Chapter 280 Uncle
Zhou Zongren, the Marquis of Wu'an, was practicing calligraphy by lighting up the lamp in his study. Since the new emperor ascended the throne, the Marquis of Wu'an's house was safe and unaffected, so the Marquis of Wu'an resigned from his original position and became a wealthy and idle man at home.
Every day, in addition to teaching a few grandchildren to read and calligraphy during the day, I also practice a few large calligraphy sheets in the study at night.
When the new emperor's troops came to the city, Zhou Yang asked Wu'an Hou Haishi to open the Tongji Gate to welcome the new emperor into the capital.
Marquis Wu An refused. He never expected that in order to avenge the injustice done by Princess Anyang and the late emperor, Zhou Yang would go to court against Dare.
This he couldn't bear.
Even if the imperial court is corrupt and Princess Anyang bullies others, the late emperor is still incompetent.
But Marquis Wu'an never thought of overthrowing the current dynasty and supporting someone else to become the emperor.
But what did Zhou Yang say?
He told everything about what he had done before, forcing him to help Zhou Yang open the Tongji Gate against his will.
The Zhou family had already boarded the Hongying Army's pirate ship, so there was no chance of them jumping off the ship to protect themselves.
Tongji Gate is the largest of the 13 inner city gates in Jinling. Facing north and south, there are three inner urns inside. To the northeast is the fortified imperial palace.
When Marquis Wu'an opened the gate of Tongji Gate with his own hands, he watched the black army with red tassels enter the city and go straight to the palace.
At that moment, Marquis Wu An knew that Zhou Yang had won his bet, and for the first time, he truly understood the unknown side of his nephew.
Zhou Yang is so cruel.
The guard's voice came from outside the door: "Master Hou, the Fourth Young Master is back."
Zhou Yang took a few steps into the study room of Marquis Wu'an Mansion with an even deeper chill. The candlelight danced around, and the young man under the light was as gentle as jade. He looked graceful and elegant, and was a rare good boy.
Zhou Zongren looked at his nephew in front of him with disgust and tutted: "Why are you here at my place if you don't go back to your own yard at night?"
Zhou Yang stepped forward and saluted, his tone calm: "Uncle, I want to enter the Yulin Guard."
Since the new emperor ascended the throne, Zhou Yangru had agreed with Zhou Zongren to follow General Lin to the border for five years.
Zhou Zongren didn't dare to keep Zhou Yang in the capital. His nephew was too courageous. He was afraid that one day he would be deceived by this kid again if he was not careful.
Years ago, when King Qin returned to the capital, he followed Zhou Yang back to the capital. Zhou Zongren felt bad.
There must be no good things happening when this kid comes back. He should go back to the capital with King Qin. If there is nothing happening here, he won't call this kid daddy.
Sure enough, now this kid is really looking for trouble.
Holding the scroll in his hand, Marquis Wu An looked at his nephew across from him and asked in a calm tone: "Zhou Yang, what do you want to do?"
Zhou Yang lowered his head: "My nephew just wants to serve the imperial court."
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Marquis Wu An pushed the cold tea on the table to Zhou Yang, "Look at how you look now. Did you not eat dinner? You didn't even know how to take a sip of water. Didn't you go to Zhenguo today?
Did the Duke attend some flower viewing party? How about it? If there is a little girl you like, I will ask your aunt to propose marriage to you."
Zhou Yang respectfully took the cold tea and drank it in one gulp: "Uncle, now I just want to protect my family and the country, and earn a lot of glory for the Zhou family. I don't want to have an affair with my children."
"I want to thank you on behalf of the eighth generation of the Zhou family."
Zhou Zongren glared at Zhou Yang angrily, "As long as you live in peace, our old Zhou family will have been burning incense for eight lifetimes. You have earned a lot of honors, how many heads do you have that you can chop off? King Qin is related to the current emperor.
Father and son, why are you getting involved in the fight between the two of them? Be careful when the time comes to turn around and bite you."
