"I am deeply saddened by the death of the late king, and I can no longer manage the government. Everything that has become a week, and even the choice of the heir, is left to the uncle to arrange and decide..."

At the north gate of the King City of Zhou, Prince Ren Chao, who had arrived late, bowed his hands to Zhao Wuxi, and after saying these words with a blank face, he did not take the carriage driven by Liu Jun, but brought the old lady Fu and Several personal guards walked slowly towards the palace. He said that he would continue to go back to King Zhou Jing's coffin to guard the ever-bright lantern and show his full filial piety...

As a result, the 30,000 Zhao soldiers in the elite armor had no choice but to open a passage and let the prince go away.

He successfully entered the city without a single soldier, and Zhao Jun immediately took over the defense of the Sixth Division and occupied the Wangcheng on the grounds of "preventing small jumps at night".

The royal city was built in strict accordance with the craftsman's system of running the country, with three gates on each side and twelve gates on each side. Each door is painted three times, and the painting is twenty steps wide. In the middle school, there are nine longitudes and nine latitudes, nine tracks in the warp and seven tracks in the ring, with the palace in the center, the Zuozu and the Right Society, the former dynasty and the latter city.

Immediately, Zhao Wuxi pretended to enter the palace again, and mourned for King Zhou Jing in the Kao Temple where the coffin was parked.

During this period, Prince Ren, who was kneeling in front of him, did not turn his head to look at him. He just stood there as still as a wooden chicken, as if he had no desires, no desires, no resentment or hatred.

Zhao Wuxi's behavior towards this son became more bizarre, but he couldn't think much about it. After he left, Zhao Jia came to report that the Damiao, Zonggong, Kaogong, and Mingtang in the five palaces had been controlled by Zhao Jun, and only The road bed was inhabited by the family of the Zhou princess, and the soldiers did not dare to enter.

"Strict military discipline, those who dare to offend will be killed without mercy!"

After Zhao Wuxi said something, he asked people to invite Liu Gong and Shan Gong Erqing to meet in the left lane of the palace's office to complete the transaction with them.

That's right, Liu and Shan, especially Liu Cheng, who has met with Zhao Hou many times, have long been bought by Zhao Guo.

This is also the strategy of the son who has been running Taoqiu for a long time: "Xia Jia Jialiang, Zhong Jia Jia Si, Shang Jia Jia Guo. If the monarchs and lords do not love property, secretly send envoys to bribe Zhongshan, Zhou, Zheng, Chu, and Wu. , Qin's dignitaries, in order to confuse their plans, but lose 300,000 gold, then the feudal lords can be exhausted..."

As a businessman, Zigong is very aware of how fragile the human heart is to resist temptation. The so-called lords refer to ministers who hold real power or have great influence, such as the six ministers of the Zheng State, the Dukes of the Qin State, and the county magistrates of the Chu State. , Dazai Bo Xi of Wu State, etc., of course, including the second Duke of Zhou Shi Liu Dan.

In the past few years after the annihilation of Qi, although there was no major war on the surface, in fact, within each country, Zhao Wuxi's fifth column began to gain power gradually...

Zhao Wuxi instructed Zigong to find those ministers who wanted to be friendly with Zhao State, mainly by threat of force, luxury goods, money and silk, and feudal lands as a temptation, and let Liu Dan Ergong crowd out his country's hawks and collect intelligence for Zhao State After five or six years, everything that happened in the Zhou family could be seen in Yecheng at a glance. Therefore, the news that King Zhou Jing was seriously ill, Zhao Wuxi could have learned from the Ergong in advance. When he approached the city, the Ergong quickly gave up his resistance and opened the door. welcome.

This coincides with the espionage strategy of the Qin State in history. Day and night defense, and family thieves are difficult to prevent. Strong fortresses are often broken from within. With internal responses, it becomes much easier to break the country.

He voted for peach and reciprocated with Li. Since Liu and Shan Ergong cooperated very well, Zhao Wuxi could not treat them badly.

In a secret hall in the left alley, Liu Dan Ergong has a humble attitude. After being overlooked by Zhao Hou for more than ten years, these great nobles who regard family heritage far more than loyalty to the king and patriotism have long dared not give birth to their enemies. idea.

"map."

With a wave of his hand, the attendant presented the map of Chengzhou Wangji.

Looking around, Luoyang traces the Luobei River, left and right. There are nine blocks in the west, and the east gate is in rotation. Mengjin is behind, Taigu is in front. The Yique block traverses it, and the Luyuan Pass guards the outside.

"It's a beautiful mountain and river." Zhao Wuxi admired Luoyang's terrain very much. No wonder it has become the favorite ancient capital of all dynasties. It's a pity that Zhao's basic foundation is in Hebei and Hanoi, and he has no foundation in Henan. He has no plans to swallow Zhou's house and turn Luoyang into a county. This time he just wants to break the terrain.

"The Zhou General takes Luoshui as the boundary and is divided into east and west. Duke Liu is the ruler of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Duke Shan is the ruler of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the two rulers are still the ministers of the Son of Heaven. However, the previous king has just died. Together with Wangcheng, the state of Zhao is guarding it, and the three places of Mengjin, Yiquesai, and Luyuanguan are also handed over to the Zhao army to be garrisoned, what is the second public opinion?"

