Celebrating the Year of the Fish: A Princess is Not a Concubine[GL]

[one four six]

Wei Huanian was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, she really didn't understand why Zhou Jinyu would suddenly say that.

But she didn't make any comments, just asked: "Does the son-in-law want to make a contribution?"

Zhou Jinyu shook his head and said with a smile: "What meritorious service? Princess, I am motivated to be a salted fish. It is best not to do anything, and lie at home without disease or disaster, while my wife and children are on the bed."

Knowing that she was joking, Wei Huanian asked, "Then why do you have to go to the battlefield?"

Zhou Jinyu hesitated and didn't want to say anything.

Wei Huanian stopped asking.

After a while, Zhou Jinyu suddenly asked: "Princess, do you think, with the strength of our Great Jin now, can we defeat Khitan?"

Wei Huanian was startled, then shook his head.

Zhou Jinyu smiled helplessly. In fact, it is not to blame that Wei Huanian is not optimistic. Even she has no idea in her heart. Now the military strength of the Great Jin Dynasty is no longer as strong as when Emperor Tianshun conquered the world. Most of the army today is official My son, I can't bear hardships, because of the war, the males are forced to join the army from among the common people. Those common people used to farm the land well, but suddenly there is a war, they must have difficulty adapting.

Zhou Jinyu said: "Let's see, everything is not in the end, and the result will not be seen."

Wei Huanian just looked at the young man in front of him, and was speechless for a long time. She could trust Zhou Jinyu's kung fu. If he went to the battlefield, it would probably be no problem to protect himself.

However, the battle between the two armies is extremely dangerous, can Zhou Jinyu really handle it?

In case something goes wrong...

Wei Huanian didn't dare to continue thinking, she took a step forward, took Zhou Jinyu's hand and said, "My son-in-law, if you are going to the battlefield, I won't stop you, so be careful."

Zhou Jinyu nodded with a smile, and replied casually, "Ang, I see."

One day later, it was the morning court again. What the courtiers didn't expect was that Emperor Tianshun had called Lingnan Commander Sun Sheng to the court hall without knowing when.

When Changsun Sheng was striding forward, wearing armor, and saluted Emperor Tianshun on the Golden Luan Hall, Zhou Jinyu could almost hear the gasps of the officials.

She can probably guess what those people are thinking without even thinking about it. They must be thinking that the court is about to change again.

When Emperor Tianshun first established the Great Jin Dynasty, most of the generals in the court were led by Changsun Sheng. It was only later that Changsun Sheng was demoted, which allowed Han Xinxin to dominate alone.

But now, with the return of Changsun Sheng, it already means that there will inevitably be a brand new situation in the court.

The team that had already stood in line with Han Baoxin, who was not selected by him alone, began to gradually waver in his heart, whether he should continue to stand in line with Han Baoxin.

Following a decision made by Emperor Tianshun, the court became silent in an instant.

Emperor Tianshun looked at the ministers and said: "This time we will go to Khitan, Changsun Sheng will be the deputy commander."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the court was shocked.

The courtiers bowed their heads and whispered. Zhou Jinyu stood there, listening silently, without expressing any opinion. After all, no one asked her, a small official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, to discuss it.

But this undoubtedly revealed a piece of information to the ministers, that is, Emperor Tianshun wanted to use his eldest grandson Sheng to contain the general Han Baoxin.

But the reason why Changsun Sheng was appointed as the deputy general, Zhou Jinyu thought, perhaps, the biggest possibility is that Emperor Tianshun may not even trust Changsun Sheng, and this is to let the two of them restrain each other.

Because in the eyes of everyone, Changsun Sheng and Han Baoxin, no matter who they are, are like a fierce tiger, and one mountain cannot contain two tigers.

If Zhou Jinyu can think of it, then other veterans who have been in the officialdom can naturally think of it, maybe even more than her. After all, the court has always been inextricably linked, and now the grandson Sheng is in power. They will definitely rush to curry favor.

No, as soon as the court was over, several generals surrounded Changsun Sheng, saying all kinds of congratulations.

