When I heard that Bigan died, I heard that Zhong was deeply saddened.
After a long time, he suppressed the grief in his heart and asked: "How did Emperor Uncle Bigan die?"
Zhang Zhao washed his face with tears and choked with sobs: "Empress Daji has a heart disease, and some alchemists slandered her, saying that only by drugging Uncle Bigan's heart and liver can she be cured. The king believed the rumors and asked Uncle Bigan for help.
The emperor's uncle cried bitterly and angrily said, "The heart is the master of the body. It is hidden in the lungs and sits in the six leaves of the two ears. It cannot be invaded by any evil. If it invades, you will die. If the heart is right, the hands and feet will be right. If the heart is not right, the hands and feet will not be right. I
How can I survive if my heart is hurt? The death of an old minister is not a pity. It is just the hills and ruins of Sheji. The virtuous people cannot be exhausted. Your Majesty listens to the words of the alchemists and wants to win my heart. I am only afraid that Bigan will be here and the country will be there. Bigan will perish and Sheji will perish.
"
Hearing this, Wen Zhong felt his ears ringing like drums, and the third eye between his brows glowed with light. He was really angry to the extreme.
"Then what?" Wen Zhong clenched his whips tightly, unable to control himself.
Zhang Zhao cried: "The king showed displeasure and only said that the emperor's uncle served the country loyally, so why could he not even part with his heart and soul? Empress Daji is the mother of the country. Now that the mother of the country is ill, when the time comes for the emperor's uncle to serve the country, how can it be done because of it?
Avoid misfortunes and blessings.
The emperor's uncle was speechless when he heard this. He looked at the Taimiao and bowed eight times. He cried and said, "Since you have become king, the building is about to collapse. It is not the disloyalty of the ministers. I hope the ancestors will not be blamed."
After saying these words, Uncle Bigan put his sword in the belly, pulled out the heart, looked at it and threw it, covered his robe without saying a word, his face looked like pale gold, and walked down the Lutai.
Halfway through the road, there was a woman selling water spinach on the side of the road. The emperor's uncle asked him, "If you don't have a heart for vegetables, you can live, but what if you don't have a heart?"
The vegetable vendor replied, "Of course people will die if they don't care."
When Emperor Bigan heard this, his face was like gold paper, he just recited it twice, and then he died out of breath."
"This this"
After Wen Zhong heard this, he laughed angrily and said: "How could it be like this? How could it be like this? Is it true that the Yin Shang Dynasty has really run out of energy?"
After saying that, Wen Zhong summoned Mo Qilin, left his ministers and went straight to the palace. He didn't want to delay for a minute, he just wanted to see King Zhou in the shortest possible time.
After entering the palace, Wen Zhong lowered his head and rushed in. When the palace guards saw him, they all gave way and did not dare to stop them. They respectfully said: "Old Master!"
Wen Zhong didn't bother to return the gift and went straight to the political hall.
When I arrived at the Yizheng Hall, I opened the door and saw that the hall was covered with dust, and there were actually spider webs forming between the pavilions and pavilions.
He quickly walked two steps to the Dragon Court, stretched out his hand and touched it. The dust on the Dragon Court was half a finger thick. You must know that this was the political hall of the previous dynasty. How long would it take for no one to take care of it for it to fall to this level?
At a glance, we can see why the Long Bookcase was born in dust and why the Government Hall is so desolate.
For a moment, Wen Zhong's heart was as sharp as a knife, he grabbed a guard and asked: "Where is the king?"
"Your Majesty is in the Wine Pond and Meat Forest, preparing to greet the Grand Master." The guard did not dare not answer, and said as if he was pouring beans.
Wen Zhong was surprised and asked: "What is the Wine Pool and Meat Forest? What kind of place is this? Why have I never heard of it?"
The guard replied: "Use wine as a pond and meat as a forest. Make men and women naked all day long and play and laugh in the garden. This is the wine pond and meat forest."
"ah!"
Wen Zhong took three steps back and used wine as a pond and meat as a forest. This is such debauchery and immorality.
He had only been leading troops for a few years. In the past, King Zhou, who used to be courteous and courteous, and cared about his people, had turned into such a coward.
Wen Zhong followed the position given by the guard and hurried to the wine pond and meat forest.
When I got outside the forest and looked inside, I saw a canal made of white jade passing through the forest. What was flowing inside was not spring water but fine wine.
There are five types of wine canals: fruit wine, wine, sake, plain wine, and strong wine. The five types of wine canals are surrounded by five wine canals and are classified into five wine pools.
You know, for ordinary wine, three pounds of grain can produce one pound of wine.
The process of making royal wine in the palace is even more complicated. It often takes ten kilograms of grain to produce one kilogram of wine. Currently, the five wine pools are each 300 meters wide and 800 meters long. They are bottomless. How much wine is needed to fill them?
How much grain do we need to make these five wine ponds that look like lakes?
