Zhou Chen's words made several princes present feel guilty. Zhou Rong had been in contact with Si Yiluo and secretly admired her, but felt that his words were too unpleasant.
"The Imperial Guard is a powerful weapon for the imperial court to supervise all officials. Sir, when you work for your father, you are also working for our Zhou family. There is no need to mention what the third brother said, lest people hear it and say that we brothers are ignorant of education.
."
It's okay for others to scold Si Yiluo, but as princes, it would really be inappropriate for them to scold ministers who serve the court loyally.
Zhou Chen mocked: "Brother, I was just talking casually. Are you feeling guilty?"
Zhou Chen looked over and saw that he had long known what Zhou Chang and Zhou Yun were doing in private, and Zhou Rong was just pretending to be aloof all day long.
"Third brother, what are you talking about!"
Zhou Rong coughed slightly and changed the subject, "We should be concerned about our father's condition now instead of arguing here!"
"But what should we do if our father doesn't see us?" Zhou Chang asked, "Why don't we see our fifth brother? During the morning court, he was always the most active. Why didn't he come today?"
While several people were talking, Si Yiluo and Zhou Zhan walked closer one after another.
Zhou Chen, who was still talking about Si Yiluo just now, glanced at Zhou Zhan and said mockingly: "I don't know why my father wanted to find the seventh brother. He turned us sons away early in the morning and asked Master Si to invite the seventh brother instead."
My brother enters the palace..."
Just have the words "favor one over the other" on your face...
Zhou Chen tried to transfer everyone's anger to Zhou Zhan with one sentence, "Seventh brother's body seems to be recovering well. Maybe he will be able to attend court with his brothers soon!"
He didn't mention this, but everyone also found that Zhou Zhan looked good and was not out of breath when walking. He was nothing like last year's autumn hunt, where a gust of wind could blow him down. There were several reports that he would not survive this winter...
As a result, he is still alive today.
Regarding the body, Zhou Zhan still used the same excuses as before.
"The weather is getting warmer, and the imperial doctor said you can move around appropriately. I recently picked up the boxing skills that my uncle taught me when I was a child and practiced them. I feel really better, but my body won't recover for a while, and I can't compare with my brothers.
."
There was a lot of commotion at the door. Emperor Yao did not wait for Si Yiluo, but he waited for the news of Zhou Zhan entering the palace and asked Si Hai to come out to spread the news.
Zhou Zhan bowed his hands to everyone and explained: "My father came to me to discuss my cousin's marriage. Brothers, don't get me wrong..."
Chang Jinchan’s marriage?
The princes looked at each other, then looked back. Zhou Zhan had followed Si Hai in.
Regarding the rumors that suddenly spread yesterday, everyone knows what is going on. Moreover, who wants to marry Chang Jinchan the most is not Zhou Zhan. Why should they compete with Zhou Zhan here?
Zhou Yu settles accounts!
Zhou Yu really can't hide his ambition. Do you think they are all dead?
Zhou Zhan, who had caused trouble to the east, perfectly escaped the crisis of being hostile to all his brothers at the same time, but Shen Panxing took this into consideration and was dissatisfied.
"You want to marry the daughter of the Protector, why don't you discuss it with me?"
Zhou Yu knew he couldn't hide, so he simply said truthfully: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law, I'm not afraid that you won't agree... If we can really marry with the Protector's Mansion and win over the Protector for our use, it will be equivalent to holding military power in our hands.
When the time comes, my son-in-law will be able to gain support from more people, and he will be closer to that step..."
Shen Jiaxing interrupted him with a sneer.
"But when you do this, your ambition is obvious. Not to mention the emperor's attitude towards you, can your brothers, Prince Rong and Prince Chen, tolerate you?"
Zhou Yu immediately closed his mouth and did not dare to say anything.
"The snipe and the clam are vying for the fisherman's profit. If His Highness hadn't lost his composure, we would have waited until Zhou Rong and Zhou Chen were both injured in the fight before taking action. By then, only King Chang and King Yun would be left in front of you, fighting for profits with the people and despising the king. Fuck, no one will support them if anything they do is revealed."
"You just need to restrain yourself and make no mistakes. The position of Crown Prince will be yours sooner or later! I have paved the way for you in the court and am ready to assist you with all my heart. Is this how you repay me?"
Shen Panxing was very angry. While he wanted to use his help, he was also planning for a bigger backer. He was eating from the bowl and looking at the pot. If such a person ascends to the throne in the future, he is afraid that he will be the first to win. The first thing is to get rid of him as a hero!
The allocation of official positions in the imperial examination this time is in Shen Kanxing's hands. What he said to pave the way is that students who join his disciples can be assigned to departments with real power, and they will have to listen to his orders in the future. Only in this way can they meet the standards in annual assessments and have hope for promotion. .
Zhou Yu lowered his head and thought quickly in his mind. He was not paving the way for him, but cultivating his party members to strengthen his own strength so that he could blackmail him in the future!
Weng and son-in-law each have their own secrets, but they sit together in harmony.
"What should my son-in-law do now? Please ask my father-in-law to point out a clear path for my son-in-law!"
It is disgraceful to give a beautiful woman to his father and use aphrodisiac incense. Emperor Yao will only cover up this matter.
Since he has to cover it up, he will not be charged with this crime now or in the future.
"From now on, cultivate your moral character and don't leave any excuses to others. There may be room for change in this matter. In addition, you must be careful of others framing you. As long as there are no excuses, I will help you with the Emperor." With."
Emperor Yao would not let this matter be exposed in the first place. Shen Jiaxing did not say it clearly. By the way, he could also use this to sell Zhou Yu a favor. It was a waste of money. He used it more smoothly than Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu stood up and bowed his hands in salute, saying gratefully: "Thank you very much, father-in-law, for your help. My son-in-law will keep this in mind!"
During this conversation, Weng and his son-in-law were very harmonious. When he came out of the study, Zhou Yu no longer frowned, picked up Shen Mingshu, took her to go shopping on the street, bought her a few sets of jewelry, and bought some gifts. and gadgets, and brought them into the palace.
"Hey, my father is sick, and my fifth brother is not worried at all. He is still in the mood to go shopping with his younger siblings!"
Facing Zhou Chen's ridicule, Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Third brother, don't make fun of me. I thought that my father was ill and his appetite must be bad, so I went to Zhangji and bought some yam cakes to send to my father. I also thought that the Empress and the other empresses must be worried because the two sisters are still young, so asking Shen to buy some small gifts and send them over would be a little thought for both of us..."
"We, the older brothers, are not as careful as the fifth brother. We really should reflect on it..."
After Zhou Chen was angry, he looked into the room and saw that Zhou Zhan and Si Yiluo had been in there for a long time, why didn't they come out?
Zhou Yun opened the folding fan with a swipe, ignored the overt and covert fights among the brothers behind him, and rushed towards the newly arrived King Han.
"Uncle King Han."
When it comes to eating, drinking and having fun, he and King Han are very similar, and because they are about the same age, they have a better temperament together.
"Uncle King Han."
Zhou Rong, Zhou Chen and others also saluted at the same time.
"What are you all doing standing here? Why don't you go in?"
King Han is taller than a few others, but he is thin and thin. He always wears half a mask covering his cheeks and forehead. People who are not close to him will be afraid unconsciously, but after getting to know him, they will find that he
Treat people very gently.
As soon as he arrived, he put his arm on Zhou Yun's shoulder. It seemed like a joke, but in fact he was mocking himself. "I am a laid-back prince, and no one has sent me a message. I just learned that the emperor is ill. Have you guys gone in to see it?"
