Chapter 184 Issue an edict

At first, King Zhou refused to accept the fact that Daji was a vixen, but when Yin Jiao threw the bodies of Hu Ximei and Wang Guiren in front of him, he had to accept this fact.

When he thought of the despicable things he had done for a vixen, regret appeared on King Zhou's face for the first time.

It is true that he loves beauty, but the other person is a vixen, and he just feels sick. Now thinking about it, since Daji entered the palace, many strange things happened in the palace, such as Yun Zhongzi presented his sword and said that there was a monster in the palace.

Damn, there are mountains of bones piled up next to Taihu Lake.

Yin Jiao had been paying attention to King Zhou. Seeing his expression, he said coldly: "Are you regretting what you have done?"

King Zhou sighed: "All this is my fault. I have wronged your mother and made her suffer unjust injustice. I am even more sorry for your two brothers. Fortunately, God has blessed me, and you two escaped from the execution ground."

, otherwise I will cut off my bloodline and have no chance to see my ancestors after death."

Yin Jiao said: "It's too late to regret it now."

King Zhou said: "You will never forgive me even if I know what I say now."

Yin Jiao said coldly: "It's good that you know."

Daji got the fate she deserved, King Zhou repented for his crimes, and his great revenge was avenged. Yin Jiao felt relaxed all over. He glanced at King Zhou, turned around and walked out of Shouxian Palace.

As for persuading King Zhou to abdicate, it was left to the ministers.

This edict caused turmoil in the government and the public. After all, King Zhou was still a tyrant before. Now he changed his normal behavior and confessed to the people of the world. This is simply incredible. Since the Xia Dynasty, no king has done this.

"When I first came to the throne, I stayed up late at night and ate at night, and worked tirelessly on governance. Only then did I have a prosperous country, with all the barbarians surrendering, and guests from all directions subdued. I should have enjoyed peace. However, I was arrogant and extravagant, greedy for beauty, and ignored all officials.

To obstruct her, she took Da as his concubine and was lost in her mind. She set up cannons, built grass basins, killed her wife and children, and was cruel and cruel. She committed many crimes, even more than Xia Jie. She forced the princes to rebel, wars broke out, and the people were in dire straits. All of this was

It is my fault, and I have issued this edict to the whole world."

King Zhou fell from the supreme kingship. In just a few days, he completely changed. His hair was disheveled, his eyes were filled with regret, and he had aged several years. His aura as a king was gone, and he was like an old man who had made a mistake.

Let's put it this way, Dashang was already suffering from a serious illness, and the edict was just a medicine that only alleviated the illness. To cure it, there was a long way to go.

What King Zhou has done over the years has made people lose their hearts. Otherwise, he would not have been able to control the palace so quickly. Even if he used magic to suppress them, if they were loyal to King Zhou, they would definitely resist and try to rescue King Zhou.

From beginning to end, no one did this.

Deng Zhongdao: "What is the attitude of the ministers?"

We are all smart people. As long as we support Yin Hong, we will not lose our glory and wealth. Moreover, Yin Hong is the son of King Zhou, so his reputation is justified.

Wei Zi sighed: "It's your Majesty who wants to see the Crown Prince and His Highness the Second Highness."

Wei Zi said: "What Mr. Deng said is absolutely true."

Yin Jiao looked at Deng Zhong. King Zhou's confession was just a pavement for him to abdicate.

Yin Jiao knew that if he opened his mouth, King Zhou would definitely agree to abdicate, but he did not want to ask for anything from King Zhou, let alone recognize him as his father. He felt that a tyrant like King Zhou should spend the rest of his life in repentance.

…

Yin Jiao could only have considered this before proposing that Yin Hong should inherit the throne.

Wei Zi said: "Prince, he is your father after all. He looks quite pitiful. He is only served by a palace servant, and that palace servant is also mute."

Zhang Qian opposed Yin Jiao on the spot. Now that Xian Fu was at home, he couldn't help but burst into tears when he learned about the edict.

Although King Zhou confessed and the world's view of him changed, the people's hatred for him did not disappear.

Yin Jiao said: "So what? He is pitiful, but those who were ordered to be executed by him are not pitiful."

Wei Zi looked like he was hesitating to speak, so Deng Zhong said: "Your Highness Wei Zi, you don't have to speak out if you have something to say."

In fact, in terms of talent, Yin Jiao is a suitable candidate for the Shang King, but his appearance is too fierce. Even if he is elected, he will definitely arouse criticism, which is obviously not good for the rule of the Great Shang.

In his opinion, King Zhou was wise in his early years, but in the past ten years he has become dull and unprincipled, but he was still kind to him. Without King Zhou's appreciation, he would still be a minor official, and how could he repay his failure in one act?

Now this edict has only spread to cities outside Chaoge. The eight hundred princes may not know about it. After they know it, it will not be too late to talk about the abdication. Yin Hong's accession to the throne is finalized.

Deng Zhong said: "That's good."

Although it was Yin Jiao who came forward to change the dynasty, the person behind the scenes was Deng Zhong, who also made the suggestions. After all, how much knowledge did Yin Jiao and Yin Hong have?

No matter what fate King Zhou ended up with, he deserved it all and he did not deserve sympathy.

Yin Jiao said coldly: "Uncle, go and tell him that my brother and I will never see him again in our lives."

Wei Zi said: "They must have some complaints about being left in the palace. They just have no objections to His Highness Yin Hong banning the king and becoming the next King of Shang. Most of them are more optimistic about him."

It can be said that King Zhou set a precedent by instituting torture, and he also set a precedent by issuing an edict to plead guilty.

"Prince, what's the next step?"

After all, after King Zhou accepted Daji, he was only greedy for pleasure and did not care about the life and death of the people. In the past ten years, many wives were separated and many people lived a hellish life.

It can be said that King Zhou has betrayed all his relatives and left, and he can't do anything in Shouxian Palace.

Weizi went to see Yin Jiao and Yin Hong to persuade King Zhou, but it didn't take much effort. King Zhou even didn't even scold him, but calmly wrote the edict of confession.

Deng Zhong said: "Your Highness Weizi, there is no need to worry. Let the world digest the news first."

In order to prevent the news from spreading, Deng Zhong directly asked all civil and military officials to live in the palace until the overall situation was settled before letting them go home.

In the suburbs of Yin, Yin Hong valued Deng Zhong so much. Why should he take the lead in anything? King Zhou also did the same to Grand Master Wen. As long as Yin Hong succeeds as King of Shang, Deng Zhong will be reused. Wei Zi can't help but think, Grand Master Wen Zhong

, what will be Deng Zhong’s official position in the future?

Wei Zi looked at Deng Zhong, hoping that he could persuade Yin Jiao.

Deng Zhongdao: "I agree with the prince on this matter. The poor man must be hateful."

Deng Zhong felt a sense of hatred when he thought of what King Zhou had done, not to mention the families he had harmed.

Wei Zi didn't want to persuade him anymore. He thought that he would go to see him next time, bring good wine and food, and have a good meal with him. From Wei Zi's point of view, if King Zhou is like this, I'm afraid

It won't last long.
