Chapter 76: Scaring Ji Chang
None of the ministers expected Di Xin to suddenly become angry, and it was still when he first met Ji Chang.
Ji Chang was startled and almost didn't kneel, but he still gritted his teeth and bowed.
"King, Xiqi is located in a remote area, and there is really no extra food!"
Ji Chang had been crying poor, but Di Xin was obviously unwilling to listen to his explanation.
"Someone! Tie up Xibohou to Lonely, quit and behead! ”
At this time, not only Ji Chang was stupid, but even the other three Bohou were stupid, no one thought that the king of people would turn his face on the spot, let alone that Di Xin would kill Xi Bohou.
"Don't be a king!"
"King, Xibohou is not at fault, there is really not much surplus food!"
Dong Bohou and Nan Bohou directly bowed down to intercede for Ji Chang, but the wolf-like guards also broke in at this time.
The guard directly pinched Ji Chang's arm, Ji Chang was in pain, and he knelt directly on the ground.
Seeing that he was about to be dragged out, Doctor Mabel stood up directly.
"King, killing people for no reason is difficult to convince the public!"
Bigan also walked out at this time and said, "King, even if Ji Chang is guilty, he will not be guilty of death!" ”
Di Xin snorted coldly and threw a bamboo slip in his hand to the ground, his face full of anger.
"The princes and frontier soldiers shall not exceed 100,000, Xibohou, you are so bold, you dare to support 400,000 soldiers, what! Do you want to compete with the lonely man for the throne of the king? ”
The bamboo slips clearly wrote the population of Xibohou, the soldiers, and the writing was exactly the same.
As soon as this bamboo slip came out, all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty suddenly looked at Xibohou.
Xibohou naturally shouted grievances, and the strength of the guards was extremely strong, which made Ji Chang sweat profusely.
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it has been stipulated to the eight great uncles that the number of soldiers of the princes and states shall not exceed 100,000, otherwise the world will attack them.
Therefore, even if there are only four great uncles left, this agreement is still valid.
In fact, it is not a secret that the four great uncles have self-respect, not to mention the four great uncles, even the Jizhou marquis like Su Hu is far more than 100,000 soldiers.
The unspoken rules still have to be followed, for example, Queen Jiang asked Jiang Hengchu, the marquis of Dongbo, for help, Jiang Hengchu only dared to bring 100,000 soldiers, instead of pouring out the nest.
Unless you want to rebel, you will always follow this rule.
The previous human kings also knew about this, but they all chose to be cautious, for fear that it would lead to resistance.
Di Xin didn't play cards according to the routine at all, and as soon as he came up, he directly flipped the table, and what he had to do was whether Xiqi dared to raise the banner of resistance at this time.
Emperor Xin's killing machine suddenly started, the three major bohou were worried, and Dong Bohou naturally didn't want Ji Chang to be killed, but this excuse of having 400,000 troops made people have no way to refute it.
He could only look at Bi Gan, and Bi Gan could only smile bitterly, he knew that Di Xin had really moved to kill.
Jiang Shang, who participated in the court meeting for the first time, naturally witnessed the whole process, so he quietly said a few words to Bigan, and Bigan's eyes suddenly lit up.
So Bigan looked at Huang Feihu, who had been silent.
Huang Feihu has a very high status, and he and Di Xin are playmates who grew up together, and they are victorious and triumphant, his words, the murderous Di Xin, still have to be listened to.
Seeing that Ji Chang was about to be pulled down by the guards and beheaded, at the critical moment, Huang Feihu stood up.
"King! Xibohou can't be killed! ”
Di Xin saw Huang Feihu walk out, and the six-pointed star pupil technique immediately relaxed, and returned to ordinary eyes.
"Why!"
"The soldiers fighting in front need food, not Ji Chang's head!"
Huang Feihu said a very pragmatic thing, and it hit the nail on the head.
