Chapter 133 The Empress Wants to Tour the South (March [-]th Supplement)
"The loyal words of the old minister are harsh, please forgive me, the empress."

Minister of the Ministry of Justice lowered his head and said in a panicked tone.

"I really don't know that this matter is the plan of Qi State?"

The Empress Dowager Dayu's icy voice was suppressed.

"How many years have the seven vassal kings not sent their sons to Beijing? Why did they send a crown prince this time and he just passed away? Today, when the prince of Qi died, I made a compromise. The king of Qi is not just writing letters. He has to send a mission to intimidate the palace!"

"Niangniang Shengming!"

Sima Yu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, complimented him loudly.

"As a minister, you can't see the situation clearly, and you are talking nonsense in this court? If you dare to do it again, you will go home and farm."

Hearing these bone-chilling words sent chills down the spine of all civil and military officials!To be honest, they didn't think there was anything wrong with Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, and the empress dowager had always spoken out widely and never been convicted for her words. Today, Shangshu Sima just said something unfavorable to Mr. Zhao and was almost dismissed from office?
"You courtiers who are all high-ranking officials and rich salaries will only talk nonsense here?"

Ask the Queen Mother coldly!
"The old minister has something to say."

A purple-robed official standing at the front came out.

"If the matter of the prince of Qi is really a trick, then the king of Qi is trying to blackmail the court. If we follow his will, wouldn't I, Dayu, be deceived by everyone? Then the seven kings may not really dare to rebel. This time, we should not compromise. Be tough."

"What if the Seven Great Feudal Kings really want to fight back?"

Someone questioned.

"The imperial court can only advance but not retreat!"

Courtiers with different views began to quarrel.

"Zhao is wrong, you said."

The Empress Dowager spoke calmly to silence the dispute.

"Yes."

Many courtiers looked at this handsome young man who stepped forward with different eyes. Judging from the photo of the Queen Mother scolding the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment just now, they knew what kind of holy favor this Young Master Zhao has.

"In my opinion, it is absolutely impossible to cede the land."

Zhao made a typo and said carefully.

"Today we cut five cities, and tomorrow we cut ten cities. Dayu will perish under the condition of one ebb and the other."

"It makes sense!"

The old official who advocated taking tough measures against the Seven Kings just now nodded with a smile.

"But if the Seven Kings really turn against each other, if we fight among ourselves, I'm afraid we will perish in the end."

The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment said the words of punishment.The subjugation of the country is nothing more than a change of dynasty, but letting the demon court occupy the land where the human race has lived for generations, isn't this the subjugation of the world?
"This palace has made up its mind."

The aloof Empress Dowager Dayu suddenly spoke.

"Please ask the empress dowager to be arbitrary!"

The courtiers immediately shouted in unison, the Chaotian Palace is in accordance with the Queen Mother's words, they can only propose but not make a decision.

"The six ministers listened to the order, and started to prepare for the trip today. The palace is going to tour the south!"

"This……"

All the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned for a moment, and belatedly understood the Queen Mother Zhao's intentions, and someone jumped out immediately.

"Your Majesty, don't risk yourself. If the Seven Kings rebel, they will seize the south of the Yangtze River. If you make a mistake, it will be all over!"

"The Jiangnan and Jiangbei prefectures are important sources of money, food and taxation for the imperial court. Once they lose their defense, the consequences will be unimaginable. Apart from deterring the kings, this move will also clean up the bad governance of the two places and strengthen the defense of the dangerous city. You don't need to persuade me any more."

The empress dowager said unhurriedly, and the courtiers did not dare to say more, because the terrain of the Jiangnan mansion was really dangerous.

King Qi's feudal state is near the Liangjiang area.

Tigers have been sleeping on the side of this couch for hundreds of years.

"My palace will leave Beijing after the next year. At that time, the ministers of the Privy Council will assist the emperor to oversee the country. Do you have any suggestions?"

No one raised any objections to her words, and no one would think that the emperor would have a chance to regain power when the empress dowager left Beijing, because the Privy Council was the small court of confidants formed after the female devil disbanded the cabinet.

"Another purpose."

Immediately following the Queen Mother Zhao's words, a privy envoy sitting in the gallery picked up a pen.

"Appoint Zheng Guogong, the governor of Jiangnan, Zhao Gan as the governor of Liangjiang, add the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, and charter to control the troops of Jiangnan and Jiangbei."

As soon as this order came out, the civil and military ministers present were completely paralyzed. For a moment, they felt that the Zhao family deserved to be a wealthy family that has survived for 400 years.

The governor of Liangjiang is one of the ten most senior officials in the frontier of Dayu!He was also given special military power, which shows how deeply the Zhao family is trusted by the Queen Mother in power.

This Yizhi directly turned Zheng Guogong into the "King of the South of the Yangtze River" who held the military and political power of the two governments.

'Couldn't it be because of the restless King Qi that my father was relegated to Jiangnan without saying a word? '

Zhao Cuo felt more and more how unfathomable the female devil was.

"Is there anything else you guys want to play?"

Empress Dowager Dayu continued to ask.

"Report to the empress."

Hubu Shangshu came out.

"The silver required for the southern tour is huge, and the national inventory of silver may not be able to support it. This..."

"After the year, a batch of tax money will be shipped to Beijing. If it is not enough, it will be transferred from various prefectures. Is there any doubt?"

"I understand."

After several ministers reported some matters, the court became quiet until the queen mother announced her withdrawal from the court.

"Zhao made a mistake and you stayed."

Mr. Zhao, who still wanted to go home and have lunch with his sister, could only stop and watch the officials who smiled kindly at him leave, while he could only walk under the bead curtain to obey orders.

"Come to this palace."

The picture of the queen mother is still flat and indifferent.

"Yes."

After Zhao Cuo walked into the curtain cautiously, the empress dowager in a black chest-length skirt was sitting on the dragon chair, her head hanging down in thought.

He didn't bother him before and after he walked up. The one in front of him was the ruler of the dynasty, who could even be crowned emperor at any time. He was not to be offended.

In this atmosphere, if he dared to hug her and kiss her, he would definitely slap her on the ground.

"Are you afraid that this palace will hand you over to King Qi?"

Empress Dowager Zhao suddenly raised her fair face and smiled jokingly at him.

"I was so worried that I planned to hide in the Xunshan Academy..."

As soon as Zhao Cuo said this, he saw that the eyes of the bad woman gradually turned cold.

"But after that, I didn't panic at all. With your arrogance, you won't compromise with anyone."

His sincere words made the Empress Dowager look even more dangerous. She raised her hand to pinch Zhao Xiaogong's side, and her slender jade fingers gradually increased their strength.

"You're quite accurate about Ben Gong's mind. You said the words that would make me angry and satisfied in two separate times. Do you want me to show you the performance of turning my face faster than turning the book?"

"I wish the Empress Dowager a triumphant return from her southern tour in advance."

Zhao Cuo said without changing his face.

"Ah."

Queen Mother Zhao sneered, and suddenly stretched out her hand forcefully to pull Young Master Zhao onto the dragon chair, and proudly leaned forward to peck his fair face lightly.

"Are you daydreaming? Of course, I will take you on the southern tour of the Palace. You must be prepared to be lucky at any time along the way."
