Chapter VII: Court Debate

The Siqin family in Yindu has now been renamed Zhuangfu, because this mansion was rewarded to Zhuang Xun by the emperor.

It is still a gardenia painting, accompanied by Yun Yin, Zhuang Xun finished writing the letter sent to Si Qinmi, and the two maids who were moistened by the spring rain were affectionate with their eyebrows and red sleeves.

"Two prodigal hooves, stay away from my husband, he will go to court tomorrow, and he has no time to play with you." Li Ruxi was a person who spoiled the scenery and walked to Zhuang Xun's side.

The two of them put down the grinding ink and paper, took two steps back, and lowered their heads.

"What about you, stay away from me?" Zhuang Xun put the letter on the envelope, looked at Li Ruxi, who was close at hand, and smiled.

"The concubine is supervising her husband." Li Ruxi approached, looked at the letter in Zhuang Xun's hand and said to him, "For my sister?" ”

"Miss her, write her a letter." Zhuang Xun wrote the cover of the letter, and his wife Wei Shiqi.

"It's almost over, after the court meeting tomorrow, you can go back, husband, are you the son of King Yu, how do you feel that you want what the other party will give?" Li Ruxi said suspiciously.

"No, I've said it many times, it's really not, I still don't know where I'm from?" This misunderstanding is really getting deeper.

Zhuang Xun didn't dare to think about what he would do if the emperor's vein appeared in the future, it was really golden, and the rumors would not go crazy.

After all, King Yu's generosity to himself is really difficult to match a king, and he himself feels that his current situation is very inflated, and some threats to the country of Yu, but the last time King Yu met, he actually reassured himself, and these two ways are his own.

What kind of heart is this, the thousand words prepared by myself were not used in the end, but they were concerned about what King Yu lacked, whether to send it over.

Isn't this the treatment of illegitimate children? Or is it to deliberately set up a trap to paralyze yourself?

He may have thought about all of this, but it was really giving people money and materials, and even the forbidden army that had promised had already given two batches according to five hundred people, and they were scattered and re-arranged, which was no problem.

Zhuang Xun couldn't understand it, he really couldn't understand it, he didn't understand why King Yu treated him so personally, was it also to earn merit, what merit did he want to earn as an emperor, and it was not merit to govern the country well.

It's just that he doesn't understand that governing the country is not so easy.

"It doesn't matter if it's not, you are the husband of the concubine, the spring flowers are blooming, how about I go to the garden to enjoy the spring." Seeing that Zhuang Xun's expression was impatient, Li Ruxi invited with a smile, and rubbed Zhuang Xun's shoulder affectionately.

"Very good, Sister Gardenia, help deliver the letter." Zhuang Xun waved the letter, drained the ink, and handed it to the waiting gardenia.

"Your name is Sister Gardenia, why do you call her sister, you don't call Sister Concubine......" Li Ruji lost her temper, and the playful nature accounted for most of it.

"You are my wife, good sister, okay, don't make a fuss, let's go see the flowers, no one has taken care of it for so long, are the flowers still blooming......" Zhuang Xun stood up and hugged Li Ruxi's waist, the waist was slender and soft, it was hard to imagine how this waist could control armor and weapons, and he would not say that he was bigger than Li Ruxi.

"That's pretty much it." Zhuang Xun, a good sister, made Li Ru sweet, people who love each other don't care about expensive gifts, and they can be happy for a long time with a title.

"There are still a little, last year was not destroyed, the concubine made people go to the dead branches and leaves, today the sun is clear, there should be a lot of flowers blooming." Li Ruji said that the management of the mansion and whether she can manage the mansion well is also a test of the hostess's ability.

"It's hard work, let's go, let's see what the garden looks like." Zhuang Xun praised him lovingly, took Li Ruxi's waist and walked to the garden.

The garden is very large, but there are no tall trees, compared to the garden where I walked with Li Guifei that day, it is also a lot inferior, there are no strange flowers, but the flowers are still quite comfortable.

At least about the matter of going to court tomorrow, I don't feel much oppression, this time Si Qin Mi is not there, he is also facing this situation for the first time, how much does he have no bottom in his heart, and now Li Ru Ji has taken on Si Qin Mi's comfort work.

