History of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 244 Lin Gua·Everything is me

The warring princes are also a play.

This is a big drama premeditated by the emperor. Everyone knows it, but they can't say it out loud. They can only follow the emperor's drama and play it out.

Among them, everyone knows who will become the one who disrespects Zhou in the eyes of the emperor.

But knowing is one thing, choosing to respect Zhou is another.

In the eyes of some princes, although the emperor is powerful, he cannot be an enemy of the princes in the world and take action openly.

However, no one dares to accept the so-called suggestion of abolishing the direct descendants and respecting the concubines in favor of the virtuous.

…

Xishen Kingdom——

Because the emperor wanted to depose Queen Shen and Yijiu, Shenhou was in a hurry to gather the officials under the curtain to discuss the matter.

"Your Majesty, by doing this, the emperor is putting Shen State in an immoral place. He is using Shen State to warn other countries!"

Shen Hou has a black face, such an obvious thing, but this person is still talking about it.

Now the princes are spreading the news widely to see his joke.

"Shen Hou..." Another doctor said: "The emperor will not be harsh on Shen Guo. Shen Guo has good relations with many countries and has no fault. Even if the emperor forces us to sacrifice to heaven and it is unethical, we can still make up for it and respect God.

, let the emperor have no reason to discuss it anymore."

"I know that." Shen Hou's face was still unhappy.

“But I’ve lost all my face!”

"My son is the queen, and my grandson is the legitimate eldest son, how can I give up!"

Shen Guo wanted to be strong, so he attached great importance to this trip to establish a crown prince. However, the emperor was decisive and bluntly stated that he wanted to abolish the queen, thus refuting the rule of "Zhou Rites" that inheritance is passed down to direct descendants but not to virtuous ones!

"I originally thought that with the "Book of Rites of Zhou" around, the emperor would not be so ridiculous, but I still underestimated this young and energetic emperor!"

Shen Hou slapped the desk angrily.

"Write a letter and ask those guys who received benefits but failed to accomplish anything to come to me!"

"inability……"

The scholar-bureaucrats around were worried, because Shen Hou had a bad temper, and he was so embarrassed this time. If he didn't lower his head and discuss with the princes of some big countries, and jointly remonstrate with the emperor on the grounds that the emperor disrespected his direct elders, I'm afraid there wouldn't be much.

effect.

"Shen Hou, we should..."

Some scholar-officials told this story.

As expected, Shenhou became even more angry.

"That's what you said, there is no better way!"

Be courageous as a person.

"Report..." I heard it at this time and worked carefully to report it.

But it was Queen Shen who sent a secret message.

The Marquis of Shen loved his eldest daughter so much that he got up hurriedly, took the letter and looked at it.

After watching it, I burst into tears.

"My son... you are in the Zhou Palace, it is so painful and heartbreaking, but it is because of your incompetence as a father!"

"Alas!" After reading the letter, Shen Hou seemed to have aged a lot.

"Someone, bring my son back to Shen Kingdom!"

Shen Hou felt sorry for his daughter, but Queen Shen wrote in the letter that the emperor wanted to depose her and Yijiu, but now the fate of "Zhou Li" and Jiuding are competing.

Jiuding recognizes the virtuous.

"The Rites of Zhou" recognizes respect for direct descendants.

The two are in a stalemate, so Queen Shen and Yijiu are both righteous for the time being.

But when Jiuding becomes more powerful with the support of the emperor, then Queen Shen and Yijiu will be like lost dogs, with no respect in the Zhou palace.

In this case, it is better to leave before the emperor is deposed, in order to maintain face, and at the same time express dissatisfaction with the emperor.

"Father, let me see this from my son." It was Shenhou's legitimate son, who was also in the palace at this time.

Hearing that Shen Hou wanted to secretly take back Queen Shen and Yijiu, a look of thought flashed in his eyes.

Shenhou handed over the letter.

