At the banquet, there was loud breathing.
Doctor Shen stood proudly and glanced at the Xiqi ministers.
Countless people were pale, staring with red eyes, like defeated roosters, lowering their proud heads.
Reluctant, desperate, but helpless.
"Without a father and without a king! A traitor who has usurped the throne! All civil and military officials in the dynasty behave like daughters!"
These extremely cold words were like sharp cones piercing into the hearts of everyone in Xiqi and hitting their minds.
"You...you...Shen Xin..."
In an instant, several ministers of Xiqi stood up and pointed tremblingly forward, wanting to refute.
But as Doctor Shen moved his gaze, under that proud look, endless pressure shook their hearts.
At this moment, everyone felt extremely insignificant, and Doctor Shen's figure was set off as tall and majestic, even standing tall and tall.
For a long time, no one could refute him. Instead, his fingers were trembling, his chest was trembling, and he was almost angry to death.
"puff!"
Without warning, a mouthful of blood spurted out, instantly turning the table in front of him blood red.
Several of the courtiers could not bear the shocking and oppressive scene. They vomited blood and fell to the ground in a faint, splashing large amounts of dust.
This shocking scene frightened everyone instantly.
Exclaims and curses resounded throughout the military camp.
It was chaos, complete chaos, everyone no longer had the original elegance and calmness, and the soldiers rushed forward in a hurry to rescue them.
"Shen Xin, you deserve to die! How dare you bully me, Xiqi?"
"We must eat your skin and sleep on your flesh to relieve the hatred in our hearts."
Countless people glared at Shen Xin resentfully, and his figure had become a nightmare-like existence in the eyes of Xiqi officials.
These people are arrogant and consider themselves heroes in troubled times. They each have great ambitions and want to use Xiqi's power to become kings.
I also want to have greater power and more wealth.
The way to reshuffle wealth and power is to launch a war and overthrow the dynasty.
This matter was originally a plan that they kept in mind, but Shen Xin's appearance exposed these people who were playing with power and wealth to the sun.
They realize that after their own minds are exposed, they will not be able to occupy the righteousness and stand on the highest point of morality.
No matter what the general trend is, the destiny is just a means of fighting for interests. The crusade against Chonghou Hu and the claim of pleading for the people are just to make the struggle for world hegemony legitimate.
So they are angry.
Shen Xin, Shen Xin, you shouldn't be so arrogant.
You should not stand against us.
Facing the curses from these people, Shen Xin didn't care and just did what he did.
You can deceive yourself, but you can't deceive the world.
Regardless of hatred or resentment, it cannot change the fact that wars are started for one's own benefit.
No matter how much beautification is done, it will only deceive oneself and others and become a joke to the world.
The people who were provoked to the last layer of fig leaf immediately became angry, and they did not allow anyone to be too sober.
Therefore, without exception, Shen Xin became the target of everyone's attacks and hatred.
"My Lord, these people have sinister thoughts and speak false words. They are not the talents of my Xiqi."
"This thief has his heart set on the Hunjun. He is against the will of heaven and has no moral principles. He should be given death!"
"Please, my lord, grant him a death, cut off the generals and sacrifice the flag, and attack Chongcheng with troops!"
Among the people, Nangong Shi shouted loudest and had the most murderous intention.
Among them, four sages and eight horses, as well as civil and military ministers, all shouted in unison.
"What General Nangong said is reasonable, please judge him." The civil and military officials gritted their teeth, raised their eyebrows and stared, and there was a sudden roar above the gate.
To be honest, Doctor Shen really hoped that Ji Chang would take him away directly.
But it is a pity that King Wen of Xiqi has an unusually deep mind and is quite ambitious.
There was no trace of anger in front of him about such things. He just waved his hands slowly without even looking at Nangong Shi.
"Doctor Shen's talents are ten times better than yours. I, Xiqi, have always governed the country with benevolence and righteousness. How can I be punished for my words? How can such a great talent be harmed by such a trivial matter?"
Ji Chang said calmly:
"Gu Ruo will be punished just for his words. How will the people of the world view Gu? How will the people of the world view Xiqi!"
Ji Chang's tone suddenly became fierce, and the movements of his hands became more and more angry, and he slapped his palm directly in front of the case.
The surrounding area was shaking, and everyone was frightened.
At this moment, there is no trace of that smiling, kind-hearted look on his body. He is powerful and menacing. He is worthy of being a man who has been in power for a long time.
But Nangong Shi still wanted to refute.
His face turned red, veins popped out on his hands, he stared at Shen Xin and said in a louder voice:
"My lord, if you don't kill these evil thieves and let them help the tyrant to commit cruelty, they will definitely be a disaster for me, Xiqi, in the future."
"For Xiqi, you must not let him go today!"
"I am willing to risk the disapproval of the world and take all the blame on you. Please order me to kill this guy."
"Please give me your permission, my lord."
Seeing Nangong Shi's anger, Ji Chang became even more angry. He grabbed the wine bottle in front of him and threw it downwards.
