National teacher, your empress is too sassy

Chapter 69 What Your Majesty Said Is Very True
Cheng Engong was surprised, his niece's ambition is not small!

He pondered for a long time before saying: "Then do it according to His Majesty's wishes."

If she can really do what she thinks, then it will kill three birds with one stone.

According to his understanding of her these days, she should have made enough preparations to say that.

"Well, uncle said so, so I ordered Wang Hao and General Hussars to act." Gu Shu smiled lightly.

In fact, she said that this was not a discussion with her uncle, but a notice.

She had already made up her mind.

Cheng Engong didn't know that Gu Shu just told him this time, he smiled helplessly, and then said respectfully: "I hope that your Majesty's wish will come true."

"Uncle is too polite."

After finishing speaking, Gu Shucai asked again: "Cousin has already arrived in Hanzhou, do you think he can capture Gu Cuishan within a few days?"

Hearing this, Cheng Engong was taken aback.

This question...he is not easy to answer.

According to what he knew about his son, An'er should completely solve the banditry in Hanzhou within a month.

But what he is facing now is the Empress, and what he said has become a military order.

Once Joan cannot complete the task within the deadline, neither he nor Joan will be able to get along.

Seeing Cheng Engong showing embarrassment and remaining silent for a while, Gu Shu smiled helplessly.

"I'm just asking casually, uncle don't need to be nervous."

"Huh?!" Chen Engong nodded repeatedly.

"Since His Majesty said so, then I dare to say so."

"Well, tell me." Gu Shu looked at Cheng Engong with a smile.

She wants to see if what her uncle said is the same as what she guessed.

"If there are no major changes, An'er should be able to completely end the banditry in Hanzhou within a month."

"Uncle thinks the same as I do." Gu Shu laughed.

Chen Engong was startled for a moment, and then laughed along with Gu Shu.

After laughing, he said respectfully again: "The Ministry of Rites has already fixed the date for Mingtai Zhaoyi's funeral."

Hearing Ming Tai Zhaoyi, the smile on Gu Shu's face completely disappeared.

"When?"

That Mingtai Zhaoyi was uneasy and kind, and just after her father's death, she tricked the concubine next to her to deal with her. She didn't want to give him face at all.

But helplessly, the Song family is powerful, and Ming Tai Zhaoyi was her father's favorite concubine during her lifetime.

No matter how displeased she was, she could only bury him with the etiquette of a concubine.

"The day after tomorrow."

After answering, Cheng Engong frowned again and said: "Your Majesty wants to issue an imperial decree to promote Mingtai Zhaoyi to the first rank?"

Zhaoyi is the head of the nine concubines, and she is a concubine of the second rank.

Further up, there are concubines, wives and fourth concubines.

"Didn't I break the rules and let her hold the funeral with the standard of a first-rank concubine?" Gu Shu was a little displeased.

She really didn't want to be promoted to the position of that vicious woman who was restless and kind.

Seeing this, Cheng Engong secretly sighed.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to be willful! I know that you don't like Ming Tai Zhaoyi, but now is the time when everything is waiting to be done, you can't push the Song family into a hurry."

After hesitating for a while, Cheng Engong finally bit the bullet and advised Gu Shu.

Gu Shu raised her eyebrows, very dissatisfied.

After a long time, she said coldly: "Then according to uncle's opinion, how should I give her a promotion?"

Before Chen Engong could say anything, she said in a deep voice, "The virtuous and Shude four concubines are still alive."

The implication is that she will not give Mingtai Zhaoyi the honor of being a first-rank concubine.

Seeing her let go, Chen Engong was very happy, so why would he have any objections?
He smiled directly: "Your Majesty is very right."
