Keyboard Immortal Chapter 566: It’s a mess
"Don't..." Chu Chuyan exclaimed and hurriedly stopped his evil hand, "There are still people outside!"
Zuan knew that she was thin-skinned, so I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to be so affectionate with him in the carriage, so she didn't continue, she just stretched out her arms and wrapped her arms around her waist: "Let's hug the head office like this."
Chu Chuyan's body is ice-cold, and it feels very cool and comfortable to hold. It is most comfortable to hold in summer.
"We're already divorced, it shouldn't be like this..." Chu Chuyan's face turned slightly red.
"You can be friends even if you're divorced, anyway, it's not like you haven't hugged before." Zaan said with a sullen face.
"Are there any friends who hug like this..." Chu Chuyan spat, but she also knew that the divorce was just a last resort, so she didn't resist his hug, but put her face on his chest , "Azu, what happened to you along the way, can you tell me."
Zuan laughed dumbly: "I'm afraid you want to hear what happened to me and Manman."
"You're too embarrassed to say," Chu Chuyan sat up straight, her teeth itch when she saw his hilarious smile, "I haven't seen her for a few months, my husband is gone, and I'm still hooking up with my best best friend, I I didn't even ask you to settle accounts."
Zuan hurriedly hugged her and said with a smile: "I'll tell you everything you need to know, my lady..."
Hearing the word "Niangzi", Chu Chuyan's heart softened. Although in the eyes of the world they had divorced, but in her heart, she did not, so she was very happy to hear him call her so naturally. .
The two cuddled so tightly together, recounting their experiences after separation, mostly by Zaun of course.
"You and Manman have lived together in the secret realm for decades?" Chu Chuyan was a little bit jealous, but now Zuan's fate is uncertain, she didn't care about being jealous at all, anyway, Pei Mianman is also her good Friends, it can be considered that fat water does not flow into the field of outsiders.
But after learning that the two of them lived like husband and wife in the secret realm for decades, she finally became restless. How could they be the real husband and wife? I and Azu have never lived together like this.
Zuan felt a little guilty: "Actually, there shouldn't be decades. The flow of time in the trial is a bit strange. It seems that a voice tells you that decades have passed and you are convinced, but you experience it in a flash. It's been a while, not decades."
"Even if there are not decades, there will always be a few years!" Chu Chuyan glared at him, she didn't know why she was angry, but the more she thought about it, the more upset she became.
The anger value from Chu Chuyan+233+233+233...
Zuan gently hugged her back into his arms: "Wife, I'm really happy that you are jealous of me. I thought you didn't care that much about me."
Chu Chuyan's face finally couldn't hold back, and she couldn't help but said angrily: "You guys have to be angry to be happy, aren't you perverted?"
Zuan is very clear that it is not wise to continue to entangle this topic. It is possible that the back house is on fire, so he hurriedly changed the subject and said: "Wife, tell me about the situation in the capital in detail, so that I will not be in the capital after two days. My eyes are black."
He also got some information from Sang Hong and his daughter before, but unfortunately everyone was being hunted and killed along the way, and there was still too little time for communication, so he still knew very little about the situation in the capital.
Seeing that he was going to talk about the serious business, Chu Chuyan's expression also became serious: "In addition to the emperor in the capital, there are eight people with the highest official positions and the most prestige in the court, and they are respected by everyone as the Eight Dukes: Taishi, Taifu, Taibao, Situ, Sikong, Great Sima, Great General."
"By the way, the Shi Kun you offended in Mingyue City before, his father was one of the Eight Dukes, and was the Great Sima Shimiao."
Zuan's face is strange: "Why are the people of the Shi family so strange, it's either sun or shit."
Chu Chuyan: "..."
What the **** is this guy thinking about all day long.
She continued: "Of course you don't have to worry too much. Although Hachiko has a high status, these positions are empty positions and do not actually manage things, so even if you offend the Shi family, it is not as difficult as you think. "
Zuan couldn't help laughing and said, "That Shi Kun had his nostrils turned upside down before. I thought his family was really cool, but he turned out to be just a paper tiger."
Chu Chuyan reminded: "I just said that just because I didn't want you to have too much psychological burden. Although Hachiko is a vacant post, his status is still there. His disciples and former officials are all over the country, and many of their sons and nephews are real jobs. , and you should not take it lightly.”
