Chapter 129 Lin Houhou
Zhuang Yu sighed, knowing that the tasks in this world were not that simple, but he didn't worry too much, because he could feel that Yu Wenlie was still alive, but he couldn't know exactly where he was.
However, the laws of this world are still stable for the time being, which means that the people who support the laws are not in danger of life.
Zhuang Yu took Gu Ruofei back to the capital overnight. At this time, the capital looked the same as usual. In order to prevent turmoil, the imperial court blocked the news of Yu Wenlie's disappearance, so the people lived their lives as usual without any delay. Didn't realize it was the calm before the storm.
When Zhuang Yu hurried back to the capital, he directly submitted the memorial to see him, and was announced to the palace overnight.
"Ah Yu, you are finally back." It was Lin Houhou who met Zhuang Yu. After Yu Wenlie disappeared? It was Lin Houhou who was helping to manage the government affairs.The two of them have a child who is just one year old, and they don't know anything about it. Lin Wei can only take care of the government on his behalf.
Fortunately, when Yu Wenlie was still there, he didn't shy away from these court affairs to Lin Houhou. He knew that Lin Houhou's brain was much smarter than his own, so he had uncertainties about political affairs. Will it? Talk to Lin Yuhou, Lin Yuhou can deal with it at this time is quite handy.
It's just that Lin Yuhou took charge of the government as the empress, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the ministers. Those brothers of Yu Wenlie who originally thought that he would be imprisoned in the capital for the rest of his life were also ready to move at this time, and they jointly gave... Lin Houhou exerted pressure and wanted to take the top position.
If Zhuang Yu hadn't left Yu Wenlie and Lin Houhou as protection, Lin Houhou might not have been able to bear the pressure long ago.
At this moment, Lin Houhou's face was haggard, and his eyes were red.Originally, Yu Wenlie's disappearance was enough to make her miserable, but there are two sons under her, she must be strong, otherwise no one will protect their son, their son is still so young, without her, In this man-eating palace, what would happen to a young prince? Lin Houhou understood very well.
After all, Yu Wenlie encountered such an experience when he was a child. They agreed a long time ago that they must give their son the best childhood and prevent him from going the same way as Yu Wenlie.
Therefore, although Lin Houhou's physical condition is very poor, her mental state is very good, and there is a raging fire burning in her eyes.
While sending people to search for Yu Wenlie's trace day and night, she took care of all the government affairs by herself and guarded his country for Yu Wenlie.
"How did Ariel disappear?" Zhuang Yu asked strangely.Although he took Gu Ruofei to travel around the rivers and lakes, it was impossible for him to ignore Yu Wenlie's side, so he handed over the entire banker's army in the capital to Yu Wenlie, allowing him to deploy freely.
He absolutely believed in the strength of the Zhuang family's army. With the protection of the Zhuang family's army, how could something happen to Yu Wenlie?
"I don't know either. That day Ariel said he wanted a private visit in a micro-service, saying that he had received a secret seal. Jing Zhaoyin seemed to be in collusion with a foreign race. He had to personally confirm such a big event, so he brought the banker's army A few elites have gone, but who would have thought that after this time, there will be no news from now on." Lin Yuhou said that, her eyes were red again, and she tried hard not to let her tears flow down.
"How could he, as the emperor, go to such a dangerous matter?" Zhuang Yu asked with a frown.
"Yeah, I persuaded him in the same way, but you know his temper, he couldn't stop him, he was a little impulsive. In the end, I couldn't hold him back, so I let him go. I really regret it, if I knew it would have happened. Today, even if I tried my best, I stopped him from letting him go!" Lin Wei said with a sob.
"Then? Jing Zhaoyin? Didn't you send someone to search?" Zhuang Yu asked.
"I was afraid to scare the snake away, so I dispatched the banker's army to search secretly, but they searched around and came back and told me that they didn't find any clues." Lin Wei said.
"Then? That's weird. How could such a big man disappear out of thin air?" Zhuang Yu frowned and asked, "Then? Those from the Zhuang family's army who followed Ariel disappeared, too?"
