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

[one seven two]

Feng Weizhi's expression became completely depressed, no longer the look of gnashing his teeth in hatred just now.

However, the expression on Zhou Jinyu's face has never changed, it has always been calm and calm.

Zhou Jinyu said to him: "On the way here, General Yan told me that you will be executed at noon tomorrow."

Feng Weizhi smiled bitterly: "Yes."

Zhou Jinyu asked him, "Do you regret it?"

Feng Wei was startled, he knew what Zhou Jinyu said.

In Yongshou Palace that day, he did not disclose her identity to Zhao Hai. After he left the palace, he did not report her to the rebels. Instead, he chose to hide it and let Zhou Jinyu and Yan Jiajun kill Zhao Hai and take the palace.

It was Feng Weizhi's choice that day that caused him to become a prisoner today.

For Feng Weizhi, this was nothing more than a loss-making business.

"Ask me, do you regret it?"

Feng Weizhi gave a wry smile and continued, "I don't regret it."

A trace of doubt flashed in Zhou Jinyu's eyes: "Don't you regret it? I originally thought that a person like you would not make sacrifices for a woman."

Feng Weizhi chuckled, "She's different."

Zhou Jinyu raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

Feng Weizhi nodded: "Yes, she is different in neon clothes."

Zhou Jinyu asked, "What's the difference?"

"The Feng family was implicated at the beginning, and only I escaped. At that time, I lost my status as the son of the family, lost all my original glory, and became a fugitive. I went to my father's old department for help, but they all betrayed me. , Abandon me like a shoe. Only Nishang, only Nishang, she followed me all the way, took care of me, protected me, without her by my side, Feng Weizhi would have died a long time ago."

Zhou Jinyu was secretly surprised. She always felt that whether it was Feng Weizhi or Zheng Nishang, they were the kind of people who would throw away anything for their own benefit.

However, what Feng Weizhi said now made her slightly change her view of these two people.

Feng Weizhi continued: "I promised her at the time that as long as I'm here, I won't let her suffer."

Feng Weizhi looked at Zhou Jinyu and begged, "You guys, can you let her go?"

Zhou Jinyu pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled: "It's not impossible to let a weak woman go."

Feng Weizhi suddenly bent down, then knelt down on the ground, and saluted Zhou Jinyu: "That's it, thank you."

Zhou Jinyu said: "Don't thank me in a hurry." Zhou Jinyu paused, and continued: "Let Zheng Nishang go, it's just a matter of one sentence, but it depends on you, Mr. Feng, whether you can What kind of news will you exchange for your woman's life?"

Feng Weizhi paused, raised his head, and looked at Zhou Jinyu coldly: "I'm going to die now, I have nothing left."

Zhou Jinyu twitched his lips: "No, maybe you can tell me where Yuan Tianfang is now?"

"What!" Feng Weizhi was completely stunned, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, as if he wanted to hide it, he said, "I don't know."

"Huh? Don't you know?" Zhou Jinyu squatted down and looked at Feng Weizhi with a smile: "Don't panic, I'll give you a cup of tea to consider whether you want to hide his current place Speak it out, and when you think it through, it's not too late for you to tell me slowly."

Feng Weizhi: "I..."

Zhou Jinyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, think slowly."

After she finished speaking, she stood up, put her hands behind her back, and walked out of the cell.

In fact, Zhou Jinyu had doubts about this for a long time. With Zhao Hai's idiot ability, she would never believe that he would have the courage to come to the capital.

Later, I heard someone say that in the barracks of the rebel army, there was a fairy army division, and it was under the strategy of that army division that Zhao Hai was able to capture several cities and enter Chang'an all the way.

This person must be Yuan Tianfang.

When Empress Dowager He Yu lost power and Wei Tianlin succeeded to the throne, she secretly investigated Yuan Tianfang's identity at that time. He was also responsible for the death of Emperor Tianshun back then. Nor would I believe it.

But Yuan Tianfang had disappeared at that time. After Zhou Jinyu found out his identity as a secret agent of the Western Regions, he immediately told Tianyuan Emperor Wei Tianlin.

