In the middle of the night, the temple people in the palace went to the post station where Ji Kao lived. At this time, Ji Kao was sitting in front of the desk, looking up at the full moon in the sky, so he felt homesick. He sat down and carved a letter from home on the slip to report peace to his family, and explained the situation in Chaoge, explaining that his father was about to be lifted and would soon return, and called Xinjia and the groom to put the written slip in the bag and handed it to them. Xin Jia took the bag and said, "The eldest son."

"Send this letter back to Xiqi," Ji Kao looked at the two of them, his eyes flickered a little, maybe he knew that he was a hostage in the court this time, and life and death were unpredictable.

"Eldest son, won't you go back with us?"

"I'm afraid I can't go back as a hostage in Chaoge, the king is suspicious and cruel by nature, if you don't see me and my father return together, you can advise the second brother Ji Fa to be the prince, don't think of me."

"The eldest prince," Xin Jia and the coachman knelt down together, tears in their eyes.

Ji Kao got up and helped the two of them up, and said, "Please get up." Then he sat down and looked at the two of them, and said, "Go ahead." Xin Jia and the others got up and said, "Eldest son, take care!"

"Go ahead." Xin Jia looked at Ji Kao, who was sitting in front of the desk, paused for a long time, withdrew and turned around to leave, and got into the carriage together and left Chaoge City. Shortly after they walked out, the palace stopped at the door of the inn. The temple man walked in and stood in front of Ji Kao, who stood up and knelt down to greet him. The temple man stood and said: "Pass on the king's edict, Ji Qing doesn't have to kneel, summon Ji Qing to enter the palace immediately." Ji Kao got up and faced the temple man standing in front of him: "I don't know what happened when the king summoned his ministers late at night?"

"I don't know about this little one, you will naturally know when you enter the palace and see the king."

"Alright, let's go," Ji Kao and the temple people in the palace walked out, and went to the palace to leave, but the place where they went was not the palace, but the road to the palace. Ji Kao, who was sitting in the chariot, was a little suspicious, and opened the curtain to ask the temple people sitting in front of the car, "Aren't we going to the palace?"

"The king is not in the palace," the temple man sitting in front of the chariot just replied.

The chariot stopped in front of the gate of Feifu, and Ji Kao got off the station in front of the gate of Feifu, looked up, turned around and asked, "Isn't this the mansion of Dr. Fei?"

"The king is waiting for you at Dr. Fei's mansion, and the eldest prince will know when he enters."

Ji Kao stepped forward and stretched out his hand, thinking about pushing open the door of Fei Mansion again and again, and walked in slowly, when he walked in, the two doors closed again, so that Ji Kao, who was walking in front, was suddenly startled, looked back at the closed door behind him, and walked forward and walked into the hall. Doctor Fei Zhong sat down in front of the desk and said, "Eldest son, I've been waiting for you here for a long time, please take a seat."

Ji Kao sat down in the hall, faced Doctor Fei Zhong, and said, "I don't know why Doctor Fei invited me here?" Please also be explicit. ”

"The eldest prince is a cheerful person, and at the same time you are also a smart person, late at night to send you to the Fei Mansion, I think you understand, you are the same as your father, you have great talents, and you can win people's hearts, it can be said that your sage is known to everyone in the song, how does this feel for the king? Your virtue is better than the king, how can the king tolerate you, you have talent, and there are changes in people's hearts, I am afraid that after a long time, your Xiqi will be stronger than Yin Shang, this is your fault, you can be convicted, bold Ji Kao. ”

"Villain Fei Zhong, you framed Zhongliang and brought disaster to the country and the people, I want to see the king."

"This official was born in the city, and is incomparable with you princes and princes, and his duty is to do all kinds of difficult things for the king," and then he looked around and shouted, "Where is the armor?" The first soldier rushed out and stood behind Ji Kao, Ji Kao looked at these armored soldiers behind him, and said: "Traitor Fei Zhong, my fate today is also your fate in the future, I will watch you underground."

