Chapter 275 Flowers and a full moon
readx;? For more than 20 years, the Great Zhou Empire has been threatened by the Great Shang Empire, and the old emperors of the Great Zhou Empire, that is, the fathers of Zhou Sheng and Zhou Chang, often had trouble sleeping and eating, and Zhou Sheng also had a hard time because of this after inheriting the throne of the Great Zhou Empire.

A few months ago, the capital of Zhou was besieged by the million-strong army of the Great Shang Empire, and the Great Zhou Empire was in danger.
Just a few months later, the once formidable Great Shang Empire was wiped out, and half of the territory was subsumed into the Great Zhou Empire.
Such a huge change, not only Zhou Sheng and Zhou Wen did not expect it at all, but even Zhou Chang did not expect it.
The three of them knew in their hearts that almost all of this was due to Wang Yu.
Just now, the three of them gathered in the imperial study of Zhou Sheng's dormitory to discuss matters, and Lin Tianchen, the commander of the guards, rushed over to report the good news.
At first glance, the three of them could hardly believe their ears, and it wasn't until Lin Tianchen presented the handwritten fold written by Wang Yu that they believed it.
The surprise in the hearts of the three people was difficult to calm down for a long time.
After a long time, Zhou Sheng walked to Zhou Chang's side, took his hands, and said with a smile: "Brother Chang, when Wang Yu and the sect leader of the Demon Heaven Sect, You Jiuniang, came to Zhou Capital, Wen'er and I both doubted his motives, thinking that he would be unfavorable to our Great Zhou, but you said that Wang Yu would only be beneficial to our Great Zhou, and would never be unfavorable to our Great Zhou, I still didn't believe it at that time, but now I believe it completely!"
After speaking, he glanced at Zhou Wen and said to Zhou Chang: "Brother Chang, you have both ability and political integrity, know people and are good at your duties, far better than me and Wen'er, it is better for you to sit on the throne of the Great Zhou Empire!"
Zhou Wen hurriedly bowed to Zhou Chang and said, "Uncle, my grandfather originally wanted to leave this throne to you, so don't shirk it!"
In the past few months, Zhou Chang has helped him and Zhou Sheng deal with a lot of state affairs, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, lifting weights like light, he sees it in his eyes, and admires this virtuous uncle more and more.
Zhou Chang smiled slightly and said, "Brother Huang, Wen'er, this has put the matter of the throne on hold for so many days, I thought you had forgotten about it a long time ago, why did you mention it again?"
Zhou Sheng said: "At this time, it is the wish of the emperor, you forgot, but Wen'er and I have not forgotten, and now you must not shirk again!"
Zhou Chang said: "Brother Huang, for the Great Zhou Empire, the most important thing is stability, you are the emperor who deserves it well, and suddenly replacing it with me is bound to cause some unnecessary chaos, which is not good for our Great Zhou Empire." ”
Zhou Wendao: "Uncle is virtuous, the little nephew admires it so much, my father will give you the throne of the Great Zhou, there will indeed be some chaos in the short term, but in the long run, it will be very beneficial to our Great Zhou, coupled with Wang Yu's full assistance, our Great Zhou Empire may really have a day to unify the Xuanhuang Continent!"
He spoke generously, his eyes glittering, and he thought about it with great excitement.
Zhou Chang smiled and said: "Wen'er, you praise me too much, in fact, your father's virtue is by no means inferior to mine, it is only because the former emperor listened to some false words of Zhang Tianguan of the previous dynasty that he will pass the throne to me regardless of the practice of passing on the throne to the elder and not to the young, isn't it funny? Moreover, no matter who sits on the throne of the Great Zhou, I believe that Wang Yu will try his best to support us." ”
Zhou Sheng lowered his face and said: "Brother Chang, you don't say this! Zhang Xingguan of the previous dynasty was a person who had attained enlightenment, and he said that your descendants must be the dragons and phoenixes of the world, how could it be a false statement?"
