Chapter 776: The Prosperous Age of Qiankun (Finale)
There is always a day of calm in the turmoil, and the prosperity will come to an end.
An enthronement ceremony, in an instant, it was a matter of three months ago, a dragon chair in the imperial study, where the kings of the Great Zhou Dynasty sat to review the folds and deal with government affairs.
And now the owner of this study that symbolizes imperial power is Zhou Xianyu, who has ascended the throne and is called Qian.
Because since the death of Emperor Ming and the rebellion of the Xue family in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the turmoil in the court has not been completely stabilized.
During this period, although Zhou Xianrui worked hard, the front and harem were clear.
But in the end, his reign was too short, and he was in a coma in the later period, so this hidden danger has not been eliminated.
As for Zhou Xianchen, Emperor Wen, it was difficult for him to hold power during his reign.
Empress Dowager Chen's wife, under the bewitchment of Ji Lingfeng and Xiangping, focused on the power of the party and government in the court, and the country was even more shaky.
Therefore, after Zhou Xianyu, the Emperor Qian, sat on this dragon chair, he was born as a handsome general in the past, and he was originally a character who couldn't rub sand in his eyes.
Originally, those imperial court forces that were ready to move, and the restless local princes and vassal kings, either completely surrendered to the imperial court, or sent troops to suppress them directly.
After the death of Emperor Congming, all of them were about to become the vassal kings of the Tu Emperor, and those who were ambitious had already expanded their private troops and had the intention of rebelling against usurpation.
Therefore, when he saw that the person who ascended the throne was Zhou Xianyu, he knew that if the situation of the dynasty was stabilized and he raised troops to rebel in front of this former war king, I am afraid that there would be no chance of victory at all.
Therefore, several ambitious vassal kings directly united together to establish themselves as kings, and they were not dispatched by the imperial court.
Therefore, Zhou Xianyu ascended the throne for just three months, but he did not enjoy the treatment of being the emperor for one day, the only one in the world, and the admiration of ten thousand people.
Countless battle reports from the front all day long, he was busy with anxiety, and he stayed up all night for three or five days to discuss politics, which is a common thing.
And now the candlestick lit last night in the imperial study is still lit, and it is Zhou Xianyu, who has not slept all night, thinking of a strategy to break the enemy.
Even though the morning sun outside was pouring into the room, he still had no intention of stopping the rest meeting.
At this moment, the door of the imperial study was pushed open without notice, and Zhou Xianyu, who was disturbed, thought that it was the chamberlain who had come to advise him to rest again, and was just about to frown and kick people out.
But when he looked up, he saw Xiao Jinxuan, who was dressed in a phoenix robe and looked at him with a gentle smile, the impatient look on Zhou Xianyu's face disappeared in an instant.
Not only did he immediately reply to Xiao Jinxuan with an evil charm, without losing a gentle smile, but he also stood up in person and greeted him.
"Jinxuan only dawned early in the morning, why didn't you come over after sleeping more in the Heart Cultivation Palace. It's really hard for you to help me share too much in the affairs of the court these days, so go back and rest, otherwise I can't rest assured. ”
Seeing Xiao Jinxuan coming, Zhou Xianyu got up from the front of the bookcase, and the waiter who was waiting in front of the imperial study couldn't help but smile and said:
"It's still our queen mother, who can best lower Your Majesty. It's a shame that the mother is here, otherwise Your Majesty may have to work hard for a while, and then be willing to rest for a while. Now that the mother has brought breakfast, the servants will wait outside the hall, so they will not disturb Your Majesty and the mother. ”
Xiao Jinxuan now has the phoenix seal in her hand, and she is in charge of all matters in the harem, although she is resolute in many things.
But after getting along with each other for a long time, the palace people found that this queen was actually generous and extremely fair.
So in front of her, the maids and maids of the inner chamberlain slowly dared to laugh a few words, and after the chamberlain finished speaking, he immediately led everyone to retreat outside the study.
