The king behind the empress

Chapter 5 I'm Worth More Than the Throne
Qiu Wuping, the head of the inner court, a fourth-rank human-level powerhouse, can be said to be the most powerful person in the Great Zhou, and can be called the Dinghai Shenzhen of the inner court of the Great Zhou.

The so-called human level is taken from the meaning of being invincible in the world, and the realm beyond the human level only exists in legends. Anyway, Mo Zizai has never heard that there are no third-rank warriors.

The moment he saw him, Mo Zizai turned on the accelerator in an instant, wanting to find Qiu Wuping's download option. If he could obtain part of Qiu Wuping's strength, wouldn't he be able to become a strong player like Zhou Qi in an instant? By.

But it's a pity that there are still the same people in the accelerator, and there is no option for Qiu Wuping, and I don't know how the sand sculpture accelerator is judged.

Feeling slightly disappointed, Mo Zizai closed the accelerator panel and looked at Qiu Wuping in front of him, wondering why he appeared here.

On the other hand, Zhou Qi was not too surprised. When he checked the assassin's body and saw that one assassin's palm seemed to be pierced by something, he already guessed that there was a master protecting him.

It's just that he didn't expect that the one who secretly protected Mo Zizai was the great god Qiu Wuping.

"The old slave was appointed by His Majesty to protect His Highness."

The eunuchs in the inner court can generally be regarded as slaves of the royal family. Although Mo Zizai's father had abolished his humble status when he was in power, those who work in the palace are generally used to calling themselves slaves.

Especially for someone like Qiu Wuping who grew up with Mo Zizai's grandfather in the palace since he was a child. Although his cultivation has reached the human level, he is still used to calling himself an old slave to the direct descendants of the Mo family.

"Your Majesty? The one in the palace?"

For the Empress, Mo Zizai never called His Majesty, but instead used words like her, that in the palace. From these titles, it was enough to see how resentful Mo Zizai was for the Empress, the person who forced his throne.

Hearing Mo Zizai's address, Qiu Wuping sighed slightly, and tried to persuade: "Your Highness, in fact, everything your Majesty does is for your own good."

"For my good?"

Mo Zizai raised his eyebrows slightly. Although he has always hated people telling him that it was for your own good, but based on the virtue of the subjugated king in his predecessor, if Qiu Wuping said that the empress was for his own good, then the empress would be very good. It might be for his own good.

Because, some people really don't know what's good and what's wrong, and they can't tell right from wrong.

"Boss Qiu, why don't you tell me how she treats me well?"

Hearing Mo Zizai's calm tone, Qiu Wuping was slightly taken aback, and then a gleam of joy flooded her heart.

In the past, it's not that Qiu Wuping didn't want to explain to him, but every time he mentioned the first emperor or the empress, this highness would become furious and couldn't listen to it at all.

So after Qiu Wuping came a few times, she didn't bother to talk to him.

Unexpectedly, after he mentioned the Empress this time, Mo Zizai's tone was not very good, but his mood was very calm.

It seems that His Highness has finally matured, not only practicing martial arts in secret, but also calming down a lot.

Qiu Wuping glanced at Mo Zizai with a little relief, and then slowly said: "Your Highness, you know, when the late emperor passed away, what was the situation in my Great Zhou?"

"do not know."

Mo Zizai shook his head honestly, not pretending, but because he really didn't know.

Although this trash in his previous life was a prince, she only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and didn't worry about military and state affairs. Mo Zizai can only think of the court situation now.

That was three years ago, Tang Shuyu, the great general of the Zhu Kingdom, who was also the empress's father, died, and then the eastern border was in an emergency, and Mo Zizai's father urgently recalled the empress to take over the throne.

As for the rest, Mo Zizai didn't know anything.

Qiu Wuping felt a little helpless when Mo Zizai said he did not know so simply, but Qiu Wuping, who knew Mo Zizai well before, was not too surprised, and then asked: "What about the relationship between the former emperor and General Tang?" , His Majesty should know, right?"

"I do know that."

Mo Zizai's father is called Mo Congyi, and he is also an awesome man. When he was still a prince, he was thrown to the Eastern Realm to practice. At that time, he met Tang Shuyu, and together with Tang Shuyu, they started a powerful time. .

At that time, he and Tang Shuyu were good friends, one was called the Great Zhou Army God, the other was called the Great Zhou God of War, the combination of the two was simply invincible.

For 15 years, Mo Congyi and Tang Shuyu fought against three countries, forcibly snatching more than half of the Youji Sixteen Prefectures that controlled the Great Zhou.

However, under the pressure of the Three Kingdoms, they jointly dispatched more than a dozen masters of the fifth-grade soul realm to assassinate Mo Congyi. Intentionally left irreparable injuries.

It was also because of this assassination that Mo Congyi's health had problems, so he returned from the border to become emperor.

"It's good to know."

Seeing that Mo Zizai said he knew, Qiu Wuping nodded and said: "Back then, after the first emperor returned from the border, only General Tang was left to guard the border. Although he was powerless to attack, his strength alone was enough to guard the border."

