Chapter 964

However, after the Emperor's grandmother said this, Zhao Xu could only continue according to her wishes. "The Emperor's grandmother, Su Xueshi, is a strong person, but he is loyal and upright. He never becomes biased just because he is in love with others or has evil with others."

"Even in the past, when my father was alive, and Mr. Anshi was determined to reform, Su Xueshu supported him. However, after seeing the harm of reform, he turned to oppose it. It can be seen that such a loyal and good minister who treats things and not people is originally a rare gift in my Song Dynasty."

"For the past few years, although Mr. Su is far away, he has been diligent and dedicated, loving the people..."

Gao Taotao looked at Zhao Xu standing in front of him and talking in surprise. He never expected that in the past, he was a young emperor who wanted to kill all the time with one blow to the old party. Now he was able to analyze and understand the character of his subjects so rationally.

He really grew up, and his maturity even made Gao Taotao feel as if he was the Emperor Shenzong, who was gradually matured in the late period of his reign and became more and more obvious in governing a big country like cooking a young man...

"Grandma of the Emperor...you, you are..." Zhao Xu, who was speaking freely, never expected that the Emperor of the Emperor's Emperor's Emperor's face would look at him for some reason, and tears fell on his face.

"It's okay, Lao Shi is fine, Lao Shi is happy. Seeing your mature appearance now, Lao Shi can't help but think of your father..." Gao Taotao seemed a little incoherent. Looking at Zhao Xu squatting in front of him with concern, his wrinkled hands gently stroked Zhao Xu's cheeks, and said with great emotion.

"You are the same as your father, but not very similar..."

After wiping away the tears from his face and calming down his excitement, Gao Taotao let out a long breath of turbid air in his chest, talking about some of the words hidden in the deepest part of his heart for so many years.

"Actually, your father looks like me the most, regardless of appearance or personality. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the relationship between Laozi and your father has not been harmonious..."

Zhao Xu looked at the emperor's grandmother in front of him in a little surprised. He really didn't expect that the emperor's grandmother would explain this to him.

There is an old saying that homosexual repulsion does not refer to gender, but to temperament. Gao Taotao always hopes that his son Emperor Shenzong Zhao Xu can be like his father Yingzong.

Although Emperor Yingzong was not a parent-child of Emperor Renzong, his temperament was quite similar to Emperor Renzong. His methods of governing the country were gentle and experienced. He was good at mediating the relationship between ministers and officials in the court. He was also deeply loved by the people and court officials.

But, the temperament of Emperor Shenzong is not as hiding needles as Emperor Yingzong. Instead, he looks like his mother, Gao Taotao, and has a strong personality. If you know what you are, even the nine-headed cow can't get it back.

The same is true for Gao Taotao's personality, which led to a sharp decline in the relationship between his parents and his son. Especially after ascending the throne, Zhao Xu decided not to carry out a coup in a gentle way like Emperor Renzong and his father Yingzong, but together with Wang Anshi, he wanted to use a more radical way to do it.

This is different from Gao Taotao's understanding. The repeated dissuasions caused fierce refutations from Emperor Shenzong, which led to the relationship between the two falling directly to freezing point.

However, in the late period of his reign, the defeat of Yongle City and the failure of the reform caused the Emperor Shenzong was unable to afford to be ill.

But at this time, the Emperor Shenzong, who had already understood in his wrong governance, was unwilling to admit his mistakes, while Gao Taotao thought his son was still so stubborn.

It was not until the last day of their lives that both sides let go of the grudges in their hearts, but it was too late. However, Gao Taotao firmly ruled out the peeping of the other two adult princes on the throne and firmly stood on the side of Zhao Xu's legitimate son Zhao Xu.

In the end, Zhao Xu was able to become the emperor of the Song Dynasty. However, because of his many years of disputes with his son and his childhood, Gao Taotao always felt that his grandmother had a gap with his father.

Moreover, he has always been stubbornly thinking that the father is the right one, which has also led to the continued tension between the relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren. In addition, those old and important officials who have already taken over the power of the new party deliberately flattered the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao. He belittled the Emperor Shenzong and raised the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao, the daughter of Yao and Shun.

This further led to the growing Zhao Xu's disgust towards the emperor's grandmother. It led to the state of power between the grandparents and grandchildren, which also made Gao Taotao feel exhausted.

Until Wang Yang's appearance, it was like a set of wonderful lubricants, which made the relationship between the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao, who was originally in a state of fire, and the emperor gradually confronted each other from the beginning.

As he slowly became an enemy, the growth and maturity of the emperor finally made Gao Taotao generously spread his authority. However, the increasingly mature emperor Zhao Xu gradually understood the painstaking efforts of the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao.

When the two formed a front alliance, they felt surprisingly harmonious. This is why the two were no longer the cold relationship between grandparents and grandchildren in the past, but more like the situation of the ancestors and grandchildren in ordinary families.

"You are strong and sensible. More importantly, after being impulsive, you can still be alert and accept words. This is something your father could not do in the early and mid-term of his rule."

"So, the Ai family is very optimistic about you, and they are more optimistic about you than your father." He patted Zhao Xu's big hand gently, and Gao Taotao said with relief.

"Grandmother, thank you for helping your grandson solve your doubts, so that your grandson can understand your good intentions, and also help you solve many misunderstandings about your grandson..."

Zhao Xu had already burst into tears at some point, but he never expected that there were so many misunderstandings between his father and his grandmother.

And I have so many misunderstandings about the emperor's grandmother. If it weren't for the time being with me over the past few days, I'm afraid I would never have known how much my grandmother had paid to the Song Dynasty, to her father and herself in her life.

#####

The relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren was one step closer because of their confession. The two did not forget that there was another major event that needed to be solved, that is, the position issue after Su Dongpo returned to Beijing.

"No one should object to the merits of Su Xueshi and his reputation as the prime minister. However, Liu Zhi has been in the position of prime minister for a long time. Although he has made great contributions, he was conscientious in office and has devoted a lot of effort to the country and country of the Song Dynasty."

After regaining his ideal, Gao Taotao pointed out the difficulty after Su Dongpo returned to Beijing, which was his position. However, the current position of prime minister of the Song Dynasty was held by Liu Zhi.

This Liu Zhi is not only the leader of the old party, but also has nothing to blame for his personality and even his lifestyle.

It is precisely because of this reason that Gao Taotao felt a little headache.
