It is a very difficult thing to continue the lifeline of the Shang Dynasty under the general trend of destiny. Talking is not enough, you have to do it. Many, many things need to be done.
For this purpose, Cheng Peng asked the vixen who transformed into Concubine Yang to help. Shen Qi went to the palace to meet Queen Jiang, stated his interests, and got an autograph letter from her. Then he rushed to Dong Bohou's fiefdom at high speed overnight and met with Queen Jiang.
Queen Jiang’s father, Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu.
"Is this happening?!" When he learned that Doctor Fei Zhong had colluded with someone and sent Jiang Huan, who was from his own territory, to pretend to be his own general to assassinate the emperor in order to frame him, Jiang Huanchu jumped up in fright.
"The Emperor...believes it?"
"If your Majesty believes it, it will not be me alone, but the army led by King Wu Cheng." Cheng Peng said kindly, "The Marquis is your Majesty's father-in-law and the prince's grandfather. Don't say that the Great Shang Dynasty is currently impregnable.
, even if the whole world rebels, your majesty will definitely be the one who supports your majesty until the end. If your majesty doesn’t even believe in your majesty, who can you trust?"
This was extremely reasonable, and Jiang Huanchu was very happy and relaxed immediately.
"Then... Your Majesty, Xingye, has come here. What do you want to teach me?"
Seeing that he seemed carefree, Cheng Peng couldn't help but smile sarcastically: "Honored Lord, don't you think this matter is over like this?"
"ah?"
"That person has such power that he can let a dignified official risk the crime of deceiving the king to help him frame you; he has such a powerful person under his command that he can kill Fei Zhong who is under heavy guard... Do you think that if he attacks
I have made up my mind to deal with you, how sure are you that I can deal with you?"
Jiang Huanchu was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully, and his face gradually turned pale.
He can become one of the four great princes and command a land thousands of miles away, so naturally he will not be a mediocre person. I never thought about these things before because it happened in a hurry and I didn't have time to think about it carefully. Now I think about it slowly and think through all the key points one by one.
Getting more and more scared.
Not to mention how much energy it takes to provoke a high-ranking official like Fei Zhong to risk his own life and annihilation to help him, just someone who can kill Fei Zhong under heavy guard and walk away in a hurry.
Assassin, there is no way he, Jiang Huanchu, can stop him!
If that person fails one plan and then tries another, or if his skills are not good enough and he directly resorts to martial arts, can he really guarantee that he will always get away with it?
Placing one's wealth and life on the enemy's incompetence is something only an idiot would do!
"Your Majesty is wise and will never be fooled by villains..."
"Honored lord, at this moment, heaven knows and earth knows, gods know, ghosts know, you know and I know, so there is no need to say those beautiful words!" Cheng Peng interrupted Jiang Huanchu rudely, saying what was more a comfort to himself than a defense, "
If your Majesty is truly unmoved, a civil servant will come with a reward to reassure you. He sent me here not just to inform you of this matter!"
Jiang Huanchu smiled bitterly and asked, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty gave the Marquis three choices." Of course, what Cheng Peng said could not be an order from Emperor Xin, but a plan discussed by everyone. "The first way, if the Marquis is willing, Your Majesty can make the matter public.
Tell the world in a big way, maybe that person will have some scruples and stop attacking the noble prince."
"Absolutely not! If you tell the world, that person will indeed not do anything openly, but I am afraid that if you tell the world today, the assassin will come to your door tomorrow... No, no!"
Cheng Peng smiled and then said: "The second way is that the lord can enter the court as an official by virtue of his status as the head of the state. Your Majesty will arrange reliable personnel to protect the lord."
"This... Dongbohou territory has a lot of affairs, I... I'm afraid I won't be able to leave..."
Seeing Jiang Huanchu's hesitant and embarrassed look, Cheng Peng secretly sneered in his heart - what nonsense "there are too many things to do, I can't get away"! It's just that this guy is afraid that Di Xin will already be suspicious of him, and he is afraid that he will be imprisoned after entering the capital.
That’s all.
"Then there is only the last way left." Cheng Peng paused for a while, whetted Jiang Huanchu's appetite, and then said slowly, "Please make an announcement to the four princes, and let the prince initiate it. All four princes will come to Beijing to work.
By then the four major princes will be in the same place, and the combined security forces of the four families will be enough to resist any assassins. Moreover, because they are together, all kinds of external affairs can be easily handled, and they will not affect government affairs too much."
Jiang Huanchu frowned, neither agreeing nor rejecting, and fell into deep thought.
Who is the person who wants to deal with him? In fact, he is not ignorant - he can instigate the doctor Fei Zhong to take risks, and target him as Dongbohou as soon as he takes action. His identity and power are naturally of great importance; or he is the one who is responsible for the Shangtang family.