"Yes, not even a corpse was found." Lin Houhou nodded.
"I understand. Now that the matter has come to this point, don't be too sad. Pull yourself up, I will leave the political affairs to you, and leave the safety to me." Zhuang Yu said.
"Then? How can it be done? I'm just handling the political affairs on my behalf. Since you're back, you should continue to help Ariel handle it. We all absolutely trust you." Lin Yuhou waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I'm just a woman……"
"What's wrong with the girl? Ariel and I both know how powerful you are. No one else can do this matter except you." Zhuang Yu politely declined.Let him approve the memorial, then? Doesn't he have no freedom at all?That? No way!
Moreover, Zhuang Yu has already fully understood how to complete Lin Houhou's quest line, what he should do at this time is to assist Lin Houhou.
After all, being able to make a child of luck disappear without a sound must be due to the need to promote the plot.
"But..." Lin Yuhou still hesitated. During this period of time, she handled the government affairs on her behalf, and was attacked by the courtiers. If she continued like this, the courtiers might?all?rebel.
"What are you afraid of? With me and the Zhuang family's army, you can do whatever you want." Zhuang Yu saw Lin Houhou's hesitation and encouraged him: "If? If anyone opposes you, you will be demoted and assigned. gone."
"Just treat yourself as the emperor."
Zhuang Yu's words completely shocked Lin Houhou. A thing she never dared to think about came to her mind, but she could feel that she couldn't resist this idea.
Lin Yuhou raised her head and looked seriously into Zhuang Yu's eyes. She didn't know if Zhuang Yu's last sentence implied something, or it was just the superficial meaning, but she was thinking too much.
But what Zhuang Yu gave back to her was firm and absolute trust.
Lin Yuhou's hands under the sleeves gradually clenched into fists, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Okay."
A bold idea has quietly sprouted in her heart.
The courtiers thought that after Zhuang Yu came back, he would take charge of the government on his behalf, but what they didn't expect was that after Zhuang Yu came back, he really went to court, but the first thing he said when he went to court was Support Lin Houhou to continue to take charge of the affairs of state on behalf of Yu Wenlie.
"How can this matter? The queen's duty is only to be in charge of the harem, and the harem cannot interfere in politics!" A minister hurriedly came out to stop it.
"Where did the rule that the harem should not interfere in politics come from? Is it clearly written in the law of our dynasty?" Zhuang Yu asked.
"Not really, but since ancient times..."
"What? Since ancient times, since I haven't followed the law, then this sentence is pure nonsense. I don't want to hear it, and I don't agree with it." Zhuang Yu scoffed.
The minister was choked by Zhuang Yu's words, he hesitated to speak for a while, and retreated.
"But Lord Hou, Queen? After all, she is a woman. It is really inconvenient for her to handle the government affairs. It is better to replace it with someone else." Another minister came out and said.
"Then? Tell me, who should I replace?" Zhuang Yu looked at the minister and asked, "Do you want to say the third prince or the fourth prince?"
Seeing that when he mentioned the fourth prince, the minister's pupils constricted, Zhuang Yu understood that this person belonged to the fourth prince.
"It turned out to be the Fourth Prince. I don't know what kind of benefits the Fourth Prince promised you, so that you can speak well for him." Zhuang Yu asked with a smile.
"I didn't intend to recommend the Fourth Prince." The minister was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground.
Although he is indeed a member of the fourth prince, and the fourth prince has promised him a lot of benefits, all of this is based on the premise that the fourth prince can successfully ascend the throne.Right now, Zhuang Yu is still the last person in the court to offend. How dare he admit his side in front of Zhuang Yu.
"Then? Who do you want to recommend?" Zhuang Yu asked with interest.
"Xiaguan...Xiaguan wants to recommend you!" The minister turned his head and decided to make trouble.
"Then? You can shut your mouth. I don't intend to take care of the government at all." Zhuang Yu waved his hand impatiently.
