When Zhou Tianfu's heart was agitated.
Suddenly there were footsteps at the door.
He looked up and saw his son Zhou Ji walking over.
Zhou Tianfu narrowed his eyes and said, "Ji'er, why are you here?"
Zhou Tianfu didn't think that this matter should be kept secret from Zhou Ji.
He just knew that his son, who was ambitious but not very talented, was not suitable to get involved.
"Father."
Zhou Ji bowed and said, "I asked Uncle Qian what happened just now, but he refused to tell me. I was curious, so I came to ask!"
Zhou Tianfu's eyes flickered: "Actually, you don't need to know."
Zhou Ji did seem a little stubborn: "Father, I also know your plan! I also know that Xiao Chen burned down the prison and kidnapped Xigua's wife and children!"
"I just want to ask, does father want to take action in advance?"
Zhou Tianfu chuckled: "There is no need to do it in advance. You can realize this today, and I am very happy to be a father! But you don't need to take care of it, let alone interfere!"
Zhou Ji was silent for a moment: "But father, if we don't resist now, there will definitely be a crisis!"
"Maybe it will be a disaster that kills the whole family!"
Zhou Ji thought that when his father said there was no need to take action, he meant to continue to maintain a lurking posture.
But in fact, Zhou Tianfu planned to use the emperor to command the princes and secretly control Chu.
When Zhou Tianfu heard this, he also knew that Zhou Jihui was wrong. He sneered and said, "You said you want to rebel? Then I ask my father, how do you want to rebel?"
"Now, although the court is controlled by my Zhou family, the emperor still upholds justice. If I rebel, it will be unfair and unfair!"
Zhou Ji was still a little confused: "But father..."
"But what but!"
Zhou Tianfu felt that his son was really a jerk: "Believe it or not, if we raise the flag of rebellion today, tomorrow thirty-six princes will come to Qinwang!"
These four words "incorrect position" are fatal to those in power.
No matter who rebels, they must adhere to the principle of "according to the will of heaven and the will of the people."
Although this Chu Yanwu could not be called a wise emperor or holy master, he was at least a serious emperor and a descendant of the founder of Chu.
He didn't make any big mistakes, and he will probably get a moderate evaluation in the history books of later generations.
If he rashly rebels at this time, it will be no different than seeking death.
Even if Xiao Chen is forcing him from behind, the most important thing he should do is to get rid of Xiao Chen and Dongchang, use the emperor to command the princes, gradually erode the imperial power, and rise up again when the people's resentment boils.
In this way, his accession to the throne will be justified.
After Zhou Ji heard this, he also understood.
Although he participated in part of Zhou Tianfu's plan, he did not have a complete understanding of the power Zhou Tianfu controlled.
But no matter what, Zhou Ji knew that his father Zhou Tianfu could not die rashly, and he was definitely not a timid person.
Perhaps, there is a reason for doing this!
He could only sigh: "Father, I'm sorry, I didn't think carefully just now!"
Zhou Tianfu's eyes softened slightly, he snorted coldly and said, "It's good that you know!"
"If you still don't understand, then it will be a shame for you as a father!"
Zhou Ji was silent for a moment and asked: "But father, how can Xiao Chen be so virtuous that he deserves such a big fight?"
Zhou Tianfu shook his head: "Xiao Chen is now the sword in Chu Yanwu's hand, and Dongchang has always been the supervisory official, carrying out the holy will!"
"If we remove Dongchang and Xiao Chen, Chu Yanwu will be like a tiger without teeth!"
"And the only ones left in the court are those scornful Confucians, Master Cen, so what's there to be afraid of?"
Zhou Ji thought about it and felt that what his father said did make sense.
Zhou Tianfu saw that there was still hesitation in Zhou Ji's eyes, and continued to explain: "As for whether to rebel or not, I have made it clear in a big way, but in a small way...it is really not worthwhile to do this for Xiao Chen, a castrated dog."
"You don't have any grudges anyway! Everything I did for my father was for the Zhou family, and it can also be said that it was for you."
Zhou Ji felt calm, nodded, and left quickly.
Watching his son's figure go away, Zhou Tianfu sighed with emotion.
My son is smart, but he is still not sophisticated enough and needs more training.
When Zhou Ji left, a man in black clothes and an iron mask came to the back.
Zhou Tianfu looked interested and asked in a cold voice: "How is Jiang Rongfeng doing?"
The iron-masked man in black said quickly: "Reporting to the Prime Minister has been completed!"
The corners of Zhou Tianfu's mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes were full of pride: "You can retreat now!"
He raised his eyes and looked at the white fish belly on the horizon. Soon, the light would shine brightly.
His mood seemed to lighten up as he murmured to himself:
"Xiao Chen! Fighting with me is asking for death!"
It's night, in the palace.
Today, Chu Yanwu turned over the cards and turned over Concubine Rong.
Concubine Rong was extremely beautiful and charming, and Chu Yanwu loved Concubine Rong very much.
So I didn't hesitate and planned to stay in Concubine Rong's palace tonight.
In Concubine Rong's palace, a thin layer of milky white smoke can be vaguely seen in the air. This is actually the smoke emitted by incense, which is not uncommon in the royal family.
The tip of Chu Yanwu's nose trembled, and his heart moved slightly.
In fact, Chu Yanwu was very sensitive to incense, and even the queen didn't know much about it.
After all, it's because he has a deep mind.
Chu Yanwu discovered that "Albizia Julibrissin" was added to the incense.
This is an ointment leached from the husks of tree fruits. It is snow-white in color and has a wonderful aphrodisiac effect, so it is called Albizia Sinensis.
And this Acacia Snow can be said to be worth a thousand pieces of gold, and even the imperial palace has very little stock of it.
How could Concubine Rong be willing to use this today?
Chu Yanwu's appearance was as calm as before, and he secretly rubbed his nose with his hand.
He vaguely opened the mechanism on the ring and sniffed the white powder exposed inside.
When she walked to the inner hall, Concubine Rong had been waiting for a long time.
She is now wearing a pink gauze dress embroidered with gold, and you can vaguely see her exquisite figure underneath, and her delicate and beautiful face is full of love.
Chu Yanwu deliberately adjusted his breathing to make himself appear distracted.
Concubine Rong also stood up quietly, moved her lotus steps lightly, and threw herself into his arms like a baby swallow.
"My beloved concubine."
Chu Yanwu smiled slightly and hugged Concubine Rong's slender waist.
It was as smooth as jade, but Chu Yanwu felt a cold feeling in his heart.
What Xiao Chen said was indeed correct.
Once Jiang Rongfeng's case is solved, Zhou Tianfu will jump over the wall in a hurry!
But Concubine Rong had already kissed his chest with her red lips, and her fiery body was wrapping around him like a water snake.
Chu Yanwu smiled and hugged the beauty, and brought her to the bed.
There was nothing wrong with his behavior, but his heart was filled with ice.
Xiao Chen and Zhou Tianfu fight, I am happy to see it!
He wanted to see what the outcome would be!
