Chapter 34: Defeated Countries and Strong Powers (1)

Ji Fa didn't know how long he had been asleep, and he didn't know what time he slept last night, but when he woke up, Taigongwang was no longer in the room, so he sat up from the bed and found that a steaming breakfast had been placed on the table.

"King, wake up, let's wash up first." A familiar female voice came.

Ji Fa got down from the bed and looked.

"Xiaoxue, why are you?" Ji Fa said in surprise.

"Why can't I, a female official, serve the king?" Murong Xue glanced at him mischievously.

Then she carried all the items for washing, Ji Fa quickly washed up, and then sat at the table, looking at the breakfast on the table, only felt that her stomach was empty, and she didn't feel too hot, so she blew a few breaths directly on the hot food, and then ate it, Ji Fa is like this, when he eats, he is simply the reincarnation of a hungry wolf star, and when he eats, he relish it, and others look at it fragrant.

"King, slow down, drink some water, the food is still a little hot, don't burn your mouth again." Murong Xue persuaded amusedly.

"I don't know what happened to Aaron? If he is used to eating in the fiefdom, and no one takes care of him, what should he do with his sloppy appearance? Murong Xue thought about Li Along, and paced back and forth a few times.

The speaker has no intention of listening, since he and Murong Xue separated that night, Ji Fa felt that Murong Xue should like Li Along a little more, maybe she may feel closer to Li Along, an ordinary person, but she doesn't know what Li Along's wishes are, it seems that the next time I see Li Along, I have to ask carefully, so as to avoid a good marriage being broken up.

Ji Fa smiled and said, "Xiaoxue, let me ask you something, if your father and Li Along fall into the water at the same time, who should you save?" ”

"Of course it's Lee Aaron." Murong Xue didn't think about it, and blurted out directly.

"Huh? Why did you choose Aaron? I thought you'd save both of you at the same time. Ji Fa asked curiously.

"Because my father died a long time ago, what else can he save, he can't fall into the water again, and if Ah Long falls into the water, it is still possible, of course, to save Ah Long."

Ji Fa was speechless for a while...

Today, in the Hall of Virtue, Ji Fa went to court.

"Long live the King."

The ministers all knelt down, and Ji Fa asked the ministers to get up.

"In the future, the ministers in the Hall of Virtue will not kneel down, and they will all stand up and go to the temple." Ji Fa issued the first royal decree of the day.

"It's the king." The ministers were overjoyed and praised by all.

【Flood and Defeat System Activated】

[The monarch and the minister do not kneel, and the monarch loses the prestige and loses the country's value+1]

Ji Fa saw that today's first defeat value had arrived, and he was very proud.

He opened his mouth and said: "The lonely king went to Yongguo these days, and observed the people's feelings there, and also lived there, and found that although the Yongguo Great Wu faction believes in witch gods, the clansmen all practice witchcraft, but the king of Xi respects the national body, and the teachings are all teaching people to be good, and the clansmen are more stable and cultivated, and some are living by selling herbs. ”

The ministers talked to each other, and Taigongwang stood up.

"The king is virtuous and virtuous, and his prestige is far and wide, and the great witch faction is grateful for the king's kindness, so he voluntarily serves the king as the king, this is the blessing of the people, this is the blessing of the Zhou country, please send the royal decree to the great witch faction as soon as possible, and the alliance of one country and one faction will be repaired as soon as possible, and the day of peace will be set early."

"Taigong is right, he will immediately send the decree to the Yongguo Great Wu Sect."

Ji Fa looked at Taigongwang and smiled secretly as discussed last night.

Lichen stood up and said: "Do you want to tell the lord of Yongguo, after all, it is in his territory, and the territory of Yongguo is only under my Great Zhou and Shang Kingdom, and the national strength is very strong." ”

Ji Fa heard that it made sense, and just wanted to say yes, but after thinking about it, he said: "It's not proper, the lonely king hasn't seen the lord of Yongguo, and besides, what is urgent to complete one by one, when the time comes, the lord of Yongguo should send someone to see me himself, don't worry, don't worry, it's the king of Yongguo who is anxious at that time, and this matter will not be discussed for the time being."

[Disrespectful Defeat +1]

Ji Fa smiled secretly, today's second defeat is worth it, and it seems that it is a little smooth.

