The Eighth Sage King Zhou Xian hurried back to the clan mansion, and immediately walked into a pavilion in the deepest part of the clan mansion.

This pavilion is the Cangwu Building of the Zongren Mansion.

There are many classics of exercises collected in it.

This Tibetan martial arts building is also the most important place in the clan mansion.

Zhou Rushan, the god of Dinghai of the royal family, usually sits in this Tibetan martial arts building.

"Old Ancestor."

The Eighth Wise King, Zhou Xian, walked into the Zangwu Building, saw Zhou Rushan lying on the reclining chair at the door, stepped forward and called out respectfully.

"What is it?"

Zhou Rushan asked lightly.

Lying lazily on the chair, he didn't open his closed eyes.

A half-step celestial being like Zhou Rushan knows who is coming even if he doesn't open his eyes.

"The king of Shu colluded with the Yuan family and the Zheng family to usurp the throne."

"The Yuan family and the Zheng family have already arrived in Luoyang, and Yuan Tianshu has also entered Luoyang."

"Your Majesty has decreed that all the masters of the royal family must be deployed to destroy the Yuan and Zheng families. There must be no mistakes."

The Eight Sage King Zhou Xian bowed and said.

Zhou Rushan on the recliner heard the words, still closed his eyes, lying there quietly, without any emotional fluctuations.

It seems that the shocking news that King Zhou Zhi of Shu colluded with the Yuan family to usurp the throne is very common in Zhou Rushan's place.

It didn't cause Zhou Rushan much shock or surprise.

In fact, it is true.

At the level of Zhou Rushan and his ancestors, there are very few things that can cause their emotions to fluctuate.

Zhou Zhi, King of Shu, colluded with the Yuan family and they wanted to usurp the throne.

Perhaps shocked.

But to Zhou Rushan, it was just an ordinary news to listen to.

"Has that old fellow Yuan Tianshu come to Luoyang?"

"Also."

"Before you die, it would be nice to see this old guy again."

After a while.

Zhou Rushan opened his eyes and said quietly.

After being plotted and injured by Huang Tianjiao, Li Chengjiao, and the others in Xi'an Mansion last time, Zhou Rushan's already limited lifespan decreased a lot.

Zhou Rushan knew that his time was running out.

If he could pull someone down to explore the way before he died, it would be considered as a last resort for the royal family.

The Eight Sage King Zhou Xian looked a little hesitant.

"what are you worried about?"

Zhou Rushan glanced at the hesitant expression of Eight Sage King Zhou Xian, and asked an old question.

"Old Ancestor, once the King of Shu incident happens, will the matter between His Majesty and the Queen Mother..."

The Eighth Sage King Zhou Xian did not continue.

But Zhou Rushan understood what the Eight Sage King Zhou Xian meant.

Zhou Rushan pondered for a moment, then said, "This is not something we should worry about."

"That boy Zhou Chen is no longer the Zhou Chen he used to be. Even if he knows, he can handle it by himself."

Zhou Rushan glanced at the Eight Sage King Zhou Xian and waved his hand.

"Go and inform those in the royal family!"

"My royal family has not made a move for a long time, and many people have forgotten what the surname of this great Zhou is."

"Dare to participate in the matter of my royal family's throne, do you really think they have that qualification?"

After speaking, Zhou Rushan closed his eyes again.

Seeing that Zhou Rushan closed his eyes, the Eighth Wise King, Zhou Xian, left the pavilion tactfully.

...

Shu Palace.

In the meeting hall.

The King of Shu sat on the main seat, looking at Ji Wusheng with a dusty face below, the joy on his face was undisguised.

All plans are about to start.

Zhou Zhi originally thought that Ji Wusheng would not be able to catch up.

Unexpectedly, before the plan started, Ji Wusheng still rushed over.

This made Zhou Zhi relax a lot.

With the right-hand man who has a plan but no life, Zhou Zhi at least feels more at ease in his heart.

"Ji Wusheng, this king thought you would not be able to catch up."

"Unexpectedly, you came at just the right time."

"With you, a wise man, by my side, this king can rest assured."

Zhou Zhi looked at Ji Wusheng and said with a smile.

"My lord, I have something very important to say."

Ji Wusheng didn't have Zhou Zhi's smile, but looked at Zhou Zhi on the main seat with a tense face and said.

oh!

Zhou Zhi was taken aback.

Ji Wusheng has been with him for so many years, Zhou Zhi has never seen such a tense and serious expression of Ji Wusheng.

Could it be that something happened?

Zhou Zhi also put away his smile, looked at Ji Wusheng and frowned, "Ji Wusheng, did something happen?"