"This Siqin family's garden is much larger than my mother's house, and I don't know why the Siqin family wants to take refuge in Youguo, can there be a bigger garden in Youguo?" Li Ruxi and Zhuang Xun wandered around.

"I also want to know, I heard that Siqin Shengjing was also imprisoned by King You, and I don't know what the situation is now, whether I regret it." Zhuang Xun looked at the garden after taking care of it, and it was no longer dilapidated, and he didn't pull out the flowers and plants when he raided the house.

Now the flowers are in spring again, and the old people are not seen.

The noble family, which was very prosperous for a while, finally left the building empty, and pressed the treasure on Youguo, and finally Youguo suffered a defeat.

I saw the tall building, and I saw the building collapse.

I thought that the country was strong, and it could sweep the leaves in the autumn wind, and the solution to the Yu country by plowing the court and sweeping the holes, but I never thought about it, but it was the horse hitting the south wall, and there was no way.

"Why don't you regret it, I just don't know what it looks like to regret it, but it's okay if he leaves, if he doesn't defect, how can there be this mansion for his husband." She leaned lightly on Zhuang Xun, and her appreciation of flowers stopped at the surface, and the important thing was to be with people.

With the person she likes, playing with the flowers of spring like this, the happiness fills her heart, relying on Zhuang Xun, the floating soul has to rely on, the cold wind blows, the wide robe covers her body, and the care from her husband, bit by bit.

"Leave me the mess in Jiannan Road, hurry up tomorrow and finish dealing with those insects, go home quickly, think about the lady, she must be working hard now, there are so many things." Zhuang Xun didn't think about it so much, he missed Si Qinmi, and he missed her in his heart, and some of them regarded her as an anchor in this world.

People are composed of social relations, the original world has a family, for the family, this world Si Qinmi is a family, of course, now close to his own Li Ru is also a family.

It is the motivation for him to wander in a foreign land.

"Poor sister, we are here for leisure, but let her be busy, and then the concubine must share one or two for her." Li Ruji has already admitted defeat, anyway, she just came to join the family, and the fight has died down.

Congenital lame, more than one.

First, she married a flat wife, second, the rebellion of the country was not measured, and third, she was taken care of by Si Qinmi, and the three things added up, she had lost the qualification to compete for status with Si Qinmi, and could only stoop to be small.

And what Si Qinmi did, assisting Zhuang Xun in governing Dao County and managing the family house, all of this seemed flawless, how lucky Zhuang Xun was to pick up this kind of talent.

Li Ruxi was convinced by this sister, especially Si Qinmi's Wang Bang, and she didn't have any thoughts at all.

"Yes, you are in charge, she is in charge of outside." Zhuang Xun nodded, assigned.

thought of Si Qinmi's persuasion to marry a flat wife to manage the family house, so as to prevent her from being too busy to work hard.

"So what do you care?" Li Ruxi smiled.

"I'll take care of you two and take care of you." Zhuang Xun sniffed the fragrance of her sideburns and said, admitting his lack of ability and doing what he could.

"Giggles, that's ......" Li Ru smiled as crisp and beautiful as a silver bell.

"Hi-er, do you dream of becoming a general?" Biting his ruddy face, Zhuang Xun suddenly thought and said.

"How could the husband think so, but he thinks the concubine is barbaric." Li Ruxi froze.

"How is it possible, I said it all, I like your wildness, I just think that your martial arts, housekeeping at home, is it a waste of a little." Li Ruji can have such a high level of martial arts, there must be a lot of exercise, and there must be a goal to insist on exercising, and now that she is married to herself, she teaches her husband and children at home, and he feels that she has destroyed other people's ideals.

"Husband wants me to be a general?" Li Ru Xi squinted, and the apricot eyes didn't look good, but Zhuang Xun didn't see it, he just leaned on Li Ru Xi's head, as if he wanted to pass on what he was thinking to her.

"No, how to say it, I still want my woman to be safe, I don't want you to be a general in my heart, but if you have career demands, I also respect it, after all, it would be a pity to practice this martial art, read the art of war, and stop at being a good woman at home." It's like having a baby and a child at home after graduating with a Ph.D. in nuclear physics, it's really a waste, whether it's for the country or the individual.

