From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 776

The young people in the Imperial Academy have gradually developed new ideas, and the leading group of them have even put them into action.

This phenomenon is very good, and it also indirectly shows that the reform of the Imperial Academy is in line with the needs of the times.

The passion of young people always makes people excited and gives people confidence.

"The haze has been lifted!"

Zhou Yuan held Jianjia's hand and got on the carriage, and said with emotion: "The pressure in my heart has inexplicably reduced a lot. Even if I failed in the south, even if the failure was particularly tragic, what can I do?"

"With such young people, Dajin can still step on the sea again in the future, fight again and again, and finally win."

"We have no foundation on the sea. Even if we fail, it's nothing more than starting over."

"As long as the reform of the Imperial Academy goes smoothly, as long as we study hard, there will be a time for revitalization."

Zhao Jianjia smiled and said: "It seems that this trip to the Imperial Academy did not disappoint my husband."

Zhou Yuan said: "Not only is it not disappointing, it can be said that I am very surprised."

"This makes me more determined to persist in reform. It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. Talents are the foundation of this land."

This sentence obviously made Zhao Jianjia's smile even stronger. Since the two of them were together, she has never been able to help her husband, and she is inevitably a little frustrated.

But this time, it seems that I really have some use? Hehe!

She was very happy and couldn't help asking a lot of questions about things outside of Dajin, such as the west and the south, the ocean situation, etc.

Although she didn't understand it at all, she couldn't help but feel a little excited when she heard her husband talk about these magnificent stories.

In the next few days, Zhou Yuan gradually calmed down and began to plan for the south.

At the same time, he also accompanied Jianjia and Xiao Wenxin, enjoying the joy of family.

Bringing Xiao Wenxin to the Qinshui Princess's mansion to play, the two children met and stared at each other, which was very interesting.

It can be clearly felt that the two children obviously pulled the relationship between Qinshui Princess and Jianjia. Although they had a good relationship before, they became closer after becoming mothers.

Zhou Yuan spent two days taking Jianjia, Ziyuan, Qingyuan, Bishui, Qinshui and the Bai sisters out for a picnic and had a lot of fun.

Of course, the one in the palace seemed to be jealous, and frequently asked Zhuang Xuansu to come and invite him to the palace.

Zhou Yuan was too lazy to care, and it was not until May 24 that he finally entered the Ziwei Palace again.

For this reason, the eldest sister got angry.

"Look who this is? Isn't this the military commander of our Great Jin Dynasty! He is holding the emperor hostage to command the princes. Even the emperor's imperial edict cannot invite him."

She put down the memorial in her hand and said, "With a bunch of women around you, you don't care about the lives of others. Have you forgotten that there are still people living in the palace?"

Zhou Yuan smiled and hugged her in his arms, saying, "Spend time with your family, so you won't get angry."

"I dare not."

Empress Zhaojing pushed him away, put her hands on her waist, and said, "Where Dare to lose your temper, I dare not bear the punishment of the Duke again. "

Zhou Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "Okay, okay, I will stay in the palace tonight and talk to you about the situation in the sea."

"No, I don't like it."

Empress Zhao Jing pouted and said: "Don't think I am the kind of tyrant obsessed with love affairs. I have something to ask you to come. The cabinet has discussed it and it is still Zhongwu."

"Tomorrow morning court will officially announce to the world, Weiguogong, from now on, you are Zhongwu County King."

Zhou Yuan frowned and said: "Two-character king?"

"Oh! You still want a single character?"

Empress Zhaojing laughed in anger: "Do you know how much pressure I have to bear to confer you a two-character prince? Deng Bochi and Wang Lun sent more than ten messages asking me to withdraw my order, and the royal family even brought up their ancestors."

"I asked them to tell you in person, but they dared not. They dared to bully me, the emperor."

