Chapter 2 The disappearance of the prince of the Western Zhou Kingdom

After the courtiers retreated, Shen Zhitang said to Situ Mo: "What Lord Situ just hinted at in the court is that people with ulterior motives want to provoke a war between Southern Xinjiang and Western Zhou?"

Situ Mo suddenly bowed to Zhou Zhi before replying: "Lord Shen, don't worry, listen to me slowly, presumably my civil strife is just stable, and everyone knows the cowardice of the saint today!" ”

Shen Zhitang and Zhou Zhi glanced at each other, and both nodded at Situ Mo and said, "I have indeed heard of this matter."

Situ Mo continued: "The civil strife in the Western Zhou Dynasty should start from twenty-two years ago, and here I first ask the emperor of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom to forgive the ministers for their innocence."

Twenty-two years ago, there was also a civil strife in the southern Xinjiang country, and Zhou Zhi probably guessed what Situ Mo was going to tell and replied: "It's you, me, and Zhitang here, just say what you want to say!" ”

Situ Mo gave a thank you to Zhou Zhi and slowly said: "Twenty-two years ago, Weichen had just obtained his fame, and he worshiped under the ancestor Lu Song, and I also heard that not only the Western Zhou Kingdom, but also your country and the Beifeng Kingdom also had a large-scale civil strife in that year."

Shen Zhitang exclaimed: "Beifeng also had civil strife?"

Situ Mo nodded and continued: "The Northern Feng Kingdom has always paid the most attention to the inheritance of bloodline, and the military power is not directly controlled by the emperor, but taken over by the direct descendants of the same line as the emperor, so the civil strife at that time was not very big, and it quickly subsided, and Emperor Li Hong of your country forced his father to abdicate after defeating his brother~"

Shen Zhitang didn't expect the secret history of China to be said so bluntly by Situ Mo, and coldly reminded: "Lord Situ, please be careful"

Zhou Zhi waved his hand at Shen Zhitang and said, "It's okay, Lord Situ, please continue"

Situ Mo observed the expression on Zhou Zhi's face, and saw that there was indeed nothing abnormal before he continued: "And twenty-two years ago, Emperor Su Ze of our country, in his later years, was not only extravagant, but also suspicious, and killed all his sons, so that after his death, there was no one to inherit the throne, and the imperial family of the Western Zhou Kingdom fought for power for twenty years."

Normally, most of this kind of royal secrets will not be talked about to the outside world, but this Situ Mo actually took the initiative to talk about this matter in front of the emperors of other countries, Zhou Zhi glanced at Situ Mo suspiciously, and then exchanged glances with Shen Zhitang

I only heard Situ Mo continue: "Twenty-two years ago, I didn't know what happened to the host country, but within this year, there was civil strife in Western Zhou, Southern Xinjiang, and Northern Feng at the same time, and in the end, the emperor was changed."

Shen Zhitang glanced at Zhou Zhi, and after getting Zhou Zhi's approval, he asked, "What does Lord Situ mean, isn't this a coincidence?"

Situ Mo replied: "How can things in the world be coincidental, it's just that someone did it intentionally, such as our country's former emperor Su Ze, even if he is mediocre, he won't leave behind!" ”

Twenty-two years ago, Shen Zhitang was still an official, and he didn't know a lot of things, listening to Situ Mo's story, he remembered that after Li Hong died eight years ago, the crown prince Li Shihe died after less than a year of reign, and passed on the throne to Li Xingcheng, the son of Zhou Zhi, and then Li Shihe's brother Li Shizhang's intention to raise troops was wiped out

Zhou Zhi saw that Shen Zhitang was pondering and asked, "Then according to Lord Situ, it was the host country that made a move?"

Situ Mo stroked his beard and replied: "In this matter, Weichen does not dare to assert that the host country has been hidden for a hundred years and will not use this to make a comeback, but Weichen has also discovered a particularly interesting thing in recent years."

