Chapter 116: Fei Zhong's Scheme
One morning, gather two classes of civil and military, and congratulate the end.
The king said to his ministers: "Because I entered the incense in Nuwa Palace, I saw that her appearance was beautiful, peerless, three palaces and six courtyards, and there was no intention to be respected, what can the ministers do to comfort me?"
In the face of such a sudden and rebellious question from His Majesty, the courtiers were unable to adapt for a while, so no one dared to step forward to answer the king's question.
At this time, the Imperial Xuanzhong Doctor Fei Zhong played: "Your Majesty is the respect of all vehicles, rich in the four seas, virtuous and worthy of Yao Shun, everything in the world is owned by Your Majesty." What kind of beauty do you want? Please also ask Your Majesty to pass on a decree and order 800 princes from all walks of life, and 100 beauties from each town to enrich Your Majesty's harem.
After listening to this, the king seemed to be a dragon-faced person, and immediately praised: "What Qing played is very good." ”
He didn't even ask for the opinions of others, and said directly to the attendants: "Immediately pass on my will, promulgate the princes of each town, and select a hundred beautiful women from good families and places in each town, regardless of rich or poor, only with dignified appearance, gentle temperament, courtesy and leisure, and generosity, so as to fill the harem." ”
Before the king finished speaking, one of the ministers seemed to be unable to hold back any longer. I saw a person in the left class answering the sound, prostrate himself and said: "The old minister Shang Rong Qi plays, Your Majesty! And now there are many beauties in His Majesty's harem, no less than a thousand. The concubine is on the top, and there is a concubine. Now Your Majesty wants to choose a beautiful woman, I am afraid that I will lose the hearts of the people!"
Seeing Shang Rong stand up, King Xuan was not surprised, and he didn't care about Shang Rong's generous words, but silently paid attention to the reactions of his ministers.
"Those who are happy with the people, the people are happy, and those who are worried about the people, the people are also worried. At this time, the floods and droughts are still frequent, and it is a matter of women's sex, and it is really not taken by His Majesty. Therefore, Yao Shun and the people are happy, and the world is transformed by benevolence and virtue, and he does not fight or kill. The stars shine in the sky, the manna falls, the phoenix stops in the garden, the sesame grass is born in the wild, the people are rich in things, the pedestrians give way, the dogs do not bark, the night rain is sunny and the day is clear, the rice grows double spikes, this is the image of prosperity and prosperity......"
The king could only sit on the dragon chair and wait for a long time, and finally waited for the prime minister to finish his discussion. In fact, I have to praise the prime minister's writing, quoting scriptures and classics, and exporting chapters, which is convincing.
However, the reason why this king hates this stinky and hard old stubborn is that in addition to the fact that his governing philosophy is different from him, he is also quite tired of his long speech at every turn, and he looks like a sage.
However, despite this, King Su also had to admit that Shang Rong's remarks were indeed very effective and could incite people's hearts. Looking at the angry crowd above the court, the king knew that if he continued to persevere, there must be others who would continue to play. So he put on a very angry appearance and had to obey, reluctantly withdrew his will, and did not insist on Fei Zhong's proposal.
In fact, this Fei Zhong's performance in this court is all from the meaning of the king alone. Fei Zhong, as a doctor who was picked up by the king of Zhou, is actually a pawn of the king of Zhou in order to balance the power of Shangrong, so that he can have a certain say in this court.
However, for the time being, no one can shake the status of Shangrong, even if he supports Fei Zhong behind his back, he is also powerless. This is also the conclusion that the king has just passed the test, the king has great ambitions, unprecedented ambitions, how can he indulge in women.
The reason why I just said that I wanted to choose folk beauties was just to see how Shang Rong's authority in the court was. Compared with their own will, which is better or worse.
However, the situation is very clear, and his will seems to be vulnerable. As the head of a country, even if you want to choose a woman from a good family to enter the palace, it is actually nothing. Even if there are some flaws in virtue, it can be said that it can be reasonable.
However, such a will, which is not very immoral, and if it goes against Shang Rong's wishes slightly, it cannot be implemented, and it can be said that the king is very annoyed in his heart.
Therefore, the king is even more convinced that the prime minister must be driven out of the court, otherwise it will be difficult to implement some of his strategies in the future, of course, just drive him out of the court.
In the palace, the cigarette smoke curled, the king of the Zhou sat on the dragon couch, and standing in front of him was Huang Feihu, the king of Wucheng, and the henchmen of the king of Yin, Fei Zhong, Lu Xiong and so on.
After following the king back to the court, Yin Po insisted on unloading his armor and returning to the field, because he felt that he had lost the trust of the king of Zhou, and he felt ashamed that he had no face to gain a foothold in the court of the Great Shang Dynasty. However, the king strongly persuaded Yin to stay in ruin, and he was not to blame for the past.
Because the king knew that a general like Yin Rui was exactly what he needed, and he was loyal. As for what it is like in Chentangguan, King Su actually knows it in his heart. But that time, it was he, along with Huang Feihu and others, who could be said to be played with by Li Jing and between the palms of his hands. A veteran like Yin Rui, who knows about military affairs but is not good at Mo Luo, is of course very normal to be confused.
In the face of King Zhou's sincere retention, Yin Rui finally stayed, and after this battle, his loyalty to King Su was even better than before.
"Last time, we were a complete failure, and we didn't achieve the desired effect at all. Of course, I also know that a large part of the blame lies with me, and that I have seen the wrong person. Speaking of this, the king smiled helplessly, obviously not completely relieved of this defeat.
"But a failure is nothing, as the lord of the big business, we have always taken the initiative. You tell me who else among the princes in the world can become the second Dongyi, and can become a sharp knife for us to resolve the power of the princes. ”
Faced with this question of King Xu, Fei Zhong seemed to have thought about it in his heart.
"Back to Your Majesty, today I think there are not many who can resist the blades of the four princes, so we will choose from the remaining princes, I think this Jizhou Hou Suhu is good. ”
Hearing Fei Zhong's answer, Huang Feihu frowned again, a little hesitant, or unbearable.
"Your Majesty, this Su Hu has always been selfless, he is one of the few princes who is still upright, and he has never acted unsubduedly, do you really want to attack him?"
Regarding Huang Feihu's remarks, King Su shook his head and explained to Huang Feihu: "This Su Hu is loyal to the people, and he is upright, and I also know it." However, we didn't attack Su Hu to harm him, but for his good, as long as the plan can succeed, I won't treat him badly. ”
