Raid

Chapter 136 Complaining

Although Zhou Fa hadn't gone to court, let alone the Tai Chi Hall, the court's choice had already been within his expectations.Because this is also the result of his single-handed planning.

"Grandfather." Zhou Fa was reading a book when Zhou Lingwang came in to see him.

"Lingwang? Sit down." Zhou Fa was a little surprised by Zhou Lingwang's visit. This little granddaughter is the most amiable, and has always lived reclusively. She usually stays in Mingyue Nunnery on weekdays. Church, or chanting scriptures in his own room, rarely going out, "What are you doing here today?"

"Grandfather likes to read "Mencius". My granddaughter copied a copy of "Mencius" a few days ago and dedicated it to my grandfather. It also happens that my grandfather can give me some pointers on my granddaughter's calligraphy." Zhou Lingwang was respectful and humble, but in Zhou Fa's eyes When he arrived, there was a glimmer of darkness in his eyes.

Zhou Fa didn't notice it, and couldn't help but smiled and nodded in surprise, "You really have intentions."

Zhou Fa flipped through the pages casually, with a little appreciation in her eyes, "As expected of my girl from the Zhou family, this word is indeed getting better and better."

"In order to worship the Buddha when the moon was dark, I copied the scriptures every day, and I didn't dare to be careless, so I never slacked off." Zhou Lingwang said neither humble nor overbearing.Not arrogant because of Zhou Fa's praise, nor overly modest.

Having said that, when Zhou Fa looked at Zhou Lingwang, there was a little more helplessness in his eyes.

Zhou Lingwang is good everywhere, among the daughters of Zhou's generation, no one is more outstanding than her, but it's a pity that her temperament is too lonely and reclusive, and she seems to be incompatible with Zhou's.

Fortunately, Zhou Lingwang was well-behaved and obedient, and would not bring disaster to the Zhou family, so she went with her.

The two didn't talk much, Zhou Lingwang left Zhou Fa's courtyard, and she handed over the sign to enter the palace today to visit Zhou Lingwen.

When the road turned a corner, Zhou Lingwang met his mother, Mrs. Zhou.Zhou Lingwang saluted gently.

"Where are you going? I heard from the servant that you ordered someone to prepare a carriage. Are you going to Mingyue Nunnery again?" Mrs. Zhou looked at her formally dressed daughter and couldn't help asking one more question.

"Go to the palace to see Mrs. Zhou. I will go to Mingyue Nunnery tomorrow."

"Are you planning to live in the nunnery for the rest of your life? Where are young girls like you going in and out of the nunnery for a long time? You are only a teenager, do you want to live alone in this life?" Mrs. Zhou said angrily.

Zhou Lingwang raised his head slightly, "Is the mother worried that her daughter will be lonely when she is a teenager, or that the only daughter of the Zhou family's direct lineage will be lonely?"

Mrs. Zhou choked, and her brows tightened even more. Her daughter's face was still flat, as if she hadn't said anything serious, but it really hurt her heart, "Are you blaming me?"

"Daughter dare not."

"It's because you don't dare, not because you can't. You're blaming me. You've been blaming me since what happened to Lingyi?" Mrs. Zhou asked, but her words were extremely affirmative.

"My daughter doesn't dare." Zhou Lingwang still said the same thing.

"Ling Yi is also my daughter, how do you know that I don't love you, how do you know that I don't feel sorry for him when he died? When you were young, how did you know about Zhou's situation? What you saw Zhou's is full of flowers, How do you know the wind, knife, frost and sword in such a prosperous situation?

At that time, the Zhou family was in crisis, and the late emperor wanted to catch Zhou's mistakes in his dreams. Your sister eloped with someone else. Do you know how much trouble this would bring to the Zhou family?If she is not killed, the entire Zhou family will be implicated. Even if she is my daughter, I cannot tolerate her.

There is also news.Although she was not born to me, she was also raised by me. She has served me by my side all these years with more dedication than you. Do you think I am willing to give up on her?But you have also seen that if we didn't kill her, what we got in exchange would be the decline of the Zhou family.

We are the children of the family, accepting the support of the family, how can we not consider the family?If it hinders the development of the family, the family must be the most important thing. "

Zhou Lingwang listened to these high-sounding words, but she didn't try to refute them. She knew that this was her mother's deep-rooted notion, and she couldn't change it and didn't want to change it.Her two older sisters were the victims of Zhou's seizure of power, but the victims were more than her two older sisters.Didn't the people in the four cities north of Lijiang all die because of Zhou's selfish desires?

"What mother said is true." Zhou Lingwang replied indifferently.

"You!" Mrs. Zhou knew Zhou Lingwang's rebellion under this obedient appearance. She was very angry, but she had to put on a bitter look, "Now the Zhou family has no way out. If we do, then It's a dead end."

"What mother said is true." Zhou Lingwang suppressed the sarcasm in his eyes.Is it a dead end?Not necessarily.Grandfather has been in office for a long time, but the Zhou family has not seen its demise.

The Zhan family and the Zhou family are both well-known families in Xiaqiu, the Zhan family is not as powerful as the Zhou family, and it is not seen that he perishes.

Nowadays, people in the world, when mentioning Xiaqiu Zhan's family, who doesn't praise the aristocratic family.But when it comes to the Zhou family in Xiaqiu, who doesn't criticize their relatives for meddling in politics, and the family monopoly.

In fact, she really wanted to ask, Mrs. Zhou often reads "Tao Te Ching", didn't she read this passage?
"Holding and gaining is not as good as it is. Holding and sharpening, it cannot be kept forever. The house is full of gold and jade, and no one can keep it. Wealth and pride, leave the blame. Retire after success, the way of heaven."

Even she understands such a simple truth, so how could the family not understand it?It's just an excuse for my own selfish desires.

In the "Mencius" that he hand-copied for his grandfather, there is actually a missing sentence. My grandfather is knowledgeable and talented. If you read it carefully, you must know which sentence is missing.

There was a shocking explosion along the Lijiang River. Others might think it was a natural disaster, but she knew it was a man-made disaster.

Perhaps the former Zhou family can take advantage of the situation and retire, and in the future, in the history of Japan, the harmony between the monarch and his ministers can also be passed down as a good story.

But now it’s over. The explosion in Zhenyuan, the breach of several major estuaries killed people in four counties in Xichang, eight counties in Zhenyuan, six counties in Tongjiang and three counties in **.The Zhou family is burdened with such a big crime, so why should they live on the top of the history so cleanly?If the Zhou family can leave a name in history, then what are those people who died in vain?
Mrs. Zhou still wanted to say something, but Zhou Lingwang obviously didn't intend to continue the conversation with her. She was so gentle that no one could fault her, "My daughter has already handed over the sign to enter the palace. She wants to see Mrs. Empress, don't delay, my daughter will leave first."

"Hey——" Before Madam Zhou could stop, Zhou Lingwang had already left quickly.She closed her eyes in a dark complexion. In the year Ling Yi died, she lost all her daughters.
