"Whose tomb?"
Zhang Laosan came over, holding a big knife in his hand. The blade was stained with blood, which had not yet dried up.
Seeing Mr. Zhou lying at Wang Cheng's feet like a dead dog, he was shocked and said: "Dead?"
Wang Cheng nodded.
There was a strange feeling on Zhang Laosan's face. Although this result was within his expectation, he had another thought after seeing it with his own eyes.
After all, this was a martial arts master, not a cat or a dog, and he died too quickly.
"By the way! My benefactor, you haven't said yet whose tomb is here." He asked again.
Wang Cheng said: "Zhou Zhaogong."
"It's him!" Zhang Laosan was shocked.
It is estimated that everyone in the entire Zhou Dynasty does not know this name. Maybe many people do not know who the third and fourth kings of Zhou Dynasty are, but they must know Zhou Zhaogong.
He is the youngest son of King Wen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the half-brother of King Cheng, the third King of Zhou Dynasty, and the uncle of King Kang, the fourth King of Zhou Dynasty.
King Cheng has been taught by King Wen step by step how to govern the country since he was a child, and he has high hopes. After he ascended the throne, he indeed lived up to King Wen's high expectations.
He recuperated, paid attention to mulberry farming, governed the country with diligence and thrift, and reduced taxes. Under his governance, the country prospered and continued the governance pioneered by King Wen.
Unfortunately, as time goes by, less than ten years after he took the throne, he suddenly fell ill and passed away.
After King Cheng died, his eldest son, a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, took the throne, who was later named King Kang.
There have been three kings in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but there has never been a young King of Zhou. At first, the ministers were afraid of the authority of the King of Zhou and did not dare to question it. Later, when King Kang issued some ridiculous government decrees, the ministers finally realized that he was actually a child.
So they began to try to challenge the authority of King Zhou and gradually influenced the government, especially the brothers of King Cheng, who were the uncles of King Kang. Many of them held important positions in the court.
They were both the sons of King Wen. When they saw a young man sitting on the throne and messing around, a giant beast slowly grew in their hearts. It was a "power-hungry beast" who was extremely hungry for power.
Gradually, they were no longer satisfied with controlling the court, and they reached out to the supreme throne.
In the third year of King Kang's accession to the throne, which was also the third year of Dekang, King Wen's five most powerful sons launched a coup, and five forces participated in the fight for the throne.
There was a riot in the palace, blood flowed in Kyoto, and an unknown number of people died as a result. It was known as the "Chengkang Rebellion" in history.
As the saying goes: When a country is in chaos, loyal generals will be recognized, and long-term peace will produce treacherous ministers. A poor family produces filial sons, and troubled times produce heroes.
It was Zhou Zhao, the youngest son of King Wen, who stepped forward to hide King Kang in advance when the five sons of King Wen launched a coup, allowing them to escape, and secretly spread rumors that "King Kang was in the hands of so and so".
The five forces were suspicious of each other and fought fiercely. The riots lasted for nearly two years from the autumn of the third year of Dekang to the spring of the fifth year of Dekang.
During this period, the five forces completely controlled the government, and the palace had never had a King of Zhou.
It was also during this time that Zhou Zhao secretly cultivated his own power. The five parties' competition for power has already caused public dissatisfaction and disunity.
As a result, Zhou Zhao's power secretly increased, while the power of the five parties decreased. Finally, in the spring of the fifth year of Dekang, Zhou Zhao led his people to suppress the rebellion.
The five sons of King Wen never expected that their younger brother, whom they usually regarded as completely transparent, would be so courageous and capable. It was not until the moment before their death that they realized that they had been plotted.
A rebellion that lasted for nearly two years was crushed by Zhou Zhao with thunderous force, and his reputation reached its peak. Many ministers advised him to take the throne of Zhou.
However, Zhou Zhao did not do this. He brought King Kang, who had been hiding for nearly two years, to the world.
However, he knew very well that even if he promoted King Kang to the throne again, no one would be convinced, because King Kang was only thirteen or fourteen years old at that time, so he began his ten-year career as an assistant.
In the past ten years, almost all government orders were issued by Zhou Zhao. Under his governance, the Great Zhou Dynasty once again ushered in a state of governance, and it was better than before.
Listening to Wang Cheng's narration of this period of history, Zhang Laosan seemed to be immersed in those years.
He couldn't help but sigh: "Damn it! I've always heard people say how powerful Zhao Gong is, but I didn't expect that he has done so many things and is even more powerful than many Zhou kings."
Suddenly, he asked Wang Cheng: "Why doesn't Duke Zhao sit in that seat?"
Wang Cheng was silent, he was not Zhao Gong, and he didn't know what Zhao Gong was thinking.
These figures are very similar to the famous Duke of Zhou in Chinese history. They both had the ability and strength to take the throne, but they did not do so.
No one can say clearly whether they have thought about that position. To be precise, they have a more rational view of power and position, which few people can do.
"A figure like Duke Zhao is beyond our reach. There has been only one person like him for thousands of years!"
