Not to mention the courtiers of the Great Shang Dynasty, the princes are now more concerned about how to win the trust of Di Xin, how to please Di Xin and so on.

In the past, the mentality of not violating the river water with the big business well water, and you can't help me, has completely disappeared.

Methods such as visiting Wen Zhong and visiting Shang Rong were used by them, as long as they knew and were trusted and valued by Di Xin, they came to visit in person, or sent people to send heavy gifts.

All kinds of banquets are more numerous and lively.

It just so happened that because of Chongming's death, the ten-day period that Emperor Xin ordered not to set up wine and banquets had passed.

On the night of the meeting, hundreds of banquets were held among the princes and ministers.

The apse of the palace of the king of men.

Di Xin was still dealing with the endless government affairs, and he issued some orders at the court meeting, each of which involved countless people, even if it was just beginning, it was very troublesome.

It has also led to the already numerous government affairs, which have increased a lot.

At the same time, he also needs to have a deep understanding of the entire Great Commerce, especially the land of Yuzhou, how those officials are, whether they are available, etc., he must be clear.

Prepare for the big move to come.

Of course, although he was busy, he didn't care, he didn't feel bored at all, but enjoyed it a little.

For some people who yearn for leisure, do not get involved in mundane things, and just want to cultivate clearly, they are disgusted by these government affairs.

But for a person like Di Xin, who has a very strong desire for power, even if he is a little irritable at times, he will be willing to do so in the end.

What's more, this is their way.

He didn't care about the actions of the princes in Chaoge City, on the contrary, it was a manifestation of those princes who were in awe of him and surrendered to him, and he naturally wouldn't be displeased.

The wrath of the court today is inevitable.

The Great Shang was moderate for too long, resulting in the vast majority of the princes only nominally submitting to the Great Shang.

If it weren't for his angry and domineering behavior and forcibly shattering their old mentality, even with the powerful influence of that war, it would not have been possible to make them truly surrender in a short period of time.

That's the real reality!

The relationship between the king and the princes, and between the king and the courtiers, is roughly the same.

If one side is strong, the other side will inevitably be weak.

But if the strong side is not strong and does not press step by step, the weak side will hold on and will never take the initiative to retreat too much.

Like a spring.

To put it more bluntly, in the political bureau of the court, almost everyone is cheap.

It belongs to the type of not fighting and not retreating, and all of them have a fluke mentality that exists all the time.

Dealing with government affairs, from the dense and countless layers of relationships, he selects useful things, perfects his layout, and time passes little by little.

From 2 October onwards, Emperor Xin seemed to be busier, conferring with numerous ministers on various matters.

He was also constantly asked to see by the princes, all of whom were words and actions that expressed loyalty.

In fact, those princes didn't want to see Di Xin, after all, there was a kind of depression and fear from the bottom of their bones, but they also had to do this.

This is the way of being a minister, and if you want to win the trust of Emperor Xin, this is what you must do.

What's more, other princes are doing it, if you don't do it, does it mean that you don't love and respect the king?

In the same way, Emperor Xin also selected some princes from time to time to receive them, after all, the courtiers wanted to express their loyalty and respect, and he could not refuse.

His personality and the impression among the courtiers are already a little indifferent, if he rejects all the princes, he is deliberately alienating all the princes, which will make them think more, and the distance from the big merchants will become farther and farther away, making the overall situation unstable.

Let the princes be in awe and submit, you can't just blindly fear, that won't last long, after all, they are also real people, they are still capable people, not dead things.

They have their own thoughts, their own emotional fluctuations, and they are blindly afraid, and they can't do it.

For Di Xin, who now wants the overall stability of Kyushu, the combination of grace and power is the best.

......

On October 3, in the harem of the People's Palace, under the leadership of the inner servant, Jiang Hengchu came to Jiang Zitong's palace again.

"See the concubine Niangniang!" Jiang Hengchu saluted according to the rules, suppressing his somewhat complicated emotions.

If he used his own thoughts, he would definitely not come, after all, Jiang Zitong's words some time ago really hurt his face greatly.

He couldn't let go of his face to see his daughter.

But now the situation is different, Di Xin's power is too great, the princes are subservient, and he and Dongbo Houfu are obviously unpopular existences.

After hesitating for two days, he still chose to come, compared to the actual situation, face is optional, not to mention that it is his own daughter after all.

"Father doesn't have to be polite. Above, a sigh flashed in Jiang Zitong's beautiful eyes, but he didn't get up to greet him again.

Jiang Hengchu didn't care either, and sighed softly: "Some time ago, it was wrong for my father, so Zitong you were wronged." ”

Jiang Zitong's eyes lit up slightly, and he seemed to have a glimmer of hope, and with a light wave of his jade hand, he said lightly: "Let's go down." ”

"Yes. After the palace ladies in the palace saluted, they withdrew one after another.

In the hall, once again, only the father and daughter remained.

