After Chen Tiezhu, who was depressed in his heart, found the catkins in the courtyard, he squatted as a tumbler for the two babies, and there was no silly smile on his face, and the catkins sneered: "Tiezhu, why haven't you seen you for a while, and now you have become silent?" ”

"Master, don't laugh at me, the eleventh master asked me to die, how can I laugh."

Liu Fu was slightly stunned: "Is there a misunderstanding?" "They talked about it secretly, Liu Wu didn't know, but in the past few years of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Yiyun was very fond of the two people who had made friends, how could people who have always cherished talents indiscriminately cut off people's lives, and this Chen Tiezhu still has very good skills.

Chen Tiezhu scratched his heart and lungs and said the order of the leader, and Liu Wu laughed when he heard it: "This is a good thing, the reward for pleasing the saint cannot be underestimated, have you forgotten the days when the poor in your camp couldn't open the pot before?" ”

"That's true, but I'm clumsy ......."

"There is a kind of person who may not be able to speak well but can also be appreciated, some of the powerful are not only eloquent but to see if he is an empty shelf, you are not good at talking, but you have the capital to show off, you have a few horses that can be compared, this is your strength, you don't need to say anything else to pick you to do it."

Chen Tiezhu tilted his head and thought about it, and stood up with the two babies: "I'm good at raising horses, but the master said that raising horses will not be a bit like that." ”

"Why did you enter the palace this time? For the sake of sacrificing horses, do you want to break something else besides horses? ”

"Hehe, I just said that the master is the most considerate, and the eleventh prince will not stop as soon as he opens his mouth, so what does the saint ask me, I will answer."

Liu Fu nodded in agreement with this tendon thinking, and it is also a good thing to say less and do less. "Daddy......" Ling'er trotted over, but saw a stranger hurriedly stepping back and saluting: "Ling'er didn't know that there were guests, so it was rude." ”

"Sister, come on, this is an iron pillar." Xiaoxiao pulled Ling'er forward to introduce this big friend.

Ling'er looked at Liu Wu, and refused to come forward, she knew that women could not show up lightly, which could have an impact on her reputation, Liu Wu took her little hand: "What's the matter, is there something wrong with Daddy?" ”

Ling'er handed the cotton handkerchief up, and said embarrassedly: "Ling'er saw that Daddy was not used to those women's vulgar things, so she sewed a cotton handkerchief for you by herself, I don't know if Daddy likes it?" ”

Although it is a cotton cloth but also used a lot of thought, the hook edge is flat and neat, the handkerchief is embroidered with a green bamboo, the embroidery skill at a young age is very good, Liu Wu praised: "Ling'er is really ingenious, Daddy will carry it with him in the future, and come to the main courtyard for dinner." ”

Ling'er shook her head: "There are guests in the house, it is inconvenient for Ling'er to come forward, Daddy, Ling'er will accompany you in the future, and retreat first." ”

was "brutalized" by this etiquette before she was ten years old, and she wanted her to be more extroverted, at least knowing the meaning of "friends" and girlfriends, and being able to hold up the sky alone, not to live with anyone, and look at the two babies who waved their fat claws goodbye, forget it, there are still these juniors.

Chen Tiezhu asked mysteriously: "Master, you still have a daughter, how old are you?" ”

Liu Wu was puzzled: "What? ”

"The eleventh master said that let me pay attention to whether there is a match, and he will marry me a daughter-in-law." He replied with a blushing face.

Liu Fu kicked up angrily: "Fuck, what do you think Ling'er is just over 9 years old." ”

Chen Tiezhu straightened his waist: "Hey, master, I don't want to say this, I'm only 25." ”

"You're really anxious, put away your messy thoughts, don't mention your age, just say that you dare to think about the granddaughter of the saint, you just wait to wash your neck and be chopped off."

