With Zhou Suojie's words, Zhong Shuyu was relieved, and when he met the emperor for the second time, he took out a calm and relaxed posture, which caused the surrounding officials to frequently look sideways, and they all praised the women in their hearts.

After the last dynasty, Emperor Zhao asked about the case according to the usual practice, and then wantonly sealed the people who had meritorious service when Xirong raised troops to attack.

The list in front of them is what kind of generals, Zhong Zhiyu is a little unfamiliar with these names, but he knows that it is not their Zhong Jiajun, and after this round of rewards is over, Emperor Zhao slowly called out her name.

"Where is Zhong Zhuyu?"

Only then did Zhong Zhuyu bow his head respectfully from outside the hall: "The people's daughter Zhong Zhuyu has seen the emperor." ”

The voice is stable, neither humble nor arrogant.

Emperor Zhao looked at Zhong Zhuyu who was kneeling below, and a smile flashed quietly in his eyes.

I haven't seen you for a few years, but I'm much more stable in the end.

So he was even more satisfied in his heart, and even raised a lot of voices: "This Miss Zhong must have heard of Aiqing, she is the only daughter of the former King of Zhenbei." ”

Although everyone knows it in their hearts, but the emperor is like this, the people below still show a look of sudden realization: "It was the only daughter of the king of Zhenbei, and when the minister saw this girl, he felt that there was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows and eyes." ”

Zhang Guanhai, the prime minister who was the leader, glanced at the person who spoke with his spare eyes, spat a mouthful of sycophants in his heart, and then glanced at Liu Zhiyin and remained silent.

Emperor Zhao: "Miss Zhong has repeatedly performed miraculous feats in the battle of Xirong this time, I think I should be rewarded, what do you think Aiqing should reward?" ”

An official dressed in a black robe walked out of the queue: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that he can follow the example of the county lord of Yaoling and restore his position as the county lord." ”

The emperor nodded, but did not say anything.

Another official also walked out of the queue: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that you should add 100 acres of fertile land, ten shops, and a few silk and satin horses to show your favor." ”

Zhong Zhiyu knelt on the hall so straight, and there was no fluctuation on his face after listening to these two Rao's proposals, and Emperor Zhao saw that she didn't love these, so he didn't say anything, but just looked at Zhou Suojie.

So Zhou Suojie also took a step forward: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that Miss Zhong's merits, if they are placed on a man, it is also a general from the second rank, and the rewards of Lord Shicai Wang and Lord Lan are a little light." ”

"Zhou Aiqing's reasonableness. Since the function of writing Yuli can be ranked from the second grade, and there is no precedent for a woman to be an official in this dynasty......" Emperor Zhao pretended to ponder for a while, and then mentioned as if unintentionally: "Isn't there still a vacancy for the prince's side concubine?" It happens to be a second-grade position, how about I give a good marriage to Yu? ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.

Zhang Guanhai and Liu Zhiyin set off a storm in their hearts, and they were not on the main hall, constantly glancing at Emperor Zhao.

That's unacceptable!

Zhong Zhuyu was also stunned, raised his head and resolutely refused: "Emperor Xie is kind, but Zhuyu has made a private agreement with someone for life." ”

Emperor Zhao leisurely stopped with his rhythmic fingers, his brows furrowed, and the unhappiness that his plan had been interrupted rose in his heart: "Oh? Who is the other party? ”

"Back to the emperor, it is Qin Bairui, the son of the first hussar general Qin Yizhong."

When Zhang Guanhai heard this, he hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Zhong family and the Qin family are world friends, and they are really a good match!" ”

Emperor Zhao glanced at Zhang Guanhai coldly, still unwilling: "This Qin Bai Ruizhen has also heard of it, and it is an overwhelmed ......."

Zhong Shuyu pursed his lips and tried to suppress the anger in his heart: "Back to the emperor, the people think he is good." ”

"But marriage is a big matter, how can you have your children make their own decisions, now that your father is gone, I am like brothers with him, and I naturally have the responsibility to find a good family for you." Emperor Zhao was stunned, probably thinking that his tone was a little tough, and explained the benefits to her: "The crown princess is a good person to get along with, and when the crown prince succeeds to the throne after a hundred years, you will be the concubine of the entire Dayu, the glory and wealth are endless, and your life is worry-free, what do you have to hesitate about?" ”

I don't know if the prince will live until then.

Zhong Zhuyu sneered in his heart, and his face became even colder: "Back to the emperor, my father and Uncle Qin have long known about this family matter, and when I went to visit the military camp for the first time after Shuyu returned from Beiyi, Uncle Qin had already proposed to my father. ”

They're all gone anyway, so whatever you want.

Zhang Guanhai hurriedly agreed, and said jokingly: "Your Majesty, Yongnian has already planned for his daughter, which round we have to worry about, let's forget about this marriage." ”

Liu Zhiyin also took a step forward: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that since Miss Zhong is unwilling, don't be reluctant, it's better to honestly give people an official according to the rating, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public." ”

Emperor Zhao was unhappy in his heart, and his face turned dark: "But there is no precedent for a woman to be an official!" ”

"If there is no precedent, let's set a precedent!" Liu Zhiyin was not stunned at all, and even smiled: "Miss Zhong is a rare general, no, if Miss Zhong didn't enter the enemy army alone and snatched the artillery, I don't know how many losses I have to cause, and this is not just courage is feasible, you have to be brave and resourceful and can calculate the psychology of the enemy, this, which general present dares to compare himself to Miss Zhong?" ”

Some generals clenched their fists and wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, if they were in that situation, they were afraid that they would not be able to do that, so they lowered their heads and remained silent.

Liu Zhiyin turned around and glanced at it, satisfied with the interest of these generals, so he continued: "Is it rare for the emperor to give up such a talent because of his gender? ”

, he also glanced at Emperor Zhao, and drew a semicircle on his hand.

This is a hint to Emperor Zhao that if he wants to clean up these wild wolves around him when he is in power, he is afraid that he will not be able to rely on these people under his hands, at least he will have to use a general talent school that can be comparable to Zhong Zhuyu

But how can such a person be so easy to have?

Dayu has produced such a Zhong Yongnian for hundreds of years, and now there is an heir of Zhong Yongnian, who does it matter what is a man or a woman? It's important to get a good grasp of it!

Emperor Zhao's face was unhappy, but for the sake of the overall situation, he gritted his teeth and agreed to Liu Zhiyin's proposal.

"Zhong Zhuyu, General Anyuan of the third grade, is in charge of the Zhong family's army."

There was no one else.

But Zhong Zhuyu's eyes still lit up, and he kowtowed three times to Emperor Zhao, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Emperor!" ”

·

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhong Zhuyu deliberately stopped Liu Zhiyin and Zhang Guanhai outside the palace, and sincerely bowed to them: "Thank you two uncles for writing jade for you." ”

Zhang Guanhai laughed: "Don't be polite to us, the two of us have been friends with Yongnian for decades, and we don't want to see his only daughter being calculated." ”

Then he was stabbed by Liu Zhiyin: "Talk a lot!" ”

Zhong Shuyu pursed his lips and smiled: "The friendship between the two uncles and my father belongs to my father, and the kindness to me naturally belongs to me, and Zhuyu must remember it in my heart." ”

Liu Zhiyin showed a look of approval, but he didn't want to dwell on this topic: "Then when you marry Gongzi Qin, you have to hand us a post." ”

At this point, Zhong Zhuoyu's eyes burst out with strange colors, thinking that Qin Bairui had already set a date, and hurriedly agreed: "Definitely!" ”
