Chapter 206: An Organization
"Whose mausoleum?"
Zhang Laosan walked over, holding a big knife in his hand, the blade was stained with blood, and it had not dried up.
Seeing Lord Zhou fall at Wang Cheng's feet like a dead dog, he exclaimed again: "Dead? β
Wang Cheng nodded.
Zhang Laosan's face was strange for a while, although this result was already within his expectations, but after actually seeing it with his own eyes, it was another thought.
After all, this is a martial arts master, not a cat or a dog, and he died too quickly.
"That's right! Engong, you haven't said whose mausoleum this is. He asked again.
Wang Cheng said: "Zhou Zhaogong." β
"It's him!" Zhang Laosan was shocked.
It is estimated that no one in the entire Great Zhou does not know, maybe many people don't know who the third and fourth Zhou kings of the Great Zhou are, but they must know Zhou Zhaogong.
He was the youngest son of King Wen of the Great Zhou, the half-brother of King Cheng of the third Zhou of the Great Zhou, and the uncle of King Kang of the fourth Zhou of the Great Zhou.
King Cheng has been taught the way to govern the country by King Wen since he was a child, and he has high hopes. After he ascended the throne, he did not live up to King Wen's high expectations.
Recuperation, attaching importance to Sannong, governing the country diligently and thriftily, reducing taxes, the country flourished under his governance, and continued the rule initiated by King Wen.
It's a pity that less than ten years after he was on the throne, he suddenly fell ill and left the West.
After the death of King Cheng, his eldest son, a boy who was only twelve or thirteen years old, was enthroned, which was later King Kang.
The Great Zhou Dynasty has gone through three kings, and there has never been a young Zhou king, and at the beginning, the ministers were afraid of the authority of the Zhou king and did not dare to question it. Later, when King Kang issued some ridiculous decrees, the ministers finally realized that he was actually a child.
So they began to try to challenge the authority of King Zhou, and gradually controlled the government of the court, especially those brothers of King Cheng, that is, King Kang's uncle, many of whom held important positions in the court.
is also the son of King Wen, seeing a young man sitting on the throne and fooling around, a giant beast slowly grew in their hearts, which was the "beast of power desire" who was extremely eager for power.
Gradually, they were no longer satisfied with the court, and they stretched out their hands to the supreme throne.
In the third year of King Kang's reign, that is, in the third year of Dekang, the five most powerful sons of King Wen staged a coup d'Γ©tat, and the five forces participated in the struggle for the throne.
The palace rioted, Kyoto shed blood, and many people died because of it, which is known as the "Chengkang Rebellion".
As the saying goes: The country is in turmoil, and the loyal generals are in chaos, and traitors are born in peace for a long time. A poor family produces a filial son, and a hero comes out of troubled times.
It was Zhou Zhao, the youngest son of King Wen, who stepped forward and hid King Kang in advance when the fifth son of King Wen staged a coup d'Γ©tat, so that they could pounce on the air, and secretly spread rumors that "King Kang is in the hands of whom".
The five forces were suspicious of each other and fought fiercely, and the riot lasted for nearly two years from the autumn of the third year of Dekang to the spring of the fifth year of Dekang.
During this time, the five forces completely controlled the government, and the palace had never had a king of Zhou.
It was also during this time that Zhou Zhao secretly cultivated his own forces. Because of the struggle for power, the five forces have long been boiling with public resentment and deviating from morality.
So Zhou Zhao's power was growing in secret, but the power of the five parties was decreasing, and finally in the spring of the fifth year of Dekang, Zhou Zhao led his own people to clean up the rebellion.
The five sons of King Wen never thought that their younger brother, who was completely regarded as a little transparent by them on weekdays, would have such courage and means, and he didn't realize that they were calculated until the moment before he died.
A riot that lasted for nearly two years was crushed by Zhou Zhao with a thunderbolt, and his popularity reached its peak, with many ministers advising him to take the throne of Zhou.
However, Zhou Zhao did not do this, and he sent King Kang, who had been hiding for nearly two years, to the world.
However, he knew very well that even if King Kang was put on the throne again, no one would be convinced, because King Kang was only thirteen or fourteen years old at that time, so he began his ten-year career as an auxiliary government.
In the past ten years, almost all the decrees came from the hands of Zhou Zhao, and under his governance, the Great Zhou once again ushered in the rule of the world, and it was better than before.
Listening to Wang Cheng tell this history, Zhang Laosan seemed to be in that period of time.
He couldn't help but sigh: "Damn! I've always heard people say how powerful Zhaogong is, but I didn't expect him to do so many things, even more powerful than many King Zhou. β
Suddenly, he opened his mouth and asked Wang Cheng, "Why didn't Zhaogong go and sit in that position?" β
Wang Cheng was silent, he was not Zhaogong, he didn't know what Zhaogong was thinking.
These figures are so similar to the famous Duke of Zhou in Chinese history, they all have the ability and strength to take the throne, but they do not do so.
Whether they have thought about that position, no one can say, to be precise, they are more rational about the position of power, which few people can do.
"It's not something we can speculate about such a person as Zhaogong, and for thousands of years, there is only one person!"