After watching, the young master of Shen State whispered: "My father, it will be troublesome to bring my eldest sister and nephew back to Shen, but if my son is willing to go, he will not let the emperor insult my family with the surname Jiang!"

The Jiang family...

Yes, the surname of Shen State is Jiang, after Taigong, and has the same lineage as Qi State, one of the great powers.

In addition, among the various vassals, there are nine other vassal states with the surname Jiang, large and small, all of which have the same origin.

With such a reminder, how could Shenhou not know.

"You are more generous than my father, but how can you ask for help at this time?" Shen Hou patted his legitimate son on the shoulder, pleased, but refused.

"Over the past few hundred years, no matter what the surname Jiang is, it has been clearly divided. You have to rely on yourself. Those in the family may laugh at me, Shen Guo, and it will be more serious."

"Go and bring your eldest sister back. We'll see what the emperor does!"

At this time, Shen Hou was also furious and did not care about the emperor's face.

…

"Did you hear that?"

In the Palace of Classical Books of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Manwa bowed and told Feng Yun what had happened in recent days.

"Queen Shen took Prince Yijiu and fled Fenghao and returned to the Kingdom of Shen."

Manwa said, but Feng Yun wrote about what he encountered and saw after arriving in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and wrote it as "The Great Zhou Dynasty".

After Jingwei, he stayed here and never went out. If it was an ordinary and trivial matter, Manwa would not talk about it, and he would pay little attention to it.

but……

Feng Yun paused slightly as he wrote.

He raised his eyes, a look of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

"Queen Shen is a strong person, and Marquis Shen also loves her children... but she is reckless."

Feng Yun remembered that in history, it was because of this time that the disaster of the Western Zhou Dynasty was caused.

Think for a moment.

Feng Yun said: "Man baby, I went to find Uncle Fu Shizi. I have a piano score and gave it to him."

"No." Manwa was confused and didn't know why Feng Yun would mention Bofu at this time.

Since the Beacon Tower, Bofu has been coming to Fengyun's place every day to learn calligraphy. Only then did Bofu leave...

Not long after, Manwa returned.

But listen.

"Fengzi, Prince Bofu has gone to see the Emperor. The Emperor said that Bofu needs to follow the Emperor these days to prepare for the establishment of the crown prince, so he has no time to come to you."

Feng Yun heard this and nodded.

"That's right, now that Queen Shen has left Fenghao, why can't the emperor establish a prince?"

Looking at the night sky, the stars are dotted and the luck is flowing, showing the meaning of stability and peace.

But beneath this tranquility, there is an undercurrent.

"Sneak into the night with the wind..."

Mysterious magic!

Guan Gua - going down to the upper ground to follow the wind and entering the world with the wind is the art of seeing the world at once for the blessing of spiritual beings!

Lin Gua - the lower pond and the upper ground, moistened into silence, this is to experience the situation personally, everything is my art!

Feng Yun was living in the palace, with profound energy surging around his body.

When Manwa saw him, he consciously guarded him at the door. Not to mention his tall body and seemingly clumsy appearance, in fact, he lived in the mountains and fields, so he was very agile and could accurately predict the disturbances in the outside world.

"Whoosh!" It was just a stone. From a distance, Feng Yun was trying to figure out what details he was doing, but he was hit between the eyebrows and fainted.

Inside the house, the mysterious energy was already filling up, wrapping Feng Yun in it.

As for Feng Yun, his consciousness rose with the wind and dived into the night.

A little spiritual light flickers and is not known to the world, but he can look into Feng Hao and know the things of the world.

Within the Zhou Palace——

Feng Yun's little aura, following the wind, wanted to fall into it.

In the palace, the emperor was standing in front of Bofu, stroking his crown with his hand.

Buzz!

The fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty is ahead, and no matter how close the wind is, you will be warned.

but……

"The Nine Cauldrons are competing with the Zhou Rites. In my eyes, there are loopholes in the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Feng Yun sighed.

