Mixed in Datang to be a son-in-law

"No, on the contrary, it helped me a lot."

Zhou Jinyan took out the memorial from his bosom, "Mr. Zhao, do you want to see it?"

Changsun Wuji waved his hand, "Forget it, that bastard didn't cause you any trouble."

Zhou Jinyan put away the memorial and said, "It's a pity that before I came back, our Tang army was defeated, so I'm afraid we don't have much credit for it."

Changsun Wuji laughed and said, "Your Majesty knows all about the matter between you and King Wei. Your Majesty will not listen to King Wei's one-sided words."

The servant laughed and said, "Duke Zhao, Shaojian Yan, Your Majesty is still waiting to see Prince Zhou."

"Oh, good."

Changsun Wuji said: "You can go first. When you get back from the palace, you can go to my place when you have time. I will clean up the dust for you. Thank you very much."

Zhou Jinyan talked politely with him for a while, then followed the servant to the imperial study.

---------

Zhou Jinyan entered the imperial study room, exchanged pleasantries with Li Shimin, and handed over the memorial.

Li Shimin opened the memorial and couldn't help laughing: "This is what you wrote to me?"

"This is something Wei Chen promised them, so it's better to talk about it first."

Li Shimin nodded with a smile and said: "That's right, it's much more detailed than the information I got. Li Wei and Shan Daozhen are both good. Neither arrogant nor impetuous, if given time, they will definitely become the pillars of our Great Tang."

Zhou Jinyan cupped his hands and said, "I would like to thank Your Majesty on their behalf."

Li Shimin suddenly said: "As far as I know, you and Shan Dao really don't seem to get along well, how did you get together?"

Zhou Jinyan smiled and said: "Everyone is an upright person, there are not so many ways, I am responsible for letting him do some things, once he is in a happy mood, there is nothing he can't let go of the previous grievances."

"Are you still an upright person?"

Li Shimin replied with a half-smile.

Zhou Jinyan said without hesitation: "My minister is indeed an upright person. Although His Majesty asked me to help King Wei defeat this time, most of King Wei's defeat was fought by himself, and it has nothing to do with me."

"Forget it, I won't talk to you about this."

Li Shimin said: "Anyway, you are also the deputy commander. Although you have won many battles, I can't reward you, so forget it. Do you have complaints in your heart?"

"Wei Chen dare not."

"Well, I have made up my mind. I plan to make Li Zhi the future prince of the Tang Dynasty, and send Qing Que and Gao Ming to other places as officials."

Zhou Jinyan didn't say anything, he already knew about this, and there was no surprise.

However, Li Shimin told him this, which made him somewhat puzzled.

What's the use of talking to him?

"Smart thing..."

Sure enough, there was a hesitant expression on Li Shimin's face, "It's not long since the time has passed, what would happen if you said it at this time and talk about it later?"

Zhou Jinyan shook his head and said, "I don't know much about it."

"You can say what you have, why go out for a trip, but you will be born?"

Li Shimin glared at him very dissatisfied.

Zhou Jinyan said with a smile: "Your Majesty is heaven. If you want to forgive your son, why should you depend on other people's opinions?"

"You boy."

Li Shimin sighed: "Even so, Gao Ming is my son after all. If I can't give a good explanation, how can I set a good example for the world?"

Zhou Jinyan was quite puzzled, thinking that you have done a lot of bad things, but at this time, he wanted to set an example.

But he also knew that Li Shimin was talking so much nonsense because he wanted confidence.

Others give him confidence.

"If Your Majesty can pardon the prince, I think there should be no problem."

"But what if there are still people blocking it?"

Li Shimin frowned and said, "I mentioned it twice before, but both civil and military officials rejected it, saying that there is no possibility of forgiveness for Gao Ming's crime."

Zhou Jin said: "Since that's the case, then just find someone to die for the crown prince."

Li Shimin fell silent.

After a long time, he shook his head, "This is not acceptable. If he is allowed to hide his name, I will not bear it, and I have no way to explain to my queen."

Zhou Jinyan had a headache, he didn't understand why Li Shimin always discussed this matter with him.

What can he do?

Isn't it more useful to go to Changsun Wuji and other veteran officials for this matter?

After thinking for a while, Zhou Jin said: "If anyone opposes more strongly, I may have a way to make them unable to object."

Li Shimin said anxiously: "What method?"

"Send them out to do business first, and after they leave, it's a done deal. I think they won't be held accountable when they come back, right?"

"Maybe question me."

Zhou Jinyan: "......"

