In the early morning of the day, Emperor Zhou entered the Ancestral Temple and stood in front of the Jiuding, lingering, as if he had something on his mind, looking worried. These ministers stood on both sides without saying a word. Jin Chan looked at the prince standing in front of him. The prince was the same and said nothing about it. Jin Chan looked at the Emperor of Zhou who was standing in front of Jiuding and said: "Father, the Qin State attacked South Korea's Anmen with the intention of spying on our Zhou capital. Hulao is the gateway to our Luoyi city. I am willing to lead the army to station in Hulao." Prison, guard my gate in Da Zhou." Emperor Zhou turned around and said, "Chan'er, when you grow up, you know that you have to share your worries for your father." Jin Chan first looked at the prince, then at Emperor Zhou, and said, "Father, , my son is leading the troops outside, the prince is at ease, and my son is also at ease. My son is born as a prince, and his duty is to protect the foundation of my great Zhou Dynasty." This sentence made the prince immediately raise his head and look at Jin Chan standing behind him. . In fact, Jin Chan already knew in his heart who wanted to assassinate it, but it was tacitly understood. This sentence should let the prince understand that it was not competing for the crown prince's position, in order to appease the prince. Jin Chan faced the Emperor of Zhou and said, "Please give me your permission, father." The Emperor of Zhou said, "Okay, I will make you the general of the expedition and lead an army of 30,000." The army of 30,000 and the Qin army's one million army, The disparity in power is obvious. If the Qin army really came to attack, wouldn't Jin Chan and his 30,000 troops go to die?
Jin Chan entered Da Si Kou's yamen, met Da Si Kou, and said, "Da Si Kou." Da Si Kou immediately left the cases, came forward and knelt down, and said, "Your Highness." Jin Chan asked, "How is the case investigation going? ?" Da Sikou returned to several cases before and said: "We haven't found any evidence yet. The assassin has a tough mouth and it's difficult to pry out anything useful to us from his mouth. But according to my investigation, the assassin came out of the Prince's Mansion." Jin Chan Said: "I have known for a long time. I was born of a slave, with a low status and despised by them. It is normal for my elder brother to look down on me. I am used to it. I recommended Mr. to my father. He will naturally be attracted by his great talent. The elder brother is jealous and has murderous intentions. Forget it, don’t continue the investigation. Da Sikou, let this assassin go." Da Sikou raised his eyes and said: "Your Highness." Jin Chan said: "If father When the king asked about it, he said that the case was complicated and could be dismissed as it was not yet clear." While Da Sikou was immersed in thinking, Jin Chan asked again: "Where is the assassin detained?" Da Sikou said: "The word "地" Water prison." Jin Chan said, "Take us to see it." Seeing that Da Sikou was a little worried. Jin Chan said: "Youzi is protecting me, everything will be fine."
Da Sikou led Jin Chan into the water prison, and Zi Zheng followed behind and entered the water prison together. It was so dark and damp here, and the sound of dripping water could be heard all around. There was a red lantern above the cells on both sides, and there were several ditches under the cells for drainage. There was a patio in the middle of the water cell, and a thick iron chain was placed on the side of the patio. The yamen were called to hold the chain. There is a huge iron cage under the patio. The water drains into the patio, and there is also some insect excrement. The iron cage was soaked in the smelly water, and the huge iron cage was slowly rising. When it was pulled up, the stench was extremely bad. They all covered their mouths and noses. Jin Chan said: "Sikou, open this iron cage." The poisonous bees were locked in this iron cage and were tortured. The injured bees were soaked in the smelly water for dozens of days. , life is worse than death. At this time, the poisonous bee was half dead and still breathing heavily. Jin Chan, Da Sikou Hezi were wearing black cloaks and walking into the cage. Water dripped on their black cloaks and slid down. Jin Chan stepped forward and asked, "Are you a Qin bug?" The poisonous bees ignored them and didn't say a word. Da Sikou stepped forward and said viciously: "His Highness is asking you something, why don't you answer it?" After saying that, he kicked it to wake it up. The poisonous bee stared, and the big Sikou was a little scared. He took a few steps back and said, "What? You want to kill me." The poisonous bee roared, "Kill if you want to, no need to say anything." Jin Chan stood aside and said. : "Everyone has his own master, that is understandable. You are loyal to your master, I admire your loyalty, you can go." Venomous Bee sat up and looked at Jin Chan and said, "Are you willing to let me go?" Jin Chan Said: "Yes, let you go." The poisonous bee said again: "Don't regret it, I will come to assassinate you again." Jin Chan said: "I will never regret it. I will also tell you that I will lead an army to go out tomorrow. I'll wait for you outside the capital." Then he turned to the great Sikou and said, "Untie him." The great Sikou stepped forward and advised, "Your Highness, this insect cannot be released." Jin Chan said, "Either life or death depends on one's destiny, let it go. "Da Sikou called the jailer to loosen the chains tied to it and let it out of the cage.