This time the minister was completely dumbfounded, even if he scratched his head, he couldn't think of it. Zhuang Yuwei?
"Lord Hou, although you are the Lord Marquis of our dynasty, but? It's not your turn to deal with this major political event? You can intervene. Since the emperor has disappeared, the country cannot live without a king. We should find a suitable person to be elected. Take the throne." The third prince couldn't stand it any longer, and stood up and said.
"Are you in a hurry?" Zhuang Yu turned his gun and looked at the third prince: "The emperor still has the prince, how can the throne not come? Your head, right?"
"The prince is still young, how can he take on this heavy burden?" The third prince said proudly: "Of course it should be taken by someone who is more... capable."
"Do you think you are talented? Then? I think you don't have a clear understanding of yourself. Just based on this, I don't think you are talented enough." Zhuang Yu said unhurriedly: "Sage? This Things don't? Can't? Look at age, some people only grow old, but don't grow brains. After living in vain for decades, their brains are still the same as when they were just born."
"You!" The third prince pointed at Zhuang Yu with his index finger angrily.
"What's so angry about the third prince? I'm just giving you an example. Don't you think you're right?" Zhuang Yu asked with a smile.
"Of course I didn't!" The third prince was so choked by Zhuang Yu that he couldn't speak, but he couldn't? Scold Zhuang Yu, once he scolded him, wouldn't he admit that he was the mentally handicapped Zhuang Yu said?
The fourth prince sighed secretly beside him, originally he wanted the third prince to come out to be the first bird, so that he could reap the benefits, but now it seems that the third prince is really not very useful, it seems that he still has to He goes out.
"Your Majesty, don't quarrel with the third brother. Isn't everyone doing it for the sake of the country? I have something to discuss." The fourth prince came out to smooth things over with a smile: "We have no other intentions, but the emperor's nephew is really young. , may not be able to take on such important tasks for a while, and we, as his uncle, naturally have to share it for him."
The Fourth Prince is a smart man, he understands, Zhuang Yu will never? Let the throne fall into their hands, why not adopt a devious policy, first? It is better to take some power while Yu Wenlie is away than to do nothing A prince in name only.
"The fourth prince's heart is very touching, but? You are not in good health, you should take a good rest. Didn't I say that the political affairs will be shared by the queen for the little prince, so you don't have to worry about it. .” Zhuang Yu said.
The fourth prince's face froze. He didn't expect that? Zhuang Yu would not be soft and hard, and he would never delegate power even if he was killed today.
The third prince had already been appeased by the fourth prince, but after hearing Zhuang Yu's words, he exploded again. He was furious at the moment, and he couldn't control much. He pointed at Zhuang Yu and scolded: "I'm afraid that you defend Lin Wei like this. Didn’t she have an affair with her! Really? I’m so pitiful for my younger brother who just disappeared, I didn’t know there was such a good friend and wife by my side!”
Sitting behind the curtain? Lin Houhou, who was listening to the government behind the curtain, clenched the handle of the chair angrily. Today Zhuang Yu told her not to worry about anything, why? He tried his best to clear the obstacles for her, so Lin Houhou sat behind the curtain? She didn't say a word, but when she heard such foul language from the Third Prince, she couldn't help but want to speak.
"Anything? There must be evidence." Zhuang Yu was not at all annoyed by the words of the third prince: "Does the third prince have any evidence for such absurd conjectures?"
"Do you need any evidence? If it wasn't for the two of you having an affair, how could you do your best to help her gain power?" The third prince laughed loudly and said, "How about it, have you seen it through?"
"Why don't you make a bet with the third prince. If? I have an affair with the queen, then? The queen and I will be struck by lightning. On the other hand, if the third prince tells a lie, you will be struck by lightning. How about it?" Zhuang Yu suggested.
"No problem!" The third prince agreed without hesitation.
He didn't believe it at all, how could it be possible in this sunny day with a clear sky outside? There was a sudden lightning strike, and it happened to strike him? himself!
