The male lead is crazy [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 116 Ghost King
The King of Chu was choked for a long time without saying a word. After thinking about the deep meaning of Wu Zhou's words, he lowered his head, his pupils were dark, "Are you sure?"
"Of course." Wu Zhou felt terrified when he saw King Chu's eyes, but he said everything, how could he lose his momentum? "So you are definitely not convinced, my lord, but there is no way. Who makes mental age one thing and physical age another? If you don't admit it, lord, your body is still 19 years old now. And me! Your husband! We were weaker the year before last!"
He doesn't remember how old he was before this, but his predecessor did not run away after twenty, so he must be a few years older than the king of Chu.
Before the ghost marriage, he was still a younger brother, but after that he instantly turned into a younger brother and treated him as a big brother. It's really exciting to think about it.
At the beginning, Wu Zhou just wanted the King of Chu to forget his previous sad emotions, but after he really said it, he was pleasantly surprised to find that this feeling of being a brother to the King of Ghosts...couldn't be better.
The King of Chu squinted his eyes, looking quietly at someone who was rubbing his hands excitedly, and when he was most emotional, he said calmly, "Do you still remember the horoscope of this king's birthday?"
"Huh? I remember, the eighth day of September in Dazhuo's 56th year, what's wrong?" Because the horoscope of the two people's birthdays was required for the ghost marriage, he saw it written by his master, so he naturally remembered it very clearly.
"Then what year is this year?" King Chu was very satisfied with Wu Zhou's memory so clearly, but he didn't show it, and continued to ask calmly.
Wu Zhou narrowed his eyes, thinking what is the prince trying to do?After thinking about it, he still answered honestly: "The fifth day of the seventh month of Dazhuo's 85..." When he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something, Wu Zhou fell silent, and raised his head. It really meant that he met the King of Chu. With deep eyes, he had a bad premonition, and slowly lowered his head, taking advantage of King Chu not paying attention, he was about to slip with oil on his feet.
The king of Chu, who had been paying attention to his movement all the time, took him back and locked him in his arms, "Since it is so clear, let's do the math again, how many years have passed? Huh?"
Wu Zhou felt that there was a hole in his head. Although the body of the king of Chu was indeed nineteen, the date of birth was placed there, and the date of birth written on the royal family tree was placed there. After reliving, no one dares to be born with the horoscope, and it must be counted as 29.
"Why don't you talk?" King Chu continued to ask, as if he didn't see Wu Zhou's careful thoughts.
Wu Zhou glanced at him, and hummed in a low voice: "29..." The voice almost came out of his breath, and it sounded like he was reluctant.Especially after finishing speaking, the man's very brisk laughter came from above his head, making him even more resentful.
He just dug a hole and waited for himself to jump.
Sure enough, the King of Chu continued to speak slowly: "In this way, it has indeed been 29 years since my king's birth date. Although my king's physical age is nineteen, what is his actual age? 29? Hmm?" ? Just now I heard from someone who said that I was weaker the year before last? 22? Ah Zhou, 29 vs. 22, who is bigger? Huh?"
Hearing the other party's last call, Wu Zhou gritted his teeth and refused to admit it.
The King of Chu didn't mind either, and continued: "So, who is the elder brother? Huh?"
Wu Zhou: "..."
In the end, Wu Zhou was forced to change his tricks and yelled countless times before he was finally let go.Because the relationship between the two cannot be revealed for the time being, Wu Zhou is still an apprentice of Daoist Master Yifeng on the surface, and now the situation of Emperor Hong is unknown, and the Queen Mother is in charge, so Wu Zhou lives in the garden next to the main courtyard with Daoist Master Yifeng .
In the early morning of the next day, Wu Zhou entered the palace following the legacy of the wind. The imperial master stabbed him badly. Although Emperor Hong was rescued, he was still unconscious due to excessive blood loss. As for whether he can wake up, it depends on God's will. up.
When the two arrived outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, all the imperial doctors were standing there. They got the news last night that the national teacher was dead, but the former missing real national teacher had returned. They didn't believe it at first, but Looking at the Daoist Relic who was dressed in the national teacher's robe and immortal style bone, holding the flywheel, there was an older one, who stood up straight in awe, and the body had already walked in salute.
Wu Zhou also changed into a Taoist robe, with a cold and indifferent face, and followed closely behind, giving people an unpredictable feeling, which made everyone's hearts turbulent for a while, but they didn't dare to say a word.
