The Three Realms of the City

Chapter 212

There were a total of 36 bones in the entire tomb. Meng Qingan asked Huzi and his group to clean up the bones first, especially putting Zhou Lu's bones into the sarcophagus, which was the last respect for this rebel who was a thousand years ago.

"Actually, you don't know much about Zhou Lu from the official history and unofficial history. No matter whether he wants to rebel in the end, he is considered a good official, at least for the people. Zhou Lu has been an official for more than [-] years. He didn't say anything to the people. , This is also the reason why the people in Kunzhong wore mourning for Zhou Lu's family when Zhou Lu passed away." Meng Qing'an said softly.

"Teacher, after all you have said, I still haven't figured out the cause of Zhou Lu's death. What happened between him and Emperor Meizhi!" Meng Zhuo asked softly. They took half of it and left the other half in the tomb. Now this meeting is really not busy, and several people also want to hear the story from thousands of years ago.

"This is the grievance of the Dali Kingdom. Emperor Mingde had three sons, and the crown prince became Emperor Meiji later. However, Emperor Mingde finally wanted his youngest son to inherit the throne, but he didn't expect the crown prince to kill his younger brother directly. Emperor De was furious and directly locked up the prince. However, the princeling party at that time had become a climate. Not long after, Emperor Mingde became seriously ill and the prince was released. This is the grievance of the emperor's family. .” Meng Qingan said softly.

"But there is still a very important person in the grievances of Dali Kingdom, that is Zhou Lu, Zhou Lu is the confidant minister of Emperor Mingde, Emperor Mingde was seriously ill, many things were handed over to Zhou Lu, and Emperor Mingde died later , The crown prince came to the throne, and killed many ministers, except Zhou Lu, and what we learned later was that Zhou Lu voluntarily disarmed and returned to the land." Meng Qing'an continued.

"Yeah, there's nothing wrong with this, it's all recorded in history books like this, but why did you say that a master with great achievements intends to usurp the throne, and a new emperor ascends the throne and eliminates rebel ministers? What's going on?" Hearing Meng Qing'an's words , Meng Zhuo couldn't understand even more, and the others were also fascinated, wanting to know what happened to Zhou Lu and Emperor Meizhi.

"Without the ancient tomb of the Earth Dragon Bureau and the chamber with 36 bones, I wouldn't have thought about what happened in Dali. Although what I'm talking about now is just conjecture, there shouldn't be too much. There are too many deviations!" Meng Qing'an said softly, looking at the sarcophagus in the middle of the tomb, it seemed that everything had returned to the Dali Kingdom thousands of years ago.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has been with you for three years. Compared with the previous emperor, the emperor no longer needs the old minister. Besides, the old minister is old. I hope to be able to disarm and return to the field!" Zhou Lu, 63 years old, faced Meiji. Emperor said softly.

"I hope that the teacher can stay with me, I still have a lot of things to ask the teacher!" Emperor Meiji looked at Zhou Lu and said softly.

"With Mr. Wei at the emperor's side, I believe Dali will make the country peaceful and the people safe. The old minister is old and really can't be with the emperor anymore. Please also ask the emperor to approve the old minister to go home." Zhou Lu said softly.

"Since the teacher has made up his mind, then I agree with the teacher to go back." Emperor Meiji said with a trace of helplessness, "Xiao Chenzi, pass on my will. Mr. Zhou is old, and I agree with Mr. Zhou to return to his hometown. One thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, one hundred bolts of silk and satin, a mansion of the Kunzhong Lord, Zhou Taifu was demoted to the third rank, and he was also named Kunzhong Hou, and he will be a Marquis for generations!"

Such treatment shocked the entire Dali Kingdom at that time. Although the first rank was downgraded to the third rank, the three words of Kunzhonghou alone were enough to make Zhou Lu and the entire Zhou family feel comfortable.

After Zhou Lu left the imperial capital, he drove all the way back to Kunzhong, and at home saw an old man called Mr. Yunding who was before the death of Emperor Mingde.

