After the careful planning of Yi Yin, Zhonggu, and Zhou Fan, Ge Bo finally succumbed, and Ge was merged into a part of the Shang State like Yi State, Ge State was a big country in the Central Plains, and its belonging had a great impact on other princes.

The Xia Dynasty saw that the Shang State was becoming more and more powerful, and was afraid that it would affect its rule, so it became more and more uneasy.

When King Tang was enjoying the flowers in the imperial garden, the guards came to report: "Report to the king, a group of envoys have come from the Xia Dynasty. ”

"Let him in!"

"I am the envoy of the King of Xia, please accept the decree of the King!" Jin is the way.

King Tang did his best and knelt down to receive the order. The envoy preached: "The king of the Shang Kingdom, ignoring the Son of Heaven, acting arbitrarily, annexing the Ge State, ordering restoration, and not making an example. Chin this! ”

"Wechen took the order." Tang Wang said.

After King Tang received the decree, he immediately notified the princes and ministers to discuss the affairs of the court.

"The king of Xia came to envoy and ordered my Shang State to restore Ge State immediately, and ordered my Shang State to stop annexing other countries, what do you think?" Tang Wang said hurriedly.

"In the past few years, our Shang country has become stronger and stronger, and the power has become greater and greater, and the king of Xia has lost the support of the people, so we should send troops to crusade against him." Yi Yin said.

After listening to Yi Yin's words, King Tang hesitated a little, and said: "Since the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, it has been more than four hundred years of history, and King Xia has always been the respected son of heaven in the world. In any case, Ji is still the monarch of the Xia Dynasty. If we crusade against him, the other princes who have not submitted to our Shang Kingdom will join forces with the Xia King to crusade against us, and a bloody disaster is inevitable, and the outcome is uncertain. In my opinion, it is better to send virtuous ministers first, explain the reasons for destroying the Ge Kingdom to King Xia, assist him in managing the government, and persuade him to change his evil ways and return to righteousness. What will afflict the people of the world with war? ”

"My king is merciful, thinking of the common people in the world, this is still the blessing of the people, what Weichen said is too much, and I ask the king to surrender!" Yi Yin said.

"Alas, my Shangguo has long been innocent of those who speak, let go of the way of speech, why did Xiangguo say this?" Tang Wang said.

"King Tang is right, now the king of Xia has been dissatisfied with my Shang country, and my Shang country sent a virtuous minister into the Xia Dynasty to assist him, which not only shows the attitude of our Shang country, but also expresses the loyalty of our Shang country to the Xia Dynasty, and eliminates all the doubts of King Xia about the Shang country." Zhou Fan said.

After listening to Zhou Fan's words, King Tang became even more determined in his thoughts just now, he turned around and said to Yi Yin: "Guru sent you to the Xia Dynasty, what do you think?" ”

"The king is so trustworthy to Weichen, Weichen is willing to go to the Xia Dynasty. However, Weichen has a suggestion, this time Weichen went, nominally to assist King Xia in managing the government, but its main purpose was to explore the reality of the Xia Dynasty. ”

"As Yixiang said." Tang Wang thought for a while and said.

"Wechen also has a suggestion, ask Commander Zhou to go with Wechen, so as to ensure that there is no loss."

Yi Yin Daobi, the princes and ministers present whispered.

Some said: "Once Yi Xiang is an envoy, he must bring the bodyguard of Commander Zhou with him to be safe." ”

Some said: "Let Zhou Fan follow, King Xia is a tyrant, and if something happens, there are still people to discuss." ”

is even more humane: "The last time they retreated, they cooperated very well, one hard and one soft, soft and hard, Yi Xiang was soft, and Zhou Tong was hard." It is said that after Yi Xiang gave the gift, Zhao Liang also wanted to search for it in the Shang Dynasty, and as a result, at the banquet, Commander Zhou fought with Jing Gong, the so-called number one swordsman in the world, to scare Zhao Liang away. ”

……

Seeing that King Tang did not immediately agree, Zhong Gu said: "To assist King Xia, you must give advice to King Xia, and it is risky to admonish, and if you don't do it well, it will lead to death." It makes sense for Yi Xiang to ask Zhou to lead a unified visit, in case something happens, they will rescue each other, and nothing goes wrong, so that our business country will not lose talents. ”

King Tang listened to the words of the last ancient, and finally said: "According to what Yixiang said, the commander of Zhou will also go with him, but you all have to remember to me, King Xia can help him, if it is really hopeless, then you must ensure that you return to Shangguo." ”

"Yes, remember the king's teachings!" Yi Yin and Zhou Fan said in unison.

"You set off early in the morning with the envoy of the Xia Dynasty." Tang Wang said.

"Yes!" Yi Yin and Zhou Fan replied.