"The first emperor reigned for seven full years. During these seven years, he made great reforms in the country, while General Tang guarded the eastern border. While defending the three kingdoms of Wei, Lu, and Zheng, he was also deterring some mixed voices in the country. The first emperor acted as a backing."

"It's just that the progress of the late emperor's reforms was probably too hasty, which touched the interests of most people, which led to the death of General Tang."

"Wait..."

Mo Zizai grasped the key points from Qiu Wuping's words very keenly. He looked at Qiu Wuping solemnly and said, "Director Qiu, do you mean that Uncle Tang was betrayed by others?"

For Tang Shuyu, Mo Zizai had always called him Uncle Tang since he was a child, but he never called him that again after the Empress ascended the throne.

Now, when talking about these things with Qiu Wuping, he subconsciously brought out the title Uncle Tang.

"The old slave is not very clear."

Qiu Wuping shook his head. He is just a warrior. Apart from practicing kung fu, he usually protects the safety of the emperor. He doesn't know too much about court affairs. "This matter is just the late emperor's guess. The late emperor said that General Tang I am very cautious in doing things, what I like to do most is to keep one hand, the possibility of being ambushed is very small, and it is even more impossible to wipe out the entire army."

"Unless he was betrayed by his own people, it is absolutely impossible for this to happen."

"It's just that the late emperor's health was already very poor at that time, and he didn't have the energy to investigate this matter at all, so he just told me about it and didn't disclose it to the outside world."

Mo Zizai was silent for a moment, and after a while he said, "They dare to betray Uncle Tang, they are so brave."

"When people are pushed into a hurry, they can do anything."

Regarding Mo Zizai's statement, Qiu Wuping shook his head noncommittally. In his opinion, this matter was caused by the fact that the late emperor was too anxious to take care of many conveniences.

As for what you dare to do, it's all nonsense, the knife is already on someone's neck, let alone a general of the Zhu Kingdom, even the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu dare to kill him.

However, Qiu Wuping didn't say much on this topic, and continued directly: "At that time, because the late emperor was stimulated by General Tang, the old wound that had been suppressed for a long time broke out immediately."

"After waking up, the late emperor knew that his fate was not long, so the late emperor sent his old servant to go to the east to pick Miss Tang back to succeed him. At the same time, the late emperor also took advantage of his still sobriety to cleanse the court and wipe out all possible Those who obstructed Miss Tang's succession were all cleared out of the court."

Probably due to the influence of previous life memories, Mo Zizai blurted out, "Why?"

"why?"

Qiu Wuping glanced at Mo Zizai lightly, the meaning in her eyes was very obvious, why haven't you counted the coins in your heart, you didn't know what you were before, and if you hand over the throne to you in this situation, it is estimated that you will not be able to count the coins three times in a row. If you can't last a year, you have to end the big week.

Mo Zizai was a little embarrassed by Qiu Wuping's eyes, he quickly changed the subject and said, "What I'm talking about is, why did the father pass the throne to her?"

"Although I don't have any brothers, my father does. Why didn't he pass the throne to my uncles, but to someone with a different surname?"

"Because, only if Miss Tang ascends the throne can you survive."

Qiu Wuping took a deep look at Mo Zizai, and said, "If your uncles really become emperors, does your Highness think you can survive safely?"

"..."

What Qiu Wuping said made Mo Zizai speechless. Based on his understanding of those uncles, if they ascended to the throne, he would die unexpectedly in a very short time.

"Actually, whether it's the late emperor or your majesty, everything they do is for you."

Seeing that Mo Zizai fell silent, Qiu Wuping continued: "The first emperor was willing to risk the disgrace of the world just to give you a way out."

"And now His Majesty..."

Speaking of the Empress, Qiu Wuping gave Mo Zizai a complicated look, and after a long pause, he continued, "Actually, Your Majesty, she didn't want to take over the throne."

"She doesn't want to be emperor???"

Hearing Qiu Wuping's words, Mo Zizai couldn't help being a little shocked. In this feudal era, there are still people who don't want to be emperor?

"Yes."

Qiu Wuping nodded, and said: "When the first emperor asked her to take over the throne, she refused without hesitation, because she said she didn't want to steal things from you, and she didn't want you to hate her in the future."

"No matter how much Emperor Ren Xian persuaded me about this matter, she refused to agree."

"Until the end, the late emperor was forced to tell her something hidden about General Tang's death, and the late emperor also told her that only when she becomes emperor can she protect you."

"Not only that, the first emperor also directly promised a marriage letter, hand-picking your marriage with her, saying that as long as the court situation is stable, she can marry you directly."

"With such a combination of soft and hard, she will finally agree to take over the throne."

"What???"

Originally, when he heard the previous part, Mo Zizai's mood was very complicated, but before he could prepare his emotions, he heard the last two sentences, which directly made him completely confused.

Co-authored, the emperor who was regarded as life in his predecessor is not even a fart to the empress.

If his father hadn't sold him out in the end, no one would be the emperor.

If so, doesn't it mean that he is worth more than the throne?

Mo Zizai, who came to this conclusion, was a little dumbfounded, and he didn't know whether he should be happy for his worth.

　By the way, the author who wrote the book on the street has time-traveled. Guess who is writing the book for you now?
