The Zhou family seems to control most of the government affairs in Kyushu, and important officials from all over Kyushu have placed their own people. However, once Daji abdicates and dies, the Zhou family will be the target of public criticism.

Without the background behind them to suppress them, how can the Zhou family face all the major forces in the world? How can they face the intimidation of the imperial court?

The banquet was served, and Yu Qi and Zhou Peng were drinking. At this time, Zhou Peng kept vomiting bitterness.

"Hahaha, I know the plight of my brother, so I sent him a way to resolve the disaster." Yu Qi pointed to the boy beside him who was sitting respectfully, as if he were a dull boy.

"The way to resolve the disaster? Him?" Zhou Peng looked at the young man up and down, and saw that the young man was as skinny as a stick, and he looked like he was malnourished. He was a suffering person who had been hungry for a long time and could not eat enough.

Can this young man resolve the Zhou family's calamity?

As if seeing the confusion in Zhou Peng's eyes, Yu Qi smiled softly: "This person is the only direct bloodline of the human prince Xin Liu in the world."

"Pah!" The wine glass fell on the table. Zhou Peng stood up excitedly. He looked at the skinny boy in front of him seriously with a pair of eyes, and there was a bit of surprise in his eyes: "I can't tell."

"What do you mean, brother?" Zhou Peng looked at each other with his eyes.

"Whether your Zhou family can preserve its glory and wealth in the future depends on him." Yu Qi said with a smile.

His words had two meanings. The first was to ask Zhou Peng to treat the young man well. The second was to tell Zhou Peng that it would be a foregone conclusion to return to power and business in the future.

As long as Zhou Peng is not a fool, he should know what to do.

"I understand." Zhou Peng picked up the wine glass again and bowed respectfully to Yu Qi: "Thank you, brother."

Yu Qi accepted Zhou Peng's courtesy, and then looked at the young man: "Cai Chen, are you willing to recognize Mr. Zhou as your father?"

Although his tone was inquiring, there was an affirmation in his words.

"Student is willing!" The young man saluted respectfully.

"A boy can be taught." Yu Qi nodded and looked at Zhou Peng with his eyes: "He will be your biological son left behind in the future."

"You should strictly follow your brother's teachings." Zhou Peng said.

"In this way, the fate between you and me has been fulfilled. No matter what happened today, you must not reveal even half of it to anyone." After saying this, Yu Qi disappeared into the breeze, only the warm wine cup still exuded the fragrance.

Creamy aroma.

Time flies so quickly

another ten years

The Zhou family became more and more prosperous, and the vehicles and vehicles entering and exiting were all guarded by the Emperor and the Prince. Zhou Qingshan became more and more unscrupulous, constantly intervening in the government affairs crazily, and extended his hand to the army.

In the same year, the crown prince of the Zhou family, Zhou Qingshan's legitimate son Zhou Wen, commonly known as the little prince, burned down the Confucian Temple and burned the sculpture of the most holy teacher in the center of the capital.

The fire was rolling ten feet high and lighting up half of the sky above Beijing.

Another year

The prince of the Zhou family is recruiting people among the people

Ouchi deep palace

The old Daji sat quietly at the top of the Star Building, looking at the blazing flames, her eyes filled with calmness.

At this moment, all the gods in the world are focusing their attention on Shangjing City. The statue of Yu Qi was actually burned by the young prince of the Zhou family. No matter what the reason was, everyone in the world would scold him and break his spine.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Fei Zhong hurriedly came to the house and bowed respectfully to the old figure: "Your Majesty, something big has happened. The young prince burned down the temple of the most holy teacher. I'm afraid that everyone in the world will kill Zhou."

Those who are scolded will never be reborn, and saliva can drown people."

"You are an insignificant thing. How dare you touch the Nine-Five Supreme Being with such a good deed?" The sound of the tea cup breaking echoed in the hall.

"It doesn't matter if he burns it! It doesn't matter if he burns it! I haven't seen him for decades. If I burn the temple, I will have an excuse to see him." Daji slowly closed her eyes: "Who will take action?

Calculating?"

"Yi Xi set fire to the restaurant and kept attacking her heart. The young prince couldn't stand it, so he had no choice but to do it." Fei Zhong shook his head.

"This attack has revealed the truth, and the Zhou family has no chance of ever getting involved in the throne." Daji sighed.

If Yu Qi is angry, or chooses to impose punishment, or makes various statements, it can all explain his attitude.

His family's golden statue was burned, but Yu Qi didn't make any statement, which was enough for the major families to see something.

Those who can hang out in the court are all smart people, and all of them are veterans.

another four and a half years

Ouchi deep palace

"How many years do I have left?" Daji was still sitting in that position, as if she had not moved in the past four years.