Zuan smiled: "Anyway, even the emperor is provoked now, and the mere Shi family is really nothing."
"You're optimistic." Chu Chuyan sighed secretly. Indeed, the biggest enemy now is the emperor, and the matter that provokes the Shi family can't be ranked at all.
She then began to introduce the forces in Beijing: "Under Hachiko, there are generals such as the Hussar General, the Chariot General, the Middle Leader, the Middle Protector..."
"The Central Leader and the Central Protector are my grandfather and the others. I have already told you... The Hussar General is held by the King of Qi. Originally, this position is an honorary position, and there is no direct line of battalion under the jurisdiction of the soldiers, but the King of Qi It's too special, and there are still cronies under his command."
Zuan nodded: "Understood, the battle between King Qi and the emperor is naturally not an ordinary person."
I heard too much about King Qi in Mingyue City. On the surface, it was King Qi and his nephew who were fighting for the crown prince. In fact, it was him and the emperor who fought in the ring. It would be strange if he was weak.
"Liu Guang, the general of the chariots, is the father of the current queen, and the elder brother of Liu Yao outside."
Zu Anxin thought that this should be the head of the foreign relative. The emperor raised his status so high, presumably to check and balance the king of Qi.
Although Liu Yao is a ninth rank
, but there is always a sense of sloppy bag, I don't know if his big brother will be more powerful.
"By the way, what is the position of King Liang outside?" Zaan asked curiously.
Chu Chuyan replied: "The King of Liang also served as the post-general."
"The post-general?" Zaun was a little confused, these positions sounded a bit complicated.
Chu Chuyan explained: "It's like this, the leader, the guard, the left and right guards, the cavalry, and the guerrillas are collectively called the six armies. Led by Generals Left and Right, responsible for guarding the palace; cavalry and guerrillas are mobile troops in the palace, used to deal with various emergencies, these six armies are the military forces of the palace.”
"In addition to the imperial city, within the capital city, in front, back, left and right, each has an army responsible for the defense of the city gate and regional security, etc. There are four generals in the front, rear, left, and right, and King Liang is one of the rear generals. "
"On the outskirts of the capital, there are also six troops stationed: Tunqi, Infantry, Demon Knight, Changshui, Shesheng, and Yijun. Their officers are called the Sixth Colonel. These six troops are the main field battles in the center of the empire. Troops, once there is any war in various places, they will go out."
"So it is!" Zaun nodded, finally understanding the military makeup of the world.
Chu Chuyan went on to say: "The power centers in the imperial court are Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province, and Menxia Province. Among them, Zhongshu Province is composed of the emperor's trusted ministers, who discuss important matters with the emperor and are responsible for drafting edicts; The province is responsible for examining and approving edicts; the Shangshu province is responsible for implementing and handling specific government affairs..."
Zuan asked from time to time, and finally understood what was going on. The Zhongshu Department was equivalent to the secretariat of later generations, and basically many important matters were decided by them;
The first in charge of the Zhongshu Province is the Zhongshujian, the second is the Zhongshuling, and below are the Zhongshushilang, the Zhongshusheren and so on.
Many of those people in Menxia Province are eunuchs, more like the emperor's life assistants. After all, those ministers in Zhongshu Province can't live in the palace, and many people in Menxia Province are eunuchs, so naturally there is no such problem.
Of course, it is impossible to let the eunuchs do all the work in practice. After all, the eunuchs have limited knowledge and ability, so the emperor will save many trusted ministers the power to enter and leave the palace.
The number one leader of the province under the door is called the Servant. Generally speaking, there are more than one. There are a total of four in this dynasty. Below are the servants of the Huangmen and the regular servants of the Sanqi.
The Ministry of Shangshu is the executive body, with the commander of the Shangshuling, and the left and right pushes below, and the following are the various ministers.
In many plot dramas in later generations, the protagonist exerts his plan and gets all the ministers and it's over... In fact, the ministers do not belong to the center of power at all, because they are only policy implementers, not policy decision makers.
Although the three provinces in this world have the same status, strictly speaking, the power of Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province is much greater than that of Shangshu Province. Of course, things are not absolute. If the emperor is not strong enough or not capable enough, the Zhongshu Province and the Menxia Province will not play a big role, and the Shangshu Province will become the main decision-making body.