Changsun Sheng sat on the cold bench in Lingnan for so long, so he was naturally angry. Although he was flattered by their flattery, which was tantamount to giving out a bad breath, he still didn't want to talk to them, and just said a scene: "When I go to the battlefield, I still have to rely on you."

Those people responded repeatedly, full of words of loyalty, encouraging to kill all the Khitan dogs, to assist General Changsun and so on.

Not far away, Han Tengxin took a few cronies to look at it, just snorted coldly, and left with an unhappy expression.

Just as Zhou Jinyu was about to leave, Chang Sun Sheng shouted, "Jinyu, wait a minute."

Zhou Jinyu's footsteps paused, and when he turned around, he saw Changsun Sheng leaving everyone behind and walking towards her.

Changsun Sheng walked up to her and said with a smile, "Jinyu, you are really a lucky star."

Zhou Jinyu sneered, and bowed to Changsun Sheng: "Your Majesty, I have met General Changsun. Congratulations to the general and officer for worshiping the deputy commander."

Changsun Sheng didn't hide it in front of her at this time, his eyes were full of smiles: "You are really right, this general has really been transferred back to the capital now, Jinyu, you are really a lucky star, this general Now thank you very much."

Zhou Jinyu hurriedly said: "Where is Jinyu's blessing, it is obviously your blessing, General."

Changsun Sheng patted her on the shoulder and joked: "When you were in Yong'an before, you still called the general uncle, how did you become born in the capital?"

After Zhou Jinyu paused, he immediately followed suit and shouted, "Uncle, I..."

Changsun Sheng's eyes were full of smiles, obviously he was very useful to her uncle, and said with a smile: "I can come back this time, all thanks to the bridge you built for me last time, I heard from your majesty, you said in front of him, You have given me a lot of good words, and I should really thank you."

Zhou Jinyu had a smile on her face, but she was puzzled in her heart. When she reported the Yong'an County incident to Emperor Tianshun that day, she did not exaggerate. It means that Emperor Tianshun transferred him back because of her relationship?

Zhou Jinyu was puzzled, but didn't show it on his face. He smiled and said, "The last time I was in Yong'an, it was all thanks to your help, uncle. I'm just telling the truth."

Zhou Jinyu originally wanted to take the opportunity to tell Changsun Sheng that she also wanted to go to the battlefield, and wanted to use Changsun Sheng's relationship to bring her to the battlefield.

But the reason why Emperor Tianshun took a fancy to her was that she had nothing to do with the court, and she never stood in line. If he used Changsun Sheng's mouth to tell Tianshun Emperor at this time, Tianshun Emperor would inevitably doubt her and Changsun Sheng. There is no collusion, but it is wrong.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jinyu didn't say anything, but just used the excuse that he was going to the Ministry of Officials to do business, so he had to go first.

Chang Sun Sheng originally wanted to take her to drink at his house, but seeing Zhou Jinyu was in a hurry to leave, he didn't want to keep her anymore.

Although Zhou Jinyu knew that if she spoke with Changsun Sheng, he would definitely agree to take her to the battlefield, but she couldn't let Emperor Tianshun taboo her because of this matter.

But in this way, through whose mouth should she tell Emperor Tianshun about this matter?

Zhou Jinyu made a mistake.

But she didn't expect that an imperial decree that night would help her solve this problem.

The imperial decree was sent from the palace to let her enter the palace.

Not long after Zhou Jinyu returned to the son-in-law's mansion, people came to the palace. Zhou Jinyu didn't even change his clothes, and hurriedly followed the little father-in-law who came to announce the decree into the palace.

Emperor Tianshun didn't see her in the imperial study this time, but changed his bedroom.

Zhou Jinyu entered the palace, saluted, and Emperor Tianshun asked her to stand up.

Zhou Jinyu stood up, and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty is looking for this minister, why?"

Emperor Tianshun asked: "Did you and Yuan Zhao get along well these days?"

Zhou Jinyu hurriedly said: "Weichen and the princess are doing well. The princess is virtuous and virtuous, noble and generous. The whole family likes her very much."

