Wen Zhong entered the city, saw the Lutai towering, majestic and magnificent, and estimated in his heart that such a building would require more than a few people to build, and the lonely grave outside the city, the paper flags fluttering, how many dry bones were buried here.

At this time, the big merchant house is about to die, and the outside of the city is plain white, is it an omen?

When they arrived at the noon gate, hundreds of officials greeted each other, and Wen Zhong rode down and said: "The old man in the court, Wen Zhong is on an expedition, and he has been away for many years, and the scenery in the city has changed a lot." ”

Wen Zhong's tone was not good, and he questioned, I am fighting a war outside, and you need to manage the country's political affairs, how can you get such a situation? The old ministers present were all entrusted by Wen Zhong before the war, and now they let themselves down.

A young man dressed in plain clothes shouted indignantly: "The prince is outside, but I have heard that the world is in chaos, the government is barren, and the princes are rebellious? Moreover, the palace is full of demons and confuses the king, and my father is angry with the demons, and the king has gouged out his heart and liver, and he cannot turn a blind eye until he dies." ”

Wen Zhong frowned and asked, "Whose child is this?"

An old minister next to him sighed and said, "This is the youngest son of the first minister. Saying how to deal with the demons in the palace and how to be killed again, the young man howled and cried, and the young man died, and his whole family was quite affected, and the ministers of the court did not dare to help, and life was quite hard, and he did not dare to do it in ordinary times.

Wen Zhong listened, and also sighed, the truth is more serious than he imagined, he went out, and the little information he got was already quite heavy, and now it seems that things are far more than that, it seems that there is a reason for the sudden decline in the fortune of big businessmen.

Wen Zhong nodded lightly and said: "I see the newspaper every year, and I notice it every month, but my heart hangs in the two places, and it is difficult for all parties to be calm." By the gift of heaven and earth. The war subsided, but I hated that I couldn't fly to Chaoge, but I didn't expect it to be late. I don't want to be better than the prime minister has been separated by yin and yang, whining and mourning. Saying that, he comforted the son of Bigan, and then entered the Nine Dragons Hall.

The officials followed into the Nine Dragons Hall. Seeing that the dust had been piled up on the dragon case, indifferent and desolate, he strode in, echoing bursts of echoes, thinking back to the past, countless ministers in the court and the central government met with him, admonished the king, spit flying, beating his chest. At that time, I still disliked them for being noisy, and now I looked at the minister behind me and cowered, and my heart was also irritable.

Suddenly, I saw several bronze pillars in the east of the temple. Pointing and asking, "These big pillars." Why is it placed on top of the main hall?"

The official in charge of the main hall knelt down and replied, "These great pillars are subject to new punishments." The name is cannon branding. ”

The master asked again, "What is a cannon brand?"

The palace official was about to explain, when the son of Nabigan stepped forward and explained: "Master, this punishment is caused by copper, and there are three layers of fire gates. Whoever has an official who obstructs things, is loyal and selfless, and serves the country with a naked heart, and says that the Son of Heaven is unkind, and that the Son of Heaven is unjust, he will burn this thing red with coal, and hold the copper pillar with both hands with iron cables, and wrap the left and right sides in the past, and the limbs will be burned into ashes, and the front of the palace will smell unpleasant. In order to create this punishment: the loyal and virtuous retreat, the sage abdicates, the capable go to the country, and the loyal die. ”

When Taishi Wen heard this, he was furious in his heart, and his eyes were bright, but he was so anxious that the one in the middle of the eyes opened, and the white light appeared far and near. The minister beside him was still scared when he heard the words of Bigan's son at first, but when he saw Wen Zhong's appearance, he immediately told the affairs of the court and let the Taishi be the master.

Wen Zhong only heard that the great merchants were completely corrupted, the first minister was dug out of his heart, Yaxiang was persuaded to retire and return, the doctor was burned, Qin Tianjian was beheaded, and countless ministers were wronged and died without turning a blind eye.

