Chapter 834: Blank Copy of the Book of Life and Death (14)
The morning of the second day when Ding Yun became the imperial concubine.
King Ning left a stand-in to pretend to be himself, and then he himself left the imperial capital through secret channels and went straight to Luoyang, the capital of the west.
The area of the Great Zhou Dynasty is too large, so in addition to the imperial capital, there are also four sides of the capital, which are located in the sub-center of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the square position, to be precise, the imperial capital is located in the center of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Because territory is not guaranteed to be a perfect circle or a square, the so-called central location, that is, about the center, is not an absolute geographical center.
And these four escorts have a very high status.
They could form small local courts.
Yes, the four major escorts of the Great Zhou Dynasty were all qualified to form a small local court and govern government affairs.
Many remote areas and economically underdeveloped areas have been included in the management scope of the capital, and the imperial capital of these places does not pay much attention to it, so many matters are basically allowed to be handled by the kings of the capital themselves, only when there is a major event such as foreign invasion, natural disasters or civil unrest.
Only then can you accompany the capital to go to the imperial capital.
The imperial capital will also intervene in the investigation.
Help is given to those who need it, if it is a civil unrest caused by some officials in the small court of Peidu.
Naturally, they will also be strictly scrutinized and brought to justice.
The four major peidus are listed in the four directions, the eastern capital Huaihai County is guarded by the Zhendong Wang, the southern capital Minyang County is guarded by the Zhennan Wang, the northern capital Jihuai County is guarded by the Zhenbei Wang, and the western capital Luoyang County is guarded by the Zhenxi Wang.
Their territory is the county where the capital is located.
However, these four kings are not hereditary.
All the imperial clans that have reached the level of martial saints are eligible to compete for the position of these four kings, whether it is a descendant or a side branch, no matter how thin the bloodline is, as long as it is an imperial clan with the surname Zhou, it is qualified to compete, the winner is the king, and the loser loses everything, and even death will not be reprimanded.
Don't let outsiders help you when you take on challenges.
The two faced off directly on the stage.
Although it was cruel, this move did inspire to a certain extent the spirit of self-confidence, self-confidence, hard work, and courage to climb the peak of martial arts for those ordinary emperors who were not qualified to inherit the throne and whose descendants were about to become commoners.
Give them a chance to compete for jobs.
It is equivalent to achieving a certain class circulation within the imperial family, so that some declining imperial clans will not be directly salted and rotten because they have no possibility of improving their status.
may be because the imperial capital has always maintained relatively strong forces and means, and these four powerful princes themselves have to work hard to cultivate to prevent themselves from being pulled down by others, so these four major escorts and several generations of powerful princes have been quite stable since the founding of the country for more than 600 years.
Until more than ten years ago, the imperial capital forced the palace.
After the end of the war, the strength of the imperial capital was greatly reduced, and the control of the four major escort capitals was relatively weakened.
Over the years, although the four escorts have maintained their apparent stability and respect, it is definitely impossible to say that they have no ideas, after all, many people are not satisfied.
When a conscientious, frightened, and may be killed by others at any time, how can it be comfortable to be the lord of the imperial dynasty, since the four powerful princes of the imperial dynasty can compete for posts, so why can't the emperor?
Who is not a descendant of the founding fathers!
Of course, this is just the speculation of some clan princes, as for whether this is the case, it is hard to say, after all, the four powerful princes are now behaving quite peacefully.
The news of the establishment of the emperor and the princess reached them.
None of them went up to stop it.
However, through Xu Taiwei, the martial saint eunuch who was urgently sent out of the imperial capital by him, King Ning still investigated the King of Zhenxi in Luoyang County very clearly, and he was definitely not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface, not only cultivated a batch of private soldiers far beyond the specifications in private, but also contacted a lot of declining imperial clans who belonged to the side branches, but their strength was definitely not weak.
It seems that they have reached some kind of cooperation agreement.
After discovering these circumstances, King Ning immediately had a sense of joy to seize the handle of the King of Zhenxi, and he couldn't wait to secretly rush to Luoyang County, and after meeting with the martial saint Xu Taiwei, he asked Xu Taiwei to take his token and negotiate confidential matters with the King of Zhenxi on his behalf.
In fact, it is a matter of negotiating the palace of Jingnan.
There is no way, the secret treasure in his hand can't support him in the imperial capital, and he has a real-time call with Xu Taiwei who is far away in Luoyang County, and the matter of discussing Jingjing, which is close to rebellion, is naturally known by fewer people, and when discussing, you can't run back and forth several times to deliver news on a single issue, which will delay time and be easy to leak.
In order to realize your dreams as soon as possible.
He could only take a certain risk and come to Luoyang County in person, and then use the secret treasure to contact Xu Taiwei privately and remotely command Xu Taiwei to negotiate with the king of Zhenxi.
Naturally, the meeting was a matter of course.
and secret negotiations.
Although Xu Taiwei was communicating with King Zhenxi during the whole process, in fact, Xu Taiwei himself had no idea, he just relied purely on the secret treasure, while passing on what King Zhenxi said to King Ning, while repeating King Ning's words and communicating with King Zhenxi, at most it was a humanoid phone.
A proper tool man.
And King Ning's approximate meaning is that Emperor Qianyu's move to establish the emperor's concubine is purely selfish, disregarding the people of the world, and treating the entire Great Zhou Dynasty as a thing of his family, which is very hateful, if you don't stop it quickly.
The future will inevitably be chaotic.
I hope we can cooperate with each other for a win-win situation.
Finally, he also specially asked Xu Taiwei to say that if he or his heirs could successfully ascend the throne as emperor, he could swear to ensure that the throne of the king of Zhenxi would be hereditary, and that the current very unreasonable system of competition for posts would be abolished, so that he would not be in danger of being killed.
"King Ning, are you too self-righteous and insincere, do you think this thing is the communication jade talisman that this king has never seen or what's wrong, you don't even have the courage to come over in person to discuss this matter with me face-to-face, and you are embarrassed to mention what you are willing to do if you ascend the throne.
Do you think I've succeeded?
Can you still get the benefits you promised?
And you just mention how I can help you, why don't you mention how much strength you can show yourself, how much help you can give me? Am I stupid, or are you stupid! ”
King Zhenxi was really laughing at this time, while sarcastic, it was ridiculous, a prince who had no real power in his hands, no territory, at most was closer to Emperor Qianyu's blood, actually came to cooperate with him, and the cooperation conditions were still to help him ascend the throne and then give benefits, this trick is very difficult to fool children.
It's really worthy of being a waste who has been kept in captivity in the imperial capital since birth, and is not allowed to go out, which is really ridiculous.
