Chapter 184 Edict
At first, King Zhou refused to accept the fact that Daji was a vixen, but when Yin Jiao threw the bodies of Hu Ximei and Wang Guiren in front of him, he had to accept this fact.

Repentance appeared on King Zhou's face for the first time when he thought of the licentious and immoral things he had done for a vixen.

He really likes beauty, but the other party is a vixen, he just felt sick for a while, thinking about it now, since Daji entered the palace, many strange things have happened in the palace, such as Yun Zhongzi offering a sword, saying that there are monsters in the palace Qi, those piles of white bones next to the Taihu Lake are like hills.

Yin Jiao had been paying attention to King Zhou all the time, seeing his expression, he said coldly, "Are you regretting what you have done?"

King Zhou sighed: "All this is the crime of the widow. I have wronged your mother and let her suffer innocent injustice. I am even more sorry for your brothers. Fortunately, God blessed us, and the two of you escaped unharmed in the execution ground. , Otherwise, the widow will sever his own blood, and he will not have the chance to see his ancestors after death."

Yin Jiao said, "It's too late to regret it now."

King Zhou said: "I know what to say now, you won't forgive me."

Yin Jiao said coldly, "It's good that you know."

Daji got what she deserved, King Zhou repented for his crimes, and his vengeance was avenged. Yin Jiao felt relieved. He glanced at King Zhou, turned and walked out of Shouxian Palace.

As for persuading King Zhou to abdicate, it was left to the ministers to handle.

Yin Jiao knew that if he spoke, King Zhou would definitely agree to abdicate, but he didn't want to ask King Zhou, let alone recognize him as his father.He felt that a tyrant like King Zhou should spend the rest of his life in repentance.

……

"At the beginning of the widow's ascension to the throne, he spent all his clothes and food, and worked unremittingly in governance. Only then did he have a prosperous world, the four barbarians surrendered, and the guests from all directions were served. He should have enjoyed peace. However, the widow is arrogant and extravagant, greedy for beauty, and disregarding all officials Obstacles, Nada has become a concubine, lost her mind, set up cannons, made pots, killed his wife and children, cruel and innocent, numerous crimes, even better than Xia Jie. Forced against the princes, wars broke out, and the people were in dire straits. It is the fault of the widow, and the widow issued this edict to inform the world."

After this edict, the government and the public were in turmoil. After all, King Zhou was still a tyrant before, but now he changed his normal behavior and confessed his crimes to the people of the world, which is simply unbelievable.Since the Xia Dynasty, no king has ever done this.

It can be said that King Zhou's torture set a precedent, and his plea of ​​guilt also set a precedent.

Although King Zhou pleaded guilty and changed the world's opinion of him, the people's hatred for him did not disappear because of this.

After all, after King Zhou accepted Daji, he only cared about pleasure and didn't care about the life and death of the common people. In the past ten years, how many people were separated from their wives, and how many people lived a life like hell.

Let's put it this way, Da Shang has already suffered from a serious illness, and the decree is just a blind medicine, which can alleviate the illness. There is a long way to go to cure it.

Zhang Qian objected to Yin Jiao on the spot. Now that Xianfu is at home, he couldn't help crying bitterly when he learned about the edict.

In his opinion, King Zhou was wise in his early years, but he has become fatuous in the past ten years, but he is still good to himself. If he is not appreciated by King Zhou, he is still a petty official, so how can he show his retribution.

Weizi went to see Yin Jiao and Yin Hong to persuade King Zhou, but he didn't spend much effort. Even King Zhou didn't even scold him, but calmly wrote the confession edict.

"Prince, what's the next step?"

Yin Jiao looked at Deng Zhong, and King Zhou's confession was just a foreshadowing for his abdication.

Deng Zhongdao: "Your Highness Weizi, don't worry, let the world digest this news first."

Now this edict is only spreading to cities other than Chaoge, the eight hundred princes may not know about it, and when they know, it will not be too late to talk about abdication.Yin Hong's accession to the throne is a certainty.

In fact, in terms of talent, Yin Jiao is the right candidate for the king of Shang, but his appearance is too fierce, even if he becomes the king, he will definitely attract criticism, which is obviously not good for the rule of the big business.

Yin Jiao might have considered this point long ago, so he proposed to let Yin Hong inherit the Datong.

Wei Zi said: "What Deng Zongbing said is absolutely true."

Yin Jiao and Yin Hong valued Deng Zhong so much, he was the main one in everything, and King Zhou did the same to Wen Taishi back then.As long as Yin Hong succeeds the king of Shang, Deng Zhong will be of great importance. Wei Zi can't help thinking, what will Deng Zhong's official position be in the future if the Grand Master has Wen Zhong.

Deng Zhongdao: "What is the attitude of the ministers?"

In order to prevent the news from spreading, Deng Zhong directly asked all civil and military officials to live in the palace, and let them go home after the overall situation was settled.

Although it was Yin Jiao who came forward to change the dynasty, Deng Zhong was the one behind the scenes who made the plan, and he was also the one who made the suggestion. After all, how much knowledge Yin Jiao and Yin Hong have.

Wei Zi said: "They were left in the palace, there must be some complaints, but they don't have any opinion on His Royal Highness Yin Hong's banning the king and becoming the next king of Shang. Most of them are more optimistic about him."

Everyone is a smart person, as long as they support Yin Hong, they will not lose their glory and wealth, and Yin Hong is the son of King Zhou, so his name is justified.

Deng Zhongdao: "That's good."

What King Zhou has done these years has completely lost the hearts of the people, otherwise he would not be able to control the palace so quickly, even if he used magic to suppress them.But if they were loyal to King Zhou, they would definitely resist and try to rescue King Zhou, but from the beginning to the end, no one did so.

It can be said that King Zhou has betrayed his relatives, and he can do nothing in Shouxian Palace.

Wei Zi looked hesitant to speak, Deng Zhong said: "Your Highness Wei Zi, if you have something to say, don't hesitate to speak up."

Wei Zi sighed: "It's the king who wants to see the crown prince and His Highness the Second Highness."

It took only a few days for King Zhou to fall from the supremacy of the kingship. He was completely changed. He was unkempt, with regret in his eyes, and he was several years older.

Yin Jiao said coldly, "Uncle, go and tell him that my brother and I will never see him again in this lifetime."

No matter what happened to King Zhou in the end, he deserved all of this, and he deserved no sympathy.

Wei Zi said: "Prince, he is your father after all, he looks quite pitiful, surrounded by only a palace servant, and that palace servant is still dumb."

Yin Jiao said: "So what, he is pitiful, those who were executed by his orders are not pitiful."

Wei Zi looked at Deng Zhong, hoping that he could persuade Yin Jiao.

Deng Zhongdao: "This matter, I agree with the prince, the poor man must have something to hate."

Thinking of the things that King Zhou did, Deng Zhong felt a surge of hatred, let alone those families who were murdered by him.

Wei Zi didn't want to persuade him anymore, he thought to his brother, next time he went to see him by himself, brought good wine and good food, and had a good meal with him.From Wei Zi's point of view, like King Zhou, he might not be able to last long.