"Fathers don't want to be like this, daughters also have mistakes. Jiang Zitong stood up and bowed slightly.

"Hey, speaking of which, it's because of your father that you're dragging you down. Jiang Hengchu sighed, with guilt, "If it weren't for the father who neglected the king, maybe Zitong you would be the queen!"

Jiang Zitong's face showed a touch of unnaturalness, and he sighed softly: "Father doesn't have to say this, it should be his daughter's, the king will give it, and it's not bad now, the daughter is not the queen, so there is a lot less trouble." ”

"Zitong, you don't need to be comforted, your father doesn't please the king's trust, this is clear to your father. Jiang Hengchu's expression became even more guilty, and he sighed faintly: "But in the original situation, Zitong, you also understand that being a father must think about the entire Jiang family after all."

As a father, he is not treated by the king now, and he is also to blame. ”

"Father~!" Jiang Zitong was a little silent.

How could she not understand?

She knew from the beginning that her father would not go all out on the side of Dashang because she married into a big businessman.

But it's clear that it's clear, and I can't help but feel lost, after all, it's her biological father.

What's more, I don't care about her when it's useless, and when it's useful, I come to her.

How could she stand it?

The most important thing is that she understands Di Xin's character, if Dongbo Houfu can't take action and come to her alone, it will be useless, and she will be dragged in and not welcomed.

So last time, she broke out with a gun and a stick in her words, in order to break Jiang Hengchu's unrealistic ideas.

Today, it seems that the results are good.

"Zitong, you don't have to think about it, I used to have a lot of scruples for my father, and I neglected the king and dragged you down.

Not in the future, now that Kyushu is peaceful and prosperous, as a courtier of the princes and kings of the great merchants, it is time to be loyal. Jiang Hengchu said solemnly.

Jiang Zitong pursed his lips, nodded silently, and was silent for a few breaths before saying: "Father doesn't have to worry, as long as he is loyal to the king, the king will see it." ”

Jiang Hengchu's eyes were happy, and he said with a free smile: "Don't talk about this, how is your situation in the palace, daughter? Do you need to send some more people for your father to serve you? But you can't bear the grievances of others." ”

Jiang Zitong also showed a slight sincere smile, "Father doesn't have to worry, the king is very good to his daughter, and there are not many concubines in the harem, how can her daughter be wronged?"

"That's good, if you have any difficulties, you can tell your father, it's not easy in the palace, and your father knows it. Jiang Hengchu said with some distress.

Subsequently, the father and daughter talked a lot, all of which were trivial matters, but they were full of warmth.

After more than two moments, Jiang Hengchu left with a kind smile.

Looking at his back and leaving, the smile on Jiang Zitong's jade face gradually disappeared, and suddenly a touch of self-deprecation rose.

Jiang Zitong, Jiang Zitong, when, did you become like this?

Fathers, daughters, and family affection can't compare to interests after all!

Hypocrisy, trade-offs, huh.

You've learned that.

looked in the direction of the palace of the king of people, and a touch of loneliness rose.

Is this what you want to see, my lord?

......

In the palace of the king of people, Jiang Hengchu saw the news of Jiang Zitong, and Di Xin knew it as soon as possible.

However, he also had no way of knowing the specific conversation between the two, and of course, he didn't care.

In the end, when he knew that Jiang Hengchu was leaving with a smile on his face, Di Xin's eyes showed a hint of thoughtfulness, and when he smiled, he didn't think much about it.

After all, it's growth!

Not bad.

"Zheng He, you personally take Ji Fa to see Ji Chang. Di Xin said lightly.

"Yes. Zheng He saluted, turned around and walked out.

Di Xin continued to deal with government affairs, but he was not so single-minded and less focused.

......

Where Ji Fa and the others in Xiqi lived, the group respectfully greeted Zheng He's arrival.

After a few words fell, Zheng He smiled calmly: "Let's go, Second Master Ji." ”

"Ji Fa thanked Master Zheng!" Ji Fa looked happy and thanked solemnly.

Zheng He smiled lightly, didn't say anything, and left with Ji Fa alone, followed by a team of big businessmen.

The speed of the group was not fast, but it was not slow, and after more than an hour, they came to Jinli.

Zheng He took out a token, formed a huge shield, surrounded them, and led the group through the layers of formations towards the courtyard.

After a while, the group stopped outside the courtyard, and Zheng He said calmly: "Second Prince Ji go in by yourself, you only have a moment, please remember." ”

"Well, Ji Fa must remember, Lord Xie. Ji Fa said solemnly in excitement.

After speaking, after bowing slightly, he walked quickly into the courtyard and entered the house with great strength.

At the same time, in the palace of the king of people, Di Xin's hand dealing with government affairs stopped, and his eyes were gloomy.

Inside the house.

Ji Fa walked into it, and saw the familiar but much older figure sitting calmly above, his eyes immediately turned red, he knelt down on his knees, and shouted excitedly, excitedly, and sadly: "Father!"
