Chapter 439: Conspiracy under the fire
By the way, Emperor Xin wanted to kill the rebels of the ancestral rebel, Xibo Hou Jichang, but he was unable to find an excuse, so he attracted his favorite minister Fei Zhong and Youhun discussed it.
These two brothers were recommended by Emperor Xin from his slaves. Although their abilities are not as good as Shang Rong, Bi Gan and others, they are considered to be middle-class and superior.
Moreover, in addition to the problem of greed for money, these two people are quite loyal to Di Xin.
When he heard that Emperor Xin wanted to kill Jichang, Fei Zhong, and Youhun did not ask about the reason for his love, he used his brain and actively thought about the strategy.
It’s true that they are not wise people. The two of them got together and muttered, and soon came up with a seemingly feasible solution.
Emperor Xin was blocked from implementing the slave human rights bill, so he temporarily stopped his mind of forcibly promoting it. In this way, it would be meaningless for the princes from all directions to stay in Chaoge. So one day, Emperor Xin sent a decree to tell the eight hundred princes that you can go back to your own house and find your mother!
Finally, he defeated Emperor Zixin's evil conspiracy to fight against the slave owner's rule. All the slave owners of the Shang Dynasty celebrated each other, drinking and singing every day, and staying up all night, and were very proud.
It was not until Emperor Zixin issued an imperial edict that he asked all princes to return to their territory as soon as possible and not be domineering in the capital and causing trouble, that these pigs and monkeys were reluctant to leave and their feelings scattered in birds and beasts.
Those 800 little pig monkeys had no foundation in the capital, so they could only roll up their bedding, clamp their tails, and sneak out of the capital.
But the four great princes all have deep roots and have mixed relationships with many ministers in the capital. Even the royal relatives were involved in the four great princes.
Therefore, these four uncles, Hou Lijing, the famous ministers and royal relatives of the Shang Dynasty, basically all came out of the city to see each other off. The scene was quite grand, and more people came than Emperor Xin's morning dynasty.
Well, in fact, Emperor Xin had to attend the morning dynasty with a high enough rank.
But these four princes left the capital, especially this time, not only the officials of all sizes, but also the slave owners of all sizes of the Shang Dynasty, all went out to see him off.
Even Fei Zhong and Youhun, the two hard-core followers of Emperor Xin, looked for an opportunity to come and send them off to express their kindness to these four princes.
"Idiot, this time I should understand, whose world is this world?" The slave owners were so proud.
Thinking of the ministers and the princes join forces to guide the country in the court and angrily scold Emperor Xin. These slave owners of all sizes were like taking two tons of aphrodisiacs, and were deeply excited, and their eyes were full of blue light.
Now I heard that the four great princes, like the savior, were ordered to leave the capital, and the slave owners of the four great princes and the officials of the court, naturally had to beat drums and go out of the city to see off.
Seeing that the overall situation was settled, among the four major princes, Dongbo Marquis Jiang Huanchu and Nanbo Marquis E Chongyu, were already leaving one after another by the tender Chonghou Hu.
Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, has always been actively planning rebellion, so he naturally had to take care of it carefully in the court. Moreover, this guy is good at disguising, has a good reputation, and has a deep friendship with famous ministers such as Shang Rong and Bi Gan. Therefore, Ji Chang stayed in Chaoge City for the longest time.
However, when Ji Chang left Beijing, the farewell scene was the most grand.
But Ji Chang has always pretended to be generous in order to form cliques, and it can be said that he has to drink wine. After drinking with a group of court officials, Ji Chang was already a little dizzy, blurred and had a big tongue.
At this time, Fei Zhong and Youhun also came to see him off.
Although Ji Chang has always regarded himself as a virtuous minister, he has had many dealings with Fei Zhongyou due to the need for rebellion and has given many gifts to the two brothers' mansions. Now these two people are giving each other warmly, Ji Chang is naturally very enthusiastic about it.
