Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

"The queen is unworthy of her position! Not only is she jealous in the palace, but she also connives with her descendants to obstruct the new law. I sincerely ask the officials to abolish the queen!"

Above the court, the new party had no choice but to directly impeach Queen Meng.

"Officials must not do this!"

Lu Dafang quickly stopped him.

"Empress Meng is a virtuous and virtuous woman who has never been jealous. In order to bring prosperity to the royal family, she even gave nearly thirty concubines to the official family. How could such a magnanimous queen be jealous?"

Lu Dafang quickly defended Queen Meng. Queen Meng was elected by the old party and was the representative of the old party in the palace. Naturally, the old party strongly supported her.

"As for the Meng family doing many illegal things, I'm afraid it's nonsense!" Yang Wei tried his best to defend himself. Similar things are common in wealthy families. Why is it that everyone in the Meng family calls for beatings? What's the reason? Of course, there is no need to say more. Of course, Yang Wei cannot say these words clearly.

Zhang Dun snorted coldly and said: "There is a mountain of irrefutable evidence. The weapons case endangered the safety of the Song Dynasty. The Meng family's descendants relied on the name of relatives of the emperor and did many illegal things. There are witnesses and physical evidence. As a descendant of the Meng family, not only Not thinking about serving the country, but taking the lead in endangering the court and obstructing the new law is actually an added crime."

Zhao Xu was immediately furious. The Song Dynasty had been at a disadvantage in foreign wars for many years and attached great importance to armaments. However, as a Taiwei, Meng Yuan actually let soldiers wear inferior armor to fight. Regardless of whether he participated in it or not, he could not escape his responsibility.

Not to mention that the new law was the foundation for the prosperity of the Song Dynasty. Although the Meng family allowed their children to annex wantonly, they also took the lead in opposing the new law, which directly violated Zhao Xu's bottom line.

"Come here, remove Meng Yuan from the post of Taiwei. All the lawless children of the Meng family will be handed over to the three divisions for trial."

Zhao Xu said angrily.

Revitalizing the Song Dynasty and implementing the new law were his greatest obsessions. He was now ruthlessly attacking the Meng family in order to frighten those in the world who dared to obstruct the new law.

"The officials are wise!"

Everyone in the new party bowed.

The Meng family does not have much influence in the old party, but its position is extremely special. Once the Meng family is captured, there will be no resistance to the implementation of the new law.

However, it was not difficult to win over the Meng family. After all, the new party used calculated calculations and preemptive strikes to quickly win over the Meng family's ironclad evidence. However, it was very difficult to depose Queen Meng.

Not to mention that in the court, the old party immediately blocked it, and even the medical party did not support the abolition of the queen. After all, there was no real evidence for Empress Meng's jealousy. It was only based on a few fights and Concubine Liu Xian's crying. The new party was not enough to make Meng Meng. The queen dismounted.

After going to court, the news about the court immediately spread throughout the harem.

"The Meng family has lost power! Queen Meng will be deposed!"

For a moment, the palace was shocked.

Queen Meng's appearance was not extremely beautiful, and she was older than the official family. More importantly, Queen Meng was married to the official family by Empress Dowager Gao. Now that Empress Dowager Gao has long since lost her power, Queen Meng's biggest backer has also fallen. .

Not to mention that Taiwei Meng Yuan has been dismissed from his post, the Meng family has been investigated again, and another of Queen Meng's main supporters has also fallen. Now Queen Meng has completely lost power.

In the harem, Zhao Xu is in high spirits!

Empress Meng was the queen chosen by Empress Dowager Gao, and she had never been liked by him. What he really loved was the versatile and beautiful Concubine Liu Xian.

When Empress Dowager Gao was in power, he could not resist. Now that he has taken control of the power, he is naturally able to choose a queen of his choice.

"The Queen Mother is here!"

Just when Zhao Xu was secretly making a decision, a sudden announcement woke him up.

"Sure enough, it's still here!"

Zhao Xu suddenly thought. Ever since he had the idea of ​​deposing the Queen, he knew that there was one person who would definitely oppose it, and that was the Queen Mother Xiang.

