The departure of the king, although Wang Yufei was reluctant, but he could only lead the people of Gongyi to send it a few miles away, only then was Zhou Bian forced to stop his steps, and reluctantly watched the king's team disappear between the hills in the west. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Compared with the restrictions of Zhou Gong when he came, the morale of returning to Cheng Zhou this time was high, although he didn't sleep all night last night, although everyone didn't have the strength to sing a triumphant song created by the king himself, but everyone's footsteps were unusually fast. From time to time along the way, you can also meet Luoyang soldiers who fell to death and were injured in a hurry last night, and the young master also asked people to take them in one by one. After all, Zhou Bian was young, and he fell asleep while sitting in a rickety car, and when he woke up again, he found that the new barracks at the east gate of Cheng Zhou were already in sight, and the sun was just west at this time.

At the same time, Luoyang City had just spent a tense half a day. From dawn, there were intermittent stragglers running from the northeast, and when they saw Luoyang City, they entered from the three east gates, which was also the reason why Bai Gui's plan must control the east gate of Luoyang. The main control of the east gate is the army of Tu Ping, the second eldest of the Tu family, and Liu Yun's people, although there are not many people, but fortunately, the people who run back to Luoyang intermittently are also tired and cramped, Tu Ping and Liu Yun grabbed them one by one without much effort, and after telling Luoyang that they had settled down, they went to the barracks in the west of the city that had been controlled by Wang Sunjian. At noon, there were more people, and Bai Gui was nervous for a while, for fear that someone would gather to make trouble, but it didn't happen, and then Bai Gui also received news from the royal family from Gongyi, and the death of Zhou Gong was confirmed, Bai Gui sighed deeply, the history of Zhou Gong has ended, according to the temperament of today's king Zhou Bian, it is natural that Zhou Gong will not be established again.

However, a big stone in Bai Gui's heart was finally put down, originally after the dust in Luoyang settled, he was worried about what happened to Gongyi, but now that there is definite news, it seems that now the big thing has been decided, just waiting to welcome the king into the city. Remembering that the scheming in the past was not in vain, the corners of Bai Gui's mouth couldn't help but rise, and he immediately slapped his clothes and walked out. Now he still has a lot of things, to spread the news that the Duke of Zhou is dead and the king is about to enter Luoyang in the near future, and he has to visit the nobles in the city one by one to win their support for the king.

After noon, Tu Ping and Liu Yun finally ushered in the first heavyweight on the Dingding Gate, that is, the marshal of the Luoyang army who disappeared in Gongyi last night - General Long.

In fact, General Long was also careless that night, and he drank drunk alone, until the camp was in chaos, and the soldiers spent a lot of effort to wake him up, and General Long was also old, and it took a while to clear up the situation before he figured out the situation, and at this time the army was out of control. And just at this time, the warriors of Luoyang Dragon Mansion also happened to arrive, as soon as they heard that the old mother and beloved son were arrested, where else could General Long take care of, and heard that Zhou Gong was dead, he immediately gave up the idea of wanting to pacify the army, and immediately took a team of personal soldiers and hurried to the west.

And General Long was old and couldn't stand the bumps, so he didn't rush to the Dingding Gate until noon, and when he saw Tu Ping and another man standing high above the gate, General Long was suddenly in a hurry, and scolded under the city gate, "Tu's child, could it be that you are against Zhou Gong?" Why don't you send the old man's family quickly, and you will not die! ”

Tu Ping immediately laughed when he heard this, "Old boy Long, you don't want the life of a certain family without looking at the few people around you." I'll tell you the truth, your family is not in my hands, put down your weapons and you'll know. ”

General Long was furious when he heard this, and was about to scold, when he suddenly heard the man next to Tu Ping say, "Old General Long, don't be angry, you are a member of the royal family, your old lady and the prince are very good, and the white doctor of my royal family is picking them up to the Ming Palace as guests." We don't want to hurt you, so you better lay down your weapons and go to the Ming Palace with me. ”

Hey, it's really a member of the royal family, it seems that some rumors at night are still true, it is the king's hand on Zhou Gong, the king can't wait to take back Luoyang, General Long sighed, threw away the spear in his hand, slowly got out of the car, and ordered the soldiers around him to throw away their weapons, and the group walked into the city on foot. After passing through the city cave, he saw Liu Yun inside, escorting the old general and his party straight to the gate of the Ming Palace.