Venomous Bee walked out of the cell, a beam of sunlight fell down, bathed in the warmth of the sun, and felt much warmer on his body. The poisonous bee looked back at Jin Chan standing behind, knelt down on the ground with a pop, bowed, and said: "Your Highness." Jin Chan was about to step forward to help it up, but it took the lead and pulled out the long sword from Jin Chan's waist. He smiled proudly and said: "Your Highness, I can kill you." Zi Zheng stepped forward hurriedly and said: "Your Majesty." Jin Chan said: "Senior Brother Zizheng, life and death are determined by destiny. You should step back." Zizheng As long as he retreats behind Jin Chan and presses the hilt of the sword at his waist, the sword can be unsheathed at any time. The poisonous bee said: "I won't kill you, and I can't kill you, so I should apologize." Then he put it on his own neck and cut himself, blood spurting out. Da Sikou was stunned on the spot. Jin Chan looked at the poisonous bee lying in a pool of blood and said, "Give it a good burial." Then he left the cell and left without looking back.
Jin Chan went to Xiao Yi's library and saw that the door of the library was closed, but Xiao Yi avoided seeing it. Jin Chan knelt in front of the gate, looked at it, and said: "Sir, Jin Chan is about to lead the army on an expedition. You should take care of yourself!" Zi Zheng stood aside, wondering about this matter, why did he not want to See it? Then Jin Chan stood up and said, "Senior Brother Zizheng, let's go." Zizheng looked at the door of the library and asked, "Why doesn't Mr. want to see you?" Jin Chan replied, "Maybe Mr. To avoid suspicion, let’s go.”
Jin Chan led his troops out of Luoyi, the capital of Zhou Dynasty, and sent troops hundreds of miles away. Jin Chan stood on the chariot and said, "The army is camping here." Zi Zheng drove the chariot forward and asked, "Your Majesty, why is this?" Jin Chan got off the chariot and stood in front of the chariot. , Zizheng followed, looking at Luoyi, the capital of Zhou Dynasty, and said: "Brother Zizheng, do you think my army of 30,000 can compete with the Qin army of one million?" Zizheng said: "No." Jin Chan said : "If the prince wants to rebel, he will definitely lead the rebel army to attack the palace and force the palace. My army of 30,000 is the army of King Qin."
The assassin committed suicide in front of prison. Emperor Zhou would know about it sooner or later, so he went into the palace at night to report the matter to Emperor Zhou. Da Sikou entered the palace of the King of Zhou and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it's not good, it's not good." Emperor Zhou walked out and asked, "What happened?" Da Sikou could only report truthfully. Emperor Zhou sighed and said: "Chan'er, you are such a kind and righteous child. My father knows your good intentions." Then he turned to Da Sikou and said, "Step back." Da Sikou then stood up and left the Zhou palace. . The idea of making Jin Chan the crown prince sprouted in Emperor Zhou's mind, so he called in a eunuch and said, "Go to the library and invite the gentleman here."
The eunuch left the Zhou Palace and went to the Library Pavilion. Standing in front of the door of the library. Shang Fu came forward and saluted: "I wonder why the temple insect came to see my husband?" The eunuch said: "The Za family is following the emperor's order to summon your husband to the palace to meet the emperor." Shang Fu said: "Please wait a moment. Wait."
Shang Fu walked in, and after a while, Xiao Yi came out and saluted, saying: "Keep the temple insect waiting for a long time." The eunuch said: "Okay, let's go with the Za family." Xiao Yi followed the eunuch into the palace.
