From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 375

Due to the technological limitations of the times, the Jin Dynasty has long lagged behind the world in the development of science and technology, at least behind the world's cutting-edge level.

The so-called Portugal, that is, Portugal, Spain and other countries, have been exploring the world for hundreds of years. Maritime trade has promoted the maturity of ship technology. Their iron boats and artillery have been unified and closely coordinated. In addition, everyone has a matchlock gun... If they fight with them, the Jin Dynasty will probably suffer a great loss.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuan looked up and said decisively: "Your Majesty! The battle in the southern Guangdong Sea is really unwise. Our wooden ships in the Jin Dynasty are not conducive to artillery defense, and the driving force and tonnage are also backward. The chances of winning are really not great."

"I ask your majesty to cancel the plan to fight in the south and make another plan another day."

This sudden conclusion made the cabinet ministers and other generals frown.

Xu Shigong was most uncomfortable. Qi Changshi, the governor of Guangdong Sea, was a member of the Chu Party. He had just arrived and needed to make meritorious deeds. Why did Zhou Yuan come out to make trouble?

He has been conferred the third-class marquis. Isn't he satisfied? Do you want to rely on your majesty's favor and fight the Chu party to the death!

"Zhongwu Hou is wrong!"

Xu Shigong said in a deep voice: "My Great Jin Navy has accumulated a hundred years of foundation, with strong ships and powerful guns, and united will. How could it be afraid of those thousands of Portuguese?"

"Does Zhongwu Hou think that no one in the court can fight except you?"

Zhou Yuan said lightly: "I don't mean that, but my views on war are higher than those of Lord Xu."

Empress Zhaojing said: "Okay, the battle of Yuehai is already on the verge of a bowstring. If we give up now, it will hurt the morale of the Yuehai Navy and the national prestige of the Great Jin."

"In recent years, the Portuguese have landed and plundered Xiangzhou many times. It's time to teach them a lesson."

Zhou Yuan couldn't hear the rest of the words, but frowned, thinking about the attitude of the eldest sister on this matter.

The red-haired monster in the south should be fought, but the gap between Jin and the enemy is too big at present. The court, including the eldest sister, should not realize what such a gap means, and still think that they can win by relying on the advantage of numbers.

If they are not allowed to fall this time, they may cause trouble in other places in the future.

In this case, it is better to let them fall now. At least the Portuguese cannot become a big force. Even if they are defeated, they will not threaten the country.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuan did not argue.

After fighting for such a long time, it is time for me to have a good rest. If you want to make trouble, go ahead.

So Zhou Yuan listened to the following content as a crosstalk, and even wanted to laugh at the end.

"Why is the loyal and martial marquis laughing!"

Zeng Cheng saw his playful expression and couldn't help it.

Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment. How should he respond?

I laughed at her, Empress Zhaojing, for her lack of strategy? Laughed at Xu Shigong for his lack of wisdom? This is not allowed!

"I remembered something funny."

Zhou Yuan tilted his head and said, "Master Zeng, do you have to take care of this too? I was made a marquis at a young age, so why don't you let me have some fun?"

Everyone can see that you, Zhou Yuan, are mocking us, okay!

Zeng Cheng's face was dark, and he snorted heavily, and it was not easy to say anything more.

It was not until noon that the morning court finally ended.

Empress Zhao Jing said, "Zhou Yuan, you just came back from the war, so you don't have to run to the Five Army Camps these days. Take a rest first."

"I will report on my duties after the seal of the Jingying Jiedushi comes out."

Zhou Yuan bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

In fact, today's event was quite glorious. The Ministry of Rites sent a large number of people to beat gongs and drums for Zhou Yuan along the way to create momentum.

Zhou Yuan wore a big red flower and rode a maroon horse. In the atmosphere of playing music and singing all the way, he returned to the Zhongwu Earl's Mansion.

Zhao Jianjia and others had known the news long ago, and were waiting at the door with their maids and servants.

The sun was shining brightly, and Zhou Yuan finally saw Zhao Jianjia amid the shouts of countless people in Shenjing.

After four months of separation, the two missed each other to the extreme, but at this moment they could only maintain etiquette, respect each other, and greet each other.

"I respectfully welcome my husband back home."

She bowed deeply, her eyes were red.

Zhou Yuan didn't care about so much, and directly pulled Zhao Jianjia's hand and shouted: "Ziyuan, close the door! No guests today!"

As the heavy door slowly closed, the two finally hugged each other.

Zhao Jianjia's tears flowed, and she trembled and said: "Husband, you are finally back, fortunately you are okay."

Perhaps this is family, not particularly concerned about the so-called title and achievements, but more concerned about the body.

Zhou Yuan whispered, "I miss you so much!"

He picked Zhao Jianjia up and walked into the house.

Zhao Jianjia blushed and looked at him affectionately. She knew her husband was going to do something absurd, but she didn't refuse him this time. She just looked at him infatuatedly.Zhou Yuan couldn't bear it anymore. After months of abstinence, he couldn't bear it anymore after being disciplined by the senior sister.

After more than half an hour, Zhao Jianjia's face was covered with sweat. She supported Zhou Yuan's chest with both hands and said weakly: "No... I really can't bear it..."

Zhou Yuan panted and smiled slowly: "Then let's do it again tonight!"

"No... I... I can't stand it..."

Zhao Jianjia's face turned red, and she shouted shyly: "Qingyuan, come in!"

Zhou Yuan was stunned.

Qingyuan outside the door was also stunned.

She pushed the door open and walked in carefully. When she saw the two naked bodies, she immediately screamed "Ah" and covered her face.

But she opened her fingers again and took a sneak peek, and her pretty face suddenly turned red.

Zhao Jianjia said: "Qingyuan, why are you standing there like an idiot? Why don't you come and serve the master?"

Zhou Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "Jianjia, this is not good. It's my first day back, I should spend more time with you."

Zhao Jianjia said: "I am a maid, and my husband has been reluctant to marry me. Do you dislike Qingyuan?"

"Of course."

Zhou Yuan knew that it was hard to refuse such a kind invitation, so he looked at Qingyuan and shouted with a gloomy face: "Why don't you come here!"

Qingyuan trembled, and hurriedly walked over and knelt beside the bed.

Zhou Yuan said: "Take off your shoes and socks, come to the bed and serve the master!"

"Yes..."

Qingyuan was about to cry.

Zhao Jianjia couldn't help but give Zhou Yuan a small fist and whispered: "Don't be so fierce, Qingyuan is also a virgin."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "Qingyuan likes this tune, just watch."

This farce lasted until nightfall, and Zhou Yuan finally walked out of the room comfortably, feeling refreshed, and the side effects of Chunyang Wuji Gong were completely eliminated.

Qingyuan struggled to get up while crying, whispering: "Miss, I will fetch you water for a bath."

Zhao Jianjia saw the red marks on her body and couldn't help saying: "Goodbye, you should rest well, your body is not yet fully recovered."
