When the dozens of people saw a group of palace guards walking with a child in their arms, they were puzzled, and they put down the quarrel and let the debut. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info so Zhou Bian walked all the way to the front of the people dressed as sons, before he stopped, and when he looked at it, he knew that the thin and tall one in the middle was his royal brother, but because of this, the master and the entourage at that time were still easy to distinguish, whether it was clothing or facial expressions.

Zhou Bian had changed into a regular suit today, instead of the complicated royal robe, and the young man only remembered Zhou Bian's appearance, and he was not sure who was in front of him for a while, so he just arched his hand casually in confusion.

"May I ask which one is Wang Zijiong?" To be on the safe side, Zhou Bian still asked first.

Sure enough, it was the tall and thin man in the middle, "It's Prince Ben, but I don't know who this little brother is?" ”

"This is our king, why don't you kneel down and salute?" It was the one who spoke out, but it was thoughtful. Naturally, Zhou Bian shouldn't say this, otherwise he would really lose his identity, and Zhou Bian still had to put on a posture, so he hugged each other with his hands and looked at these people with a slight smile.

Sure enough, the prince Jiong and the others still saluted obediently, and Zhou Bian had the heart to give this prince Jiong a dismount, so he didn't reach out to help, and waited until the thin and tall man's forehead touched the ground before signaling him to flatten down.

But this prince Jiong didn't care, stood up and patted his clothes, squeezed out a sad look, "It turned out to be the king, the first king died a few days ago, I wanted to come after I learned about it, how did I expect that the big river was just frozen, and was pulled by the entourage to prevent him from crossing the river, until yesterday when the ice on the river was thick, then he came overnight, I didn't think that the palace guards actually stopped the prince, and did not let the prince go to worship the first king, and his entourage quarreled with the guards, but it alarmed the king, and I hope the king will forgive me." ”

Zhou Bian couldn't help frowning, and was about to open his mouth to let the guards go, but he remembered that he was afraid that the queen mother deliberately ordered the guards to stop him, so he stopped talking, thought about it, and pretended to be angry and said, "Then why is it so coincidental, this king ascended the throne yesterday, and you came today?" ”

"The king is angry, this prince does not know when the king will ascend the throne, it is indeed yesterday that the river can be passed. I had planned to wait until I had paid homage to the first queen and then come to my king, but unexpectedly I disturbed the royal squad, and forgave my sins. The prince bowed and said, looking respectful.

"Humph!" Unexpectedly, a discordant voice came at this time, but Zhou Bian looked at a young man, with a delicate appearance and a disdainful face. Behind the young man was an old man, who patted him gently, and then lowered his head and squinted at Zhou Bian, seeing that Zhou Bian didn't have much reaction, so he was relieved.

Zhou Bian saw all this in his eyes and secretly remembered it in his heart, anyway, since he was in a high position, there were many people who couldn't get used to him, and he didn't have to worry about them one by one. After thinking about it, Zhou Bian said, "It's okay, after the king goes to the palace to greet the queen mother, he will talk to the queen mother for the prince's brother." ”

"That's very good. Congratulations to the king! ”

Among the dozens of people who bent down to see each other off, Zhou Bian walked towards the palace. After entering the palace, Zhou Bian slowed down his pace and hurriedly ran to the Queen Mother, this prince is weird, I am too serious in the big week, and I can't stand a little toss, and Zhou Bian is not familiar with this person, so I can only ask the Queen Mother first.

The Queen Mother was resting in the palace, as if she was fine, and when she saw Zhou Bian running in a hurry, she showed a loving expression.

"Wang'er, why are you so flustered?"

"Queen Mother, is it Wang Zijiong who is outside the palace gate, why is he here today?" Speaking of words, Zhou Bian was still a little panting.

"Hehe, don't be in a hurry, the king is here, what are you afraid of, no one can take away your throne."

Zhou Bian couldn't help but be embarrassed when he heard this, as if he was very greedy for this throne.

Seeing that Zhou Bian's face was red, and he wanted to say something but didn't say anything, the Queen Mother smiled, "Wang'er, you were still young when your brother Wang succeeded to the throne, and you didn't know many things. Your father has three concubines, and your mother is the main palace, and the mother of the prince Jiong wants to take the position of your mother by relying on her husband to give birth to her son, which causes your father to be disgusted, and ordered to enter the cold palace, and died soon after, so the prince Jiong was sent to Wenyi on the north side of the river early, and he did not come back all the year round. Taishi and the others don't like him either, so Wang Er doesn't have to worry. The palace learned that he had entered the city early in the morning, and deliberately ordered the guards to stop him at the door and give him a cold drink, so that he would not think that my orphans and widows were good bullies. It's almost over, and this palace will let people go and let him in. Don't snub your father's blood too much. "It turns out that this defeated royal family ** also has a palace fight, just listening to the queen mother's casual words, you know the risks.

Zhou Bian was still puzzled, and always felt that it was a coincidence that he happened to come today, and it should have little to do with the ice of the river, but the Queen Mother didn't say anything, so she didn't ask again. casually talked to the Queen Mother.