Now, Zhou Jinyu has learned about this person again, and it is very likely that Yuan Tianfang has not had time to leave Chang'an City at this time.

Then, of course, we can't let him go.

After a cup of tea, Zhou Jinyu walked into the cell again.

Seeing Feng Weizhi, Zhou Jinyu asked him, "Have you figured it out?"

Feng Weizhi paused for a moment, and finally nodded his head: "I understand, but you must promise me that you will protect Nishang well and don't let her suffer any harm."

Zhou Jinyu replied: "Don't worry about this, since I promised you, I won't break my promise."

Feng Weizhi's eyes flickered for a moment, then he finally closed his eyes, and said with difficulty: "Nishang she...is pregnant in her stomach, she can't do anything...Zhou Jinyu, just beg you...you promise me Yes, please do it."

Zhou Jinyu suddenly realized that Feng Weizhi had said everything, what else did she not understand?

No wonder Feng Weizhi was willing to make such a choice, it turned out that Zheng Nishang was already pregnant with his child.

Based on the argument he had with Zhao Hai in the hall last time, Zhao Haiming knew that Zheng Nishang was pregnant with Feng Weizhi's child, but he still let Zheng Nishang marry someone else. It's no wonder Feng Weizhi would do everything against him.

Feng Weizhi opened his eyes, and looked at Zhou Jinyu with a begging look: "If Yuan Tianfang knows, I will expose his whereabouts, and he will definitely not let Nishang go."

Zhou Jinyu nodded: "Well, I see, I, Zhou Jinyu, always say what I say, and you know it."

Zhou Jinyu said: "Tell me, Yuan Tianfang, where is he?"

Feng Weizhi clenched his fists tightly, and finally said: "Eastern Suburb Imperial Tomb."

Zhou Jinyu learned of Yuan Tianfang's location, and immediately left the prison to find Yan Zhonghe.

After Yan Zhonghe learned that Yuan Tianfang might be a spy sent by the Western Regions, Dang even ordered five thousand elite soldiers and sent Yan Hao to capture Yuan Tianfang.

On the other hand, Zhou Jinyu found Zheng Nishang according to the location given by Feng Weizhi.

At this time, Zheng Nishang was living in a dilapidated farmhouse on Chang'an City East Street. In the yard, Zheng Nishang was laughing and playing with several children.

The children shouted one after another: "Sister Zheng...Sister Zheng...tell me another story."

"Please, Sister Zheng, tell me one more thing."

With a big belly, Zheng Nishang smiled softly: "Okay."

They sat around a table in the yard, and there were some snacks on the table. The children were dressed in shabby clothes. One of the youngest children reached out to steal a piece of snacks on the table.

Stopped by the older child, he patted the back of his hand, and said sensiblely: "Ah Yun, Sister Zheng has a baby in her stomach, and the baby hasn't eaten any snacks yet, so you are not allowed to eat either!"

The child named Ayun retracted his hand aggrievedly, and then swallowed.

Zheng Nishang said with a smile: "What's the matter, eat when you are hungry."

As she spoke, she gave the snacks on the table to the kid named Ayun.

She said to the other children: "You are hungry too, let's divide up quickly."

Seeing this, the other children finally stretched out their hands to the plate of snacks on the table together. Soon, the snacks on the table were swept away by the children.

While eating, they happily expressed their gratitude to Zheng Nishang: "Thank you sister Zheng, thank you sister Zheng!"

Zheng Nishang touched her stomach, smiling softly.

Zhou Jinyu suddenly felt that something seemed to be different.

Zheng Nishang's unruly and willful actions back then, it can be said that she was extremely bored.

In order to save the life of her brother who was captured by bandits, Zheng Nishang borrowed money from the Zhou family, using her marriage as a bargaining chip.

After her brother returned safely, she reneged on the engagement and came to Zhou's house to propose the dissolution of the engagement.

Since then, Zhou Jinyu has been very disgusted with Zheng Nishang.

Although she didn't care about this marriage, it was just that Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Liu agreed for her back then.

