Chapter 80 This is an opportunity
Song Shenzong was really popular and was full of anger. This plan is likely to be successful. Once it is successful, the Song Dynasty may rise up and return to the peak of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Although it is impossible to achieve it overnight, at least this foundation has been established, but it only takes time.
It was such a major thing that Empress Dowager Cao actually wanted to intervene and use high pressure to ask him to give up. Is it tolerant?
"Let go! Let go!" Song Shenzong was furious and rushed towards the queen and shouted: "If you don't let go, I will punish you!"
Empress Dowager Gao also pulled him, but that was his own mother. Song Shenzong could not have fired her, so he could only rush towards the queen. Xiang Empress did not let go, but said, "Official family, even if you want to throw me into the cold palace, I can't let go."
"Do you think I really don't dare to instigate you to the cold palace? You are my queen, and I have to decide what I want to deal with!" Song Shenzong was angry and roared even louder.
"Xu'er, you can't go!" Empress Dowager Gao spoke at the right time and comforted him: "Xu'er, if you rush there, the consequences will be unimaginable. Have you ever thought about it? Why did the Empress Dowager let us mothers come? She was sinister. If you go there, she could cure your sins openly!"
This makes sense. Empress Gao is the mother of Song Shenzong, and Empress Xiang is the queen of Song Shenzong. As soon as these two people came forward, they gave Empress Dowager Cao a reason to be upright and openly. No one said anything to rule Song Shenzong.
The reason is so convincing: your mother and your wife are both opposing you. Is there any reason for not curing your sins?
"The official family, the queen said it well, you can't go. You must be calm, calm, and not be reckless!" Queen Xiang was busy agreeing.
"Well! I should be calm! Be calm! Calm down!" Song Shenzong was also a sensible person. He understood the pros and cons and forced himself to calm down. Slowly, Song Shenzong's angry mood finally calmed down.
"Huh!" Empress Dowager Gao and the queen let out a long sigh, and their hearts were relieved.
"You guys, why didn't she come forward in person? Instead, she asked her mother and queen to come?" Song Shenzong calmed down and began to think.
"Official family, aren't you asking this knowingly? This is her usual behavior. If she wants to do things, she always chooses someone to command her, and she will not show up." Queen Xiang knew Empress Cao's character very well and revealed the mystery in one word.
"Wife, say less!" Although Empress Gao agreed with the words of Queen Xiang, she could not say them clearly, and she could only understand them in her heart.
"No! No! No!" Song Shenzong shook his head and said, "The reason why she didn't show up was that she was scruples, and she was not willing to make a fuss. Well, that's all, why did she suddenly ask about this? Yes, someone said bad things! Which traitor is this? He dares to stumbling against me? I want him to look good!"
Empress Dowager Gao saw Song Shenzong's indignation and was very worried, saying, "Xu'er, the Empress Dowager has already asked, you have to go there, talk about it carefully, and expose this matter."
"You must go to grandmother's place, but you can't go like this!" Song Shenzong's eyes turned, and it became brighter and brighter. Suddenly, his hands slammed together heavily and shouted: "I have it! I have it!"
"Xu'er, look at how you are like an emperor like this? You're like a child." Empress Dowager Gao saw it and rolled her eyes. Song Shenzong was not as majestic as Emperor Mu Mu, and his face was filled with joy. He almost jumped up.
Song Shenzong did not speak, but shook his hand and said with a smile: "I am confused. I almost made a mistake in this urgent situation. In fact, this is a huge opportunity. Hehe, if I use it well for me, it is unknown that my grandmother will no longer interfere from now on."
Listening to Song Shenzong's words, Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang were unclear, so they wanted to ask but couldn't ask.
"Mother, Queen, I need your help." Song Shenzong looked at the two of them with a smile on his face.
"Xu'er, just tell me if you have something to do. Mother will help you no matter what." It is natural for Empress Dowager Gao to do things for Song Shenzong.
"Official family, you give an order!" For Empress Xiang, she and Song Shenzong are one. If Song Shenzong's status is unstable, she will not have any good results, and it is unavoidable to help Song Shenzong.
"We will do this..." Song Shenzong said his thoughts.
Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang couldn't help but be surprised by Mo Ming. They opened their eyes wide and stared at Song Shenzong with disbelief.
"This is aggrieved by the mother!" Song Shenzong knelt down and kowtowed to Empress Dowager Gao.
"Xu Er, get up quickly. If you can really get rid of this kind of illness, your mother will go through fire and water, and you will do whatever you want!" Empress Dowager Gao hurriedly helped Song Shenzong up.
In Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Cao frowned, a little impatient, and asked: "Why don't Empress Gao and Empress Xiang have gone back and forth? One is the mother and the other is the queen. Could it be that they are in harmony? Humph! You are the closest relatives, so I don't believe it. You have the courage to fight with me!"
"Woooooo!"
At this moment, a whimpering cry came from outside the hall. I heard the crying sound very sad, as if there was something so sad. To be precise, it was almost the same as the sky collapsed.
"Who is crying outside? Well, it's the official family!" Empress Dowager Cao heard it. It was Song Shenzong's voice, and she couldn't help but be surprised: "How can the official family cry in his life? How can he cry in his life?"