One side was a knot, the other side was flattered, and the three of them quickly became like brothers and got together.
Shang Rong, Bi Gan and others have always been in a disagreement with Fei Zhong, Youhun, and they despised these two favorite ministers from slaves. At this moment, seeing Ji Chang and the two chatted with each other, they simply hid far aside to enjoy the cool air, and they were out of sight and not upset.
The annoying one left. Fei Zhong and Youhun immediately spread their tongues and tried to persuade them to drink frequently. After drinking a few glasses of wine, Ji Chang was completely confused.
"I heard that, Xianhou, you are the first-class in understanding the signature and reading fortune tellers, and you are all first-class in fortune tellers. I don't know if you are a fortune teller, you are a good person. Don't you have any feudal superstition and pseudoscience?" Seeing that Ji Chang was no longer clear about his mind, Fei Zhong looked for an opportunity to speak.
"The principles of yin and yang have fixed numbers. How can you not pinch it? You dare to say that I am a feudal, hiccup, superstition! Uh, feudal superstition, what is a feudal superstition? I tell you, this hexagram, calculate one, hiccup, and be sure! No, no money is charged! If you don't believe it, just hiccup, ask one, someone will give it to you, calculate it!" His best skills were questioned, Ji Chang was naturally angry, so he patted his chest, burped, and said to Fei Zhong and Youhun.
"Take it seriously?" You Hun, who was standing by, immediately cast a questioning look at him, but once again pushed Ji Chang's anger higher and stronger.
"Take it seriously!" Ji Chang patted his chest hard and said in a male orangutan, "If you ask casually, I won't believe it. In this world, there is me, Ji Chang, hiccup, I can't calculate it!"
The trick was sold, Fei Zhong immediately said with contempt, "Can you calculate the future of Shang Tang?"
"Shang Tang's energy is almost over, no need to ask! It's just a matter of this generation! Moreover, it's not a good end!" He is worthy of being a professional. Although he is still confused, when he mentioned fortune-telling, Ji Chang immediately stopped stuttering and changed into a bit of seriousness with a hazy drunkenness.
"Oh? What's the specific statement?" Fei Zhong continued to ask half-believingly.
"It will not exceed the forty-seventh year of Emperor Xin, and this Shang Dynasty will definitely be over!" Ji Chang's expression was solemn, quite firm, and he was as imposing as a country.
"Oh..." Fei Zhong, You's heart was shocked, and his face became ugly.
Xibo Hou was proficient in Yin and Yang Yi techniques, which is well known to everyone in the world.
Moreover, Ji Chang was obviously drunk and confused at this moment. Otherwise, how could he dare to say such seemingly rebellious words?
Therefore, Fei Zhong and Youhun did not doubt the authenticity of Ji Chang's words.
After being sad for a while, he was depressed and poured Ji Chang a few glasses of wine. Fei Zhong and Youhun asked about his own luck again, but Ji Chang told him that they would be frozen to death.
What made Fei Zhongyouhu even more angry was that Ji Chang said shamelessly that he could have a good ending!
If you tell me fortunes, you will be bad, and if you tell me fortunes yourself, you will be good. I thought I would be thick-skinned enough to buy your brother, but I didn’t expect that this Xibo Marquis is even more shameless!
Fortune tellers really have nothing good! They are all feudal remnants and are about to be killed by river crabs!
In anger, the two of them drank a few more drinks, then rushed back to Di Xin, and went to report to Xibo Hou Jichang's darkness.
"It's outrageous! Mom, well, I, why did I become the king of a devastated country? I still have a good ending? This fortune teller dared to speak nonsense and slander the king. He had ulterior motives. His heart could be punished, but his heart could be punished!" After hearing Fei Zhong and Youhun's report, Emperor Xin immediately became angry.