"Half a year." Ji Fa sighed.

"You can go, you and I will be clear about cause and effect." Daji said.

Ji Fa hesitated for a moment after hearing the words, and then he didn't say anything more, just turned and left.

"Has the temple of the Holy Master been built yet?" Daji asked again.

"It's done." Fei Zhong said.

Daji pondered for a while, and then said after a while: "You two brothers have been with me for more than ten years, and they have worked hard and made great achievements. If I leave one day, the princes in the court will never let you go."

"Please give me some enlightenment." You Hun came out from the corner of the hall and bowed respectfully to Daji.

"There is a young master in Zhou Peng's house. You might as well go and join him." Daji said.

She has a true Phoenix, what can she hide from him?

After hearing this, Fei Zhong and You Hun hesitated for a moment, then bowed respectfully to Daji: "Thank you, empress."

"From now on, I will go to the Temple of the Holy Master. By the way, you should let go of all the three thousand male favorites in the harem." Daji said: "Kick them out of the palace."

After speaking, Daji stood up tremblingly and walked down the pavilion: "Please Kong Xuan come to see me."

Temple of the Holy Master

Looking at the magnificent temple with fine carvings and gilding, Daji waved her hand to the guards to leave, and then walked into the temple alone.

There is only one sculpture in the temple, standing quietly in the palace, quietly looking at the sky in the distance, seeming to take in the mountains and rivers of Kyushu.

"It's not similar at all." Daji just said after staring at the sculpture for a while.

The entire hall was empty, except for a little incense lingering in the air.

Daji did not speak, but slowly lit an incense stick, and then slowly placed it in front of the sculpture. She looked at the sculpture quietly with a pair of cloudy eyes and remained silent for a long time.

"Your Majesty, Commander Kong Xuan is here." A voice came from outside the door.

"Please come in, Marshal Kong," Daji said.

The sound of footsteps spread, and Kong Xuan was seen arriving in the main hall. He cupped his fists and saluted Daji: "I have met the king."

"There is no need to be polite to a dying person."

After speaking, Daji slowly turned around, looked at Kong Xuan with her eyes, and sighed: "I have wronged you all these hundred years, and I have wronged everyone in the world to act with me."

Kong Xuan lowered his head and said nothing.

In the eyes of these immortal old monsters, the world is just a game. Nothing more.

This is the difference between mortals and immortals.

This is the fundamental difference in life.

"This edict is left to you. If I die in the future, you can just read it directly." Daji said.

Kong Xuan took the edict without opening it, but turned around and retreated.

When Kong Xuan left, Daji seemed to have had her bones removed. She lay limply on the ground and stared blankly at the statue in mid-air, with a trace of dementia in her eyes. After a long time, two lines of muddy tears fell down: "After all, I was wrong.

.”

"From now on, we are separated from each other, and we never see each other. All the causes and effects between you and me are solved from today, and there will be no more entanglements in life after life." After saying these words, Daji slowly sat on the futon, curled up into a ball, and

Like a child huddled up in the cold winter, recalling the warmth in his mother's arms.

"You are not wrong, I am not wrong, no one is wrong, it's just fate." A voice sounded in the hall, and Yu Qi appeared behind Daji at some point.

"Yu Qi! I heard your voice. Could I be dreaming?" Daji turned around and scanned the distance with her eyes. When she saw the familiar figure, a line of clear tears fell from the corner of her eyes.

"Of course it's not a dream." Yu Qi looked at the old Daji with a hint of emotion in his eyes: "To this day, what do you think of Miss?"

“Wang Tu’s talk and laughter about his hegemony are worse than the drunkenness in the world.” Daji’s voice was full of lamentation: “In the face of life and death, love, hate, love and hatred are all false, all illusions.”

"You should look away." Yu Qi shook his head and slowly sat down opposite Daji.

"I only hate that I don't have enough cultivation. I have always been a pawn in the hands of these high-ranking people. If one day I am allowed to cultivate great supernatural powers and human power, I will have the gods and humans to come down, destroy all laws, create dusk, and fall into the world.

Everything in this world is sacred." There was unforgettable hatred in Daji's eyes.

In this majestic situation, what could she, a weak woman, do wrong?

She was forced to be sent to the palace, what could she do?

What can I do if I am used as a pawn by Xibohou and the Nine-tailed Fox?

Yu Qi sighed: "I have a volume of sutra "Vajra". I will recite it to you today. If you can understand it, it will not be in vain for me to enlighten you, nor will it be in vain for you and me to have a good relationship."

Not bad, enlightenment!
