Apricot of the Great Desolation

Chapter 158
After Di Xin returned from the Notre Dame Temple, his heart was pricked. He looked at the pink and white flowers in the Six Palaces, but no one could catch his eye.

Empress Jiang is gentle and virtuous, Concubine Huang is full of heroism, and Concubine Yang looks forward to brilliance. They are all first-class beauties of the human race, but in Di Xin's eyes, they are nothing more than mediocrity.

What is good from above must be followed by those below. Not only the beauties in the harem were aware of Emperor Xin's changes, but also the ministers of the previous dynasty were aware of it.

But he said that at this time, Wen Zhong heard that Taishi sent troops to Beihai to pacify the Majiao clan. However, the Majiao clan was also a large clan in the ancient times, and Daluo existed in the clan. This battle lasted for more than ten years.

During this period, Emperor Xin promoted two "capable ministers", Fei Zhong and You Hun. Although these two people were not good in character, they were really good at getting things done and served Emperor Xin comfortably. If Xin Dan has a request, the two of them will do their best.

On this day, in the Jiujian Palace, the great merchants held their court meeting as usual. The clouds were steaming, the incense was thick, hundreds of civil and military officials were sitting in rows, and the divine generals and warriors were holding whips.

Fei Zhong held the wat tablet in his hand, stepped forward and started to play:

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Report."

"Your Majesty is rich in the world, the world is at home, worshiped from all directions, and praised by all the people. However, the royal family is in decline, with only two heirs, but it should not be. I ask your Majesty to spread the branches and heirs for a great business plan."

Fei Zhong had a righteous look on his face, as if he was really worried about the world of Dashang. The other officials in the palace also looked at Fei Zhong with surprised expressions. This is not like his style!
Although this is Emperor Xin's family matter, and logically it should not be managed by his ministers, but the emperor has no selfish affairs, and the heirs are related to the future of the great merchants. They can be said to be the backup candidates for their next boss. Naturally, the ministers are also worried, so they all All the ministers bowed and said:

"The minister waits for a second opinion."

Di Xin was not interested in anyone except Nuwa, but it was difficult to refute the ministers' intentions, so he asked:
"Does your Majesty have any candidates?"

Fei Zhong smiled confidently: "There are four towns among the princes in the world. From each town, five hundred people with gentle temperament, dignified and beautiful appearance, and generous and courteous behavior can be selected into the harem."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the civil and military court was shocked. I thought you had improved, but unexpectedly you worsened. Shang Rong hurriedly stood up:

"Your Majesty absolutely must not. If it is for the purpose of multiplying the royal blood, it is enough to have four or five wives and concubines. Your Majesty is already rich in the beauties of the harem. If you choose another two thousand women to enter the palace, I am afraid that your Majesty will indulge in wine and sex and miss the world."

Emperor Xin was a little unhappy when he heard this, but he couldn't turn against this veteran of three dynasties, so he could only say:

"What the Prime Minister said is true. He is really a minister of the humerus, so let's let this matter go."

So, this time the Great Court will end like this.

Two years later, when it was time for the princes to pay homage, the four princes from the southeast, northwest and north respectively led their two hundred towns to come to pay homage.

It happened that Fei Zhongyouhun was the minister who was ordered to receive the princes. The two of them had no other characteristic except greed.

No matter what spiritual materials, spiritual treasures, spiritual stones, magnificent treasures, ancient objects and beauties, they are all welcome, and the princes also know the nature of these two people.

As the saying goes, the king of hell is easy to mess with, and the little devil is difficult to deal with, and the princes are not as knowledgeable as them. Isn't it just a gift?There was no shortage of three melons and two dates, so most of the princes gave them away.

But there are always a few people in every group who are different from others. Jizhou Hou Suhu is such a person. Suhu has a strong temper and will not tolerate bribery. If someone commits an offense, Suhu will definitely bring him to justice. Fa, he was the only one among the eight hundred princes who did not give gifts to Fei Zhongyouhun.

