agent dressed as brother

Liu Xu waited and looked forward to the door of the mansion for a few times in the afternoon but did not see the imperial decree issued. This urgent mood could not be expressed to others. The son was too old to be hugged, so he hugged Zhou Guo in a daze, half dreaming and half awake. In the dream, Zhou Yiyun became the prince in the morning, and a prisoner in the afternoon; he stayed in the palace wearing a bright yellow prince's suit, and never entered the eleven mansion again, leaving them orphans and widows "father". Wake up and open his eyes, Zhou Yiyun looked at him with a smile, Liu Xu thought he was in a dream, turned over and planned to continue sleeping, Zhou Yiyun was slightly stunned, shouldn't the wife hug him, kiss and hug him happily?What do you mean by ignoring yourself?

Liu Xu felt the pain on her face, opened her eyes and looked at the person who hadn't disappeared before her, and asked tentatively, "Zhou Yiyun?"

"Xu'er, come here with me and don't wake up the grandson. @乐@文@小说@小说|" Zhou Yiyun helped him out of bed to the hall, and poured another glass of water to wake him up.

Liu Xu stared at him first, then looked left and right, then approached and asked in a low voice, "Yesterday I heard from Baobao that you are becoming a prince?"

Zhou Yiyun shook his head and replied triumphantly: "Father not only made the crown prince, but also made mother and concubine queen."

"No way," Liu Xu continued to whisper to him, "I waited from noon until dark yesterday and didn't see the palace decree. Is there something wrong?"

Zhou Yiyun held his head and kissed him fiercely. It was the first time he had seen his daughter-in-law's lovely temperament, and she was so rare: "I will finish worshiping the ancestors today and receive the seal of the prince before I can be considered the real prince. , now it’s just a verbal canonization by the father.” Gently pinched Liu Xu’s face: “I ran back as soon as the palace gate opened, I’m afraid you will miss it, and I have to go back later, it’s going to be very busy these days, the father has made a decision After three days, I have to move into the palace."

"Three days? In such a hurry?"

"Hey, I'm a little anxious, and there's nothing I can do about it. Xu'er, you can handle the affairs of the mansion as you please. You can decide who to take and who not to take, but Zhong Lao, you must find a way to persuade him to enter the palace together. I can't let go of him being too old to live alone outside the palace, and I can be the crown prince, and I was also strongly recommended by the loyal elders. If I leave him outside the palace, I will become an ungrateful person. You have to remember one thing, today Don't leave the house."

Liu Xu was inexplicable: "I usually seldom go out of the house, okay?"

Zhou Yiyun put his arms around Liu Xu's waist, and promised earnestly: "Xu'er, I will never leave you behind, and I will help you fight for the title that belongs to you."

Liu Xu broke free from his embrace, and said what she was thinking with a sad face: "I was very happy to hear that you became the prince at first, but after I calmed down and thought about it, I felt uneasy. The emperor chose the prince so quietly and suddenly. People are caught off guard, won't this injustice rebound in the future? I am getting more and more confused about what my father is doing."

"Father did it on purpose, otherwise Zhong Lao would not have appeared in the court. The eldest brother was imprisoned, the second brother was in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the third and eighth brothers were suppressed by the father everywhere, the fourth and ninth brothers had no intention of governing, and the sixth brother Seventh Brother is hard to be proud of, and in the current situation, no one but me can take up this important task, but we can't take it lightly, alas, it is still in the assessment stage."

"But as far as I know, the struggle for power and position is fought vigorously, bloody and intriguing. Enemies, and finally advanced to kill each other and harm their families, is it really no worries as simple as him?

Zhou Yiyun looked at his daughter-in-law's forehead in a daze: "Did you have a nightmare? Where did you hear it?"

"Isn't it?" Liu Xu shook off his hand and asked with some dissatisfaction.

"If you want to fight, it depends on your own strength and the power you hold in your hands. The royal father holds three forces on the big four sides. It is not ruled out that there are people who will give it a go for the mother and concubine. Suppression, and after the emperor abdicates, they can also choose to retreat, enjoy their grandchildren, and enjoy their old age. This is why the emperors of all dynasties prohibited the harem from participating in political affairs. Before doing anything, you have to think clearly whether their mother and concubine will be destroyed because of their misstep, and their bodies will be smashed to pieces."

Liu Xu knocked hard on his head, if he really cared about it, everything would be messed up, but I heard that, but the current dynasty is personally involved, how could he forget the system here, the history books he has read have also easily succeeded to the throne, such as Qianlong Emperor, there is only one competitor, and he was suppressed by Yongzheng. The young casualties in front of him are automatically forgotten. Of course, he is a little bit loved by Kangxi.Liu Xu looked at the person in front of her carefully again. Not only did she have a good face, but she also passed it on to her two sons. Is it God's will?The soldiers came to block the water and flood the soil, so what are you afraid of at this point, Liu Xu stood at attention and gave a military salute, and said in a confident voice: "I promise to complete the mission issued by the prince."

