Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 280 Uncle
Zhou Zongren, Marquis of Wu'an, was lighting up the lamp to practice calligraphy in his study. Since the new emperor ascended the throne, Marquis of Wu'an's mansion was safe from being affected, so Marquis of Wu'an resigned from his original position and became a wealthy idler at home.

In addition to teaching a few grandchildren to read and practice calligraphy during the day, I practice a few big characters in the study room at night.

At the beginning, when the new emperor came to the city, Zhou Yang asked the Marquis of Wu'an to open the Tongji Gate to welcome the new emperor into Beijing.

Marquis Wu An refused. He never imagined that Zhou Yang would dare to turn his back on the court in order to avenge the injustice of Princess Anyang and the late emperor.

This is what he cannot bear.

Even if the imperial court was corrupt and Princess Anyang bullied others, the former emperor would be incompetent.

But Marquis Wu'an never thought of overthrowing the dynasty and supporting others to be emperors.

But what did Zhou Yang say?
He confessed everything he had done before, forcing him to help Zhou Yang open the gate of Tongji Gate against his will.

The Zhou family had already boarded the pirate ship of the Hongying Army, so there was absolutely no possibility of jumping off the boat to protect themselves.

Tongji Gate is the largest gate among the 13 inner city gates in Jinling.Sitting north and facing south, there are three inner urns inside.To the northeast is the fortified imperial palace.

When Marquis Wu'an opened the gate of Tongji Gate with his own hands, he watched the black army of red tassels enter the city and headed straight for the palace.

At that moment, Marquis Wu An knew that Zhou Yang had won the bet, and for the first time he really understood the unknown side of his nephew.

Zhou Yang, that's ruthless enough.

A guard's voice came from outside the door: "Master Hou, the Fourth Young Master is back."

Zhou Yang stepped into the study of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion with a deeper and more dewy air. The candlelight was dancing, and the young man under the light was as gentle as jade, and he looked personable, a rare good boy.

Zhou Zongren looked at his nephew in disgust, and clicked his tongue: "You don't go back to your own yard at night, what are you doing here?"

Zhou Yang stepped forward to salute, and his tone was calm: "Uncle, I want to enter Habayashi Guard."

Since the new emperor ascended the throne, Zhou Yangru followed General Lin to the border for five years as agreed with Zhou Zongren.

Zhou Zongren didn't dare to keep Zhou Yang in the capital, his nephew was too courageous, and he was afraid that one day he would be careless and despise this kid, and he would be tricked by this kid again.

Years ago, King Qin returned to the capital and followed Zhou Yang back to the capital. Zhou Zongren felt bad.

There must be no good things for this kid to come back, he still went back to Beijing with King Qin, if there is nothing to do here, he will not call this kid father.

Sure enough, now this kid is really looking for trouble.

Marquis Wu An held the scroll in his hand, looked at his nephew opposite, and asked calmly, "Zhou Yang, what do you want to do?"

Zhou Yang bowed his head: "My nephew just wants to serve the court."

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Marquis Wu'an pushed the cold tea on the table to Zhou Yang, "Look at your current appearance, have you not eaten dinner, and you don't even know how to take a sip of water? Are you going to Zhen Guo today? Has the government participated in any flower viewing banquet? How about it, but there is a little girl I like, I will ask your aunt to propose marriage for you. "

Zhou Yang took the cold tea respectfully, and drank it all in one gulp: "Uncle, I just want to defend my family and the country, and earn glory for the Zhou family, and I don't want to have an affair with my children."

"I thank you on behalf of the eight generations of Zhou's ancestors."

Zhou Zongren glared at Zhou Yang unhappily, "As long as you live in peace, our old Zhou family will burn eight lifetimes of high incense. And earn a lot of glory, how many heads do you have to chop off? King Qin and the current emperor are relatives." Father and son, why are you involved in the fight between the father and son? Be careful to turn around and bite you when the time comes."

