"I saw the beauty of my empress and couldn't control it for a moment, so I did such a cruel thing. I deserve death."
Di Xin looked at Daji, who was crying so hard, and then at Boyikao, who took the initiative to plead guilty, that he felt a splitting headache.
"That's it! That's all! Could it be that Gu Hui is really afraid of Xiqi?"
With just a thought in Di Xin's mind, he basically guessed the whole story. Should he kill Boyikao? What's the use? Kill Daji? How can I bear it?
Even though he knew that she was sent by Nuwa to harm Chengtang's luck, Di Xin could not pretend to be ignorant of her two lives.
"Bo Yi Kao, you are really brave. If it weren't for the fact that Xibohou has worked so hard, I would have cut you into pieces today."
"My crime deserves death." Boyikao bowed his head and admitted his crime without any excuse.
Di Xin snorted coldly, waved his hands and said:
"Drag him down, and order someone to bandage him. Don't let him die."
"No." The guards on the left and right stepped forward and took Boyikao away.
After Boyikao was dragged away and the waiters and maids retreated, Emperor Xin sighed and said:
"For Nuwa's order, if Guruo doesn't come, do you really want to have an affair with him?"
Daji was horrified and suddenly raised her head to look at Di Xin, who had a calm face. Her face was pale and she said in a trembling voice:
"Does the king know?"
Di Xin smiled and said:
"I know more than you think. Answer me."
"I I don't know"
The fox demon was touching Daji's body. In fact, she didn't care whether the body was clean or not. It was just like a piece of clothing, even if it was stained with some mud, it just needed to be washed.
But looking at Di Xin's calm face at this moment, Daji didn't know why, but she suddenly felt ashamed in her heart.
Even a demon can be ashamed?
Boyikao collided with Empress Su and sentenced her to a full sentence, which meant cutting off her toes, making her unable to run or ride a horse.
This punishment was not a severe punishment. Although it made De Boyikao disabled, compared with other punishments (cutting off the nose), it was enough to save the prince of Xibo's face.
Of course, this was not Emperor Xin's good intention, he just wanted Boyikao to suppress Ji Fa. After all, the punishment was concealed without damaging his appearance, and he would still be the heir apparent without delay.
Not to mention that Boyikao was grateful to Di Xin in his heart. After what happened, Di Xin had no intention of keeping Jichang around anymore. What should come will come sooner or later, and some things cannot be avoided.
By pretending to be crazy and having a disabled son, Ji Chang finally escaped from prison.
He still pretended to be stupid along the way. It was not until he left the Shangdi that Ji Chang burst into tears with grief and anger. He hugged Boyi and said:
"It was my father who killed my son."
Boyikao saw that the old man was sober, and he was not only happy but also in pain. However, he always thought that he was distracted and infatuated, and Emperor Xin was generous. Instead of killing him, he only sentenced him to a full sentence so that he would not suffer any harm. Face, this is already a great kindness, so instead of feeling any hatred in my heart, I am filled with gratitude.
"The son is confused. How can he blame his father? Nothing happened to his father, but the son died without regrets."
Ji Chang couldn't explain the serious secrets in this. After all, it was always a great rebellion to use a minister to defeat a king. Even when Cheng Tang killed Xia Jie, he was criticized for many years.
The father and son cried for a while, and then they talked about all the things they had done in the past few years.
When the motorcade reached the Weishui River, singing suddenly came from a distance.
'Recalling the time when the soup was made to sweep away Jie, the eleven signs started from Ge. Be dignified and upright in response to heaven and man, and the people will be safe with one action of righteousness. After more than 600 years, I wish Wang Enbo will rest. I, Cao, am a foreigner from across the sea, and I don’t listen to the news of the country’s subjugation. '
When Ji Chang heard about it, he asked Boyi: "The rhyme of this song is very clear, and there must be a great sage hiding here."
When Boyikao heard this, he immediately ordered his followers: "Invite the wise singer to meet you."
The attendant responded, clapped his horse and headed towards the singing place. When he got closer, he saw a group of fishermen.
"There is a wise man inside, please come out and see my lord!"
Those fishermen seemed to be well-dressed and spoke in a condescending tone. They did not dare to be disrespectful. They all knelt down and replied: "We are all 'idle' people."
The entourage looked at more than ten people together, and the self-proclaimed 'sage' immediately said sternly:
"What nonsense, but they are all sages?"
The fisherman quickly said: "I will go out to fish in the morning. There will be nothing to do when I come back at this time of year, so we are all 'idle' people."
Only then did the followers realize that this 'idler' was not that 'virtuous man'.
After a while, Ji Chang's carriage and horses also arrived here, and his entourage quickly came to report:
"These are all fishermen, not wise men."
Ji Chang didn't believe it, and said: "I heard the song's rhyme is clear and strange, and there must be a great sage in it."
Seeing Ji Chang's noble aura, everyone quickly lowered their heads and reported:
"This song was not written by a small person. Thirty-five miles away from here, there is a stream called Feng. There was an old man in the stream who often sang this song. We are familiar with it, so we sang this song casually. It was not written by a small person. "
Ji Chang suddenly realized that the wise man must be this old man. He thanked him and said to Boyi:
"This is the story of King Yao's visit to Emperor Shun.
In the past, Yao was a virtuous man, but he was an unworthy man. Later, King Yao was afraid of losing the popularity of the people, so he visited privately and wanted to give up his throne. One day, he went to a remote and quiet place in the mountains and found a wise man. Emperor Yao wanted to let the wise man be with him.
'Now that I see a great virtuous person, I would like to give up my position as the Emperor. Is that okay? '
After hearing this, the man covered his ears with both hands and ran to the stream to wash his ears.
While they were washing, another man brought an ox to drink water. The man said: "Gentleman, the ox has come to drink water." 'That man just cleans his ears.
The person then said: "How much dirt is there in this ear? Just wash it?" '
After the man finished washing, he opened his mouth and said, "Emperor Yao gave me the throne just now, but my ears were dirty, so I washed for a while, which was wrong." '
When the man heard this, he laughed loudly and took the cow upstream to drink. The man was surprised and asked immediately: "Why did you leave?" '
The man laughed and said, "You have polluted the water, how can you pollute my cow's mouth again?" 'This man is Emperor Shun.
This is also the origin of "wash your ears and not hear the sound of national subjugation".
Xiqi is weak, so we should recruit talented people to supplement it. Now we have met talented people. I think it is God blessing Xiqi. We should pay a sincere visit to live up to this opportunity. "
Boyikao listened with rapt attention and was moved by what he heard. However, he was still injured and had difficulty walking around. He could only say regretfully:
"Anyone who can sing like this must be a great sage. Unfortunately, my son has limited mobility and can only wait here. Father, please be careful."
Ji Chang nodded in agreement, called a few people, and headed towards where the fishermen were talking about.
Everyone asked for directions and walked. Halfway through, they heard singing again, but it was a woodcutter carrying firewood.
"The spring water is long and the spring grass is wonderful, and the goldfish has not encountered the Yinfan River. The world does not know Gao Xianzhi, and he is just an old fisherman by the stream."
When Ji Chang heard this song, he was even more sure that it must be composed by the great sage, so he stopped the woodcutter and asked.
The woodcutter was very powerful, and when he saw that everyone was dressed in luxurious clothes, he was not afraid of the stage, so he smiled and said:
"I have met all of you noble people in Bukit. This song was composed by my teacher in his spare time."
