Chapter 14668 Banquet (I)

The Zuoqiu family has ruled the Star Empire for nearly ten thousand years, and their family is very prosperous, but the Zuoqiu family has a rule that, except for the direct descendants of the family, other family members cannot be crowned kings or have fiefs. They can be taken care of when doing other things, and they can also be given a sum of money every month to support them, but if they are not capable, they cannot be given too much power. Therefore, in the Star Empire, there are not many people in the Zuoqiu family who hold real power, and it can even be said that there are very few. After all, not all people in the Zuoqiu family are geniuses. If they want to compete with the people of the entire Star Empire, they often cannot compete with each other, but their lives are often not difficult.

In fact, another reason why the Zuoqiu family could not take power was that the ministers were playing tricks. After years of development, the ministers had strong strength, so they began to plot against the Zuoqiu family. Under the same excellent conditions, they would give priority to people with other surnames, and would not use the Zuoqiu family if they could. It was because of this that the Zuoqiu family had fewer and fewer people in power, which was also caused by the ancestral precepts of the Zuoqiu family. Whenever the Zuoqiu family wanted to reuse their family members, the ministers would collectively oppose it, and finally it would be nothing.

In the Zuoqiu family of Zuoqiu Wen's generation, there were not many direct descendants. Zuoqiu Wen had a total of five brothers, which seemed to be a lot, but in fact it was not a lot, because they were royal family members and could marry many wives. In this case, there were still only five brothers, which was really not a lot, and inevitably, after the five brothers grew up, they also began to compete for the throne.

Among the five brothers, Zuoqiu Wen was not very outstanding. He only had one thing, which was kindness. At the same time, he was also very low-key. Therefore, the other brothers did not take Zuoqiu Wen seriously at the beginning. Only one brother was very good to Zuoqiu Wen, that is, Zuoqiu Zhi. Although he was younger than Zuoqiu Wen, he was more outstanding than Zuoqiu Wen at that time. Everyone thought that he was more capable than Zuoqiu Wen, and Zuoqiu Zhi also took good care of Zuoqiu Wen. The relationship between the two brothers was always very good.

But no one expected that in the end, Zuoqiu Wen's father, that is, the emperor of the previous generation, passed the throne to Zuoqiu Wen. At that time, the other brothers expressed dissatisfaction. Only Zuoqiu Zhi supported Zuoqiu Wen and even supported Zuoqiu Wen to purge the other three brothers. The three brothers were killed, and Zuoqiu Wen sat firmly on the throne. Zuoqiu Zhi was the only prince of Zuoqiu Wen's generation. He was named Rui, so he was called Prince Rui. He was not only a prince, but also the commander-in-chief of the capital garrison.

Zuoqiu Wen trusted Zuoqiu Zhi very much, so he gave all the troops of the capital planet to Zuoqiu Zhi for command. Zuoqiu Zhi became the commander-in-chief of the capital garrison. It can be said that Zuoqiu Wen gave all the security of the capital planet to Zuoqiu Zhi, which shows how high Zuoqiu Zhi's status is and how much Zuoqiu Wen trusts him. It is precisely because of this that when Zuoqiu Wen saw the document Wei Xianchen gave him that there was a family living near the teahouse, and a child in their family worked in the Prince Rui's mansion, and a magic array was found in that person's home. After testing, the magic array was found to be a detection magic array, and its main function was to detect whether a person had any restrictions, which made Zuoqiu Wen's heart sink.

There is a restriction on Ma Luo's body, which is the Soul Explosion Seal. The reason why Ma Luo goes to the teahouse every once in a while is not because there is something wrong with the teahouse, nor because someone is sent to monitor Ma Luo in the teahouse, nor because someone wants to meet with Ma Luo in the teahouse. Instead, whenever Ma Luo wants to go to the teahouse, he must pass by the outside of that person's house. As long as Ma Luo arrives at the teahouse, their family's magic array can monitor whether the Soul Explosion Seal on Ma Luo is still there. If the Soul Explosion Seal on Ma Luo is still there, it proves that Ma Luo is still under their control. If the Soul Explosion Seal on Ma Luo is no longer there, it means that Ma Luo may no longer be under their control. Therefore, when Zuo Qiuwen saw the report, his face was so ugly.

You have to know that the army here in the capital star is all under the control of Zuoqiu Zhi. If Zuoqiu Zhi really has second thoughts about him, it would be too scary. If Zuoqiu Zhi really attacks him, even if he can escape, it will probably cause unrest in the empire. After all, the entire army of the capital star is under the control of Zuoqiu Zhi. In this case, if Zuoqiu Zhi really rebels, it will cause too much noise. When Zuoqiu Wen saw the report, his heart sank halfway. It was too scary.

And because of this discovery, Zuo Qiuwen suddenly understood why someone like Ma Luo would betray him. You must know that Ma Luo is the deputy commander of the secret guards, and his status is already very high. Such people generally will not betray, because even if they betray, the new master will not give them a higher status than now. But if the new master is a big shot himself and gives him some greater benefits, then he may be betrayed. You must know that in the Star Empire, the status of merchants is not high, and the status of officials is the highest. Marlo could not betray Zuo Qiuwen for money, it can only be because of status.

