Unexpectedly, after guarding the city for two more days, some people in the city became confused.

One day, Zhao Chang went into the palace to report on the situation of defending the city, and happened to bump into Jiang Zhen'er who was hanging out with Zhou Wuxi indoors.

King Qi passed away, and Jiang Zhen'er was promoted to Queen Mother. She was dressed in plain white clothes without any makeup, but her beautiful face was so charming that it captivated people's hearts.

The beauty was lying on her back on the couch, her clothes were disheveled, her black hair was like ink, and her body was like a snake. Her body was winding in Zhou Wuxi's arms, drinking and flirting with the man. As soon as Zhao Changfu came in, he saw this blood-soaked beauty.

After a scene, he quickly exited, pretending not to see anything.

But afterwards, he could never forget that scene. When he dreamed about it at midnight, he often thought of Jiang Zhen'er's figure in his mind.

One of his subordinates saw that he had something on his mind, and after questioning, he found out the whole story. He immediately said, "It is not difficult for the general to monopolize the Jianghou area."

Zhao Chang had a sad face when he heard this. He didn't believe what the man said, so he sat on the chair with his hands spread out and sighed sadly.

"She is the late king's woman. Even if the late king is gone and there is an affair between my four grandnephews and they have an affair, it is not my turn. How can I get her."

The doorman's eyes rolled up and down, obviously thinking of some bad idea. Then he turned around and saw no one was around, leaned over and whispered in Zhao Chang's ear.

"General, why don't you take your place?"

Zhao Chang's heart suddenly trembled, his body froze, and he turned to look at the scribe beside him, "You mean... I will be the King of Qi?"

The scribe nodded, but Zhao Chang suddenly jumped up, looked around nervously, lowered his voice, and scolded.

"Are you crazy? You want me to rebel like Yang Guosi?"

"No! This is absolutely impossible!"

Although Zhao Chang was a womanizer and had enjoyed a lot of adulation after serving as general for so many years, even though he acted a little arrogantly, he was not bold enough to dare to rebel.

"Why not?"

The disciple knew that since he had said this, if he could not convince Zhao Chang, Zhao Chang would probably kill him in the future.

He looked serious, "Third and Fourth Young Masters, it's better to force the palace to rebel for the sake of the throne. Yang Guosi wants to be the King of Qi, and there are many people in the world who have this idea. Since the General has this ability, why not become the King, and also rank among others?

under?"

Seeing that Zhao Chang was silent and seemed to be in a dilemma, the retainer started to get angry again.

"How many people don't know how Zhou Wuxi got the throne? What he could do, why can't you imitate it? What's more, the late king died suddenly, who can guarantee that it was not at the hands of his second son?!"

Hearing this, Zhao Chang was stunned.

He actually knew a little bit about what happened that night. After all, he was one of the people who helped Zhou Wuxi rise to power.

But for some reason, he didn't explain.

As if being bewitched, the retainer slowly came forward, approached Zhao Chang again, and whispered, "Even the descendants of the Zhou Wu family can fight bloody battles for the throne and kill relatives and rebel. You are their uncle."

Sir, why can't you sit on the throne of this country?"

"When you become the King of Qi, if you don't want anything, Empress Jiang... will not let you take it away."

The doorman gave a meaningful smile.

The last sentence is like some kind of slow poison, seeping into the beating heart bit by bit, becoming addicted to the drug called desire.

What man doesn’t want the power to be superior to others, to have the supreme status, and to have the most beautiful woman as his companion.

Zhao Chang couldn't resist this irresistible temptation after pondering for a long time, and was persuaded by his disciples.

He looked hard, "How can we act?"

The doorman thought for a while and finally said two words.

"Move the capital!"

Now that Yang Guosi is watching outside Shangchun City, Zhao Changruo chooses to rebel with him at this time. He is undoubtedly seeking death. He is not the only one who has soldiers in the city. If they really fight against each other, both sides will be injured in the final fight. Instead, they may be killed by Yang Guosi.

Si got a bargain.

But we have to do the opposite. If we miss the current situation, we may not be able to take advantage of it in the future.

It would be better to use the excuse of moving the capital to kill Zhou Wuxi on the road before the reinforcements arrive, and then take over the power by himself. By then, Zhao Chang will not be able to decide whether he will be the king of Qi or not.

After the retainer finished speaking, Zhao Chang was convinced. After thinking about it, he thought it was feasible and immediately prepared to implement his plan to move the capital.

The next day, he went to Zhou Wuxi to tell him about the matter, and also brought along the retainer who had given him advice.

It happened that on this day, Yang Guosi had withdrawn his troops early for some unknown reason, and Xiao Jiu received a summons from Zhou Wuxi as soon as he returned to the city.

…

"Meet the King!"

