Chapter 357 Resignation
No matter how furious Zhong Xingyan was, he could only suppress the lust in his heart and get up to entertain Chen Jinwu.

Although he is only a seven-year-old child, he is about to be called the emperor, and he is also the king of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Although the Zhong family has done many things this time, if he really enters the Zhong family's gate, he will not meet him, and the outside world will I am afraid that the criticism and criticism will strike like a thunderbolt.

Originally, the civil servants had already started to suppress the generals, which was something that one could guess with their toes.

Fanyin sat on the bed in a daze for a while, and couldn't help laughing when he thought of him leaving angrily. He was about to order someone to fetch water to wash up, and was ready to be summoned by His Royal Highness Chen Jinwu at any time. came in.

"Hey, you're blushing, fourth brother spoils you again? It seems that I didn't come here at the right time." Tian was full of energy, and when Zhong Xingqi came back, she was also very comfortable in her heart, and her tone of voice All higher than usual.

Sanskrit glared at her, then turned back and said: "I went to the front yard to meet people, the third sister-in-law is in a good mood, hurry up and run on me, otherwise I won't be able to eat well?"

"I don't have a conscience, I've always been thinking about you, so I came to see you." Sitting opposite Sanskrit, Tian looked at her for a long time, "There will only be us two women left in the future, so don't make trouble."

Fanyin paused, thinking of Fang's and Zhong Liangqiu's death, she was also full of emotion, she didn't want to mention it, but nodded slightly.

Tian took a long breath, "Don't talk about the past, my aunt specially sent someone to ask about your situation in the morning. If the fourth brother can't leave, I asked the third master to go back. The aunt said that she will wait for you to recuperate for a few days. I'll see you later."

"Father and mother should be back soon, right? But why do I think it's better for them to leave the capital?" Fanyin smiled bitterly, and looked up at Bu Chen around him, "How long has this family actually It's changed so much."

"The emperor has changed people, what is our small family?" Tian paused, and hissed close to Sanskrit: "I think your highness seems to be very interested in Yuan'er, just now he went to tease him for a long time, see He was so excited that he didn't even look at Zhong Cheng, but stared at Xiao Yuan'er, he couldn't have any other thoughts, right?"

"Sister-in-law, what are you thinking? Even if he is about to ascend the throne, he is only a seven-year-old child. What do you know?"

After Sanskrit finished speaking, he seemed a little guilty, "Even if children from the royal family know more, they...don't know so much, right? Not so much?"

"General Zhong, why don't you believe what I said about strengthening the country with martial arts? I really need your help!"

Chen Jinwu's face was a little anxious. He didn't expect that when he told Zhong Xingyan and Zhong Xingqi what was in his heart, he was laughed at by the two of them, and he clearly expressed his disbelief.

Although he is only a seven-year-old child, he is as good as he promised, and he will never go back on his word!
"Serving the country has always been the family motto of the Zhong family. There is no need to say more about this matter. Strengthening the country with martial arts and strengthening the country with literature is not something you can just think about now. Don't just ride a horse and charge the day before. Swinging a sword makes thousands of soldiers blind your heart."

Seeing that Chen Jinwu still disagreed, Zhong Xingyan added: "The common people want to live a peaceful and stable life, not a life of enslavement and fear, and the ministers don't want that either. Please think twice, Your Highness."

"Okay, then I'll think about it."

Chen Jinwu did not refute, and the shyness on his face also showed that he was indeed exposed by Zhong Xingyan. He admitted that he still missed the excitement of fighting that day...

"However, the merits of the Zhong family must be commended. After I ascend the throne, I must be rewarded. That... what official do you want? What title?"

Zhong Xingyan couldn't help laughing at Chen Jinwu's question, "If your words get out, outsiders will think that I have kidnapped His Royal Highness and plan to seize the country."

"That's what I said wrong." Chen Jinwu hissed for a long time, and felt that what he asked was really abrupt. He knew that he was no longer a child, and every word he said in the future would be carefully thought out.

Why do you feel so tired?

Chen Jinwu's previous kindness was gone, and he wanted to stay for dinner and see Sanskrit, but there was an urgent report outside the door, and the two prime ministers asked for an urgent matter.

Originally, those two people wanted Chen Jinwu to suppress Zhong's family, but Chen Jinwu really didn't dare to summon them to Zhong's house to ask questions, so he could only take them back to the palace angrily.

Zhong Xingyan saw him off, and Zhong Xingqi said from the side: "Are you really planning to let him suppress the generals and listen to the words of those old men?"

"He is a man with ideas, so we can't treat him like a child." Zhong Xingyan breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's take this opportunity to relax, and when everything is stable after his enthronement ceremony, let's worship the ancestral hall again. "

Zhong Xingqi gritted his teeth and only answered with one word: "Okay!"

Chen Jinwu pouted all the way back to the palace, very upset.

He originally came to Zhong's Mansion with good intentions to win him over, but he knew that Zhong Xingyan's words made him feel despised.

This feeling is very bad, although he also knows that what Zhong Xingyan said is correct, but he wants to befriend the Zhong family from the bottom of his heart, and it is also for the sake of their couple's love for saving his life.

Is this also wrong?
Chen Jinwu frowned, sitting in the carriage and thinking more and more angrily, he simply summoned the prince: "You help me as a staff officer, what title is suitable for Feng Zhong's family?"

