Liu Wu's cannon once again exploded out of popularity, not in the people but among the prince and civil and military officials, re-refreshing his existence, from the day Zhou Yiyun returned to the house kissing and hugging him, saying sweet words and promises, Liu Wu knew that he was famous again. "If you don't make a sound, it's just a blockbuster" hat was buckled on his head again, as soon as the door of the house was opened, there was an endless stream of posts, Liu Wu was promoted to the protagonist, he didn't change his previous style before it was a foregone conclusion, and he declared that he was sick and closed down and went out of the hospital, and continued to be low-key, he didn't want to be hooked up with three or four of the praise, and disappeared among his friends.
Zhou Yuhuang bombarded another cannon above the court, ordered the ministers to elect the prince candidate, and acted so quickly that he did not make sufficient preparations for everyone, and when they were uncertain, Zhou Yuhuang directly announced the general, which was really caught off guard, just when everyone's chaotic "eyes" were flying, Gonggong Li whispered a few words to Zhou Yuhuang, and ordered loudly: "Spread quickly!" โ
Everyone was shocked, Zhou Zhong wore the old prime minister's uniform of three generations, wrapped a leather whip around his waist, and walked into the court: "Slave Zhou Zhong visited the saint, I wanted to wait only in the main hall, but I didn't want the guards to bring the slave here, if you are offended, please give the saint a sin." โ
"The old prime minister, hurry up."
Gonggong Li looked at the thing on his waist, and when he was busy kneeling down to worship everyone, he heard him say: "The leather whip is given by the Supreme Emperor, and seeing the whip is like seeing the Supreme Emperor." It's no wonder that these courtiers don't understand the mystery, when Zhou Zhong withdrew from the court, how could there be a few old ministers, this token is just heard, and it is the first time to see it with his own eyes, Zhou Zhong said respectfully to the people kneeling: "It's all the things of the older generation, it doesn't matter, the slaves are just used to wearing all the ornaments." "Whether this is true or not, it remains to be discussed, just say that there is no will of Emperor Zhou Yuhuang, how can he enter the palace with no official position, sweeping to Zhou Yiyun, who is not shocked on the surface, everyone suddenly has a good plan, and he really wronged the old eleven, he is surging in his heart at the moment, and he has not heard that the loyal old man wants to enter the palace before the court, is this considered a gang?
"Old Prime Minister, you are a third-generation veteran, with your knowledge, can you be a candidate for the crown prince?"
"According to the old slave's view, the eleventh prince deserves it, this son is rich and noble, intelligent, outstanding, benevolent and filial, and subtle in civil and military affairs. When I was young, there were many disasters, but there was no hindrance, everything was fulfilled, my ambition was better, I had a good wife in the house, and I had three sons, and I had a high life. The refining of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, although it is a border, is well organized, regardless of the size of the country, it can be seen that the eleventh prince has great wisdom. โ
Listening to Zhou Zhong's praise, Zhou Yiyun was dumbfounded, and he didn't know that he really didn't know that he had so many advantages, and he praised this kind of nonsense, he couldn't help but say it, and hurriedly stepped forward to buckle his head to Zhou Yuhuang: "If Erchen is fortunate enough to get this position, he will do his best and die." โ
Zhou Zhong listened to what he said, the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally, the saint had not yet expressed his position, it was too early to recommend himself so early, Zhou Yuhuang coughed lightly and asked everyone in the court: "What do you think?" โ
"The sons recommend the eleventh prince." The four princes came out to protect the eleventh, and then the seventh, ninth, and twelfth all stood on the side of the eleventh, Zhou Yiyun was moved, it was really difficult to see the truth, what is the usual noisy and noisy, and the true feelings can be seen at the critical moment. In addition to Zhou Yiyun, the seven princes present in the hall, four of them all helped the eleventh, and there was a three-generation old prime minister who could not be underestimated and the supreme emperor on his waist gave him a leather whip, and if there was anything he didn't understand, the ministers knelt down and bowed: "The ministers are willing to recommend the eleventh prince as the crown prince." โ
Zhou Yuhuang pondered for a while and shook his head: "No, although the eleventh prince is qualified to enjoy the name of the crown prince, his mother's status is not high, which is unreasonable." โ
"Saintly, since ancient times, there has been a saying that a mother is more precious than a child." Zhou Zhong immediately made suggestions to help Zhou Yuhuang share his worries.
"What the old prime minister said is that the mother of the eleventh prince is also my first lost concubine, and I am also guilty to this day," the spirit is lonely and depressed: "That's it, her emperor has the ability, and she is also indispensable, and the order is given to the eleventh prince and the mother concubine as the queen, and her prince as the prince." โ
"Holy Wisdom!"
