Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Imperial History of the Two Academies

As soon as Zhou Yu heard this, he understood that he had finally gained something from this trip.

"Your Majesty, please forgive the grass people, this artifact will definitely not be able to be put into use directly in a short period of time, and it must be equipped with the army after its performance is stable. Not only that, if Your Majesty really wants to reign over the world, you must first solve the problems of the country itself, and you must first settle the inside before you go outside, which is the best policy."

"What is the "outside must be settled first"? Tell me about it!" Emperor Wen ordered.

Zhou Yu was about to bury his head on the ground, and then continued: "In the next cloth, there is no official and no position, if you discuss political affairs in vain and say the wrong thing, then a big disaster will come! Your Majesty is wise and martial, and he must have a good way to govern the country and secure the country!"

"What's so hard about not having an official position? Someone came, drafted a decree for me, promoted Zhou Yu to the Imperial History of the Taitai Yuan and the Imperial History of the Procuratorate, and performed the duties of promotion, impeachment and picketing, and the holy decree was issued immediately!" Emperor Wen said solemnly.

Before Zhou Yu could speak, Chen Ruolan, who was standing aside and waiting, was shocked. The responsibilities of the imperial history platform are clear, since the founding of Dawen, there has never been a royal history of the two academies, and now Zhou Yu has become the first person in ancient and modern times, this is too sudden, and she is still a little difficult to accept for a while.

In fact, the dialogue between Zhou Yu and Emperor Wen is not as simple as it seems, but a hidden mystery.

Zhou Yu was talking in front of him, but when Emperor Wen asked him the most critical question, that is, what to do if he "went outside must first be inside", Zhou Yu suddenly refused to say it, but mentioned that he had no official position, and he was afraid that he would be punished for saying the wrong thing. If he was really afraid of being convicted for his words, then why did the large piece of text pointing out the country appear in front of him? Wouldn't it be better to just keep your mouth shut? So Zhou Yu's words are actually saying, you ask me how to "Ann", and I am not in the imperial court, how do I know what the situation of civil and military officials is? Since I don't know these things, then I won't talk about them, and you don't come to ask me.

Emperor Wen's intention to Zhou Yu's appreciation of the official is also very clear: I see that you kid does have two brushes, and when it comes to the court meeting, you will give me a little stare at the civil and military officials, and everyone's words and deeds are all under your control, and when I ask you again, you must tell me why!

Everyone is a smart person, and Emperor Wen Zhou Yu also understood what he meant, so he said, "Thank you, Sheng, Longen! However, the grass people are only shallow in their studies, and they have a family outside the home, so they are running a restaurant business, so I am afraid it will be difficult for them to take this position......

"Well, I know what you're up to. In this way, if there is nothing important, you can participate in the morning pilgrimage at the New Moon and the New Moon every month, and you can arrange the rest of the time." Emperor Wen interrupted Zhou Yu's words.

Emperor Wen made this arrangement so that Zhou Yu could not only participate in the government affairs, but also not form gangs and gather forces in the court. After all, if a person as smart as him really calculated, it would be really a troublesome matter......

Since Emperor Wen has said this, Zhou Yu has no way to shirk it, so he can only agree: "Zhou Yu takes the order!"

"That's right......" Emperor Wen said with a satisfied nod.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has one more thing, please give your Majesty's permission!" Zhou Yu said.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"A few days ago, the minister met a strange person, who was excellent in astronomy and geography, and she promised to accept the minister as an apprentice, and took the minister to retreat for three months to cultivate the great practice. Since childhood, he has admired this kind of scholarship, and he wants to follow his teacher to learn the arts, and when the term of March is over, he will come back to serve His Majesty, and I beg Your Majesty's permission!" Zhou Yu knelt down and bowed.

"Since there is a master as a teacher, then you can go. On the New Moon after March, you must appear above the early dynasty, or you will be guilty of deceit!" Although Emperor Wen agreed, he also gave Zhou Yu a small warning.

"Wechen understands!"

"Alright, you go down!" Emperor Wen said.

"Yes!"

Seeing this, Chen Ruolan also said, "Father, the minister there has also retired!"

Emperor Wen nodded.

Chen Ruolan followed behind Zhou Yu, and it wasn't until she walked out of the imperial study that she chased after her and said, "You can really do it! From a cloth cloth to the sixth grade of the imperial history, or the only imperial history of the two academies in my Dawen so far, I have never seen my father have such a preference for others! Tell me about it, how does it feel to be a royal historian?"

Zhou Yu said expressionlessly: "Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, this imperial history has little power and responsibility! If I mess with those *** nobles, then I'm afraid my head will have to move!"

Chen Ruolan listened to her words and said with some amusement, "Have you forgotten my identity?" Accompany the king like a tiger", you dare to say this kind of thing in front of me? As long as I report it to my father, you will be guilty of a great disrespect!"

"It's okay, I'm sure you won't." Zhou Yu said indifferently.

"Why?" Chen Ruolan asked curiously.

"Maybe it's a gut feeling."

「……」

The two of them were silent for a while, and it wasn't until they walked out of the palace that Zhou Yu turned to Chen Ruolan and said, "I have something I want to ask you, but I don't know if it's convenient for you to answer."

"Yo? I can't imagine that Lord Zhou, who has always been clever, also has something to ask me? Then I'll have to listen to it! Tell me whatever I know!" Chen Ruolan said.