Chen Tiezhu, who was making matters worse, lowered his head: "Didn't I think that I could be the daughter of you and the eleventh prince, and my temperament is like you two." ”

In all fairness, Liu Wu likes this two hundred and five, he has a good temperament and no bad intentions, and he is honest to people, but in addition to the theory that age is not a matter in ancient times, even if a small official wants to marry the granddaughter of the saint, even if he is not a concubine, it is even more difficult, not to mention anything else, Ling'er's mother can cut him, but it is not impossible, with Zhou Yiyun's thinking, what can't be done?

"Okay, don't sigh and feel sorry for yourself, go and get ready, aren't you going to pick up the bag with Wang Fan?"

Liu Fu grabbed back the two babies who wanted to follow: "Don't follow to make trouble, Tiezhu has something to do, don't let him be distracted." ”

*

After Zhou Yuhuang heard the report, he asked to see the emperor and grandson and returned, and he was disgusted with the old eleven for a while, he was not honest when he was locked up in the house, and he really didn't know what to do if he was looking for something and let a child take the lead, and the old ten who gave testimony suffered as soon as his mood changed, and Zhou Yuhuang made a face: "I really don't know how you usually make money in business, so I was persuaded by those words, and I was kind to the people who tied you up, have you ever thought that you were in danger of dying under the knife of others?" I really gave you the right name at the beginning, you really deserve the word "Ci", go down to the dormitory and raise it well, you can't go anywhere without my permission. ”

Zhou Yici, who was sent out by a paragraph, looked at the bag and looked straight at him: "Your imperial grandfather is not in a good mood, act carefully." "I didn't realize that this training was involved by his younger brother at all, Bao Bao looked at the background of the old ten, patted his head, is this a taboo?

Gonggong Li welcomed him into the main hall, and after the bag saluted, he directly explained his intention: "Grandpa Huang, in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the grandson was fortunate to see a wonder, I don't know the number of good horses galloping in the secret place, how can this treasure be enjoyed by one person, today the Eastern Zhou Camp will bring Wei Te a hundred good horses to the court, this person is waiting for your summons outside the palace." ”

"Oh? The generals of the Eastern Zhou battalion? Bring someone here. Zhou Yuhuang gave an order with a smile, which made the bag have some ideas.

Chen Tiezhu sat in the carriage with his hands and feet shaking, cold sweat was really flowing, the psychological advice he had just made, all collapsed after he arrived at the foot of the palace, and he talked about the old things with his bags, after he entered the palace to see the saint, Tiezhu was trembling in his heart again, and when the guards came out to bring people, he asked Wang Fan with weak hands and feet: "Now...... Now that I'm gone, what will happen? ”

Wang Fan resisted his big body: "Are you like this now, can you run?" Let's go in, the little master is fine. ”

Chen Tiezhu put on an unyielding posture of going to the guillotine, and met the severed head.

Bao Bao pouted and looked at Zhou Yuhuang, wanting to ask him to have a more relaxed expression, didn't he see that the iron pillar above the main hall was really sweating like a small river, I was really afraid that he would not be able to bear it and faint again, Chen Tiezhu was nervous, the saint didn't say anything according to his idea, shouldn't he ask him about raising horses? This is all off topic, and he doesn't dare to take it.

"You are the general of the Eastern Zhou Battalion, can you be guilty of leaving the camp without permission?" Zhou Yuhuang's first sentence was righteous and strict, and Chen Tiezhu's heart jumped twice, which ...... What's the matter, gently looking up at the bag and sending a secret message for help.

