Be an emperor from drawing cards

Chapter 133 Four Girls: Damn Burmese Monkey!

After talking about the household affairs, Wang Pu continued:

"Besides this matter, I would also like to discuss this matter with my colleagues. Who will be elected as the governor of Jiaxing Prefecture?"

As soon as Wang Pu said this, the entire east wing suddenly fell silent, and everyone began to frown and think.

When the Miao people in Jiaxing Prefecture revolted, it goes without saying that the former magistrate would be held accountable and demoted.

But who to recommend as the new prefect of Jiaxing Prefecture is a matter worth considering.

There are three reasons.

First, Jiaxing Prefecture is located in the southwest, where Han and barbarians live together, so the person in charge needs to have a good understanding of the local conditions.

Secondly, after Your Majesty goes to war with Burma, Jiaxing Prefecture will become an important place for grain and grass storage in the rear, and the new governor needs to have strong government capabilities.

Thirdly, this person needs to be valued by His Majesty, otherwise His Majesty will not be able to trust his own rear area to the opponent's hands at will, let alone pass the resolution of the cabinet.

Yu rolled his eyes and was about to speak when he suddenly felt his clothes tighten. He moved his eyes and saw Zhuge Jin beside him shaking his head slightly towards him.

Although he didn't understand what Zhuge Ziyu meant, Yu Fan trusted his friend and could only roll his eyes and shut his mouth.

Seeing Yu Fan's appearance, Zhuge Jin smiled bitterly in his heart.

This Yu Zhongxiang, doesn't he understand how many people he has offended openly and secretly?
As soon as he opens his mouth at this time, no matter whether he is right or wrong, most of the cabinet will object.

By that time, everything that was originally a sure thing will be ruined by this guy's mouth...

After gathering his mood, Zhuge Jin bowed his hand to Wang Pu, who was sitting in the first place, and said:

"Master Wang, I have a candidate for the next official position."

Seeing Zhuge Jin speak, Wang Pu looked him up and down in surprise and said:

"Whatever candidate there is, Tzuyu just says it's okay. As for whether it's suitable, all the adults here can make a judgment."

Everyone present also nodded.

"The lower official recommends Bu Zhi as the head of the household department."

Zhuge Jin said loudly.

"Bu Zhi?"

When Wang Pu heard this, his eyes looked thoughtful like everyone else's.

Needless to say, Bu Zhao's ability is obvious to everyone.

Wang Pu can even say that in terms of political ability alone, as long as he keeps honing his skills for another year or two, he will even be on par with himself.

It is said that Bu Zhao was born in Lingnan and had some unique insights into barbarians and other ethnic minorities.

Let him go to Jiaxing Mansion. Compared with other officials from other backgrounds, the barbarians may be able to accept him more easily.

As for His Majesty, before His Majesty left, Bu Zhao, the head of the household department, was also included in the cabinet, which is enough to show how much he is valued.

Thinking of this, Wang Pu looked at Bu Zhi.

"I wonder what you mean, Zishan?"

Bu Zhao stood up and held his hands in his hands, saying: "It is the original wish of this official to contribute to the imperial court."

"What do your colleagues think?"

Wang Pu asked aloud.

This cabinet is not just for me, the privy councilor and cabinet scholar. If His Majesty is not around, we still have to discuss matters.

"Zi Shan is a good candidate."

"The old man agrees."

"Tzuyu is promoting talents without avoiding relatives!"

Everyone opened their mouths.

"I don't agree."

At this moment, Zhou Rui suddenly spoke.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhou Rui smiled bitterly and said:

"Privy Wang, Grand Scholar Wang, Zishan is my most capable assistant. Once he leaves, this household official will not be able to do anything else! Privy Wang, you don't want to delay His Majesty's plans because of this matter, right?" "

When Wang Pu heard this, he pointed at Zhou Rui with a look of confusion on his face:

"I'm talking to Zhou Shangshu, the Ministry of Revenue is your own business, why did you use this to threaten Wang? Sirs, you guys are here to judge."

Bursts of laughter suddenly erupted in the east wing room.

Zhou Rui spread his hands and said:
"There are too few useful people in the household department. I have no choice, so I came up with this strategy."

"Hey, you, Mr. Zhou, are you picking up Qu?"

Wang Pu looked helpless, feeling angry and funny in his heart, so he could only say:

"Buzishan is the most suitable candidate for Jiaxing Mansion. This is absolutely non-negotiable."

"Then Mr. Wang must compensate me for a candidate." Zhou Rui spread his hands again.