"Prince Lian has a close personal relationship with which important officials in the court?" Zhou Yu looked at Chen Ruolan with burning eyes and asked.

I have to say that the question raised by Zhou Yu was as sharp as his gaze, which made Chen Ruolan a little unable to open her mouth.

"This...... Why do you suddenly ask about such a thing? Do you suspect that there is something wrong with Uncle Lian?" Chen Ruolan said with some embarrassment.

"I didn't say that, I just wanted to get a sense of the situation. If you don't feel comfortable answering, don't force it!" Zhou Yu added.

"There's nothing bad to say, as far as I know, Wang Xiang and Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites are good friends with the imperial uncle, but they are all normal dealings, and there is nothing deviant." Chen Ruolan still told everything she knew.

"Thank you!" Zhou Yu said goodbye to Chen Ruolan and walked back alone.

Chen Ruolan didn't continue to follow him, her mind was still haunted by the question Zhou Yu had just raised.

Although she kept saying that Prince Lian and Wang Xiang and the Ministry of Rites were normal dealings, when she spit out this sentence, she didn't have any confidence in her heart.

The reason is also very simple, in recent years, the power of the right minister Wang Cheng has become more and more powerful, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu is his right-hand man, and because of this, even the door of the imperial examination has fallen into Wang Cheng's control. As a princess, although Chen Ruolan knew these circumstances, she was a woman after all and could not directly intervene in court politics. What's more, it is impossible for his father not to understand these things, but there is still no way to stop them, which shows that Emperor Wen has really encountered some problems, and they are also problems that Chen Ruolan cannot solve.

"Your Majesty, according to what the old slave saw, although Zhou Yu's grand remarks were extremely exciting, but after all, it was just a matter of talking on paper, and it was just a matter of allowing him to exercise and exercise, why did you use the imperial history of the two houses as soon as you came up, in case he just had an empty appearance, wouldn't it be a non-person?" Lin Chun asked with some confusion.

"Do you know that decades ago, the two countries also faced off for years, and the southern border was a long-term war, and the people were miserable. For this reason, the emperor once convened the ministers to discuss countermeasures, and the two prime ministers and the six Shangshu argued for more than a month, and finally came to the conclusion that if they wanted to have a long-term peace in the Wen Kingdom, the only way was to destroy the Qianguo and Wei States. At that time, whether the Liang Kingdom in the west comes to surrender or not, out of precaution against Tibet, Wen Liang will not fight against each other. Today's Zhou Yu's exposition coincides with the resolution of the former emperor and the ministers! Not only that, but he even persuaded me to defeat the Liang Kingdom and Tubo together, it is really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers!" Emperor Wen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, even so, it can only prove that Zhou Yu has a unique vision, and it doesn't mean that he can really serve as the imperial historian!" Lin Chun was still a little worried, the emperor's approach today was something he had never seen before, and as the personal guard of the Son of Heaven, it was necessary for him to bear a certain duty of reminder.

Listening to Lin Chun's words, Emperor Wen suddenly closed his eyes, relaxed his body and leaned on the back of the dragon chair, and said with some comfort: "Before the first emperor died, he once passed me a secret edict. It is said that it is a hexagram calculated by a master for the first emperor, and the hexagram says that within a hundred years of my great literature, there will be two internal and external troubles. The first time was that the external troubles were heavy and the internal troubles were light, and the sage of the emperor and the ministers tried their best to assist, which was enough to overcome the difficulties and make our country once again present a prosperous image. However, the second time is that the internal troubles are worse than the external troubles, which need to be rare in ancient and modern times

The odd people help each other. In my opinion, it has reached such a point now, and I hope that this Zhou Yu is the strange person that the master said......

After Lin Chun heard this, he no longer insisted on his own opinions, and quietly stayed by Emperor Wen's side.

Zhou Yu had just returned home with his front foot, and the eunuch who came from the palace to deliver the decree arrived with his hind foot.

Where had Feng Yue and the others seen this kind of battle, they were all stunned in place, and only after Zhou Yu reminded them did they kneel down to show respect.

"Zhou Yu takes the order!"

"Ministers Zhou Yu greets the holy decree!"

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: In ancient times, the holy king ruled the world by relying on virtuous ministers, and now there is Zhou Yu, a person from Luozhou, who is familiar with astronomy, knows geography, has extraordinary appearance, and has excellent knowledge.

"Zhou Yu is grateful, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" After Zhou Yu bowed again, he received the holy decree from the eunuch's hand.

"Lord Zhou is the only imperial history of the two academies since the establishment of our Wenguo, please fulfill your duties, be loyal to the saint, and do your best for my great literature!" The eunuch who delivered the decree did not forget to tell before leaving.

"Father-in-law, rest assured, Zhou Yu should do his best to revive Dawen, so as to live up to His Majesty's heavenly grace!" Zhou Yu said respectfully.

The eunuch nodded with satisfaction and left with the palace wrestlers at random.

Feng Yue and the others found an opportunity to ask, "Xiao Yu, why did the emperor give you an official?"

"Xianggong, what kind of officials are the imperial historians of these two courts? How many official residences are there?"

"My uncle has become an official, and our family will be prosperous!"

Faced with everyone's state of surprise, Zhou Yu could only smile helplessly.
