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

[一□□]

At the same time, the Golden Luan Hall.

At this time, the new monarch was wearing a dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair in the Jinluan Hall, looking down at the officials.

Standing below, the head of the civil servants standing at the front is Meng Changru, the prime minister of the dynasty, and the head of the military officials on the other side is the head of the military officials, the great general of the dynasty Yan Zhonghe.

Now that the new emperor is on the throne, the court has too many things to discuss, the most important thing is to change the year name. When Emperor Tianshun was in power, it was Tianshun. Now that the new emperor ascends the throne, the year name is changed to Tianyuan.

In the first year of Tianyuan, Wei Tianlin, the new king of the Jin Dynasty, succeeded to the throne, amnesty the world, and reduced the tax for three years.

After the deliberations on the important affairs of the court were completed, Emperor Tianyuan glanced at the ministers, and a hint of doubt appeared on his originally expressionless face.

The officials thought that Emperor Tianyuan's Long Yan was not happy, so they all stood below tremblingly, lowered their heads, and did not dare to make a sound.

After a long time, the ministers heard Emperor Tianyuan ask, "Where is Zhou Jinyu?"

At this time, Jiang Youde, the chief eunuch, said respectfully: "Return to Your Majesty, Mr. Zhou has just come to ask for leave, saying that he is sick and asked for leave."

Emperor Tianyuan was taken aback for a moment, and then he smiled in a half-smile, and made a mature and prudent look: "Oh? Are you on leave?"

As soon as these words came out, a minister immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhou asked for leave on the morning of your first day. It is disrespectful and the criminal deceives the king."

Emperor Tianyuan raised his eyebrows, but did not speak.

Immediately afterwards, ministers came out to file complaints one after another.

Emperor Tianyuan just listened quietly, and when they finished speaking with righteous indignation, Emperor Tianyuan said: "Since Zhou Qing is in poor health, let the imperial hospital visit him. If he is ill, I will feel uneasy."

As soon as these words came out, the officials immediately silenced.

His Majesty's words already showed his attitude towards Zhou Jinyu.

If they want to take the opportunity to participate in the hero who turned the world around yesterday and supported the new king to ascend the throne, wouldn't they be slapping Emperor Tianyuan in the face?

Everyone has a calculation in their hearts, next time they see that son-in-law, they must be more cautious.

After the morning court was over, Emperor Tianyuan waved his hand and made all the officials retreat.

After all the ministers had dispersed, Emperor Tianyuan ordered: "Bring up the note of Zhou Qing's leave."

Jiang Youde immediately bowed and presented it.

Emperor Tianyuan opened it and saw that there were some densely packed small characters written on it, which said that Zhou Jinyu had been vomiting and diarrhea since last night, and couldn't sleep at night, until noon today. Among them, words such as "Ah!", "Alas!", "Painful!", "Life is worse than death!"

Emperor Tianyuan covered his mouth and laughed, but seeing Jiang Youde looking at him, he regained the majesty of the emperor, and said: "Jiang Youde, go to announce the decree, and tell Zhou Qing that I will wait for him in the imperial study."

Jiang Youde responded immediately, turned around and left.

Emperor Tianyuan sat on the dragon chair, carefully flipping through the brochures handed over by the courtiers. Most of the contents were praises, he flipped through a few, and put the brochure in his hand on the dragon case, and sighed tone.

He had just ascended the throne, so he knew that the officials would take advantage of his youth and deceive him in various ways.

So he stood up and went to the royal study.

The little eunuch behind him hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to take these notes with you?"

Emperor Tianyuan waved his hand: "That's all."

After he finished speaking, he walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back.

An hour and a half later, Zhou Jinyu arrived.

Zhou Jinyu originally planned to spend some time with Wei Huanian at the mansion, but not long after, the imperial decree arrived, she had no choice but to change into court clothes and enter the palace.

Zhou Jinyu entered the imperial study room and saluted Emperor Tianyuan: "My minister pays homage to His Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."

Emperor Tianyuan said: "Be flat."

Zhou Jinyu stood up, and Emperor Tianyuan waved his hand, ordering all the palace people to retreat.

After everyone had left, Emperor Tianyuan stood up from his seat, walked up to Zhou Jinyu, and called out in a muffled voice, "Brother-in-law."