The emperor's trip put Da Zhou's fortune at its weakest. He demonstrated his ability to be strong on the outside and weak on the inside. He can be called a gambler.

call…

With a gust of breeze, Feng Yun's aura bypassed the strong Zhou Qi, looked for weak spots, and sneaked into the palace.

Be there for yourself!

Everything in the palace is very real and can be seen by everyone.

And he also descended on a phoenix bird lampstand in the hall, and his spiritual light stared at the emperor and the kneeling uncle in the hall.

By my ears, because all things are my art, I can hear the sounds in the palace...

"Uncle Fu, are you happy with Fengzi?"

The emperor stood behind Bofu, who had just been studying in the examination school. In front of him were some simple literacy objects.

In the middle of the low table is a silk scroll, which is a sacrificial text for worshiping Wentian. Although it is short, it is complex and unfamiliar. It is a must-have for the prince.

"I like it. Bofu likes Fengzi." Bofu couldn't see the emperor's face, and the emperor's face was expressionless.

It seems to be just telling.

"Fengzi is an amazing virtuous man. His words of humanity are admirable and should be passed down to future generations."

"Even though the word of humanity is spread nowadays, there are countless people in the Zhou Kingdom who have their hearts set on Xuanmen."

"You like Fengzi, that's for sure."

Pat Uncle Fu's head.

"At this time, you still don't know the dangers of the world and the embarrassment of being a high-ranking person."

"Although humanity is good, it only benefits the clan and not our monarch."

This was the first time that the emperor directly evaluated Feng Yun, but it was to Bo Fu.

Uncle Fu doesn’t understand.

"Father, you don't like Fengzi?"

The emperor shook his head.

"When you are in this position, if you talk about love, how can you be a monarch? Only whether you are suitable or not can determine the monarch's heart."

"Bofu... I don't understand." Bofu raised his head in confusion and looked at the emperor, but he could only see the emperor's dark eyes that hid countless murderous intentions.

"Ah!" Bofu exclaimed.

But the next moment, the emperor raised his eyes and let the candlelight shine on his face.

Looking at the bright eyes reflecting his own, Bofu's face turned red.

"Father..."

"Haha, you still need to practice. As a prince, you can't be scared just by a look."

Bofu didn't understand the look in the emperor's eyes just now, but he was still frightened, but he also heard the emperor's words, which seemed to be deliberately scaring him.

"Okay, go back and memorize this sacrificial inscription. Tomorrow you will succeed the crown prince. Don't be careless."

"Nuo." Although Bo Fu was young and not old enough, he was smart and obeyed his father's orders at this time.

After Uncle Fu bowed awkwardly and left.

The emperor's face was no longer as friendly as before and he said: "How is the young master and my ministers?"

Young Master Yuchen, the emperor's youngest son, was born not long ago, but everyone seems to have forgotten about this son. After all, the emperor was away and did not talk about this bastard.

In the darkness of the palace, a man appeared. He looked like a knight, but his aura was gloomy and unsmiling.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness Yu Chen has been secretly taken to Lishan Mountain to give birth. He is currently under the care of Dr. Han, the son of Guo Shi's father."

"Father Guo Shi... um, secret message, tell Father Guo Shi to prepare the army!"

"The daughter of Shen Guo absconded with her son. She has ruined the face of our great Zhou Dynasty and ruined our destiny. She is an immoral woman!"

"It is a country with no virtue to apply for asylum!"

"The phoenix bird does not fall in the land of Fenghao, but it is also a country with no virtue. Therefore, the phoenix bird does not fall. This time, the crime of Xishen should be discussed. The land of Xishen should be removed and the people of Xishen should be punished.

All return to Nanshen!"

Xishen and Nanshen are both one country.

Just like the Great Zhou Dynasty, it can be divided into Zong Zhou and Cheng Zhou.