But Zheng Nishang's actions did make the Zhou family the laughing stock of the entire Chang'an city. Although Zhou Jinyu passively accepted this matter, she was involved in it and took the responsibility all the time. She felt that the Zhou family The shame in Chang'an City was all because of her marriage to Zheng Nishang, so she hated Zheng Nishang even more.

But right now, when the pregnant woman appeared in front of Zhou Jinyu in such a posture, she suddenly felt that apart from Zheng Nishang's breaking of the marriage contract with her at that time, there was nothing wrong with her. What a disgraceful thing you have done.

So many years have passed, and besides, it was all a matter of childhood, even if there is some grievance, it should disappear with the passage of time.

Zheng Nishang seemed to have sensed something suddenly, and looked in Zhou Jinyu's direction.

And Zhou Jinyu smiled at her, "It's been a long time, Princess Zheng."

Celebrating the Year of the Fish: [Second update]

Seeing Zhou Jinyu, Zheng Nishang was startled for a while, then stood up and bowed slightly to Zhou Jinyu: "The convict woman pays homage to Master Zhou."

Zhou Jinyu walked up to Zheng Nishang and the children. When the children saw an outsider coming, they ran out of the yard at a gallop under the leadership of the older child.

For a while, there were no children's laughter in the yard, and it suddenly became deserted.

Zhou Jinyu broke the silence first, and said, "You know everything about Feng Weizhi, right?"

Zheng Nishang nodded lightly, and said, "The criminal woman already knows."

Zhou Jinyu said: "I promised him to protect the lives of you and your unborn baby. I came today to pick you up."

Zheng Nishang paused, wondering what he thought of, and asked, "Will he definitely die?"

The corner of Zhou Jinyu's mouth was still smiling gently, and nodded: "Yeah."

Zheng Nishang suddenly looked at Zhou Jinyu, she begged in a low voice, her voice was hoarse: "Young Master Zhou, I beg you, can you let him go?"

She said, grabbing Zhou Jinyu's cuff: "Weizhi killed Mrs. Zhou, I know he is sorry for you, Mr. Zhou, if you are willing to let him go, the two of us, plus the child in my stomach , Do whatever you want, we will compensate you."

Zhou Jinyu pushed her arm away expressionlessly, just looked at her, and asked back: "Princess Zheng, ask yourself, put aside my personal grievances with him, and stand on the side of the people of the world, you say, Feng Weizhi, should he Damn?"

These words startled Zheng Nishang.

Zhou Jinyu said: "Think about it for yourself. When you figure it out, you can go to Zhou's house to find me."

Zheng Nishang nodded dully, and murmured: "Thank you Mr. Zhou, I understand."

Zhou Jinyu nodded and walked out the door.

When she went out, several soldiers surrounded her and raised their fists respectfully to her: "My lord."

Zhou Jinyu nodded, and said, "You will stay here for the past few days to protect this..." She paused, and thought of a title: "Protect this Mrs. Feng."

"Yes!" Several soldiers responded in unison.

Zhou Jinyu went back to the Zhou Mansion alone. Zhou Zimu was taking the land deeds brought back by Zhou Linger to check the ledger. Zhou Jinyu passed by the main hall and called out for his second brother.

Zhou Zimu raised his head from his busy schedule, and nodded to her.

Zhou Zimu asked with a smile, "Are you back?"

Zhou Jinyu responded and prepared to go back to his room.

Zhou Jinyu just took two steps, then stopped again, looked at Zhou Zimu who was busy again at the table, and said, "Second brother, if you are tired, take a rest, these things can't be finished in a while, Simply take your time, there is no rush."

Zhou Zimu raised his head, and said casually, "You're almost done, go and rest first."

Zhou Jinyu suddenly felt that since Auntie was gone, her second brother seemed to have become the head of the family overnight.

Zhou Zimu voluntarily resigned from his official position in the imperial court and started the business of the Zhou family. Now the rice shop of the Zhou family has temporarily opened in Chang'an City. After a while, the rest of the shops should open one after another.

Zhou Jinyu sighed in his heart. How could Zhou Zimu look like this in the past?