Zhou Jinyu was startled, and quickly bowed and said, "I don't dare."

Emperor Tianyuan said lazily: "Why don't you dare, I know you best."

Zhou Jinyu raised his face and smiled: "The courtesy of a monarch and his ministers cannot be revoked, and the ministers sincerely respect His Majesty."

Emperor Tianyuan took a careful look at her, then sighed, "I've changed my mind."

Zhou Jinyu reacted for a while, then suddenly raised his head, completely forgetting the respect of the monarch and his ministers, as if it was a firecracker immediately: "What? Your Majesty, how could you do this? You promised me yesterday to let me resign, why? Are you going to regret it?"

Emperor Tianyuan bite the bullet and said: "I am the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven speaks, will you listen or not?"

Zhou Jinyu frowned helplessly: "Your Majesty, you are cheating."

Emperor Tianyuan smiled, and said frankly: "Now that I have just ascended the throne, when I was a prince earlier, my father only asked me to study and practice martial arts, and never asked about government affairs. Now this burden is on my shoulders, as if It's like a big mountain. I... need your help."

Zhou Jinyu lowered his head, suppressed the reluctance in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, my ministers are ignorant and incapable of governing the country. Besides, you still have old ministers like Meng Peng, who all supported Your Majesty." .”

Emperor Tianyuan said: "That's different." Emperor Tianyuan said stubbornly: "There are very few trustworthy people around me now. If you want to resign, I will be alone. It is really difficult to deal with the government and move a single step."

Zhou Jinyu smiled helplessly: "Your Majesty is serious."

Zhou Jinyu laughed for a while, but seeing Emperor Tianyuan's serious face, she couldn't stop laughing, and could only ask, "Then, can your majesty tell me why you are worried?"

Emperor Tianyuan said: "I am worried about the world."

Zhou Jinyu: "..."

This is too much to say, but seeing the determination on Emperor Tianyuan's young face, Zhou Jinyu asked, "Can you tell me more about it, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Tianyuan paused, and said: "Although I was young at the time, I can also see that my father was too radical in governing the country and ministers. Under heavy pressure, although the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, the laws were strict and sometimes The mob is in chaos, and there are many factions among the officials. Although it is beneficial to the imperial power to weigh each other, it is really not good for the people to fight for power."

Zhou Jinyu nodded: "Well, Your Majesty, don't you know everything about it?"

Emperor Tianyuan said: "Although I know it, I don't know how to change all this. If I govern the country like my father, although I won't lose the country, but after all, I will just follow in my father's footsteps and follow the rules."

Zhou Jinyu completely understood that Emperor Yuan had just become emperor today and wanted to make a big difference, but he didn't want to follow the example of Emperor Tianshun, so this ambitious kid in front of him suddenly had no choice.

Zhou Jinyu thought for a while, and said: "I heard that when Lord Tianshun first won the world, he cut the mess quickly and executed most of the veterans and retainers who fought together that day. After ascending the throne, the court directly changed a group of people. First, the newly promoted people competed for power, and finally formed parties, which opposed each other, and finally created a situation where parties competed."

Emperor Tianyuan nodded his head after hearing Zhou Jinyu's words, and asked, "Then I will continue to use the old ministers and let them stay in their official positions, how about it?"

Zhou Jinyu said: "This is of course good, but it is better for the emperor to have clear ears and eyes, and to know everything in his mind. As for the officials in the court, they should take it easy and not rush it. Those who are willing to do things for the court , so they stayed, and as for those bastards who don’t receive their salaries, it’s best to let them resign early and go home to farm.”

Emperor Tianyuan smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Zhou Jinyu took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, I'm the kind of bastard who doesn't receive a salary. Please let me resign."

The smile on Emperor Tianyuan's face suddenly disappeared, and he refused: "No!"

Zhou Jinyu: "..."

Zhou Jinyu said: "Your Majesty, why don't you think about it again?"

Emperor Tianyuan shook his head and said: "I don't think about it anymore. If I let you go, I will lose a good minister. I will never let you resign."

Zhou Jinyu said: "Your Majesty, it was you who gave the minister a halo."

Emperor Tianyuan was stunned, and asked: "What is adding a halo?"