Ji Wusheng didn't dare to be negligent, and said hastily, "My lord, Dongchang sent people to secretly investigate everything in Shu and the matter of your lord."

"I also read the news that the prince gave me."

"Your Majesty investigated the Household Department, took down the Minister of Household Department, and ordered to kill Jiexiu Fan's family. This situation is wrong."

"I estimate that His Majesty may already know what the prince and the three great families are planning."

"Your Majesty is using this as an excuse to stabilize the situation, take the opportunity to eliminate the influence of the three aristocratic families in the court, and then defeat them one by one."

Ji Wusheng spoke out his deduction in one breath.

He rushed to Luoyang non-stop from Shu, just to tell Zhou Zhi the news in time before Zhou Zhi planned to do it.

Fortunately, before Zhou Zhi could do anything, he rushed over.

Otherwise, if Zhou Zhi made a move, it would be too late.

"What did you say?"

"Dongchang is secretly investigating the king in Shu?"

Zhou Zhi's expression changed, and he stood up directly.

Zhou Zhi never expected that Dongchang would send someone to the land of Shu to secretly investigate him, the King of Shu.

What Zhou Zhi didn't expect was that Ji Wusheng's speculation simply shocked him and made him feel at a loss.

"you sure?"

Zhou Zhi looked straight at Ji Wusheng, and confirmed again and again.

If what Ji Wusheng said is true, then there will be big troubles.

Ji Wusheng nodded; "I have already left all the people that Dongchang secretly investigated in Sichuan."

"I came to Luoyang non-stop just to tell the prince this."

"My guess is absolutely 80% sure."

Ji Wusheng said very seriously.

Eighty percent sure?

Hearing Ji Wusheng's words, Zhou Zhi's face was a little flustered.

As Ji Wusheng is his right-hand man, Zhou Zhi naturally knows Ji Wusheng's ability better than anyone else.

Since Ji Wusheng said that he is 80% sure, then this matter is absolutely inseparable.

"How can it be?"

"How could he know the plans of this king and the three great families?"

Zhou Zhi was shocked.

Although Zhou Zhi couldn't believe it was true.

But some of the facts at the moment can no longer tolerate Zhou Zhi's doubts.

First, the Minister of the Household Department was taken down, and Jiexiu's Fan family was ordered to be destroyed.

Then, the house of the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment was confiscated, and most of the officials of the three major families in the court were cleaned up.

Is this really just an investigation of the household department or Zhou Chen, the emperor, who wants to deal with the three great families for the sake of the grand master?

Before, Zhou Zhi thought it was Zhou Chen, the emperor, who was dealing with the three great families because of the grand master's affairs, and he didn't know what the three great families were planning with him.

But now, after Ji Wusheng's speculation and reminder.

Only then did Zhou Zhi realize that he was too confident.

In addition, Dongchang sent people to Shu to secretly investigate him, the king of Shu, which already showed that Ji Wusheng's speculation was correct.

His imperial brother already knew what he was planning with the three great families.

This is the reason for checking the household department to clean up the power of the three major families, the household department minister and the punishment department minister, in the court.

I'm afraid that that day in the Palace of Compassionate Ning, his imperial brother told him the secret of Grand Master Wen Zhong's death in battle, and it was also intentional.

The purpose is to confuse the public.

In an instant, Zhou Zhi figured everything out.

Zhou Zhi's resourcefulness is not low.

Judging from the previous calculations of those things in the palace, it can be seen that Zhou Zhi's calculations are deeper than that of Xiaoyao Wang Zhou Qian.

But Zhou Zhi, who was so calculating, couldn't help but feel chills all over after thinking through all these things.

Zhou Zhi never really put Zhou Chen in his eyes.

In Zhou Zhi's view, Zhou Chen was lucky enough to get that position.

It is necessary to use ability and calculation.

Zhou Chen is not even a star behind his younger brother.

But now after this incident, Zhou Zhi realized that comparing him with Zhou Chen was nothing but a big deal.

His calculations are the pawns of small calculations, while Zhou Chen is the master of the layout.

From the beginning to the end, on Zhou Chen's chessboard, he, the king of Shu, was like a clown, jumping around.

Zhou Zhi walked back and forth in a panic.

Now, his imperial brother has known about his plans with the three great families.

Needless to say, their every move might not be hidden from his imperial brother.

What should I do now?

Zhou Zhi's brain was running fast.

After walking back and forth a few times, Zhou Zhi raised his eyes to look at Ji Wusheng; "Ji Wusheng, since you speculate that Brother Huang already knows about our plan."

"Then tell me, what shall we do next?"