Later, King Kang thanked Zhao Gong for his outstanding contribution to the Great Zhou, made him a duke, and rewarded him with the richest five original seals of the Great Zhou.
Not only that, in terms of food and clothing and all kinds of etiquette, King Kang even allowed him to take the specifications of King Zhou as an honor - seeing Uncle Wang is like seeing a king.
Since then, Zhou Zhao's reputation has truly reached its peak, and even after a thousand years, his name is still resounding in the Great Zhou.
After returning to the government of Queen Kang, Zhou Zhao took his family and ministers down to Wuyuan, which was later called "Zhaoguo", and because of this, Zhou Zhao was habitually respected as "Zhaogong" by the world.
Zhang Laosan understood it thoroughly, and said: "So, the specifications of this mausoleum are the same as those of King Zhou's mausoleum?" β
Wang Cheng said: "Almost! β
The royal palace has been found in the outer city before, which has well demonstrated that this mausoleum was built according to the specifications of the king of Zhou.
Zhang Laosan's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "The royal tomb with the same specifications as King Zhou, there must be countless treasures in it." β
Wang Cheng just nodded secretly in his heart, and learned from the memory of that Lord Zhou that when he was called to be buried, there were countless gold, silver, jade, silk books and ancient paintings.
No one knows the exact number of funeral goods, but the word "countless" says it all.
Seeing that Zhang Laosan's saliva was about to flow out, Wang Cheng scolded: "Don't think about this, hurry up and rescue Sanniang!" β
"Sanniang?"
Zhang Laosan was taken aback at first, and then rejoiced: "Engong knows where Sanniang is being held?" β
Wang Cheng nodded, Ye Sanniang is now locked up in this underground royal tomb, but not in the outer city, but in the inner city.
"How do you know?" Zhang Laosan subconsciously asked, he was really curious about Wang Cheng.
At a young age, his strength is no longer under the martial arts master, and he seems to know everything.
Who is this?
Wang Cheng didn't have the heart to explain this, that Lord Zhou was not the person who spoke about this underground royal tomb, he and Jin Lao Da belonged to the same organization.
This organization has been around for a long time, and even a martial arts master like Lord Zhou doesn't know the details very well.
However, with the memory of Lord Zhou, he finally had a deeper understanding of the layout of Zhou Zhaogong's mausoleum.
The outer city of the royal tomb is accompanied by rare beasts and food officials, and they are in this area at the moment.
The inner city is the inner city, and most of the mausoleums in the inner city are concubines, that is, the women of Zhou Zhaogong.
According to historical records, Zhou Zhaogong lived for a long time, King Kang had not died yet, and King Mu, who lived the longest in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, almost didn't survive him.
He can live so long, one is because he is still in power with Queen Kang, he has nothing to worry about, and his life is very comfortable; The second is because he has a strong cultivation, and among the sons of King Wen, he is the strongest, otherwise he would not be able to suppress his five brothers and quell the "Chengkang Rebellion".
Because I live for a long time and have nothing to worry about all day, most of my energy is focused on women. It is clearly recorded that there are as many as forty-nine women who can be called.
If there is any stain on Zhou Zhaogong, this is the only one. But more people believe that liking beauty is actually Zhou Zhaogong's self-defilement, because King Kang is not at ease!
If he had no shortcomings at all, King Kang wouldn't even be able to sleep at night, and then King Kang would send him a few beauties every year, which was very understanding.
Zhou Zhaogong also did not refuse to come, so counting the forty-nine women who could be called, nearly 100 women were buried together in the inner city of the royal tomb.
As is the case with almost all royal tombs, once the soil is sealed, all access entrances are blocked.
The entrance to the inner city was also sealed, but it was opened by the members of the organization.
According to the memory of that Lord Zhou, there were two entrances to the inner city, one was the main gate, and the other was the path they were taking at the moment.
The main entrance is connected to the avenue, and there is a high possibility of being intercepted by the avenue, and it is relatively safer to take the small road.
Because the trail is hidden, except for Boss Jin himself, outsiders have no way of knowing. Therefore, even if they thought about it clearly, they would never have thought that Wang Cheng was walking from the trail.
The trail was clearly dug later, and was long and narrow, dark and damp.
But just as Wang Cheng thought, they didn't encounter anyone to intercept them along the way.
A few minutes later, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, and they saw a huge secret room.
There are several figures in the secret room, one of them is short, but he wears gold and silver, like a landlord and old wealth.
"Boss Kim?" Zhang Laosan exclaimed.
Wang Cheng covered his mouth to prevent him from continuing, and then glared at him fiercely.
Seeing the confusion on Zhang Laosan's face, Wang Cheng transmitted his voice and told him that this was the nest of that organization.
This organization is very powerful, and it is not in any way under the top forces outside.
There are at least three people who have just entered the realm of the Martial Sect, such as Lord Zhou, and the leader of the organization is a person who has seen the head and not the tail, and few people have seen the true face of this person, because every time he appears, he wears a jade mask, and no one even knows whether he is a man or a woman.
After Zhang Laosan heard this, he immediately became honest.
However, it wasn't long before he suddenly screamed and jumped off the ground like a burning butt.