Zhou Jinyu said: "It's just that you can see that I'm good everywhere, like some licking dogs... Do you know about licking dogs? It's their goddess who even throws garbage on the ground casually, and competes with the old lady for seats on the bus... They I think the goddess is so beautiful...that's..."

When Zhou Jinyu raised his eyes, he saw Emperor Tianyuan's face was dumbfounded, and he was talking like chicken and duck. Zhou Jinyu had no choice but to say: "Uh, it's okay, the minister didn't say anything."

Emperor Tianyuan said persistently: "Brother-in-law, I understand most of what you said, but I just think you are good everywhere."

Zhou Jinyu: "...All right."

The matter of resignation was completely over. Zhou Jinyu felt that she was really unlucky. At that time, Emperor Tianshun promised her to let her resign, and Emperor Tianshun died.

Now that the new king is taking the throne, it is hard to agree with the new king that as long as the new king ascends to the throne of God, she will be allowed to go.

Unexpectedly, Xinjun is a talker who doesn't count.

Who is this to reason with?

Emperor Tianyuan looked at Zhou Jinyu with a smile and said, "Meng Xiangzhen said in the early court today that the post of Minister of the Household Department is vacant. Zhou Qing, who do you think can take on this important task?"

Zhou Jinyu intuitively told her that Emperor Tianyuan was digging a hole for her.

Zhou Jinyu thought about it: "Minister..."

Before she finished speaking, Emperor Tianyuan suddenly slapped his hands: "Yes, yes! Zhou Qing, you and I thought of going together, and it was you."

Zhou Jinyu: "..."

Zhou Jinyu: "???"

Emperor Tianyuan immediately shouted to the outside: "Jiang Youde, come in."

Jiang Youde, the chief eunuch, entered immediately: "Your Majesty, please order."

Emperor Tianyuan said: "Go to Zhongshu Province to pass on my oral decree, and Zhou Jinyu will be promoted to Minister of the Household Department."

Jiang Youde immediately bowed and replied: "Yes, this old servant will go to Zhongshu Province to announce His Majesty's instructions."

Zhou Jinyu: "..."

Ugh.

She wanted to be lazy and live a free life with Wei Huanian and Xiao Baozi, why is it so difficult?

She also knows that the Hubu Shangshu is a heavy burden.

Just now when she was comforting Emperor Tianyuan, she stayed out of the matter and talked eloquently.

He even felt a little secretly happy in his heart, this child is so young, he has to take on the responsibility of the world.

Whoever imagined, the retribution came so fast.

Celebrating the Year of the Fish: [Second update]

Zhou Jinyu talked with Emperor Tianyuan about government affairs for a while, most of which were started by the Ministry of Households, and then expanded to others. Even though Zhou Jinyu was extremely unwilling, he still accepted the new identity of Minister of the Household Department.

When she came out of the imperial study, the sun above her head had already set in the west, and the majestic wind was blowing on her face. Zhou Jinyu didn't feel the slightest coolness, but felt that her heart was getting more and more agitated.

I happened to see Meng Changru, the old prime minister, walking this way.

Zhou Jinyu said hello and saluted, "Hello, Mr. Meng."

Meng Changru squinted and smiled at her, his eyes full of admiration: "Congratulations, son-in-law, for being promoted to Minister of the Household Department."

Zhou Jinyu waved his hand: "Old Prime Minister, stop making fun of me."

Meng Changru was taken aback: "What? You're not happy?"

Zhou Jinyu shook his head: "At first I thought about resigning, but who knew His Majesty's might is unpredictable, so I won't let you go."

Meng Changru smiled and said: "Since that's the case, then you should put your heart and soul into doing things for His Majesty and the court. The old man can see that His Majesty values ​​you very much."

Zhou Jinyu talked to Meng Changru for a while, and then he was going back to his residence.

Only then did I learn from Meng Changru that after Emperor Tianyuan came to the throne, Emperor Tianshun was buried in the imperial tomb, Empress Changsun was the empress dowager, and Empress Heyu was the empress dowager.However, because of his old age and poor health, Emperor Tianyuan issued an edict to let Empress Dowager Heyu go out of the palace to recuperate.

Zhou Jinyu didn't believe that the royal family could really be merciful. It was unknown whether the "healthy" empress dowager could continue to live outside the palace for ten days and a half.

