Let's say that Fei Zhong was summoned to the palace by the king of Zhou, these **** saw that the king was sullen, and they were secretly careful in their hearts, racking their brains, wanting to take this opportunity to please King Yu and go further. When the king saw him come in, it was as if he had seen a light in the darkness, and when he drowned, he struck a dead tree, and told him his troubles. He withdrew the maids left and right, and said to Fei Zhong: "I went to the Nuwa Temple to pray for blessings a few days ago, and accidentally saw its gorgeous face, peerless, and now looking at the six palaces, there is no one who can meet my wishes, I don't know if Aiqing can have a good plan to relieve my sorrows?" His Majesty will pass on a decree tomorrow and promulgate the princes of the four roads: 100 beauties in each town to fill the royal court. Why worry about the world's best and not being selected by the king. ”

The king was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to him: "Qing is really the minister of my humerus, and with Qing here, why worry that the world cannot be calmed." What Qing played is very much in line with my intentions, and I will issue an edict tomorrow morning. Let's go back for now. That Fei Zhong was so praised by the king of Zhou, he felt like floating in the clouds, and he walked away happily at the moment, and even forgot to salute. Seeing him like this, the king nodded with satisfaction, and was also very proud of his imperial skills.

On the second day, in the early dynasty, the king said to His Royal Highness: "I want to pass down the decree, promulgate the princes of the four towns, and select 100 beauties from good families in each town and place, regardless of rich or poor, only with dignified appearance, gentle and graceful, courteous and leisurely, and generous manners, so as to serve as a harem servant." ”

As soon as the king's words fell, he saw a minister walking out of the ranks of civil officials. He scolded in his heart: "It's you old guy again." I couldn't help but let it play, so I could only listen with a gloomy face. The prime minister Shang Rong didn't care about the face of the king, stepped forward and said: "If you have a way, all the people will be happy, and you will obey the order." Today, there are thousands of beauties in His Majesty's harem, and there are concubines and queens. Now I want to choose beautiful women, and I am afraid of losing popularity. The ministers heard that 'those who are happy with the people's happiness will also be happy with the people', and those who are worried about the people's worries will also be worried about their worries'. In the past, there were Yao, Shun and the people to be happy, to benevolence and virtue of the world, do not do anything to fight, do not kill, the stars shine in the sky, the manna falls, the phoenix stops in the court, the sesame grass is born in the wild; the people are rich and rich, pedestrians give way, dogs do not bark, the night rain and the day is clear, the rice grows double spikes; this is the image of prosperity and prosperity. Now, if Your Majesty takes the pleasures of the near time, he will be dizzy and colorful, and his ears will hear*, and he will indulge in wine, and he will swim in the gardens and hunt in the mountains and forests, and this is the image of no way of ruin. The old minister treats the prime minister as a guilty minister, ranks in the court, and receives the great favor of three generations of kings, and does not dare not remind His Majesty. The minister hopes that His Majesty will enter the sage, retreat, practice benevolence and righteousness, and reach morality, so that harmony will permeate the world, and the natural people will be rich and rich, the world will be peaceful, and the four seas will be prosperous, and the people will share infinite blessings. Besides, now that Beihai is still fighting, it is appropriate to cultivate its virtues, love its people, cherish its financial expenses, and pay attention to its orders, although Yao and Shun are just like that; why bother to choose servants and then be happy? The ministers are ignorant and do not know the taboos, and hope to be accommodated. ”

When the king saw that the merchant had finished speaking, His Royal Highness's ministers echoed him, and he had to say, "The words are very good, so this matter will be stopped." But in his heart, he was unwilling, so he asked someone to bring that Fei Zhong to discuss again. Since then, King Su has gradually alienated Shang Rong, Mei Bo and others, and favored Fei Zhong and You Hun even more.