For ordinary people, even if they want to betray Marlowe, it is absolutely impossible. Marlowe cannot believe what a person with a lower status than him says, but if a person with a higher status than him says something, then he will I believe it, and Zuo Qiuzhi is a person with a higher status than him. The most important thing is that Zuo Qiuzhi's voice for becoming emperor was higher than Zuo Qiuwen's, so it is not surprising that Maruo betrayed him. Zuo Qiuwen did not expect that Zuo Qiuzhi would be betrayed at first. Even now, although he has doubts, he will not deal with Zuo Qiuzhi before there is solid evidence, because the relationship between the two is really good. Sorry, Zuo Qiuwen really couldn't bear to do it.

This is also the reason why Wei Xianchen and the others were so careful after they found out Zuo Qiuzhi. The person who first found out about this matter was sent directly to Zhao Hai. It would be very difficult for him to see the light of day, and Wei Xianchen sent The people who went to monitor Zuo Qiuzhi were also the most elite people, and the reason why he sent people to monitor Wang En was also to ensure that people like Marlow could betray, let alone other people. If Wang En and the others couldn't think about it for a while, then he would be the real king, so he had to be on the safe side.

At the same time, he also wanted Gao Qi to not dare to betray them, because after Gao Qi found out that he was spying on Wang En, he would wonder if someone was spying on him, so that he would not dare to betray them. Wei Xianchen had been doing this all his life. Of course we have to be more careful about things like this now.

After Zuo Qiuwen finished his work for the day, he directly sent an order to invite Zuo Qiuzhi to enter the palace. In the past, he often invited Zuo Qiuzhi to enter the palace. During this period, a lot of things happened, so he did not come for a while. After meeting Zuo Qiuzhi, Zuo Qiuwen decided to invite Zuo Qiuzhi to the palace. He still wanted to see Zuo Qiuzhi with his own eyes.

Soon Zuo Qiuzhi came to the palace. He looked very similar to Zuo Qiuwen, but he was stronger than Zuo Qiuwen. He was still very capable in the military. It was precisely because of this that Zuo Qiuwen Qiu Wen then handed over the defense of the capital star to him.

Zuo Qiuwen and Zuo Qiuzhi did not meet in Zuo Qiuwen's study, but in a small side hall, where there was a table with some food and some wine prepared. This was normal in the past.

Zuo Qiuzhi came to the door, without knocking, just opened the door and walked in. Zuo Qiuwen was reading inside. As soon as he saw him coming in, Zuo Qiuzhi smiled and said: "Here you go, sit down quickly." , I have been waiting for you for a while."

Zuo Qiuzhi said with a smile: "Brother, do you want to drink again?" He was not polite, and did not even salute Zuo Qiuwen. He sat directly opposite Zuo Qiuzhi. The table was not very big, and the dishes prepared were not very big. There weren't many, they were all Zuo Qiuzhi's favorite dishes.

Zuo Qiuwen put down the book and smiled at Zuo Qiuzhi and said: "Yes, I want to drink again. There have been a lot of things happened recently. I finally finished them and I feel a little annoyed. So I asked you to come over and have a drink with me. ." After that, he poured himself a glass of wine.

Zuo Qiuzhi also poured himself a glass of wine. The two clinked the glasses, then drank the wine in the glasses. After putting down the glasses, the two of them took two bites of the food. Zuo Qiuwen said to Zuo Qiuzhi: "Recently Have you heard about it?"

Zuo Qiuzhi nodded and said: "I heard that something happened to the secret guards? But I don't know why. I just didn't expect that something would happen to the secret guards. Aren't they the most loyal? How could they? Will something happen again?" Zuo Qiuzhi looked at Zuo Qiuwen curiously, as if he really only knew so much. Zuo Qiuwen did not stare at Zuo Qiuzhi all the time, and his behavior was no different. If an emperor doesn't have any acting skills, then he has really been an emperor for so long in vain.

Zuo Qiuwen sighed and said: "Forget it, I don't know what happened to that Maruo. He would betray me. Do you know what they are going to do? They actually want to go to the Beast Control Garden to kill people. This is almost the same as Yu committed suicide. Even if they killed someone, they would not be able to leave the Royal Beast Garden alive. It was the royal inner garden. Although Marlowe was not personally involved in it, the order was given by Marlowe. You know Who are they going to kill? It's Zhao Hai. They're going to the Royal Beast Garden to kill Zhao Hai. It's really crazy." When Zuo Qiuwen said this, his face turned green with anger. He was usually expressionless. Yes, he would behave like this only in front of Zuo Qiuzhi, because he had absolute trust in Zuo Qiuzhi.

Zuo Qiu Zhi was a little surprised when he saw Zuo Qiu Wen's appearance. Then he looked at Zuo Qiu Wen with some confusion and said, "Brother, why did they kill Zhao Hai? Didn't Zhao Hai just set up a magic circle in the Beast Control Garden? Is it worth it? Are they crazy for taking such a big risk to kill Zhao Hai?"

When Zuo Qiuwen heard what Zuo Qiuzhi said, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then said: "Letting Zhao Hai go to the Beast Control Garden to set up the magic circle is just a pretense. The real purpose is actually to let Zhao Hai study there. Linggen, I think they must have gotten the news, so they sent people to kill Zhao Hai."