Anyway, as for things like splashing dirty water, as long as you say it yourself, people will definitely believe it.Spreading rumors is something that doesn't cost a lot of money, so he is naturally willing to agree.
But he didn't see the satisfaction and pity in Zhuang Yu's eyes when he agreed.Zhuang Yu himself is the incarnation of law, if you bet with him, then? But there is the witness of heaven.
So the moment the Third Prince agreed, a bolt of lightning appeared in the originally clear sky, and the lightning struck the Third Prince impartially. One second he was still a living person, but the next second he was killed. Split into coke.
"Ah—!" The officials in the palace moved away from the coke in shock.
At this time, a rumbling sound came, letting everyone know that everything just now was not an illusion, and the third prince was really struck by lightning!
Obviously everyone was in the main hall indoors, but this thunder just hit the third prince alone, which means that the gambling city that Hou Ye and the third prince played just now was true, and the third prince told a lie, so he got a reward from the heavens. punish!
"How? Does anyone want to raise objections this time?" Zhuang Yu glanced around and asked.
The body of the third prince was lying on the ground, and the people who had been frightened into stupidity dared to have any opinions. At this moment, everyone shook their heads like a rattle and dared not say anything.
So it was decided that Lin Yuhou would take charge of the government on his behalf.
With Zhuang Yu's full support, coupled with Lin Yuhou's extraordinary ability to govern, the ministers were uncomfortable at the beginning, and then gradually accepted all this.
It doesn't matter if you don't accept it, what if Lord Hou asks them to bet!There are old and young among them, can't they? Die!
In the blink of an eye, three months have passed, and Yu Wenlie seems to have evaporated from the world, and he can't be found at all?!
At this time, the news of the emperor's disappearance could no longer be stopped. Those alien races on the border had repeatedly harassed them, and it seemed that they wanted to take advantage of the turmoil in the country to loot it.
The most important thing for the current state of Yi is to immediately stabilize the government, and only by solving internal problems can it resist foreign aggression.
Zhuang Yu talked to Lin Houhou and let her ascend the throne.
At this time, Lin Yu was no longer as shocked and terrified as she was when she talked with Zhuang Yu for the first time. After three months in charge of the government, her temperament became more and more stable. You already have the appearance of an emperor.
Lin Houhou agreed after thinking about it for a while.
Whether it's for the faint dream in her heart, or to protect the country of her, Ariel and her son, she should take up this burden.
Seeing that Lin Houhou agreed, Zhuang Yu nodded in satisfaction. In the court hall on the second day, Zhuang Yu came out to announce the news.
After Zhuang Yu finished speaking, the ministers were silent.
They knew that Master Hou would not put forward any suggestions easily, but if he did, it would be an earth-shattering event.
But what happened this time? It's not the same concept as letting the queen listen to the government behind the curtain. This is a major event of changing the dynasty!
Since ancient times, there has never been such an absurd thing as a woman enthroned as an emperor. They can't accept it at all!
"The ministers can't? Accept it, Lord Hou, please think twice! The empress? As a? Woman, how can she be enthroned as? Emperor?" A minister came out and persuaded earnestly.
"In the past three months, don't you understand the empress's ability to handle government affairs?" Zhuang Yu said with a sullen face, "Is it her lack of ability?"
"The queen's ability is naturally no problem..." the minister said hesitantly.
For the past three months, Lin Houhou has handled political affairs in an orderly manner, and the ministers also understand in their hearts that Lin Houhou's ability is actually far superior to Yu Wenlie's, and they cannot deny this in good conscience.
"Then? Isn't it enough? Since there is no problem with ability, and the queen has been in charge of the government for so long, and now it is only a change of name, what else do you have to worry about?" Zhuang Yu asked.
"But the queen? As a woman..."
"What's wrong with the woman?" Zhuang Yu said seriously: "Why? Why is the status of a woman lower than that of a man? Aren't men and women all human? Why do men think that they can be superior to others?"
The minister didn't know how to refute Zhuang Yu for a while, but since he was a child, he has been educated like this. Women are inferior to men. Women only need to be a husband and a child. What about all men?
