The four princes narrowly escaped death, all thanks to the advice of the Sumei people. Su Daji, who already had a reputation as a virtuous man, was praised and convinced by all the ministers.
Grand Master Du Yuanxian, Mei Bo and others had all been saved by Daji, and they were grateful. This time Daji saved four princes and saved Chaoge from disaster. It was a great achievement. At that time, all the ministers asked King Zhou to appoint Su Daji.
For the queen.
King Zhou had already had this intention and was overjoyed when he heard the memorial. So under the witness of the four great uncles, he made Su Daji his queen and took charge of the harem.
In the Shouxian Palace, Queen Su Daji summoned Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu. After the ceremony, Jiang Huanchu said: "I thank the empress for saving my life. I wonder what the empress has ordered me to do."
Su Daji screened away the maids on her left and right, and solemnly said: "For Wu Geng's sake, I specially summoned Bohou to ask for a favor."
Jiang Huanchu's heart moved and he asked: "Your Majesty, do you want Wu Geng to go to Donglu?"
Su Daji said: "Bohou is really wise. Fei Zhong and You Hun killed Queen Jiang and forced Yin Jiao away. The two princes Yin Hong were afraid of Prince Wu Geng's revenge, so they secretly wanted to harm the prince.
Life. Although I tried my best to protect them, it is easy to hide from open guns and difficult to guard against hidden arrows. Now the two highnesses are missing. Wu Geng is the only bloodline of the king. What if there is something bad and the Chengtang Sheji is in turmoil? How can I pay tribute to the ancestors of the past kings?
Explain?"
Jiang Huanchu immediately scolded Fei Zhong and You Hun, feeling deep hatred for them for killing his daughter. He shouted angrily: "Since Wu Geng is the king's only bloodline, can the king just let those two traitors kill him?"
Su Daji smiled bitterly and said: "Because Queen Jiang was falsely accused of treason, the king ordered to be tortured. The queen could not bear the torture, so she died to prove her will. Several highnesses were dissatisfied with the king. Yin Jiao and Yin Hong once clashed with the king with knives, which made the king want to kill the prince. Wu Geng
I was also implicated, the king disliked me, and I almost died, but fortunately I tried my best to save him."
"But your Majesty loves Fei Zhong, especially You Hunri. To be honest, it was Fei Zhong's idea to harm the lives of the four princes this time. I am deeply afraid that they will not die in their desire to kill His Highness, and may make mistakes. So I hope
Bohou took Wu Geng to Donglu to avoid trouble, and when the situation improves in the future, it will not be too late to return to Chaoge."
Dong Bohou thought that the purpose of coming to Chaoge this time was to take Wu Geng away. Even if there was no edict from King Zhou, he would still find a way. Previously, he was afraid of King Zhou's obstruction, but now Queen Su has taken the initiative, and she must be on the King's side.
She will make arrangements, which saves me a lot of trouble.
"Don't worry, Queen. Wu Geng is my grandson. How can I not protect him? For so many years, Empress Meng has taken care of me. I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of my little daughter!" After that, he gave a big salute.
Su Daji smiled and said: "You don't have to be polite, sir. Queen Jiang and I have always been on good terms in the past. Although Wu Geng is not my biological son, I actually feel the same affection for mother and son. If the situation had not come to this, I would not be willing to let him go."
In the evening, King Zhou came to the Shouxian Palace. After Su Daji came to meet him, she talked about the matter with King Zhou and begged: "Ms. Dongbohou misses her daughter so much that she becomes terminally ill. Dongbohou begs Wu Geng to be allowed to
Go to Donglu to stay temporarily, comfort the old lady's thoughts about her daughter, and ask for your permission."
King Zhou didn't have a deep affection for Wu Geng's father and son, and he wanted Su Daji to have another son so that he could inherit the throne in the future. When he heard this, he didn't feel reluctant to give up, but after thinking about it, he pondered: "Dong Bohou
The family is still worried about the death of Queen Jiang, and it is unknown whether Wu Geng resents the solitary king. The solitary king is afraid that Wu Geng will go to Donglu, and he will take the opportunity to use Donglu's troops to cause trouble."
Su Daji had already made a plan, and gave King Zhou a cup of fragrant tea, and advised: "Since Jiang Huanchu took the initiative to request, and the King agreed, if it happens again in the future, people in the world will despise him for harboring evil intentions. Besides, Wu Geng is the King's son after all, and in the world
Is there any reason for a son to attack his father? I heard that Jiang Wenhuan only has one daughter, so the king might as well grant a marriage to Wu Geng so that the Dongbohou family and the king can renew their marriage. In this way, there will be no more trouble for Donglu."