Emperor Tianshun was very satisfied with her answer, chatted for a while, and suddenly asked her: "If I ask you to leave the capital temporarily and leave Yuanzhao, do you have any objections?"

Zhou Jinyu was startled, saluted respectfully, and said, "If Your Majesty has orders for me, I will go through fire and water without hesitation, and I dare not object."

Emperor Tianshun nodded, looked at Zhou Jinyu with a smile and said, "Do you know why I called you here?"

Zhou Jinyu shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Emperor Tianshun held a piece of paper in his hand, which was densely covered with handwriting, and the creases on it were clearly visible. Zhou Jinyu didn't dare to look up at Long Yan. Naturally, he didn't know that there were three words written on the signature of the paper: The fine print: Zhou Jinyu.

Emperor Tianshun said: "At noon, I suddenly remembered that your examination paper from the previous year said that my attitude towards the tribes in the north is to appease the place where the dynasty is established, swallowing troops and financial resources, but the tribes in the north Fighting against each other, wolves are ambitious, you must not take it lightly, and you should always be on guard against their invasion. Back then, I only thought you were young and ignorant, boasting. Back then, all the ministries in the north surrendered to me. I originally thought that they would not have the courage to dare to fight over. "

Zhou Jinyu listened quietly.

Emperor Tianshun paused, and continued: "At least, not so soon."

"But now, after a few years of unrest, the Khitan has sent troops southward in an attempt to disturb the safety of our border with the Great Jin." Emperor Tianshun sighed, his tone full of exhaustion: "It seems that it was you who That's right, I...was wrong."

Zhou Jinyu was taken aback by these words, and immediately fell to his knees with a "plop", and said, "How can your Majesty be wrong? It was true that I was young and ignorant back then, and relying on my youth, I just guessed a thing or two by exaggerating. It's not as good as your majesty's consideration of the overall situation, it's really not as good as you."

Emperor Tianshun smiled and said: "If you are wrong, you are wrong. I admit it. Now there are only you and me here, and no outsiders are present. You don't have to be jealous, so you don't have to be sloppy."

Zhou Jinyu was stunned, weighing the meaning of Emperor Tianshun's words in his heart.

Zhou Jinyu said: "Your Majesty, what I just said is true." Zhou Jinyu raised his head and smiled obediently, and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, I have always said something in front of you. , you are a wise king, so naturally you will not embarrass your ministers."

Emperor Tianshun shook his head helplessly, and said: "Now that the battle is imminent, I want you to go out with the army, what do you think?"

Zhou Jinyu was really stunned, she couldn't understand Emperor Tianshun's intention.

Emperor Tianshun said: "I received a secret report saying that Han Baoxin was in collusion with the Khitan King. I sent you to accompany the army. Naturally, I trust you, do you understand?"

Zhou Jinyu was startled, and hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Yes, I understand, I will definitely follow His Majesty's order and find out about this matter."

Celebrating the Year of the Fish: [Second update]

Knowing Emperor Tianshun's intentions, Zhou Jinyu asked her to go with her. One was because she was the son-in-law of the eldest princess and had a special status. The other was because after she entered the officialdom, she had no party affiliation and she did not belong to any faction. Moreover, the few ministers in the same court are not close, so he can use her with confidence. This point, Emperor Tianshun hinted at this point as early as before she entered the court.

These three things are that her status is low, whether it is Han Baoxin or Changsun Sheng, it is enough for them not to take her seriously.

Thinking about it this way, Emperor Tianshun deliberately told Changsun Sheng that because of her relationship, Changsun Sheng was transferred back to the capital, nothing more than to let her speak in front of Changsun Sheng, so that Changsun Sheng should not be afraid of her.

In this way, even if she went to the battlefield with the army, she seemed to be an invisible person. No one would care about her, but it was the easiest thing to do.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jinyu felt more and more that Emperor Tianshun deserved to be a high-ranking person, and he thought things out very comprehensively.

Suddenly a person popped up in her mind, the old grandson.

If Lao Suntou and Emperor Tianshun were on the same standpoint, they would definitely make the same decision as him.

