Chapter 8: Wearing the Crown

In the silent court, no one dared to answer the emperor's words and lead the troops to return to Hebei Province?

Hundreds of thousands of Youjun troops were wiped out in Yu State, was it fought by this group of people? I all know that it was Li Pingyuan who fought it, and now I am taking food by myself, can I lead a large army to conquer it?

Is it because the blade in Li Pingyuan's hand is not sharp enough? I still think that my life is too hard, and I am worried that the underworld has no performance.

"It seems that no one wants to." The emperor chuckled, and it was really sad that the people who were clear and non-clear were silent.

"The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and no one is willing to personally lead the army to take back Hebei Province?" King Yu pretended to be angry, and a sadness couldn't help but rise in his heart.

If it's really hyenas, they rush over when they smell blood, and when they see danger, they immediately hide away, are these people running their own country?

I knew it early, but I still felt sad that I shouldn't expect anything from these people.

His question again still couldn't alarm these ministers, and of course there were no shameless ministers who stood up and said that Hebei Province had become a country.

"Yang Xiang, Zhang Xiang, what do you think?" King Yu asked the two prime ministers.

Yang Xiang stood up first and replied to King Yu: "At present, the treasury is empty, the soldiers are weak, and the war is rash, which is not good for the country, it is better to rest for a few years and then make plans." ”

"The minister believes that Hebei Dao is the price of asking Chengguo to make a move, and he hastily recovers it, but it makes Yu Cheng give birth to a gap, and let Zhuang Yushi, who contributed to this matter, bear the name of injustice, which needs to be carefully considered." Zhang Xiang slipped his head a little and pushed the pot to Zhuang Xun.

Anyway, the attitude of the two is very clear, if you don't come back, you don't want it.

"That's it, that's it, so be it." King Yu just asked the two of them to make a statement, and the topic was originally terminated.

This is how the court meeting should end, Zhuang Xun guarded the fruits of victory and repelled the group of evil wolves.

"Jiannan Dao is so dangerous, it is better to let Zhuang Yushi exchange with other ministers who are old and serious, and use the Praetorian Guard to clear the bandits in Jiannan." I really don't want to be cheap and can't get it, the head of the household left Lang Chang Shu proposed.

His position is the position where Zhuang Xun was blocked from sitting at the beginning, and he is also a clear person, and now in this situation, he wants to show himself.

"Thank you for your understanding, and I am willing to exchange questions, after all, in the face of the pressure of the Youguo invasion at any time, Mrs. Jiang sees that her support is not reciprocated, and she already has the intention of evacuating, why don't I exchange with the adults? Please turn the tide, my lord. Zhuang Xun took the initiative to say to Chang Wen that he was very happy to give up.

"This officer is not good at military affairs." After listening to Zhuang Xun's first sentence, the newly appointed Hubu Zuo Shilang was happy at first, after all, Jiedu Jiannan, staking land, how much benefit, but when he heard the back, the whole person's face darkened.

Turn the tide, how can you turn the tide.

It's easy to say that Mrs. Jiang's support for the withdrawal is good, the Youguo army is attacking, who can keep himself, and he is not Li Pingyuan's son-in-law, and the people of Youguo take into account Li Pingyuan's thoughts.

Damn, it's closed, the current Jiannan Dao, only Zhuang Xun can control it, with the support of big businessmen, and his father-in-law's background is all over the sky, which can deter Youguo.

"Zhuang Qing, you are all second-grade officials, and you have to exchange with second-grade officials, I don't know which Shangshu is willing to exchange with Zhuang Qing." King Yu spoke out to end Chang Shu's embarrassment, of course, not to relieve him, but to make it impossible for other people to get off the stage.

Abandon the position of Shangshu and go to a broken place to be a prefect, no one can be so crazy, and everyone should not hear King Yu's words.

"No one wants to sweep away the bandits for me?" The emperor asked knowingly.

"The minister is willing, but the mountain bandits are cunning, and Jiannan is withering at this time, and it will take more time." Zhuang Xun stood up and took the initiative to say.

It's not that I don't suppress the bandits, it's that they're too cunning and it will take a lot of time.

"Sure enough, at this critical juncture, Zhuang Qing is still young and promising, and he is willing to bear this burden." King Yu said with emotion, the yin and yang in the words contain everyone.

