Empress Dowager + Spoiler

In the early morning of the next day, because of what Zhao Sansi said yesterday, the people who spoke in the court were very active. Like Sun Yan, Minister of the Ministry of War, his department is doing nothing at the moment, but he is afraid of being misunderstood and not active in speaking. He put forward one or two points of view on the matter of flood control in the south of the Yangtze River that the ministry is most concerned about.

Cai Jun had never expected the lively scene where all the officials in the court were speaking enthusiastically and offering advice. He couldn't help but glanced up at the dragon seat, only to see the little emperor secretly picking his nostrils.

Cai Jun: "..." After being stunned for a moment, he quickly looked away.

In the court, one must not only pay attention to words and deeds, but also to pay attention to appearance. When Zhao Sansi was first established as the crown prince, he had to be reminded every day. Naturally, he knew how unsightly his nose-picking posture was.But her nose was so itchy, she couldn't control her hand that wanted to dig it, and watched the courtiers below discussing it, so she scratched it secretly...

Now that he was hit by the prime minister, Zhao Sansi quickly withdrew his hand, with embarrassment on his face, glanced at the minister below, and coughed lightly unconsciously.

The court hall, which was still bustling just now, immediately fell silent, and all the courtiers stood up straight in their seats, waiting for her to speak.For the courtiers, a light cough on the dragon seat means that today's discussion is over. This is the experience summed up by the court for many years.

Obviously, Zhao Sansi was a newcomer and didn't understand this rule. Seeing everyone quiet down, he shrugged his still itchy nose, and said impatiently: "Dear ladies, have you discussed it?"

Those who can stand in this place to participate in the early court are all ministers from the third rank upwards, naturally they are all very smart, and everyone thinks that Zhao Sansi's impatient tone is aimed at them and hasn't come up with an idea after so long. So they all cheered up, and no one dared to speak up.

If it is said that it has been discussed, there is no charter.

If there was no discussion, what were you doing just now?

Cai Jun, who had been silent all this time, glanced at the crowd pretending to be dead, twitched the corners of his lips, and said, "Your Majesty, flood control in the south of the Yangtze River is a major matter, and all the ministers dare not express their opinions."

"Isn't the purpose of calling the ministers here this morning to discuss state affairs? If you are so timid and dare not take this opportunity to express your ideas, then what is the significance of this morning?" Zhao Sansi didn't think so, and shrugged again. He shrugged his nose, "Furthermore, although I am not as wise as the late emperor, nor as brave as the great ancestor, I consider myself a broad-minded person who can listen to a hundred schools of thought."

The little emperor always speaks surprises. Although Cai Jun received many surprises, he was still a little surprised when he heard her words today, "What the emperor said is very true, but I am waiting too much."

"You guys are all deceived by the rumor that 'accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger'." Zhao Sansi said in a very considerate tone, looking at the people below who were afraid to speak with their heads down, and comforted him: "As long as you are loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and considerate of the people, I will not punish you. Of course, if you always think about doing bad things, I'm not that easy to talk to."

"I would like to follow the instructions of the emperor."

Zhao Sansi waved his hand, "About the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, I told the Prime Minister my opinion yesterday." Afraid that what he said would make people laugh, Zhao Sansi glanced at Cai Jun and stopped talking .

Cai Jun answered her words very tacitly, "The floods in the south of the Yangtze River will take a lot of effort every year. The emperor means that it is better to open up the canals in the east and the Yangtze River to divert the water from the Yangtze River. What do you ministers think about this?"

The others looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry took the lead and said: "Although the overall terrain of the south of the Yangtze River is low, the terrain is also somewhat complicated. The Yangtze River and the canal are far apart. Together with the two rivers, I am afraid it will take some time."

After hearing the words, the Minister of the Household Department also said: "This kind of big project is the most labor-intensive and costly. It requires a lot of labor. In this way, I am afraid that corvee will be imposed. Now that the people live and work in peace and contentment, rashly recruiting corvee will definitely make the people dissatisfied."

"..."

Cai Jun was not surprised by the courtier's inappropriate remarks, but Zhao Sansi was a little dissatisfied, and snorted coldly, "Who is it for to divert the water from the Yangtze River?"

"Naturally for the common people."

