I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 401
Since both sides wanted to make peace, Chang Hong and Wang Zichao agreed to meet at the slightly raised hill in front of the two armies three days later, but this matter needs to be kept secret for the time being.

The situation was urgent, and Chang Hong didn't have time to talk about the old days with Li Ran, so he rushed back to the camp overnight, and immediately expressed the matter to Zhou Wangmeng.

However, Zhou Wangmeng became a little uneasy again:
"It's just... I'm afraid this move will be strongly opposed by Shan Qi! Whether it will be possible or not is still unknown?"

Chang Hong bowed his body and said:
"Your Majesty, don't worry, making peace between two parties is a great plan to benefit the people. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, even a single-flagman can't stop it."

Chang Hong's words were reasonable and restrained, but Zhou Wangmeng was still young after all, and faced with such an important decision, he couldn't help being a little hesitant:

"Being alone as the Son of Heaven, not only does Xu Yi take the position of Brother Wang Dazong, but is it appropriate to lower his status like this?"

"Your Majesty! After all, Wang Zichao is a member of the royal family, and the previous kings really favored him, and now even the people of the country think of him. Although it is inappropriate to commit chaos, it is also forced by that single flag. Shan Qi killed Wang Zichao's teachers first, and then made the former prince's heirs all swear in his own family. It can be said that his intention to take Zhou is clearly revealed, so he forced Wang Zichao to rebel!"

"One more word of nonsense from my humble minister. Although Shan Qi has made great contributions to supporting the king, no matter how great the contribution is, there is absolutely no reason for the Shan clan to be above the king. If the king can lower his status in front of the prince, , and use it to stabilize the Zhou family, not only is it a blessing for the common people, but also can use its power to control the Shan family, why not do it, the king?"

These words reached Zhou Wangmeng's heart.It is true.Since he succeeded to the throne, he has been worried every single day, and he has been coerced by Shan Qi and Liu Di to run around.

Naturally, he didn't want to live this kind of life anymore, and now it was an opportunity, an opportunity to get rid of Single Banner's control.So, he agreed.

The time came to the agreed date.The two armies continued to confront each other, and Xun Li also sent a letter to Fan Yang, explaining the situation and asking what to do next.

Of course, it still takes some time for the information to be transmitted. The previous siege battle had left both sides injured and resting. However, on this day Zhou Wangmeng suddenly proposed to go to the front line for inspection.

In front of the generals, it is inconvenient for a single flag to fly against him directly, so he can only accompany him.King Zhou rushed out of the camp and looked in the direction of Jingyi from a distance.

"Brother Wang is in this city, right?"

Shan Qi replied:
"My lord, the prince's dynasty is indeed within this city..."

However, Shan Qi hadn't finished speaking when he saw two groups of private soldiers in the city, divided into two wings, and they didn't come to attack.

Two more people came down, and the two groups of soldiers came out in a row and placed them on the flanks for defense.The other team is two miles away from the bulge, which can be used as a support.

Shan Qi vaguely felt that this was wrong, and at this moment, he heard Zhou Wangmeng who was beside him shouting:

"Shan Qing, prepare a carriage for Gu Tong, Gu Tong is going to meet Brother Wang!"

When Shan Qi heard this, he couldn't help but gasped, and looked back at the bulge.

"How can you take such a big risk with the body of thousands of kings?"

King Zhou said in a deep voice:

"Shan Qing, if it's more dangerous than good or bad to go here alone, it's not in line with your wishes? Wouldn't you be able to establish a new brother, Prince Ge? He is still young, so wouldn't it be easier to control?!"

When Shan Qi heard this, his expression changed drastically.

"Your Majesty, why did you say that... Since I supported the Majesty, I have always been conscientious, as if facing an abyss, as if walking on thin ice. I am afraid that there is something wrong with my heart, so how dare I have another heart? The Majesty said so , it really makes me feel ashamed..."

"Gao! Go find a carriage!"

It was rare for Wang Meng to show his strength this week, and he ordered the guard Gao beside him. Gao took a look at Shan Qi, and immediately went to prepare the carriage.

At this time, Ji Tan on the side also hurriedly said:
"Your Majesty! This action must never be..."

King Zhou snorted coldly, directly interrupting his words:
"Jitan, since you are a doctor of Jin, do you want to overstep my Zhou Zong's affairs?"

