Regarding Jiang Huan, Fei Zhong set up a trap to bring down the queen.
Let Fei Zhong be interrogated, and the result is self-evident.
In the afternoon of the same day, Jiang Huan confessed and admitted his crime of having an affair with the queen and fornicating the palace. He even explained clearly when and how the affair occurred.
In the face of the evidence of crime, King Zhou was furious. Under Daji's temptation, he could not help but order the queen to be thrown into the cold palace.
The next day, when the palace maid went to visit Empress Jiang, she found that the empress, whose mother was the best in the world, had been hanged in the cold palace. Even after her death, she was accused of committing suicide out of fear of crime.
The Queen's death is like a gust of wind, invisible and untouchable, but its influence comes from all aspects.
On the third day, Prince Yin Jiao and Prince Yin Hong came together and went into the star-challenging tower to question King Zhou. They were scolded by the furious King Zhou and ordered to shut up and think about their mistakes.
Yin Jiao and Yin Hong were dissatisfied and led their troops out of the Prince's Mansion to personally investigate the cause of Queen Jiang's death and Jiang Huan's false accusation.
Fei Zhong interfered and wrote to Yin Jiao and Yin Hong to rebel, intending to usurp the throne.
King Zhou did not distinguish between loyal and traitorous people, so he ordered the arrest of the two Yin Jiao men. The two men resisted vigorously, but the army was defeated by King Wucheng Huang Feihu, and both Yin Jiao and Yin Jiao were missing.
On the fifth day after Empress Jiang died, and on the third day after Yin Jiao was defeated and disappeared, Prime Minister Shang Rong led all the civil and military officials to remonstrate with him at Zhaixing Tower.
King Zhou successively killed the young secretary Zhang Sai, the censor Song Wei, Taichang Qing Qu Dian, and the chief minister Liu Shi. He said with a smile: "Anyone who disrespects others will be killed by everyone."
When Prime Minister Shang Rong heard this, he burst into tears and sighed: "The great Shang Qi has been exhausted!"
After speaking, he hit the golden pillar angrily and died. After death, his eyes were wide open and he could not close his eyes.
King Zhou was not frightened but became angry. He ordered Shang Rong's corpse to be exposed on Lutai, and everyone in the family was killed.
On the tenth day, Dongbohou Jiang Hengchu, who received the news that his daughter had died unjustly and his nephew was missing, led his personal entourage into Chaoge overnight.
King Zhou was overjoyed when he saw this and said with a smile: "The father-in-law came just in time. I was still afraid that you would raise a flag of rebellion, but now I am not afraid anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, swordsmen and axemen on the left and right came out, chopped Jiang Hengchu and his entourage into pieces with knives, made dried meat and rewarded them to the princes of the Eastern Kingdom.
The two hundred princes of the Eastern Kingdom were all shocked when they saw him. On the surface, they respectfully asked King Zhou to atone for his sins, but secretly they had separated from Chao Ge.
Fortunately, before Dong Bohou died suddenly, he had not yet decided on a successor, and several of his legitimate sons were divided in order to seize the family property. Otherwise, if they had mobilized all their troops and led two hundred suppressing princes to march westward, it would still be unclear who would be killed.
However, after this battle, Chao Ge was no longer the common master of the world in the minds of the princes.
The merits, prestige, and friendship left by the kings of the past dynasties have been passed down for ten or seventy-eight years. All people with lofty ideals are already training their troops in secret.
In this context, Daji, who was named empress, Liu Pipa, who became a noble concubine, and Fei Zhong, who was promoted to a noble rank, were nothing more than topics for common people to talk about after dinner.
In December of the same year, there was heavy snowfall, and the bustling Chaoge was already riddled with holes.
On this day, Daji, who had defeated all her opponents and had sat on the throne of the queen, thought of the beautiful boy Boyikao and ordered Boyikao to enter the palace to play the piano.
Boyikao didn't realize he was there, and thought he would be able to leave the palace just like in the past by playing a few zither music.
Unexpectedly, when he entered the middle palace, he found that Daji was taking a bath in the palace. He was so frightened that he hurriedly walked outside.
Daji waved her wrist and the palace door closed instantly, and said with a smile: "Bo Yi Kao, where are you going?"
"The humble minister didn't know that the empress was taking a bath, so he had a lot of collisions, so he asked the empress to atone for his sins." Boyikao was so frightened that he lost his mind. During this period, countless important ministers in Chaoge were killed. He didn't want to be a fool.
Daji's face was rosy, and she looked at the panic-stricken Boyikao. Her heart felt like drinking fine wine, and she said teasingly: "It's not easy to atone for your sins. I am taking a bath and can't touch the skin on my back. If you are willing to come up and help me, I will
I won’t blame you for your crime, and let the king give you a reward.”