"For those things that are within one's duty, the grace of the Holy One's exaltation must be repaid with all his might." Zhuang Xun said humbly.

"It's hard to govern Jiannan, what else does Zhuang Qing want?" King Yu nodded with satisfaction, and then said gracefully.

The Manchu Dynasty is stupid, are you so favored? Zhuang Xun's words in the court actually seem to be very rebellious, the emperor is still so partial, they are all anxious as courtiers.

"The minister Qilu, the minister led the Jiannan Road, in order to ensure the return of the people and resettle, and restart the people's livelihood, he temporarily recruited the scholar Liangcai as the county magistrate, governed all over the country, and resumed production. Zhuang Xun's words are even more presumptuous, anyway, the officials of the Ministry are now gritting their teeth.

But in this atmosphere, no one can object, and if you want to go to Jiannan Road?

They have the ability to enclose land and occupy the land, but they don't have the ability to resist the Youjun, they just want to eat meat and don't want to be beaten. Do you want to play so big.

And such an excessive request, how could King Yu agree, you just secretly appoint officials, and you still want to put it on the table, and you still want the emperor to agree to you, this emperor is not a fool, let you be so easily divided.

"Yes, special treatment under special circumstances, you go back and give the registration form to the ministry." King Yu did not hesitate and readily agreed.

This directly stunned other people, you don't care about such excessive requirements? Do you want Jiannan to become an independent kingdom of his inquiry? He's your own son.

"Your Majesty, these have not been examined, and there is no recommendation from the county, please investigate for a while." Lu Zejun, the secretary of Dali Temple, spoke out to dissuade him, but he had no choice but to speak out.

After this step is really completed, the court officials really have no ability to meddle in the affairs of Jiannan Dao, after all, the team is complete, there is no shortage of anything, what reason do you use to ask to interfere in the counties under the rule of others.

So all everyone thinks in their hearts is, when we find a way to get Jiannan, how can you interfere after you have sealed the official?

King Yu is betrayal of Ye Tian is heart is not painful, with a goal, so that he can be less afraid of thunder, he is ready to follow the example of the ancient kings, where can he manage this, and even be happy to see it.

"What else to investigate, can not escape under the pressure of the mountain bandits, stabilize the people, virtue has been tested, no fame and fortune are awarded, and there is a loss of talent, who will help Zhuang Qing govern Jiannan Dao? It's not impossible for you to go if you are willing to go, Lu Qing, are you willing to go? King Yu said bluntly.

"The old minister is willing to go to assist Zhuang Jiedu, but the old minister has reached the age of begging bones, and it may be difficult to complete such a heavy trust." Lu Zejun said hurriedly.

"There is no one in the court to go to, but there is no reward for those who do things, how can there be such a reason." He sneered and ignored it.

A court meeting fell like this, and a large number of officials beat their chests, obviously having nothing to do with them, but they seemed to have lost an unknown amount of something, and they were depressed.

Zhuang wanted to leave after the meeting, but the eunuch stopped him and took him to the apse.

He saw the white-bearded Taoist priest, faintly and somewhat familiar.

"It's been a long time, Jiedu." The national teacher first greeted him.

"Who is the Dao Chief?" Zhuang Xun couldn't remember him anymore.

"Old Dao Getan, as the national teacher of Yu State, calculated a hexagram for the festival last year." The national teacher said with a smile on his face, his eyes were gentle, he looked at Zhuang Xun, and nodded his head.

Zhuang Xun was in a trance, and his memory flashed, and the Taoist priest who persuaded him to stay in Yin Du last year suddenly closed his face.

"Old fairy, it turned out to be you, you are a national teacher, it's rude." Zhuang Xun bowed and said that this was the first time Zhuang Xun had officially met Ge Tan.

The national teacher has not stood in front of the stage for a long time, and has even been hidden behind the scenes for many years, his reputation is not obvious, Zhuang Xun does not know his weight, and Siqin Mi probably does not know much about it.

"You don't have to be polite, please sit down, Your Majesty's summons will come soon." The national teacher invited Zhuang Xun to sit down and said.