King Zhou felt relieved, hugged Su Daji, sat on the couch, and said with a smile: "The queen is not only unparalleled in beauty, but also has extraordinary knowledge. She is truly a good wife to a few people!"
A few days later, Wu Geng packed up his things and bid farewell to Su Daji and all the old ministers with tears. In the court song, he did not feel much family affection from King Zhou. When Queen Jiang died, he was young, and he was always treated by
Su Daji's adoptees naturally have deep feelings.
On the other side, Jiang Ziya looked back with a smile on his face, another bitter look on his face, sighed, and walked around the yard.
"Uncle Master, what's wrong? You shook me so hard that I felt dizzy!" Nezha grabbed Jiang Ziya's arm to stop him from spinning around.
"Today Prince Wu Geng went to Donglu with Dongbohou and got engaged to Dongbohou's granddaughter. I have a premonition that this matter will be extremely detrimental to Xiqi, but I am a low-ranking official and cannot stop it."
Nezha shouted: "Let's just go and snatch Wu Geng back so that he can't go to Donglu."
Jiang Ziya's eyes lit up and he said happily: "This is a way. After snatching him back, take him to Kunlun Mountain and ask a certain senior brother to accept him as his disciple. I will directly remove the firepower from the bottom of the cauldron so that the inheritance of the luck of the Shang Dynasty can be passed on to me.
Feed back Xiqi. In the past, Wu Geng stayed in the royal city and was protected by the dragon energy, so it was difficult to make a move. Now that he has come out, it just gives us a chance."
At that moment, Jiang Ziya ordered Ma to look after the house, and he and Nezha left the city together, walked for a while, and guarded the road that Dongbohou must pass. As soon as Dongbohou and others arrived, they would immediately rob them.
Not long after Dongbohou left, Xibohou Jichang also said goodbye and returned to his country, and King Zhou made a report.
After Ji Chang left, Fei Zhong went to King Zhou and advised him: "Ji Chang may be loyal on the outside, but treacherous on the inside. He uses his sharp words to confuse the ministers. His face is full of duplicity, but his heart is not good. I am afraid that if Ji Chang is allowed to return home, the army will lose control."
The hardships of holding the gun will be the same as the hardships of wearing the armor. The people will be panicked and the capital will be in chaos. As the saying goes, letting the dragon into the sea and letting the tiger return to the mountain will inevitably lead to regrets."
King Zhou was displeased and said: "The edict of pardon has been issued and everyone knows it. How can there be any reason to contradict it? Furthermore, the queen and the queen have asked each other, and the lonely king has already agreed. How can he bear to lose it?"
Fei Zhong Sanjiao rolled his eyes, his plan came to mind, and he said, "I have a plan to get rid of Ji Chang."
King Zhou said: "What's the plan? Tell me quickly."
Fei Zhong said to him: "After pardoning Ji Chang, he must pay homage to the palace before returning to his homeland, and all the officials will also bid farewell to Ji Chang. I will go to find out whether Chang is true or not. If Chang really serves the country, your majesty will pardon him; if he cheats, he will be executed."
A prosperous head can eliminate future troubles. In this way, Queen Su also explained something."
King Zhou pondered for a moment. For some reason, he instinctively felt disgusted with Ji Chang and Xiqi. He nodded in agreement: "Just act according to your love for your Majesty!"
Early the next morning, Ji Chang came to the Meridian Gate, looked at the palace and bowed to express his gratitude. Then he led his family members out of the west gate and came to the Ten Mile Pavilion.
Hundreds of officials admired him, and Wucheng King Huang Feihu, Mei Bo, Du Yuanxian, Zhao Qi, Wei Zi, Ji Zi, Bigan, etc. all served here for a long time.
Ji Chang dismounted. Huang Feihu and Wei Zi expressed their condolences: "Today the wise prince returns to his country, and I have to wait for a glass of water and wine. Once I come to honor you, I still have a word of blasphemy."
Ji Chang said: "I would like to hear it."
Wei Zi said: "Although the emperor has betrayed virtuous princes, and the virtuous princes have almost lost their lives, but in order to remember the virtues of the ancestors, we must not lose the integrity of our ministers and indulge in heresy. This will not only bring great blessings to our generation, but also to the great blessings of all the people!"