Xishen is the land of ancestral halls, politics, and prosperity, while Nanshen is the land of pioneering.

What the emperor wanted at this time was the wealthy land of Xishen to strengthen the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty and support his grand plans.

The person who gave him the confidence was Mr. Zheng back then.

"The State of Zheng has moved, and it is clear to the world that the new State of Zheng will be established in Yinluo, south of Chengzhou."

"This land asset of the original Zheng Kingdom has been returned to my Zong Zhou, and his son is now also training soldiers and horses to help me achieve my goal!"

These are things that Mr. Zheng did not say when he talked with Feng Yun.

Feng Yun, who was listening with the help of a phoenix lamp, sighed in his heart.

"Zheng Gong cares about the great Zhou Dynasty. He is not weaker than Zhou Gong. He is actually willing to help the emperor with the whole country. No wonder the emperor would confer Zheng Bo as a duke early on."

"Everything lies in the actions after the words are spoken. Don't just listen to one side of the words."

Feng Yun smiled lightly, thought about the old man who had a lot of thoughts, and shook his head helplessly.

When he was on the stone platform, Duke Zheng was mostly testing, but he did not leak anything. Even though he made bold remarks, they were still things that could be said.

Even if the emperor knew it, there would be no mistake, and it would make the emperor feel at ease. This is what he is, a person who pursues humanity.

"The Emperor, the son of Duke Zheng, can you trust me?" The knight lowered his head in the darkness and asked the Emperor.

Feng Yun also paid attention to the comments here. This is the reason why he came here with strange magic this time.

The emperor smiled, but there was no joy in it, it was full of indifference.

"Zheng Gong is by my side, and his wife and children are heading to Xinzheng. They are protected by my armored soldiers. What dares he do?"

"However, you must also send agents to the side. If there is any abnormal movement, kill them and seize the tiger talisman, and join me in besieging Shen Kingdom!"

It was the emperor's decision to besiege Shen State.

His sending troops is not what he shows on the surface.

Intimidation?

To frighten Shenhou and let him release Queen Shen and Yijiu?

Or is it a warning to the princes and other countries to respect Zhou?

No, he wanted to send troops to besiege the Xishen Kingdom, expel the Xishen people, and return to the Xishen land to join the Zhou Dynasty.

Moreover, in Zongzhou's land, in addition to Xishen, some big countries that are not as good as Zheng Gong and moved eastward to make profits will also be cleared by him.

In this land of Zongzhou, no country that threatens the authority of the Emperor can exist!

"After I clean up the land of Zongzhou, I will use Chengzhou as the main point to conquer all the disrespectful countries. Anyone who does not come to see me when the beacon is lit is disrespectful and should be punished!"

“Those who come to worship, even if the country is big, and they pay little tribute, it should be considered disrespectful!”

"The so-called vassal states, everyone above and below should know that the Great Zhou Dynasty was born!"

The power of the emperor burst out at this time, and the candle possessed by Feng Yun dimmed slightly to avoid this wave of air.

"This time, we will definitely succeed and show off the power of the emperor!"

"promise!"

The main hall was silent, with only the Emperor and Feng Yun's spirit left.

"Haha..." Looking at the empty palace with only flickering candlelight, the emperor laughed.

Feng Yun heard about the conspiracy and was about to leave, but heard something.

"boom!"

Behind the palace, as the emperor pressed a mechanism, a stone door appeared.

Inside the stone gate, there is a lot of death energy, which seems to be evil.

Feng Yun recognized that this was so similar to the original aura of King Baiyue, but the difference was slightly related to the "Huangdi Neijing" written by Feng Yun.

Wu Peng is a minister of the Yellow Emperor, and he uses the elixir of immortality!

This Wu Peng inheritance comes from the Emperor's Secret Pavilion. There is actually a backup. In addition to Wu Peng's inheritance, there is also the Yellow Emperor's Sutra?
