Chapter 705

Zhao Yuanjing smiled and said: "If the emperor's mother came forward, I don't think there will be any accidents in this matter. It's just that the emperor's grandmother has to work hard."

The Empress Dowager raised her chin slightly, and said slowly: "It's not impossible for the Ai family to come forward. But..."

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

"Grandmother, you still have to negotiate with me..."

"One yard belongs to one yard." The Empress Dowager smiled, "Aijia is a harem woman, and she shouldn't interfere in the government. This is also the ancestor's precept. Now you want Aijia to come forward and ask Aijia to raise some conditions, which is not too much .”

Zhao Yuanjing smiled and said: "Well, what conditions does the emperor's grandmother have, let's hear it."

Zhao Shu also looked at her, wondering what conditions she would raise.

The Empress Dowager said: "Once the vassal kings agree to withdraw the vassal, you will agree to make Jin Yao the queen, right?"

"That's right." Zhao Yuanjing said.

Withdrawing the feudal domain is a matter of great importance to the survival of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The reason why King Cheng of the late emperor rebelled so easily was because the emperor had too little power and too few troops.

All were scattered in the hands of the vassal kings and the officials of the frontier.

The first major thing Zhao Yuanjing had to do after he ascended the throne was to withdraw the domain and take all the troops back to the court. This was his decision after discussing with Zhao Shu.

The Empress Dowager nodded: "The Ai family has always known that Yuan Jing, you will be a good emperor, and you are a hundred times stronger than your father. But..."

She changed the subject, "A real good emperor not only suppresses the former dynasty, but also balances the harem. Do you understand what Aijia means?"

Zhao Yuanjing raised her eyebrows and said, "My harem is very stable and peaceful. Regarding this point, the imperial grandmother is too worried."

"Worried too much?" The Empress Dowager couldn't help laughing, "Yuan Jing, the Ai family watched you grow up. Since you were the prince, you have only favored Yun girl. Now that you are the emperor, you still only care about her." Is it reasonable to pet her?"

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

"Why, are you so weak that you can't be favored?" The Empress Dowager also became displeased, "Yuan Jing, you are a man, an emperor, and the king of a country! It is your responsibility to continue the royal family's heirs. You marry Once you become a crown princess, you should let her give birth to a son and daughter for you. You should understand this simple truth better than the Ai family, and you need an old lady from the Ai family to be kind?"

Zhao Yuanjing felt impatient.

"Yuan Jing, the Ai family knows that you like that girl Yun Dai, and the Ai family also knows that she is good. But if you are fortunate enough to have other concubines, it does not prevent you from continuing to love her." The Empress Dowager frowned, "If you do this, 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 only favor one person, or do you want the world to call Yun Dai a scourge?" The Empress Dowager was already a little angry, "Or is that girl Yun Dai not allowing you to pet other women? If she is really like that The Ai family can't tolerate an ignorant temper."

"Grandmother, this matter has nothing to do with Yun Dai." Zhao Yuanjing said hastily.

"In that case, you flipped Jin Yao's brand tonight. It's absurd to marry a princess and yet not be favored for so long!" The Empress Dowager said coldly, "The Ai family will only pass on Princess Rong after seeing tomorrow's respect record." Enter the palace."

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

"You..." The Empress Dowager gasped in anger, "Are you really going to piss Aijia to death?"