Before lunch, Wang Zijiong officially paid homage to Zhou Bian in the court, but this time it was three bows and nine knocks, and no one could find fault with it.

"King, Weichen has something to report."

Zhou Bian looked at Wang Zijiong in the audience suspiciously, this guy has finished visiting, what else do you want to say. Thinking about it, he nodded and let him come.

"King, Weichen heard that there are many farmers outside Chengzhou City who are short of grain, and my Wenyi still has enough food, but people can transport it across the river for the king's use, and I hope the king will accept it with a smile." Wang Zijiong said it extremely sincerely.

"It's okay, since the prince has this heart, the king will laugh at it, but my royal family is short of people, and you need to send someone to transport it." There is no good thing that is not accepted, so Zhou Bian decided to agree first.

"Your Majesty, the business has been finished, can you allow Prince Ben to say a few private words?"

"Brother Prince, please speak!"

"People say that my Great Zhou has been weak for hundreds of years, which is caused by fratricidal brothers, and now the two sons of the Duke of Zhou are fighting each other, making the princes of the countries laugh. Therefore, this prince hopes to be able to love the king's brothers, and this prince is willing to fully assist the king and revive my great Zhou together. If the king is of any use to my place, please just tell me. After Wang Zijiong said these words in an impassioned tone, he lowered his head and waited for Zhou Bian to reply, but there was no sound for a long time, and when he looked up, he saw Zhou Bian sitting silently on the stage, and he couldn't see anything on his face.

In fact, Zhou Bian was already wary of this prince, not to mention that this prince Jiong chose to come to Zhou today, which made Zhou Bian even more disgusted, so Zhou Bian didn't speak, see what else this prince Jiong had to say, he was more confident than silent Zhou Bian and had not been afraid of anyone.

Sure enough, it was Wang Zijiong who then spoke, "The king first ascended the throne as the king, if there is something that cannot be decided, you can ask me, my brother has been managing Wenyi on behalf of the king and the king for many years, and he also has a lot of experience in governing the country, and he is willing to do his best to assist the king." ”

Zhou Bian was still silent, in fact, Wang Zijiong's mind had already been said very clearly, that is, if he wanted to return to Chengzhou, if he didn't return to Chengzhou, how could he let the king ask about politics. For a long time, Wang Zijiong's sweat was about to drip down, and at this time, Zhou Bian's silence was actually more effective than any language, so that you couldn't guess what the superior was thinking, and it could give people a sense of suppressed majesty, and it was obvious that Zhou Bian handled it just right.

Until a sound of footsteps came, followed by Taishi and others who walked into the hall.

"Wang Zijiong, you don't guard Wenyi for the king in the north of the big river, why are you running here?" At this time, the Taishi was full of fierce faces, and he really didn't like Wang Jiong as the Queen Mother said.

Wang Zijiong still seemed to be a little afraid of the Taishi, and saw that the Taishi was busy lowering his head, "Back to the Taishi, this prince is here to worship the former king and see the king." ”

"Then why did you go earlier? Okay, you've already worshiped everything you should have worshipped today, why haven't you returned to Wenyi? ”

When Wang Zijiong heard this, he hurriedly turned around and left, and trotted up, and sure enough, he was still a great teacher, and he drove him away in a few words.

Glancing at Wang Zijiong's back, a gentle smile appeared on his face when the Taishi turned his head, Zhou Bian hurriedly saluted respectfully, at this time, there is no doubt that the Taishi is the mainstay, and the Taishi has always given Zhou Bian great support. After the Taishi casually said something to Zhou Bian so that he didn't have to pay attention to this prince Jiong, he took his leave and left, it seemed that he came specifically for Wang Zijiong. Seeing the Taishi leave, Zhou Bian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, there are still too few talents, and the Taishi has to worry about everything.

Sure enough, Wang Zijiong and his entourage left in the afternoon, presumably they had to rest in Mengjin for one night before they could reach Wenyi tomorrow, but this was not what Zhou Bian cared about. Zhou Bian was concerned about how the Taishi disaster relief was and how Wang Sunman was progressing, but at this time he had nothing to do, remembering what he thought on the way back in the morning, so he rushed to find his own personal guards, and found a few carpenters in the palace, and began to design and manufacture a four-wheeled carriage with shock absorption.

In ancient China, all kinds of science and technology were very developed, but this four-wheeled carriage has never appeared, in fact, the main reason is the problem of thinking. The key to the four-wheeled carriage is the steering mechanism, which is not a problem for Zhou Bian in modern society, the rear wheels of the four-wheeled carriage are still like that, but the front wheel axle is independent, and the center of the axle is connected to the car body through a vertical shaft, which can rotate freely left and right, and the horse moves forward with the front axle, and the front axle turns with the horse when turning, and the carriage can keep up. After sorting out the clues, Zhou Bian decided to transform a carriage into a four-wheeled one first, and the carpenters were also flexible, and soon understood what Zhou Bian meant, and immediately got busy.
