Generally speaking, only the royal family or those who have made special contributions can be crowned princes. Except for the tribute to be paid and the tribute to be paid, the princes have no restrictions on their actions in ordinary times, so it can be said that they are the emperor of one side.

What's even more tempting is that the emperor is still hereditary, and it can be continued by his children and grandchildren. Not to mention that Fei Zhong is very favored by the Son of Heaven at the moment, just according to the existing laws of Dashang, as long as he complies with the requirements of the new policy and makes some political achievements, he can almost have the right to own land for several generations and benefit his descendants. Even if he fails to become the Northern Bohou in the end, he is still a hero.

Since the Son of Heaven gradually favored Daji and abandoned the government, many people felt sorry and sighed for the "depravity and mediocrity" of the Son of Heaven, but Fei Zhong knew better than any minister the power of the Son of Heaven. This time, Su Hu and Chonghou Hu were named Dingbei Hou, not because of Daji, the queen, and even said that Daji, who has always confused the Son of Heaven, is actually under the control of the Son of Heaven. What frightened the fat man even more was that the Son of Heaven intentionally or unintentionally revealed some secrets to him, and as for why the Son of Heaven did this, the fat man didn't dare to ask, nor did he dare to guess.

The fat man knows the many secrets of the Son of Heaven, and it is difficult to survive, so he can only do his best to be loyal, and make political achievements to show his value in order to save his life. Therefore, Fei Zhong has indeed done a good job since he became the prime minister, and even his greed has been greatly restrained, so that Mei Bo and others, who originally despised him for the reason of "being a courtier", have nothing to say.

Now that I am going to the Northland, I am afraid that there are still many dangers, and there is even the possibility of being killed by the Son of Heaven because of this, where can the fat man be happy?

As soon as the ministers heard that the Son of Heaven had rewarded him like this, they all showed envy, but Fei Zhong trembled, and knelt down with a pop, even saying that he was immoral and incompetent, and would never dare to accept this gift, and asked the Son of Heaven to take back his fate.

Zhang Zixing said with a pleasant face: "Fei Qing has always been loyal and resourceful. Since he became the prime minister, he has made many achievements and won the trust of the widows, so who else can you be the one who is 'respectful and reliable'? ”

Fei Zhong didn't expect to lift a stone and hit his own feet, so he immediately broke out in a cold sweat, secretly scolded himself for talking too much, and hurriedly kowtowed, just excused. When the ministers saw that the fat man was cheap and behaved, they despised his pretentiousness in their hearts, but they didn't know that Fei Zhong was really afraid.

Zhang Zixing frowned and said, "Fei Qing pushed back like this, didn't he want to share the worries of the widow?"

Fei Zhong looked up and caught a glimpse of the murderous intent flashing in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, and immediately shuddered, so he had to shout long live with a bitter face, and thanked him for agreeing.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the holy decree of the Marquis of Dingbei was immediately transmitted to the Anle Marquis's Mansion. The abbot Su Hu was overjoyed to accept the decree and thanked the officials who issued the decree.

After sending off the edict official, Su Hu took his son Su Quanzhong to the study with a happy face. In the study, there was a middle-aged Taoist with a slender figure and a withered face.

Su Hu saluted to the Taoist and said: "The teacher is indeed a god! I just said that I will have great good news, and now it has come true! The Son of Heaven appointed me as the Marquis of Zuoding Bei, allocated 30,000 soldiers and horses, and chose to go to the north to guard it. If there is a special merit within three years, you can also be named the Northern Bohou. ”

The Taoist bowed slightly, and said: "The virtuous marquis doesn't need to be polite, your luck has been exhausted, otherwise you will come to Jitai, and now you have this great joy, which is also your own blessing." ”

Su Hu shook his head and said, "Why should the teacher be too humble? If it weren't for the teacher instructing me to change the feng shui in the house, drive away the evil, and get angry, how would I have the luck I have today?"

Su Quanzhong also said: "Since the help of the teacher a month ago, after getting rid of the evil in the house, I have really been lucky and everything is going well." The set of immortal recipes passed on by the teacher has also achieved great results, and now I only feel that my body is as light as a swallow, and my strength is doubled, which is very different from the ordinary body in the past. ”

The Taoist smiled: "The general is extraordinary, and he has a small success so quickly, which should be congratulated." Now that the Xianhou family has turned their fortunes, it is time for the poor road to leave. ”

When Su Hu heard this, his face was surprised: "Could it be that the teacher thinks that I am not well entertained, why do you want to leave?"