Hearing the words of these ministers, Wen Zhong's emotions could no longer be suppressed, and he suddenly shouted: "Old lady, Huang Feihu, the general of Zhenguo, has betrayed Dashang a few days ago, and he has come out of the five passes, and the generals of the five passes can't stop him. ”

Huang Feihu was stunned when he heard this, and shouted: "Presumptuous, nonsense." "Out of the general of Zhenguo, Huang Feihu is still Wen Zhong's protégé, he knows Huang Feihu, in his opinion, Huang Feihu has no reason to defect, this sentence is drunk, one is venting, incomprehensible, and the other is angry. ..., Wen Zhong looked around and asked, "What the hell is going on?" Huang Feihu is the general of the Zhenguo, a supreme minister, a family of seven generals who died for the country, and his loyalty can be seen, why did he defect?"

Think about it carefully, if Huang Feihu's status was to rebel, then Chaoge would have been destroyed a long time ago, and the military and political affairs of the whole country except for Wen Zhongke were Huang Feihu, he did not choose to rebel, but defected, which can be imagined as a last resort.

Wen Zhong's questioning, the surrounding ministers only promised to explain the process of the story, Wen Zhong silently pondered, his wife and sister-in-law were killed, and Yu Wumen duel with the king of Zhou, things are a little difficult to do?

As soon as he thought of the clear king in his eyes, why was he so dim, Wen Zhong shouted angrily: "Faint King-" He shouted to the herald behind him: "Pass my order, the army immediately went out of the five passes, pursued the Huang Feihu military headquarters, don't have a conflict, bluntly said that I Wen Zhong is back, please go back, I will deal with everything, I will take care of all grievances, and I will take care of all the grievances, and ignore all the blame." ”

As he spoke, he paused, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said:

"As long as he comes back, he will still be the general of Zhenguo, and everything will be treated as if nothing has happened. Even for the sake of my old face, I don't hear Zhong, it's an order, it's a request, it's a begging !!"

The hall was silent, the herald took the order flag and left quickly, the anger in Wen Zhong's heart finally exploded, and he roared and shouted:

"Ring the bells and drums, please drive!"

Saying that he stepped forward, rang the big bell and the giant drum, and sang the inner city palace, which was clearly audible, the king had just broken with Huang Feihu, and he was angry at Huang Feihu's defection in his heart, and he just grabbed a cannon brand to make fun of himself, and suddenly the guards around him said urgently: "King, it's not good, the old lady Wen Zhong has entered the court song, and is beating the drum and ringing the bell in the Nine Dragons Palace, asking the king to go to the court." ”

When the king suddenly heard the news, his heart was cold, and he immediately asked angrily: "Isn't the Taishi in the midst of the chaos in various places? Why did he suddenly return to the court? Why doesn't the lone king know anything?"

The attendant said: "The old lady is secretly returning to the court, and he only brought a hundred guards, and the army is waiting outside the five passes. ”

The king sighed, looked at Su Daji in his arms, and then smiled slightly: "Finally back, concubine, go, let's go to meet the old lady together, we always have to meet." ”

Su Daji smiled charmingly. Defaulted. King Su just likes Su Daji's appearance, beautiful, gentle, caring, and obedient...... This is the charm of the nine-tailed fox, not only the appearance is beautiful. Temperament, expression, and voice are all silently seducing sentient beings, and naturally the heart is fascinated.

The King of Su led Su Daji to the Nine Dragons Palace. Seeing Wen Zhong said: "I heard the bell and drum of the Nine Dragons Palace, and I know that the road is the old lady Wen Zhong, the old lady has been on an expedition to Beihai over the years, and the chaos has been pacified in various places. ”

Left and right hurriedly took the back chair. Wen Zhong didn't sit down, but stared at Su Daji in the arms of the king of Xu, his eyebrows were raised and his eyes flashed. Then he asked, "Dare to ask the king." Who is this?"

