Chapter 83: The World’s Son
Zhao Su back to the Qianqing Palace, deliberately first inquired about the Ministry of Rites left minister to fill the vacancy of the matter, and indeed heard that today’s morning court, the emperor has announced that the transfer of Fang Qingxue.
Although the Empress Dowager and her mother are not considered to be arch rivals, but Fang Qingxue is still biased towards the Empress Dowager, the Emperor actually appointed him, so it can be seen that the Empress Dowager did not lie, he really has compromised.
Ah, in that case, it seems that the emperor is still a bit conscientious, although he is willing to do so most likely because he doesn’t want to lose the Marquis of Qingyun as his right hand man, because a Marquis of Qingyun can be much more important than a Minister of Rites.
After inquiring about a round, she went into the Qianqing Palace.
The emperor looked over the zhang folds on his desk, his face did not look relaxed at the moment.
“I have just announced to let Fang Qingxue take over, they breath on so many folders against, this speed is not slow, just the usual share of official business, how do not see such speed?”
In the hall, only Yao Ting, the left general secretary of the general secretary, was present. General Secretary only tube zhang rust transmission, and no real power, also do not participate in politics, heard the emperor these words, Yao Ting slightly bowed body looking at the ground, did not answer.
The emperor put down the zhangzhi. “Yao Aiqing can retire.”
Yao Ting bowed deeply and withdrew.
At the entrance of the palace stood a few officials who were hovering, seeing Yao Ting come out they immediately greeted him, “Lord Yao, has the emperor read the folders? What did the emperor say?”
Yao Ting arched his hand towards them, “Forgive me, I’m only responsible for delivering the report, I don’t ask about political affairs. The folders have been submitted to the emperor, if you want to hear the reply, please wait patiently for the emperor to approve it.”
Yao Ting arched his hand towards them and lifted his steps to leave.
“Hey, Lord Yao! ……”
A few people were still undeterred and chased after him for a ride, but in the end, they couldn’t catch up with him and stopped at the bottom of the steps.
Zhao Su and Yao Ting met in the hipped corridor, with the memory of the original owner recognized him. However, they are not familiar with each other, so they did not greet each other. Just walked a paragraph and met a few muttering officials, words seem to be mentioning Fang Qingxue, but the wind of the mouth of these people is also quite tight, see someone, did not say what is important, then walked past.
Zhao Su arrived at the Qianqing Palace, the door under the probe to see, the temple is empty, do not know where the emperor. Is looking around when, behind the curtain bar in the west came the voice: “to enter into, sneaky do what?”
Zhao Su followed the voice, only to see the emperor sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking at this side.
Zhao Su walked in and bowed under the curtain bar, “Zhao Su see the emperor.”
The emperor looked at the top of her head, “Being so polite is not like you.”
Zhao Su raised his head, hehehe smile, into the curtain bar to go: “Emperor you don’t be so vindictive, I was just happy yesterday, so I just came over to dance to express the mood, and not intentionally rude.”
The emperor said: “The dance is good.”
Zhao Su gave a beat: “You are here again.”
The emperor put down the folders in his hand, “What’s the matter?”
“Nothing. I just learned from the Empress Dowager that it was the Emperor’s effort to get me out of the palace, so I came here to thank you. Then please be generous and don’t take into account my past rudeness.”
“So to say is quite conscientious.”
“My character wasn’t bad in the first place! When you have the chance in the future, you’ll know more about me and you’ll know.” There aren’t many good young people like her with five words and four virtues, he has to cherish them and not squeeze her day in and day out!
The emperor opened his fan and gently shook it a few times, “Since you’re here to give thanks, then talk less about useless things, is there any practical indication?”
Zhao Su said, “The weather is getting hot, I’ll make you something to drink! The juice I drank yesterday, I’ll go squeeze a pot for you!”
The emperor slanted his eyes over, “So my help is so worthless.”
“…… Then what do you think is worth it?”
The emperor put the zhang fold down. “Drink to be, and of course food. I have sacrificed so much to save you, you not only have to do it, but also have to think carefully about how to do it better.”
“All right,” Zhao Su also preoccupied, “then a luncheon!”
“One meal?” The emperor seemed to feel insulted, “Is that how you know how to repay?”
“…… Otherwise?”
She would only be able to cook, cooking is not good enough?
The fan in the emperor’s hand resumed shaking, “One month of imperial meals.”
“One month?!”
She didn’t hear wrong, did she? Opened on a month, why don’t you open up and say a year’s worth of meals for her to take care of? Do you really take her as a cook?
Although she loved cooking, cooking for her own family and friends and cooking for a capitalist were two different things, okay? Moreover, this capitalist had put her by his side as a guard with the purpose of oppressing her!
Even if he helped her out this time, to be frank, he deserved it, if it wasn’t for him, how could she have been punished by Empress Lu?
The essence of a landlord class capitalist oppressing people could not be covered up by a little act of kindness once in a while!
“It’s too long, three meals is more like it.”
“I am the True Dragon Son of Heaven, I don’t easily give people favors to help, just this face of mine is already enough for three meals, right? Not to mention that I also ran to give you sent food. You talk like this, can let people not see you have a little sincerity.”
“You’ve only sent it that one time in total!”
“You still think it’s too little? When other guards make mistakes, I directly have Four Happiness send them plates.”
Fine.
Zhao Su didn’t want to talk to him anymore.
She kind of saw through it, this guy was not only exploitative, but also shameless!
But to just leave like this would be tantamount to dropping a talking point on him for nothing.
She thought for a moment, “It’s okay to do it, can I ask you about something?”
“You may tell me.”
“Will Shi En return to his post at the Ministry of Rites?”
“That’s a matter of court politics.”
It meant that she couldn’t ask. Zhao Su said, “I know, I just wanted to see if you’d say anything.”
The emperor thought for a moment, his body crooked on the welcome pillow, and compared three fingers, “Three months.”
“What?”
“Be good and cook for me for three months, I can tell you.”
This is blatant blackmail?
Zhao Su instantly collapsed: “Farewell!”
A scholar can be killed but not humiliated.
The emperor watched her pull her legs out the door and did not call out to her.
When she reached the palace gates, she stood at one stop, stomped her foot and fell back, holding out a finger: “One month! No more!”
“No repeats.”
“Deal!”
Zhao Su put down two words, “You say it!”
The emperor picked up his fan and shook it. “This matter is difficult. Now that I want to transfer Fang Qingxue to take Shi En’s place there are so many people who are unwilling, let alone letting Shi En return to the Ministry of Rites.”
“You’re the emperor, surely you have a way to make them obey!”
“But didn’t you say that to be an emperor you must also convince people with virtue? How can I deter them from obeying?”
“……”
The emperor looked at her dumbfounded face, and after a bitterly cold morning, a little spring breeze finally surfaced.