Boyikao was a gentleman. He had interrupted Daji's bathing and was frightened. But when he heard the teasing tone in Daji's words, he couldn't help but said: "Why do you say this? You are the mother of a country, and you should be the mother of the world.
Be a role model for women in the world. When Boyikao attacked the empress, he was killed or chopped up as he pleased. He never dared to complain. How could the empress behave like this? Isn't this making the world laugh at her?"
Daji was blushing and speechless after being criticized by Boyikao, as if she had become the most despicable woman in the world.
When Boyikao heard that Daji was not talking, he lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at her. He said in a deep voice, "If nothing happens to the empress, Boyikao will leave."
Daji admired handsome men and wanted to have a romantic relationship with Boyikao, but even though she said she was interested in this job, even if she was ashamed of herself, how could she stop her and make Boyikao push the door open and leave.
After Boyikao left, Daji became more and more angry as she thought about it. She secretly said: "How dare you be so presumptuous? I want you to taste the sweetness. It's fine if you don't appreciate it. How dare you humiliate me?"
With all your swords and axes on you, it’s hard to relieve the hatred in my heart!”
Saying both sides
Boyi passed the imperial examination and knew that a disaster was coming, so he hurried home.
When I got home and met my old father, Boyi Kao recruited him seriously and didn't dare to hide anything.
When Ji Chang heard this, his ears rumbled and his eyes turned dark, and he continued: "I, the Xibohou, have been loyal for generations, how could I have fallen to this point?"
"Father, what do you think I should do?" Boyikao was also playing drums in his heart. This is Chaoge, not Xiqi. It doesn't matter whether he dies or not. It would be a sin if he hurt his father.
Ji Chang tossed and turned, and after a while he said, "Go and ask Mr. Zhou to come."
"See the Marquis, the Crown Prince"
After a while, Zhou Sheng came from outside and paid homage to Ji and Chang.
Ji Chang quickly supported Zhou Sheng and said, "Mr. Zhou, as you said, the demon Daji is going to attack my son!"
"hiss!"
Zhou Sheng took a breath. He knew that Boyikao died at the hands of Daji, but it was still inevitable that he would lose his composure when the incident came to pass.
After a while, Zhou Sheng recovered his mind and asked Boyikao: "Your Majesty, can you tell me the situation?"
Boyikao glanced at Ji Chang, and after getting his father's permission, he explained the cause and effect.
Zhou Sheng sometimes frowned, sometimes sighed, and after a while he said: "Your Majesty, these days, I have been preparing for a rainy day, and have prepared a secret passage from the Marquis's Mansion to the outside of Chaoge City. At this point, no longer
We can't leave now, so please ask the Marquis and the Crown Prince to pack our bags, and we'll flee Chaoge immediately."
"How to escape from Chaoge?"
Boyikao shook his head repeatedly and replied: "I am not guilty in the first place, so what if I confront Daji, but I run away, and my innocence becomes guilty. My death alone is not a big deal, and it affects my father and others."
Xiqi is so big that if King Zhou is angered and attacks Xiqi, I will be the sinner of Xiqi."
When Zhou Sheng heard this, he secretly said that Daji was one of the three demons of the Xuanyuan Tomb, and she was not a good-natured child who wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken.
Boyikao offended Daji and refused to leave. The only way to stay was to die. Is he really not afraid of death?
"Father, Xiqi is not strong enough to face the wrath of King Zhou. I can't leave, no matter for my reputation or for Xiqi's future. If I leave, I will be found guilty and implicate hundreds of millions of people in Xiqi. Please
Father’s permission.”
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Boyikao did not panic and spoke to Ji Chang sincerely.
With tears in his eyes, Ji Chang cried: "What mistakes did my son make? What mistakes did I, Ji Chang, make? How did I end up in this situation, Xiqi?"
"Sir, the imperial guards from the palace came outside and said that the young marquis was molesting Daji. They wanted to take the young marquis back to hold him accountable."
Not long after, servants rushed in in a panic from outside, accompanied by the sounds of chaos and chaos.
After hearing this, Boyikao held on to Ji Chang's hand and warned: "Father, the child has gone with them. Please leave from the secret passage as soon as possible. Boyikao will delay as much time as possible for his father. I wish my father the best."
Return to Xiqi as soon as possible."
Ji Chang was in tears and wanted to say something else.
Zhou Sheng saw him on the side and hurriedly said in advance: "Master Marquis, the situation is critical. Please leave through the secret passage first. I will accompany the prince to the palace."
"Father, please leave quickly. My child will be kind to you, so what do you have to be sad about?"
Boyikao also spoke, and together with Zhou Sheng, sent Ji Chang into the secret passage.
Ji Chang was full of grief and indignation. He looked at the slowly closing entrance and swore to the sky: "King Zhou, you stupid king, if you dare to kill my son, I will return to Xiqi and die with you!"
