Chapter 488: Smugness
There is no doubt that Zhou Qiu is sure that he loves Sun Changyin very much, otherwise with his pride, he would never "cling" to the Sun family at the beginning.
However, what makes him painful is that he has always despised the behavior of Sun Changyu and Sun Bingzhi and other Sun family members - a family that can use the rise and fall of the country as a bargaining chip to play with the monarch and ministers cannot and should not be rich and noble.
For the first time, Zhou Qiu felt that this family affair had put him in a dilemma - turning his back on the Sun family, afraid that his wife would be sad and sad; clinging to the Sun family, and sorry for his conscience.
Sun Changyin has been pampered by her elders since she was a child, except for hitting the wall on Han Yan once, her life is simply smooth, which has also developed her innocent and innocent nature, at this time, looking at Zhou Qiu looking at her with a complicated face, she only felt confused and inexplicable.
"What's wrong?" Sun Changyin raised his hand and touched his cheek, lowered his head and tugged at his dress, and asked puzzledly, "Why is my husband staring at me like this?" But what's wrong with me? ”
As he spoke, he beckoned the maid to take a bronze mirror to take a self-portrait.
Zhou Qiu hurriedly spoke to stop her.
"Nope." Zhou Qiu smiled and dissuaded, "I just can't see my lady for a day, and I even miss it in my heart, so I'm stupid for a while." ”
Sun Changyin immediately blushed when he heard this, his eyes quickly swept around, and saw that the maids and women were standing a little farther away, and he couldn't hear Zhou Qiu's straightforward and fiery confession, and a fluttering heart was a little more stable, and he raised his head and said coquettishly: "In broad daylight, the husband will tease people~"
The voice is crisp and charming, like a yellow warbler out of the valley; The eyes are rippling and shy, like joy, innocent and lovely.
Looking at such a cute and delicate Sun Changyin, Zhou Qiu only felt that most of the depression in his heart had dissipated in an instant.
The reason why he fell in love with Sun Changyin at the beginning was because of her unconscious cuteness and coquettishness, it was because Sun Changyin would never know the sorrow of this world, and the smile on his face would never fade, he should also cheer up quickly and not let her worry about himself.
"The lady really wronged me. For the husband is sincere, the world can be learned, and the sun and the moon can be expressed! Zhou Qiu raised his hand and swore and said with a smile, "I didn't tease you!" ”
Sun Changyin bit his lower lip lightly when he heard this, his cheeks were as red as a glow, but his heart was as sweet as honey.
How fortunate to meet Zhou Lang in this life!
Time is like water, it always passes.
In the blink of an eye, it was May farming.
Just like in the previous life, most of the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty had a grain harvest dilemma; Fortunately, we took precautions in advance, and the stored grain in the Chang Ping warehouse avoided the tragic scene of starvation all over the country in time.
Although in a few places, due to the shortage of grain storage in Changping, or some people took the opportunity to raise prices, the price of grain soared, the people were struggling to make a living, and there were even small-scale riots of hungry people in some places, but fortunately, in the end, the imperial court sent troops in time to quell the turmoil, and immediately transferred grain from the surrounding areas to stabilize prices, and appeased the people's hearts in time.
Compared to the famine and turmoil that spread almost throughout the Great Zhou in the previous life, this is simply not worth mentioning.
You must know that in the previous life, Warat took advantage of this famine and civil unrest, waved his army all the way south, and captured several cities in the Great Zhou Dynasty in a row, and almost hit the capital.
Thanks to the fact that Zhenguo Gong was not afraid of death and led the people to resist desperately, it was finally difficult to stop the pace of Wara today, and barely kept the Zongmiao Sheji, and was not destroyed by Wara, nor was he forced to move the capital.
But for the so-called peace and stability, the Great Zhou paid a very painful price - almost all of the entire Liaodong region fell into the territory of Wara, and the people living there were driven and enslaved by Warat, and their lives were difficult to complete, let alone humane dignity.
After the famine was resolved, Emperor Kangping rewarded meritorious deeds, but all those who made meritorious contributions in this matter were rewarded.
Sun Jiajun won a complete victory, and he was in the limelight for a while.
Sun Changyu, who has always been self-respecting and calm, couldn't help but be proud at this time, seeing everyone who was kind and pleasant, and when he was in a good mood, he would take the initiative to greet him.
Even at Xiao Han Xin's first birthday banquet, Sun Changyu rarely personally picked out a valuable jade from the treasury, and sent the eldest son Sun Bingzhi to personally congratulate him and send it over.
Those people in the court who are active in their minds have become closer to the Sun family when they see this.
When Emperor Kangping saw this, he couldn't help but be indignant, and privately reprimanded: "Eat the king's lu, be loyal to the king, and bear the king's worries, I see that these people don't even know who the monarch is!" ”
Emperor Kangping has always called himself "I" in front of Han Yan, and at this time he rarely called himself "I", which shows that he was not lightly affected by Sun Changyu and those who took refuge in power for power, and felt that his emperor was despised by his subordinates.
Han Yan had a different opinion on this, and when he heard this, he gently persuaded Emperor Kang Ping: "The minister thinks that after this incident, it is a good thing to find out those people who pretend to be righteous and awe-inspiring on the surface, but are actually selfish. At the very least, the Holy Lord will not promote them to delay government affairs and harm the people because of a momentary mistake. ”
Emperor Kang Ping is just an eight-year-old child, even if he is precocious and has been an emperor for two years, he can't think so far-reaching for a while, and he doesn't have the stamina and open-mindedness, even if Han Yan persuades him like this, he still feels panicked in his heart.
"Uncle, I don't want to be such a puppet emperor...... Emperor Kang Ping said in a low voice, his tone angry, sad and helpless.
As an emperor, let alone execute national affairs, he does not even have the power to participate in decision-making, which is a sad and sad thing.
Seeing this, Han Yan sighed lightly, walked to Emperor Kangping's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "The Holy Lord is not a puppet emperor, but right now, you still need to be patient." However, don't worry, in the near future, you will definitely be able to govern yourself! ”
The Sun family has reached the top, and next, it should be downhill.
"By the way, the matter of digging iron and casting soldiers in Harrier Ridge is very important, and the Holy Lord should also send someone to check the situation." Han Yan changed his words and said with a smile, "Qi Shangshu should return to the capital in a few days, and Zhenguo Gong is busy leading the Liaodong Army to fight against Wara, whether the next project should be entrusted to Lord Xie, you have to make a decision as soon as possible." ”
Emperor Kang Ping pursed his lips when he saw Han Yan talking about business, so he had to put away the dissatisfaction and depression in his heart first, and asked, "Who does Uncle think he should send over?" ”
Anyway, in this situation, Han Yan must not leave the capital. Otherwise, without Han Yan's containment, Sun Changyu wouldn't know what to look like!
"What does the saint think, how is Zhou Qiu in Langzhong?" Han Yan asked with a smile.
