Chapter 103 Tool Man

A group of guards walked around the carriage, escorting the carriage to the entrance of the palace.

At this time, many officials were coming in and out at the entrance of the palace.

When they saw the carriage, the officials quickly saluted, as if they all knew who was in the carriage?

"parking!"

Suddenly, a man's voice came from the carriage.

The carriage came to an abrupt stop, and then a thin, middle-aged man stepped out of the carriage.

"I have met His Highness Prince Yu."

All the officials quickly greeted him in unison.

It turns out that this emaciated man is King Yu who used the sword madness to assassinate Zhou Yuniang.

Prince Yu ignored anyone and walked straight through the officials and walked up to Zhao Mu: "Greetings, sir."

The officials were very surprised.

Who is this person that can actually make the dignified King Yu be so respectful?

Zhao Mu turned around and asked, "Do you know me?"

"I know you. Xiao Wang was recruited into the palace by the Queen a few years ago to give lectures. He once met Mr. Chu Ying from a distance. His demeanor was heart-breaking and will never be forgotten."

"Haha, Prince Yu is really good at talking. Why did you stop me?"

"Xiao Wang wants to apologize to sir."

King Yu raised his hands and bowed respectfully to Zhao Mu again: "Back then, the little king didn't know the heights of the world, and he actually tried to assassinate the queen with the help of a swordsman. It is really an unforgivable crime. Please punish me, sir."

Zhao Mu chuckled: "Why, are you afraid that I will settle the score with you later and kill you if I am in a bad mood?"

King Yu's body trembled and he smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, you are right. Xiao Wang has never been able to sleep well in these years. I am afraid that when I wake up one day, you will be standing beside the bed, and my body and head have been separated. ”

"Especially a few years ago, I heard that sir, you once went out to the East China Sea and swept through the entire Wind and Rain Sword Sect with one sword. Even the sword idiot was defeated by you. Xiao Wang couldn't sleep even more."

"I wonder almost every day, Sir, when are you going to take action against me? After all, even the Sword Maniac has come to your door, so how can you let me, the mastermind, go?"

Looking at King Yu's haggard face, Zhao Mu suddenly felt like he was frightening the children.

It seems that King Yu has been tortured a lot these years.

It's no wonder that anyone who offended the best master in the world would probably have a hard time sleeping peacefully.

He was always on tenterhooks, fearing that powerful enemies would come to his door. It was difficult for King Yu to persist for so many years without being tortured and committing suicide.

I wonder if King Yu knew that Zhao Mu had actually never thought of killing him all these years, would he be vomiting blood due to his unfounded worries?

That's right, Zhao Mu had never thought of killing King Yu, and if Zhou Yuniang hadn't mentioned it occasionally, he would have forgotten that there was such a person.

After all, King Yu was different from the powerful swordsman, so he really had no interest in getting his attention.

Even Zhou Yuniang had long since stopped paying attention to King Yu.

The reason why King Yu was kept and not killed was because Zhou Yuniang had other things to do and needed this person.

Zhao Mu glanced at King Yu: "When you enter the palace today, do you want to make a petition to enthrone the queen?"

"How do you know, sir?"

Prince Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Yes, the Queen is Sir's senior sister, so she will naturally tell Sir about this matter."

"Yes, Xiao Wang went to the palace today to deliver the memorial. After all, Xiao Wang is the most suitable for this matter."

King Yu sighed.

The current situation in the court is delicate.

Zhou Yuniang's ascension to the throne as emperor was already unstoppable, and the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were well aware of this.

But according to the rules, Zhou Yuniang cannot say this kind of thing herself, it must be done by

After that, Zhou Yuniang had to reject the offer three times, and the courtiers showed up three times before the enthronement ceremony could actually begin.

This is politics. The rules may seem cumbersome, but they are etiquette left over from ancient times.

No one would violate this rule unless they were ignorant and ignorant.

And Zhou Yuniang is also willing to abide by the rules to show that her ascension to the throne is justified.

After all, the throne is already in the bag, so there is no need to be too impatient.

But who will break the delicate situation in the court and who will be the first to go to the table and ask Zhou Yuniang to proclaim himself emperor is worthy of scrutiny.

After all, as the first female emperor in the history of the Jin Dynasty, Zhou Yuniang essentially robbed the Sima family of the throne.

If the courtiers were the first to list, where would that put the royal family? After all, they were the orthodox members of the Jin Dynasty?

So at this time, it made sense for Zhou Yuniang to keep Prince Yu alive and not kill him.

As one of the two princes whom Sima Tongsheng valued most at that time, although Prince Yu failed to ascend the throne in the end, his status in the royal family still played a decisive role.

His identity is completely enough to be the first person on the list.

In addition, as the person in the royal family who took the lead in opposing Zhou Yuniang, he even planned to assassinate Zhou Yuniang.

If King Yu can be the first to go to court, he will recommend Zhou Yuniang to the throne.

Doesn't that tell the world that Zhou Yuniang is so benevolent and virtuous that even her enemies have surrendered?

Therefore, it is most appropriate for King Yu to do this.

Zhao Mu patted King Yu on the shoulder and sympathized with this tool man.

A man who once almost became an emperor now actually wants to put his opponent, a woman, on the throne with his own hands.

I believe King Xiu must be feeling quite depressed right now.

I don’t know how Zhou Yuniang used coercion and inducement in private to scare King Yu into being so obedient?

However, tool people must have the consciousness of tool people.

Since you lose in a political struggle, you must be prepared to stand at attention and be beaten, otherwise you will die without a burial place.

"Go ahead, submit the memorial today, and you will become the pioneer of the Jin Dynasty to open a new era, and from then on you will be remembered in history and immortal."

Forever... immortal?

Why does this sound wrong?

As for remembering in history?

Prince Yu felt that he would become a disgrace to the royal family.

After all, it was he who personally handed over his throne to an outsider, a woman.

When the descendants of the Sima family mentioned what happened today, they would probably step on his grave three times and then spit a big mouthful of old phlegm.

Prince Yu's face was as dark as iron, and he bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr., for your good words. Then I will enter the palace first."

"Well, go ahead, and have a safe trip."

Zhao Mu patted Prince Yu's shoulder again.

Prince Yu no longer had the heart to perfunctory, and turned around and left angrily.

Zhao Mu chuckled: "After Prince Yu submitted the memorial, even if the balance of the court was broken, starting from tomorrow, the memorials submitted by the court officials should be sent to the palace one after another."

"In this way, the time for Zhou Yu Niang to ascend the throne is truly ripe."

"In the previous life, I didn't have the opportunity to witness Wu Zetian's ascension to the throne, but now I can see how grand it is for the first female emperor of the Jin Dynasty to ascend the throne?"

Zhao Mu was looking forward to this, and then he walked towards the Midao Palace.
