Chapter 106: Ji Chang's Sudden Death
When Su Daji's matter was discussed, the entire study suddenly fell into a dry silence, Shen Gongbao and Wen Zhongju were quietly sipping fragrant tea, and wisps of white air slowly rose and diffused.
After a long time, Wen Zhongcai frowned thickly, and said in a deep voice: "National Teacher, what do you think of the matter of Xiqi?"
"Xiqi will be reversed!"
"Why?" Wen Zhong wondered, "This Ji Chang's reputation for benevolence and righteousness is all over the world, if he also rebels, I'm afraid that the reputation of his life will be wiped out in an instant, I don't think Ji Chang will do this!"
Shen Gongbao touched the goat's beard and said slowly: "If there was no Jiang Ziya, Ji Chang might not really rebel, but now that Jiang Ziya is beside Ji Chang, then Xiqi will definitely rebel!"
"Such an old man is puzzled, this Jiang Ziya was recommended by the national teacher to the old man, according to the words of the national teacher, I think I have long known that this person has a heart of disobedience in his chest, so why does the national teacher still let this person enter the court as an official? If the national teacher killed this person earlier, then there is no need to worry about Xiqi now!"
Shen Gongbao listened and was silent for a long time before he said: "Taishi, it's not that Poor Dao is unwilling to kill this person, but that he can't kill him now, but the reason for this is that Poor Dao will not change!"
Wen Zhong picked up the fragrant tea again, took a sip, looked at Shen Gongbao's eyes, and asked, "What about Ji Chang? Why didn't you kill this person? Liu'er, the disciple of the previous national teacher, thought that if they really wanted to kill Ji Chang, it shouldn't be a difficult thing, right?"
Shen Gongbao smiled slightly and said, "Yes, if they really wanted to kill Ji Chang before, they might really succeed, but after killing Ji Chang, it would be harmful to the big businessmen and not beneficial!"
"What's the explanation?"
"Has the Taishi forgotten what Ji Chang is most afraid of?"
Wen Zhong frowned, and after a long groan, he was shocked: "Is the national teacher talking about Ji Chang's reputation?"
"Yes, in the land of Xiqi projectiles, why should the big merchants be afraid? But now that this projectile land has the great name of benevolence and righteousness of Ji Chang, it is by no means ordinary! If Ji Chang dies in the midst of the great merchants, then the people of Xiqi will raise the banner of revenge, and with the name of Ji Chang's benevolence and righteousness, they will surely get the support of many princes in the future, so the big merchants will be in danger!"
Wen Zhong chewed Shen Gongbao's words for a moment, still frowning, and said: "But now that Ji Chang has returned to Xiqi, if he still raises the flag to rebel, with his name, he will still respond to every call!"
Shen Gongbao smiled when he heard this, and said: "Taishi, Ji Chang will never dare to directly raise the flag and rebel now, like Dong Bohou, he will explicitly say that he wants to attack Chaoge, after all, if he does this, he will lose the name of righteousness, but Jiang Ziya will definitely make some methods of stealing beams and changing pillars, so that Ji Chang will cause trouble! For example, let Ji Chang raise the banner of loyalty and patriotism, and raise troops to recruit some extremely notorious princes, in the name of for the sake of the great merchants, eradicate the rebellious ministers and thieves, but in fact, quietly reduce the strength of the great merchants!"
"Is the national teacher saying that Ji Chang intends to conquer Beibohou Chonghou Hu?" Wen Zhong was shocked, the most notorious princes, except for Chonghou Hu, Wen Zhong really can't think of anyone else, for Chonghou Hu, Wen Zhong actually doesn't like it very much, but although this person is brutal and brutal, but he is really a loyal minister to Dashang, and Wen Zhong has always turned a blind eye to what he did.
Shen Gongbao nodded lightly and said, "Yes, Poor Dao has received the news, and Ji Chang will soon raise an army to attack Chongcheng in the name of eradicating the rebellious ministers and thieves!"
"Is this true?" Wen Zhong asked in a deep voice.
"Could it be that the Taishi still can't believe in the poor way?"
After hearing this, Wen Zhong frowned slightly, and then got up and said, "In this way, the old man is going to order someone to go and inform Chonghou Hu and let him prepare early!"
"Taishi, don't be in such a hurry, Xiqi intends to go north to Chonghou Hu, and there are many places he passes through on the way, with the manpower of Bei Bohou, how can he not notice it?"
"Even so, in order to make sure that something happens, the old man still ordered someone to go and inform him!" Wen Zhong said, and strode out of the study, leaving Shen Gongbao alone to stay in the study quietly and think.
Silent, Shen Gongbao sat quietly, constantly stroking his beard under the sea, and after a long time, Shen Gongbao smiled to himself and said: "Just take advantage of this incident to take advantage of Jiang Ziya's army, and it is good to break Xiqi's biggest weapon!"