Looking at the forest again, the trees were made of various dried fruits. Wen Zhong casually broke off a branch and tasted it in his mouth. It turned out to be almond powder made from almonds, wrapped in honey, and boiled into the shape of a tree trunk.
These are not real fruit trees, but large tree-like shapes made from various nuts.
Looking at the canopy in front of me, it looks like a canopy. Hundreds and thousands of fruit tree nuts can be put together to build such a big tree.
Looking inside, the wine pond and meat forest covers an area of more than ten miles, with no less than ten thousand trees.
Even if the Yin merchants were rich all over the world, how many families could afford such trouble? Just one tree was an unimaginable luxury for Wen Zhong, let alone tens of thousands of trees, and delicacies were hung on the trees, which were changed three times a day.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the old master is back."
When Wen Zhong arrived at the wine pond and meat forest, the guards who came with him hurried in to report.
King Zhou was enjoying singing and dancing in the forest. When he heard the sound, he laughed and said, "I am really happy that the grand master has returned to the court. Please invite the old grand master over quickly. I want to drink with the grand master."
Just as he was talking, Wen Zhong, whose face was as dark as water, walked out from outside in a hurry.
Seeing Wen Zhong's ugly face, King Zhou was startled and asked: "Old Master, when you return to the court today, why can't you smile so hard?"
Wen Zhong didn't say anything, just stared at King Zhou who was hugging him from left to right.
King Zhou felt uncomfortable at the sight, so he quickly pushed the beauty in his arms away and said, "I miss you so much when the Grand Master is away. If you come, please give me a seat for the Grand Master."
Wen Zhong sighed heavily, sat on the chair that was brought in, and said: "Your Majesty, after seeing the Holy Face today, Wen Zhong has a thousand words in his heart that he cannot say out loud. But before Wen Zhong speaks, he also wants to ask your Majesty
, Your Majesty, do you have anything to say to Wen Zhong?"
Wen Zhong did not ask, he wanted to hear what King Zhou said and what all this meant.
King Zhou looked puzzled and asked half-informed: "Old Master, what do you want to hear? Oh, I see, you are asking about Dongbohou Jiang Hengchu, Nanbohou E Chongyu, and Xibohou Jichang, right?
?”
At this point, King Zhou didn't wait for Wen Zhong to ask again, and said: "Dongbohou Jiang Hengchu disobeyed, and Nanbohou E Chongyu indulged in evil, and they were both punished. As for Xibohou Jichang, he had disobedience and ordered his son Bohou to punish him.
Before Yikao went to assassinate the emperor, Boyikao had been chopped into pieces. Ji Chang knew that a disaster was coming, and he is still on the run."
Seeing King Zhou kill and demote three of the four princes in an understatement, as if he was describing three pigs and dogs, his heart dropped when he heard Zhong.
The four great princes, even if there are all kinds of bad things, are still the guardians of Chaoge.
Chaoge's national policy is to control the four major princes and command the eight hundred smaller princes.
If King Zhou was prepared and premeditated to attack the four princes in order to centralize power, Wen Zhong would not be too nervous.
But he didn't have anything, so he killed people when his head was hot. How could these great princes be so easy to kill?
It's easy to kill someone, but how to deal with the aftermath? If you kill someone rashly, isn't this going to cause chaos in the world?
"Your Majesty, is there any real evidence that Dong Bohou is disobedient and Nan Bohou indulges in evil?" Wen Zhong asked with a sad look on his face.
King Zhou was at a loss for words for a moment. What real evidence did he have? He said with evasive eyes: "There should be some."
"should?"
Wen Zhong felt even colder in his heart, but it didn't show on his face, and asked again: "Your Majesty, I heard that there are five major landscapes in the palace: the Deer Platform, the Star-Zhaing Tower, the Wine Pond and the Meat Forest, the Tiger and Leopard Room, and the Garden of Rare Treasures. What do you mean by this?"
King Zhou was speechless and could only forcefully explain: "The palace is miserable. I am depressed and unhappy all day long. I can only take pleasure in this. The Grand Master cannot let me immerse myself in government affairs all day long and feel tired, right?"
Hearing Zhong's words changed, he added: "Then Prime Minister Shang Rong, Yabi Gan, senior official Mei Bo, Zhongfu Sima Sun Rong, and Taishi Ling Du Yuanqi, why did these people die?"
King Zhou became more and more impatient, but he was afraid of Wen Zhong's prestige and did not dare to take action. He evaded and said: "These people are bringing themselves to death. It is not my fault."
"That"
Wen Zhong wanted to say more, King Zhou waved his hand and interrupted: "That's it for today. I have a unbearable headache, so I'm going back to the palace to rest. The old master will also return to the house as soon as possible. If there is anything to do, let's talk about it another day."
Seeing King Zhou leaving in a hurry like a plague, Wen Zhong didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
After a while, Wen Zhong looked up to the sky and sighed, saying: "I am close to a villain, but I am a virtuous minister far away. I kill loyal and good people in vain. I don't distinguish between evil and evil. Why do you do this? Why do you do this?"
