Sign a Lu Fengxian at the beginning

Chapter 165: Duixi, you are really asking for your own death.

Prince Shu's Mansion.

After Zhou Zhi heard Ji Wusheng's plan to check for leaks and fill up the vacancies, his expression was a bit baffling.

Zhou Zhi really didn't expect that even wealthy families would be involved in Ji Wusheng's plan to find out and fill in the gaps.

But Zhou Zhi knew that Ji Wusheng was a disciple of the Yuan family in Runan.

It is inextricably linked to the Yuan family in Runan.

It can be said that Ji Wusheng was a pawn placed by the Yuan family of Runan next to him, the King of Shu.

However, even if the Runan Yuan family placed such a chess piece next to him, in turn, even the Yuan family would be involved in the scheme.

This is something Zhou Zhi found somewhat incredible.

Zhou Zhi looked at Ji Wusheng, pondered for a moment and said, "Ji Wusheng, if I am right, you should be a disciple of the Yuan family in Runan!"

"Aren't you going to inform the Yuan family about this news?"

Zhou Zhi looked at Ji Wusheng and asked.

When he was in Shu, Ji Wusheng secretly went to see Yuan Ziming, the eldest son of the Yuan family, but he did not hide this from Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi also always wears a dress without knowing it.

But now, Zhou Zhi felt that it was necessary to test Ji Wusheng's true thoughts.

Because the situation they are facing now cannot allow them to make any mistakes.

Hearing Zhou Zhi's words, Ji Wusheng didn't show any surprise on his face.

From Ji Wusheng's point of view, Zhou Zhi knew that he was a disciple of the Yuan family, and even knew that it was normal for him to secretly meet Yuan Ziming in Shu.

As the King of Shu, if Zhou Zhi cannot even do this, then Zhou Zhi may have been plotted by other princes countless times before.

Therefore, Ji Wusheng was not surprised at all when Zhou Zhi pointed out his relationship with the Yuan family.

"Your Majesty, I am a disciple of the Yuan family, but I am not a member of the Yuan family."

"From the day I, Ji Wusheng, followed the prince, I, Ji Wusheng, am only loyal to the prince."

Ji Wusheng said calmly.

Ji Wusheng understood and understood what Zhou Zhi meant.

Although Ji Wusheng is not a big figure, he is definitely not a villain who cuts both ways.

From the moment he followed Zhou Zhi, Ji Wusheng was only loyal to Zhou Zhi.

Looking at Ji Wusheng's calm expression and listening to Ji Wusheng's calm tone, Zhou Zhi smiled.

Zhou Zhi didn't know how true Ji Wusheng's words were.

But Zhou Zhi knew that if Ji Wusheng had really done anything to disgrace him, the King of Shu, Ji Wusheng would have gone to the West to see Tathagata Buddha long ago and would not be alive now.

This is also the reason why Zhou Zhi has always relied on Ji Wusheng as his right-hand man.

At this moment, San De walked in in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here." San De said hurriedly after walking in.

"What?"

"The queen is here?"

Zhou Zhi was startled and stood up directly.

At this critical moment, how could the Queen Mother leave the palace and come to his Shu Palace?

Zhou Zhi knew that his queen mother seldom left the palace, and the number of times she came to his Prince Shu's palace was even more limited.

But today, why did his queen mother suddenly leave the palace and suddenly come to his Shu Palace?

"Has the queen entered the house?"

"Hurry up and follow me to welcome your mother."

Zhou Zhi had no time to think about it and hurriedly walked outside to greet the Queen Mother.

No matter why the Queen Mother left the palace and came to his Shu Palace, as a son-in-law, Zhou Zhi had to go out to greet the Queen Mother immediately.

"No."

"The Ai family has arrived."

As soon as Zhou Zhi took a few steps away from the throne, the Queen Mother, surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs, had already entered the meeting hall.

When Zhou Zhi saw that the Queen Mother had walked in, he quickly stepped forward to greet her and said, "My son, I have met my mother."

"Meet the Queen Mother."

Next to them, Ji Wusheng and San De also saluted the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother had a calm face and without saying a word, she walked directly to the main seat in the meeting hall and sat down.

"You all retreat to the Aijia."

After sitting down, the Queen Mother waved her hand directly and said.

Ji Wusheng and San De all bowed and exited the meeting hall.

In the blink of an eye, only the Queen Mother, Zhou Zhi, and the old eunuch Wu Ji who were following the Queen Mother were left in the meeting hall.

Zhou Zhi couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat when he saw that the Queen Mother ignored him and dismissed everyone at once.

Are you wondering what happened to the Queen Mother?

Why are you unhappy?

As soon as the Queen Mother came in, Zhou Zhi already noticed that the Queen Mother's expression was wrong.

"Queen Mother, why did you suddenly leave the palace and come to the Prince of Shu's Mansion?"