"Master Zhou, how come this important matter of the promotion of imperial officials has become a bargain on the street stalls when it comes to your mouth?" Wang Pu smiled bitterly and did not want to get entangled with this person. He said directly, "Master Zhou has taken a fancy to you. Just tell them which one. As long as the chief officer nods, Wang will never stop him."

Seeing Wang Pu giving in, Zhou Rui didn't waste any time and said directly:

"The dragon does not live with the snake, and the tiger does not travel with the dog. Everyone here knows Bu Zishan's ability. As a friend of Zishan, I don't need to say much about Tzuyu's ability. Tzuyu, come to my household department. how?"

With that said, Zhou Rui looked at Zhuge Jin.

He knew his own abilities very well. He was not expected to be the Minister of the Ministry of Finance at all. He was simply caught up by His Majesty.

In the past, with the help of Bu Zhao, this household department could still sort things out.

Now that Bu Zhi is transferred and becomes the chief officer of a party, naturally he, the superior officer, will not stop him, but there must always be someone to take over Bu Zhi's duties.

Otherwise, if they missed His Majesty's important event, not to mention His Majesty's punishment, the two precious daughters alone would probably blame themselves to death.

On weekdays, Bu Zhi often praised Zhuge Jin in front of him, so as soon as Bu Zhi left, Zhou Rui set his sights on Zhuge Jin, who was still serving in the Ministry of Rites.

Zhuge Jin had no idea that by recommending his friend Bu Zhi, he would be implicated, and he was stunned for a moment.

"Master Zhou, if you ask Ziyu, why not ask Master Cao Huan."

Huang Zhong, who was watching the excitement from the side, couldn't help but said harshly.

Zhou Rui looked at Cao Huan hurriedly.

Cao Huan smiled slightly and raised a finger.

"As long as Mr. Zhou invites all of you to Chu Yulou once, Cao will agree."

Zhuge Jin's performance in the Ministry of Rites these days was noticed by him, the Minister of Rites.It can only be said that letting Zhuge Jin stay in the Ministry of Rites is a complete waste of his talents.Therefore, he was willing to let Zhuge Jin go to Hubu to train for a period of time.

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Lord Cao Huancao is very good at taking advantage of the situation, and he is worthy of being from the Ministry of Rites!

At this time, Zhou Rui couldn't care less about the pain in his body and nodded repeatedly.

"Then it's settled."

Zhuge Jin immediately couldn't laugh or cry. Although he knew that his boss Cao Huan was doing it for his own good, Chu Yulou sold him out in one meal. Isn't this too cheap...

However, thinking that he had his share of the meal, Zhuge Jin sighed secretly and let it go.

After all, with a salary of his level, it is still a bit distressing to want to go to Chu Yulou for a meal.

After everything was discussed, Wang Pu drafted the edict. After everyone signed it, he asked the editor-in-chief to use a broken-wind falcon to send it to Zhao Yu, who was in the Miao territory. After Zhao Yu agreed and stamped his seal, the edict was just released. Officially effective.

…………

"Empress, Gao Diaojun is here."

In Nuanchun Pavilion, Yin Hanwan and Bai Qing'er were chatting.

Since the Zhou sisters entered the palace, the relationship between the two women, who sensed the threat, began to improve.

After looking at each other at Bai Qing'er, Yin Hanhan said: "Please come quickly!"

Soon, the figure of Gao Lishi appeared in front of the two women.

"We have met two empresses in our family."

Gao Lishi, holding a whisk, saluted the two women.

"Our family is here this time to report a happy event to the two ladies."

Although the two women vaguely guessed something, they just didn't dare to confirm it and asked quickly:
"Eunuch Gao, what happy event is this?"

Gao Lishi bowed respectfully to the southwest, and then said: "In reply to the two ladies, just now Master Heba came to our house in person and told us that His Majesty's side had won a great victory and the Miao rebellion was over. Calm down, let us inform you ladies that this heart can be put back."

Hearing Gao Lishi's words, the two women almost cried with joy.

People have a strong-willed mentality in their bones, especially those in the Demon Sect. With Zhao Yu's comeback and the power in his hands, both Yin Hanhan and Bai Qing'er have tied their hearts to Zhao Yu. body.

Now that I heard that Zhao Yu's personal expedition was a complete victory, the heart that had been hanging around all the time since Zhao Yu left the capital finally fell.

"My ancestors bless me, God bless me, and your majesty is safe and sound. It's great."

Bai Qing'er murmured in her heart.

She has a physical relationship with Zhao Yu, and she is more inseparable from Zhao Yu than Yin Hanhan.

"Eunuch Gao, so your Majesty will be able to return to Beijing soon?"

