"Yue'er, thank you so much." Zhao Changyuan stood up, stepped forward, hugged her head tightly from behind, and put her into his chest.
Gong Yueyue leaned in his arms, her tone was relaxed but cold, "He has made provocations time and time again. Shouldn't he show some courage like a big country? Otherwise, he really thinks that our Luo Tianguo is very powerful."
You look so easy to bully."
"Okay! This time I will go on an expedition in person. I will return to the Northland again and personally take his head." Zhao Changyuan made the decision with great certainty.
"..." Gong Yueyue did not expect that he would make this decision. As the emperor, he would go on an expedition in person. What would happen to the layout of the capital?
Now that he, the emperor, is gone, who will be in charge of handling the world's major affairs, and who will be responsible for the important affairs of the country?
Zhao Changyuan didn't get a response from her, so he let go of her, looked at her face, and smiled: "Let the ministers be responsible for the small things in the capital. If there are any... big things, you can let me make the decision."
"Me?" Gong Yueyue smiled and shook her head. She was very grateful to Zhao Changyuan for trusting her.
However, if a woman is in charge, she will definitely be criticized. Moreover, she does not have much prestige in the eyes of others, so how can she make others obey?
"Yes, it's you. I believe in your abilities, and I also believe in your methods." Zhao Changyuan stared at her with determination.
Gong Yueyue stood up and shook her head: "This matter is of great importance. You can't be petty. I am a woman. My reputation is not good. I was once... a witch. When you were by my side,
Years have passed and many ministers have disliked me. Now if you ask me to preside over the government again, what will the ministers think and what will the people in the world think?"
"I have thought about these things, but as long as I trust you, no one can do anything to you." Zhao Changyuan affirmed again.
"I know you trust me, but others don't trust me. You are the emperor, and when you are around me, others will be more or less concerned about your face. But if you are no longer by my side, how can others care?
My thoughts. When the time comes, you will definitely think that I am a witch, deliberately seducing you, and then seizing the Zhao family's kingdom into your own hands, how can you ask me to quibble?" Gong Yueyue couldn't help but said.
Deep down in her heart, she already felt that she was unworthy of him. Her identity, her reputation, and everything she had experienced were unfair to him.
It's just that all these emotions were hidden deep in his heart, and he didn't notice the strangeness in his heart. How could she not be excited now that she was entrusted with such an important task?
Zhao Changyuan looked into her eyes and said softly: "Gong Yueyue, your ability is not just that, you are very smart and know how to solve problems when you encounter them. It's just a small bad message, others don't care.
, I don’t care at all, don’t worry about the past anymore.”
Gong Yueyue took a deep breath to calm down and stop thinking. He was right, many things had passed.
The problem at hand was the biggest problem. She had to help Zhao Changyuan solve the matter instead of dragging him back behind his back.
"You can send others, such as Mr. Zhao and Xiao Jinhui. The former is a soldier and the latter is someone you trained. Why not use them and go by yourself?" Gong Yueyue didn't understand. There are obviously ready-made people.
It works, why do you have to do it yourself?
Zhao Changyuan's face gradually calmed down, his eyes were cold and dark, and he said softly: "I have always upheld the idea of appeasing the Zhao family, so I have always asked Xiao Jinhui to convey messages to them. I hope they can stay calm and not make too many moves.
But that doesn’t seem to be the case in reality.”
Gong Yueyue frowned and asked in disbelief: "Are they still planning to rebel? Or do they have other ideas?"
"That's not the case, he just wants to blackmail me with his past achievements." Zhao Changyuan did not explain the matter, and he didn't want her to know too much for the time being.
His spies had been lurking in the Zhao family very early, just to get information early and understand the thoughts of those extraordinary people.
I thought that Zhao Zheyuan could successfully marry Zhao Yuanli to Xiao Jinhui, which would have been a happy event for everyone. However, her daughter was not sensible, and neither was he.
Gong Yueyue didn't expect that there were so many things in it, and asked again: "What about Xiao Jinhui? He is someone you can trust, right? Why don't you call him?"
Zhao Changyuan smiled and shook his head, and said to her: "Now I am sending Xiao Jinhui to form a naval force in the east. It is just in its infancy, how can we stop it?"
Navy army? This is the first time I have heard of such a military branch. I was puzzled and asked: "Why did you set up that navy army? Is it useful?"
Zhao Changyuan put his hands behind his back and said softly with a smile on his face: "I suspect that there are continents like ours in other places in the sea. So I want to have a look. Only by forming a navy and building a dock can we go there smoothly.
In fact, this was also my father's wish back then, but it was shelved many years ago and has never been implemented."
Now that he is the emperor, he has nothing to do and the treasury is full, so there is nothing wrong with fulfilling the wishes of his ancestors.
Moreover, the Zhao family had already begun recruiting workers to design ships a long time ago. He already had someone to point him in the direction, so he could act more quickly.
Gong Yueyue felt a state of excitement in her heart when she listened to his grand plans and great achievements. If the mainland could really be discovered, could people still be discovered?
No one thought that he would think so much and make such big moves. No wonder he had to take action himself in the end.
Zhao Changyuan looked at her face and said with a chuckle: "Of course, there is another very important reason why I personally went to the north."
"What's the reason?" Gong Yueyue asked in confusion. Is there any problem that she didn't see? What is it?
"Nowadays, part of the military power is still in the hands of Lord Zhao. Since he dares to have second thoughts or unnecessary thoughts, what should I do with him?"
An evil smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Changyuan's mouth. Looking at his expression, Gong Yueyue remembered that he himself was not a simple person.
Nowadays, military power is mainly in the hands of Zhao Zilong, Xiao Jinhui and Zhao Zheyuan, who were the ones who laid down the siege in the first place.
But this does not mean that he can gain the trust of Zhao Changyuan, especially Zhao Zheyuan himself. Every move he makes is for his own benefit.
If he hadn't known that Zhao Changyuan could ascend the throne and get more benefits, he would never have taken refuge in Zhao Changyuan, but would have found someone else.
This was also the real reason why Zhao Changyuan never wanted to see him.
Gong Yueyue waved her hand angrily: "You can handle these matters yourself. If you really want to go to the Northern Expedition, I have no problem. I will wait for your triumphant return in the capital with Yuer."
Zhao Changyuan suddenly froze on the spot, with a warm current flowing through his body, as if his heart was melting into this warm current. (To be continued)