He quickly shouted several times:
"The knife and axe-hand dragged Nangong Shi out of the camp gate and beheaded him."
"These rebellious ministers and traitors have brought great sage to death and should be killed."
“All you know is that words, regardless of their length, are actually brave but without strategy.
Dr. Shen strictly abides by his duties as a minister, and he would rather die than give in even though he is in Xiqi.
How could such a loyal person allow the public to do something wrong? Because of personal selfishness, he first trapped me, Xiqi, in an unjust way. What is his sincerity? "
"Knife and axe, fork Nangong Shi down! From now on, any minister who dares to say anything wrong about Dr. Shen should be beheaded!"
After hearing this, all the ministers were speechless and silent. Nangong Shi also lowered his head.
Apart from anything else, Jichang's forbearance and magnanimity alone cannot help but be admired.
It has the spirit of Liu Huangshu throwing a Dou in front of the battle.
No matter what his purpose is, today's reputation of respecting the virtuous and loving the talented will spread throughout the world.
If he, Shen Xin, were just an ordinary person, he would probably choose to bow down and bow down.
But unfortunately, this was not the result he wanted.
On the contrary, it not only failed to move Dr. Shen, but also caused great harm to him.
It's like Galen's endless, silent and critical attack.
This Ji Chang actually brought out equipment at random.
But Doctor Shen had no choice but to expect such a benevolent and righteous king to kill people. I'm afraid Doctor Shen might as well choose to die of old age to have a better chance.
However, Jiang Ziya's performance next made Shen Xin a little more hopeful.
At this moment, after experiencing a previous chaos, the ministers besieged Shen Xin until finally Ji Chang became angry and wanted to kill someone, so he wanted to give Doctor Shen an explanation.
Jiang Ziya sighed secretly, with a little indescribable regret, but he knew that he should step forward at this time.
Otherwise, the lord will really be unable to get off the stage.
Will Ji Chang really kill Nangong Shi?
Not necessarily, but don't forget now that Xiqi is confronting Beichong, and a normal person would not do this if he were to kill him in front of the battle.
At the least, the morale of the army is low and the people are panicked. At the worst, the camp is mutinous and roaring. Ji Chang, as a superior, must know this.
Jiang Ziya was not the first to dissuade Ji Chang. Almost all the ministers before him knelt down to plead for mercy. Even the news that Ji Chang wanted to kill Nangong Shi aroused huge waves.
Not only did many ministers respect Ji Chang more and lamented his emphasis on talented people, but their hatred for Shen Xin became even more obvious.
Jiang Ziya finally opened his mouth at this moment, and first shouted sternly at everyone: "Doctor Shen is a prodigy in this world. It is not the way to respect talents when you and others talk and talk to each other.
Today, you are stupid, and the Chonghou Tiger is wreaking havoc without justice. You don't think about clearing the king's side, but you are just fighting with words. "
After saying that, he went to pay homage to Ji Chang.
"My lord, Nangong Shi is young and arrogant, and his crime cannot be pardoned. However, since he has made great contributions and this is a time when people are employed in the army, it is better to save his life and drive him away from the banquet."
"We will discuss the crime and punishment after the army returns to Xiqi."
After hearing this, all the ministers breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Ziya's meaning was extremely obvious, and the meaning inside was also revealed.
If you return to Xiqi and discuss the crime again, you don't have to think that you will be selectively forgotten by the monarchs and ministers. Nangong Shi will not be punished at all.
However, after this incident, Xiqi governed the country with benevolence and righteousness, and Ji Chang's reputation as a virtuous person became famous all over the world.
Ji Chang's angry face rarely showed a smile, but this smile looked meaningful.
But he still pretended to be embarrassed and nodded in anger.
Nangong Shi was forked out, and Xin Jia, Xin Mian and other Xiqi generals also received such treatment.
Jiang Ziya looked calm during the whole process, but when he saw Doctor Shen's face, he suddenly became serious.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Jiang Ziya couldn't help but admit it.
The Doctor Shen in front of him is truly an outstanding figure in the world and a sage from ancient times.
Otherwise, his eyes would not be so firm and bright.
What kind of person can face life and death without fear at all, but maintain his or her own beliefs?
He may really be different from ordinary people.
This made Jiang Ziya admire him, but at the same time he couldn't help but feel deeply fearful.
While Jiang Ziya was observing Shen Xin, Doctor Shen was also observing him.
Finally he spoke slowly:
"The Prime Minister has murderous intent in his eyes."
After hearing this, Jiang Ziya finally spoke and tried his final persuasion:
"Why should the doctor be so stubborn and unrepentant? My monarch and his ministers are devoted to you, express their sincerity, and concentrate on hiring.
Today there is chaos, stability and chaos. In this day and age, sages from far away and near sycophants indulge in debauchery, drinking and sex, and cruelty to the people. "
Why would you, sir, hide your secret intentions and endure the suffering of the people? Why don't you express your thoughts, mourn this loneliness, bring out the water and fire, and leave it to peace. The virtue that this gentleman embodies is an unparalleled benevolence. "
Shen Xin looked at Jiang Ziya opposite him, as if he was not surprised at all when he said these words, as if he had known it would be like this.
