Although Chai Rong lived a few days longer than Zheng Zhiwei's original estimate, this did not affect the crossing team that had been preparing since the end of April, especially after learning about the "Black Wood Proverbs" incident, the crossing team stepped up the monitoring and infiltration of all parties in the Later Zhou court while implementing the "Overlord Operation", so as to keep abreast of the other party's movements.

The so-called "Kuroki Proverbs" event has many similarities with the stories related to the legends of previous lives. First of all, the wooden sign is written with the words "Check to be the Son of Heaven"; Secondly, the wooden plaques were all packed in a cloth bag, mixed with a pile of pieces waiting for Chai Rong's approval, and it was impossible to find out who put them in; Third, the wooden plaques all appeared in front of Chai Rong at the moment when Chai Rong was seriously ill and the Later Zhou court was facing major changes; Fourth, after Chai Rong saw this wooden plaque, he immediately attracted his attention, and began to suspect and suspect his brother-in-law Zhang Yongde, and had the idea of cutting his military power and dismissing his military position.

However, unlike in the history of the previous life, Chai Rong dismissed Zhang Yongde from the post of inspection in front of the palace shortly after the appearance of the "Black Wood Proverb", seized his military power, and appointed Zhao Kuangyin, who he had always trusted very much and believed that he was very loyal to him, to take over the position of the capital inspection, and thus provided a good foundation and conditions for the other party to launch the "Chen Qiao Mutiny" and realize the "yellow robe plus body", in this time and space, Chai Rong did not remove Zhang Yongde's official position as the former capital inspection, nor did he deprive him of his military power. Rather, just as the black wooden card never appeared, it continued to maintain the status quo of the relative balance of all parties in the Later Zhou court. The reason for this situation is that there is a Shili in this time and space that is strong enough to pose a substantial and deadly threat to the Later Zhou Dynasty and his Chai clan at any time, and second, because this time and space has Lin Xiaoyu by Chai Rong's side, a noble concubine who has the ability to exert some influence on Chai Rong's many judgments and decisions.

On the 14th day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar in the eighth year of Xiande, after recuperating in bed for more than half a month, Chai Rong felt that his illness seemed to improve slightly, so he ordered someone to take the backlog of all parties that he could not decide during the period when he was bedridden and could not take care of the government to the hospital bed to check and review.

Just when Chai Rong had been reviewing the folds for about half an hour, feeling a little tired, and was about to rest for a while, a cloth bag with a very ordinary texture pressed under several unapproved folds caught his attention. Although the ministers performed the work, there were special secret folds sealed in wooden boxes, and there were also suggestions wrapped in brocade bags to show that their suggestions were considered clever tricks, but it was the first time that they had seen a very ordinary cloth bag to hold the folds, and it was no wonder that Chai Rong was interested in it, and regardless of his physical fatigue, he directly pulled this ordinary cloth bag out of a pile of folds and opened it to take a look.

If Chai Rong opened the cloth bag with confusion and curiosity, then when he saw the words written on the one-foot-long and three-inch-wide black wooden plaque contained in the cloth bag, his expression immediately became solemn.

"Check to be the Son of Heaven" -- these five ancient seal characters on the black wooden plaque are obviously a proverb. Moreover, this sentence is so simple and straightforward, even a young child who has just become literate can understand the meaning, how could Chai Rong, as the emperor of the Great Zhou, not understand what this sentence means.

If an ordinary flat-headed person sees such a black wooden card, those who don't know the words are likely to throw it directly into the stove when the firewood is burned, and those who know the words may be told to the people around them as a mysterious story, or they may take it to the powerful people they think are suitable to ask for merit and reward, and when there is no way to do it, they will leave it behind and don't think about it again. If the brothers of the crossing team saw such a black wooden plaque, they might use it to compare the stories of this era that they had heard in their previous lives, or they might scoff at this superstitious and artificially heavy thing, and throw it away like garbage. But Chai Rong is neither an ordinary ordinary person, nor is he a member of the crossing team who doesn't take Wei Wei seriously at all and doesn't believe it at all. He is the emperor, the emperor who believes in the mandate of heaven, the emperor who is very familiar with the historical process of the past five generations, the emperor who inherited the country from his adoptive father who "wore the yellow flag", "raised troops into Beijing", and "ascended the throne and sat in the palace", and he is the emperor who is very worried about the future of his own death and leaving his young son in charge. Therefore, Chai Rong attached great importance to the words of the weft on this black wooden card, and immediately held it in his hand up and down, before and after, and carefully observed it, hoping to find more warnings from the above in addition to the words of the five-character weft.

It's just that to Chai Rong's disappointment, although the black wooden plaque he is holding in his hand looks very quaint, it gives people a sense of history. But, other than that, it's no different from a regular wooden card. Moreover, in addition to the five words "check to be the Son of Heaven" on the wooden card, there is no handwriting or pattern, and it seems impossible to judge who wants to be the Son of Heaven through this wooden card. However, although the words on the black wooden card were a little vague, Chai Rong was relieved when he thought about it - as the so-called "heavenly opportunity cannot be revealed", it is already a great favor for God to provide such a black wooden card for himself to warn, how can he ask for more favors.

Although when he just saw this black wood card, Chai Rong immediately had the idea of deposing the current palace secretary to check Zhang Yongde. But after all, the other party is his brother-in-law, and if he really wants to cut his military power, he always needs to be carefully considered. Second, Zhang Yongde has always been loyal to himself and the imperial court, and has never shown any signs of rebellion, and in such a sensitive period now, if he is cut off from his military post without any reason, he is afraid that it will cause panic and uneasiness among the ministers of the DPRK and China. Therefore, after holding the black wooden card and looking at it carefully for a long time, Chai Rong finally gave up the idea of immediately ordering his brother-in-law's military position. He placed the black wooden tablet under his pillow along with the bag containing it, and instructed his henchmen and eunuchs to secretly inquire about all the eunuchs who might have come into contact with this group of twists and turns that day, to determine whether there were human factors in the appearance of this black wooden tablet. While insisting on reading the rest of the recitals, he then lay down to rest again.

kept reviewing the recitals for an hour, which was quite painful and physically exhausting for Chai Rong, who had not yet recovered from his illness. It's just that although he feels very tired at this time and wants to take a good rest, the five words "check and be the son of heaven" on the black wood card keep appearing in his mind, so that he can't relax at all. Seeing that he couldn't rest, Chai Rong simply stopped lying down, but asked the chamberlain to help him up, half-leaned on the bed, and continued to ponder the black wooden plaque that upset him and the words on it.

It's just that the black wood card is still the same black wood card, and the words on it are still those five words, but it is obviously impossible for Chai Rong to make any new discoveries after half an hour of studying the black wood card just now. Just when Chai Rongwei couldn't determine whether the object of Yu Wei's words was Zhang Yongde, the eunuch who was waiting outside the palace came in to report: "The official's family, the concubine Niangniang has come to serve dinner." ”
