Chapter 59: Madness

"Who is the commander of the Heavenly Machine Army?"

When he heard Zhong Xianlong's question, Wang Mo opened his mouth and replied, "Zhou Xing." ”

After speaking, Wang Mo understood the reason why Zhong Xianlong did not order Zhou Wang to be arrested.

The Tianji Army guards the imperial city and is the most important military force in the entire palace, and the four battalions of the Tianji control everything in the capital from the inside to the outside.

This Zhou Xing has nothing to do with Zhou Wang, at least in the background check, the two of them are just surnamed Zhou, and they have no relationship for ten generations.

It's just that the names of Zhou Xing and Zhou Wang are too coincidental, so coincidental that some people have always said that they are brothers.

But rumors are rumors after all, Zhou is a big surname, and there are many civil and military officials with the surname Zhou, so they can't be surnamed Zhou is Zhou Wang's relative.

Zhou Xing has been in command of the Tianji Army for a few years, and he seems to have done well, and he hasn't heard of any mistakes, so no one usually cares about him.

Until today, Zhong Xianlong saw Zhou Wang's performance, and he never thought that in this case, Zhou Wang would dare to insist that Zhou Miaohua was not guilty.

Chung Hsien Loong really almost ordered him to be arrested.

But Zhong Xianlong saw the prince's expression after coughing violently, and the eldest son actually stood there calmly, without any reaction at all.

Obviously, the prince is not afraid of Zhou Wang being imprisoned.

Perhaps in the eyes of the crown prince, the emperor's orders were not easy to use.

If a few years ago, Chung Hsien Loong would have given the order without hesitation, but now that he has just recovered, he does not dare to gamble.

Is the Tianji Army still on his side, and in the case of completely tearing his face, will the prince directly rebel and snatch the throne?

Zhong Xianlong is seventy percent sure that the prince will not dare to do this, but the remaining thirty percent may be enough for him to choose to be cautious.

Zhong Xianlong has been ill for too long, and he suddenly finds himself very unfamiliar with this court. How many people have changed in the Tianji Army, and how many of his former henchmen remain in the army? Is this Zhou Xing really a brother to Zhou Wang, and does the prince dare to kill his father directly?

Chung Hsien Loong now realizes how sick he was before, and he can't even answer these questions.

Therefore, Zhong Xianlong did not choose to deal with Zhou Wang directly in the court, but gave him a step and at the same time gave himself a buffer.

Chung Hsien Loong grabbed a fruit from the basket on the table, which had been picked for several days, but it still looked like it had just been picked.

Zhong Xianlong's illness is all supported by these fruits, but these fruits are not many anymore.

After eating the spirit fruit, Zhong Xianlong seemed to be much more energetic, and said to Wang Mo: "If Zhou Wang wants to put down Shangshu's work, it will take at least three days, and then go to Xuanxuguan for interrogation, and it will take at least six or seven days to come and go." Go and get the list of the Heavenly Machine Army, I want to see how many people have been replaced. ”

Wang Mo asked again: "Your Majesty, where are the six princes?" ”

Zhong Xianlong said: "Don't worry about that rebel, he can recover Guanshan in just one day, and the means are much higher than I expected." Didn't you see that dossier, Yu Yutang's old dog thought that I couldn't see it if I smeared it, Guan Shan had completely become the sixth person.

"What I really have to worry about now is the prince, although Zhou Wang is leaving temporarily, but the prince has always been here, if he is really courageous, I may not be able to save the overall situation in these days."

Wang Mo said excitedly: "He dares? ”

"Haha, it's good to dare, I'm most afraid of his head and rat at both ends, swaying from side to side. If he can really do things, I will be blinded when I die. ”

Zhong Xianlong smiled happily, obviously he was terminally ill and in danger.

Whether it is his illness or the thieves in the court, he may kill him at any time.

But after knowing the performance of the six princes and the crown prince, Zhong Xianlong felt that it was not a big deal for him to die now.

Whether it is the crown prince or the sixth prince, they are all better than he imagined before.

The battle for the throne is like this, either it is ruthless to the end, or it is smart to the end, no matter who wins, this great country can still be passed on.

However, it was not so simple for these sons to snatch his throne. Zhong Xianlong has a feeling of returning to the time when he was fighting for the throne, and he was crushed by the slightest accident, but this kind of stimulation made him intoxicated.