Wu Zhou entered the inner hall following the path of legacy wind, and a noble lady got up immediately, but Wu Zhou still clearly saw the flustered and uneasy expression in the eyes of the other party when he saw the path of legacy wind, then he calmed down and walked towards Yi Feng said with a long jaw, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said sadly: "My lord, the Ai family is very relieved to know that you have not had an accident. I believe that the late emperor has a spirit in heaven, so he can be relieved. But the emperor... my lord I must save the emperor's life."
The woman is the biological mother of Emperor Hong, and also the present Empress Dowager.
Wu Zhou looked at the empress dowager's pretending, that Emperor Hong was involved with the national teacher, and he did not believe that the empress dowager would not know about the assassination of Daoist Yifeng back then. I'm afraid it's more difficult than ascending to the sky.
Now that he knew that his apprentice, the national teacher, was dead, he immediately pretended not to know anything, and started begging his master, the national teacher, for help?
Really shameless.
Wu Zhou's expression became more and more haughty, and he said indifferently on behalf of the priest Yifeng: "I'm afraid the empress dowager doesn't know that the old master has consumed too much mana in order to punish the evil disciples who deceived the master and exterminated the ancestors. Praying for blessings, I did not expect to touch the old troubles of more than ten years ago, which caused a serious loss of vitality. I am afraid that I will not be able to use it for ten days and a half months. After all, the master was seriously injured by his apprentice back then and almost passed away. I believe the empress dowager can also understand. Speaking of which, before the national teacher died, he still said that Emperor Hong lied to him? I don't know...what is it?"
After Wu Zhou finished speaking, the Empress Dowager's expression turned ugly.
Wu Zhou’s words can be summed up in one sentence, your son and his disciples were hustling with the master back then, and the master lost his mana in order to come back, so it’s not that the master didn’t save him, it’s your son’s own death, the cause of his own planting, so this evil result He can only eat it himself, no wonder we.
Something happened to Emperor Hong, and several civil and military officials were not far away. They were the ones who went to the imperial mausoleum together earlier. They didn't think about it because they were worried about the emperor's injury. Now think about what the national teacher said before he died. In addition to what the little Taoist said, could it be that... the master's accident back then was not only related to the apprentice, but also possibly...
Their eyes couldn't help falling on the empress dowager and the unconscious emperor, and they quickly lowered their heads.
The Queen Mother naturally heard the sarcasm in Wu Zhou's words, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she touched her tears, "I didn't expect... the national teacher is such a person, my lord is auspicious, and now I still need an adult to be the national teacher. Who is this?" The queen mother knew that the national teacher would not save her prince, but in fact she just lost her footing, thinking about it, she didn't dare to ask the priest Yifeng to do anything, in case the other party harbored evil intentions , her emperor could not wake up completely.
So, directly began to change the subject.
Daoist Yifeng said blankly: "This is the big apprentice I accepted while I was away." Daoist Yifeng directly said that he was the big apprentice, that is to say, he erased the only apprentice who used to be, and when he died, the past grievances and grievances were wiped out .It's just that the master-student friendship is completely gone, so far he doesn't have that apprentice, and only these two only two apprentices.
Everyone was shocked, big apprentice?Isn't this the candidate for the next national teacher's successor?
Civil and military officials looked at Wu Zhou with a little more respect.The previous national teachers were all very high-status existences in the Dazhuo Kingdom, and their spells were extremely high, and they were also trusted by the emperors. If this little Taoist priest is really the next national teacher, as long as the little Taoist priest can get along On this line, the future official career is definitely not just talk.
Everyone was making up their minds in their hearts, but their faces remained calm.Now the emperor is comatose, if the emperor really can't wake up, those princes of the emperor were originally candidates for the throne, but now the king of Chu died and came back to life.
Who is the King of Chu? He was the ninth prince whom the late emperor loved the most before his death. After the death of the king of Chu, the late emperor remembered the nine princes countless times in front of them. His favorite sentence was that if the king of Chu was still alive, The throne must be given to him, but it's a pity... At that time, the king of Chu had already died in battle, and before his death, the first emperor could only pass the throne to the third prince, who is now Emperor Hong.
As a result, King Chu is alive now!
Still living in front of them, it is impossible to say that it is a fake.Now there is such a prince of the right age, and Emperor Hong's princes are still young, so... If something happens to Emperor Hong, the most suitable candidate for the heir apparent will be the King of Chu.
But... can the Queen Mother be willing?
Everyone thought clearly in their hearts, but they didn't dare to step into this muddy water. Even though the queen mother was there, it was absolutely impossible to support the king of Chu; but the king of Chu... has a national teacher.
This situation...
