Try to rebel today

Zhou Yao returned to the hinterland of Da Zhou.

He didn't directly rebel, nor did he hold the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, and directly suppressed the army. He was stuck in time and went to the imperial mausoleum.

February [-]th, this day, is the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is a day for offering sacrifices to the heaven and the emperor's mausoleum every year.

Zhou Yao chose to appear here, in front of all the ministers, to try the attitude of Emperor Zhou and Concubine Zhu, for everyone to see.

The distance was still far away, so he changed his clothes, put on the official clothes of the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and walked towards the imperial mausoleum with Lan Linchun, King Min, brothers Wang Ji and Wang Jia, and a group of guards...

Except for Lan Linchun, no one else in this team has entered the field of vision of the Great Zhou Palace. No matter how high their status is, no matter how powerful they are, no one else will know about it, and there is no risk.

Zhou Yao himself, although he is a proton, is still the prince of the Great Zhou. Even if he has no real power, no one can underestimate him. He has the qualifications to worship ancestors in the imperial tomb, and all guards cannot stop him.

Very smoothly, Zhou Yao took a group of guards and stabbed into the outer circle of the imperial tomb.

But you can only go here, you can't go any further.

Because someone blocked it.

Lan Linchun coughed from the side, pointed in the direction, and Zhou Yao saw Concubine Zhu who was coming in a hurry.

Concubine Zhu's surname is Zhu, and she also likes the color of vermilion. Now she is wearing a red dress, with gold threads flying around the cuffs and skirts. Under the sun, there are boundless bright colors, very dazzling.

Logically, she shouldn't be dressed like this.

First, the royal family has some rules, which are very similar to those of the folk, such as red, which can only be worn by the wife, and concubines who are first-rate, no matter how favored they are.The same goes for the royal family, the uniforms of concubines and queens are quite different, no matter how favored they are, no matter how high their status is, if they don't reach the position of queen, even if they are all Minghuang palace uniforms, there is still a big difference.As for red, it is even more taboo. You can’t wear it if you want to, and sometimes even if it’s not true red, similar colors are not acceptable.

Furthermore, what place and what scene is this?In the imperial mausoleum of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor of Zhou is offering sacrifices to his ancestors. In such a solemn and solemn environment, you wear a red dress...Don't talk about the rules, are you shameless?

Zhou Yao raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with a sarcastic smile.

It seems that for so many years, although Concubine Zhu Gui is old, she has always been favored by Emperor Zhou. Not only can she be taken with her at such times, but she can also wear it casually.

Concubine Zhu quickly walked in front of Zhou Yao, her eyebrows raised high, her face full of dissatisfaction.

"How did you come!"

Zhou Yao looked at Concubine Zhu.

In his 40s, he is well maintained, with a smooth forehead and a radiant face. There are a few fine lines around the corner of his eyes, and his overall condition looks very good.

Well, it's too good to be true.

This sneering, domineering demeanor is so obvious that he is proud of being favored!

None of the people around thought it was strange, they seemed to be used to it...

Before Zhou Yao came, he had read all kinds of news about Concubine Zhu from Tianjilou. This person who has played QQ for the past one or two years is very happy. He can make decisions on behalf of Emperor Zhou. Look, it's because she has been spoiled even more, she has long forgotten who she is, thinking that she can rule the world.

Zhou Yao felt more at ease.

He cupped his hands casually: "I don't know, where do I go, do I need to ask the imperial concubine to know?"

Concubine Zhu Gui had never been so rude before, and immediately said angrily: "Presumptuous! But I have been away for two years, and I don't know who I am anymore, and I have made such a mess with my palace? Kneel down!"

Zhou Yao laughed.

It's still the same.

Before, he was cowardly, powerless, and didn't even know who he was, so forget it, now, Concubine Zhu Gui still wants to manipulate him?

