"Your Majesty, this must not be done!"
"Your Majesty is a man of great wealth, so you must not take any personal risks!!"
Deng Qi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, changed his face slightly and said quickly.
"What Deng Shangshu said is absolutely true, this must never be done!!"
"Your Majesty, you need to be cautious about this matter, and you must not put yourself in danger!!"
"Your Majesty must give priority to the dragon body, and it is the same thing if the royal family members take care of this matter!!"
Many cabinet bachelors also tried to persuade him, fearing that Empress Liang Zhao would agree.
From ancient times to the present, there has never been an emperor who ate locusts?
Could it be that their Great Wilderness Emperor was setting a precedent?
Empress Liang Zhao originally wanted to bite the bullet and agree, but seeing so many ministers objecting, she felt that the matter still needed to be considered.
"Master Zhou, since you are so proficient in controlling locusts, you might as well go to Qingzhou on behalf of the imperial court to help the states and counties in Qingzhou control locusts. After the locust plague is resolved, you can return to the imperial court."
Empress Liang Zhao suddenly felt that this was an opportunity, an opportunity for Zhou Zhenwen to leave the capital temporarily, an opportunity to take back the imperial power, an opportunity to practice martial arts and go further...
"Your Majesty, I can write down these information and give them to the Minister of Hubu, and ask the Hubu to send someone there."
“The cabinet is busy with affairs and I really can’t get away from it!”
Zhou Zhenwen naturally guessed Empress Liang Zhao’s intention and evaded it.
"Master Zhou, the locust plague has a lot of implications. I don't feel at ease if others go there. Only if you go there in person can I feel at ease."
"This matter does not need further discussion, it is settled!"
Empress Liang Zhao did not give Zhou Zhenwen a chance to continue to refuse, and directly made a strong decision: "Well... Archbishop Zhou just said that a prestigious person is needed to personally eat locusts and set an example for all people. I have A suitable candidate is recommended.”
"I will let her go to Qingzhou instead of me, and work with Archbishop Zhou to control the locust plague in Qingzhou."
"I obey the order."
Zhou Zhenwen bowed his hands and agreed.
In fact, he was also worried about the experimental fields in Qingzhou. It would be bad if the locust plague ate up his precious crops!
Although Xiaosi has been with him for many years, he is still worried that the response to the large-scale locust plague is not perfect enough.
You might as well go there in person!
"You all go back and rest!"
"Thank you for your hard work tonight!"
"Ji Shangshu, go back and sort out tonight's contents, and send them to all states and counties, so that local officials can start controlling locusts according to the above contents."
"Master Zhou, please stay here for a while!"
"I still have some things to tell you about Qingzhou."
Empress Liang looked at the ministers and ordered.
"I obey the decree!!"
All the ministers bowed and turned to leave.
In the imperial study room, only Zhou Zhenwen and the empress Liang Zhao were left.
"Zhou Aiqing, do you have any complaints about sending you to Qingzhou?" Empress Liang Zhao asked tentatively.
Zhou Zhenwen looked calm and responded: "I should try my best to complete the things your Majesty has ordered, so how can I complain?"
"Zhou Aiqing, you can rest assured that I will reserve the position of chief minister of the cabinet for you."
Empress Liang Zhao directly started to draw the cake: "The locust plague in Qingzhou is really imminent. I have no one to help but I can only trust you! As long as Zhou Aiqing resolves this matter, I will definitely reward you heavily!!"
"Then thank you, Your Majesty." Zhou Zhenwen didn't believe a word about Empress Liang Zhao painting cakes to satisfy her hunger.
What reward can Empress Liang Zhao give him?
It’s nothing more than some gold and silver jewelry and some beautiful cloth!
He doesn’t lack this kind of thing!
What he wants is power, what he wants is the point of being a traitor! !
This time when I go to Qingzhou, I must search extensively and find a way to get a lot of traitor points! !
"When you go to Qingzhou this time, I will arrange for you to have a royal family member. She has a very high status. With the endorsement of her and you, the great champion and the chief minister of the cabinet, she will surely be recognized by the people of Qingzhou!!"
