Chapter 2 Destiny
Qiu Min is the book boy chosen by Zhou's mother for her. He is loyal and reliable, and has practiced martial arts since childhood, and has a strong martial arts.

Zhou's mother would choose him as her book boy, the purpose is self-evident.

With him personally protecting him, he will be more assured on the road of crisis in the future.

After the ceremony, Qiu Min stood beside her.

Zhou Shu was already dressed neatly, wearing a smoky blue round-neck robe, a piece of white jade at the waist, and a white fox fur cloak, holding a hand stove in his hands.

From time to time a low cough or two.

Her diet and daily life are taken care of on weekdays.

Fuxiu is a woman, and she is much more meticulous in caring for people than a big man like Qiu Min.

What's more, she was originally a woman disguised as a man. If Qiu Min, a big man, were to serve her food and daily life, she would be ashamed and shameless in the world.

Usually at this hour, Fuxiu would be by her side, arranging her clothes and tidying up her hair, but today he was nowhere to be seen.

Qiu Min couldn't help being a little puzzled, but didn't ask.

Zhou Shu looked at the doubt in his brow and eyes, and explained in a hoarse voice: "It's still early, I asked her to go down to rest first."

After the words fell, he lifted his foot and went out.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped over the threshold, he saw Fu Xiu, holding a food box in one hand and holding a lantern in the other, walking towards the kitchen from the corridor.

Walking up to Qiu Min, he ordered: "Young master is weak, and it's the first time to go to court. You need to be more careful. I have prepared some food. If you are hungry on the way, you can take out some cushions."

Qiu Min took the food box from her and asked her to put her heart back in her stomach.

"Sister Fuxiu, you can rest assured that I will take care of you, Young Master."

Seeing that Fuxiu still had a worried look on his face, he said again: "Our young master is the new champion handpicked by the emperor, and his official career is open. This is going to the court, not going to die. Sister Fuxiu, don't worry about it."

Having said that, Ke Fuxiu was still worried.

Her son has been weak and sick since he was a child. She heard people say that he stood up and down for several hours. She didn't know how his weak body could bear it?
Moreover, on the day when the imperial list was posted, the young master was called to the house by Mr. Yang Tingli, the servant of the Ministry of Industry. When he came back, the young master looked pale and said that she had rejected Mr. Yang's kindness and wanted to marry Miss Yang to the young master.

Going to court today, I don't know if the young master will be targeted by the Yang family.

It is an inevitable fact that the Yang family targeted her.

Zhou Shu already had a plan in mind, so he spoke a few words to appease Fuxiu.

"Flick the sleeves, Qiu Min is right, I am going to court, not going to die, you should be happier."

After today, she will be a court official with official position.

She is one step closer to overturning the case for the Ling family.

Coming out of the gate of Zhou's house, Zhou Shu got into the carriage.

Outside the carriage, Qiu Min held the whip and said "drive", and the carriage started.

Wheels rolled on the cobblestone road.

After half an hour, he stopped at the gate of the palace.

Qiu Min opened the curtain and helped Zhou Shu get out of the car.

"Young master, be careful."

"Zhuangyuan Lang is really a weak willow and Fufeng."

Weak Liu Fufeng is not a good word, this person is obviously mocking her for being weak.

Zhou Shu didn't get angry, he stood up straight, raised his eyelids to look at the person coming, and when the person approached, he respectfully cupped his hands and said, "Young Minister Yang."

The person who came was Yang Tingli, the eldest son of the right chancellor.

On the day when the list was made, in order to win over Zhou Shu, he sent someone to invite her to his home early in the morning, trying to match her and his little daughter, but who knows, this boy failed his good intentions by being reckless.

That being the case, don't blame him for treating her as a thorn in his side.

Viciousness flashed across Yang Tingli's eyes, and he said coldly: "I can't bear the courtesy of Zhuangyuan Lang."

Zhou Shu lowered his head, not seeing the cruelty in his eyes.