The Great Agricultural Division stood up and said: "The king, Dr. Li ordered the grain to be given under the fiefdom, and all of it was returned to the people, but the matter was not reported to the palace, and the law was not in agreement, so it was recommended that the king punish Li Along." ”

Ji Fa said majestically: "Yesterday, King Gu arrived at Dr. Li's fiefdom and personally gave him a royal decree, don't you know about this matter?" Is there anything wrong with the Lone King's command? ”

Da Nongsi hurriedly apologized and stood aside without speaking.

Zhou Gong looked at all this, stealing joy vigorously, but he didn't say anything, he watched all this clearly.

Seeing that the fire was almost up, Taigong stood up and said, "King, may I ask how is the armor of Dr. Li's fiefdom?" ”

"It's really good for the prince to ask, the lonely king is worried about this matter, yesterday I saw Dr. Li training Xiang Yong, although Xiang Yong is tenacious and strong, but he suffers from no weapons and armor, and his combat effectiveness is not good, and he will lose the battle after he really fights." Ji Fa pretended to be worried.

The minister in charge of the craftsman hurriedly said: "The king does not need to worry, the minister immediately sent skilled craftsmen to rush the weapons and armor to Dr. Li's fiefdom." ”

Ji Fa saw that he had taken the bait, and pretended to be deep and said: "Yes, the minister understands my worries, this matter depends on you, but this is always a symptom rather than a cure, and you have to think of a long-term plan." ”

The minister was puzzled: "What is the symptomatic treatment?" What is the mark? What is the root cause? What is Ben? ”

Taigongwang had heard this word once in advance, and he seemed much calmer, and said: "The king doesn't have to worry, the so-called weapons and armor are all the foundation of the soldiers, and the soldiers are the foundation of my Zhou's defense of the field, and there is no need, the old minister has a way, which can make my Zhou weapons and armor sufficient, and immediately order the governor of the whole territory of the Zhou State to lead the villagers to sow agriculture as soon as possible in the next few days, and after the farming is completed, immediately gather the blacksmiths in the same village and place to learn the art of building, and make weapons in their spare time, and then gather the tailorsIn their spare time, the peasants build weapons and armor, and when they are busy, they worry about cultivating the farmland, and the local government sends special personnel to guard them, and then sends special personnel from the Hall of Virtue to inspect them every once in a while, and those who are not qualified are directly punished, and those who are qualified are exempted from some taxes and money. ”

The ministers were all praised, Ji Fa looked at everyone's reactions, already knew the result, laughed and said: "Taigong is worthy of being the pillar of the country, okay, just do what the king said, give a month to implement, remember to step by step, take your time, this matter must not be rushed, if it is urgent, it will hurt the peasants, and if it is slow, it will hurt the country." ”

"Obey the King's command." All the ministers knelt down and bowed down to the king.

"Hey, hey, this lonely king just finished saying that he doesn't need to kneel and worship, and this is here again."

The ministers smiled at each other and looked around, and suddenly there was laughter in the Hall of Virtue.

In the Song City, above the main hall of the Shang Kingdom.

The ministers were all kneeling on the ground, trembling non-stop, only to see that above the court, on the central throne, the king of Xuan was flirting there with his concubine Daji in his arms, and Shen Gongbao was standing on one side, flatteringly serving.

"Your Majesty, this year it is time for the peasants to plow and sow seeds, please order the support of the king, so that the people of the whole country can complete the cultivation." A minister in charge of agriculture said.

After hearing this, Shen Gongbao said dissatisfiedly: "I told you a long time ago, in the future, don't say this kind of thing above the main hall, pollute the ears of the king, you just look at it, isn't it just a matter of farmers cultivating the fields, what should you do, you just look at it, otherwise what's the use of you?" ”

The Minister of Agriculture trembled, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Yes, Weichen knows." ”

"Get up, it's all clear, the order of the Lone King just now." The King said coldly.

"Got it, got it, remembered." The ministers had been kneeling for a long time, and some of them had numb legs.

Some ministers dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, it turned out that there was a fierce quarrel just now in this hall, and in the end they were all punished by the king, and they were sentenced to death, which was the infamous punishment of cannon branding. It is estimated that now these two people have been put on the shelf and roasted, and most of the ministers dare not speak now, nor dare they dare to provoke the anger of the king, otherwise the two people just now are a lesson from the past, it is really too depressing, the ministers dare not say many things, and there is a danger of losing their lives at any time, and the ministers swallow all the words that should be said in their stomachs.