In the past, Zhou Zimu was a nerd who only had sage books in his mind, but now he can even yell at the newly recruited guys. For those who steal and cheat, they will be dismissed without saying a word. The guys are afraid of this cunning man. As the boss, he started to do things quickly.

Zhou Jinyu didn't feel much about this, after all, people will always grow.

Today, she is no longer the Zhou Jinyu who was full of anger and only thought of revenge. During the days when she lived with Wei Huanian in the valley, she had already lost all impetuousness under the influence of firewood, rice, oil and salt.

As for Zhou Zimu, the same is true.

On the second day, at [-]:[-] p.m., Feng Weizhi was dragged to the execution ground for execution.

The surrounding people all gritted their teeth in hatred for this traitor, and took out rotten vegetables and threw them on him.

Standing in the crowd, Zhou Jinyu looked at Feng Weizhi, who was covered in filth. At this moment, he no longer looked like the proud first son of the capital.

The execution officer glanced at the sky, and then shouted: "The time has come, execution!"

The knife in the executioner's hand was raised high, and Feng Weizhi's head rolled down on the execution platform in an instant.

Seeing this, the onlookers let out a burst of applause.

When the supervisor said that after hanging Feng Weizhi's body on the city wall and exposing it to the sun for ten days, the cheers of the people became even louder.

The people in the crowd were still angry, they were talking to each other, but Zhou Jinyu didn't want to listen any more.

Zhou Jinyu left silently from the crowd of onlookers.

Now that Feng Weizhi is dead, her mother Liu's revenge can be regarded as avenged.

That means that the grievances between her and Feng Weizhi have been settled from now on.

As for his unborn child, Zhou Jinyu didn't want to make things difficult, and she never thought of making things difficult.

After she returned to the Zhou family, she went to the Zhou family's ancestral hall. At this time, Liu's tablet was standing next to Zhou Gongfu's spiritual tablet.

Zhou Jinyu knelt inside for a while, and suddenly someone came to report that some military masters were in front of the house and wanted to see her.

Zhou Jinyu ordered those people to come to the main hall, and when Zhou Jinyu saw them, they were the ones she had left with Zheng Nishang.

The leading man bowed to Zhou Jinyu and said, "My lord, Mrs. Feng committed suicide after learning of Feng Weizhi's death."

Zhou Jinyu was startled, then nodded: "I see, but..."

She thought for a while, and then asked puzzled: "Didn't you tell her to be optimistic about her? How did she know the news of Feng Weizhi's beheading?"

The man paused, a little embarrassed, but finally said it out: "Miss Zhou Zhou told her... When the villain found out, Mrs. Feng had committed suicide by throwing herself into a well."

Zhou Jinyu was taken aback: "Sister Ling did it?"

The man said: "Yes, Miss Wednesday left after Mrs. Feng threw herself into the well. We didn't dare to let her come to the house, so we let her go back."

Zhou Jinyu waved his hand: "Okay, I understand, you still have to work hard to bury Mrs. Feng's body properly, and let it rest in peace."

The man immediately said: "Yes, the villain will do it now."

Regarding Zheng Nishang's death, Zhou Jinyu didn't want to go to Zhou Linger to talk about it because of it.

After all, she was already dead, and Zhou Ling'er wanted to avenge their mother, Liu Shi, and she knew it all along.

It's just that she didn't expect that Zhou Ling'er would attack Zheng Nishang.

In fact, she didn't believe that just a few words from Zhou Ling'er could inspire Zheng Nishang to throw himself into the well.

Therefore, Zheng Nishang must have had the idea of ​​suicide early in the morning.

Once Zheng Nishang died, the grievances between her and the Feng family completely disappeared with the death of the child in Zheng Nishang's womb who had the last blood of the Feng family.

That night, news came from Yan Zhonghe that it was not good for Yan Hao to arrest people. Zhou Jinyu was very surprised. He brought five thousand elite soldiers to arrest people, and even let Yuan Tianfang escape?

Is it because Yan Hao is unfavorable in his work, or is there something else hidden?

