Shendou Continent

Chapter 212

Speaking of the relationship between Xiao Zhou and King Jian, it goes back to the second generation of King Jian.

At that time, the second generation King Jian and Emperor Yongli went to Wuyuntou teacher to learn art at the same time, Emperor Yongli worshiped Ziyun Peak, and the second generation King Jian worshiped Baiyun Peak.In order for the two of them to study art seriously, Emperor Kangtai asked them to each choose a young eunuch to accompany them, and the rest were treated the same as Wuyun's other disciples.The two are of the same family and different peaks, and have studied arts for many years. Although they are in a competitive relationship, they are of the same royal blood and have known each other since childhood.Xiao Zhou, who was the personal eunuch of Emperor Yongli, was naturally acquainted with the second generation King Jian.

Later, Emperor Yongli and his son won the competition for the throne, and King Jian and his son began to fade out of the core of power.Xiao Zhou was naturally delighted that Emperor Yongli won. He longed for power since he was a child, and thought that once he made a fortune, he would be able to hold power.Unexpectedly, although Emperor Yongli trusted him, he only made him a moderate young prison in the Rites Supervisor, which made him very distressed.

The Ouyue court set up a special agency for eunuchs, with twelve supervisors and twelve bureaus, a total of 24 yamen, which not only dealt with palace affairs, but also handled some government affairs.However, there are many levels of eunuchs. Eunuchs who have just entered the palace can only be assigned to one of the 24 yamen as a pawn book, long follower or imperial guard, and then they can be promoted to Jiancheng according to their performance. It is the eunuch.In addition to the supervisor of ceremonies, the highest eunuchs in other yamen held the seal of eunuchs.However, in addition to the palm seal eunuch, the Lijian also had the Bingbi eunuch, and there was more than one Bingbi eunuch, and their power was higher than that of other yamen eunuchs.

According to Xiao Zhou's position, there are a lot of eunuchs above him as a young eunuch, which is inevitable for an ambitious man to be disappointed.In fact, according to his qualifications and cultivation at that time, although being a young eunuch was not prominent, it was not a grievance, because many eunuchs in the Ouyue court were high-level fighters, and Xiao Zhou was only a Brahma fighter back then. Gaining the emperor's trust does not necessarily mean leapfrogging.He came from a bitter background. Although he entered the palace early, he was determined to stand out, so he was extremely eager for power.With such a step-by-step arrangement, he felt that he was sorry for the hardships he had suffered in Wuyunmen these years.Although he didn't dare to make mistakes in the palace, but what he thought and what he said, the eunuchs who went up the mountain with the second generation King Jian knew his thoughts after passing by.

Thus, he came into King Jian's sight. Out of revenge, King Jian and his son were actively instigating the brothers of Emperor Yongli to turn against each other.Therefore, King Jian took the initiative to show his favor to him, and he was naturally very honored.Over time, he and King Jian got closer.After understanding Xiao Zhou's thoughts, King Jian encouraged him to find another way out, and introduced Qian Lu to him, who would later become Emperor Changhua.Qian Lu was generous and made a wish for him to be an official, which made him, who was obsessed with power, deviate from Emperor Yongli step by step.Finally, he turned to Qian Lu at the end and betrayed Emperor Yongli at the critical moment.

Qian Lu began to fulfill his promise after he came to power, and he was appointed as the eunuch of the Rites and Bingbi, and became the core eunuch of the Da Nei.But being with a king is like a tiger, he felt a lot of pressure by Emperor Changhua's side.Because he had experience as a traitor and knew some inside stories, Emperor Changhua not only didn't trust him, but regarded him as a thorn in his side, and tried to find excuses several times to get rid of him quickly.

In this environment, Xiao Zhou was in danger, and he began to regret his greed.But there is no regret medicine in the world, his fate is not in his own hands, the only thing he can do is to be diligent and cautious.As a well-known eunuch in charge of ceremonies and Bingbi, he knelt down and served Emperor Changhua as much as he could like a little eunuch.Doing so, indeed made Emperor Changhua's murderous intentions towards him a little less.

But relying on these alone is far from enough, he needs to find a backer with more power to speak.So, he found King Jian again. He is the eunuch next to the emperor, and he may be of great use in the future, so King Jian is willing to continue to help him.In this way, with his own efforts and the good words of King Jian and his son, Emperor Changhua did not kill him after consideration, but sent him out of the palace.

He has been there for 20 years.But he was not discouraged. Although he was outside, his heart was always towards Hangjing. He was conscientious, and for 20 years, he did his best for Emperor Changhua.In order to protect himself, he also actively turned to King Jian, and built a deep trust with him.At the same time, he made use of his talent as a fighter to practice painstakingly, and his cultivation level improved day by day.

