Chapter 55: Fei Zhongyou Hun Solicits Bribes
After listening to the words of the royal nobleman, Daji came back to her senses from her contemplation.
After sorting out his mood, Daji took Hu Ximei and Wang Guiren and flew towards the city where the human race gathered.
"Sister, where do you say we're going?" Wang Guiren looked left and right along the way, curious about everything about the human race around him.
"I heard that Chaoge, the capital of the human race, is the most prosperous, why don't we go there and have a look!" Daji said, as for what he went to see in Chaoge, even Daji himself didn't know.
On this day, there were three mysterious women walking on the lively street of Chaoge. The three women were dressed in white, red and blue, and their faces were covered with light veils.
But even if you can't see your face, just look at the graceful figure, you know that these are three extremely beautiful women.
Many men looked at it twice, and they were all red-faced, and they were very ashamed of themselves.
If it was before, maybe some aristocratic lords came out to rob the people's daughters, and they might even find some reason to turn these three women into slaves.
But now, thanks to the introduction of the new law of the emperor, slavery was abolished, and the law was slowly improving in the direction of fairness.
There is less and less inclination towards the nobility in the law, and the resulting dissatisfaction of the nobility is aroused. But no one dared to make any moves.
You must know that Di Xin's prestige in the army is extremely high, and now the army stationed in Chaoge is all Di Xin's descendants, and the army is basically all civilians, and Di Xin's prestige is definitely guaranteed by a strong military power.
Seeing so many people watching his three demons along the way, Daji was complaining in his heart about the idea that Wang Guiren must walk on the streets.
Immediately, Daji thought about it. Later, if any of the unsightly princes and nobles come out to tease their three sisters, it will be a big deal to teach him a lesson, and the three sisters will fly away directly.
Who knows, in the end, I didn't see any princes and nobles come out, which made Daji have some doubts.
Daji knows that the nobles in this world are very arrogant and domineering, their ** is inflated, endless, as long as they see beautiful things, they must take them for themselves.
The majority of the country's laborers were used to feed the non-working nobles, who then exercised power over the commoners.
After walking for a while, she saw a restaurant in front of her, so she took her two younger sisters into the restaurant and asked for a cubicle, where she sat quietly and ate the food brought by the store.
"Sister, this Terran dish is not bad!" Wang Guiren praised while eating there.
Daji ignored her, just quietly listened to the conversations of the other people in the restaurant, and slowly Daji knew from these conversations that these changes were brought about by Di Xin's new law.
Hu Ximei, who was on the side, gently picked up a chopstick dish and put it on Daji's plate, and said softly: "Sister, you eat vegetables." ”
"You've also heard everyone's comments on Di Xin, do you think that if we confuse such a human emperor, we will have good results in the future?" Daji's eyes were a little confused.
"Sister, otherwise, let's go back to Xuanyuan's grave!" Hu Ximei heard Daji say this, and wanted to go home.
"Silly girl, we have promised Nuwa Niangniang, if we don't do it, I'm afraid that it won't end well now!" Daji touched Hu Ximei's hair lovingly.
At the same time, I secretly decided in my heart that I could only do this matter by myself, and the second and third sisters would let them go back to Xuanyuan's grave!
"Hey!" Daji sighed softly, stopped talking, and ate in silence.
Hu Ximei also didn't say a word there, only Wang Guiren praised this dish as he ate it.
The night was as cool as water, and the moonlight flowed slowly on the steps. In this majestic and majestic palace, the rows of guards are tall, and although the armor on their bodies is cold, there is no trace of complaint in the eyes of these guards, and some are only resolute.
The side door of the palace opened softly, and the sound of the doorway turning in the silence of the night could be heard far away.
A man dressed in the garb of the Emperor's chamberlain stood quietly inside the side door.
At this time, two figures walked in from outside the door, one short and fat, the other tall and thin.
The attendant turned sideways, and the light on the lantern in his hand shone on the faces of the two people, but these two were Di Xin's favorite ministers, Fei Zhong and You Hun.
"Lord Fei, Lord You, Your Majesty has been waiting for the two of you for more than a long time!" the attendant waited until Fei Zhong and You Hun came to him, and saluted.
"Please lead the way!" Fei Zhong and You Hun replied with a fist clasped together.
The attendant led the way, and Fei Zhong and You Hun followed behind towards a remote palace.
When he entered the palace, he saw that the lights were bright, and Di Xin sat behind the table, looking at the two people who came in with bright eyes.
As soon as Fei Zhong and You Hun saw Di Xin, they hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said, "Minister Fei Zhong (You Hun) see Your Majesty!"
"You two, you're still doing this with me!Get up!" Dixin smiled.
"Hehe, Your Majesty, this is not a formality between the two of us, but we truly respect Your Majesty!" Fei Zhong replied with a grin.
Fei Zhong knew that under Di Xin's smiling mask was a cold imperial ambition, but Fei Zhong still smiled and talked to Di Xin, because he knew what to do as a close minister.
