Empress Dowager + Spoiler

Thinking of this, she became arrogant again.

However, when he arrived at Chengqian Palace and looked at Cai Jun who was already waiting there, Zhao Sansi still cowarded him spinelessly, and refused to let Cai Jun finish his ceremony, so he pulled him up and said very affectionately: "Didn't I tell the prime minister that the early court Are you going to visit the emperor's wife after we leave, why did you come so early?"

The peach-blossom eyes full of smiles were burning, looking at the appearance of the little emperor, Cai Jun's icy face cracked a little, "I just came, thinking that the emperor might be coming soon, so I just waited here .”

Chengqian Palace is the inner court, but now Cai Jun is the assistant minister, and Zhao Sansi also respects him very much, allowing him to come and go freely.

Zhao Sansi originally thought that Cai Jun would definitely scold her for saying so many things on her own initiative in the early court, but now hearing the tone of the person did not sound angry, she couldn't help but feel relieved, the smile on her face was even bigger, and she went into the study After that, he ordered Li Zhongxian to serve tea.

After Cai Jun thanked him, he stopped chatting and talked about important matters directly.The new emperor had never been in contact with government affairs before, and there were at least eight out of ten of the things mentioned in these ministers' memorials. Zhao Sansi was reading from heaven.

At first, Cai Jun was incapable of accepting such a crown prince, but now, he has been able to answer Zhao Sansi's hundred thousand "Prime Minister, I know all these words, but when they are connected together, I don't know what they mean." See Seeing that the little emperor was able to express a few words of his own opinion from time to time when analyzing these government affairs by himself, Cai Jun felt that the idiot little emperor could still be taught by a child.

There are so many trivial matters for national affairs, and it takes time to review the large and small memorials. When Zhao Jin was in power, he always asked people to help select them first, suppressing the irrelevant ones, and picking out the important points first. This is the tradition of reviewing memorials by emperors of all dynasties.But Cai Jun dare not let Zhao Sansi do the same at the moment. One is that she has little contact with the government, and now that she reviews carefully, she has a deeper understanding of these ministers and the government.The second is that he is always worried about Zhao Sansi, for fear that he will relax him, and he will make a foolish king who loves rest and hates work.

Therefore, it was already noon when these memorials were reviewed.

Cai Jun was a little tired after watching the notebook for so long with others. Seeing the little emperor staring and trying to pretend to be serious, he couldn't bear to give her any more problems, so he closed the last notebook. On the Internet, he casually mentioned the matter of flood control in the south of the Yangtze River, "This year, the rain in the spring is good, and the following are all good news about the plowing in the spring. The most important thing right now is the matter of flood control in the south of the Yangtze River."

No need to read the scriptures, Zhao Sansi also heaved a sigh of relief, rubbed his sore eyes, did not think much, and took Cai Jun's words, "It is now April and a half, and the floods are usually summer, and now let's talk about construction." It may be too late for the dam to prevent flooding."

These days they were talking about flood control in the south of the Yangtze River, but Zhao Sansi also took this matter to heart, thought about it, and had some ideas of his own.

Cai Jun didn't expect her to say this, and looked at her with admiration, but his face remained calm, "Then what does the emperor think about the flood control in the south of the Yangtze River?"

"Jiangnan is a land of fish and rice. The annual tax revenue accounts for [-]%, which is obviously the center of gravity." Zhao Sansi curled his lips, "Why do we need to allocate funds for flood prevention every year in such an important place?"

It made her have to think of a way. Are there not many emperors in front of her Ming Jun?Can't someone think of a solution once and for all?

Cai Jun was stunned for a moment, unable to understand what she said, "It is because there are many fertile fields in the south of the Yangtze River that it is important. Every year when the rainy season comes, we are so cautious. This year is because the late emperor was seriously ill and delayed. Otherwise, preparations are already underway."

Zhao Sansi frowned, "God doesn't act according to our plan. For example, this year, if it enters the rainy season in May, what's the use of waiting for the money for building dams to come down? In my opinion, compared with years It is better to think of a once-and-for-all solution if we are so worried and frightened in the past year, and we have to spend money and money to find ways to prevent it."

Once and for all, is indeed a good idea.

But the point is how to get it done once and for all?

Cai Jun lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "The emperor said how to do it once and for all?"

Zhao Sansi was bitter, how could she know such a big problem, but she was the one who talked about this topic, if she didn't say a few words, she felt that she was really useless.