Su Daji looked at Wen Zhong's eyebrows and raised her eyes, panicking in her heart. Seeing that he asked himself, he was even more worried and subconsciously hid behind the King of Zhou, and the King of Zhou appeased him, and then said to Wen Zhong: "Oh, don't blame the master, I forgot to introduce just now, this is the beloved concubine of the lonely king, Su Daji, the daughter of Suhou of Jizhou." Ai Concubine, I've seen the old lady soon. ”

Su Daji knows that Wen Zhong has a magic spell, this kind of vertical pupil is a pupil technique, which is rarely circulated in the cultivation world, but her nine-tailed fox has inherited some secrets of the Dao, and this kind of pupil technique can only be possessed with a big background, Su Daji carefully said slightly: "The concubine has seen the old lady Wen." ”

Wen Zhong snorted, and then said lightly: "King, if the old minister is not mistaken, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, yes or no?", the last sentence is obviously a question, and as he spoke, he took out a nine-section whip and held it in his hand, and the king was still frowning, but suddenly saw this whip, and his face changed greatly: "Father?"

I didn't expect Wen Zhong to want to use this whip, the king got off the high platform, and bowed to the nine-section whip, this whip represents the previous king, and he had to worship, and as soon as Wen Zhong's nine-section whip was taken out, only the monk's heavenly eye could see the breath of the human emperor was pervasive, and the nine pale dragons could be vaguely seen coiling on it, and the dragons were groaning.

The eyes of the nine divine dragons were all aimed at Su Daji, Wen Zhong's words were true words at this time, the Nine Dragons Hall was indeed not a place for harem intervention, and Su Daji was still a demon, which was inconsistent with the rules of the ancestors.

Su Daji looked at the brilliant avenue of the world, upright and vast, not his own demons can fight, and the luck of the human race is born to restrain demons, this is the result of the persecution of the human race by the demon race back then, the sages of the human race at that time, survived under the brutal killing of the demon race, and finally swore an oath that the descendants of the human race and the demon race are incompatible, so the mortal world of the human race, the demon race above the court cannot be approached, and the cultivation world is even more naked under the banner of subduing demons and eliminating demons.

Su Daji exclaimed, the king of the Su looked at it, Su Daji's eyes were full of horror, his eyes had turned into blue vertical pupils, and he was about to turn into a circle.

"The king, the concubine is a little uncomfortable, and the old lady is discussing major matters with the king, so it is really inconvenient for the concubine to participate. ”

The king nodded pityingly, and then watched Su Daji return to the harem, Wen Zhong watched Su Daji slowly walk out of the Nine Dragons Palace, his eyes flashed, and he was murderous.

The king's face was not good-looking, but for Wen Zhong, the king still had a trace of fear in his heart, Wen Zhong saw Su Daji disappear, and then his face was solemn, and he bowed to the king and said: "Rely on the power of heaven, feel your majesty to the blessing of Hongfu, destroy monsters and demons, and suppress thieves." After fifteen years of conquest, the ministers sacrificed their lives to serve the country, and they did not dare to lose the king. The ministers heard the chaos in the inner court outside, and the people from all walks of life rebelled, so that the ministers' hearts hung in the two places, and they couldn't wait to put their wings in front of the king. Seeing the face of the sky today, can it be true?"

The king said: "Jiang Huan Chu conspired against me, and E Chongyu connived against evil and rebelled, and they were all ambushed, but his son was rampant, did not respect the law of the country, and left all places in chaos, causing the pass to disturb the people, and it was even lawless, and it was hateful!"

The Taishi asked: "Jiang Huan Chu is on the throne, and E Chongyu is indulging in evil, who can testify to it?"

The Taishi replied and asked: "The ministers are outside, and they have been fighting hard for many years; His Majesty: What is the thing where Huang Deng Deng is placed in the east of the palace?"

