Chapter 104 That Silver-haired Demeanor
"My lady, please take a look."

The servant of the Ministry of Rites bowed down and respectfully led the empress dowager into the grand and ancient arena. All the accompanying officials kept their eyes on each other. Only a handsome boy who was walking side by side with a red-haired girl looked around curiously. .

"This is the champion platform built by Emperor Taizu's order. It means to crown the world with merit. The young hero who won the title of the first warrior is named the champion uncle!"

A group of people walked onto the arena that was as big as a football field in the eyes of Mr. Zhao.

"Has the station been reinforced and refurbished to the highest specification?"

Empress Dowager Zhao raised her jade feet and lightly stepped on the earth-gray floor tiles.

"Thanks to Mr. Zhao Xiaogong's continuous delivery of the recovered stolen silver to the household department, we were able to repair this championship platform according to the old system. The monks in the third realm will never shake it!"

An old official in crimson official uniform stepped forward and replied.

"How is the construction of the building used to entertain the demon court envoys going?"

The empress dowager continued to ask unhurriedly.

"It's all built as usual." The servant of the Ministry of Rites raised his hand again and made a "please" gesture, "If you want to make a tour, please go this way."

These officials, who had worked hard in the frontier for two months, presented the results to the Empress Dowager Dayu tremblingly, carefully considering every word they said, for fear that the devil would be dissatisfied in the slightest.

"You have done meritorious service. After this winter hunt, you will be rewarded when you return to the capital."

After wandering against the cold wind for more than an hour, the strict empress dowager finally nodded in approval, and the accompanying officials immediately let out a sigh of relief.

"Thank you madam!"

"You can go back now. Young Master Zhao seems to be very interested in the champion's platform. I will take him there for a walk."

She made no secret of her special encounter with Zhao Cuo.

"It's not necessary..."

Mr. Zhao Xiaogong didn't want to be alone with this bad woman.

"Ok?"

Zhao Qinglan squinted her pale gold and swept towards him.

"What I mean is that your mother should not waste her precious time on me."

He said without changing his face.

"You still dare to make decisions for this palace?"

Show resentment from the back of the photo!The ministers who were just about to leave fell silent, and consciously took a few steps back, bowed their heads and lowered their heads.

"Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to teach your servants."

Zhao Cuo was afraid that this bad woman would reprimand him in public for "having unreasonable thoughts about the queen mother".

"Unscrupulous thing!"

The empress dowager snorted.

"I'm waiting to retire."

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder between the two eased, the officials who froze in place dared to speak out, and retreated cautiously after getting permission.

"Do you want to be the champion of this generation?"

Zhao Cuo followed the female devil back to the arena.

"Why do you ask that all of a sudden?"

He looked at the golden-eyed woman beside him in a strange way.

"Although this title cannot be hereditary, it is also a supreme honor... Don't you want it?"

Empress Dowager Zhao led the teenagers beside her to the highest point along the auditorium of the champion platform.

"The minister's low cultivation base may be powerless to fight for."

Zhao Cuo really didn't think he could leapfrog those young geniuses.

"This palace will show you the frozen river."

She took Grandpa Zhao's hand and walked up to the tower unhurriedly. Zhao stood on the wrong side and looked around. What appeared in his eyes was a pale glacier that cut across the wilderness.

"That's the Mobei Grassland over there?"

Zhao Cuo raised his finger and pointed to the opposite bank of the completely frozen river, where it was barren and uninhabited, and the only color was the withered grass.

"The Yaozu is a group that has lived on such a bad land for generations."

There were no mood swings on the Queen Mother's delicate face.

"Do you know who the champion uncles of the last session or earlier were?"

"A rising star in Mobei Demon Court?"

Although Zhao Cuo didn't understand this aspect, but she suddenly asked this question at this time, the answer was obvious.

"So you understand?"

The corner of the Empress Dowager Dayu's mouth outlined an indifferent arc.

"The reason why Emperor Taizu called this grand event a hunt was because the hunters at that time were human races, but now the offensive and defensive positions have already changed."

Zhao Cuo nodded with doubts on his face. I don't know why the female devil suddenly became worried about the country and the people with him. Can he, a hidden traitor, not see the decline of Dayu?
"400 years ago, the Mobei Demon Court crossed the frozen river from here, fought all the way to the imperial city of the former Daxuan Kingdom, and entered the Central Plains. At that time, the Emperor Taizu of my Dayu rebelled from the south of the Yangtze River, and finally took back the world. The human race has become a lost dog."

"Your Majesty is worried that the monster clan will make a comeback?"

"wrong."

The Queen Mother shook her head with a smile.

"What's there to worry about when it's bound to happen?"

Zhao Cuo still didn't understand why she suddenly said these things to herself.

"You asked for the gold medal for avoiding death for the Zhao family a few days ago, and now I agree."

She turned to face Zhao Cuo, the smile on the corner of Fen Run's mouth gradually became wanton, and she slowly raised her right hand and spread her slender five fingers.

"Do you know why I love you so much?"

"I don't know..."

Looking at the beautiful smile on her delicate face, Zhao Cuo suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Of course it's because of a backbone like you that I can support the future generations that I want."

She expressed her selfish desires without hesitation.

"But everything has a price."

Empress Dowager Zhao stretched out Bai Shengsheng's jade hand in front of his eyes, her eyes gradually became cold, and her vermilion lips parted slightly:
"What if my five fingers are disobedient now? We must kill all the worms inside, so that we can hold all the power in our fists."

Zhao Cuo's complexion changed and he realized what she wanted to say.

"Regarding the Beijing official corruption case, you asked me to pardon the relatives of those officials who committed the crime. The answer I gave at the time was not bad, but no matter how you think about it, you know that this is impossible, right?"

She said in a cold tone.

"After the frozen river hunt, I will ask the Ministry of Criminal Justice to punish those corrupt officials severely according to the law. Only in this way can we qualify as the beginning of the reform."

"Your Majesty promised me that I would forgive those relatives who committed crimes!"

Zhao Cuo stared at her with wide eyes!
"The winter hunting can be held smoothly now, it is the result of Ji Ming's lenient handling of the case with your approval! That's why the money that was embezzled was recovered! How can the subjects of the world be convinced if the empress is so contradictory?"

"Is it because I didn't keep my word?"

The Empress Dowager pursed her lips and smiled lightly.

"Could it be that Young Master Zhao misunderstood what I meant, and promised those corrupt officials that he could keep his family relatives without authorization? My palace has never issued a single decree from the beginning to the end."

"you!"

Zhao Cuo immediately clenched his fists!
"It was you who gave them the fire by mistake and then smothered it hard."

Zhao Qinglan smiled contemptuously, then raised her hand lovingly to hold his cheek gently.

"Your biggest shortcoming is that you are too soft-hearted. After returning to the capital, I will arrange for you to supervise and execute those criminal officials and their families? The reward promised to you just now will not be fake, and I will make a decree to spread to the world later. Be obedient Listen, I can give you anything, okay?"

Zhao Cuomu looked at the red-haired girl who turned away with her entourage after she finished speaking. She stood alone on a high place for a long time, and finally turned her head to glance at the frozen boundary river before slowly walking down the champion platform.

With a blank expression on his face, he walked back to the other courtyard in the small town with stiff steps.

Suddenly, the beautiful long hair of bright silver reinjected the spirit into his dull pupils...
