    Because Qiao Mu had Zhao Dun¡¯s support behind her, all her orders were carried out truthfully, even if the great scholars wanted to dissuade her, there was nothing they could do.

    As a result, Zhao Kuo lived the most difficult and difficult six months since his birth.

    Every morning, when it's just dawn, I have to go out and work on the nearest farm nearby. The food and drink expenses are similar to those of ordinary farmers, with wild vegetables and rice. This is already the treatment of the farm laborers in the imperial village. Ordinary landowners  I'm afraid even the farmhands in my family won't be able to live like this.

    In the morning, he did farm work for half a day. In the afternoon, he had to travel around Lin'an City with the supervision personnel sent by Qiao Mu to see the various livelihoods of the people in Lin'an City and understand the hardships of the people. After seeing all of Lin'an City, he had to go to Lin'an.  Check out the villages on the edge of the city.

    This is what he has to do in the afternoon. In the evening, he has to stay up late and read the books that Qiao Mu brought for him. In fact, they are books rather than files, one after another from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Personnel.  The files that were retrieved include not only all kinds of corruption, bribery and harm done by corrupt officials that have been found over the years, but also the number of victims of natural disasters in the past years and the specific tragic conditions during the disaster. In short, it is very tragic.  That¡¯s it.

    As for the effect, of course there is.

    How to describe it, when he was first asked to read those files, he would either gnash his teeth and curse those officials all night long, and sometimes dream about killing those officials, or he would have nightmares all night long.  I dreamed that the people described in the files who starved to death and were killed by officials came to him in their dreams to demand compensation for their lives.

    In short, he had a very difficult time in the first half month, but after half a month, he has obviously matured a lot, and is no longer as naive as before. Many times, many things are no longer forced by others, but  I did it on my own volition, and even tried what it was like to work as a coolie at the dock, etc.

    Although Zhao Kuo has not tried all the trades in the past six months, he has tried many trades and many trades he has seen, and has experienced various difficulties. At the same time, there are also some people who can understand the idea of ??killing officials and rebelling.  What's on your mind?  Because sometimes, for example, when he was exhausted from carrying a bunch of things on his back and saw many people in a restaurant not far away enjoying a drink, he also had the sudden urge to kill someone.

    He just suffered for a little while and saw others enjoying it, and he already had such thoughts. What's more, he suffered for a lifetime, and even three generations of his descendants suffered for three generations. At the same time, he also saw corrupt officials taking advantage of them.  What about the people, the people who make it impossible for them to survive?

    In just half a year, Zhao Kuo's whole person has changed a lot from the inside out, from his spirit to his appearance. He has become darker and stronger, and he has become less like the man worshiped by this era.  The demeanor of a scholar has become a bit like a military commander that civilian officials are ashamed of and despise. His energy and energy are not as leisurely and gentle as before, but more resolute and firm, and his overall emotions and outlook have begun to feel a bit different.  Preferring generals.

    This change is naturally a surprise for Qiao Mu and Zhao Dun, and it is also a joyful thing for the generals. However, for the majority of civil servants, this is bad news, and it is a news that makes them feel that their future is hopeless.  , the sad news that the future of the Song Dynasty is hopeless, in their view, it seems that only they civil servants can govern the world and save the Song Dynasty.

    But they never thought about how corrupt the Song Dynasty court was under their governance.

    Of course, those civil servants can't cause any trouble for the time being. At most, they can accuse the prince of not doing his job properly, etc. However, the prince's sloppiness was only discussed and agreed by Qiao Mu and Zhao Dun. How can those civil servants make excuses?  What's the use? Just pile it aside and light it on fire when the time comes.

    Soon, half a year has passed. After more than half a year of noisy and tossing, Zhao Dun also fought with those officials for more than half a year, and the New Year is finally here.

    "It's a pity that although Zhao Kuo has gained a lot in the past six months, and Qiao Mu and Zhao Dun are also very happy with his changes, this year still hasn't been a good year.

    Because the Empress Dowager passed away.

    On December 30, the eighth year of Shaoxi¡¯s reign, two days before Yuan Day, Gao Zong¡¯s wife, Empress Dowager Wu, passed away!

    He is eighty-three years old!

    Even if she is not her biological grandmother, she is still the Empress Dowager, so she has to abide by all the rules. Therefore, this year is naturally not very good, but fortunately, the Empress Dowager passed away before Yuan Day, so it does not count.  It affects the Chinese New Year very much, and it only affects the Yuan Day. If it were later, I am afraid that even the people of this dynasty would not be able to celebrate the New Year, because the death of the Empress Dowager can also be regarded as a national mourning, and the people have to observe the national filial piety for seven days. If they really live  to exceptIf Xi dies again, I'm afraid not many will be satisfied.

    ¡°Some things, as long as they affect everyone¡¯s interests, even if everyone doesn¡¯t say anything because of fear, who will be happy and satisfied in their hearts?

    Therefore, the death of the Empress Dowager was at the right time, and she was not disliked or dissatisfied by others.

    After another two years, Queen Mother Xie passed away.

    The three mountains in the palace completely collapsed, and Qiao Mu and Zhao Dun were completely liberated. One officially took full control of all areas and personnel in the harem, and the other formally took full control of the court. The main war faction began to have an absolute advantage.

    However, time did not wait for Zhao Dun.

    The following year, on October 8, the eleventh year of Shaoxi, Zhao Dun was seriously ill. Qiao Mu officially began to listen to the government behind the curtain and secretly dispatched troops and generals to prepare for the siege of Lin'an. After ten years of planning and preparation, nothing happened.  Ten years of preparation is finally coming to an end. This is a big gamble, and it is also a big gamble that will almost never fail. At least in the early stage, it will never fail, because an army is fully trained according to modern standards.  , and at the same time equipped with an army equipped with advanced firearms that are more than a thousand years old, if it can't defeat Lin'an City, what's going on?

    What's more, she, the queen who has already taken control of the real power, is working internally. It is almost impossible to fail. Unless she directly encounters the super curse attack of a meteor falling from the sky like Wang Mang of the new dynasty, otherwise, it is impossible to fail.

    On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, when the officials were on holiday and everyone was a little relaxed, Qiao Mu officially secretly brought those troops into Lin'an City, took over the original defense forces of Lin'an City, and took over the entire Lin'an. Yes, everything went smoothly for Qiao Mu.  Somewhat surprised, Qiao Mu originally thought that it might take a lot of effort and even some bloody struggles, but she didn't know if it was because she had not caused any trouble in recent years and her reputation had improved a lot.  Even though she issued a lot of different orders on Yuan Day, and also ordered people to be brought in, no one raised any objections. Everything went very smoothly, so smoothly that Qiao Mu even doubted her plan.  Wasn't it leaked?  Have you fallen into someone's trap?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
