Chapter 72 Frozen River Hunting

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to hold a big position!"

After hearing her words clearly, Zhao Cuo's face suddenly stiffened.

No matter who does this, he will be regarded as a thorn in the side of the ulterior Beijing officials.

Moreover, as he is pregnant with dragon-veined worms, isn’t it suicidal to work so hard for the Yu Kingdom?

"If I ask you to do it, it means you can do it."

Empress Dowager Zhao said in a tone that left no room for doubt.

"But……"

"Don't talk back."

She lifted up her petite jade ashiqing, which was covered in translucent black stockings, and kicked Mr. Zhao's calf.

"I know this is dangerous."

The Queen Mother spoke lightly, then smiled, stretched out her hand to hold his cheek, leaned forward and said affectionately:

"You should be able to understand why I arrange things for you to do one after another, right? While you are still young, I will slowly adjust you. Can you just obey my arrangements?"

'If I give a negative answer, you will immediately change your face and kill me, right?'

Zhao, who was not at all bewitched by her, made a slanderous comment.

"I am willing to clear up the turmoil in the world for my empress."

Young Master Zhao could only nod his head even though he was deeply reluctant.

"So good."

Empress Dowager Zhao nodded with satisfaction, then stepped on his thigh with her delicate feet in black silk stockings, and said with a smile:

"As a reward for pressing my feet."

'Thank you!'

Zhao Cuo knew that it was useless to refuse. Without saying anything, he raised his hand and held her tender feet, pressing her silky and warm soles hard to release his breath.

As he had more physical contact with this woman, he also had a question in his mind.

Why is the devil's normal body temperature several degrees higher than that of a normal person?

"Why is your body so hot?"

He asked blurtly.

"It's just that I practiced a special technique."

The Queen Mother raised her slender eyebrows.

"You don't like it?"

"No."

Wondering what he liked or disliked about this, Zhao Cuo fell silent.

"I will issue an order later about letting you handle this matter."

The Queen Mother said calmly.

"Before this, I will clear some obstacles for you. If you still can't get things done, you know what I will do, right?"

"yes……"

No matter how reluctant Zhao Cuo was, he could only nod.

"besides."

Zhao Qinglan suddenly smiled sweetly again and reached out her hand to pinch his chin.

"I will give you the power to do things. If you value any officials with outstanding abilities, you can recruit them directly. When you are allowed to employ people, you will be promised rewards within the normal range."

"Thank you, ma'am."

Zhao nodded knowingly.

If you think about it carefully, he seems to have many opportunities to ruin the fate of the country if he takes this job!

This female devil gave him such exaggerated power, which gave him a lot of room for maneuver.

"You should go back now."

Empress Dowager Zhao withdrew her jade hand caressing his cheek, her face gradually became colder, and she snorted softly and said:

"I have personally taken care of these damned people standing proudly on the Golden Palace. I will give you a decree in the next few days. You can just wait at home with peace of mind."

"Wei Chen resigns."

Zhao Cuo stood up and bowed.

"Feiwu, take him out of the side hall."

The Queen Mother sat on the dragon chair and said with her little black stocking feet dangling.

"Sir, please follow me."

Feiwu, who looked at his master and the young man quarreling with each other every day, said to Zhao Cuo respectfully.

"Good work."

Zhao Cuo returned the courtesy politely and then stepped forward to follow.

When he left the imperial city with his carriage, the sky had completely darkened.

Thinking that his sister would be angry if he didn't go home for two consecutive days, Mr. Zhao walked towards his mansion.

"The Queen Mother allows me to call the officials of the capital at will. For such a big matter, of course I have to find one or two Crouching Dragons and Phoenix Girls to assist me. I have to ensure that this matter is done so that the woman does not cause trouble for me."

Zhao Cuo was thinking about how to do things well and poorly all the way.

After returning home, he put aside his worries and finished the meal with his sister.

He didn't plan to give the bellyband or anything to Miss Zhao himself. With her temperament, he might not know what her reaction would be. Anyway, the things were on the market in the past few days and he had to buy them by himself.



"I have to ask Uncle Chengji for advice on how to deal with this Beijing official corruption case..."

Early the next morning, Zhao Cuo drove to the execution department's Yamen as usual.

"Come in."

After knocking on the door and receiving a response, he pushed open the door of Deputy Chief Su's hall.

"Uncle Chengji."

Zhao Cuo smiled and said hello.

"Um."

Su Chengji's face was not so pretty and she gave him a forced smile.

'The Deputy Chief of the Punishment Department is an official of the second rank. Uncle Chengji should have been in the Chaotian Palace yesterday evening. It seems that Queen Mother Zhao got furious after I left, right?'

With this thought flashing through his mind, Zhao Cuo gently opened the stool and sat down.

"How did your Majesty deal with the many ministers who made money from the treasury yesterday?"

Mr. Zhao, who never minced words with his family, asked.

"Ahem!"

Su Chengji, who had just taken a sip of tea, suddenly choked.

"Wu Jiu, you found out so quickly?"

He looked at Zhao Cuo in astonishment. Was it last night when the Queen Mother angrily scolded the officials? The news had already spread at dawn?

"I was there for the first half of last night."

Zhao Cuo picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip.

"Why didn't I see you?" Su Chengji looked at him suspiciously, "The Queen Mother can't leave early when training, right?"

'While you are kneeling down below, I am sitting on the throne and putting on stockings for the Queen Mother.'

Of course it was impossible for him to say such words.

"I happened to enter the palace yesterday and was taken to court by the empress. I was waiting behind the bead curtain. Later, the empress asked me to leave first."

"I see."

Su Chengji saw it clearly. With how favored Mr. Zhao is now, it is not surprising that he is standing next to the dragon chair to wait on him.

"Probably after you left, the Empress was so angry that she suspended all ministers who borrowed money from the treasury for no reason and investigated them. She also issued a death order saying that if the money owed was not returned within three days, their homes would be ransacked!"

'Basic sex.'

Zhao Cuo was not surprised by this.

"I have something to ask uncle."

He suddenly looked confused as if he remembered something.

"The empress mentioned something about frozen river hunting during her lecture yesterday. It seems that it was because of this that she discovered that the treasury was out of money. Is this it?"

"It's okay that you don't know."

Su Chengji's expression suddenly became solemn.

"This is a competition scheduled every eight years during the Taizu period with the Mobei Demon Court."

"Please uncle, please elaborate."

Zhao was very interested when he heard about this for the first time.

"This matter was actually brought about by the demon clan at the beginning, and slowly it turned into a grand event for the two of us to show off our national strength. Every time, in order to show its majesty, the imperial court would allocate a lot of money to organize important events, which are related to the dignity of the family and the country, so the empress is doing this
