"Father and relatives are still not allowed to be summoned by His Majesty Cheng'an after five days in Chongguo. It is really unreasonable." Zhou Chuanying, the prince of Zhou State, took a meaningful look at Zhou Chuanjing, "Could it be that Brother Jing did something during his mission to offend His Majesty? ?”

When Zhou Chuanying said this, the expressions of the other princes became a little suspicious.They have had this idea for a long time, but they have never said it.Now that someone is taking the lead, they don't need to hide any more.

Zhou Chuanjing was favored by their father, but his own ability was not outstanding.None of Wentao, Wulue can be ranked in the forefront, nor is it too far behind, it can only be regarded as the mean.

This time the mission to Chongguo was very important, many people were unwilling to let Zhou Chuanjing go on mission, but they did not meet the emperor's insistence.If Zhou Chuanjing really did something wrong, they wouldn't be too surprised.

Before Zhou Chuanjing could refute, Zhou Jian spoke first. "I believe in Chuanjing."

The princes couldn't help showing jealousy when they heard the words.

They still couldn't figure out why Zhou Chuanjing was so favored by Zhou Jian.They are all of royal blood, Zhou Chuanjing's mother and concubine are not even as favored as other concubines, why can Zhou Chuanjing catch Zhou Jian's eyes?

"The words and deeds of the sons and ministers in Chongguo are recorded in the book of the envoys accompanying them, and the emperor can look them up. If there is anything wrong, it is better to report the crime to His Majesty Cheng'an in time, so as not to affect the plan." Zhou Chuanjing's words are not just Tell Zhou Jian, and even tell him these imperial brothers and imperial brothers.

"No need." Zhou Jian had no doubts.

"Father, let's review it! The emperor will definitely not have the intention of wronging the country, but after all, he is the first time as an envoy to Chongguo, and there are some details that may not be noticed." The eldest prince Zhou Chuanrui couldn't help but speak. .

"If His Majesty Cheng'an complies with our request, the royal family of the Zhou Kingdom may be permanently stationed in Chongguo. The fault of the imperial brother may become a fatal cause in the future. For the sake of the imperial brother, we should also find out the truth of the matter."

"You're right, please present the documents." Zhou Jian waved at the deputy envoy.

Zhou Chuanrui had a smile on his face, but his heart was involuntarily cold.

If he hadn't mentioned the impact this matter might have on Zhou Chuanjing, the emperor was determined to take Zhou Chuanjing's mistakes lightly and not pursue them.

This kind of doting is rare in ordinary people, and it is even rarer in royal families.But this is a tragedy for them who are also the heirs of Zhou Jian.

The deputy envoy spread out the document in front of Zhou Jian, and after Zhou Jian read the contents of the document, a bit of doubt appeared on his face. "There is nothing wrong with Chuanjing's words and deeds."

Although he had an appearance of trusting Zhou Chuanjing very much on the face before, but he also had some doubts in his heart.

After arriving at the embassy, ​​he requested to meet Yu Chengyuan many times, and mentioned the "Shangjiaoyu map" several times.The domain map draws the territory of the state of Zhou, and the king entrusts the domain map to another king, which is equivalent to agreeing to merge his country into another country.

Although Yu Chengyuan's ambition is clear, he must first be a vassal.Zhou Jian's move was more thorough than Yu Chengyuan's request.

Opening the way with a domain map, it stands to reason that it should be unimpeded.But in reality, they have not been summoned by Yu Chengyuan after several days in the capital.

Except that Zhou Chuanjing annoyed Yu Chengyuan, Zhou Jian couldn't think of any other possibility.

Zhou Chuanrui frowned, took the document and read it from beginning to end.Not only did Zhou Chuanjing's performance not make mistakes as they thought, he could even be said to be advancing and retreating with restraint. "Could it be that His Majesty Cheng'an has really been studying spells these days, even putting off state affairs?"

What Yu Chengyuan said to the outside world was to study spells, they used it as an excuse before.

"Respecting strength has become a general trend, and His Majesty Cheng'an's emphasis on cultivation can also be understood." Zhou Jian glanced at the princes, "Isn't the decision made by our Zhou State also due to the current general trend? If it was a few years ago, such a If the decision is brought up, no one will agree to it.”

