Chapter 119
"Zhao Cuo, what do you think I should do?"

The queen mother looked up at the handsome young man standing in front of her.

"Isn't your empress always on the right path?"

Mr. Zhao Xiaogong certainly knows what this woman wants to do by now.

"You said."

she asked noncommittally.

"Da Yu may not be defeated by sending troops to the demon court now, but after the war, the vassal king will definitely turn against him, so this battle cannot be fought. Your Majesty has been reforming the administration of officials for these years. When the rivers and seas of the various prefectures are cleared, it is time to cut down the vassals, right? "

Zhao Cuo is still very clear about Dayu's current illness. The biggest chronic illness lies in those princes who rule by cracking the soil.

"However, if this palace takes action against the seven vassal kings, they will definitely rebel. Emperor Taizong proved this point 300 years ago."

"Ok?"

Unlearned and inexperienced, Zhao Xiaogong fell into confusion again.He has only learned about the current situation, and has not studied Dayu's history in depth.

"Emperor Taizong raised the butcher's knife against the vassal kings back then, and indeed cut off many little kings, but it also created the seven kings of today."

The empress dowager said with a cold face.

"At that time, the imperial court issued a land-dividing decree, ordering the vassal king to distribute the territory to many princes after his death. King Yan immediately linked up with the other six kings to attack Xiangjing. Taizong could only grant them hereditary titles to retain the sole inheritance rights of the eldest son. Only in this way can this war disaster be avoided.”

'The Tweeting Order came out and failed to cut down the feudal clan yet? '

Zhao Cuo was relieved to understand the almost unsolvable situation that Dayu was facing now.Sending troops to Mobei will cause the vassal king to rebel, and the war with the seven kings will cause the demon court to take the opportunity to go south.

"But the empress still can only cut down the feudal clan first."

Zhao wrongly stated the goal in the queen mother's heart. Judging from the fact that the bad woman took down the disobedient Daozong with thunderous means, she knew very well that she must first settle inside if she fights outside.

"Ah."

The empress dowager suddenly showed a contemptuous smile.

"Aren't these two obstacles trying to get the other side to jump on us first? So Dayu still has time to recharge his batteries. The most important thing right now is to fill up the national treasury."

"Then empress is going to negotiate peace with the demon court?"

Young Master Zhao looked at the Queen Mother Dayu suspiciously. To be honest, he didn't believe that the female devil would hold back her anger, not to mention the incident of hunting in the frozen river before.

"No."

The queen mother shook her head coldly.

"As long as I'm still alive, the Demon Court will not have the guts to go to war with Dayu. If they dare to plunder the border town, I should respond one or two."

"Is it too risky?"

Zhao misunderstood her idea of ​​starting a small-scale war with the Yaozu on the border. This can certainly show Dayu's toughness, but the Yaoting is really determined to attack in an all-round way. Reshuffle the cards and the winner will be the Seven Kings who form an alliance.

"I haven't lost yet."

The empress dowager said lightly, and then took out the arbitrariness of Gan Gang, and ordered an additional [-] troops to Duanmenguan.This kind of small-scale mobilization still can't hurt Dayu, but if it really causes hundreds of thousands of troops to mobilize, the people will suffer.

'Even the extraordinary world has to rely on human life to fight. '

Zhao Cuo sighed in his heart.Although the fire-raiser has the power to destroy the country alone, it can only exist as a strategic deterrent. Otherwise, if you destroy my city today, I will send saints to attack your camp tomorrow. In the end, it will become a full-scale jihad. I am afraid that even the mainland will be sunk.

Didn't you see that half a month ago, the battle to kill the Empress Dowager Zhao had been fought to a halt. At that time, those great sages of the monster race could have suppressed and killed Dayu Xungui who was present, but they didn't do so in order not to break the rules.

The mobei demon court attacked the border town by sending troops instead of demon saints.

"That's the arrangement for the matter of the demon court. The end of the year is approaching, and you should focus on the Great Court Meeting in the near future. If there is nothing to do, let's come here today."

The woman on the dragon chair spoke in an unquestionable tone, and the ministers in the palace were silent, and no one dared to question the fierce and mighty Empress Dowager Dayu who had taken down the Taoist sect.

"Retreat!"

With the sound of the eunuch's rooster's voice falling, only the empress dowager and Mr. Zhao Xiaogong were alone behind the bead curtain in the mighty Chaotian Palace.

"It's time for the minister to go home..."

Zhao Cuo tentatively said to the Queen Mother Zhao who was sitting in the big seat.

"Zhao Cuo, don't you think you can flirt with your sister at home all day long if you save your life?"

The Empress Dowager looked at him with a half-smile and said.

"Isn't it almost New Years..."

Zhao Cuo felt a "thump" in his heart.

"How did you see that Bengong intends to give you a vacation?"

The female devil spoke in a lazy tone.

"Didn't your empress just tell me to rest at home during this time?"

"It's just that today I will let you stay with your family, but you have been lying down for half a month, how long do you want to be lazy?"

"Yes……"

Zhao Xiaogong scolded the black-hearted capitalist in his heart.

"The Beijing official corruption case has entered the final stage. You, the chief official, should also participate in the final deliberation. After the case is concluded as soon as possible, you will report to the palace."

The Queen Mother said calmly.

"As ordered."

Zhao Cuo's eyes also became serious, knowing that this bad woman meant to let him intercede for those criminal relatives in front of all officials at that time, and she would follow the trend to pardon those innocent people who were implicated.

"You squat down."

The Empress Dowager suddenly smiled like a flower and hooked her hands at him.

'Think of me as some kind of pet, right? '

Zhao Cuo was very dissatisfied with her order, but he could only do so reluctantly when he thought that the female devil had promised to forgive those clansmen who were corrupt officials.

"Do you want to take a bath on New Year's Day?"

Empress Dowager Zhao cupped his face with a smile.

"It is written in Dayu's law that there will be seven days off during the New Year."

Grandpa Zhao tried to tell her that Spring Festival is a legal holiday.

"The criminal law also stipulates that officials who have embezzled more than 500 taels will be punished for five times, but I can save those people from being implicated with a single sentence. My words are more effective than the law."

The empress dowager gave an example to prove that she could not follow her words with Tianxian in her mouth.

'I'll hang you on the street lamp sooner or later! '

Knowing that his annual leave was gone, Zhao Cuo's mentality collapsed a bit.

"Zhao is wrong, if you want to rest for a day or two during the New Year, you have to work hard."

She lowered her small head to the ear of Young Master Zhao and said in a breathless voice.

"The corruption case of Beijing officials will definitely end before the year. During the New Year, the palace can let you rest for a day, and condescend to go out of the palace to accompany you on an outing."

"The Spring Festival will last for several days. Your Majesty will have to meet the sons of the vassal princes and the envoys from the small countries in the southern regions when the time comes, right? Don't waste your time on me."

Zhao Cuo resisted in his heart.