The tone is sincere, the words are sincere, Zhuang Xun is still relatively tolerant of women's work, the typical thing is that Siqin Mi has almost actually mastered his political lifeline, this kind of thing is very dangerous, a bad relationship, something may happen.

But Zhuang Xun didn't think that he was very open, and at the same time, his relationship with Si Qinmi was indestructible, and now he did the same with Li Ruji.

Li Ruxi was stunned for a while, this is not the first time that she feels respected from Zhuang Xun, the other party regards herself as an equal person.

Zhuang Xun is very double standard, he himself admits that he has double standard, for example, he can love many women, but requires women to love him alone, he can green others, not allow others to green him, too much is the woman he has been on, even if he doesn't like to be a vase at home and doesn't give it to others, but in a certain way he is very equal, just like now, as long as he is loyal to himself, he encourages women to do happy things and have their own careers, rather than revolving around themselves.

"Husband, do you really think so?" Li Ruxi touched Zhuang Xun's forehead to see if he was talking nonsense, this remark was a bit shocking.

"If you really want to be a general and lead troops to fight, you don't want you to go to war because of me, and you don't want to stay at home because of me." Zhuang Xun shook his head and said that he mainly hoped that Li Ruxi would do what he liked.

"How can it not be for you, just like Sister Wei, if it is not for the sake of her husband, how can she bother with the governance of Jiannan Dao." Li Ruxi hugged Zhuang Xun sideways and said.

"Then don't do it, it's not that I don't have no one under me, Captain Wang, Second Brother He......" Zhuang Xun dispelled this idea and said.

"Their level is very low, they can't train an army that wins all battles, the art of war and the military system that the concubine stole from his father was learned by him from Zhao and other powerful countries, he summed it up, and the concubine also summed it up, husband, the concubine wants to help you train an army that wins all battles." Li Ruxi kissed Zhuang Xun's cheek and assured Zhuang Xun.

"No, I don't want you to ......"

"Sister Wei, why can? The husband, the concubine decided, and he had to do something for the husband, make up for the concubine's mistakes, and did not protect his husband's mistakes. Intimate with each other, whispering in the ears, and Zhuang Xun's words also gave Li Ruxi an idea.

In the rebellion of Chengguo, there was no winner in this family, everyone was in a state of making up for the debt, Zhuang Xun felt that he owed the He family, and Si Qinmi felt that he owed Zhuang Xun.

And Li Ruxi and Li Ruxi felt indebted, and the soldiers were taken away by her, so they did not save Li Pingyuan as planned, but attacked the imperial city, causing the little man's Zhuang Xun to be exposed in the eyes of Gao Guozhou, the prime minister.

Zhuang Xun should have been a neglected figure, even if he married Li Ruxi, he was also a neglected figure, because he was a foreign envoy and had no local influence, even if he used his wedding as an excuse to gather the Li family, but the woman who married out did not have the name of calling on the Li family faction, she should listen to Zhuang Xun as Li Pingyuan said, so Zhuang Xun did not have the so-called military disaster.

Because everyone never thought of any reason to target Zhuang Xun, Si Qinmi didn't expect it, Jiang Xianqian didn't expect it, Li Pingyuan didn't expect it, and Gao Guozhou didn't expect it, how could a mere foreign imperial history need to use valuable military power.

It was she who changed her plan and killed the imperial city, her unparalleled bravery, which exposed Zhuang Xun's existence in front of Prime Minister Gao Guozhou, and as a result, Mrs. Jiang came to help late, and He Tan took the initiative to die in order not to become a hostage.

In the end, there was no result, everything was within her father's expectations, except for his sister and himself, he had calculated everything else, he had done useless work, really useless work, and her husband's family suffered a military disaster, compared to Siqin Mi's self-blame for not being careful enough, she killed countless people, but she went straight to the imperial city like a clown, which was ridiculous to the extreme.

Now that an opportunity to atone for her sins is put in front of her, reorganize the armament, destroy the country, wash away the stains, and make meritorious contributions, how can she be as sincere as Zhuang Xun said.

"I didn't ask you to make up for it, they all said you didn't want to ......"

"Yes...... In the past, it was because there was no chance, but now that the husband has mentioned it, the concubine wants to unify the army, and the concubine wants to drive for the husband and conquer the city for the husband. Li Ruxi took a step forward and turned around, her apricot eyes were pleading, and her round eyes were fluorescent, looking unwavering.

