After all, the Empress was forty years old. She had seen so many people and things. Now that she had experienced so many ups and downs, she was very good at judging people.
She said that GongYimo was an ambitious woman because although she was benevolent, she was able to kill an assassin at the age of ten. Although she looked harmless, she was full of schemes. She had ambition and dared to put it into practice. If she wasn't an ambitious woman, what was she?
When Gong Che heard the Empress' high praise, Gong Che was shocked, but he wasn't dissatisfied at all. He was very happy, very happy that his Empress Mother approved of him.
"Don't mention the past anymore. Imperial Sister won't mind …" When Gong Che thought of GongYimo, for some reason, his face became very gentle.
"Imperial Sister, she … is indeed a powerful and broad-minded person."
When the Empress saw him like this, she didn't know why, but she felt a little uneasy.
She hesitated … After a while, she opened her mouth.
"Son … do you have feelings for that GongYimo?"
She didn't say the last four words. She just looked at Gong Che with a thoughtful expression.
When Gong Che came back to his senses, he heard, "Hm? Imperial Mother, what did you just say? "
Looking at the gentle and confident glow on her son's handsome face, the Empress shook her head evasively, "Nothing, there's no time to lose … Imperial Mother will go see your Imperial Father now! It's just that … "
She looked at Gong Che and wanted to say something, but stopped. It's just that … that's your sister! Even if they aren't related by blood, this is a crime against the world!
But she didn't say it. Now that they were in a precarious situation, why should she say it?
Thinking that he wouldn't be able to see the Empress for a long time, Gong Che stayed with her and said a few more words before finally leaving.
The moment he stepped out of Feng Qi Palace! Gong Che looked at the blue sky and white clouds. His heart suddenly filled with infinite joy!
He was going to leave. He was going to build his own business and break through this world!
Gong Che looked in the direction of Zhao Yang Hall and smiled slightly … When he came back, he would no longer be controlled by others!
The weather in the capital had always been dry and sunny.
Sure enough, the next day, when Gong Che proposed to leave the capital to build a canal, the court was in an uproar.
Everyone looked at him with a strange gaze. Had the Crown Prince gone crazy from all the provocations he had received today? One must know that the Crown Prince's only privilege was to govern the country on behalf of the Emperor. How could he give up such a good opportunity to build a canal?
. and according to the Crown Prince's plan..... Moreover, it was indeed marvelous. The benefits it could bring were innumerable! Once it was completed, it would be a great achievement! ..... But who knew how many years it? .. . 8? At that time, everything would be settled. What would be the point of all these achievements? Using such a method to increase one's political achievements was simply too foolish.
Therefore, under such strange gazes, not a single official stood out to refute. Gong Che stood below the Imperial Court with his back ramrod straight. He ignored those gazes and faced the Emperor directly.
Gong Cheng's fingers tapped on the dragon throne as he pondered.
Yesterday, the Empress sent someone to hand over the Phoenix Seal. She said she would enter the temple to pray for the people. But here, his son proposed to leave the capital to control the flood and build a canal.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Crown Prince was already muddling along and was disheartened, so he accepted the order to leave the capital. However, he was able to pull himself together in such a short period of time, stand here in high spirits, and make such a decision. Gong Cheng felt that his son had not collapsed.
He just didn't know why he wanted to build a canal. It was indeed too long.
Gong Che was chilled by the Emperor's stare. Did Imperial Father see something? Gong Che's mind was full of thoughts. His spirit was highly concentrated!
"This is a good thing!"
The Emperor suddenly laughed and praised in a voice as loud as a bell, "That's a wonderful idea! Although the project is vast, it will be a good thing for the country and the people if it is really built. "
Looks like he agreed?
Gong Che heaved a sigh of relief.
Gong Cheng stared at him without blinking. Being stared at by the Emperor like this, Gong Che's heart was raised again.
"This matter, Zhen will fully support it! No matter how long it takes to build it, Zhen will undertake it. But … Che, do you really want to take this task? "
Gong Che took a deep breath. At this time, his eyebrows were gentle and calm. The elegance that belonged to the Crown Prince once again appeared on his body.
"This son is willing to accept the order. If the canal is not built, this son will not return to the capital!"
His determination made the ministers gasp. The Crown Prince must be crazy. He was stimulated to the point of madness!
Gong Cheng was also very surprised. He leaned forward in his dragon throne as if he wanted to see through the other side.
"This matter is hard and heavy. Che, do you have any requests?"
Gong Che slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. He raised his head and said the prepared script.
"This son … has three requests!"
"Oh?" For this child who has always been very gentle, this is the first time he is so strong.
Gong Cheng waved his hand, "There's no harm in saying it!"
Gong Che smiled slightly, "First, this son will be gone for many years. I hope that Imperial Father can look after Imperial Mother for returning the Phoenix seal."
"Your filial piety is commendable. Zhen will allow it."
Gong Che's eyes brightened, and he smiled again, "Second, this son hopes that no matter how long this son will cultivate, Imperial Father will not send another person to take charge. This matter can only be handled by this son!"
This made Gong Cheng a little strange. Is there anyone who wants to compete with him for the right to take charge?
He smiled, "This matter is huge. I'm afraid your energy will be limited."
Gong Che smiled gently, "That's the third request. Because this matter is huge, this son wants the ministers to send their talented children. First, it's to train the talents for our Dai Yu State. Second, they can be used by me. I hope Imperial Father will grant these three requests!"
Gong Cheng's eyes flashed! He pondered for a moment, then leaned back on the dragon throne and looked down at the ministers.
"Does anyone have any objections?"
All the ministers looked at each other. What can they do about this kind of good thing?
They don't have much, but they have a lot of sons. When the time comes, they can send a favored child who has no official position. When he comes back, he will be promoted! As for whether the child sent is talented or not, hmph, this is not something the crown prince can decide.
Therefore, for a moment, all the ministers nodded and praised the crown prince for his benevolence and thoughtfulness.
Gong Cheng looked down at the court. It's been a long time since he saw such a happy scene. Some time ago, they were like aggressive roosters who fought until their eyes turned red. Now that they finally forced the main character out of the capital, they must be very proud, right?
Gong Che just looked at them and smiled at these praises without saying anything.
A month ago, these people forced his grandfather to bleed on the spot. Now, they are praising him for his filial piety. This … is the imperial court ah. He tried to make himself smile benevolently and gently. He should have been used to this kind of imperial court long ago.
He couldn't help but think of GongYimo. She was the only one who sincerely thought for him. She gave him advice and thought about everything … Gong Che's heart warmed, and he suddenly wanted to go home.