Zhou Jinyu left the palace, the night was thick, the breeze was blowing on his face, and the cool wind was blowing on his body, making him feel very cool.

Now that it is almost summer, wearing a single robe during the day will start to feel hot, but the temperature drops at night, sweeping away the heat of the day.

She was walking on the road with her hands behind her back, and the coachman advised her to get on the horse. At this time, the street was empty, and she needed to calm down, so she wanted to walk.

The coachman followed her not far away, and she walked in front, thinking as she walked, since Emperor Tianshun doubted Han Tingxin, why did he let him be the marshal?

What's in it?

She really couldn't figure it out. It stands to reason that with Emperor Tianshun's temperament, if he knew that Han Tingxin was suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason, he would definitely kill him directly.

Now Emperor Tianshun still appoints him as the marshal, then there is only one possibility, that is insufficient evidence, or in other words, he cannot trust the source of the news, maybe it is a countermeasure used by the Khitan side.

Of course, the biggest factor is nothing more than the current generals in the court. Emperor Tianshun is no longer available. After all, when Han Baoxin went to the Khitan and caused heavy damage to the Khitan, the Khitan people must have some fear in their hearts when they heard the name Han Baoxin. However, if someone else goes out to fight, it will not have this effect.

After Zhou Jinyu figured it out, he turned around and greeted the driver: "Come here, let's go home."

The coachman responded, and drove the carriage forward. Zhou Jinyu jumped into the carriage, and the carriage drove quickly, driving the night all the way back to the mansion.

When he returned home, Wei Huanian hadn't fallen asleep yet, Zhou Jinyu changed into his pajamas after washing, and saw Wei Huanian sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her quietly.

Zhou Jinyu walked up to her and sat down, and asked, "Princess, what's the matter? Why do you suddenly look at me like this?"

Wei Huanian was silent for a long time, refusing to speak.

Zhou Jinyu touched his chin in doubt: "Is there something on my face?"

Wei Huanian shook his head.

Zhou Jinyu smiled and said, "I'm just saying, I just washed my face, so there's nothing there."

Wei Huanian looked at her, and suddenly asked, "Zhou Jinyu, do you have to go to the battlefield?"

Zhou Jinyu paused and nodded, "Yes."

Wei Huanian breathed out, and said: "If you want to get promoted, you don't need to use such a radical method. The Minister of the Ministry of Officials promised me that as long as you don't make any serious mistakes in the Ministry of Officials, you will definitely do it for him before he retires and returns home." You pave the way, and within ten years, what is a mere minister?"

Zhou Jinyu was stunned: "Princess, you...you actually did this secretly for me?"

Wei Huanian did not respond, but continued to ask: "I will ask you again, do you really want to go to the battlefield?"

Zhou Jinyu suddenly smiled: "Princess, you just said, ten years?"

Wei Huanian looked at her with a cold voice: "Do you think the time is too long?"

Zhou Jinyu kept the smile on his face, and said lazily: "Long, of course."

Wei Huanian was annoyed by her words: "You...Zhou Jinyu, do you know that it is not easy to be a minister in ten years. Li Daoxue did not become a minister until he was 50 years old. Now you only need ten years to become a minister. Years, you actually told me that this time is too long?"

Zhou Jinyu said: "Princess, I will tell you a story, will you listen?"

Wei Huanian asked, "What?"

Zhou Jinyu smiled, and said in a calm tone, "When did this story happen? I almost forgot."

Wei Huanian looked at her suspiciously, Zhou Jinyu smiled, and continued: "Oh, yes, I remembered, it was the winter of the third year of Yuanzhe..."

"In the winter of the third year of Yuanzhe, there was a heavy snowfall, and the road was blocked by that heavy snowfall. The people were all overjoyed. They all said that the coming year must be a bumper harvest year, and the auspicious snow heralds a good year."

"In the winter of that year, a scholar went to Beijing to take the exam. The scholar's family was poor and his parents died early. It is said that he was despised by his fellow villagers. Since then, he has worked hard to study hard for more than ten years, in order to one day be the top student in high school. , to shine on the lintel."

