The Strongest Virtuous Saint in the Great Antiquity

Mei Bo also quickly agreed: "What Taishi Bigan said is true, and the Marquis of Xibo has never been disrespectful in the slightest."

Even Shang Rong frowned and asked, "Did the King listen to any rumors or misunderstood?"

Seeing this, Emperor Yi was not annoyed, but looked at the silent Wen Zhong and said, "Master Wen, what do you think?"

From Wen Zhong's point of view, like other courtiers, he did not believe that the Marquis of Xibo would rebel, and had no intention of being a minister. After all, Ji Chang had performed very well over the years.

The upper respects the court, the king of Shang, and the lower cherishes the common people. He is loved by the common people and the little princes, and has a very good reputation. How could such a person rebel?

But Di B is also a famous monarch. Since his reign, he has almost never made any wrong decisions, which is enough to prove that Di B at least has a very good vision.

So since Di Yi had already shown his doubts about Ji Chang, Wen Zhong had to start thinking about why Di Yi suspected Ji Chang...

Wen Zhong thought about it carefully, and Di Yi also waited patiently for Wen Zhong's answer.

After an unknown period of time, Wen Zhong's expression was very solemn, and he looked up at Di Yi with a hint of inconceivable in his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, what do you care about, is it something about Ji Li when the previous king was alive?"

"Oh, after all, it was still thought of by you, Master Wen."

Di Yi nodded with satisfaction and smiled at Wen Zhong,

The so-called Ji Li, the father of Ji Chang, whose real name is Ji Li, is also known as Ji Li because he is the fourth oldest, according to the ranking of his uncle Ji.

Jichang's title of Marquis of Xibo was not won by himself, but inherited from his father Ji Li.

In Xian 030, when Wang Wending was alive, Ji Li fought against the surrounding Rong and Di tribes and continued to expand their military strength. Wen Ding was very afraid of Ji Li, but he did not want to use the sword, so he first took his daughter, Di Yi's sister Tai Tai. Ren married Ji Li and wanted to tie Ji Li completely.

But who knows that although Ji Li pretends to be very good on the surface, he is still developing his military strength in private. Wen Ding is really helpless, so Ji Li is conferred the title of Marquis of Xibo to court. Song, and then put Ji Li under house arrest until Ji Li died.

Before Ji Li went to Chaoge, Tai Ren was already pregnant with Ji Chang. Wen Ding wanted to cut the grass and root, but Tai Ren was his own daughter after all, and Ji Chang was his own grandson. Wen Ding could not bear it, so in the end , and did not set the charge of rebellion on Ji Li, but only said that Ji Li died of illness, and few outsiders knew the truth of Ji Li's death.

Wen Zhong was an official in the dynasty during Wen Ding's period, and was a military general trusted by Wen Ding, so he was the only one who knew the truth about Ji Li's death at the moment among the ministers in front of Emperor Yi.

Bigan and others didn't know what happened back then, so the conversation between Di Yi and Wen Zhong sounded like a book from heaven to them.

Bigan couldn't help but wonder in his heart, cupped his hands and asked, "Brother Wang, Ji Li, didn't he die of illness? What does this have to do with the Marquis of Xibo?".

Chapter [-] I would rather believe it or not

】 Chapter [-] I would rather believe that it has or not that it is not. Chapter [-] I would rather believe that it is or not that it is not. Hearing Bi Gan's question, all the ministers also looked at Emperor Yi.

Di Yi sighed softly, and then said: "The widow wanted to keep this matter in my heart and continued to observe Ji Chang's actions secretly, but the matter of conferring gods and calamities that the Shang minister said, after all, still made the widow feel that there were quite a lot of variables. If you don't tell all the ministers, the future son will be succeeded, and he will not be Ji Chang's opponent..."

Having said this, Di Yi looked at the crowd very seriously and said, "Qing Qing, Ji Chang's father Ji Li did not die of illness, but died of hunger strike under house arrest by the late king. Therefore, it is said that Ji Li was killed by the late king. Not too much."

"!!"