She had imagined many results, and the biggest possibility was that Song Shenzong came to argue with her angrily, and that it was exactly what she wanted. Even if she had not yet deposed Song Shenzong, she would take this opportunity to suppress Song Shenzong.
However, what she never expected was that Song Shenzong would cry, and was still outside her palace, so she could not help but be curious.
"It must be that he was scared. Humph, I happened to take this opportunity to let him know the greatness." Empress Dowager Cao made a judgment and shouted: "Come here! Ask the official family to cry elsewhere! I must be quiet here and don't disturb my body!"
The palace maid in the post responded and walked out quickly. Not long after, the palace maid hurried in and reported to Empress Dowager Cao in a panic: "Report to the Empress Dowager, big things are not good! Big things are not good!"
"Useless thing! Say! What happened?" Empress Dowager Cao exclaimed, and was not angry and threatened.
"Report to the Empress Dowager, the official said that he would abdicate, please decide!" The palace maid was frightened and said carefully.
"What? Abdicate?" Empress Dowager Cao was shocked and stood up suddenly, her eyes widening, and she didn't believe it at all.
As he thought, even if she suppressed her, Song Shenzong would work hard for her throne. No matter how much the price she paid, even if she abolished Wang Anshi and abolished the new law, she would be ignored. However, she did not expect that Song Shenzong would abdicate.
Even if Empress Dowager Cao had the intention to abolish Song Shenzong, she would not have been abolished because of Song Shenzong's abdication. She wanted to abolish Song Shenzong in a righteous and open manner. Besides, she had no intention of abolishing Song Shenzong at all, but just wanted to knock and make Song Shenzong obedient.
When she heard this, she would not be shocked. Once this matter was said, her reputation would plummet and she would end up with a bad reputation that would force the emperor.
"How could he think so?" Empress Dowager Cao was really scared and rushed out like a flying man. As soon as he left the palace, he saw Song Shenzong kneeling on the ground, Empress Gao and Empress Xiang knelt with Song Shenzong, and the three of them couldn't help but shed tears.
What surprised her even more was that Song Shenzong did not wear a dragon robe or a crown, and wore an ordinary dress and held the crown, dragon robe and seal in his hands, which clearly looked like he was about to abdicate.
Empress Dowager Cao thought it was just a joke. Seeing this scene, Song Shenzong didn't seem to be doing it, but seemed to be serious.
"Xu'er, what's wrong with you? OK, how crazy are you?" Empress Dowager Cao quickly came over and wanted to help Song Shenzong.
However, Song Shenzong was desperate and kept kowtowing: "I was unfilial to my grandson Zhao Xu, who was guilty of death!" He kowtowed very hard, and a few green bags appeared on his forehead.
Although Song Shenzong was not the grandson of Empress Dowager Cao and had no blood relationship, she did not dislike Song Shenzong. When she saw that Song Shen was injured, she couldn't help but feel pity. She wiped Song Shenzong's forehead with her sleeve and kept shouting: "Send it to the Imperial Doctor!"
The palace maid responded and was about to go to the imperial physician. Empress Dowager Cao suddenly woke up and said that this matter could not be revealed or passed on to the imperial physician. She called the palace maid and asked, "Official family, what are you saying? Where do you start?"
"Report to my grandmother, my grandson deserves to be punished, I must not, I must not, I have issued an order for the border troops to go deep into the Liao territory to plunder, causing a heinous disaster. The Liao Kingdom is about to launch a large army to fight south, and my grandson is helpless. In order to relieve the safety of the Song Dynasty, my grandson is willing to abdicate and enter Liao Kingdom alone to forgive the crime. I also asked my grandmother to choose another virtuous person!" Song Shenzong wanted to kowtow again, but he was dragged to Empress Dowager Cao desperately.
"Oh! My good grandson, what a big deal?" Song Shenzong calculated her character accurately. As Song Shenzong expected, he heard Empress Dowager Cao say: "When talking about the Liao people, it makes people angry. It has been suppressed by the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years and plundered for hundreds of years. What's wrong with you plundering the Liao Kingdom once? Don't mention plundering once, even if you plunder a hundred times, it's also retribution!"
In this case, Empress Dowager Cao would never blame Song Shenzong, and could only exonerate and then excuse him.
"Thank you grandmother's advice!" Song Shenzong laughed in his heart, but on the surface he looked very nervous and terrified: "But, Liaogou will come in a fierce battle, and the soldiers will cause trouble, and the world will be uneasy. If he can stop the world's soldiers, why should his grandson cherish the throne?"
Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Husband hurriedly kowtowed, saying that they were guilty of death and begging Empress Dowager Cao to be kind.
"Don't cause trouble." Empress Dowager Cao glared at Empress Dowager Gao and scolded the Queen, "Xu Er, don't mention this matter! If you really want to do this, the face of Song Dynasty will not be lost? Xu Er, don't worry, grandmother will support you! Even if you beat him up, grandmother will support you!"
Under such circumstances, Empress Dowager Cao had to say that. Can she still agree?
"But..." Song Shenzong hesitated and couldn't say anything.
"Xu'er, get up first, let's go in and talk." Empress Dowager Cao pulled Song Shenzong up, and then asked Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang to get up, and went into the Cining Hall together.
