Du Taishi bluntly admonished for the foundation of the Great Shang, but who knew that Yin Shou had already been dizzy by Daji, and put Du Taishi to death, the loyal minister of the Great Shang was summoned by the god list after his death, and became the first person in the god list.

In the morning of the next day, the news of Du Taishi's execution was heard by the ministers, Shang Rong personally went to Lutai to invite Yin Shou out, and the ministers on the main hall asked Du Taishi about it, Yin Shou was blunt, saying that Du Yuan was executed because he slandered Daji as a demon. The hearts of the ministers were cold when they heard this, they had worked hard all their lives for the big business, and in the end they were not as good as a demon girl.

"What a faint king, actually listened to the words of a woman, executed Du Yuan, completely lost the righteousness of being a king, you killed not Du Yuan, but the foundation of my great business, my great business for six hundred years, and now it will be destroyed in your hands. Hearing the Northern Expedition of the Taishi, there is no way in the court, the faint king listens to the words of the ministers, builds a deer platform, works the people and loses money, and Daji is in it at night, there is no excess of silver, what face do you have to go to see the first emperor on the road to Huangquan!"

Yin Shou was puzzled: "What's the matter with the beauty?"

Daji smiled and said: "King Qiyu, this person stands on top of this hall as a courtier, but he opens his eyebrows and crosses his eyes, slanders the king, and has no way of being a minister, it is really chaotic and abnormal, and it is difficult to forgive his sin if he dies. ”

Yin Shou asked, "The Lone King listens. ”

Daji said: "This law is a punishment, the punishment is about two zhang high, the garden is eight feet, the upper middle and the lower are made of fire, and the copper is cast into a copper pillar, and the fire is burned inside, and then this gossip confuses the public, insults the king, does not obey the law, and has nothing to do with the person who plays the chapter, strips off the official uniform, traps the body with an iron rope, binds it to the copper pillar, and burns its limbs with the charcoal in the copper, and only needs a cup of tea, it can be burned to ashes, this punishment is called cannon branding, and then there are gossips to confuse the public, sell fame and reputation, and dereliction of duty, all of which are dealt with by this law. ”

After Shang Tang overthrew Xia Ji, he thought that this punishment was too hurtful to Tiande, so he ordered someone to destroy it, but he didn't expect it to be mentioned by Da Ji today, and it was still used on the courtiers of the Great Shang, Shang Rong and Huang Feihu and other loyal ministers tried every means to dissuade them, but it was useless. The kung fu cannon was not said, Yin Shou asked the ministers to watch the punishment with him, Wenwu saw Mei Bai's hair scattered, and he was escorted by the guards to the copper pillar in plain clothes, Yin Shou smiled and said: "Pifu, do you know what this is?"

Mabel laughed: "It's the tombstone of your faint king!"

Yin Shou was furious, ordered someone to strip off Mei Bai's shirt, tied his hands and feet with iron ropes naked, hugged the copper pillar, injected red charcoal into the copper pillar, the yellow copper pillar began to turn red, Mei Bai's flesh and blood were slowly baked by the copper pillar, scarred on the copper pillar, and it stinked for a while, Mei Bai scolded: "Yin Shou has no virtue, I want to live with the scholar, today I am said to be branded by you and the ministers, I am not sorry to die! Then he screamed, but he died of exhaustion, Yin Shou looked at the scene coldly and did not say a word, only to see that after a short time, Mei Bai's corpse was burned into a charred skeleton by the copper pillar.

It is said that when Yin Shou burned Mei Bai to death, Prime Minister Shang Rong saw that he was so mediocre, he was disheartened, and did not say that he would return to his hometown, Yin Shou hesitated for a while, and finally sighed: "The old prime minister is already a rare age, but he is very tired of the affairs of the dynasty, my heart is very unbearable, and now Aiqing put forward the wish to return to his hometown, how can the lonely king not be eternal?"

After bidding farewell to the hundred officials, Shang Rong went to the long pavilion, only to see Huang Feihu, Bigan, Weizi, Weiziqi, Qizi, Weiziyan and other six princes waiting for him, Shang Rong dismounted and wanted to do the gift of the commoners, and Bigan held him up with one hand: "The old prime minister is the patriarch of the great business, and now he is really congratulated on returning to his hometown, but why did he choose this time, now the king is mediocre, Yin Shang is crumbling, why is the old prime minister so ruthless and abandons my big business?"

Shang Rong sat on the ground and cried bitterly, tears raining down: "Princes, Yin Shang's great kindness to me, Shang Rong is difficult to repay even if he is broken bones, why not regret this death? Shang Rong is an old minister of the third generation of Yin Shou, although he does not want to see the collapse of the big business, but I still do not want to see the people make a living. Goodbye, everyone. ”

After Huang Feihu and Shang Rong said goodbye, they returned to Chaoge City, only to see hundreds of officials gathered outside the door but did not disperse, and when they saw the return of the six princes, they stepped forward and said: "Your Royal Highness, now the king listens to Daji's words, creates the punishment of cannon branding, and kills Zhongliang, and Wen Taishi has been on the northern expedition for ten years, and now the old prime minister has also returned to his hometown, no one can dissuade the king, and in the long run, what can I do!"

Huang Feihu frowned when he heard this: "Today's king is no longer the Yin Shou who charged into battle when he attacked Dongyi, the cannon is not the minister, but the big merchant Jiangshan, and the cannon is Chengtang Sheji." Gu Yun said well: 'The king regards the minister as a sibling, the minister regards the king as the heart, the king regards the minister as the mustard, and the minister regards the king as an enemy. 'Now the Lord does not practice benevolence, but adds a doctor to non-punishment, and in a few years there will be trouble. ”

When the hundred officials heard this, they all sighed, and at this time Bigan stood up: "As a prince, I must not see the great merchant fall like this, I will go to see the king now, I want to see if he is still the descendant of my Shang Tang!"

After Bigan finished speaking, he was about to get on the horse and leave, but Huang Feihu held him down, he knew his classmate and friend very well, and Bigan's identity was his uncle, if he broke into the palace and trained at this time, there would definitely be no good result: "The prince is the emperor's uncle, if he reprimands the king, I'm afraid it may be counterproductive, and this matter will be handed over to me Huang Feihu! I also want to see if he recognizes me as a brother!"
