Chapter 124: Deceiving the World and Stealing Fame

Twenty years ago, after the former imperial teacher found the next imperial teacher, Zhou Xiang actually had his own son kill him and disguised himself as Chang Zhiping.

Two years later, Prime Minister Zhou's legitimate daughter married the crown prince and became the crown princess. This was because Prime Minister Zhou secretly asked someone to find Master Huiyuan, who calculated it as a good omen of dragon and phoenix appearing.

But no one expected that the prince would meet Jiang Yao again later.

Originally, no one cared about such a weak woman, but who would have thought that the third prince actually wanted Jiang Yao to be the queen and even said he wanted to divorce Zhou Min.

Anyone in the world can get a divorce except the prince.

Zhou Xiang once again invited Master Huiyuan to come out of seclusion and predicted that a witch would be rampant in Daning and the world would be in chaos. He also accurately calculated the witch's birth date and it turned out to be Jiang Yao.

Jiang Yao was poisoned quietly without knowing it, and she questioned the Third Prince with resentment, but the Third Prince was completely unaware of it.

Jiang Yao is a cynical person. If you don't provoke her, she won't provoke you. But if you provoke her, she will definitely take revenge on you.

No one expected Jiang Yao to be so cruel that he actually killed the third prince.

Prime Minister Zhou and Master Huiyuan were both in the capital at the time. When they heard the news, they immediately appeared in the East Palace. Zhou Min was shocked and frightened.

Only then did Zhou Xiang know that Jiang Yao had been there.

In fact, Huiyuan made the Third Prince's injuries look like he had committed suicide by hitting his head against a wall, and told the late Emperor that he was deceived and killed himself.

The main thing was that neither Huiyuan nor Zhou Xiang knew what weapon had caused that round wound with a smell of burnt meat.

Just in case, Huiyuan pushed all the responsibility onto Jiang Yao. Fortunately, the late emperor did not believe what he said. In fact, it was mainly because he did not believe that the prince would commit suicide because of a woman. No one would believe it if he told others about it.

The late emperor had his mouth shut, and then he chose the next crown prince.

The previous emperor chose the ninth prince Zhao Zhuoxi, but Prime Minister Zhou felt that the eldest prince was weak and easy to control. The eldest prince's wife was Prime Minister Zhou's daughter, who served as a reserve. Prime Minister Zhou forced Zhao Zhuoxi to burn the edict in front of the palace.

Everything was the plan of Prime Minister Zhou and the Zhou family. Now things are going as Prime Minister Zhou wished. The emperor has become a puppet, and the world will soon fall into Prime Minister Zhou's hands.

After Zhao Zhuoxi finished speaking, he looked at Master Huiyuan again, who was still silent.

"There's no need to fight for it. Just kill him." Chu Yu was impatient and didn't give anyone any room to think.

What else could Huiyuan say? Everything was the same as what Zhao Zhuoxi said. The Zhou family had already started planning many years ago.

He was the second son of Prime Minister Zhou, pretending to be Chang Mingyuan's second brother. Otherwise, based on Chang Mingyuan's talent, he would never have passed the imperial examination and become a Jinshi, let alone a Tanhualang.

The last one in the palace examination.

The Zhou family was afraid that the Chang family would know the truth, so they praised Chang Mingyuan so highly and even married their niece to him.

Just when Huiyuan was determined to die, he suddenly heard Jiang Jiu say...

"How can one achieve the best of both worlds, without failing the Tathagata or you?"

After Jiang Jiu was born, she often heard Jiang Qiuyue say this poem. At that time, Jiang Jiu was surprised and thought that Jiang Qiuyue was a time traveler like her.

Later I found out that this was the only sentence she could recite.

Jiang Jiu actually saw this poem in Jiang Yao's last letter.

At this moment, there were many unclear things in the letter left by Jiang Yao, but now Jiang Jiu understood them all at once.

Jiang Yao didn't understand why the Third Prince would poison her when she and he were cooperating so well with each other, they were more than lovers but not yet lovers, love comes first.

