After rebelling against Yazi and finally abandoning it

The second son Zhuang Wang!

The old sage's gaze sank. Originally, among his several princes, he was the most optimistic about King Zhuang's succession.

Because not only is he flexible in thinking, able to suppress other brothers, he is also obedient enough to never disobey him.However, later on, the old sage discovered that all the good feelings he had for King Zhuang had been shattered by reality one by one after King Zhuang found out that his eldest son had been replaced.

It made him wonder for a while whether he was too blind, or Zhuang Wang was too good at disguising.

First of all, how can the whole world be unified if there is no family?It can be seen from this that Zhuang Wang is not the kind of person he thought he had the ability to control the overall situation.

Otherwise, he would not have had a cold war with Concubine Zhuang for several years after switching back to his heirs, so that no direct heirs were born in Zhuang Wang's mansion except for the eldest son, which made him feel sad every time he thought of it.

Secondly, after he got his child back, he ignored the family affection he had raised under his knees for two years, and repeatedly obstructed his secret guards from searching for the child. Until now, Zhuang Ming was unexpectedly assassinated in a row overnight.

If Zhuang Bai hadn't reacted in time, I'm afraid that the little doll who used to hold his arms and smiled sweetly when he was young, and now that smart, clever and filial boy, would really want to send his white-haired man to a black-haired man.

Time has passed so long, what kind of deep hatred would make him attack a royal blood like this? !

Could it be... is everything he has known about the second brother all this time an illusion?

Thinking of this, the old saint felt a coldness inexplicably in his heart.If he can do this kind of cruelty to uncles and nephews who are related by blood, then what else can't he do? !He looked down at King Zhuang who was separated from the fifth prince, and suddenly thought of King Kang and King Qi.

Kang Wang is careless and good at invigorating the atmosphere. Qi Wang is full of literary ideas, elegant and polite, which is far from the comparison of the two deep-minded people standing below.When the anger in the past has settled down, the memories will beautify all the places that were disgusting.The old sage recalled the friendship between King Kang and King Qi again.

The eldest five had no heirs after marriage, and it was said that there was fierce competition for favor in the backyard, and she was pregnant with another, and the other was pregnant with the other, which broke Li Concubine's heart.King Zhuang did have a son and a concubine, but when he had the affection he had for Zhuang Ming when he was young, and when he saw the new eldest son who had been replaced, he always felt a little unhappy and couldn't get warm.

After meeting Zhuang Ming a few years ago, he couldn't help but compare Zhuang Ming again with Zhou Yongyan, the eldest son of his second family who was exchanged. Both the strength and strength are far superior to those of Zhou Yongyan.

I don't know whether Zhuang Bai educated well, or Zhuang Wang didn't pay much attention to education after bringing back the eldest son, which widened the gap between the two.Because of this matter, the old sage was even more dissatisfied with King Zhuang.

It would have been nice if Zhuang Ming's biological mother wasn't an official prostitute. With his talent and Zhuang Bai's power, even if he took this position, he would still be able to secure this position.After all, Zhuang Bai, as a foreign relative, definitely has no intention of stealing the country.

All kinds of messy thoughts in the old sage's mind were running rapidly, and the thought disappeared in a flash, then he smiled and regretfully put down the thought that had just arisen.However, although he couldn't give Zhuang Ming Jiangshan, he could rectify his name and restore his identity, so that he wouldn't almost die in a corner where he couldn't see, like last night.

Do whatever comes to mind.After coming down to court, the old sage called Zhuang Bai to stop, and had a long talk with him, until more than an hour later, he let the gloomy Zhuang Bai out of the palace.

At the same time, Zhuang Ming's servants who received the saint's message politely conveyed Zhuang Ming's real identity to Zhuang Ming himself, and informed him of the old saint's final decision, "...to prevent you from being assassinated again in the future. Assassinated lightly, the saint has decided to restore your true identity."

Zhuang Ming, who didn't dare to close his eyes all night, was startled, and quickly lowered his eyelids to hide the slight mockery in his eyes: For his own good?Send him to Zhuang Mansion for refuge? !But he can assure you that before he met the old saint when he was six years old, the old saint didn't even know that there was such a person as him.

In order for him to thrive, that's why they were sent to protect him?I have already heard from Zhuang Bai about the disappearance of King Zhaojun, who once caused a great disturbance. If the old sage was only doing it for his own good, would he let him stay in the hands of traffickers for more than a month?

Maybe it was because the experience during that time was too bitter, or maybe it was because that experience was so different from his previous memories, and he still remembers it clearly until now.Crowded, dilapidated, dirty, crying everywhere, and rushing at any time.If it weren't for the chubby face that was always smiling at all times, lighting up his panicked world, he might not have insisted on his father's adoption at all.

During that time, he often suffered from insomnia and kept his eyes open until dawn. Until now, although he has gradually improved and is no longer as serious as before, when he encounters frightening things, he will still fall into the previous nightmare.

Just like today.

Stimulated by the blood of the assassin overnight, he woke up with a start, as if returning to the time of childhood again.

