As a court official, it is not too embarrassing to be afraid of his wife. Some people are also afraid of his wife. Zhou Yuan was just a magistrate of Yuzhou. Even if he was embarrassed, he would not be left to all the people of the Song Dynasty.

At most, he is a little bit shabby in Yuzhou, but it doesn’t matter. He is afraid that although his wife has more benefits than disadvantages, it also has benefits. The people think that Zhou Yuan, the master, is more friendly to the people.

With 120,000 caution, he came to his house tremblingly.

When I looked up, I saw my boss, the governor, Lord Xu, the colleague, the official, Lord Meng, and his wife, who looked like flowers piled up on her face, and her smile was extremely bright.

Zhou Yuan was confused, what's wrong?

Something is wrong.

He wanted to run out of the house, but when he turned his back to others, he seemed to have returned to a few years ago, which was the Lantern Festival in previous years, with lanterns on the streets like seas. That day, Zhou Yuan was suffering for his teacher Su Shi, but was ridiculed by Zhang Dun. Coincidentally, a humble face appeared at the stairs of the restaurant. Many years later, people have not changed, but they have become more energetic and more confident. The traces of flattery and pleasing on their faces can no longer be found.

Zhou Yuan raised his hand, and felt it was not good, so he hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Eunuch Tong?"

"That's right." Tong Guan did not mean to chat with Zhou Yuan, but raised the imperial edict in his hand and said to Zhou Yuan: "The magistrate of Yuzhou, Zhou Yuan will receive the imperial edict!"

Zhou Yuan's mind was sucked like an electric shock, and he was shocked. He had a thought in his mind: The imperial edict is the imperial edict!

Am I going to develop?

His wife couldn't bear to see it anymore, so she hurriedly walked to Zhou Yuan and pushed her husband, saying, "Why are you still standing there?"

"Yes, put on the incense table!"

"Everything is ready!"

...

The content of the imperial edict really confirmed Zhou Yuan's conjecture. He was about to develop and was promoted to the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture. However, there was something wrong with this Yan'an Prefecture. It was formerly called Yanzhou, but later it was promoted to the prefecture because of its importance. The prefect was in the fifth rank. How long did it take? Should he wear a blazing robe?

Zhou Yuan couldn't believe that he was already preparing to be a salted fish in the officialdom. Suddenly, a huge official hat fell on his head, but he couldn't be happy.

Yan'an Prefecture is a border military town. First, he has no military command ability; second, he has no experience in frontier government affairs. Isn't it very dangerous for him to go to Yan'an Prefecture?

Zhou Yuan stood there, but wasn't actually standing there, but thinking. His wife couldn't help it, so she secretly touched him with her elbow and said, "Why are you still standing there? Please accept the order quickly!"

Zhou Yuan glared at Liu. If he hadn't been used to bullying, he would have decided to divorce her. This woman would be too ungrateful. Zhou Yuan bowed and looked up seriously and said, "I have no ability to lead troops, and I have no experience in military management. Why choose me?"

At this time, Tong Guan represented the emperor. Zhou Yuan had questions in his heart. In the tone of questioning, he naturally asked as a minister.

This was allowed in the Song Dynasty and often happened. Officials chose to refuse because they were dissatisfied with the dispatch. The most famous one was probably Wang Anshi, who lived in a small county for more than ten years and never went anywhere. Some people said that he was to support his hopes, while others said that he was seeking fame. Anyway, the words were not nice, but it was okay to refuse the appointment of the court.

Zhou Yuan was suspicious and uneasy at this moment. Logically speaking, officials with such experience were unlikely to be promoted several levels in two or three years. If the promotion of civil servants was so easy, then who in the court would have to be blind?

Tong Guan smiled and shook his head and said, "You don't need to lead troops to fight, nor do you need to rectify the frontier. Your Majesty will naturally have a reason to choose you."

Zhou Yuan opened his mouth and wanted to ask, but he couldn't ask.

He opened his mouth for a while and had to bow and said, "I will accept the order."

Not everyone is Wang Anshi, nor everyone has Wang Anshi's strong confidence. When Zhou Yuan knew it was the emperor's will, he knew that he had no choice.

"Congratulations to Brother Vichy."

"Brother Meng is happy together, happy together!"

"Brother Vichy, this leap will surely make great achievements. Today I will host a banquet for you!" Xu Zhizhou was surprisingly polite.

"this!"

