Tortoise of the Great Desolation

Chapter 557 Good Courtier (2)

Ji Chang's words made San Yisheng and Nangong Shi fall into a long silence.

They never imagined that Emperor Yi, known for his benevolence, would be such a murderous person in his early years.

Then they heard Ji Chang say softly: "This time when I entered the palace, this Marquis has seen the shadow of Zixian from the current king."

"This Marquis is not afraid of a benevolent monarch, because benevolence means that he wants to be reasonable and follow the rules. But a tyrant will never talk to you so much."

"Do you know what happened in the court today? The current king actually compares himself to Xia Jie. He said that Xia Jie did one thing very well, that is, there are only two kinds of people in front of Xia Jie, one is obedient people , and the other is the dead.”

"He can even do things like comparing himself to Xia Jie. What do you think he can't do?"

San Yisheng and Nangong Shi were completely shocked and speechless.

Xia Jie, Shang Tang, the ancestor of the great merchants, won the world from Xia Jie.

Therefore, in the hearts of Shang kings of all dynasties, Xia Jie is a well-deserved negative teaching material.

Today's king dares to compare himself to Xia Jie, then he is either a madman or a hero.

And judging from Ji Chang's performance, the current king would never be a lunatic.

Sighing lightly, Ji Chang said: "San Yisheng, get ready, go back to Xiqi, and leave tonight. Benhou can feel that the king already has murderous intentions for him, as long as he can find a plausible excuse , he will definitely attack Benhou. Even, if Benhou continues to stay in Chaoge, he may even directly attack Benhou."

"Yes, Lord Hou." San Yisheng quickly responded.

Although Ji Chang's words are a bit alarmist, but over the years, Ji Chang's words are rarely wrong.

Therefore, after speaking of San Yisheng, he got up and went out to ask people to prepare for the departure.

But at this moment Ji Chang stopped him again: "Nangongshi, you go and ask someone to prepare, San Yisheng stays here, and Benhou still has something to do for you."

"The last general takes orders." Hearing this, Nangong Shi didn't ask any questions, just got up and went out.

After Nangongshi left, Ji Chang said to San Yisheng: "Let Nangongshi escort Benhou back to Xiqi, and you can go to Jizhou."

"To Jizhou?" San Yisheng was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Is it for the eldest son's marriage?"

Hearing that San Yisheng mentioned Boyi Kao's and Su Daji's marriage, Ji Chang's face turned cold again.

He beckoned, beckoning San Yisheng to come over, and then whispered in San Yisheng's ear: "Go to Jizhou, there is only one thing you have to do. Today's king ordered to call the daughter of the Marquis of Jizhou into the palace, but the Marquis of Jizhou The woman's heart is attached to others, she would rather die than obey, and finally commit suicide at home, do you understand?"

Ji Chang's tone was very flat, but what San Yisheng heard really made him shudder.

"As long as Su Hu's daughter dies, with the temperament of the king, he will never let Su Hu go. At that time, even if Su Hu doesn't want to rebel, he can only rebel. Jizhou is a big town, as long as Su Hu rebels, No matter what the result is, it can help us test the reality of the big merchants today, so this matter must be successful, and you can use all the hidden hands that Xiqi planted in Jizhou."

Forcibly suppressing the horror in his heart, San Yisheng replied in a deep voice: "I understand, Lord Hou, please rest assured, I will definitely complete the orders of Lord Hou."

Nodding expressionlessly, Ji Chang waved his hand and said calmly, "Go."

San Yisheng saluted Ji Chang, turned and left.

A while later, Ji Chang also left the post station, boarded the carriage that Nangong Shi had prepared, and headed towards Xiqi under the escort of the accompanying guards.

"all gone?"

In the palace, Zi Shou asked casually while drawing something on the case with a pen.

Hearing the sound, Fei Zhong, who was waiting below, quickly responded: "My lord, except Bei Bohou who is still singing, the other towns and princes have left."

"Chonghouhu" put down his pen, and Zishou smiled: "This guy is a little greedy and stupid, but his loyalty to my great merchant is true. However, even Gu Na's father-in-law has left, look Come on, he was really pissed off by loneliness this time."

This time, Fei Zhong didn't dare to answer.

Although he is a close minister of Zi Shou, he still knows what he can and cannot say.

He can comment on other ministers or princes, but Dong Bo Hou Jiang Huanchu is not only the head of the princes in the world, but also the biological father of the current queen and the father-in-law of the king. This is not something he can make rash comments on.

Fortunately, Zishou didn't intend to let him express his opinion.

"Call Chonghouhu over and tell him that for the sake of his loyalty, there is only one thing to be entrusted to him."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Fei Zhong went down in response.

Looking at Fei Zhong's back, Zi Shou suddenly smiled.

Fei Zhong, You Hun, and Chonghou Hu.

Are these people the only ones I can use?

Although there should be no problem with Yang Ren and Huang Feihu's loyalty now, there are many things that they cannot do with their identities.

Shaking his head, Zishou shook off these messy thoughts.

Regardless of him, whether he is a traitor or a sycophant, an obedient courtier is a good courtier.

Chonghouhu is the only one who is still in Chaoge among the princes of the four towns in the world.

Of course, it wasn't because of his loyalty that he didn't leave, it was simply because he thought that he was rough and didn't feel anything wrong from what happened at the meeting today.

Even now Chonghouhu is still feeling strange, why did the other princes leave so quickly this time?
Besides, there was another reason for Chonghou Hu to stay, and that was that he wanted to find another son-in-law to let him send more troops to the north to counter the rebellion.

It was heard that although the Grand Master led the Northern Expedition, there has been no result so far.

After all, the north is Chonghouhu's base, and he feels very unsafe to fight back and forth.

However, at today's court meeting, he didn't have a chance to speak at all, so he stayed and planned to find another opportunity to ask to see Zishou again.

However, before he could decide when to enter the palace, Fei Zhong came to his door.

In the post station, when they heard that Fei Zhong was coming, Chonghou Hu rushed out of the post station to greet him.

Although it is reasonable to say that he is the Beibohou who commands the princes of the two hundred towns in the north, and Fei Zhong is just a small minister in front of Zishou. It means putting on airs.

Although Zishou said that Chonghouhu was a bit stupid when he commented on him, in fact Chonghouhu could see some things very clearly - among other things, he was giving gifts to Fei Zhongyouhun and others before. At that time, besides Ji Chang, the gift list from Chonghouhu was the most expensive item.
