Section 4 Premeditation

"King, I am wronged, I am loyal to the King..."

He was questioned one general and one minister was executed one after another. Others were afraid to speak, for fear that the angry King Zheng would be punished with reasons as soon as he spoke.

The queen was listening inside, worried. She suddenly woke up and hurriedly asked someone to invite Zuo Shuchang to the palace. At this moment, the only one who could make King Zheng calm was probably Zuo Shuchang.

Soon, Zuo Shuchang arrived, and several of the ministers were gloating at seeing him as bad as he was, but most of them were relieved to show joy, hoping that Zuo Shuchang would persuade King Zheng to calm his anger.

"My dear, please pay homage to the king."

The originally angry King Zheng suppressed his anger and calmed down for a moment before saying, "Zuo Shuchang is exempted from courtesy. I have said that Zuo Shuchang can see that I will not worship at any time."

"The king loves you very much, but the minister is the minister. When you see the king, you will be worshipped."

King Zheng sighed and pointed at Zuo Shuchang around his ministers and said, "Look, Zuo Shuchang's loyalty is your model and example!"

"I heard that the king was furious about the matter of Emperor Zhou, and hurried over to listen to the king's orders."

"Zuo Shuchang!" Zheng Wang shook his head and signaled him to sit beside him. "Tell me, I have been wise all my life. Now that I see that the yellow-haired child is about to enter the capital, will I still kneel in front of the people of the world?" After Zheng Wang said that, he regretted and beat the dragon throne repeatedly. "I regret not listening to Zuo Shuchang's words..."

"The reason why the king did not accept my opinion at the beginning was the mercy of the king, not the unwise of the king. Most of the ministers did not know the relationship between the king and the Zhou emperor. Of course, it was thought that the king had to kill the Zhou emperor. The advice was wrong at the beginning. I knew that the king had always been grateful to the Zhou emperor, but in order to avoid any accidents, he advised the king to make such decisions. It was originally wrong for me."

King Zheng sighed and said, "Zuo Shuchang, Zuo Shuchang. Only you know my intentions well. Although I regret it at this moment, I still can't do it after I let me use the sword of Zheng's army to kill Zhou Xianhuang--"

"The king is kind and righteous. But I didn't expect that the Zhou emperor Ao Pan would dare to come to Zhengdu so ignorantly and show his power in front of the king. If I had known this, I would rather bear the death penalty of violating the order and disrespectful, than to suffer from the burden of the king's face."

"Zuo Shuchang should not blame himself so much. Zuo Shuchang has always been loyal to Zheng State. I have been giving many instructions. How could Zuo Shuchang disobey orders? But at this moment, I am really unhappy. What kind of virtue can a yellow-haired child be? Zuo Shuchang, you said, I should be like this now. I didn't listen to Zuo Shuchang's words to cause disaster today. If Zuo Shuchang has an idea, it's okay. I don't want to say anything, I don't want to do anything!" After Zheng said that, he looked at a minister with his head down and said, "Jiang Chen just reported that he should kill the Emperor of Zhou to avoid endless troubles. Zuo Shuchang thought..."

"I think it's absolutely not possible."

“Why?”

"Everyone in the world knows that the Emperor of Zhou entered Zheng, how could he kill him at this time?"

King Zheng hesitated and whispered: "Zuo Shuchang, the previous version of the king was too soft-hearted and had too many concerns..."

"What I just said is just one of them."

"Okay, Zuo Shuchang continues."

"There is more than Ao Pan nowadays. The Wanxia clan has the descendants of the Moon and the Star Tribe. Killing Ao Pan will be of no use."

"It's reasonable, it's reasonable. Although there has never been a woman in the world as a king. However, our Zheng State has produced the world's number one martial master, and my king's sister. The Zhou State may not dare to establish an empress in a helpless manner. The Black Wolf Clan once had a powerful woman as Darobi in the past, and it is more acceptable to this."

“That’s exactly that.”

"What should Zuo Shuchang think this matter should be done?"

"Ao Pan is not important now. If the king does not want to lose face, he should not kneel down to him. The king has a deep friendship with the Zhou emperor. In the past, the Zhou emperor once said that he would not let the king kneel down. How could the new emperor be above the Zhou emperor?"

Of course, Emperor Zhou had never said such words, but King Zheng already understood what Zuo Shuchang meant. The remnant life that Emperor Zhou ended under the custody of Zheng State. Whether Emperor Zhou said it was not important, because Zheng State said that there was such a thing, that was this thing.

"What Zuo Shucheng said is extremely true. I am confused, I am confused! Although the Zhou Xianhuang said it at the beginning, I have always been grateful to Zhou Xianhuang and dared not to kneel down and bow down. If Zuo Shucheng had not reminded me that I had forgotten this matter!" King Zheng was immediately in a hurry to solve this problem.

"Why is Zuo Shuchang saying that Ao Pan is irrelevant?"

"Ao Pan originally did nothing and could do it. Nowadays, Ao Pan seems to be a big problem, but in fact there are other people who are very different."

King Zheng suddenly realized: "The Princess of the Wanxia Clan and the Left Bank of Narobi?"

"The king is wise. But the two sisters of the Bai family are second to the Zuoban. As far as I have investigated today, if the Wanxia clan does not have the Left Bank, it is difficult for the Bai family to have today. If there is no Left Bank, the Wanxia clan does not have to wait for our Zheng State to do anything, and they will soon be killed by the Black Wolf clan Luobi."

"Is this Left Bank so powerful?"

"This person is a combination of the rise and fall of the Wanxia clan. In the Wanxia clan, he is invincible for martial virtue and virtue. One day, the Wanxia clan will have no internal worries. If he is not there, the Wanxia clan will inevitably have internal worries and cannot be saved. This time, the left bank is brave enough to accompany the Zhou emperor into Zheng, which is a good opportunity to eradicate!"

"In this way, since this Left Bank has extraordinary knowledge, why did it enter Zheng again?"

"So people are extremely ambitious. Let me ask the king, if the Emperor Zhou emperor enters Zhengguan to fight the Shenwu Ring, then the heroes of the world gather together. The king must be respectful to the emperor, and the important ministers and envoys sent by the countries must be respectful to the emperor. In the eyes of the people of the world, what would they think?"

After thinking for a while, King Zheng understood. "Hmph! What a Left Bank, so arrogant. Isn't this a way to show the prestige of Zhou to the people of the world, so that the people of the world can remember Zhou and let the world surrender! - But, this Left Bank was named the Northern King by the emperor, and the former killing of our Zheng generals cannot be punished. He, one of the Northern Kings, could not do anything! What is Zuo Shuchang's opinion on this?"

"Reporting back to the king, I have already made a decision, and I only rely on the king's decision. Of course, our Zheng State cannot openly harm the Northern King, who was granted by the emperor. The King should not care about his killing of General Ling. But our Zheng State has a country, China - Feixian Sect. His Beijun killed the disciples of Feixian Sect, and his two princesses once led the crowd to kill several disciples of Feixian Sect. Feixian Sect has always been revenge and will never stop. If Feixian Sect wants to seek revenge, how can the king interfere?"
