Chapter 165, Separation of Powers and Checks and Balances

Qi Hongtao fell suddenly, even if it has been a period of time, the aftermath of this incident is still up and down, and the recent DPRK is full of restlessness.

Zhou Tianyi is going to travel far away from the court, and Xuhai is a relatively closed place for news, in addition to worrying about neighboring countries taking the opportunity to make trouble, the Wang brothers are also very worried about the situation in the Quartet, "Without Qi Hongtao, these little officials are even more restless." Wang Junruo hummed lightly and took out a stack of secret letters, all of which were copies of the letters exchanged between some courtiers and the fifth watch or the ninth ring in the past month.

"Heh, there are thousands of precautions, and it is difficult to prevent internal thieves." Wang Huangzhi glanced at the letter that was thrown on the table with disdain, in order to build a defense line on the border of the Quartet, they can be said to have done their best, but someone deliberately lured the wolf into the house, "The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the anthill, if they don't teach them a lesson, the foundation of the Quartet may be destroyed in their hands." ”

Zhou Tianyi waved his hand, "What are the five watches and nine winds planning, we haven't figured it out yet, now they will only startle the grass and snakes, keep it, and put a long line to catch a big fish." ”

"But ......"

"It's nothing, my second brother may not be a broad-minded brother, but he is not a mediocre monarch, nor is he a faint monarch, he will not let the courtiers do anything wrong." Zhou Tianyi packed up the secret letters that had been dumped on the table one by one, glanced up at Wang Huangzhi with a worried face, and smiled easily: "Besides, even if I'm not here, aren't there still the third brother and the sixth brother?" What I can do, they can do better than me. ”

Seeing that Wang Huangzhi and Wang Junruo were silent, obviously still having doubts about his words, Zhou Tianyi continued, "My father and emperor reformed the official system back then, not only to clarify the functions of various departments and cultivate substitute talents, but also to disperse the power of the court, so that the courtiers in power coerced and restrained each other. Now that the position of the left minister is vacant, as long as Wang Shukuang, who is the right minister, does not act recklessly, the court and the center are generally stable. ”

When his family was mentioned, Wang Huangzhi and Wang Junruo both pricked up their ears and felt a little uneasy, and the next moment, Zhou Tianyi laughed briskly, "And the 'Wang family' doesn't care about the party management and petty fights in the court at all, and they don't want to see Zhuhua fight again." ”

"Tianyi ......" The eyes of the two brothers have a little more light, the power of the Wang family is overwhelming, as the descendants, they can have whatever they want, but the more they stand on a high place, the more suspicious they are, Zhou Tianyi's trust in the Wang family moved them.

"Okay, okay, don't look at me like this, it's no wonder you're not used to it." Zhou Tianyi coughed lightly and opened the topic, "You have a small banquet at home today, don't you go back, are you going to eat at King Zhao's Mansion?" ”

The Spring Festival banquet of the Wang family is also a small family banquet, the consequences of being late are very serious, Wang Huangzhi and Wang Junruo have their backs in a daze, and they forget the time as soon as they speculate, the two hurriedly said goodbye to Zhou Tianyi, and went home with their tails between their legs.

Zhou Tianyi looked at the panicked backs of the two of them with a smile, turned around and looked at the map of Zhuhua again, his eyes fell on the direction of the Void Sea, when he sacrificed to the temple, all the Zhuhua families would show up, saying that he had no interest in the "Twelve Families", which was impossible.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the concubine told him about several families whose identities had been confirmed, Wang, Qin, Shen, and Chu in Sifang, Feng in Wugen, and Zhao in Jiuhuan. The identity of the Wang family's family is well known to the world, and the Shen family and the Chu family, because of their fate with Shen Buwen and Chu Yan, he was not too surprised, but when he heard that the Qin family was also a Zhuhua family, he was both surprised and felt normal.

He has known Qin Feng for many years, and has been facing Qin Song in the past year, and then he has also seen Qin Wen, the second son of the Qin family, and Qin Huai, the head of the Qin family, their bearing, talent, and courage are on par with the children of the Wang family, and he should have realized that the Qin family is the Zhuhua family......

Zhou Tianyi paced to the door with his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, and the sun of the near afternoon was shining on him, and the whole person felt very warm. Shen Buwen, Chu Yan, and Qin Feng are all friends worthy of his friendship, as the descendants of the family, they will inevitably attend this temple sacrifice, and he is already looking forward to seeing them again.

The news that King Zhao would go to the Void Sea to worship his ancestors on behalf of the monarch came out of the palace on the same day, and at the beginning of the court meeting on the second day, Zhou Tianlei solemnly promulgated this decree and personally put the holy decree in Zhou Tianyi's hands to show his attention.

A day passed, everyone in Beijing and Zhou knew it, three days later, the whole country knew about it, and the families had different attitudes towards His Majesty's will, and they all started their own calculations, but the people who did not know the inside story were cheering, in their hearts, His Royal Highness King Zhao was the most qualified person to worship the ancestors of the Xuanyuan clan on behalf of the entire Quartet.

Approaching the day of departure, Zhou Tianyi's frequency of entering and leaving the palace became significantly higher, and he mostly discussed with Zhou Tianlei alone the distribution of troops on the border during his period in the Void Sea. This is a major event related to the safety of the Quartet, Zhou Tianlei completely put aside his prejudices for the first time to listen to his younger brother's advice, and after discussing everything, he actually had a sense of relief as if he was in a different world.

Compared with the fifth watch, the instability of the Nine Winds made Zhou Tianyi feel more uneasy, Zhou Tianlei handed over the military power of the 500,000 Northwest Army to Zhou Tianyi, and Zhou Tianyi recommended Yue Yichang to serve as the commander of the Northwest Army, and the military power of the 300,000 Southwest Army, which was originally in the hands of the Yue brothers, was in the hands of Zhou Tianhe, who was trusted by both of them, in case of emergency.

