Chapter Thirty-Three Granting Officials
The next day, Xuanshi Hall had a morning court.
The ministers knelt on the short table, with civil servants having literary ranks and military officers having martial orders, orderly and orderly, all together.
The ministers discovered something strange today, that is, when Zhou Yafu saw Dou Ying's face, his face turned long, as if he had a huge grudge with Dou Ying. Dou Ying was still as calm as if nothing had happened. This man was extremely cunning, and he was not invisible to his emotions. No one knew what he was thinking.
However, one thing is particularly noticeable, that is, Dou Ying did not whisper softly as usual, when he saw Zhou Yafu, he stood quietly. What happened between them? The ministers were unclear, and there were many speculations, and there were even speculations on the two of them for the sake of the woman.
Emperor Jing sat upright on the imperial throne and listened quietly to the ministers' discussions. It was not until the ministers finished discussing that he asked: "Is there any memorial?"
The ministers were quiet and no one spoke, so obviously they had no idea what to do.
Emperor Jing glanced at the ministers and finally stopped at Zhou Yafu: "Zhou Yafu, how are your youngest son Zhou Yang happy in the near future?"
"Buzz!"
The Xuanshi Palace suddenly exploded, and the ministers would never have expected Emperor Jing to suddenly ask Zhou Yang, and his mouth was so surprised that he tilted to the side.
"This..." Zhou Yafu didn't turn around for a while, and then he woke up. He didn't hear it wrong: "Back to the emperor, the dog son is still good, but he suddenly suffered from a strange disease recently."
"Has he been cured?" Emperor Jing asked knowingly.
The emperor asked about his well-being, what an honor was. The ministers were both surprised and admirable, and their jealous eyes stopped on Zhou Yafu.
"Thank you for your inquiries, the dog is not seriously injured." Zhou Yafu really wanted to sing loudly. If he could, he would speak as smoothly as possible.
"Well, that's good!" Emperor Jing nodded slightly: "You youngest son, a famous young man who is a fun boy, is not doing his job properly, fights cocks and leaves all day long, and goes out in and out of places of love and miserable life..."
Zhou Yafu's joy turned into nothing in a blink of an eye, and he was ashamed and wished that there was a crack in the ground to penetrate.
The ministers' admiration swept away and immediately turned into gloating.
Only Dou Ying was silent and didn't know what he was thinking.
Just when the ministers were in different moods, Emperor Jing's words suddenly changed: "Now, Zhou Yang has become a different person, who is diligent and studious, and no longer does anything to bully others with power. I feel very comforted. I ordered Zhidu to restrain you ministers, the children of the ministers, starting with the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister sent the innocent Zhou Yang to Jingzhao Mansion to show his example. Although I gave Zhou Yang no title, it was not enough to show his merits. To show his intention to persuade him to advance, I decided to make Zhou Yang a royal official!"
"Officer Lang?"
There was another noise in the hall, and the ministers' eyes were filled with admiration.
Langguan was a senior official of the Han Dynasty. He could be compensated by the sons of the heroes and relatives of the foreigners. He was the lowest-level official of the Han Dynasty. There were not a thousand or eight hundred officials in Chang'an. If he grabbed a bamboo pole and swept the crowd on the street, he might be able to hit several Langguans.
The problem is that such a low-level official does not need the Jinkou edict of Emperor Jing, but only one official can handle it. In front of the ministers, Emperor Jing openly praised Zhou Yang for his progress and asked him to make up for the official position. This is the same as Emperor Jing personally awarded the title, and he has infinite honor and favor.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Zhou Yafu shook his dizzy head and knelt down to thank you.
"Your Majesty, this is not possible." Dou Ying was a little anxious, vaguely knowing that something was wrong, so he was busy speaking out.
"Bang!" Emperor Jing smashed heavily on the imperial desk, stared at Dou Ying, and said sternly: "Dou Ying, what's wrong with it? Are you still thinking about Zhou Yang serving the prince? The prince's attendant is so important. You dare to take the initiative without my permission. You are so brave! Who gave you this courage?"
A word of words seemed to be thundering under the nine earths, and its voice was terrifying.
Zhou Yafu's joy just now disappeared again and felt chill all over. If Emperor Jing pursued this matter, he would have a serious crime!
Emperor Jing had never been angry with Dou Ying, and was so angry, but for the first time, Dou Ying's head buzzed, and she endured the injustice and took all the sins: "Go back to the emperor, I am the one who took the initiative without authorization, please punish him." Now, he would definitely not say that it was the will of Empress Li.
Of course, Emperor Jing knew it very well, but he would not put it in the current situation: "Your salary is fined for half a year! You will return to the court!" He stood up, flicked his sleeves, and turned around and left.
Such a serious crime, only half a year's salary is fined, it's not painful, and Dou Yingsheng's loyalty is very prosperous.