And there was another important person who entered Luoyang City at the same time as General Long, but he was alone, and he quietly flashed in from the south gate without attracting anyone's attention at all. This person is unkempt, his clothes and shoes are in tatters, if he doesn't look carefully, who can recognize it, it is actually the first strategist under Zhou Gong in the past - Ning Yue?

Ning Yue mingled in the crowd of Luoyang, and from time to time he either turned his back or lowered his head to dodge the group of street patrol soldiers in different clothes who walked by. Hearing the legends everywhere in Luoyang City, Duke Zhou is dead, and the king is about to enter Luoyang, Ning Yue couldn't help sighing, he was guarding against the royal family, but he didn't think that he still underestimated the royal family after all, and Duke Zhou lost completely this time.

The gate of the Ming Palace didn't have to think that it must have been occupied by the royal family, so Ning Yue did not hesitate at all, and after going around the alley, he climbed in from a low wall on the southwest side of the Ming Palace that was not noticed, and evaded the soldiers who patrolled more closely in the palace, and after a while, Ning Yue turned into the courtyard where the prince was.

Fortunately, the courtyard is tight on the outside and loose on the inside, and as long as you turn into the courtyard, you will no longer see a soldier patrolling. After walking into the small building, he was drunk by a maid, and seeing that it was the person next to the old lady, Ning Yue breathed a sigh of relief, "I am Doctor Ning, where is the son, and where is the old lady?" ”

The maid looked at it carefully for a moment, and then recognized Ning Yue and shouted, "Come with me." He took Ning Yue into the inner room.

In the inner room, as soon as he saw the figure of the old lady, Ning Yue knelt down uncontrollably, "Chen Ning Yue, see the old lady." Sadly, Zhou Gongchao was stabbed to death last night, and the Luoyang army was in chaos, and the ministers were incompetent and could not stop it, so they had to take advantage of the chaos to rush back overnight. Saying that, Ning Yue finally couldn't help but choke.

The old lady was stunned for a moment, but then stood up, "Are you Dr. Ning?" What do you say, my son Ji Chao is dead? ”

"Old lady, please mourn, Duke Zhou is indeed dead, I saw the body of Duke Zhou with my own eyes. However, last night Gongyi was in chaos, and the royal family took the opportunity to control Gongyi, so I fled back alone. But I don't know where the son is? Ning Yue asked earnestly.

But the old lady didn't seem to hear the latter words, but just asked, "My son Ji Chao is dead, the royal family, you are too ruthless, you want Luoyang, so and so will be the master of Zhou Gong, and you can return it, but why do you have to take my son's life?" The old lady began to weep bitterly.

Ning Yue hurriedly kowtowed, "Old lady, Duke Zhou's death was not the work of the royal family. In the middle of the night last night, the people arranged by the royal family came to look for Zhou Gong, and I personally stopped him, and then I entered again to find that Zhou Gong was dead. ”

"What? Who did that? Tell the old body, the old body has fought for this old life, and he will avenge my son! The old lady's beard was exhausted, and her expression suddenly became terrifying.

"Last night, I had been waiting next to Zhou Gong's residence, and after I sent Zhou Gong to bed at the end of the night dinner, there was only one small temple man serving Zhou Gong, and when I went in again in the middle of the night, the little temple man was gone. Most of the incident was done by the people of the small temple. ”

"Who is the person of that temple, and who assigned it, do you know?" The old lady almost roared.

"Deng's is Deng's people. I remember clearly the people who served in the small temple around the lord, this name was sent in by the Deng family in Luoyang, and he has been serving the lord for many years. Ning Yue said without hesitation, he was extremely confident in his memory.

"Deng's, Deng's, my Zhou Gong's family treats him well." The old lady muttered, but sat down softly.

"This matter has passed, but the urgent task at the moment is where the lord and the prince are, and the ministers will definitely respect the prince and succeed the prince of Zhou." This was the purpose of Ning Yue's adventure to sneak in, and this time he said it in a hurry.

But I only heard the old lady say slowly, "It's late, it's late." The prince has been invited by the royal family. In this Luoyang City, most of the nobles and families have joined the royal family. ”

Hearing this, Ning Yue, who had been running all night, couldn't help but have his eyes dazzled, his whole body was weak, and he sat on the ground, thinking of coming back to continue to support the prince of Zhou, but he didn't think that the royal family had already calculated, Luoyang and Gongyi attacked at the same time, and all Ning Yue's hopes couldn't help but be shattered. It seems that he has not lost unjustly, there must be a master in the royal family, and his wisdom is not below him.