But she didn't have time to think about it, because soon, news came from the palace that Concubine Yang was afraid that she was about to give birth, and Zhou Jinyu was going to go into the palace as soon as possible.

The little eunuch spoke in a hurry, Zhou Jinyu said that he would go right away.

She didn't feel anything.

On the other hand, Zhou Zimu looked at Zhou Jinyu with some hesitation and asked, "Fourth Brother, Concubine Yang gave birth, why did you announce you into the palace?"

"Ah..." Zhou Jinyu really didn't know how to explain it, so he just said, "Perhaps Concubine Yang thinks I'm close."

Zhou Zimu was stunned for a moment, and said after deliberation: "Jinyu, you should know the difference between men and women. If this matter gets out, it may be inappropriate."

Zhou Jinyu thinks so too. At present, everyone in Chang'an City thinks she is a man. If she enters the palace and waits in front of Concubine Yang's palace to give birth, and spread the word, maybe what will happen.

But if she doesn't go, can that weak woman survive?

Besides, her superior answered her, saying that when she gave birth, she would go into the palace and guard her outside.

While Zhou Jinyu was hesitating, he heard the little eunuch say: "Master Zhou, follow the slaves. Don't worry about this matter, Mr. Zhou and the second young master. Concubine Yang has given orders. She and you are both family members, but in order to avoid suspicion Master Zhou followed the slave through the back door."

Zhou Jinyu saw that Concubine Yang had made all the arrangements, so she nodded and said, "Please, Eunuch, allow me to change into my clothes, and come as soon as I go."

The little eunuch saluted and said, "My lord, please go ahead."

After Zhou Jinyu changed his clothes, he entered the palace, followed the little eunuch through the back door, and came all the way to Concubine Yang's bedroom.

As soon as she entered the bedroom, she heard a painful groan from inside, and Concubine Yang shouted from inside: "It hurts! It hurts! Where is Zhou Jinyu, is Zhou Jinyu here yet!"

The maid inside replied: "Your Majesty, I have already sent someone to invite you. Your Majesty, if you hold on for a while, Master Zhou will be here soon!"

The voice of Mrs. Wen also came out: "Your Majesty, you are working harder, Your Majesty will come out soon! Your Majesty, please work harder! You must not faint, Your Majesty!"

Concubine Yang was still crying in pain: "I want to see Zhou Jinyu, go find him quickly! Go!"

Zhou Jinyu stood up and said to the inside: "Miss Concubine Yang, I'm here."

Zhou Jinyu's words were like a reassurance, and the noisy Concubine Yang calmed down instantly.

Zhou Jinyu heard that there was no movement inside, and thought that Concubine Yang had passed out, so she quickly asked, "Ma'am, are you okay?"

After a while, Concubine Yang's voice finally came again: "You are finally here, finally here..."

Zhou Jinyu said: "Yes, I'm here, please let your mother give birth with peace of mind."

Zhou Jinyu's words seemed to have an effect, and Concubine Yang seemed to gather all her strength.

After a while of confusion, with the sound of babies crying, the new emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty finally landed.

Concubine Yang said weakly to Po Wen: "Quick, give me a hug."

Wen Po held the child in her arms, a little stunned.

She hesitated, whether she should give the child to Concubine Yang.

After all, this newly born child, Wen Po has already confirmed that she is a girl, not at all the boy that everyone expects, who can reach the ninth fifth place.

Concubine Yang struggled and stretched out her hand to Po Wen, and said angrily, "Give him to me! Give me my emperor's son!"

Wen Po struggled, and finally handed over the infant child to Concubine Yang.

Zhou Jinyu was outside and didn't know what was going on inside.

"what……!"

Suddenly, Concubine Yang shouted from inside.

After a while, the little eunuch from Concubine Yang's palace came out, along with him, there were also palace maids and eunuchs.

The little eunuch said to the palace people: "It's none of your business here, you all should step back first."

The palace people all agreed: "Yes."

After all the palace people retreated, the little eunuch said to Zhou Jinyu again: "Master Zhou, Your Majesty let you in."

