Empress Dowager + Spoiler

Gu Xizhao looked at her coldly, "If you want to exhaust me to death, just keep making trouble like this."

It's too late for her to love the imperial concubine, so why is she willing to exhaust herself?

Zhao Sansi became anxious in an instant, "Guigui...don't say that, concubine..."

Gu Xizhao spread the memorial in front of her. It was a letter from the prefect of Lintao. Lintao can be regarded as a stronghold in the northwest, and because of the Taohe River, the largest tributary of the Yellow River, it is considered a rich place in the northwest region.This time, the note sent by the prefect of Lintao is that the Shangzuo wants to allocate funds to build the prefect's office.

Gu Xizhao waited for a while, and noticed that Zhao Sansi's eyes stopped at the end of the paper before he said, "How does the emperor approve this paper?"

Zhao Sansi hesitated for a moment, then raised his head to look at her, cautiously, "The prefect of Lintao is right, the government office in Lintao has been in existence for more than ten years, and has never been extensively repaired... It takes three years for him to come to Beijing once, It's not too much to ask for 3 taels of silver to build a government office..."

Seeing Gu Xizhao's increasingly mocking sneer, Zhao Sansi became more and more low-key, and when he was nervous, he habitually pulled the jade pendant around his waist, and said with a stiff neck: "This... this time, I... ...not to read what he said in the booklet, but to discuss the matter as it stands."

Gu Xizhao raised her eyebrows, "The emperor also understands what happened earlier, isn't it just a matter of fact?"

Zhao Sansi stopped talking, thought for a while, and said discouragedly: "Okay, I admit, the previous ones were a little self-willed..."

Gu Xizhao nodded her chin, "Does the emperor realize his mistake now?"

Zhao Sansi was dejected, nodded, and looked at Gu Xizhao resentfully, "Got it."

"Now that I know, let me analyze this memorial for you." Gu Xizhao's slender fingers stopped on the name of the prefect of Lintao, "This person is the Lintao where the late emperor went to serve during his five-year term. Seniority is enough to be promoted...Look at the memorials of other people, these people who have not had the opportunity to enter Beijing once for many years, which one of them did not praise the peace and prosperity of the place? The only chance he has to return to Beijing this time in three years is In a hurry to ask for money?"

Gu Xizhao looked up at Zhao Sansi's expression, then put her fingers on the word "Lintao", "Compared to the large areas in the southwest and northwest, the people in Lintao are definitely living the best life. Building mansions in other places Yamen may really need the imperial government’s appropriation, but Lintao does not. Moreover, Lintao can be regarded as a fortress, and troops have been stationed here for a long time. Because it is far away from the capital, the army has half of the control over Lintao. Relatively speaking, the appropriation of funds must be more cautious .”

Zhao Sansi listened carefully to her analysis, and was a little puzzled when he heard this, "Why should we be more cautious?"

"Lintao's half of the control includes the right to recruit soldiers." Gu Xizhao looked at her, "Does the emperor understand?"

Zhao Sansi understood half-understood, "Then according to the opinion of the imperial concubine, this paper cannot be approved?"

Gu Xizhao frowned, and thought for a while, "I won't approve it for now, you take out the booklet and ask the prime minister's opinion later, I have also lived in the deep palace for a long time, and I have not thought carefully about this matter."

Lintao is not far from the Northwest Camp, where her father and brother are stationed. The 3 taels of silver is not too much, but it is not too little, but the move of the prefect of Lintao is obviously cutting off his own promotion path. The king, the most impatient is the courtier who asks him for money.

It is intriguing that the prefect of Lintao does not want to be promoted.

However, her father and brother should have received the letter sent by the little fool to the Northwest Camp, and they should arrive in the capital by the twelfth lunar month at the latest.

Zhao Sansi looked at her with a confused expression, she pursed her lips, picked up the pen obediently, and wrote the word "Reconsideration" on the notebook.

Gu Xizhao came back to her senses, glanced at the booklet, and her expression followed. She didn't let her grind anymore, and poked her sun xué, "As a king, no matter when and where, you must control your emotions. Don't use your likes and dislikes in political affairs, and don't show your likes and dislikes. Just like Eunuch Li told you, no matter how much you like a certain snack, you can't eat more, because you can't let others see it. Let people have the opportunity to do what they like with the emperor."

Zhao Sansi bowed his head, "But I like imperial concubines, I have already let the world know."

Gu Xizhao: "..."

Zhao Sansi didn't see her talking, so she glanced at her secretly again, "Then what should we do now?"

Gu Xizhao hated iron and steel very much, but in the end the raised hand just fell on Zhao Sansi's face, "So, just this once. It doesn't matter to me whether the world knows about my good things or not. As long as the emperor understands, it will be fine."