"The staff of the three great families have all arrived in Luoyang."

"Everything is planned and ready to go."

"At this time, is there any other way?"

Zhou Zhi looked at Ji Wusheng, a little anxious.

I originally thought that no one knew about it.

But I didn't expect that I didn't hide it from others at all.

This made Zhou Zhi, who has always been calm and wise, suddenly lose his sense of control.

Ji Wusheng pondered for a moment, then said, "My lord, the arrow is on the string now, I have to do it, there is no room for turning back."

"The only reason your majesty didn't move the prince immediately is because your majesty didn't want to cause too much turmoil, and wanted to clean up the power of the three great families in the court first."

"Because His Majesty doesn't know that the prince has seen through these things, he will act immediately."

"Cao Zhengchun and Lu Bu are gone in Luoyang, maybe there is still a chance."

"Otherwise, the longer it is delayed, the less hopeful it will be."

Ji Wusheng also felt it was tricky.

However, no matter how difficult it is, Ji Wusheng also knows that there is no way out for the current situation.

Even if they don't do it, the one in the palace will not let them go.

When the one in the palace clears up the power of the three great families in the court, then they will have no hope.

Therefore, there is only one way to go now, and that is to do it immediately, and maybe there will be a result.

Hearing Ji Wusheng's words, Zhou Zhi sat down on the chair in the main seat again.

After the initial panic, Zhou Zhi gradually recovered his composure.

Zhou Zhi frowned in thought.

Zhou Zhi knew that what Ji Wusheng said was correct, and now they had no way out.

Extending the head is a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife.

Only by giving it a go, will you have a chance to die and survive.

Otherwise, there is only one end for them.

That is death.

Zhou Zhi didn't know what kind of arrangements his imperial brother had for them after he knew about his plans with the three great families.

But as long as Cao Zhengchun and Lu Bu are not around, there is great hope for their plans.

Zhou Zhi didn't believe that Zhou Chen's hole cards could turn out a half-step heavenly man like Lu Bu and Cao Zhengchun.

You know, such a half-step celestial being is not a Chinese cabbage.

Zhou Zhi looked at Ji Wusheng, and said solemnly; "Ji Wusheng, since my brother already knows about our plan, he must be prepared."

"I don't need to say more, you should know that this matter is related to the life and death of all of us."

"What strategy do you have to teach me?"

Zhou Zhi looked at Ji Wusheng.

Ji Wusheng immediately cupped his hands and said, "My lord, there have been some accidents in the previous plan, and some changes must be made immediately."

"Also ask the prince to tell all the arrangements."

"I will check and fill in the gaps for the prince, and make more preparations."

After Zhou Zhi heard the words, he nodded and told all his arrangements without hiding anything.

...

Compassion Palace.

After listening to the old eunuch's words, the queen mother sat softly on the chair, her face turned pale for a long time, and then she managed to stabilize her mind.

This is also the ups and downs of the empress dowager's harem for many years, which has already experienced many storms and waves.

If it were someone else, it might not be possible to regain composure so quickly.

The Empress Dowager's complexion kept changing, frowning and thinking about what to do about this matter.

The Empress Dowager knew what Zhou Zhi, king of Shu, had done.

Whether it is colluding with the prime minister and the wealthy family to rebel.

It was still related to the poisonous incidents in the palace.

Both are capital crimes enough to kill several heads.

But the queen mother couldn't just watch Shu king Zhou Zhi die.

Because Zhou Zhi, king of Shu, is her son, her favorite son.

As a queen mother, how could the queen mother watch her son die.

Therefore, the queen mother must find a way to save the life of King Zhou Zhi of Shu.

In this case, it is not so easy to save the life of King Zhou Zhi of Shu.

For this point, the Queen Mother knew better than anyone else.

After contemplating for a moment, the queen mother looked at the old eunuch kneeling on the ground; "No tongue, get ready right away, the Ai family has to leave the palace and go to the Shu Palace immediately."

"As for your matter, we will deal with it after Ai's family comes back."

The queen mother looked at the old eunuch kneeling on the ground, and said coldly.

In the queen mother's heart, the old eunuch is already a dead person.

Not to mention the fact that the old eunuch dared to get involved in the rebellion and the poisonous things in the palace, just because the old eunuch dared to hide it from her master, the queen mother has already sentenced the old eunuch to death.

As a domestic slave, daring to expire as a master is an act of courting death in itself.

No master can tolerate such things as his slaves daring to expire themselves.

"Yes, Queen Mother."

The old eunuch didn't suffer any injuries after being given a cup of tea by the queen mother.

The old eunuch got up quickly and went to prepare.
