Bracelet space through the past and present? Take it

Learned that the Zhou family had come to Beijing.

Xiao Yan waited for two days before summoning the Zhou family in his busy schedule.

Although they were said to be a family, in fact, only Zhou Laoer and his wife, and Zhou Lingling entered the palace.

The old patriarch and his family were going back to Yunshui County, and the eldest brother Zhou Chi also went back with them.

If nothing unexpected happens, the new emperor will hold a special imperial examination after he ascends the throne.

Originally, based on Zhou Chi's merits, he could be directly granted an official position, but neither Zhou Chi himself nor Qi Zhu recommended that he take this path.

There are certainly reasons behind this, and everyone has their own ideas.

Although the Yuan Dynasty was plagued by natural disasters in the past two years, it was indeed the time when the country's national strength was at its peak, so the construction of the Yuan Dynasty Palace was also magnificent.

The few of them first got off the carriage at the palace gate, then took a sedan chair, and then, led by a eunuch, passed through the palace walls and arrived at the Qinzheng Hall.

This is where the new emperor lives. The old emperor is now honored as the Supreme Emperor. He wanted to move out of the main hall where he lived, but was refused by the new emperor.

"Mr. Zhou, Madam, Miss Zhou, we have arrived at the Qinzheng Palace."

Following the eunuch's reminder, the few of them saw the magnificent palace in front of them.

The gate of the Qinzheng Palace was wide open, and there was a guard every three steps outside the gate. The Northern Army belonging to the new emperor stood solemnly.

Zhou Lingling narrowed her eyes slightly. They weren't the Imperial Guards...

The young eunuch went to the door and said a few words to the people there.

Upon learning that there was no need to pass on the message, the young eunuch took his family of three into the palace.

Zhou Laoer was a little nervous and almost stumbled while walking, fortunately Chen supported him from behind.

In the Qinzheng Hall, a familiar figure sat at the top, staring at the thing in his hand with a frown.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, and Miss Zhou are here."

When the three of them came in, the old eunuch serving on their left and right gently reminded them.

The Zhou family had already sought instructions from someone, and now they knelt on the ground in an orderly manner.

"I, a commoner, pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"

Xiao Yan immediately came back to his senses, dropped the things in his hands and walked down himself.

"Brother Zhou, sister-in-law, no need to be so polite."

"I've said it before, your family is my savior, and this is always true."

The three of them stood up and followed Xiao Yan to the side hall to sit down.

Eunuch Huang's eyes flashed across the family of three, and he told the young eunuch to go and watch the tea.

"I want some good tea and some snacks and fruits."

He saw that the couple was very ordinary, except for the little girl who looked smart and lovely, but His Majesty valued her very much.

In the past two months, he often summoned General Zhou and mentioned his family from time to time.

To be disrespectful, Your Majesty is not so good-tempered even towards the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.

The old eunuch looked at the family, and Zhou Lingling calmly got to know the situation around the Qinzheng Palace.

Apparently, after two months in Beijing, Xiao Yan still hasn't been able to completely take over the capital.

Xiao Yan first exchanged pleasantries with Zhou Laoer and his wife, and then directly said:

"The Zhou family not only saved my life, but also found new grain and saved the Yuan Dynasty from crisis. Their contributions to the country and the people are outstanding. I wish to confer the title of Earl of Cheng'an on Brother Zhou, a title that can be inherited for three generations."

A huge pie suddenly fell from the sky, making the couple dizzy.

"This, this, this..."

The couple looked at each other, and finally turned their gaze to their daughter.

Although they also wanted to hold on, the matter was too serious and they seemed unable to hold on.

The latter blinked and said without hesitation: "Dad, Mom, His Majesty is so kind. We can only make more contributions to the Yuan Dynasty in the future to be worthy of His Majesty's trust!"

Zhou Laoer nodded dazedly:

"Yes, our family will contribute more to the Yuan Dynasty in the future..."

But both of them knew in their hearts that the one who saved people or donated the new food was not Zhou Laoer, but Zhou Lingling.

Xiao Yan now put both of these things on Zhou Laoer's head.

Zhou Laoer opened his mouth, wanting to say that it was all thanks to his daughter.

He doesn't want any title of uncle or aunt, if he wants a reward, just give it to his daughter.

But Chen's hand fell on his waist again, which made him shudder and close his mouth quickly.

The other two naturally had no objection.

Xiao Yan's gaze fell on the little girl who had been extremely well-behaved since she entered the hall. Seeing that she was full of joy and did not show any reluctance or unwillingness, a smile appeared in his eyes.

Obviously, the little girl did not misunderstand him and understood what he meant.

The new emperor kept some food for them, and the family of three was personally escorted out by Huang Degui in the afternoon.

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Zhou Laoer had rehearsed before, so he was very good at it and handed the old eunuch a thick purse.

Huang Degui smiled so hard that his face was wrinkled, but he stopped smiling without even looking at it.

"My Lord, you are embarrassing me, so I dare to share in your happiness."

Zhou Laoer smiled naively.

The family of three returned home, but the second brother Zhou Yun had not returned yet.

With the grand ceremony approaching, not only are many outsiders coming to the capital, but there are also many envoys from other countries, so security is of particular importance.

Starting from the Northern Frontier, Qi Zhu specially accompanied them for a few days and told the Zhou family every detail of Xiao Yan's journey to and from Beijing.

It turned out that the Northern Army was able to enter Shangjing City quietly because of the blower that Zhou Lingling sent along with other supplies.

Doctor Lao Bai once developed a colorless and odorless powder. After inhaling it, people will quickly become drowsy, but it is harmless to the body.

Hundreds of blowers were deployed by all the secret guards around Xiao Yan. More than half were used in the Jingji camp, and half were used in the Imperial Guards.

When these people woke up as usual the next day, the situation in Shangjing City had already changed.

Attacking the Jingji Camp and the Imperial Guards is a serious crime, tantamount to rebellion, but with the imperial decree of the Supreme Emperor, Xiao Yan does not have to suffer any punishment at all.

Instead, he skipped the issue of crown prince and succeeded to the throne.

Those incompetent princes were imprisoned or demoted.

It seems a little easy up to here, but Xiao Yan’s biggest enemy is not the old emperor, nor his brothers, but those who have complex connections in the court and are unwilling to let go of power.

The old emperor, like raising a Gu, chose the most promising one among his sons and threw him into a difficult place where life and death were at stake.

If this son can survive from there, and even one day stand before him again with his own strength, then his Gu will be cultivated.

Xiao Yan is the poisonous insect.

The old emperor wanted to use this most poisonous poison to transform into the sharpest sword, and deeply pierce those abscesses that had been eating away at the government for so long!

Maybe I didn’t know it before, so I was full of resentment.

But after the old emperor readily passed on the throne and issued the edict of repentance, Xiao Yan and the others understood.

But this understanding does not mean that he actually punctured the abscesses.

On the contrary, a war even more bloodless than that of the northern barbarians has begun again.

This time, Xiao Yan's battlefield is in Shangjing...