Li Shimin showed a smile on his face, and said: "Even if you are accountable, you can just ask. Your method is more reliable. It's just that they will leave when the time comes, but someone needs to bring up clever things, so that I can do the next thing. "

After a pause, he said: "How about this, you go and talk to Cheng Yaojin, Du Ruhui, Yan Shigu, Qin Qiong... and I will send some other people to persuade them Others, when the time comes, they will have their say, and the main opponents will not be there, so great things will happen."

"I will try my best."

"Try what?"

Li Shimin said with a straight face: "Your relationship with them is not bad, if you tell them well, will they agree?"

"That's fine, I'll tell."

Zhou Jinyan didn't bother to reason.Li Shimin seemed to be convinced of him.

But whoever let himself eat the three daughters of the family is justified or unreasonable.

"That's probably all there is to it."

Li Shimin rubbed his forehead, "These things have been hanging in my heart all day, and I worry about them all day long. I hope this time it can be done once and for all."

"Then Wei Chen retire."

Zhou Jinyan didn't have anything else to say, and planned to resign.

Li Shimin was quite satisfied with Zhou Jinyan at this time. He glanced at him and said, "No matter what you say this time, you have made great achievements. It would be unreasonable not to reward you. How about this? I will raise your title and make you a county lord." .”

Zhou Jinyan was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.

All rewards are fake, but the title is real.

Thousands of households in the county, Hou Shiyi, from the third grade, are two grades behind the county tolerance.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Wei Chen."

Li Shimin said again: "If there are any other requirements, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to satisfy you."

"I have no other requests for now, thank you Your Majesty."

Walking out of the imperial study, Zhou Jinyan looked at the high blue sky and couldn't help but took a deep breath.

Li Shimin is actually quite good to him.

Everything he did made him feel sorry for Li Shimin.

He didn't think much about it either. These miscellaneous thoughts flashed through his mind and were quickly thrown behind him.

After leaving the palace, Zhou Jinyan went straight to Yan's residence.

Chang'an will stay for a while, and Zhou Jinyan doesn't know how long he will stay.

Chapter 914 Guilt

Hurriedly returning to the Yan Mansion, Zhou Jinyan saw the entrance of the Yan Mansion from a distance, and a pretty woman in a red dress was standing on the steps looking around.

Seeing Yan Ruyu just after he came back, Zhou Jinyan was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Sister Ruyu."

Yan Ruyu also saw him, and kept waving at him.

"Sister Ruyu, I miss you so much."

Zhou Jinyan ran forward quickly, hugged Yan Ruyu, and held her tightly in his arms.

Yan Ruyu twisted her body and said in a low voice, "Quickly let go, there are people here."

Zhou Jinyan chuckled, let go and said, "Master Yan has come back, right?"

"Well, it was my grandfather who told me that you went to the palace, and I reckon you will come back soon."

"Go in and talk."

Yan Ruyu took his hand and walked into the yard.

Zhou Jinyan followed behind happily in his heart, and when he came back, he didn't expect Yan Ruyu to take the initiative much more.

"I heard that you lost a big battle in Tubo, didn't you?"

"It's really fast."

Zhou Jinyan said: "Actually, it is not a defeat. The loss is quite a lot, but Tubo will only be bigger than us."

"It has spread throughout Chang'an, saying that the King of Wei has suffered a big defeat, and of course you are also involved."

Zhou Jinyan smiled and was too lazy to explain.

"However, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, so don't mind too much."

"Nothing."

The two entered the atrium through the front door, Zhou Jinyan did not find Yan Shigu.

"Where did Master Yan go?"

"Come back and go out again."

Yan Ruyu pulled her aside and sat down, and suddenly said apologetically, "I have to apologize to you."

Zhou Jinyan's heart skipped a beat, and he forced a smile and said, "What are you doing for a good apology?"

"Hey, it's hard to say. Anyway, it's all my fault."

"what happened?"

Zhou Jinyan held his hand tightly, feeling tense in his heart.

"It's about Miss Wu."

"Where's the Wujue?"

Zhou Jinyan got up abruptly, a very bad premonition filled his heart.

Yan Ruyu looked at him and said, "She, I don't know where she is now."

"How did this happen? Disappeared for no reason?"

"That's not true. To be precise, she should have been taken away by her sister..."

"Where is Wu Shun?"

It's Wu Shun again!

Zhou Jinyan's heart suddenly exploded.

"At King Qi's residence."

Yan Ruyu said: "At that time I didn't let Miss Wu go, but Wu Shun didn't know what to show her, Miss Wu went anyway, but she never came back."