There are fathers and mothers.

As for why some people say that he is the third prince's posthumous son?

Zhuang Ming lowered his eyes, waved away the crowd, and curled up the corners of his lips mockingly: He is no longer a young child who just believes what others say.As for the specific truth, he believed in his own judgment even more, and believed in his... father.

Just after noon, when he heard that Zhuang Bai had returned to his residence, Zhuang Ming immediately packed up his clothes and went to see him.

On this day, the father and son talked for a long time, and finally opened the door of the study until it was getting dark.

After walking out of the study, Zhuang Ming seemed to have grown up a lot in a day, his waist became straighter and firmer, and under the delicate facial features, the color of his eyes became deeper and harder to distinguish.

The young man who has decided to take on his own destiny overnight seems to be an adult.

The next day, after a few years, the Zhuang Mansion welcomed an angel again.

In the imperial decree, the old sage highly praised Zhuang Bai for raising the king of Zhaojun until he was 12 years old, helping him to overcome the great disaster in his life, and giving him countless rare and antique rewards.Afterwards, Zhuang Ming officially changed his name to Zhou Yongming, and went to the Zhaojun Prince's Mansion, which had been vacant for a long time.

That day, Zhuang Mao, who had been kept in the dark, cried so much that he had never cried when he was robbed of food. It was rare that he lost his appetite all day.Even though Zhuang Ming couldn't bear it, he still hardened his heart and set foot on the steps to the new residence.

The day before, Zhuang Bai had picked up what he could say, picked out some and told Zhuang Ming.After all, he is a child who grew up under his nose. He hopes that he can basically understand the truth, control the overall situation, and not be easily deceived by some people with ulterior motives.

Of course, he is also a person with ulterior motives, but what he wants is not in conflict with Zhuang Ming.

When Zhuang Ming knew that he had a misplaced identity with Zhou Yongyan, the current son of King Zhuang, and that he was exchanged back and disappeared in chaos, he had to sigh in his heart that his luck was extremely good.

If he hadn't disappeared at that time, but had been successfully exchanged back to Prince Zhao's Mansion, what would he have done if he was an ignorant toddler who was not taught by the people around him? !In such a huge royal palace, there are King Zhuang and Concubine Zhuang's natal families staring at him outside. There is no master of the house inside, and there are servants who can't be restrained. It is still unknown whether he can live to adulthood.

At least for now, he was a blessing in disguise.After being nurtured by his father for many years, he is no longer a copycat, no longer powerless, he has relatives and friends, important and caring people, and he has the ability to fight back and fight.

The return of King Zhaojun not only means that Zhuang Bai's team in the court finally has a clear position, but also means that there is another powerful competitor in the muddy waters of the capital where only two princes are left.

Zhuang Bai, a military general who has always been neutral and high-ranking, can put all other competitors at risk with his support alone.Not to mention that because of Zhuang Bai's good popularity and eloquence, a large group of civil servants and military generals have already stood behind him, occupying half of the current imperial court.

The old sage did not interfere too much.He was even happy about it.

Thinking of Zhou Yongming's recent return, the two princes showed their feet, and the old sage's heart became colder and colder.It turns out that the downfall of King Kang was instigated by King Zhuang, and the downfall of King Qi was planned by the fifth prince, King Rui.And the death of the fifth prince's side concubine's mother was caused by King Zhuang and King Qi together... His sons.

Without comparison, there is no harm.In contrast to these groups of emperor uncles with ulterior motives, the more calm the old sage looked at Zhou Yongming, who had a calm expression and a pure and kind heart, the more pleasing to his eyes.

For such a change in the mentality of the old sage, Zhuang Bai and Dieye silently hid their merits and fame behind their backs.

In the next three years, a force called the Black Guards suddenly developed in the south. They were well-trained and powerful. The ability displayed on the battlefield is not like a pure civil organization.

The rise of the Black Guards was menacing. In just three years, he had conquered half of the country with an invincible momentum. For a while, the atmosphere in Kyoto was tense and people panicked.

When the generals were defeated by the black guards, Zhuang Bai was ordered to go out.

Zhuang Bai's departure from the capital represented that King Zhaojun's power in the capital had been weakened to the lowest point. Both King Zhuang and King Rui took a good look at this excellent timing. Launch a mutiny.

On that day, the fifth prince died in the chaos of war, and King Zhuang forced the palace.

In Qinzheng Hall, due to the coup d'état, bereavement, forced palace and other incidents that occurred continuously within a day, the old saint aged more than ten years in a day, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to have deepened a lot.

In the Fang Mansion, Fang Kun listened to his subordinates' report, lightly twisted the black fox fur in his hand with his pale fingers, and thought of something, a relaxed smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "All the guards in black are ready ?"

"Returning to the master, all the black-clothed guards were withdrawn on the day General Zhuang left the capital, and they have now assembled in the capital."

"Very good," Fang Kun nodded in satisfaction, looked up at the half crescent moon in the sky for a long time, with a combative madness in his eyes: "Start forcing the palace, slogan, avenge the dead fifth prince."

"promise!"
