King Zhou Xiao straightened up and asked, "What's the wonder?" ”

"According to this image, it should be a great omen, a son of destiny was born in the world, and ruined the foundation of my king Wen. But according to this hexagram, it is the former murder and the latter auspicious, although the Great Zhou Sheji was damaged, but with the support of the auxiliary national pillars, it will eventually turn the corner. ”

"What is the interpretation of the dream of the lonely king?"

"Don't dare to deceive the king, the golden dragon is in a dream, which should be a sign of the birth of this son."

"Could it be that this son has been born in this pickaxe capital?"

The old chamberlain next to the throne leaned over and whispered something, King Zhou Xiao's face sank, and he turned his face and asked Zhou Gongding: "Nephew Wang, Gongzie's wife just gave birth to a son two hours ago, do you know?" ”

Zhou Gongding's body was shocked, and he secretly complained in his heart. Every time King Zhou called him "Wang Nephew", he often asked him to do something difficult. In terms of generation, King Xiao of Zhou is indeed his uncle, and his wife Jiang is the daughter of the Marquis of Qi and the niece of Queen Xiao. With this layer of in-law relationship, it is no wonder that everyone regards him as a confidant of King Xiao.

"The minister has never heard of this." Zhou Gongding replied honestly and unceremoniously.

King Zhou Xiao looked at the window that was shivering by the wind, and said to himself: "The wind and rain are like obscurity, and the false destiny is coming with the wind and rain, what a big formation!" ”

He suddenly stood up and paced a few steps beside the throne, and fixed himself and said to Zhou Gong behind him, "Don't stay here!" ”

Zhou Gongji gasped and hurriedly bowed to the ground: "The king is gracious, after all, it is the blood of the first king, and you have also made an oath in front of the spirit of the first king in front of the princes of the world------

"Don't work for the king's nephew to remind!" King Zhou Xiao flicked his sleeves angrily: "King Gu will not forget his oath, otherwise he would not have left Ji Xie in this pickaxe capital, and he would have been driven away from the barbarian land, and he would never be able to return to Beijing." ”

He looked at Zhou Gongding's pale face, and said with a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, King Gu is not a person who is greedy for the throne, and the throne is just to consolidate the country for my surname Ji, and the meeting will be behind King Yi." It's just that this son's destiny is not conducive to Zhou, so he has to make this decision! ”

Ji Dingjing was frightened, but made up his mind. This errand can't be taken alive or dead, not to mention the infamy of killing the flesh and blood of the first king, if King Xiao really keeps his oath in the future and returns the throne to Ji Xie, he will have a blood feud with the new king. This thing has to be thrown out!

Ji Ding thought about it for a while, and said: "The minister understands the king's painstaking efforts, but it is not appropriate to hand over this matter to the minister." The relationship between the minister and the king is quite close, and if the minister handles this matter, the king will inevitably be infamous and inseparable. It's better to ------ it is more appropriate to hand it over to Zhaogong. ”

King Zhou Xiao's eyes flashed: "If it weren't for Aiqing's reminder, King Gu would have almost done something stupid." Tomorrow morning, the public will be summoned to the palace to see you! ”

At dusk in the Zhaoguo Mansion, the people were preparing dinner, and the air was filled with depression and confusion, which made people feel suffocated. The master has locked himself in the study since he returned from the morning dynasty and has not even eaten lunch. The old servants all know that only by doing all kinds of difficult things can they worry about the master.

"Squeak-", the door to the study opened. Immediately afterwards, a low voice of reprimand came from the room: "I said that I don't need to send food, I won't eat!" ”

"Father!" A picturesque teenager pushed the door open, holding a wooden food box in his hand, and he looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old.

Seeing that it was the eldest son who had always relied on, Zhao Gongchang breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "That's it, then put it down, I'll eat it later, so as not to worry about your mother!" ”

Zhao Gong is over 30 years old, which is the time of prime of life. He has a round face and a sparse beard, and he looks kind. The eldest son, Ji Hu, whose name is Mu, is quite similar to his father's eyebrows and eyes, but his eyes are sharp and his face is thin, far from being as soft as his father.

"If the father has any difficulties, you can tell one or two, maybe the child can help think about the staff, but I don't know." Ji Hu put down the food box and said.

"What do you know about the big things in the DPRK and China?"

"Father, the son has passed the age of tying his hair, he can go into battle to kill the enemy, and he can also enter the court to draw strategies. Is the husband ambitious at an old age? What's more, my father didn't say anything, so how could he know that the tiger didn't understand? ”

Seeing the sparkle in his son's eyes, Zhaogong was very relieved: "Well, everyone in the Public School Department praises you as a prodigy, so I will discuss this matter with you, which can be regarded as an experience." Do you know that Mrs. Fanji gave birth to a son last night? ”

Ji Hu's white face flushed slightly: "Father, from the sister-in-law's childbirth, the mother knows, how can the child inquire about the woman's childbirth?" ”

"However, the king fell into a dream last night, and the divination said that a son of destiny would be born, which was not conducive to the Great Zhou Sheji. So we must get rid of this to prevent future troubles. ”

"Should this hexagram be on the son of his wife?" Ji Hu looked stunned: "A newborn baby, how can it be unfavorable to Zhou?" Moreover, he is the son of Gongzi Xie, the grandson of King Xianyi, how can the king do such an unrighteous thing? ”

"Be careful!" Zhaogong warned his son in a deep voice: "The king announced that his father entered the palace, and he ordered me to go to Gongzi Xie's mansion and order him and his wife to hand over the baby and execute it in secret. This matter is kept a secret from the outside world! ”

"Yan has left traces, as long as it is something that has been done, how can it not leave traces?" Ji Hu thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "Father, you can't do this." First, once the unrighteousness is preached, the Son of Heaven will only have one oracle, and you will not be able to defend yourself in the future. Second, although Brother Xie Cong is under house arrest, the nominal king has sworn in front of the princes of the world that he will still be in him a hundred years later. If it is really at that time, my father will be the new king's murderous enemy, how will my Zhao clan deal with themselves? ”

"How I don't know what's at stake." Zhao Gong patted the case helplessly and irritably: "Back then, because Queen Yi did not have a son-in-law, the first king died suddenly before he established a prince. Although he has the eldest son Xie, he has been willful and stubborn since he was a child, and he is not liked by the first king. When the throne was undecided, it coincided with the large-scale invasion of the Lynx, and the pickaxe capital was in danger. had no choice but to urgently push him as the king to solve the crisis. ”

"I know," Ji Hu took over his father's words: "This matter was initiated by the Marquis of Qi, and Princess Zhou pushed it, and my father just nodded along with the situation." ”

"Back then, King Cheng had given the Marquis of Qi the right to ask for non-ministers, and the Duke of Zhou was the first assistant of the generation, they pushed hard, and what could be done to stop it for the father? But the ninth king of my Zhou family has always been the eldest son of the lineage, this dynasty broke the rules, what should future generations do? Fortunately, the king swore a blood oath when he ascended the throne, and he would return the throne to King Yi's eldest son Ji Xie in the future, which calmed people's hearts. Now, there is such a ------"

Zhao Gong slammed his fist hatefully: "It must be Zhou Gongding's old fox's idea, he wants to hand over this hot potato to me, so that my Zhao clan can ride a tiger!" ”

"Son of Destiny------" Ji Hu's eyes flashed: "Father, I have a way to save that child and make the Son of Heaven take back his fate!" ”