"Scold, there are many people who scold this official, aren't you a dutiful son? Why not exchange your life for your father, who will fulfill your name and fulfill your virtue? Then he faced the soldiers on both sides and said, "Drag him out, chop him into meat puree, and make meat balls, and tomorrow the king will feast Xibohou Jichang."

"Traitor, sooner or later, Yin Shang will die at the hands of villains like you." Then he turned and walked out, followed by soldier A. After Ji Kao walked out, Fei Zhong sat down, took out a silk scarf to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, it seems that this Fei Zhong is still very weak-hearted, seeing that his hand taking out the silk scarf is still trembling, and he was helped up by the subordinates on both sides and walked into the inner room.

The night was silent, only the shadows of the trees swaying outside the window, and the breeze was blowing. Xibohou Jichang lay on the bed, fell asleep, and dreamed in his sleep

To his eldest son Ji Kao, this may be the most subtle perception between relatives, Ji Kao may have a vague perception when he was killed in Chaoge, this may be the sixth sense of people. Ji Kao stood under the full moon in a white dress, his clothes fluttering. Xibohou stood behind Ji Kao and said, "Kao'er." Ji Kao turned around and knelt down three times, looked up at Xibohou Ji Chang, and said with tears in his eyes: "Father, the child can't wait by your side, father, you have to take care." Then, Ji Kao stood up, left into twelve rabbits, and flew up to the Moon Palace. Xibohou ran up and cried silently, and said, "Kao'er, Kao'er." Then he woke up from his dream, sat on the bed, wet the pillow next to him with tears, and then got up and stood in front of the window, looked up at the full moon in the sky, and said, "Kao'er," pinched his fingers and counted, and counted that Ji Kao was killed tonight, and made twelve meat balls.

The next day, Di Xin held a banquet in the palace and invited Xibo Hou Jichang. On this day, Xibo Hou Jichang got up early to tidy up his clothes. The temple people in the palace came to announce and summoned Xibohou Jichang into the palace. Xi Bohou walked out of the hut, the breeze was blowing, the breeze was smooth, maybe he had not been out of the house for a long time to have this freshness. The sunlight outside the house is particularly dazzling, stretch out your hand to block the dazzling sunlight, look up at the morning sun, and get on the chariot with the temple people next to you, and go to the palace. The musicians in the palace played the music. Xibohou Jichang walked into the palace hall, looked up at Di Xin, who was sitting on the main hall, knelt down three times, and said, "Your Majesty."

"Ji Qing is flat," then looked at the desk next to him, and said, "Ji Qing, please take a seat."

"Xie Wangshang," Xibohou Jichang got up and sat in front of the desk, there was a wine vessel next to the desk, and there were delicacies on the table, which was particularly sumptuous. Xibohou poured a spoonful of wine into the wine, raised the bottle of wine and looked up at Di Xin, and said: "The minister first respects the king and wishes the king a long and healthy life."

"Ji Qing don't be in a hurry to congratulate you, Gu Weiqing specially prepared a dish, please taste it carefully," and then clapped his hands, the palace maids brought a bronze food box and put it in front of Xi Bohou, and ordered Xi Bohou to open the food box, which really contained twelve meat balls, which made Xi Bohou look stupid, and looked at these twelve meat balls with dull eyes, and the grief in his heart was self-evident, so that he could not speak for a long time.

"What? Not to your taste. ”

"Yes, the minister is thinking, the king loves the minister so much, the minister, the minister doesn't know how to repay it," Xibohou Jichang held back the sharp pain in his heart and forced a smile.

"It's good to know Lone's mind, eat it quickly."

Xi Bohou picked up the soup spoon placed next to him, picked up a meat ball and tasted it, Di Xin looked at it: "I don't know what Qing thinks it tastes like?"

"Delicious in the world," he put the second one in his mouth and tasted it, and nodded with satisfaction. After a while, he ate the meat balls in the food box one by one, and then faced Di Xin, and said: "The punishment set by the king is too cruel and unpopular, and the minister implores the king to abolish the punishment of cannon branding," and offered the land on the west bank of the Luo River in Zhou Guo, so as to dispel Di Xin's wariness of him.