Although the King of Chu said that it was inconvenient to show up at the palace at this time, but Emperor Hong was still seriously injured, the King of Chu changed back into the prince's clothes and entered the palace, but he didn't step into the inner hall, asked about it, and expressed his concern. After seeing the queen mother, no matter how much the queen mother hated her, the two of them were able to get along on the surface. After that, the king of Chu didn't stay any longer, and went out of the palace directly, and returned to the palace of the king of Chu.
Just before leaving, I couldn't help but glance at Wu Zhou who was standing behind Daoist Yi Feng, and my eyes flashed with reluctance, but now that the overall situation is uncertain, rashly letting people know the relationship between the two will only bring trouble to Wu Zhou. culprit.The King of Chu endured his reluctance, and after leaving the palace, he began to follow the secret letters and token tokens that Concubine Liu had hidden in the Prince of Chu's Mansion in advance according to the legacy Taoist priest gave him.
One of the secret letters is a letter from home, one is a suicide note, and the other is a list.
The family letter is very simple. If one day, if he has the opportunity to see this letter, it means that he has been resurrected. There is not much difference between the long said; as for the last list, it is the confidant of King Xun back then.
King Xun is also the biological father of King Chu. When King Xun died in battle, he had a group of loyal confidants. After King Xun died, Concubine Liu thought of asking for their help after being coerced by the first emperor. It's hard to prevent, she was pregnant at the time, and if something happened, the only flesh and blood in her stomach would be impossible to keep.She had no choice but to take the risk and agreed to the first emperor to enter the palace, and those confidantes thought that Princess Xun died in love, and King Xun did not leave any heirs. Over the years, their status in the court was not low, and several of them held military power.
The list written by Concubine Liu was selected after screening. When she knew that she was about to die, she found someone to check and test each of them to confirm that these people were available and still loyal to King Xun.
And that token is the token that the king of Chu can contact.
In the next three months, after the king of Chu came back from his resurrection, he lived in seclusion on the surface, but in fact he secretly contacted those old ministries. Those old ministries had contacted before Concubine Liu died and knew what happened back then. He thought that the king of Chu died. The king is really the last one, but I didn't expect the king of Chu to be able to come back from the dead. Naturally, he is willing to follow the king of Chu.
The King of Chu began to contact these confidants in private, and arranged step by step, but he just went to the palace every few days to see Emperor Hong as a routine.
Emperor Hong couldn't wake up, he didn't know what was done on the rice paper that the national teacher used before his death, the bleeding stopped, but he still couldn't wake up.In the past three months, the queen mother was very worried that the king of Chu would force the palace, but all the time it was peaceful, and the king of Chu did not see any action. She began to listen to the government behind the curtain, temporarily handling the government affairs until the emperor woke up.
In the beginning, civil and military officials were naturally unwilling, and the harem would not interfere in politics, but now that the emperor is still awake, his heirs are young, and the national teacher is even more self-cultivating and hiding in the national teacher's hall, they can't just leave it alone.I could only bite the bullet and agree, the queen mother was very satisfied with this, but unfortunately, she had such a heart, her vision was not good enough, and she frequently made mistakes in the control proposals made by the court. Now, there will be no trouble for the time being.
But in the third month, the queen mother made several mistakes, which almost caused a catastrophe.
Even the face of Chai Xiang, who had been watching all the time, changed. It took a lot of effort to make up for this hole. Once preached.
Thinking of the talent of the King of Chu back then, the courtiers moved their minds, and they were afraid that they would suffer in the long run, not to mention that it was not a long-term solution for the Queen Mother to take power.
In the end, in the fourth month after King Chu came back, Prime Minister Chai directly knelt down at the morning court and begged for orders from King Chu to act as regent temporarily.
As soon as Prime Minister Chai stood in line, almost half of the courtiers stood. For a while, the queen mother was very angry, but it would be okay if she hadn't interfered in the affairs of the court for so long, but she couldn't do it if she interfered. In a mess, I can't even say a rebuttal.If he refuses at this time, he will only lose his heart. The Queen Mother gritted her teeth, not believing that a person who has been dead for ten years and knows nothing about court affairs can really do better than her.
The Empress Dowager issued a decree, and the King of Chu accepted the order in the face of danger. In less than half a month, the affairs in the court were cleared up and handled in an orderly manner, even surpassing that when Emperor Hong was in power. It was too late for the Empress Dowager to regret it.
The empress dowager wanted to kill, but was caught with all the stolen goods. The empress dowager could not deny it and wanted to resist. Only then did she realize that she had been emptied and imprisoned in the palace in just a few months. Because she murdered the prince, she was not allowed to step out again. Palace step.