Now Emperor Tianyuan already knew that Empress Dowager Heyu was the real culprit who killed his father, obviously he would not let her go.

But these are not Zhou Jinyu's considerations. She has never been interested in royal matters.

He went out of the palace, got into the carriage, and went all the way back to the mansion.

After learning that Wei Huanian was enjoying the cool air in the garden with the little bun, she immediately chased after him.

Then I saw the little bun snuggling in Wei Huanian's arms.

At this time, the sun was setting, and the western sky was covered with red clouds, and the flowers and plants in the garden were lush. Wei Huanian sat on the stone bench, and the little bun was obediently sitting on Wei Huanian's lap.

Zhou Jinyu walked over, Wei Huanian raised his head when he heard the movement, and saw Zhou Jinyu came back, remembering the various intimate actions of the man pressing on her last night, made her blush a little.

Wei Huanian's expression was extremely unnatural, and he asked Zhou Jinyu, "Have you resigned?"

Zhou Jinyu didn't want to tell Wei Huanian about this, after all, when she left the palace at noon today and was about to enter the palace, she made it clear to Wei Huanian that she would resign from office.

Wei Huanian was quite happy after hearing what she said. Zhou Jinyu also said that once she resigned successfully, she would take her and the little bun to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live.

Seeing that Wei Huanian asked, Zhou Jinyu faltered and couldn't reply.

Wei Huanian frowned slightly: "Didn't you resign?"

Zhou Jinyu said: "Well, not only did he fail to resign, but he was also promoted."

Wei Huanian said, "Yes."

When she said yes, her voice lowered slightly, and the expression on her face became indifferent.

Zhou Jinyu felt that Wei Huanian should be angry, but she was not sure, so she could only sit beside Wei Huanian and ask her, "Princess, are you angry?"

Wei Huanian said, "No."

Zhou Jinyu: "Oh."

Fortunately, the princess was not angry, and Zhou Jinyu felt relieved.

Wei Huanian: "..."

Zhou Jinyu lowered his head to look at Xiao Baozi, and asked him, "Little Baozi, have you had a good lunch?"

Xiao Baozi ignored her.

Zhou Jinyu reluctantly withdrew his hand to touch Xiao Baozi's head, sat on the stone bench, saw that the teacup in front of Wei Huanian was empty, and refilled her water.

Zhou Jinyu moved a little more cautiously, and when she finished pouring the tea, she said flatteringly, "Princess, drink tea."

Wei Huanian responded, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and put it down again.

Wei Huanian refused to speak, so Zhou Jinyu didn't dare to speak out either.

After a while, Wei Huanian asked Wan Qiu to take the little bun down.

After the little bun was walked away by Wan Qiu's hand, Wei Huanian looked at Zhou Jinyu and said, "What are you going to do about Ah Jing?"

Zhou Jinyu thought for a while and said, "The princess is worried, old grandson?"

Wei Huanian raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a "what do you say" expression.

Zhou Jinyu coughed lightly, and said, "Little Baozi is the son of the old grandson. This is an indisputable fact."

This was the first time she revealed this matter to Wei Huanian, about Xiao Baozi's identity.

As early as when Zhou Jinyu's memory recovered, she had already considered this issue.

When she couldn't think of anything, the old grandson had already appeared beside her, and began to teach her tactics without reservation. At that time, she thought, how could such an old man who opened a wonton shop know so much? eventful?Even the situation of the court of the Jin Dynasty can be clearly analyzed.

It wasn't until later that she realized that the old grandson said that the wife and children he was looking for were her mother, Liu Shi Liu Wangchen, and the little bun Wei Jingrui.

Before Liu's name was changed, she was not called Liu Wangchen. Liu Wangchen was the name changed by the old princess after she entered Guining Palace, which meant to let her forget her past.

Her previous name was Liu Rumei.

After a fire in Niujia Village that year, the Liu family fled with Zhou Jinyu. At that time, Feng Boyang was already in a high position. In order to survive, the Liu family took the young Zhou Jinyu all the way north to Turkic.

At that time, the Turks fought frequently with the surrounding tribes. At that time, the old grandson of the Turkic prince led the troops to fight. Saved by Shi.

Afterwards, it was a story that was extremely romantic but extremely sad.

