Chapter 808: The Operation Begins!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The next morning, Su Ji did not delay the court session. When it was time to leave, she said something that made all the ministers suspect that something was wrong.
“All of you have worked hard. Go home early and rest today.”
Ning Bianyi blinked his eyes suspiciously, his wrists turning purple from the pinching in his sleeves, but he still couldn’t hold it in and said sarcastically, “if it weren’t for Your Highness’ bold and decisive reform of the court, I wouldn’t have to work so hard…
As soon as he finished speaking, some people from the same party winked at him. Ning Bian was too quick with his words and felt that he had misspoken. Carrying out reforms was a matter of benefiting the people, and as ministers, they should share the worries and difficulties of the emperor.
Although…the Consort Dowager was not the emperor!
However, he was not in a position to say that.
Ning Bianyi coughed and was about to explain himself when the next second, the girl behind the bead curtain in the hall spoke up. “You are right.”
Ning Bian’s muscles tightened.
It was over.
She was definitely going to fire at him!
The entire court fell silent. The officials standing around Ning Bianyi subconsciously took a step back, putting some distance between them and him to avoid being affected!
A strange silence spread.
Ning Bian lowered his head, cupped his hands and swallowed nervously.
After waiting for more than a minute, Su Ji finally spoke again.
“All of you have contributed greatly to the recent implementation of the two-tax system reform. From today onwards, everyone will have a three-day holiday… ”
As soon as she finished speaking, all the officials in the court looked at Su Ji in unison.
Ning Bianyi was even more confused.
Not only did she not punish him…she actually gave them a holiday?
What kind of strategy was that?
If this was any other time, Su Ji’s words would have made Ning Bianyi choke and turn him into a tomato.
But now…
Everyone kept their hands clasped in front of their chest and looked at each other with their heads lowered.
They analyzed Su Ji’s tone when she said that.
Her tone sounded normal.
It really didn’t seem like she was being sarcastic!
“The court session is over.” Su Ji waved her sleeves. Behind the curtain, under her gorgeous dress, she was in a cross-legged position.
The ministers left, while Prince Huai’s gaze remained on the main hall. He watched as Su Ji put down her skirt and stood up to leave, humming a tune.
After the court, Su Ji summoned Prince Huai to the royal study.
In just an hour, she had told him about the workload for the next half a year.
Especially those related to Zhou Zicheng.
Although things might change in this life, Su Ji still told Prince Huai everything she remembered in her previous life.
For example, how Zhou Zicheng would revolt in the future, what methods he would use, how he would arrange his troops, and…he was the best at manipulating people.
Therefore, he had to be careful of the people around him.