"Oh, my Highness, how can you ask this old slave about such things, even if you want to ask, you should ask the Ministry of Rites..."

"Ask them? They must have told me again that they want to suppress the Zhong family. I won't suppress it. I want to promote the Zhong family." Chen Jinwu didn't allow the prince to finish speaking, and said angrily: "Didn't you like to advise my father the most before?" huh? Why are you silent now?"

The prince was so choked that he didn't know what to say, his eyes rolled wildly for a while, and he said: "Your Highness asked, the old slave is talking nonsense, don't blame you if you are wrong, the highest can only be the hereditary prince. , if you are not even satisfied with this, then there is really nothing to do."

"Just a Duke? General Zhong won't care." Chen Jinwu pursed his lips, "He is so arrogant, he should have guessed it a long time ago, is there any way for me to catch him? Think about it. "

The prince stared at him dumbfounded, and his highness wanted to compete with Zhong Xingyan!
That's right, when you become an emperor, you should always have arrogance, but Zhong Xingyan can't be beaten or chewed. The only one he can obey is Mrs. Zhong, right, Mrs. Zhong?
"Mrs. Feng Zhong, a first-rank madam?"

Wang Gonggong's point made Chen Jinwu look at him very blankly, "Do you still need to say that? If General Zhong wins the Duke of the State, Mrs. Zhong should be a first-rank imperial order, and another seal? Then how stingy I must be. "

"Or you might as well marry their family."

When Wang Gonggong said casually, Chen Jinwu's eyes immediately lit up, "Yes, marriage? Isn't it enough if I marry his daughter? Are you afraid that he won't help me? And they also paid back the favor for saving me, yes ,Ok, deal!"

"Ah?" Wang Gonggong's eyeballs almost fell out of shock, "You really want to..."

"Didn't you say that?" Chen Jinwu stared at him, "Are you still talking nonsense to me?"

Eunuch Wang immediately subdued and comforted him, "Don't dare, I just feel that you are thinking about this matter a little too early, Your Highness? You are still young..."

"Aren't I already going to be the emperor at such a young age, I have to say it once, otherwise who can value me?" Chen Jinwu said in an unquestionable tone, "I must not let others manipulate me, I must revive the Great Zhou Dynasty .”

Three days later, Chen Jinwu's enthronement ceremony went smoothly.

The entire Zhong family was summoned into the palace and rewarded with gifts.

Zhong Xingyan was logical, not beyond everyone's expectations, he was conferred the title of Zhongguo Gong, hereditary, Sanskrit was conferred the title of first-rank wife, Zhong Xingqi was conferred the title of Xiaoyi Bo, and Tian became Mrs. Zhong. , she is also smiling, very satisfied.

All the meritorious officials were rewarded, and this time Zhang Wenqing was awarded the position of sixth-rank general because of his meritorious service in protecting the city, which made him feel happy and more motivated.

Fanyin smiled and looked at the aloof Chen Jinwu, and Chen Jinwu was also looking at her at this time. The two looked at each other, and Chen Jinwu suddenly grinned.

Standing up, Chen Jinwu looked at the courtiers in the hall and said:
"I have become the youngest of the emperors of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and I need the help of many nobles. Here, I bow to everyone!"

As Chen Jinwu said, he cupped his fists and bowed to everyone. All the ministers were shocked and stunned.What kind of trick is this little emperor selling?
When everyone was slandering in their hearts, Chen Jinwu smiled even more happily, "I am enthroned today, and I will reward all the ministers, but I still have a request, I hope Duke Zhong and Mrs. Zhong can agree, I don't know if it will work?"

Chen Jinwu looked at Zhong Xingyan and Fanyin with a smile, and the couple looked at each other. It was not good to have the same secret, but all the ministers stared at them in unison. Who would dare to refuse the matter at this time?
Unless it is not afraid of being drowned by everyone's saliva.

After conferring the duke and his wife, the little emperor bowed to all his ministers to ask for help. When everyone was so grateful, how could he still ask for help like this?It's unreasonable both emotionally and rationally.

Zhong Xingyan's face was dark, and he could only nod his head and said, "Please give orders, Your Majesty."

"I want to marry your daughter. I will make a baby kiss now. When she is two years old and can leave, I will pay homage to the hall!" Chen Jinwu's childish voice echoed in the court hall, and everyone looked at him stupidly with their mouths wide open. speechless.

"Two, two years old, Baitang?" Sanskrit nearly blinked his eyes, "How is this possible?"

"After the hall worship, she was still living in Zhong's house before she reached Ji's age. I will marry her into the palace again when I reach Ji's age. That's it. This is my first wish since I became emperor. refused?"

Chen Jinwu could not doubt it, "Okay, that's it, retreat!"

Seeing Chen Jinwu's wink, Wang Gonggong immediately waved his whisk and screamed: "Retire!"

Chen Jinwu swaggered away with his hands behind his back, while Zhong Xingyan and Fanyin were surrounded by all the officials, listening to their unconscionable congratulations with gritted teeth.

Fanyin looked at Zhong Xingyan, "Why do I think this is not a good thing?"

Zhong Xingyan only felt his scalp go numb, and with a gloomy face, he roared in a low voice:

"I want to resign! Resign!"