Zhao Sansi didn't say a word. If she was an ordinary person, it would be fine for her to secretly understand the good things about noble concubines, but if she is the king of a country, she can't.

Her identity meant that she would not become that nameless speck of dust in history, and the imperial concubine, as her queen, would not be either.Since this is the case, she must let the world and future generations understand that the imperial concubine is good.

After a while, Zhao Sansi said lightly: "I understand what the imperial concubine said, and I will put all my mind on the business in the notebook."

Gu Xizhao nodded, "These people who are used to flattering people are mostly people who don't do their jobs properly."

With Gu Xizhao's hard work, Zhao Sansi finally became less stupid. The little emperor, who only obeyed the concubine's words, firmly believed that the officials who wrote these flirtatious notes were worthless until Xu Yingmin entered the palace to face the saint. .

Speaking of which, those who returned to Beijing to report on their duties, the chances of those external officials below the third rank to meet the Holy Spirit are not high.However, Xu Yingmin, as a fourth-rank official who is a friend of the head of a powerful minister, is also very curious about the little emperor, so it is not difficult to meet a saint.

On the day Cai Jun brought him into the palace, it happened to be snowing heavily, and this was the first heavy snow this year. The crowd of palace people were very lively, so Zhao Sansi also went to join in the fun, building a snowman with Gu Xizhao in the imperial garden.

She was in good spirits, and when she heard that Cai Jun was coming, she didn't calm down and asked Eunuch Li to invite him over.

When Cai Jun came over, Zhao Sansi was building a small snowman between two big snowmen, and asked the palace servants to prepare a lot of pearls, hairpins and necklaces, and was dressing up the snowman there.

Cai Jun wanted to go forward, but Xu Yingmin held him back and asked Li Zhongxian to bring paper and ink, and sat in the pavilion secretly to start painting.

After about two quarters of an hour, Zhao Sansi raised his head from the snowman and looked at Li Zhongxian, "Is the prime minister here?"

Li Zhongxian saw her blushing and happy face, and also smiled, "Come here, I see that the emperor and his wife are busy here, they don't dare to disturb, they are sitting in the pavilion with Lord Xu."

Zhao Sansi glanced into the pavilion, nodded, and asked Li Zhongxian to bring hot soup, then turned his head to shake Gu Xizhao's hand, "Is the imperial concubine cold?"

"It's not cold." Gu Xizhao grabbed her hands and rubbed them together, looked down at the family of three piled up, and subconsciously touched her slightly protruding stomach, "Since the prime minister and the emperor have important matters Shang, that concubine stepped down first."

Zhao Sansi nodded with a smile, and followed her to touch her stomach. She knew that there were small cloth strips wrapped inside, but when she saw the little snowman on the ground, she had the illusion that the imperial concubine really had her own child, and was caught Gu Xizhao opened her hand, then turned around and brought the hot soup from Li Zhongxian's hand to Gu Xizhao's lips, fed her a sip, took a sip herself, and then went to order Huarong, "You will personally send Madam back to the palace later. "

Gu Xizhao also took a look at the pavilion, her eyesight was good, she watched Xu Yingmin look this way, her eyes narrowed, then she helped Zhao Sansi straighten the fox fur collar on her body, and then took the gift from Zhao Sansi Warm your hands, "Now the number of people in Changle Palace has doubled, so be careful. Your Majesty, hurry up and get busy. Don't make the Prime Minister and Master Xu wait too long."

Zhao Sansi slurred a few more words, watched her out of sight, and then went into the pavilion.

Cai Jun and Xu Yingmin watched the person approaching from afar, and stood up to salute.

Zhao Sansi excused them from their ceremony. She had some impressions of Xu Yingmin, the magistrate of Yangzhou. This time, seeing his real body, she couldn't help but look up a little more. When she saw this person, the first thing that came to her mind was ——Moshang is like jade, and his son is unparalleled in the world.However, when I took a second look and saw this person's fox eyes, I was no longer astonished. Instead, I felt that the person in front of me was a làngdàng person who could not be reassured.

Zhao Sansi looked at it twice, feeling a little displeased, so he withdrew his gaze, glanced at the pen and ink on the table from the corner of his eye, and walked over to have a look, "Aiqing and Yaxing are here..."

When he got closer and saw the half-finished painting, his eyes were filled with amazement, "Is this the scene where Zhen and Mrs. Gu just made a snowman?"

Xu Yingmin knelt down, "Yes. I also hope that the emperor will forgive your sins. I just came over and saw that the scene of you and your wife making snowmen is very warm and happy. I can't help but love each other... Now that I am alone, it is really a I was shocked by the affectionate appearance of the emperor and his wife..."
