Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 153
"My lord, don't mention this matter again." Zhou Wen was a little sad.

"Okay, I will find another mate for Yuanfang in the future."

Zhou Wen immediately changed the subject and said: "Fortunately, I did not disgrace the mission of the lord. This trip to the south has yielded a lot of harvest. I bought back 30 shi of grain and grass, and persuaded Gan Ning to come and join him, adding a general. If you haven't found it, why did my lord look for Deng Ai?"

Zhou Cang didn't speak, but just looked at Zhou Wen, making his hair stand on end. "I don't know what orders my lord has?"

"I have never told outsiders about my confidantes. I think you are sincere, and now I want to tell you something important." Zhou Cang stared at Zhou Wen, "I only trust you, can you afford my trust? ?”

"My lord, Zhou Wen has offended the world. He has no one to rely on and has been taken in by the lord. How can he not make every effort to repay the lord's great favor!"

"Okay! Then I'll tell you. My Zhou family is not unknown. I was born after the former Gaozu Taiwei Zhou Bo." Zhou Cang said.Zhou Cang picked up the clay pot slowly and poured a glass of wine for himself and Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen was taken aback. This is a good thing. After Liu Bang died, Lu Zhi took control of the government. It was Zhou Bo who supported the Liu family to overthrow the Lu family and keep the Liu family. So what?Zhou Wen didn't dare to speak, so he could only listen carefully.

"You must have heard of Xu Negative." Zhou Cang continued, and Zhou Wen nodded. Xu Neg was rumored to be a well-known fortune teller in the late Qin Dynasty. No one knew about it.

"Xu Negative once looked at the family ancestor Zhou Bo, and said: Han Xing will prosper, and Liu Xiao will not. That is to say, if the Han clan of my Zhou family prospers, we will also prosper, so our ancestors will spare no effort to support the Han clan. I personally oppose the Lu family, and our Zhou family has always upheld the ancestral precepts." Zhou Cang thought for a long time before he came up with such a big lie, for some unexplainable things, it is best to describe him as illusory providence.Zhou Wen nodded. This is very logical. If it was because of this reason that Zhou Bo was able to support the Liu family and become a key figure, it made perfect sense. There is no market for Zhou Wen to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

"My family's descendant is the third son Zhou Jian. Ever since the eldest brother Zhou Sheng and the second brother Zhou Yafu were convicted, and Wen Jingzhi ruled the world, Zhou Jiande, the son of Zhou Jian, was convicted of deliberately donating gold and not good enough. However, this ancestral precept has been carried on forever." As expected of a liberal arts student, Zhou Cang knew a thing or two about Zhou Bo's family background, and he spoke clearly and logically.

Zhou Wen was dumbfounded when he heard that, no wonder Zhou Cang has such a genius, he is proficient in both civil and military affairs, and he has extensive knowledge. It turns out that he is a child of a noble family.

"However, the members of the Zhou clan in the past dynasties have been thinking: what does Liu Xiao mean? It was not until Wang Mang usurped the throne. After experiencing the two emperors Huan Ling, my father understood: the Han Dynasty is not prosperous, and if the Liu family loses the country, we The Zhou family will be extinct. The Zhou family has been passed down for several generations, and my father only had me when he was in his 40s." Only the last sentence is true.

Zhou Wen was stunned by this sentence, it was too unbelievable.This means that the Han Dynasty has come to an end, and the Zhou family has also lost its blood?Without knowing it, he drank the wine in the glass.

"After my father realized it, he wanted to go against the sky. He didn't want to be an official. He only sought to save the Han family and inherit the Zhou family. Unfortunately, he couldn't change it. Before he died, he warned me that if God's will is so, you can't force it." Zhou Cang then embarrassed De said: "I am 34 years old, and I have been married for nearly ten years, but I have never had any children... I am afraid that I have fulfilled the judgment of the year."

Zhou Wen blurted out: "My lord, you mean that the Han Dynasty is beyond salvation, and you will no longer have blood?"

"Exactly. That's why it happened back then: Walking from the west to Chang'an, there is no difficulty. Alas, I thought that moving back to the old capital could save the Han Dynasty, but I didn't expect that I would escort the emperor back to Luoyang. Manpower cannot overcome the sky, Good luck tricks people!" Zhou Cang was overwhelmed by his superb acting skills.

"My lord, don't be discouraged, my lord is still young..."

Zhou Cang shook his head, "This is also the reason why you persuaded me to compete in the world, but I have been hesitant. One is that I still want to revive the Han Dynasty, and the other is that even if I can aspire to the world, I cannot inherit and continue. It is not a bamboo basket. Get water?"

"The lord thought of a way to deal with it?"

"After the Shichang servants were in chaos and Dong Zhuo monopolized power, I thought of a law: limit the power of the monarch. There is a cloud in Zuo Zhuan: the important affairs of the country are enshrined in the Rong. The emperor entrusts the ruling power to the courtiers, and the court discusses it together. The emperor does not care about virtue. The Han Dynasty can survive." Zhou Cang mentioned the very immature constitutional monarchy, and now Liu Xie's treatment is similar to this, but now it is Cao Cao's decision, it is Cao Cao's words, and the so-called court is actually Cao Cao's Sikong Mansion.

Zhou Wen was silent. He really didn't know what to say. Zhou Cang said this shocking secret at this time because he had other thoughts besides trust in himself.This method will inevitably lead to the dictatorship of the ministers and overthrow this mechanism again, but since Zhou Cang has this idea, there must be other backers.Zhou Wen didn't dare to continue with these sensitive topics, so he quickly changed the topic.

"The subordinate understands, so the lord made the plan to adopt the adopted son." Zhou Wen took the initiative to refill the two of them with wine.

Zhou Cang nodded, "You're right, and thanks to your reminder, I didn't accept Dian Man as my adopted son. After all, we all know that he is Dian Wei's son. I accepted Wei Yan as my disciple, not only letting him inherit my mantle, but also cultivating him. He, let's see if he can inherit my inheritance, but he was already old when Wei Yan was taken in."

"Then, this Deng Ai?" Zhou Wen was startled again, and immediately woke up. "The subordinate is not effective, please punish the master."

"Oh, these are all God's will. Besides, whether there is such a person, whether he is born or not is still unknown. I also found out such a name through divination." Zhou Cang said.

"I haven't reported to my lord yet. When my subordinate passed through Nanyang, I made a special trip to Weijia Village. I really missed it. After inquiring about the village, I found out that the Wei family had moved south to Jingzhou to avoid the war. I didn't find them in Jingzhou." Zhou Wen I feel more and more that I have messed things up, and the achievements I have achieved are so insignificant.

"The lord told his confidant, Yuan Fang was terrified. I don't know what the lord has sent, but Yuan Fang will die." Zhou Wen was already profusely sweating.

"Only you and I know about this matter, and it can't be passed on. Yuan Fang still needs to reassure the generals with me, don't leak the beginning and the end." Zhou Cang said, "It is gratifying if we can find a suitable inheritance again. If not, I will Find a family background for everyone, but Yuan Fang will always be with me, in the future you will restore your name, recognize your ancestors and return to your hometown, it is unknown."

"This subordinate is very honored. I have searched all over the world, and I will definitely find a good candidate for my lord."