"Officials, think twice! The Queen is virtuous and virtuous, and everyone in the palace has heard about it. How can we depose the Queen so easily?" As soon as Empress Dowager Xiang came in, she strongly opposed deposing the Queen.

Empress Dowager Xiang had also been a queen, so she naturally knew that maintaining the queen's dignity was to maintain her dignity. If Empress Meng was easily deposed, her status as empress dowager would no longer have much authority.

From this point of view, the interests of Queen Mother Xiang and Queen Meng are consistent.

Zhao Xu frowned and said, "My aunt should have heard about the Meng family. If the Meng family had been loyal to our family and served the country, why would I be worried today?"

The Xiang family has always been the pride of Empress Dowager Xiang. She is not Zhao Xu's biological mother. In order to avoid suspicion, she has always suppressed her natal family from becoming officials. Although the Xiang family is dissatisfied, they also know the situation of Empress Dowager Xiang. They mostly act cautiously and have strict tutoring.

Empress Dowager Xiang could not help but show a hint of pride and said: "Although the Meng family has made mistakes, the queen has been in the palace all year round, so how can she know about the Meng family's affairs."

Empress Dowager Xiang was not trying to excuse Empress Meng, but was deeply touched by the fact that the harem was inherently separated from the outside world. Although the empress had greater authority, it was extremely difficult to leave the palace. How could Empress Meng know about the illegal activities of the Meng family? .

A trace of helplessness appeared on Zhao Xu's face and he said: "I will carefully consider my aunt's opinion."

After Queen Mother Xiang left, Princess Zhu came one after another.

"Why does the mother-in-law have time to look after the child?" Zhao Xu asked in surprise.

Concubine Zhu is Zhao Xu's biological mother. However, Concubine Zhu has a weak personality. Even though her son has taken over the power personally, she still keeps a low profile.

Concubine Zhu looked at her son with pity and said, "Concubine Mother came here today because she heard that you wanted to abolish the queen. Concubine Mother also likes the Meng family. Officials should not be impulsive."

Although Queen Meng is not the best in appearance, she has no shortcomings in other aspects. She is the best choice for her daughter-in-law. As for the coquettish Concubine Liu Xian, she is naturally not liked by the conservative Concubine Zhu.

Zhao Xu was silent for a moment and said: "My child, another reason why I want to depose the queen is to complain about my mother and concubine."

"Against me?" Concubine Zhu asked puzzledly.

A trace of unwillingness flashed in Zhao Xu's eyes and he said: "My child is now the emperor, but my mother can only be named a concubine. She has not enjoyed the honorific title of queen so far. My mother is still like this. I don't want my child's mother to suffer like this."

He was poisoned by cotton oil. The doctors found a microscope and left one in the imperial hospital. He once asked the imperial doctor to examine his body and concluded that it would be difficult for him to have any more children. As a result, Concubine Liu Xian gave birth to He gave birth to his son Zhao Mao, who is most likely his only heir.

His mother had never been a queen in her life, and she was not treated well by Empress Dowager Gao in the palace, which made him extremely dissatisfied. He himself had been exposed to rain, so naturally he did not want his son Zhao Mao to experience the same thing as him.

If he didn't take advantage of this opportunity, it would be difficult for him to get rid of the queen in the future. He wanted to solve the problem for his son once and for all.

However, Mrs. Zhu said softly: "My mother has never thought about the position of queen. Back then, my mother was just a little imperial attendant. She is very satisfied to be favored by the late emperor."

Zhu has a gentle and respectful personality. Even Empress Dowager Gao, who was harsh to her in the past, never holds grudges or interferes in government affairs, and she does not care about her position as queen.

Zhu gave Empress Meng some kind words and advised Zhao Xu before leaving.

First, Empress Dowager Xiang, and then Empress Dowager Zhu, both opposed the abolition of the empress.

Suddenly, Zhao Xu's thoughts were greatly reduced after he was deposed.

"The Empress Dowager Xiang and Concubine Zhu oppose the abolition of the empress! What should we do?" Wang Di said anxiously after hearing the news.

Empress Dowager Xiang is the current empress dowager, and Dowager Zhu is the biological mother of the official family. There is no doubt that the two have influence on the harem, which is enough to change the decision-making of the official family.
