Zhao Yuanmu sent her away, his expression a little gloomy.

Yun Dai walked up to him and whispered, "I didn't expect the Empress Dowager to protect King Yi." ”

Zhao Yuan exhaled lightly and said with a smile: "Dai'er, do you remember what I said to you?" ”

"Which one?"

"The royal family has no family affection to speak of, as long as it is involved in the dispute of power. It doesn't matter what father and son, brother or grandchild. Zhao Yuan said lightly, "The Empress Dowager is angry." ”

"The Empress Dowager has stood at the pinnacle of power in the Great Zhou Dynasty for half her life, she raised you single-handedly, I thought you would be the same as the first emperor, let it be controlled. Behold...... The emperor is not a docile cat, but a wolf cub. ”

Zhao Yuan smiled slightly, and he didn't feel angry that she called herself a wolf cub, but felt an inexplicable intimacy.

He took Yun Dai's hand, sat down with her, and said, "Dai'er, you have also seen what the entire Great Zhou has become of Yuhe under her control for decades. The river burst and no one repaired it, the treasury was empty, and the cool officials were rampant. The Empress Dowager was satisfied, and the clan and the opposition were satisfied. But the thousands of people in Da Zhou have ever been satisfied? ”

Yun Dai nodded: "Yes, if I hadn't heard it with my own ears, it would have been hard for me to believe that the Internal Affairs Office still owes the local money." ”

"In the past few years, the money has been in the hands of the King of Alcohol and other clans, and they have always been close to the Empress Dowager. Today, the Empress Dowager rushed over to stop me from punishing King Yi, and she didn't really want to protect King Yi. ”

"And what is she for?"

"Because I am sending Jin Lan to check the accounts of the Internal Affairs Office." Zhao Yuan said, "The arrival of the Empress Dowager shows that they are weak and they are afraid." ”

"Could it be that they are really greedy for the money of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"If they weren't greedy, I really wouldn't know where the millions of taels of silver from the Internal Affairs Office had gone every year."

"Your Majesty, why does the Empress Dowager have to be like this? She should be genuinely good to you in her heart. ”

"I know. But...... Once a person gets used to power, it is very difficult to let go. ”

"I understand."

Yun Dai knew that he was not in a good mood today.

He had just taken care of the government clearly, but the clans of King Alcohol were in trouble again, and even the imperial grandmother who raised him had been forcing him because of recent events.

At this juncture, Zhao Yuanhe didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he repeatedly angered him, and he really moved to kill.

Zhao Yuan saw her frowning slightly, so he patted the back of her hand, "It's okay, don't worry." ”

Yun Dai asked him: "Just now, if the Empress Dowager hadn't come, would you really kill King Yi?" ”

"Yes."

Zhao Yuan's gaze fell on the little golden bell in her ear.

Yun Dai tilted her head slightly, subconsciously dodging his gaze.

Zhao Yuan raised his hand and held her cheek, causing her to turn her face and show her ears.

He approached her face and scrutinized it.

The small bell is pure gold, very small, but very delicate, and the subtleties are extremely rounded and smooth.

"I didn't look at it in detail before, but now I look at it, it's a rare good craft." Zhao Yuan raised his hand and touched it gently.

The little bell trembled slightly.

Yun Dai closed her eyes and felt his breath spray on her ears.

He suddenly asked: "The fourth brother said that Uncle Xiaohuang's emotions will affect this set of bells, is it true or false?" ”

"This kind of thing...... He shouldn't be in lies. ”

"So, it's true."

Zhao Yuan raised his eyebrows lightly, "On the day of Uncle Xiaohuang's wedding, you fainted in pain. Does it mean that he was in a very bad mood at that time? On the day of the wedding, it shouldn't be. ”
