187. Nine Thousand Years and Little Empress 5
The emperor's resolute actions almost prevented all the ministers from reacting in time. The fact that such a Wuyi emperor appeared in the palace, and she wanted to recognize Jiu Qiansui as her adoptive father, aroused intense discussions among the ministers, and was finally suppressed by Chen Jian'an go down.
Even Qingxu Daoist, who had been devoting himself to cultivating the Tao and ignoring the mundane world in the early years, unexpectedly spread the news that Wuyi Emperor Ji had a natural father-daughter relationship with the nine thousand-year-old Zhou Zekai, which made many people shut up .
The most despised among the aristocratic families is Zhou Zekai, who is nine thousand years old. Back then, Zhou Zekai betrayed the aristocratic family to hang out with Chen Jianan, and even advised Chen Jianan. The little prince they looked down upon can now become a high-ranking emperor, and Zhou Zekai, who was plotted against, has also become the person they want to bow down when they meet.
In and outside the palace, apart from the emperor who would kneel on the ground and proclaim long live, Zhou Zekai was the only one. Everyone who met him could only greet him with kneeling bows and proclaim nine thousand years old! It is really like what Chen Jian'an said in the court, willing to share with Jiangshan.
The Zhou family strongly supported this matter, and even went against other families. Although it is said that they should not help the emperor too much, it is always right to help their own children, right?
Over the years, the Zhou family has tried every means to see Zhou Zekai. Apart from making up for guilt, seeing that Zhou Zekai is alone now, they thought that adopting their own children to Zhou Zekai would be better than Zhou Zekai's emptiness. Both the eldest son and the second son now have several sons, and it is precisely because of Zhou Zekai that they have so many children.
After all, it was their Zhou family who were sorry for this child, and they always wanted to find a way out for this child. Now that the emperor let Emperor Ji of Wuyi recognize Zhou Zekai as a adoptive father and enjoy the family happiness, they are naturally in a very good mood. The other courtiers who directly confronted this matter had nothing to say.
The Zhou family is not lonely in the aristocratic family now, but it is not at the top either. To put it bluntly, if Zhou Zekai, who is nine thousand years old, has not supported him, he might have been swallowed up by other aristocratic families. It is both guilty and distressed.
His family Mingxu didn't contact his family, other than because of what happened back then, why wasn't he surrendering to the emperor? Only when Zhou Zekai is alone can their Zhou family be better and live better under Zhou Zekai's protection.
When Zhou Zekai's father, Zhou Xinqi, returned home from the next dynasty, his brows were tightly frowned, and his expression was not very good.
In the past, the Zhou family would not go to court. Because of their relationship with Zhou Zekai, the Zhou family always listened to the announcement outside the hall. This time Zhou Xinqi entered the hall because the youngest son almost died. He quarreled with the courtiers.
Thinking of this little son, Zhou Xinqi felt very painful. If the Zhou family is his next generation, among the three sons, only this youngest son is the most outstanding. He has read a lot of books at a young age, and at the age of fourteen he has been able to compete with great Confucians. He is a genius from heaven. But no one expected that such a thing would happen...
Zhou Xinqi's eyes turned red when he thought of the red brocade robe that he had peeked at from the court today.
Mr. Zhou also received the news a long time ago, and now the Zhou family is sitting in this hall, waiting for Zhou Xinqi to speak.
"Ming Xu, how is he?" Mr. Zhou was now gray-haired, seeing his son's red eyes, he also sighed, feeling very embarrassed.
"...Yeah." Zhou Xinqi nodded, and just such a nod made Zhou Xinqi's wife next to him cry into tears. If it was said that the son left home, it would be the blood relative who felt the saddest.
At that time, Zhou Zekai's words were picked by Mr. Zhou himself. Ming Xu, tomorrow's rising sun, is the hope of their Zhou family in the future, but what about now? But now it can only end up in this desolate situation.
"He is still wearing his favorite red brocade robe, and his charm is still the same as before. Even when he has grown up, he is somewhat similar to his father when he was young. Today, all the ministers in the court oppose him becoming the adoptive father of Wuyi Emperor Ji, but who are those people? Can you think of the desolation under my son's knees?"
Zhou Xinqi said with red eyes, and unconsciously thought of what he looked like when he saw his son today in his mind, which made everyone who heard it red-eyed, especially Zhou Zekai's two brothers, who were also very uncomfortable.
The Zhou family has always been peaceful and happy. The relationship between the three brothers has been very good since childhood. Because of Zhou Zekai's natural precocious intelligence, the three brothers even have their homework arranged together. Naturally, they cannot be compared with ordinary brothers. Regarding the matter of the Zhou family, the eldest and second child of the Zhou family even knelt together outside for three or four days. Unfortunately, in front of the family and the persecution of those aristocratic families, the Zhou family could only lose their car to protect their handsomeness.
At this time, everyone thought of that stubborn young man in red, who seemed to have become a stranger after parting in those years, and now their Zhou family is under the protection of A Kai, so what? That's what Ah Kai earned all his life...