Zhou Wang really did as Zhong Xianlong thought, it took a few days to temporarily hand over the work of Shangshu to his deputy, and then he couldn't wait to receive the holy decree, urging Jingzhao Yin Yu Yutang to go to Xuanxuguan, with a posture of impatience to avenge his son.

The hundred officials of the imperial court are becoming more and more incomprehensible, how busy the military department is usually with work, how can he personally go to Xuanxuan to investigate the case, isn't this nonsense.

The emperor should have called the six princes back for interrogation, but why did he let Zhou Wang and Yu Yutang, two important ministers of the court, go to Xuanxuguan to investigate the case, which is not at all reasonable.

But the emperor and the crown prince who were able to stop this farce were silent, and the other ministers also looked like they were watching the show, and the rest of the people could only keep their mouths shut and wait for the farce to end.

On the carriage, Yu Yutang also said the same thing to Zhou Wang.

"Zhou Shangshu, why is this all the trouble?"

Yu Yutang's face was full of bitterness, he was not young, it was not easy for him to make such a far carriage, and the old bones were about to be shattered.

Zhou Wang was not much younger than Yu Yutang, but he didn't seem to feel anything about it, and he had a cold face all day long.

But considering that he had just killed his son, this behavior was normal.

Hearing Yu Yutang's words, Zhou Wang said coldly: "It's not your son who died, how can you understand." ”

Yu Yutang didn't expect Zhou Wang to talk like this, which was a bit excessive.

In these years, how high is the death rate of children, even if it is a big family, which family will not die of illness or accidentally kill a few children, Zhou Wang's words can be regarded as very rude.

No matter how good Yu Yutang is, he is too lazy to persuade him when he encounters this kind of direct face-cutting words, so he only said to Zhou Wang: "In this case, this official will not disturb Zhou Shangshu." ”

Yu Yutang changed to a carriage, and everyone got back on the road.

Zhou Wang stayed alone in the empty carriage, his expression becoming more and more hideous.

No one knows that Zhou Wang has only one biological son, and that is Zhou Miaohua. After Zhou Miaohua was born, Zhou Wang fell ill and could not have children from then on.

Later, many children of the Zhou family passed on to Zhou Wang, in order to make people in his line prosperous. But his stepson is never as good as his own son, and Zhou Wang has devoted almost all his life to Zhou Miaohua.

When Zhou Miaohua died unexpectedly, Zhou Wang was already on the verge of madness. After these few days, not only did he not ease his emotions, but became more and more crazy.

That's why he chose a path to go to the dark, he couldn't care about the rest of the Zhou family, and he didn't care about any battle for the throne, his only idea now was to let Zhong Yangming pay for his life!

No matter what the price is, he must avenge this revenge.

He didn't have any back-up, he didn't have any hole cards, and he even had many fierce arguments with the prince, but he had already decided to let it go.

With this idea of revenge, Zhou Wang came to Xuanxuguan, he barely had any rest, and immediately pulled Yu Yutang to prepare for the trial.

However, finally forcing Yu Yutang to prepare, Zhou Wang heard a piece of news that made him collapse.

The Guan Lord said to Zhou Wang: "The Sixth Prince? The sixth prince is not on the mountain, and Lao Dao doesn't know where he went. ”

Zhou Wang said angrily: "How dare he run? He's a murderer! ”

The viewer sneered, "It's my business. ”

Zhou Wang hurriedly said to Yu Yutang: "Why don't you send someone to find it?" The murderer absconded in fear of crime! ”

Although Yu Yutang was also surprised that the six princes ran away, he shook his head and said: "The case has not been tried yet, how can the murderer say, according to the previous investigation, the sixth prince is not suspected of murder, and the holy decree did not order him to wait here for us to try the case." ”

Zhou Wang pointed to Yu Yutang's nose and said, "You are covering up." His Majesty had ordered him to face the wall here for fifty years, and this punishment had not been lifted, how could he dare to leave? ”

Yu Yutang said with a smile: "Then you should go back to report to Your Majesty, this official is here to try Zhou Miaohua's case, and it has nothing to do with facing the wall." ”

Zhou Wang saw Yu Yutang's performance, and couldn't help but say: "It turns out that Lord Yu has also become a member of the Six Princes, no wonder." However, don't think that you can get away with it in this way, I will find out the six princes myself. ”

Zhou Wang threw down Yu Yutang and directly ordered the family he brought to search the mountain!