"What's even more shameless is that Ji Chang actually said that he had a good end! A minister, he didn't want to be loyal to the country. Instead, he spread rumors and cursed His Majesty, which was obviously a ill-hearted attempt to usurp Your Majesty's throne!" Seeing Emperor Xin angry, Fei Zhong and Youhun immediately fanned the flames from the side.
"Hmph! You dare to curse us and die a good death? I see how you end up doing well this time? This time I will let His Majesty take the opportunity to chop your head!"
Emperor Xin naturally didn't know the little abacus in Fei Zhongyou's mind.
However, when Fei Zhongyouhun said that Ji Chang was ill-behaved and wanted to usurp the throne, Emperor Xin immediately believed it!
Because Emperor Xin knew that since Ji Chang's father and former Xibo Marquis Ji Li, Xiqi has always had the opposite intention. It's just that his grandfather Wen Ding took action faster and killed Ji Li first.
Di Xin's father Di Yi was also very wary of Xiqi, otherwise he would not have married him and married Emperor Xin's aunt Tai Si to Xiqi!
So, now when Fei Zhongyouhun said that the Queen of Xibo was ill-behaved, Emperor Xin immediately believed it.
"Chao Tian, go and capture the rebel Xibohou, the rebel! If there is any resistance, kill it on the spot!" Emperor Xin roared with a blue face.
Chao Tian was originally from an ordinary family, but by chance, he learned a good martial arts.
After being discovered by Emperor Xin, under the strong promotion of Emperor Xin, he gradually became promoted from an ordinary guard to a commander of the guard. Later, Yin Poxie, the former imperial guard commander, was exiled to the frontier by Emperor Xin for some reason. Chao Tian was appointed as the president of the imperial guards by Emperor Xin, and the commander of all imperial guards in the imperial city.
Therefore, Chao Tian is also considered a die-hard confidant of Emperor Xin. Even in the court, the dispute over the slave human rights bill was in full swing, Chao Tian still persisted in protecting Emperor Xin's palace without compromising with those reactionary forces at all.
When he heard that Emperor Xin wanted to capture Jichang, Chao Tian didn't ask much. After taking the order, the soldiers rushed straight to the outside of Chao Ge's city to kill him.
In the other side, Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, was reluctant to part with his ministers at the ten-mile long pavilion, and said goodbye. After lingering for a long time, under the cool breeze, Ji Chang also woke up three points of the wine.
Suddenly, he woke up and made trouble after drinking. Ji Chang didn't care about dealing with the ministers anymore, so he quickly ordered the generals of the family to set off and run away quickly.
After all, he is an old man. Although he can still ride a horse, Ji Chang's speed is not fast. Before he could drive out ten miles, he was caught up by Chao Tian behind him.
After measuring the comparison of the strength of our enemies and us in my heart, Ji Chang was a bachelor, and ordered his subordinates to return to Xiqi quickly. He also told him to respond to the matter. Ji Chang then faced Chao Tian on his own.
The imperial edict said to capture Ji Chang, but it did not say that he wanted to capture Ji Chang's subordinates.
Seeing that the main culprit was already silenced, Chao Tian didn't want to cause trouble and did not bind Ji Chang, so he just took Ji Chang back and went back to Chaoge.
The slave owners of all sizes had just returned from farewell to Ji Chang. They were gathering in groups of three or five, ten or eight in a crowd of people gathered together to celebrate, but they saw that Ji Chang, the Xibo Hou, was taken back to the capital by Chao Tian. The clever ones had already reported to Huang Feihu, Shang Rong, Jizi and other court officials.
"It must be Fei Zhong and Youhun, who wanted to frame the King of Xian. After returning, he said bad things about the King of Xibo in front of the emperor. Otherwise, how could he take the King of Xian back to Chaoge?"
After reacting, the civil and military officials of the court immediately came outside the palace, organized an illegal gathering, and strongly demanded to meet with His Majesty Emperor Xin.
All the civil and military officials of the court came to meet him, but Emperor Xin had no choice but to Xuan everyone into the palace.
