Chapter 136 King Zhou Zhi of Shu

The imperial court issued an order to exterminate the nine clans of the Cui family in Boling.

Once the news spread, it shocked all the wealthy families in the world.

All the wealthy families did not expect that the man in the palace would be so domineering.

With only a trumped-up verification from Dongchang, the man in the palace dared to directly issue an order to kill the nine Boling Cui families without any scruples.

Isn't it possible that the person in the palace is not afraid of causing turmoil in the Zhou Dynasty by doing this?

You know, the Bolingcui family is one of the seven aristocratic families in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Since ancient times, the Boling Cui family has long been deeply rooted in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and their relationships are intertwined.

As long as the Boling Cui family ascends and shouts, the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty can be imagined.

However, before these wealthy families could recover from the shock of the imperial court's decree, they received another piece of news that shocked them beyond words.

That is, the Boling Cui family has been annihilated by Lu Bu, the court's anti-rebellion general, and his Shenwuwei army.

The nine clans of the Cui family in Boling, whether they were direct lineage of the main line or collateral lines, were all executed.

Even the Bolingcui family's connections in the court and local areas were wiped out, and no one was spared.

It can be said that the Bolingcui family was uprooted.

When these wealthy families received this news, they could not be described as shocked, but extremely horrified.

The Bolingcui family is one of the seven aristocratic families in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and has deep roots in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

How could he be killed by the imperial court so easily?

All the wealthy families are cast in an inexplicable shadow.

None of them expected that the imperial court's methods would be so sharp. As soon as the decree was issued, the Boling Cui family had already been wiped out.

Anyone who is not a fool can understand what this means.

If the imperial court suddenly dealt with wealthy families like them in this way, would they be able to escape?

The answer is obvious.

Can't escape.

Under the sudden attack by the imperial army, no one from these wealthy families could remain unharmed.

For a time, an extremely solemn atmosphere surged among the wealthy families in the world.

Most of the aristocratic families were cautiously vigilant.

The man in the palace first cleaned up the wealthy families in the four northern states.

Now they have killed one of the seven great families of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the 'Boling Cui Family'.

They were afraid that wealthy families like them would also become the next targets of the man in the palace.

Therefore, in addition to being cautious and vigilant, most wealthy families are also on guard.

They also restrained people from all families and ethnic groups at the same time, asking them to stay calm during this period to avoid causing serious disasters to the family.

…

At a time when the world's wealthy families were undercurrent because the Boling Cui family was exterminated by the imperial court. There was also a big turmoil in the world of the Great Zhou Dynasty because the martial arts power of the Shen Fist Sect was exterminated by the imperial court.

Divine Fist Gate.

A well-known force in the world.

I dare not say that it is Taishan Beidou, but it is also a first-class force in the world, with a reputation that frightens the entire world.

But such Jianghu forces were actually wiped out by the imperial court.

As soon as the news came out, it was like a bomb exploding the entire world.

No one in Jianghu expected that the imperial court would take action against Jianghu.

Moreover, it is the power of thunder as soon as it is shot.

In one fell swoop, they wiped out the Shen Fist Sect, Fuyun Villa and other powerful forces in the world.

This shocked everyone in the world.

At the same time, people in the world also realized again that the majesty of the imperial court cannot be provoked, and they became fearful of the imperial court.

All of a sudden, many people in the world who were usually unscrupulous became much restrained and no longer behaved as they did before.

Of course, it does not rule out that there are people in the world who do not take the threat of the imperial court to destroy the Shen Fist Sect in their eyes, and still go their own way.

…

Shu land.

Prince Shu's Mansion.

In the meeting hall.

An extraordinary and handsome young man sat in the main seat, reading a piece of news in his hand.

This extraordinary and handsome young master is none other than Zhou Zhi, the ninth brother of Emperor Zhou Chen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the King of Shu.

After Zhou Zhi read the news in his hand, he couldn't help but sigh, "I never expected that the Boling Cui family would be killed by the king's brother."

"This is a bit surprising to me."

"The Bolingcui family is one of the seven great families in the Zhou Dynasty. Don't they have any power to resist?"

With that said, Zhou Zhi handed the message in his hand to a middle-aged scribe below.

"You should also take a look! The Bolingcui family has been uprooted. It is a bit unworthy of its name."

The middle-aged scribe took the news from Zhou Zhi, glanced at it, and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, you can't say that."

"The Bolingcui family is one of the seven aristocratic families in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Their background and strength are naturally worthy of being named one of the seven aristocratic families."

"It's just that Lu Bu is too strong."

"Without Lu Bu, the imperial court would not have been able to put an end to the nine Boling Cui clans, and even the chaos in the four northern states might not have been settled."

The middle-aged scribe said very insightfully.

After Zhou Zhi heard this, he nodded: "Indeed, without Lu Bu, the court may not be able to quell the chaos in the four northern states."