Another three months later, Emperor Hong passed away in a coma. The ministers headed by Prime Minister Chai implored the King of Chu to ascend the throne.
Under "all kinds of helplessness", the king of Chu had no choice but to accept orders in the face of danger, changed the name of the country to Chu, and held a grand enthronement ceremony three days later to become emperor.
During these three days, the King of Chu moved into the palace, and cleared out the entire palace of Emperor Hong and the Queen Mother as quickly as possible. Everyone was stunned by the speed of his actions, but he had no choice but to bow his head and bow down.
After confirming that there was no danger, King Chu finally sneaked into the side hall of the National Teacher Hall at night on the day before he ascended the throne.
Wu Zhou couldn’t see the King of Chu these few months, and it was not convenient for the King of Chu to enter the palace. He could only learn from Master Yifeng, who wished to put everything into his mind at once. The reason for using it was him The old wound has not healed, and it is no longer possible to practice more advanced techniques.Wu Zhou is different, he has a very high level of comprehension, Master Yi Feng didn't say anything else, he just said that if he doesn't learn well, he won't be able to become a national teacher in the future, so he won't be able to protect the King of Chu... What if he is given by a villain again?
Every time the Taoist Master Yifeng started, Wu Zhou would silently study hard, which made the Taoist Master Yifeng very "moved" that his children can be taught.
Wu Zhou actually knew that the prince had stayed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation the day before yesterday, and he had met with his master a few times, but the palace hadn’t been cleaned up, and the king of Chu had never come to him once, so Wu Zhou, as a minister, naturally couldn’t. Go privately.
Thinking of the enthronement ceremony tomorrow, Wu Zhou was sitting in front of the window lattice, holding a pen and writing runes, but his mind was full of that ghost, so he muttered: "Maybe I'm in a gentle country where I can't think of leaving..."
Just as I finished speaking, I heard a familiar deep voice coming from my ear: "Isn't this the 'Gentle Township' nominated by A Zhou?"
Wu Zhou was taken aback, then turned around suddenly, looked at the person who hadn't been so close for several months, his eyes were shining, but then he thought of something, calmed down, pushed the person away, respectfully raised his hand and saluted: " I have met the emperor, and tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony, so let's congratulate the emperor for fulfilling his wish."
It's just that before he finished speaking, someone held his hand, and Wu Zhou's drooping eyelashes trembled, but he didn't move.
I heard someone above rubbing his hands while talking, and said frivolously, "Really? The enthronement ceremony is true, but it's...you haven't got your wish yet."
"Huh?" Wu Zhou looked up suspiciously, what does this guy mean?Isn't being the emperor what you want?Could it be that he still needs to get a harem beauty for three thousand?Wu Zhou squinted his eyes, and his small eyes were cold. As long as this guy dared to say a word, he would not be able to shake up his husband.
The King of Chu coughed lowly, and immediately leaned close to his ear, regretfully saying: "Could it be that Ah Zhou forgot that we were husband and wife a long time ago, although it was a dark marriage, but this marriage line is real. It's been so long, you and I haven't really had intercourse, this is a real regret. Now that the regret is over, naturally the wish has not been fulfilled."
Wu Zhou was dumbfounded: So... this dead ghost came here at night because he crawled out of bed?
So, before the king of Chu could continue to express his firm belief, he saw his little Taoist priest turn around quickly, pick up a pen and write down a piece of talisman paper, and then pressed his forehead. In an instant, I found that not only could I not move, but I could not even speak.
Wu Zhou threw the Langhao brush away, clapped his hands, and smiled at the King of Chu: "My lord, oh no, I should be called the emperor, do you think I have learned this spell for nothing these few months? Where are you from, my lord?" Let's go back there." After that, Wu Zhou planned to lift him up and send him back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but his idea was good, but his physical strength couldn't keep up.
He couldn't lift it up for a long time, he was so tired that he was out of breath. He hadn't looked at this ghost carefully for a few months, and this guy was not only taller but also stronger, almost exactly the same as a certain ghost in his memory.
And a certain king of Chu, who had been pasted with a talisman by him, just stared at him, listening to Wu Zhou bending over and panting, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and red lips, he couldn't help but look When he moved, his Adam's apple also moved up and down, and his eyes became more unscrupulous, as if staring at a piece of meat.
Wu Zhou was flabbergasted by him, he straightened up, and wanted to wipe off his sweat, when he handed over a white handkerchief in front of him: "Use it."