As soon as Emperor Jing left, Zhou Yafu turned around and left. Dou Ying hurriedly chased after him: "Prime Minister stays, Prime Minister stays!"
Zhou Yafu walked non-stop, turned around and stared at Dou Ying, and left quickly. Zhou Yafu was straightforward. Once he was angry, he would feel erotic and make Dou Ying very embarrassed.
Zhou Yafu is good at military affairs and is not good at governing, so Dou Ying helps him a lot. Of course, Dou Ying helps him for the sake of need. Without Dou Ying's help, it would be a problem whether Zhou Yafu, the prime minister, can do it now. Now, the two have a falling out, which is a huge thing. Xuchang, Zhuang Qingzhai and others who are closely watching the prime minister think that the opportunity has come, they look at each other and laugh and leave quickly.
Dou Ying and Zhou Yafu have a good relationship, and are the biggest force in the court and the prince's reliance. Now that the two no longer have a friendship, the position of the prince will not be guaranteed. A person with a sharp mind can see further and is busy making arrangements.
As soon as the news of the two people's evil relationship spread, it seemed as if the soup was pouring snow, and it was unstoppable. All forces were planning to get benefits from it. It was a joy and a sad family.
Zhou Yafu returned home and found Zhou Yang and told Zhou Yang that Emperor Jing personally gave him a remedy. Although the Lang Guan was young, he was also an official, and he was given by Emperor Jing. Zhou Yang was very surprised. Then he thought that the breakup between the Zhou family and the prince was in line with the holy heart, otherwise Emperor Jing would not have done this.
Now that he talked about this idea, Zhou Yafu was not as stubborn as last time, but his tone was a little relaxed: "Maybe!" Although his tone was ambiguous, it was a big improvement compared to last time. Zhou Yang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he found another opportunity, Zhou Yafu would change his mind, and the Zhou family would not be destroyed.
"Yang'er, you have become an official, where is the official!" Xu Ru floated in happily, hugged Zhou Yang, looked at him carefully, and couldn't close her mouth: "Prime Minister, Yang'er has become an official, is he going to have a marriage?"
"Haha!" Zhou Yafu laughed with his beard: "Well, you're right. Oh, by the way, Zhang Zifang has a great-granddaughter, who is both talented and beautiful, knowledgeable and polite. I've seen him, and I'm very satisfied. I'll send someone to propose marriage. Yang'er, you go back first, prepare well, and make an appointment for this marriage after you have a great court."
Zhou Yafu and Xu Ru were just concerned about joy and didn't give Zhou Yang a chance to speak. Zhou Yang had to go home, pull Liu Tie, and start practicing martial arts.
After not practicing for a long time, Xu Sheng quickly walked: "Young Master, someone has come to Tangyi Marquis' Mansion and said he wants to pay homage to you!"
"Marquis Tangyi? Isn't he Ajiao's relative?" Zhou Yang said intimately, with a very sensitive sense of smell. The evil incident between Dou Ying and Zhou Yafu had just happened. Before the noon, people from Tangyi Mansion came. They had been planning for a long time.
This is exactly what Zhou Yang wants. If they don’t come, Zhou Yang will find an opportunity to make friends with them. When he arrived at the living room, he saw a noble man sitting in his living room. He was about twenty years old, wearing a curved hem and a dark dress, extremely luxurious, wearing a two-liang Jinxian crown on his head, holding a huan fan in his hand, an ivory fan bone, and a silk fan, as white as frost and snow.
Her face is like pink, and her face is delicate and tender, better than a good woman. She slapped her in her hand and gently shaking her, and she is a beautiful young man!
When this man saw Zhou Yang coming in, he did not allow Zhou Yang to speak and apologized first: "Chen Xu has met Mr. Zhou! Chen Xu came abruptly, so please forgive me for his crime." Chen Xu, also known as Chen Jixu, is the eldest son of Princess Guantao.
It turned out that he came in person, which shows that the Tangyi Marquis Mansion attached great importance to Zhou Yangzhi. Making friends with Zhou Yang would be equivalent to holding Zhou Yafu back. With Zhou Yafu's support, then the possibility of success in the Tangyi Marquis Mansion would be even greater, and it would be easy to plan!
Zhou Yang remained calm and replied, "Zhou Yang has met Mr. Chen! Please forgive Jian Man's crime!"
"I dare not, I dare not!"
Zhou Yang asked him to sit down and asked, "I don't know what is important to Mr. Chen."
Chen Xu looked relaxed and smiled: "It was just a few days ago that the sister Jiao was helped by the young master, but she did not suffer any loss. My father asked Mr. Zhou to come to the mansion and held a banquet to thank the young master, and asked Mr. Zhou to enjoy the glory!" He took out something from his arms and handed it to Zhou Yang: "This is a letter written by Mr. Jiao to Mr. Zhou."
