Although Zhou Fa did not go to the court, let alone the Taiji Palace, the choice of the court was already expected by him. Because this is also the result of his single-hand planning.

"Grandfather." Zhou Fa was reading a book, and Zhou Lingwang came in to pay a visit.

"Hope? Sit down." Zhou Lingwang's visit to Zhou Fa was a little surprised, this little granddaughter is the most harmonious with the light, she has always lived in a simple place, and she usually stays in the Mingyue Nunnery on weekdays, even if she replies occasionally, she either stays in the Buddhist hall, or she recites scriptures in her own house, and rarely goes out, "What is the matter with you coming today?"

"My grandfather loved to read Mencius, and my granddaughter hand-copied a copy of Mencius a few days ago and dedicated it to my grandfather. It's just the right time for my grandfather to point out my granddaughter's calligraphy." Zhou Lingwang was deferential and humble, but when Zhou Fa couldn't see it, there was a dark glint in his eyes.

Zhou Fa didn't notice it, and while he was surprised, he couldn't help but smile and nodded, "You have a heart."

Zhou Fa flipped through it casually, with a little appreciation in his eyes, "It's worthy of my Zhou girl, this word is indeed getting more and more beneficial."

"In order to worship the Buddha in the bright moon and in the dark, I copy the scriptures every day, and I dare not be careless, so I have never slackened." Zhou Lingwang said neither humbly nor arrogantly. is not proud of Zhou Fa's praise, nor is he overly modest.

Speaking of this, when Zhou Fa looked at Zhou Lingwang, there was more helplessness in his eyes.

Zhou Lingwang is good everywhere, among the girls of Zhou's generation, there is no one more outstanding than her, but it is a pity that her temperament is too lonely and escaping, and she is the same as the light, which seems incompatible with Zhou's.

It's just that Zhou Lingwang is well-behaved and obedient, and he won't cause trouble to the Zhou family, so she goes.

The two didn't talk much, Zhou Lingwang left Zhou Fan's courtyard, she handed a sign into the palace today, and wanted to visit Zhou Lingwen.

At the corner, Zhou Lingwang met his mother, Mrs. Zhou. Zhou Lingwang saluted gently.

"Where are you going? I heard from the servant that you had asked someone to prepare a carriage. Are you going to Myeongwol-an again?" Mrs. Zhou looked at her formal daughter dressed up and couldn't help but ask more.

"Go to the palace to see Zhou Niangniang. I'll go back to the Bright Moon Temple tomorrow."

"Are you planning to live in the nunnery for the rest of your life? Where are you young girls going in and out of the nunnery for a long time? You're only a teenager, do you want to be lonely in this life?" Mrs. Zhou said angrily.

Zhou Lingwang raised his head slightly, "Is the mother worried that her daughter will be lonely when she is a teenager, or is she worried that the only daughter of the Zhou family will be lonely?"

Mrs. Zhou choked, her brows tightened more and more, and her daughter's face was still flat, as if she hadn't said anything big, but it did punish her heart, "Are you complaining about me?"

"My daughter doesn't dare."

"I don't dare, not I can't. Are you complaining about me, you have been complaining about me since what happened to Lingyi?" Although Mrs. Zhou was asking, her words were extremely affirmative.

"My daughter doesn't dare." Zhou Lingwang is still the same sentence.

"Ling Yi is also my daughter, how do you know that I don't feel sorry, how do you know that I don't feel sorry when he dies? When you were young, how did you know about Zhou's situation? What you see Zhou is a brocade of flowers and a blazing fire cooking oil, how do you know the wind sword and frost sword in such a prosperous situation?

At that time, the Zhou family was in crisis, and the first emperor dreamed of catching Zhou's mistakes, your sister eloped with someone else, do you know how much trouble this will bring to the Zhou family? If you don't kill her, the entire Zhou family will be implicated, even if she is my daughter, she can't be tolerated.

There is also Lingwen. Although she was not born to me, she was also raised by me, and she has served by my side all these years, and she is more dedicated than you, do you think I am willing to give up on her? But you can also see that if we didn't kill her, what we would get in exchange would be the decline of the Zhou family.

We are the children of a family, and we accept the support of the family, how can we not think about the family? If it hinders the development of the family, it must be the family's priority."

Zhou Lingwang listened to these high-sounding words, and she didn't refute them, she knew that this was her mother's concept that had been deeply rooted in her bone marrow, and she couldn't reverse it and didn't want to reverse it. Her two sisters are victims of the Zhou family's seizure of power, but the victims are not only her two sisters. The people of the four cities north of the Li River are not all because of the selfish desires of the Zhou family

And to die?

"That's what Mother said." Zhou Lingwang replied nonchalantly.

"You!" Mrs. Zhou knew that Zhou Lingwang was rebellious under his obedient appearance, she was extremely angry, but she had to make a bitter look, "There is no way out for the Zhou family now, if we retreat, it will be a dead end."

"That's what Mother said." Zhou Lingwang suppressed the little ridicule in his eyes. Is it a dead end? Not necessarily. Grandfather Zhishi for a long time, but he did not see the Zhou family usher in the demise.

The Zhan family and the Zhou family are both famous families in Xiaqiu, and the Zhan family is not as powerful as the Zhou family, and they don't see him perish.

For example, people today, when mentioning the Xiaqiu Zhan clan, who doesn't praise the family. But when it comes to the Xiaqiu Zhou family, who doesn't scold a relative for interfering in politics, the gate valve monopolies.

She actually wanted to ask, Mrs. Zhou often reads the Tao Te Ching, hasn't she read this paragraph?

"It's better to hold on to it. It cannot be kept for a long time. The house is full of gold and jade, and Mo can keep it. Rich and arrogant, self-blame. Success and retirement, the way of heaven."

Even she understands such a simple truth, how can the family not understand? It's just an excuse for one's own selfish desires.

In the book "Mencius" that he copied for his grandfather, in fact, there was one sentence missing, and his grandfather was erudite and talented, and if he read it carefully, he would definitely know which sentence was missing: "Look up to the sky, bow down to others."

There was a shocking explosion along the Li River, and others may think it was a natural disaster, but she understood that it was a man-made disaster.

Perhaps the former Zhou family can retire after taking advantage of the situation, and in the history of Japan, the monarch and the minister will be harmonious, and it can also be passed on as a good story.

But now it can't be done, the explosion in Zhenyuan, the bursting of the embankments of several major estuaries, and the people of the four counties of Xichang, the eight counties of Zhenyuan, the six counties of Tongjiang and the three counties of ** died. The Zhou family is burdened with such a big sin, why does he live innocently in history? If the Zhou family can leave a name in history, then what are the people who died in vain?

Mrs. Zhou still wanted to say what to write, but Zhou Lingwang obviously didn't mean to continue talking with her, she was so gentle that she couldn't find fault with it, "My daughter has already handed over a sign to enter the palace, not only to meet Zhou Niangniang, but also to meet the queen's mother, don't delay the hour, my daughter will retire first."

"Eh-" Before Mrs. Zhou could stop, Zhou Lingwang had already left quickly. She closed her eyes in a dark complexity, and the year Ling Yi died, she lost all her daughters.