Zhou Yiyun is incredulous, suspicious, and will doubt that this is the prince? It's so simple, and the speed becomes the prince? This is really fantastical and nonsense, but he really became the prince, and his mother became the queen. Zhou Zhong touched his arm, and Zhou Yiyun remembered that there was another procedure: "Emperor Xie gave his mother the throne, and Emperor Xie handed over this great responsibility to his sons...... Everyone was still waiting for his follow-up, but they didn't want to see this freshly baked prince, who actually wiped his tears in the court, and Zhou Yuhuang also wet his eyes, this child is not easy.
After Bao Bao heard the news, he immediately called out the two younger brothers, he took the life, Bu Bu carried Zhou An, smiled and resisted Zhou Guo hurriedly tried to report the good news to his father as soon as possible, and at this moment Liu Wu was listening to Ruyan, peach leaves, Yuqing, and Xiaoya gossiping in the backyard, Ling'er put down the needle and thread in his hand, and asked with concern: "Daddy, what's wrong with you, you are in a trance all morning." โ
"Yes, master, are you uncomfortable?"
Liu Fu shook his head: "I haven't seen the figure of the loyal old man since breakfast, and I am worried about it." โ
"Master, the loyal elder has always come and gone freely, and you don't interfere with his whereabouts, why do you care about this today?" Peach Leaf sat next to him, looking at the catkins frowning, and also uneasy.
"Elder Zhong has been unwell recently, he is so old, what should I do if I am sick outside."
Xiao Ya persuaded: "Master, don't worry, isn't Wang Fan always protecting you?" Is there anything you don't know? โ
"Daddy......" Several children rushed in sweating profusely, ecstatic, laughing until they couldn't see their teeth.
Liu Fu hugged Zhou Guo and Zhou An from his son's back and helped them wipe the sweat on their foreheads: "You're going to school so soon?" Where is this running to the madness? Look at the two eldest grandsons who are hot. โ
"Daddy," Bao Bao stepped forward to hug the catkins, and suddenly choked up in the middle of his words.
Catkins ran down his back: "What's the matter?" Why didn't your father come back with him? โ
"Daddy, my father became the prince."
"What?" Liu Fu straightened the son in his arms and asked in surprise: "Baobao, you said that your father became the prince?" โ
"Well, that's what the teacher said." Bao Bao looked at Liu Wu's face: "Daddy, what's wrong?" โ
"No, Daddy just didn't expect it to be so soon."
Smiled and tugged at the sleeves of the catkins: "Daddy, we are all crazy with joy, why are you not happy?" โ
Liu Wu said nonchalantly: "Joy and anger are invisible, understand? Look at what you guys are showing off like this," laughed after watching a few children try to put on their little faces: "Good thing, hahaha, that guy really became the prince, hahaha." โ
The people in the backyard who returned to God were also overjoyed: "Congratulations to the master." โ
"Okay, go and tell the cook to add vegetables at night, let's celebrate first." The children looked at him with joy, and this was more completely exposed.
"Master, this is a great joy that you should reward all the people of the province." Momoba said the rules on the side.
"Really?" Liu Fu suppressed the joy in his heart and raised his hand: "Yes, for the peach leaves, you go to the tent and pay some silver." โ
The eleventh prince's mansion was busy with joy, and he didn't want Li Jin to return in the afternoon, so the prince stayed in the palace today. Liu Wu's eyebrows fluttered and waved at everyone: "It's okay, today is a good day, let's be happy." โ
*
In the main hall, Emperor Zhou Yuhuang rolled his eyes twice at the kneeling eleven, and said: "I have never heard of something that is embarrassing in history, and it has flooded the court after being canonized as the crown prince." โ
"Erchen didn't expect to get the approval of his father, not only crowned the crown prince, but also mentioned the position of the mother's concubine, son...... Erchen didn't hold back. โ
Zhou Yuhuang looked at the slightly swollen eyes, and also felt funny: "If you have a name, you must have a responsibility, seek your own government in your position, do your duty, and summon some old ministers to hold a banquet in the palace to celebrate with you?" "This son has brains and some skills, but the foundation is still shallow, except for a few princes in the court, how can there be a few people who speak to him.
"Thank you for your father's good intentions, but Erchen doesn't plan to borrow your hand to get the approval of others, even if the superficial respectful foundation is too shallow, it can't withstand the wind and waves, and when he doesn't agree with him in the day, it can collapse instantly, Erchen wants to make real moves, do practical things, and see practical results Let them agree that Erchen's name as the prince is well deserved."
