Han Dao world

Chapter 1014
Zhou Zhong stroked his beard with one hand, held the teacup in the other, took a shallow sip of tea, and remained silent for a long time.

Zhou Yu sat opposite with a calm face.

After relaying the emperor's arrangement to Zhou Zhong, Zhou Zhong remained silent, as if he was a little surprised, but also as expected.

After a while, Zhou Zhong put down his teacup and folded his hands in front of his stomach.

"Gongjin, the mind of the emperor is very human. This is your opportunity, and it is also the opportunity of the Lujiang Zhou family. Don't let it go. Gongqing is more than enough."

Zhou Yu nodded in agreement.

He also felt that the emperor had great ambitions, and even Mobei was not the end point, and Rome, thousands of miles away, was his most concerned goal.If this is the case, it is not a special case for Liu Bei and Sun Ce to establish a country overseas, and other people also have the opportunity.

Jianguo is a fatal temptation for any family.

So what about the princes of the past, how can there be a hereditary title that is real.What's more, this kind of feudal state is not an empty title that cannot govern the people, but a feudal state that can be completely controlled, just like the Spring and Autumn Fangguo.

"Uncle, when it comes to the prosperity of household registration in the world, Yanyu, Qingxu, and Jizhou in Hebei are the most popular. It is most beneficial to open up overseas. If the great cause of the emperor comes true, the residence registration will have a place to go, and there will be no more worries about yellow scarves. "

Zhou Zhong glanced at Zhou Yu, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. "Gongjin, since I intend to pass on the position of Patriarch to you, I will naturally make your choice. I didn't object to Dutian back then, and I won't now."

Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief. "Uncle, don't talk about the matter of the head of the family. Overseas expeditions are not achieved in a day. Uncle Fu Chunqiu should preside over the overall situation, so that we and the younger generation will have no worries."

Zhou Zhong smiled.

With Zhou Yu's words, he and Zhou Yu had opened up their conversation and reached an agreement.

"Since you said so, I'll ask you something."

"Ask your uncle to teach you."

"You are the same age as Sun Ce. Sun Ce already has three daughters and one son, but you haven't married a wife yet. I'm afraid it's not suitable?"

Zhou Yu's face flushed with embarrassment, and he lost his composure just now.

"I heard that you have been walking to Lantai frequently recently." Zhou Zhong put away his smile and looked down at the teacup on the desk. "Cai Lingshi's knowledge is good, and his character is also good. Although we have been married, our Zhou family in Lujiang is not a pedantic person, and we don't care about these. If she is willing to marry, I can't ask for it. But if she refuses, how can you do that?" What's the point of dragging?"

"Uncle, I..."

"I know what you're thinking, but I can tell you directly. It's not that she doesn't know how good you are, it's just that she has seen better ones, and she does so every day."

"But..." Zhou Yu muttered, "It's impossible for her to enter the palace."

"I know, and she knows, but this doesn't prevent her from being able to tolerate others. As a woman, it's inevitable that she will be emotional, not as good as the rest. Besides, even if she is willing to marry, can she give up her position as Lantai Lingshi and go out with you? With the Son of Heaven, she can see more."

Zhou Yu sighed. "What uncle said is true, but... I can't tolerate others anymore."

"I don't care if you can accommodate others in your heart. I only care about whether you can keep your blood. If you don't have a favorite woman yourself, then I will choose one for you so that you can get married before you go out again. I think, Your father would agree with my idea."

Zhou Yu nodded in frustration. "According to uncle."

"Kong Rong has a daughter who is about to marry, what do you think?"

"Kong Rong's daughter?" Zhou Yu was taken aback.

"Yeah, what's the problem?" Zhou Zhong chuckled, with a bit of complacency. "He has a request from you and me now, forgive him for not daring not to agree."

After dinner, Liu Xie went to Ma Yunlu's residence as usual, talked to her, and looked at the newborn child.

Before entering the door, he heard Cai Yan's voice.

"Your Majesty, don't make fun of him. He and I are just colleagues, and our dealings are all official business."

Ma Yunlu immediately smiled and said: "You can't even look down on such a good man. Could it be that there is someone in your heart? Forgive my blindness, I look around, and I really can't see who is better than Zhou Gongjin."

Cai Yan said: "Whether you are good or not varies from person to person. How dare I compare with noble people. In my opinion, heroes are everywhere, but there are only a few who are destined."

"Not many?" Ma Yunlu giggled. "Then you should tell me something."

"..." Cai Yan did not answer.

When Liu Xie walked in, seeing Cai Yan's embarrassed face, he got up and wanted to leave, so he stretched out his hand to stop him. "Why does Ling Shi have to leave as soon as I come?"

Cai Yan rolled his eyes. "Your Majesty is wrong to blame the minister. It's not that the minister wants to leave, but that in the eyes of the nobles, there is only your majesty, and there is no position for a minister."

Ma Yunlu got up to greet him. "Your Majesty is just right, judge for us and see who is defiant."

Liu Xie quickly raised his hand to stop it. "Stop, stop. Don't ask me such trivial matters, I can't explain clearly. Ling Shi, have you received any useful Western Region classics recently?"

Cai Yan quickly said seriously: "Recently, I have received two geography books, and some chapters are related to the west of Congling. The year is approaching, and there are too many documents on the list, and there is no time to process them. I may have to wait until after the Chinese New Year to translate them."

Liu Xie thought about it. "I see that there are more and more documents in Lantai, and it is very inconvenient to transfer them. It seems that it is necessary to find a fixed place to store them. Do you have a favorite place?"

Cai Yan thought for a while. "The most suitable place is naturally Chang'an. There are a large number of ancient books from the Western Regions in the Tongwen Library in Chang'an. It would be better to merge them. The Lantai Book records the royal family's classics, and translating the classics from the Western Regions is only a part-time job. Since there is a Tongwen Library, there is no need to It’s too much to do.”

"You discuss this matter with Mr. Xun Gui, and come up with a plan."

"only."

"Also, have you practiced riding recently?"

Cai Yan blinked. "Too busy, no time."

"Take time to practice, otherwise you will not be able to bear the hardships in the future expedition. Not only should you practice riding a horse, but also a camel. Although a camel is slower, it can carry heavy loads. It is the most suitable for you."

Cai Yan's eyes lit up. "only."

After saying a few words, Cai Yan left happily.

Ma Yunlu excitedly tugged at Liu Xie's sleeve. "Your Majesty, are you going to march west?"

"It should be faster than I planned." Liu Xie pinched Ma Yunlu's plump cheeks. "But you don't need to be in a hurry, no matter how soon you have to wait for you to have another one."

He glanced at Ma Yunlu quietly, and suddenly frowned: "I heard people say that if you are stupid for three years after being pregnant, if you have two children in a row, wouldn't you be stupid for six years? If that's the case, you will be on the battlefield , can you still be Ma Junhou who cut Jiangqian's banner?"

Ma Yunlu covered his mouth and smiled. "Your Majesty, those words are only believed by mediocre women. I asked Doctor Hua, and he said that as long as you take good care of yourself, you will not be stupid at all. Not only will you not be stupid, but you will also become smarter. Otherwise, how can you be a fool?" Where's the good mother?"

Liu Xie smiled. "I hope so."
