Chapter 159 The Emperor's Spokesperson

So Cheng Wudi's expedition was perfectly settled, and these ministers had nothing to say.

After all, as soon as they said something, the words "Yu Jia's personal conquest" would pop out of the emperor's mouth, forcing them to compromise.

The emperor asked Gu Hongyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, to prepare well for Cheng Wudi's expedition.

Today, Jiang Zhao and Chu Yao are practicing in the courtyard.

In the past two days, Huaxie's voice has improved a lot, her speech is not as rough as before, and her voice is visibly charming to the naked eye.

Huaxie herself is very happy, and now she is even more energetic to practice with Chu Yao.

Jiang Zhao was examining Chu Yao's dancing posture, correcting any mistakes she made in her movements one by one.

"Dong dong dong dong-"

There was a loud knock on the door.

Several people in the courtyard turned their heads to look at the sound.

Jiang Zhao said to everyone, "I'll go and open the door."

She trotted all the way to the gate, pushed it open, and saw Cheng Wudi standing outside with a wine jar and some things.

"General Cheng, why are you here?"

Judging by Cheng Wudi's appearance, could it be that the person for the expedition has been selected?
It seems that the emperor should have finished this matter and let Cheng Wudi go to the border.

"I came to drink with you. Your Majesty has ordered me to go to the border in three days."

Cheng Wudi laughed and said.

As he spoke, he shook the Huadiao wine in his hand like Jiang Zhao.

"Today I specially brought a bottle of 20-year-old Huadiao, and we should have a good drink today."

Jiang Zhao looked at Cheng Wudi suspiciously. He went to the border to fight, what kind of wine did he come to find himself?

Cheng Wudi didn't care about her doubts, and walked into the mansion with one big foot.

Yelling while walking.

"Hurry up, hurry up, the meal will be cooked in a while."

Jiang Zhao had no choice but to follow behind him.

Cheng Wudi looked familiar and asked Jiu Qi who was squatting in the pavilion enjoying the singing and dancing.

"Young man, where is the dining room in your house?"

Jiu Qi looked at Cheng Wudi, who was nine feet tall, muscular, and tanned like a coal ball, just like a walking black bear.

He swallowed a little scared, and then reached out to point him in the direction.

Cheng Wudi laughed and walked forward, not forgetting to urge Jiang Zhao who was following behind him.

"Xiao Jiang, hurry up and follow me, don't hesitate."

Xiao Jiang had no choice but to drag along behind Cheng Wudi, not knowing what he was going to do this time, it felt like he was here for a meal.

Jiang Zhao was still thinking about whether the food Nanny Ding bought today would be enough for this large group of people.

Cheng Wudi had already walked into the dining room, and Nanny Ding brought some bowls and chopsticks and put them on the dining table with great insight.

He unplugged the Huadiao wine, and a scent of aged wine filled the dining room in an instant.

Jiang Zhao smelled it as soon as he walked into the dining hall, and gave a sigh of admiration.

"Really good wine."

"That's right, I got it at a high price. Most people can't get such a good wine."

Cheng Wudi said proudly.

He put two glasses of wine in the cup, one for himself, and one in front of Jiang Zhao.

Then he opened the paper-wrapped things that Jiang Zhao saw just now, and there were some cooked food inside.

Cheng Wudi greeted Jiang Zhao to sit down, as if this was Cheng Wudi's home.

Jiang Zhao sat down opposite him, smelling the aroma of the wine in the glass.

Cheng Wudi toasted Jiang Zhao: "Come on, niece Jiang, Uncle Cheng toasts you."

Jiang Zhao was a little flattered, raised his glass and said, "Uncle Cheng is joking, how can you be the one who respects the junior, it should be the junior who respects you."

She quickly raised her wine glass to touch Cheng Wudi, the wine glass was slightly lower than Cheng Wudi, showing her respect for him.

Although he has not met Cheng Wudi a few times, Jiang Zhao still has a good impression of him.

She is righteous and forthright, and treats her junior very well.

Although he bickers with him on weekdays, Jiang Zhao's respect for him is also from the bottom of his heart.

Calling him Uncle Cheng is also willing. If it were someone else, Jiang Zhao would not call him Uncle so easily.

After the two had a glass of wine, Jiang Zhao didn't bother to go around those detours, and asked straight to the point.

"Uncle Cheng, what are you doing here today?"

"I'm here today, Uncle Cheng, mainly to thank you for your kind words in front of His Majesty. Your Majesty has ordered me to go to the border to suppress it."

Cheng Wudi said the purpose of this trip.

"Did Uncle Cheng make a mistake? I didn't say anything in front of His Majesty."

When she was talking to the emperor, there was no one else in the imperial study except the two of them.

She had never told anyone about it, let alone the emperor.

Why did Cheng Wudi say that he could go to the border to suppress it? It was because he had spoken well in front of the emperor, Jiang Zhao was a little confused.

"Why are you being modest? Your Majesty has told me."

Then he told Jiang Zhao the whole story.

After the court today, His Majesty asked to keep him.

He originally thought that His Majesty left him to instruct him on matters after going to the border, but in fact everyone thought so.

The emperor has no real power in his hands, so he can only use this kind of behavior to show the poor power in his hands.

But after he and the emperor came to the imperial study room, the emperor asked, "Do you know why I sent you to the border?"

Cheng Wudi was stunned by the inexplicable question, and then he came to his senses and said hastily.

"I don't know."

"It's Jiang Zhao. She recommends you with all my strength, so I plan to send you to the border."

The emperor looked at Cheng Wudi, and slowly said Jiang Zhao.

In fact, the candidate in his mind is Cheng Wudi. Even without Jiang Zhao, he would find a way to get Cheng Wudi to go to the border.

Cheng Wudi was even more stunned when he heard this. Although he had approached Jiang Zhao, Jiang Zhao said at the time that he was a soft-spoken person and had no right to speak in front of the emperor.

But I didn't expect the emperor to tell him today that Jiang Zhao recommended him.

He thought in his heart that he would have to thank Jiang Zhao well when he went later. If it wasn't for Jiang Zhao, he wouldn't be able to go to the border to suppress the errand.

So as soon as the court came, he went straight to Jiang Zhao's residence, and brought the fine wine he had treasured for a long time.

After the emperor finished talking about Jiang Zhao, he drove Cheng Wudi out of his imperial study.

When the co-author emperor asked him to come, he was specifically telling himself that his benefactor was Jiang Zhao.

After Jiang Zhao heard what Cheng Wudi said, she digested it in her heart, and she probably understood what the emperor meant.

The emperor is now watched by those in the court, and they will never allow the emperor to start centralizing power.

So the emperor can only pin his hope on Jiang Zhao, and let Jiang Zhao gather these ministers.

When the emperor's wings are full in the future, Jiang Zhao will return these rights to the royal family.

She is now the spokesperson of the emperor.

Jiang Zhao generously accepted Cheng Wudi's thanks, raised his glass to toast Cheng Wudi and said, "Then congratulations to Uncle Cheng."

Since the emperor asked her to be the public spokesperson, then she will do her best to be the spokesperson.