"This doesn't look like a hospitality, is there something Your Majesty is asking about?" Zhuang Xun said suspiciously, and his heart was full of doubts.

Today's words in the court can be described as extremely rebellious, and they were also instructed by King Yu to let him say that he would help him keep the two ways, and the focus would be on embarrassing the officials.

That's why he said that there are many bandits in Jiannan, and he originally planned to be softer on the surface and agree to let them actually see Jiannan's bandits.

There is also the issue of official establishment, which was also requested by King Yu on his own initiative, although it solved a trouble for the interference of court officials, but he did not feel urgent, and it seemed that he did not know what to do and was ambitious.

He doubted that King Yu was fishing, and he might not be the bait, but the fish that was caught, so now he felt like he was walking on thin ice, and he had already bitten the bait anyway.

For fear of getting out a few guards, taking down him, a person with a resentful heart, and convicting him according to his ambitions in the court, after all, after what he did just now, it seems that there is nothing wrong with saying that he has an antipathy.

Because his own image in the court is that he relies on external forces and has a tendency to be divided, he can't find a young envoy who can't find the sky and the earth.

As for why he is so obedient, if he doesn't behave like this, he will be disobedient.

"If there are good things, don't worry about the festival, the great good thing can help the festival to reorganize the mountains and rivers, and help the building to fall." The national teacher smiled, looking quite kind, and Zhuang Xun was also appeased by this.

"Reorganizing the mountains and rivers, is it to give Jiannan Province any support? It is indeed full of difficulties, the wife wrote a letter that she really lacks everything, lacks people and things, and the most important thing is the lack of food, and the people can barely eat, but basically they can't eat enough. Zhuang Xun's mind didn't think so far, he only thought of his own one-third of an acre.

"Jiedu really cares about the people." The national teacher's satisfied chin.

"Anyway, it's not that I care about the people, I just think that they are doing well, at least they are full, and I don't feel guilty about enjoying myself or eating, because I am supported by them."

Zhuang Xun shook his head, he knows who he is, he is not the kind with high ideological consciousness, for example, he can enjoy the three masters and servants of Li Ruxi, which shows that he is not a saint.

He doesn't hide his lust, at least in the Three Kingdoms of Chengyu, it's not a moral stain, and it can be said to be a romantic act, after all, it's not completely ancient China, and even ancient China has a period of time.

However, he is not a lone man and a thief, he prefers that he can eat meat, others can drink soup, and when he enjoys the life of a feudal landlord, the people under his rule can also eat all day long.

"The original intention of the festival has not changed." The national teacher recalled the conversation with Zhuang Xun and said that at that time, his status was meager and he was still helpless, and Zhuang Xun, who had a famous name, was like this, and now he is sitting on two roads, and Zhuang Xun, who is the envoy of the festival, is still like this.

"What is the original intention, but it is a conscience, anyway, I can't do the kind of action that my people under my command want to die or not, and I can still scrape from them." The national teacher seemed to have an affinity, and many words were said involuntarily.

"It's good, it's good, it's like a benevolent monarch." After hearing this, the national teacher praised and said.

"National teacher, this can't be nonsense." Zhuang Xun raised his head vigilantly and looked around, but there was no one, and the eunuchs and palace maids were far away, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, they didn't hear it, and you will understand it soon." The national teacher smiled, looking at Zhuang Xun's immature face, he was two years younger than the emperor's youngest son, but he didn't expect that the emperor would choose him in the end.

"What do you know, the national teacher ......"

"National teacher, my lord, please be in the saint." The eunuch said to the two of them after entering the door.

Following the eunuch through the corridor, in front of a palace, he opened the palace door, made a gesture of invitation, and stayed in place.

Zhuang Xun looked at the dark palace and felt eerie, and did not dare to move forward, the national teacher stepped forward, and Zhuang Xun could only follow and walk into this deep palace.

Walking into the palace, there seemed to be a bright light in the dark palace, following the national teacher, the light gradually expanded, and when he looked closer, he saw a huge stone glowing with fluorescence, King Yu stood next to the stone, his eyes were empty, and his thin body was like a clay sculpture.

The lights were lit, and the candlelight illuminated the palace, and the windows on all sides were sealed with wooden planks, so that the light was impermeable, and the attendants lit the lamps one by one, until the last one was lit, and then they withdrew in turn.

