"Bo Yi Kao?" Zu An was stunned, remembering that period of history in his memory.
It seems that Ji Chang was imprisoned by King Zhou, and then the Western Zhou Dynasty sent his eldest son Ji Boyikao to redeem him with various treasures and gifts. As a result, Daji saw that he was handsome and wanted to seduce him. Unexpectedly, he was unmoved and scolded him. Daji became angry and went straight into the palace. He offered slanderous words and chopped Boyikao into meat sauce and gave it to Ji Chang to eat...
Daji charmed the world and was famous throughout history for her stunning beauty. How could she lose control of herself just by seeing a young man? This is obviously a deliberate attempt by later generations to discredit Daji.
As for this world, Zu An was naturally not worried that Pei Mianman next to him would fall in love with a pretty boy. Instead, he felt happy and hurriedly asked his subordinates: "Is that guy Ji Chang being imprisoned here?"
"Yes," the subordinate replied, "Prince Xibohou came here this time to redeem his life for Xibohou."
"Redemption?" Zu An sneered. How could he let them go? There were still a lot of things to settle with them.
"Let him in!" Zu An thought about what happened with the three colors in his previous life, and he had too many doubts and anger in his heart.
Soon a young man walked in, and he had to admit that he was indeed a very talented person, but he was only a little bit inferior to me.
"Ji Boyikao goes to see your Majesty, Your Majesty." The young man's attitude was respectful and he couldn't find any fault.
"What brought you here?" Zu An said coldly.
Boyikao's heart skipped a beat, feeling that the other party's tone was unkind, so he still said: "I came here this time to bring a gift to redeem my father, and I hope that the king will show your kindness."
In ancient times, even if two countries were at war, the captured party could redeem it with property. What's more, Zhou State is still a vassal state of Shang in name only, and the two sides have not gone to war.
"Redemption?" Zu An was noncommittal, but looked at him and asked, "Who is your mother?"
"My mother?" Ji Boyikao was startled, with a strange look on his face. He thought to himself that he had heard of this guy's debauchery, could he be plotting against my mother?
This is simply unreasonable!
The anger value from Ji Boyikao is +999!
But now people had to bow their heads under the eaves. He suppressed his anger and replied in a deep voice: "My mother's name is Taisi, she is a daughter of the Shen Kingdom."
"What about the three colors?" Zu An then asked. He wanted to know if the two worlds were connected in common.
Pei Mianman secretly held his hand, obviously also very concerned about Sancai's affairs, for fear that the two worlds would have nothing to do with each other and there would be no news about Sancai again.
"Three colors?" Ji Boyikao's eyes flashed with confusion.
Zu An said in a deep voice: "She is my sister... ahem, my aunt, she married your father back then."
Although they were brother and sister in the previous life, now his identity is Di Xin and he is her nephew.
Ji Boyi was stunned for a while: "It turns out to be the aunt. She died in childbirth when she was an old man. I was not born that year, so I don't know the details.
condition. "
Zu An breathed a sigh of relief. There were indeed three colors in this world, so he must find out the truth.
Pei Mianman on the side sneered: "You are obviously lying if you are so eager to clear up your relationship."
Ji Boyikao glanced at her, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by panic: "What I said is a fact that everyone knows, and I didn't lie."
Zu An said in a deep voice: "Everyone knows it, but it may not be the truth. Come, take him down and torture him about what happened back then!"
Ji Boyikao was shocked. At this time, everyone around him also tried to dissuade him: "Your Majesty, you must not do it. Ji Boyikao is the heir apparent of the Western Zhou Dynasty. His previous imprisonment of Ji Chang has already created tensions with the Western Zhou Dynasty. If he is imprisoned again, , this is the rhythm of completely breaking up and starting a war."
"Let's start a war. Are we still afraid of this?" Zu An was upset. The affairs of the Western Zhou Dynasty had been weighing on his mind for so long and they had to be resolved.
What's more, this time it was related to Sancai, and he had to find out no matter what.
