Chapter 1 Xibohou, Ji Chang's death
Wen Zhong was shocked to hear about the change in Chaoge, and hurried to hurry, but it took more than half a year to rush back to Chaoge. In the spring and April of the twentieth year of the reign of King Xu, Wen Zhong led an army of 50,000 to return to the court. Huang Feihu, the minister of the central government, and others all went outside the city to welcome the return of the Taishi, and the doctors Sun Rong and Yao Zhong were especially happy.
Wen Zhong saw that although everyone was happy, they described it as withered and anxious, and sighed in his heart, although the king did stupid things, the loyal ministers of the court were still there, and he bowed his hand and said: "Wen Zhong has been gone for many years, and he has not been in the court for a long time. There are people who greet them and go to the house to talk. ”
Wen Zhong followed everyone into the city, and saw that the city of Chaoge was full of withered appearances: the wine shop was closed, and one or two pedestrians were hurrying, and the clouds were shrouded, as if they were not full of resentment. The neighborhoods are all gone, and the houses are tiled, and the buildings are empty. Outside the city, I saw a high platform with a flat bottom, and there was still a little popularity, but there were many grievances and demonic winds in it.
Although Wen Zhong knew that the king was helpless, he was inevitably sad in his heart, and he had only ended up in such a miserable state for hundreds of years. Wen Zhong couldn't help but speed up his pace, and in a hurry, he arrived at the Taishi's Mansion. Everyone followed Wen Zhong to the Taishi's mansion, and Wen Zhong ordered Yu Qing to hold the four gates and not let idlers come in.
Everyone sat down, and before Wen Zhong could speak, the doctor Xia Zhao over there couldn't bear it, and shouted: "The Taishi is in the north, can you hear that the world is in chaos, the government is barren, and the princes are rebellious?"
Wen Zhong heard Xia Zhao's tone full of grievances and anger, so he replied: "Zhong is in Beihai, I see the newspaper every year, and the sun and the moon notice, but I am worried about the two places, and Beihai is difficult to peace." ”
Xia Zhao said again: "Since the Son of Heaven accepted Su Hu's daughter, the court has become increasingly chaotic. cut out the eyes of Yuan with Jiang Niangniang to death, and killed the son. The princes entered the court song, killed the ministers, and beheaded the heavenly eunuch Taishi Du Yuanmi. Listening to Daji's fox charm, the punishment of cannon branding, broke Zhao Qi. Ji Chang was imprisoned in Jinli for seven years. There is a basin in the Star Picking Building. caused the rubber to fall from the building and died. There are also wine pools and meat forests, and Gong E died tragically. Wantonly use Chonghou Tiger to supervise the work, bribe the passage, draw two out of three, go to service alone, and the rich buy idle at home. Tired of the people, fill in the audience. The doctor Yang Ren admonished to obstruct the work of Lutai, and cut out Yang Ren's eyes, and the remains have not been traced so far. Eshun has been committing Sanshan Pass for many years, and Dou Rong, the chief soldier of the Wandering Soul Pass, is also struggling to resist Jiang Wenhuan. Before, King Wucheng was ordered to behead Xibohou. Xibo's son, Ji Fa, does not think about loyalty, but he is a self-reliant martial king, and he is also anti-willful, and it is even worse for Chonghou Hu's life. Taishi. The princes of the eight hundred towns in the world have rebelled against six hundred towns, so how can we deal with it!"
After Xia Zhao finished speaking, he was full of tears, and the people in this hall wept and were sad when they heard the words. Wen Zhong knew that these were not the original intentions of the King of Zhou, but he didn't know how to comfort everyone. At this moment, someone shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is coming, the Taishi is coming out to greet you!", it is the servant of the king.
But it was Yuan Hong in the palace. Hearing that Wen Zhong had returned to the dynasty, he was overjoyed, and he came to see Wen Zhong in a hurry. Although Yuan Hong has been singing for more than half a year. But they never came to see the courtiers, and the ministers were frightened by the violence of the king, but they did not want to go to the king. Yuan Hong has Daji's help, but he has not seen the courtiers for more than half a year, even Huang Feihu has not seen him, and Huang Feihu thought that the king was not in the court, and there was only a demon fox in the palace. I don't feel comfortable going into the palace. At this time, Wen Zhong returned to the dynasty, but Yuan Hong couldn't bear it, but it was not easy for Yuan Hong to endure more than half a year in the palace.
Wen Zhong heard that the king was coming, and he was surprised for a while, and the king was clearly not singing in the court. How can I come? Wen Zhong opened his eyebrows and eyes, did not move, and came with everyone to greet the king. But seeing that the king had already arrived in front of the hall, Wen Zhong secretly looked at it, but he couldn't see the clue, so he had to pay homage with everyone, and he heard the sound in his ears, "Taishi, I am Yuan Hong." ”。 Wen Zhong was shocked when he heard this, but he also knew it.
Everyone sat down, only to hear the "King of Zhou" say: "The Taishi is in Beihai, Lone and the Taishi have something to discuss, and the Zhongqing should see you again tomorrow." ”
Wen Zhong knew that Yuan Hong wanted to talk to him, so he signaled to the ministers, and Xia Zhao, Yao Zhong, Sun Rong and others would leave. Huang Feihu was about to retire, but was stopped by Wen Zhong's eyes, so he also stayed, and Huang Feihu was also very happy when he saw the arrival of the king, thinking that the time had come for the revival of the great business.