"Sorry, my surname is Zhou. This is the resting place of my ancestors. Except for the surname Zhou, I dare not kneel casually—" he said slowly, while cupping his hands in the direction of the imperial mausoleum, "I am afraid that my ancestors will blame me."

"you--"

Concubine Zhu Gui couldn't say anything else, because what she said was right, she really didn't have the slightest bit of taboo here at the Imperial Mausoleum of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

This one doesn’t work, so let’s talk about another: “It’s not good for you to be your proton in Wu, why did you come back secretly? If the Wu country is in trouble, do you know how much trouble it will bring to your father!”

"I haven't spoken yet, how does the imperial concubine know that I sneaked back?"

Since Zhou Yao dared to come back with a big stab, he definitely wouldn't miss his job.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, Lan Linchun sent over the prepared official document stamped with the Wu Guoyu Seal. Zhou Yao didn't turn his eyes, and unfolded: "The royal family of Wu Kingdom invited me back, no Pursuing responsibility, the imperial concubine and empress are here to stop me, and I have missed my meeting with the emperor, and there will be a lot of discussions, which will lead to disaster."

Concubine Zhu took a closer look at the jade seal, it was really true...

But she still refused to let go.

I don't know why, Zhou Yao is obviously a little transparent girl in the palace. She has also been weak since she was a child. Seeing him as displeasing to the eye, I hate him when I think about it, no matter when, I don't want to give him a good face.

"It's okay to go in and see the emperor—"

Concubine Zhu Gui squinted her eyes, and pointed to the people around him with her chin: "You go by yourself, and all the idlers waiting outside will wait outside!"

"I can't do that," Zhou Yao said with crooked eyebrows, a smile that was not a smile, "I, the imperial concubine, you know, I'm the most timid, and I've been trembling since I was a child. There are some things that I dare not do without being accompanied by anyone."

It was not on time at this time, and it was not the time for Emperor Zhou to conduct the mausoleum sacrifice ceremony. Except for the guards and Emperor Zhou who was going through the process, the others were relatively free. Soon, there were audiences here.

Concubine Zhu and the prince have different identities. People don't dare to look too far forward, they only dare to watch quietly from behind.

Wang Jia was the most gossipy, and quickly saw the crowd outside, and quietly coughed before covering her nose with her hand, reminding Zhou Yao.

Zhou Yao understood in his heart.

Just thinking about how to start the performance, and what kind of entry point to enter, Concubine Zhu Gui presented the opportunity.

"Your father is busy, if you need anything, please tell me first."

"Speak to you?" Zhou Yao raised his eyes, full of meaning, "Can you represent my father?"

Concubine Zhu Gui is used to being a representative at ordinary times, and she doesn't know how to give orders. This time, as usual, her chin was raised high, her eyes were determined and superior: "My palace's decision is your father's decision."

Zhou Yao narrowed his eyes, and after a while, he said, "I don't know when my surname was Zhu in the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

His words were out of tune, his voice was very loud, and the outside of the imperial mausoleum was so empty that he could almost hear it within a radius of [-] meters.

What hidden meaning is mixed in it, everyone can understand it.

Although Concubine Zhu Gui had this intention, she was really preparing for it, and felt that she had the ability, but after all, the Great Zhou Dynasty was still there, and the power had not yet been subverted. She dared to do this, but she dared not say so.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Da Zhou's surname is Zhou, when did he change his surname to Zhu!"

Zhou Yao's long eyebrows slanted up at the temples, and he slashed out as sharp as a sword: "My lady's decision is equivalent to my father's decision... What are you thinking in your heart, and you dare not admit it?"

Concubine Zhu squinted her eyes: "This is the Mausoleum of the Great Zhou Emperor. Your father is standing in front of the innermost altar. There are heavy soldiers on all sides. The minister-the second prince, I advise you to be careful when you speak, because you have angered your ancestors. At most, there will be a thunderbolt from the blue sky for you, and your father will be angered, so I'm afraid you won't be able to return to the palace properly today."

