The ministers quickly stated that they would not make the same mistake again.
Seeing that the deterrence had been achieved, it was natural to give them some benefits. After Pei Weiqi promised them that as long as they worked honestly, they would be promoted and given salary increases in the future, several ministers were completely won over by Pei Weiqi's combination of kindness and power, and completely stood on Pei Weiqi's side.
At this moment, Pei Weiqi glanced at the table, and immediately a clever minister saw the opportunity and said:
"Your Majesty, with so many memorials being submitted to you, what are those officials doing?"
"I can't make up my mind about even the smallest things."
"I suggest that I make the first report when the court goes to court this morning."
Pei Weiqi readily agreed and pretended to be happy, saying, "Okay, then I'll see how you perform. Don't let me down."
Pei Weiqi had his own plans, and it was a good opportunity for him to see how many of these surrendered ministers were truly working for him.
Not only did she know this, but these ministers also knew this. As long as they spoke for the empress in the court tomorrow.
All the civil and military officials in the court will know that they have defected to the empress.
By then, they will undoubtedly become the target of public criticism, and there will be countless memorials against them to discredit them.
But they had no choice. If they didn't choose to stand on the side of the empress today, they would not be able to leave the palace.
The empress can use this evidence to kill them directly.
Since they have surrendered to the Empress, they can only take a gamble.
I bet that the empress will have the courage to overpower the ministers and protect them.
If they choose to stand on the side of the empress and stabilize the court, they will be considered heroes and the empress will definitely not treat them unfairly in the future.
-
Plague city.
A day's plan begins in the morning.
The mornings in Plague City are bustling. With the eldest princess's vigorous efforts to develop the economy, it has become a prosperous area like the second Jiangnan.
After Gu Sang and her grandmother had a bowl of plain noodles outside, they started eating along the way. Although the breakfast in ancient times was not as varied as the modern breakfast, it was better with more ingredients and was very delicious.
The streets and alleys were bustling with people hawking goods everywhere. Grandma looked at this item and that item, but didn't buy anything.
She knew that things from ancient times could not be brought back to the modern era, so she could only see with her eyes, to record this moment, to savor it later.
"Sangsang, look at this piece of cloth. It's so beautiful. We used to buy cloth to make clothes. I think this piece of cloth is very suitable for making a cheongsam."
"Sangsang, look at this item! It's so exquisite! If it were in modern times, it would be an intangible cultural heritage."
"Sangsang, do you think it feels like walking through an antique street..."
Grandma was very happy along the way and shared everything interesting she saw with Gu Sang.
On the contrary, Gu Sang was a little absent-minded, and grandma saw it all.
At noon, the two ate spring rolls at a roadside stall.
Grandma suddenly asked, "Can we go back today?"
Gu Sang nodded: "Yes, we have to go back at 5 pm at the latest."
Grandma turned her head and looked at the street. She saw the happy smiles of the children, the bustling plague city, and the restaurant model that was of a modern scale.
Grandma said proudly:
"My granddaughter is truly amazing. Under the management of you and the eldest princess, this Plague City has already taken on the appearance of a modern city."
"I've heard for a long time that Plague City already has conscription subsidies, family subsidies, and school subsidies. The concepts of freedom and equality have also begun to be implemented in Plague City."
"You brought these changes to them."
Gu Sang smiled faintly: "This is the result of the efforts of many people, including Zhou Qichen, Fang Moushi and others. Each of them has done their best to help maintain the Plague City today."
Grandma seemed to have made up her mind. She suddenly said, "So, Sangsang, you should stay for a while."
"The Princess needs your help, and Plague City needs you too."
"The princess has just ascended the throne. The world is in chaos, and she needs someone by her side."
Gu Sang was not surprised that her grandmother had such an idea, because her grandmother was a person who cared about others, was open-minded and reasonable.
Grandma must have seen her hesitation, so she took the initiative to let her stay.
The world was at its most dangerous time at that time, and grandma prepared herself mentally for an entire night before she was willing to separate from her again.
Gu Sang smiled bitterly and shook his head, explaining: "Grandma, the system won't allow it. If we don't go back this time, we won't be able to go back in the future."
Grandma Zhengyi said, "Let me tell it, what a lousy system, it's of no help at all."
"They're still dragging their feet. When I was being held hostage, why didn't the broken system come out and impose restrictions?"
"I was sent to ancient times because of a major mistake of the system."
"I just don't believe there's no compensation."
Gu Sang looked helpless and was about to explain to his grandmother that this system was so useless.
However, the next moment.
When Gu Sang heard the system talking to her grandmother, her mouth opened wide in surprise and her jaw was about to dislocate in shock.
What did she hear?!
Grandma can actually talk to the system?
The people around seemed unable to hear the system's voice or grandma's bargaining.
In their eyes, Gu Sang and his grandmother were just distracted.
This situation would occur every time she broadcast live, and Gu Sang immediately understood.
But it was the first time that someone other than her was able to communicate with the system.
Gu Sang looked at his grandmother with a smile, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Well, arguing can also be considered as communication.
Obviously, the system can't scold grandma anymore.
In the battle with grandma, the system admitted defeat.
"bite!"
"We can stay in the ancient times for another half a month!"
