Many things in this world are like this. Everyone knows it well, but there is no conclusive evidence to prove the obvious person. This is the case with the affair between Zhou Gongding and the queen. Zhao Bohu knew it, and King Zhou Yi also knew it.

, the mastermind behind this matter must be Zhou Gongding. But all of this is due to logical reasoning, and if we talk about empirical evidence - it is not impossible.

Zhao Bohu thought for a while and suddenly had an idea. Xu Ran said: "The Duke of the country is good at making plans. But I have a small matter that I would like to ask for advice. I wonder if you would like to see me?"

Zhou Gongding stroked his beard with confidence, spread his hands and said, "It's okay to say it, Zi Mu."

"Three years ago, Shu Diao, the chamberlain, suddenly brought his family members from the border areas to Wang Yuan, and received five hundred acres of land for free for farming. This time, the Qiuliao Palace incident occurred, and Shu Diao's family were all executed. Although

They didn't say a word until they died. However, when I visited my neighbors and tenants, I learned that this land used to be the private property of Uncle Mei, a retainer of the Duke's family. I don't know why it was given to Shu Diao? I don't know what happened to these two people in the past.

What's the intersection? Does the Duke know about this?"

Zhou Gongding suddenly changed his expression. He did not expect that Zhao Bohu would be so persistent, and he would dig out such secret things. Fortunately, he had a hand and did not allocate property from his own name to Shu Diao, otherwise it would be really unclear.

He cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Is this happening? The old minister didn't know anything about it. However, Shu Diao used to be the apprentice and adopted son of the eunuch under the throne of King Xian Xiao. He often traveled to the mansions of various courtiers and clansmen. Perhaps

I don’t know if there is any fateful friendship.”

After a push of six, two and five, Zhao Bohu sneered, picked up the tea bowl and blew on it: "The Duke is worthy of being a veteran of three dynasties. It is really rare to know such a detailed past relationship of a chamberlain!"

"Both each other!" Zhou Gongding did not give in too much. If the other party wanted to go deeper, he would just give up another chess piece. Anyway, he was so slippery that he had more chess pieces.

"The so-called swallow leaves traces. Once many things have been done, it is not easy to completely erase the traces." Zhao Bohu continued to tap, mastering skills, and every word had profound meaning.

Duke Zhou definitely didn’t want to dwell on this topic any longer. The more he explained, the more his flaws would be exposed. How could he not understand, being so cunning and cunning? He quickly changed the subject, solemnly put down the tea bowl, and said with cupped hands:

"Zimu, I'm here to visit you today, but I'm not here to eat these old sesame seeds and rotten millet. After the queen's funeral, the king repeatedly criticized him at the court meeting. Mr. Yan didn't handle the queen's funeral affairs well, and he deliberately embarrassed the royal family. It's really true.

What a great injustice! There are rules and regulations for the queen's funeral. The veteran is just following the same rules. What did he do wrong? The funerals of queens in the past only need to be attended by relatives surnamed Ji. Is it necessary to gather the princes of the world? Isn't that right?

Are you overstepping your bounds? I am really aggrieved and don’t know who to talk to? ------"

In order to increase the sensational effect, he also squeezed out a few tears and took the opportunity to observe Zhao Bohu's reaction. Unfortunately, the other party was not fooled at all and acted as if he had not seen anything. He had no intention of consoling him at all. It was really boring.

!

Zhou Gongding had no choice but to laugh and find his way down the steps. Zhao Bohu said calmly: "The Duke is a smart man, why do you need to act like this? It's better to just tell the truth."

"In that case, you're welcome, old minister." Zhou Gong said seriously: "The old minister understands in his heart that the king cannot get evidence and wants to use other reasons to punish me. Zimu, you don't say anything, but you are also hoping in your heart.

It’s because of the old minister’s downfall, isn’t it?”