Zhou Yang rubbed his nose, Weng said: "King Qin will not."

"How do you know he won't? I think King Qin is not a good guy if he is silent. Otherwise, why would something happen to him as soon as he returns to Beijing? It's just such a coincidence that the concubine Zhou's people will assassinate him sooner or later." Assassinate, wait until he enters Beijing to carry out an assassination?"

Zhou Zongren stroked his cherished beard, wishing he could pull a few of them off to vent his anger, "You have to remember, your surname is Zhou, and his surname is Chen. When you helped Chen Quan win the world, what did he give you?" ? You were dispatched to the frontier and could not return to Beijing for a few years, the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion is a joke in the capital."

Zhou Yang muttered in a low voice: "Didn't you tell me to go to the border? You still threatened me with this, saying that if I don't agree to you to go, you won't open the city gate."

"You..." Zhou Zongren covered his chest and gasped for breath, "Why did I let you go? If you were in Beijing, I was afraid that you would be killed by Chen Quan. I would let you go to the border to avoid the limelight and come back again. wrong?"

"That's right, uncle is wise and powerful." Zhou Yang was not stupid, he admitted that it was for his own good that uncle asked him to go to the border.

Marquis Wu'an rarely relaxed his expression: "Just marry a daughter-in-law in peace and live, and don't meddle in the affairs of the emperor's family, can't you? You grab the throne for them, and when the time comes, you will die as a dog. I see who you can cry to. "

Zhou Yang had a thick skin: "Look for Uncle."

"Get lost, I'm not your uncle, you are my ancestor." Zhou Zongren stood up, summoned the guards, and gave a few words of advice in a soft voice.

When the guards took the order to go, he turned around and looked at Zhou Yang sideways: "If you don't go to your yard to freshen up, I will ask your aunt to send someone to bring you some food, and go to bed when you are full. Why don't you think about yourself when you're working so hard?"

Zhou Yang was shocked: "Uncle, you don't want me to snatch the throne for you, do you?"

That would be too difficult!

"Fart. I want you to marry a wife early and start a family." Zhou Zongren slapped Zhou Yang on the head, "Do you think that the throne is easy to sit on? If you have the heart, you have to have the fate."

Zhou Yang felt that his uncle might be free, otherwise why would he be a mother-in-law and worry about his marriage now.

He is a man who is ungrateful and ungrateful, so he is not worthy of marrying a wife and having children.

"I've already found someone to get you into the military department. You don't want to go to the Yulin Guard. It's not suitable for you. The Song family has the merits of being a dragon, and Ningyuanhou and Yongyihou had eight acquaintances with His Majesty back then. These places are now considered They guard it like an iron barrel, even if you go in, you won't get any benefits."

Don't look at Marquis Wu'an who spent the past few years playing with his grandson and playing bird fishing at home, he still has connections in Beijing.

In fact, Zhou Yang didn't necessarily want to enter Habayashi Guard, he just found an excuse to see if his uncle made arrangements for him.

It has been almost two months since he came back from the border, and the higher authorities have not arranged any errands for him until now.In fact, he had already guessed that his uncle asked him to come back, so he must have made arrangements for him.

Sure enough, the uncle had already helped him to stay in the position of Bing Ma Si.

Seeing that Zhou Yang nodded in response, Marquis Wu'an felt relieved.He considered it: "If your father finds you..."

Zhou Yang said decisively: "I don't have a father."

"You kid." Marquis Wu An said earnestly, "He is your father after all, you can't do too much and make people criticize you."

"Understood."

Zhou Yang also knew that his uncle was doing it for his own good, so he could only agree first sullenly, so as to save his uncle from worrying about him.

"Okay, let's go eat."

Marquis Wu An watched Zhou Yang's figure disappear into the night, and heaved a long sigh.

The three of Zhou Zongyi and his son absolutely cannot stay in the capital. If he is allowed to continue appearing in front of Zhou Yang, he can't guarantee what Zhou Yang will do!
