Chapter 14671 Proposal

Zuoqiu Zhi and the Twelve Companies actually have a cooperative relationship and are just using each other. Everything Zuoqiu Zhi does has only one purpose, which is to sit on that position. He always feels that he is the most suitable person to sit on that position. If his father had not issued an edict to give the position to Zuoqiu Wen, he believes that he is the one who is most likely to become the emperor. Therefore, he has always believed that Zuoqiu Wen is not suitable for that position. He is too weak. He has not resolved the affairs of those big families over the years. In Zuoqiu Zhi's view, this is a manifestation of incompetence. However, he cannot directly send troops to kill Zuoqiu Wen. If he really does that, it would be tantamount to leaving a mouth for others, and then others could rebel against him. At that time, it would be really over.

He cooperated with the Twelve Companies just for money. Once he had money and people, he would show a little goodwill to those big families, believing that they would support him in taking the position. As long as everyone supported him, Zuoqiu Wen would have to give up his position. Of course, he would not let Zuoqiu Wen go, and he also believed that Zuoqiu Wen would never let go. However, at that time, he would only need a simple coup, without the need for a big war.

Originally his plan was very good, and Ma Luo was already his man, but he did not expect that a sudden failure of Ma Luo and his team's action would directly expose Ma Luo and his team, which disrupted his plan. What made him even more uncomfortable was that this action of Ma Luo and his team was ordered by the people of the Twelve Company, not by him. He did not even know the purpose of Ma Luo and his team's action until Zuo Qiuwen told him that he knew that the purpose of Ma Luo and his team's action was to kill Zhao Hai, and the reason for killing Zhao Hai was because Zhao Hai was studying spiritual roots.

To be honest, Zuoqiu Zhi was really shocked when he heard the news. He didn't expect that Zuoqiu Wen was doing this. If he knew that Zuoqiu Wen was doing this, he would definitely support Zuoqiu Wen. This also made him understand that the people of the Twelve Companies were not completely in agreement with him. If the people of the Twelve Companies were completely in agreement with him, they would never let Malo do this. Because if Zuoqiu Wen succeeded in this matter, the ones who would be most affected would be the Twelve Companies and those big families. The reason why the Twelve Companies and those big families dared to confront the royal family was because they had many star lord-level masters. Once the royal family really studied the spiritual roots, it would be a completely different matter. They could truly cultivate people like the other six realms, and then the royal family could suppress the Twelve Companies and those big families, and they could slowly take back their power. This was why the Twelve Companies took action.

Although Zuoqiu Zhi disagreed with the Twelve Companies taking action now, he was very clear that he had to act as soon as possible. If Zuoqiu Wen really figured out the spiritual roots, then he would have no chance. By then, Zuoqiu Wen's reputation would reach its highest point, and it would be impossible for him to force Zuoqiu Wen to abdicate, so he had to act quickly.

But how to act? What excuse should be used? Zuo Qiuzhi kept thinking, and after a while he suddenly thought, can this matter be used as an excuse? In those big families, many people don't know that Zuo Qiuwen is studying those spiritual roots. Can this news be leaked out? As long as this news can be leaked out, it will definitely cause the full opposition of those big families. At that time, he can make some promises to those big families. With the support of those big families and the twelve companies, he can force Zuo Qiuwen to abdicate. Of course, this does not mean that he will not study the spiritual roots. As long as he becomes the emperor, the first thing is to study the spiritual roots. As long as he succeeds in studying the spiritual roots, then there will be no problem in cleaning up those big families and the twelve companies. But this matter must be done in secret. If Zuo Qiuwen knows, his plan will not succeed.

Before he knew it, Zuoqiu Zhi fell asleep. He had to go back and study this matter carefully with his men, and then see what action to take. When he thought of this, Zuoqiu Zhi had a smile on his face even in his sleep.

In the following few days, the capital star was calm and nothing happened. It was the time for the monthly court meeting. In the palace hall, all the ministers were already in place. Zuoqiu Wen then walked into the hall and sat on the dragon throne. The ministers below immediately saluted Zuoqiu Wen and said, "Your Majesty, may your Majesty live long." Here, when they saluted the emperor, they could not say "Long live the emperor", but only "Long live the emperor", because those of them who practiced cultivation lived a very long time. Although no one could live to be ten thousand years old, no one would like to add a time limit to their lifespan, so now they said "Long live the emperor" when they saluted the emperor.

Zuo Qiuwen nodded, then said, "Please stand up." All the ministers stood up straight. At this time, Decai said, "If you have a report, report it as soon as possible. If you don't, leave the court." This is also a rule passed down from the past. In fact, the emperor knows what kind of report the ministers need to submit in many cases. It is nothing more than bringing up a matter for everyone to discuss together. Most things have actually been dealt with long ago. The things that can be brought up for discussion are all some more difficult things. Of course, they may also be sudden things.

