Honghuang clan

Chapter 201

In the eighth year of King Zhou, in the fourth month of summer, the four princes of the world led eight hundred towns to make a pilgrimage to Shang.The princes of the four towns are Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu, Nanbohou Echongyu, Xibohou Jichang, and Beibohou Chonghouhu.At this time, the Grand Master Wen Zhongshang was in Beihai, annihilating Yuan Futong, and King Zhou favored Fei Zhong and You Hun.All the princes know that the two control the government and exercise power without authorization, so they should not bribe them first to tie their hearts.

Among them is Hou Suhu of Jizhou. This man's nature is like a fire, and he is upright and upright. How can he know that he is destined to be competitive? In the past, when he saw a little injustice and lawlessness, he was punished by law. There were many pretexts, so neither of them gave any gifts. .It's also a coincidence. On that day, the two checked that all the princes in the world had gifts, but Du Suhu didn't have a list of etiquette. He was very angry and held a grudge.

On the day of the great dynasty, the princes of the four towns neatly dressed in court clothes, swayed the jade pei lightly, entered the Meridian Gate, walked across the Jiulong Bridge, and arrived at Danchi.After King Zhou comforted the princes, he ordered Prime Ministers Shang Rong and Ya Bigan to hold a banquet in Xianqing Hall.The four ministers kowtowed their heads to thank them, and left Danchi to Xianqing Hall, where they had a feast in sequence.

After the banquet was dismissed and all the princes and princes of the four towns returned to the post house to rest, King Zhou announced Fei Zhongyouhun to the main hall again.

After the two worshiped, King Zhou said to the two with a serious face
"A few days ago, the two lovers acted like the lonely king, and wanted the lonely king to recruit beauties from the four towns into the palace to serve the lonely king. Now the four princes are actually in power, and the lonely king wants to go to court tomorrow morning. The purpose is to let the princes of the four towns pay tribute to the beauties of the four towns, what do you two lovers think?"

Fei Zhongyou and Hun couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard King Zhou's words, their eyes lit up, then Fei Zhong hurried forward to bow down and said

"Show my king, the Prime Minister of Shang Rong refused to advise the tribute to beauties, my king will be accurate, this is my king's virtue, how can I recruit the beauties of the four towns into the palace today? All the ministers know, all the common people We all know that the world admires you. Once you go back to work today, your majesty is not enough to win the trust of your subjects, so it is absolutely impossible.

In addition, the minister visited today. Hou Suhu in Jizhou has a beloved daughter named Daji, who is beautiful and beautiful, with a leisurely and gentle personality.Moreover, my king summoned a woman into the palace without disturbing the people of the world. Naturally, it would not cause opposition from the court. Wouldn't it be better? "

King Zhou was overjoyed when he heard what Fei Zhongyouhun and his wife had said, and hurriedly ordered people to recruit Jizhou Hou Suhu into the palace overnight.

After Su Hu entered the palace to worship, King Zhou immediately said to Su Hu in a pleasant manner
"Aiqing, the lonely king once heard that there is a beloved daughter under Aiqing's knees. She has been virtuous and virtuous since she was a child. She has a beautiful appearance and is worthy of great use. Therefore, the lonely king wants to invite her into the palace to accompany her. Since then, Qing has been a relative of the state and eats her. Tianlu, accepting his prominent position, will live in Jizhou forever, enjoy peace and well-being, and be famous all over the world. Everyone in the world is envious. I don’t know what you want?"

After hearing King Zhou's words, Su Hu saw the sly smiles on the faces of Fei Zhongyouhun and the two next to him, and knew in his heart that this was when Fei Zhongyouhun and the other two retaliated against him for entering the court, and they were not as filial as these two. Thinking of this, Su Hu couldn't help but hate secretly, but at this time King Zhou was here again, and he couldn't show it, so he hurriedly bowed and said
"My king, Rongzhi, I have heard that in your majesty's palace, from the concubines to the maids, they are all virtuous and beautiful, and the daughters of the ministers are just like the willows, and they are not familiar with etiquette. I beg your majesty to pay attention to the country's foundation, and quickly kill this villain who advances in slander, so that future generations will know that your majesty is upright and self-cultivating, accepts words and listens to advice, and is not a lustful king, wouldn't it be beautiful!"