Zhou Jinyu was startled: "This...isn't right."

The little eunuch said coldly: "Don't worry, my lord, no one will reveal a word about what happened tonight."

Seeing that he couldn't push it away, Zhou Jinyu could only nod his head: "Okay then."

Celebrating the Year of the Fish: [Third watch]

Zhou Jinyu took a step forward and walked into Concubine Yang's bedroom alone, but the little eunuch did not follow.

There was a gauze curtain hanging in front of Concubine Yang's bed, and there was a nanny standing in front of the gauze curtain, who should be the midwife Wen, holding the newborn child in her hands.

Zhou Jinyu bowed to the woman behind the gauze curtain: "Zhou Jinyu is attending Concubine Yang."

Concubine Yang's weak voice came from inside: "Get up."

Zhou Jinyu stood up, but she heard Concubine Yang say, "Zhou Jinyu, I have no choice but to call you in."

Zhou Jinyu asked, "Ma'am, what happened?"

Concubine Yang was silent for a moment before she said: "The one born in this palace is a princess, not a prince. She is destined not to be qualified to be an emperor."

Zhou Jinyu was startled, and hurried to look at the baby in the hands of the Wen woman. When she walked in front of the baby, the baby's face was also wrinkled, as ugly as Wei Jingrui's when he was a child.

But when Zhou Jinyu looked at the child, she seemed to sense something, looked at Zhou Jinyu eagerly, and the corner of her mouth seemed to turn up.

Zhou Jinyu was amused by the child, she didn't believe that a newborn baby could laugh from birth, it was just a coincidence.

But because of this inexplicable coincidence, Zhou Jinyu suddenly became a little more happy with this child.

Maybe it was because of her unconscious, inadvertent, and coincidental sweet smile just now, which made Zhou Jinyu feel that this child was destined for him.

Zhou Jinyu suddenly had a thought in her mind, and she said to Concubine Yang behind the gauze curtain, "Who said she is not qualified to be an emperor?"

Concubine Yang paused and asked, "Master Zhou, what do you mean?"

Just as Zhou Jinyu was about to speak, she listened to Concubine Yang's order: "Mother Li, step back first."

Hearing this, Nanny Li left the palace with the child in her arms.

Concubine Yang said in a deep voice: "Master Zhou has something to say, just say it."

"Yes." Zhou Jinyu said.

"Nowadays everyone in the world knows that the Empress is about to give birth to the Son of Heaven. Therefore, whether this child is a princess or a prince, she will become the Son of Heaven."

Concubine Yang asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Zhou Jinyu said: "Although there has never been a precedent for a woman to be king since the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty, it is not impossible."

Concubine Yang was already weak, she never expected that Zhou Jinyu's answer was completely different from what she had originally thought!

"This! How is this possible!" Concubine Yang exclaimed.

Zhou Jinyu continued: "Ma'am, I haven't finished yet."

Concubine Yang's heart was hanging high.

Just listen to Zhou Jinyu continue: "Most of the royal family surnamed Wei have returned to the capital now, if they know that His Majesty is a woman today, they will definitely not let it go Your Highness dressed up as a man to deceive others."

Concubine Yang's dangling heart finally fell, she slowed down for a long time before she came back, and finally said: "Just do as you want."

Zhou Jinyu nodded. For now, this is the most effective way.

Zhou Jinyu thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Your Majesty, is the person in your palace just now reliable?"

Concubine Yang suddenly smiled coldly: "Master Zhou, don't worry, I have already sent Yang Fu to deal with it."

Zhou Jinyu was taken aback, Concubine Yang already sent someone to deal with those people?

This also means that Concubine Yang had already thought of the consequences just now, and she had already made a decision one step ahead of her.

Zhou Jinyu suddenly realized that the person in front of her who had always been submissive and cautious in front of outsiders, was she really what she appeared to be?

Yes, yes.

Now it seems that even she was deceived by her almost invisible acting skills.

Concubine Yang is not an easy person.

It's just that she has been deceived by her weak appearance.

