Early the next morning, in the palace, two groups of civil and military ministers gathered, each of them silent, silent.

At this time, an official from the noon gate started to play, and said: "A group of princes are making a decree outside the palace, and please ask the king to deal with it!"

Hearing this, the king nodded and said, "Invite all the princes into the palace." ”

Not long after, Xibohou Jichang and Dongbohou Chonghouhu walked into the main hall, bowed to the king, and said, "I've seen the king!"

Seeing that there were only two people, Xibo Hou Jichang and Dongbo Chonghou Hu, and the other two were not seen.

The king couldn't help but change his face and asked angrily.

"Where are the East Bohou Jiang Huan Chu and the South Bohou E Chongyu!"

Nanbohou E Chongyu is secondary, but Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu cannot afford to lose, otherwise the Shang Dynasty will have to set off a war.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other, and no one stepped forward to answer.

The guards in the post station were already anxious at this time, and they couldn't find the two of them everywhere, and they didn't dare to come to report to the king, so they could only continue to order people to look around.

There was no answer.

King Xu's eyes were cold, he got up and looked at Xibohou Jichang, and asked, "Xibohou, this king asks you." ”

"Where did Dong Bohou Jiang Huan Chu and Nan Bohou E Chongyu go? Why don't you come to the palace!"

"It's so hard that the two of them haven't even put this king in their eyes!"

Xibohou Ji Chang stepped forward and replied respectfully: "Back to the king, Ji Chang really doesn't know where the two of them went. ”

"If the king doesn't believe it, you can ask the guards in the post station and the Beibohou Chonghou Hu. ”

Hearing this, the king turned to stare at Chonghou Hu, with a faint hint of inquiry.

Seeing this, Chonghou Hu could only step forward and said: "Back to the king, last night Xiaohou drank more wine in a greedy cup and slept until dawn, I really don't know where the two of Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu and Nanbohou E Chongyu went!"

He really didn't know where the two had gone.

However, Chonghou Hu is not an idle person, and he naturally knows in his heart that this matter must be related to Xibo Hou Jichang.

It's just that although the four princes have disagreements, they are actually in the same spirit, and Chonghou Hu doesn't want to see Ji Chang die.

Moreover, it is better to have more than one thing, and there is nothing to say.

For a while, the hall became silent, and all the civil and military officials looked like they had nothing to do with themselves.

Obviously, he didn't want to ask about the affairs between the king and the four princes, and he didn't want to ask about the family affairs of the king.

Empress Jiang's matter, although it is related to the foundation of the Shang Dynasty.

But to put it bluntly, it is a family affair of the king, not the government, so the civil and military officials are not good to say.

At the moment, the king didn't know how, but he was afraid that Jiang Huan Chu, the marquis of Dongbo, and E Chongyu, the marquis of Nanbo, had already left the city of Chaoge at night, and the plan set by Fei Zhong had turned into an empty talk.

"Hmph, someone came to put Xibohou Jichang and Beibohou Chonghou Hu into prison, waiting to arrest Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu and Nanbohou E Chongyu, and then the king will be sent together. ”

After saying that, the king got up and walked towards the inner courtyard of the palace, ignoring the reaction of the civil and military officials in the court.

He couldn't take care of a lot, so he directly ordered someone to put Xibohou Jichang and Beibohou Chonghou Hu in prison.

Two of the four princes are about to rebel, if they let Ji Chang and the others leave the court, wouldn't it be tantamount to giving up the entire Shang Dynasty!

At this time, there was also a faint trace of remorse in the heart of the king, if the matter of Queen Jiang was handled properly, how could she fall into a dilemma now!

Compared with the hundreds of civil and military officials with different expressions, Xibohou Jichang and Beibohou Chonghou Hu looked very calm and followed the guards towards the heavenly prison.

Regarding this matter, the Chinese military officials of the DPRK can be said to be divided into three factions.

One faction is indifferent, as long as the four princes have not completely torn their faces with the king, then everything can be negotiated.

There is also a faction that is secretly worried, and now the king is obsessed with beauty and ignores the government.

If the four princes took the opportunity to rebel, they were afraid that the Shang Dynasty would be in danger.

Most of the last faction are military generals, and they can't wait for someone to rebel immediately, so they can take the opportunity to quell the chaos and make supreme meritorious deeds.

Let's say that the people of the Northern Underworld Dao left the range of Chaoge, rained down clouds and mist, and released the two of them, Jiang Huan Chu of the Eastern Bohou and E Chongyu of the Southern Bohou.

"This place is far away from Chaoge, as long as the two marquis are careful, they can return to the territory smoothly. ”

Dong Bohou Jiang Huan Chu and Nan Bohou E Chongyu are both armed with martial arts, far better than ordinary generals.

As long as you are careful on the road, it will not be difficult to return to your respective territory.

However, Poor Dao also asked the two marquis to return to the territory, be patient for the time being, and when the time is ripe, invite the princes of the world to raise troops together. ”

Although the two of them sat down separately, and both had 200 princes, they were far from being opponents of the Shang Dynasty, unless they were supported by people and the two sects.

Otherwise, it is better to endure for a while and fight with Xiqi at any time.

After speaking, the Northern Underworld Daoist had a flash of inspiration, turned into a cloud and floated into the air, and disappeared after a short time.

Seeing this, Jiang Huanchu, the Eastern Bohou, and E Chongyu, the Southern Bohou, each said goodbye and left.

However, it is true that the two of them escaped the catastrophe, but Xibohou Jichang was in deep danger, and he would die if he was not careful.

When the people of the Northern Underworld Dao returned to the court, it was already noon, and the people in the city were full of voices, so it was not lively.

The city gate, which had been closed for more than a month, was finally opened again, and the people of Shangjia could finally go out of the city.

However, under the lively scene, there are turbulent waves, and I don't know how many guards and soldiers are looking for the whereabouts of Jiang Huanchu of Dongbohou and E Chongyu of Nanbohou.

The people of the Northern Underworld Dao did not rush to see Xibohou Jichang, but walked towards the shop.

Over the course of a few dozen days, the business of the shops had become more and more prosperous, and almost everyone from the common people to the ministers of the court had heard of the opening of a shop in the city to sell ice, and the construction of an ornate ice cellar for the imperial palace.

At the same time, Jiang Ziya relied on his talent and learned extraordinary, and intersected with many ministers of the court, including Huang Feihu, the king of Wucheng, so he can be said to be clear about things in the court.

After ten o'clock in the afternoon, the Northern Underworld Daoist walked into the store under the scorching sun, only to see Jiang Ziya talking to a young man, with three copper coins and a tortoise shell on the table.

The Northern Underworld Daoist suddenly flashed a hint of color, and did not speak, but stood aside silently.

Tortoise shells and coins are the most common divination techniques, and many Terran monks know a little about them.

Legend has it that this technique was passed down by the emperor Fuxi in the past, implying that the innate gossip is subtle, which can predict the blessings and misfortunes and avoid natural disasters.

However, since the human emperor Fuxi preached, the innate gossip technique has been lost, and the divination technique has not become so effective.

Only Xibo Hou Jichang, according to the words about the innate gossip recorded in the classics, created the technique of acquired gossip.