Hearing Su Hu's words, King Zhou was furious in his heart that Su Hu didn't know what to do, but he still said with a smile on his face.

"What Aiqing said is not true. Since ancient times, who would not want a courtier's daughter to accompany him in the palace? The lonely king is the son of heaven. If he marries into our family, the courtier's daughter will be in the same position as the three princes. What's wrong with this move? Besides, Aiqing After my beloved daughter enters the palace, Aiqing is a relative of the emperor, her status is honorable, and her status is nothing more than that, concubine must think twice, don't make mistakes and ruin her bright future."

Hearing what King Zhou said, Su Hu couldn't help being very angry in his heart. Impulsively, he said

"My king has listened. I have heard that when a ruler cultivates morality and diligence, all the people will be satisfied. The four seas will follow, and the heavenly wealth will die forever. De Mao Mao officials, Gong Mao Mao Mao rewards, Ke Kuan Keren, only then can cut off the Zheng Xia, show the trust and the people, the state will be prosperous, and the fate of heaven will be preserved forever. Your Majesty does not follow the ancestors, but imitates the King of Xia. This is the way to defeat. What's more, if a ruler loves sex, he will overthrow the country; if a high official loves sex, he will destroy the ancestral temple; Comparing a friend to a traitor, the world is still tolerating words! I fear that the merchant's six-hundred-year-old foundation will be disrupted by Your Majesty."

King Zhou was furious when he heard what Su Hu said, and with a snap, he slapped the royal case in front of him hard, stood up, and shouted loudly:
"Bold Su Hu, the lonely king loves you because you have guarded Jizhou for generations and have done great merit to our great merchants. I would like to invite your daughter into the palace to accompany you, so as to give you a prominent status. I didn't expect you It is hateful to be so ignorant of good and bad, wantonly insulting the lonely king, and disobeying the will of the lonely king, come here, take this disobedient Su Hu and the lonely king."

The guards guarding outside the palace immediately rushed forward after hearing King Zhou's words, and pressed Su Hu under His Highness. Just when everyone was about to push Su Hu down, Fei Zhong hurriedly stood up, bowed and said to King Zhou
"My king can't, Su Hu's guarding Jizhou has done great merit to our great business, but today my king will take this Su Hu because of his daughter's affairs. If this matter is spread, it will insult my king's virtue." In my opinion, my king might as well let this Su Hu go. I think that after Su Hu goes back, he will be grateful for His Majesty's kindness. At that time, he will send his daughter to the court to serve my king, and When the people of the world hear about my king's virtue of tolerance, they will also be grateful for my king's virtue, and spread the word of my king's tolerance and generosity. Wouldn't it be better to kill two birds with one stone?"

Hearing Fei Zhong's words, King Zhou couldn't help but bow his head and ponder for a moment, then nodded in agreement, and then ordered the guards to release Su Hu without charge.

After Su Hu returned to the post house, the more he thought about today's events, the more angry he felt in his heart. On a whim, he couldn't help ordering someone to fetch the Four Treasures of the Study, and wrote four lines of poetry on the Chaoge City Gate

"The ruler is bad and the ministers are the guide, and there are five permanent defeats. Jizhou Suhu, never go to business!"

Afterwards, Su Hu threw away the pen and ink in his hand, turned around, took his family generals, left Chaoge, and returned to Jizhou.

At this time, King Zhou, just because of Su Hu's ignorance of good and evil, was also depressed. Suddenly, his subordinates reported that Su Hu wrote an anti-poetry on the city gate and led the crowd to leave. King Zhou heard the news , suddenly furious, and immediately led the army to conquer Jizhou in person, and took the rebel Su Hu, who knew no good or evil, back to Chaoge.

All the civil and military officials in Chaoge were shocked when they heard that King Zhou was about to personally conquer Jizhou. Everyone had heard that Su Hu, Hou Suhu of Jizhou, thought he was upright and loyal, but now he is abnormal. The anti-poetry caused King Zhou to conquer Jizhou himself. How can everyone be shocked when they hear this?Therefore, he entered the palace overnight to meet King Zhou.

