Chapter 1087 Fighting hard in court

Concubine Yang Shu lived under the rule of Empress Dowager Xie for such a long time. Even now, Empress Dowager Xie is afraid that she still has power in her heart, so she seems much more humble and polite than Zhao Dongting, and even her eyes are slightly red. She hurriedly walked forward and bowed to Empress Dowager Xie and said, "The Empress Dowager is auspicious."

He shouted to Queen Mother Quan again, "Sister."

All that can be obtained is just the cold snorting of Empress Dowager Quan.

This woman no longer cares about anything else. She probably just wants to vent her anger.

Zhang Ru and his girls also walked up to salute.

The royal relatives behind Empress Dowager Xie were still watching and neither bowed to Zhao Dongting nor planned to bow to Concubine Yang Shu.

"Everyone is exempt from gifts!"

Empress Dowager Xie's voice was still cold, and her eyes only fell on Concubine Yang Shu's face, which meant inexplicable.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

The eunuchs on the side knelt on the ground, quietly falling into the needle.

Zhao Dongting looked at Yang Shufei and the others' hot faces and put them on their cold butts, and was also a little angry and said, "Please go to the palace for a banquet!"

“No need.”

Empress Dowager Xie waved her hand and said, "I am tired and I want to go back to my bedroom to rest."

Zhao Dongting raised his eyebrows, said nothing more, but only ordered Eunuch Li, "Eunuch Li, take the Empress Dowager to the bedroom to rest."

Then his eyes fell on the other royal relatives, "Where are you?"

He couldn't even name these people.

"I will go to rest too."

Queen Mother Quan spoke coldly.

Then the royal relatives hesitated and watched each other.

Finally, some people said they wanted to go down and rest, while others did not speak.

Zhao Dongting had already arranged a residence for them, but at this moment, he just asked Eunuch Li to arrange for those who were going back to rest to leave. He took the rest to the hall.

Concubine Yang undoubtedly felt something and said to Empress Dowager Xie: "I will accompany the Empress Dowager!"

“No need.”

But Empress Dowager Xie still said this, like she was keeping people from thousands of miles away.

This made Yang Shufei sigh in her heart, and she could only say, "Then I and I went to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Dongting grabbed her hand and walked towards the hall.

The two gangs parted ways.

Concubine Yang Shu turned around repeatedly, and finally couldn't help but ask Zhao Dongting softly, "Why did Xier be so cold to the Empress Dowager and the others?"

Zhao Dongting just shook his head, "Don't ask too much now, my son will explain to his mother in the future."

Some words are futile even if you say too much now.

The attitude of Empress Dowager Xie and others after returning to the palace made Zhao Dongting realize that these people were actually not at ease.

Since this is the case, there is no need to fight.

After all, there is only one ruler in the Song Dynasty.

And it is necessary to fight, so why should you be too polite?

Behind, Empress Dowager Quan watched a royal relative following Zhao Dongting to the hall, and his eyes showed resentment.

Although there were only a few royal relatives who followed Zhao Dongting, this was undoubtedly a deep stimulation for her.

Her Xian'er is dead!

Why didn’t these people think of justice for her?

After arriving in the hall, Zhao Dongting did not seem very enthusiastic. He treated these royal relatives who suffered a lot on the Mongolian Plateau, but only had a few polite words of care.

The atmosphere of the banquet is naturally not very lively.

But the more this happens, the more these royal relatives gradually become respectful to him.

The more arrogant Zhao Dongting appears, the more confident these people feel that he is. And these people actually don’t care about Zhao Dongting’s attitude towards them at all.

They just want to be able to stand in the right team.

In short, no matter what, it is difficult for the throne to fall on them.

After suffering these years on the Mongolian Plateau, they only hope to continue to be supported by the court and spend their lives happily.

Years of tragic experience have caused great changes in the mood of many people.

After the banquet ended, Zhao Dongting asked someone to remove the food and drinks and asked, "Do you have any plans to continue to be an official in the court?"

Through this banquet, he probably got to know all the people present.

They are just some relatives of the foreigners or royal relatives who were in power at the time. In terms of their blood relationship with Zhao Dongting, they cannot be considered a true royal family.

Because the mentally retarded emperor Zhao Feng was adopted by him, he was not considered a legitimate brother from his previous brothers. So there was actually not even a prince among these people.

After hearing Zhao Dongting's words, only two people expressed their intention to serve the court.

Zhao Dongting did not disappoint them, nor did he overjoy them. Neither of these two people was able to regain their posts. Although their official titles were not low, their real power was very small.

The rest of the people are just given the title of royal relatives. They probably will never hold authority again in this life.

This is all their own request. Zhao Dongting felt that he had done his best and righteousness, so these people should not have any complaints.

After everyone left, Zhao Dongting followed Concubine Yang Shu, Le Chan and his girls to the harem.

It is necessary to pay tribute to Empress Dowager Xie.

He can be a little arrogant, but if he doesn't even go to pay his respects, it will cause rumors in the court. At that time, the assassination of Zhao Xian will only make a bigger deal.

As expected, the news of Zhao Xian's assassination had spread at this time.

Along the way, Concubine Yang seemed a little worried.

She was familiar with Zhao Dongting's temperament and also knew the strength of Empress Dowager Xie. It was vaguely expected that there would be a confrontation between the two.

After all, Zhao Dongting looks quite young now, and Empress Dowager Xie may not be willing to be a idle Empress Dowager.

Didn’t she accidentally indulge in power?

Go to Xiangqing Palace.

This palace was specially prepared by Zhao Dongting after he learned that Empress Dowager Xie and others were about to return to the court.

He did a very thoughtful job on the surface.

There are already guards guarding outside.

Zhao Dongting and his group stopped at the palace gate. Zhao Dongting said, "Go in and tell the Empress Dowager that I and the Empress Dowager come to pay their respects."

The imperial guards received the order and hurriedly ran towards Xiangqing Palace.

Zhao Dongting suddenly felt a little funny, and didn't know if Empress Dowager Xie would see him.

It's best not to see.

If he didn't see him, he would still be his Emperor of Song. And Empress Dowager Xie would do whatever he did in this harem.

But the guards ran out quickly and said, "Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, please come in."
