King's Landing: This attack is about to ascend the throne

Chapter 35: The Egret on the Sky

When the time came to May, the rumors that Lord Jiedu was conferred the title of King of Fujian were finally confirmed.

This is something that makes the people of Fujian rejoice.Over the years, under the governance of Lord Jiedushi, Fujian has been doing well, and everyone has seen it.Today, the world is divided and wars are frequent, and the Jiedu Envoy who becomes the King of Fujian will surely be able to secure Fujian in the south of the Yangtze River and keep one side peaceful.

And the benefits that come with it benefit the people of Fujian, from the scholar-officials to the common people.Fujian no longer pays taxes to the Central Plains court, but instead pays tribute, and the tax payment of Fujian people can be halved.It turned out that the aides under Lord Jiedushi's sect saw that they were all appointed officials one by one.And several sons of King Fujian were even promoted to the title of nobility.The number of officials in various states and counties has also doubled.

The Palace of the King of Fujian was rebuilt on top of the former Governor's Mansion, and the whole area of ​​Fujian began to regard the enrichment of the Queen's Palace of the King of Fujian as a top priority of the government.This selection into the harem must be a dream for a young woman, as if the sparrow on the branch turned into a phoenix in the sky overnight.Not to mention the inexhaustible splendor and wealth of the woman herself, even the rest of the family has been completely reborn.

Simultaneously with the selection of the harem, the selection of the entourage in the palace is carried out. After all, the emperor has not yet established a country, so there is no need for eunuchs, which violate human relations, and the palace ladies do not have to enter the palace as deep as the sea.In fact, the palace maid and the attendants are jobs with an iron rice bowl in the final analysis. If you want to go home and ask for a leave, you can go out of the palace. Therefore, everyone is scrambling to let their children sign up for the selection.

Especially the ordinary people in the various prefectures and counties are eager to send all their children into the harem. For them, Fuzhou City, the capital of the King of Fujian, seems to be the city in the sky that is out of reach.It's a pity that they lost to the dignitaries of Fuzhou City at the starting line.

According to regulations, each family in each prefecture and county can only select one young boy and woman at most, and they will be sent to Fuzhou City for the final rounds of selection after layers of screening.And the dignitaries in Fuzhou City can choose to send up to two young boys and girls per household, and they will directly enter the final rounds of selection.

The important task in the house naturally fell on Anu, which was also the original intention of Taifu Zhang when he bought Anu: to send him to the palace to serve the King of Fujian.However, this proposal was rejected by Mrs. Lian.It turns out that Mrs. Lian has always wanted Anu to serve Yan Chen for the rest of her life.

However, in this way, how can we share the worries of the king of Fujian whoever we choose to enter the palace?Zhang Taifu's thoughts are very meaningful.

The territory of Fujian is so big that there must be a lot of people who are better than Anu and want to enter the palace. Why should the master worry about this for the king of Fujian, and we have such a caring follower beside Yanchen, how can I bear to look at Yanu? Chen has been alone ever since.What Mrs. Lian said makes sense.

In the end, Zhang Taifu had no choice but to obey Mrs. Lian's words and gave up the candidate for the harem.But this matter is not over yet, they never imagined that Prince Wang would be involved.

The Jiedu envoy, Wang Shenzhi, was granted the title of King of Fujian, and several of his sons became princes.Therefore, Wangzheng has changed from a prince to a prince.

A few days ago, Anu sewed the cracked ice silk dress that Wang Zheng gave to Yan Chen.That day, Yan Chen wore this ice silk and brought Anu to Simen School.Anu wandered around the elegant Confucian Temple with Yan Chen, but Wang Zheng did not want to come in front of Yan Chen.

At first, Wang Zheng was still respectful to Yan Chen, and asked some allusions from poems and books, showing the character of respecting teachers and teaching.Later, Wang Zheng chatted with Yan Chen about clothes, his words revealed indecent feelings, he completely ignored the eyes and ears of others, and even ignored Anu completely.

Yanchen, you are finally wearing the clothes I gave you today, otherwise I thought you didn't like the clothes, or because you hated me and hated the house.Wang Zheng said.

Why, it's too late for me to like it, how could I hate it, it's just that a few days ago, there was a little problem with this dress, so I have been afraid to put it on, and now I can't wait to put it on.Yan Chen said.

Anu heard what they were talking about affectionately, and suddenly saw that the hands of the two were quietly holding together.

Ever since Mrs. Lian persuaded Zhang Taifu to keep Anu by Yan Chen's side, Yan Chen has kept silent, maybe he was waiting for an opportunity, or maybe he was waiting for Anu's voice.

But how could Anu make any sound?For him, it is extremely lucky whether he stays in Zhang Zhai or enters the palace.He is grateful to Yan Chen for his understanding, to Taifu Zhang and Mrs. Lian for their generosity, and to this country and this era.

Mrs. Lian wanted him to stay by Yan Chen's side and serve Yan Chen for the rest of his life, and he was willing to do so.The only thing he worries about is, will Yan Chen be happy for the rest of his life with his company?Anu clearly knows that the person Yan Chen loves is Wang Zizheng!

On this day, Yanchen was about to leave after teaching four subjects.Wang Zheng caught up and was about to grab Yan Chen's hand, but he didn't want to be gently thrown away by Yan Chen.

Yanchen, why are you doing this?Wang Zheng asked.

How could you be so reckless in front of everyone.Yan Chen said softly.

I know, you want to say that I don't know etiquette and shame, yes, I just want to despise the inhuman etiquette and shame.Wang Zheng said a little angrily.

