On the morning of the second day, Jin Se was still sleeping, and Zhou Zimu got up early to prepare for the court.

"The princess is still sleeping, so don't disturb any of you. Let her sleep in peace. Zhou Zimu instructed February and Qiao'er.

"Yes!" The two maids should go down together.

Zhou Zimu had a simple breakfast, and then took a carriage to the palace.

He hadn't been to court for almost two months, and when he arrived. All eyes of the people in the hall were on him.

"Why did you come so early today and stay a little longer at home?" Friend Gu Fan winked at him.

"I've got something to do." Zhou Zimu didn't pay attention to Gu Fan.

He came to the three princes who were talking and saluted: "Three adults, long time no see." ”

"Didn't I just attend your wedding yesterday! The regent said when he had something. Xiang Taibao, one of the three princes, shouted arrogantly.

He was born in the army and made great achievements in his youth. Prince Chung, who is now guarding the border on the frontier, was under his command.

With a fiery personality, he is a straight man and speaks directly.

Zhou Zimu knew that his personality was not angry, he was polite and humbly said: "I want to rest for a few days." ”

"Rest? That's not going to work! Yang Nanren, the Taifu of the Three Princes, shook his head frequently when he heard the word leave. He was the emperor's teacher, who had been the teacher of the regent Zhou Zimu, and was the oldest and laziest of the three dukes.

Because the princess disappeared from the wedding, the regent went to find the princess immediately after going to the disaster relief.

The heavy responsibility of tutoring the little emperor fell on the third prince, and Mrs. Yang, who had not worked for a long time, was ordered to take over the task of teaching. This forced Yang Nanren, who originally wanted to be lazy, to work. The auxiliary ministers appointed by the first emperor, except for the regent Zhou Zimu, are the three ministers of the three dukes.

Mrs. Yang still wants to live a comfortable life at home. I didn't think about it, I didn't live it.

"Your Royal Highness, you are responsible for your family and country. How can you rest easily, you can't do it. Mrs. Yang sighed and persuaded bitterly.

As the last of the three dukes, Su Taishi is the head of the Su family. He came to play the round: "The regent must have his reasons for resting. We'll give him a chance. ”

The Three Dukes and the Regent were both auxiliary ministers appointed by the Emperor before his death. On weekdays, Zhou Zimu knew that the three old ministers had worked hard and made great achievements, and he respected the three ministers very much.

But now it's about whether he can take a break smoothly, and he has to fight for it.

He also wanted to say something, the time for the Great Pilgrimage Meeting had come.

All the officials stood in the main hall in order according to their ranks, and Zhou Zimu stood at the front of the line.

"If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat!" The palace man in charge of the court meeting announced loudly.

Usually at this time, officials who have important things to tell will stand up. After the excerpts were played, the officials discussed together, and the little emperor made the final decision with the help of the third prince and the regent.

There was nothing big about it today, so I could have retired from the dynasty as soon as possible.

The regent Zhou Zimu stood up: "The minister has something to do." ”

Hearing his sonorous voice, the three princes exchanged glances with each other. The regent is preparing to speak openly about Hugh Mu in the court.

"Uncle Wang, what's the matter?" The little emperor Zhou Yubai sat on the throne, his expression was serious, although he was a child, he was mature like a little adult. Above the court, he is the king of Tianyao Kingdom, and he is the little emperor that everyone fears.

"I want to take a week off." Zhou Zimu said directly.

Originally, this was just a trivial matter, and it was okay for officials to take a leave of absence when they were sick.

But Zhou Zimu, as the regent, has not been in the court for almost two months to deal with official business. Now that he is going to rest again, Yang Taibo jumped out against it for the first time.

He must stop the regent from Xiu Mu, otherwise he, an old bone palace, will have to be torn back and forth in and out of the palace. He still wants to live a few more years.

"The regent has a heavy official business, how can he say that he will rest. You are the pillar of our Tianyao country and a model for officials, and you want to make a good start for all officials. Mrs. Yang touched his white beard and taught earnestly. He was originally Zhou Zimu's teacher, and it stands to reason that Zhou Zimu should listen to what he says. But Zhou Zimu didn't agree.

"This king will not delay his official business, but he just wants to rest at home. I hope the little emperor agrees. "Zhou Zimu doesn't let go, he just wants to rest.

Xiang Taibao shouted loudly: "Regent, you have to rest when you open your mouth, and you must give us a reason." If everyone is like you, then what is the point of this great court? "He was already in good shape, he was getting stronger and stronger, and he spoke louder than the average person.

"This king and the princess have just gotten married, and I want to take the princess out to play." The reason why Zhou Zimu wanted to rest stunned everyone.

For the sake of the princess's rest, the regent didn't even want to participate in the court meeting.

"And for good reason." Master Su responded with a smile.

"No!"

"Ridiculous!"

Yang Taibo and Xiang Taibao both expressed their opposition, and only the good old man Su Taishi agreed.

Since the three dukes disagreed, only the little emperor made the final decision.

The little emperor knew that things were not so simple, and as an emperor, he couldn't casually agree to Uncle Wang's request, otherwise other officials would learn from Uncle Wang to come to the court to ask for a rest.

"Since the three dukes don't agree on anything, come up with a method approved by the regent." The little emperor Zhou Zimu is based on the principle of fairness, and the two do not help each other, "Uncle Wang also gave the third prince a reason to convince them." ”

"It is not right that we officials only have bereavement leave, not marriage leave. I think that marriage leave should be introduced in order for officials to handle affairs better. Zhou Zimu's reason is very simple, he just wants to take marriage leave, and if there is no condition to create conditions, he will also take marriage leave, "Giving leave when officials get married is not only to protect the rights and interests of officials, but also to mobilize the enthusiasm of officials." ”

Marriage leave?

Xiang Taibao thought about it and agreed: "It's a good thing for me. ”

"But Your Royal Highness the Regent, you haven't been to the court for nearly two months before your wedding, haven't you been on the court for so long, aren't you enough to take a break for so long?" Yang Taibo was determined not to let Zhou Zimu rest.

"In my opinion, it is better to find another thing for the regent, so that he will not be so busy." Su Taishi smiled and made a new suggestion, "How about sending the regent to the Yuelan Kingdom?" ”

This proposal is still towards Zhou Zimu.

Yuelan Kingdom sent envoys to Tianyao Kingdom very early, but Tianyao Kingdom has always sent envoys. And King Yuelan will soon celebrate his twenty-second birthday. Just took this opportunity to congratulate King Yuelan on his birthday and sent an envoy from Tianyao Kingdom.

Sending Yuelan is also an opportunity for Zhou Zimu, and he has not yet gone out of Tianyao Kingdom to see.

"That's a good proposal, what do you think, Uncle Wang?" The little emperor asked Zhou Zimu's opinion.

"I'm fine." Zhou Zimu agreed to send an envoy to Yuelan Kingdom.

It's a pity that he didn't get Xiu Mu, but the work of envoy Yuelan also allowed him to spend a few more days with Jin Se.

After all, going to another country for such a big thing is not just a matter of leaving.
