"That's great." The old chef looked excited. He even knew better than Shangguan Shiyu and Ji Yuyan what level Qin Li's strength had reached. If Qin Li helped, he believed that he would be rewarded the most in his life.
Hatred is not a difficult thing
Next, Zhou Wufeng told Qin Li in detail about his past events.
The person who usurped the throne of Zhou Wufeng was named Zhou Wuqing. He was a concubine prince in the royal family and Zhou Wufeng's half-brother.
Zhou Wuqing's mother had a very low status. She was just a beautiful palace maid. After being favored by Zhou Wufeng's father, she became pregnant with a dragon and gave birth to a baby boy.
This kind of thing is also very common in the royal family, but after this baby boy was born, he had excellent talents, was loved very much, and his strength improved very quickly.
Moreover, Zhou Wufeng's younger brother is very smooth in dealing with people. He has shown a strong political talent since he was a child. His talent in this area is even many times better than his cultivation.
So much so that Zhou Wufeng's father, His Majesty the late Emperor of the Great Zhou Royal Family, once said that if Zhou Wuqing's mother had even a little bit of family background, she would have made Zhou Qingqing the crown prince, because this child was so outstanding.
These words were accidentally spoken by Zhou Wufeng's father after he was drunk. Soon, these words reached Zhou Wuqing's ears and spread throughout the palace.
After sobering up, His Majesty the Emperor felt very embarrassed. At that time, many important officials in the court, military representatives, Zhou Wufeng's mother, and people from the Queen's family all reacted very strongly and asked His Majesty the Emperor to explain clearly what this sentence meant.
What no one expected at that time was that the young Zhou Qingqing made an astonishing move. The teenage Zhou Wuqing took off his upper body clothes and knelt down in front of the palace gate to plead guilty with Jing Tiao behind his back.
He said that his father made a blunder after drinking because he was an unfilial son, and the son should bear the blame. If this doesn't work, then kill him. In this way, no one will ever be disobedient to his father's words.
No mercy
This incident caused a great sensation at the time. Countless people praised the prince's filial piety and would rather die than embarrass his father.
At that time, the interest groups headed by the Queen's family had no choice but to give up. Who would really want to meet a teenage child?
It’s not enough to be laughed at if it gets out.
But what no one expected was that Zhou Wuqing, who was only a teenager at the time, secretly swore in his heart when he experienced this storm: If he could survive this time, he would definitely take charge of the imperial power of the Zhou Dynasty in the future.
Therefore, after the storm subsided, Zhou Wuwu began to practice desperately while staying away from the court, pretending that he did not dare to compete with Zhou Wufeng for the throne.
Zhou Wufeng has many brothers and sisters, but there are only three or five who are capable and qualified to inherit the throne.
Among them, Zhou Wufeng's status is extremely noble. He is the prince himself, his mother is the queen of the dynasty, and she is the biological sister of the emperor of the Shang Dynasty at that time.
Although the three ancient banquet dynasties have mutual agreements, they will never allow interference in each other's internal affairs. Even if a coup occurs, others will not be allowed to interfere unless there is the danger of a change of dynasty.
This ancient agreement has been made since ancient times, and no one has ever violated it. But even so, Zhou Wufeng's extremely noble status cannot be shaken by anyone.
Moreover, Zhou Wufeng is also a very outstanding royal child, he is not bad in all aspects.
After Zhou Wufeng's father reached the level of Earth Immortal, he gave way to Zhou Wufeng, and he went into seclusion. Zhou Wufeng sat on the throne for a total of seventy-one years.
During these seventy-one years, the Great Zhou Kingdom had a peaceful and prosperous state. Although Zhou Wufeng indulged himself in cultivation, he did not completely let go of government affairs, and he could be said to be a diligent emperor.
There is only one thing that Zhou Wufeng regrets most in his life, and it is also the only thing Zhou Wufeng did wrong.
That is, he dared to use his half-brother. If Zhou Qingqing had not made this decision, I am afraid that to this day, Zhou Wufeng would still be the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom. His strength might not be as strong as it is now, but he would not have experienced so much.
Even if there are ups and downs, people will not become so vicissitudes of life.
Zhou Wufeng appointed Zhou Qingqing as the Grand Marshal of the Zhou Kingdom. To be fair, Zhou Wuqing definitely has this ability. If he had no other intentions, he would be a very outstanding general.
When Zhou Wufeng ascended the throne for the eleventh year, he activated Zhou Qingqing, and Zhou Qingqing spent years running a huge network. Not only did he firmly hold the general power in his hands, but also the entire palace had an overwhelming number of people.
Most people who were bribed by him, including many high-status members of the royal family, began to turn against Zhou Qingqing.
By the time Zhou Wufeng, who was immersed in cultivation, found out, he was already helpless. Moreover, Zhou Wuqing reacted quickly and struck very hard. He directly sent out all the earthly immortals in his hands, a total of more than 130 people, to attack Zhou Wufeng.