Early the next morning, Yi Yin and Zhou Fan drove a carriage, carrying tribute and some local products of the Shang Kingdom, and set out on the road with Jin Wei and his party. All the way, they came to the summer capital. Xia Capital is not what people think, although it is the capital, very luxurious and luxurious, but the whole city is depressed. When they came to the palace, there was a smell of wine, and they came with a simple face, and when they entered the palace, they realized that there was a wine pool in the palace that was large enough for a boat, and there was a gorgeous yaotai, which was dazzling. Zhou Fan thought that Mei Xi came to Xia Wang's Palace to ask her to use her beauty to confuse Xia Wang Ji and make the Xia Dynasty perish as soon as possible, but she forgot to tell her not to do things that were unfavorable to the people. In this world, the people can't even eat, but here is so luxurious!

Xia Wangwei was not in the palace, but took Meixi and a group of concubines and palace maids to leave the palace in Henan and have fun. Yi Yin and Zhou Fan had to drive the carriage again and go to the palace to see him.

They were introduced by Jin Wei to leave the palace, Jin Wei entered the inner room to take a look, and saw that Xia Wang Ji was happy to play with the concubines and palace maids, he didn't dare to disturb, so he asked Yi Yin and them to wait for the summons, and said that he had a stomach rush and wanted to go to the side of the mao, and Jin Wei left. Yi Yin and Zhou Fan were waiting, only listening to the music in the inner room, the place where they were staying, there was only a wooden board separated from the inner room, there was a gap in the wooden board, and they could see into the inner room, Zhou Fan curiously put his eyes on it, only to see that they were using people as horses, riding people, and running fast, the person who was ridden was not in much pain, bleeding from his legs, and he was whipped to climb fast, it was really miserable. Zhou Fan couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to go back to his original position. After a while, several people carried the centaurs out one by one, and Zhou Fan thought that these centaurs were either dead or seriously injured, and he didn't know where to carry them.

Jin Wei came, he entered the inner room again, and when he saw that the game had passed, he bowed and said: "Weichen Jin is to meet the emperor." ”

"Jin is back for you, has Shang Tang taken the order?" Ji asked.

"He bowed down with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and his attitude was sincere." Jin Wei replied.

"Oh, what did he say about Ge Guo?"

"Shang Tang has sent two ministers to the court to explain this matter to the emperor, and they are already waiting outside for the emperor to summon him."

"Then call them in."

After Jin Wei came out, he said to Yi Yin and Zhou Fan: "The emperor beckons." ”

Yi Yin and Zhou Fan entered the inner room, only to see an old man with long chest hair, a fierce face, and a horizontal body sitting on the bench in the inner room. He wore very little, just a cotton cloth, as if he had just returned from a bath. Zhou Fan thought that this was the legendary Xia Wangji, who was said to be the first faint monarch in Chinese history. Although Zhou Fan didn't bring any weapons, with his existing martial arts, he was enough to kill this faint monarch. However, he also thought that if he was killed, his own life would be a trivial matter, but it would immediately cause a war between the Xia Dynasty and the Shang State, and according to the current strength of the Shang State, it would be difficult to predict the outcome of the battle against the Xia Dynasty. So Zhou Fan endured it, and knelt down at the same time as Yi Yin and said, "Shang Minister Yi Yin, meet the emperor!" "Shang Tong Zhou Fan, meet the emperor!"

"Get up and speak, and give them a seat!"

The two attendants brought two small stools. Yi Yin and Zhou Fan sat down separately.

After Xia Wangjie looked at Yi Yin and Zhou Fan carefully, he said, "Why did you destroy Ge Guo?" Ge Guo, like your Shang Kingdom, is an equal prince. ”

Yi Yin made up: "Ge Bo of Ge State is not benevolent, he has not held sacrifices in accordance with the Xia Dynasty system for a long time, and declared that the emperor has no way in Ge Country, but he is not able to do his best, and he wants to send troops to attack the emperor You, King Tang saw this, if he sent someone to report to the court, it was too late, if Ge Guo continued to develop like this, it would be detrimental to the authority of the emperor, in order to protect the emperor's respect, he sent a righteous division to Ge Guo and killed Ge Bo." Now the king of Tang sent people to help them farm, sent cattle and sheep to help them hold sacrifices, and restored the summer system. ”

Xia Wangwei listened to Yi Yin's words, and felt that Shang Tang did this for Xia Chao's thoughts, and it was reasonable to destroy Ge Guo, so he nodded and did not pursue it further.

After a while, Xia Wangjie said again: "According to Zhao Liang's last return to the court, Yi Yin is the first virtuous minister of the Shang State and has the ability to govern the country, and Zhou Fan is the first warrior of the Shang Kingdom. ”

"Listen to the Emperor's rebuke!"

At this time, a delicate voice came from the inner back room: "Emperor, you come, you go there, it makes us not fun at all." ”

Although Zhou Fan has been separated from his sister for a few years, although this voice is full of squeamishness, he can still hear that this is her voice.

"It's coming, it's coming, beauty, Shang Guo is afraid of the widow's Tianwei, Shang Tang has sent someone to pay tribute."

