Chapter 560: Emperor Xin kills the princes
In Beihai, Wen Zhong personally beheaded Yuan Futong, and the Beihai rebellion, which lasted for several years, was finally put down by him.
"Master, we haven't found the person who shot before. Wen Zhong's generals reported.
Wen Zhong listened and nodded indifferently, with a worried look on his face.
"The North Sea rebellion is not as simple as it seems. Yuan Futong is sparse and thin, and he can't afford to gather the princes of Beihai, and there must be someone behind him. Wen Taishi sighed, "My army of 300,000 conquered Beihai, and now there are only 200,000 left. Although the rebellion was quelled, the loss of troops and the cost of countless losses caused great damage to the country and the people. The power of the Great Merchants......"
Wen Zhong's class master returned to the court, and a hundred miles away, Western disciples such as Medicine Master and Maitreya also set off to return to the West.
"Senior brother, the power of the sect is really strong. Maitreya looked at the direction Wen Zhong left and said, "Now the three generations of disciples who have joined the Shang Dynasty are only the three generations of disciples of the Interception Sect, and these three generations of disciples are no more than the highest cultivation of Taiyi Golden Immortals, but with the help of the formation, they can compete with us in Kyushu." If the second generation of disciples of the Interception Sect were dispatched, we would not have been able to hold out for so long. I now understand why the Master is so planned. If we don't weaken the sect, when will our Western religion flourish?"
The pharmacist nodded and said, "What the senior disciple said is very true, but fortunately, the disciple of the sect is arrogant and is bound by the saint. Otherwise, if they go out together, how can we complete the task assigned by Uncle Shi? Okay, now that this is the case, I will return to Mount Meru later. ”
Jiang Ziya settled down in Chaoge under the arrangement of his brother-in-law Song Yiren, but his life was very unsatisfactory. Fortunately, Jiang Ziya has a calm personality, even if there are many hardships, he can endure it and wait for the opportunity silently. Coincidentally, at this time, Di Xin recruited the princes of the four towns into the court song, which made Jiang Ziya feel something.
Di Xin killed Empress Jiang and forced away the two princes, and his temperament became more and more tyrannical. He executed many ministers with cannon branding, and also ordered the princes of the four towns to come to the court to meet him. Except for Jiang Huan Chu, the princes of the four towns immediately came to the court after receiving the order, including Xibo Hou Ji Chang, only Jiang Huan Chu was still hesitating.
Jiang Huan Chu hesitated for two days, and finally decided to go to Chaoge. He thought to himself that even if Di Xin was mediocre, he would not kill him when he went to the court to meet him, at most he would reprimand him. Just in case, before leaving, Jiang Huan Chu handed over the power of Donglu to Yin Jiao.
Zhou Tianci received Yuan Ming's news about Jiang Huan Chu and couldn't help laughing at his innocence. Jiang Huan Chu was indeed loyal to the Shang Dynasty, Di Xin had already killed his daughter, and he still had illusions about Di Xin. However, Zhou Tianci did not stop him. For Zhou Tianci, it didn't matter whether Jiang Huanchu was loyal to the Shang Dynasty or not, what mattered was that he handed over Donglu to Yin Jiao. With Donglu, Yin Jiao has the strength to seize the world, and this is also an important part of his plan.
In order to ensure Yin Jiao's mastery of Donglu, Zhou Tianci signaled Yuan Ming to secretly eliminate those with ulterior motives, and after that, Zhou Tianci went to Chaoge.
What the princes of the four towns did not expect was that as soon as they arrived in Chaoge, they were imprisoned by Di Xin. If it weren't for Huang Feihu and the others' hard persuasion, Di Xin would probably kill the princes of the four towns immediately. Among the princes of the four towns, Di Xin was the most jealous of Jiang Huan Chu, so he executed him despite the opposition of his ministers.
After Jiang Huan Chu's death, Di Xin turned his gaze to Ji Chang. Among the princes of the four towns, Ji Chang's status was second only to Jiang Huan Chu.