"Holy." Zhuang Xun was about to salute, but the national teacher stopped him.

Zhuang Xun was forced to look at the stone together, and when he looked at it, it was actually a whole piece of Shoushan jade, and he was a little shocked, how much is such a big Shoushan jade worth.

"Zhuang Qing, the national teacher...... I'm sorry, I'm fascinated. King Yu was full of apologies, and Zhuang Xun reacted at this time.

"The ministers see the saints." Zhuang Xun reacted and made up the number of gifts.

"Okay, you and I don't have to see each other." King Yu helped Zhuang Xun up, compared to the appearance of needing someone to carry him in the main hall, in this room, King Yu has sound limbs, and he is very powerful to help people.

Zhuang Xun thought for a while that King Yu wanted someone to carry him to the palace, after all, looking at his solid steps did not look like he was seriously ill.

"Thank you to the Holy Lord, I don't know what the Holy Lord's ministers will explain." He couldn't stay in this eerie environment for a moment, and he felt cold in his body.

"Don't be nervous, calm down, and show the momentum you just argued with the hundred officials in the court." Yu Wang Le said.

"I was able to say the hundred officials speechless just now, refreshing, refreshing, a group of hyenas, when there is danger, one is faster than the other, and when grabbing the official position, one is higher than the other."

King Yu laughed, the officials were speechless, and he didn't dare to answer, but he was so happy, today was also a few times when he laughed happily, fighting with these people, all over the house, but the strongest feeling of refreshment is today.

"It's all according to Your Majesty's will, the minister doesn't dare to be so bold." Zhuang Xun smiled bitterly, this kind of aggression is still forced by King Yu, he is more restrained, and the key people are quiet, where would he say to people with such fanfare, if you dare to come, you will be killed.

"It's done in moderation, but you can't do it without a little ambition and courage!" King Yu patted Zhuang Xun on the shoulder and encouraged him.

"What ambition does the minister have, governing Jiannan Road well is the minister's greatest vision." Zhuang Xun is very loyal in front of King Yu.

"I know, I knew last time you asked me to send officials to help you govern Jiannan Dao, but you are still a little ambitious about the situation you are about to face." King Yu encouraged again.

"I understand." I always feel that today's King Yu looks weird, whether it is his physical condition or attitude, he agrees for the time being.

"Why don't you wear the python robe I gave you today?" King Yu did not answer him, but asked him about his clothes today.

"I hope that the Holy God will forgive your sins, and the clothes given by the Holy God have been destroyed in the rebellion of the kingdom." He Tan wore it to seek death, but his clothes were ruined.

"If it's ruined, it's ruined, it's a big deal, I've prepared a new one for you, go put it on and try it." King Yu stopped Zhuang from asking for guilt and pointed to the box.

"Yes." Zhuang Xun opened the box, and at first glance he saw the crown of twelve, his hand shook, and the box closed.

"Holy Lord, the father-in-law may have taken the wrong clothes." Zhuang Xun pressed the box and said.

"That's right, it should fit your size, according to the clothes you chose last time, wear it and try it." King Yu said affirmatively.

"Holy Lord, inside is the crown robe!" Zhuang Xun cried with a sad face, he understood what the crown dress was.

"I know, if you try it, how many people have thought about it all their lives, but they don't have a chance." King Yu said with a smile, on his withered face, this smile made Zhuang Xun hesitate.

"Your Majesty asks you to wear it, so you can wear it for him to see." The national teacher opened his mouth and agreed.

"No, the minister doesn't dare, this, it's ......"

"If you want to wear it, you will wear it, and it won't hurt you, and you will be told something important when you wear it......" King Yu pretended to be angry.

"No, well, the minister has trespassed ......" is a traverser, and he is not particularly in awe of etiquette.

He slowly tried on the clothes, put the crown dress on his body, left and right moon toad golden crow, cloud dragon pattern, and did not understand the place where King Yu gave on-site guidance, and slowly put this coat on his body.

Don't pinch and feel uncomfortable in it, especially the board on top of his head, it is really heavy, the beads in front of him are dangling, he can only force himself to stand up straight and wait for the trial.

