Chapter 17 Princes and Merchants

But he said that at this time, Shang Zhou was evil thoughts controlling his body. Since he was lustful, after the Nuwa Palace, when he saw the holy face of Nuwa, he thought about it in the morning and evening. He forgot the cold and summer, and his sleep and food were was wasted. Every time he saw the three palaces and six courtyards, he felt like a soup of rice and dust, which was very annoying. Finally, he put this matter in his heart and was depressed.

This Fei Zhong is good at observing words and appearance, and has a lot of tricks. As soon as he saw Shang Zhou's appearance, he thought about it a little, and then he knew why Shang Zhou was like this. Therefore, when he met Shang Zhou, he said, "I don't know why your majesty frowned, but if there is anything annoying, you can say it out and let me worry!"

When Shang Zhou heard this, he was immediately happy. He secretly thought that the doctor Fei Zhong had a lot of tricks. It's better to ask about it, so he said, "The lonely king entered the incense because of the Nuwa Palace. I occasionally saw that he was beautiful and unparalleled. No one in the three palaces and six courtyards met the wishes of the lonely king. What can he do? What's Aiqing's plan to solve the worry of the lonely king?

Fei Zhong said lightly, "Now the land of Kyushu belongs to your majesty. In this way, why does your majesty need to be so worried? You only need to issue a holy order to the four princes. Each town selects a hundred beautiful women to serve as the royal court. Why worry about the beauty of the world and not for your majesty?"

When Shang Zhou heard this, he was overjoyed and said with a smile, "What Aiqing said is very true, haha!" After saying that, he drove back to the palace.

The next morning, Shang Zhou set up a gathering of literature and martial arts, waiting for the ministers to congratulate him, and then said, "Send the will of the King of Lunch, and promulgate the princes of the four towns. In each town, select a hundred beautiful women from a good family, no matter rich or poor, only with a dignified appearance, gentle surname, graceful etiquette, and generous manners to serve as harem servants."

After Shang Zhou's words, it immediately caused a burst of disturbance. Then Shang Rong's old body trembled out of the line and said, "The old minister Shang Rong's report to your majesty, this is a must. In your majesty's harem, the concubines are no less than a thousand people. Now she is doing so, I'm afraid that the hearts of the people will be greatly lost. And now the Beihai has not stopped fighting. Your Majesty is It is appropriate to cultivate his virtue, love his people, cherish his financial expenses, and pay attention to his decrees. I hope your majesty can take back the holy order!"

When Shang Zhou heard this, he suddenly looked angry and just wanted to speak. At this time, Bigan also said, "I, Bichang's second proposal. Your Majesty's move is not appropriate. I'm afraid it will make the people's hearts greatly lost. I hope Your Majesty will take back the holy order!"

After listening to this, Shang Zhou was immediately angry. Before he could speak, Huang Feihu also walked out of the line with an indifferent face and said, "I, Huang Feihu seconded it!"

"Cun Mei Bo's second proposal!"

"Cen Du Yuan's second proposal!"

"The minister Fang Bi and the prime minister seconded!"

It seems that today's loyal ministers are all dedicated to advice, and they are not afraid of Shang Zhou's increasingly ugly face.

Although Shang Zhou is very irritable at this time, he still knows that he can't offend all ministers, especially Shang Rong, Bican and Huang Feihu. These three people have a high prestige and can't offend them too much until they have to.

However, the anger in his heart was also uncontrollable. Under the contradiction, Shang Zhou immediately patted fiercely and roared, "Let's stop this matter and retreat!"

Then the dragon robe was put up, and he walked out of the nine halls angrily.

After Shang Zhou left, Shang Rong bowed to the people who had previously seconded, "Thank you for being listed as a minister!" If it hadn't been for the second visit of many loyal ministers, I'm afraid Shang Zhou wouldn't have been like this.

Seeing this, everyone replied, "The old minister doesn't need to be like this. This is what we should do!"

Then everyone looked at each other and sighed, and then walked silently and slowly out of the Jiujian Hall. They were too lazy to talk about Shang Zhou. At this time, they just did their best to obey their destiny. They could maintain the current situation for a day, and then they maintained a day. Everything only hoped that Wen Zhong could change after returning to the court. Change.

