Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

Anyway~

You have plenty of people you can use. There is no need to use the prince to death!

He is not as strong as his father. If he continues like this, he might die before his father.

Zhao Zhi thought.

Zhao Yuan was stunned.

How could a prince push away the government affairs that he was about to get?

Besides, if the coal business is done well, it will be a great opportunity to improve our reputation.

You do not want?

Are you dissatisfied with your younger brothers for being too obedient and want them to jump up and compete with you for the position of crown prince?

Zhao Yuan looked at him deeply, "Are you sure?"

"My son, I'm sure."

"it is good."

Zhao Yuan didn't care whether Zhao Zhibao could keep his position as crown prince in the end.

He just wanted a capable heir. "In that case, then call the Third Prince... No, call the Second and Fourth Princes over to me."

third child?

Just stay at home and copy the Four Books!

The Empress Dowager was going to a brothel, and he followed her without even trying to stop her. She can forget about leaving the house for the time being!

then……

The second prince, who was drinking tea, listening to music, growing flowers and playing with concubines at home, and the fourth prince, who was so scared by the busy government affairs and the crazy involution of ministers just after attending court that he decided to become a lazy person, were suddenly stunned by the news of mining.

I also learned that it was Zhao Zhi who proposed...

The two of them instantly looked at Zhao Zhi with resentful eyes.

Big brother/Prince, you can't be so deceiving!

You are the crown prince, so just do it if your father needs you to do something. Why make them suffer?

Do you know that in such a cold day, leaving the warm bed could cost them their lives!!!

Zhao Zhi silently lowered his head to look at the memorial that Zhao Yuan had just thrown to him.

As long as I don't look at it, I won't feel guilty.

Don’t blame me, it’s really because father is a bad man. He wants to blame me for everything. I really can’t do it anymore!

For the minerals provided by Shu Jiao, the court became busy again before the end of the year.

After finishing one thing, another comes.

As for the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince, although they are a bit lazy and like to play a little, they are still students who were able to successfully graduate from Dayan's top royal academy, and they have a lot in their heads.

Designated locations, recruitment, mining, transportation, sales...

The two of them still understand these basic processes.

In addition, Zhao Yuan was watching from the side, so the two of them could only use all their strength to make this matter perfect.

Zhao Yuan looked at it and touched his chin.

It seemed that his sons were not as useless as he had imagined.

Isn't this possible?

Very good, the leadership’s labor force is +2, and there is no need to pay salaries!

They were busy like this until the New Year, when Zhao Yuan stopped writing and all officials took a vacation.

On the first day of the New Year, a banquet was held in the palace.

Zhao Yuan invited civil and military officials, and also brought several high-ranking concubines, and the Music Bureau was responsible for producing programs to create the atmosphere.

It really looks lively.

Shu Jiao sat on a high seat, drinking wine slowly, and occasionally glancing at the court officials and princes below.

How to say~

Tsk~

They all look very tired!

Then she sat quietly and watched Zhao Yuan's performance.

Zhao Yuan brought a bowl of good water.

The Duke has performed excellently this year, so I'm sending him a glass of wine as encouragement.

Dear Shangshu, you are my confidant and the apple of my eye. Not only should I send you wine, but you should also receive a reward of silver.

The Minister of the Central Secretariat sitting next to you, don't complain about being tired. I am giving you this burden because I think highly of you. When your boss leaves, that position will be yours. Come and have a plate of meat, but don't treat yourself badly.

All the civil and military officials in the court were his darlings.

Especially when he saw the expressions of the court officials below, who were all thankful to have met a wise ruler.

Shu Jiao: ...

She pursed her lips to prevent herself from laughing out loud.

"This glass of wine is for the Imperial Master."

Zhao Yuan looked at Shu Jiao with a smile on his face, "If there were no state teacher, there would be no banquet today, and there would be no me today."

If it weren't for the Empress Dowager coming back and helping him at the critical moment, he could hardly imagine what he would be like now?

Maybe... he will really become a tyrant.

"Your Majesty is a wise ruler, otherwise I would not have come."

Shu Jiao smiled and raised her glass, then responded and drank it in one gulp.

Zhao Yuan laughed heartily and "stayed in touch" with the court officials. After eating and drinking his fill, he took a group of people out to watch the fireworks.

This year's fireworks are better looking than last year's.

It is said that the group of Taoist priests who were sent to the Ministry of Industry to research explosives put this and that in the alchemy furnace, and ended up making the fireworks more beautiful.

If you put them in the sky, they can even look like falling meteors. Some of them can even emit red or blue light...

Zhao Yuan felt that they did not put their minds to the right path, and they even found a guy who was just filling in the gap and waiting to die, and dragged him out to kill him.

But this frightened the group of Taoist priests so much that they studied it all night long.

As long as you don't die, just endure it until you die.

The probability of death from a furnace explosion is far less than the probability of death from being targeted by a tyrant!

Fireworks were set off in the palace, and there was also the sound of fireworks outside the palace.

Zhao Yuan stood on the high platform, looking at the fireworks that rose and fell one after another, his eyes moving slightly.

The capital city... didn't seem to be as lively as this last year.

Shu Jiao was still holding a glass of wine in her hand. She turned her wrist and spilled the wine. "Cheers to all our ancestors."

She was standing next to Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan heard this and immediately had an idea. He asked Dexi beside him to bring three glasses of wine and said solemnly and sincerely:

"This cup is for the Imperial Grandmother and the spirits of our ancestors in heaven. It was they who went through countless hardships and dangers to create the eternal foundation of the Grand Banquet."

"This cup is for all my ministers. It is you who have helped me to defend the country from foreign aggression and maintain peace at home. I also toast to the people of the world. You have devoted yourselves to farming and sericulture, which has made this grand banquet possible."

"This cup is for the soldiers who followed me to fight and died on the battlefield. It was they who sacrificed their lives to defend our country and enabled me to achieve this great feat..."

A cup of muddy wine fell into the ground, and the thousands of emotions of the court officials turned into just one sentence -

"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"

It was such a genuine feeling, so heartfelt, as if he could do it for another eighty years!

Shu Jiao raised her eyebrows slightly.

He is worthy of being her great grandson, his brain and reaction speed are so quick!

Look, just three sentences can make the court officials work for me!

Zhao Yuan and Shu Jiao looked at each other, and a slight curve appeared at the corners of their lips.

As the bright moon gradually rose higher in the sky and the palace banquet ended, Zhao Yuan did not go to accompany his concubines, but chose to send Shu Jiao back to Xiuning Palace, and only brought Dexi with him.

"I heard that the Imperial Master's Mansion has been repaired?"

Shu Jiao asked.

"It's been repaired, but...won't you stay in the palace for a while longer, Grandmother?"

Zhao Yuan was a little reluctant, "If you leave, it will be more troublesome for me to find you."

It’s not good for him to leave the palace often!

Even though the former Prince Yu's Palace, now the Imperial Master's Palace, is just outside the Imperial Palace and quite close, he cannot go out often.

Shu Jiao glared at him lightly, "Don't bother me. Haven't I worried about you enough? I've been tired for decades. Now, I just want to take a break."

"You can rest in the palace. And don't you like those princes and princesses very much? You often tease them. Are you really willing to leave?"

Shu Jiao shook her head slightly.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuan sighed lightly.

My children are so useless that they can’t even leave anyone behind!
