It was okay if Hou Tu didn't say anything, but after she said this, Zhunti felt even more uncomfortable!
There are three emperors and five emperors, and there are ten emperors and military masters in history. Three of them belong to the Western religion. It should be natural that the Western religion enjoys the incense of the human race!
But because of the Three Purities, Western religion has little popularity among the human race!
When he thought of this, Zhunti decided to let Sanqing make up for the Western religion!
"Junior sister Houtu, senior brother, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"
After Zhunti finished speaking, he left here in one step and headed to the East China Sea!
Seeing that Zhunti had not returned to teach in the West, Hou Tu was a little puzzled, so he asked Zu Xiong Xiaobai in his arms:
"Xiaobai, what do you think Zhunti did to pick up the two senior brothers?"
Zu Xiong Xiaobai showed a meaningful smile, and then said:
"The Sanqing almost cut off the popularity of the Western religion in the human race. Now the Conferring Gods and Tribulation is mainly aimed at the religious tradition of the Sanqing. Naturally, the Second Sage of the West wants to take revenge on the Sanqing and gain some benefits!"
There are many people in the two sects of Chanjie who have a predestined relationship with the Western sect. Zhunti Jieyin is obviously taking advantage of the opportunity to confer a tribulation on the gods and fight against the autumn wind!
After the matter was settled, Hou Tu left Hongyun Cave with Zu Xiong Xiaobai in his arms, returned to the underworld, and ate the melons of Sanqing and the Second Saint of the West!
…
On the Chaoge side, Dongbohou Jiang Hengchu brought five Donglu princes to Chaoge.
He brought people to the palace to see him, but every time he was stopped by the guards from the palace, so he never saw Emperor Xin!
Emperor Xin and the civil and military ministers of Dashang did it on purpose to put them aside and ignore them!
Originally, Emperor Xin went to court three or four times a month, but Jiang Hengchu and the others were stopped outside the palace time and time again.
After Jiang Hengchu was stopped several times, he also knew that it was Emperor Xin and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs who were making things difficult for them, but for the sake of the land of Donglu, they had to see Emperor Xin!
Jiang Hengchu knew that it would be difficult for him to enter the palace, let alone see Di Xin!
But Jiang Hengchu has also learned to be smart. He can't get into the palace, but someone can get him into the palace!
One day, it was the day when Emperor Xin went to court again. Jiang Hengchu and five princes came outside the palace again.
When Yin Pobai and a group of military generals went to court, they just met Jiang Hengchu and his party, and couldn't help laughing:
"Dong Bohou, you are so perseverant!"
Faced with Yin Pobai's ridicule, Jiang Hengchu and the other five Donglu princes were also furious.
But this is Chaoge, and Jiang Hengchu has no choice but to deal with the defeat of Yin.
At this moment, Bigan also came to court and saw Yin Pobai and a group of generals laughing at Jiang Hengchu.
Bigan felt that this move was indecent and admonished him in the tone of an elder:
"It's ruined. After all, Dongbohou is also the father of the queen and a relative of a great merchant. Why should you laugh at him!"
Yin Pobai is the surname of the Great Shang Kingdom - the surname Yin. Like Yin Shiniang, Yin Pobai is a branch of the Shang royal family. However, due to the weak blood relationship, he lost his surname and could only use the surname Yin!
And Bigan, the orthodox Shang Wang family, is naturally regarded as the elder of Yin Ruipai!
After Bigan resolved the farce, he glanced at Jiang Hengchu and shook his head helplessly, then entered the palace, followed by Yin Pobai and the others to go to court!
As for Jiang Hengchu and others, they also wanted to follow them into the palace, but unfortunately they were stopped by the guards.
But Jiang Hengchu is not in a hurry, he has already seen his daughter Jiang Wenqiang coming to pick him up!
Queen Jiang knew that it had been more than two months since Jiang Hengchu came to Chaoge. He had been stopped by guards five or six times before going to court, and became a joke among the officials of the great merchants!