"Father is right." Zhou Chuan nodded. "Since this is the case, we can only wait for His Majesty Chengan's study to finish before proposing a meeting."

Zhou Chuanjing still felt a little weird in his heart, but he didn't show it. "His Majesty Cheng'an has the emperor's teacher to teach him, so it won't take much time."

"I hope so." Zhou Jian glanced at Zhou Chuanjing, "In the current situation, if you take a step earlier, you will have a bit of an advantage."

Zhou Chuanying couldn't help reminding, "Father, you said before that His Majesty Cheng An will decide the final candidate."

"You're not joking." Zhou Jian glanced at Zhou Chuanying with a somewhat complicated expression.

The princes were guaranteed again, and felt a little more at ease.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhou Chuanjing felt a little helpless, and he didn't hide it.

Time passed amidst everyone's waiting, and on the seventh day when the Lord Zhou stepped into the Chong Kingdom, he finally received Yu Chengyuan's summons.

"I have seen Zhou Guo's letter of credence." The letter of credence that Yu Chengyuan said was handed over by someone sent by the Lord Zhou when he asked for a meeting.Although the Lord Zhou requested a meeting many times, the contents of the letter of credence are similar with minor differences. "Zhou Guo really decided to hand over the domain map?!"

"The letter of credence is a decision made by Zhou Guo, and there will be no mistakes." Zhou Jian looked firm, "As long as His Majesty responds to Zhou Guo's request, the foreign ministers will voluntarily submit the domain map."

"A request? Tell me about your request." Yu Chengyuan glanced at Zhou Jian.

"This time Zhou Guo handed over the map of the territory, it was a joint decision of civil and military officials, and the people in the territory had no objection. I will become a citizen of Chongguo voluntarily. I hope that His Majesty will continue to appoint the former Zhou Guo officials and treat the people well." Zhou Jianxian Said their first request.

This time they surrendered directly, and the reason why the civil and military officials agreed so neatly was because Zhou Jian had promised them that they would retain their official positions.

There were foundation-building cultivators in Zhou Kingdom long ago, and it was precisely because of this that they understood the gap between the two major ranks of cultivators and could not match them.Instead of making unnecessary sacrifices, it is better to seek a smooth escape for everyone.

Only by voluntarily surrendering can officials keep their positions.Compared with Zhou Guo, today's Chong Guo is a towering tree.With their backs against the big tree, the officials will undoubtedly be safer in this general situation, and they can also give full play to their abilities.

"I can continue to appoint talented and capable officials from Zhou State, but the official positions will inevitably be transferred." Yu Chengyuan has no objection to retaining Zhou State officials.

The reason why the original country and the old land did not appoint the original officials was because the two countries had many wars and blood feuds were hard to resolve.

In recent years, Zhou Guo had only a few minor frictions with them, Chongguo, and there was no major enmity.This time Zhou Guo took the initiative to surrender, and most officials would not have the heart of rebellion.As long as the adjustments are made, those talented people can continue to be employed.

"The transfer of official positions is a common thing, and the courtiers will not have any complaints." Zhou Jian said hurriedly, and then he took a deep breath. "Another request is related to our Zhou royal family."

"Oh?" Yu Chengyuan thought of the results of the investigation in the past few days, and looked up at Zhou Jian.

The emperor of the Zhou Kingdom is indeed an interesting person, and in the eyes of many people he deserves the words 'love and righteousness'.

"By submitting the domain map, the territory of Zhou State will be merged into Chong State, and naturally there will be no royal family of Zhou State. Foreign ministers are not greedy for the throne, but they must always leave a way out for the royal family!" Zhou Jian said with a look on his face. With an obvious request, "Your Majesty, would you like to accept the blood of an orthodox Zhou royal family?"

"Orthodox Zhou royal bloodline?" Yu Chengyuan's tone was somewhat meaningful. "You are going to let me choose from the few in front of me."

Zhou Jian felt that his mind had been seen through, but his face remained unchanged. "yes!"

Yu Chengyuan smiled, glanced at the princes, and finally realized it fell on Zhou Chuanjing.