Taishi Wen Zhong watched all this coldly, as long as his interests were not violated, he would definitely not say a word above the court.

Shen Gongbao looked at him and knew that he was not easy to mess with, so from the first day he came to this hall, he respected Master Wen Zhong, and he didn't dare to say it out loud to him, cautiously for fear of displeasing him, but it was not like this for other ministers, he used the power of the king of Xuan, the fox and the tiger were acting for the tiger, bullying the ministers above the hall, Bigan was killed, Qizi was imprisoned, and the young master was so frightened that he ran away, so above this court, as long as he and Daji had the same intention when speaking, It's okay to coax the king slowly, there is really nothing he wants to do about the affairs of this Shang country, and what can't be done, except for the matter of Wen Zhong Taishi, but Wen Zhong Taishi doesn't even dare to provoke the king, not to mention that he is a small national teacher, speaking of which, when he, a small national teacher, sees Wen Zhong Taishi, it is really a small thing, and it is really not qualified enough.

What happened on the hall just now, it is enough to see the difference, just above the hall, there were two ministers quarreling, the reason is very simple, that is, they are discussing, whether to release the matter of the son, Shen Gongbao remembered that the son of the emperor tirelessly advised himself, and the scene of the king, goosebumps all over his body, this kind of person What he said makes sense, you can't say him, the ministers also support him, the king is also very helpless, it is impossible to kill it, and all the ministers oppose it without exception, Even Wen Zhong Taishi is the same, the king is not stupid and will not do that kind of thing, let himself ride the tiger difficult, so Shen Gongbao found an opportunity, a visit to the son, a fault that did not belong to the son, the king is also very happy, he listened to the advice of the son every day and was about to die of a headache, so he was gracious to exempt the son of the great sin, chose a good environment of the cell, every day good food and good food to serve, send a special person to take care of it, as long as the son is not allowed to come out, it is said that it is a cell, if in the eyes of the people, It's a fairy day, and the reason is very simple, that is, I don't want to let the son appear in the court, but I have to find a reasonable excuse, the dismissal and return to the hometown is not in line with the laws of the Shang country, and this kind of thing Daji can't control, so he can only Shen Gongbao speak out and participate in the son, and now the purpose has been achieved.

"Hmph, I finally got it in, how can I say that I can put it away, I don't want this to come out, I talk in my ears every day, it's better to live than die, or I may be annoyed to death directly." Shen Gongbao thought to himself.

"Thinking of the beauty of these two people, which pot does not open which pot, he is unlucky, so he spoke to persuade the king to cure the sins of these two ministers, saying that the two of them are above the court, and there are ministers who have lost their bodies to disturb the palace, in order to uphold the monarchy, it is recommended that these two people be punished with cannon branding, so as to deter the ministers."

The king was annoyed to death by these two ministers, and he didn't want to listen to these two people, but Shen Gongbao handed over the idea, so he followed the words, and pulled the two ministers down and burned them, poor two ministers, this is probably their court above, Ao should not say that it is the last words said in this world. The two ministers didn't expect that such a simple crime would become such a tragedy when it was added to the heads of the two of them.

The other ministers were scared to death in their hearts, and they thought to themselves: "Who dares to speak out on the top of the hall in the future, this has not yet said the king, just because Xiancai was imprisoned, and asking the king to open the net to release him is against the will of Shen Guoshi, so who dares not to listen to him, hey, what he says in the future is what, I really don't dare to talk nonsense, otherwise I will kill the head at the lightest, and behead the whole family at the worst, if I am in a cannon burning punishment, it is really uncomfortable to die, and I dare not advise the king, Now when I look at the temple, I will not speak anymore, I will obey what the king says, and I will obey whatever the national teacher says. ”

Master Wen Zhong will stand up and say: "Your Majesty, the peasants can harvest a bumper grain by farming, and they can also pay the grain tax to the king early in the coming year. ”

The ministers hurriedly echoed and said: "What the Taishi said is right, the ministers are willing to second. ”

As soon as he heard the poison of the witch Gu, Shen Gongbao was frightened, it was to put a lot of poisonous snakes into the pit, and then pushed the person forward, and was slowly bitten to death by the poisonous snake, he saw that the Taishi Zhong had spoken, and immediately said to the king with a smile: "The king, what the Taishi said is reasonable, you see?" The king hurriedly nodded and praised, Taishi is the pillar of our country, quasi-play, if you have nothing to do, you can retreat.