Queen Jiang knew that it was Emperor Xin who did not want to see Jiang Hengchu, but as a woman, she could see her father being ridiculed many times.
So even if Queen Jiang knew that bringing Jiang Hengchu to court would displease Emperor Xin, she could only come to pick up Jiang Hengchu and the others!
When the generals of the palace guards saw Queen Jiang coming in person, they finally hesitated before letting Jiang Hengchu and the others in!
Nine imperial palaces...
As soon as Jiang Hengchu and several other princes entered the hall, the atmosphere in the hall felt wrong.
Many ministers collectively gave Prime Minister Fang and Brother Fang Bi a look.
Prime Minister Fang and brother Fang Bi immediately understood what the other ministers meant. They drew their swords and shouted:
"Dong Bohou and the other princes, if there is no order from the king, you should wait outside the palace.
If you still don’t leave the hall, don’t blame us two brothers for being ruthless with their weapons!”
Why did the other ministers signal to Prime Minister Fang and the two Fang Bi brothers to make things difficult for Dong Bohou Jiang Hengchu?
Mainly because Fang and his two brothers are the generals of these nine palaces. They can use weapons at will in this hall and can make things difficult for Jiang Hengchu in a clear and righteous manner!
A prince next to Jiang Hengchu pointed at the ministers and scolded:
"You have gone too far to deceive others. You are just ministers of the Great Shang, and we are the feudal princes!"
These princes usually enjoy emperor-like treatment in their own princely states, but now that they have come to Chaoge, they are being criticized everywhere!
The words of that prince immediately aroused the anger of the military officials. King Wucheng Huang Feihu angrily rebuked:
"We are indeed just the ministers of the Great Shang. Aren't you princes the ministers of the Great Shang?"
Huang Feihu dug a hole for them. If that prince claimed to be a fiefdom prince, he could accuse him of being a rebel and then directly capture and kill him!
Just as the prince was about to answer, Jiang Hengchu stopped him and answered first:
"King Wu Cheng, we, the feudal lords, are naturally ministers of the Great Shang!"
As Dong Bohou, Jiang Hengchu controlled the two hundred princes of Donglu. He was not a fool. He could see at a glance that Huang Feihu was digging a hole for himself and others!
If that prince had said something wrong just now, he might not have even thought of leaving Chaoge standing!
"Dongbohou, since you are a subject of Dashang, you should act in accordance with Dashang's rules!
If you are not summoned by the king, you should wait outside the Jiujian Palace!"
After Huang Feihu finished speaking, he led his military officials to expel Jiang Hengchu and the others out of the nine palaces!
The civil and military ministers all understood that Emperor Xin did not want to see Jiang Hengchu and the others.
If Di Xin wanted to see Jiang Hengchu and the others, they wouldn't have been intercepted many times by the palace guards!
So as long as I and others blast Jiang Hengchu and others out of the nine palaces, even if they arrive at the palace, they still won't be able to see Emperor Xin.
When Jiang Hengchu was about to be kicked out of the nine-room palace, Queen Jiang appeared outside the palace with her maid and said:
"King Wucheng, ministers, Dong Bohou is my father-in-law, please give me a favor!"
Queen Jiang also knew not to interfere in government affairs, but Jiang Hengchu was her father.
She knew her father Jiang Hengchu's temperament, if she didn't see Di Xin again today.
Jiang Hengchu is likely to return to the East Huai Kingdom and lead two hundred princes to prevent the great merchants from building "business roads", and may even raise an army to rebel!
"this……"
As soon as Queen Jiang opened her mouth, the civil and military ministers didn't know what to do!
"King Wu Cheng, please let this matter go!"
Bigan also spoke. He felt that this matter should be dealt with. We can't let people keep Jiang Hengchu out every time!
The Prime Minister spoke before Qian, and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs immediately returned to his original position, waiting for Emperor Xin to come to court!
Queen Jiang did not enter the Nine Rooms Palace, but waited outside the palace in case something unexpected happened later!
