Chapter 834: Blank Copy of the Book of Life and Death (14)
The morning after Ding Yun became the Emperor's Lady.
King Ning left a substitute to pretend to be himself, and then he himself left the imperial capital through a secret channel and headed straight to Luoyang, a escort capital in the West.
The Great Zhou Emperor's dynasty was too large, so in addition to the imperial capital, there were also four-way accompaniment capitals, which were located in the sub-center of the Great Zhou Emperor's dynasty and were directly in the four directions. To be precise, the imperial capital was located in the center of the Great Zhou Emperor's dynasty. If the Great Zhou Empire was divided into four parts with the imperial capital as the center, the four major accompaniment capitals would be located in the center of the four divided territory.
Because the territory cannot be guaranteed to be a perfect circle or square, the so-called central location, that is, approximately in the center, is not the absolute geographical center.
And these four major companions have a very high status.
They can form a small local court.
Hearing it right, the four great companions of the Great Zhou Emperor's dynasty are all qualified to form small local courts and manage government affairs.
Many remote and economically underdeveloped areas have been included in the management scope of the escort capital. These places do not pay much attention to the imperial capital, so many matters are basically allowed to be handled by the kings themselves. Only when there are major events such as foreign invasions, natural disasters or civil unrest occur.
Only by accompanying the capital must report to the capital.
Only in the imperial capital will intervene in the investigation.
If you need help, please help, if it is caused by some officials in the Pedu court.
Naturally, it will also be strictly reviewed and brought to justice.
The four major Peidus are divided into four directions. The eastern capital Huaihai County is guarded by Zhendongwang, the southern capital Minyang County is guarded by Zhennanwang, the northern capital Jihuai County is guarded by Zhenbeiwang, and the western capital Luoyang County is guarded by Zhenxiwang. These four kings are the only four princes in the Great Zhou Dynasty who have military power and even territory.
Their territory is the county where the accompanying capital is located.
However, these four kings are not hereditary.
All imperial clans who reach the level of Martial Saint are qualified to compete for the position of these four kings. No matter whether they are direct or side branches, no matter how thin the bloodline is, as long as they are imperial clans and surnamed Zhou, they are qualified to compete. The winner is the king, the loser loses everything, and no one will scold them even if they die.
No outsiders are allowed to help during the challenge.
The two directly faced off on the battle stage.
Although it is cruel, this move has indeed inspired the spirit of self-reliance and self-confidence of ordinary imperial clans who are not qualified to inherit the throne and whose descendants are almost reduced to civilians, to strive for progress, and to practice martial arts and bravely climb to the top.
Give them a chance to compete for employment.
It is equivalent to achieving a certain class circulation within the imperial clan, so that some declining imperial clans will not be allowed to directly scatter the salted fish because they have no possibility of improving their status.
Perhaps because the imperial capital has always maintained a relatively powerful force and means, and the four real power princes themselves have to work hard to practice to prevent themselves from being pulled down by others, these four great companions and generations of real power princes have been quite stable for more than 600 years since the founding of the country.
Until the battle of the imperial capital forcing the palace more than ten years ago.
After the war, the imperial capital suffered a great loss and its control over the four major accompaniments was relatively weakened.
Over the years, although the four great companions have maintained superficial stability and superficial respect, it is definitely impossible to say that they have no idea. After all, many people are not satisfied.
Being a prince who works diligently, fearlessly, and may be killed by others at any time, how can he be the lord of the imperial dynasty be comfortable? Since the four real-powerful princes of the imperial dynasty can compete for employment, why can't the emperor?
Who is not the descendant of the founding ancestor?
Of course, this is just a speculation of some royal princes. As for whether the facts are like this, it is hard to say. After all, the four real-powerful princes are now showing a very peaceful appearance.
The story of the establishment of the emperor and the princess was passed on to them.
None of them made a memorial to stop them.
However, King Ning investigated the King of Zhenxi in Luoyang County through Xu Taiwei, who was urgently sent out of the imperial capital by him. He was definitely not as obedient as he seemed. Not only did he privately train a group of private soldiers far exceeding the specifications, but he also contacted many fallen imperial clans who belonged to the side branches but were absolutely not weak.
It seems that they have reached some cooperation agreement.
After discovering these situations, King Ning immediately felt a sense of silence as he seized the handle of King Zhenxi. He couldn't wait to sneak to Luoyang County. After meeting with the Martial Saint Xu Taiwei, he asked Xu Taiwei to take his token and negotiate with King Zhenxi on his behalf.
In fact, it is a matter of negotiating the Jingnan forced the palace.
There is no way, the secret treasure in his hand cannot support him in the imperial capital, and he has a real-time call with Xu Taiwei, who is far away in Luoyang County. The fewer people know about the Jingnan matter, the better. Moreover, when discussing, they cannot travel back and forth several times to pass messages on a problem, which will take more time and will easily leak secrets.
In order to realize your dream as soon as possible.
He could only take certain risks and personally come to Luoyang County, and then contact Xu Taiwei privately through the secret treasure to direct Xu Taiwei to negotiate with Zhenxiwang.
Then the meeting was naturally taken for granted.
and secret negotiations.
Although Xu Taiwei was communicating with King Zhenxi, Xu Taiwei actually had no idea. He just relied on secret treasures to pass on what King Zhenxi said to King Ning, while recounting King Ning's words and communicating with King Zhenxi, at most he counted as a personal phone number.
A perfect tool.
The general meaning of King Ning is that Emperor Qianyu's act of establishing the Emperor's Imperial Lady was purely selfish, disregarding the people of the world, and treating the entire Great Zhou Dynasty as his family's own lineage. It was very hateful, and if you don't stop it quickly.
The world will inevitably be in chaos in the future.
I hope we can cooperate and win-win things.
At the end, he also specifically asked Xu Taiwei to say that if he or his descendants could successfully ascend the throne to the emperor, he could swear to ensure that the throne of King Zhenxi was hereditary, and abolish the current very unreasonable competitive employment system to prevent him from being killed.
"King Ning, are you too self-righteous and too insincere? Do you think I have never seen this before or something, or something happened? You didn't even have the courage to come over to discuss the matter face to face with me. You still have the nerve to mention, what if you are willing to ascend the throne.
Could it be that you think I succeeded?
Can you still not get the benefits you promised?
And you ask me how to help you, why don’t you mention how much strength you can bring out and how much help you can give me? Am I stupid, or are you stupid!"
The King of Zhenxi was really smiling and sarcastic at this time. It was ridiculous. A prince who had no real power or territory in his hands, and at most was a prince who was closer to Emperor Qianyu's bloodline, came to ask him for cooperation. The conditions for cooperation would be to help him ascend the throne and give him more benefits. This trick would be difficult to fool children.
It’s really a waste who was kept in captivity since he was born and was not allowed to go out. It’s naive and ridiculous.