This is to forcibly move Zhao's monarchy system to Chengzhou, and at the same time help Liu and Shan to divide up this hundred miles of land. It has completely fallen into the siege of Zhao State...

"Everything is at the command of the uncle!"

Liu Gong and Shan Gong, who expanded their territory and were recognized by their uncle, were naturally overjoyed. As everyone knows, although the Zhou family was weak in the past, the internal order was still unified. With the order of Zhao Wuxi, it was divided into two independent territories, east and west, and the royal city fell into the hands of Zhao. It is undoubtedly worse, after this incident, the status of the world's suzerain will be fundamentally shaken...

Sure enough, as Prince Ren expected, Zhao Wuxi's visit to Luo this time, for Zhou Shi, was comparable to a catastrophe of the disaster of Mount Li...

...

However, even if Prince Ren accepted the reality of the Zhou Dynasty's "stronger things lead to old age" and listened to the old man's suggestion that "the husband does not fight, so there is nothing special", he gave up resistance and resigned himself to fate, but Zhao Wuxi did not intend to let this man who was willing to fight with others be let go. The prince who is his own enemy.

On this day, the prince had just finished the three-day and three-night wake-up call, and when he came out with a shriveled face, he saw Duke Liu and Duke Shan kneeling outside with embarrassed expressions on their faces, but he still nodded, asking the prince to take care of himself, and at the same time put forward a small Require……

"I hope the prince can take the initiative to avoid the position..."

He thought that the usually staunch prince would resist violently and even curse, but he just nodded his head and said, "The boy has no intention of inheriting the throne, only the wish of the king."

After speaking, Prince Ren looked at Zhao Wuxi, who was hidden in the dark, untied his bun, and walked out of the palace with his hair disheveled.

As he walked, he laughed out loud, and a song slowly sounded from the direction he left:

"The house is full of gold and jade, no one can guard it, rich and noble, arrogant, self-defeating, retiring after success, the way of heaven..."

"Good prince."

After a long time, Zhao Wuxi came out, looked at his handsome back and tutted in amazement, turned his head to the servile Duke Liu and Duke Shan and said, "Is this the way the prince has always been?"

Liu Gong Shan Gong was a little embarrassed. In front of Zhao Wuxi, they described Prince Ren as a stubborn young man who "doesn't know the current situation" and "doesn't obey his uncle", and ran to ring the bell to call on the people to rebel against Master Zhao. Now the attitude of the prince has changed by one hundred and eighty degrees, so that they can't figure it out, so they can only say: "The prince of today is indeed a little different from the past..."

"I'm afraid I got the advice of an expert..."

Zhao Wuxi pondered the last short song, pondered for a moment, and asked someone to protect the prince and find out his whereabouts by the way.

That night, Zhao Hou asked Liu and Shan Ergong to forge a suicide note from King Jing of Zhou: "Prince Ren is weak, so he cannot serve the ancestral temple as the ruler of the world. The second son, Min, has a solemn manner and a good reputation, which the world has heard. It is advisable to carry on the great cause, for the succession of all generations..."

Later, Prince Ren also said to himself that because of the death of the previous king, he was too sad, and he was afraid that he would die soon.

Wang Zimin was the youngest son of King Zhou Jing, when he was twelve years old. Although it violated the ancestral etiquette by abolishing the elders and raising the young, Chengzhou was completely controlled by the Zhao State. In addition, Zhou's morality had declined, and the people's hearts had been lost. One or two guys with stiff necks objected to being blasted out of the court on the spot, but no one dared to make a sound of objection. This abolition is imperative.

On January 5th, Zhao Wuxi invited the trembling prince Min Shengdian to meet the ministers in the big temple to formally succeed the throne. At the same time, he also announced that the Zhou family would also implement the monarch system. Liu Gong Shan Gong was the Eastern Zhou Jun and the Western Zhou Jun. rush to the fief to take office.

However, as a result, Cheng Zhou did not have a ruling minister.

"The emperor is young and has no one to help~lightnovelpub.net~ I also ask my uncle to follow the example of Duke Zhou and act as the regent..."

"Please uncle regent!"

After Zhao Wuxi shied away three times, he gladly accepted this position, and gained the power of not being praised, not following the court, and riding his sword to the temple, Wei Fu Mobi.

"The Duke of Zhou vomits and feeds, the world returns to the heart..." Recalling the lofty words of Zhao Hou at the Huangchi meeting, only six short years have passed.

At this point, Zhao Wuxi's arrogance of the regent and the power of relying on the Son of Heaven to command the vassals has been completed.

On January 10th, Zhao Jun had taken over the defenses of the mountains and rivers in Chengzhou. Gonggong Liu happily went to take over the new territory. The king city was shrouded in the shadow of Zhao Jun's iron cavalry, and the new emperor shivered in the palace.

From inside to outside, Cheng Zhou has been completely controlled by Zhao State.

That is, on this day, Zhao Wuxi came to the palace and the temple again and made an even more excessive request.

"I want to watch Zhou Ding..."