Bao Bao stepped forward to save the scene: "Grandpa Huang, Chen Tiezhu knew for the first time that he was a pilgrim who knew his authority, was open-minded, generous, and lenient, but he was afraid of majesty, and your reputation for Emperor Grandpa had to be slowed down first." First of all, he patted Zhou Yuhuang on the back, praised his integrity, fairness and tolerance, and secretly said that one thing is one thing, don't turn good intentions into bad things, Zhou Yuhuang looked at his good grandson, and he really had to be impressed if he didn't see him for a day: "Grandpa Huang, I also know a thing or two about this matter, I think that when my father was still the king of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, I didn't forget to forget that the goal would bring an accident to the Eastern Zhou camp, so when I left, I specially ordered Chen Jiangwei to march into Beijing after half a month and sacrifice the horse to the court." After saying this, Zhou Yuhuang can't refute it, at that time, Zhou Yiyun still had an official position, of course, he could transfer the personnel below, so Chen Tiezhu was not left without permission, and the old eleven was also well-intentioned and blessed to share, this must be pursued further, isn't it his own right and wrong?

Zhou Yuhuang was overjoyed, and he should really let Lao Eleven see the changes of this good grandson in the palace for a few days, what a smart brain, he was almost buried by him: "Your name is Chen Tiezhu?" ”

"Back to ...... It is the lower official who returns to the saint, not the minion. ”

"Where's the good horse?"

"Go back to the Holy One, no...... You can arrive in Beijing in less than a day. ”

"Go pick it up, bring it directly into the palace and let me also see the treasure that the emperor and grandson said, if you are familiar with this horse, I will leave it to you, so I can introduce it."

Chen Tiezhu, who was helped back to the Eleventh Prince's Mansion, poured a few mouthfuls of cold water and finally pressed the frightened heart back into place, and asked in hindsight: "Little master, isn't it right, didn't you reward me with officials and silver?" ”

Bao Bao put his arms around his neck: "Tie Zhu will leave a good impression on the imperial grandfather today, and when the horse enters the palace, you can give full play to your ability, will there be less rewards at that time?" ”

"Little master, you are really amazing, I am really thanks to you today, so what should I do now?" Chen Tiezhu praised sincerely, he was almost stunned in this situation today, if it wasn't for the help of the little master, there would really be no return, he seemed to have found a help to immediately take advantage of the victory to pursue and ask for a good solution.

Bao Bao patted his head: "Of course, take my father's token and go to the pass to meet the horse, I am not afraid that the time will be too early for fear that you will be said that you do not fulfill your responsibilities." ”

Chen Tiezhu was inspired and took a bite directly regardless of etiquette, and ran to the main room to ask for a token and officially take up his post.

Liu Wu walked out from behind the rockery and hugged the bag that came to him, this son now knows how to be low-key in front of people, and he is still as close to these relatives as ever and does not hide it, should he remind the bag, the most should be guarded against should be his imperial grandfather? If he is not 12 years old but 21 years old this year, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and I hope that Bao Bao's sincerity can continue that treatment, and Liu Wu also knows that Bao Bao gave the jade pendant to Zhou Yuhuang, is it really unusual for him to return it without accepting it? I don't know why the image of that person has been wandering in his mind, and it coincides with the martial arts general a few years ago, what does this person's attention to the Eleventh Prince's Mansion represent? Could it be that Zhou Yiyun is really expected to ascend to that position? Thinking about Zhou Yuhuang's suppression of Lao Eleven and negating this idea, maybe this attention is just because of their looks, love the house and Wu.

Bao Bao shook his hand to wipe his sweat: "Where did Daddy get the handkerchief?" Haven't you seen it? ”

"It's Ling'er who sewed it by hand, look at this handiwork, it's really good." The catkins showed him.

Bao Bao was not convinced: "I have to find my sister, she can't be partial, she has a father and forgets her brother." ”

As soon as someone started this matter, Ling'er was also busy for a few days, his father and younger brother came to ask for a piece, but it didn't take much effort, the key was that these people still had requirements, and the patterns were different in order to distinguish, and they were afraid that others would pick on them, so the master of each courtyard gave a copy to show filial piety, and Ling'er felt that he was busy every day and was also happy. Listen to her mother's precepts, Ling'er can also hear the meaning of the words when she is young, and she understands that her aunt is big-minded, but listening to her does not mean that she has to perform, she still has a father, brother and a few little brothers to rely on.