Zhou Zhi agreed very much with the middle-aged scribe's words.

Even though Zhou Zhi was far away in Shu, he still knew the specific situation of the chaos in the four northern states in detail.

Grand Master Wen Zhong died in the battle in the Four Prefectures in the northwest, and all 30,000 elite Shenwu Guards were wiped out.

Wei Wuhou led an army of 100,000 Shenwuwei to suppress the rebellion, but was also defeated miserably at the hands of Huang Tianjiao. They almost collapsed and suffered heavy losses.

If Lu Bu hadn't rescued him in time, Wei Wuhou and the 100,000 counter-rebellion army might have all died at the hands of Huang Tianjiao like Grand Master Wen Zhong.

It can be said that Huang Tianjiao, with its two half-step celestial beings and several great masters, has become so popular that it can challenge the imperial court.

Even if the imperial court dispatched the ancestor, they could not suppress the Huangtian Sect.

Without Lu Bu, there really would be no general in the imperial court who could destroy the Huangtian Sect and put an end to the chaos in the four northern states.

"I don't know where this Lu Bu came from, and he is so strong."

"Suppressing the rebellion in the four northern states, killing two half-step heavenly men of the Huangtian Sect with one halberd, and now leading the army to annihilate the nine clans of the Boling Cui family."

"My royal brother is very lucky. He has such a strong general working for him. No wonder he dares to attack the noble family."

Zhou Zhi said a little sourly.

I feel envious and jealous at the same time.

If such a strong general could be used by him, then he, the King of Shu, would be able to sit back and relax.

After the middle-aged scribe heard Zhou Zhi's words, he said calmly: "Your Majesty, the emperor's fortune is not limited to just one Lu Bu, but also Cao Zhengchun, the governor of the East Factory, who is also a half-step master."

"The Wu family's party and the General's Mansion were all confiscated and exterminated by the governor of Dongchang."

"This Cao Zhengchun also killed the Half-Step Heavenly Man in the General's Mansion. I'm afraid his strength is not inferior to Lu Bu's."

The middle-aged scribe said somewhat speculatively.

After listening to the middle-aged scribe's words, Zhou Zhi nodded and said, "Yes! I have never heard of two half-step celestial beings who can kill strong men of the same level before."

"What surprises me the most is my royal brother."

"I didn't expect that he would take action against the Wu clan and even kill Wu Ying. This was beyond my expectation."

"In my impression, my royal brother does not have such resolute and resolute methods."

"Especially the handling of the four northern states and the affairs of the Bolingcui family are very different from the royal brother I know well."

Zhou Zhi said with a frown.

The key to this is somewhat elusive.

As Zhou Chen's brother, Zhou Zhi knows the character and other things about Zhou Chen, the royal brother, the best.

It can be said that in Zhou Zhi's eyes, his imperial brother Zhou Chen was a mediocre lord.

He has an indecisive personality, and his methods are average, not to mention strategies and other things.

However, in the recent period, from the cleanup of the Wu clan, the capture of Wu Ying and the general Wu Jin, to the suppression of rebellions in the four northern states, the purge of the aristocratic family, and the annihilation of the nine Boling Cui families, this series of events

, are not like Zhou Chen’s past behavior style.

This made Zhou Zhi feel a little puzzled.

At this time, the steward of the palace came in.

"Your Majesty, there is someone outside the palace asking to see you." The steward of the palace came in and bowed to report.

Does anyone want to see you?

Zhou Zhi raised his eyebrows.

"who?"

"Have you reported your home address?"

Zhou Zhi asked.

As the king of Shu, Zhou Zhi is naturally not someone who can be seen by anyone who wants to see him.

If he doesn't have a certain identity and status, Zhou Zhi usually won't see him.

"Going back to your lord, the person asking for an audience claims to be a member of the Yuan family in Runan," the steward said.

A member of the Yuan family in Runan?

When Zhou Zhi heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Why did the people of the Yuan family in Runan come all the way to ask to see him, the King of Shu?

You know, Runan and Shu are thousands of miles apart, not close.

After Zhou Zhi frowned and looked at the middle-aged scribe below, Zhou Zhi said to the housekeeper, "Invite people in!"

No matter why the people of the Yuan family in Runan came all the way to see him, the King of Shu.

Zhou Zhidu must meet him.

Because the Yuan family in Runan is not ordinary, it is the head of the seven great families in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and is much stronger than the Cui family in Boling.

Even Zhou Zhi, the King of Shu, did not dare to ignore it easily.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The butler responded and left.

soon.

The butler left and returned, leading three figures into the meeting hall.

I saw that these three figures were all middle-aged men. They were all dressed in rich brocade clothes and had impressive equipment. At first glance, they all came from extraordinary backgrounds.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Except for one of these three people, who was born in the Yuan family of Runan, the other two were also born in the seven great families.