In the eighth year of the reign of King Xu, the four princes of the world led 800 towns to make a pilgrimage to Shang. At this time, Taishi Wenzhong was not in the capital, and the king favored Fei Zhong and You Hun. Everyone had no choice but to send someone to give heavy gifts to the two. But there is only one person, is the Marquis of Jizhou, surnamed Su Minghu, this person is born like a fire, upright, and when he saw a little injustice and illegality in the past, he enforced the law and punished, and many pretended, so he never gave gifts to make friends with the two, so he was secretly hated by the two.

On the morning of the next day, the king personally came forward to comfort the head of the princes of the world, Jiang Huanchu, the eastern prince, the southern prince, the southern prince, Ji Chang, and the northern prince, Chonghou Hu. He also ordered the prime minister to negotiate and Arbigan to entertain the princes of all parties at the banquet in the Xianqing Palace. After retreating from the court, leaving that Fei Zhong, You Hun and the two asked: "A few days ago, Aiqing played a concert and wanted to order the princes of the four towns of the world to offer beautiful women, but when I issued the decree, I was stopped by the prime minister; I don't know what the two Aiqing want?"

Fei Zhong bowed down and said: "The Prime Minister admonished the selection of beautiful women, Your Majesty accommodated it on the same day, and did not issue a decree, this is Your Majesty's advice, and virtue is also." The subordinates know it, everyone knows it, and the world admires it. If this is done again, it will make His Majesty not enough to win the trust of his subjects, and it is absolutely impossible. Recently, I heard that Hou Su of Jizhou has a daughter, bright and beautiful, quiet and ladylike, if you are elected to the palace, you can serve as an envoy. Moreover, if he only chooses his daughter, and does not disturb the people of the world, it is expected that the ministers will no longer object. "The king listened to what he said, and he didn't feel that Long Yan was happy, "What Qing said is extremely true!" and then ordered someone to report to Hou Suhu of Jizhou.

Before long, Su Hu followed the messenger to the Longde Hall to meet him. The king said to him at the moment: "I heard that Qing has a daughter, who is virtuous and leisurely, and has a moderate demeanor. I want to choose him to serve in the harem. At that time, Qing will be a relative of the country, eat his Tianlu, accept his prominent position, Yongzhen Jizhou, sit and enjoy health, famous all over the world, and the world is not envious. I don't know what you think?"

Su Hu heard this, and said: "In Your Majesty's palace, there are concubines, and down to the concubines, which are nothing less than thousands. Now Your Majesty listens to the flattery of the left and right, and wants to trap Your Majesty in injustice. Moreover, the posture of the courtier's daughter Pu Liu has never been polite, and her virtue and color are not enough. I also hope that Your Majesty will pay attention to state affairs, and quickly cut off this villain who slanders, so that future generations in the world will know that Your Majesty is cultivating himself with a righteous heart, and listening to advice, is not a lustful king, isn't it beautiful!"

After hearing this, the king laughed and said, "What Qing said really doesn't know the general trend. From ancient times to the present, who does not want to marry a woman into a famous family. What's more, if you marry into the harem, your dignity will be no less than that of the Son of Heaven;

Seeing that the king was so persistent, and that Fei Zhong, You Hun fanned the flames on the side, and until today, if there is no explanation, he doesn't want to get out of this palace. Although he is upright, he can sit firmly in the position of the Marquis of Jizhou, and he is not stupid. At first, he could only be false and wronged, and stepped forward and said: "In this case, when the minister returns to Jizhou, he will bring the little girl into the palace to serve the king." ”

Then the king was overjoyed when he heard this, he was now fascinated, how could he still tell whether what Su Hu said was true or false. It's just that Fei Zhong and You Hun are the ancestors of deception, and they know that this Su Hu is a person, and they don't want this honest person to be rare and smart. didn't dare to expose it to his face, which ruined the mood of the king, and he could only make up his mind secretly at the moment.

Su Hu walked out of the palace and returned to the post pavilion, and the generals received and condoled: "Your Majesty summoned the general to the court, what is there to discuss?"

