Chapter 709: Flip the brand

Zhao Yuanjing smiled and said: "If the emperor's mother had come forward, I think there would be no accidents in this matter. It's just that the emperor's grandmother will have to work hard."

The empress dowager lifted her chin slightly, and slowly said, "It's not impossible for the Ai family to come forward. But..."

She glanced at Zhao Yuanjing, "The emperor has to promise Ai's family one thing."

"Grandma, you still have to talk to me about conditions..."

"One yard is one yard." The Empress Dowager constricted a smile, "The Ai's family is a harem woman, who shouldn't interfere in government affairs. This is also an ancestral precept. Now you want the Ai's family to come forward, and the Ai's family provides some conditions. It is not too much. ."

Zhao Yuanjing smiled and said, "Well, what conditions does the emperor grandmother have, let's just listen."

Zhao Shu also looked at her, not knowing what conditions she would make.

The Queen Mother said: "Once the princes agree to withdraw from the vassal, you will agree to make Jin Yao the queen, right?"

"Yes." Zhao Yuanjing said.

Withdrawing the domain is a matter of great importance to the survival of Da Zhou. Why the King Cheng, who was the first emperor, could easily rebel because the emperor had too little power and too little force.

All were scattered in the hands of the feudal kings and the chief officials of the territorial border.

The first important thing that Zhao Yuanjing must do after ascending to the throne is to withdraw the vassal and bring all the troops back to the court. This is the decision he made after discussing with Zhao Shu.

The empress dowager nodded: "The Aijia has always known that Yuan Jing, you will be a good emperor, you are a hundred times stronger than your father. But..."

She changed the conversation, "A true good emperor must not only suppress the previous dynasty, but also balance the harem. Do you understand the meaning of Aijia?"

Zhao Yuanjing raised his eyebrows and said, "My harem is very stable and peaceful. Regarding this, the emperor's grandmother has worried too much."

"Worry too much?" Empress Dowager couldn't help but smile, "Yuan Jing, the Lamentation family watched you grow up. Since you became the prince, you have only petted Yun girl alone. Now you are the emperor, or just Is it fair to spoil her?"

Zhao Yuanjing frowned: "Grandma, you should know that Jin Yao is weak."

"Why, I'm so weak that I can't bear favor?" The Queen Mother also began to feel unhappy, "Yuan Jing, you are a man, an emperor, and a king of a country! It is your responsibility to continue the heirs of the royal family. You marry. If you are a prince, you should let her give birth to you. This simple truth, you should understand better than the Aijia, and you still need an old lady from the Aijia to be polite?"

Zhao Yuanjing was impatient.

"Yuan Jing, the Ai family knows that you like Yun Dai's girl, and the Ai family knows that she is good. But if you are lucky with other concubines, it will not prevent you from continuing to pet her." The empress dowager frowned, "You do, let What is the face of the Jin family?"

Zhao Yuanjing said: "The Jin family will understand me."

"What do you understand? I understand that you are only petting one person, or do you want the world to scold Yundai as a beautiful woman?" The empress dowager was already faintly angry, "Or, it is Yundai that girl forbid you to pet other women? If she really is like this The ignorant temperament can't be tolerated by Ai Jia."

"Grandma, this matter has nothing to do with Yun Dai." Zhao Yuanjing said hurriedly.

"In that case, you have turned over Jin Yao's sign tonight. Marrying the princess but not being pampered is really absurd!" the empress dowager said coldly, "the Aijia sees tomorrow's records of honors and honors the princess. Enter the palace."

Zhao Yuanjing stood up and said: "Grandma, this matter... I forgive my grandson for not agreeing."

"You..." The Empress Dowager panted out of anger, "Are you really going to die of grief?"