"However, Mingxu handed me a letter and asked me to hand it to you personally."
Taking out the letter secretly handed to him by the eunuch from his chest, Zhou Xinqi wanted to know what would be written in the envelope countless times along the way, but he did not open it after all, but chose to come back and tell his father.
Mr. Zhou took the envelope, opened it with quick hands and feet, unfolded the letter paper, and saw Zhou Zekai's familiar font. He felt his eyes heat up, and he held his breath for a moment. It was taught one sentence at a time, but seeing each other now seems like a long time ago.
The more he read what was written in this letter, the more terrified Mr. Zhou became. After reading it, his face became condensed.
He really never expected that his grandson would have such boldness and such great ambition...
"Father, what did Xu Yang write?"
Zhou Xinqi couldn't wait any longer, thinking that something happened to Zhou Zekai in the palace. As a father, he was always worried about his son.
As for Mr. Zhou, after refolding the letter and putting it in his cuff, he looked at the people in the hall and said.
"Boss, announce it, all the heirs of the Zhou family will go to the study."
After finishing speaking, he stood up from the chair and walked towards the study. He had to think about it, think about it...
Zhou Zekai naturally knew how useful his letter was, but he was also willing to do so in order to pave the way for his little Empress.
Zhou Zekai, who had returned to the Tai Chi Hall, lay down on the small couch and started reading again. After reading for a while, he realized that there were many people in his hall.
"Le Yi, how is Wuyi Emperor Ji's arrangement?"
As the chief steward of the Taiji Hall, Le Yi hurriedly said what Zhou Zekai said.
"Nine thousand years old, don't worry, the younger one has arranged for the little Diji in the side hall. There are six wet nurses and fourteen maids to take care of the little emperor. Please don't worry about nine thousand years old."
Le Yi was so overjoyed that his adoptive father, who was nine thousand years old, was able to become an imperial daughter. These rootless people, as they grow older, will recognize some young eunuchs as godsons, but that is to say Well, it's all mutual use, but who ever thought that my family is nine thousand years old, so it's okay when I don't have children, but when I have children, I will be like Diji all of a sudden... It's also what makes Le Yi treat this Wuyi Diji There is a 100% favorable impression!
After all, this Empress Wuyi not only recognized her 9,000-year-old adoptive father, but also lived in the Taiji Palace in the future, not to mention that the Empress Qingfang in this palace has no title yet! Wuyi Diji has it, which is enough to prove the emperor's love for Wuyi Diji.
"Well, you worry a lot about Di Ji, I'm quite at ease with you."
Zhou Zekai nodded. Seeing that Le Yi had arranged it so well, he felt relieved. This Tai Chi Hall is full of his own people, so it should be no problem to take care of the little Di Ji.
"Le Yi is able to have today, all thanks to Nine Thousand Years, the little Diji will be Nine Thousand Years' daughter in the future, Le Yi is naturally happy for Nine Thousand Years."
Le Yi's round face is smiling now, which is kind of cute. He is really happy, and sometimes he even thinks how great it would be if he could have a descendant when he gets older.
"Okay, don't put a high hat on me. Take good care of this Diji, and you will be of great benefit in the future." Zhou Zekai threw the book to Le Yi. He knew that although Le Yi had a bully face, she was She is extraordinarily thoughtful and handles many things perfectly, so she will inevitably become a pawn in Chen Fangfei's hands in the future, so the benefits are naturally great.
"Hey~" Le Yi said with a smile, tidying up the books and putting them aside.
"Nine thousand years old, do you want to go see Di Ji?"
Although this newborn child only eats and sleeps, but at least it is their nine thousand year old daughter, which is different.
Zhou Zekai thought for a while and got up from the couch.
"Let's go, go see her, and see if there is anything that needs to be changed in our side hall."
Children suddenly came to the place where adults lived, so naturally a lot of changes were needed.
The two soon came to the side hall, saw the nanny standing by the side, and the maid guarding the bed, they leaned over to have a look, and sure enough, the little doll was still sleeping.
The best silver charcoal was burned in the hall, which made Zhou Zekai frown.
"Is there no floor dragon in this side hall?"
If there are earth dragons, they will not burn charcoal, even if the silver charcoal is already the best charcoal.
"Back to Nine Thousand Years, when the earth dragon was laid in the main hall a few years ago, the side hall was just to keep it cool, so there was no earth dragon installed. However, there is charcoal burning in this room, so the little emperor won't freeze."
Le Yi hurriedly replied, about the earth dragon, Le Yi can only sigh that his adults enjoy it, and the only ones who can afford to live in the earth dragon palace in this palace are their adults, except for the emperor and queen mother. Concubines and the like are now burning charcoal for warmth.
"Someone will send Di Ji to my room to sleep later, this baby smells bad of burning charcoal."
The main hall does not only have one room, at least eight or more, it is still possible to accommodate a baby, Zhou Zekai does not think this silver charcoal is a good thing.
Naturally, Le Yi hurriedly agreed, and let the wet nurses and maids quickly make arrangements...