"The mother didn't even inform her son in advance, so he could prepare in advance."

After everyone exited the meeting hall, Zhou Zhi asked tentatively.

I wanted to see why the Queen Mother suddenly came out of the palace and came to his Shu Palace with an ugly look on her face.

"Kneel down for the Aijia."

The Queen Mother looked at Zhou Zhi and said gloomily.

Zhou Zhi was shocked and was a little confused when faced with the Queen Mother's sudden thunderous wrath.

I don’t know why the Queen Mother suddenly became so angry at him and even asked him to kneel down.

"Mother, did you do something wrong?"

"How can you make your mother so angry?"

"Please forgive me, Queen Mother."

Zhou Zhi knelt on the ground and said.

"You still have the nerve to ask the Aijia, what did you do wrong?"

"Do you think the Yi family doesn't know what you did?"

"How dare you collude with the Prime Minister and others to plot rebellion and usurp the throne? You were also involved in Zhang De's poisoning of His Majesty."

"Even Wu Shi around the Ai family has become yours. You are really good at it!"

"You are such a good son of the Ai family!"

The Queen Mother looked at Zhou Zhi gloomily, with anger that could not be concealed in her tone.

Wu Shi had followed her for so many years. The Queen Mother never thought that Wu Shi would eventually hide it from her master because of Zhou Zhi, her own son.

What made the Queen Mother most angry was that Zhou Zhi actually used this method of poaching on her, the Queen Mother.

What kind of treasonous things were done behind the back of her mother-in-law?

She really failed to live up to her hard work as a mother.

After hearing these words from the Queen Mother, Zhou Zhi's expression changed immediately.

Zhou Zhi did not expect that the Queen Mother actually knew these things about him.

I also know how to be detailed and specific.

This made Zhou Zhi suddenly confused, not knowing how to face his mother-in-law.

Zhou Zhi glanced at the old eunuch Wu Tongue who was standing next to him.

Needless to say, for the Queen Mother to know such detailed and specific information, she must have no words to explain it.

Zhou Zhi calmed down, raised his head and looked at the Queen Mother on the throne, and said, "Mother, since you know everything, I have nothing to hide."

"That's right, I want to usurp the throne."

"All nine of us princes had a chance to take the throne, but my father chose Zhou Chen."

"We have never considered our other princes. How can we other princes be willing to do this?"

"My son is not willing to give in. He originally thought that Zhou Chen was weak and sick and could let him die quietly."

"In this way, the sons and ministers can succeed their brothers and successfully inherit the throne."

"Unexpectedly, God is not as good as man. Not only did Zhou Chen not die, but he also fully recovered."

"Then my son will have no choice but to risk usurping the throne."

"Everything has been arranged, all I have to do is wait until today is over."

"In Zhou Chen, his illness relapsed, and he died suddenly in the Yangxin Palace. He left a legacy and passed it down to his sons."

"At that time, my son will be able to succeed to the throne legitimately and without any stain on his reputation."

Zhou Zhi said loudly.

Since the Queen Mother already knew, Zhou Zhi had no intention of hiding it.

Zhou Zhi said everything in his heart.

When the Queen Mother heard this, her face could no longer be described as gloomy, and there was also such obvious paleness and weakness.

The Queen Mother had never thought that her son, who had always been respectful and humble in front of her, would have such a deep-minded and ruthless side.

It was simply hard for the Queen Mother to believe.

"you……"

The Queen Mother pointed at Zhou Zhi who was kneeling on the ground, her anger welling up.

He stood up directly and slapped Zhou Zhi.

"Sir, you are really asking for your own death."

"Do you think usurping the throne can succeed? You are looking for death again."

"Now inside and outside Luoyang, Dongchang factory guards are everywhere. As long as you make any changes, do you think you can hide it from Dongchang's eyes and ears?"

"The northern and southern divine guards outside the city can be transferred into the city at any time, and the imperial guards in the palace only obey the emperor's orders. What are you using to usurp the throne?"

"Do you think you can usurp the throne just by relying on your arrangements?"

"Taking a step back, even if you usurp the throne, can you intimidate the court? Can you intimidate aristocratic families?"

"Can you suppress the Marquis of Zhenbei, Marquis of Xiliang, Lu Bu, and Cao Zhengchun?"

"Have you thought about this?"

The Queen Mother angrily scolded Zhou Zhi, with a look of hatred on her face.

If it were so easy to usurp the throne, the throne would have been usurped long ago, and there would be no chance for Zhou Zhi to take his turn.

Let’s not talk about whether Zhou Zhi can succeed in usurping the throne. Even if he succeeds, can Zhou Zhi suppress the family and rule the court?

Needless to say, the Queen Mother also knows this answer.

Zhou Zhi simply couldn't suppress it.

This does not include the few marquis guarding the border, as well as Zhou Chen's direct descendants such as Lu Bu and Cao Zhengchun.