Empress Liang Zhao raised a smile on her lips and said softly.
Just now, Empress Liang Zhao suddenly thought of a plan to kill two birds with one stone. Since Zhou Zhenwen went to Qingzhou and needed a prestigious person to help promote the locust eating, it would be better to let the eldest princess Huaizhen go.
On the one hand, with the eldest princess here, if Zhou Zhenwen wants to do something, the eldest princess can stop him and supervise him. On the other hand, he can take this opportunity to cultivate the relationship between the two.
No matter what the outcome is, with such a chance to get along, the future marriage can proceed smoothly.
It doesn’t look out of place!
Empress Liang Zhao felt that the original forced marriage was a bit too much and could easily arouse Zhou Zhenwen's resentment. Instead of doing this, it would be natural for the two to get in touch first, and maybe they would like each other.
Even if there was no mutual affection, she could still find a way to grant Zhou Zhenwen a marriage in the name of a reward and arrange for the eldest princess to marry him!
The more Empress Liang Zhao thinks about it, the more she feels that she is a genius! !
Simply wonderful! !
"Royal clan members?"
Zhou Zhenwen looked at the expression on Empress Liang Zhao's face and always felt that he had some evil intentions.
However, Zhou Zhenwen didn't care. It didn't matter to him whether he was a member of the royal family.
There is even such a royal clan member, which may be better for gaining traitor points.
There is nothing easier to gain traitor points than suppressing a royal family member!
"If nothing happens, I will leave first!" Zhou Zhenwen said with cupped hands.
"Okay." Empress Liang Zhao originally wanted to tell Zhou Zhenwen directly about the identity of the eldest princess Hua Zhen, but after thinking about it, she didn't need to rush into this matter.
Zhou Zhenwen bowed and left the imperial study.
After Zhou Zhenwen left, Empress Liang Zhao thought for a while, left the imperial study and went to the Purple Orchid Hall where the eldest princess Huaizhen was.
Zhou Zhenwen walked out of the palace and received news about the secret guards in the palace.
[Emperor Xuan went to the Purple Orchid Palace. 】
"Purple Orchid Palace?"
"The eldest princess is pregnant?"
"It turns out it's her..."
"If it's her, her status is appropriate!"
Zhou Zhenwen smiled slightly, didn't care, walked onto the carriage, leaned on the couch, and silently closed his eyes.
At the same time, the empress Liang Zhao and the eldest princess Huaizhen started talking.
"Your Majesty, you want me to replace you and follow Zhou Zhenwen to Qingzhou to control the locust plague?" After listening to the story of Empress Liang Zhao, the eldest princess Huaizhen immediately understood what the other party meant.
"Yes, I think you are very suitable, Princess." Empress Liang Zhao nodded slightly.
The eldest princess looked at the empress Liang Zhao and said softly: "Your Majesty also has the intention of letting me get along with Zhou Zhenwen, right?"
"Yes." Empress Liang Zhao had nothing to hide and said directly: "Eldest sister can also take this opportunity to observe Zhou Zhenwen. If eldest sister is unwilling, I will not force it."
"Okay, let me go then." The eldest princess Huaizhen also wanted to see what kind of person this legendary chief minister in Tsing Yi, who was famous in the wilderness, was like?
"Then please excuse me, Princess, for a trip!"
Empress Liang Zhao nodded with satisfaction. When Zhou Zhenwen and the eldest princess Huaizhen left the capital, she could make drastic reforms.
The first step is to start with the household department...
The Ministry of Personnel is an important organ for managing civil officials. It holds great power and is responsible for the system of ranking and selection, the method of conducting examinations and deposing officials, the canon of granting and awarding, and the final system of determining official status.
To put it simply, all matters such as the promotion, examination, selection, and promotion of civil officials are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Personnel.
The current Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is the one who was supported by Zhou Zhenwen and knew the symptoms of the great famine - Liu Yuanqi!
Empress Liang Zhao is ready to repeat the history deduced by the simulator, and begins to have a heart-to-heart relationship with Liu Yuanqi. She will first take control of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and then radiate from the Ministry of Personnel to various departments, gradually gaining power...
