Chen Guogong suddenly brought someone to face him, and you could guess what he wanted to do with your buttocks.
The empress sat firmly on the dragon throne, showing no anger or authority, "Your Majesty, please speak directly if you have anything to say."
"I just met the Cui family in Tianshui courtyard. The Cui family agreed to host Enke and even planned to open it to poor families. However, the aristocratic family strongly opposed it. I wonder what the holy will is?"
Chen Guogong looked calm and kicked the ball to the empress. The empress asked doubtfully: "What's wrong with Mr. Cui's proposal?"
"Nowadays, the national treasury is empty, and all national policies must rely on the mediation of aristocratic families in order to be able to flex their muscles among the people. If we treat poor families with favors, I worry that they will hinder them and no longer serve the court wholeheartedly."
Chen Guogong was Chen Guogong, and he was very realistic. Zhao An thought that he would fool the empress and directly issue an order to abandon the poor family.
The imperial study fell into silence.
The empress pondered for a moment and replied: "Since I have ordered the Holy Sect to preside over this autumn ceremony, let Master Cui make the decision."
"But Your Majesty, what can you do if the aristocratic family is in trouble?"
"If they want to make trouble, let them make trouble. My decision will not change."
The empress frowned and said decisively.
Several officials looked at each other and admonished: "This is a serious matter. Many important resources of the imperial court are in the hands of aristocratic families. If they attack..."
"How can I, a majestic ninety-five-year-old man, be manipulated by aristocratic families! I don't believe they can cause any trouble!"
"In that case, I will go and convey His Majesty's will."
Chen Guogong retreated with several officials, coming and going in a hurry. The empress was a little confused for a moment. She thought that Chen Guogong was here to put pressure, but this is the result?
"Chen Guogong is here to give you a vaccination. He will make the aristocratic family cause trouble. If something happens, he will be responsible in the court because it was you who gave the order and you don't have to care about the family's dignity."
Zhao An yawned and revealed the inside story.
The empress was shocked, "Is it really that serious?"
"The imperial court has always been controlled by the noble family. How can we allow others to snore on the side of the bed? The Holy Sect's entry into the capital made a lot of noise. The noble family doesn't want to break up with the Holy Sect, but they still have confidence in dealing with you, and they have never had the opportunity to attack. Now you take the initiative Hand out the knife, and they will stab you hard in the back. Besides, this is what Chen Guogong wants to see. If you don't handle it well and cause public resentment to boil, then there will be unanimous opposition to you both inside and outside the court, and the Chen family will rise to the top and secure its throne. system."
"Am I going to be finished..."
The empress's oval face showed panic. She was just looking for some useful talents and had no intention of playing tricks on herself. Moreover, if she had known that the problem was so serious, she would not have lived in poverty.
Zhao An couldn't laugh or cry, she was a little too naive.
Do you really think that everything will be fine if you just stay in bed?
The Chen family has become popular, and there is only one chance left. She can't stop the general trend of the world even if she stays in the imperial study room every day. She might as well take the initiative to hand over the knife and see which aristocratic family dances the most happily, and just kill them.
"Are you sure you can beat the noble family?"
The empress rushed forward, her eyes filled with suspicion.
Zhao An casually grabbed a piece of rice paper on the table and said, "Let's start with the Liu family."
The Liu family is an affiliated family of the Chen family. It mainly helps the Chen family manage the paper business. Zhao An is sure that it will be the first to jump out.
Unsurprisingly, it was only an hour.
News came from outside the palace that the price of paper in the capital soared, and there were riots among the literati.
When the empress saw the memorial, she smashed the tea cup. Her flat chest rose and fell violently, and she said angrily: "Ms. Liu, you went too far to bully me!"
Zhao An happened to come back with a long box under his arm and joked: "You must have reached menopause, are you so irritable?"
"I don't have time to joke with you. Do you know that paper is the foundation of the country! Originally, Chen Guogong used paper to control the students in the world and gained countless disciples. The Liu family is trying to force me to death! They are all traitors!"
The empress seemed really panicked and gradually lost control.
Zhao An pulled her back to the dragon chair with a smile, and then opened the long box, only to see a roll of snow-white paper placed inside.
"What kind of paper is this?"
"The gift I gave you is also a reminder for the Liu family. Do you like it?"
"You did this!"
The empress finally understood what gift Zhao An gave Cui Wengong, and finally understood why Zhao An said that the Holy Sect was begging to cooperate with him. It turned out that he controlled the new papermaking technology!
The empress touched the snow-white gorgeous paper with joy, her jade fingers trembled slightly, her expression was obsessed, and she asked many questions in one breath, such as the cost, the daily output, etc.
"The raw materials are very common and cost almost nothing. It is not a problem to produce 100,000 pieces per day. I will destroy the old paper in three days."
Zhao An answered all questions and had a detailed plan.
The empress was happy, but also a little worried, "This thing will shake the foundation of the Chen family. I'm worried that Chen Guogong will jump over the wall in a hurry."
"So I leave this matter to Cui Shixiang, otherwise we won't be able to fight against Chen Guogong. Then we just need to wait for the situation to ferment, and when the public criticism reaches its highest point, new paper will be produced and thrown out. It has won the hearts of countless people.”
"I completely depend on you..."
The empress put away the paper and looked over with rare tenderness in her eyes.
Zhao An walked around behind her, pressed her shoulders and kneaded them, "This time I will throw away some old papers and lead the Holy Sect into the court to help you share the pressure. How will you reward me?"
"What do you want?"
The empress was a little flustered and could hardly speak.
Zhao An leaned into her ear and breathed greedily, her body fragrance filling his heart and lungs, "Your Majesty, why don't you reward me again, this time with..."
After whispering, the empress's face instantly turned red to her neck, feeling ashamed and angry, "Dog slave, do you want to die?"
"Are you willing to kill me?"
"Hmph, if you can really do it, it wouldn't be a bad idea for me to rely on you."
The empress lowered her head and muttered, and then she felt uncomfortable being bullied by a slave, so she punched him suddenly. Zhao An couldn't dodge and was hit with a black eye, and he yelled at her for having no conscience.
"I didn't mean it."
The empress retracted her pink fist arrogantly, Zhao An deliberately pretended to be injured, cursed his lack of conscience and ran out of the palace.
The next day, Zhao An disguised himself and rushed to Tianshuiyuan with Queer.
Cui Shixiang was not there, and unexpectedly saw Xu Ruqing. She was holding a piece of paper in her hand. When she saw the person coming, she stuffed the paper into her sleeve in a panic. After doing this, she moved her lotus steps to greet him, and mouthed Mr. Zhou.
She is still wearing a thin veil, with misty hair and windy hair, she is graceful and charming, her dark eyes are smiling, smart and like she can talk.
Zhao An couldn't help but say: "The clouds are like the clothes, the flowers are like the face, the spring breeze is blowing the threshold, and the dew is thick."
"Good poem, sir, great talent, little girl admires him."
At this moment, Xu Ruqing's eyes were filled with a sense of spring and wonder.
Zhao An almost picked his feet in embarrassment. He thought she would say who knows about family members. She was reading a book at home today, but she met a guy with a belly.
