Empress Dowager + Spoiler

"The emperor is very considerate." Noticing her small movements, Cai Jun smiled at her, "Very good."

Zhao Sansi breathed a sigh of relief, and regained some self-confidence, "Furthermore, in those history books, only tax cuts and tax cuts are the only prosperous times. A rash increase in taxes may cause panic among the people."

Cai Jun looked at her with raised eyebrows, "But the water conservancy project in the south of the Yangtze River is bound to be a huge expense. If there is no tax increase, the national treasury may not be able to afford it. Once the treasury is empty, the first hidden danger will be allocated to the frontier fortress. Army rations."

Zhao Sansi nodded, "I have also considered this, so the water conservancy projects in the south of the Yangtze River, I am not going to be fully borne by the court."

Cai Jun: "??? What does the emperor mean?"

Zhao Sansi looked at Cai Jun's puzzled expression, and was proud of his cleverness, "The people in Jiangnan will bear some of it. If I had known about the water conservancy in Jiangnan, I would have thought about it. This year is a bumper year, let Jiangnan The people raise money for the construction of water conservancy projects by themselves."

As soon as she mentioned it, Cai Juan's mind suddenly brightened, and he really looked at Zhao Sansi with admiration.

Zhao Sansi: "Build a merit box beside the construction of water conservancy, and select popular people from the common people to register, and the government will organize and maintain it, but the money will be counted and managed by the common people. Where it will be used in the future, it will be recorded one by one. Clearly, when the water conservancy project is completed, build a merit monument to record the achievements of the people."

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful." Cai Jun praised three times in a row, got excited for a while, then calmed down, "How does the emperor know that the people will be willing?"

Zhao Sansi blinked, "It's going to take someone to take the lead. Besides, everyone knows who is going to improve the water conservancy in the south of the Yangtze River."

Cai Jun just asked casually, and seeing that the little emperor had some opinions, he was even more satisfied. For loyal ministers like them who wanted to live forever, there was nothing happier than being with the right king.

Seeing him happy, Zhao Sansi hurriedly brought up what he cared about the most, "Prime Minister, you can hurry up to make Mrs. Gu your successor, right?"

Chapter 81

The smile on Cai Jun's face froze, and then he looked sad. He knew that the little emperor would not impress him for too long.

The prime minister's expression was so obvious that Zhao Sansi couldn't turn a blind eye to it, but regarding the matter of the imperial concubine, he couldn't back down.Zhao Sansi pursed her lips, "October pregnant, Mrs. Gu is already two months pregnant, and only eight months old, Dangdang...Of course I have to hurry up."

Cai Jun only felt that the sun xué was in severe pain. He subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed it. He waited for the pain to ease before opening his mouth, "Didn't the ministers make an agreement with the emperor earlier? It is a big deal to be a queen. It's not child's play, etiquette." It is cumbersome and the regulations are complicated, so we have to think about it in the long run.”

However, I am afraid that the night will have long dreams.

Zhao Sansi was a little distressed, "Then can I issue an edict?"

Cai Jun: "??? What order?"

Zhao Sansi: "The imperial edict to make Mrs. Gu the empress."

Cai Jun raised his forehead: "The emperor also give the courtiers some more time?"

Zhao Sansi: "Have you ever heard a sentence, Prime Minister?"

Cai Jun was confused: "What are you talking about?"

Zhao Sansi pursed his lips: "One effort, then decline, three exhaustion."

Cai Jun: "..."

Zhao Sansi was serious: "I think this matter can't be delayed, we must do it all at once."

Cai Jun hehe: "Your Majesty, the matter of becoming an empress is not marching and fighting."

Zhao Sansi immediately retorted: "Prime Minister's words are wrong, and the matter of establishing a successor is a confrontation between me and my courtiers."

Cai Juan choked so weakly that he said, "Tomorrow morning, I will mention it to the court, and then I will discuss and draft the decree with the Minister of Rites."

Zhao Sansi pondered for a while, the weather is getting late today, forget it, there is no rush today, "Then I will listen to the arrangement of the prime minister."

Cai Jun was almost out of breath, the little emperor was really good at being sweet and obedient, anyway, she listened to his own arrangements, didn't he force himself to listen to her arrangements.

Zhao Sansi got what he wanted, and seeing Cai Jun's dark face, he didn't dare to show too happy, and even tried to say something nice to others, "Actually, Mrs. Gu is not in a hurry at all, but I am in a hurry. The prime minister must understand It's my first time to be a father, of course I want to give their mother and son a legitimate identity."

Cai Jun chuckled, "Oh. I don't understand. After all, I haven't been a father yet."

Zhao Sansi immediately became worried, and leaned over wretchedly, "The prime minister can't do it."