Scratching his head, Zhao Sansi said: "Teacher said that learning must be integrated, just like water from all corners of the world, seep into each other, and then learn from one another. Since water from all lakes and seas are all seep into each other, blocking the flood is better than dredging, let the small river If the water flows into the big river and the water that cannot get out goes out, it will naturally not be blocked and flood the farmland."

"Your majesty really knows how to use what you have learned." Cai Jun laughed. The terrain in the south of the Yangtze River is low. When it rains, the water from the high terrain in the north rushes along the Yangtze River. Although there are canals in the east to divert the flow, they are far apart Far, this project is too huge to divert.However, he was very pleased that the little emperor could think this way, "The emperor's idea is good, but the terrain in the south of the Yangtze River is complicated, and it is not an easy task for the water of the Yangtze River to connect with other rivers."

Zhao Sansi thinks that she has little knowledge. She has no idea of ​​the terrain in the south of the Yangtze River. She has never been out of the palace, but she understands a truth, "Since ancient times, which thing that benefits the country and the people is easy? When I was a child, my mother The concubine told me the story of the Yugong who moved the mountain. Although the Yugong could not move the mountain alone, the descendants are endless. Of course, let’s put aside such legends for now, let’s take the story of the first emperor building the Great Wall..."

Remembering that the First Emperor was a famous Baojun in history, Zhao Sansi shut his mouth in embarrassment, glanced at Cai Jun, saw that his expression was normal, and then continued: "Although the project is huge and the people have suffered a lot, but Who in the past dynasties has not enjoyed the benefits of the Great Wall? Many Ming emperors in the previous dynasties continued to build the Great Wall. Of course, I cite this example, not because I think that the first emperor is not cruel, but just to tell the prime minister that we can’t just stick to it in front of your eyes."

Seeing that Cai Jun didn't answer for a long time, Zhao Sansi was a little embarrassed, and secretly glanced at him, "I...the prime minister also knows, I haven't read any books, if what I say is inappropriate, the prime minister must not scold me..."

"The emperor is quite right." Cai Jun interrupted her suddenly, looked at her cautious appearance, bowed, and praised for the first time without hesitation: "It's the ministers who are short-sighted, and can't compare with the emperor's foresight. "

Cai Jun's words came from the bottom of his heart.

It wasn't until this moment that he admitted from the bottom of his heart that the person in front of him was his king.

Stick to the present.

This is a common problem of all emperors and all the people in the world. The floods in the south of the Yangtze River, everyone knows the truth that blocking is worse than dredging, but every time they think that dredging is a big project, ministers object, and emperors show their cowardice.

why?

For such a large project, no one knows what accidents may occur, and no one can guarantee how long it will take to complete.Officials who were eager to make political achievements and wait for promotion were unwilling to accept it, and the emperor who was afraid of leaving a reputation for laboring people and money but did not make a deed that has been passed down through the ages would not dare to take the risk.

The little emperor was not afraid.

She doesn't seek merit for herself, but only seeks benefits for the future.

Zhao Sansi didn't understand Cai Jun's heart trembling at all. She was a little unbelievable when she was praised by this fierce prime minister for the first time. She tilted her head to look at the bowed Cai Jun, her peach blossom eyes were full of vigor, "Prime Minister You're not mocking me, are you?"

"I dare not."

Zhao Sansi curled his lips, thinking that he was forced by the coercion of his status, and his face collapsed, "If the prime minister has something to say, you may as well just say it, I know how much I am, the emperor asked me to listen to the prime minister, I have it all Keep it in my heart. On the surface, I am the emperor and the prime minister is a courtier, but in my heart, you are my teacher just like the Taifu."

"Having heard the emperor's words today, I will be the emperor's saddle." Cai Jun knelt down and made a respectful salute.

Zhao Sansi was quite frightened by his words and deeds, "Prime Minister, don't you want to scare me?"

Cai Jun kowtowed, "This is my apology to the emperor. I used to be disrespectful to the emperor."

Cai Jun kowtowed again, "This is my thanks to the emperor for his kindness and attention to me."

After finishing speaking, Cai Jun continued to kowtow, "This is a formal gift from the minister to the emperor, and I will swear allegiance to the emperor from now on."

"???" Zhao Sansi was stunned by the three heads of Cai Jun, and it took him a long time to recover, and quickly pulled him up, "The prime minister made me nervous..."

The little emperor's peachy eyes turned dark, Cai Jun couldn't help laughing at it, "Don't be nervous, your majesty, the ministers were too harsh on your majesty in the past."

Zhao Sansi understood what he said, and seeing him smile, he became happy too, and was about to speak, when Li Zhongxian's voice came from outside, saying that it was time for lunch, and asked her if she wanted to eat first.