Zhou Yao laughed.

With his hands behind his back and his head held high, he smiled handsomely and elegantly, with boundless sarcasm.

"Do you know? Why can some people sit on the highest position and hold the power in the world?" He approached Concubine Zhu Gui, his voice lowered, "Because they are fearless in their hearts. After thinking about it and making a decision, they will do it without fear. People whose queens are afraid of tigers... Madam, that's where they sat."

"you--"

Without waiting for Concubine Zhu to speak, Zhou Yao rolled up his sleeves, and directly blocked her words by raising his voice: "Since the empress wants to hear so much, I can talk to you!"

"This time, as a proton, I traveled across the land of Chu and experienced some things. When I arrived in the land of Wu, I was loved by the royal family. I went to the country of Yue as an envoy. I have made several exchanges and gained a lot. The biggest thing is--what happened 20 years ago , know a lot."

Zhou Yao stared at Concubine Zhu Gui sternly: "Empress Jiang—I think the empress still remembers."

Concubine Zhu's heart skipped a beat, her eyes narrowed sharply, she gritted her teeth, and lowered her voice: "What do you want to say? This is the imperial tomb, so be careful what you say to me!"

"How did Empress Jiang die? Back then when the Turkic cavalry raided, and there was another palace change, what did the empress do inside? The civet cat was replaced by the prince-the empress seems to be familiar with this? How did the concubine Ke die? Are you still happy? The old eunuch next to the empress, the girl trained by her, is very capable, even dare to take care of the affairs of the imperial palace of Wudiyue Kingdom, the empress is too ambitious!"

He spoke in a high-pitched, rhythmic, clear and far-reaching voice, which was heard clearly by almost everyone present.

Every time he said a word, there seemed to be a slight gasp, and every time he said a word, it was like a heavy hammer being dropped in people's hearts.

Concubine Zhu Gui didn't expect him to be so angry. She pointed at Zhou Yao's nose and scolded, "Presumptuous! Your father asked you to be a proton, go to Wu to establish a relationship, and you will come back after learning these nonsense?"

Among these allegations, she did not do some things at all. Concubine Zhu Gui felt that she was very reasonable, and she responded very loudly.

Of course Zhou Yao knew that some things had nothing to do with Concubine Zhu, but the more things were better, the better.

When he came back this time, he did not intend to spare Concubine Zhu Gui, this woman must die, no matter what the name is!

He didn't retreat, nor spared Concubine Zhu Gui. He took a step forward, and his voice was louder than before: "Now you can directly represent my father, and your decision is my father's decision-my father is wise and powerful, governing Da Zhou has never made mistakes, and now because of you, I have to wonder, Concubine Zhu, did you use some special method to imprison and control my father, or did you give my father some kind of drug!"

This accusation is even more serious.

Concubine Zhu Gui was trembling with anger: "Bewitching words to confuse the crowd, what do you want to do!"

Obviously it was Emperor Zhou who doted on her and loved her, everything was given to her willingly by Emperor Zhou!

Zhou Yao's brows and eyes were sharp: "Who is it that is bewitching the public? I think everyone's eyes are sharp!"

……

Zhou Yao stood tall and tall, standing in front of the imperial mausoleum, never retreating a step, every sentence challenged the nerves of everyone present.

Concubine Zhu naturally denied it, but the more she denied it, the more agitated her expression became, the more suspicious she was.

No one present needs to think carefully, just look at the facts right now.

Concubine Zhu was not the only woman in Emperor Zhou's harem, and all the concubines were not pregnant, but there are only two living princes, one is King Heng, and the other is the second prince Zhou Yao. Even the child of Empress Jiang was born. Down is a stillborn.

Now the second prince said that Concubine Zhu would be replaced by a civet cat for the prince...then there might be problems with the prince's identity.

No wonder Concubine Zhu and King Heng were at odds in the past two years.