Xiao Jiu entered the palace and saluted.

Zhou Wuxi's enthronement ceremony was quick and simple. He didn't even have the funeral of the old King of Qi, so he ascended the throne first. The reason he gave was also very simple and crude - now that the army is surrounding the city and there is no way to be buried, it is better to ascend the throne first.

, stabilize military morale.

There is nothing wrong with this reason, but it also leaves people wondering what to say. After all, a country cannot be without its owner for a day.

"No gift."

Zhou Wuxi, who was sitting on the throne, raised his hands and was too lazy to get up.

Maybe it was because Xiao Jiu and the others had been keeping the rebels out of the city very well these days, so they didn't feel too nervous. But this time it was not the case. Xiao Jiu took advantage of the opportunity to get up and observed Wu Xi's expression next week.

, and found that the other person's face was not so happy, and even had a hint of worry.

He glanced at Zhao Chang who was standing opposite him. There was a middle-aged scribe who he didn't recognize beside him. Apart from that, there was no one else in the room.

Xiao Jiu was confused and asked directly, "Why did the king call me here?"

Unexpectedly, after Zhou Wuxi glanced at Zhao Chang, he asked, "General Huang has really gone out of the city to ask for help? Why has there been no sign of anyone after several days?"

It turned out that he was anxiously waiting for reinforcements. Xiao Jiu replied calmly, "Yes. Reinforcements must be on their way. Your Majesty, please be patient."

"Humph, why are you on the road? I'm afraid you may have left us and run for your lives!"

The speaker is Zhao Chang.

He only saw a disdainful sneer on his face. Zhou Wuxi said nothing or refuted. Xiao Jiu had no choice but to speak out to prove Huang Xuan's innocence.

"General Zhao, what kind of person Old General Huang is is known to everyone in the civil and military dynasties. The other party is not a rat who only knows how to run for his life."

"Then why haven't you seen him for so long?"

Xiao Jiu: "I have heard that there may be something strange about the southern barbarian soldiers on the northern border. Now that our capital is in chaos, if they take the opportunity to send troops south, it will be the best time to invade our country of Qi. I am afraid that General Huang will lead him

Went to defend the enemy."

ha?!

The three people in the palace were startled, especially Zhou Wuxi, who screamed out in shock, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?! If he leads troops to resist the Nanman, who will come to the capital to rescue him?!"

"Your Majesty, don't panic. The news has been spread. General Huang will arrange for surrounding troops to be stationed..."

Before he could finish his words, a loud shout rang in his ears.

"You fart!"

Zhao Chang pointed at Xiao Jiu and cursed, "If that old man really leads his troops north, how many troops will be left in other places to come to Kyoto to rescue him?"

The words were said suddenly and inexplicably.

Could it be that the entire Qi State couldn't spare ten or twenty thousand troops to come to the royal capital?

After Zhao Chang finished scolding, he just flicked his sleeves and hurriedly bowed in front of Zhou Wuzhao and said, "Your Majesty, it's not too late! Let's move the capital!"

What?!

When Xiao Jiu suddenly heard this term, he was startled. Later he realized that Zhou Wuxi came to him not to ask about reinforcements, but to consider moving the capital.

"No, the matter has not reached such an urgent stage. If you open the city gate rashly, you will lead the wolf into the house, and then the king's capital will not be able to defend it." Xiao Jiu said in a deep voice.

"What else are you guarding?!"

Zhao Chang turned his head and interrupted Xiao Jiu sternly, "The king's safety is the most important! If the city is lost, you can get it back. If anything happens to the king, can you afford it, Xiao Shangzao?"

"As for the reinforcements, who knows when the reinforcements will arrive? We are now trapped in the royal capital, and we don't know anything about the outside world. If there is a rebellion on the ground, when will the reinforcements arrive? Should we put down the rebellion first, or

Save the king first?"

"How long can we hold on! Tens of thousands of rebels are still waiting outside the city!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the whole room was left in silence.

The expression on Zhou Wuxi's face also changed from the obvious impatience to contemplation, with his eyebrows furrowed and his face solemn.

It was obvious that if he didn't say anything else, Zhou Wuxi would really consider moving the capital and running away.

"Your Majesty, the reinforcements will arrive soon. The fastest reinforcements are from the Liangqiu Gongsun clan. They will arrive at the royal capital in about three or four days."

Um?

Zhou Wuxi's eyes lit up, but Zhao Chang, who was standing by him, was secretly complaining and yelled to stop, "You said three or four days, who knows if you are delaying it intentionally."

Xiao Jiu frowned, wondering why Zhao Chang seemed determined to move the capital.

"Gongsun Sheng has already sent a message to the head of the Gongsun family by flying eagle. Calculating the distance, they are indeed approaching the royal capital."