The princes and nobles whom Emperor Xin was dissatisfied with were either one of the other three princes.
The former is unlikely. If there are powerful people in the Shangtang family, the first is naturally the late old Prime Minister Shang Rong, and the second is His Majesty's uncle, Yaxiang - now the Prime Minister - Bigan;
The third is His Majesty's brother Wei Ziqi. Others such as Ji Zi, Wei Zi Yan and others do not have this power. Shang Rong is dead, so there is no consideration; Bigan is a loyal and reliable pure minister, and it is impossible for him to do such a thing.
This kind of thing, the only possibility for Wei Ziqi - if he dares to do this, he is looking for death! Di Xin may be merciful to other people, but he will never show mercy to this brother! Wei Ziqi doesn't look like a
A person who is joking with his own life, so he will never take such a risk.
Since there is no suspect among the Shangtang family, then the suspect is naturally among the remaining three princes. If according to the third path, the four princes live and work together in Chaoge, then even if the suspect
He hates himself to the core, and will never take action easily again - they are together, and if something happens to him, he will naturally not be able to escape suspicion. There are many careerists in the world who risk the lives of their men, but none of them risk their own lives.
.So this last way seems risky, but it is actually the safest.
After thinking about it, Jiang Huanchu straightened his face and promised to call the four princes to live and work in Beijing tomorrow to show their respect. He also said that he would be the first to go to Beijing and set an example.
After solving this important matter, he felt much better. Just as he was about to say thank you, he saw Cheng Peng take out another yellow silk scroll.
"Your Majesty's work is done, it's time to do mine." Cheng Peng looked at Jiang Huanchu's confused look and couldn't help but smile, "Sign a contract with me and become a reserve god!"
Jiang Huanchu was stunned immediately.
"Your Majesty can protect you for a while, but he may not be able to protect you for life. You must have noticed that the person who wants to deal with you is very powerful. No matter how careful you are, you may not be able to sit back and relax." Seeing Jiang Huanchu sigh and nod, Cheng Peng
He smiled more calmly and kindly, "This watch is magical and unpredictable. As long as you sign your name, you will become a god after death and go to work in the heaven. Although it is said that heaven and man are separated forever, gods are gods after all, and they may still be able to express their gratitude to the queen and the emperor.
The two princes will take care of one or two..."
Jiang Huanchu had previously dismissed the Fengshen Table, but when Cheng Peng said the last sentence, his face changed slightly and he fell into deep thought.
For an old man, he may not care about money, power, reputation, or even life, but he rarely cares about his descendants. This is the instinct of human beings to continue their genetic transmission, which is engraved in
The instinct in DNA, except for a very few heartless people, no one can disobey this instinct.
Jiang Huanchu is naturally no exception.
So after thinking about it over and over, although his face was full of doubts, he still picked up his pen and signed his name on the list of gods.
It's just that compared to Shang Rong, who is confident enough to write about the Three Yuan Emperor, Jiang Huanchu is not confident enough after all. He has some self-knowledge and knows that he will never be qualified for a high-ranking god, so he goes straight to a lower-status one.
The five-town mountain god chose Dongzhen Yishan (Yimeng Mountain), the first of the five towns.
After solving this major matter, Cheng Peng left with satisfaction, leaving Jiang Huanchu, who was uneasy and uneasy, wondering what was going on.
But no matter what, early the next morning, he still announced to the world that he formally invited all the princes to come to the capital with him to work, to show that everyone wanted to return home, and he took the lead in entering the capital when all the princes in the world were still wavering.
, turning the temporary residence that is usually used when visiting the DPRK into a formal official place.
Emperor Xin naturally didn't know about the secret meeting between Cheng Peng and Jiang Huanchu, so after thinking about it for a moment, he thought that his father-in-law was going out of his way to support him and show his loyalty to him. He was immediately moved and not only personally chose a new office for Jiang Huanchu
He also wrote a plaque with the words "Pillar Stone of the Country" in his handwriting and named the official residence "Pillar Stone Hall".
After this was done, the princes in the world naturally could no longer persist. Except for some princes who really lived in too remote places, all the princes, big and small, came to the capital. This not only made the ministers loyal to the Shang Dynasty smile with joy, but also made the officials who were loyal to the Shang Dynasty smile.
Chaoge City became more prosperous.
For a time, the majesty and majesty of this glorious Shang Dynasty reached its peak, as if it could last forever.
The only players who knew the plot, Cheng Peng, who was holding the God of Conferment Watch, sighed secretly as he looked at the purple energy of luck above Chao Ge, which had temporarily risen but was still declining.