, wanting to kill Zhou Wufeng with one blow
However, he was still able to escape by Zhou Wufeng. Zhou Wufeng had already obtained the ancient map at that time, and that ancient map was presented by Zhou Wuqing in order to make Zhou Wufeng more immersed in cultivation.
In this way, Zhou Wufeng was forced to leave Donghuang and come to Zhongzhou. The killers have been chasing him to Zhongzhou for many years.
After Zhou Qingqing finished these things, he led his troops directly into the imperial capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom. He said that he had received news that someone wanted to assassinate the emperor, and surrounded the entire imperial capital and the palace.
At this point, there is no room for maneuver. Even if some people in the royal family clearly see Zhou Qingqing's ambition, they have no other way. Besides, Zhou Wuqing is also of royal blood, and his mother's status is lower. But at this time, who can still
Are you going to get into trouble?
In this way, the old chef stayed in Zhongzhou for hundreds of years, first at the Saintess Lakeside. After recovering from his injury, he took the picture and prepared to leave the Saintess Lakeside with Leng Qingmei, because he had learned from Leng Qingmei's body.
, seeing the shadow of himself in the past, Leng Qingmei was a million miles away from the person he was back then, so the old chef wanted to take Leng Qingmei away from the shore of the Saint Lady Lake, and did not want her to get involved in political struggles.
It's a pity that Leng Qingmei didn't think so at that time, and the old chef also left the shore of Saint Lady Lake in anger and searched for the ancient ruins marked on the ancient map alone.
At that ancient ruins, the old chef experienced the second major turning point in his life. In the battle for the ancient scriptures, he was seriously injured again, but he escaped, not far from the ancient ruins.
He stayed in the small town for more than ten years until he met Qin Li
It can be said that if he hadn't met Shang Guangming today and talked about things in Donghuang, I am afraid that Zhou Wufeng, who has become the old chef, the former emperor of the ancient dynasty, would not have thought of going back to see or think about it.
Going back for revenge
Because of this incident, hundreds of years have passed. Zhou Qingqing was an extremely outstanding person in those days. After hundreds of years of management, if he still can't manage the Zhou Dynasty in a monolithic way, that would be hell.
The Zhou Dynasty, like the Shang Dynasty and the Xia Dynasty, had an ancient rule: as long as the emperor abdicates the throne and enters a retreat to practice, he is no longer allowed to interfere with any development of the country. Even if a palace coup is launched, as long as there is no change of dynasty, as long as the emperor remains the same.
When the children of the imperial family inherit the throne, those overlords are not allowed to interfere.
The purpose of this rule is obvious, which is to prevent the situation of one country and two masters. After all, power is also very mysterious. Not everyone can be so open-minded and not take power seriously.
People who have just stepped down from the throne will inevitably feel disappointed in their hearts. If they are allowed to point fingers at the imperial government at this time, the country will inevitably fall into civil strife.
But what Shang Guangming said without knowing whether it was true or not made Zhou Wufeng tempted. He really hated Zhou Wuqing. He regarded him as a brother, but the other party never regarded him as a brother.
Not only did they drive him down from the throne, but they also wanted to kill him. Zhou Wufeng even suspected that the ancient maps he met at the ancient ruins of those strong men that year were most likely from Zhou Dynasty.
flowed out from ruthless hands
Otherwise, how come there are so many people who own ancient maps? This is just like a joke
But for the sake of the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Wufeng decided to endure it. As long as Zhou Qingqing could make the Great Zhou Kingdom better, he would accept it. Anyway, he himself did not have much attachment to power.
As long as Zhou Qingqing can be kind to his descendants and can work hard to make the great Zhou country good, Zhou Wufeng would rather suppress this unforgettable hatred in his heart and bury it deep in his soul, not thinking about it or remembering it. But Shang Guangming said
Zhou Wuqing imposed excessive taxes and made the people of the Zhou Dynasty miserable.
Zhou Wufeng's heart suddenly became angry and thought that no matter what, he would go back and take a look.
Qin Li had a banquet prepared, and he and Zhou Wufeng drank and chatted. In the end, Zhou Wufeng, who had regained his former appearance, had a look of ferociousness on his handsome and elegant face.
"Master, when I go back this time, if it is true as I told Shang Guangming that Zhou Wuqing will mess up the great Zhou Kingdom, then I will definitely avenge this."
Qin Li nodded and said: "It should be so." The old chef raised his head and drank a glass of wine. There was a look of nostalgia in his eyes, and he sighed softly: "I was too selfish in the past and only considered myself.
Do you know if my children will particularly hate me as their father?"
Qin Li smiled faintly: "It's normal to hate you...", but he thought of his cheap father Qin Wenxuan. Wasn't that the case back then?