"It's right in Chunfeng Tower, a good place you often go to." After saying that, the magistrate Xu showed a smile that men knew. Zhou Yuan's heart seemed to be scratched, feeling itchy and uncomfortable. He glanced at his wife, nodded reluctantly and said, "It's a waste for Brother Liu."

"It should be, it should be!" Xu Zhizhou and Meng Tuiguan saw that an angel came from the Zhou Yuan family, so they came together. It was a blessing. If they didn't come, wouldn't they have less chance to win over Zhou Yuan? Zhou Yuan's speed of success this time is simply jealous.

After explaining the purpose of the trip, leave with you.

"Please prepare as soon as possible, our family will enter Beijing with you. Your Majesty is still waiting to report." Tong Guan said a message, leaving room for the couple.

After all, in a hurry, we should always explain a few words to housework.

Zhou Yuan hurriedly led Tong Guan to the side hall and prepared to give him a few instructions. I don’t know if it was a blessing or a disaster to go to the northwest this time? I always felt something was wrong.

But Mrs. Liu couldn't help it and grabbed Zhou Yuan's ear and asked: "How many good things do you have in Chunfeng Tower? Do you want to be the owner of Chunfeng Tower to be satisfied?"

"Let go, let go. What kind of decent form is it? What kind of decent form is it!" Zhou Yuan originally wanted to lower his voice, but his wife was too ignorant of the importance of the matter. With the doubts in her heart, the fire suddenly came up. He didn't dare to do it, and he couldn't beat it even if he did it. He just had a louder voice.

This made Mrs. Liu very angry, with her eyebrows straight and staring at her husband as if she was staring at her enemy: "Don't you seem to want to take a concubine? As long as you become a third-rank official, you will marry you as much as you want. Are you satisfied?" As she said, her tone became sad: "You will be weak when you beat me up, but the women outside don't know the importance of being serious, and you will know how to live. If you lose your body and leave me with my orphan and widowed mother, how can you live!"

Zhou Yuan covered his face, it was not good for childhood sweethearts. He knew everything about him when he was a child. He could let his wife know how old he was to pee at the kang, which was too harmful to self-esteem.

At this moment, he really wanted to hit the pillar at home and live without any shame.

"Bastard, is this kind of despicable person?" Zhou Yuan finally broke free from his wife's destruction, rubbed his ears that were caught red and said angrily.

Mrs. Liu stomped her feet in a suffocating manner: "You are so mean, why do you just go into the tram garden all day long?"

"I……"

Zhou Yuan is exhausted. He just wants to find a partner who can reveal his heart and relieve his worries. Is this wrong?

Through a wall, Tong Guan was focused on eavesdropping on Zhou Yuan's miserable situation of being bullied by his wife. No eunuch doesn't like to listen to the corner of the wall. There is not much fun in the palace, and listening to other people's secrets becomes the joy of most eunuch palace maids.

Tong Guan is a man with great ambitions, but he is not immune to the vulgarity. When he heard the interesting things, he snickered. He was secretly glad in his heart that he was so lucky that he... a woman he had never thought of marrying. When he followed Li Xian, he was still young more than 20 years ago and had no idea of ​​marrying a wife. Besides, when he was young, he couldn't afford to marry a wife. Later, Li Xian fell down and he was unlucky for more than ten years, enduring hardship in the palace, without money in his pocket, let alone being particular about pomp.

That's right, eunuchs actually marry for the sake of pomp.

It was finally time to wait until the big ship that was on board today, and then it improved.

Now that this year, the pursuit of women seems to have been extinguished. In his opinion, women are just a trouble, especially for father-in-law, who cannot pass on the family line. Why should we marry into the family? Even if the wife is pregnant, she might be the bastard? Fortunately, she can withstand the temptation and did not listen to Hao Sui's bewitching, and went to marry a wife into the family.

I don't know how much trouble is missing!

However, Tong Guan was a little anxious. Halfway through the quarrel, the main owner seemed to have stopped.

Zhou Yuan sat on the chair as if he was collapsed and sighed: "You will have to go back to your hometown in the future. Remember not to lose your temper at home, it will be bad for people to hear it."

"It is my responsibility to serve my in-laws, and I will not let someone poke your back and say sarcastic words." Suddenly, Mrs. Liu felt something was wrong. Why did she go back? She felt that Zhou Yuan must have despised him from the trouble and was about to lose her temper. Officials of the Song Dynasty did not prohibit his wife from taking office together. Logically speaking, the wife of the prefect should go to Yan'an Prefecture with Zhou Yuan. Why did Zhou Yuan say that Zhou Yuan didn't want her to go?

