Chapter 733: Named a Prince, and Lead the Army on My Behalf
Xiao Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll trouble you, sister."
"It's not a problem, but do you want to get married now?" Xiao Yao asked.
"Of course we have to wait for Father and Mother to come back."
"Well, tomorrow morning, I will reward all the heroes who contributed to the Jinzhou Rebellion. At the same time, as Yuecheng State is restless, I will prepare to send someone there," she looked at Xiao Zhenzhen, "Send Zhou Yiqing there."
"Ah?" He just returned to the capital and is going to fight in the south?
"If he wants to be the prince consort, then the merit of suppressing the Jinzhou Rebellion alone is obviously not enough."
"It's just an official position, it's not important." Xiao Zhenzhen said in a low voice.
"You think it's unimportant, but that may not be the case. He also thinks so. Besides, my Cangyun country also needs young generals."
Since it is what the country needs, Xiao Zhenzhen can't say anything more.
But Zhou Yiqing had just fought one rebellion after all, "Will you send General Wei as the chief commander?"
Logically, Wei Shuying, who has combat experience, should be sent, but there is really no need to attack a small country like Yuecheng.
"Then please allow me to go with him."
"Are you going too?"
Xiao Zhenzhen pursed her lips, "Anyway, I'm in the palace," she looked at Xie Yunchu, then at Xiao Yao, "I can only watch you show your affection, how is it different from being with father and mother?
"Just wait until the affairs of Yuecheng Kingdom are settled, and then come back to the capital, right, Brother Yunchu?"
Xie Yunchu smiled slightly, "Yeah, that makes sense."
Xiao Yao said: "Then you should take a good rest these few days and don't overwork yourself."
"Of course, but if I go there, will you give me some kind of official position?"
"You are not kidding, who do you want to be--" Wait, Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Zhenzhen, although Zhen'er was young, she was a member of the royal family and a woman.
If she follows Zhou Yiqing to gain experience in gilding her reputation this time, and if, together with the autumn imperial examination, some female candidates are recruited and promoted, wouldn't the status of women in Cangyun Country rise?
"Sister?" Xiao Zhenzhen felt that her sister's eyes were a little creepy, so she looked at Xie Yunchu for help.
As Xiao Yao's companion and bedmate since childhood, Xie Yunchu knew what Xiao Yao was thinking, so he said, "This is indeed a good idea."
"But it's not the title of Princess." Xiao Yao thought for a while, "It's the Prince of Jin and the Prince of Ning. Which one do you like?"
Xiao Zhenzhen: “Ah???”
"Prince Jin or Prince Ning, choose one."
"Sister, are you saying that you want to make me a prince?"
"Correct."
"Is this appropriate?"
Xiao Yao asked, "What's inappropriate? Ask Yun Chu, is there anything inappropriate?"
Xie Yunchu said, "There is nothing inappropriate about it. In the previous dynasty, the emperor's aunt was named the Grand Princess, with the same status as the princes. The emperor's sisters were named the Grand Princess, with higher salaries than ordinary princesses. The princess is just based on the status of her birth mother. If Zhen'er only goes to war in the name of a princess, her status and rights are not obvious enough."
"So, you will be made a prince and I will personally lead the army. When you return victorious one day, who dares to say anything? Women are good for nothing except the harem."
"Ayao, you really killed two birds with one stone. Not only did you fulfill Zhen'er's wish, but you were also able to contribute to the subsequent regime."
Xiao Zhenzhen listened to her elder sister and Xie Yunchu talking back and forth, and finally understood her elder sister's intention, "There has never been a precedent before."
"If there is no example, then we will create new ones!" Xiao Yao said firmly.
Xiao Zhenzhen looked at her elder sister's newly revealed imperial aura and her heart skipped a beat. The words of her father, her mother, and Tao Wenjun replayed in her mind.
If she, as the queen of Cang Yun, goes to war and wins, it will be a major milestone for the women of Cang Yun to fight for their due rights!
"Sister, I choose King Yue!" Xiao Zhenzhen felt her heart beating like a drum in her chest.
King of Yue!
Good, wonderful, the Yuecheng Kingdom is so unyielding to the rule, the King of Yue will destroy Yue, "Good, the King of Yue is the best!"
"Sister, I also want to go to the morning court tomorrow!"
"it is good!"
"Tomorrow, I will take the initiative to go to war!"
"Okay, Zhen'er, you are great. When the time comes, I will let Jianwu go with you. He will definitely protect you!"
"Yeah!" She knew the dangers of the battlefield.
But since Zhou Yiqing needs military merit, and her identity can bring certain benefits to her elder sister's political decree, why doesn't she go?
Since you enjoy the preferential treatment of a royal princess, you should also do things for the people of the world!
"Sister, I have something else to do."
"where are you going?"
"I have to leave the palace, I have to find Zhou Yiqing, I have to explain it to him clearly." Although she felt that Zhou Yiqing might not think it was shameful to work under a princess like her, she still felt that she should reveal it in advance.
She is obviously very confident.
But why do I feel so heavy?
"Okay." Xiao Yao knew what her sister was thinking.
Just like she is the empress, she would also be a little cautious in front of Xie Yunchu, after all, he is her sweetheart.
Xiao Yao ordered Jian Wu to follow Xiao Zhenzhen from now on and protect Xiao Zhenzhen's safety closely.
Jian Wu clasped his fists and accepted the order, then chased after Xiao Zhenzhen.
Xie Yunchu reached out and held Xiao Yao's hand, "Don't worry, Zhou Yiqing will be ecstatic."
Xiao Yao looked at him.
Xie Yunchu continued, "Back then, when you were choosing your lord, I begged heaven and earth, only for you to choose me, only for me to be able to stay by your side. I never thought about men being superior to women, or women being superior to men."
"Your throne is the inheritance given to you by your father."
"For me, as long as you only have me in your heart and love me, it is enough."
Xiao Yao looked at Xie Yunchu and felt relieved, "You are so nice."
"Only a man who is not strong enough and needs a weak woman to highlight his majesty and talent would be so fussy!"
"Love means that she should be good."
"Xie Yunchu, you are so nice, so nice." Why didn't she realize earlier that the man next to her was so nice.
Fortunately I didn't miss it.
"Tang An."
"The slave is here."
"Summon the Left Prime Minister Zuo Ruiyang and the Right Prime Minister Qing Chengshi to the palace to discuss matters. Oh no, it's to draft an imperial decree!"
Let them come into the palace and inform them to confer the title of King of Yue on Zhen'er. As for Zhou Yiqing, how could the General of Jin'an be as powerful as the General of Zhengyue?
It’s decided!
Xie Yunchu stood up and said, "Tomorrow's court meeting is very important. We need to deal with several important matters at the same time. Zhen'er, you should go to bed early. I have to leave the palace for a while."
"where are you going?"
"Go see my brother, and go back to the Duke's Mansion."
Xiao Yao opened her mouth. Why are you so busy when you just came back?
"I'll be back soon, for sure!"
"Ah."
Xie Yunchu approached her, kissed her on the forehead, and then left with a smile.
Zhou Grand Military Governor's Office.
Xiao Zhenzhen came back, Zhou Yuqi, Qingning, and Zhou Yiqing were all happy. After a simple greeting, Xiao Zhenzhen took Zhou Yiqing to his room to talk.