In this thousand-year-old state of etiquette, it is not easy to despise etiquette.Yanchen said.

How difficult is it to change the social climate? If I become an emperor in the future, I will open a few kilns along the street and compete with brothels. Perhaps half of the men in this world prefer that young man.Wang Zheng said without hesitation.

In today's world, the country is broken and the mountains and rivers are broken. The princes and princes of various places do not want to drive out the captives and unify the mountains and rivers.Your father, the king, has been serving as the envoy of the mighty army for many years. He has always been a vassal of the Central Plains orthodoxy, and he does not want to separate the country and set up a southeast.Now being named the king of Fujian is also a reward from the orthodox Central Plains, and he has no intention of proclaiming emperor or splitting at all.And you, who have just become a prince, dare to think about the affairs of the emperor in the future, so that you can do whatever you want, to satisfy your own selfishness, regardless of the social atmosphere.Do you really think so?for me?Yan Chen spoke very calmly.

My heart has been made up, I am willing to stay with you forever, even if I become a commoner.Wang Zheng said.

After hearing this, Yan Chen gritted his teeth, turned around and left.

Only then did Yan Chen realize that he shouldn't say such insincere words.Yan Chen understands that Wang Zheng will not let it go easily, and he will try every means to stop this matter after he returns.

Originally, although Yan Chen said that he had no intentions for Anu, he still knew that he could not stay alone for the rest of his life. His mother liked Anu, and Anu was a person who understood him. Instead of letting him go to the harem, he might as well stay by his side. good.

However, Wang Zheng must have difficulty understanding Yan Chen and Anu's difficulties, and wondered what he would do, especially regarding Anu's safety.Thinking of this, Yan Chen decided to confess to his mother and refuse to marry Anu in order to protect Anu from the persecution of the king.

That night, Yan Chen found Anu and asked him to confess everything to Mrs. Lian with him.

Babies are not good at women, and they like Longyang's prosperity.Yan Chen was straightforward.

Confused, you are confused in reading and reading, how can the addiction of broken sleeves be compared with the inheritance of the family, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand now, when you are mature and sensible in the future, you will naturally thank me for everything I have arranged for you today.Mrs. Lian seems to have had a long-term plan, and she has seen through Yan Chen's heart.

However, Anu...Yan Chen was about to defend himself, but was stopped by Mrs. Lian.At the right time, Wang Zheng rushed to Zhang Zhai with the password of King Min.To Anu's surprise, the guards from Liu Congxiao also followed.The remaining guards read the password of King Fujian:

Hearing that Yanchen, a scholar of the four sects, has both ability and political integrity, he was specially recognized as his adopted son, changed his surname to Wang, and was granted the title of His Royal Highness Nine Princes.In addition, I heard that Zhangzhai's entourage, Anu, was well-informed, and he was specially called as an entourage. He entered the palace with Yanchen to serve the prince's government.

These two passwords were a good thing Zhang Taifu dreamed of, but they completely shattered Mrs. Lian's plan.Neither Anu nor Yanchen thought of this ending. For them, this may be the best result, but Anu never expected that the one who announced the news was actually spending the first night with him and asking himself to wait for his stay. bodyguard.

It turned out that after hearing what Yan Chen said today, Wang Zheng was extremely desperate, wishing to let Anu disappear and call Yan Chen his own.In a fit of anger, he ordered Liu Congxiao to find someone to do Anu.Finally, under Cong Xiao's persuasion, Wang Zhengcai changed his mind and asked his father Wang for help.

At this time, the selection of the harem was in full swing. In order to make Anu disappear from Yan Chen's presence, Wang Zheng greatly praised Anu in front of the King of Min. He told the story from Yan Chen that he went to Gantang Port to fetch ice silk. The matter, and the fierce fight between Zaizhang and the red flower and the blue flower, were told to King Min.

When King Min heard about Anu selling himself to bury his mother, he suddenly remembered his fate with Anu.Only then did the king of Fujian issue an order to call Anu as his entourage.On the other hand, in order to take Yan Chen as his own, Wang Zheng conveyed Yan Chen's words about the power of the world to the King of Min, and determined to learn from Yan Chen, and never try to establish a country and call himself emperor, so that the people of the Li people The most important thing is to unify with the mountains and rivers.

King Min praised angrily, and he had another password.

In the third year of Kaiping in Houliang, in May, Fuzhou City, the capital of the King of Fujian, was established.

On the day when Anu first entered the Fujian Palace, the sky was overcast and gloomy, which seemed a bit unusual for Fuzhou City in early summer.That day was the first time in Anu's life that he came close to the palace.

When the guard of honor passed by the gate of Dudu's Mansion, he quietly watched the noise and bustle of South Street until a big banyan tree blocked my sight.

Anu remembered what someone once said to him: Anu, you remember, your surname is Chen, you are the noble son of the Chen family, one day, you will surely sit in the Golden Luanfeng Palace.

After entering the palace, the chief manager of the harem told Anu that after some time, when the selection reached the final round, he would be asked to meet the King of Fujian together with other followers.As a result, Anu had no choice but to stay in the lonely harem, waiting for the arrival of others.

Standing in the empty courtyard of the harem, Anu looked up at the sky above the palace. It was originally an extremely clear blue sky, but suddenly a few more dark clouds appeared.

In a pond in the courtyard, a few egrets lowered their heads and held their breath, not wanting to drink water, but looking for opportunities to prey on fish swimming in the water.

Suddenly, a fallen leaf fell from the sky, startling the egret to spread its wings and fly into the blue sky.