"The virtuous marquis is serious, the poor road is a person outside the party, in the house troubled for a long time, it is already a warm and difficult to but, now the virtuous marquis has a heavy responsibility, is about to go to the north, the poor road should say goodbye. ”

Su Hu thought that the incident in Jizhou back then was because of the lack of such a well-informed and intelligent strange person under his command, and even became a bird, rashly started an incident, and as a result, his reputation was ruined. If this person is given to him today, how can he miss it?

"The teacher didn't think I was down, and helped me in times of danger, but now that I have improved a little and haven't repaid me, how can I let the teacher leave? Besides, I need a strange person like the teacher to guide me in the maze, please don't leave me!"

The Taoist just excused himself, Su Quanzhong got Su Hu's eyes, immediately understood, bowed to the ground, and asked the Taoist to accept him as an apprentice. The Taoist hesitated again and again, but he couldn't push back the two of them, so he had to agree. Su Hu was overjoyed, and immediately ordered Su Quanzhong to perform a great ceremony to worship the teacher, and instructed his subordinates to pay a banquet to entertain the Taoist.

Unlike Su Hu, who was in a good mood, after Fei Zhong was named the Marquis of Beibei, his mind was full of anxiety, and he tossed and turned on the bed that night, but he didn't sleep all night. As soon as the fat man finally gritted his teeth, the genius Meng Mengliang went to the palace to ask for a meeting with the Son of Heaven, and he was successfully received.

Fei Zhong saw the Son of Heaven in the imperial study, and to his surprise, there was another acquaintance in the imperial study, who was said to be angry with the Son of Heaven, cut off an arm, and ordered to leave the court within the specified time.

When Yang Yi saw Fei Zhong, he couldn't help but show surprise, but seeing that the Son of Heaven didn't seem to shy away from Fei Zhong, he didn't ask too much, kowtowed three times, and retreated.

Seeing Yang Ren here, Fei Zhong knew something was wrong, and when he caught a glimpse of the profound eyes of the Son of Heaven, where did he dare to ask more, and immediately knelt on the ground: "Please spare Your Majesty's life!"

Zhang Zixing looked at Fei Zhongtong's pair of panda eyes, and said with a smile: "Where did Fei Qing's words come from?"

Fei Zhong hurriedly said: "Please Your Majesty take back the title of the Marquis of Dingbei, the subordinates are incompetent, and they dare not ask to be any princes, they just want to be by Your Majesty's side to serve their lives!"

Zhang Zixing shook his head and said: "Fei Qing has not forgotten the promise of the widow back then? The widow once promised you, a very popular minister, and gave it to the princes." Now that you have become the prime minister, and you have been given the holy favor, you have been named the Marquis of the North, and if you have special merits in three years, you can become the lord of the Northland. Isn't this just the fulfillment of the promise made back then? Why do you want to shirk like this? What do you mean?"

Fei Zhong suddenly remembered that after he failed to frame Shang Rong, the Son of Heaven was encouraged, and gave him a promise of the "Four Great Princes", and now it seems that this is indeed the case, could it be ...... The more Fei Zhong thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up: "How can the thoughts of the subordinates be hidden from someone like Your Majesty?"

Zhang Zixing remained silent and asked, "Fei Qing also understands people, but I don't know how much he understands the mind of the widow?"

Fei Zhong keenly heard the meaning of the words of the Son of Heaven, and his heart suddenly beat violently, and he kowtowed: "Your Majesty should die! How dare Your Majesty speculate about Your Majesty's holy will? It's just that although Your Majesty is stupid, you also know that if you go to the Northland, you will die nine deaths, and you ask Your Majesty to spare Your Majesty's life!"

"You're a man of understanding. Zhang Zixing said lightly: "Then you should know that the widow will never make such a decision out of thin air, and you must go to this trip to the Northland!"

Fei Zhong is a smart man, and he heard from the tone of the Son of Heaven that this matter was imperative, and he could not refuse, and he did not dare to ask him to take back his life, but just said in a wailing voice: "Please Your Majesty point out the way for your subordinates to live!"