"Since it is for the common people, why are the common people dissatisfied? Furthermore, if such a large project is not built in the peaceful and prosperous age, when will it be reliable?" The minister doesn't understand?Zhao Sansi felt that these ministers took so much salary for nothing, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Zhao Sansi stood up thoughtfully, "You don't think it's troublesome to discuss the flood in the south of the Yangtze River every year at this time of year, so you will concentrate on going Fuck. Knowing that the flood in the south of the Yangtze River is a worry every year, I don’t propose to build a reservoir or open a canal to divert the flow. I think about how much money the Ministry of Finance will allocate to make a temporary prevention all day long. Let’s see, you are just one Year after year of doing nothing, I am afraid that something will not come out, and I am sorry for your salary."

This crime was a bit serious, and all the officials knelt down, "Your Majesty, calm down."

It was like this every time, she was so good at reasoning with them, one by one only heard that she was angry, since she loves to kneel so much, just kneel, Zhao Sansi curled her lips, no one would look at her now, she Picking her nostrils quickly, the itching was relieved quickly, and the sullenness in her heart dissipated a lot. When she sat down, her tone was that slow and lacking in confidence:

"Of course, connecting the Yangtze River with the canal, such a big project, is not something I can talk about and implement immediately. This kind of thing needs to be discussed in the long run. The most urgent thing is to prevent this year. Today, all ministers will go back and think carefully. I think tomorrow will definitely come out with a charter."

The people below naturally responded repeatedly.

After the breath was gone, Zhao Sansi didn't make things difficult for these ministers, after all, many of them were old men, she was embarrassed to let them kneel like this, and waved them up again.

What's more, the main purpose of her court today is to wait for these courtiers to tell her about what happened to Zhugong yesterday, and she will go back in a justifiable manner, and then take this opportunity to announce that the concubines should not get together , each returning to the will of each palace.

After the Taifu mentioned this point yesterday, she thought about it for a while, and felt that it would be a bit abrupt for her to suggest that these concubines should be divided into separate palaces. After all, Huarong also said that she was partial to the concubine Some - Sima Zhao's heart.

But if someone talked about what happened to the Bamboo Palace yesterday, her decree for the concubines to go back to each palace would seem to follow suit.

how...

Seeing that all the ministers had nothing to say, Zhao Sansi twitched uncomfortably on the dragon seat, "Do you have nothing to do to play?"

"The minister has nothing to do."

"The minister has nothing to do."

"..."

Zhao Sansi: "..."

The eunuch in charge of ceremonies: "If you have something to play, you will leave the court if you have nothing to do."

Zhao Sansi: "..."

Did no one go to complain yesterday?But, she... She even thought about what to say back.

So angry.

When the court was over, Zhao Sansi shook his sleeves angrily and left.

All the officials who sent her away respectfully had expressions of sincerity and fear, and each of them was thinking about whether he said something wrong when he went to court today...

"I'm afraid the emperor thinks that we are not smooth enough?"

"I guess that's the case. I guess we don't think we can speak quickly enough?"

"I think the emperor may think that we do too little, and we are paid for nothing."

"Why do I think Master Sun's words are the most reasonable? The court said clearly that we don't do anything with our salary for nothing, and we didn't come out with a charter for floods in the south of the Yangtze River today. I'm afraid we are really angry..."

"Stop sticking around. It's serious to think of a way right now. Mr. Wang, I'm not busy this afternoon. I'll go to your house and discuss with you. My youngest son has been crying a lot these days. My wife Take it out on me, it's too restless, it's hard to think about it."

"Count me in, our two families are close, think about it together, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang."

"..."

Cai Jun listened for a while, and became more and more convinced by the little emperor's nonsense. He never believed in those ghosts and gods, and even secretly suspected in his heart that the idiot little emperor might really be the real destiny. Son of Heaven, she deserves the throne.

Just when he was thinking seriously, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry came over, "Prime Minister, you spend the most time with the emperor, and you must be able to guess how much the emperor is thinking. Tell us, when the emperor is leaving the court today Why are you angry?"

"The emperor's thoughts are deep, and there is no way to know the truth." Cai Jun glanced at him, although his words were very official and perfunctory, but right now he was indeed angry without guessing why the little emperor behaved so well.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry obviously didn't believe it, "Prime Minister, don't hide it from the officials. Besides, the emperor is in a good mood, so we can have a good life."