And after there was no one around, Zhou Xianyu's behavior became more intimate.
not only took Xiao Jinxuan's hand, but also kissed the other party on the cheek, and pulled the other party to sit down on the dragon chair.
As a queen, she is worthy of sitting on the dragon throne, only Zhou Xianyu, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, did this, and only Xiao Jinxuan had this grace and honor.
After all, the relationship between the two of them is far from being comparable to others, and in each other's eyes, the other party is even more important than their own lives.
They can carry it together when they are in trouble, and they will naturally enjoy it together when they are blessed.
After sitting firmly on the dragon chair, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but chuckle helplessly and said:
"I came here early in the morning, not because I was worried that you would be busy with state affairs and that you would not be able to eat well. After all, you didn't return to the Heart Cultivation Hall last night, and I'm afraid that if I don't come, no one will persuade you to rest. ”
After saying this, Xiao Jinxuan naturally took the fold in her hand, and while holding the pen instead of Zhou Xianyu to review it, she said:
"Go and eat the porridge on the table and the eight-treasure side dishes. Although I don't understand the military report and war, I can still help you review it. In addition, the affairs of the Xiao family in the Shuai Mansion have also been dealt with, and when we went to expose the identity of Yi'er's fake prince that day, the Xiao family army who stayed on the outskirts of Beijing really had the intention of rebellion. Xiao Yiming and Xiao Yijun had confessed to these things yesterday and were convicted. Thanks to your caution at that time, you dispatched the town ** regiment to secretly monitor and contain it, otherwise Zhou Yi would not have been able to ascend the throne before March. If Xiangping has the support of the Xiao family, a palace change is inevitable. ”
I was busy just now, and I drank a sip of hot porridge, only to realize that I was really hungry Zhou Xianyu.
He was eating the rice porridge boiled by Xiao Jinxuan himself, and when he heard about the affairs of the Xiao family in the Shuai Mansion, Zhou Xianyu couldn't help but put the bowl down, and said with some emotion:
"Marshal Xiao is a figure I have always admired, but I didn't expect that the older generation of the Xiao family would leave, and the descendants would be so uncompromising, and they would be guilty of disobedience. Jinxuan, after all, as the daughter of the Xiao family, you have been a relative of the people of the Shuai Mansion for several years. How to deal with this matter, you can get an idea. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan shook her head, and then said lightly:
"Xiao Yiming and Xiao Yijun, after learning that Zhou Yi was not the prince, knew that they had committed a big crime, and in order not to disgrace the prestige of the family, they hanged themselves in prison last night. After all, they are also my relatives, so they should be buried thickly. As for the Xiao family of the Shuai Mansion, according to the elders and young, Xiao Yihan, the third brother, will be in charge of the family in the future, as for the younger brother Yao, after all, he is still young, so let him experience in the military camp, and it is not too late to make arrangements for his achievements. ”
In military affairs, Zhou Xianyu has to handle it by himself, but Xiao Jinxuan is better at government affairs.
Therefore, in the matter of the previous dynasty, the other party came to control the bureau Zhou Xianyu was not worried, and the matter of the Xiao family in the Shuai Mansion was finished.
I saw Zhou Xianyu, who had also finished breakfast, and sat back on the dragon chair with a sad face.
In front of Xiao Jinxuan, Zhou Xianyu, who didn't have to hold the prince's shelf, and his true temperament was completely revealed, said helplessly:
"Actually, these government affairs shouldn't have been so bothered and consumed by Jinxuan. But that Meng Mian, who is so good, just has to resign from the post of prime minister, Xuan'er, do you tell me that I am such a stingy person. He supported Zhou Yi as emperor, but he was also blinded by his bravery. I, as the emperor, don't recommend this, but Meng Mian is not a bull. Now that the post of prime minister is vacant, there are many things for you to deal with. If you don't Jinxuan, you can help me persuade Meng Mian, I am really reluctant to lose this kind of pillar talent. ”
Xiao Jinxuan has a deep relationship with Meng Mian, after all, the other party's legs were still preserved by her back then.