"Eh? Thanks... um?" Wu Zhou was about to take it, but when he realized something was wrong, he raised his eyes and saw that the talisman paper had been slapped on the other party. The other party was still staring at him, but his arm was raised. , with a handkerchief in his palm, he blinked, "You can move?" How is this possible?
The one who answered him was the king of Chu who patiently wiped off his sweat with his own hands. He felt that the handkerchief was in the way, so he wiped it away with his fingertips, but it was still not enough. It wasn't in vain that I was a ghost in the past ten years, it was... useless to me."
Wu Zhou: "..."
……
Wu Zhou was tossed and suppressed by the king of Chu for a while, but the ghost realized his conscience and stopped tossing.
……
Wu Zhou woke up the next day and knew why the ghost was merciful last night.He looked at the young eunuchs lined up in front of him. On the tray in the head of the eunuch was a brand new set of national teacher robes: "Master Zhou, the former master of the national teacher left a letter to pass on the position of national teacher to you." I already left Beijing last night. Today, my lord will accompany the emperor to hold the enthronement ceremony."
Wu Zhou silently accepted the letter, and after reading it, he felt a headache: Master... unexpectedly left the palace.
As soon as the enthronement ceremony began, Wu Zhou could only change into the national teacher's robe. When he led a group of people out of the national teacher's hall, he saw a group of people waiting outside the hall. Wrapped in a yellow dragon robe, seeing him, with a smile on his face, he walked over, spread his palms, and put them in front of him: "Master, I'm here to pick you up, okay?"
Wu Zhou froze for a moment. He raised his head and looked at the man whose back was facing the sunlight. The gentle smile in his eyes seemed to melt his heart. He raised his hand, and at the same time heard his own voice, firm and firm. And without hesitation: "...Okay."
"Of course." Wu Zhou felt terrified when he saw King Chu's eyes, but he said everything, how could he lose his momentum? "So you are definitely not convinced, my lord, but there is no way. Who makes mental age one thing and physical age another? If you don't admit it, lord, your body is still 19 years old now. And me! Your husband! We were weaker the year before last!"
He doesn't remember how old he was before this, but his predecessor did not run away after twenty, so he must be a few years older than the king of Chu.
Before the ghost marriage, he was still a younger brother, but after that he instantly turned into a younger brother and treated him as a big brother. It's really exciting to think about it.
At the beginning, Wu Zhou just wanted the King of Chu to forget his previous sad emotions, but after he really said it, he was pleasantly surprised to find that this feeling of being a brother to the King of Ghosts...couldn't be better.
The King of Chu squinted his eyes, looking quietly at someone who was rubbing his hands excitedly, and when he was most emotional, he said calmly, "Do you still remember the horoscope of this king's birthday?"
"Huh? I remember, the eighth day of September in Dazhuo's 56th year, what's wrong?" Because the horoscope of the two people's birthdays was required for the ghost marriage, he saw it written by his master, so he naturally remembered it very clearly.
"Then what year is this year?" King Chu was very satisfied with Wu Zhou's memory so clearly, but he didn't show it, and continued to ask calmly.
Wu Zhou narrowed his eyes, thinking what is the prince trying to do?After thinking about it, he still answered honestly: "The fifth day of the seventh month of Dazhuo's 85..." When he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something, Wu Zhou fell silent, and raised his head. It really meant that he met the King of Chu. With deep eyes, he had a bad premonition, and slowly lowered his head, taking advantage of King Chu not paying attention, he was about to slip with oil on his feet.

Wu Zhou felt that there was a hole in his head. Although the body of the king of Chu was indeed nineteen, the date of birth was placed there, and the date of birth written on the royal family tree was placed there. After reliving, no one dares to be born with the horoscope, and it must be counted as 29.
"Why don't you talk?" King Chu continued to ask, as if he didn't see Wu Zhou's careful thoughts.
Wu Zhou glanced at him, and hummed in a low voice: "29..." The voice almost came out of his breath, and it sounded like he was reluctant.Especially after finishing speaking, the man's very brisk laughter came from above his head, making him even more resentful.
He just dug a hole and waited for himself to jump.

Hearing the other party's last call, Wu Zhou gritted his teeth and refused to admit it.
The King of Chu didn't mind either, and continued: "So, who is the elder brother? Huh?"
Wu Zhou: "..."
In the end, Wu Zhou was forced to change his tricks and yelled countless times before he was finally let go.Because the relationship between the two cannot be revealed for the time being, Wu Zhou is still an apprentice of Daoist Master Yifeng on the surface, and now the situation of Emperor Hong is unknown, and the Queen Mother is in charge, so Wu Zhou lives in the garden next to the main courtyard with Daoist Master Yifeng .
