Prehistoric: Lord of the Nine Heavens at the Beginning, the Mythical Kunpeng

Chapter 294 Chonghou Hu was humiliated, and the four princes faced each other

After Ji Chang said goodbye to Yun Zhongzi, he headed towards Chaoge City. He didn't encounter anything else on the way and arrived at the Jinting Inn in Chaoge City smoothly.

When Ji Chang arrived at the post house, the other three princes were already waiting there.

They are Dongbohou Jiang Hengchu, Nanbohou E Chongyu, and Beibohou Chonghou Hu.

When the three of them heard that Xibo Hou Jichang had arrived, they hurried out to greet him and ordered his servants to arrange wine and food for the four of them to drink together.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Ji Changcai asked: "Three worthy princes, do you know why the emperor called us here?"

"Even if something big happens in Chaoge City, Wucheng King Huang Feihu and Yabi Qian are all great talents. Why would they summon us?"

The Marquis of Nanbo, E Chongyu, always looked down upon Chonghou Hu, the Marquis of Beibei, and formed cliques for personal gain. I have wasted money and people, and now I have drunk a little wine, just to prevent Chonghou Tiger from coming down.

E Chongyu smiled, looked at Ji Chang and Jiang Hengchu, and said, "I have a few words that I want to say to Bei Bohou Chonghou Hu."

Chonghou Hu did not doubt his presence and agreed with a smile.

E Chongyu said: "The princes of the world should look up to our four horses."

"I heard that you, Bei Bohou, have done many evil things and formed cliques for personal gain. When you built the Star-Zhain Tower for the Hunjun, you used a lot of civilians. If you don't change your ways, you may be in trouble soon!"

Chonghou Hu didn't expect that E Chongyu would talk about him like this, and he became furious.

Like E Chongyu, he is a first-class minister. How can the four major princes stand this anger?

Immediately, he stood up, relying on the support of the treacherous ministers Fei Zhong, You Hun and others in the court, and wanted to compete with E Chongyu.

Ji Chang and Jiang Hengchu saw this and hurriedly stopped in the middle.

Ji Chang persuaded: "Chonghou Hu, E Chongyu's advice to you is all good. If it is correct, change it, and if it is not, you will be encouraged. Are you still planning to beat E Chongyu?"

When Chonghou Hu saw Ji Chang speaking, he didn't dare to say more and was about to sit down.

Unexpectedly, E Chongyu picked up a wine bottle at this time and smashed it directly into Chonghou Hu's face.

Chonghou Hu was furious again, and when he was about to take action, he was stopped by Dongbohou Jiang Hengchu. The reason was that it was not respectable for ministers to fight, so he asked Chonghou Hu to go back to sleep first and talk about anything tomorrow.

Chong Houhu knew that Jiang Hengchu, Ji Chang, and E Chongyu were colluding with each other to look good for themselves. He was furious and secretly thought about how powerful the three of them could be.

After Chonghou Hu left, Ji Chang and the other three continued to drink.

Without Chonghou Hu, the atmosphere instantly became much more harmonious.

Just as the three of them were pushing cups and changing cups, they suddenly heard someone say: "I was so happy to drink today, but it's a pity that I will die tomorrow."

The three of them were shocked and hurriedly looked for the speaker.

After searching for a long time, I finally found a man who claimed to be Yao Fu.

Yao Fu explained that he was a servant of the official's family. He once overheard that Queen Jiang died tragically in the palace, and King Zhou called the four princes to behead her together, eradicate the roots, and prevent the four princes from rebelling.

When he saw the three of them drinking heavily, he couldn't bear to see the three of them die, so he said those words casually.

Jiang Hengchu was Empress Jiang's father. When he heard that his daughter died tragically, he quickly asked why.

Yao Fu hurriedly told the story about King Zhou's unruly killing of Queen Jiang and his plans to kill His Highnesses Yin Jiao and Yin Hong.

When Jiang Hengchu heard this, his heart was twisted like a knife, he cried out in pain and fell to the ground.

Ji Chang quickly asked someone to help Jiang Hengchu up.

Jiang Hengchu cried bitterly and said that he had never heard of a queen being punished so severely since ancient times. Ji Chang comforted Jiang Hengchu gently and prepared to go to court the next day to persuade King Zhou and clear Queen Jiang's grievances.

Jiang Hengchu was afraid that King Zhou would anger Ji Chang and E Chongyu, so he refused their good intentions and insisted that he could just go and remonstrate.

When Fei Zhong heard that the four princes had stayed at the post, he was so happy that he secretly entered the palace from the side hall and told King Zhou that the four princes had arrived.

King Zhou was overjoyed and thought that the four great princes would definitely report a memorial tomorrow. At that time, he would find any reason to behead all the four great princes. The princes in the world would be leaderless.

King Zhou rewarded Fei Zhong heavily and asked him to work harder the next day. After hearing this, Fei Zhong said that he would try his best to relieve his majesty's worries, so he returned to his home from the side hall.

Early the next morning, King Zhou went to court for the rare occasion.

When the four princes met, Jiang Hengchu presented the memorial, but Yabigan took it away and stood aside.

King Zhou was ready to take a pre-emptive strike and asked Jiang Hengchu directly: "Jiang Hengchu, do you know your crime?"

Jiang Hengchu argued hard, saying that he guarded Donglu and obeyed the law, so he had no sin.

On the contrary, King Zhou listened to the slander, doted on beauties, did not care about the feelings of the original couple, and committed murder, even his own children.

King Zhou listened to Daji's deception, re-appointed Fei Zhong and other treacherous ministers, and burned Mei Bo and other loyal ministers. This was the fuse that led to the demise of Chengtang Jiangshan.

These kinds of statements just hit King Zhou's weakness.

What King Zhou hates most is that others say that his country is about to end. The second thing is that he favors Daji and puts villains in high regard.

King Zhou was immediately furious and wanted to put Jiang Hengchu to death.

King Zhou cursed loudly. Jiang Hengchu conspired with his daughter Queen Jiang to kill him and usurp the throne. Now he actually confused right and wrong and tried to escape punishment. It was extremely shameless.

King Zhou slapped the table in front of him with such force that the memorials on the table shook.

"Come here, drag this old man out of the Meridian Gate and chop him into pieces. Let the world know that the national law is majestic!"

Jiang Hengchu was still cursing. The pain of losing his daughter and the disappearance of his two nephews had made Jiang Hengchu, the dignified leader of the four princes, lose his mind.

The guards tied Jiang Hengchu with ropes, stripped off his clothes, and prepared to drag him out of the Meridian Gate and hack him to death.

At this time, Xibohou Jichang, along with Nanbohou E Chongyu and Beibohou Chonghou Hu, slowly stood up.

Ji Chang led the two of them, slowly knelt down and said, "I and the other three of you also have memorials to report."

When King Zhou saw it, he was overjoyed.

I am not afraid that you will have memorials, but I am afraid that you will act like a coward.

You have become a coward, and I have no good way to deal with you yet.

As long as you submit a memorial, no matter what you say, I can find a reason to eradicate you all.

Ji Chang also knew that King Zhou was waiting for him to submit a memorial, but as a minister, Ji Chang had no choice but to do it.

Moreover, Ji Chang was good at divination, so he felt relieved knowing that he would not be in danger of death this time.

King Zhou sat on the dragon chair and looked at Ji Chang and the others with a playful expression: "Xibohou, Nanbohou, and Beibohou, do you have any memorials to report?"