"That year, His Majesty showed mercy and added a winter test in order to recruit talented people from the court."

"After the scholar found out, he was very happy. He rushed from the land of Bashu to the capital with the only money he had. However, the scholar was weak and sick. When he passed by Lingnan, it was just in time for heavy snowfall. On the mountain road, all the coils on his body have been exhausted at this time, and the scholar finally lost his strength and fainted in front of a farmer's door."

Hearing this, Wei Huanian couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Zhou Jinyu, I have already read the story you told in your script."

Zhou Jinyu smiled and said: "Don't worry, princess, I haven't finished yet. The story written in my storybook is a love story of a talented man and a beautiful woman." She paused, the smile still on her mouth, His eyes were full of coldness: "But what I'm talking about has nothing to do with that epic and deceitful love story."

Wei Huanian remained silent, motioning for her to continue.

Zhou Jinyu continued: "It's a coincidence that the lady from the farmer's family was opening the door to pour water, and suddenly saw a handsome scholar standing in front of the door, and the scholar was already curled up in front of her door, shivering from the cold. trembling."

"That young lady is a kind-hearted fool at first glance. She went home and gave half of the dry food to the scholar. The scholar was already very hungry, so he grabbed the dry food and gobbled it up."

"When the scholar finished eating, he should have thanked him and continued on his way. But guess what happened afterwards?"

Zhou Jinyu looked at Wei Huanian with a smile.

Wei Huanian thought about what Zhou Jinyu said just now, that it was not a love story, so he guessed: "The scholar begged for money from that lady?"

Zhou Jinyu shook his head: "No, that scholar is very smart. He expected that lady to be kind-hearted. After he finished his dry food, he passed out again. Tell me, is he smart?"

Wei Huanian frowned, and said, "It really is a good plan."

Zhou Jinyu said: "Yeah, it's just a good intention. The lady from the farmer's family has never traveled far, so she naturally doesn't understand these twists and turns. At that time, she only thought that if a scholar fainted in front of her house, she couldn't just sit and watch." ignore."

"So, she brought the scholar home. After the scholar woke up, he was very polite and conversant. Although the young lady lived in a farmhouse, she was proficient in poetry and poetry. However, the young lady and her father depended on each other for life. There are not many people who can talk about poetry with her, but the scholar seems to be eloquent, and within a few days, the young lady began to fall in love with him."

Hearing this, Wei Huanian was a little puzzled: "How many days have passed? After the scholar wakes up, shouldn't he immediately go to Beijing to take the exam?"

Zhou Jinyu shook his head: "No, maybe it's because the scholar didn't have any money and couldn't leave, maybe it's because the scholar saw that there were many famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall of the farmer's house. He expected this farmer's house to be unusual. So make friends."

"In short, the scholar lived in the farmhouse for the reason of recuperating from his illness."

"That young lady is innocent, doesn't have much thought, and doesn't know that people's hearts are sinister. But her father can tell at a glance that the scholar is not as loyal as he shows, but is a person with deep scheming. How could he If you can't see what your daughter is thinking, then you will definitely not allow the scholar to continue to communicate with that young lady, and even drive the scholar away."

"But why is the scholar willing to leave? The scholar is not stupid. He knows that even if the lady's father wants to drive him away now, there is nothing he can do." Zhou Jinyu suddenly laughed: "Because, the lady I already have the scholar's flesh and blood in my stomach, tell me, is this trick smart or not?"

Wei Huanian frowned, she had guessed something in her mind, she looked at Zhou Jinyu almost in surprise.

However, Zhou Jinyu's eyes were still smiling, but she smiled, but she put away her smile and continued: "The scholar has already guessed the identity of the owner of the farmer, so the young lady and her father are not ordinary people. , her father was a great Confucian in the former dynasty, and later became an official in the new dynasty, and is deeply appreciated by His Majesty today. However, her father was upright and honest, and His Majesty turned a blind eye to the corruption and fraud in the court at that time. If you can't see it with one eye, you will return to your hometown because of illness."