Later, King Kang was grateful for Zhao Gong's outstanding contribution to the Great Zhou Dynasty, made him a Duke, and awarded him the richest five original seals in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Not only that, in terms of food, clothing and other etiquette, King Kang even allowed him to treat him like a king of Zhou as an honor - meeting the king's uncle is like meeting the king.
Since then, Zhou Zhao's reputation has truly reached its peak. Even after a thousand years, his name is still resounding throughout the Zhou Dynasty.
After returning power to Queen Kang, Zhou Zhao took his family and ministers to Wuyuan, which was later called "Zhaoguo". For this reason, Zhou Zhao was habitually respected as "Zhao Gong" by the world. .
Zhang Laosan finally understood and said, "So, the specifications of this mausoleum are the same as those of the Zhou Dynasty's mausoleum?"
Wang Cheng said: "Absolutely!"
Previously, royal objects were found in the outer city, which clearly proves that this mausoleum was built according to the specifications of the King of Zhou.
Zhang Laosan's eyes sparkled, and he said with a smile: "A royal tomb with the same specifications as King Zhou, there must be countless treasures in it."
Wang Cheng just nodded secretly in his heart and learned from Master Zhou's memory that when Duke Zhao was buried, there were countless gold, silver, jade, silk books and ancient paintings.
No one knows the specific number of burial objects, but the word "countless" is enough to explain everything.
Seeing that Zhang Laosan was almost drooling, Wang Cheng scolded: "Don't think about this, hurry up and rescue Sanniang!"
"Sanniang?"
Zhang Laosan was surprised at first, then overjoyed: "My benefactor, does he know where Sanniang is being held?"
Wang Cheng nodded. Ye Sanniang is now imprisoned in the underground royal tomb, but not in the outer city, but in the inner city.
"How do you know?" Zhang Laosan asked subconsciously. He was really curious about Wang Cheng.
At such a young age, his strength is no longer inferior to that of a martial arts master, and he actually seems to know everything.
Who is this person?
Wang Cheng had no intention of explaining this. Mr. Zhou was not the person responsible for this underground royal tomb. He and Mr. Jin belonged to the same organization.
This organization has a long history, and even martial arts masters like Lord Zhou don't know its details very well.
However, with Master Zhou's memory, he finally had a deeper understanding of the layout of Zhou Zhaogong's tomb.
In the outer city of the royal tomb, rare and exotic animals and food officials were buried with them. They were in this area at the moment.
Within the outer city is the inner city, which contains the tombs of concubines, that is, the women of Duke Zhao of Zhou.
According to historical records, Duke Zhao of Zhou lived for a long time, and King Kang died of him before he died. King Mu, the longest-living king in the history of the Zhou Dynasty, almost didn't survive him.
He can live such a long life, firstly, because he returned to Queen Kang, and he has nothing to worry about, and his life is very comfortable; secondly, because he has strong cultivation, among the princes of King Wen, he is the strongest, otherwise It was also impossible to overpower his five brothers and put down the "Chengkang Rebellion".
Because I live a long time and have nothing to worry about all day long, most of my energy is focused on women. There are clear records that there were as many as forty-nine women who could be called.
If there is any stain on Zhou Zhaogong, this is the only one. But more people believe that liking beauty is actually self-destruction of Zhou Zhaogong, because King Kang is worried!
If he had no shortcomings at all, King Kang would not even be able to sleep at night. After that, King Kang would send him several beauties every year, and he was very considerate.
Zhou Zhaogong also accepted all comers, so including the forty-nine women who could be called, nearly a hundred women were buried together in the inner city of the royal tomb.
Almost all royal tombs are the same. Once sealed, all entrances will be blocked.
The entrance and exit to the inner city were originally blocked, but were opened by people from that organization.
According to Master Zhou's memory, there are two entrances to the inner city, one is the main entrance, and the other is the path they are walking on at the moment.
The main entrance is connected to the main road. If you take the main road, you are likely to be intercepted. Taking the small road is relatively safer.
Because the trail is hidden, the only people who know about it are Boss Jin and themselves, and no outsiders have any way of knowing. Therefore, even if they tried their best, they would never imagine that Wang Cheng came from the trail.
This trail was obviously dug later. It was long, rugged, dark and damp.
But just as Wang Cheng thought, they encountered no one to intercept them along the way.
A few minutes later, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of their eyes, and they saw a huge secret room.
There are several figures in the secret room. One of them is short in stature, but he is wearing gold and silver, and he looks like a rich landlord.
"Boss Jin?" Zhang Laosan exclaimed.
Wang Cheng covered his mouth to prevent him from continuing, and then glared at him fiercely.
Seeing the confusion on Zhang Laosan's face, Wang Cheng sent a telepathic message and told him that this was the home of that organization.
This organization is very powerful and is not at all inferior to the top forces outside.
There are at least three people like Mr. Zhou who have just entered the martial arts realm, and the leader of the organization is a person who sees the beginning but never the end. Very few people have seen his true face, because every time he appears, he carries a piece of jade. Mask, no one even knows if He is male or female.
After Zhang Laosan heard this, he immediately became honest.
However, not long after, he suddenly screamed and jumped off the ground like his butt was on fire.