This dress is also very heavy, no wonder the emperor needs to be helped to walk in this body, and the emperor in the film and television drama is swaying in the crown dress, as if he can't feel the weight, which can only show that the crown dress has cut corners.

"The posture of the dragon and the phoenix, the posture of the dragon and the phoenix......" King Yu instructed Zhuang Xun to put on the crown and was very satisfied with his works.

"Holy Lord, why is that? The minister was terrified. Zhuang Xun was stuffed with a piece of jade Ruyi in his hand, and couldn't help but say.

How do you feel that there is a big conspiracy waiting for you, no, King Yu, he wants to go back to Jiannan Dao, and he is not not not going to give it, there is no need to go around in a big circle, dress yourself in this kind of clothes, what does he want.

"I have already decided, I want to entrust Yu Guo to you Aiqing." After observing for a long time, King Yu seemed to have found his young self in the mirror.

Slightly immature, wearing a crown dress for the first time, I was still a little scared, feeling the weight of this dress, but I still straightened up and accepted the worship of hundreds of officials.

Zhuang Xun was a little more uneasy than himself, because in terms of identity, it really didn't match.

"Holy Lord, do you want ministers to assist the government? The minister is willing, this crown dress is too scary, can the minister take it off? Zhuang Xun felt that his body was heavy to death, and he wanted to quickly pull off this piece of clothing.

"Wear more, I will see more, what will the emperor of Yu Country be like in the future, no, maybe it can't be called Yu State." King Yu said with a smile, smiling and smiling is very loving, even Zhuang Xun's heart is about to jump out.

What is this saying? What future emperor of Yu State, he knows that he has an imperial vein? Do you know that you are actually plotting against his family?

Why don't you take yourself down and behead yourself?

"Confused? Please make it clear to the Holy Lord......" Zhuang Xun said fearfully, and his feelings were eighty percent true.

"Wearing this dress, you can only kneel to the emperor and queen of heaven in the future." King Yu held Zhuang Xun to prevent him from kneeling, and at the same time warned him.

"To put it simply, I am not satisfied with all my children...... Zhuang Qing, you are very virtuous, I am willing to follow the actions of the ancient saint kings, and Zen is located in you. King Yu took two steps back, and the more he looked at it, the more pleased he became.

"No, no...... The minister doesn't have this ability...... "Zhuang Xun's heart is about to jump out, it's too exciting, this kind of thing Chengguo, the king of Chengguo who has been specially approved to resurrect debts, hasn't done it yet, but Yu Guo did it first."

"I asked Qing to wear this clothes today, just to dispel Qing's doubts, not a temptation, so Qing should not have any worries."

King Yu said very frankly, and he himself knew that his ideas were shocking.

"If you are not a minister, you don't have the heart, and you don't have the ability, please choose another talent, the children of the royal family, there are many talents." Zhuang Xun refused. If I want to do it, I have to be strong and strong, how dare I take what others give me, Zhuang Xun thought silently.

"Don't give up, Your Majesty is sincere to let the king be located in the festival, look at the kings and the festival, the festival is the most virtuous, most of the children of the clan are corrupted by life, or talented, but not enough than the ability of the festival." The national teacher opened his mouth and said that he looked convincing only with the immortal wind and bones.

"No, I don't understand, why?" Chengguo's resurrection only gave himself one, are you already going to send the country here?

"The Mandate of Heaven of the Yu Kingdom has been lost, and a new Mandate of Heaven is needed...... At present, His Majesty and Lao Dao have taken a fancy to the festival, and in order to reduce the resistance of the festival to obtain the Yu country, they are specially entrusted with the advice today. The national teacher began to explain the Mandate of Heaven.

This thing Zhuang Xun said once through the reincarnation king, and he was quite familiar, but it was also the first time he knew that King Yu turned into a demon and beheaded the destiny of Yu Kingdom, and the big stone in front of him put King Yu's ontology demon body.

The confusion became clear.

"I don't understand, how the Mandate of Heaven was regained, and why the two of you fancy it." Zhuang Xun asked the national teacher.

"Kill the new king, there will be a mandate of heaven, this is a masterpiece, as for why the festival is chosen, in addition to the festival degree, there is indeed a desire to help the world, probably the festival is behind the country." The national teacher said and King Yu's analysis.
