The seventh year of Chongwu.
Su Jingyao has already firmly grasped the harem in her own hands. Not only does she hold power, but she also has Jun Zechen's unreserved love.
Su Jingyao's doubts about Jun Zechen were like a fog that never diminished.
In her opinion, she should have been treading on thin ice to please the emperor, but now it seemed like the situation was completely reversed.
In the past few years, she has been cautiously testing Jun Zechen's bottom line step by step, but found that Jun Zechen seemed to have no bottom line towards her.
......
After Su Jingyao summoned several female officials to discuss palace affairs in Kunning Palace today, she walked towards Qianqing Palace.
In the imperial study.
As soon as Su Jingyao came in, she waved her hand casually and calmly.
Seeing this, the serving palace maids immediately understood what he meant and retreated respectfully.
She walked straight up to Jun Zechen and saw that he was frowning with a focused and serious look, as if he had encountered an extremely difficult problem.
She rarely saw him like this. In the past, he was always confident and calm, as if all problems could be solved easily.
"Your Majesty, have you encountered something that cannot be solved?"
Su Jingyao tilted her head slightly and asked softly, concern in her eyes.
Jun Zechen put down the memorial in his hand, a gentle smile instantly appeared on his face, and he stretched out his hands and hugged the person on his lap.
"It's not a problem, it just takes some time."
"I believe in Your Majesty. Your Majesty can do anything."
Su Jingyao said in a soft voice, with the corners of her mouth raised.
"Flatterer." Jun Zechen chuckled and scratched her nose.
Su Jingyao smiled, raised her eyebrows, and looked smart. As long as he liked to hear it, that was fine.
Jun Zechen picked up the memorial that had just been placed on the table and opened it. "Jiaojiao, take a look?"
Su Jingyao was shocked and turned to look at Jun Zechen with some disbelief in her eyes.
Is he serious? Let her read the memorial?
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the harem cannot interfere in government affairs?"
"It's just the two of us here, so it's okay."
Jun Zechen looked relaxed and didn't seem to care.
Su Jingyao's courage has indeed grown thanks to Jun Zechen in the past two years.
She used to think that Jun Zechen's kindness to her was unreal, and that he was probably flattering her or trying to use the Su family for something.
But later on, thinking carefully, Jun Zechen was in power, so there was really no need for that.
I could only suppress the doubts in my heart, and my courage grew day by day.
If Jun Zechen had really been lying to her, Su Jingyao would also feel that she had made a profit. How valuable was she that an emperor of a country could accommodate her without any bottom line?
Su Jingyao leaned on Jun Zechen, no longer hesitating, her eyes falling on the memorial.
After seeing the content clearly, her expression instantly became serious and her brows unconsciously frowned.
"There's a drought in the Northwest? And it's so severe!"
"Yes, what do you think, Jiaojiao?"
When such a natural disaster occurs, we naturally have to find ways to provide disaster relief. It is easy to say that when one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid, but it is not that simple.
In modern times, disaster relief is full of twists and turns, and there are people who profit from national disasters, not to mention in ancient times.
"Of course we need disaster relief, but the northwest is so remote that it might be difficult."
Jun Zechen put down the memorial, reached out and picked up a scroll next to it, and Su Jingyao helped him open the scroll.
"This is the latest map of the empire drawn by the Military Affairs Department. The empire's territory is vast, and each place has its own unique customs and practices. Even though we have a lot of historical experience in disaster relief, it's not easy to implement in reality."
Jun Zechen moved his finger on the map with a serious expression.
"The northwest is a barren land with low grain production and natural disasters. It is also far away from Kyoto. I will have to wait ten days or half a month to know the situation there."
"Even if the surrounding cities that can provide disaster relief have surplus food, they are unwilling to do things that are not beneficial. The emperor is far away. Even if I issue an order to provide disaster relief, if they pretend to obey but secretly disobey, it will be difficult for me to control them."
"So, Your Majesty needs to send a trusted official to the disaster area to personally oversee it? Your Majesty is worried about who can take on this important task?"
Su Jingyao looked focused and analyzed carefully.
"Jiaojiao is smart." Jun Zechen's mouth corners slightly raised, his eyes full of admiration.
In the previous life, I sent people from the Ye family, so I have to rethink the selection in this life.
“.......”
Afterwards, Jun Zechen narrowed his eyes slightly, with a focused look, and began to analyze the situation in the court in detail to Su Jingyao.
He tapped his finger on the map, gave an in-depth analysis of the current topography and culture of the dynasty, and explained in detail how he implemented policies based on local conditions.
Su Jingyao listened quietly and very seriously.
She had never actually thought about getting involved in court affairs in the feudal dynasty before, because Su Jingyao knew that her abilities were limited. She never thought that she could compare with those princes who had received imperial education since childhood. Even Xingxing, who was only seven years old now, might have a clearer understanding of the court than her.
As the daughter of the Su family, Su Jingyao naturally has many opportunities to study. However, her father still deliberately avoids talking about state affairs in front of her and her mother, so the court situation can only be learned from occasional letters from her father and brother.
She also has a very clear understanding of herself. If she forces herself into a field that she is not familiar with, Su Jingyao does not have enough confidence to ensure her success.
But now... is Jun Zechen teaching her?
She is a very ambitious person. If the opportunity is so obvious in front of her, she will not refuse it.
So at this moment, Su Jingyao listened very carefully.
The ninth year of Chongwu.
Jun Zechen's imperial study now has a new owner without anyone noticing.
