Chapter 374: Confusing Truth with Falsehood
"King, although the county system is good, it does not conform to the current national conditions, and I hope that the king will take back his life." Ji Chang finally spoke at this time.
"Look, this is our Xibohou who loves the people like a son, and keeps saying that for the sake of his subjects, and now as soon as the county system is implemented, he can't care about his people." Di Xin pointed at Ji Chang and mocked.
Shang Rong and Bigan and the others also looked at Ji Chang when they heard this, originally in their eyes, Xibohou Jichang was a real benevolent and righteous person, they thought that among these princes, only Xibohou Jichang would support the county system, but they didn't expect it to be a raccoon dog.
Ji Chang's status in the hearts of Shangrong Bigan and others has declined sharply.
Di Xin saw the expressions of many ministers and knew that his goal had been achieved, otherwise his ministers had been confused by Ji Chang's apparent benevolence and righteousness, and when he dealt with things in the future, he would eventually be constrained.
At this time, where can Ji Chang take care of so much, at this time he must stand up, first, if he can prevent the king from implementing the county system, it is the best.
Even if he can't stop it, he can be regarded as standing up and expressing his position, and when the time comes, he will pull E Chongyu and Jiang Huan Chu to rebel together, and he will have a reason.
Ji Chang is extremely cunning, and every decision he makes will choose what is most beneficial to him.
"The widow will give you one last chance, agree or disagree, you can choose for yourself, think about the consequences and then answer me!" Di Xin directly issued an ultimatum to force the princes below to make a decision immediately.
"This ...... The king, we do not agree to this matter, and hope that the king can retract his will for the sake of the stability of the great merchants. ”
The many princes in the main hall looked at each other, thinking that with so many people united, Di Xin should not do anything to them, so everyone still rejected the implementation of the county system very strongly.
"Very good, the widow admires your courage very much, protect the king, close the Chaoge City, don't let go of any of the people brought by these princes, and all these people are also arrested by the widow, and those who dare to resist will be killed!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Kong Xuan suddenly appeared in the main hall, and with him appeared hundreds of forbidden troops, and as soon as these forbidden troops appeared, they surrounded those princes.
"Who are you? Dare to be presumptuous here? Looking at the forbidden army that surrounded him, as well as Kong Xuan who appeared in the main hall, Jiang Huan said inwardly.
Kong Xuan didn't say anything, and directly took out the order to protect the king given by Di Xin.
"This king is Kong Xuan, the newly crowned protector of the king, all the princes, if you don't want to die, just let these forbidden troops take them down, otherwise you will die in vain."
The princes froze in place when they saw the token, not knowing what to do, because they didn't expect this to be the case before they came, and it was okay to let them unite against Di Xin, but if they rebelled directly, then forget it.
These princes don't have the strength and confidence of the four princes to dare to rebel, not to mention that they are now in Chaoge City, the imperial capital of the Great Shang, they don't even have the strength to resist, so they can only follow the forbidden army to the prison first, and wait for it to calm down.
"I wonder what the king is going to do when he arrests us all? Without our people, the great merchants will be in chaos, please think twice! Ji Chang asked cautiously.
Di Xin didn't care about Ji Chang's threat, but just fought back with an indifferent face, "Hmph, Ji Chang, you also think too highly of yourself, just some chaos, the widow is not afraid, the widow wants to see which people dare to jump out and create chaos, Kong Xuan, take all these down, no one is allowed to visit without the order of the widow." ”
"Yes, King!"
Seeing that there was no room for reversal in this matter, many princes could only obediently follow the forbidden army out of the main hall.
After all the princes left, Di Xin said to the others in the main hall, "Everyone, since these princes who are blocking our implementation of the county system have been resolved, then you can start the trial of the county system, and if anyone stops it, you will be directly beheaded!" ”
"Understood."
"My lord, what about the princes' territories? Even if we trap those princes in Chaoge City, their fiefdoms still can't implement the county system, so wouldn't we have lost all our efforts? Wen Zhong stood up and asked.
"Don't worry, since the widows can trap these princes in Chaoge, of course they can also let their fiefdoms smoothly implement the county system, you guys come in." As he spoke, Di Xin shouted outside.
Many ministers hurriedly looked towards the door, only to see that the people who walked in from outside the main hall were the princes who had just been captured.
"What's going on, my lord? Why did you let them go again? Wen Zhong looked back at Di Xin and asked.
"Well, they are all fake, the widows plan to let them return to their respective fiefdoms, and the real princes and widows are not prepared to let them go at all."
Looking at the princes in front of them, Wen Zhong and the others said excitedly, "King, with these people, then our implementation of the county system will definitely be very smooth, no one would have thought that these people are fake." ”
Uncle Wang Bigan also said with a smile on his face: "Yes! Not only that, but we can also safely receive their fiefdoms through these people, and realize the true unification of the entire Great Shang. ”
"Okay, you set off immediately, return to your respective fiefdoms, each with an army of 10,000, and immediately start implementing the county system after you return, as for the families of those princes, if they stop you, kill them directly."
"The widow will give you three years, and after three years, the war of the gods will officially begin, and we must completely control the entire Great Shang, only then can we confront the gods and demons in the sky."
After these princes left, Di Xin instructed Wen Zhong in the main hall again, "Taishi, you will transfer 10 million troops next, and transfer them to the passes of Dashang respectively, and the remaining 10 million will be responsible for guarding the city near Chaoge, which will be completed within a year, you can go down and arrange it." ”
"The king can rest assured, the old minister will definitely complete this matter within a year, and he will never disappoint the king."
"Well, the master is doing things, and the widow is naturally at ease."
…………
After retiring from the dynasty, Di Xin and Kong Xuan came directly to the Emperor's Mansion, and Kong Xuan first asked, "Emperor, are those fake princes safe?" Will it be seen? ”。
"Don't worry, they are all made by me personally, not only can no one see it, but their strength has also reached the level of Da Luo Jin Xian, so you don't have to worry about their safety."
"In that case, it's foolproof."