Chen Tiezhu stayed all night and finally entered the palace with a good horse, Zhou Yuhuang nodded appreciatively while looking, and Tiezhu saw that the opportunity to perform had come, and hurriedly stepped forward and proposed: "Shengshang, the slave is looking for a tame one, you can try it?" ”

Gonggong Li had a headache after hearing this, it was inappropriate to test the horse in the palace, and bluntly said that picking a good one is not sincere to make Zhou Yuhuang's face dull?

"Grandpa Huang, Tiezhu's proposal is very good, so that the civil and military officials present can see your majesty, that is, the scope of this palace cannot be fully demonstrated, it is better to choose a good one as Tiezhu said, the imperial grandfather will try to see if it is stable, and the grandchildren of the prince's mansion will be safe in the future."

Zhou Yuhuang nodded or what this grandson said was very heartfelt, and he heard that for the sake of the emperor's grandson, of course, he had to be a grandfather, and he was interested: "Gonggong Li, go and bring the saddle that the bag sent to me a few years ago, a good horse must be a good saddle." ”

Knowing that what he said was taboo, Chen Tiezhu shrank behind and did not want to come out, whispered a few words to him, and smiled at Gonggong Li to bring the saddle, and hurriedly took over the busy work Zhou Yuhuang got on the horse and led the horse, and introduced this excellent breed one by one, the usual key to the toughness is the carelessness of the big old man in the camp waiting for the horse, and the soldiers and generals were hungry and did not forget to leave a good mouth for these treasures and other great achievements, I just hope to be able to move the saint to ask for more benefits so that he can "return to the camp in fine clothes" Zhou Yuhuang also sighed about what he said, Emperor Tiangao himself couldn't take care of them, and he was humiliated and couldn't show up.

After the horses, the officials returned to their positions, and Emperor Zhou Yuhuang sat on the dragon chair: "I am very satisfied with the tribute, and I will reward Chen Jiangwei as the general of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and give ten thousand taels of gold, and those good horses will be used when hunting." ”

After Chen Tiezhu was smashed by the rewarded gold cake and knelt down in a daze, he stood aside and still thought about how to divide the gold, enough for those gentlemen to marry several daughters-in-law.

"The transformation of the Eastern Zhou camp has been so far, and the eleventh prince can be regarded as meritorious, so make up for it, and go to the court tomorrow to participate in political affairs."

"The minister has a matter to ask the Holy God to decide." When the prime minister of the court, He Bei, made an example: "The prince is getting older, and the minister thinks that he should also participate in the government politics for the sake of the saint, and even if he doesn't make any remarks while watching, it is an attitude." ”

Zhou Yuhuang glanced around and saw that no one refuted: "What the prime minister said is that I was negligent." ”

Looking at the prince, the most senior third prince did not speak, and the others also waited and watched the changes, as the saying goes, the donkey is the horse, and the horse always has to be pulled out for a walk, isn't it. After hearing the news, the queen of the main palace continued to select fabrics to make clothes for several imperial grandchildren; Empress Tong was overjoyed that her emperor could finally contact the regime; The three princes do not express any opinions, but only as if nothing happened; The sixth and seventh princes had a good look on the show, waiting for the prince and the eleventh to be in the same dynasty; The eighth prince was worried, what was the significance of his father's arrangement; The twelfth is really happy, and he can be an official in the same dynasty as his eleventh brother, Zhou Yiyun pouted and said to Liu Wu after listening to the report from the next person: "Just him?" I really don't care about it. ”

"Don't take it lightly, beware of the gutter capsizing." Liu Wu doesn't think that the crown prince of the dynasty is really so unbearable, even if he doesn't do anything, it doesn't mean that the people behind him have no ink.

"Master has his own way, stay on the iron pillar for a few more days, and it's not easy to come back."