Meixi may have heard Zhao Liang say that there is a commander named Zhou Fan in the Shang Kingdom, who is good at martial arts, and she wants to know if he is the Zhou Fan she is familiar with. When she heard Xia Wangji say, "Shang Tang has sent someone to pay tribute." She immediately ran out of the inner back room, she was wearing very little, a thin layer of cotton on the outside, the carcass was visible, and the inside was a three-point dress.

Mei Xi and Zhou Fan looked at each other and immediately took it back. Zhou Fan's mood at this time was extremely complicated, and Meixi was also stunned.

Xia Wangyu saw that his sister ran out like this, and as if he had fallen into an evil spirit, he said, "Beauty, what's wrong with you?" How did you get out? Didn't the widow say that he would come right away? ”

At this time, the stunned sister Xi heard Xia Wangji calling her, and she came back to her senses. Then he said: "Nothing, nothing! It's just that the concubine was in a hurry for a while, and ran out to call the emperor. ”

At this time, there was some noise in the inner back room, and Xia Wangjie entered the inner back room with his sister Xi.

Yi Yin and Zhou Fan also had no choice but to leave the inner room, leave the palace, and hurriedly return to the summer capital.

Jin Wei arranged Yi Yin and Zhou Fan to live in the southeast wing of the palace, and they had nothing to do for a few days, and came to Xia Wangji's wine pool, chatting while walking.

"It is said that King Xia has fun all day long, and all the things in the court are buried by Zhao Liang. Yi Yin said.

"King Tang sent you to assist him, but he has been here for many days now, and he hasn't seen any summons to you, so I think it's empty." Zhou Fan said.

They had not spoken for a few words when they heard someone talking in a boudoir by the pool, and they did not speak again, but when they approached, they heard:

"You said that my dead ghost was sent to Youxin Kingdom, blended into the princess's guards, and wanted to use the princess of Youxin Kingdom to assassinate the King of Shang when she was married, why haven't you come back yet? Did you really become a dead ghost? ”

"It is said that your dead ghost did not kill the king of Shang, saying that he was caught, and then he died, and you don't have to wait for him."

"He has been good with me for so many years, he just left, he didn't even say hello, this time he really died, I still think about him a little, but I don't understand one thing, why did the emperor kill the king of Shang?"

"You don't even know that? It is said that the Shang Kingdom has developed rapidly in recent years and has become stronger and stronger, and he is afraid that it will affect the emperor's rule in the future, so he will be killed. ”

"It's not easy for the emperor to kill him, call him to the court, kill him, don't you have it, and send my dead ghost, the inner court guard, to enter the country of Youxin, lurk for many days, and then find an opportunity to assassinate the king of Shang, this is all troublesome."

"You don't understand this, this is because the king of Shang is very benevolent and righteous, and is loved by the people of the world, if he is blatantly killed, it will cause dissatisfaction among the people, and even cause riots or wars, which will affect the emperor's rule even more. So only this assassination can be taken in. ”

"Also, if you think about it, whether this assassination is successful or not, Shang will definitely blame Youxin State, and Youxin State will definitely feel resentful, which will affect the relationship between Youxin State and Shang State, and maybe there will be a war against each other, which will weaken Shang Guo's sphere of influence."

"You really understand, I don't think you know it yourself, there must be someone else who taught you, that person is Zhao Liang!"

"Of course it's him, he's on good terms with me now, and he'll tell me anything."

"Who's talking there?" Another person in the boudoir walked and walked towards the boudoir, and when he heard someone talking, he asked as he went. The man didn't see Yi Yin and Zhou Fan in the boudoir.

Yi Yin and Zhou Fan listened again, and heard again:

"Zhao Lang, why did you come, we have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Isn't it official business, can't you do without it?"

"It's too late, it's too late, the two of us will wait for you today to make sure you are satisfied."

Then I heard a burst of moaning.

When Yi Yin and Zhou Fan heard this, they quickly avoided it.

Yi Yin and Zhou Fan accidentally listened to the conversation between the two women, and they knew all the secrets of the assassination of the Shang King. They retreated to the other end of the wine pool, and after a while, they saw Zhao Liang coming out of the boudoir from a distance, and before they had time to tidy up their clothes, they took the initiative to greet them.

"Shang Guo Yiyin and Zhou Fan pay a visit to Lord Zhao." The two bowed their hands.

Zhao Liang was facing away from Yi Yin and Zhou Fan at this time, and was tidying up his clothes, when he heard someone calling him behind his back, he hurriedly turned around, and saw that it was Yi Yin and Zhou Fan, so he said: "I have heard for a long time that you are coming to the court, but there are too many official affairs, and you can't be separated. ”

"I brought a little bit of a small gift, and I asked Lord Zhao to smile." Yi Yin said as he took out a pair of snow-white jade toads from his waist pocket.

"Alas, you were so polite to me last time, so why should you be polite today? How inconvenient it is here, it is better to go to my house and talk slowly. Zhao Liang was afraid that they would find the beauty in the boudoir and lead them to his mansion.

"That's good." Yi Yin replied.
