The Zuoqiu family has ruled the Star Empire for nearly ten thousand years, and the number of people in their family is also very prosperous. However, the Zuoqiu family has a rule, that is, except for direct members of the family, other family members are not allowed to have titles.
The king is not allowed to have a fiefdom. He can take care of them while they are doing other things, and he can also give them a sum of money every month to support them. However, if they are incapable, they must not be given too much power.
, so here in the Star Empire, there are not many people from the Zuoqiu family who hold real power, it can even be said that there are very few. After all, not all people from the Zuoqiu family are geniuses, and they have to compete with the entire Star Empire.
, often cannot compete with each other, but their lives are often not difficult.
In fact, another reason why the Zuoqiu family cannot take power is that those ministers are up to something. After years of development, those ministers have become very powerful, so they began to plot against the Zuoqiu family.
Under the same excellent situation, people with other surnames should be given priority, and people from the Zuoqiu family can be used instead of people from the Zuoqiu family. It is precisely because of this that people from the Zuoqiu family have more and more real power.
Young Master, this is also the ancestral precept of the Zuoqiu family. Whenever the Zuoqiu family wants to reuse someone from their own family, the ministers will collectively oppose it, and in the end they can only let it go.
In the Zuoqiu family of Zuoqiuwen's generation, there are not many direct descendants. Zuoqiuwen has a total of five brothers, which seems to be a lot, but in fact it is not many, because they are the royal family and can marry many
In this case, there are only five brothers, which is really not too many. However, it is inevitable that when these five brothers grow up, they will also start to compete for the throne.
Zuo Qiuwen was not very outstanding among the five brothers at that time. He only had one thing, which was kindness. At the same time, he was also very low-key, so the other brothers did not regard Zuo Qiuwen as him at first.
The thing is, there is only one brother who is very good to Zuo Qiu Wen, and that is Zuo Qiu Zhi. Although he is younger than Zuo Qiu Wen, he was more outstanding than Zuo Qiu Wen at that time. Everyone thought that he
Zuo Qiu Wen's ability is stronger than Zuo Qiu Wen's, and Zuo Qiu Zhi has always been more caring than Zuo Qiu Wen. The relationship between the two brothers has always been very good.
But no one expected that in the end Zuo Qiuwen's father, the emperor of the previous generation, would pass the throne to Zuo Qiuwen. At that time, several other brothers expressed dissatisfaction. Only Zuo Qiuzhi supported Zuo Qiuwen, and even supported Zuo Qiuwen.
Zuo Qiuwen purged the other three brothers, and those three brothers were killed. Zuo Qiuwen secured the throne, and Zuo Qiuwen was the only prince among Zuo Qiuwen's generation, named Rui.
So he is called Prince Rui, and he is not only a prince, he is also the commander-in-chief of the capital's defense.
Zuo Qiuwen trusted Zuo Qiuzhi very much, so he handed over all the capital star's army to Zuo Qiuzhi to command, and Zuo Qiuzhi became the commander-in-chief of the capital defense. It can be said that Zuo Qiuwen gave all the capital star's security to his hands.
Gave it to Zuo Qiuzhi, which shows how high Zuo Qiuzhi's status is and how much he has Zuo Qiuwen's trust. It is precisely because of this that when Zuo Qiuwen saw the document Wei Xianchen gave him, it said, in that
There was a family living near the teahouse. One of their children was working as an errand at Prince Rui's Mansion, and a magic circle was found in that person's house. The magic circle was tested and found to be a detection magic circle.
The main function is to detect whether there are any restrictions on a person, which made Zuo Qiuwen's heart sink.
There is a restriction on Marlowe's body, it is the soul explosion mark, and Marlowe is asked to go to the teahouse every once in a while. It is not that there is something wrong with the teahouse, nor is it someone who is sent to monitor Marlowe in the teahouse.
It’s not that someone wants to meet Marlowe in the teahouse, but whenever Marlowe wants to go to the teahouse, he must pass by that person’s house. As long as Marlowe gets to the teahouse, their family’s magic circle will
They can monitor whether the Soul Explosion Mark on Marlowe's body is still there. If the Soul Explosion Mark on Marlowe's body is still there, it proves that Marlowe is still under their control. If the Soul Explosion Mark on Marlowe's body is no longer there,
That means that Marlowe may no longer be under their control, which is why Zuo Qiuwen looked so ugly when he saw the report.
You must know that the army here on Capital Star is all under the control of Zuo Qiuzhi. If Zuo Qiuzhi really has second thoughts about him, it would be too scary. If Zuo Qiuzhi really attacks him, even if he can
Escaped, I am afraid it will also cause turmoil in the empire. After all, the entire capital star's army is under the control of Zuo Qiuzhi. Under this situation, if Zuo Qiuzhi really rebels, the commotion caused will be really huge.
It was so big that when Zuo Qiuwen saw the family status report, his heart froze. It was so scary.
And because of this discovery, Zuo Qiuwen suddenly understood why someone like Marlow would betray him. You must know that Marlow is the deputy commander of the secret guard. It can be said that his status is already very high. Such
Normally people will not betray, because even if they betray, the new master will not give them a higher status than they currently have, but if this new master is a big shot in his own right and gives him something bigger,
benefits, then he may be betrayed. You must know that in the Star Empire, the status of businessmen is not high, and the status of officials is the highest. It is impossible for Maruo to betray Zuo Qiuwen for money, that can only be
Because of status.