Of course now the emperor is the strongest in the world, and the status of Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province is obviously much higher.
"By the way, Pei Ming, minister of the Shang Shuling, and Pei Zheng, the servant in the province, are all members of the Pei family, that is, the big family to which Manman belongs." Chu Chuyan suddenly remembered something and added.
"Your family background is so awesome?" Zaan's eyes widened. The family backgrounds of the women around him are so awesome that I don't even want to work hard.
Chu Chu Yanxiu frowned: "Manman's position in the family is a little...a little embarrassing, not as glamorous as you think."
Zuan hurriedly asked: "What's the matter with her in Pei's house, and her mother's affairs? It seems that she is anxious to go back to see her mother this time?"
Chu Chuyan was hesitant to say anything: "She will tell you about the Manman family in person in the future. It's not very good for others to say it."
Seeing her so much concern, Zaan thought about it, is it an illegitimate daughter or something...
Chu Chuyan went on to say: "In addition to the three provinces, there are also Jiuqing, who are responsible for special affairs in their respective fields. For example, the Taichang Department, the head of the Jiuqing, is responsible for the affairs of the Tianxia Academy and has a detached status."
Zuan thought of Mingyue Academy, where the teachers and principals are all strange people, and at the same time, they have cultivated a large number of talents. I don't know how many academies in the various states and counties of the entire empire add up to what a huge force.
"This is the general composition of the forces in the capital. Now you haven't seen those people. I'm afraid you can't match the names. If there is a chance in the future, I will introduce you one by one." Chu Chuyan's heart was dark. , After meeting the emperor in Beijing this time, I wonder if Azu will have a chance to come out alive.
Zuan pondered for a moment, then asked: "The last question, among the people you just mentioned, which ones belong to King Qi's line, which ones belong to the emperor's direct line? Which ones are neutral?"
In Mingyue City, the Chu family was so fiercely contested by the two sides. In the capital, these two factions couldn't be beaten out of their heads?
So these relationships still need to be clarified, and after meeting the emperor in the future, it will be a bit of a mystery.
Chu Chuyan cautiously looked out of the carriage, and then she said with vitality: "No one will publicly admit this kind of thing, but you can still judge the faction they belong to by their words and deeds on weekdays."
"In the King Qi camp, the most important ones should be the Qin family, the Yu family, and the Pei family. The Qin family is my grandfather's family, and my grandfather's sister is the mother of King Qi, who is the uncle of King Qi. They are naturally the Prince of Qi..."
Zuan was full of complaints. For half a day, your grandfather was a firm member of the Qi King Party. Before that, the Chu family was neutral.
"Yu Xuanchong, the head of the Yu family, is Zuo Pushe, the minister of the book. The Yu family has in-laws in all major families. At the same time, they started out as a primeval stone business, which can be called a wealthy country."
Zuan suddenly looked strange: "What does Yu Yanluo have to do with the Yu family?"
He remembered the beautiful young woman who was rescued in the valley just after arriving in this world. She seemed to be engaged in the primeval stone business and was once known as the first beauty in the capital.
But that woman was not kind, she said she would repay her kindness, but she never saw her in Mingyue City, shit!
Pretty women can really deceive people.
"You actually know Yu Yanluo?" Chu Chuyan was a little surprised.
"Isn't she the number one beauty in the capital in the past, she should be famous, I know it's not surprising." Zaan looked as granted.
Chu Chuyan blushed slightly and snorted: "Men are big pig hooves!"
She finally understood why her mother would react like that every time she heard her father talk about Yu Yanluo.
But she still explained: "Yu Yanluo is indeed a member of the Yu family. The people of the Yu family have always been handsome men and beautiful women, and they are the objects of marriage among major families. Yu Yanluo is the most beautiful among them. Outstanding presence..."
Zuan hugged her soft waist and kissed her cold cheek: "I think the Yu family is just like that. The women of the Chu family are better than them."
Chu Chuyan knew that he was complimenting herself, and she couldn't help but feel a hint of sweetness in her heart, but she was embarrassed to admit: "If you have seen Yu Yanluo, I am afraid you will not say this, my father back then After seeing her once, I can't forget it, hum..."