Ning Yue's ambition disappeared without a trace in an instant, he was a farmer, because he was unwilling to suffer in the field, he studied the scriptures hard, and finally realized that when he had learned something, he went to the first Zhou Weigong, did not want to be favored by the first Zhou Weigong, worship as a doctor, at that time Ning Yue was full of ambition, was preparing to do his best to assist Zhou Weigong, in order to make himself famous among the princes, but last year began to flow unfavorably, first Zhou Weigong was stabbed to death, and then Ning Yue supported the son of the world, which is the current Zhou Gongji Dynasty, I didn't think that Ji Chao was assassinated again under his nose last night, and the father and son were in the same rhythm. However, Ning Yue still did not give up, although he knew that there was little hope, but he still insisted on running back overnight, hoping to support the prince again, but although Gongzhi was not stabbed, he was controlled by the royal family first. I have to make Ning Yue shout in his heart, don't I care? I didn't think that the royal family would hold back until the critical moment to give Zhou Gong a fatal blow, what a lot of patience and wisdom, the confidence in Ning Yue's heart was hit overnight, and he collapsed to the ground weakly.

was in a daze, when he suddenly heard the old lady speak, "Ning Qing's family, how does my husband treat you first?" ”

Hearing the master's mother's question, Ning Yue suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly responded, "The grace of knowing the encounter is always remembered in my heart, and I dare not forget it." ”

"Then how will my son Ji Chao treat you?"

"The grace of trust, gratitude in the heart, dare not slack off."

"Then my husband and my son's great enmity, I also asked my husband to help, and my orphan and widow also asked my husband to take care of it." As she spoke, the old lady stood up, bent down and bowed.

In a panic, Ning Yue hurriedly got up and stepped forward to support him, "Old lady, don't dare to do this." Ning Yue should do his best, but Ning Yue is only alone now, how can he take on this great responsibility? ”

"Definitely. Now that the royal family has recaptured Luoyang, with the spirit and pursuit of the royal family, he will definitely accept Mr., and with his great talent, he will definitely be reused by the royal family. At that time, please don't forget the blood feud between my two generations of Zhou Gong, and don't forget that the common one is still young and needs someone to take care of it. ”

"But every time the minister reads a book, the book says that the loyal minister does not matter the two masters, although a certain person comes to seek wealth and nobility, he does not dare to be ridiculed by the world." Ning Yue was still a little puzzled.

"Sir, that's a mistake. The royal family is the royal family of the world, and I haven't heard of the shore of the land, isn't it the king's minister. Therefore, it is not a matter for Mr. to defect to the royal family. Besides, the second half of the life of the two generations of Zhou Gong and the common life can only rely on Mr., Mr. has the grace of knowledge, why do you have to cherish the feathers? The old lady did not hesitate to speak, and it was evident that the years had not diminished her ability to think, and in such a short time she had thought of the best way.

This sound really reasonable, Ning Yue's face couldn't help but blush slightly, and he hurriedly knelt down and bowed down, "Yue, obey the orders of the master mother!" ”

Seeing that Ning Yue agreed, the old lady couldn't help but show a rare smile on her face, stretched out her hand to help Ning Yue up, and told what happened in Luoyang City yesterday, including the man in black who was unknown to the royal family, and when it came to the current situation in Luoyang City, Ning Yue sighed. "I thought that there were enough people left in the city, but I didn't expect that two groups of people would launch at the same time, which is really not as good as heaven."

The old lady also sighed, "It's really not as good as heaven, my Duke Zhou has been running Luoyang for more than 100 years, and I didn't expect the king to come, so I secretly recruited the Tu family and the Xin family, and your lord trusted them so much." Then there are recruits from the Western Battalion in Luoyang City, and they have surrendered to the royal family one after another, and this noble family in the city is afraid that most of them will also take refuge in the royal family. This is indeed a god who has abandoned my Zhou Gong's lineage, not a human being. ”

"Old lady, please rest assured, the lord has been stabbed, and a certain has eyebrows. And the ancestor was stabbed, and a certain has always remembered it in his heart, and he dare not forget it for a day. There is still something to report to the master's mother, Ji Ban of Gongyi was let go by the minister, and the minister has arranged for someone to send him to the Qi country. ”

The old lady then remembered that Ji Ban, who was not her own concubine, sighed and said, "It's okay, now the old body has no opinion on him, as long as he lives well, it can be regarded as leaving a pulse for my Duke Zhou in the east." ”
