Chapter 357

Zhu Lian frowned slightly. Although he was a little unhappy, he did not blame Zhou Boyu.

She couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Zhou Boyu's words were a wake-up call for Zhu Lian.

Zhao Huan did hand over the power of the palace to her, but this was also based on the trust between husband and wife.

As Zhou Boyu said, as a wife, the most taboo thing is to become a stumbling block for her husband to start a business.

Even if her intentions are good and she loves her husband passionately, she must not restrict Zhao Huan just because of her views as a woman. This is tantamount to self-destruction.

After thinking about this, Zhu Lian couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, sighing secretly in his heart.

"In this regard, Qingyun is more clear-minded than I am."

"That girl seems to have nothing to do with the world, but in fact she is as wise as a fool and has a heart as bright as a mirror."

"Obviously she was outside the door just now and heard the prince's words about going to Taiyuan Mansion, but she didn't say anything and turned around and left."

"No matter how distressed I am, I can still distinguish between public and private matters."

Zhu Lian took a deep breath. Instead of getting angry, he nodded slightly to Zhou Boyu and accepted Zhou Boyu's criticism without hesitation.

"What Mr. Zhou said is absolutely true. It is the opinion of this woman in this palace, and she almost missed the prince's important event."

"Even the imperial palace is divided into the front dynasty and the harem, so the palace should be the same."

"I only need to take care of the household affairs. If I cross the line and interfere with the prince's important affairs, I will be breaking the rules of a woman."

Having said this, Zhu Lian turned to look at Zhao Huan and bowed with an apologetic look on his face.

"I am impatient. Please husband, don't be the same as me."

Zhao Huangao sat in the position of the head of the family, with a peaceful face, showing closeness and authority, and nodded with a smile.

"My beloved concubine can advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and my husband is quite pleased."

Little did they know that under the mask of calmness, they were already overjoyed. Zhou Boyu and the other 20 guests were indeed treasures.

Practical talents like them who concentrate on research naturally have no time to pay attention to the "human world" thing.

With Zhou Boyu playing cover in the future, wouldn't Zhao Huan be able to do whatever he wants?

Just when Zhao Huan was feeling happy, Zhou Boyu suddenly said something.

"Why doesn't the prince return the gift to the princess?"

ha?

Before Zhao Huan could react, Zhou Boyu's eyes changed slightly: "Your Majesty is proficient in literature, arithmetic, astronomy and military affairs, so he doesn't even have the most basic etiquette, right?"

"Although we are obsessed with research, we have also been influenced by Confucianism since childhood, and we still attach great importance to etiquette, justice and integrity."

Zhao Huan's mood suddenly became complicated.

This guy Zhou Boyu...could he be on the same level as Zhou Pu?

Are they all that stubborn and stubborn people who don’t recognize reason?

Zhao Huan felt depressed for a while, and under pressure from Zhou Boyu, he had to stand up and give Zhu Lian a gift in return.

Only then did Zhou Boyu speak earnestly: "Her Royal Highness, the Princess, knows honor and disgrace, knows how to advance and retreat, and is sitting in charge of the Palace. It is truly a great blessing for the Palace."

"With such a virtuous wife, why should the palace be in trouble? Why should the family be in disharmony?"

"Although the prince is informal, he is also good at listening to the opinions of his subordinates, which is also rare and valuable."

"Based on the behavior of the prince and princess, we are willing to work for the prince's palace."

Zhao Huan responded with a smile, but secretly cursed in his heart. Zhou Boyu didn't look very old this time, so why did he act like an old scholar? If he becomes an official in the future, it will definitely be more difficult than Zhou Pu!

Fortunately, Zhao Huan has no intention of letting him become an official at all. He will just work as a coolie in Tianji Pavilion!

Zhu Peng curled his lips and looked at Zhou Boyu with a look of disdain. He muttered in a low voice: "Why are you pretending!"

"He is not a senior, but he is quite good at putting on a show. Our Zhu family is a veteran of three dynasties. I don't know where he got the confidence to point fingers at our Zhu family."

Chen Zhao on the side quickly whispered to dissuade him.

"He's really confident."

"Do you know who his grandfather is?"

Zhu Peng curled his lips and said disapprovingly: "Who is it? No matter how powerful you are, can you still be as powerful as my Zhu family?"

The reason why Chen Zhao did not refute Zhou Boyu was because he knew Zhou Boyu's family background, and when he saw Zhu Peng being so dismissive, he quickly reminded him.

"His grandfather is Zhou Shou."

Zhou Shou?

Zhu Peng frowned: "I've never heard of it!"

Chen Zhao patiently explained: "Of course you haven't heard of it. After all, Zhou Shou is just the official record of Xiuzhou."

"But you must have heard of Zhou Boyu's great-grandfather, named Zhou Dunyi."

Zhu Peng, who had looked disdainful just now, his expression suddenly darkened, and his eyes changed again and again when he looked at Zhou Boyu.

"This guy is Zhou Dunyi's great-grandson? No wonder he is so confident."

"But having said that, even if you are a descendant of an aristocratic family, you won't give any face to our Zhu family, right?"

Zhao Huan had long noticed that the two of them were whispering and did not stop them.

As early as during the interview, Zhao Huan had already checked Zhou Boyu's identity. His great-grandfather Zhou Dunyi was one of the Five Sons of the Northern Song Dynasty!

The originator of Neo-Confucianism was a litterateur and philosopher.

Works such as "Collection of Zhou Yuan Gong" and "Shuo Ai Lian" were both written by Grandpa Zhou Boyu.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Huan can tolerate Zhou Boyu's bad temper, and Zhou Boyu is the best choice to lead Tianji Pavilion.

Zhou Boyu didn't take Zhu Peng, Chen Zhao and others to heart at all. He cupped his hands at Zhao Huan and said in a deep voice: "Let's get back to the topic!"

"The reason why my subordinates say that the prince should go to Taiyuan Mansion immediately is because Jin Bing will not give the prince much time to breathe."

"It is obviously unrealistic to try to cover up others' eyes and leave the city secretly."

"In that case, it's better to do the opposite."

"Your Majesty will go with great fanfare and return in a dignified manner. As long as the members of the Cai family have any scruples, they will never take action against the Prince rashly."

"Advance is progress, advance again and again."

As expected of the Zhou family, their minds are really lively.

The so-called progress based on progress refers to making something out of nothing, and making progress again and again, in layman's terms, means to make every inch more, and to put it more plainly...to push one's nose and face.

In the third year of Yuanfu, Cai Jing served as the bachelor of Duanming Palace and concurrently as the magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture.

In other words, Cai Jing served as an official in Taiyuan Prefecture. Although it was more than twenty years ago, even if Cai Jing had committed corruption and perverted the law in Taiyuan Prefecture, the evidence has long been buried in the torrent of history.

But that doesn't matter!

Zhao Huan wanted to go to Taiyuan Prefecture on the pretext of "strictly investigating Cai Jing."

In this way, if something goes wrong with Zhao Huan on the road, Cai Jing will not be able to get rid of the suspicion of "killing people and silencing them."

As long as Zhao Huan goes to Taiyuan Mansion, he can get in touch with Li Chen and discuss jointly resisting the Jin soldiers in the future.

Zhao Ji will not be the only one who will be anxious at that time. Anyone who has an interest in Taiyuan Prefecture will be on pins and needles.

Want Zhao Huan to stay away from Taiyuan Mansion? Yes, pay for it!

It’s not too much to use half of the 920,000 customary coins to increase the arms budget of Yizhou Prefecture, right?

Zhao Huan said excitedly: "Zhou Boyu, you are really a genius!"
