History proves that change happens later.

Liu Tong is not stupid, of course he knows the truth, if he wants to leave, he will leave early, who knows what kind of changes will happen after tonight

After a little preparation, Liu Tong hurriedly left the mansion.

In fact, there is nothing to prepare, as long as you bring your life, bring the edict of Sangongzhao to the Qin people, and there is nothing else to bring, nothing more than some gold and silver soft or maid mothers, and the tiredness of servants and servants.

As long as life remains, there will be anything.

Although you don't have to bring these things, you still have to explain what you should explain, so Liu Tong explained to the housekeeper, "It may take some time for me to go out this time, and you will be fully responsible for the affairs in the house after I leave." Remember, after I leave, no matter what kind of changes there are in the house, you must go to Qianyi at any time to report to me. ”

"The minion made a note of it." The butler replied.

After the arrangement, Liu Tong took advantage of the sunset to get up and go to Qianyi, and the moment he walked out of Sancheng, Liu Tong felt so comfortable all over his body.

Comfortable

Only then did Liu Tong realize that he had always been depressed when he stayed in the city.

Just as Liu Tong's car was leaving Sancheng, a person in an inn opposite the mansion had been quietly looking at this side, watching Liu Tong's car drive out of the mansion, and then the person got up and walked out of the inn.

This person is none other than Zhou Yao, the son of Zhou Huan, the old Xiangguo, at this time Zhou Yao served as a middle doctor in Sanguo, a very ordinary official.

Although his position is not high, Zhou Yao, like his father, is the most loyal courtier of the scattered country, loyal to the country and loyal to the king.

Judging from the performance of the period from the death of Sanpan to the return of Prince Zhao to his return, Zhou Yao was keenly aware that there was something wrong with the country, and it was a big problem.

The reason why people think about the problem in this way is also well-founded.

The most important thing is that the new monarch has been on the throne for a long time, but he has not seen the face of the monarch for a long time, and all the decrees of the scattered country were issued by Liu Tong, the prime minister. Isn't that surprising

With these questions, Zhou Yao once asked some ministers to discuss the matter.

The answer is strikingly unanimous, that is, the new monarch will be mourned, and the new monarch will keep filial piety for him.

Keeping filial piety seems to be a very reasonable reason, but Zhou Yao still feels that there is a problem here. If the average person has nothing to keep filial piety for three years, Ji Zhao is the monarch of the country, and if the monarch of a country keeps filial piety for three years, then who will handle the political affairs of the country

What's more, the relationship between Prince Zhao and Sanpanzi is not good, the contradiction between father and son is very deep, since there is such a deep contradiction, how can Taizizhao take the initiative to keep filial piety for Sanpanzi for so long

Keeping filial piety, it is obvious that this seemingly reasonable reason is actually untenable.

There's definitely something wrong with that

It's not that the king is under house arrest

As soon as he thought of this, Zhou Yao immediately realized that something was wrong, yes, it was very likely that the monarch was under house arrest.

As time passed, Zhou Yao became more and more skeptical, and he decided to investigate the reasons for this.

examine

It seems simple, but it's not so easy to do. Because if you want to investigate this matter, you have to enter the palace, but the palace gate is controlled by Shi Kai, and it is obviously not possible to go in if you want to go in.

So when Zhou Yao walked into the gate of the palace, he was naturally blocked, "The king is the first monarch to keep filial piety, no one is seen, and all affairs during the filial piety period are handled by Xiangguo." ”

Everything was handled by Liu Tong

Liu Tong, Liu Tong, you are really an outsider, and you want to take the opportunity to control the scattered country

Hmph, for the sake of the country, for the sake of the king, I, Zhou Yao, must give it a go.

For a period of time after that, Zhou Yao rented a house in an inn not far from the palace and Liu Tong's mansion to observe Liu Tong's every move.

After a long time, there was a harvest, that is, the ministers who went back and forth in and out of the palace except for Liu Tong was Shi Kai.

Shi Kai actually colluded with Liu Tong

No wonder Liu and an outsider were able to control the situation in Sanguo in such a short period of time, it turned out that someone was helping him

But how could Shi Kai collude with Liu Tong, you must know that Shi Kai is a native of Sanguo, or his father Zhou Huan, Lao Xiangguo, was single-handedly raised when he was alive, and such a staunch supporter of Sanguo would collude with Liu Tong, an outsider, to put the monarch under house arrest

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yao decided to meet this Shi Kai for a while, unlock the secrets, and also open up the predicament of the scattered country.

On the night that Liu Tong left Sancheng, Zhou Yao walked into Shikai's mansion.

"General, Doctor Zhou Yao asks to see you."

Zhou Yao asked to see him

For Zhou Yao, Shi Kai knows, his age is about the same as himself, and his ability level is very unusual, if it weren't for his father's obstruction, maybe he would have become the minister of the scattered country long ago.

At this time, Zhou Yao asked to see him, what did he come to do, but he couldn't see it

After thinking about it for a long time, Shi Kai decided to meet the son of Xiangguo, "Please wait in the hall of Lord Zhou." ”

In any case, Zhou Yao is also the son of Lao Xiangguo, and he is also the old man of Sanguo, presumably he will not harm himself

After tidying up a little, Shi Kai came to the hall, and Zhou Yao was already waiting here at this time.

"I don't know what kind of advice Lord Zhou came to come late at night" After seeing Zhou Yao, Shi Kai asked.

Zhou Yao turned around and arched his hand, "I came to visit late at night, and I hope I forgive me for the disturbance." ”

After a brief politeness, Shi Kai said to Zhou Yao, "Doctor Zhong must have something important to come here late at night, please speak", and the two sat down in front of the desk face to face.

"Okay, in that case, I'll ask." Zhou Yao also asked politely, "The first question I want to ask is whether the guards of the palace are the general's soldiers and horses."

Well

It's so sharp, it's such a direct question, and it suddenly poked at the tip of Shi Kai's heart, "What are you doing when you ask this?"

"The general just answers yes or no"

"Indeed, they are my soldiers and horses."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Zhou Yao continued to ask, "The second question I asked is, is it Liu Tong who asked you to do this matter of sending troops to garrison the palace?"

One question was sharper than the other, which made Shi Kai shocked, "This is indeed what Liu Tong asked me to do." ”

Zhou Yao nodded, "I just wanted to confirm one of my own guesses, and now it seems that my guess has indeed been confirmed, you have been used." ”

Taken advantage of

Shi Kai looked at Zhou Yao with wide eyes, "How can I be used by others, who am I used by?"

"Who else can there be, of course it is Xiangguo Liu Tong." Zhou Yao knew that it would take a little time to explain clearly to Shi Kai, so he said, "General Shi, since your army took charge of the palace, the monarch has been essentially controlled by you, and since then, all orders for the dispersal of the kingdom have been issued by Liu Tong. In other words, for some time, Sanguo has actually been controlled by Liu Tong, right?"

Shi Kai nodded.

"This is Liu Tong's ambition, to achieve his goal of taking charge of the government through your soldiers and horses to put the monarch under house arrest." Zhou Yao sighed and said, "You are also an old minister of the scattered country, why should you be an accomplice of others."

Shi Kai listened, "Actually, I don't want to be with Liu, but you know that when Xianjun was injured in hunting, I was also at the scene, and once it was traced, I couldn't get out of it." I was worried that I would be traced and had to follow Liu Tong's arrangement. ”

Oh, I see.
