Chapter 229: The Founding Goddess of War
"She doesn't have to worry about the future at all. She can make a way for herself!"
Zhou Huanjiu's face turned red when she was praised.
It's not that exaggerated. She's not the most successful one.
But since A Niang was so happy, she shouldn’t spoil her fun.
Zhou Yu on the opposite side thought that this woman was crazy. How come he could understand each word individually, but couldn't understand them when they were put together?
Next to her, her eldest daughter, who had been acting like a mute, sat quietly on a chair. The child's toes just touched the ground and her feet could not even fully touch the floor.
Then this crazy woman said, Zhou Huanjiu has been... conferred the title of marquis?
Fifth grade?
Zhou Yu scratched his hair and caught lice all over his hands.
He said: "No, are you hysterical?"
"Even if you make it up, at least give a decent reason."
"Let's talk about something realistic. Jiu'er's second brother is doing well in his studies. The teacher at the academy said that if he continues at this pace, he will be able to pass the imperial examinations before he reaches the age of twenty."
"You made it up, but I didn't."
"Anyway, the divorce has been signed. When the time comes, our Zhou family will not share a single cent of Erlang's success with you."
He was driven out with harsh words, and Wanyuan finally became quiet.
Madam Li held her daughter's hand and said happily, "Tomorrow, I will pack up and tell your uncle the good news."
"Given their level of attainment, I don't know when they will know that my son is proud of himself."
Zhou Huanjiu hesitated: "Mom, there's no need to be so high-profile."
Overwhelmed by the huge surprise, Madam Li didn't care at all. She put her hands on her hips and smiled, "That won't work!"
"Wine is my mother's pride, why should I hide it?"
"The top scorer in the imperial examination must ride a horse through the streets and return home in glory!"
"Your seven points are much more impressive than the top scholar."
"Not a single dog in the capital city knows about this. It's all because my mother didn't spread the word well enough."
Zhou Huanjiu: ???
"No!"
“How embarrassing!”
Zhou Huanjiu tried every possible means and even made a scene to stop his mother from posting photos of her baby.
After a day's rest, she went to the Ministry of Works full of energy on her first day at work.
Not long after Zhou Huanjiu left, Wanyuan became lively again. Zhou Yu rushed over while Madam Li was out.
"Madam! Madam!"
"It's only been a day, you didn't take the divorce papers to the government office, did you?"
"We are married for a day and we are bound by love for a hundred days. I will no longer like men in the future. I only like you."
"Madam! Madam!"
He was stopped by the servants and could not get close to Madam Li.
After the divorce, Lady Li had a kind of beauty that was free of burdens, and she was particularly full of vitality.
She stopped in a good mood and chatted with irrelevant people: "I sent it to the government office to get the divorce on the first day I got it."
"If there is dirt on your body, everyone should wash it off as soon as possible."
"roll."
Zhou Yu was still arguing: "It takes ten years to be able to ride the same boat together, and a hundred years to be able to sleep on the same pillow together!"
"Madam, Jiu'er is my child too, you can't separate us... You vicious woman! Give me back my child!"
After getting on the carriage and driving away, Lady Li lifted the curtain, turned around, and ordered the servant who stopped him: "Beat him up and throw him back!"
It would have been better if she didn't say it. As soon as she mentioned the separation of father and daughter, she remembered that seven years ago, the beast kidnapped Jiu'er to make room for that bastard.
"Hit me! Hit me hard!"
......
Tu Ning invaded Vietnam, but was beaten back and suffered a series of defeats.
Bei Jingchu remembered that it was mentioned in the original book that during the reign of the tyrant, the Yue Dynasty sent a royal daughter to Tu Ning, who was named a princess and married.
He also gave many annual tributes.
But it was just mentioned briefly without being written down.
She thought it was just a means to win over foreign countries, but now she thinks that it was at this time that the Yue Dynasty lost the war and had to pay tribute.
It must be a very humiliating thing for Aye.
Fortunately, this time, the situation was reversed and Tu Ning submitted a letter of surrender.
The pro-war and pro-peace factions argued for several days, but the emperor still couldn't come to a conclusion.
Until he opened an ordinary folder and saw an extraordinary content.
It is a suggestion for Tu Ning's letter of surrender.
He first glanced through it roughly and saw the signature: Your Majesty, Renwei Hou Beiqin, respectfully presents this.
Not sure, check again.
So he looked at it again carefully.
After making sure that he had understood correctly, he praised his nephew in his heart: "What a dog!"
This is so shameless, he has been a dog for at least ten years.
See what he said.
Accept the surrender and tribute of Tunning, and seize this time to continue producing weapons.
Then, when they think they are at a truce and are relaxed and unprepared, we will launch a sneak attack.
Is this an idea that a human could come up with?
It's so mean, but he likes it.
Bei Heng approved it and ordered the Minister of Rites and the Minister of War to jointly discuss the plan and draw up a set of rules.
After reviewing a few more books, he came across a memorial sent by the teacher of the Hongwenguan, which stated that Bei Qin had completed his apprenticeship and was ready to serve in the court.
Thinking of the dirty trick just now, the emperor agreed with it deeply.
All of us scholars are very proud. Among his subjects, no one is more mean than his nephew.
At this time, Bei Qin outside the palace was paying his respects to Princess Xianning.
Sitting next to her was one of her favorite men.
His appearance and figure are not the best, but he has the appearance of a gentleman with elegant appearance.
He was a learned man and often taught Bei Qin.
After Bei Qin left, the two put away the gentle masks of elders.
The concubine stood behind Princess Xianning and said in a mellow voice, "Your Highness, His Majesty has first generously rewarded Xu and Zhou, granting them high positions and generous salaries, and is also interested in selecting talented women to serve as officials."
"Is this situation in your favor?"
Bei Jinwan wiped the dagger in her hand. The dagger was simple and had nothing in common with the luxurious things she loved. It was a sharp weapon that could kill with one blow and had drunk blood.
She did not respond, but sighed: "My brother is really an enlightened king."
The concubine disagreed: "Xu Zhou and his wife have made great contributions, so they should be won over with high positions and generous titles. How can this be considered enlightened?"
Bei Jinwan laughed sarcastically: "Yes, it's nothing."
“But if they were in the time of the Emperor and the Great Ancestor, even if they had made achievements, the credit would have been given to their fathers and brothers.”
"Didn't the Emperor do this?"
The mistress remained silent.
Bei Jinwan continued to carefully wipe the dagger in his hand, and said absentmindedly: "Aunt, she is the female war god during the founding of the country."
"She deserves half of the credit for the establishment of the Yue Dynasty."
"She was the first to enter the capital and open the city gates to welcome my father to the throne."
“I grew up hearing her stories.”
I also remember her warm palms and the joy I felt when I received this little dagger.
I also remember her mysterious death, in which there were traces of my father.
She is luckier than that.
Because my aunt's brother, the late emperor, was an extremely rigid and suspicious king.
And her brother was an enlightened monarch.
but......
"Alas~" Princess Xianning sighed softly.
"Your Majesty's sudden move to allow women to serve as officials is ultimately a good thing. It would be better if more talents in Dai Viet come to the surface."