The emperor's anger was soon found out, and the court officials also looked ugly.
You old man, why are you so tired when you are idle? You dare to talk about the luck of my Shang Dynasty. Why do you really think you are the Holy Emperor Fuxi?
It turns out that although these court officials had a very consistent opinion on the issue of opposing the slave human rights bill, most of the court officials were still very loyal to the Shang Dynasty. Therefore, they were still disgusted with Ji Chang's indecision on the fortunes of the Shang Dynasty.
Your Xibo Marquis said that the Shang Dynasty would be divided into different generations and the emperor would not die well, but he also said that you had a good ending. Could it be that you really want to rebel?
But now, just using the opposition to the slave bill to suppress Emperor Xin's arrogance, the court officials did not want Emperor Xin to take this opportunity to counterattack.
After all, the Shang Dynasty is not the only one of us slave owners.
Therefore, even though they knew it was unreasonable, the court officials still argued, "The innate number was performed by the ancient sage emperor Fuxi, and it was not made by Ji Chang. If it was not accurate, it would be based on the data and could only say that there was a problem with this method; if it was really accurate, it would be that Ji Chang Bingzhong said frankly, and it would not be considered a deception of the emperor. Therefore, please ask Your Majesty to pardon Ji Chang for no sin!"
"I scolded the next door! Fortune telling is actually better than me! It's simply, it's outrageous!"
"If I do something wrong, I will be called a fool by you, a group of bastards! Even if I am determined to provide some benefits to the vast slave class, I will be called a great Shang Dynasty by you, a group of bastards, and I will be called a forgetful ancestor by you. Being really not human inside and outside!"
"But Ji Chang's fortune-telling is good, but it's not accurate. He said it was a problem of method, but he actually pushed the mistake to the Holy Emperor Fuxi; occasionally he became a gentleman. It's also you who is really gods, and you who is ghosts, so it's all right! These bastard ministers are so damn talented!"
Thinking of this, Emperor Xin's aura! He was so angry that he was so angry that he penetrated into the sky. He didn't listen to the court officials' arguments, so he ordered Chao Tian to push Ji Chang out and chop him up first.
Seeing that the emperor was not coming to Taiwan and the matter was going to be big, the ministers were a little stunned.
After all, Emperor Xin is an orthodox emperor, but he is protected by the legendary turtle aura. If the tiger's body is shocked, the invisible murderous aura will be quite powerful and will definitely shock more than 90% of the court officials.
After a while of fear, in the end, it was better than Ganxin's heart and his mind turned faster! He had an idea when his eyes turned.
But I heard that Nabigan made a speech, "Your Majesty, I am not pleading for Ji Chang, but for Your Majesty, you and our Great Shang Dynasty, thinking about it! Ji Chang has always been famous for his virtuousness. If Your Majesty kills him for a small matter, it will be difficult to convince the public. It will really damage Your Majesty's reputation of wise and powerful!"
"Well, this is still like a human word!" When Emperor Xin heard this, although he didn't say anything, he felt a little relieved and his anger was extinguished.
Seeing that Emperor Xin seemed to have a little anger, Bigan immediately set off the railway while it was hot, "Why don't your Majesty let Ji Chang do another fortune? If he is correct, he will forgive his death penalty; if he is not accurate, he will be punished with two crimes and behead him. In this way, I think the people of the world will also accept it!"
Seeing this, the other ministers hurriedly expressed their conspiracy, saying that Prime Minister Bi Gan said it was reasonable.
After measuring in his heart for a while, Emperor Xin also felt that it would be best to be able to kill Ji Chang with confidence! Besides, even if Ji Chang can calculate it correctly, so what? I have a trick to deal with him.
Emperor Xin nodded, which was accurate.
Escape from death, Xibo Hou Jichang was also cautious and jumping around, as if he had eighteen living rabbits in his stomach.
