Last time, it was said that the ghost of Zhou Jun was reincarnated into the "Great Shang Kingdom" and became the "Little Prince", which coincided with the palace coup and witnessed human tragedy before the full moon was over.
"Haha, Father, what do you think? I am going to continue killing people next, haha. Do it!" The eldest princess's pretty face was frosty, she bit her silver teeth, and then made a motion of raising the knife with her hand. Then, I saw the imperial guards pulling out their sabers from their waists and stabbing all the clan members.
"Uh... no - it's over! Our Great Shang Kingdom is over! My whole family is over! Uh..." Due to the rage in his heart, the old emperor couldn't breathe, fell down under the dragon bed and died. After all, in a good country, even if the throne cannot be passed on to a daughter, it should still be passed on to a nephew?
However, this "big princess" who holds military power does not think so. After all, she is the old emperor's biological child, and her father's blood is still flowing in her body. How can those uncles and brothers who are separated by a layer of belly compare? What's more, throughout the ages, the struggle for imperial power has been a matter of life and death for the country!
"Okay, now it's your mother and son's turn? Tell me, what do you want me to do with you?" The eldest princess asked someone to pull out the stuff in her mouth.
"Uh... breathe... breathe... I... I am guilty, and deserve death!" The princess of the "Porridge Kingdom" hugged the baby in her arms tightly, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Yes, you must die because you cuckolded my father and put him in danger of death. However, this little baby..."
"Uuuuuu... don't, don't, don't kill him! He is my concubine's only relative in the world, wu wu..." This "little stepmother" was afraid that her son would be killed.
"Tell me! What's going on?" The eldest princess clenched her silver teeth and shouted loudly: "Is it possible that you are having an affair with an official or general in the palace?"
"No - I have not! I have never slept with a man!" The princess of the "Porridge Kingdom" saw the murderous intention of the other party and did not want to implicate innocent people.
"Nonsense! Without the harmony of yin and yang and the harmony of heaven and earth, how could you possibly be pregnant and give birth to a child? You must be unruly women and seducing men?"
"No - no! I am innocent. Just because my 'old friend' came to visit that night, suddenly a blinding light fell from the sky and hit me, so..."
"Old friend? Who? Tell me your accomplices quickly? Otherwise, he will be executed in Lingchi and cut into pieces! Then chop your son into pieces and feed them to the dogs, Chatter..."
"No - no! Please let me go. I really didn't..." Before he could finish his words, Da Yu'er drew his sword and stabbed him to death!
In fact, the so-called "old friend" is a euphemism for women to call themselves "menstrual cramps", just like the "great aunt" often referred to in later generations.
But the strange thing is that the newly ascended domineering "Queen" believed what the other party said, because on the night of the incident, the brilliant light falling from the sky illuminated the entire palace, and even the officials of the "Qintian Prison" did not He could figure out what was going on, but he just said vaguely: "Visitors from outer space..."
Perhaps out of maternal instinct, or perhaps out of curiosity about the mysterious origin of her son, the new "Queen" suddenly felt that the little guy in front of her could be a playmate with her newly born eldest son? So, she was so hard-hearted that she decided to adopt him.
Time flies like water, and ten years pass in the blink of an eye.
In the past ten years, under the rule of the empress who violently overthrew her father through a "palace coup", the "Great Shang Kingdom" not only experienced no turmoil, but also made huge profits from successfully suppressing provocations from surrounding ethnic groups/countries. Further expand the territory and start business with foreign powers.
At this time, Zhou Jun was as handsome as the Crown Prince, but Zhou Jun seemed taciturn, while the Crown Prince was lively and cute. The reason was that Zhou Jun not only retained the memory of his previous life completely in his mind, but also clearly remembered the other person's "Emperor" "Mother" is his "mother-killing enemy"!
What's even more disgusting is that this domineering "Queen" also gave herself an unpleasant name - "Zichou". Instead, she named her eldest son "Zhiwei" (not "Zhiwei"), with the meaning of "Mighty and Majestic" ", because she later gave birth to three sons named "Zhifeng", "Zi Ling" and "Zi Bin".
However, Zhou Jun couldn't show disgust and hatred. After all, he was still young and was controlled by others, so he had to find a way to leave her.
How to get out of the other party's control? This is a big problem, because Zhou Jun has felt that as he grows older, more and more eyes are staring at him. He seems to feel that only through himself can he be bound to the "Crown Prince" and provide a better future for those who are interested. Power for profit.
Throughout the dynasties, the power struggle in the palace always makes people feel helpless and disgusting, but it also always makes some people with ulterior motives enjoy it.
But as the "initiator", the Queen remained silent and even secretly encouraged those who jumped up and down to reveal their handle.
This is the game maker! This is a cruel person! But in order to deceive others, she decided to recruit talents from all over the world and sincerely invited "good gentlemen" to tutor her.
The so-called "good gentlemen" are not limited to the "Hongru" who are well-read in poetry and books, but also the "Ranger" who are excellent in martial arts and the "marshal" who can command thousands of troops.
To this end, this tough-minded "Queen" also convened a "court meeting" and a "palace meeting" to combine the strategy of governing the country with teaching and educating people.
"The Emperor has arrived!" --- "Long live my Emperor!"
"Your Majesty, please take your seats!" --- "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
After a long cry of "Long Live the Mountain", all the civil and military officials entered their ranks, knelt and sat up, all looking like their eyes were watching their noses and their noses were watching their hearts.
"Dear ladies, what do you want to report? Tell me in detail. I am all ears!" The Queen changed her father's rule and asked officials to stand before the court.
