From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 678

Zhou Yuan did approve of the decisions made by the elder sister over the years. The threshold to becoming a wise ruler is not high. With the help of capable ministers, it is even very low. For example, Adou knows to listen to his father in everything. If the Han Dynasty is really restored, Adou will definitely be praised as a wise ruler.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Yuan is willing to talk to the elder sister. With her handling government affairs, Zhou Yuan will be a hundred times more relaxed.

Under the candlelight, Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I do agree with all this, so I don't want us to have a bloody storm. I hope we can have a good talk and reach a tacit understanding. No one should mess around."

Empress Zhao Jing pursed her lips and said, "How to talk?"

Zhou Yuan said, "It's still the same sentence. I'm not interested in the throne. The military arrangements I made are essentially for Dajin."

"Others criticize me for only using my own people, but you should know, senior sister, are these people I brought out the most suitable? They are capable, have merits, can lead troops, can fight, have sufficient experience, and are countless times better than those old nobles!"

"Has Dajin produced any famous generals in the past 20 years? Not at all, because it has been losing all the time!"

"Those who followed the Duke of Zhenguo to make meritorious deeds have long been extravagant. The life of the people in the border town has become corrupt. Apart from the generals who are still in the border town, only Wang Xiong and his men are of great use. "

Speaking of this, Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and said, "I will go to the southwest soon. The problems there are very thorny. They involve ethnic integration and the future regional governance. We must start from the smallest details, step by step, and unravel the problems before we can solve them thoroughly. "

"When I leave, doesn't the north need Wang Xiong, Liu Fang and others to watch over it?"

Empress Zhao Jing felt a little guilty and a little self-blaming. She quickly filled his tea and said, "I understand. Don't say anything."

Zhou Yuan said, "On the surface, I have been arranging my own people. In fact, I have been winning battles alone over the years, so I can only arrange my own people!"

"Oh, I know!"

Empress Zhao Jing whispered, "This matter It's settled, I won't stop them from taking office."

Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "Before I set out for the Central Plains, I came to you late at night and told you that Dajin is vast, but it has fallen far behind the world. The Portuguese ships are parked in Haojing, and their cannons are extremely powerful."

"In the past year or so, you have also seen that the Portuguese cannons and the mother-and-child flintlock guns have been showing their influence all the time."

"McPherson brought six large ships to suppress my 270,000 troops. If I had fought hard at that time, Huang Taiji would have died, but we couldn't afford the loss."

"The world trend is mighty and powerful. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. I have told you this truth a long time ago."

"To revive Dajin, we must first quell the civil strife, then complete the promotion of the new law, and grain. Food, taxation, business, and comprehensive innovation. "" Only with money can we engage in weapons and make the sea. In the wind and waves, I caught the authority of the next era. What she really wants to do, she seems to see that her eyes have always been in Shenjing, or in Dajin. Zhou Yuan said: "The world is undergoing a dramatic change, and we are fighting for the imperial power here late at night. Isn't it ridiculous?"

"I will go out to make a living, and you will help me take care of the house. You will still be the emperor, and I will still be a favorite minister. When the Jin Dynasty is revived, you will be a wise ruler comparable to the Qin Emperor and Han Emperor. What's wrong with this?"

Empress Zhao Jing swallowed her saliva. This sentence touched her heart.

She nodded quickly and said: "Of course it's good! Of course it's good! This is what I want to do!"

"But you have to force me... things turned out like this."

Zhou Yuan glared and said: "That's because I don't want to see Wen Tieli happen again. I don't want to pay the price for the stupidity of my own people. I don't want to be worried outside."

"To do big things, you are always facing difficulties.My rear is not stable, what should I do? How should I do it? "

Empress Zhaojing, like a little woman, held Zhou Yuan's hand and said, "Don't say anything, Senior Sister understands you, you can do it boldly, I promise to do a good job in government affairs."

"Junior brother, the misunderstanding has been resolved, we are still the same as before, we are the most suitable monarch and minister."

"Before, Senior Sister misunderstood you too much, alas, you know, the so-called way of the emperor, the most important thing is checks and balances, that is, to make your position more stable."

"Senior Sister is also a jumpy person, but she just couldn't see the shackles clearly for a while."

Zhou Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "I'm afraid that you will get sick again one day, and think that I want to seize power and rebel, and then follow you to make stupid moves for no reason."

"If it weren't for your suspicion during that time, how could Wen Tieli have the ability to make such a big mess, and why would I go all the way to Mobei? ”

Empress Zhaojing said hurriedly: "Don't mention this anymore, it's okay if I'm wrong."

"As long as you...you continue to let me be the emperor, I am willing to trust you, let you let go and do great things with peace of mind."

At the end, she couldn't help laughing, hugged Zhou Yuan's shoulders, and said: "Anyway, the credit will still be mine when the time comes, how can I not support you."

Zhou Yuan stood up and said unhappily: "Anyway, even if you make trouble now, it's no threat to me. Just be your emperor and leave."

He strode out.

Empress Zhaojing hurriedly grabbed him and said anxiously: "Why are you leaving? I haven't slept well these days. Stay with me..."

Zhou Yuan said: "I'm in a bad mood, I won't stay with you."

"Please..."

Empress Zhaojing blinked and said: "I really know I was wrong. Please pity me. I want to hold you to sleep..."

Zhou Yuan sneered: "Heh! Female beauty? I don't buy into this anymore."

Empress Zhao Jing said, "I don't sleep with clothes on."

"That's fine."

Zhou Yuan rubbed his hands and said, "It's late, go to bed."
