The first thing he did was not to meet the king or to seek his courtiers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The first thing Ji Chang had to do was to familiarize himself with the changes in Chaoge City, the last time he came to the Shang Dynasty was a few years ago.

Xi Bohou took a few guards to find a restaurant. asked for a few home-cooked side dishes, and beckoned Xiao Er over. He opened his mouth and asked, "Little Second Brother, who is the most powerful person in this Chaoge City!"

When he heard Ji Chang's question, he didn't realize that he glanced at Xibohou a few more times, but he was thinking in his heart that this old guy looked like a dog, don't he have a disease in his brain, he replied loudly: "Objectively laughing, don't say that in Chaoge City, looking at the world, the king is also the most powerful!"

Wrong, mistaken! Old Xibohou blushed and continued to ask: "I mean, apart from the king, which courtier is the most popular in front of the king?"

"Minister!" The guy in the shop thought for a moment and replied: "Master Wen is the most effective when he speaks, and in addition, Prime Minister Shang is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and the king is also willing to listen to his words!"

Dian Xiaoer replied while thinking about it, Ya Bigan is also the king's celebrity, and Wei Ziqi used to be the number one person, but now he has become a prisoner!

The guy couldn't stop nagging, but Xi Bohou couldn't stand it, he interrupted the other party and asked: "But I don't know how the two doctors Fei Zhong and You Hun are, I don't know if they still have the king's favor!"

Xibohou pretended to ask the other party, Xiqi's spies only knew that the two ministers died in Beihai, but the detailed process was unknown, Ji Changzhi wanted to know more details, in fact, what he wanted to know more was that in addition to these two guys, there were other traitors in the court.

"Fei Zhong and Doctor You!" the man sighed and told Xi Bohou everything he knew.

Fei Zhongyi fell into a thousand years of hatred, even if he died, he couldn't erase the stain on his body, You Hun died well, and he fell into a good reputation, at least now the people of Chaoge are willing to call him "Doctor You".

"The two of them are really dead!" confirmed the news of the death of the two, and Xi Bohou was a little disappointed. Where will I send my two carts of jewelry?

Xi Bohou left the restaurant in a depressed mood. Now the only ones who can help him are Wen Taishi and Shang Rong. As soon as he thought of Wen Taishi's cold eyes, Ji Chang felt scared, he had a ghost in his heart, so he naturally didn't want to face Wen Taishi again!

He made up his mind to work Prime Minister Shang Rong.

As soon as Xibohou came out of the restaurant, a palace maid hurriedly walked out of the palace and came to the prime minister's mansion, and she conveyed the princess's request to Shang Rong: when he was young, Xibohou came to the palace to ask for help, and the chief minister accepted all the gifts.

"That's not good!" Shang Rong immediately retorted: "I am a merchant minister, and I am the head of a hundred officials, how can I accept gifts from foreign ministers at will?"

Shang Rong has been honest all his life, and he naturally doesn't want to stain his life because he received a gift from Xibohou.

"The prime minister is too worried!" the palace maid smiled slightly and continued: "The eldest princess has a word first, this is the meaning of the great honor, the prime minister has been poor all his life, and these gifts can be regarded as compensation for you!"

"What does Dazun mean?" Shang Rong's face became exciting: "In this case, the old man might as well obey his fate if he is respectful!"

Dazun is far-reaching, everything is for the sake of the court, even people like You Hun are felt by Dazun and voluntarily sacrifice for the court.

For the sake of big business, what is the point of being a mere name? If there are really rumors, I am not afraid!

The prime minister agreed to the palace maid's request.

"Master, Xibohou came to pay a visit, I don't know if you see it?" As soon as the palace maid left, the servants at home came to report that there was a guest.

"See, since it's an old friend's visit, how can I not see it?" Shang Rong sneered, I want to see how many gifts Ji Chang, the old fox, has brought, and even Dazun has been shocked.

Xiao is Shang Rong was prepared, and he was still shocked when dozens of Xibohou's entourage brought gifts into the hall!

Countless jewels and all kinds of treasures are placed in the living room, and the merchants are dazzled!

"Xibohou, you and I are both old people, why are you bringing so many things? Shang Rong deliberately humbled him, he knew that Xibohou had a request for himself, and he would definitely not bring the gift back!

"Hey!" Xibohou sighed and began to complain: "Prime Minister, I, Xibohou I, am wise, but I have done a foolish thing when I am old, I shouldn't listen to the slander of my courtiers, and send troops to Cheng Guo when the court is busy dealing with the Dongyi clan!"

Since the matter has happened, Xibohou can only face it, which blames him for being obsessed with his mind and using troops against Cheng Guo without confirming that the imperial court will definitely fight with the Dongyi clan.

It's just that he has been waiting for this opportunity for decades, and if he doesn't do it, he will be old!

"Xibohou, you shouldn't be, as a courtier, how can you do this kind of thing that relatives and enemies are happy? If the skin does not exist, Mao will be attached? If Chaoge is captured, can Xiqi continue to exist?" Shang Rong asked coldly. If the alien race really conquered the Shang Kingdom, I am afraid that the princes of all walks of life will not be able to save even the temple!

Ji Chang, the old fox, has been haunted by the death of his father, and he is trying to take revenge on the imperial court, can it be said that he has no desire at all? Maybe Ji Li's death is just an excuse, what the Xiqi Ji clan is trying to do is the whole world!

Shang Rong saw that Xibohou had been nodding and listening to his lesson, and his heart softened, after all, Ji Chang was the lord of Xiqi, the leader of the Western princes, and he always had to save a little face for him.

The prime minister changed his words and continued: "Now that the king is angry, you let him scold a few words, if the king is angry, he may detain you for a few days, as long as you stay alive, everything else is negotiable, and then I will join Wen Taishi and other ministers of the court to release you!"

Xibohou said with a happy face: "Thank you so much, Prime Minister!"

After getting a satisfactory answer, Xibohou happily led his entourage out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when the cold wind blew out of the gate, he understood a little: "Shang Rong, you are really cunning enough, they all say that you are an honest official, but why did you take my two carts of gifts, and you don't even need to give in?"

The next morning, the court ascended to the palace, gathered two classes of civil and military, and the gate official began to play: "Xibo Hou Hou's decree!"

Xibohou came to the front of the palace and passed the transcript to the Shang king Emperor Xin, who only glanced at the confession of Xibohou and threw it to the ground.

Di Xin said to the Yellow Gate Officer: "Who is coming, let him enter by roll call!"

When the will was handed down, Xibohou had to come to the door of the main hall alone, knelt down and bowed: "Sinner minister Ji Chang, see my lord!"

Xibohou crawled into the main hall to pay homage to the king of Shang.