The two of them just looked at each other, sparks seemed to flash in their eyes, and with mutual admiration, the huge gate seemed to be torn apart from this moment, split into two halves.
It's like a confrontation between ice and fire.
On one side was the golden phoenix burning with blazing fire, and on the other side was the dark bird blocking out the sun. The two looked at each other calmly.
"Doctor Shen!"
Jiang Ziya already understood what had happened. He wanted to say something but stopped, so he could only speak calmly.
"The banquet is still going on. All the generals are drinking freely. Ziya will give a bottle to the doctor first."
After finishing speaking, he raised his glass and looked at the resolute figure in front of him. Without saying anything, he turned around and retreated behind Ji Chang.
This situation made the officials who didn't know what was going on feel trembling.
Many people felt endless pressure at that moment. Ji Chang's eyes narrowed and he silently looked at the sky. The aura on his body disappeared in an instant.
Jiang Ziya slowly retreated behind him, called Wu Ji expressionlessly, and gave instructions.
"My lord is a benevolent person, and he will not bear to harm Doctor Shen's life."
"I come forward to congratulate you today. He will dance with his sword and take the opportunity to assassinate Shen Xin on the seat, otherwise Xiqi will be in great trouble."
"No! I am determined to live up to my destiny."
Wu Ji bowed and saluted, raised his head and looked at his mentor.
But he found that Jiang Ziya in front of him was unusually indifferent and terrifyingly cold. Ever since Wuji became his disciple,
In my memory, he was always calm and unfazed in the face of all honors and disgrace. I have never seen him behave like this.
Wuji was almost startled.
She couldn't help but sigh, Shen Xin, Shen Xin, what kind of magical power do you have that makes Xiqi Jun and his ministers so respectful and hateful.
That's all, Wu Ji can't understand or think clearly, he still has important things to do.
After kneeling down and saluting Jiang Ziya extremely respectfully, he said seriously:
"Teacher, once Buji leaves, I'm afraid I won't be able to serve you again in the future. I hope the teacher will take good care of yourself and take care of yourself."
"Um!"
Jiang Ziya nodded, finally feeling a little warmth in his heart.
Although Wu Ji was rescued by Ziya in order to get in touch with Ji Chang, he has become ruthless after getting along with him for a long time.
Although Shen Xin could be killed this time, Wu Ji also had to change his appearance and could not appear in Xiqi, otherwise he would not be able to block the mouth of the world.
It will also have an impact on King Wen's image of benevolence and righteousness.
Wu Ji also thought of this, but he didn't speak anymore, nor did he think of refusing.
His life was given by his teacher, and now is the time to repay this kindness. Wu Ji has no regrets.
The kindness of his life must be repaid with death.
Slowly, he did not speak anymore, but slowly walked towards the ministers.
He bowed to Shen Xin and said:
"The last general, Wu Ji, has met Dr. Shen. Now that he sees the doctor being proud and unyielding and loyal to the country, he starts to admire him."
"How can we miss such a hero? I would like to invite you a bottle of water and wine to pay tribute to Dr. Shen."
After saying that, Wu Ji seemed to have a complicated look on his face and took the initiative to pour a glass of wine.
? ? ?
Shen Xin looked confused.
He looked at Wuji in front of him and made a bold guess.
Good guy, is it possible that Jiang Ziya is planning to poison me with wine?
It seemed that it was not impossible. Doctor Shen smiled when he thought of this.
So without any hesitation, Shen Xin accepted the drink from Wu Ji with extraordinary arrogance. He even did not let go of the wine in front of him in order to fear that the medicine would not be enough and he would die too slowly.
He drank it all in one gulp and burped after finishing it.
He was confident that with this dose of medicine, he should be gone instantly.
Dr. Shen was enjoying himself, while Wu Ji on the side was dumbfounded.
What, did I miss a great opportunity?
If I had known that this person liked drinking so much, why would he be dancing with a sword? How about poisoning him?
But it was useless to react at this moment, because Shen Xin had already drank all the wine in front of him.
Thinking of this, Wu Ji could only curse in secret, then holding the sword in his hand, he bowed to Ji Chang and said:
"My lord, my lord and Dr. Shen are hosting a banquet. It would be boring if there is no entertainment. Please allow me to perform a sword dance to add to the fun."
Ji Chang heard this and did not take any action. He just smiled lightly and said:
"allow!"
With Ji Chang's permission, Wu Ji looked serious and waved the long sword in his hand, bringing with it bursts of cold air.
A strong wind instantly blew up in the entire Xiqi camp.
The long sword slowly danced in the gorgeous light and shadow.
Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
The next moment, the sword light flashed.
But Doctor Shen froze on the spot, the wine bottle in his hand subconsciously dropped, and his head was buzzing.
He seemed to have discovered something huge:
Damn it, there is no poison in the wine!
…