Zhao Bohu curled his lips noncommittally and continued to blow the hot tea in the bowl without moving like a mountain. Zhou Gongding had no choice but to continue speaking: "But Zimu, you don't want to think about it. If you want me to die, I have to die. Your Majesty.

Now you are gnashing your teeth and trying to punish me, but you haven’t taken action yet, why?”

"Yes, why?" Zhao Bohu smiled mockingly to himself: "Isn't it for the sake of the stability of the world? Your in-laws and relatives are all over the world, and the king is afraid of disturbing the world."

Zhou Gongding breathed a sigh of relief and sat down slowly: "So you all know. When the first King Xiao was alive, he made Feizi a vassal and married off the eldest daughter of an old minister. Although Qin is small now, it is northwest of Haojing.

A barrier to resist the wolves. In this way, guarding the frontier also has a share of the veteran’s contribution.”

Zhao Bohu's expression was as usual, but his left hand holding the handle of the bowl lid was obviously a little harder. Zhou Gongding saw this almost imperceptible change, and smiled softly and said: "In that year, I killed my uncle to seize the throne.

In order to win the approval of the King of Zhou, he deliberately married his sister to the eldest son of the veteran minister. Did Zi Mu know about this? Needless to say, Qi State. Even in the south, the veteran minister also worked hard. The wife of the governor of E was weak and could no longer

Since then, the old minister has sent his young daughter to his side chamber in advance, and she will most likely be the next Mrs. E Guozheng in the future. Isn’t Mu Mu not aware of this?"

What an old fox! He used the marriage of his children to weave a tight and thick protective net for himself, so that the King of Zhou could not touch him easily! Zhao Bohu sneered: "It seems that the Duke of Guo is really concerned about the marriage of his children.

I have put a lot of thought into it. It is a pity that the Duke of the Kingdom does not know that the king has lost his queen and the one he loves most, so he can no longer look at him with normal human thinking."

Zhou Gongding's eyebrows jumped. This was what he was most worried about. After losing his wife, Ji Xie became very violent and seemed to be close to madness. He executed Yi Ji and Ji Jiang without regard to the face of his uncle's family.

He didn't consider the feelings of his children at all. The concubines in the harem were withering away, Meng Jiang was scared out of his mind, and Huang Ying begged to protect the queen's mausoleum to protect himself. How could this be something a normal man would do? Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on his back.

, sincerely asked for advice: "Please Zimu teach me."

Seeing that Zhao Bohu remained silent, Zhou Gongding simply said: "I know that Zimu is at odds with me, but Zimu is a smart man. For the stability of the Zhou Dynasty, and for the prince's future prosperity, you must save me."

One rescue."

The two of them argued again and again, and Zhao Bohu put down his tea bowl and said seriously: "For the sake of the overall situation, I can show you a way. If you can do it, and the king has expressed the bad temper in his heart, you can make another decision.

Great merit, the whole world will speak for you. If the king wants to deal with you again, the whole world will speak for you."

"Please Zimu teach me." Zhou Gongding bowed deeply again.

"If you can help the king get rid of a serious problem, you will certainly make a great contribution."

"A serious concern?" Zhou Gongding thought for a moment and suddenly realized: "Could it be Prince Xi?"

"Yes, that's the person! I know he is a bargaining chip in the hands of you and the Marquis of Qi, but now that the king's throne is stable, and the prince's civility and military strategy are no longer likely to be shaken. Prince Xi is no longer useful, why not give it to him?

How about changing your own peace?"

"But, he is the brother-in-law of the Marquis of Qi after all. Is Lu Bushan willing?" Zhou Gongding was a little hesitant.

"This depends on the Duke's ability."

Seeing the rickety back of Zhou Gong Dinglui leaving, Zhao Bohu sighed and bowed to the sky: "Queen Fanji is the soul in heaven. I made this plan for the great Zhou Dynasty and the prince's foundation. I don't know if the queen knows it and can forgive me."

Do you agree?"