Besides, based on Zhou Zhi's arrangements, the Queen Mother also knew that it was impossible for Zhou Zhi to successfully usurp the throne.

That is seeking death again.

Even with the manpower of three major families, it is impossible to succeed.

Do you really think that since the royal family is lonely, just anyone can influence the succession of the throne?

"If you don't want to die, immediately stop your behavior of seeking death, follow the Ai family into the palace immediately, and plead guilty to His Majesty."

"With the Aijia here, maybe you can avoid death and become an ordinary person."

"Otherwise, even the Ai family won't be able to save you."

The purpose of the Queen Mother coming out of the palace to the Prince of Shu's Mansion was to bring the Prince of Shu into the palace to plead guilty to Zhou Chen.

In the view of the Queen Mother, there is only one way to save Zhou Zhi's life.

With the Queen Mother interceding for mercy, no matter what, the Emperor Zhou Chen would show some mercy.

Leave Zhou Zhi alive.

However, forget about Zhou Zhi's royal title and everything else.

If you are demoted to a commoner, it will be good if you can save one life.

Otherwise, there is no other way to save Zhou Zhi.

After receiving a slap from the Queen Mother, Zhou Zhi no longer panicked and became much calmer.

Zhou Zhi looked at the Queen Mother on the throne and said calmly: "Mother, please forgive me for not obeying my order."

"My son will not go to the palace with his mother to plead guilty."

"My minister's plan has already begun. The arrow has to be fired when it is on the string, and it will not stop."

"If the queen mother insists on bringing her son into the palace to plead guilty, then please give her a glass of poisonous wine right now!"

Zhou Zhi kowtowed with a 'dong' sound and bowed his head to the ground.

It is impossible to go to the palace to plead guilty.

It was even more impossible to stop the opportunity he had been planning for a long time.

The arrow is on the string, how can it not be fired?

Besides, this is what Zhou Zhi has always been looking forward to most, and he will never give up halfway.

Even if you fail in the end and step into the abyss, you won't hesitate.

"The traitor."

"Do you want to make your mother angry to death?"

The Queen Mother did not expect that Zhou Zhi would not listen to her words, but instead threatened her with death, and her face suddenly turned cold.

"If you don't follow your mother to the palace today to plead guilty, it's not up to you."

"My mother must take you to the palace today to plead guilty."

"Mother, I will save you again."

The Queen Mother said and glanced at the old eunuch standing beside her: "Wuyu, take the King of Shu and the Ai family into the palace."

"Anyone who dares to stop him will be killed by the Ai family."

"If the King of Shu dares to resist, his legs will be broken by the Aijia."

The Queen Mother said coldly.

Now, there is only one way to survive.

The Queen Mother must bring King Shu into the palace to plead guilty.

If the King of Shu is unwilling to resist, the Queen Mother will not mind breaking his legs directly and dragging Zhou Zhi into the palace.

Because the Queen Mother knows.

Only in this way can Zhou Zhi have a chance to survive.

Otherwise, Zhou Zhi will definitely die.

Compared with the inevitable death, the Queen Mother knew that a broken leg would be nothing.

As long as you can save one life.

After hearing the Queen Mother's order, the old eunuch hesitated.

Zhou Zhi also raised his head, glanced at the old eunuch and said, "Wuji, we have no way out."

"If you take me into the palace, you yourself will not escape death."

After saying that, Zhou Zhi looked at the Queen Mother on the throne again: "Mother, I will not enter the palace with you to plead guilty."

"Unless you bring the body of your son into the palace."

Zhou Zhi looked at the Queen Mother with a determined look on his face.

Zhou Zhi's words completely angered the Queen Mother; "Okay, since you are stubborn and want to die, then Aijia won't say anything more."

"The Aijia tells you that today, even if they bring your body, the Aijia will bring you into the palace to apologize to His Majesty."

"The entire Ai family does not have a son like you."

At this moment, the Queen Mother showed the majesty and coldness that a Queen Mother should have.

"No tongue, what are you waiting for?"

"Get the King of Shu for the Ai family and enter the palace with the Ai family."

The Queen Mother gave Wu Shi a cold look.

"Your Majesty, forgive me."

Wu Gu also knelt on the ground with a pop and said only four words.

But just these four words made the Queen Mother tremble with anger all over her body.

"Okay, you've all rebelled. You don't even listen to the Aijia."

The Queen Mother did not expect that Wu Shi would not even listen to her words now.

The Queen Mother glanced at Wu Shi who was kneeling on the ground with a cold expression, and shouted outside, "Here comes someone."

The Queen Mother is not only surrounded by a tongueless person, but there are also other available masters.

If you don’t have a tongue and don’t obey orders, others won’t.

The Queen Mother finished speaking.

Several figures immediately walked into the meeting hall.

However, these figures were not the masters around the Queen Mother, but Ji Wusheng and Sande.