For more than ten years, Hengwang was the only one who was the crown prince in the court. In the past few days, he suddenly declined. On the contrary, Concubine Zhu was entrusted with a great task by Emperor Zhou. Memorials can be seen, major events can be decided, and sometimes, even surpass Zhou. The emperor ordered, and the emperor of Zhou knew about it afterwards. Not only did he not pursue it at all, but he also supported it very much.

Heng Wang is narrow-minded, and he was run away by Concubine Zhu Gui, and his ability is just like that, so it is difficult to take on a big responsibility.

The most eye-catching thing in the court at the moment is the relatives of the Zhu family. No matter who has a relationship with the Zhu family, they will be very popular. Those who are officials in the court will vote under the banner of Concubine Zhu, and they will rise steadily, and their future is limitless.

Emperor Zhou didn't say how wise and powerful he was. At least in his early years, he was wise and sharp. He never made a mistake in managing the government. It is impossible for him not to know the current situation of the court, but he just pretended not to see it. , by Concubine Zhu.

In the past, everyone was a bit confused and wondered if Emperor Zhou was playing some big moves. Today, when the second prince said it, everyone suddenly understood whether Concubine Zhu Gui really used some tricks!

How can a woman be allowed to be placed in such a high position, no matter how much she loves her, she can't do it any more. Emperor Zhou is sometimes a bit sloppy, but she's not like a faint king...

Feeling the more and more meaningful gazes around her, Concubine Zhu Gui trembled with anger: "Zhou Yao, do you want to piss off your father!"

Zhou Yao looked around, and his voice was very deliberate: "Where is my father, why didn't I see it?"

Concubine Zhu Gui hated her so much that she almost tore off her long armor.

At this time, Emperor Zhou came to rescue her.

Xu heard about the commotion outside, or someone who saw Concubine Zhu went back to ask for help. Emperor Zhou led his people and strode over: "Who is acting presumptuously outside!"

When Concubine Zhu saw Emperor Zhou coming, her eyes lit up, and she immediately rushed over with the corners of her skirt: "Your Majesty—the second prince slandered my concubine, scolding my concubine so bitterly, I beg your majesty to make decisions for my concubine—"

It's not too strange for a woman in her 40s to act coquettishly and foolishly, since she is a concubine after all.

But for decades, the emperor still insists on this...it's a bit subtle.

Everyone looked at Emperor Zhou holding Concubine Zhu Gui in his arms and softly comforting her, his expression and demeanor were not fake... It was rare that they didn't have any thoughts in their hearts.

There were those familiar ones, who quietly glanced aside and exchanged glances with each other.

Everyone understands the inferiority of men, who doesn't love new things, and likes girls with good colors?Being together for decades is affection, but if you say how much you love, how much you love, how much you want to go to bed, that's a lie.

At Concubine Zhu Gui's age, Emperor Zhou still treats her like a little girl, so how could it be okay?

Of course, it is not that there is no such thing as true love in this world, but it is rare to see it in the emperor, and everyone refuses to think of this extremely low possibility.

After comforting Concubine Zhu, Emperor Zhou narrowed his eyes when he saw Zhou Yao, and said in a very bad tone, "What are you doing here?"

Zhou Yao knelt down, earnestly and meticulously saluted Emperor Zhou, with a solemn expression: "Your servants come to sacrifice to the mausoleum with the emperor."

Concubine Zhu immediately exploded: "That's not what you said just now! You accused me of framing Empress Jiang 20 years ago for no reason, saying that the Turkic cavalry and the palace change were caused by me! You also said that I meddled in the internal affairs of other countries with the intention Murder the emperor!"

"So, did your mother do these things?" Zhou Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, "If you didn't do it, why are you so nervous?"

No matter how wronged Concubine Zhu was, she bit her lips, her eyes were red, and she was about to wipe away her tears: "Your Majesty, look at him!"

Emperor Zhou looked at Zhou Yao, and his expression darkened immediately.