Xiao Yi entered the Zhou palace, went forward and bowed, saying: "Emperor." Emperor Zhou walked down, stood in front of Xiao Yi, and said: "Sir, there is no need to be more polite, please sit down." Xiao Yi could only kneel down and sit down. Several cases ago. After Emperor Zhou sat down, he asked: "Sir, do you think the crown prince or Chan'er is the wiser?" Xiao Yi replied: "The prince is wise." Emperor Zhou asked again: "If Chan'er is made the crown prince, what do you think, sir?" Ant looked at Emperor Zhou and said: "Emperor, the crown prince is related to the foundation of a country and cannot be replaced by ordinary people. I ask the Emperor to think carefully." Emperor Zhou looked at the little ant and kept thinking. After a long time, he said: "Mr. I already understand the meaning."
It is the prince who has a guilty conscience and cannot sleep tonight. Tonight, the Emperor of Zhou urgently summoned Xiao Yi into the Zhou Palace, presumably to discuss the establishment of another prince. With the Saint of Insects intervening in this matter, it was obvious that his position as prince could not be guaranteed. The counselor rushed into the prince's mansion and asked: "Prince, what's wrong with you?" The prince said a little decadently: "I am no longer the prince, sir, don't call me that in the future." The counselor asked at a loss: " Prince, why do you say that?" The prince said, "Tonight, my father has summoned Little Ant into the palace." The counselor turned around and said, "This is not good, not good! Little Ant is the sacred insect of the country. Your Majesty has nothing to do with Little Ant." He is obedient and will definitely adopt Xiao Yi's advice. Your position as prince is in danger!" An anxious look appeared on the counselor's face. The prince rushed forward and knelt down at a loss, saying, "What should I do? Master, teach me." The counselor thought carefully for a long time and said, "Raising an army is the only way out for the prince!" The prince sat limply. On the ground, he said: "No, this is absolutely impossible." The counselor stepped forward and said: "Prince, the prince has transferred 30,000 elite troops, and the country is empty. This is a God-given opportunity! Prince, don't hesitate anymore, be decisive If things continue to happen, chaos will inevitably arise. If the prince leads the troops back to the court, it has military power in its hands, and we will become lambs to be slaughtered." The prince stood up and said: "I must not sit still and wait for death, okay, let's raise the troops."
The prince led troops to attack Luoyi, the capital of Zhou Dynasty. The prince walked into the Zhou Palace and stood in front of the Emperor Zhou. Emperor Zhou immediately stood up and said: "Prince, what are you going to do? Are you leading troops to attack the capital of Zhou to rebel?" The prince stood in front of Emperor Zhou and said: "Father, what you say is irrelevant." Well, I am forced to enter the palace this time. Father, please abdicate." Emperor Zhou pointed at the prince and scolded: "You are so unfilial, I am your father, you have disappointed me so much." The prince roared: "Father! This is all forced by you. Abdicating is your wisest plan. Hurry up and write the edict of abdication. I am patient, but the soldiers behind me are impatient." Then he walked out of the Zhou Palace and said to the people on the left and right. The soldiers said: "Anyone who dares to step out of the palace will be killed."
The rebels rushed towards the library, and all the disciples rushed in, shouting: "Sir, it's not good." Xiao Yi stood up and walked out of several cases, asking: "What happened?" A disciple said anxiously: "The prince is rebelling. They led their troops to surround the palace, and the emperor was also put under house arrest by them." Xiao Yi sat down and sighed: "The prince finally couldn't sit still, the Zhou Dynasty is in chaos, it's in chaos!" Then the soldiers rushed into the library, and everyone The disciples came forward and said, "What are you doing?" The prince walked in and said, "Sir, you are fine now!" Xiao Yi pushed away these disciples and stood in front of the prince without saying a word. The prince asked: "What did you say to your father? Tell me quickly." Xiao Yi just said: "You rude insect, Xiao Yi has nothing to say." The prince said: "You must be tough." Then he shouted: " Drag it out and wait for a severe punishment. If you don't believe it, you won't be able to pry open its mouth." The little ant looked at these armored soldiers and said: "Seniors cannot be killed but cannot be humiliated. If you dare to use severe punishment on me, I will kill you here. I will never be humiliated." The prince looked at Xiao Yi and said, "Okay, okay." He then looked at the letters on the bookshelf and said, "These letters are the hard work of Sir!" He said to the soldiers behind him, "Take these letters. Move them all out and burn them.”