Finally, under the continuous suggestion of the first generation of King Jian, he re-entered the palace after 20 years of wandering around. After that, he gradually gained the trust of Emperor Changhua and gradually reached the peak of eunuch.Emperor Changhua was gradually entering his twilight years, but he broke through the cultivation base of Xuanjing.Finally, he became the new generation eunuch of the Ouyue Empire's ceremonial supervisor, and obtained the supreme power that he longed for and dreamed of since he was a child.

Looking back on the past, Xiao Zhou's journey seems to be as ordinary as water, but also as thrilling as it is.Those moments on the verge of life and death, those bloody moments, those dreadful days are all his life and unforgettable experiences in his life.Originally, he thought that after he succeeded, he would no longer pursue it, but when his cultivation reached level 79 of the Profound Realm, his heart gradually ignited desire again.His life has entered the twilight years, he longs for a breakthrough in cultivation and prolongs his life.And to do this, apart from his own efforts, he needs a pill, Shenhu Pill, one of the three soul pills in the mainland.And this kind of elixir is extremely precious, the entire Ouyue may be in single digits, and the entire Ouyue royal family may only have two or three in the hands of the emperor.

In the past two or three hundred years, the cultivation bases of Emperor Ouyue and the princes are far from the realm of Shenhu Pill. They don't need it at all. For so many years, they have never heard of any concubine who needs the cultivation base of Shenhu Pill, let alone I love my concubine.There is a precedent for a relative to be granted Shenhu Pill, but it has been a long time ago.The last time the emperor bestowed pills was Xinfeng's four-year reward to Ke Wuxin.And he managed to gain the trust of Emperor Changhua, and after Emperor Xinfeng came to power, he was marginalized again, and it was impossible to find Xinfeng to seek Dan.He wanted to steal pills in the past, but there was nowhere to hide after that.He was already used to the life in the Ouyue Palace. He was old and didn't want to run around and wander around anymore. He also had such days when he was released.

Later, the conflict between Emperor Xinfeng and King Lu's party became more and more intense, and he smelled something different. He suspected that King Lu had the intention of rebelling, but what did the two dragons have to do with him?It wasn't until Jianwang's people came to him that he knew that the world was about to change drastically.These three generations of Jian Wang have always been worried about losing the throne. Qian Yu also worked hard to realize the wish of his father and ancestors, and has accumulated a lot of word-of-mouth in the royal family.King Jian promised him that not only the gold and wealth would be ignored, but he would also be given the Divine Lake Pill to help him break through the holy realm.With such a big hand, and being a comrade in arms for many years, how can he not be tempted?
After careful planning between him and King Jian, he intends to intensify the conflict between Emperor Xinfeng and King Lu, so that their brothers will turn against each other, and a snipe and a clam will fight, and the fisherman will benefit.Unexpectedly, the protector of the country was so eager to protect his grandson that he pulled the head to him. That's fine, then a praying mantis catches the cicada directly, and the oriole is behind.

After he conspired with King Jian, King Jian sent two masters supported by a lot of money to let him find the right time to bring them into the palace to assassinate Emperor Xinfeng, and then he would come forward to escort him to win the favor of the emperor while intensifying the conflict between the Xinfeng brothers. , laying the groundwork for the next plan.Of these two masters, one has just entered the profound realm, and the other is not yet an advanced virtual realm fighter, but he deliberately poured water on the virtual realm fighter, making people mistakenly believe that the other party is an advanced profound realm like him, which also successfully interfered with Emperor Xinfeng's judgment .

The task of those two masters is not to kill people, because even if they succeed in killing people at this time, King Lu will be unscathed, and the goal will not be achieved.Their purpose was to make an assassination move, take advantage of Emperor Xinfeng's suspicion, and detonate the conflict between him and King Lu.In order not to reveal the identity of the assassin, Xiao Zhou has to wait for the opportunity to investigate and help the assassin escape.In the end, in order to make the clothes seamless, King Jian took advantage of the assassins' surprise and poisoned them to death, destroying their corpses and eliminating their traces.So that Dai Lin had no clue for months to investigate the case.

The Lord Protector thought that Xiao Zhou had a history of treason, and it was rash to try to win him over by seducing him with the Shenhu Pill.Although it looked like Xiao Zhou was helping him from the back, he was actually pushing him and King Lu into the pit of fire step by step.This plan of the Royal Party failed in terms of the selection of the best policy candidates.