Hearing him say this, Zhou Yuhuang raised his eyebrows and wrote lightly: "What are you going to do?" Lao Eleven looked at his father with a smile and moved his knees, implying that he was still kneeling and couldn't talk well, Zhou Yuhuang gave him a big look: "Get up!" โ
"Thank you, Father." Zhou Yiyun got up and moved his legs slightly, and secretly scolded that the ground was too hard, Zhou Yuhuang coughed twice, and hurriedly stepped forward to answer the question: "The father and the emperor set up the prince this time, and did not establish the head of the ministers to develop the virtuous word, you have always been strict and economical, and the sons and daughters also continue to inherit and lead by example, in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the sons and daughters were fortunate to participate in the development of production, and the light and thin endowment also made the people's lives betterTogether. โ
"Well, it seems that the trip to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty has really gained some knowledge, so if you have an idea, do it." Zhou Yiyun lightly touched the desktop with his fingertips and asked with a smile: "The power of the artillery is really eye-opening, and I plan to install one at each pass, but is this a production program......?"
"Father, you also know that this artillery was developed by Liu Fu, but he also participated in it in the later stage, Li Jin and Wang Fan in the palace have been following up, and the production process is also clear, and the son is willing to lend two people to help his father share his worries."
"Knock" knocked on the table: "This is the business of the Ministry of War." โ
"Don't dare to deceive my father, those officials and ministers in the military department are not familiar with ......"
Zhou Yuhuang thought to himself: If the original team is not familiar with it, they will insert their own people into it, and the manufacturing method will not be exposed, and those old ministers will really not be able to take advantage.
"Third child, aren't you familiar with it either?"
Zhou Yiyun put on a grievance that was obviously inconsistent with his current age, if it wasn't for his baby face, others would definitely laugh: "You also know that the third emperor brother always has a straight face, and Erchen was afraid of him when he was a child, but the third brother's grandson Erchen likes it, and he has a good relationship with them." โ
Zhou Yuhuang was a little angry, he didn't have a good relationship with his brothers, and wanted to use the next generation to involve each other, Zhou Yuhuang laughed in a low voice, this son is becoming more and more invisible, but he has always had a way to the eleventh: "Just do what you say, I want to ask you that you are now the crown prince, so the candidate for the crown princess?" โ
Zhou Yiyun didn't know, so he asked stupidly: "Except for the wife of the son-in-law, who is still qualified to be the crown princess." Zhou Yiyun suddenly realized: "Father, you can't take the name that belongs to him just because he is a brother." โ
"I'm also embarrassed, this Great Zhou Dynasty has been around for hundreds of years, but no brother has a big position in the harem." Zhou Yuhuang spread his hands and was also helpless.
Zhou Yiyun raised his voice: "Then the father will set a precedent for his son, how much he has suffered for his son, he deserves this name, why did he erase it all because he was a brother?" โ
"Alas, I understand what you say, but this is a ...... of all mouths."
"Son, I sincerely ask my father to tell the world all the merits of the catkins." Zhou Yiyun didn't care about the pain in his knees, and knelt straight and begged.
"With this edict, you've gone a lot for your past achievements."
"Erchen, I'd rather not be this prince than correct the name of the catkins."
"Do you really want to go down?" Zhou Yuhuang took advantage of the victory to pursue.
"Please ask your father to fulfill it, and the sons and daughters will be responsible for the consequences."
Zhou Yuhuang nodded with satisfaction: "I see that your husband and wife are deeply affectionate, and I am also moved, I will help you do this, the name of this princess must let him sit firmly," beckoned to the side, Gonggong Li handed over the booklet in his hand to the eleventh, and Zhou Yuhuang glanced at him: "Take a look." โ
Lao Shiyi first thanked Emperor Zhou Yuhuang for fighting for the fame of Liu Wu, and then took the booklet and looked through a few pages dumbfounded, which were full of records of the manufacturing costs of โกโก, telescopes, gunpowder and the latest artillery.
"Father, this ......"
"It's a good thing that you have the results to hand them over to the court, and I have also increased my efforts to expand, but the treasury is empty, and I remember that it is all the expenses made for the first time, which you have already used, and I can't pay for you with this silver, let others say that I am biased, which is a big deal."
Zhou Yiyun wanted to cry again, and pleaded: "Father, the sons have always eaten the court," after thinking about it, he added some evidence to prove that he was poor: "I was fined by you for three years in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and this time it is tens of thousands of taels, how can the sons have so much silver." โ
Zhou Yuhuang didn't care: "Didn't your wife run a restaurant with Lao Shi?" โ
"Doesn't Erchen still owe the tenth brother silver? Liu Wu wrote some recipes to pay off the silver," and finally reiterated: "I really don't have any money." โ
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, you can't pay off your son, there will always be a day when your children and grandchildren will pay it off, Gonggong Li will write a note for the prince to draw a charge, make a good handprint, I will consider praising your daughter-in-law's merits, and I have to arrange the worship of the ancestors," Zhou Yuhuang took the written IOU and asked: "Gonggong Li went to see the days so that the prince could move into the palace." After speaking, he raised the strip in his hand, Zhou Yiyun hurriedly stepped forward to take the slip and press the handprint, if this premise is not done well, how can there be a follow-up.