As soon as Xi Bohou died, let alone food, I am afraid that the next day his son Bo Yi Kao will raise the banner of rebellion.
He was too affected by the aftermath, and what Di Xin needed most at present was food, and even a certain amount of cannon fodder.
"Ji Chang, do you admit to killing or punishment?"
"The king, the minister knows his mistake, and the minister admits punishment! I don't know ......."
Seeing that Ji Chang was frightened, Di Xin's angry face was also relieved.
The guards on both sides saw that the king gave them a look, and directly released Ji Chang, but did not go far so that they could be captured at any time.
"Ru Shanggong 2 million stone grain, and send 100,000 troops to report to Wen Taishi!"
"What! 2,000,000 stone grain! ”
"Since you have raised so many soldiers, you will bear the grain and grass!"
Ji Chang looked at Di Xin, he knew that if he didn't agree at this time, the king in front of him would really kill him.
"King, it will take some time for the food to be prepared, and I hope that the king will give some time!"
"It's limited to three years, but the army of 100,000 needs to be started immediately!"
Hearing Di Xin say that it took 3 years, Ji Chang immediately relaxed.
"In the past three years, Xibohou will stay in Chaoge City and deal with the problem of food and grass for the expeditionary army!"
"Obey orders!"
Ji Chang smiled bitterly, this court meeting, not only to contribute 2 million stone grain, but also to collect 100,000 troops and hand them over to Master Wen.
It can be said that the losses are heavy, and more importantly, it is necessary to stay in Chaoge City, which is also house arrest in disguise.
[Scare Xibohou Ji Chang, Ji Chang's loyalty is increased to 20%]
This Ji Chang's loyalty has actually increased, hehe, it seems that he will have to be scared often in the future.
Ji Chang retreated into the crowd, Di Xin could clearly see his legs trembling, it seemed that this King Wen of Zhou was still very scared.
After solving Ji Chang's matter, Di Xin looked at the ministers.
"Tomorrow is the first day of the next month, Lone will go to the ancestral temple to make sacrifices, and the ministers can go together!"
"Yes!"
"Retreat!"
Di Xin then strode away, leaving only the frightened Ji Chang and the worried ministers.
……
In the side hall, Di Xin has not been here for a long time, Su Daji is resentful in her heart, and she has invited her several times, but Di Xin is busy, where can she have time to play with her.
What Di Xin said when he left last time made the pheasant essence dare not stay in the side hall, who knows when Di Xin will break in.
As for the rest of the palace, the queen takes care of her son all day long, Huang Guifei went to the Huang Mansion before, just returned to the palace, and has been raising because of the cold in the palace.
Concubine Yang is like a piece of wood, planting mulberry and silkworms all day long, making incense and weaving cloth, and she is very busy.
The great palace is like a cage.
Su Daji had a destiny to harm Chengtang Jiangshan, but at this time, a loyal minister and good general were unsuccessful, and her heart was naturally anxious.
When he was at a loss, Di Xin came from outside.
"Beauty, what are you thinking, so obsessed!"
Su Daji was stunned for a moment, and then smiled like a flower, smiling like water.
"King, you haven't come to the side hall for a long time, the slave family misses you!"
Su Daji looked very well-behaved, and played the charm smile ten out of ten.
"I'm holding back something again!"
Di Xin smiled, lay comfortably on the bed, raised the wine bottle and took a sip.
"Is this how the king looks at the slave family, the slave family is so sad!"
After saying that, this Su Daji actually faked crying, which looked very similar.
Di Xin smiled and said, "Gu intends to repair the Xuanyuan Temple, but there are demons there, I'm afraid it will take a few days, is the beauty willing to be an overseer?" ”
"Xuanyuan Temple? The slave is willing! ”
This Su Daji has nothing to do, he was originally from Xuanyuan Temple, so he is naturally very familiar with it.
[In order to keep Su Daji from being bored, Su Daji's admiration value has been increased to -40%]