"Okay, you can go back to Xiqi, and give the bow, arrow, axe, and Yue, and give Xibohou Jichang the power to conquer."

Xibohou stood up and knelt down and bowed, "Thank you for the reward." Then he walked out of the palace and got on the chariot, on the chariot Xi Bohou has been silent, passing by the northwest corner of Tangyin Yili City, Henan, getting out of the car and leaning on the wall with one hand to spit it out, and said with tears in his eyes: "Son!" After the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang, a tomb was built here, "the tomb of Bo Yi Kao," which is the legendary rabbit mound.

On the shore of Weishui, there is often an old man sitting on the ground fishing, and he does not catch a single fish all day long. He wore a hat and a gray beard. When I returned home, I was often coldly spoken by my wife, saying: "You see that you are over 70 years old, and you are still not doing your job every day, and you see that the family is almost unable to open the pot."

"What do you know about a woman, the old man is waiting for a big man to appear, the marquis is indispensable to your benefits, the sage of a woman is not to dislike her husband for being poor, remember my words."

"The people who are about to enter the ground are still the marquis and worship the prime minister, and they daydream all day long, and they still fancy you as a bad old man."

"The woman's opinion, I don't bother to tell you, you don't understand," after finishing speaking, he walked into the inner room and sat in front of the desk looking at the book, and his wife followed in and complained: "You said that you read these broken books What is the use, I really regret marrying someone like you, I don't enjoy any blessings, and I still follow you to eat chaff and vegetables, and there is no rice at home, so I go to the street to buy rice."

"You go, I'm not available."

"What do you say you are pretending to be high, last time an official invited you to be an official, but you sent others away, do you say that your brain is sick!"

The old man rose up angrily and said, "You get out of here."

"Let's go," the old woman was about to walk out of the door and turned around and said, "Why should I get out, if you want to get out, you can get out," and then ran to the bed and lay on her side, covered the quilt and said, "Don't go to the old lady's bed in the future."

The old man sat in front of the desk, lit the oil lamp next to him, continued to read hard with the book in his hand, and threw out a sentence: "A woman's opinion is not as knowledgeable as yours."

At dawn, he took off the hat hanging on the wall and put it on, put on his robe, and walked out with a fishing rod in one hand. The woman got up and looked at the old man who came out, and complained, "I said I wanted to catch a big fish, but I didn't catch a single fish all day long, how could I marry such a person!" The old man is still sitting on the shore of Weishui as usual, surrounded by green mountains and green waters, full of green mountains, he sits on the stone plate and holds a fishing rod in one hand, fishing in the water, and the branches and leaves of the big trees behind him are luxuriant, stretching out to shield from the scorching sun. At this time, Xibohou Jichang happened to pass by, and he stepped forward and bowed down and asked, "How many big fish can the old man catch a day?"

"The old man has been fishing here for half a month, and there are often small fish to harass, but how do these small fish know that what I am waiting for is a big fish," when he was young, he put away the line and grabbed the hook with one hand, and Xibo Hou watched him fish with a straight hook, and asked: "The old gentleman fishes with a straight hook, how can a big fish be hooked?"

"The person who wishes to fish with a straight hook has taken the bait, and he doesn't know that the big fish has been baited," and then got up and looked at Xibohou who was standing behind him.

When Xibohou heard him say this, he must have a deep meaning, and the strange man is also. He bowed and saluted, "I don't know who the old gentleman's surname is?"

"Old decayed Jiang Shang, alias Ziya, a person from the East China Sea."

"Sir, the name Ji Chang has heard of it for a long time, and he once sent Dr. San to invite him, and now that I have come in person, Mr. is willing to return to Hojing with me."

"The old man has already heard of the name of Xibo Hou, so he came to vote for it, and the Hou Ye invited."

"It's better for the gentleman first."