"The scholar guessed the identity of the Great Confucianism, and used the child in the lady's stomach to threaten him, asking him to write a recommendation letter for him. He took the recommendation letter and went to the capital to take the exam. He will definitely pass the high school."

Wei Huanian paused, and asked, "The Confucian agreed?"

Zhou Jinyu said as a matter of course: "I agreed, how could I not agree? The examiner at that time was Han Jin, who had a friendship with the great scholar, and the scholar swore a poisonous oath, as long as the great scholar is willing to help him this time, wait for him When he got the number one scholar in high school, he came back and immediately married the young lady, and the scholar swore his blood and wrote a swearing letter, saying that if he violated this oath, he would be destroyed by heaven and earth."

"The Great Confucian has always been an upright official. He has been innocent all his life, but now his daughter is pregnant with his child. Tell me, can he not agree?"

Wei Huanian nodded, and asked, "What happened next?"

Zhou Jinyu smiled and said, "Later, the scholar relied on that letter of recommendation and was indeed the number one scholar in high school."

"It's just that he didn't fulfill his promise. Instead, he married a young lady who was a nobleman in the court."

"With the support of that dignitary, the scholar's official career was prosperous after high school, and he was promoted step by step. Later, because of his meritorious service in transporting food on the battlefield, he saved the life of the emperor. After returning, the emperor rewarded him for his meritorious service and asked his official to worship the minister."

Wei Huanian thought about it, in Zhou Jinyu's story, she was only talking about the scholar, and didn't mention what happened to the lady later.

She asked, "What about the lady?"

Zhou Jinyu said lightly, "I'm married to someone else."

Wei Huanian's heart tightened, and he asked, "Who did you marry?"

Zhou Jinyu smiled and said, "A fool in the same village. That fool can't speak, but he is honest. He knows that the child in her stomach is not his, and he does his best to help her raise it. Are you stupid?"

Zhou Jinyu laughed: "I think these two people are stupid, they just make a good pair."

Wei Huanian sighed, "He's also a poor man."

Zhou Jinyu still had a smile on his face: "Is it pitiful? There are even more pitiful ones, do you want to hear it?"

Wei Huanian looked at her and asked, "What else?"

Zhou Jinyu said with a smile: "Later, after the scholar became a minister, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was wrong. After all, he is now the minister of the court, with a high position and a second-rank official position, and he already has a wife and children at home. Well, if the Dongchuang incident is revealed and people find out about the bastard things he did in the past, his reputation will be ruined."

Wei Huanian asked, "What did he do?"

Zhou Jinyu smiled and said, "He didn't do anything, just set fire to that fool's family, that's all."

Wei Huanian's face was full of surprise, she wanted to reach out and touch Zhou Jinyu's face.

But he also felt that although Zhou Jinyu had a smile on his face, his eyes were full of sadness.

She feels distressed.

Zhou Jinyu smiled and asked her: "Princess, tell me, does that idiot's family deserve it? They obviously didn't do anything, and the lady didn't even think about going to the capital to find that scholar again."

"She has such a strong temper and is so stubborn. She just blamed herself for being young and ignorant at the time. For five years, during these five years, she really...really, wanted to go back to find that The scholar has no idea."

Zhou Jinyu smiled, with crystal liquid flowing out of her eyes, she asked Wei Huanian who was close at hand: "Princess, tell me, why doesn't the scholar let her go?"

Wei Huanian's heart suddenly felt a pain for no reason. Zhou Jinyu was always cheerful on weekdays, but now her eyes were full of sadness and sadness.

Zhou Jinyu like this made her feel at a loss.

Zhou Jinyu opened his mouth, wanting to say something else.

Wei Huanian suddenly stretched out his hand and gently hugged her in his arms.

At this moment, Zhou Jinyu seemed to let go of all the burdens in her body. At this moment, it seemed that there was only one Wei Huanian in this world. All the grievances flooded her in an instant, and she sobbed softly.

Wei Huanian let her be sad, just patted her on the back, comforting: "It's over, don't be afraid. With Bengong here, no one can hurt you again."