"I have met the King of Shu in the Yuan family in Runan." After entering the meeting hall, the middle-aged man among the three took the lead and bowed his hands to Zhou Zhi, who was sitting on the main seat.

Yuan Ziming?

The eldest son of the Yuan family?

Hearing Yuan Ziming introduce himself to his family, Zhou Zhi's face was slightly surprised.

Yuan Ziming is the eldest son of the Yuan family, a leader of the younger generation, and has a good reputation.

His status in the Yuan family is very high.

Zhou Zhi did not expect that the person from the Yuan family who asked to see him would actually be the eldest son of the Yuan family.

"Master Yuan, there is no need to be polite."

Zhou Zhi said and looked at the other two people.

In Zhou Zhi's opinion, someone who can enter side by side with the eldest son of the Yuan family, and whose imposing manner and clothing are no less powerful than the eldest son of the Yuan family, must be of extraordinary status.

"My dear Zheng Wangzhi of the Zheng family in Rongyang has met the King of Shu."

"I would like to inform you that Fan Shaohe of the Fan family has met the King of Shu."

Facing Zhou Zhi's probing eyes, the two of them also directly announced their family status and bowed their hands to Zhou Zhi.

"Rongyang Zheng family?"

"Jiexiu Fan family?"

Sure enough, Zhou Zhi's expression changed a bit after hearing these two people announcing themselves.

Zhou Zhi thought that the identities of these two people were unusual, but he did not expect that they were so unusual.

The Zheng family of Rongyang and the Fan family of Jiexiu, like the Yuan family of Runan, were both wealthy families among the seven great aristocratic families of the Zhou Dynasty.

Moreover, Zheng Wangzhi and Fan Shaohe, like Yuan Ziming, have a pivotal position in the Zheng family and the Fan family, and they are both leaders of the younger generation of each family.

Zhou Zhi suddenly became cautious.

If it was just a Yuan family who asked to see him, the King of Shu, Zhou Zhi wouldn't care too much.

But now, three of the seven aristocratic families came together to ask for an audience with him, the King of Shu.

Moreover, the person who came here was also a leader of the young generation from the three major aristocratic families.

This had to be taken seriously by Zhou Zhi.

"Young Master Yuan, Young Master Zheng, and Young Master Fan, these three are distinguished guests! Please take a seat quickly."

"Butler, serve some good tea."

Zhou Zhi guessed in his heart the purpose of the three people coming to see him, the king of Shu, and greeted the three people warmly and ordered the butler to serve tea to them.

"Thank you, King Shu."

Yuan Ziming, Zheng Wangzhi, and Fan Shao sat down together with the three of them.

After the butler served tea, Zhou Zhi looked at Yuan Ziming and the others and asked tentatively, "The three young masters have traveled thousands of miles to come to Shu to see me. Is there something important?"

Yuan Ziming, Zheng Wangzhi, Fan Shao and the other three did not speak immediately when they heard Zhou Zhi's question. Instead, they all slightly glanced at the middle-aged scribe next to Zhou Zhi.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Zhou Zhi saw this and naturally understood what the three people meant and said bluntly, "This is my trusted person. If you have anything to say, you three young masters can just say it without any scruples."

Yuan Ziming, Zheng Wangzhi, and Fan Shaohe looked at each other and disagreed with the presence of Zhou Zhi's close confidant.

Yuan Ziming looked at Zhou Zhi who was sitting on the throne and said, "King Shu, I think it would be better for this gentleman to avoid you."

Hearing Yuan Ziming's words, Zhou Zhi's heart suddenly became solemn.

He had already said that this was a person he trusted, but Yuan Ziming and the others still wanted to avoid the middle-aged scribe.

This is enough to show that Yuan Ziming and others may have an unusual purpose in coming to see him, the King of Shu.

The middle-aged scribe's eyes also flashed with a glint, but he regained his composure in an instant.

Zhou Zhi glanced at the middle-aged scribe, and the middle-aged scribe then exited the meeting hall.

After the middle-aged scribe left, Zhou Zhi looked at Yuan Ziming and the others and said, "Young masters, if you want to see me for anything, you can tell me now."

After Yuan Ziming, Zheng Wangzhi, and Fan Shaohe looked at each other again, Yuan Ziming looked at Zhou Zhi on the throne and said seriously: "King of Shu, we have traveled thousands of miles to see the King of Shu. There is something very important.

The matter needs to be discussed with the King of Shu."

"oh?"

"What's up?"

Zhou Zhi looked at Yuan Ziming, waiting for his next words.

"Ninety-five position."

What?

As soon as Yuan Ziming finished speaking, Zhou Zhi's expression changed. He stood up and stared at Yuan Ziming.

After Yuan Ziming said these four words, he did not continue to speak. Instead, he sat there with an expressionless face, picked up the tea cup and drank the tea.

The atmosphere in the meeting hall became strange at this moment.
