Chapter 182: Crossing the Sea to Attack Japan
Seeing her fair neck blushing with shame, Xie Yunzhao would be a fool if he didn’t understand.
He wiped away his tears, looked her straight in the face, stared at her red cheeks, stroked his hand across her chest, and asked with his lips hooked: "So, did you wear the skirt on purpose that day? Did you also use it to squeeze me on purpose?"
"I didn't mean it..." Shen Shurong wanted to argue loudly, but he felt guilty as soon as he opened his mouth.
Xie Yunzhao covered his face and laughed out loud. How dare she?
He smiled for a long time before looking up, his face was filled with uncontrollable joy, but his tone of voice was extremely angry: “Chen Shurong, you seduced me?!!”
"I didn't." She retorted with pretended toughness. Oh my God, if I had known that he would find out one day, I would not have done that.
"You did, and then I went to Qiutong Court to find you, and you seduced me again, right?"
Seeing that she was exposed, Chen Shurong stopped quibbling and admitted generously, staring at the man with her beautiful eyes: "So what? Just tell me whether you were seduced or not, I saw your nose bleed."
Xie Yunzhao tilted his head and laughed non-stop, then said seriously: "I don't deny that I was attracted by you, but you were also attracted by me. You always fainted on me and took the opportunity to touch me, right?"
Chen Shurong's momentum weakened again, and his face flushed again: "If you say that again, I won't touch you."
Xie Yunzhao immediately said: "My husband lets you touch me, just touch me as you like. I know you like it, and I practice hard every day."
"Xie Yunzhao, stop talking!" Shen Shurong really covered his face, all his secrets were exposed by him.
She guessed all of them right. Xie Yunzhao was touched. Fortunately, fortunately she was smart, fortunately she still liked him and did not give up on him.
He slowly laid her down and unbuttoned her underwear bit by bit.
Just as he was about to continue, she held him back: “No.”
The man moved her hand away and kissed her forehead soothingly: "The imperial physician said that after three months, it will be fine to be gentle."
......
The next morning, at the court session, the two of them woke up late because of how they had played late the previous night.
The main reason was that Xie Yunzhao discovered that his wife loved him more than he thought, and he couldn't help asking for it.
The maids dressed the two men in dragon robes and crowns, and as they did so they sighed in their hearts that they were a perfect match and had a good relationship.
Yinzhi Suihan and the others are used to it, and they seem very proud whenever they are praised, as if the person praising them is actually doing it.
The two of them would walk up to the dragon throne hand in hand every day. All officials would be able to kneel and move without having to eat breakfast, as they would feel full just by looking at them.
Both of them are addressed as Your Majesty, and when distinguished they are addressed as Lady Shen Shurong and Emperor Xie Yunzhao.
After dealing with the matters reported by the officials, Shen Shurong began to talk about the reforms she wanted to make.
"I plan to establish girls' schools in all provinces and prefectures, so that women all over the world can have the opportunity to study and learn. What do you think, my dear ministers?"
When they come, they will know that the queen is a woman herself and will definitely fight for the interests of women all over the world.
Of course they were against it. They were forced to agree to Shen Shurong becoming the emperor, let alone letting her continue to support women.
The advantage of the old censors from the Censorate stepping out and not hitting the pillar is that they can continue to oppose.
He said leisurely: "My lady, since ancient times, men have been in charge of the outside world and women have been in charge of the inside world. Most women stay at home to take care of their husbands and children. Even in the countryside, men farm and women weave. This is a tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years."
"I think that since it has existed for so many years, it must have its reasons and should not be changed at will."
"I second the proposal. Even if we open a girls' school, the people do not have the extra money to send their daughters to school."
The person who spoke was Minister Jiang of the Ministry of Revenue. The queen was a woman after all, and women are whimsical and short-sighted. He was in the Ministry of Revenue and knew best how much the people earned each year.
Shen Shurong did not reprimand her, as she knew that every change would not be easy, especially reforms that would shake the status of men.
"I will pay for it myself, so I don't have to pay the tuition."
Minister Jiang still shook his head: "Many children in ordinary families have to help with housework. Even if they don't get paid, they are afraid of delaying their family's farm work."
"It's hard enough to support boys in school, let alone girls."
The other officials also agreed: "Yes, our Great Zhou has suffered many disasters in recent years, and the lives of the people are indeed not as good as before."
"Even though the disaster in the south has been solved, there are still disasters in the north. Although we have opened up water and sea transportation, we still need time to develop."
For a moment, the whole court was shrouded in a faint sadness.
The two emperors looked at each other. Even though they were blocked from paying the money, they really wanted to suppress them in everything.
Xie Yunzhao stood up, turned around twice in embarrassment, and then looked at the ministers with a smile as if he had come up with a good idea.
"The Great Zhou lacks financial resources, which leads to the poverty of the people. It is even difficult to send children to school. I have a good idea that can not only solve this problem, but also expand the territory. Please listen to it. Is it feasible?"
"Your Majesty, please speak."
Xie Yunzhao walked a few steps to the north and waved his hand: "I will send troops to attack Beidi."
ah? ? ?
He turned around and walked a few steps south, then waved his hand again: "Conquer Beidi and then attack Nanjiang."
Go east: "Then cross the sea and conquer Japan as well."
When he turned around, he smiled like a child: "This way, we can expand the territory of the Great Zhou. Then, the people won't have to worry about a few children's education?"
"My dear ministers, do you think this is feasible?"
Xie Yunzhao was speaking with great excitement. The air in the three directions of east, south and north was dispersed by his big hands, and the hearts of the ministers also beat wildly following his movements.
How did it come to the point of going on an expedition?
The old censor's beard was twisted with anger. Where did this tyrant come from?
Civil officials were the least interested in military affairs, but several military generals listened with great interest.
Before anyone could object, the Prime Minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, raising an army will only make the people suffer more. I think your proposal is easier to implement."
"Is that so? That's boring." Not allowed to go to the battle, Xie Yunzhao seemed to have suffered a great blow and sat back on the throne.
"Then let's do it. Let Minister Jiang of the Ministry of Revenue handle it." Chen Shurong smiled. He really liked seeing the angry but unaware expressions on their faces.
Minister Jiang: "..."
He wants to curse!
He was so angry that he looked up at Minister Xu, who shook his head slightly at him.
"Yes, I accept your order."
…
After the court session, Minister Xu and Minister Jiang caught up with the Prime Minister and said, "How can you easily agree to this? If there are other things in the future, we will be passive."
"Yes, sir, the lady has all kinds of strange ideas. The Emperor Yun indulges her, so can't you indulge her too?"
"The lady is paying the money herself, what's the point of your objection?" The prime minister really didn't want to waste words with a fool.
"You only think about suppressing the new emperor, but never thought about her real purpose and whether you can stop her!"
Without further ado, the Prime Minister left.
When the carriage was on the way home, it was asked to change its route and go to the Princess's Mansion.
He didn't believe that the eldest princess was unaware of the rebellion before the queen. Now he just wanted to ask, what kind of world does the queen want?