A moment later, Di Xin arrived at the Nine Rooms Palace. He looked at Jiang Hengchu and his party below. He already knew that it was Queen Jiang who brought them into the palace and into the Nine Rooms Palace!
"Dongbohou, you and these Donglu princes should return to your fiefdoms quickly!"
Di Xin naturally knew why Jiang Hengchu and the others came, so he didn’t want to waste time!
Jiang Hengchu and the other five Donglu princes did not retreat, but collectively bowed:
"We sincerely request your Majesty to stop building trade roads for the sake of the peace and prosperity of the princes and countries of Donglu!"
Jiang Hengchu and the princes of Donglu knew that once the trade road was completely built and connected to the princes of Donglu, it would definitely be bad news for the princes of Donglu!
Di Xin ignored Jiang Hengchu and asked Jiang Ziya:
"Jiang Ziya, you were once from Donglu. What do you think of this business philosophy?"
Ever since Jiang Ziya entered business as an official, he has been serving as an official under Prime Minister Bigan.
After several years of investigation, Bigan also knew that Jiang Ziya was a talented person, so he met with Emperor Xin in private and said that Jiang Ziya had great talent and should be put into important use.
Because of Bi Gan's recommendation, Di Xin also planned to test Jiang Ziya!
Jiang Ziya was named by Di Xin, so he didn't panic at all, because Bi Gan had already told him about the recommendation!
Jiang Ziya walked out from among the civil servants, bowed to Emperor Xin Zuo and saluted:
"Back to the king, my minister Jiang Shang feels that although building trade roads will waste people and money, it has many benefits!"
It is an indisputable fact that building a highway from Chaoge that runs through all the countries in Donglu will consume huge financial and manpower resources!
Di Xin did not deny this and signaled Jiang Ziya to continue.
After receiving Di Xin's approval, Jiang Ziya continued:
"Although the Dongyi tribes were defeated by General Fei Lian a few years ago, once the Dongyi tribes regain their strength, they will definitely take action, and they will surely bring disaster to the land of Great Shang and the land of Donglu!
Once the business roads are built, our army of Great Shang can use the business roads to march quickly to resist the various tribes of Dongyi and protect the territory of Great Shang and the territory of Donglu!"
When Jiang Ziya said this, Jiang Hengchu and other Donglu princes looked at each other.
Every time the Dongyi tribes sent troops, they mainly targeted the territory of the Shang Dynasty, and rarely sent troops to the territories of the Donglu princes.
Moreover, the Donglu princes have many transactions with the Dongyi tribes, so that the relationship between the Dongyi tribes and their Donglu princes is not very good, but it is not bad either!
Therefore, the princes do not need Chaoge to protect their land in Donglu, let alone any business channels.
Moreover, if the business path is successfully cultivated, who knows what Di Xin will use the business path for?
Just when Jiang Hengchu and several Donglu princes looked at each other, Jiang Ziya said again:
"In addition, in addition to being used for marching to resist Dongyi, the trade road can also be used for trade between Chaoge and Donglu!
I have a sworn brother named Song Yiren, who is from Chao Ge.
Back then, my sworn brother went from Chaoge to Donglu to trade. He had to go through muddy and evil roads, over mountains and rivers, but he suffered a lot and lost a lot of business!
If the business road is established, the trade between Dashang and Chaoge will be more frequent, thus mutual benefit and mutual assistance will be achieved, and the relationship between Chaoge and Donglu will be enhanced!
All in all, my minister Jiang Shang believes that even if it wastes people and money, this business path must be cultivated!"
After Jiang Ziya finished speaking, he wisely returned to the group of ministers. Many ministers nodded in agreement with Jiang Ziya's statement!
The saying of later generations is that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. It is also very suitable to apply to today's big businessmen.
If the great merchants wanted to annex Donglu, they would have to cultivate this trade path!
Di Xin was very satisfied with Jiang Ziya's answer, and then turned his attention to Jiang Hengchu and the others, saying:
"Dong Bohou, what else do you have to say now?"