The people on the left and right were still trying to persuade me, but Pei Mianman on the side was annoyed: "I heard that Boyikao brought a lot of gifts this time, and you all spoke for him one by one. Could it be that you also accepted his money?"
Having said this, no one else dared to say anything else. Soon Ji Boyikao was taken away and thrown into prison.
Zu An asked people to interrogate him about the tricolor incident back then, but he also knew that the result would not be obtained in a short time, so he decided to meet Ji Chang in prison first.
When I saw him again, I found that he didn't look much different than he did back then. He was just more mature, had grown a lot of beard, and had traces of time on his face.
Zu An was a little surprised that they looked exactly the same. Could it be that the world was really connected.
At this time, Ji Chang also stared at him with some surprise. After a long time, he sighed: "The king and the late king are so similar."
The two met by the Wei River in their previous life, but I didn't expect that he still had this memory.
Zu An narrowed his eyes: "Ji Chang, do you know why I lock you here?"
Ji Chang said calmly: "Your Majesty has your own reasons for locking me up here. I don't dare to speculate on my own behavior as a minister."
Zu An frowned, this guy was indeed an old fox, with an unfathomable look.
He didn't have time to play this kind of riddle game with the other party, so he went straight to the point: "What did you do to my...aunt Sancai back then, and why did he die?"
Ji Chang was stunned and replied: "When Sancai died in childbirth, I was devastated. Alas, if she had not died so early, our relationship with the king would not be so tense now."
Zu An had been observing his expression just now, but he didn't see any sign of panic, which made him a little suspicious. Did San Cai really just die of natural causes back then?
Pei Mianman on the side snorted coldly: "There is no way Sancai died in childbirth. Back then I... cough cough
, many people in the palace even specially taught her some production-related knowledge, just because they were worried that she would have such problems. "
Ji Chang replied: "The moon waxes and wanes, and people have their fortunes and misfortunes. Many things cannot be completely controlled by humans. Everything is arranged by God. I was also very sad when Sancai died in childbirth, but I can only sigh. She was destined for this fate."
Zu An sneered and said, "According to you, San Cai was ordered to die by God?"
Ji Chang replied calmly: "I didn't say that. God's will is unpredictable, and I don't dare to speculate on it myself."
Zu An knew that it was useless for him to talk to such an experienced old fox, so he called people in directly: "Come here, torture him and see what happened back then!"
Ji Chang's expression remained unchanged: "Since ancient times, officials have not been punished. I am afraid that doing so would be inconsistent with etiquette, and it would also completely affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries."
"Diplomatic relations? You Zhou people are so ambitious, do you really think I don't know about it!" Zu An waved his hand, signaling for his men to start.
The Shang Dynasty had a lot of punishments, and the king ordered it, and the one he found was naturally a good one.
Ji Chang sighed: "Your Majesty, if you act in such a rebellious manner, I'm afraid it will arouse criticism from everyone in the world."
Zu An obviously didn't have time to argue with him, so he turned around and left. Before leaving, he paused: "I know you are very hard-boned, and I probably can't get anything out of your mouth. But I hope Boyi will take the test." I can resist as well as you.”
Hearing these words, Ji Chang's expression finally changed.
Zu An and Pei Mianman went directly to Boyikao's cell on the other side to check. From far away, they could hear Boyikao's various screams and curses. The various punishment methods inside made their eyelids jump. It was really too shocking. It was tragic.
After watching for a while, both of them couldn't bear it, so they went directly outside to wait.
After a while, the person in the cell came to report: "He is willing to recruit."
Zu An and Pei Mianman's eyes moved and they hurried in. At this time, Boyikao no longer looked as handsome as before. His whole body was beaten to a bloody pulp and he was dying.
He had to admit that this guy's bones were quite strong, and he was able to persist for so long.
Seeing the two people coming in, Boyikao's mouth moved. He had scolded fiercely just now, but now he didn't even have the strength to curse. He just said weakly: "I just want to die quickly..."
Many times, life is more painful than death. He understands the current situation, and death is a kind of relief.
Zu An knew that now was not the time to feel sympathy, so he found a stool opposite and sat down: "Tell me, how did Sancai die back then?"