Zhou Jian's request was really within his expectation.

He brought many princes into Chongguo, but in fact, the orthodox Zhou royal family has only one person, 'Zhou Chuanjing'.

As for the other princes, they have no royal blood at all.Because Zhou Jian...was not a member of the Zhou royal family.

Among them, the secrets of the Zhou royal family were naturally involved.

Zhou Jian was born of a court lady, who was mistaken for the blood of the emperor, and was raised under the knee of the queen who had not given birth for many years.Two years after he was adopted, the queen's stomach started to move, and the next prince of Zhou was born.Zhou Jian was raised in the way of a virtuous king, and he has a deep relationship with the prince.

The world is impermanent, the prince died early in a disaster, and only one son remained.As a virtuous king, Zhou Jian was elected emperor by the rest of the prince's party. He knew that he was not of royal blood, so he valued Zhou Chuanjing far more than his own blood, and he always had the idea of ​​restoring the orthodoxy of the Zhou royal family.

Zhou Chuanjing has no ambition to be a king, and prefers to travel around.Zhou Jian tried several times to no avail, so he prepared to make a decision after Zhou Chuanjing gave birth to a bloodline, never thinking that the general situation would change.

However, this change in the general trend should be regarded as a good thing in Zhou Jian's eyes.

Zhou Chuanjing had no idea about the throne, but he would not refuse to become a cultivator.Although Zhou Guoguo changed hands because of this, the status of Yu Chengyuan's disciples is likely to be more honorable than the royal family in the future.

Mu Jin regarded this Chongguo envoy as a test for him, and Yu Chengyuan took it seriously.In the past few days, he delayed the meeting time because he was studying the problems among Zhou's royal family.

On the one hand, he arranged for people to search for Zhou Guo's secrets, on the other hand, he insisted on investigating several people with his spiritual sense.After two days of continuous investigation, he just realized the problem.

As the contractor of the divine beast, Yu Chengyuan is much clearer about the blood connection than ordinary people, and he also knows how to detect the blood.Between relatives who are connected in one vein, one can faintly feel the pull of blood.Zhou Jian and other princes have them, but Zhou Chuanjing doesn't.

With the help of his spiritual sense, he could only confirm that Zhou Chuanjing was not Zhou Jian's blood, and he could not restore the truth.The other messages are the answers given to him by his subordinates.

Mu Jin regarded Chongguo affairs as a test, which should be a test of his knowledge and use of divine consciousness.If he didn't earnestly study the perception method he got from the Nether Wolf, and didn't persevere in sensing the blood of these people, he might really ignore it.

If it is not certain that there is no blood relationship between Zhou Jian and Zhou Chuanjing, it is impossible for the people he sent to find out the truth within a few days.

This test is not difficult for Yu Chengyuan.Obviously, Mu Jin let the water go.

Yu Chengyuan couldn't help turning his head to look at Mu Jin who was sitting not far from the throne. When the two looked at each other, his expression softened a bit.

This golden palace is not a good place to exchange feelings.Yu Chengyuan quickly looked away, "I can accept a disciple of the orthodox Zhou royal family, and choose from among them."

Zhou Jian didn't know for a moment whether Yu Chengyuan had seen through his intentions. "Your Majesty doesn't need to ask the emperor's teacher for advice?"

The reason why he dared to ask Yu Chengyuan to choose the orthodox Zhou royal bloodline was because he heard that Mu Jin knew the sky and divination, so he would definitely be able to see the hidden meaning of the "orthodox royal bloodline".

"Master has already given me my opinion." Yu Chengyuan and Mu Jin exchanged glances.

Mu Jin must have seen Zhou's domain map and credential, and also clearly saw the blood relationship of Zhou's royal family, so it is not difficult to guess Zhou Jian's plan.

Knowing Zhou Jian's intentions, Mu Jin regarded the Chongguo royal family as his test, obviously he didn't dislike Zhou Chuanjing.Mu Jin didn't dislike Zhou Chuanjing, and Zhou Chuanjing's temperament and ability were not too bad, plus Zhou Guo was bound by him... Yu Chengyuan naturally made a decision.
