Memories of King Zhou You (I)
In fact, King Zhou You didn't know why he had to believe this little girl, he had already understood that he was just a puppet when he could remember, and all their power was in the hands of the obstruction of various races, and their elders had more power than this king to decide the power and affairs of this country.
Although he was dissatisfied with this, King Zhou You also understood that he had no power to change this, unless he grew up to have the ability to change all this, King Zhou You's father actually died a long time ago, and others said that his father was obsessed with power and beauty, and then he became like this.
But King Zhou You knew in his heart that the truth was not like this, they were just a part of the surface they saw. His father endured humiliation for many years, but was wiped out in an instant by the obstruction forces of various races, and he understood all his father's feelings at that time. Maybe it was really pretending to be, but in the end, it became a real obsession with beauty and power, and no longer cared about the life and death of the people.
Of course, the little King Zhou You understood why his father became like this, although he expressed great hatred, but he was powerless to prevent all this from happening, he was still too young at that time, too young to support the responsibilities given by a country. So he became the next monarch.
I don't know if it's because of sarcasm, or because he seems to be very well-behaved, so they don't have any resistance to what he did, King Zhou You actually said that he was very happy at this time, because he felt that his regime was back. But when he really went to carry out a task, he found that all the officials were very prevaricated.
Either when the region came down, or when the main backbone of the relevant person in charge arrived, he understood that maybe he was sitting on this throne just because it was convenient to control or just because he was young, and they had always held this regime in their hands, even if it was temporarily held by him, they had countless ways to take back what they wanted.
For them, this right to symbolize royal power is just a toy in the palm of their hands, if they are happy, they must be willing to play with King Zhou You, if they are unhappy, then take it back, King Zhou You can't say a word again. King Zhou You expressed great dissatisfaction with the current situation.
Although he is indeed not as intelligent as his ancestors, or decisively decisive, as a son of the royal family, how could King Zhou You, who holds the divine power in his hands, give it to others, although they don't have much resistance to this matter, and even hate the power on this throne.
But no matter how much you hate it, you don't like it, and you understand that this thing belongs to you, how can you give it to someone else? The two of them were so embarrassed, and they also thought of replacing such a disobedient minister of King Zhou You, but it was clear that they had thrown the royal power in their hands to King Zhou You like a toy, and this guy also showed his face in front of the people.
So there is a very big embarrassment, if you replace a person at will, then Zhou Youwang will definitely not be able to ask for it. But this person is also very good at brushing favorability, which makes people not suspicious, which is a very unpleasant thing.
What they want is a puppet, not a wise monarch, in their eyes, the monarch in their eyes is not as good as an obedient puppet, they have already occupied the pinnacle of this world, and if they hand over the royal power in their hands to others, then these old foxes are also unwilling. After thinking about it, there was no bigger way to go to these inheritances in the court, so someone came up with an idea and found a person who was particularly similar to King Zhou You, and asked him to disguise himself a little and pretend to be King Zhou You.
As for this real King Zhou You, they said that there was no pressure at all, the big deal was to tie it up in the palace, and if it couldn't get out, there were many underground palaces in this palace, so it was a big deal to choose a better one, and it would be okay to lock him in. The life or death of King Zhou You has never been in their consideration, because they have violated the so-called military power of this dynasty, and there is no greater revenge, so what can they be afraid of?
Zhou Youwang, this guy really didn't like them, since he had given him everything in his hand like a toy, he naturally wanted him to be an obedient puppet and give orders for himself, but this guy was very arrogant and wanted to take it back, so he couldn't blame them for suppressing him. But this guy is really good at brushing up on favorability, so they don't recommend finding someone who looks the same as him to inherit his favorability.
For this matter, there is no pressure on the ministers to do it at all, after all, who doesn't have a two-way stand-in with himself, although the Son of Heaven is said to be cowardly in this era, but their old opponents are all mixed in it, if there is no stand-in, then they don't dare to go out shopping at all, okay? Either way, this stand-in can help you escape the eyes of your enemies.
As a result, this unspoken rule was also hidden under the constant cover-up and ambition of the princes. But if this matter is applied to King Zhou You, then it will be much more interesting, and a very obedient puppet of himself is naturally willing to do this. Because as a puppet, they just need to listen well, and their own words will be fine, and the rest don't have to worry too much.
After all, the puppets are not members of the royal family, they are very satisfied with this matter, they are just giving orders, and they can have such good treatment, how can they not, they are poor children, they are no different from surprises for this matter, they can enjoy the treatment of the king, and then follow their orders, what is not to do things?
They are not good at this kind of thing in the first place, and they have no intention of fighting at all, so aren't both parties satisfied? The reason why King Zhou You is disobedient is just because he is a child of the royal family, and he has a great rejection of this matter, but if he changes someone, won't he not reject it?
So under the acquiescence and consent of all ministers, there is an unspoken rule that is not famous, and it has also become an important open rule above the court. Zheng Dacheng can unscrupulously give orders to the fake King Zhou You above the court. And this fake King Zhou You will never resist, they enjoy the same treatment as a king, and it is a beautiful thing that these things don't have to worry about themselves.
But this was the beginning of a nightmare for King Zhou You, he was locked in a dungeon by others and there was no daylight, even if one or two palace maids sympathized with him and were willing to give him a little more food, he would be moved to cry bitterly. It was pitiful to be like this as a king, but on the second day the maids or eunuchs who had given him more food or sympathized with him died quietly.
So these eunuchs and palace maids also understood, although this has been locked up in the dungeon, but those big people outside have been staring, maybe they were photographed here to test their loyalty to them, if they are not faithful, I am afraid they will be killed. So gradually, no one was willing to sympathize with this King of Zhou You, even if he was bullied so badly by those powerful ministers, he didn't dare to say a word.
Because these eunuchs and palace maids all understood that if they interceded for him, then they would definitely die. In fact, people may be selfish in the end, because they always think about their own safety before choosing their lives. If your own safety is really threatened, then there must be no one to help.
Even if they showed great pity for King Zhou You's Dai Yu, and even moved their hearts of compassion, maybe one or two palace maids would still think about how to save him, but there were not many of them who really implemented it, because human beings can never put aside their own problems when their lives are in danger.
For this, the ministers are also very relieved. These guys are already old foxes who have been galloping in the court for decades, how can they not see this kind of thing, maybe this kid really makes those eunuchs and palace maids feel distressed, but under such strict supervision, what kind of situation is King Zhou You? What do you eat every day? And what did you do? These guys are all clear, otherwise they wouldn't dare to put the fake King Zhou You on top of the court so much.
Maybe there are indeed one or two centers, but as long as there are not many people, it is not difficult to deal with them, and the big deal is not a matter of a knife and a human life. Plenipotentiary said that although they said that they did not deal with each other, and even built for each other's interests, if they encountered such problems, then they must be extremely united.
This loyal reserver may indeed be tempted, but as long as they use all their strength, it is still very easy to intercept and kill someone. The princes have already divided up most of the power of this country, and even if they are martial artists, there will not be two more by the side of King Zhou You, and they are also spies planted by themselves.
I'm not afraid of what kind of waves this guy Zhou Youwang can turn over at all. King Zhou You actually knew all this in his heart, but he still didn't want to say more, maybe he already understood his situation.
If you understand your situation, then there must be a reward. So King Zhou You got treatment similar to that of a prince. Let their treatment show that they are very satisfied with King Zhou You's performance during this time. At the same time, he also told Zhou Youwang that he had actually been staring, and asked him not to play tricks.