At the same time, 10,000 elite soldiers were drawn from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and 20,000 cavalry were drawn from the northwest and southwest armies, led by the general Yue Hengyuan, and stationed on the shore of the Void Sea with Zhou Tianyi, saying that it was to protect King Zhao, and more to deter neighboring countries.

On the first day of the second month, Zhou Tianyi led the army from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to Raocheng, and then parted ways with Yue Hengyuan, who led the army to meet with the 40,000 cavalry who were rushing to the shore of the Void Sea, while Zhou Tianyi and Wang Huangzhi, Wang Junruo and a few attendants hid their whereabouts and went on the road lightly.

After sending Yue Hengyuan away, Zhou Tianyi went to the Wang's Villa on the outskirts of Raocheng, where he met with Wang Huangzhi and Wang Junruo.

"Your Highness, the two young masters of my family have been waiting for you for a long time, please come with me." The housekeeper saluted Zhou Tianyi, led him to the main hall, and then respectfully retired with all the attendants in the front yard.

When Zhou Tianyi saw this, he knew that Wang Huangzhi and Wang Jun had something to discuss with him, so he raised his hand and sent Guanghan to retreat first.

"So serious, what's going on?" As soon as Zhou Tianyi entered the room, he felt that the atmosphere was not right, and the Wang brothers stood straight and solemn, both of them looked at him seriously and sincerely.

"Your Highness." Wang Huangzhi did not call Zhou Tianyi by name, but changed the rules and regulations to an honorific title, looked at his younger brother, and the two stepped forward and saluted Zhou Tianyi, "The Weilong Wang family is willing to do everything possible to help His Highness." ”

"You ......" Zhou Tianyi subconsciously wanted to stop them from kneeling on his knees, but his hand stretched out in mid-air and stopped, the Wang family bowed his head and made such a big salute, it must be a deliberate decision of the whole clan, only by accepting it calmly, he did not feel that he was ashamed of his sincerity and loyalty to them, "Get up." After finishing the salute, Zhou Tianyi hurriedly stepped forward to help the two of them up, smiling deeply and sighing deeply.

After getting up, the Wang brothers returned to normal, patting Zhou Tianyi's shoulder left and right, and they smiled easily, "It's just a formality, Tianyi, you don't have to think too much." Let's go, we're all set, let's go. ”

The Void Sea is in the west of the Quartet, with the north being the border of the Nine Circles and the south being the border of the Five Watches.

Zhou Tianyi and his entourage drove for seven days, and finally arrived at the shore of the Void Sea on the eighth day of the second month, it was already evening, and several people decided to rest in the nearby town for a night, and set off into the Void Sea early the next morning.

"Baihuaxi?" The town was very quiet at night, Zhou Tianyi randomly chose an inn that looked relatively clean and comfortable and pushed the door in, as soon as the exquisite wooden door opened and closed, there was no light inside, "Bright, Junruo, don't come in." Obviously there was only one door, but Zhou Tianyi's voice was extremely ethereal, and soon, that ethereal sound also melted into the quiet and abnormal night, and there was no movement.

"Skylight!" Wang Junruo's expression was nervous, and he was about to break the door with his sword, but Wang Huangzhi on the side held his hand, "Big brother, what are you doing?" Wang Jun was puzzled, and when he saw his brother smiling at the door, he didn't look worried at all, he eased his mind, and was still confused, "Big brother, what's going on, Tianyi ...... him"

"Jun Ruo, don't be impatient, Tianyi will be fine." Wang Huangzhi took a few steps back, looked at the entire inn from the top to the bottom, and said with a leisurely smile: "Tianyi has stepped into the formation, he can only move forward, not backward, let's wait here for him to come out." As he spoke, he looked at Guang Han, who still had the urge to break the door, "Guard Han, you have followed Tianyi on the battlefield for many years, you should know that if you forcibly dismantle the formation outside, the people inside will be more dangerous." He said it to Guang Han, and it was also said to Zhou Tianyi's hidden guards.

Reminded by Wang Huangyi, Wang Junruo quickly calmed down, he walked around the inn, he couldn't see the clue, the bright fragrance in the house overflowed, he was dizzy for a while and immediately covered his mouth and nose to avoid, "Big brother, is this the 'Heartless Ecstasy Array'?" ”

"Yes, Chu's 'Heartless Ecstasy Array', it's the first time I've seen it." Wang Huangzhi nodded, turned around and popped out the folding fan in the dark, there was no sound of the jade fan falling to the ground, it was caught by someone, the smile on Wang Huangzhi's face remained unchanged, just waiting for the person in the dark to come out by himself.

"Carving insect skills, the bright son smiled." Chu Yan first walked out of the shadows and appeared under the moonlight, followed by Qin Feng and Qin Song, who were also smiling briskly, Chu Yan bowed his hand to greet the two of the Wang family, and then took himself out of the array, "The Chu family has recognized the lord, this array...... My cousin forced me to pose. With that, he took a step to the side, leaving the middle position to Qin Feng.

"Cousin, cousin, obviously you are the most energetic when you are posing, why did my eldest brother force you!" Qin Song simply stood in the position that Chu Yan had given up, raised his head and looked sideways, and directly pierced Chu Yan's excuse.

"You know, the Qin clan also has to go through the motions." Qin Feng stopped the quarrel between his younger brothers and sisters, and after explaining to the Wang brothers, he bowed and apologized to Zhou Tianyi's attendants, "Your Highness will not have to worry about his life in the array, it is just that he has experienced some human warmth, and he will taste all the seven emotions and six desires, and he will come out, at most, it will not exceed one day and one night." ”