Zhou Chang was speechless, he could only smile helplessly, and said: "Brother Huang, I want to emulate the predecessor of this dynasty, Tongtian Patriarch, and follow him to practice, I will definitely not accept the throne of the Great Zhou Empire!"
Zhou Sheng said eagerly: "Brother Chang, it is the last wish of the previous emperor that you inherit the throne, no matter what, you will inherit the throne!"
The two argued for a while, and Zhou Wen was caught in the middle, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
At this moment, the outer ring of the imperial study sounded softly, and Zhou Wan'er walked in, wearing a goose-yellow silk shirt, thin powder, which looked more and more moving.
She stepped forward and said a thousand blessings to Zhou Sheng and Zhou Chang respectively, and said coquettishly: "Uncle, father, didn't you take Wang Yu into account when you two quarreled over the throne?
Just now she got a report from the maid in the harem where she lived, and learned about Wang Yu's recent situation, so she rushed over to find her father and uncle.
Outside the door just now, she happened to hear Zhou Sheng and Zhou Chang's words clearly.
Zhou Sheng and Zhou Chang couldn't help but be stunned when they heard her say this.
Zhou Sheng smiled and said: "Wan'er, I know that you are devoted to Wang Yu, I have already thought about it just now, and I am ready to crown him as the protector of the country, I don't know if you are satisfied?"
Zhou Wan'er smiled and said coquettishly: "Uncle, then I will thank you more for Wang Yu! He has been fighting abroad for several months, and now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, why doesn't Uncle send someone to visit him with the canonized holy decree?"
Zhou Sheng frowned and said: "Wan'er, your idea is not bad, but now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is only a few days away, the Zhou capital is far away from the new border of the Great Zhou Empire where Wang Yu is now stationed, where can I find a minister who is so advanced in cultivation and can travel so quickly?"
Zhou Wan'er said: "Uncle, I have a suitable candidate. ”
After speaking, she whispered a few words in Zhou Sheng's ear.
Zhou Sheng immediately turned to look at her, his eyes widened in surprise......
A full moon slowly rises, sprinkling the bright light all over the earth, and the chrysanthemums in the courtyard are in full bloom, and the fragrance is refreshing.
This is a small city on the new border in the west of the Great Zhou Empire, originally a city in the middle of the original Great Shang Empire, and two hundred miles away is a city occupied by the Demon Heaven Empire that also belongs to the original Great Shang Empire.
Now Wang Yu has led the army to recover half of the territory in the eastern part of the original Great Shang Empire, and is swallowing troops in this small city, planning to send troops to attack the Demon Heaven Empire in two days, and the other half of the territory belonging to the original Great Shang Empire has also been recovered.
He studied the battle plan alone in the study in the courtyard, and before he knew it, it was getting late, and it was time for dinner.
The door creaked open, and You Jiuniang walked in. 1866
Wang Yu turned his head to look at her and said with a smile: "Xiao Jiu, come and call me for dinner?"
For several months, You Jiuniang has been by Wang Yu's side, Wang Yu is busy with military affairs, lunch is free, every time it is dinner time, You Jiuniang calls him to have dinner together.
You Jiuniang nodded and said softly: "Today I made a few side dishes with my own hands, and they have been placed in the pavilion in the courtyard. ”
Wang Yu was slightly taken aback, followed her out of the study, and came to the pavilion in the courtyard, where she saw a round table with seven or eight dishes on the table, all of which were full of color and fragrance, which was mouth-watering.
There was also a white jade wine jug and two white jade wine glasses on the table.
He turned his head to look at You Jiuniang and said in surprise, "You made these dishes yourself?"
You Jiuniang nodded slightly.
Wang Yu was stunned for a while, and said with a smile: "What day is today, you have made so many dishes for me?"
You Jiuniang stretched out a green jade finger and pointed to the full moon in the sky.
Wang Yu then remembered that today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, smiled at Youjiu Niang, and the two of them sat down at the table together.
As soon as the two of them picked up the chopsticks, they heard someone giggle.