Let me ask, how could a beloved concubine who was deeply loved by Emperor Tianyuan, a beloved concubine whose holy favor never faded, gain a foothold in the man-eating harem if she didn't have much skill?

If this is the case, then after Emperor Tianyuan was killed by the rebels, Yan Zhonghe would not care about the lives of other people, and only this "weak" concubine who survived was obviously because of her extraordinary skills.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jinyu felt a chill behind his back.

If this woman can't tolerate someone who knows her daughter's true identity, how can she tolerate her?

Now that the situation is unstable, everything is fine.

But after a day or two, when the new king succeeds, she will naturally become the current empress dowager. If she wants to kill her on that day, it is obviously too late for her to leave.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jinyu said to Concubine Yang: "Your Majesty, now that the new King of the Jin Dynasty has been born, I have nothing to do here. I came to see you today, and I will bid farewell to you by the way. The villain will return to hermitage soon. Mountain forest, go back and reunite with the princess."

Concubine Yang remained silent.

Zhou Jinyu didn't care about her answer, but saluted the woman behind the gauze curtain, and said in a loud voice, "The villain will leave."

Concubine Yang suddenly said urgently: "Lord Zhou, wait!"

Zhou Jinyu's eyelids twitched, and he bowed and said, "What else do you want me to tell you?"

Concubine Yang was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, and said slowly: "I have heard from the late emperor that you are extremely intelligent, and you are in a hurry to leave now because you are worried that this palace will kill you one day. Neither?"

Seeing Concubine Yang point it out, Zhou Jinyu stopped hiding and choking, and directly admitted: "Yes."

Concubine Yang said: "Actually, you don't have to worry about these things."

Zhou Jinyu didn't answer.

Concubine Yang continued: "Princess Yuanzhao is the child's real aunt. If you count it this way, you are her real uncle. Why don't you give her a name."

Zhou Jinyu had no choice but to respond. She thought for a while and said, "What do you think Wei Si is?"

Concubine Yang paused: "Wei Si? Wei Si...Wei Sihao." Concubine Yang smiled and said, "My emperor's son is called Wei Si."

Zhou Jinyu said: "If the empress has nothing else to do, the villain will step back first."

Zhou Jinyu turned around to leave, but Concubine Yang chased him out from the gauze tent.

"Master Zhou!"

Zhou Jinyu stopped and turned around.

At this moment, Concubine Yang's face was pale due to the fact that she had just given birth. She struggled to hold on to the frame beside her, panting heavily.

Zhou Jinyu couldn't help frowning: "Ma'am, what else can I order?"

"You don't have to worry, my health is not as good as before, and I can't live for a few years." Concubine Yang looked at Zhou Jinyu and said with difficulty: "Si'er is about to succeed to the throne, but the government is unstable at this time. The aristocratic families have different thoughts, and the hearts of the subjects are scattered. Even if Si'er becomes the emperor, she will be reduced to a puppet, and she may not live to the day when she takes charge."

Zhou Jinyu said: "How could it be? General Yan is still here."

She is reminding Concubine Yang in a disguised form that since she has reached a certain agreement with the Yan family, the Yan family army is like a knife in her hand. Even if Xinjun is young, their mother and daughter will naturally not be bullied go.

Concubine Yang shook her head, and said slowly: "General Yan's loyalty to the emperor, I can trust. But General Yan is already old, and the Yan family army will be handed over to Prince Yan sooner or later. This son, this palace asserts that within three years, if he occupies the position of the great general, he will definitely rebel!"

Zhou Jinyu deliberately hesitated and said, "I can't... I don't think Yan Shizi is a bad guy."

Concubine Yang could tell that Zhou Jinyu said that on purpose.

She didn't refute, but let go of the hand holding the frame, then slowly straightened up, folded her hands, and bowed heavily to Zhou Jinyu.

Zhou Jinyu was startled, and immediately returned the salute, saying, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do! You're such a villain!"

Concubine Yang said in a deep voice, "Master Zhou, please stay!"

Zhou Jinyu frowned. Obviously, Concubine Yang had already made up her mind that no matter what, she would keep herself.