Then Shen Gongbao didn't wait for Wen Zhong to come back, so he asked his subordinates to tell him, and then slowly returned to his mansion.
As soon as he entered the mansion, he saw Huang Feihu, the king of Wucheng, hurriedly greeted him and shouted, "National teacher, you are back!"
Seeing this, Shen Gongbao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and saluted: "King Wucheng is polite, but he doesn't know what to do when he is in such a hurry to find the poor road?"
Then he stretched out his hand and waved, "King Wucheng, talk inside, please!"
Seeing this, Huang Feihu nodded, and then followed Shen Gongbao back to the main hall, and after taking his seat, he said: "I heard that this time in the five passes, there is a person from Huang Tianhua who came to rescue Ji Chang and others, I don't know if there is really such a thing?"
When Shen Gongbao heard this, he immediately knew why Huang Feihu was so anxious, it turned out to be for Huang Tianhua, seeing this, Shen Gongbao couldn't help but move in his heart, this Huang Tianhua also shined in the tribulation of the gods, and now this Huang Feihu has not reversed the dynasty song, so can he use this to pull Huang Tianhua back to the big business camp?
"Maybe it's okay!
When Shen Gongbao was silent in his reverie, Huang Feihu was anxiously waiting for Shen Gongbao's reply, and seeing that Shen Gongbao was silent for a long time, he asked again: "National teacher, are you talking about it!"
Shen Gongbao immediately smiled embarrassedly when he heard this, and said: "I'm sorry, the poor road is distracted, yes, but there is a person named Huang Tianhua, and he is very powerful, Chen Tong and Chen Wu The two generals were all killed by him, and more than 100 soldiers were also killed by him, it is really terrible!"
When Huang Feihu heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, then frowned, sighed, and said: "If what I expected is good, this person may be my eldest son who was lost in the back garden in the early years, I didn't expect that he is still alive, and he has also practiced a good skill, but he was instigated by others to kill my big merchant generals and soldiers, how is this good?"
Shen Gongbao pretended to be suspicious, and said: "It turns out that this person is the son of King Wucheng, and sure enough, the tiger father has no dog!"
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I hate the person who secretly stole my Tianhua child in the first place, if I knew who did it, I would definitely kill this thief!" Huang Feihu said hatefully.
Shen Gongbao smiled when he heard this, and didn't directly tell Huang Feihu where Huang Tianhua was at this time, and said with a smile: "If Huang Tianhua is really the son of King Wucheng, presumably when he recognizes each other in the future, I will agree that there will be another tiger general, as for the fact that he killed Chen Tong and Chen Wu, forget it, Poor Dao expects that he may not know his life experience at this time, so he can't be blamed!"
Huang Feihu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "With the words of the national teacher, I will feel at ease, and the next time the Tianhua child appears, I will definitely let him know his life experience, return to his family, make meritorious contributions, and serve the good of the big business!"
Shen Gongbao smiled and nodded, and then invited Huang Feihu to stay, put on good wine and food, and after drinking and talking, he let Huang Feihu return to the mansion
Xiqi City, in the seven halls, Ji Changzheng looked at the sudden appearance of Bo Yi Kao with a surprised face, excited, Ji Fa on the side was also shocked, and there was a deep haze in the depths of his eyes.
Qinglian Daoren had a faint smile on his face, stood silently aside, and quietly looked at Ji Chang and Bo Yi Kao, who were excited in the field, without words.
After a long time, Bo Yi Kao and Ji Chang finally calmed down, only to see Ji Chang walk up to Qinglian Dao Ren and said gratefully: "Thank you Qinglian Dao Chang for helping Yi Kao, I am grateful!"
"Master Hou doesn't need to be like this, Yi Kao is my disciple, and it is my duty to help him in a critical situation, so why thank you!"
Before, Ji Chang and the others were ascending to the palace to the court, but the Qinglian Daoist ignored it, and went straight to the seven halls with Bo Yi Kao, so that the early dynasty was interrupted, but the ministers in the field did not have the slightest complaint, after all, Bo Yi Kao returned safely, it is indeed a thing worth celebrating, and the matter of Xiqi has already been properly handled, and it is not a big deal if it is interrupted.
"Congratulations on my brother's safe return!" Ji Fa walked up to Bo Yi Kao with a smile on his face, slightly excited.
Bo Yi Kao glanced at Ji Fa carefully, and said indifferently: "Brother Lao Xian is worried!"
Seeing that Bo Yi Kao came back safely, in addition to Ji Fa's displeasure in his heart, there was another person who also had some doubts in his heart, that was Prime Minister Jiang Ziya, at first glance when he saw Bo Yi Kao's return, Jiang Ziya was puzzled in his heart, and a pair of old eyes looked straight at Bo Yi Kao, as if he wanted to see if he was really alive.
