The matter of King Shou mentioning poems in the Nuwa Temple was tried hard to cover up by his ministers. After all, this was not a glorious act. If the common people knew about it, there is no telling how it would be spread.
But King Shou didn't care. He didn't think about why he suddenly acted like this. He didn't even think there was anything inappropriate about his poem. Instead, he was depressed after returning to the imperial city. Before, he could use it to pass the time.
The palace songs and dances are now boring and I have no interest in them. I don't even want to go to the morning court, and all my dissatisfaction is almost written on my face.
The Shang Dynasty Prime Minister Bi Gan, a die-hard loyalist of the Shang Dynasty, with noble status and exemplary moral character, was a veteran of three dynasties. He saw the slackness of King Shou in recent times and criticized him outright, which made King Shou angry.
He was so angry that he had no choice but to drown his sorrows in alcohol.
But among these ministers, if there is a loyal person like Bigan, there will naturally be some treacherous ones. Fei Zhong is a treacherous person who is incompatible with Bigan.
Of course, whether he is treacherous or loyal, it all depends on what King Shou thinks. Moreover, the methods adopted by these two people are completely different for different things.
Bigan's strategy and persuasion hope that King Shou will repent and regroup and run the Shang Dynasty, the legacy of his ancestors. However, Fei Zhong's strategy is to "cater". Isn't King Shou unhappy? Think of ways to make him happy.
Isn't that enough? Why did Fei Na talk like a monk and offend King Shou like that?
And this Fei Zhong is actually quite a character. At least he has mastered the art of understanding people's hearts.
King Shou's recent behavior, as well as his behavior in Nuwa Temple, and his depression after returning from Nuwa Temple, made Fei Zhong certain that King Shou was lustful and longing for women. Of course, ordinary women are
She would not be able to catch the eyes of King Shou. At least she must be as beautiful as the wife of General Huang Feihu. Besides, as a man, he is also a man with dirty thoughts. Fei Zhong prides himself on knowing the mentality of King Shou very well.
.
A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a thief, and a thief is not as good as the wife of the person next to you... This kind of dirty and unhealthy idea is what Fei Zhong guessed is what King Shou is thinking now. It is also what he is sure of.
.After all, that’s who he is.
However, Huang Feihu is not easy to offend. His cultivation is really terrifying, and he is a big boss in the army. Fei Zhong cannot afford to offend him. Therefore, he cannot attack Huang Feihu's wife, so he must find another opportunity.
Fei Zhong thought about it. Beauty must be found, and the appearance and figure must be from the top. And ordinary people are not enough. This lacks a layer of freshness. Only those with prominent family backgrounds are safe, and the more prominent, the better. So.
Suddenly, a name came into Fei Zhong's mind.
Jizhou Hou Suhu.
Marquis is a high-ranking title under the princes. It can be regarded as a prince who rules a party. It is just much worse than the four great uncles. However, Su Hu, the Marquis of Jizhou, usually does not show off his mountains and rivers.
She was quite decent, and her reputation in the court was good, just good. But the reason why Fei Zhong fell in love with the Marquis of Jizhou was because Su Hu's family had a daughter named Daji, who was extremely beautiful. Privately, there was Shang.
The reputation of the most beautiful woman in the dynasty.
Therefore, Fei Zhongsi thought over and over again and concluded that Daji should be able to satisfy the evil thoughts in King Shou's heart, so he first found someone to paint a picture to show Daji's lifelike appearance in front of King Shou. He also advised that since the daughter of the Marquis of Jizhou is a Shang
The most beautiful woman in the dynasty, only His Majesty King Longevity is qualified to enjoy her. Which ordinary person dares to marry her? Why don't the king show mercy and recruit her into the palace to serve the king?
Nasty people can naturally hit the mark on the obsessions of equally nasty people. After listening to Fei Zhong's words, King Shou thought about it and felt that she was right. Nuwa is a god, so even if he, King Shou, had the courage,
I don't have the ability to catch it. But this Daji is different. I am the emperor of the world, and when a piece of edict is issued, I have to go to the palace and lie down on the bed to pray for my blessings?
In addition, the portrait presented by Fei Zhong was indeed beautiful, which made King Shou's eyes so petty that he could no longer move his eyes.
Therefore, King Shou stubbornly issued an edict despite the opposition of all the ministers, asking the daughter of Hou Suhu of Jizhou to enter the palace to serve the king.
But this is the wrong time. King Shou was originally a decent king, but he has done a lot of ridiculous things recently. This kind of reputation is difficult to build, but it is extremely easy to destroy it. A few rumors can destroy it.
Scumbag. Therefore, the Marquis of Jizhou does not think it is a good thing to send his precious daughter to the palace.
Relying on the fact that he was also a big official in the imperial court and a large official in border areas, the Marquis of Jizhou thought carefully and declined the edict of King Shou, saying that his daughter was cold-tempered and sickly and was not suitable to serve the king. He was willing to choose beautiful women in Jizhou.
Ten of them were sent to Chaoge as an apology.
It stands to reason that with Jizhou Hou Suhu's status, his humble refusal, and his daughter involved, this matter can be considered settled. The king should stop at this, and there is no need to stiffen the relationship between the king and his ministers because of a woman.
.
But this King Shou didn't know what was wrong with him, or maybe he was in trouble, so he got furious, saying who the Marquis of Jizhou was, how dare he refuse his kindness. After listening to Fei Zhong's words, he sent another letter
The edict was sent to Jizhou, and the words were very sharp, saying that if the Marquis of Jizhou did not send his daughter to Chaoge, then King Shou would send troops to Jizhou to take it himself!
Are you actually going to fight for a woman these days? The Jizhou Marquis was frightened to death, and at the same time he was angry to death by King Shou's ridiculous behavior. The other party didn't give any respect to the monarch and his ministers. This made the dignified Jizhou Marquis swallow.
Take this tone?
They all have soldiers and tempers, not only for their own daughters, but also for their own dignity, right? The Marquis of Jizhou was at loggerheads. He once again rejected the edict of King Shou and sent the ten selected people to the throne.
All the beauties were sent away. At the same time, the soldiers were ready to face the pressure from Chaoge.
When the situation reached this point, King Shou was furious. He immediately sent an order to E Chongyu, the Hou of the Northern Bodhisattva who was closest to Jizhou, asking him to send troops to Jizhou and force Su Hu, the Hou of Jizhou, to "voluntarily" hand over his daughter Daji, otherwise he would attack directly.
He destroyed Housu Human's family in Jizhou.
And Bei Bohou was eager to annex the fat piece of Jizhou, and he didn't care whether King Shou's order was moral or not. He directly ordered his troops and horses and headed towards Jizhou, aggressively not letting go of Jizhou's few troops.
In the eyes.
There are dozens of princes in the world, but there are only four Bohou. The gap can be imagined. Jizhou spent all its money and could not be the opponent of Bei Bohou E Chongyu. Even the qualifications to challenge were far behind. For a time
The sky over Jizhou was filled with clouds of war, and the people were panic-stricken and didn't know whether they should flee or go to relatives' homes elsewhere to avoid the limelight.
Is it because of his own daughter that the entire Jizhou is plunged into war and the people are in dire straits? Or is he sacrificing his own daughter and protecting his family name?
This choice was not easy to make, and it even made Su Hu heartbroken.
Zhu Liu, who was in Chaoge City, closed the jade slip at this time, then put it into the formation and activated it, which was transmitted back to the other end of the formation in the Iron Guard Camp of Wudao Underworld...
