After this great drama was sung, the monarch and his subjects became more harmonious.
After all the ministers calmed down, Sheng Hong returned to the dragon chair and sat down. He continued what he had said before and asked the Minister of Industry: "Shang Shu Zhou, why is the progress of cleaning up the river and building embankments so slow?"
Zhou Shangshu’s face burned with anger when he was accused, and he apologized again: “I am incompetent! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!”
Sheng Hong's expression calmed down and he said in a deep voice: "This matter involves the safety of the people of the three counties. We must not be negligent. Zhou Shangshu immediately sent people to inspect the fortifications. If anyone does anything sneaky and unfair, he will be sent to the Ministry of Punishment and severely punished.
Don’t wait!”
Zhou Shangshu accepted the order with a shy old face.
At this point, the discussion is over.
All the ministers resigned in unison, and Sheng Hong ordered Eunuch Wei to send all the ministers out of the palace.
As soon as the ministers left, A Luo, who had been holding her breath with concentration, couldn't help but let out a long breath.
Sheng Hong smiled silently and turned to look at A Luo, who looked complicated: "A Luo, how do you feel now?"
A Luo sincerely admired: "You are still smarter when you are old! I just realized today that I am far worse than my father."
This freely retractable acting skills, this ease of controlling the ministers, and this just right touch!
It is conceivable that after today, most of the defenses in the hearts of the ministers have collapsed. With more strength, it will be just around the corner for her to enter the court and take charge of politics.
Sheng Hong laughed for a moment and then said: "These are just trivial ways. The way to be a king is to follow the right path. If they had not been resisting together, I would not use such means to force them to give in."
"Aluo, you performed very well today."
"The forbearance and concession before were to make the ministers adapt to your handling of politics. Next, you should show off your talents and make them take your existence seriously."
The temporary concession is just to ease the fierce opposition of the courtiers. Of course, you cannot continue to give in. If you want to make the courtiers sincerely submit, you must show your true ability.
A Luo's eyes burst out with a look that was more dazzling than the scorching sun: "Father, I know what to do."
I know they are all prejudiced against me!
I know that if I want to convince them, I have to be more outstanding than my cousin Ji, my cousin Lin, my cousin Ting!
I know this road is not easy!
However, I have made up my mind not to shrink back.
Looking at the confident and calm Ah Luo, Sheng Hong was filled with pride and said with a smile: "From today on, after you read the memorial, you must tell me what is said in the memorial. I want to listen to it.
Listen to your ideas."
A Luo nodded in agreement.
Sheng Hong thought happily: "After two years, you can review the memorials for me. I can also spare some time to spend more time with your mother."
A Luo: "..."
…
The ministers who left the Qing Palace felt heavy and complicated.
The ministers had to go to the cabinet to handle political affairs, and the six ministers each returned to their official offices, and they also had a lot of complicated things waiting for them.
This day seems to be no different from other days. But all the ministers know in their hearts that today is a different day. There are some things that cannot be stopped.
Since they can't stop the emperor, they can no longer resist and exclude them blindly, and they should change their attitude slightly to adapt to Princess Aluo's listening and discussing the government.
In the evening, Chen Shangshu returned to Chen Mansion with a gloomy look.
Coincidentally, as soon as Chen Shangshu returned home, Chen Zhan came back.
It was rare for the father and son to be together in the mansion, so Mrs. Chen arranged to have dinner together, which was a good opportunity to ease the stiff, distant and indifferent relationship between father and son.
Chen Shangshu kept a calm face and said nothing.
This is tacit consent.
Mrs. Chen breathed a sigh of relief and had to say a few more words: "You are too angry. You forced A Zhan to live outside the house for half a year before he came back. It would be better for you to beat him again and let him
I couldn’t see anyone for half a month.”
"A Zhan is also over thirty years old. He is a fourth-grade censor and a serious court official. Even if you don't care about your son's face, you must also take care of the emperor's dignity. You can't do anything to A Zhan again in the future..."
Mrs. Chen's unintentional words accidentally hit Chen Shangshu's pain point.
Chen Shangshu's face twitched suspiciously, and it took him a while to squeeze out a few words: "I understand."
Mrs. Chen: "..."
This old ghost usually doesn't listen to anything you say, so why is he so talkative today?
Mrs. Chen was startled and looked Chen Shangshu up and down. Chen Shangshu felt uncomfortable and snorted with a tigerish face: "Why are you looking at me like this? I have three heads and six arms?"
Now that they are an old married couple, there is nothing Mrs. Chen dares to say. She curls her lips and says, "It's not like she has three heads and six arms. It's just that her face looks like a different one."
Chen Shangshu: "..."
Seeing that Chen Shangshu was about to become angry and angry, Mrs. Chen immediately took the first step under the pretext of going to the dining room.
Chen Shangshu's breath got stuck in his throat and he snorted heavily.
…
Chen Zhan led his wife and children to the dining room. Along the way, he was muttering in his heart and his eyes were somewhat wandering.
Qin Sihun looked amused and asked quietly: "What's wrong? Are you feeling timid?"
Isn't it?
Chen Zhan didn't want to lose face and refused to admit it, and said in a low voice: "It has been more than two months since I returned home. Except for the beating at the beginning, my father has never looked at me during these days. Today, I suddenly have to talk to him.
If I have dinner together, can I not feel nervous?"
Don't look for opportunities to beat him again!
Qin Sihun thought for a moment and said softly: "Maybe my father-in-law has figured it out, or maybe he wants to take the opportunity to repair the relationship between father and son. If I really want to teach you a lesson, with my father-in-law's temper, there is no need to beat around the bush."
This is true.
Chen Shangshu's style has always been to produce a filial son under the stick. He can be beaten whenever he wants, without any need for foreshadowing.
Chen Zhan nodded slightly, then turned around and ordered his three sons: "If your grandfather loses his temper later, you three will rush over immediately and stop your grandfather. He will never be willing to attack you."
The loud voices of the three sons should be.
Qin Sihun: "..."
Chen Zhan entered the dining room nervously, saluted first, and then sat down below his father.
Chen Shangshu had a straight face and still didn't look at him. Fortunately, he didn't lose his temper.
Mrs. Chen led her daughters-in-law to sit at another table, turning her head to look around from time to time.
The three Chen Xiaobaoer brothers are truly considerate and good sons. They would either pick up food for their grandfather, smile flatteringly at them, or tell them a joke.
Chen Shangshu could not keep a straight face in front of his son, but he could not keep a straight face in front of his three naughty and lively grandsons. A smile soon appeared on his face.
Chen Zhan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought happily, his sons are usually naughty and cause headaches, but they still have some use in critical moments.
After dinner, Chen Zhan took the initiative to wait for his father to go to the study to talk.
Chen Shangshu was silent for a long time, saying nothing and only letting out a long sigh.