"Let's go back and talk about it, don't live up to the good spring." Holding Li Ruji's hand, Zhuang Xun opened the topic and ended the topic.

The interest in appreciating the flowers is gone, one night, no exercise, and my brain is hesitating whether to let Li Ruxi be a general, but it will bring a sense of oppression to the court.

Stepping into the palace again, Zhuang Xun's feeling has been completely different, compared to the first time he came to walk on thin ice, this time he came to stand behind the Li family, and his mentality was different.

The official position of the court was as the imperial history, so he stood on the left, but the officials along the road gave him a way.

In just half a year, the world was turned upside down, and at first I thought it was a lucky back-handed man, but after some manipulation, he sat on the populous Hebei Province, the fertile Jiannan Road, and the personnel power to prevent the court and the princes from interfering.

How? Are you going to rebel?

This is their idea, discussing Zhuang Xun in detail, discussing Zhuang Xun's identity, discussing the land under Zhuang Xun's jurisdiction, and discussing the official position under his subordinates.

Just a few words came into Zhuang Xun's ears, and he didn't react, he pretended not to hear when he heard it, he knew this skill.

Today, nominally, it is to celebrate Zhuang Xun's smooth envoy to the country, he has a separate position, relatively forward, but also given up by the officials in front, he stands in a specific position, and accepts the baptism of all kinds of eyes from hundreds of officials.

Until King Yu came to the throne of the Supreme.

King Lao Yu is really dying, and the last dynasty has to be carried out, but it still maintains the majesty of the emperor very well, as soon as he comes out, the hundred officials are silent, and then the mountain shouts long live.

"Today is very joyful, Zhuang Qing sent an envoy to become a country, to connect marriages, to repair Yu, to form an alliance, is a blessing for the country." The voice of King Yu who sat down was full of anger, but there was nothing sickly, which was why he was able to suppress the ministers.

"Long live my emperor, God bless Yu country." Zhang Xiang started to speak, and everyone began to speak in unison, and the atmosphere suddenly became festive.

"Fortunately, I was blessed by my emperor, and I lived up to my mission, and I exchanged for Jiannan Dao." Don't mention the matter of Hebei Province, it is the dowry of his wife, what to mention.

"Jiannan Dao, Jiannan Dao, this time Zhuang Qing has merit, so he will lead the Jiannan Dao Festival Envoy." King Yu raised Jiannan Dao twice, as if he felt that it was not easy to recapture, and then rewarded him.

He is now in a peaceful state of mind, and he can no longer set off waves in his heart.

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Zhuang Xun hurriedly knelt down to receive the order, and everyone didn't have much opinion on this matter, after all, he went to Chengguo, and finally talked about Jiannan Dao, and he should get this kind of reward.

"Give the seal ribbon, give the seat, I am not wrong at the longevity banquet, I really deserve the first name." King Yu was pleased to say that looking at Zhuang Xun's high-spirited appearance today, his eyes were more satisfied with his successor.

If you live thoroughly, many things will be relaxed, the inheritance of your ancestors? I don't go to my own prefecture, I can't see the so-called ancestors, and if I hand it over to those rebels, I can face my ancestors?

"Thank you for your kindness." Zhuang Xun knelt and bowed his waist, this gratitude is real, without King Yu's preference to promote, to get this achievement, with his identity, it is too difficult.

"You have to thank Gong Qing, he recommended you, otherwise how would I know that there is a virtuous person hidden in this Yin City Market." Yu Wang said happily that thinking of the experience of discovering Zhuang Xun, he was the most successful treasure digging in recent years.

"Thank you, Lord Miya." Zhuang Xun saluted to Gong Ji, who recommended him, and Gong Ji returned the salute to him.

The eyes are envious, not only him, but the princes in the court who are not envious, twenty-four years old, the official worship festival, and it is the war period, and the appearance of his official residence can be vaguely seen.

This is the culmination of the officials' struggle, and it is also the end of the struggle, but the young man in front of him seems to be within reach.

"Zhuang Qing sit down, after the court meeting, I will set up a banquet alone to comfort you, this time the envoy to Chengguo has worked hard, and I also encountered a coup d'Γ©tat in Chengguo, but it has hurt you." King Yu said with concern.