Hearing such explosive news, all the ministers present except Wen Zhong were shocked. They never thought that the truth of Ji Li's death that year was actually like this? !

"In those days, Ji Li wanted to expand the territory and expand the military force. The first king ordered to stop it one after another. Ji Li promised on the surface, but he was unscrupulous in private. After slandering Ji Li to enter the dynasty, he was placed under house arrest, but who knew that Ji Li was also a tough person, after knowing the truth, he went on hunger strike and died..."

"Later, the late king took care of his family and never killed Ji Li's family. He only claimed that Ji Li died of illness and was buried in accordance with the etiquette of the princes. Few people know about this. just found out about it.”

After a pause, Di Yi looked at Wen Zhong and said, "Taishi Wen should have experienced this in the past, so although the late king never said it explicitly, Taishi Wen should have guessed it."

All the ministers looked at Wen Zhong, who nodded with a wry smile.

Among the ministers present, Wen Zhong was the most qualified, and even Bi Gan was not qualified. When he became an official in the court, Bi Gan was still a prince without any position. It was only when he officially entered the dynasty to assist Emperor Yi.

So Wen Zhong knew a lot of things that everyone present didn't know, and everyone didn't find it strange at all, but thought it was normal.

After everyone digested this fact, Bigan hesitated for a while, and then cupped his hands and said: "Brother Wang, since we know very little about this matter, then Ji Chang probably doesn't know the truth of Ji Li's death. Will there be disobedience?" "

After listening to Shang Rong and others, they also felt that what Bi Gan said was reasonable.

Since Ji Chang doesn't know how his father died, then he has no motivation to rebel, right?

Di Yi shook his head slightly and said, "However, he probably already knew about it."

"How did the king find out about this?" Mei Bo asked in surprise.

"Last year, when the princes from all over the world paid tribute, Ji Chang also came to the court in person. After the tribute, Ji Chang went to Ji Li's tomb alone to worship. This was not a big deal. Gongzhi went to worship Ji Li, but last year after he went to Ji Li’s tomb, he went to the place where Ji Li was under house arrest…”

At the end of Di Yi's words, his face darkened.

The place where Wen Ding placed Ji Li under house arrest was not in the palace, but in another mansion, which has now become a ruin.

How could Ji Chang suddenly go to a ruined place to feel nostalgia for the past without knowing it?

In fact, in all seriousness, Ji Chang just stayed on the ruins for a while, and didn't make any move.

But Di Yi was always on guard against Ji Chang, and Ji Chang had never been to that place before, so when Ji Chang acted like this last year, Di Yi had to think more.

After listening to Di B's words, the ministers fell silent. Although they instinctively felt that Di B was thinking too much, at this time, it was not such a thing to say.

Although they have a good relationship with Ji Chang and trust Ji Chang's character, they still know whose food they eat and whose servant they are.

Di Yi has spoken to this level, so naturally they will not refute Di Yi again.

Seeing the silence of all the ministers, Emperor Yi also said to himself: "The widow also knows that this matter may be a bit groundless, and the widow does not have enough evidence to prove that Ji Chang has no intention of being a minister. Of course, the widow is on the throne. Believe it or not, it is good that Ji Chang has no rebellious heart, but if there is, the few people make preparations early, and they can prevent it from happening!"

This is the emperor's mind, and Bigan and the others also heard what Di Yi meant. He just suspects that Ji Chang may rebel, so he told everyone to take precautions early, just to be prepared, not to hurt Ji Chang, If Ji Chang did not rebel, he would naturally be hello, me, everyone, but if he rebelled, Yin Shang would be able to attack in time to reduce losses.

This is an old-fashioned plan for the country, how can the ministers oppose it?

Therefore, everyone responded in unison: ".'Your Majesty is wise!"

Emperor Yi nodded, then looked at everyone seriously and said, "You must keep this matter in your mind, the matter of establishing a prince will be settled early tomorrow, and as for the latter two matters, it will be scheduled for this year when the princes from all over the world pay tribute. , bring it up again."