Jiang Hengchu did not rush to answer, but was watching Di Xin's expression to guess what the other party was thinking!
The other five Donglu princes saw that Jiang Hengchu had not spoken for a long time, so they responded first:
"On behalf of the two hundred princes of Donglu, your Majesty, your ministers and others, please think twice and suspend the construction of trade roads, so as to ensure the tranquility of the two hundred princes of Donglu!"
The threat of trade roads to the princes of Donglu was too great. They were afraid that Emperor Xin would use trade roads to attack them in the future, so they would never agree to the construction of trade roads!
Two hundred princes from Donglu?
As soon as this came out, the atmosphere in the entire Jiujian Palace was not right!
Di Xin could feel the threat in the other party's words, and immediately became furious, stood up suddenly and shouted angrily:
"There are two hundred princes of Donglu, are you threatening my king?"
Emperor Xin shouted angrily, and the civil servants retreated, while the military ministers put their hands on their swords and slowly stepped forward.
"Except for Dong Bohou being captured alive, the rest will be killed without mercy!"
Emperor Xin gave an order, and the military officials drew their swords one after another, stepped forward step by step, and surrounded Jiang Hengchu and the princes of Donglu!
The prince who provoked Emperor Xin before pretended to be calm when he saw the current situation and threatened:
"Di Xin, you tyrant, if we cannot return to the Donglu territory safely and unharmed, the two hundred princes of Donglu will rebel!"
This threat caused the military ministers to temporarily stop and wait for Emperor Xin to make a decision!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is a pity that the two hundred princes of Donglu cannot threaten Di Xin, he said with a smile:
"I want to see if the two hundred princes of Donglu dare to rebel. I will kill them without mercy!"
Emperor Xin gave an order, and the military officials launched an offensive directly!
Huang Feihu faced Jiang Hengchu with a sword. Because he wanted to capture the opponent alive, he was a little wary of his moves!
But when Yin was defeated, Lu Xiong led other generals to attack the princes of Donglu, using all their moves to kill the enemy!
Queen Jiang, who was outside the Jiujian Palace, heard something was wrong in the main hall. She was about to rush in, but civil servants stopped her!
She could only watch everything inside from outside the palace, watching Huang Feihu capture Jiang Hengchu alive with the cooperation of some generals!
As for the five princes brought by Jiang Hengchu, they were hacked to death by the military officials!
This result was actually doomed when Emperor Xin got angry. This is the palace, and the only trump card of the princes of Donglu is the threat from the two hundred princes of Donglu!
When Emperor Xin ignored the two hundred princes of Donglu, if these five princes of Donglu angered Emperor Xin, they would die!
After the chaos in the Nine Palaces ended, the civil servants no longer stopped Queen Jiang.
Queen Jiang later came to the palace and saw Huang Feihu put the sword on Jiang Hengchu's neck. She knelt down in front of Di Xin and begged:
"I, I beg your Majesty to forgive my father, I am willing to take the punishment for my father, even if it means killing!"
Queen Jiang is the wife of Emperor Xin and the daughter of Jiang Hengchu.
She wanted to ensure the majesty of Emperor Xin and maintain the filial piety of women, so being punished for her father was the only way!
Di Xin walked up to Queen Jiang, helped her up, and then said to Jiang Hengchu:
"Dong Bohou, for the sake of the queen, I will not embarrass you today and allow you to return to Donghuai!
But if you dare to rebel, don’t blame me for being ruthless and sending troops to attack your Donghuai Kingdom!"
After Di Xin finished speaking, he motioned to Huang Feihu to let go of Jiang Hengchu.
"My lord, thank you so much for your kindness!"
After Jiang Hengchu bowed to his emperor Xinzuo and saluted, he glanced at the five princes who were hacked to death with random knives.
Jiang Hengchu regretted so much now why he brought these scammers to Chaoge.
These five cheaters actually dared to threaten Di Xin in the palace. Aren't they looking for death?
Fortunately, I have a good daughter who begged for mercy, otherwise I would have been tricked to death by these five scammers!