Zhang Zixing also appreciated the fat man's opportunity, and took out a pill: "This is the Broken Intestine Pill, if there is no antidote for widows, even immortals can't be cured." You can take the widow every quarter to send someone to send an antidote to suppress the poisonous surname, and if you do what the widow commands, the widow will remove the poison for you. If you are rebellious or slack, you will die when the flesh and blood of your body burst. ”

Fei Zhong knew the way of his subordinates, and understood that the less hesitant he was, the less suspicious the Son of Heaven would be, so he did not hesitate at the moment. The fat man took a few steps forward at the moment, took the pill with both hands, and swallowed it in one gulp, but he was relieved in his heart: it seems that the Son of Heaven did not mean to extinguish his mouth, but had another important responsibility.

As for the poison, Fei Zhong believed that compared to the previous daily reminders, it was better to have a reassuring result, and he didn't have a rebellious heart, so he didn't worry about it for the time being. Sure enough, Zhang Zixing nodded with satisfaction and said his plan, Rao is fat man had already been mentally prepared, and his eyes couldn't help showing horror.

The holy decree was transmitted to Caozhou, and Chongheihu was originally worried that betraying his brother would cause the Son of Heaven to condemn him, but he did not expect such a reward. It seems that Wen Taishi said that the "reward for his own reward when he was young" on the holy decree was not a reassuring word, but it was true, and he heard that he had the opportunity to become the Northern Bohou who had been coveted for many years, Chonghou Hu couldn't help but be surprised and happy.

The three marquis of the north were determined, and the original territory of Chonghou Hu was divided into three parts, of which the area of Chongcheng was owned by the national abbot Su Hu, and the territory of Chonghei Hu included the original Caozhou and part of the area close to Caozhou, and the rest of the northern Xinjiang area was divided to Fei Zhong.

Counting up, among the three Dingbei marquis, Su Hu is the abbot of the country, and his daughter Da is the queen, the mother of the world, and the favor of the Son of Heaven, so the holy family is the strongest. Su Hu originally committed the rebellion of destroying the nine clans, and relied on his daughter's beauty to dedicate himself to the Son of Heaven to save his life. Su Hu originally had the experience of being the Marquis of Jizhou, and now according to the core Chongcheng in the north, there is a daughter in the middle of the court, which is the biggest advantage.

Chonghei Tiger knows the princes of the Northland well, has a group of his own cronies and neighbors, and has also run Caozhou for many years, with a good reputation, not only strong soldiers, but also has a strange skill, is currently the strongest of the three marquis.

Only Fei Zhong was born as a courtier, known as a corrupt and loving money, although he also made achievements as a deputy minister, but he had no experience in governing the territory, and was the weakest link among the three marquis. This time, Fei Zhong made a meritorious contribution and was blessed with the position of princes by heaven, although it is a great honor, but the land in the northern frontier where it is located is much more desolate than the rest of the place, and it is a place of war, there are ghosts to haunt them, even the military gods like Wen Taishi were almost defeated by the hands of the ghost tribe, which shows the strength of the enemy. Since Northern Xinjiang has become Fei Zhong's territory, then the heavy responsibility of assisting in the rebellion and providing military rations falls on Fei Zhong's shoulders, Fei Zhong has no experience in leading troops, and has no experience in governance, and the only thing worthy of "praise" may only be the means of collecting wealth and squeezing.

Because Fang Wei and Fei Zhong fought in the north and were crowned princes, the Son of Heaven newly crowned two prime ministers: the famous imperial uncle Jizi was the left minister, and the former doctor Mei Bo was named the right minister, and the military and political affairs were still in charge of Jiang Wenhuan due to the absence of Wen Taishi. In comparison, the reputation and talent of the two new prime ministers are much better than the original Fang Wei and Fei Zhongliang, so the ministers have no objections, and this handover of the old and the new has not caused any waves.

Time passed day by day, and due to the complete materials, the test of the Dharma precept made progress from time to time, and Zhang Zixing also restrained his mind to go out and seriously participated in the study of the Dharma precept. At the same time, the research and development of the super soldier system in the super brain in the base for several years has also reached the final moment, and once it is successful, it can greatly increase the combat effectiveness of Zhang Zixing's secret troops.

In the Chaoge Palace, Daji was restless, although she had Zhang Zixing to interpret the dream last time, but recalling the real scene in the "dream", she was always suspicious. This time, Daji deliberately came to the Star Picking Tower and followed the route in her memory.