In the early morning of the next day, Wu Zhou entered the palace following the legacy of the wind. The imperial master stabbed him badly. Although Emperor Hong was rescued, he was still unconscious due to excessive blood loss. As for whether he can wake up, it depends on God's will. up.
When the two arrived outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, all the imperial doctors were standing there. They got the news last night that the national teacher was dead, but the former missing real national teacher had returned. They didn't believe it at first, but Looking at the Daoist Relic who was dressed in the national teacher's robe and immortal style bone, holding the flywheel, there was an older one, who stood up straight in awe, and the body had already walked in salute.
Wu Zhou also changed into a Taoist robe, with a cold and indifferent face, and followed closely behind, giving people an unpredictable feeling, which made everyone's hearts turbulent for a while, but they didn't dare to say a word.
Wu Zhou entered the inner hall following the path of legacy wind, and a noble lady got up immediately, but Wu Zhou still clearly saw the flustered and uneasy expression in the eyes of the other party when he saw the path of legacy wind, then he calmed down and walked towards Yi Feng said with a long jaw, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said sadly: "My lord, the Ai family is very relieved to know that you have not had an accident. I believe that the late emperor has a spirit in heaven, so he can be relieved. But the emperor... my lord I must save the emperor's life."
The woman is the biological mother of Emperor Hong, and also the present Empress Dowager.
Wu Zhou looked at the empress dowager's pretending, that Emperor Hong was involved with the national teacher, and he did not believe that the empress dowager would not know about the assassination of Daoist Yifeng back then. I'm afraid it's more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Wu Zhou's expression became more and more haughty, and he said indifferently on behalf of the priest Yifeng: "I'm afraid the empress dowager doesn't know that the old master has consumed too much mana in order to punish the evil disciples who deceived the master and exterminated the ancestors.

I am afraid that I will not be able to use it for ten days and a half months. After all, the master was seriously injured by his apprentice back then and almost passed away. I believe the empress dowager can also understand. Speaking of which, before the national teacher died, he still said that Emperor Hong lied to him? I don't know...what is it?"
After Wu Zhou finished speaking, the Empress Dowager's expression turned ugly.

Something happened to Emperor Hong, and several civil and military officials were not far away. They were the ones who went to the imperial mausoleum together earlier.

As a result, King Chu is alive now!
Still living in front of them, it is impossible to say that it is a fake.Now there is such a prince of the right age, and Emperor Hong's princes are still young, so... If something happens to Emperor Hong, the most suitable candidate for the heir apparent will be the King of Chu.
But... can the Queen Mother be willing?
Everyone thought clearly in their hearts, but they didn't dare to step into this muddy water. Even though the queen mother was there, it was absolutely impossible to support the king of Chu; but the king of Chu... has a national teacher.
This situation...
Although the King of Chu said that it was inconvenient to show up at the palace at this time, but Emperor Hong was still seriously injured, the King of Chu changed back into the prince's clothes and entered the palace, but he didn't step into the inner hall, asked about it, and expressed his concern. After seeing the queen mother, no matter how much the queen mother hated her, the two of them were able to get along on the surface. After that, the king of Chu didn't stay any longer, and went out of the palace directly, and returned to the palace of the king of Chu.
Just before leaving, I couldn't help but glance at Wu Zhou who was standing behind Daoist Yi Feng, and my eyes flashed with reluctance, but now that the overall situation is uncertain, rashly letting people know the relationship between the two will only bring trouble to Wu Zhou. culprit.The King of Chu endured his reluctance, and after leaving the palace, he began to follow the secret letters and token tokens that Concubine Liu had hidden in the Prince of Chu's Mansion in advance according to the legacy Taoist priest gave him.
One of the secret letters is a letter from home, one is a suicide note, and the other is a list.
The family letter is very simple. If one day, if he has the opportunity to see this letter, it means that he has been resurrected. There is not much difference between the long said; as for the last list, it is the confidant of King Xun back then.
King Xun is also the biological father of King Chu. When King Xun died in battle, he had a group of loyal confidants. After King Xun died, Concubine Liu thought of asking for their help after being coerced by the first emperor. It's hard to prevent, she was pregnant at the time, and if something happened, the only flesh and blood in her stomach would be impossible to keep.She had no choice but to take the risk and agreed to the first emperor to enter the palace, and those confidantes thought that Princess Xun died in love, and King Xun did not leave any heirs. Over the years, their status in the court was not low, and several of them held military power.