Fei Zhongyouhun must not tolerate this kind of behavior. Among the eight hundred princes, you are the only one who is special. You are the only one who doesn’t give gifts. If you don’t deal with it, how can you deserve the title of "capable minister"?

Therefore, during the Shang Dynasty's great dynasty meeting, the princes from all over the world met. In fact, it was a report meeting. The princes from all over the world reported on the number of monks under their rule, the living conditions of the people, and the crime rate in their own fiefdoms.

At this time, the luck of the Shang Dynasty had not yet declined. A black black bird soared in the sea of ​​luck, making a loud neighing from time to time. Judging from its power, even the Hunyuan Saint would not feel comfortable if he touched it.

With the protection of luck, the Shang Dynasty was naturally in good weather and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. It was naturally a prosperous age.After reporting on his work and retreating from the court, Di Xin returned to the apse. Unexpectedly, Fei Zhong Youhun also followed him.

Di Xin asked doubtfully: "You two gentlemen, do you have anything else important to do?"

Fei Zhong and Youhun looked at each other, and finally Fei Zhong took a step forward and said:

"My lord, Fei Zhong has something to report."

"allow!"

"Two years ago, we wanted to ask the princes from all over the world to offer five hundred beauties. Over the past two years, the two of us have also reflected on our mistakes and finally felt that it was inappropriate. We come here to apologize to Your Majesty."

After saying that, the two of them bowed down and their heads hit the ground of Jiujian Hall heavily.

Di Xin looked surprised. He knew these two guys relatively well, so he never left military affairs to them. When did he become so enlightened?He replied calmly:

"As long as you know your mistakes and can correct them, you two ministers are doing this for the sake of our great merchants for generations to come, so I forgive you and others for being innocent."

The two of them got up at once.And said:
"Both of us are aware of the dangers of arrogance and extravagance. If Your Majesty accepts two thousand women, you will definitely break your trust with the people of the world. Therefore, we have been looking for a suitable girl from a good family for Your Majesty for the past two years, and now we have found something."

Di Xin waved his hands impatiently after hearing this. In his eyes, except for Nuwa, everyone else was indifferent, so he interrupted them before Fei Zhongyouhun could finish speaking:

"No need, there is no shortage of women in the world."

Fei Zhong hurriedly stepped forward, took out a scroll from the storage space, and said flatteringly, "It's not too late, Your Majesty."

After saying that, he unfolded the scroll. As an important minister of a great merchant, Fei Zhong used precious treasures. The scroll was a rare treasure, and the people painted on it were the same as real people.

I saw a woman with dark clouds on her temples, an apricot face and peach cheeks, a light spring mountain, a delicate waist and willows. On the tip of her tongue was a beautiful and harmonious air, and her eyes turned like two curved phoenixes. She was looking at a supreme beauty.

really.When Di Xin saw the portrait, he couldn't move his eyes away. He couldn't control his body and walked forward. He touched the painting lightly with his fingers. His straight eyes deeply explained the appearance of Lao Sepi.

When Fei Zhong saw Di Xin's appearance, he knew that the matter was settled.

Emperor Xin asked, "Who is the woman in your painting?"

"Your Majesty, this is Su Daji, the daughter of Su Hu in Jizhou."

Di Xin put down his hand touching the painting and raised his head. The majesty of a human king appeared again. He ordered:

"Xuan Jizhou Hou Su protects the audience."

Not long after, a middle-aged man with an upright appearance, dressed in fine clothes, and an upright appearance walked into the Nine Rooms Hall. He bowed and said:

"My lord, Suhu, the Marquis of Jizhou, is here to see your Majesty."

"Get up! I heard that you have a daughter with a gentle temperament and dignified appearance. Wouldn't it be beautiful if you allowed her to enter the palace as a concubine? If you are a relative of the country, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Su Hu looked troubled. It would be good to marry his daughter to the royal family, but it would be bad if his daughter was already engaged.