Fengming Qishan, when a virtuous saint was born, Ji Chang is indeed a virtuous lord, but Jiang Ziya knows that Ji Chang is old, and now he is more than ninety years old, obviously unable to achieve the great cause of overthrowing Yin Shang.
After seeing Ji Fa, looking at his decisive temperament, and hearing that he had read all kinds of classics on the art of war, he was only orderly in dealing with state affairs, and he was also very concerned about the affairs of the people.
I thought that Bo Yi Kao had been killed in the court song, so Ji Fa became the best candidate for succession, but I didn't expect that this Bo Yi Kao was not dead, but still stood alive on the seven halls, which made Jiang Ziya feel confused.
After Jiang Ziya took a closer look at Bo Yi, he found that there was actually a trace of human emperor breath on his body, seeing this, Jiang Ziya was even more confused, frowning, and wondering very much: "Will there be two human emperors?"
After a while, Jiang Ziya looked at the Qinglian Daoist, his brows were furrowed again, for some reason, Jiang Ziya always felt that the Qinglian Daoist in front of him seemed to be very annoying, or rather jealous.
"Jiang Shang has seen Qinglian Dao Chief, don't you know where he cultivates in that immortal mountain?" Jiang Ziya smiled slightly, and walked to Qinglian Dao to say to him.
Seeing this, the Qinglian Daoist saluted in return and said: "Deep mountain and wild cultivation, how can I come to the Xianshan Dojo, it's just a little hill, but I'm ashamed to talk about it, so I won't talk about it, hehe!"
"Hehe, the Taoist is humble!"
"I heard that the prime minister is cultivating in Kunlun Immortal Mountain, he is really envious of the poor road, and his luck is not shallow, but I don't know why the prime minister still goes down the mountain to mix in the red dust?"
Jiang Ziya smiled embarrassedly: "I have dull qualifications, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve the immortal way, but it is because the teacher ordered me to go down the mountain, achieve the name of the world, and enjoy the blessings of the ministers, so that this life will not be in vain!"
"I see, hehe!" Qinglian Daoist smiled, and then didn't ask more, seeing this, Jiang Ziya also retreated to his position, quietly looked at Bo Yi Kao and Qinglian Daoren, and thought slowly in his heart.
After that, Ji Chang was very happy because of the safe return of Bo Yi Kao, and feasted the ministers in the palace, sharing the joy of the sheng flute, and did not disperse the feast until very late.
In this way, half a moon passed in a flash, and the people of Qinglian Dao lived in the mansion of Boyi Kao in the name of guiding Boyi Kao, and did not leave Xiqi.
Within half a month, the people of Xiqi already knew that Ji Chang was about to march to conquer the Northern Bohou Chonghou Tiger in the near future, and the people in the city were very happy, and every family burned incense and prayed for blessings, wishing Ji Chang to eradicate Chonghou Tiger as soon as possible, all because the reputation of Chonghou Tiger was too stinky, and everyone knew its brutal and tyrannical name, and ordinary children could cry when they heard the name of Chonghou Tiger, which showed how terrifying Chonghou Tiger was.
For such evil princes who enslaved the people and trapped them in pain, the people in Xiqi City, while glad that they and others were under the jurisdiction of Xibohou Jichang, at the same time, they also grieved for the people in Chongcheng and deeply sympathized with their fiery life.
At this time, Xibohou is about to go on a northern expedition and eradicate Beibohou, how can everyone not be happy?
Not to mention the joy of everyone in the city, and said that since Ji Chang decided to go north to attack Chonghou Hu, he ordered the general Nangong Shi to reorganize the three armies, equip them with enough grain and grass, and prepare for the march, and at the same time ordered the three armies not to disturb the local people along the way during the march, and must have strict military discipline, and violators should be beheaded!
When everything was ready, this said, Ji Chang and Prime Minister Jiang Ziya, the general Nangong Shi and the four sages and eight jun and others gathered outside Xiqi City to take the oath, Qinglian Dao people came to watch with Bo Yi Kao, and the people in Xiqi City also gathered here, and their faces were overjoyed.
Ji Chang climbed on the high platform, and after speaking very passionately, he finally stood on the high platform, holding the white and yellow Yue in his hand and shouted: "I vow to eradicate the evil thief who has brought disaster to the country and the people of Chonghou Hu, and return the people of the world to the good fortune!"
Ji Chang said that, and all the military officials in the audience shouted in unison: "Lord Shengming!" and the people of Xiqi were also overjoyed at this time.
Seeing this, Ji Chang, who was on the high platform, also had a smile on his face, feeling that what he did should be right, after all, it was right to get the support of the people.
At this moment, Ji Chang, who was smiling, suddenly suffocated with a smile, his face froze, and after a while, Ji Chang's still high-spirited body fell down, and everyone in the audience was stunned, and then there was a burst of exclamations and shouts, which was very chaotic.