Yin Hanhan asked.

Gao Lishi hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell the truth.

"Your Majesty probably won't be able to come back soon, because Myanmar has already sent troops."

"Damn Burmese monkey!"

Hearing what Gao Lishi said, the two women, who had looked happy just now, cursed in unison.

If it weren't for these Burmese monkeys, His Majesty would have been able to return to Beijing, and the sisters would have been able to see His Majesty earlier.

It's good now that the two countries are fighting together. I don't know how long it will be delayed...

And His Majesty's safety...

Thinking of this, the two women became even more angry.

Seeing the angry looks of Yin Hanwan and Bai Qing'er, Gao Lishi quietly shrank his neck.

"Two ladies, we have to go and inform the two beauties of the Zhou family, and then we will leave."

Hearing that Gao Lishi was going to talk to sisters Zhou Xian and Zhou Jiamin about His Majesty, Yin Hanhan felt a little sour in her heart, but she still nodded and said:

"Eunuch Gao will go on his own, I won't send Eunuch Gao off."

Seeing Gao Lishi leaving Nuanchun Pavilion, Yin Hanhan sighed softly and said:

"If this delay continues, I don't know when His Majesty will be able to return to Beijing?"

"Your Majesty will definitely come back safely," Bai Qing'er said softly, "Senior Sister Wu'er, why don't you and I go to the Ancestral Temple to pray for His Majesty?"

At the beginning of the founding of the country, Taizu of Chu destroyed mountains and temples, and expelled all Buddhist forces from the south of the Yangtze River.

The Taoist sect has always been born, and the Buddhist sect has learned from the past, so its power in Jiangnan is quite low-key.

Buddhism declined and Taoism kept a low profile. As a result, the entire Chu State's faith was dominated by ancestor worship.

In the more than a month after Zhao Yu left Beijing, they and the sisters often went to the Ancestral Temple to pray for Zhao Yu. Occasionally, they would meet the Zhou sisters who also came to the Ancestral Temple to pray for Zhao Yu.

"Forget it, just listen to Junior Sister Qing'er."

Yin Hanhan nodded, and together with Bai Qing'er and only a few personal maids, they headed towards the Ancestral Temple.

At the same time, the Zhou sisters who received the news about Zhao Yu from Gao Lishi, after waiting for Gao Lishi to leave, secretly cursed "Damn Burmese monkeys" and also had the idea of ​​​​going to the Ancestral Temple to pray for Zhao Yu.

In this way, the four girls met in the Ancestral Temple.

The sisters from the Zhou family who arrived later came to the side hall of the Ancestral Temple and saw Yin Hanwan and Bai Qing'er praying for blessings. They quickly stood aside and waited until the two of them finished praying before saluting them.

"Zhou Xian/Zhou Jiamin have met two sisters."

The status of the two of them in the harem was only that of the fourth-grade beauties. Not to mention they were not as good as the imperial concubine Yin Huan, who was the first-grade imperial concubine. Even Zhaoyuan, who was the second-grade beauty from Bai Qing'er, was still far behind.

"It turns out they are the two sisters of the Zhou family."

Seeing Zhou Xian and Zhou Jiamin, although Yin Hanhan was a little jealous, she still had a smile on her face and said, "The two sisters are also here to pray for His Majesty?"

Zhou Xian nodded and said softly:

"The imperial concubine Lan has a very good heart and has guessed the thoughts of our sisters very clearly. It was from Eunuch Gao that I learned the news about Your Majesty. I felt both happy and worried, so I discussed with my sister to come to the Ancestral Temple to give information to Your Majesty. Pray for blessings and hope that the past emperors can bless His Majesty with victory and a safe return."

"The two sisters have this kind of heart. His Majesty will be very happy if he knows about it in the future."

Yin Hanhan nodded and said no more.

"Two sisters, this is not the place to talk in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. It happens that my sister and I have already prayed, so let's take the first step. If you two sisters are free in the future, you can also come to my sister's Nuanchun Pavilion or my Qingqiu Hall. Sit down for a while. There are few people in the palace, so we sisters can talk more if we have nothing to do."

Seeing that Yin Hanwan was unwilling to say anything, Bai Qing'er smiled and said to Zhou Xian and Zhou Jiamin.

"Two sisters, walk slowly. We sisters will have time in the future, so we won't bother you two sisters."

After sending Yin Huan and Bai Qing'er out of the Ancestral Temple, the Zhou sisters returned to the side hall and concentrated on praying for Zhao Yu.

Returning to Nuanchun Pavilion, Bai Qing'er sat for a while before standing up to say goodbye.