Jiang Yao was good at doing business and made a lot of money. He also knew how to make choices and gave the most profitable glass factory directly to the third prince.

She understood human nature better and was afraid that people would be jealous of her, a woman who earned so much money and became the richest person in Jiangnan, so she donated money to the court and grain to the people affected by the disaster from time to time.

But she ultimately underestimated the evil of human nature. Even if she didn't think about it, some people would still be on guard.

Dead people are the least threatening.

Jiang Yao's revenge was also fierce, killing the most capable prince of Daning.

If we continue to wait like this, Daning will change his name and become someone else's.

For the past fifteen years, Daning has not been at peace at all.

In addition to natural disasters in various places, neighboring countries have also torn up peace treaties one after another and fought with Daning from time to time.

It was also thanks to the many brave generals left by the previous emperor that Daning was able to maintain stability.

This is also the reason why the Zhou family is very eager to marry the Marquis of Zhenguo.

The Zhou family only has civil officials, no military generals.

Today's military generals were all left behind by the previous emperor, and some are hereditary.

Even though the emperor is cowardly, he is not stupid. He will not touch these generals. Without them, there will be no kingdom for him.

Zhao Zhuoxi finished speaking and took a deep breath: "Master Huiyuan, you were so heartless in the Purple Gold Palace. You kept saying that it was God's will and we should follow God's will. It turns out that your Zhou family's intention is God's will..."

"After all, I was young, and my mother risked her life to protect me, so I escaped. Otherwise, if I really committed suicide in the palace, I would die with regrets."

Master Huiyuan still said nothing.

At this moment, Chang Mingyuan, who had been silent all this time, came in front of him out of nowhere.

"He killed my second brother, and then became my old Taishan, helping me to a high position. Hahahaha, Zhiping, do you blame your eldest brother?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Huiyuan suddenly opened his eyes.

It turned out that there were not only three of them coming in this time, but there were also two people following behind them.

One is the left prime minister Chang Mingyuan, and the other is the college student Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan snorted heavily. "Back then, I thought it was God's will. I didn't expect that the Zhou family would be so bold as to fool the late emperor and the people of the world. I must seek justice for the people of the world."

Jiang Jiu thought for a moment and said, "Bring him before the emperor and let everyone see his true face."

Chu Yu said, "The emperor may not be able to make the decision. Don't forget that there is also Prime Minister Zhou."

"If it were up to me, we should hang him on the city gate so that all the people can see his true identity. Then who would still believe in the old monk and who would still believe in the imperial master?"

Huiyuan stared at Jiang Jiu intently, and it took him a long time to utter a word.

"After all, I'm your father, and I just want to save you."

Jiang Jiu smiled: "How to save me? Turn the business of Yiye Pingzhou into the Zhou family. Then, kill the Ninth Prince and the Emperor in the shortest possible time, and make the Crown Prince ascend the throne. Queen Zhou will be the Queen Mother and rule the country from behind the curtain. Then the world will really become the Zhou family's."

In the end, Zhao Zhuoxi came up with a solution.

Let Master Huiyuan pass away in the Huangjue Temple in the capital. After his death, the skin on his face will fall off. Then, the people who come to burn incense will know that he is not the real Chang Zhiping.

He did what he said, and the next day was the fifth day of the first lunar month.

There were huge crowds of people burning incense.

Master Huiyuan died in the lobby, and after his death, his face skin really fell off.

At this time, the people arranged by Zhao Zhuoxi guided the people along the way and announced to the world that Master Huiyuan was impersonated by someone.

Because Mr. Zhou Er looks 70% like Mr. Zhou Xiang.

Everyone said that Master Huiyuan was impersonated by the second son of Prime Minister Zhou.

For a time, rumors spread throughout the capital.

However, Jiang Jiu and Zhao Zhuoxi made a sad and horrified discovery. Even so, it did not shake the Zhou family in the slightest.