At that time, the old grandson, who was still a Turkic prince, rushed to the crown and became a beauty. Regardless of the opposition of the Turkic king, he brought the Liu family to the Turkic palace. The Turkic king had already pointed out a princess for the old grandson, but he hadn't passed the door yet. .

Marriages of royal children often have a strong political color, not just for the purpose of marrying a wife, but also for the friendship between tribes.

At that time, the young and energetic prince didn't care at all. He didn't care that Mrs. Liu already had a son, and he didn't care about the horrific scars on Mrs. Liu's face that had been burned by fire. He said at the time that if he couldn't marry Mrs. Liu, Then he will never marry for life.

In the end, the Turkic king had no choice but to give in temporarily, making Liu's side concubine, and the woman originally designated for him was his main concubine.

The old grandson could only agree.

After getting married, Lao Suntou was ordered to continue to lead the army to fight, and he would often go away for several months, but Liu Shi and Zhou Jinyu became thorns in the eyes and thorns in the flesh of the people in the mansion at that time. One can imagine how hard life was at that time .

But fortunately, Liu finally became pregnant, and with the birth of that child, her life became easier.

But later, the Khitan and the Turks joined forces to fight against the Great Jin Dynasty, and as the God of War of the Turks, Lao Suntou naturally wanted to lead the army.

One month after the old grandson left, the concubine finally couldn't bear to do it.She sent someone to secretly poison the goat's milk to kill Liu's newborn child.

But it was Zhou Jinyu who took the poison by mistake.

Zhou Jinyu barely saved her life, but her young brother could no longer stay in Turkic.

So, she thought of the female general she had rescued from the wolves a few nights ago.

The female general said that she would grant her one wish.

She originally thought that she hoped that the female general would take them with her, but the female general only agreed to save one.

Zhou Jinyu finally decided to hand over this dumb brother who looked ugly and wrinkled, but unlike other children who would cry at every turn, to the female general to take away.

So, holding the dumb brother in her arms, she escaped the pursuers and rushed all the way to the place agreed with the female general.

When she handed over the child to the female general, she was captured by the Turkic army.

Later, her mother Liu took her to escape from Turkic all the way, and returned to Chang'an City in Dajin.

Because of her repeated poisoning on the road, she lost a part of her memory, but this did not prevent her innate intimacy when she saw Xiao Baozi.

It didn't prevent her from being attracted by this woman's appearance and demeanor when she saw Wei Huanian, and she always felt familiar.

But what is annoying is that from the very beginning, the old grandson approached her with ulterior motives.

Zhou Jinyu once thought that the old Suntou liked to give advice to her, and formed a long-term friendship with her simply because the two hit it off.

But she later found out, no, from the very beginning, the old grandson had been rushing to go back to the little bun.

"My son-in-law, what are you thinking?"

Wei Huanian's words brought Zhou Jinyu back to his senses.

Zhou Jinyu smiled and said: "Little Baozi is the son of the old grandson, it is true, but he is also my mother's son, and he is not what the old grandson says, my mother will be the first!" No answer."

Although after she and Wei Huanian got married, when Liu Shi saw the little bun, the true feelings in her eyes were clearly revealed, but she didn't mention anything about the past, and let the little bun live with her and Wei Huanian in the son-in-law's mansion .

But Zhou Jinyu could tell that Liu's concern for Xiao Baozi was no less than that of her and Wei Huanian. The new clothes that Xiao Baozi was wearing now were sewn stitch by thread by Liu Shi.

However, Wei Huanian said: "My son-in-law, I'm afraid you have forgotten that the day you and I went to Turkic to ask for help, my palace already agreed to let him reunite with Ah Jing and his son."

Zhou Jinyu thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Then let's run away. This time, this official, His Majesty won't let me resign, so I will resign. I will pack up and salute. Let's escape from Chang'an City overnight, and I will resign." Don't believe it, his old grandson can reach the sky in Dajin, and he can even find us!"

After Zhou Jinyu finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

But as soon as she turned her head, she saw a door guard rushing into the mansion, saluted and said: "My son-in-law, princess, there is an old man outside the door, and he wants his son to come."

Zhou Jinyu was taken aback, and directly ordered: "No, you, take a few servants and drive him away!"