"The humble minister is reporting to the Emperor. Outside the palace, there are dozens of great scholars of the time who have proposed themselves and want to become the teachers of 'His Royal Highness' and all the 'princes'!"
"Oh? In that case, let them come in, let me open my eyes and see the style of the 'Hongru' in this world." The Queen said aloofly.
"According to the order!" After the official in charge of etiquette and music bowed and saluted, he exited the hall and smiled at the noisy group of Confucian scholars outside:
"Your Majesty has an order, please go in. Remember to behave well and don't embarrass me." As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the court.
"This humble minister reports to the Emperor. The scholars outside the palace have already arrived." After the official in charge of rituals saluted, he turned around and said, "Why don't you kneel down quickly?"
"Common people... pay homage to the emperor! Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!" Dozens of Confucian scholars in green clothes and sandals and square gentleman's hats knelt down and worshiped.
"Get back on your feet." The queen sat in a high position, with a crown on her body, majestic and solemn: "Tell me, what fields are you good at? How do you govern the country?"
"Ruling the country? Not tutoring? Could it be that the female emperor wants to give us officials and titles? Wouldn't that make a lot of money?" All the Confucian scholars secretly rejoiced.
"Reporting to the emperor, ordinary people think, 'Governing a big country is like cooking small fresh food'..." Then he revealed his own philosophy of governing the country, which immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding Confucian scholars. After all, this is what Laozi said in the "Tao Te Ching", because it is consistent with Confucianism. The Analects of Confucius, which is enshrined as a classic, is different, so it has been questioned.
Next, all the Confucian scholars took Lao Tzu's "small country with few people" and "governing by doing nothing" as the starting point, and they continued to criticize him with words and writings, and they never tired of it.
As a result, the originally solemn atmosphere of the entire court suddenly became as noisy as a market. Although it was a debate, it was not in line with etiquette.
Time flies by for an hour, but no one can convince anyone, because some Confucian scholars advocate "Confucianism, Dharma and Bone", some advocate "both magic and power", and some talk about the "Tao of Confucius and Mencius", and some Confucian scholars even deduced it in advance The emergence of the "Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism" that only existed in later generations was truly far-sighted!
This made the civil and military officials in the palace feel puzzled. After all, although Confucian scholars heard the truth clearly, those who believed in "Legalists", "Military Strategists", "Political Strategists" and other schools of thought may not agree. Therefore, after being reminded by the Superintendent of Ceremonies, the Confucian scholars still kept their mouths shut.
"Your Majesty, there are people from the Mohist, Taoist, Yin-Yang, Jiran, and Immortal Cultivators outside the palace who are asking to see you. Your Majesty..."
"Oh? Immortal cultivator? Please come quickly!" The civil and military ministers in the palace were shocked after hearing this. After all, even the queen who was sitting in a high position was emotional.
"The common people... pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor." After the "Mo Family", "Tao Family", "Yin Yang Family", "Ji Ran Zhe" and others came forward to pay homage to the aloof Queen, the "Xiu Xian" who appeared last Instead, he stood arrogantly with fists in his hands and saluted, dressed casually, and behaved carefree.
"Who are you so bold? Why don't you kneel down when you see our Emperor? Could it be that the steel sword of my 'Great Shang Kingdom' can't cut off your head?" Ting Wei was angry.
"Haha, please calm down. I am a wild man from a mountain village who has never seen the world, so I am making you laugh." The cultivator said disapprovingly: "Is the steel knife sharp?"
"What? How dare you blow your nose and stare? Where is the warrior in front of the palace? Take him!" Following the roar of Tingwei, dozens of guards swarmed in.
Seeing this scene full of solemnity, there was a commotion in the main hall, especially the faces of the Confucian scholars who had just come in to talk.
As for the other "self-recommended" people, including some civil and military officials, they were all sweating, presumably worried about getting angry.
However, the "Her Majesty the Queen" who was sitting in a high position was indifferent to this, and was even happy to see the results, thinking that this "immortal cultivator" was really different.
"Haha, 'immortals' are also 'mountain people'. Go to the mountains to practice, stay away from the world of mortals, transcend the world, and seek immortality. Why fear the swords of the world? No matter what the obstacles are!" As soon as the words fell, I saw the slovenly and casually dressed man. The "immortal cultivator" actually sat on the floor and meditated, closing his eyes to rest his mind, and he was not afraid of boiling water.
"As you wish, the consequences are at your own risk! Swords at your service!" What followed was a series of clanging sounds. It turned out that the steel knives and sharp swords of the palace guards were stabbing the arrogant "immortal cultivator" , sparks suddenly flew everywhere, people screamed again and again, the swords collapsed, it was so weird!
"What? This... invulnerability? How is it possible!" Everyone was dumbfounded, even the Imperial Guards who had their jaws shattered hurriedly stayed away from each other.
"Immortal Master? I have offended you so much, please forgive me!" He has the foresight to get into the position of Tingwei, so he quickly tried to make amends.
"Haha, it's easy to say. I am not here to teach you the so-called experience of governing the country. I just want to use the hands of Her Majesty the Queen to find a few people with 'spiritual qualifications' among the vast crowd and bring them back to the mountain gate to inherit the mantle." "As soon as he finished speaking, a white jade porcelain bottle appeared out of thin air with a backhand.
"Here is a bottle of elixir. After eating it, it can delay aging, get rid of all kinds of diseases, and prolong life. This is a small thank you gift from this poor man to Your Majesty."
As soon as he finished speaking, he blew lightly, and the "white jade porcelain bottle" seemed to have spirituality, flew to her Majesty the Queen and landed gently in front of her.
"This...'elixir'? This is too precious!" The queen's surprise was beyond words: "Master Immortal, if you want anything, I will satisfy you immediately."