It is absolutely impossible for an ordinary person to betray Marlowe. It is impossible for Marlowe to believe what a person with a lower status than him says, but if a person with a higher status than him says something, then he will
I believe it, and Zuo Qiuzhi is a person with a higher status than him. The most important thing is that Zuo Qiuzhi's voice for becoming emperor was higher than Zuo Qiuwen's, so it is not surprising that Maruo betrayed him.
Zuo Qiuwen did not expect that Zuo Qiuzhi would be betrayed at first. Even now, although he has doubts, he will not deal with Zuo Qiuzhi before there is solid evidence, because the relationship between the two is really good.
Sorry, Zuo Qiuwen really couldn't bear to do it.
This is also the reason why Wei Xianchen and the others were so careful after they found out Zuo Qiuzhi. The person who first found out about this matter was sent directly to Zhao Hai. It would be very difficult for him to see the light of day, and Wei Xianchen sent
The people who went to monitor Zuo Qiuzhi were also the most elite people, and the reason why he sent people to monitor Wang En was also to ensure that people like Marlow could betray, let alone other people.
If Wang En and the others couldn't think about it for a while, then he would be the real king, so he must be safe in the previous step.
At the same time, he also wanted Gao Qi to not dare to betray them, because after Gao Qi found out that he was spying on Wang En, he would wonder if someone was spying on him, so that he would not dare to betray them. Wei Xianchen has been doing this all his life.
Of course we have to be more careful about things like this now.
After Zuo Qiuwen finished his work for the day, he directly sent an order to invite Zuo Qiuzhi to enter the palace. In the past, he often invited Zuo Qiuzhi to enter the palace. During this period, a lot of things happened, so he did not come for a while.
After meeting Zuo Qiuzhi, Zuo Qiuwen decided to invite Zuo Qiuzhi to the palace. He still wanted to see Zuo Qiuzhi with his own eyes.
Soon Zuo Qiuzhi came to the palace. He looked very similar to Zuo Qiuwen, but he was stronger than Zuo Qiuwen. He was still very capable in the military. It was precisely because of this that Zuo Qiuwen
Qiu Wen then handed over the defense of the capital star to him.
Zuo Qiuwen and Zuo Qiuzhi did not meet in Zuo Qiuwen's study, but in a small side hall, where there was a table with some food on it and some wine prepared.
This was normal in the past.
Zuo Qiuzhi came to the door, without knocking, just opened the door and walked in. Zuo Qiuwen was reading inside. As soon as he saw him coming in, Zuo Qiuzhi smiled and said: "Here you go, sit down quickly."
, I have been waiting for you for a while."
Zuo Qiuzhi said with a smile: "Brother, do you want to drink again?" He was not polite, and did not even salute Zuo Qiuwen. He sat directly opposite Zuo Qiuzhi. The table was not very big, and the dishes prepared were not very big.
There aren't many, they are all Zuo Qiuzhi's favorite dishes.
Zuo Qiuwen put down his book and smiled at Zuo Qiuzhi and said: "Yes, I want to drink again. There have been a lot of things happened recently. I finally finished them and I feel a little annoyed. So I asked you to come over and have a drink with me.
." After saying that, he poured himself a glass of wine.
Zuo Qiuzhi also poured himself a glass of wine. The two clinked the glasses, then drank the wine in the glasses. After putting down the glasses, the two of them took two bites of the food. Zuo Qiuwen said to Zuo Qiuzhi: "Recently
Have you heard about the incident?"
Zuo Qiuzhi nodded and said: "I heard that something happened to the secret guards? But I don't know why. I just didn't expect that something would happen to the secret guards. Aren't they the most loyal? How could they?
Will something happen again?" Zuo Qiuzhi looked at Zuo Qiuwen curiously, as if he really only knew so much. Zuo Qiuwen did not keep staring at Zuo Qiuzhi, and his behavior was no different from usual.
If an emperor doesn't even have such a bit of acting skills, then he has really been the emperor for so long in vain.
Zuo Qiuwen sighed and said: "Forget it, I don't know what happened to Maruo. He would betray me. Do you know what they are going to do? They actually want to go to the Beast Control Garden to kill people. This is almost the same as
Yu committed suicide. Even if they killed someone, they would not be able to leave the Royal Beast Garden alive. It was the royal inner garden. Although Marlowe was not personally involved, the order was given by Marlowe. You know
Who are they going to kill? It's Zhao Hai. They actually want to go to the Beast Royal Garden to kill Zhao Hai. They're really crazy." When Zuo Qiuwen said this, his face turned livid with anger. He usually showed no emotion or anger.
Yes, he would behave like this only in front of Zuo Qiuzhi, because he had absolute trust in Zuo Qiuzhi.
Zuo Qiu Zhi was also a little surprised when he saw Zuo Qiu Wen's appearance. Then he looked at Zuo Qiu Wen with some confusion and said: "Brother, why did they kill Zhao Hai? Didn't Zhao Hai just set up a magic circle in the Royal Beast Garden? Is it worth it?
They took such a big risk to kill Zhao Hai? Are they crazy?"
When Zuo Qiuwen heard what Zuo Qiuzhi said, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then said: "Letting Zhao Hai go to the Beast Control Garden to set up the magic circle is just a pretense. The real purpose is to let Zhao Hai study there.
Linggen, I think they must have gotten the news, so they sent people to kill Zhao Hai."