On the second day, Zhou Yiyun returned to the court hall dressed neatly, and did not say a word after halftime, under the premise that the prince was talking about the river, it set off his transparent physique. Everyone was disappointed, and Zhou Yuhuang decided to talk about some exciting topics, so as not to be so dull, and took out a book of pleadings and said: "The person who captured the ten princes is still in prison, and Zhong Aiqing said how to deal with it?" ”

"Erchen thinks that this practice is guilty of contempt for the national prestige of the Great Zhou State, and he should set an example for the public." The prince continued to move forward bravely, not to be left behind.

Zhou Yiyun lived up to expectations and made an example to speak: "As the saying goes, there must be a reason for something, I don't know what the purpose of their trip is? After Emperor Zhou Yuhuang ordered Gonggong Li to read out the pleadings, Zhou Yiyun continued to confess: "The monarch of Shangrui is selfish and kills innocents indiscriminately, why should the Great Zhou Kingdom learn from the violence of others and kill them all?" Erchen thinks that it is better to secretly exile these people to a certain place, and rub their hatred for the use of our country, even if what they say is not true, after a few years or decades, the truth can be known. ”

He Zai said on the contrary: "They killed Shang Rui's envoys, the saint will make Shang Ruiguo dissatisfied, it is very likely that the army will meet each other, why let the Great Zhou Kingdom suffer a bloody storm because of more than a thousand people." ”

"Why do you need to be open? Prime Minister He, don't forget that this Shang Rui Kingdom is also a country of diplomatic relations on the surface, and the court and the Ministry of Rites are not dry meals, so you can find a reason to talk about things, such as killing people or missing their whereabouts, Shang Rui Guo has lost a few envoys, but didn't the ten princes of the Great Zhou Kingdom also suffer humiliation? It depends on whether they can distinguish the weight. Zhou Yiyun interrupted what he wanted to say: "Furthermore, as the prime minister said, killing more than 1,000 people to give Shang Ruiguo an explanation, so does it prove that the Great Zhou Kingdom is good and can be bullied?" Just for the sake of a statement, he beheaded people and reported his shortcomings to be praised by his country? The envoys of other countries did not enter the Great Zhou Kingdom and had an accident, and it is not the duty of our country to pursue it, but the karma of the Shang Rui Kingdom, the monarch of the Great Zhou State does not care about them to make the prince injured and cultivates them, to convince people with virtue, and to win the thousand-year record of people's grace and fruit, please think twice. ”

"What do you think, Prince?" Zhou Yuhuang asked the prince who had just finished speaking, and the people who had been active at the scene had closed their voices at the moment, which was not a good phenomenon.

"Back to his father, the sons think that what the prime minister said is very true, but the eleventh prince is also a good opinion, and it is difficult for the sons to make a conclusion, so please ask the father to decide."

"What about the others?" Zhou Yuhuang asked the military attache in the palace again, this is a difficult problem.

"Father, it's better to ask the tenth prince to talk about his views, he is a victim and should also express his opinions." Zhou Yiyun doesn't want to embarrass others, but he can't offend people anymore because he is a "guilty body".

Zhou Yici staggered into the main hall, and finally saw the old eleven who was worried about him in his heart, his eyes looked at each other, tears were in his eyes, and he almost said goodbye to life and death, Zhou Yiyun squeezed his eyebrows, and the old ten nodded and his heart was so connected, and he also said frankly about the things he discussed: "Father, they have lost their homeland, this is their biggest punishment, and the sons are now well, so as not to let thousands of people lose their lives, and this kind of killing is also afraid of losing their blessings, so it is better to settle them and use their spare strength to do their best for the Great Zhou Kingdom." ”

"The Ten Princes don't plan to pursue it, and I can't bear to cut off their back path, find a place to live and let them live, Shang Ruiguo is a matter of the Ministry of Rites, you deal with it yourself, what's wrong with it and then explain it to me. If you have nothing to do, just retreat. ”

A few days later, Nu Erqiu picked up the rest of the tribesmen, walked slowly along the remote path, and made a contract with Chen Tiezhu to drive to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty halfway.
