Chapter 229: The Founding Goddess of War

"She doesn't have to worry about the future at all. She can make a career for herself!"

Zhou Huanjiu's face turned red when she was praised.

It's not that exaggerated. She's not the most successful one.

But since her mother was so happy, she shouldn't be upset.

Zhou Yu on the opposite side thought that this woman was crazy. How come he could understand each word but couldn't understand them when they were put together?

Next to her, her eldest daughter, who had always been dumb and silent, sat quietly on a chair. The child's toes just touched the ground and her feet could not even fully touch the floor.

Then this crazy woman said, Zhou Huanjiu has been...conferred the title of marquis?

Fifth grade?

Zhou Yu scratched his hair and found lice all over his hands.

He said: "No, are you hysterical?"

"Even if you make it up, at least give a decent reason."

"Let's talk about something realistic. Jiu'er's second brother is doing well in his studies. The teacher at the academy said that if he continues to improve at this rate, he will be able to pass the imperial examinations before he reaches the age of twenty."

"You made it up, but I didn't."

"Anyway, we have signed the divorce agreement. When Erlang becomes successful, our Zhou family will not share a single cent with you."

He was driven out with harsh words, and the garden was finally clean.

Madam Li held her daughter's hand and said happily, "Tomorrow, mother will pack up and tell your uncle the good news."

"Given their level of attainment, I don't know when they will know that my son has achieved great success."

Zhou Huanjiu hesitated: "Mom, there's no need to be so high-profile."

Overwhelmed by the huge surprise, Li didn't care at all, and smiled with her hands on her hips, "That won't work!"

"Wine is my mother's pride, why should I hide it?"

"The top scorer in the imperial examination must ride a horse in a parade through the streets and return home in glory!"

"Your seven points are much more impressive than the top scholar."

"There's not a single dog in the capital who doesn't know this. It's all because my mother didn't spread it well enough."

Zhou Huanjiu: ???

“No!”

“How embarrassing!”

Zhou Huanjiu tried every possible means to stop his mother from showing off her baby.

After a day's rest, she went to the Ministry of Works full of energy on her first day at work.

Not long after Zhou Huan left, Wanyuan became lively again. Zhou Yu rushed over while Madam Li was out.

"Madam! Madam!"

"It's only been a day or so. Have you taken the divorce papers to the government office?"

"We are married for a day and we are bound by love for a hundred days. From now on, I will no longer like men, but I will like you."

"Madam! Madam!"

He was stopped by the servants and could not get close to Lady Li.

After the divorce, Lady Li had a kind of beauty that was free of burdens and was particularly full of vitality.

She stopped talking in a good mood and said to the irrelevant people: "I sent it to the government office to get a divorce on the first day I got it."

"If there is dirt on your body, everyone should wash it off as soon as possible."

"Get lost."

Zhou Yu was still arguing: "It takes ten years to be able to cross the river together, and a hundred years to be able to sleep on the same pillow together!"

"Madam, Jiu'er is my child too. You can't separate us... You vicious woman! Give me back my child!"

After getting on the carriage and driving away, Lady Li opened the curtain, turned around, and ordered the servant who was holding him: "Beat him up and throw him back!"

It would have been better if she didn't say it. As soon as she mentioned the separation of father and daughter, she remembered that seven years ago, the beast kidnapped Jiu'er and gave his place to that bastard.

"Beat me! Beat me hard!"

......

Tu Ning invaded Vietnam, but was beaten back and suffered successive defeats.

Bei Jingchu remembered that it was mentioned in the original book that during the reign of the tyrant, the Yue Dynasty sent a royal daughter to Tu Ning and named her a princess as a marriage partner.

Also gave a lot of tribute.

But it was just mentioned briefly without being written down.

She thought it was just a means to win over foreign countries, but now she thinks that it was at this time that Vietnam lost the war and had to pay tribute.

It must be a very shameful thing for Aye.

Fortunately, this time, the situation was reversed and Tu Ning submitted a letter of surrender.

The war faction and the peace faction argued for several days, but the emperor still couldn't come to a conclusion.

Until he opened an ordinary folder and saw an extraordinary content.

It is a suggestion for Tu Ning's surrender.

He first glanced through it and saw the signature: Your Excellency, the Duke of Renwei, respectfully presents this letter.

Not sure, let’s wait and see.

So he read it again carefully.

After making sure that I had understood correctly, I praised my nephew in my heart: "What a dog!"

This is such a shameless level, he has been a dog for at least ten years.

See what he said.

Accept the surrender and tribute from Tunning, and use this time to continue producing arms.

Then, when they think they are at a truce and are relaxed and unprepared, we can launch a sneak attack.

Is this an idea that a human could come up with?

It hurts, but he likes it.

Bei Heng approved it and ordered the Minister of Rites and the Minister of War to jointly discuss the plan and draw up a set of rules.

After reviewing a few more books, he came across a memorial sent by the teacher of the Hongwenguan, which stated that Bei Qin had completed his apprenticeship and was eligible to serve in the court.

Thinking of the loss just now, the emperor took it very seriously.

We all scholars have a lot of pride, and among his subjects, no one is more shameless than his nephew.

At this time, Bei Qin outside the palace was paying his respects to Princess Xianning.

Sitting next to her was one of her favorite men.

His appearance and figure are not the best, but he has the appearance of a gentleman with elegant appearance.

He was a learned man and often taught Bei Qin.

After Bei Qin left, the two put away the gentle masks of elders.

The concubine stood behind Princess Xianning and said in a mellow voice, "Your Highness, His Majesty has first generously rewarded Xu and Zhou, granting them high positions and generous salaries, and is also planning to select talented women to serve as officials."

"Is this a good situation for you?"

Bei Lunwan wiped the dagger in her hand. The dagger was simple and had nothing in common with the luxurious things she loved. It was a sharp weapon that could kill with one blow and had been exposed to blood.

She did not respond, but sighed: "My brother is really an enlightened king."

The concubine disagreed: "Xu Zhou and his wife have made great contributions to the world, so they should be given high positions and rich titles. How can this be considered enlightened?"

Bei Jinwan laughed sarcastically: "Yes, it's nothing."

"But if they were in the time of the Emperor and the Great Ancestor, even if they had made contributions, the credit would have been given to their fathers and brothers."

"Didn't the Emperor do this?"

The mistress remained silent.

Bei Jinwan continued to carefully wipe the dagger in her hand, and said absentmindedly: "Aunt, she is the goddess of war when the country was founded."

"She deserves half of the credit for the establishment of the Yue Dynasty."

"She was the first to enter the capital and open the city gates to welcome my father to the throne."

“I grew up listening to her stories.”

I also remember her warm palms and the joy I felt when I received this little dagger.

I also remember her mysterious death, which had traces of my father.

She is luckier than her.

Because my aunt's brother, the late emperor, was an extremely rigid and suspicious king.

And her brother was an enlightened monarch.

but......

"Ah~" Princess Xianning sighed softly.

"Your Majesty's sudden move to allow women to serve as officials is ultimately a good thing. It would be better if more talents in Dai Viet come to the surface."