After dawn, Zhou Yiyun, who appeased his good daughter-in-law, hurried back to the palace. At this moment, Liu Xu relaxed and leisurely strolled in the courtyard, planning to use the morning exercise time to reminisce about the past.

Zhou Yiyunxiong accepted the imperial edict with high spirits. For the first time, he stood in front of the ancestors at close range, and made the oath with a smile on his face. He followed Zhou Yuhuang to the main hall.

Looking at this happy son, Zhou Yuhuang sighed: "I don't know if the previous emperors of the Great Zhou would blame me for giving the crown prince to a prince who can only laugh and laugh silly."

Zhou Yiyun didn't want to, and stuck his neck to argue: "Father, you really misunderstood my son, you just want to make a good impression on the elders, so my ancestors will be in a better mood if you smile more?"

Zhou Yuhuang rolled his eyes, he really didn't understand how he came up with these ideas, he acted in a mess, there was no charter, not only the appearance was similar, he calmed down and asked, "When are you going to the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

"It's all up to the father to decide."

After leaving the main hall, Zhou Yiyun looked at the sky speechlessly. Does the emperor need to be so anxious? Does he have to go to work immediately? He still wants to go out of the palace to have a look. They knew that in the future they would have to rely on Bao Bao’s salary to support the people in the Taiwo, alas... Zhou Yiyun’s spirits rose again as soon as he entered the household department, and he helped Lao Qi to express his dissatisfaction: "Seventh brother, what are you doing? We brothers don't need to be so polite."

"Your Highness, this is against the rules."

Seeing Lao Qi bowing his head and praising his minister, Zhou Yiyun felt that it was an eyesore, and pulled him aside: "Seventh brother, it is thanks to your recommendation that my brother can become this prince, isn't it, brother, I will never forget this love in my heart. You see that my younger brother arrived at the household department for the first time, what advice do you have?"

Seeing his usual smirk, Lao Qi said, "You are a prince now, so you have to look like a prince. See how you look like now."

"Seventh brother, don't be old-fashioned, tell me, this is your place."

The seventh general Zhou Yiyun invited Zhou Yiyun into the office room, and after drinking half a cup of tea, he pointed to this room: "This is my territory. When I first came to the household department, I was just like you. I was full of joy and wanted to do something. You Look at those old courtiers outside, they followed their father and came here together. On the surface, they are respectful and polite to us princes, but in reality they are very stubborn. At the beginning, Brother Seven, I also wanted to cut the mess quickly. Returning home, in the end I had to reprimand my father, saying that I was incompetent and could not convince the crowd."

"Tsk tsk," Zhou Yiyun said with disdain on his face, "Seventh brother, I really don't blame my brother for saying that you have been here for so many years, and you haven't developed yourself?"

"You think they are stupid. If you want to keep your position and benefit your children and grandchildren, the first thing is to eliminate differences. Seventh Brother doesn't say much, you will understand soon. Speaking of Prince..."

Zhou Yiyun squinted and stared: "Privately, I am your eleventh younger brother. Seventh brother, if you are so polite, we can't talk normally."

"Okay, eleventh brother, how did you attack the household department when you became the crown prince?"

Zhou Yiyun hooked Lao Qi's shoulder with a majestic expression: "Seventh brother, now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, we don't take the Ministry of Households seriously, but we have to guard against it. To put it bluntly, if there is a war, we will not be able to submit military supplies. The consequences will be unimaginable. In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty I am dissatisfied with the food and salaries that the soldiers get, how can I understand the internal operation without putting myself in the shoes of the generals, the seventh brother and we brothers will govern together?"

"You said that the seventh brother understands these things." Looking at the younger brother in front of him, he said with a smile: "You are quite smart. If the sixth brother doesn't talk to you, you will arrange the old twelve in the Ministry of Rites to share the same position with him. Now come again Hubu and Seventh Brother share a share?"

"Brother Seven, what are you talking about?" Zhou Yiyun clasped his shoulders tightly, "I can't bear to see you buried here all this time. Our brothers have really done something, and we can also catch the eyes of the emperor, right?" After finishing speaking, haha Laughed twice: "Seventh brother should have known that my younger brother is smart a long time ago, otherwise he would not recommend me to be the prince."

Lao Qi also lost his restraint, and said honestly: "Do you think you are the only one who is afraid of the fourth brother? You may not remember it. When you were young, you were punished for kicking the shuttlecock, and I was punished for skipping rope." Thinking about the past, Lao Qi shook his head helplessly: "Torture, I see that the fourth brother is all towards you, and I don't want to ask for trouble and follow. You also know that I have always been neutral and mediocre, and I don't choose anyone." The younger brother encouraged him: "You should be a good one if you become one. Among the three princes, Seventh Brother is still optimistic about you. I don't ask you to be as brave and prosperous as your father, but you must also be a benevolent person to benefit the country and the people. "

Zhou Yiyun was moved and finally said a few words that were in his heart. He lowered his posture and said, "Seventh brother, my younger brother will definitely remember what you said."