But what about Wei Huanian, who is still in the valley now?

She clearly agreed to Wei Huanian, and when the matter was resolved, she would go home.

Zhou Jinyu was still hesitating.

Concubine Yang bowed heavily to Zhou Jinyu again: "Today, I implore Mr. Zhou to stay and take on the post of Grand Tutor, to help Si'er rule the world, and to help Dajin stabilize the country!"

Concubine Yang said so much, Zhou Jinyu had no choice but to agree.

In fact, after she agreed, she regretted it a little at first.

But later, she figured it out, Wei Huanian's willingness to let her go to Chang'an this time was only for the sake of the Jin Dynasty.

Her princess has always been a good girl who worries about the country and the people.

But Zhou Jinyu still made an agreement with Concubine Yang that when Wei Si succeeds to the throne and can govern the world independently, and when the court is clear, she will leave here and go back to the mountains.

Concubine Yang's reply to her was: "Ben Gong may not be here by then, Mr. Zhou can decide for himself."

Zhou Jinyu originally thought that this was Concubine Yang's words to reassure her, to show that Concubine Yang would definitely not kill her, so that she could help Wei Si with peace of mind.

However, when Wei Si grew up to be four years old, on the day when she lost her mother forever like herself, the day when the child nestled in her arms, crying with tears all over her face.

Zhou Jinyu suddenly realized that what Concubine Yang said to her that day was not a single lie.

Of course, that's another story...

Celebrating the Year of the Fish: [fourth update]

Zhou Jinyu stayed in the palace for several days.

Yan Zhonghe was also proclaimed into the palace, and together with the old prime minister Meng Changru, as well as the minister of the Ministry of Rites and officials of the Ministry of Rites, they discussed the matter of the succession of the new king.

After discussion by Qin Tianjian, the ninth day of December is an auspicious day.

On that day, Chang'an City, which had been snowed heavily for several days, finally cleared up.

After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, the official of ceremonies read out the imperial decree for the succession of the new king in the Jinluan Hall.

Concubine Yang, who is now Empress Dowager Ci'an, sits high on the phoenix chair under the dragon chair.

The new emperor, Wei Si, was still wrapped in Ming Huang's swaddling clothes. The new chief eunuch, Yang Fu, had originally made Wei Si lean upright on the back of the dragon chair.

But Wei Si was very dishonest, she twisted her body, and slowly slid down with the trend visible to Yang Fu's naked eyes.

Then, when all the officials bowed down, she suddenly burst into tears.

The baby's crying instantly resounded throughout the Golden Luan Hall.

All the officials looked at me and I looked at you, and they knelt on the ground in unison in an instant, continuing to shout long live.

So, our new little Majesty cried even more happily.

But the enthronement ceremony of the new monarch is still proceeding in an orderly manner.

Next, the old prime minister, Meng Changru, read out the imperial decree. Now Meng Changru has gray hair, and even his hand holding the imperial decree is trembling. Meng Changru is already old and has resigned from office for several years.

He has already retired and returned to his hometown, but under Zhou Jinyu's repeated pleas, he is still willing to come out of the mountain again to assist the new king.

With Meng Changru's coming out of the mountains, talented and virtuous people who had already lived in seclusion in the mountains because of Emperor Tianyuan's new policies also began to become officials and held important positions in the court.

Most of those people were disheartened people who were forced by Emperor Tianyuan's new policies back then. After discussing with Meng Changru, Zhou Jinyu decided to restore those people to their original posts, and those who were really talented were promoted.

But these courtiers who are willing to come back, no matter whether they are sincerely assisting the new king, or they want to obtain official positions, as far as it is concerned, they will soon become the humerus ministers of the new king's court in the early days. But rely on them.

Meng Changru stood in front of all the officials and began to read the imperial decree.

The new king succeeded to the throne, changed his year name to Qiyuan, pardoned the world, and reduced the tax for five years.

The post of General Yan Zhonghe was restored, and he was granted the title of Zhenshan King.

And Yan Hao, the son of Yan Zhonghe, was granted the title of General Zuo because of his meritorious service to the king.