After sending Bai Qing'er away, Yin Hanhan just sat on the wide-backed lounge chair, quietly looking at the clouds outside the window in a daze.

"Hey, why is my precious disciple like this today?"

Suddenly, a pleasant female voice sounded in Yin Hanhan's ears.

"Master, Huner just feels a little uncomfortable in her heart."

Hearing Zhu Yuyan's voice, Yin Hanhan said with some dismay.

"Is it because of the little emperor?"

Zhu Yuyan walked to Yin Hanhan, smiled and reached out to pinch her nose.

"Yes and no."

Yin Hanhan raised her head and looked at Zhu Yuyan, with a hint of confusion in her eyes, and murmured:
"Master, although I also know that Your Majesty has a disciple in my heart, for some reason, I just feel a little uneasy in my heart. It seems that one day Your Majesty will leave me."

"Silly boy, this is because you take the little emperor too seriously..."

Zhu Yuyan sighed softly and said.

"Wen'er knows, but this is reality."

Not hearing the sigh in Zhu Yuyan's tone, Yin Hanhan continued to talk to herself.

"For the sect, Your Majesty is the sect and is the greatest help for the sect to grow again; for Weinger herself, His Majesty is the husband that Weinger likes to be. How can Wener not regard His Majesty as the master you are?" , placed in the most important position in my heart. In addition, His Majesty is so young and talented, so many women from this country cannot even enter the palace walls and win His Majesty's favor..."

Seeing the nymphomaniacal happiness on her disciple's face, Zhu Yuyan said angrily.

"You girl, aren't you satisfied with this?"

"However, I am always worried that I cannot tie His Majesty's heart to my disciple."

Yin Hanwan turned around, took Zhu Yuyan's arm and started acting coquettishly.

"Master, you are well-informed and have traveled extensively. Can you give me some advice?"

this girl!
Zhu Yuyan finally understood after hearing what Yin Hanhan said.

Obviously, it was because the young emperor took in several concubines including the Zhou sisters after the New Year, which made this girl worry about gains and losses.

According to her methods, it was easy to deal with the new concubines who entered the palace. It was only because she expected Zhao Yu's reaction after knowing about it that she refrained from using her witchy methods.

With limited means, he had no choice but to give her some advice and consolidate her position in Zhao Yu's heart.

However, even though I, as a master, was very beautiful back then, I had never really pursued a man...

Zhu Yuyan smiled bitterly in her heart, leaned into Yin Hanhan's ear, and whispered something.

After hearing what Master said, Yin Hanhan was so embarrassed that Xiafei's cheeks were filled with embarrassment, and she whispered: "It's just that Huner's "Secret of the Heavenly Demon" hasn't been practiced to perfection yet, and she doesn't want to fail like this. Master, you I didn't see the peak of martial arts back then, so as Master's disciple, Wener must help Master realize this long-cherished wish."

Hearing Yin Hanhan say this, Zhu Yuyan was both angry and moved.

"At this age, I have not yet perfected the "Secret of the Heavenly Demon". Although you girl is indeed slightly more talented than my master, how can you be sure that you will be able to comprehend the last two chapters of "The Secret of the Heavenly Demon" in a few years? Or? Listen to Master and find an opportunity to consummate the marriage with the little emperor. When the time comes, Huan'er, even if you drive him away, I guess he will still stay here in Nuanchun Pavilion and refuse to leave."

When Yin Hanhan heard the end, although her face was ashamed, she still shook her head firmly.

"You girl, how did you learn the stubbornness from being a teacher? There's really nothing you can do about it." Zhu Yuyan sighed, thought for a long time, and then said, "Then Huan'er, why don't you find someone who is innocent and smart? Adopt a smart girl as an adopted daughter, teach her poetry, songs, and knitting skills. When she grows up, she will be presented to His Majesty. This can be regarded as a way to maintain your favor."

At the end of the Early Han Dynasty, the imperial power declined and warlords fought, which made Buddhism flourish.

Since Buddhist children cannot have legal children, they often adopt children to satisfy their parents' desires.

This custom gradually spread from the people to the palace.

With the formation of the three kingdoms of Jin, Qi, and Chu, a dynamic balance was formed between the kingdoms, the society gradually stabilized, and the economy also developed. Coupled with the prosperity of Buddhism in the three kingdoms of Yun, Burma, and Qi, the three kingdoms surrounded by Chu State was inevitably affected.

As a result, with the prosperity of society, the size of the emperor's harem gradually expanded. The concubines in the palace adopted adopted daughters, and this became popular and became an unwritten rule.

Hearing what the master said, Yin Hanhan showed a look of excitement on her face.