Cai Jun's face was completely darkened, "I'm very good, it's just that Madam is weak and not easy to conceive."

Zhao Sansi was a little confused, "So that's the case. However, I didn't mean you can't do it just now. What I mean is that the prime minister is only 15 years old, and you can't do without children. Look at me, I'm only [-] years old, and Mrs. Gu gave it to me Pregnant with a..."

After the words were spoken, Zhao Sansi also felt that his words meant to sprinkle salt on the wound, and quickly turned a corner, "Since ancient times, there have been three unfilial acts, and having no descendants is the greatest. In my opinion, the wife of the prime minister can't do it. Then I will I will give you a few side rooms, and I guarantee that the prime minister will be able to embrace a fat boy next year."

Cai Jun gritted his teeth. If it was someone else, he would feel that the other party was sarcasm and ridicule him, but the little emperor's expression and eyes were very sincere - I was thinking of the prime minister.

"I have thanked the emperor for his kindness, and I dare not accept it."

Zhao San thought that his wife was a jealous woman, and when she thought about what Gu Xizhao said to her by the imperial pond, she didn't think the jealousy was bad, "Then I will let Dr. Zhang come to your house for a while later." Let me take care of my wife. Hey, my wife does not allow the prime minister to take concubines, but she also likes the prime minister very much. Just like Mrs. Gu..."

Zhao Sansi quickly shut his mouth tightly.

Cai Jun was already delirious by her words. Hearing these words, he didn't think of Gu Xizhao as a jealous woman, "I thank the emperor for his kindness."

Zhao Sansi took a careful look at his expression, and then felt relieved, "The prime minister is polite. The prime minister is concerned about the country and the people, and can bear such kindness."

Cai Jun didn't want to listen to the little emperor's sweet talk anymore, "Is there anything else the emperor wants to discuss with his ministers?"

Zhao Sansi shook his head, glanced at Shi Leu, "It's getting late, the prime minister will go to the palace to have dinner before returning?"

Cai Jun doesn't want to see the little emperor at all now, especially don't want to hear her talk about Mrs. Gu's distorted appearance, "Thank you for the reward, but I still have some private matters."

Zhao Sansi was also polite, she was still waiting to have a sweet time with her concubine, she waved her hand generously, and asked people to leave.

The next day, the morning court, which had been interrupted for four days, began again. To the surprise of the courtiers, the little emperor had a cup of tea earlier than usual in today's cloudy and cold day. Long overdue.

"Good morning, dear ladies." When Zhao Sansi thought of the important matter to be discussed next, her mood was bubbling. After the courtiers saw the ceremony, she couldn't keep her face straight anymore, and she simply chatted enthusiastically with everyone. "It's getting colder and colder today, and it's hard work for you Ai Qing to enter the palace so early."

Everyone: "??? I'm afraid, don't work hard."

Zhao Sansi waved his hand, "It's hard work, I understand the hard work. Speaking of which, it's not Mrs. Gu who is urging me to get up early today. I'm afraid that the morning court today will be delayed again. It can be seen, dear friends His wives are good housemates..."

Cai Jun finally understood what the little emperor's sudden enthusiastic prelude was for, and it was to be able to speak to Mrs. Gu in a fair and honest manner.

In order to praise Mrs. Gu, the little emperor really took great pains.

The courtiers were completely incomprehensible to the little emperor's coquettish maneuvers, except for Cai Jun, none of them could understand it.Of course, when they listen more, they will understand.

Zhao Sansi didn't care what the courtiers thought, after she started with her beautiful and kind-hearted concubine, she then listened to the courtiers' discussions seriously.

It's not a lie that a country cannot be without a king for a day. Zhao Sansi used to go to court every day, but he didn't think that being an emperor has so many things. Now, after listening to these courtiers chattering for an hour, he heard one head and two Great, the initial flattering mood is gone.

Seeing these ministers talking endlessly, Zhao Sansi quickly waved his hands, "It's getting late, we can postpone the performance later."

All the ministers looked at each other for a while, and secretly thought about whether what they said could be tolerated, and finally shut up quietly.

Zhao Sansi was satisfied, "Since it can be discussed later, then I will talk to you love ministers about the things that cannot be discussed later."

courtier:"???"

Only the insider Cai Jun looked at the big pillars in the hall speechlessly, thinking whether he should die on the spot to scare the little emperor.

Zhao Sansi interpreted the nervousness of the courtiers spontaneously as anticipation, "Mrs. Gu is two months pregnant now, and I am afraid that the matter of becoming a queen cannot be delayed any longer. If the emperor's son is born by then, his mother is still an identity. Madam who doesn’t understand, I’m afraid it’s...not good."