The list written by Concubine Liu was selected after screening. When she knew that she was about to die, she found someone to check and test each of them to confirm that these people were available and still loyal to King Xun.
And that token is the token that the king of Chu can contact.
In the next three months, after the king of Chu came back from his resurrection, he lived in seclusion on the surface, but in fact he secretly contacted those old ministries. Those old ministries had contacted before Concubine Liu died and knew what happened back then. He thought that the king of Chu died. The king is really the last one, but I didn't expect the king of Chu to be able to come back from the dead. Naturally, he is willing to follow the king of Chu.
The King of Chu began to contact these confidants in private, and arranged step by step, but he just went to the palace every few days to see Emperor Hong as a routine.
Emperor Hong couldn't wake up, he didn't know what was done on the rice paper that the national teacher used before his death, the bleeding stopped, but he still couldn't wake up.In the past three months, the queen mother was very worried that the king of Chu would force the palace, but all the time it was peaceful, and the king of Chu did not see any action. She began to listen to the government behind the curtain, temporarily handling the government affairs until the emperor woke up.
In the beginning, civil and military officials were naturally unwilling, and the harem would not interfere in politics, but now that the emperor is still awake, his heirs are young, and the national teacher is even more self-cultivating and hiding in the national teacher's hall, they can't just leave it alone.I could only bite the bullet and agree, the queen mother was very satisfied with this, but unfortunately, she had such a heart, her vision was not good enough, and she frequently made mistakes in the control proposals made by the court. Now, there will be no trouble for the time being.
But in the third month, the queen mother made several mistakes, which almost caused a catastrophe.
Even the face of Chai Xiang, who had been watching all the time, changed. It took a lot of effort to make up for this hole. Once preached.
Thinking of the talent of the King of Chu back then, the courtiers moved their minds, and they were afraid that they would suffer in the long run, not to mention that it was not a long-term solution for the Queen Mother to take power.
In the end, in the fourth month after King Chu came back, Prime Minister Chai directly knelt down at the morning court and begged for orders from King Chu to act as regent temporarily.
As soon as Prime Minister Chai stood in line, almost half of the courtiers stood. For a while, the queen mother was very angry, but it would be okay if she hadn't interfered in the affairs of the court for so long, but she couldn't do it if she interfered. In a mess, I can't even say a rebuttal.If he refuses at this time, he will only lose his heart. The Queen Mother gritted her teeth, not believing that a person who has been dead for ten years and knows nothing about court affairs can really do better than her.
The Empress Dowager issued a decree, and the King of Chu accepted the order in the face of danger. In less than half a month, the affairs in the court were cleared up and handled in an orderly manner, even surpassing that when Emperor Hong was in power. It was too late for the Empress Dowager to regret it.
The empress dowager wanted to kill, but was caught with all the stolen goods. The empress dowager could not deny it and wanted to resist. Only then did she realize that she had been emptied and imprisoned in the palace in just a few months. Because she murdered the prince, she was not allowed to step out again. Palace step.
Another three months later, Emperor Hong passed away in a coma. The ministers headed by Prime Minister Chai implored the King of Chu to ascend the throne.
Under "all kinds of helplessness", the king of Chu had no choice but to accept orders in the face of danger, changed the name of the country to Chu, and held a grand enthronement ceremony three days later to become emperor.
During these three days, the King of Chu moved into the palace, and cleared out the entire palace of Emperor Hong and the Queen Mother as quickly as possible. Everyone was stunned by the speed of his actions, but he had no choice but to bow his head and bow down.
After confirming that there was no danger, King Chu finally sneaked into the side hall of the National Teacher Hall at night on the day before he ascended the throne.
Wu Zhou couldn’t see the King of Chu these few months, and it was not convenient for the King of Chu to enter the palace. He could only learn from Master Yifeng, who wished to put everything into his mind at once. The reason for using it was him The old wound has not healed, and it is no longer possible to practice more advanced techniques.Wu Zhou is different, he has a very high level of comprehension, Master Yi Feng didn't say anything else, he just said that if he doesn't learn well, he won't be able to become a national teacher in the future, so he won't be able to protect the King of Chu... What if he is given by a villain again?
Every time the Taoist Master Yifeng started, Wu Zhou would silently study hard, which made the Taoist Master Yifeng very "moved" that his children can be taught.
Wu Zhou actually knew that the prince had stayed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation the day before yesterday, and he had met with his master a few times, but the palace hadn’t been cleaned up, and the king of Chu had never come to him once, so Wu Zhou, as a minister, naturally couldn’t. Go privately.
