From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 312

"I don't believe it. You are royal nobles after all. I don't believe that I can't make this point!"

Zhou Yuan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Listen carefully, I will tell you in detail from beginning to end."

So, another two hours passed.

It was already dark, and Zhou Yuan gave up completely.

"That... Zhou Yuan, have some tea..."

Princess Qinshui was really embarrassed. She whispered: "Although we sisters can read and write, we really don't understand those family and national affairs. Taxation and corvée are even more related to the foundation of national policy. We can't understand them."

Princess Bishui also said: "How about I ask Mrs. Deng out one day, and you tell her?"

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said: "I don't want to tell anyone. I will write it down directly, and you can hand it to Deng Su in person when the time comes."

"Just say that this is written by Kong Li."

His mentality is about to collapse.

Princess Qinshui said, "This afternoon has passed in a flash. We are all hungry. Zhou Yuan, you must be hungry too. The kitchen has prepared the dishes. Let's eat first."

Zhou Yuan glared and said, "What are you eating? How can you be in the mood to eat!"

The two princesses turned pale after being yelled at by him. They lowered their heads and dared not answer.

After more than ten seconds of silence, Zhou Yuan came out of his emotions. He looked at the two princesses and finally sighed softly.

"Forget it. It's really not easy for you to understand this. Most educated people don't understand it."

"Let's eat. I'm really hungry too."

Princess Qinshui's eyes lit up and she quickly said, "Okay, I'll go to the kitchen to say hello to them."

Princess Qinshui was very happy to have dinner with Zhou Yuan.

After she left, Zhou Yuan sighed helplessly and looked at Princess Bishui who was lowering her head. Her expression was wronged and gentle. Her pitiful temperament of a widow was really touching.

"Yunxian, are you angry with me?"

Zhou Yuan sat over and gently pulled her hand.

Princess Bishui was shocked and quickly pulled her hand away, whispering: "Don't... don't do this, Lord Zhou, please respect yourself."

Zhou Yuan pulled her into his arms, took a deep breath, squinted and said: "You have a scent on your body, is there a scent bag hidden?"

As he said this, his big hand reached into his clothes.

"Hey, how can this be..."

Princess Bishui quickly held his hand and said anxiously: "Pei Xian will be back soon, and will be discovered."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "Does it mean that if she is not here, I can do whatever I want?"

"That's not what I mean."

Princess Bishui said faintly: "Zhou Yuan, it's not good for us to do this. If we are discovered, it will be over."

Zhou Yuan said: "If you are not discovered, you are still willing."

Princess Bishui shook her head and said: "No..."

Zhou Yuan grabbed the snowman, gently pinched the red nose, and whispered: "You still say no?"

Princess Bishui screamed, and the whole person's strength seemed to be drained. She fell softly in his arms, trembling slightly.

Her voice was full of tears: "Don't, don't bully me, Pei Xian is really coming back."

Zhou Yuan said: "Will she betray you?"

Princess Bishui said: "She, she likes you... If she sees us, she will be sad."

Hearing the footsteps going upstairs, Zhou Yuan let go of Princess Bishui.

"The kitchen will serve the food soon. We just need to wait!"

Princess Qinshui was smiling, but she was slightly stunned when she saw Princess Bishui: "Sister, why is your face so red? Are you hot?"

Princess Bishui smiled awkwardly and shook her head: "Yes... it's a little hot."

Princess Qinshui said: "It's spring now, and we're at home, so there's no need to wear so many clothes."

Zhou Yuan said: "Let's get on with business. I'll write down the Whip Method on paper. Yunxian, you have to say that Kong Li wrote it for you."

"He asked you to find the right opportunity and give it to the right person."

"When you go to Deng's house to find Mrs. Deng, tell Deng Su a few words of praise, and he will naturally treasure this piece of paper."

Princess Qinshui said: "Don't worry, Zhou Yuan, I will teach you."

Zhou Yuan was relieved and started to feast with the two sisters.

Just when the meal was halfway through, the maid came up again: "Your Highness, someone outside sent a letter, saying it was for the Earl of Zhongwu."

Zhou Yuan frowned, stood up immediately, and said anxiously: "Give me the letter quickly!"

This place is very sensitive. If the opponent is monitoring, he will just wait and see. The person who sent the letter is undoubtedly Guan Lu.

And Guan Lu is smart. If he disturbs at this moment, it must be something big.

Zhou Yuan opened the letter and saw only four words on it: "Luoyang has fallen."

"You eat, I'm leaving, I'll send the letter tomorrow morning!"

Not giving the two people time to react, Zhou Yuan strode downstairs, walked out of the house, got on the carriage, and Guan Lu reallyIn.

"What's going on!"

Zhou Yuan was also confused. Logically, Zhang Bailong should wait until the weapons are roughly mature. Now he lacks everything. How can he conquer Luoyang?

"This afternoon's urgent report, on the night of February 25, a large number of people in Luoyang City rioted and worked together to open the city gate. Zhang Bailong's bandit army took the opportunity to break through Luoyang, the garrison general was killed, and the other garrisons fled."

"The official report will be delivered tonight, and our news is a little faster."

Zhou Yuan said: "The people in the city rioted? What's the reason? Is there no food in the city?"

Guan Lu whispered: "It is said that the Luoyang prefecture increased taxes without authorization, under the pretext of collecting taxes from bandits, and the people were desperate."

Zhou Yuan couldn't help but hit the wall of the car hard, gritted his teeth and said: "This group of idiots, they are not good at doing things, but they are good at making trouble."

Guan Lu said: "My lord, if Luoyang falls, Kaifeng will become an isolated city. Zhang Bailong will definitely gather all his troops to attack Kaifeng."

"Once Kaifeng falls, the Central Plains will be in danger!"

"Your Majesty may have to send the Beijing camp to suppress the bandits."

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and said: "Nothing is Get ready. Even Ye Mian hasn't arrived in the Central Plains yet, and now something has happened. Damn it, when I arrive in the Central Plains, I will chop off the head of the prefect of Luoyang first. "

Guan Lu smiled bitterly and sighed: "Sir, be careful of anyone who proposes peace. The bandits have become powerful. The court is now short of everything, especially silver. It can't afford to fight a war!"

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said: "It's meaningless to say these things. The Central Plains can't wait for my sweet potatoes. You should prepare quickly and take the team to the Central Plains in advance to gain a foothold first."

"Let Zhang Fei set off quickly and clear the obstacles on the road first. I won't have time to deal with those killers at that time."

Guan Lu said seriously: "Yes, I will take people tonight."

Zhou Yuan said: "Help me write a letter. My handwriting is likely to be recognized. Your handwriting is safer."

Hurrying back to the mansion, Xiaozhuang has been waiting for a while.

She whispered, "Your Majesty asked you to enter the palace, I will take you in quietly."

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said, "Tell the eldest sister that I already know the situation. Time is urgent and there are too many things to arrange. It is impossible to enter the palace."

"I will give you a solution at the morning court the day after tomorrow."

Xiao Zhuang frowned and said, "You are disobeying the order?"

Zhou Yuan smiled bitterly, "Sister Xiao Zhuang, please say a few good words for me. The matter in the Central Plains came too suddenly. I really can't delay for a moment."

"Just ask the eldest sister to cooperate with me at the morning court the day after tomorrow. Just remember one thing, don't agree to the imperial edict."

"Also, let the eldest sister pay attention to Deng Su, the Minister of the Dali Temple. This person is useful."

Xiao Zhuang took a deep look at Zhou Yuan and said in a deep voice, "I may not be able to control the temper of His Majesty. You can do what you want."

After speaking, she finally did not take Zhou Yuan away.