But for this matter, Xiao Jinxuan did not mean to stay, but instead proposed:
"Meng Mian is indeed a talent, but his personality is not sleek and sophisticated, and the prime minister is the head of the most popular ministers, so he must have the ability to mobilize the entire court situation and play a role of checks and balances. Therefore, Meng Mian's character, there is no need to force him to stay, I have a lot of talents in Da Zhou, and there are not many of him. If you ask me to say that Guo Yi can take on this important responsibility as the prime minister, as for the six books that Guo Yi unloaded, you still remember being away from Beijing for a few years, your cousin Gu Qingping. His character and talent have just not been able to be displayed, and if he is recalled to Beijing, he will definitely become a pillar of the country. ”
On Zhou Yi's almost ascension to the throne, Meng Mian's paranoid side made Xiao Jinxuan very displeased and full of worries.
To a person with this kind of character, even if he is full of talent, he can mix in the officialdom, and sooner or later he will end up in ruin, and he will end up in a different place.
The other party can be said to be her old friend, and it is also Meng Liangjun's favorite person, since Meng Mian insists on resigning, she is also willing to fulfill it and will not be forced to stay.
Seeing that the court is on business, the scheduling of official positions has been discussed.
Zhou Xianyu suddenly pushed Xiao Jinxuan with his arm, and then hesitated, but still said with a concerned face:
"Meng Mian is still innocent, Jinxuan, you can forgive him. But what about Zhou Yi's child, you imprisoned people in the palace for life. Don't forget that he is the child of the Red Spirit, the Red Shadow died to save you, and the Red Shadow gave me his life. Both of us owe a lot to this child, Jinxuan counts me as a plea for him, don't be angry, it's good to let him go. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan, who was still calm just now, immediately said with a sense of pain on her face:
"That kid is not something I deliberately embarrassed him, Yi'er came to this world, and the first thing he ate was to drink my blood to survive. In my eyes, he is my biological child, but he failed to be the emperor, and you don't know that you curse you, complain about me, and even kill us. So Yi'er should be detained first, when he thinks about it and knows what he is wrong, it is not too late to release it. ”
It can be seen that Xiao Jinxuan showed a look of extreme disappointment on her face when she mentioned Zhou Yi.
Knowing that his beloved was really chilling this time, Zhou Xianyu didn't want to make Xiao Jinxuan unhappy, anyway, Zhou Yi couldn't be wronged if he lived in another palace, so he didn't mention this matter anymore.
Holding Xiao Jinxuan's hand, Zhou Xianyu, who wanted to put down the government affairs break, and even more so to change Xiao Jinxuan's mood, walked out of the imperial study.
He has not acted arbitrarily as an emperor for a long time, but he actually grabbed Xiao Jinxuan's waist, and moved lightly on the ground under his feet, and in the anxious exclamation of the palace maid, he jumped on the eaves and disappeared.
In fact, Zhou Xianyu brought Xiao Jinxuan to the gate of the Forbidden Palace in the past, where he would go whenever he had troubles.
At that time, his mother jumped down from the city gate, and every time Zhou Xianyu stood here, he could not only remember his mother, but also see the prosperity of the imperial capital of the Great Zhou.
And accompanied Xiao Jinxuan to stand here for a long time, talking and laughing, looking at each other's expressions was indeed a lot more soothing, Zhou Xianyu seemed to feel that his mood was relaxed.
Looking at this piece of ancestors and brothers, Zhou Xianyu stood on top of the imperial city, couldn't help but stare at Xiao Jinxuan affectionately, and asked domineeringly and softly:
"Xuan'er, I am willing to accompany me to paint a prosperous world."
Dressed in a phoenix robe, Xiao Jinxuan looked at the mountains and rivers with a smile, and said gently and indifferently:
"What you want, I will seek for you."
