Predecessors all over the world

Master Kongyi is the prince who became a monk. Faming studied with him for decades and is also familiar with people in the royal family. Among them is Zhuo Yu, who was still the crown prince at that time and now the emperor.

Today, as usual, he used morning meals with all his disciples after finishing morning class, and then returned to his house to recite scriptures.

As soon as he opened the door, he looked surprised: Where did His Majesty return?

Yesterday, I was assassinated on my way back to Beijing. Zhuo Yu said, “Does the mage know about this?”

Faming recited the Buddha's name: I know, but he looked at Zhuo Yu in confusion, and felt that although there was blood on his body, he did not look like a seriously injured person. His face turned ugly, but yesterday, it was not the prince of Dingguo who happened to pass by.

Have you saved Your Majesty and escorted you back to the palace?

Zhuo Yu's face darkened: No, I was chased to the back mountain, but fortunately I was rescued by a girl. When I wanted to return to the palace this morning, the city gate was blocked and no one could enter.

Kōhai Temple has close contacts with the Tian family. Faming does not lack political acumen. He calmly pointed out: I have seen you after Your Majesty was injured.

Are you saying that Zhuo Yu is on the back and someone pretends to be me?

Faming looked at him scrutinizedly: Isn’t that really not Your Majesty?

Zhuo Yu immediately said: When you first met, you didn’t know my identity and argued with me about Buddhist principles, and in the end I lost.

Yes. Faming twisted the Buddhist beads and thought. Since the person yesterday was not Your Majesty himself, who would it be?

Zhuo Yu thought for a moment, his face turned pale: Queen!

Since I was looking for someone to pretend to him, it would never be the cause of the deposed prince's old subordinates. When he died, the Zhuo family would sit on the throne. So who is most likely to do that? He has two brothers and one is lame.

, destined to be out of the position of great power, a person who is only fifteen years old and has never left the palace to open a mansion. How can he train a dead soldier?

If it weren't for them, then the only one who could benefit the most was his two children. The eldest was eight years old, and he was born in the palace maid like him. The second was six years old, and the legitimate child in the central palace was born.

It goes without saying whose mother tribe is capable of doing this.

In addition, the other party also tried hard to find someone with the same appearance as him to pretend, most of which was to leave an edict before he was dying, so that he could make the second son the crown prince and succeed the throne with justification.

After thinking through the causes and consequences, Zhuo Yu naturally gave up the idea of ​​trying to return to the palace. Since the queen dared to do that, it means that the palace must have been arranged. If he went back, it would be like seeking death.

Zhuo Yu said cautiously: I have to meet Weiyuan Hou.

When the late emperor passed away, he carefully selected several capable ministers of governing the world, including civil officials and military generals. Among them, Weiyuan Hou was a nobleman. As a nobleman, he was tied to him in a boat when he sent his son to the palace to study for him, and there was no change.

The possibility of voting is the most trusted.

Faming also knew this origin well and did not raise any objections: Just so happened that Mrs. Ye had sent someone to light a lamp in the temple, and I asked someone to send a letter.

Zhuo Yu agreed and wrote a secret letter to Faming.

Faming went out and was about to call a disciple to deliver the letter. But as soon as he opened the door, a silver needle shot into his forehead quietly. He paused and then fell to the ground with a bang.

Zhuo Yu was stunned and looked down. He saw that Faming's seven orifices were bleeding and died of poison in an instant.

Just when he was stunned, the second silver needle arrived.

Zhuo Yu completely relied on his instinct to dodge his side, and the silver needle passed through the crack in the door and fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of this gap, he wanted to close the door, but by chance, Faming's body fell at the door, making the door unable to close completely. He had no choice but to break the window and walk.

Behind Faming's house was acre of vegetable field. When he jumped down, he happened to step on a small vegetable with frost. If it weren't for the stable enough drop, he would probably slip.

At the same time, the assassin who sneaked into Faming had already broken into the door. In broad daylight, of course, he would not be stupid enough to be masked in black, but was wearing light armor, looking like a guard of a high-ranking official and noble family.

There are many noble people coming to the Kokai Temple to burn incense, and there are countless guards. If someone appears, it is said that he is pursuing a thief and can win the trust of others. It is the seemingly conspicuous but the most inconspicuous disguise.

Zhuo Yu was also worried that he would put himself in danger once he attracted attention, but with his martial arts, he was no match for the killer, so he had to take the risk of going to a place with a lot of people.

He was lucky. As soon as he ran out of the Yuedong Gate, he ran into Yin Miaomiao who had returned from the west wing.

Yin Miaomiao caught a glimpse of the silver needle that was ejaculated, and without thinking, she threw the snack that had only bite in her hand - she happened to be injected by the silver needle - she pulled Zhuo Yu and ran away: Let's go!

She was thinking about leaving, and before she knew it, some heat came out of her dantian, as warm as if she had been attached to a warm baby. Then, something strange happened. She obviously took only one step, but her body jumped forward for a long time.

distance.

Zhuo Yu was taller than her and longer than her legs, but later he actually asked her to pull him away to barely keep up.

She was very surprised. Could this be the legendary light skills?

After running all the way to the back mountain, Zhuo Yu said unhurriedly: OK.

Yin Miaomiao stopped, her face was not flushed or breathless: What's going on? Can you tell me now?

Zhuo Yu thought of the dead Faming, and his eyes turned dark: When people die, they had been ambushing.

