The King of Fortune

270 Three Years
Time flies, and three years have passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past three years, nothing major has happened in the land of China, but all forces are secretly gathering momentum, waiting for the next big war to come.Dashang, after three years of political clarity, stable borders, and rejuvenated national power, although there is still a gap compared with the beginning of King Zhou's accession to the throne, the momentum of development in all aspects is good.

It's just that King Zhou's health is deteriorating, and he has been bedridden for two months now. The imperial physicians are helpless, and they have tried all kinds of precious medicinal materials, but there is no improvement. Everyone in the civil and military court knows that the king's time limit has come.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of discussion between the ruling and opposition parties. The focus of everyone's discussion was who would inherit the throne and be the next king of the Great Shang.The civil and military officials are divided into three factions, one faction supports Wei Ziyan, the other supports Wei Ziyan, and some people support the recovery of Yin Jiao and help him ascend to the throne.

King Zhou is still there, but the three factions are fighting openly and secretly, and there is a great momentum of party struggle.

King Zhou knew that he was running out of time, so he called Weizi to him, and said, "Brother Wang, the lonely king is dying, and we can only rely on you to make Tang Sheji."

After speaking, he couldn't help coughing a few times, and the waiter at the side quickly handed over a white towel, and he covered his mouth with the white towel, his face flushed from coughing, and he took a long time to let go, when Wei Zi saw that the white towel was stained with blood. Red, with a look of shock.

"My lord, you were fine a few months ago, why did you become so seriously ill?"

Wei Zi felt sad, seeing that the great business is expected to revive, at this juncture, the king fell ill, and the sky has no eyes.

King Zhou said softly: "Brother Wang, the lonely king is very aware of his body. Most of his vitality has been sucked by the three demons. He can live for three or four years. God has treated me well. The lonely king doesn't blame others, he only blames himself for being infatuated with women. If you don’t look good, you will have to toss a whole country and your vitality will be greatly injured, if you loyal ministers and good generals have never left the lonely king, I am afraid that the world will have changed hands long ago.”

At the beginning, King Zhou and Daji were hanging out together. He was half drunk and half awake, and didn't realize the crisis of the big business.Looking back again, he realized how bad the situation was at that time, and there were signs that the building was about to collapse.

Wei Zi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. There are many experts in the deep mountains and old forests. I sent a large number of people to search for the gods for the King, and begged them to give the panacea to cure the King's illness."

King Zhou waved his hand and said, "It's useless, the fate of the lonely king has come. Back then, when the former king ruled the world, there were so many capable merchants and strangers, and no god offered immortal medicine. How could the lonely king be an exception."

King Zhou is 74 years old this year, which is already considered an advanced age. In the past few years, in order to help the great merchants restore their national strength, he has taken care of all kinds of affairs, and he has finally become sick from overwork and cannot afford to be ill.

Weizi is silent, birth, old age, sickness and death, this is the fate of mortals, from princes and nobles to traffickers and pawns, without exception, those gods who can learn profound Taoism and understand the secret of longevity, how can they go against the sky.

Wen Zhong is the elder of the three dynasties, and also a master of Jiejiao, wouldn't it be easy to get one or two elixir in his capacity, but he didn't do so, which shows that gods can't do things recklessly, otherwise, once the punishment of heaven is imposed on them, it is very likely Ashes to ashes.

"Brother Wang, Dashang will entrust you."

King Zhou looked calm. He reigned for 33 years, gained supreme power, experienced eight hundred princes coming to court, and also experienced the ups and downs of the country, but Dashang was like a giant. Even though it was in danger, it finally survived.

This may be the most gratifying thing for King Zhou, he feels that even if he lets go now, he will have no regrets.

Wei Zi shook his body, and pondered: "Your Majesty, my minister's ability is limited, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on the important task. Please, Your Majesty, choose another wise man."

Although he had heard a lot of rumors in the court recently, he was still taken aback when these words came out of the king's mouth.

King Zhou glanced at him and said, "Brother Wang, because of a wrong thought at that time, the lonely king killed Empress Jiang and almost beheaded Yin Jiao and Yin Hong. Now that Yin Hong has died early, and Yin Jiao's whereabouts are unknown, this country is apart from you , who else can I entrust to.”

Wei Zi is far superior to Wei Ziyan in terms of prestige and ability. Although he is old, he is healthy and healthy, and he is definitely the best candidate to inherit the throne.Now that the Dashang is united internally, and Han Rong is sitting outside, those princes want to make trouble, but they have to weigh their strengths. After a few years, the Dashang has completely recovered, and even if those princes rebel, they will not be able to cause much trouble.

But Wei Zi said: "Your Majesty, Yin Jiao is your only bloodline, and if you send someone to look for it, he will inherit the throne, which is justified."

They are all half-buried people, and they don't have any extravagant thoughts about the throne. They only hope that the great merchants can be revived and continue from generation to generation.

King Zhou shook his head and said, "No need, Yinjiao has not heard from Yinjiao in the past few years, and I'm afraid it will be a disaster. Besides, he doesn't know who he is worshiping, and he looks like a ghost and a ghost." Look, how can we inherit the great rule. Brother Wang, there is no need to delay, the lonely king has made up his mind."

Wei Zi moved his mouth, and just about to speak, King Zhou interrupted: "Brother Wang, don't you have the heart to let the lonely king go without peace of mind."

"Your Majesty entrusts you so much, it's better to be respectful than obey your orders."

Tiny couldn't refuse anymore, so he agreed immediately.

King Zhou laughed and said, "This is the lonely king's good brother. I can rest assured that the world will be entrusted to you!"

"My lord, now three years have passed, Xizhen is basically stable, and the national power of South Korea established by Han Rong is developing rapidly, and its strength is gradually approaching that of Zhou Guo. How do you plan to arrange Han Rong?"

Weizi knew that King Zhou had always wanted to tune Han Rong back to the court song, but because of the situation in Xiqi, he had to let Han Rong sit in Xizhen.

Mentioning Han Rong, King Zhou's face suddenly became serious, he coughed a few times, and said, "Han Rong, let him sit in the western town to restrain Ji Fa. At the same time, Ji Fa can also curb the development of South Korea."

Over the years, King Zhou also heard about some things Han Rong did in private. Although Han Rong explained it, he was dissatisfied and his trust in Han Rong was not as good as before.What's more, at the important moment of the handover of the old and new kings, no matter what the reason is, Han Rong's return to the court song cannot be adjusted.

When Wei Zi heard this, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. He was still worried that the king was acting on his emotions, so he transferred Han Rong back to Chaoge to work. Fortunately, it was a false alarm, so he said: "The king is wise."

But King Zhou said: "It is necessary to guard against others. Han Rong's talent is unparalleled in the world, but this person acts first and then plays. This makes the lonely king very dissatisfied. This person has to be guarded."

Wei Zi nodded approvingly. At the beginning, when Li Tong talked about Han Rong in front of him, he thought Li Tong was jealous of Han Rong's talent.Now it seems that although Li Tong is jealous of Han Rong, what he said is not unreasonable.

"Brother Wang, the lonely king held back his energy to talk to you so much today, this meeting is really unbearable, you should step back first, the lonely king is going to rest."

King Zhou was already terminally ill, and he could still speak thanks to the thousand-year-old ginseng, but the time could not be long, otherwise his life would be in danger at any time.

"Your Majesty, please rest."

Tiny cupped his hands, turned and left the palace.