Su Hu was furious when he heard this, and scolded: "That unreasonable and faint monarch does not think about the virtues of his ancestors, but he favors the flattery of the ministers, and wants to choose my daughter to enter the palace as a concubine." This must be Fei Zhong and You Yun confusing the monarch's heart with wine and wanting to dictate the government. I want to hear that the Taishi expedition, the two thieves take power, and when I see that the faint king will be desolate and drunk, disorder the government and government, the world is desolate, the people of Li are hanging upside down, and the poor soup society has come to naught. I thought to myself: If I don't pay tribute to this woman, the faint king will ask the guilty teacher, and if I want to send this woman into the palace, the faint king will lose his virtue in the future, and the people of the world will laugh at me for being unwise. Do you have a good plan to teach me?"

When the generals heard this, they all said: "When we hear that 'the king is not right, the minister will vote to foreign countries', and now the lord is light and virtuous, and he sees the chaos, if he reverses the song of the dynasty and defends a country, he can protect the sect and the family." At this time, Su Hu was in a rage, and when he heard this, he didn't realize it, and he didn't even think about it, so he said: "The husband should do things clearly." ”

At the moment, he drank the order: "Take the four treasures of the study, and inscribe poems on the wall of the noon gate, in order to express my intention of never going to business." The poem says: The monarch is bad and the ministers are outlined, and there are five permanent defeats. Jizhou Su Hu, never go to business!"

Su Hu wrote an anti-poem, led the generals out of the court, and went to Jizhou. That Fei Zhong and You Yun felt that there was something wrong with Su Hu from the palace, and after leaving the palace, they sent people to secretly monitor, and when they saw what Su Hu did, they didn't dare to slack off, and immediately entered the palace to play in the king. When the king heard this, he was furious and said: "The traitor An dares to deceive me like this, Xuan Yin is ruined, Chao Tian, Lu Xiong, etc., and he commands the six divisions, and I should be a personal expedition and slash this thief!"

After a while, Lu Xiong and others met with them, and the king told them about Su Hu's inscription poem against the court song, Lu Xiong listened, bowed his head and thought: "Su Hu is a loyal and good man, Su Huai is loyal, I don't know why I touched the Son of Heaven, Your Majesty actually wants to conquer yourself, Jizhou is resting!" Lu Xiong stepped forward and said: "Su Hu offended Your Majesty, why do you drive the expedition yourself." Moreover, the princes of the four major towns are all in the capital and have not yet returned to the country, so His Majesty can order one or two ways to conquer and protect the Su, correct their crimes, and not lose the prestige of the attack. Why bother to drive far away. ”

The king asked, "Who can conquer within the four marquis?"

Fei Zhong played: "Jizhou is a subordinate of the Northern Bohou Chonghou Hu, and he can order the Northern Bohou to conquer. ”

When Lu Xiong heard this, he thought: "Chonghou Hu is tyrannical, and if he raises troops for an expedition, he will be brutalized in the places he passes, and Li Shu will not be at peace." See Xibo Jichang, benevolence and virtue, and faithfulness. Why don't you take this person up, and you can do it all. As soon as the king was about to pass the decree, Lu Xiong stepped forward and said: "Although the northern prince is in the north, the letter has not yet been given to the people, I am afraid that this trip will not be able to promote the great king's virtue; When the king heard this, he immediately ordered the Northern Bohou Chonghou Hu and the Xibohou Jichang to jointly send troops to attack Jizhou.

After Beibohou Chonghou Hu received the order, he reorganized his men and horses and returned to the north. Xibohou Jichang received the will, but he was thinking: Su Hu is loyal and righteous, has military merits, and has a poem on the noon gate, there must be a hidden secret. At the moment, I secretly investigated and didn't mention it.

Let's say that Su Hu left Chaoge, and all the generals returned to Jizhou in one day, and Su Quanzhong, the eldest son of Su Hu, came to greet him. When everyone returned to the Hou Mansion, Su Hu said what the king had done, and everyone was furious at the moment, so they prepared for war.
