Volume Four, Three Southern Counties, Chapter Four Hundred and Nine, Chang'an Emperor Zhou Qian
A group of powerful royal men stood erect in the palace. The huge palace was filled with light and strange phenomena appeared.
The leader is the great elder of the royal group of elders. "After discussion by the group of elders, the new emperor abdicates and the fourteenth prince will inherit the throne!"
Welcome, these six powerful men are officially sitting in the palace, presiding over the overall situation!
They are all at the first level of martial arts. With the six of them in charge, they can't afford to cause too much trouble.
Then, rows of royal guards appeared in front of the new emperor.
As a member of the Royal Guards, your loyalty is to the new emperor.
These people were all trained by the New Emperor.
But Prime Minister Zuo laughed and walked towards the new emperor, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to leave. If you abdicate peacefully today, you may be able to live peacefully until your old age!"
"If you insist on resisting today, you will be doomed!"
Prime Minister Zuo's voice became louder and louder, and then he said sternly, "Zhou Yao, don't try to enlighten yourself!"
Zhou Yao is the name of the new emperor, but not many people know it.
This is a taboo for the venerable. This is the rule.
"Master Xu, I..."
The new emperor looked at Master Xu as if asking for help.
"Take shelter from the edge today!"
Master Xu said slowly, "Remember, you can keep the green hills and you won't have to worry about running out of firewood."
After saying that, Master Xu flew towards the sky. He wanted to negotiate with the six powerful men from the royal group of elders.
No matter what, a result must be negotiated.
Although, Master Xu has no hope for this result.
"Elders!"
Master Xu bowed his hand.
"Boy of the Xu family, we know that you are here to plead for Zhou Yao. But this is a rule set by the elders and cannot be changed." The elder said, "On your side, you are quite capable. If you remain neutral, continue You can become an official in the Zhou Dynasty."
"We can promise that your position will only get higher and higher! The newly appointed Fourteenth Prince will not punish you just because you are Zhou Yao's confidant!"
"Why!"
Master Xu sighed, the situation was such that he could not change it.
"No, I don't want to be an official in the court." Xu Master said slowly, "If His Majesty hadn't asked me, I might still be just a scholar."
"I come to see you now just to ask you to be kind to Your Majesty. After all, she was once the new emperor of the Zhou Dynasty and a member of the royal family."
The new emperor was a little tired.
I never expected that this day would come so quickly.
It should have been the death of the old general and the fall of Jiangshui County that contributed to this situation.
"Then Xu family boy, what are you going to do next?" the elder asked.
Master Xu is considered one of the current leaders of Confucianism and Taoism, and it is still necessary to win over him.
Even if you don't win over him, you can't let him go to other forces.
“Travel around!”
Master Xu said, "My eldest disciple Wu Rendi once had a long-cherished wish to travel a million miles. Today's situation is like this. Although I am a little disappointed, I don't feel sad anymore when I think of being able to accomplish another thing."
"Take care of yourself, you should understand what I mean."
At the last moment, the great elder bowed his hand towards Master Xu.
…
Today, Jingzhao Mansion, the Imperial Palace.
Changes occurred quietly.
The new emperor abdicated and was succeeded by the fourteenth prince Zhou Qian.
Changing the name of the country to Chang'an means to get through the difficulties and make the Zhou Dynasty Changan peaceful for a long time!
Chang'an Emperor Zhou Qian is three years younger than the new Emperor Zhou Yao, and is only sixteen or seventeen years old this year.
Looking at the ministers all over the court, I felt a little timid.
But when I think about it, I feel a little happy that I ascended the throne today.
"Prime Minister Zuo, Prime Minister Zuo!"
After Zhou Qian saw Prime Minister Zuo, he felt like a relative and said, "Hurry up and give Prime Minister Zuo a seat! Without Prime Minister Zuo, I would not be where I am today!"
"Old minister, I thank you, Your Majesty!"
Prime Minister Zuo also felt relieved.
He bet correctly!
In this firefight without smoke, he gained the upper hand.
"Your Majesty, now that Zhou Yao has abdicated and Master Xu has left, the position of the Supervisory Yuan in the imperial court cannot be left vacant." Prime Minister Zuo said slowly, "How about letting an old minister take charge of the Supervisory Yuan? Temporarily act as the acting president."
"Of course, if His Majesty has other candidates in mind, I will immediately give way to him!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone below understood.
This is a deal!
The Overwatch Council is the lifeblood. Controlling the Overwatch Council is equivalent to having control over the courtiers and officials.
Prime Minister Zuo recommended Zhou Qian to the top for this position.
"Hahaha, the left prime minister is naturally the most suitable candidate."
Zhou Gan laughed.
A trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
As soon as he ascended the throne today, the leftist prime minister came to ask for an official position.
If things continue like this, I'm afraid I will be manipulated by this leftist prime minister.
Although Zhou Qian is young, he is not stupid.
Since he is the new emperor, he must cultivate his own wings.
…
Royal palace, deep inside.
An area was separated here, which was regarded as a place for the new emperor Zhou Yao to live.
After Zhou Yao abdicated the throne, she was named Princess Yuzhen and stayed in this area.
You are not allowed to go out, you can only move around in this area, and you are not allowed to have contact with outsiders.
Even when the great scholar Xu Shi came, he had to go through layers of notifications.
Emperor Chang'an Zhou Qian felt that he could not be forced too hard, so he let Master Xu come in.
Of course, these are all spies planted by Zhou Qian, specifically to monitor Zhou Yao.
Therefore, Zhou Qian was not too worried.
"teacher!"
The moment she saw Master Xu, Zhou Yao smiled bitterly.
"Are you a little sad that I didn't take action?" Master Xu asked.
"No, the teacher can't change anything even if he fights to the death with the elders." Zhou Yao said with a smile, "It's just that I have a loose personality, and I am really a little disappointed when I am trapped here and lose my freedom."
"When I was the new emperor, I couldn't sleep every day, but last night I slept very deeply and very comfortably."
“When the burden on my shoulders is put down, I feel very relaxed!”
The situation is what it is and it's not up to her to decide.
It’s not something Master Xu can decide!
"That's good!"
Master Xu nodded.
"I'm here today to say goodbye to you. Starting from a few days ago, I will leave Jingzhao Mansion with your senior brother Wu Rendi and travel around the Zhou Dynasty." Master Xu smiled and said, "By the way, your senior brother accepted it. An apprentice named Liu Yuren!"
"As for me, I also have a maid to take care of my food and daily life."
"This time, the four of us are traveling together, planning to go north first to see the far north."
Zhou Yao said, "Why don't you go to Yiyun County and see your junior brother Lu Jiuzhang? I heard that his current situation is not good."
"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Isn't this the case for apprentices? He has his own things to do, and I don't have to bother him! Now that he has grown up, I should believe in him, just like I believed in you at the beginning." Master Xu said.
"Then the teacher must be very disappointed with me now!"
The new emperor Zhou Yao lowered his head.
"Hahaha, don't be sad. I know that you have done your best, and this is enough!" Master Xu stretched out his hand and patted Zhou Yao's shoulder, "Stay here with peace of mind, it's not the last moment yet! "
"The dragon lurking in the abyss will eventually rise to the top!" This chapter has been completed!