Zuan murmured, "It's not like I haven't seen..."
But thinking of the scene where he saw her at that time, he had to admit that she was a woman of peerless elegance.
Chu Chuyan continued: "There are two main branches of the Pei family. One is the head of the family, Pei Zheng, the Duke of Linhai.
"Man Man's grandfather." Zuan suddenly felt a sense of love for the house and Wu.
Chu Chuyan hesitated: "Their family may not be so harmonious, so don't wish to have a good impression on anyone."
Then she added: "The other one is the Duke of Julu, Pei Ming, whose position is Shang Shuling. He and Pei are cousins. Compared with Pei Zheng's house, he is from the hard-core Qi King's faction. Bian's attitude is somewhat ambiguous, but overall he is more inclined towards King Qi."
"The emperor's camp is dominated by the Yang family, the Meng family and the Liang King. You have already met the Liang King and the Yang family, so you won't talk about them. Meng Jing from the Meng family is one of the eight princes. , when Sikong was in power, he was highly qualified; his son Meng Yi was the supervisor of Zhongshu and was in charge of Zhongshu province..."
"What did you say his son's name was?" Zaun asked in surprise.
"Meng Yi, do you know me?" Chu Chuyan was a little puzzled.
Zuan couldn't help sighing, "Meng Yi, which man doesn't know, what name does this father give to his child?"
Chu Chuyan couldn't understand his point at all, and continued: "By the way, Meng Yi has a daughter who is married to the concubine of the acting king Zhao Ping."
"The king?"
"The king is the younger brother of the prince. The prince has many younger brothers. The king of Wu you met in Jibei County before, and the king of this time are one of them."
"Wu Wang, remember to remember." Zu An looked strange, more than remembering, he couldn't be more familiar, especially with Princess Wu.
"You look so strange, are you thinking of something bad?" Chu Chuyan stared at him, her cheeks flushed.
Zuan's old face became hot, and he was embarrassed to talk about his affair with Princess Wu Yun Yuqing, so he hurriedly changed the subject: "By the way, since the prince has so many younger brothers, and it seems that these younger brothers are smart people, why? Does the emperor have to make a fool as the crown prince?"
From the previous contact with King Wu, apart from some special hobbies, he is much smarter and more capable than ordinary people, and he is definitely more than enough to be the prince. As for the current prince, although everyone said it very vaguely, he was obviously a big fool.
Chu Chuyan replied: "The emperor probably wants a normal son to be the prince, but he can't. You should have heard the story of the emperor and King Qi. It was adopted by their uncle, the late emperor. Because of the chaos in the current situation, King Qi was young, so he let the older emperor inherit the throne, so King Qi is actually qualified to inherit the throne."
"Now the emperor was injured in the early years and the alien war, and the deadline is approaching. King Qi is wise. Many ministers in the court feel that the throne should be returned to the line of King Qi. The emperor wants to pass the throne to his own son, the only one who can The legal principle of being bitten to death is the succession of the eldest son, if the eldest son is skipped and someone else is established, then it belongs to the virtuous and not the long, but in terms of virtuousness, how can those princes be compared to the King of Qi?"
"So the emperor knew that the prince was a little stupid, so he could only bite the bullet and make him the prince."
Zuan was a little puzzled: "How can such a fool hold the throne? The emperor is not afraid that the entire country will be defeated in the future?"
Chu Chuyan explained: "Although the prince is not wise, he is not stupid. If he chooses some close and worthy ministers to help, it is not impossible. Moreover, the prince also has children. Although he is young, his IQ is not bad. It's all normal, and in the future the throne will be passed on to the holy grandson, and the same will be true."
Zuan was taken aback: "I heard that the crown prince got married not long ago, so he has an heir so soon?"
Chu Chuyan blushed slightly and whispered, "It wasn't born by the crown prince. In the early years, the emperor was worried that the crown prince would not be able to understand... He didn't know anything about people, so he gave him a beautiful concubine in the palace to help him... Later this concubine I got pregnant, because I didn’t want to have a conflict with the Crown Princess, so I went back to the palace to live and have a child after I got pregnant.”
Zuan's expression was weird: "Then is this the seed of the stupid prince or the seed of the emperor? He even returned to the palace to live in the palace, the circle is really messed up!"