But he heard Zhou Yuan say, "Yanzhou, the place where four battles are in the land, there are several magistrates who died here, such as magistrates and more proclaimers. More than ten years ago, even the imperial envoy, Xu Xi died on the border of Yanzhou. What are you doing with such a dangerous place?"

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she cried anxiously: "Master, this is a place where you can die. We won't go anymore, okay?"

"Can you not go? Your order is hard to disobey!"

Zhou Yuan smiled bitterly. Wang Anshi repeatedly refused the emperor's edict, but he was not unlucky, but became more and more famous. But it was his turn, and he dared to bet that if he refused the emperor's edict, he would never want to become an official in his life.

They are Jian Zai’s heart.

But what about him?

His teacher Su Shi doesn't necessarily think of him once a year.

This is the gap, the greatest sorrow between people.

Thinking of the sadness, Zhou Yuan couldn't help but cry, so the couple hugged their heads and cried bitterly. Tong Guan couldn't bear to watch it, so he stepped into the hall and said to Zhou Yuan: "Master Zhou, it's not a sea of ​​swords and fire, why are you crying? Your Majesty is promoted to your official position, are you so unhappy?"

Zhou Yuan twitched: "I'm happy."

Tong Guan felt even more uncomfortable and pursed his lips, "Why can't I see a trace of joy?"

"hey-hey……"

"Forget it, you'd better stop laughing, it's like you're going to hang yourself." Tong Guan said helplessly: "I don't want to hide it from you, but there are some things you can only know when you go to the capital. No one can tell your family or colleagues. Hurry up, there are still people waiting for you."

"Who!" Zhou Yuan felt that there was an unlucky guy with him, and maybe he could feel better.

"Sir Van."

"Which Grand Secretary Van?"

"There is that former prime minister. Don't you think it's a great honor to take the prime minister before he dies, right?" Tong Guan sarcastically said. He looked down on the civil servants like Zhou Yuan, who were acting like a young daughter. If he was like Li Kui, wouldn't he be just happy? Thinking of Li Kui, Tong Guan became sad again, and he couldn't figure out why Li Kui always looked down on him?

Isn't he better than Hao Suimeng?

What can a person like Hao Sui do if he goes to the northwest?

Not a burden yet?

But Tong Guan is different. He can charge forward and get off the horse, and prepare money and food, and communicate whether there is or not. Of course, it is a bit exaggerated to charge forward and get off the horse, but Tong Guan is an official with truly lofty ideals. Unlike Hao Sui, who has no place to become a mother-in-law and mother. Tong Guan only has no place to be, but his beliefs are stronger. If you want to set your ambitions, you can castrate yourself first. This is the smooth road of life.

He wanted to be a eunuch like Li Xian, who conquered cities and lands for the Song Dynasty, and supervised the military and political affairs of the northwest.

A eunuch leader monitored Zhou Yuan's preparation for the ceremony was extremely smooth. It can be said that this was the fastest time he took office in more than ten years of office.

Arrive in the capital.

Zhou Yuan indeed met Fan Chunren, who Tong Guan said.

The old man was very energetic, and compared with Zhou Yuanyi, he was completely different.

"Who are you... Zizhan's disciple, what's your name?"

"It seems that it's called Zhou Yuan, right?"

As soon as Fan Chunren met, Zhou Yuan's face collapsed again. When the old man remembered, he could barely squeeze out a smile on his face: "Sir, I have a good memory."

Fan Chunren waved his hand and said, "No, I'm old and my brain is not as good as when I was young. But don't worry, after the road of Fuyan will be the world of our man, I will protect you." After that, Fan Chunren laughed heartily.

Zhou Yuanxin said: "I haven't left the capital yet? Are you really good to say that?"

Fan Chunren doesn't care. He has done it in power and the prime minister. If he says that the capital is his world, he will definitely be sued. But if he wants to say that Fuyanlu has the final say, he will not care even if the emperor hears it.

He has this confidence because he has enough qualifications. But Zhou Yuan didn't! He was still wondering why his Majesty was reminded of his good magistrate of Yuzhou at once. Fan Chunren could answer his doubts: "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing, it's a good thing."
