Chapter 61

~4 min read 714 words

Through the original owner's memory, he knew that Da Qian's Changancheng was the largest capital city among the seven kingdoms.

By the way, there is also that Wu Cheng, the son of Prince Rong, who should be watched.

Thinking of Wu Cheng, Gao Yang's eyes flashed with coldness.

Imperial Palace.

Imperial Study.

Achoo!

Shangguan Wan'er sneezed several times.

Wu Zhao sat on the dragon throne, dealing with memorials. Hearing Shangguan Wan'er sneezing wildly, she said, "The weather in Changancheng has been erratic these few days, so pay more attention to your health and don't catch a cold."

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head, "Your Majesty, I'm fine, maybe Censor Gao is scolding me."

"Oh?"

Wu Zhao put down the memorial in her hand and suddenly became interested.

She was full of curiosity.

"Why would Gao Yang scold you?"

Shangguan Wan'er said while grinding ink, "I sent someone to inform Gao Feng, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, that Censor Gao brought him a box of tea from Linjiang City, but he was too embarrassed, so I asked Minister Gao to take it from his room himself."

Once the words fell, a smile appeared on Wu Zhao's face.

"Gao Yang is not a good person. You pitted him like this, so be careful in the future."

Shangguan Wan'er said fearlessly, "I am not afraid of such a lecherous playboy."

After listening, Wu Zhao didn't say much.

Shangguan Wan'er saw the worry in Wu Zhao's eyes, so she couldn't help but ask, "Is Your Majesty troubled by something?"

Wu Zhao put down the memorial in her hand, and a touch of fatigue appeared on her beautiful face.

"Although I have ascended the throne for several months, this world is not peaceful."

"The vassal kings in various places have their own troops and have the heart to rebel. Moreover, I am a woman, so they are even more unconvinced. Cutting the vassal states is imperative, but this cutting of vassal states, if not handled well, will trigger internal chaos in Da Qian."

"I am still hesitating until now, but it rains when it pours. The great disaster in Guangyang Commandery, Gao Yang's method of relief through work is very good, but the requirements for officials are too high, and merchants are not fools. Linjiang City pitted them once, I'm afraid it's hard to be fooled again."

"What makes me even more furious is that Prince Rong is the head of the three regent ministers, but after arguing with me a few days ago, he used illness as an excuse not to attend court. Where is there half of me, the female emperor, in his eyes?"

"The court is unstable, so how can we talk about cutting the vassal states? Not to mention that the world is now in a great disaster, and the Turks are eyeing us covetously."

"Da Qian seems calm, but in fact, one hair moves the whole body!"

Wu Zhao said these things, even though she had lofty ambitions, she could not hide her worry.

After listening, Shangguan Wan'er was also silent.

These problems in Da Qian are indeed difficult to handle.

But she comforted: "Your Majesty, things are done by people. Let's take it slowly, everything will be solved, and Da Qian will eventually be reborn in Your Majesty's hands."

Wu Zhao nodded, her eyes filled with strong confidence.

Although Da Qian has many problems, she, Wu Zhao, has the confidence to solve them!

It's just that these problems make her upset, especially since she is a woman who has just ascended the throne, and so many things have broken out in the world.

It even sometimes makes her feel, does this world not allow a female emperor?

But just then.

Outside the Imperial Study, a soldier in armor knelt on one knee.

"Report!"

"Liu Wu, the Governor of Guanzhong Commandery, has an urgent report of eight hundred miles. Guanzhong has been in a great drought for several months, and a locust plague has broken out. Millions of commoners are affected by the locust plague. I implore Your Majesty to provide disaster relief!"

Once these words were spoken.

Wu Zhao sat up straight, her eyes filled with anger.

"What?"

"Guanzhong great drought, locust plague broke out? Millions of commoners need disaster relief?"