For Di Xin's wanton behavior, Huang Feihu and the others couldn't bear it anymore. Under his leadership, Abishan and Weizi, Jizi, Boyi, Shuqi and so on played together, and under the strong advice of several people, Di Xin could only spare Ji Chang and kill E Chongyu.
Seeing this, Fei Zhong, Emperor Xin's favorite minister, quietly said to Emperor Xin: "Your Majesty, Ji Chang seems to be loyal, but in fact he is treacherous, he confuses the ministers, raises troops to disrupt the world, if he is let go back to Xiqi, it will be a dragon into the sea and a tiger back to the mountain." The minister has a plan to solve Ji Chang. ”
Di Xin is now full of thoughts about killing the princes of the four towns, this is the Zhun Ti Sage is doing it, and he can't resist it at all. Hearing that Fei Zhong had a plan, he hurriedly asked.
"Your Majesty has pardoned Ji Chang, and the hundred officials will definitely go and practice it for him. And the ministers went to see him off on His Majesty's behalf, and then put him to the test. If he really devotes himself to the country, then His Majesty will pardon him. If he dares to deceive the king and bend the law, then His Majesty will kill him immediately to prevent future troubles!" Fei Zhong said.
Di Xin nodded in agreement.
Ji Chang escaped to death by luck, where did he dare to live in Chaoge for a long time. After being exonerated, Ji Chang immediately packed up and prepared to return to Xiqi. Ji Chang has a high status, and Bigan and others came to practice it for him. While everyone was drinking, Fei Zhong and You Hun came on horseback. When the officials saw the two, they were displeased, and they got up and left without giving face.
Baiguan can leave, but Ji Chang cannot. He respectfully entertained the two of them, and the three of them drank together.
After drinking a glass of wine, Fei Zhong said: "May I ask the virtuous marquis, Zhong tasted that the virtuous marquis can play the innate number, is there no difference in the results?"
Ji Chang drank a lot of wine, with a sense of wine on his body, and said casually: "The principle of yin and yang has its own fixed number, how can it be uncertain? But people can avoid it by doing good, and they can also escape." ”
Fei Zhong and You Hun glanced at each other, with surprise in their eyes, and he asked again: "If you don't know what the future will happen today, can you do it?"
At this time, Ji Chang was already half-drunk and had forgotten the identities of the two. Hearing the two of them ask about the government, Ji Chang sighed for a long time. Since entering the court song, Ji Chang has been too disappointed in Di Xin, and he has a lot of complaints in his heart.
"The country's morale is gloomy, and if it is only passed on to it, I am afraid that it will not end well. Your Majesty's current actions are accelerating the destruction of the country's fortunes, but it's a pity that Your Majesty doesn't listen to our advice. Ji Chang said.
Hearing these words, Fei Zhong and You Hun were overjoyed. The two talked to Ji Chang a few more words, and asked Ji Chang to calculate the future for them, and Ji Chang responded one by one. After that, the trio saluted separately.
After the separation, Fei Zhong and You Hun scolded: "This old beast, he died first, but said that he could die well." I waited for all the glory, but instead said that I was waiting for the ice to freeze to death, which is clearly scolding us, which is really hateful!"
With a grudge against Ji Chang, the two reported Ji Chang's words to Di Xin. Ji Chang's drinking words were originally taboo, but now they have been added to by Fei Zhong and You Hun, how can Di Xin not be angry?
"Old horseman, I forgive his sins and let him go back to China, not only is he not grateful, but he insults me, it is really unreasonable! Spread my will, order Chao Tian to capture Ji Chang, catch Ji Chang, immediately behead, order the capital, in order to guard against evil words!"
Seeing Fei Zhong and You Hun away, Ji Chang sobered up a little, and when he thought of what he said just now, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Before Ji Chang came to find one, he had calculated a hexagram for himself, and the hexagram showed that he was looking for a seven-year prisoner. Now that I think about it, my gaffe just now is in response to the hexagram.