What he should have thought of long ago that if the person who chased him did not report his life, the other party would suspect that he was still alive and would most likely go to Kōkai Temple for help, and of course he would send someone to wait for the rabbit.

He was careless.

Yin Miaomiao had just gone around the female family's yard, went to the kitchen to ask for some snacks, and asked if anyone had been lost, but she didn't think so, but she guessed wrongly.

Since it has nothing to do with Kōkaiji, she doesn't have any regrets and asked: What are you going to do next?

Zhuo Yu looked up at her. He learned how to govern the country, the art of emperors, and the martial arts were mediocre. It was hard to say whether he could save his life in the future, let alone regaining the throne.

Although the person in front of him was a young girl, his unpredictable strength was his only reliance now.

He is a wise man, and he knows what to do.

I lie to the girl. Although it was a helpless act, I would like to forgive me if it was expired. He clasped his fists and bowed deeply to her. I was willing to tell the matter out and ask the girl to help me.

Yin Miaomiao said: Let’s talk about it first.

Zhuo Yu talked about the causes and consequences one by one: Faming was killed, and now Kung Hai Temple cannot go back, so he must think of another method.

Yin Miaomiao asked: I understand, I have two questions to ask you.

Seeing that her expression was normal and she was not in fear and fear, Zhuo Yu felt a little calmer and he couldn't help but add a little bit of confusion: May I ask, girl.

Why did the queen die? Does she want to rule the government behind the curtain?

Zhuo Yu smiled bitterly: It's a long story. Do you know why, as the emperor, appeared alone in the back mountain last night?

Yin Miaomiao guessed: What's the matter in a patrol?

No, I came to burn incense for my biological mother. Zhuo Yu explained his life experience in a few words.

When the late emperor was in power, there was a beloved Concubine Li, who happened to have no son, so he wanted to make Concubine Li's son the crown prince. At that time, Empress Zheng was unwilling to be stepped on by a low-born woman, so she adopted the palace maid.

The fifth prince who came out was Zhuo Yu.

His mother died of childbirth, and he was a little transparent person, and there was no pressure to adopt the empress. With her adopted son, even if she was half a legitimate child, Empress Zheng and Concubine Li started a battle of more than ten years. At the beginning, Li was

The concubine won, and her son was made the crown prince, but not long after, it was reported in the palace that the crown prince used witchcraft to frame the emperor in order to succeed to the throne as soon as possible.

The emperor was shocked and frightened, deposed the crown prince and sentenced his concubines to death. Two years later, Zhuo Yu was appointed as the crown prince and also chose Empress Zheng's niece as the crown prince's concubine for him.

Then, the late emperor passed away and Zhuo Yu ascended the throne at the age of 17. Because of his young age, the Empress Dowager and his capable ministers assisted in the administration, he served as a puppet emperor for seven or eight years.

During this process, he and the former crown princess and the current Empress Xiao Zheng gave birth to the second prince. Originally, the central palace was born and should have been appointed as the crown prince, but the ministers delayed a few of them on the grounds that the second prince was born and weak.

Year.

Two years ago, Empress Dowager Zheng died of illness and Zhuo Yu took charge of the rule.

Speaking of this, Yin Miaomiao fully understood: You don’t want to have a child with the blood of the Zheng family as a sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sac

Yes. Zhuo Yu nodded and said, I was originally planning to gradually weaken the Zheng family's military power, but I didn't expect

The Zheng family produced two queens and was very prominent. The old general Zheng was in charge of 300,000 troops and was famous. His son, the brothers of the current queen, also joined the army early and made many military achievements.

The great achievements shocked the master, and it was the Zheng family. But they were not satisfied. They hoped that there would be an emperor with the blood of the Zheng family.

If Zhuo Yu wants to destroy the bridge across the river, then they will take the initiative first.

Yin Miaomiao sorted out his thoughts and asked: The second question is that the throne is inherited by the father and son. Why do you have to spend a lot of effort to find someone to pretend to be you?

Zhuo Yu was also very puzzled by this, and could only think of two possibilities: one is for the sake of justification, after all, I have never appointed the crown prince. Since ancient times, I have a legitimate son. I have a eldest son. Two, I am worried about relatives before the death of the last emperor.

In chaos, four important officials were left to assist. Even if the child ascended the throne, the Zheng family could not cover up the sky with one hand.

Yin Miaomiao pursed her lips. She thought that the Zheng family's aunts and nephews were very courageous: I don't have a son, right? I will hold one and will still be the queen mother interfere in politics; I will not be willing to establish my son, right? I will make a puppet and still take me.

The son gave him the throne.

So awesome, I might as well usurp the throne.

But she just thought about it. If the Zheng family wanted to use puppets to remove political enemies and make a decent fortune, it would be of no use to the country.

What's more, she wanted to sell Zhuo Yu's favor and ask him to help find his own life experience. If fate asked her to save Zhuo Yu, she could only stand opposite them.

OK, I'll help you. She asked, what are you going to do next?

With the lessons of Faming, Zhuo Yu was much more cautious and thought for a long time before he said: I still have to meet Weiyuan Hou.

The old minister of Zhang Ge, Wang, left by the late emperor, was the Duke of Dingguo Weiyuan, who were both important officials of the country, but the first two were civil officials. Everyone would assist him if the monarch changed. The Duke of Dingguo was a military general and was originally trustworthy, but it was

The Prince of Dingguo rescued the person who pretended to be him, which made him very suspicious.