"Master Zhou returned home and was named Kunzhonghou. I don't know whether the old man should congratulate Master Zhou, or go to mourn for Master Zhou!" The first words Mr. Yun Ding said when he saw Zhou Lu made people Zhou Lu's eyes widened.

"I don't know what Mr. Yunding means!" Zhou Lu asked softly.

"When the first emperor passed away, he once called you and me like a tent. Don't you understand the last words of the late emperor?" Mr. Yun Ding said with a smile, "Introducing wisdom into the emperor will make the country happy for three years, and now three years later The deadline has passed, if the introduction of intelligence does not give up the throne, Dali will face disaster."

"I have retired and returned to my hometown. I have nothing to do with the old man. Mr. Yunding should stop talking about this, so as not to cause death!" Zhou Lu said softly.

"Master Zhou has been an official for 30 years, and he has done his best for the people of Dali. Could it be that he just watched the people fall into dire straits? Mr. Zhou understands the character of attracting talents. Okay, but how can a person's character change, I will come to see you again in three months, I hope you will understand by then, Yunding will leave!" After speaking, Mr. Yunding left the Zhou residence.

Zhou Lu returned to his hometown when he was old, and the people in Kunzhong set up thousands of seats to welcome Zhou Lu, and even the people around Kunzhong poured into Kunzhong one after another. It was a harmonious scene, but this kind of scene was definitely not what the Meiji Emperor wanted to see.

"Lord Wei, I went to Kunzhong for thousands of years, and the common people respected me and stayed away from me. Lord Zhou was very friendly when he went back. It seems that I am not good at being an emperor!" Yin Zhi said softly to Wei Tianao who was beside him.

"Zhou Lu is a subject, but he can't take care of the king. This alone is a serious crime!" Wei Tianao said loudly, "I got the news from Kunzhong that Mr. Yunding when the late emperor passed away also In Kunzhong, I don't know if I should go to Master Zhou."

"Wei Aiqing, if you have anything to say, just tell me straight up. Speaking of which, you can be regarded as a teacher who attracts wisdom!" Emperor Meiji said with a smile.

"There is nothing wrong with Zhou Lu returning to Kunzhong alone, but if Mr. Yunding is also in Kunzhong. Some things are hard to say. Mr. Yunding is called Mr. Suidi. He followed the first emperor for 11 years, and now you have been in power for three years. However, Mr. Yunding has never been to you, but he found Zhou Lu after Zhou Lu returned to Kunzhong, this is definitely strange." Wei Tianao said softly.

Three days later, Zhou Lu found Mr. Yunding, and then Mr. Yunding took Zhou Lu to Ximang Mountain. Looking at the rolling mountains, Mr. Yunding told Zhou Lu a big secret.

"Lord Zhou, you don't have the appearance of an emperor, but your son Zhou Cheng already has the aura of an emperor. As long as you choose this place for the cemetery before the age of 64, Zhou Cheng will definitely become emperor within three years." Mr. Yun Ding turned to Zhou. Lu said.

"I'll leave everything to Mr. Zhou Lu, for the sake of the people of the world, I don't want this life." Zhou Lu said with a smile, and Mr. Yunding also laughed.

Zhou Lu’s cemetery was directly ground-breaking on Ximang Mountain. It was originally a very hidden thing, but it was still known by Emperor Meiji. Zhou Lu told him that he was ill and he was dying. Emperor Meiji directly sent an imperial physician to him It didn't take long for Zhou Lu to treat his illness, and Emperor Meiji knew Zhou Lu's overall plan.

"Yin Lue, you have been with me for three years. I have something for you to do. From today onwards, you must never leave Zhou Lu. If Zhou Lu is buried on Ximang Mountain, you will come back if you can. Don’t come, don’t let Zhou Lu’s body enter the sarcophagus, there are some things I will not hide from you, if you die in the ancient tomb, within ten years, your descendants will definitely enjoy blessings because of this matter, and even benefit for life!” Yinzhi said privately to a personal guard beside him.