At this time, a minister stood up and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have a memorial to report." After that, he took out a memorial and presented it with both hands. Decai walked over, took his memorial with both hands, and then placed it on Zuoqiu Wen's desk. The ministers looked at the minister who submitted the memorial with some confusion. The minister's position was not very high. He was just a fourth-rank official. No one really knew what he was going to report. So these ministers were very puzzled. At this time, the minister said: "Your Majesty, I heard that there were some disturbances in the royal gardens some time ago. For this reason, the palace has strengthened its vigilance. However, I think that it is not enough for the palace to strengthen its vigilance. Your Highness the Crown Prince, as the crown prince, should also strengthen protection. Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to prepare six rates of the Crown Prince, with a full staffing." As soon as he said this, the hall was silent. Everyone looked at that man as if they were looking at a fool.

You must know that the Six Rides of the Prince have never been fully staffed since the day they were established. No prince in history dared to let the Six Rides of the Prince be fully staffed. If the Six Rides of the Prince were fully staffed, the number of people would be quite large. You must know that when the Six Rides of the Prince were first established, the number of people in each rate was around 20,000. If all six rates were fully staffed, the number of people would have to reach at least 130,000. And there is no regulation on what kind of people these 130,000 people should be. If these 130,000 people are all star lord-level masters, then what a powerful force it will be. The most important thing is that the Six Rides of the Prince are stationed here on the capital star and are not far from the imperial palace. There is such an army near the imperial palace, and this army is controlled by the prince, not the emperor. The emperor would probably not even be able to sleep well, right? It was precisely because of this that when those people heard him submit a memorial to allow the Crown Prince to have a full complement of six troops, they all looked at him as if he were a fool. By doing this, he did not seem to be helping the Crown Prince, but was harming him instead.

Zuo Qiuzheng's face was also very ugly. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a voice saying, "Father, I think this is polite. My elder brother is the crown prince, and his protection is also very important. If anything happens to the crown prince of our empire, it will be a disgrace to our empire. Please grant me your approval." Zuo Qiuyu suddenly stood up and expressed his support.

Everyone was stunned by him. You know, Zuoqiu Yu had a conflict with Zuoqiu Zheng before, which everyone knew. It stands to reason that Zuoqiu Zheng's strength becoming stronger is definitely not a good thing for him. Why would he support it? However, everyone soon figured it out. Even if the six rates of the prince were fully staffed, Zuoqiu Zheng would not dare to take action against Zuoqiu Wen. On the contrary, it would only make Zuo Bingwen hate the prince. Once Zuoqiu Wen hated the prince, even if his six rates of the prince were fully staffed, what would happen? In the end, he was afraid that he would not be able to keep his position as the prince, so Zuoqiu Yu jumped out to support that person. He was actually adding fuel to the fire.

The ministers were not fools. They understood what was going on as soon as they rolled their eyes. Then they all turned their heads to look at Zuo Qiuwen and saw that his face had changed and became a little gloomy. At this time, Zuo Qiuzheng wanted to stand up again, but a minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I reconsider." Immediately, another minister stood up and shouted, "I reconsider." For a while, the voices of reconsidering were endless, and Zuo Qiuwen's face became more and more ugly. Zuo Qiuzheng's face became more and more ugly. Finally, he didn't care what the ministers said, and stood up and said, "Father, I have no such intention. Please understand."

Zuoqiu Wen glanced at Zuoqiu Zheng, then said in a deep voice: "The ministers are right. The prince is the crown prince, how can we not pay attention to the protection around him? It seems that the prince has a very high status in their hearts. Okay, I approve." After that, he stood up, flicked his sleeves, and walked straight to the harem. The ministers hurriedly saluted and said, "Farewell, Your Majesty." After Zuoqiu Wen's figure disappeared, everyone straightened up, but Zuoqiu Zheng was still kneeling there, looking absent-minded. The ministers looked at the prince with complicated expressions. Some of them gloated over the misfortune, while others were secretly regretful. But everyone knew that after this incident, a rift had appeared between the prince and the emperor. Thinking of this, everyone looked at Zuoqiu Zheng with sympathy on their faces.

  Zuoqiu Yu had a smile on his face as he followed the ministers out, his eyes filled with unconcealable joy, he was really happy. Even though Zuoqiu Zheng's six princes could be fully staffed this time, he had offended Zuoqiu Wen, it was hard to say whether Zuoqiu Zheng could still be the prince in the future. If Zuoqiu Zheng could not be the prince, then he would have a chance. Not only him, but other princes also thought so. Those who supported the full staffing of the six princes today were almost all people from other princes, and their purpose was the same as Zuoqiu Yu's.