Everyone should give up on this matter. They didn't expect that in the eighth year of King Zhou, in April of summer, when the four princes of the world led 800 small princes to Hajj in the Great Shang, something happened.

At this time, Wen Zhong was no longer in the court. Shang Zhou said that he favored Fei Zhongyouhun, so that when the major princes came to the court, they would observe the words and secretly give private gifts to the two to make up their hearts.

However, among them, Hou Su Hu in Jizhou is upright and upright, and his surname is like a fierce fire. How can he know such a worldly wisdom, so he did not give a gift and bribe to Fei Zhongyouhun. After checking the gift, they found that only Su Ho did not give a gift, so they held a grudge and was ready to wait for revenge.

On New Year's Day, Shang Zhou gathered two classes of literature and martial arts in the early morning. After the official's congratulatory ceremony, the Huangmen official said, "Your Majesty! This year is the year of celebration. The princes of the world are celebrating outside the Meridian Gate, waiting for your majesty's will.

However, Shang Zhou did not have the patience to see many princes at once, so he said, "Only declare that the four princes come to congratulate, and the other 800 congratulations can be congratulated outside the Meridian Gate."

The officials of the Yellow Gate immediately took the order. After that, the four princes went to the nine halls together and bowed on the Danqi. After the ceremony, Shang Zhoucai said, "There are many people who work for the lonely king to Fusui Lishu, and the wasteland, Weiyuan Ning's life!"

"I am enmoured with grace, and I live in the general town. Even if there are dogs and horses, I should do my subordinates in this way!"

Shang Zhou was very happy to hear the words. Then he ordered people to treat each other at the banquet in the Xianqing Hall. The four princes immediately thanked him. After that, Shang Zhou retreated from the court and left the nine halls. As for the side hall, Fei Zhongyouhun was summoned and said, "The previous King Gu wanted to make the four princes in the world into beautiful women. The King Gu wanted to issue an order, but he was stopped by Shang Rong. Today, the four princes are here. They will be summoned in tomorrow morning and issued in person, waiting for the four people to return to China in order to choose and offer, and avoid the envoys from going back and forth. What do you think?

When Fei Zhong and You Hun heard the words, they were immediately happy. Fei Zhong said, "Your Majesty's move is very inappropriate. In this way, isn't it going back on his word? I'm afraid of losing your majesty. On the contrary, I asked Su Hu, Marquis of Jizhou, who has a woman named Su Daji. This woman is gorgeous, leisurely and quiet. If she is selected into the palace, she will be able to serve you. Down to the left!"

After a moment of pause, Fei Zhong said again, "In this way, your majesty can be a beauty, and there is no need to lose faith in the ministers, let alone let the people of the world think that your majesty is a king of barren silver and no way. What does your majesty want?"

Shang Zhou clapped his hands and praised, "What Aiqing said is very true. Haha, you immediately summon Su Hu to see him!"

Fei Zhong and You Hun immediately left the side hall with a smile on their faces. Soon after, Su Hu came to pay homage and said, "Jizhou Hou Su Hu homage to your majesty!"

Shang Zhou was greedy and did not beat around the bush. After nodding and responding, he said directly, "King Gu heard that Aiqing has a woman named Daji. King Gu wants to choose her as a concubine. How about Aiqing?"

Su Hu listened and said with a straight face, "Your Majesty's harem has three thousand beauties, and the daughter of the minister, Pu Liuyingzi, how can she enter your majesty's eyes? This matter must be the annihire annihirate minister in your majesty's ear. I hope your majesty can see it clearly!"

When Shang Zhou heard the words, he immediately said unhappily, "This is to make Aiqing a relative of the emperor. How can Aiqing refuse such a good thing?"

After a pause, Shang Zhou said again, "This matter has been decided. After Aiqing goes back, you can let your daughter come to Chaoge. The lonely king will definitely spoil her!"