Everyone left, and before Huang Feihu could speak, he saw King Xuan turn into another person. The man saluted Wen Zhong and said, "Yuan Hong has seen the Taishi. ”
Wen Zhong praised: "Daoist friends are good Taoists, and my eyes can't see it." ”
Yuan Hong saw Wen Zhong's praise, his true nature was restored, and he scratched his ears and cheeks and replied: "But it was the Taishi who was trapped before, and I was ordered by the master to go to Jinao Island for help, and the master taught me." This time he pretended to be His Majesty, and it was also because the ancestor was afraid of the turmoil of the dynasty, so he called me here. ”
Wen Zhong listened, gave a salute to Jinao Island, and said, "Master Ancestor Dade." ”
Yuan Hong also learned the same when he saw it. Wen Zhong saw that Huang Feihu was talking on the side, so he introduced: "Feihu, this is a person from my sect, and he is also His Majesty's nephew, Yuan Hong. ”
When Huang Feihu heard this, he knew that Yuan Hong was a credible person, and he no longer had doubts in his heart, and he had seen Yuan Hong.
Wen Zhong asked, "Flying Tiger, what Xia Zhao said before is true?"
Huang Feihu knew what Wen Zhong meant, nodded and said, "Before His Majesty left in a hurry, Feihu was close to him. His Majesty passed the decree, and Feihu did not dare to slack off, so he went to Jinli to supervise the punishment. ”
When Wen Zhong heard that King Xuan was leaving, Huang Feihu was close to him, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "What was the situation when His Majesty went, and please Feihu tell me in detail, I heard about it in Beihai, but I don't know the details." ”
When Huang Feihu heard this, he told Wen Zhong in detail about the events of the day.
However, it was said that on that day, Huang Feihu was edicted to kill Xibo Hou Jichang, but the four generals under him had many complaints about the king and did not know him. Huang Feihu didn't know that the king was a momentary anger, and he only thought that the king of the king was already in his chest, and the revival of Yin Shang was hopeful, so he naturally pursued it. Huang Feihu personally took the servants of the king of Xuan with Chao Tian and Chao Lei brothers, day and night, and went to the palace. But in two days, it was in the mystery. When Ji Chang saw Huang Feihu coming, his heart jumped inexplicably, knowing that Huang Feihu was not good here, but he didn't expect that his death had come. Huang Feihu knew that the people of the Immortal Dao were also implicated, so he didn't dare to hesitate, and announced the will of the king, so he ordered the serving officials to be executed. Poor Ji Chang calculated his life, but he couldn't escape this edict and died with his head on his head.
Although Huang Feihu secretly hated Ji Chang, invited him to buy fame, and conspired against the big businessmen, after all, he couldn't bear Ji Chang's corpse to be divided into two parts, but he still let the coffin be filled, and went to Xiqi with the serving officer to spread the edict, and he brought Chao Tian and Chao Lei brothers back to the court.
Although Zhou Ji and the others felt that Huang Feihu had been gone for many days this time, something was wrong, they didn't think much about it, and they didn't think that a few days later, the news would come out, but it was too late to regret it. Huang Feihu presided over the head of Xibohou this time, which made everyone how he turned against Dashang and defected to Xiqi, and everyone only felt that the future was bleak.
However, it was said that in the autumn and October of the nineteenth year of the reign of King Xu, which lasted more than a month, the edict official took Ji Chang's coffin to Xiqi City and sent the edict to the Xibohou Mansion. The people of Xiqi have been governed by Jichang, and they are also prosperous and prosperous. When the people on the street saw the edict and went straight to the Xibohou Mansion, there were good deeds who followed and wanted to find out.
After a while, the edict official arrived at the Xibohou Mansion, and his own father Ji Chang was dead, and his own mother Tairen came out to greet him with the support of Ji Chang's wife, Tai Ji. The edict sent Huang Feihu and the will of the king of Xu, regardless of anything else, but it was just that Xibohou Ji Chang acted unprovokedly and disobeyed the king, and immediately gave him death and was succeeded by his eldest son Ji Boyi. After the edict passed on the will, he didn't care about anything else and left, but it was taught by Huang Feihu, who was afraid that Xiqi's subordinates would kill the edict to vent his anger. It was also Huang Feihu who was prescient, and when Sanyi Sheng and the others remembered the edict, this wave of people had already left Xiqi City.
Tai Ren heard the edict and saw Ji Chang's coffin beside him, where could he bear it, even if he fainted. Tai Ji was even more busy, and helped her mother back to the house to rescue, and Xibohou's Mansion was in chaos. San Yisheng, Nangong Shi and other ministers of Xiqi all stood on the spot, not wanting such an accident.
When Sanyisheng woke up, it was already half an hour, and the chaos in the Hou Mansion was unabated. San Yisheng held back his grief and summoned all the ministers of Xiqi to come to Xibohou's Mansion to pay tribute to Xibo. Over there, more than 90 people, including Ji Chang's sons Bo Yi Kao, Ji Fa, Ji Dan, and Ji Shuming, returned to the Hou Mansion one after another to worship their father. Ji Chang gave birth to nine out of ninety children in his life, but all of them came to send him off, but only the righteous son Lei Zhenzi had not yet arrived.
However, it is: the virtuous marquis is self-planned, and the agency is all invited to fame.
However, after seven years of imprisonment, he was unexpectedly killed. (To be continued......)