"Since ancient times, the teachings of the ancestors have been like this." Seeing that the minister was stuck, another minister stepped forward and continued: "Women cannot be emperors, otherwise they will lead to disaster."
"Then? You mean, what the ancestor's precept says is what it is?" Zhuang Yu said: "If your ancestor's precept prevents you from having children for the rest of your life, otherwise it will lead to disaster, and you are willing to obey it?"
"This...how is this possible??"
"Why is this impossible? You are just willing to follow the so-called ancestral precepts that are harmful to others and beneficial to you." Zhuang Yu said coldly: "Through this kind of brainwashing from generation to generation, the value of women is killed. , this kind of dross is actually regarded as the truth."
The minister wanted to argue, but he found that everything he wanted to say was blocked by Zhuang Yu.But even so, he also felt unconvinced.Let a woman be the emperor and ride on everyone's head, he can't? Accept it!
"If? Lord Hou, you insist on doing this, then the old minister can only resign." The minister said threateningly.
"Please feel free." Zhuang Yu said: "Nowadays, the court is in turmoil, and the alien races on the border are about to move. In order to stabilize the court, we are now discussing the new emperor's major affairs. Your resignation on your own is not only disloyal to the court. Righteousness, I am even more sorry to the people of the world, if you resign today, you will never use it in the future."
"On the day when the emperor ascends the throne, I will ask someone to draft and record all the events of today, and post them in every corner of the capital."
Hearing Zhuang Yu's words, the minister froze completely.
If Zhuang Yu really did what he said, everyone in the world would know that his resignation today was an act of infidelity and injustice.
But the words had already been spoken, and Zhuang Yu didn't even give him a chance to repent, so he asked someone to "invite" this lord away.
Now that the remaining ministers have learned from the past, they dare not easily say the word resignation. Once it is spread, they and their families will be notorious.
Compared with it, it seems that it is not impossible to accept an empress...
So under the double threat of Zhuang Yu's force and words, the ministers temporarily accepted this result?
There's no way, it's okay if you don't accept it, even if they want to show their ambitions by death, they can't die. There is a row of dealers standing next to them, and every pillar in the hall is surrounded by a thick layer of cushions. At first they didn't understand why it was because it was to prevent someone from committing suicide by hitting a post!
The most exaggerated thing is that the imperial physicians who are not seen at all on weekdays are all waiting beside the hall at this time.
In short, it is impossible for you to die in the hall today?!
He couldn't be beaten, he couldn't die, and he had to have a reputation, so the matter of Lin Yuhou's ascension to the throne was finally decided under Zhuang Yu's efforts.
An auspicious day was chosen, and Lin Houhou was officially enthroned.
The news that a female emperor was born in the Kingdom of Yun was spread, not only the people of the Kingdom of Yun were stunned, but also the other races did not expect it?They thought that Zhuang Yu would take advantage of the situation to ascend the throne, so that they would take advantage of the civil strife.
What they didn't expect was that they thought that the empress' ascension would at least cause some turmoil, but the whole country was peaceful!
For the common people, although the empress came to the throne, they were surprised, but after the empress came to the throne, she immediately promulgated a series of new laws and regulations that are beneficial to the people's livelihood. At the same time, she also gave amnesty to the world and reduced taxes. benefit.
The common people were easily satisfied. Seeing that the Empress's policy was so good, they immediately accepted it.
And the officials above have to accept it if they don't accept it.As he said, Zhuang Yu really wrote down the things that were opposed by the empress before she ascended the throne into official documents, which were posted all over the capital.
Now that official's family has moved out of the capital, they have no face to live here, so they can only find another place.
One month after Lin Yuhou ascended the throne, the court was stabilized, and the foreign race could only withdraw regretfully.
At this time, a disheveled man entered the capital with a few men in the same ragged clothes. As soon as he entered the city, he was attracted by the official documents stuck on the wall, and walked over to take a closer look.
"Fuck! My wife has ascended the throne???"