Ji Chang thanked him and said, "I am grateful for the emperor's kindness in pardoning my sins, and I have received the virtue of rebirth from all of you. Although Chang has no teeth, he cannot repay the emperor's kindness. How dare he think of it."
Hundreds of officials held cups and cups. Ji Bo had a large amount and had hundreds of cups to drink. As the saying goes, "there are endless words to say when a close friend comes." They were even more prepared for each other and couldn't let go of each other for a while.
While they were drinking, they saw Fei Zhong and You Hun coming on horseback, bringing their own banquets to say goodbye to Ji Chang.
When all the officials saw Fei You and the two arriving, they were a little displeased, and all of them withdrew and dispersed first.
An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Ji Chang's lips, and he thanked him: "Two adults, what can you do with Chang? I'll send you my best wishes!"
Fei Zhongdao said: "I heard that the worthy marquis has returned honorably. He is humble enough to come here to say goodbye. I am late for something, so I hope to beg for forgiveness."
The three of them had been drinking for several rounds, and Fei Zhong said: "Excuse me, Marquis Xian. Zhong Chang heard that Marquis Xian can perform the innate Eight Diagrams and predict the secrets of Yi. Is this true?"
Ji Chang replied: "The principle of yin and yang has its own fixed number, so how can it be inaccurate? But people can do the opposite and be good at avoiding it, and they can also escape."
Fei Zhong calmly began to lie: "Since I came to power today, my behavior has been chaotic. I don't know what the state affairs are like?"
When Ji Chang was half drunk, he heard the question about the emperor's guilt. He felt happy in his heart. He pretended to frown and sighed: "The country's morale is gloomy, and the country is about to be exhausted. It can only be passed down once and ended, and it will not end well."
Fei Zhong and You Hun looked at each other, each also showing joy. Ji Chang's rebellious words were enough to warrant death.
The three of them raised their glasses again and drank happily, and the atmosphere was lively. After a while, the two of them asked again: "I'm just two of you, but I would also like to ask a few virtuous princes to see what our lives will be like. Can we have a good death?"
Ji Chang immediately calculated a divination in his sleeves. He glanced at the two of them with a strange look on his face. After thinking for a long time, he said: "You two died in a very strange way. In the future, for some unknown reason, you will be wetted by snow and frozen in the ice."
Die inside."
After hearing this, the two of them were furious. They felt that Ji Chang was secretly cursing the two of them in the name of fortune-telling. However, as a smiling and treacherous minister, his face remained calm and he still said with a smile: "I don't know if the wise prince has ever acted like himself."
how?"
Of course Ji Chang knew his destiny clearly. He had calculated it clearly before leaving Xiqi. As long as there were no big changes, there would be no difference. He replied: "I have done this before. Although there are
There will be some disasters, but you can still have a good death."
Fei and You were secretly angry in their hearts. They resisted and drank a few more drinks and left. They cursed on the horse: "This old beast! I died now. I'll go to sleep peacefully. I'll freeze to death later. It's clear."
Calling me "waiting" is really abominable!"
The two of them were angry and hurriedly went to see the emperor and said: "Ji Chang is resentful and insults the emperor with nonsense words. The crime is disrespectful."
King Zhou frowned and said: "This man! The lonely king pardoned him and returned to his country. He did not feel any kindness and instead insulted me. What did he say to insult me?"
Fei Zhongdao: "He once said several times that the country would perish, but this was only passed down once and for all, and your Majesty will not be able to end well."
King Zhou was furious: "How dare you talk nonsense and insult your father? Don't you ask how this old man died?"
Fei Zhong said: "My two ministers also asked him, and he said he died well and went to bed."
King Zhou stood up suddenly, a black blur flashed across his eyes, and he suddenly felt violent in his heart: "Pass the King's decree and order Chao Tian to rush to get it. He immediately ordered the capital to stop evil talk!"
After Ji Chang sent Fei Zhong and You Hun away, he said to himself: "I have calculated correctly that I will be jailed for seven years this time, which will be of great benefit to me. I was about to find a way to cope with the disaster. Just now I made a deliberate mistake.
If you stir up trouble, it will be fulfilled."
Sure enough, a moment later, a horse came galloping over, and Chao Tian shouted on the horse: "House Xibo, stay here, the emperor has an order to return you quickly."
Ji Chang put away his smile and said to all the generals: "I am in danger of escaping now, so you should come back as soon as possible. I will naturally return to my country safely in seven years. I will obey my mother's orders if I pass the Boyi exam, and my brothers will not go to Xiqi."