Zhou Zhi was shocked: "Oh! ”

Situ Mo said: "That is the imperial inheritance of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Southern Xinjiang, and Beifeng, the Western Zhou Dynasty is now looking for an heir from the collateral bloodline, and your country is now only an eight-year-old prince, the land of Beifeng is opposite to the Southern Xinjiang State, I am afraid that the Southern Xinjiang Emperor does not know, and the Northern Feng State is now in charge of the military power is not the younger brother of the Beifeng Emperor, but the cousin, they are now competing for military power"

Shen Zhitang and Zhou Zhi looked at each other and said, "Lord Situ is here in Southern Xinjiang for this matter?"

"Exactly!"

Situ Mo has the talent of a prime minister, if he just sent a large army to suppress the Western Zhou State for the sake of the Southern Xinjiang State, he would bring the prince of a country to sue for peace, it would be absolutely impossible

Shen Zhitang said: "What about the six princes of your country?"

Situ Mo's expression changed abruptly, and he looked at the west and said sadly: "It's just a plan to lead the snake out of the hole."

"Why doesn't Lord Situ go to Beifeng Kingdom?"

"The emperor of Beifeng State is a person with a strong temperament, and this matter is not in harmony with him, and now the emperor of your country can calm the court, Lord Shen is wise, and only Lord Shen can do this alone."

Shen Zhitang bowed to Situ Mo and replied, "Lord Situ is too praised."

Then Situ Moyou bowed to Zhou Zhi and said: "This matter is related to the war of the Three Kingdoms, if it is not handled well, the war of the Three Kingdoms will start soon, and the people of the Three Kingdoms will suffer at that time, and the emperor of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom is invited to consider it carefully."

Zhou Zhi had already considered it in his heart, and immediately made a will

In the academy in Zhongluan City, Li Zhilian stood in the kitchen thinking about what Aunt Lin said, and there was silence in the room

The old man coughed at the kitchen door, pushed the door and entered, "What are you doing here?" ”

Li Zhilian couldn't help but tremble, couldn't it be that what she had just overheard in the bushes was discovered by Mr. Wang? "Li'er is helping Aunt Lin to add fire, but Mr. Wang is in trouble?"

Facing Li Zhilian's extremely shallow eyes, the black mole in the pupil was not handsome, which made Mr. Wang's legs bend slightly

Mr. Wang stabilized his figure and said, "It's good to go to Xilin City in the southern Xinjiang country in a few days!" ”

Li Zhipian said: "Li'er is a guilty body, how can she enter and leave the border of southern Xinjiang at will"

Mr. Wang nodded and said: "Five years ago, when Zhou Zhi ascended the throne, he gave amnesty to the world, and now you are no longer considered guilty" The old man's eagle-like eyes stared at Li Zhilian, who was less than his shoulder, and said: "That's it~ The old man will arrange a new identity for you, you go to Xilin City and wait for a person named Shen Zhitang to stay by his side"

Li Zhilian looked at Aunt Lin who was chopping vegetables and replied: "Then Aunt Lin~ But follow Li'er"

Aunt Lin's face turned pale, and the hand holding the knife couldn't help but tremble, and she accidentally cut her hand

Mr. Wang walked up to Aunt Lin, took out a white and flawless silk silk from his arms and said, "Aunt Lin is old and has difficulty moving, so stay here!" ”

Cold sweat slid down from the broken hair on Li Zhilian's forehead, and she trembled like chaff all over, and it wasn't until Mr. Wang left that she sat down on the ground

Aunt Lin knew that she had escaped, so she helped Li Zhipian and said, "If the old slave remembers well, this is the first time the girl has gone far away!" Patting the dust on Li Zhilian's body, he continued: "The girl is going, be careful in everything, if you can, don't come back to this place."

Li Zhilian hugged the withered old woman in front of her, this is the only warmth of her soul in the past seven years, how to say let it go: "Aunt Lin, you cultivate well here, wait for Li'er to come back"

Aunt Lin sighed and said, "Girl, why is this so difficult?"