Hearing Shang Zhou's shameless words, Su Hu's temper was also extremely irritable. He immediately scolded: "No way, faint king, listen to the slander of the ministers who annihilars evil, do not stop the government of benevolence and virtue, waste silver wine, imitate the king of Xia, the faint king is self-destruction, pitiful become a great cause of soup, and will no longer exist!"

Shang Zhou immediately became angry and said angrily, "If you call me, you don't drive; if you give me death, I dare not disobey. What's more, choose your daughter as your concubine? Dare to disograde the will of the lonely king, and compare it with the ruined king with the lonely king?

After saying that, he ordered people to take Su Hu down and send him to the Meridian Gate. He was about to kill Su Hu. Unexpectedly, Fei Zhong came forward and said, "Su Hu did not comply with the order. He should have been decapitated at the Meridian Gate, but because he chose to serve his daughter, he offended him. If the world heard about it, His Majesty would despise the virtuous and obstructed the way. It's better to forgive the return to the country. At that time, Su Hu will be grateful to His Majesty for not killing, and naturally send this woman to serve the emperor. In this way, the people can know that Your Majesty is generous and generous, and he accepts advice like a flow. He can kill two birds with one stone. I hope your majesty and minister can do so!"

"Your words are very good, just follow your words!" Fei Zhong immediately took the order and released Su Hu.

After Su Hu was released, he immediately returned to the post pavilion. After the family was interviewed, Su Hu talked about this matter angrily. After hearing the words, everyone said, "There is no way to faint king. It will not be long before the country is over. If the Lord reverses the imperial song and defends a country, you can protect the temple, and you can protect your family!" In Su Hu's anger, he immediately felt that this plan was very good, so he took the four treasures of the literary room and put them in front of him. After grinding the purple hair, he wrote a poem at the Meridian Gate: "You are a bad minister, there are five permanent officials, Jizhou Su Hu, and you will always go to the court!"

After that, he led everyone back to Jizhou without mentioning it.

However, he said that when the guard of the Meridian Gate saw Su Hu's anti-poetry, he was immediately scared and hurriedly reported to Shang Zhou. Shang Zhou was even more angry when he heard the words, and said, "I ordered Lu Xiong and others to gather a large army. King Gu intended to personally conquer the rebels in Jizhou to defend the power of the lonely king!"

The attendant immediately called Lu Xiong. After Lu Xiong heard the imperial edict, although he wondered how Su Hu and other loyal and righteous people could reverse the imperial song, at this time, Shang Zhou was in great anger, and Lu Xiong did not say much.

At this time, Fei Zhong also suggested, "At this time, the four princes and others are here. Why do you have to personally conquer the rebels in Jizhou? Jizhou is a subordinate of the northern Chonghou Tiger, and you can order the Houhu to fight."

After listening to it, Shang Zhou immediately felt that it was feasible and immediately approved Fei Zhong to do so.

However, this Chonghou Hu is a greedy and tyrannical husband. He brings troops far away. In the place where he passes through, all the people will suffer from military disasters. Lu Xiongsi and Xibohou have always been in the name of benevolence and virtue, so he said, "Although Hou Hu is in the north, his kindness has not been convinced by others. I'm afraid that this trip has not been able to extend the prestige of the court. It's better to order Xibo Jichang to go with him. Jichang has always been known for benevolence and righteousness all over the world. In this way, he does not lose the prestige of the court. He can capture Su Hu and treat him.

King Zhou has been thinking for a long time, and they are all accurate.

After receiving the imperial edict, Chonghou Hu did not think about anything else. He immediately led the army and set out. Although Ji Chang was puzzled, he did not dare to disobey the imperial edict. He also returned to Xiqi and led the army to Jizhou. However, Chonghou Hu was very close to Jizhou, so he took the lead in reaching it, and Chonghou Hu looked down on the bullet place of Jizhou at all. He was extremely arrogant. He didn't wait for Ji Chang to come, so he sent troops to attack Jizhou alone.

The things in the court were all investigated by Shen Gongbao. In Shen Gongbao's mansion, Shen Gongbao crossed his knees beside the bed, with a slight smile on his mouth and muttered to himself, "It's finally started, hey hey hey hey"
