Chapter 174: Ji Chang's Wisdom
Originally, it was about meritorious deeds, although some of the people present did not have any military exploits, but Yin Shou still gave a small reward, this atmosphere was originally very good, but when it came to Xibohou, Yin Shou's attitude was a 360-degree rotation, and if there was no reward, it would be okay, and Ji Chang would be executed, and the minds of the ministers could not turn for a while.
The ministers stayed there, it didn't mean that the guards above the hall also stayed, they didn't have as many fancy intestines as the ministers, and they only obeyed Yin Shou's orders. The guards set up Ji Chang and walked out of the hall, but Ji Chang had a calm face, as if he was looking at life and death, in fact, he knew that if he was to distinguish at this time, he would lose the opportunity.
Seeing that the guards were about to pull Ji Chang out of the palace, Shang Rong couldn't stand still, he stepped forward quickly, stopped the guards, and then turned to Yin Shou and said: "King, Xibohou has always had the name of a sage, and he has a lot of prestige among the people, this time there is no merit and hard work in pacifying Jizhou, why did the king want to execute Ji Chang? Isn't this a matter of giving the people of the world a handle? Even if Ji Chang is to be executed, the old minister dared to ask the king, Ji Chang has violated the law of the Great Shang, and it is worth the king's anger?"
Yin Shou sneered: "The old prime minister was deceived by this thief, but this is not to blame the prime minister, this thief has been hiding the world for too long, if it weren't for this incident in Jizhou, even Gu would still be in the dark." ”
Yin Shou's words made the ministers begin to twitch, they didn't know what Yin Shou was referring to, at this time Ji Chang's eyes flashed a trace of panic, but then it turned into anger, he pushed away the two guards who were holding him with both hands, got up and looked at Yin Shou angrily, and said coldly: "What does the king mean by this? I, Ji Chang, inherited the position of Xibohou by the grace of the previous king, and have been conscientious for many years, and I dare not slack off." This time, the pacification of Jizhou is even more to send troops to contribute, the king rewarded King Wucheng and other meritorious ministers, but he went to the old minister alone, this old minister can also be regarded as not seeing, but the king is going to do the thing of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, the old minister is stupid, I don't know what is wrong, I hope the king will guide the old man!"
What a Ji Chang, Yin Shou didn't expect him to dare to talk to himself like this, this preemptive move made Yin Shou completely messed up, and Ji Chang's remarks were full of grief and indignation, it was simply sad for the hearer, and tears for the listener, especially in the last sentence, Ji Chang directly called himself an old man, as if he was angry with Yin Shou. The ministers thought about Ji Chang's usual behavior, and indeed did not find anything inappropriate, so the ministers inevitably began to favor Ji Chang in their hearts.
Although Yin Shou didn't know that there was a preconceived idea, but looking at the noisy ministers below, he also knew that something was wrong, he smiled and said: "What a loyal old minister! Let me ask you! When I ordered you to attack Jizhou, why didn't you send troops in Xiqi, and after the defeat of Chonghou Hu's army, you actually only sent a scholar who was powerless, and finally Chonghei Hu and Chonghou Hu were defeated together, and you led the army to the expedition?"
Ji Chang heard Yin Shou talk about Jizhou's sending troops, Zou frowned, originally he saw Yin Shou fighting Jizhou for a woman, and thought that Yin Shou was extremely mediocre, but he didn't expect that his immobility attracted Yin Shou's attention, and it seems that it is not time yet.
Seeing that Ji Chang didn't answer, Yin Shou snorted coldly and said, "If you don't answer, then Gu will answer on your behalf! You want to take advantage of Yin Shang's war with Jizhou, so that Xiqi can benefit from the fishermen on the side." Your Xibohou has an extraordinary reputation among the people, Xiqi is second only to my Chaoge under your governance, and there are many generals under your command, and when Dashang and Xiqi are defeated, you can do what Su Hu did at the beginning, is Xibohou Guwang right?"
The matter of Jizhou is indeed a little tricky for Ji Chang, even if he has no objection, but just holding the soldiers is enough to betray him, it is obvious that Yin Shou will not let him go easily, what he can do is to let the ministers stand on his side, so good as Yin Shou, but the chips are still a little small.
Ji Chang took off his crown and put it on the ground, and said with tears in his eyes: "At the beginning, the king used a soldier for a woman, and I Ji Chang couldn't bear to be ruined, so I sent Sanyi to persuade Su Hu, but I didn't expect Su Hu to go his own way, I can only send troops to rebel, if the king thinks that I Ji Chang has the opposite intentions, then I don't work the king, I Ji Chang will crash into this hall today, to show my Ji Chang's innocence!" After speaking, Ji Chang hit the nearest pillar.
"Bump!", blood came out of Ji Chang's head, and he fell down, and a lot of blood splashed on Yin Shou's face, but Ji Chang's hand was something that everyone never expected. The ministers immediately fried the pot, Shang Rong immediately walked to Ji Chang's side, probed, and found that Ji Chang was not dead, and hurriedly said: "King! Ji Chang is very anti-minded and doesn't mention it for the time being, even if he has anti-intentions, then the king should also make a decision after verifying it, and now Ji Chang is determined to die, even if the king doesn't believe it, then he should be sent to the imperial doctor to cure it first, and then try it." ”
The ministers also spoke, meaning the same as Shang Rong, that is, to save Ji Chang first, even Fei Zhong and You Hun are the same, they have received a lot of gifts from Ji Chang!
Yin Shou was attacked by the ministers, a murderous aura appeared between his eyebrows, and his eyes were red staring at the ministers, Ji Chang's matter was critical, and the ministers would not let Yin Shou make a decision alone, they spoke again, or that meaning, to save Ji Chang first.
After the confrontation between the monarch and the ministers for a while, Yin Shou snorted coldly and said: "Just according to what Zhongqing said! Let Ji Chang Lao'er live for a while and pass on the imperial doctor!" After finishing speaking, he brushed his sleeves away, and the ministers wiped the cold sweat on their heads, Yin Shou's murderous aura is not a joke, there are really few of them who have fought except for the generals, and it is not easy to hold on for such a while under Yin Shou's murderous aura.
The imperial doctor finally arrived in front of Ji Chang in the actions of the ministers chasing ducks, and after checking it for a while, he said: "Xibohou just suffered a little skin injury, but after all, he is old, and he injured his head this time, but he has to cultivate for a while. The ministers relieved themselves this time and dispersed the court meeting.
Huang Feihu saw that Ji Chang was fine, and was about to leave the hall, when Shang Rong caught up with him and panted: "General stay!"
Seeing that it was Shang Rong, Huang Feihu said respectfully: "What's the matter with the old prime minister?"
Shang Rong looked around and found that no one noticed here, and finally said in a low voice: "King Wucheng, you and Ji Chang have also been in contact for a while, let me ask you, does Ji Chang really have any objections?"