"Okay, tell Brother Qi what you think."

Zhou Yiyun talked eloquently and explained everything he was thinking in detail, and the seventh brother was also listening in amazement, this old eleven is really not simple, and occasionally expressed his own opinions, the two brothers coincided with each other and made up their minds Make a big deal out of it.If you don’t do it, you don’t know. It’s really inexplicable to implement it. Just like what Lao Qi said, he stood in front of the old ministers of the household department, flattered, groveled, and kept talking. He even said that he has always been sincere to the Great Zhou Dynasty and loyal to Zhou Yuhuang. He didn't want to be rejected when he was old, and he had to give way to others. The old minister was convinced.The two brothers felt that it was time to show their talents, and they worked all night to hand in a satisfactory answer sheet, but the other party just glanced at it and made absurd comments.

Zhou Yiyun was angry and said: "I have been sticking to the old thinking, I don't know how to make progress, I only guard one acre of land, extremely stubborn."

Old Eleven is better than his Seventh Brother, and Old Seven is going to sue others, and Old Eleven has become a defendant, and the Crown Prince who has only been in office for a few days has been impeached, which is unprecedented. Listening to the opinions of others, insisting on going his own way and insulting the ministers, the veterans have been in office for decades and have been law-abiding, how can they invite people to frame them like this."

Lao Qi didn't look sideways at all these processes. He has gone through all these processes, and there is nothing to make a fuss about. Clenching his fists, it is really difficult to know the difficulties if he does not participate in it. At that time, he even gave Twelve an idea. No wonder the effect was not significant. He glanced at Zhou Yifeng who curled his lips, and it seemed that he was someone who had experienced it. The sick cat took a step forward and said to Zhou Yuhuang: "Father, when I was in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, I saw the suffering of the local people with my own eyes, and the officials of the household department just signed in comfortably every day. It is thriving, and the people are making money every day, so I suggest sending a few people to various places, so that they can also see it with their own eyes, and the real thing shall prevail.”

"My lord, the old ministers have been brainstorming and devoting themselves..."

"Who doesn't know the truth." Zhou Yiyun was lazy to listen to their words, and said tit-for-tat: "As you said to be tireless, then let me ask you how many volumes are there in the territory and fields recorded by the Great Zhou, where are they placed, taxation, taxation, etc. Do you know how much food and salaries are distributed every year, and how many floors the soldiers will receive? You are veterans of the household department, and if you can’t answer it, you are dereliction of duty.

"Maybe you can answer the prince's question?" Zhou Yuhuang looked majestic and calmly looked at the kneeling veterans.

"Your Majesty, the old minister knows that he is old and weak, please let the old fellows resign from their official positions and return to their hometowns."

Zhou Yiyun and Lao Qi glanced at each other, and the seventh prince made an exception: "Your servant, please see that the father and emperor have seen that they have dedicated their lives to the Great Zhou Dynasty and granted them what they wished. Knowing the people's livelihood is not as good as electing talents to fill the vacancies."

"Accurate." Zhou Yuhuang gave an order to put an end to these stubborn old ministers. It is a good thing to stick to one's duty. The natural law of man.The old courtier also understood that once this remark was made, it could never be taken back, so he could only bow his head respectfully and thank the Lord Long En. The civil and military officers were shocked, is this the rhythm of changing the dynasty?

The two victors, Lao Qi and Lao Eleven, ignored the gazes of others, and continued to exert their hard-working spirit to return to the household department. As soon as the gate was closed, the original shape was revealed, and Lao Qi stepped forward and slapped: "Eleventh brother, what are you doing?" Okay, how did you know they would use this trick."

Zhou Yiyun took a sip of tea: "Seventh brother, didn't you tell your younger brother that they are used to talking about their old age, how can they have the energy to look through those documents every day when they are old, this is also occupied by my younger brother." It’s cheap, and you can use the Eastern Zhou Dynasty as an example, but you really don’t have any examples to explain it.”

"Eleventh Brother is right. If you ask those Seventh Brothers, they don't know. I'm afraid that Father will also ask me."

"Seventh brother, this is your territory, you are here to win over the talents, and we brothers will discuss what to do."

Lao Qi glanced at him a few times and asked, "You have no one to introduce?"

Zhou Yiyun shook his head, showing off proudly: "I have a great talent under my command, but I am reluctant to give it up for your use."

"Eleventh Brother, this is your fault. A talent cannot be buried, and he has to be seen again."

Zhou Yiyun nodded, taking a glance at Lao Qi was just what he wanted, if he wasn't afraid that Brother Qi would have a lump in his heart, why would he beat around the bush.