Ji Tan saw that Zhou Wangmeng had directly kowtowed such a big hat to him, how could he dare to accept it, he just knelt on the ground and hurriedly said:
"Don't dare to talk..."

"Since that's the case, there's no need for that minister to say more!"

Ji Tan was choked for a while, so he had to back down disgruntled.And then, Liu Di came out again at this moment and said:
"If your majesty has to go, the ministers will not dare to stop him, but for the sake of the country, I hope your majesty will think twice! Putting your majesty in a dangerous place is really our duty as ministers!"

"I have made up my mind, and this move is just for the sake of my Zhou Zongzhi community!"

Liu Di's brain turned sharply, and he said:
"Your Majesty insists on this, so you need to send troops to escort you..."

"It's okay to send troops to escort, but it must not be within a hundred meters of Gu Gu, otherwise if Gu has an accident because of this, you will be even more to blame!"

Seeing that Zhou Wangmeng finally looked like an emperor, Chang Hong couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

"Your Majesty is sympathetic to the common people. In order to avoid devastation and the people's livelihood, he is willing to take this strange risk. Since Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the destiny is at stake. How can we not support it?"

What Chang Hong said made the people present unable to refute for a while.

And Gao had already prepared the carriage at this time, and Zhou Wangmeng also took Gao alone, and went to the appointment.

Shan Qi frowned and looked at the carriage going away. At this moment, a fierce horse in the army broke away from the rein and fled in all directions. said:

"Master Shan, what should I do with this runaway horse?"

Chang Hong is so smart, he can hear what it means.

"My lord, what do you mean by this?"

Ji talked and smiled:
"Master Taishi was too worried, and the discussion was based on this situation. It's just... I think that this runaway horse may not be taken anymore, that's all..."

In the eyes of Shan Qi and the others, Zhou Wangmeng suddenly exercised the power of Zhou Tianzi today, he was indeed like a runaway horse, uncontrollable.Since it is an uncontrollable horse, it cannot be kept.

Shan Qi also knew the meaning of Ji Tan's words, but he didn't pick up the words, just said:

"Hehe, it's not worth mentioning. Right now, I should wait and pay more attention to the safety of the king!"

Shan Qi also sent two teams to follow Zhou Wang Meng, but they only stayed a hundred paces away from him and never approached.

Zhou Wang came to the raised place suddenly, at this time, Wang Zichao was already waiting there with Chu Dang.

The two brothers reunited after a long absence, but the scene is also touching.Wang Zichao went to the front of the car and personally helped Zhou Wangmeng get off the car.

The two brothers held hands together. In fact, the two of them had been in the palace before, and their relationship had always been pretty good.

There is not much difference in age between the two, when they were young, they didn't know how to fight for power and profit, they played together, when they grew up a bit, and the crown prince lived on, neither of them had such a heart to seize power.

When Crown Prince Shou died of illness, King Jing favored Wang Zichao, but King Meng of Zhou had nothing to contend with.I also feel that I can't compete with my brother, so I have always lived in peace.

It was not until later that King Jing passed away, Shan Qi and Liu Di suddenly supported King Meng of Zhou, and Wang Zichao refused to accept it, which led to the current situation.

"Brother Wang hasn't seen you for many years, and he has lost a lot of weight every day! These years, my brother has suffered a lot, right?"

Wang Zichao's words moved Zhou Wangmeng a little.

Since his father passed away, not long after Zhou Wangmeng succeeded to the throne, he was taken away from Luoyi by Shan Qi. Although he was killed and returned later, his brothers were almost killed and injured.This incident dealt a huge blow to Zhou Wangmeng.

Shan Qi killed so many of his clansmen, Zhou Wangmeng naturally held a grudge against him, but he was intimidated by Shan, and Liu Er's hands and eyes were as good as the sky, so he had no choice but to bear it.And after he succeeded to the throne, he was displaced like this, and his life was indeed unsatisfactory.

"Brother Wang, I have to see my elder brother again today. If we can make peace, the common people will be saved from unreasonable disasters. As the heir of the Zhou family, we have a duty to do so!"

Zhou Wangmeng spoke earnestly, Wang Zichao also nodded upon hearing the words.

"What Brother Wang said is true, this matter is the duty of both of you and me!"