"You, learn hard from Youhun, don't be flamboyant all day long!" Di Xin scolded with a smile at Fei Zhong.
"Hehe, Lao You is just too boring!How can I be good, I will be amused!" Fei Zhong didn't care about Di Xin's laughter and scolding.
"Starling is amused more than you!" You Hun just said this sentence sullenly, Fei Zhong seemed to be stuck in the neck, and his laughter broke all of a sudden.
When Di Xin heard this, he laughed out loud.
After some talking and laughing, Di Xin regained his seriousness and said to Fei Zhong and You Hun: "In a few days, it will be time for the princes of the world to come to the pilgrimage and meet him!"
Fei Zhong stopped joking at this time, and reported to Di Xin: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, Lao You and I have already sent a message to those princes, if you don't give gifts this time, they won't be able to see Your Majesty!"
When Di Xin heard this, he sighed softly: "Fei Zhong, You Hun, you two have worked hard! In order to prepare for military expenses, you two actually asked the two of you to receive gifts, and I am afraid that the reputation of the two of you will be completely stinky this time." ”
"Your Majesty, under this whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. They should have paid more tribute to His Majesty. Let's just take some back for Your Majesty first!" Fei Zhong's voice was moved, Di Xin promoted him to the wilderness, and he trusted him, and he was dead set on Di Xin.
"These princes should be killed!" You Hun, who had not spoken for a long time, said another sentence at this time.
Listening to You Hun's words, Di Xin smiled, pointed at You Hun and nodded: "You!
Fei Zhong also looked at You Hun dumbfounded, gave a thumbs up and said, "You are amazing!"
"Alright, you go back and prepare! Don't make a mistake in a few days!" Di Xin waved his hand and said to You Hun and Fei Zhong.
"Even if you are trying your best, you must also be loyal to Your Majesty!" Fei Zhong said with a serious face on Di Xin.
"I don't want your fat body, you better give some of your fat to You Hun!" Di Xin also joked with a smile.
Fei Zhong often showed his loyalty in this way, and every time Di Xin made fun of him in this way.
A few days later, the small princes of the eight hundred towns in the world, led by the four princes, entered the court song. These large and small princes all received messages from Fei Zhong and You Hun.
This time, the princes of each of the eight hundred towns, all of them brought various gifts and prepared to give them to Fei Zhong Youhun.
These princes are like this, if Di Xin wants them to pay tribute, they will definitely cry poor in every town, but the favored ministers Fei Zhong and You Hun who gave it to Di Xin are willing to do so.
Because it is impossible for Emperor Xin to really punish those princes because of tribute, that will cause panic among the princes of various towns, which is not conducive to rule.
However, Fei Zhong and You Hun may find various reasons to persecute them because these people do not give them gifts.
And other princes will also like to hear it, who let you not give gifts.
Therefore, all of a sudden, Fei Zhong and You Hun's mansion was full of traffic, with people coming and going, and there was an endless stream.
Fei Zhong greeted him with a smile every day, but every prince who came to give gifts saw Fei Zhong's smiling face and wanted to step on his smiling face.
Even You Hun's expressionless face has softened its lines in the past few days.
It's just that, after all, there are some princes who are unwilling to give gifts, but these princes don't dare to act rashly, and Jiang Hengchu, the marquis of Dongbo, naturally became the touchstone for these people.
At this time, Jiang Hengchu took his guards and entered Fei Zhong's mansion on a rampage.
Fei Zhong was standing at the gate of the inner mansion at this time, and had just sent away a prince who had come to give gifts. I saw Jiang Hengchu rushing towards his mansion with a large group of guards.
Jiang Hengchu's guards separated the many families in Fei Zhong's Mansion, and Jiang Hengchu walked towards Fei Zhong unhurriedly.
Fei Zhong saw Jiang Hengchu from afar and complained in his heart, His Majesty has always had a very good relationship with this Queen Jiang, but he can't afford to offend the person in front of him.
With a smile on his face, Fei Zhong bowed his hand and said, "It turned out to be Lord Guozhang, I don't know what is the important matter of the villain's mansion today?"
"Hmph, don't be hippie with me. Fei Zhong, I heard that you are blatantly accepting bribes here, is this true?" Jiang Hengchu stared at Fei Zhong and said.
"Oh, Lord Guozhang, who are you listening to? Isn't this slandering me! These princes came to my mansion because they had some friendship with me, and they exchanged normal courtesies, and I dared to accept bribes in public!" Fei Zhong hurriedly wrinkled his face and shouted there.
"Don't pretend in front of me! This matter was told to me by Xibohou Jichang himself, you still want to deny it?" Jiang Hengchu didn't believe Fei Zhong.
"Yes, Dong Bohou, this Fei Zhong is here to accept bribes in public, you must show it to Your Majesty!" At this time, a small prince jumped out and said.
Fei Zhong had no smile on his face at this time, and his small eyes flashed cold light from time to time, staring at the little prince tightly.