The king said: "The ministers are evil and angry, and they are loyal and buy straight." Therefore, this punishment is called cannon branding. ”

The Taishi asked again: "When the minister entered the capital, what was the place where he saw the towering sky?"

The king said: "I have no place to rest in the summer, and I have no rest, and I have made this trip happy, and I also look high and far, so that my ears and eyes will not be blinded, and my name is Lutai." ”

Wen Taishi was most angry about Huang Feihu's matter, and asked: "Huang Feihu's family of seven generals, who opened up land for the big business, why did they defect?"

When the master heard this, he was very unhappy in his heart. So he shouted, "Now the four seas are desolate." The princes rebelled together, and all of them were defeated by the princes, so there was a danger of rebellion. Today, His Majesty will not apply benevolence. Grace does not fall, loyalty does not accept, near treacherous and far virtuous. Love songs and drinks day and night, extensive civil engineering, the people are tired and opposed, and the army is starved of food and dispersed. ”

"The civil, military, and civilians are the limbs of kings. If the limbs are smooth, his body is incorruptible, and if the limbs are not smooth, his body is disabled. The king treats the ministers with courtesy, and the ministers are loyal to the king. I want the king to be in Japan, and I will give it up. Eight guests to serve, enjoy the abundance of peace and happiness, and receive the blessing of consolidating the emperor's foundation. Today, His Majesty has ascended to the Great Treasure. Cruelty to all surnames. The people rebelled, and the people rebelled. "...," Beihai Swordmen. The envoys worked hard to destroy the demon party. For several years, I don't know the great changes in the court, and the national body is completely gone, so that the ministers work the frontier, just like the hard work to build a bird's nest in the decaying curtain. However, His Majesty thinks about it! The ministers will return to the dynasty today, and they will have their own policies for governing the country, and they will allow the ministers to show again. Your Majesty, please return to the palace for the time being. "The king had nothing to say, so he had to go into the palace-

When the king returned, Wen Zhong said to the ministers in the main hall: "All the lords, you don't have to go back to the palace, you all go to the old man's mansion to discuss and draw up a charter for the king to present. ”

It is said that Wen Zhong gathered the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty in his house to discuss countermeasures, a total of three days, and the fourth day entered the court to meet the king, and the civil and military officials knew that Wen Taishi had this upper hall. On that morning, two classes of civil and military officers were gathered, and hundreds of officials were finished. The king said: "There is a chapter out of class, and there is nothing to do." In the left class, Wen Taishi saluted and said: "The minister is sparse." ”

Present the recital, spread it out, and list the king:

Gu Shutai's ministers heard Zhong's words. It is a great change in national politics, there are immorality, spoiling and prostitution, reversing the tragic punishment, changing the sky, and worrying about unpredictable things. ”

"Chenwen: Yao was ordered to worry about the world as his own worries, and he did not often take his position as his pleasure. Therefore, to expel the rebellious ministers, to seek the virtuous saints, is to get Shun, Yu, Ji, deeds and blame, all the saints and virtues, virtuous and capable of supporting positions, edification and great practice, the world is harmonious, all the people are peaceful and benevolent, each has its own suitability, the action should be courteous, calm and middle-of-the-road, is the "king will be born and then benevolent". ”

"Yao reigned for 70 years, and he was abdicated to Zen Yu Shun. Yao collapsed, and the world did not return to Yaozi Dan but to Shun. Shun knows that it is unavoidable, that is, the position of the Son of Heaven, with Yu as the phase, because of the assistance of Yao, following its unification, it is to rule the world with a vertical arch and inaction. The music made is perfect. ”

"Today, His Majesty will inherit the throne, and he should practice benevolence and righteousness, give grace to the people, cherish the army and the people, respect the military and the military, and obey the heavens and the earth. How could His Majesty be close to lewd wine, adulterous and affectionate, and tear out the queen's artillery, kill the heirs, and cut himself off. All these are the actions of the king of the unenlightened, and he will bring about his own destruction. The minister wishes that His Majesty will change the past wrongs, practice benevolence and righteousness, be far from the villain, and be close to the gentleman; The ministers took the crime of pretending to be Ji Tianyan, and the article Chen is listed below:

The first piece: dismantle the deer platform, and the people will not be chaotic;

The second piece: the abolition of cannon branding, so that the officials are loyal;

The third piece: fill the basin, the palace is self-safe;

Fourth: go to the wine pool and the meat forest to cover up the slander of the princes;

The fifth: depreciate yourself, don't set up the main palace, so that the inner court is free of temptation;

Sixth: Survey the ministers, quickly cut Fei Zhong, especially Hun and happy people's hearts, so that the unscrupulous people are far away;

Seventh: opening warehouses to help people with hunger;

Eighth: send the mission to recruit peace in the southeast;

The ninth: visit the relics in the mountains and rivers, and release the hearts of the suspicious people in the world;

Tenth: Accept advice and open the way of speech, so that the world will not be blocked. ”

When the king saw it, Wen Zhong stood next to the dragon case, holding a nine-section whip, handed the ink pen to the king and said, "Please approve the implementation of Your Majesty." ”

At this time, Wen Zhong was like a villain who forced the palace, but most of the ministers present were supportive and did not feel the slightest inappropriateness.

The king looked at the ten articles, frowned and said: "The first thing is to demolish Lutai, Lutai is expensive, it costs people and money, it is a pity to demolish it, and it will be discussed later; the second piece can be dismantled; the third piece can be dismantled; the fifth piece is degraded after the Su, Jinda has a quiet and idle character, and there is no loss of morality, how can it be degraded? In addition to these three cases, the following will be allowed. ”

Wen Zhong wanted to persuade again, and the king said: "As the master plays, the lonely king has approved seven pieces, and three are waiting for further discussion." ”

Wen Taishi said: "Taishi played, I approve seven pieces, and these three things will be discussed before they are done." Wen Taishi said: "Your Majesty's three things are not enough to be done, these three things are related to the source of chaos, Your Majesty must not ignore it, and you must not let it go hastily." At this time, Fei Zhong went out to speak for the king, Fei Zhong was promoted to an official position by the king later, this kind of little person didn't recognize it, and immediately shouted: "Who are you?"

Fei Zhong was involved by Wen Zhong's momentum and exclaimed, "Humble Fei Zhong." ”

Wen Zhong smiled angrily and said: "You are Wen Zhong, Fei Zhong cleverly confuses the master, kills me angrily, come here, pull this guy out of the noon gate and behead him!"

When the king heard this, he secretly blamed Fei Zhong for not knowing anything, and the old lady himself had to give him three points, you dared to go up to find death, and hurriedly said: "The master is sparse, and he is right." These three things will be done by me, and we will discuss them later. Fei and You Erchen, although they offended the Counselor, their crimes were unproven, and they sent the legal department for investigation, and they were really guilty, and they had no complaints. ”

Wen Zhong looked at the king of the Emperor and begged for perfection, and felt that he was a little too much, he was admonishing, which made the king afraid, don't want to suffer the crime of bullying the king first, Wen Zhong knelt on the ground and said: "The ministers wish that the Quartet will be subdued, the people will be safe, the princes will be obedient, the minister's wish is enough, dare to have him!" ......

This matter was temporarily suspended, Wen Zhong went back to the house to rest, and the herald of the army came back and brought Huang Feihu's message, Wen Zhong hurriedly asked, "Has Huang Feihu ever come back?"

The herald responded: "General Huang went out of the five passes, the last general has just chased after him, and he saw that the Xiqi army had already received General Huang back to Xiqi, the last general was incompetent, and the army continued to hurry, and the people were sleepy and the horses were tired, and the pursuit could not be pursued." ”

Hearing Zhong's sigh, Dashang lost a tiger general, and his luck was about to be lost again
