Chapter 149 Want to Open the Window, Lift the Ceiling

"People from these aristocratic families are all in groups, no matter which one goes out, they can all benefit from it."

"Why doesn't Your Majesty select the family that has the least interest in the interests of the many families, so that the people of those families will not only lose their benefits."

"The family chosen by His Majesty will definitely be grateful to His Majesty. If things go on like this, it is not impossible for His Majesty to subdue that family."

The emperor has always wanted to take back the power in his hands, but the power in the court is firmly in the hands of those aristocratic families. What the emperor wants is that the power can be in his own hands.

And Cheng Wudi climbed up step by step from a soldier when the queen mother fought against other races.

He didn't have much affection for those aristocratic families. Strictly speaking, like Jiang Zhao, he also rose from a humble family.

Moreover, Cheng Wudi is the most uninhibited person. Although it is for the benefit of the family, he also can't understand the behavior of those aristocratic families who are squeezing the people's fat and anointing, and at the same time flaunting themselves as an upright official.

In his words, he wants to be a bitch and set up a chastity archway.

So those aristocratic families didn't deal with Cheng Wudi, and Cheng Wudi couldn't understand them either.

He was single-handedly promoted by the Queen Mother, so he is only loyal to the Queen Mother.

If the emperor wants to take back the imperial power, it is easiest to start with this kind of person.

If Cheng Wudi can be brought under his command, the emperor will definitely be of great help.

The emperor nodded after hearing Jiang Zhao's words, thinking that what Jiang Zhao said made sense.

Cheng Wudi was single-handedly promoted by his own mother, and he also understands that he is not like those aristocratic families who are only loyal to their own interests.

As long as they have loyal people, it's easy to strike, for fear that these people are only loyal to their own interests.

From the very beginning, his heart has always been for Cheng Wudi. If he can take Cheng Wudi under his command, it will be the first step for him to take back his military power.

The emperor glanced at Jiang Zhao with satisfaction, and he was right at the beginning.

It's just how to get the ministers in the court to agree to Cheng Wudi's going to the border, after all, those aristocratic families are not used to Cheng Wudi.

At the court meeting tomorrow, if he announced that he would let Cheng Wudi go on the expedition, he would definitely be opposed.

Thinking about it, the emperor frowned unconsciously.

Seeing the emperor frowning, Jiang Zhao also guessed what he was thinking, so he said.

"Has your Majesty heard a word?"

"What?"

The emperor didn't know what Jiang Zhao was going to say, so he asked.

Jiang Zhao bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, have you heard that if you want to open a window, but everyone disagrees, but if you want to lift the roof, then others will agree to you to open the window."

The emperor didn't understand what Jiang Zhao meant. What did Cheng Wudi have to do with the windows and the roof?
Seeing that the emperor didn't understand, Jiang Zhao changed his meaning and explained.

"To put it bluntly, it's the lesser of the two evils. If His Majesty said to let General Cheng go to the border from the beginning, everyone would definitely not agree."

"But His Majesty said that he wants to go to the imperial conquest personally. Compared with the personal conquest by the imperial convoy, it will be easier for everyone to accept General Cheng's expedition."

The emperor didn't expect to be able to play like this, so he clapped his hands and said excitedly.

"Wonderful, Jiang Aiqing is really a god!"

Jiang Zhao said modestly, "Your Majesty, I'm honored."

"Jiang Aiqing solved a problem that has troubled me for a long time, what reward do you want?"

The emperor asked, Jiang Zhao solved all the troubled emperors for him, he had to reward Jiang Zhao well.

Don't let Jiang Zhao feel that he is too petty, so that he runs to the other side of the family.

If Jiang Zhao was a man, the emperor would naturally not be worried.

But Jiang Zhao happened to be a woman, and those aristocratic families were holding back their energy and wanted to marry Jiang Zhao back home.

Thinking of this, the emperor took a closer look at Jiang Zhao.

Although Jiang Zhao is now wearing an official uniform and a hat on her head, this does not affect her appearance.

Hands are like catkins, skin is like creamy fat, collar is like grub, teeth are like gourd rhinoceros, eyebrows are full of crescents, smile is charming, and eyes are beautiful.

She has a beautiful and fair little face, even if it is an exaggeration to put the most beautiful adjective in the world on her.

Even the emperor, who was used to seeing beautiful women, could no longer ignore Jiang Zhao's appearance after taking a closer look at her.

Previously, I only thought that she was knowledgeable and talented, and that she was top-notch among men.

Now it seems that her appearance is also top-notch among women.

"Is Jiang Aiqing interested in entering the palace as my concubine?"

Looking at Jiang Zhao's beautiful appearance, the emperor couldn't help asking.

But after he reacted, he regretted asking that.

He was a little annoyed, why did he see Jiang Zhao's appearance like this.

What if Jiang Zhao thought he was a fool?
Then he quickly explained: "I'm just asking casually, Jiang Aiqing don't want to take it to heart."

Jiang Zhao was still a little dazed when asked by the emperor.

Why did the emperor suddenly want to let himself enter the palace as a concubine?
Just as she was thinking about how to refuse, the emperor said that she was just asking casually, and she was not sure what the emperor was thinking for a while.

But he still cupped his hands and said: "The humble minister has an ugly face, how can he enter His Majesty's harem, but he has read a few more books and can show off in front of His Majesty."

"If you enter the palace, I'm afraid you will disappear from everyone."

The emperor should understand her obvious refusal.

Hearing her saying that she was ugly, the emperor couldn't help thinking that if she was ugly, there would be no good-looking people in this world.

But the emperor didn't care too much.

"I heard that you once gave Gu Hongyuan a firework, is there such a thing?"

This topic has to be said, the turn is a bit blunt, Jiang Zhao thought in his heart.

But it also relieved the embarrassment brought about by entering the palace just now.

"That's right, on the day of Mr. Gu's birthday, I gave Mr. Gu a fireworks as a congratulatory gift."

Jiang Zhao nodded, and generously admitted that she could already think of what the emperor would say next.

"The New Year's Eve is approaching, and the palace will give a banquet to all the officials. I wonder if Jiang Aiqing can send some fireworks into the palace. At the New Year's Eve, all the officials will be rewarded and entertained."

really.

Can she say no?
Does she dare to say no?
She couldn't and didn't dare.

I can only bow my hands honestly and say: "Yes, I will make fireworks when I go back, and send them to the palace after the fireworks are made."

With a wave of his hand, the emperor released Jiang Zhao's annual leave in advance.

"Since that's the case, then you can make fireworks at home with peace of mind. Over at the Imperial Academy, I will greet Song Hongyi. During this time, you don't have to go to the Imperial Academy every day to be on duty."

After all, it takes time to make fireworks, and he is embarrassed to prostitute for nothing while oppressing others.

When Jiang Zhao heard that she didn't have to get up early every day to go to the Imperial Academy to get her hair done, her face was happy. With the leave, she would not have to go to the Imperial Academy every day to get her hair done.

And getting up early in winter is too painful, and now she can sleep every day until the sun rises.
