Chapter 72 Frozen River Hunting
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take on the big job!"

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

No matter who does this matter, it will be regarded as a thorn in the eyes of the Beijing officials who have ghosts in their hearts.

Moreover, he was carrying a dragon vein worm, wasn't he committing suicide because he worked so hard for the Dayu Kingdom?
"If I let you do it, it means you can do it."

The queen mother said in an unquestionable tone.

"But……"

"Don't talk back."

She raised her petite jade feet covered in semi-transparent black silk and lightly kicked Mr. Zhao's calf.

"This palace knows that this is a bit dangerous."

The Empress Dowager spoke lightly, then stretched out her hand to hold his cheek with a smile, leaned forward and said affectionately:

"You should be able to understand why I have arranged things for you one after another, right? I will adjust you slowly while you are still young, so you can obediently listen to my arrangements, okay?"

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

Zhao Cuo, who was not bewitched by her at all, slandered.

"I wish to clean up the turbidity of the world for your empress."

Zhao Xiaogong could only nod even if he felt 1 reluctance in his heart.

"So nice."

The Queen Mother Zhao nodded in satisfaction, then stepped on his thigh with her delicate feet in black silk, and said with a smile:

"I reward you for massaging Ben Gong's feet."

'I thank you! '

Zhao Cuo knew that it was useless to refuse, so he raised his hand to hold her tender feet without saying anything, and pressed her silky and warm soles hard to vent his anger.

With more physical contact with this woman, he also had a question in his heart.

Why is the normal body temperature of the female devil several degrees higher than that of normal people?
"Why is your empress so hot?"

he asked out of his mouth.

"It's just practicing a special technique."

Queen Mother Zhao raised her thin eyebrows.

"You don't like it?"

"No."

Wondering what to like or not, Zhao Cuo quieted down.

"I will make an order for you to handle this matter later."

The Empress Dowager said unhurriedly.

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

"Yes……"

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

"and also."

Zhao Qinglan suddenly stretched out her hand to pinch his chin with a smile again.

"This palace will give you the power to do things. If you value an official with outstanding ability, you can directly recruit them. When you employ people, you are allowed to promise them rewards within the normal range."

"Thank you madam."

Zhao nodded belatedly.

Thinking about it carefully, he seems to have a lot of opportunities to ruin the country's destiny by taking over this job!

The female devil gave him such exaggerated power, so the room for manipulation became larger.

"You go back now."

The Empress Dowager Zhao withdrew her jade hand that was caressing his cheek, her face gradually turned cold, and said with a soft snort:

"First, I personally take care of these damned people who are standing in the golden hall. I will give you a decree in a few days. You can just wait at home with peace of mind."

"Wei Chen retire."

Zhao wrongly got up and bowed.

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

The empress dowager said while sitting on the dragon chair, shaking her little black silk feet.

"Sir, please come with me."

Feiwu, who looks at her master and the young man every day, said to Zhao Cuo respectfully.

"It's work."

Zhao Cuo politely returned the gift before stepping up to follow.

It was completely dark when he left the imperial city in the carriage.

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

"The empress dowager allowed me to call the officials of the capital at will. Of course, for such a big matter, I must find one or two crouching dragons and phoenixes to assist me. I must ensure that this matter is done so that the woman will not trouble me."

Zhao Cuo was thinking about how to do things well and badly along the way.

After returning home, he let go of his worries and finished dinner with sister Xiangxin.

He didn't intend to give the bellyband or anything to Miss Zhao himself. Given her temperament, she might not know what her reaction would be. Anyway, these things have been on the market in the past few days, so let my sister go and buy them by herself.

……

"I have to ask Uncle Chengji what to do about this Beijing official corruption case..."

Early the next morning, Zhao Cuo drove to the execution office as usual.

"Come in."

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

"Uncle Chengji."

Zhao wrongly smiled and said hello.

"Ah."

Su Chengji's complexion was not so good-looking and he smiled reluctantly at him.

"The Deputy Director of the Execution Department is the official position of the second grade. Uncle Chengji should have been in the Chaotian Palace yesterday evening. Seeing this, the Queen Mother was furious after I left, right?" '

Zhao Cuo, who had this thought in his mind, gently pulled the stool away and sat down.

"How did your empress deal with the many ministers who took money from the treasury yesterday?"

Zhao Xiaogong, who never beat around the bush with his family, asked.

"Cough cough!"

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

"No fault you know so soon?"

He looked at Zhao Cuo in astonishment.The empress dowager scolded all the officials angrily, or was it last night, and the news had already spread by dawn?

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

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

"Why didn't I see you?" Su Chengji looked at him suspiciously, "You can't leave early even if the empress dowager scolds you?"

'When you were kneeling below, I was sitting on the Dragon Throne to put on silk stockings for the empress dowager. '

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

"I happened to enter the palace yesterday and was taken by my empress to court. At that time, I was serving behind the bead curtain, and my empress told me to leave first."

"I see."

Su Chengji's eyes were clear, and given how favored Zhao Xiaogong is now, it's not surprising to stand by the dragon chair and wait on him.

"It should be after you left that the empress was so angry that she suspended all the ministers who borrowed from the treasury for no reason, and issued a death order saying that if they don't return the owed money within three days, they will directly search their homes!"

'Foundation. '

Zhao Cuo was not surprised by this.

"I have something to ask my uncle."

He suddenly looked puzzled as if he remembered something.

"Your Majesty mentioned something about hunting in the frozen river in the lecture yesterday. It seems that it is because of this that she found out that the treasury has no money. Is this?"

"No fault, it's normal that you don't know."

Su Chengji's face suddenly became serious.

"This is a competition set up by the Taizu period to be held with the Mobei Demon Court every eight years."

"Uncle, please explain in detail."

Zhao, who heard about this for the first time, became interested by mistake.

"In the beginning, this matter was actually created by the Yaozu, and gradually it became a grand event for the two of us to show off our national power. Every time, the imperial court allocates a lot of money to deal with major events in order to show our majesty. It is related to the dignity of the family and the country. The thunder will be furious next time, and I don't know how many people will die in this corruption case of Beijing officials."