"The matter of loyalty to the monarch was safe and sound, but the entourage and the officials of the mansion unfortunately died." Zhuang Xun sighed.

"I heard that they didn't listen to Zhuang Qing's dispatch and died in the rebellion, they deserved it, they didn't listen to Zhuang Qing's orders from the imperial history, they didn't listen to my orders, they deserved to die." King Yu directly qualitatively said that the officials of the Ministry of Rites wanted to speak, but in the end they didn't say it.

"The Ministry of Rites has selected a new official to Chengguo, don't worry, do you Aiqing still have something to do?" touched Zhuang Xun's little tail, and King Yu hoped that this would be the case today.

But he also knew that this was an extravagant hope, Hebei Province and Jiannan Road, how much benefit, how could the hyenas in the court not smell the fishy smell.

Sure enough, after a few regular debriefings.

Li Guangyuan, the left attendant of the ministry, a tall and thin middle-aged man stood up first.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music, now that Hebei and Jiannan Province have been recovered, please select and send good talents to govern the counties and counties to resume production, and ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment."

The official system of Yu State is that from the imperial court to the county officials, they are all appointed by the imperial court, so his words are not abrupt, and it is a very normal proposal.

"Indeed, the two ways of stability are the foundation of the selection and dispatch of officials to protect the people, and it is also to help Lord Zhuang govern the place." Yang Xiang, who was old, bowed down and said.

Youguo failed, so what, but there is a little grass on the wall, he still represents the clear stream, so that he will never fall.

"Zhuang Qing, what do you think?" King Yu did not directly veto, but instead asked for Zhuang Xun's opinion.

"Jiannan Dao, welcome colleagues, all the adults selected by the special officials to come to help, it is not easy to govern the county, after all, the Youjun who had no time to withdraw became mountain bandits, and many of the temporary officials who were recruited were killed, and many people fled in fear because of this, if there are colleagues who are not afraid of life and death to take office, fill the vacancy, I am grateful." Zhuang Xun's half-truths and half-truths, maybe not before, should be now.

"Didn't the imperial court send a forbidden army?" Some people questioned.

"Thousands of forbidden troops, a drop in the bucket, how big Jiannan is, how few forbidden troops are, if every adult who takes office is equipped with forbidden army protection, then there is no need to worry." Zhuang Xun listened, nodded hurriedly, and agreed.

"I also want these people to be raised, the forbidden army is already scarce, protect the officials, who will protect the Jingshi? Recruit people themselves. King Yu sang with a black face, which was also his inner thoughts, what kind of crooked melons and cracked dates are these, and he has to send people to protect them, and he thinks of beauty!

Zhuang Xun's words were understood by everyone, there was a bandit in Jiannan Road, whoever goes will die, come if you don't want to die, of course, he can say this because he passed the gas with King Yu in advance.

"Since Jiannan Dao still needs to be pacified, it is better to discuss it slowly, Hebei Dao has been corrected and lacks a Jiedu envoy, please think about it." Zhang Xiang spoke up, coveting Jiannan Province and Hebei Province, he and Yang Xiang's interests are the same, and they both want to cut benefits from the two regained.

"Hebei Province was taken back by Zhuang Qing, what do you think?" King Yu was full of interest, and just now Zhuang inquired about that paragraph, and the hundred officials said quietly, which made him quite happy.

"When did Hebei Dao get it back, didn't it exchange it for Chengguo?" Zhuang Xun was surprised.

"Chengguo's document said that as the dowry of the daughter of the Li family, Li Ruji, marry Yu Guo and marry him forever." Jiao Ximing, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and said.

"So most of the officials who are now in charge of Hebei Province are the Li family, and they are obviously sent back to Yu State, but in fact, they are given to the Li family as a reward, and it is not allowed to hold fiefs within Chengguo, so this policy is made.

Which country will generously use one as a dowry, involving the inquiring father-in-law, it is inconvenient to ask for more, you have your own public opinion in your heart, if you want to appoint officials, it is better to escort the army. ”

"Everyone understands Zhuang Qing's words, is anyone willing to take the army to receive Hebei Province?" The Emperor asked in a loud voice.

Thinking of Li Pingyuan, Baiguan was silent again.