"The single-character prince is usually used by princes. You want to be a prince of a different surname? Then you might as well be the emperor. I'm really fed up with this mess. "

Zhou Yuan hugged her and tried to persuade her: "Okay, don't be angry, don't be angry, Zhongwu County Prince is good, I am Zhongwu Earl and Zhongwu Marquis. "

"As for the cabinet and the royal family, hey, when have you ever been afraid of them? It's nothing more than venting your anger at this moment, I will bear it, okay?"

Empress Zhaojing blushed, then snorted, and said: "Anyway, the emperor's job is boring, and he can't make the decision."

Okay, after talking for a long time, it's still back to this topic.

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "Why don't we let Prince Jing do it?"

Empress Zhaojing said anxiously: "Is he worthy of it?"

"At least he is obedient."

"When have I been disobedient?"

Empress Zhaojing said aggrievedly: "A county prince title is worth a lot of money.I let you make the decision yourself, what else do you want?"

"I haven't seen you for eight or nine days, and you still think you're right?"

"I gave you the power and my body, so you don't care about others."

Zhou Yuan pinched her face and blinked his eyes and said, "It turns out that Queen Zhaojing is jealous."

"I'm not jealous, I just dislike you for not doing your job and hanging out with women all day."

She insisted on her hard mouth, and then quickly changed the subject: "I don't want you to accompany me tonight. After... my internal strength has increased after the double cultivation. I have been practicing with Xiaozhuang these days to slowly digest it."

"You have benefited more than me, so you can't waste it. You have to practice quickly!"

Zhou Yuan said, "Don't worry, I'm practicing every day. I haven't been doing anything recently. I've been thinking about the situation in the south."

Queen Zhaojing felt better, and then suddenly lowered her voice and said, "I heard... that Xue girl from the Bai family has a good tongue? "

Zhou Yuan was startled and exclaimed: "You even asked about these things!"

Empress Zhao Jing said: "The inner guards report everything, and I didn't ask about it on purpose."

"I'm fine, I just asked."

Her face was very unnatural.

Zhou Yuan gently pinched her hips and whispered: "Then I'll let you experience my eloquence tonight? I guarantee you will be satisfied."

Empress Zhao Jing's face flushed, and then whispered: "No... I don't like that... But you can sleep with me, I have been suffering from insomnia these days. "

That's what women are like. Even if they want to, they won't say it out loud, but find other excuses.

The next morning court, he was crowned king.

No one objected, and no one dared to object.

It was just a procedure, and the morning court ended smoothly.

Zhou Yuan didn't leave. He waited until everyone had left before looking at Empress Zhaojing, who was sitting on the dragon throne, wearing a dragon robe and a hair crown.

He had a bold idea!

But a voice shattered his dream: "King Zhongwu, I've been waiting for you for a long time, why haven't you come out yet?"

It was the voice of that old bastard!

Zhou Yuan's face was distorted.

Empress Zhaojing laughed with her hands covering her mouth, shook her head and walked away slowly.

Zhou Yuan strode out of the Golden Palace, saw the old bastard, gritted his teeth and said, "Old thief! If you have something to fart, just fart! But you'd better pay attention! Don't let me beat you up in front of the Golden Palace! "

The old bastard was full of confusion.

I didn't target him today, why is he so angry?

The old bastard couldn't figure it out, so he could only say in a deep voice: "I want to ask, when will the King of Zhongwu go south?"

Zhou Yuan said: "It's none of your business!"

The old bastard said: "In the past six months, Songhe has often communicated with me, talking about the situation of the coastal trading ports. The foreigners are domineering, arrogant, and shameless, which is unbearable. "

"I would like to ask the King of Zhongwu to go south as soon as possible to vent the anger and find dignity for the people along the coast of my Great Jin."

"Even if our Great Jin is in decline, it is not the turn of foreign barbarians to come here to show off their power!"

"Please, King Zhongwu, kill their spirit! Boost our national prestige!"

He bowed with a gloomy face and said solemnly: "Thank you, old man. "

Zhou Yuan was a little dazed.

When did this old man learn to speak human language?

But looking at his back, Zhou Yuan really felt the power of blood in the moment of daze.
