Chapter 82
: Conquer people with virtue
Zhao Su returned to the Ganqing Palace and asked about the Left Minister of Rites to fill the gaps. Sure enough, he heard that the emperor of the court had announced that Fang Qingxue had been transferred to the office this morning.
Although the empress dowager and his mother are not mortal enemies, Fang Qingxue still favors the empress dowager. The emperor actually appointed him. It can be seen that the empress dowager did not lie, and he really compromised.
Ah, it seems that the emperor is quite conscientious, although he is willing to do so probably because he does not want to lose the right-hand assistant of the Qingyun Marquis, because a Qingyun Marquis is much more important than a minister of the Ministry of Rites.
After inquiring for a round, she entered the Ganqing Palace.
The emperor looked through the memorial on the desk, and his face didn't look relaxed at this moment.
"I just announced that Fang Qingxue would take over, and they just put so many comments on objection in one breath. This speed is not slow. It's just that the official business on weekdays, why don't you see such speed?"
Only Zuo Tongzheng Yao Ting of Tongzheng, the Tongzheng Department, was present in the hall. Tongzheng Department only cared about the memorials and had no real power, and did not participate in politics. When he heard the emperor's words, Yao Ting bowed and looked at the ground without answering.
The emperor put down the memorial. "Yao Aiqing can retreat."
Yao Ting bowed deeply and withdrew.
Several officials were wandering at the gate of the palace. When they saw Yao Ting come out, they immediately went up to meet him: "Mr. Yao, have the emperor ever seen the memorial? What did the emperor say?"
Yao Ting bowed to them: "My lords, please forgive me. The official is only responsible for passing memorials, but only asking about government affairs. The memorial has been submitted to the emperor. If you want to hear the reply, please wait patiently for the emperor's approval."
Yao Ting bowed to them and walked away.
"Oh, Lord Yao!..."
Several people chased him without giving up, but they couldn't catch up with him, so they stopped at the steps.
Zhao Su and Yao Ting met a man in the corridor and recognized him based on the original owner's memory. But they were not familiar with him, so they didn't say hello. After walking for a while, they met a few officials who were muttering. Fang Qingxue seemed to be mentioned in the words, but these people were also very nervous. When they saw someone, they walked over without saying anything important.
Zhao Su arrived at the Ganqing Palace and looked at it under the door. The hall was empty and I didn’t know where the emperor was. While looking around, a voice came from behind the curtain in the west: “If you want to go in, what are you doing sneakily?”
Zhao Suxunsheng looked at him and saw the emperor sitting cross-legged on the kang, looking at this side.
Zhao Su walked in and bowed down the curtain: "Zhao Su meets the emperor."
The emperor looked at her head and said, "I'm not like you so polite."
Zhao Su looked up, smiled, and walked into the curtain: "Your Majesty, don't hold grudges like this. I was so happy yesterday, so I came over to dance to express my feelings. It was not intentionally rude."
The emperor said: "The dance is good."
Zhao Suyidun: "You are here again."
The emperor put down the note in his hand: "What's the matter?"
"It's okay. I just learned from the Queen Mother that the emperor's power came out of the palace. I came here to thank you. Then I asked you to have a lot of it, don't care about my past misogynistic behavior."
"That's quite conscientious."
"My character is not bad! If you have the chance in the future, you will know more about it." There are not many good young people like her who talk about the five and four beauties. He has to cherish it and don't squeeze her all day long!
The emperor opened the fan and shook it lightly: "Since you are here to thank me, then let's say less useless. Is there any actual expression?"
Zhao Su said: "The weather is getting hotter, so I'll make some drinks for you! Just the juice I drank yesterday, I'll squeeze a pot for you!"
The emperor squinted his eyes and said, "It turns out that my help is so worthless."
“… Then what do you think is valuable?”
The emperor put down the memorial. "You have to drink and of course you have to eat. I sacrificed so much to save you. You not only have to do it, but also think carefully about how to do it better."
"Okay," Zhao Su also made a reservation, "Then let's have a lunch!"
"A meal?" The emperor seemed to feel insulted, "You are so grateful?"
“…what else?”
She can only cook, but she can’t cook yet?!
The fan in the emperor's hand shook again: "A month's imperial meal."
"One month?!"
She heard it right? She only spoke for a month. Why didn’t you say that she would give her all the meals for a year? Do you really treat her as a kid?
Although she likes cooking very much, cooking for her family and friends is different from cooking for the capitalist! Moreover, this capitalist has the purpose of bullying her and keeps her by her side as a guard!
Even if he helped her this time, to put it bluntly, he deserved it. If it weren't for him, how could she be punished by Empress Dowager Lu?
The nature of the landlord-class capitalists' oppression cannot be concealed by the occasional act of kindness!
"It's too long, three pens are almost the same."
"I am the true dragon emperor, so I don't easily ask others for help. My face alone is enough for three meals, right? Not to mention that I have even sent you food. If you say this, people can't tell that you have any sincerity."
"You gave it one in total!"
"You still think it's too little? I'll ask Sixi to send the board directly if other guards make mistakes."
All right.
Zhao Su didn't want to talk to him anymore.
She saw through it. This guy not only exploited people, but also shameless!
But just leaving like this is like leaving a talk for him in vain.
She thought for a while: "It's okay to do it. Can I ask you something?"
"Can you tell me."
"Will Shien return to the Ministry of Rites to serve?"
"This is the government affairs of the court."
It means she can't ask. Zhao Su said: "I know, I just want to see if you say it or not."
The emperor thought for a moment, his body tilted on the pillow, and three fingers were pointed out: "Three months."
"What?"
"I can tell you how to make me a three-month meal."
Is this blatant blackmail?
Zhao Su suddenly lost his face: "Goodbye!"
A soldier can be killed but not humiliated.
The emperor watched her go out, but did not call her.
When she arrived outside the palace gate, she stood there, stomped her feet and fell back, stretched out a finger: "One month! No more!"
“It cannot be repeated.”
"make a deal!"
Zhao Su said two words: "Tell me!"
The emperor picked up the fan and shook it. "This matter is very difficult. Now I want to transfer Fang Qingxue to take over Shi En's position. Many people are unwilling to let Shi En return to the Ministry of Rites."
"You are the emperor, you must have a way to make them obey!"
"But didn't you say that being an emperor can also be conquered by virtue? How can I intimidate them to obey?"
“…”
The emperor looked at her stunned face, and his face that had been cold all morning finally showed a little spring breeze.
