Tortoise of the Great Desolation

Chapter 552
"Chulilide?" Hearing the four words in Yunxiao's mouth, Zishou smiled sarcastically, and asked, "How many of the eight hundred princes in the world are really loyal to me?" Woolen cloth?"

Yun Xiao was stunned for a moment, because she really didn't know much about these things.

It's just that, she thought that even if some princes had evil intentions, they should be a minority, but now Ting Zishou's tone seems to be different?
Slightly shaking his head and sighing, Zishou explained in a calm tone: "There are eight hundred princes in the world, and most of the princes in the two hundred towns in the west were vassals of Ji Chang when he rebelled. Now, of course, Ji Chang is still the leader. The princes in the two hundred towns in the south With Nanbohou E Chongyu as the leader, although E Chongyu is not an ambitious man like Ji Chang, he is not a loyal minister. He only has his own interests in his eyes. There is still a bit of centrality, but it is a pity that Chonghouhu himself is a waste. Although he is the leader of the northern princes, but look at the Yuan Futong rebellion in Beihai, he is actually a decoration. So, the four princes Among them, there is only one Dong Bo Hou Jiang Huanchu who is both loyal and powerful, and this is the reason why my father insisted on marrying Yun'er as his queen before his death."

"However, even if this is the case, although Dong Bohou is loyal to my great merchant, it is not that there are no other voices within the Jiang family."

After Zishou said these words, Yun Xiao was completely speechless. She never expected that the external situation of Da Shang, the titular co-lord of the human race, had become so bad.

"So, in this case, the truly loyal ministers will never betray my businessman just because Fei Zhong and You Hun received some benefits. As for other people, are their opinions important?"

"One by one, they all have ghosts in their hearts, but they still want me to make false claims with them. Unfortunately, I don't have the habit of spoiling them."

"No matter what, my Dashang is still the lord of the world. Unless they raise the flag of rebellion now, there are only two choices left for them. Either obey or die. It's as simple as that."

"It doesn't itch if there are too many lice, and it doesn't worry if there are too many debts. There are too many people who want me to die and want the big business to die, and they are not bad."

Zishou's words undoubtedly shocked Yunxiao a lot, but at the same time, she also looked at Zishou with something else in her eyes: "If it weren't for you, you would have been in front of me. I really can't believe that such a thing can come out of your mouth."

Hearing this, Zi Shou shrugged his shoulders, and said lightly: "I used to try to avoid many things, but now, since I can't escape, I can only face it."

"I will face it with you." Seeing Zi Shou with a serious face, Yun Xiao murmured softly.

Emperor Xin eight years, April.

The chiefs of the princes of the four directions of the world led the princes of the eight hundred towns in the four directions to make a pilgrimage to Shang.

According to Zishou's order, Fei Zhongyouhun took the opportunity to collect bribes.

Facing the close ministers of these two sons, most of the princes chose to spend money to eliminate disasters.

However, there are exceptions to everything, and this time is no exception.

Although most of the princes chose to spend money to eliminate disasters, there were still a few princes who ignored Fei Zhong and You Hun.

Leaving aside a few unknown people among them, two of the more famous princes who refused to pay bribes were E Chongyu, Marquis of Nanbo, and Suhu, Marquis of Jizhou.

E Chongyu, the Marquis of Nan Bo, was a man who valued profit and despised righteousness, and regarded wealth as his life.

For such a person, if you expect him to bribe, you might as well kill him.

Besides, E Chongyu is also Nan Bohou, so he doesn't think these two favorite ministers can do anything to him.

As for Su Hu, although he is not as stingy as E Chongyu, nor does he have the status of E Chongyu, but Su Hu feels that he has a backer!
His daughter Su Daji is about to marry Bo Yikao, the eldest son of Xibohou Jichang.

And who is Xibohou?
Although in name Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu is the leader of the world's princes, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the strongest among the world's princes is Xibohou Jichang, and even after a few years, whether the world's surname is Shang or It's hard to say the surname Zhou.

Under such circumstances, as someone who is about to marry Ji Chang, Su Hu really didn't pay attention to the two favorites in front of Zi Shou.

Even if those two little ministers spoke ill of him to Zishou, so what?Can the dignified Xibohou keep him?
joke!

Of course, Su Hu didn't know that from Fei Zhong and You Hun, Xi Bohou Ji Chang, whom he wanted to rely on wholeheartedly, also gave a gift, and that gift was even bigger than everyone else.

Fei Zhong and You Hun were collecting bribes outside, but those princes who chose to give gifts to them didn't know that when they gave gifts to Fei Zhong and You Hun, all the gift lists they sent appeared in Zishou's case superior.

Looking at the richer gift list in front of him, Zishou felt a little funny while keeping the names of these people in his heart.

I don't know how these people will react if they know that all the gift lists they sent have appeared here.

Waving his hand, signaling to the left and right to take away these gift lists, Zishou ordered lightly: "Tomorrow morning, the princes of the four directions will have an audience."

"promise."

In the early morning of the next day, the princes of the world entered the palace to have an audience.

Zishou went to the court, and after all the civil and military officials paid homage, Prime Minister Shang Rong immediately came out and said: "My lord, this year is the year when the princes of the four directions come to congratulate me on the great business. Now the princes of all parties are waiting outside the palace, waiting for the king. summoned."

Of course, it is said that the princes of the world are congratulating, but in the end only the princes of the four directions are eligible to see Zishou. Otherwise, if eight hundred princes squeeze in, there is no question whether so many people can be accommodated in the hall.

Therefore, after Shang Rong finished speaking, Zishou just said: "Xuan the princes of the four directions to enter the palace."

Hearing this, orders were sent from left to right, and soon, Jiang Huanchu, E Chongyu, Ji Chang, and Chonghou Hu walked in from outside the hall.

After entering the main hall and seeing Zishou, no matter who they are or what their intentions are, these few will all pay respects honestly in the end.

Looking at Jiang Huanchu and the others in the hall, Zishou half-lyed on the throne and asked lazily, "Old Prime Minister, who are these? Why doesn't Gu recognize them?"

Hearing what Zishou said, not only Shang Rong, but [-]% of the people in the hall were stunned.

Don't know?
Your Majesty, what does this mean?
Putting nothing else aside, Dong Bohou Jiang Huanchu is your old father-in-law. If you say you don't know him, who will believe it?

However, no matter what they thought, since Zishou said he didn't know him, he didn't know him.

Therefore, Shang Rong could only come forward to introduce in the end.