He only replied respectfully: "Although the student has the emperor's life, he has no official position. The servant is worthy of this gift."

As the saying goes: Reach out and never hit a smiling face.

Zhou Shu's etiquette is comprehensive, making it impossible to find mistakes.

Yang Tingli was choked by her words, his face became ugly, and he sneered.

"What a glib mouth, I'm afraid that Zhuangyuan Lang has worked hard to achieve his goal, and his poor management has hollowed out his body. Beware that wisdom will hurt you, it's better to be less calculating."

After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at her, flicked his sleeves, and entered the Golden Luan Hall first.

Behind her, Zhou Shu's fingers hidden under her robe tightened. No matter how weak her body was, she would definitely survive until the day when the Ling family was rehabilitated.

Entering the Golden Luan Hall, the officials headed by the Yang Wan family had already lined up neatly, and Zhou Shu stood at the end of the officials.

With a voice: "Up to court."

Today's Holy Emperor Xuandi, surrounded by a crowd of palace people, stepped forward from the side hall and sat on a gold-painted and carved dragon chair.

Dressed in a red gold gown suit and a crown on his head, his complexion is deep, not angry and majestic.

As soon as Emperor Xuan appeared, all the officials knelt down and kowtowed, shouting in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Zhou Shu also knelt down and kowtowed, shouting long live my emperor.

"All the gentlemen are flat."

The man on the dragon chair raised his hand slightly, and all the officials stood up one after another.

It took Zhou Shu a lot of energy to kneel and worship.

Although it was early spring, she was still dressed thickly, but her body was as cold as an ice cave, her hands were cold, and without the stove, she was frozen stiff.

She couldn't bear to suppress the itching in her throat, raised her eyes a little, and saw Yang Tingli took a step to the left, cupped her hands and said, "I report to Your Majesty, I have an answer."

"allow."

After Emperor Xuan finished speaking, Yang Tingli took out a booklet from his sleeve and handed it over.

"Your Majesty, the floods in the south are serious. Siyi County, Xiangzhou, has been raining continuously for several months, destroying thousands of houses and farms. , now it is urgent to send loyal and upright ministers there, so as to solve this urgent need."

"What Yang Shilang said is true."

As soon as Yang Tingli finished speaking, the Minister of the Ministry of Water echoed him: "Your Majesty, the floods in the south are serious now, bridges and roads are damaged, traffic is blocked, it is not conducive to merchants' trade, and it needs to be repaired in time."

Hearing this, Emperor Xuan frowned and thought.

And the Wan family, who had always been at odds with the Yang family, rarely shared the same stand.

"Your Majesty, I think you can send a doctor from the household department to investigate the whereabouts of the disaster money with the status of an imperial envoy."

"This statement is inappropriate." The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment stood up, "It should be the duty of the Ministry of Punishment to investigate and try criminals. How can the Ministry of Households intervene?"

"Zhao Shangshu, the money came from the Ministry of Households."

"In this way, we must be more wary of some small guards who steal from themselves and use their power for personal gain."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment refused to give way, and Wan Xiaoxuan was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

Behind him, Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites was about to speak for him, but was interrupted by Emperor Xuan's calm voice.

"enough."

Could it be that they regard the court as their own vegetable garden, imitating those vulgar women, and arguing so blushingly, it is simply out of style.

Emperor Xuan was not angry with his prestige, and one by one was forced by Tian's prestige, and he did not dare to show his anger.

Looking at the people below who were as quiet as a chicken for a moment, Emperor Xuan rubbed the center of his brows with a headache.

The art of the emperor is all about balance.

Yang Wan's family has always been at odds with each other, and they have been fighting openly and secretly over the years, forming a clique for personal gain, and he is as clear as a mirror in his heart.

It's just that the disaster situation in Siyi County is serious right now, and there is an urgent need for people who can take on great responsibilities.

However, the two factions only care about fighting for power and victory, and have no awareness of the matter of eating the people's salary and being loyal to the people.