After everyone has performed the salute like King Zhou, Wu Cheng Wang Huang Feihu can go out to play the Taoism
"Show my king, Su Hu is ignorant, dare to disobey my king, and write an anti-poetry on the city gate, this matter should be left to the ministers to go out, how can I bother my king to fight? Besides, the princes of the four towns now They are all waiting for orders in the court song, my king can order one or two princes to raise troops, why bother my king to go in person?"

After hearing Huang Feihu's words, King Zhou felt that it was reasonable, so he immediately ordered all the princes of the four towns to enter the palace.

At this time, the princes of the four towns who were resting in the post house had already received the anti-poetry written by Su Hu and led the crowd back to Jizhou. Now they are all waiting in the post house, and the guards in the palace who are listening now Come to Xuan, come to the palace in a hurry.

After the crowd had performed the ceremony like King Zhou, King Zhou looked at the crowd and said:

"This Su Hu of Jizhou is a rebel and offender. The lonely king loves him to guard Jizhou, and he has done great business with me, so he pardons his crimes. But today, this ignorant Su Hu dares to openly write an anti-poetry on the gate of our Chaoge city. , led the crowd to leave, this matter really hurt my great merchant's face, so the lonely king decided to send one or two princes to raise troops to rebel against the thief Su Hu, to prove my great merchant's face, I don't know, dear friends, who is willing to lead the army , go to Jizhou, and arrest that ignorant Su Hu?"

After hearing King Zhou's words, the princes of the four towns looked at each other for a while, and then Chonghou Hu came out of the class to play

"I report to my king that Su Hu of Jizhou belongs to the northern part of my subordinates. Now that Su Hu is rebelling against the merchants, I really have committed the crime of not being investigated. Therefore, my subordinates are willing to lead troops Su Hu and take Su Hu's family Young and old, capture Chaoge and let the king do what he wants."

When King Zhou entered Chonghouhu and voluntarily went to war, he was overjoyed immediately, and immediately gave Chonghouhu a tiger amulet to mobilize troops and order him to send troops to go to war.

On one side, Shang Rong had heard that the Chonghou tiger was extremely brutal, so he was afraid that the Chonghou tiger would send troops to attack Jizhou, which would make the people of Jizhou uneasy. Send troops □□Su Hu, King Zhou heard it, and immediately played it.

Then the princes of the four towns led their families back to the towns, and Chonghou Hu and Ji Chang began to organize their troops and prepare to send troops to Jizhou.

This Ji Chang is a descendant of Xuanyuan, the ancient holy emperor. On the surface, he is virtuous, loyal and filial, but in fact he is ambitious. He never thinks about overthrowing the Great Shang Dynasty and replacing it. However, the Great Shang Dynasty is now flourishing, and Ji Chang really has no chance. Therefore, I have endured it until now. When I heard about King Zhou's actions and Su Hu's rebellion today, I immediately felt that my time was ripe, and it was time to carry out secret actions. Therefore, after returning to Xiqi, I immediately called Civil and military officials told everyone about Su Hu's rebellion against Shang and King Zhou's order to kill him.

After Xiqi Wenwu heard about this, they bowed their heads and thought carefully. After a while, Zhou Gongdan got up and saluted and said:

"Reporting to my lord, this matter seems to be my opportunity in Xiqi. My lord can prepare soldiers to attack Jizhou first, and my lord will lead the troops slowly. If Su Hu defeats Chonghou Tiger , then we can secretly join forces with Su Hu. If this Chonghouhu and Su Hu have a match, we can also take Su Hu by surprise, and write meritorious deeds in front of King Zhou. Hou Hu, if you defeat Su Hu, we can persuade Su Hu to surrender in advance, so as to spread the name of the virtuous lord. Regardless of the final result of the three, I, Xiqi, can take this opportunity to accumulate popularity and soldiers. Wouldn't it be great to do this? ?”

When Ji Chang heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Chonghouhu. After Chonghouhu sent the letter to Jichang, he didn't think much about it, and immediately led a large army to Jizhou.
