When the saint said this, he paused for a moment, and then said, "But whoever wants to make trouble in this heart will cause chaos everywhere." In this matter, the saint is still too merciful. ”

Zhou Huanzhu didn't answer, and when he saw that a guest was coming, he went to entertain other guests, and after the guests sat down, the saint didn't stay long, and left with Concubine Ya.

When she arrived at the inn, Concubine Ya said to the sage, "I don't know what the sage thinks?" ”

"This is the right theory, others don't need to investigate, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhao really has the wisdom to know people, let's go back."

Concubine Ya asked the sage about how Zhou Huanzhu should be arranged, and the sage smiled and said, "Since this is the case, I will ask him for a knowledgeable word, I don't know what you think of Huayu?" ”

"It's not as good as the virtuous department."

These two subjects belong to the inspection, but the erudition comes out, and there are basically two paths, one is to enter the Hanlin, and the other is to be a speech official, which is basically an idle job. This main one was originally intended for the scholars of the Wei Dynasty, and it was impossible to give too much real power.

The Xianliang Section is prepared for the nobles, and they can be directly appointed as magistrates in these places, or they can be sergeants in the Liuguan Mansion, all of which are real power units.

The sage smiled, nodded, and then said, "That Liu Xin, I don't know if I was saved." ”

"Saint, I guess I would have saved it a long time ago."

"Okay, then let's look forward to his performance in the coming year, and I hope he can improve step by step."

"What position is the saint going to give him then?"

"I'm going to republish the Thirteen Classics, and when the time comes, he can help revise them."

Concubine Ya nodded, then rested with the saint, and then went back to the capital.

On the third anniversary of Emperor Wen's death, the sage issued an edict to divide the eight kings.

"The eldest prince Wenjin, named the king of Jiaodong, is the capital of Hailan City."

"The second prince, Wen Shuo, was named the king of Qin, and the capital was Zhao County."

"The fifth prince, Wen Xun, was named the king of Zhou, and the capital was Heyang City."

"The Seven Princes Wenyuan, the King of Fengyou, are all Changhe."

"The Eighth Prince Wenhui, the King of Fengliang, is all Guanzhou."

In the first year of next year, the eight princes will go to their respective fiefdoms to take up vassals.

This edict was unexpected, and even the Eight Kings, who were so enthusiastic as the Nine Emperor Princes, were stunned.

That night, the King of Qin, the King of Zhou, and the King of You, the three princes gathered at the residence of King Luo to discuss the matter.

The first to speak was the Youwang, and he said dissatisfiedly: "What a Youwang, basically even if you throw the widow into the outer land." ”

King Zhou and King Qin didn't speak, both of them were good places, King Qin was in Wuliang Mansion, which was the granary of the Yu Dynasty. King Zhou is in Nanzhili Mansion, which is the Gyeonggi region, so naturally it is not easy to say anything.

King Luo said worriedly: "In this way, we have almost been dismantled, the eldest brother is in Canghai Mansion, there is no need to count on it, the third brother is in Xiangyun Mansion, and you are almost separated by a world from the seventh brother." The sixth brother is next to you, but between us, it is far away. ”

King Luo deliberately did not mention the king of Zhou and the king of Qin, presumably because he was dissatisfied in his heart. King You said bluntly: "Fifth brother, you should know that we have several brothers, and if we are brothers, we will benefit both sides, and divide will cause two harms. Don't let us brothers down now. ”

King Zhou said to King You: "Seventh brother, this matter is still known to the widow, but in this way, if you want to contact each other, it will be extremely difficult. ”

King Luo said to them: "In any case, in three years, the widow will definitely take the lead, and when the time comes, the elder brothers, don't be blinded by the throne in front of you." ”

"I don't know what the ninth brother is going to do when he arrives in the fiefdom?"

"Brothers can rest assured in this matter, I have already made arrangements for my younger brother, and in less than three years, there will be 100,000 people in the widows, and when the time comes, the handsome division will go south and lead the Beijing division directly."

Looking at King Luo's confident appearance, King Zhou thought for a while and said, "Since this is the case, then when the time comes, what will happen if the ninth brother wins this throne?" ”

"The fiefdom of the world is chosen by you. The younger brother must abide by the ancestral teachings and rule the world together with all the elder brothers. ”

When King Luo said this, he said to them: "It's too early to say this, let's wait until we capture the Jingshi first, and wait until we are the domain, and then your brothers, you must prepare troops and cultivate martial arts, and prepare to respond." ”

Everyone said well, in order to avoid the court spies from coming to listen, so everyone left here.

The king of Zhou returned to his mansion and summoned his men.

"Lord, what should we do after the time comes?"

"Naturally, I want to be a happy prince, otherwise what else can I do?"

"Lord, little dare to ask, if there is a change in the world, who will you help?"

"Naturally, it's to help the court." King Zhou didn't think about it, and directly answered Duan Jianqing's question, Duan Jianqing and the others looked at it, and some couldn't believe it.

After a long time, Duan Jianqing said to King Zhou, "Then Lord Wang, why did you go to see King Luo?" ”

"He invited the widow, and it was not good for the widow not to go. Okay, the widow looks at you and doesn't understand, so the widow will tell you directly, and the widow will ask you, in this world fiefdom, is there any better place than Zhoudi. ”

Everyone thought about it, and finally shook their heads, it is true that Zhoudi is the best fief, and the best one than Zhoudi is Gyeonggi, and the imperial court will naturally not seal Gyeonggi to others.