After turning a few doors, a quiet room appeared, and Daji remembered that in the "dream", the girl turned a large vase next to the desk, and an entrance appeared on the wall, and after the entrance hallway, the metal door was opened, and it was the crystal house that could descend into the mysterious underground world.

However, the furnishings in this ashram were completely different from what I remembered, there was a vase, but it was placed on the table, and it was easy to pick up, and there was no mechanism. The opposite wall was also seamless, and Daji had been groping for a long time, but she didn't find anything unusual.

Just as Daji left the room disappointed, suddenly the figure of the Son of Heaven appeared in front of her, and she was immediately startled.

"Zitong, why are you here?" The Son of Heaven showed a look of surprise: "The few people went to the Shouxian Palace to invite you to the Star Picking Tower to watch the dance, only to know that Zitong had come on his own, but he couldn't find it, and he didn't want to really come here!"

Da Ji calmed down and bowed down: "The concubine came to the Star Picking Tower without incident, and when she came to the Star Picking Tower, she didn't realize that she came here, but she felt that it was very quiet, so she stayed." His Majesty is tired of searching, but it is the sin of the concubine. ”

"Why do you have to be so polite, today you haven't drunk the soothing medicine soup yet, go, go take the medicine soup first, and then we will go to the star tower to watch the dance, I haven't seen the wonderful dance of the royal wife for a long time, and I hope to dance for the widow later." ”

Daji hurriedly thanked the Son of Heaven for his concern, glanced back at the room again, frowned slightly, and left with the Son of Heaven. The subtle changes in Daji's expression fell in Zhang Zixing's eyes, and Zhang Zixing sneered in his heart: I didn't expect Daji to be really suspicious, but after the accident last time, this passage has been sealed and replaced with other entrances and exits, so no matter how suspicious she is, she can't find any clues.

After Daji drank the soothing medicine soup, she and the Son of Heaven watched the song and dance on the top of the Star Picking Tower, and deliberately went down to perform a dance, and soon showed tiredness, and the Son of Heaven personally sent her back to the Shouxian Palace to rest, probably too tired, Daji just lay down, and fell into a deep sleep.

Zhang Zixing instructed Kun to donate good health care and walk out of the palace. At this time, a remote contact signal suddenly came from Chao's brain, and Zhang Zixing glanced at it, and showed excitement: it was actually sent by Bixiao!

Is her retreat over?

Zhang Zixing hurriedly came to a secluded place, answered the signal, and Bixiao's long-lost voice really came out: "Your Majesty, you are a busy person, so late to connect, could it be that you have forgotten me, a person who is far away on a desert island? ”

"Don't hang up...... Just now I was going to the court, and when I heard the news from my mother, I hurriedly dispersed to the court, and I just connected," Zhang Zixing hurriedly found a reason to explain, and did not forget to add ambiguously: "These days, I am worried about my mother all the time, how can I forget it!"

Bixiao was originally a scratching word, if you really want to hang up, how can you talk to him more, when you hear his last sentence, your face can't help but blush, and she said angrily: "Who wants you to worry! I haven't seen you for a year, but you are still that light virtue!"

Zhang Zixing hurriedly said: "Niangniang originally said that the retreat would be one year at the earliest, but now it is only seven days away from two years, so I have to wait hard!

Bi Xiao listened to him say the time so accurately, and said in his heart that he was really concerned about himself, he couldn't help but feel sweet, and his tone eased a lot, and when he mentioned the cultivation for the realm, he couldn't help but be proud: "Retreat practice must get rid of distracting thoughts, and there is nothing else in the mind, how can I calculate the time so clearly? This time I have gained a lot, and I have broken through the realm of the Golden Immortal and reached the lower level of the Xuan Immortal." ”

Zhang Zixing heard that Bi Xiao had broken through to the realm of Xuan Xian, and was happy for her, so he hurriedly congratulated her, and asked about Yunxiao and Qiongxiao's situation, Bi Xiao said that she couldn't calm down anymore as soon as she broke through, so she left the retreat alone, and the two sisters were still in retreat, and they didn't know how to enter the realm.

The two "met" again after a long absence, and they had endless words, Zhang Zixing couldn't wait to go to Sanxian Island to see Bixiao immediately, and his words couldn't help but move to the "color head" that Bixiao had promised before. Bi Xiao seemed to guess that he was going to mention this, and said faintly: "Do you really want to see my true face, I just hope that you don't regret it......"
