Master Shen's Journey Through Time

Chapter 66 The Death of Zhou Sikong

Wherever there are people, there will be constant conflicts. No, Xiao Yunian, the low-key air prince, and the Zhou family are facing each other.

As the second prince of the emperor, Xiao Yunian is already 21 this year. In this era of early marriage and early childbearing, he has never had a concubine.

With the first success of the imperial examination system, the power of the common people began to grow, and Xiao Yunian has always been the leader of their humble family.

Therefore, his own power has grown in recent years, and the Taipu Temple is well-organized under his management. This year, the emperor began to let him take charge of some local affairs. There are more and more voices in the court to support Xiao Yunian.

(It's also because Xiao Yunian is too aggressive.)

So Xiao Yunian is naturally no longer the second prince hiding in a corner and living secretly.

The year before last, Yuqing was named king, which gave him a lot of stimulation.

And with the deepening of our relationship, this Xiao Yunian really began to try to make me a bosom friend, from the beginning of "poems and songs" to talking about life together later.

I kept blowing in his ear.

Yao Guangxiao (monk Daoyan) beside Zhu Di can boast that Zhu Di can dominate the world in one fell swoop. I believe that Xiao Yunian's ambition is no less than Zhu Di's, so naturally I can't help but encourage him.

Although he didn't put me on his side, he would discuss many things with me as appropriate.

And the more he gets in touch with him, the more he will find that he is a person who will retaliate.

Although in order to live, he acts like a gentleman on the surface, but he will take revenge sooner or later if he offends him.

He took me as a close friend when I said the famous saying "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years".

So he always remembered how Concubine Xian despised him and didn't want him as a stepson.

He still remembered that not long after Xiao Chuan proclaimed himself emperor, when he was going to be crowned king and send him somewhere to garrison the frontier, how the Empress Dowager Zhou obstructed it.

(Although Xiao Chuan planned to send him away not because he liked him so much, but because he was out of sight.)

He is very prejudiced against the Zhou family.

This year, someone raised the issue of the second prince's wedding and title, which again drew opposition from the Zhou family.

The main reason is that Zhou Shangshu's favorite concubine became a beautiful daughter, so Zhou Shangshu was very afraid that Xiao Yunian would become his son-in-law.

The Huang family just became in-laws with my Shen family this year, so the probability of having another concubine this year is too low.

There is no such suitable woman in other ministers' families. After all, she is a prince. No matter how poor she is, the status of a prince concubine will not be too low. Xiao Chuan still has to face.

But Xiao Yunian still liked Zhou's daughter very much, because when she entered the palace, Xiao Yunian met me by chance, and it was love at first sight.

And it is a very cool thing for Xiao Yunian to marry Zhou Shangshu's favorite daughter, sleeping with the enemy's daughter.

As for the matter of becoming a king, Honglu Temple has already drawn up a title. Originally, the man was crowned twenty, and he should have been crowned a king last year. However, there was a conflict about King Qin's rebellion, so it was delayed.

Therefore, this matter was probably settled, but Zhou Shangshu asked Li Yanmao to come forward to object.

There is no reason.

Xiao Yu used to dance swords in her palace every day, and several swords were broken by the dance.

He often invites me to drink, and I drink up all the plum blossom wine brewed in winter.

After the death of Concubine Xian, Zhou Sikong pointed the finger at me, and Huang Taifu also pointed the finger at us.

Zhou Sikong felt that Yunyao couldn't escape the death of the concubine Xian, and Yunyao's biggest reliance in the palace was me besides the emperor (he didn't think Shen Lan was a reliance.)

In addition, Mrs. Zhou went to her father Zhou Sikong to speak ill of me when she returned to her natal home.

But Taifu Huang looked further, and he pointed the finger at Yuqing.

This time Yuqing won a big victory, the voices of the people and the court continued to rise. The Huang family has been pressing the treasure on Xiao Yunian, so they don't want Yuqing to really rise.

In this way, none of the three big bosses in the court like me anymore.

Jian Xiang originally brought people to visit me every day, saying that I was seductive and charming.

Huang Taifu also joined Jian Xiang's ranks. The most important thing is that he has Huang Guifei as the main force, who often trips me up in the palace and accidentally falls into their trap.

Zhou Sikong directly collected all kinds of evidence against me, all kinds of saying that I am not three and four, neither master nor minister.

In fact, I have been used to this for a long time, and I never thought about fighting back, but I didn't expect what I could do if Zhou Sikong killed himself.

He actually listed seven deadly sins for me.

The first is to make love with Yuqing, saying that I originally entered the palace to serve the king and should be clean and self-sufficient, but I love vanity and tempt Prince Han to do things that make me live.

The second is to lead Prince Yi to Fireworks Lane and disturb Chao Gang with obscene words and songs.

The third is not being a king or a minister, which lists my countless crimes of disrespect.

The fourth is not being a master or a slave, leading the servants to mess around every day, disrupting the order of the court.

The fifth is unfilial, saying that I am disrespectful to Mrs. Zhou, and Mrs. Zhou can guarantee it.

The sixth is to be disrespectful to the elder brother, who once beat the elder brother (that is when Qing Xing beat Shen Yan.)

The seventh is infidelity, say me and the local vassal.The courtiers have a close relationship (the conscience of heaven and earth, I just have a close relationship with the Xiongzi Tiantuan, am I wrong?)

He produced evidence to prove each of these seven items, and all of them were felonies.

The emperor is also very helpless, Zhou Sikong is extraordinary as the founder of the dynasty, and now he is the only one left in his generation.

Huang Taifu and Jian Xiang are all descendants of his sons.

Moreover, Zhou Sikong has seldom been in charge of affairs for a long time, and now the head of the Zhou family is Zhou Shangshu.

The emperor made a choice in his mind, and naturally I was sacrificed.

I was fined half a year's salary, banned in Liuyun Palace, and made a list of people who were forbidden to visit me, so Yuqing was naturally among them.

So Xiao Yunian came to my place when he had nothing to do, and we scolded Zhou Sikong together.

Half a month has passed, my foot ban has not been terminated, and the ministers have joined me even more vigorously.

The emperor had no choice but to punish me for carrying the pot to pray for the country for an hour every day.

"Carrying the pot" is a special punishment, and those who are punished are usually the relatives of the emperor, such as the imperial concubine, the prince and the like.

There are two pots in total, one for Ankang and one for Fuqiang. Each pot weighs about [-] jin. You need to lift it up with both hands, raise your arms flat, and walk around the main hall of the emperor while shouting some blessings.

A scholar like me who has no strength to restrain a chicken, let me carry the pot, why not just give me a few whips!

Fortunately, Xiao Chuan loved me, and secretly made two special pots for me, and each pot reduced ten catties. Even so, Su Bai had to pinch my arms for a long time every day.

The grounding not only made it impossible for me to meet Yuqing, but also prevented me from going to celebrate Meng Fang's birthday again this year. I was sad that I didn't go because of the war last year. I made an appointment with Huangfeng this year, but I missed the appointment.

I am so tired every day that I decided that I can no longer sit still!

This is very delayed!

So I asked Qing Yuan to prepare a special poison.

Then wait for Xiao Yulai to talk to me.