Zhou Yang rubbed his nose and said in a loud voice: "King Qin doesn't know how."
"How do you know he doesn't know how to do it? I don't think King Qin is a good guy if he is silent and silent. Otherwise, why would something happen to him as soon as he returned to the capital? It was such a coincidence that Concubine Zhou's men would have assassinated Bubu sooner rather than later.
Assassination, wait until he enters Beijing to carry out assassination?"
Zhou Zongren touched his cherished beard, wishing to cut off a few to vent his anger, "You have to remember that your surname is Zhou and his surname is Chen. When you helped Chen Quan win the world, what did he give you?
?You were sent to the frontier and couldn't return to the capital for a few years. The Marquis of Wu'an Mansion is a joke in the capital."
Zhou Yang murmured in a low voice: "Didn't you ask me to go to the border? You also threatened me with this, saying that if I don't allow you to go, you won't open the city gate."
"You..." Zhou Zongren covered his chest and breathed heavily, "Why did I let you go? If you were in Beijing, I was afraid that you would be praised and killed by Chen Quan. Should I let you go to the border to avoid the limelight and then come back?
Wrong?"
"That's right, uncle is still wise and powerful." Zhou Yang was not stupid. He admitted that it was for his own good that his uncle asked him to go to the border.
Marquis Wu'an calmed down for a rare moment: "You can live a peaceful life with a wife and don't interfere with the affairs of the emperor's family, can't you? You fight for the throne for them, and when the time comes, the cunning rabbit will die and the lackey will be cooked. I'll see who you want to cry to.
"
Zhou Yang was very cheeky: "Let's go find my uncle."
"Go away, I'm not your uncle, you are my ancestor." Zhou Zongren stood up, called the guards, and whispered a few words.
After the guard took the order and left, he turned around and looked sideways at Zhou Yang: "Why don't you go and wash up in your yard? I'll ask your aunt to send someone to bring you some food. When you're full, you can go to bed for me. I'll help you every day.
It’s hard work, why don’t you think about yourself?”
Zhou Yang was shocked: "Uncle, you don't want me to snatch the throne for you, do you?"
That would be too difficult!
"Fart. I want you to marry a wife and start a family as soon as possible." Zhou Zongren slapped Zhou Yang on the head, "Do you think the throne is easy to sit on? If you have the heart, you must have the fate."
Zhou Yang felt that his uncle might be free, otherwise why would his mother-in-law be worrying about his marriage now?
He is a heartless person and unworthy of marrying and having children.
"I have already found someone to get you into the Military and Horse Division. You should not go to the Yulin Guards. It is not suitable for you. The Song family has the merit of following the dragon, and Ningyuan Marquis and Yongyi Marquis were friends with His Majesty for eight years. These places are now occupied
They guard it as tightly as an iron barrel, and even if you get in, you won't get much benefit."
Despite the fact that Marquis Wu An has been playing with his grandson and fishing at home in the past few years, he still has connections in the capital.
In fact, Zhou Yang didn't necessarily want to join the Yulin Guard, he just made an excuse to see if his uncle had made arrangements for him.
It has been almost two months since he came back from the border, and the superiors have never arranged any errands for him. In fact, he had already guessed that his uncle must have arrangements for him if he asked him to come back.
Sure enough, his uncle in the Military and Horse Division had helped him stay.
Seeing Zhou Yang nodding in response, Marquis Wu An felt relieved. He considered and said, "If your father is looking for you..."
Zhou Yang said flatly: "I don't have a father."
"You kid." Marquis Wu An said earnestly, "He is your father after all. You can't do too much and make people criticize you."
"I understand, uncle."
Zhou Yang also knew that his uncle was doing it for his own good, so he could only accept it in a depressed manner to save his uncle from worrying about him.
"Okay, let's go eat."
Marquis Wu An watched Zhou Yang's figure disappear into the night and let out a long sigh.
Zhou Zongyi and his son absolutely cannot stay in the capital. If he is allowed to continue to appear in front of Zhou Yang, he cannot guarantee what Zhou Yang will do!