"If that is the case, then why should I rebel? And there's one more thing, don't you notice? The four mansions on the left side of the river are the places where my family is prosperous, and the saints have not been rewarded. ”

Duan Jianqing asked curiously, "Please also ask the prince for advice." ”

"Lao Jiu thinks easily, as soon as Gyeonggi is broken, the world will change, in fact, he is wrong, the saint can also tour the south, with the southern capital as the capital, don't forget, the holy dynasty is the southern capital for the capital, and the northern capital is the companion."

Duan Jianqing thought of this, and said to King Zhou: "If the prince saint is on a southern tour, he will definitely have to pass through Zhoudi, and when the time comes, the prince will have a meritorious service." ”

"Maybe the sage will let the widow command the troops in the north to quell the rebellion, which is also possible."

Everyone suddenly realized, and they all praised King Zhou's far-reaching thoughts, but King Zhou couldn't say it in his heart, this is okay to meet the faint king, with the shrewdness of the saint, even if he patrols the south, the military power will not fall into his own hands, and at that time, he can only take one step at a time.

At this time, Duan Jianqing remembered something, handed a letter to King Zhou, and said to King Zhou: "Lord Wang, Chixiao sent someone to ask for help from the little one, and the little one didn't dare to make his own decisions, and asked the prince to take a look." ”

Duan Jianqing opened it and took a look, it turned out to be Dong Zhenzi's letter of help, in July, Chixiao's head sat down, and no one was designated as the head, Dong Zhenzi and Duan Jianqing became friends, so he hoped that Duan Jianqing could see his friend's face and come to Chixiao to help him.

King Zhou looked at it and said to Duan Jianqing: "This is a good thing, but if Dong Zhenzi becomes the head, he needs to help us a little." ”

"Lord Wang, what's the matter?"

"According to the ancestral teachings, the vassal king is not allowed to accumulate troops, but there is no problem with raising soldiers, so the widow wants a few Chixiao high roads, come to the palace, teach martial arts, and explain the Taoist scriptures."

Duan Jianqing knew what King Zhou meant, and said to King Zhou: "Then the subordinates will go first, and when the matter of Chixiao is over, the subordinates will definitely bring a few high Dao to see the prince." ”

"You go, remember, if Dong Zhenzi is unwilling, then the other five sons will also be fine, with your swordsmanship, and your identity, the head of this Chixiao is all in your thoughts."

Duan Jianqing nodded, King Zhou thought for a while and said: "You go this time, you have to pass through Fengcheng, the widow has prepared some gifts for the Duke of Xiangguo, you can also bring it, by the way, the widow's daughter will be able to reach after four years, and the widow hopes to kiss and kiss." ”

Duan Jianqing wrote it down, and went with the gift the next day.

When Duan Jianqing left, Li Feng on the mountain also received a letter, and Li Feng and Wei Sisi discussed it.

Wei Sisi said to Li Feng: "Fourth Senior Brother, since Dong Xuanzi has a life-saving grace for you, and the other five sons have improper mental skills, if you become the head, it will not be a blessing for Chixiao, now I think, we must go this time." ”

Li Feng nodded gratefully, Wei Sisi and the others didn't say much, packed their luggage, and set off.

By the time they reached Chixiao, it was already the end of the month.

Dong Xuanzi greeted them at the foot of the mountain, and did not take them to the subjective, but placed them in a Taoist temple in Zhurong Peak, and asked the auxiliary to entertain them.

After the three of them put down their luggage, Wei Sisi asked about the situation in the auxiliary mountain.

The auxiliary also told them: "After the head of the immortal left, because there was no designated head candidate, the five senior brothers and uncles and the master were all fighting. Now Uncle Dong Zhenzi invited Duan Jianqing, a sword from Hezuo, and Uncle Dong Miaozi found King Cao's Bagong, and I heard that this time, Bagong came back with many people. Uncle Dong Shenzi seems to have invited a Taoist friend who returned to Tibet, and the guest invited by Uncle Dong Qingzi is not very clear, I heard that he is the owner of an owl island in the East China Sea, nicknamed Venerable Viper. Uncle Dong Pingzi invited his friends, and there are three mountains and five mountains, but there are not many masters. ”

When Wei Sisi heard this, he said to the auxiliary life: "In this way, it seems that there is really a mixture of dragons and snakes in Chixiao Mountain on this day. ”

"Yes, everyone is going to ask the real person to judge, but it is inconvenient for the real person to deal with things now."

This news made Wei Sisi stunned, but he soon understood, presumably Concubine Xian was pregnant, so she couldn't come.

This time, there was no interference from Concubine Xian here, Wei Sisi also breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the auxiliary life: "Since this is the case, how can the head of the family be elected?" ”

"Win by force."

When Cao Yin heard these four words, he couldn't help but shake his head and say; "It's really nonsense, I didn't expect Chixiao, a thousand-year-old Dao Sect, to use such a way to determine the leader."

"Master Cao, except for this method, everyone else is not convinced, isn't this helpless?"

Cao Yin didn't have anything more, and asked about the auxiliary life about the content of this competition.

"Each uncle sends three people, three stations and two wins, in the way of fighting, one day at a time. At the beginning of the ninth day of the first month, the thirteenth will end, the fourteenth will pay thanks to the patriarch, and the fifteenth will preside over the big sacrifice. ”