Thinking of the enthronement ceremony tomorrow, Wu Zhou was sitting in front of the window lattice, holding a pen and writing runes, but his mind was full of that ghost, so he muttered: "Maybe I'm in a gentle country where I can't think of leaving..."
Just as I finished speaking, I heard a familiar deep voice coming from my ear: "Isn't this the 'Gentle Township' nominated by A Zhou?"
Wu Zhou was taken aback, then turned around suddenly, looked at the person who hadn't been so close for several months, his eyes were shining, but then he thought of something, calmed down, pushed the person away, respectfully raised his hand and saluted: " I have met the emperor, and tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony, so let's congratulate the emperor for fulfilling his wish."
It's just that before he finished speaking, someone held his hand, and Wu Zhou's drooping eyelashes trembled, but he didn't move.
I heard someone above rubbing his hands while talking, and said frivolously, "Really? The enthronement ceremony is true, but it's...you haven't got your wish yet."
"Huh?" Wu Zhou looked up suspiciously, what does this guy mean?Isn't being the emperor what you want?Could it be that he still needs to get a harem beauty for three thousand?Wu Zhou squinted his eyes, and his small eyes were cold. As long as this guy dared to say a word, he would not be able to shake up his husband.
The King of Chu coughed lowly, and immediately leaned close to his ear, regretfully saying: "Could it be that Ah Zhou forgot that we were husband and wife a long time ago, although it was a dark marriage, but this marriage line is real. It's been so long, you and I haven't really had intercourse, this is a real regret. Now that the regret is over, naturally the wish has not been fulfilled."
Wu Zhou was dumbfounded: So... this dead ghost came here at night because he crawled out of bed?
So, before the king of Chu could continue to express his firm belief, he saw his little Taoist priest turn around quickly, pick up a pen and write down a piece of talisman paper, and then pressed his forehead. In an instant, I found that not only could I not move, but I could not even speak.
Wu Zhou threw the Langhao brush away, clapped his hands, and smiled at the King of Chu: "My lord, oh no, I should be called the emperor, do you think I have learned this spell for nothing these few months? Where are you from, my lord?" Let's go back there." After that, Wu Zhou planned to lift him up and send him back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but his idea was good, but his physical strength couldn't keep up.
He couldn't lift it up for a long time, he was so tired that he was out of breath. He hadn't looked at this ghost carefully for a few months, and this guy was not only taller but also stronger, almost exactly the same as a certain ghost in his memory.
And a certain king of Chu, who had been pasted with a talisman by him, just stared at him, listening to Wu Zhou bending over and panting, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and red lips, he couldn't help but look When he moved, his Adam's apple also moved up and down, and his eyes became more unscrupulous, as if staring at a piece of meat.
Wu Zhou was flabbergasted by him, he straightened up, and wanted to wipe off his sweat, when he handed over a white handkerchief in front of him: "Use it."
"Eh? Thanks... um?" Wu Zhou was about to take it, but when he realized something was wrong, he raised his eyes and saw that the talisman paper had been slapped on the other party. The other party was still staring at him, but his arm was raised. , with a handkerchief in his palm, he blinked, "You can move?" How is this possible?
The one who answered him was the king of Chu who patiently wiped off his sweat with his own hands. He felt that the handkerchief was in the way, so he wiped it away with his fingertips, but it was still not enough. It wasn't in vain that I was a ghost in the past ten years, it was... useless to me."
Wu Zhou: "..."
……
Wu Zhou was tossed and suppressed by the king of Chu for a while, but the ghost realized his conscience and stopped tossing.
……
Wu Zhou woke up the next day and knew why the ghost was merciful last night.He looked at the young eunuchs lined up in front of him. On the tray in the head of the eunuch was a brand new set of national teacher robes: "Master Zhou, the former master of the national teacher left a letter to pass on the position of national teacher to you." I already left Beijing last night. Today, my lord will accompany the emperor to hold the enthronement ceremony."
Wu Zhou silently accepted the letter, and after reading it, he felt a headache: Master... unexpectedly left the palace.
As soon as the enthronement ceremony began, Wu Zhou could only change into the national teacher's robe. When he led a group of people out of the national teacher's hall, he saw a group of people waiting outside the hall. Wrapped in a yellow dragon robe, seeing him, with a smile on his face, he walked over, spread his palms, and put them in front of him: "Master, I'm here to pick you up, okay?"
Wu Zhou froze for a moment. He raised his head and looked at the man whose back was facing the sunlight. The gentle smile in his eyes seemed to melt his heart. He raised his hand, and at the same time heard his own voice, firm and firm. And without hesitation: "...Okay."
