it someone who guessed his intentions and secretly tried to surrender? Is Su Che's political opponent taking action to kill him? Or is it a fight within the "old party"?

Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, then looked at Chenpi and said with a smile: "It's okay, let them pass it on, you ask the Imperial City Department to prepare. An experienced criminal detective, a good account checker, a veteran torture expert, and a large prison cell that can imprison hundreds of people."

Chenpi didn't understand, but didn't ask much, and said, "Yes, the villain will tell them to do it now."

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "The people in the Political Affairs Hall are still kneeling?"

Chenpi said: "Yes, there are imperial guards watching."

Zhao Xu then picked up the teacup and took a sip. After a sip of the tea, he was refreshed and said, "Grandma is sick and cannot leave the palace easily. Tell Liu Heng that in order not to disturb his grandmother's rest, from today on everyone, everyone needs my permission to enter and exit the Cining Palace, and everyone!"

Chenpi immediately understood and said with a tight scalp: "Yes."

Zhao Xu glanced at him and said, "Let the people in the Political Affairs Hall go back, don't delay the official business. Let me tell them that the court will start on the 29th."

Chen Pi couldn't help but lower her head, quietly glanced at Zhao Xu, suppressed her panic, and said, "Yes."

Zhao Xu took his expression in his eyes, laughed and said, "Don't worry. At this time, what are you afraid of?"

Chenpi blinked, suddenly felt relieved, and a smile appeared on her face.

Yes, the government has already mastered Kaifeng City, who can do what the government can do? The government is safe in the throne. As long as he does things with his heart, what else is there to be scary?

Zhao Xu looked up at the window, feeling that the sky was particularly bright today, so he couldn't help but stand up and said, "Let's go and see my mother."

Chenpi hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes."

As soon as the two of them went out one after another, they suddenly came forward to salute and muttered to Chenpi's ear.

Chen Pi's face changed slightly and she turned to Zhao Xu and said, "There are many people in the Secretariat who are quarreling with each other, asking the officials to severely punish Su Che and give the court a clean sanction."

The Secretariat of the Central Secretariat is the traditional territory of Lu Dafang.

Zhao Xu's original good mood disappeared immediately. Looking at the still sky, he didn't feel clear. He said to himself: "So, he is abandoning the car to protect the handsome... The three officials are so arrogant, and he is abandoned like this?"
