"Yes, Lord Chonghou has a flaw and fell into the hands of the king. Even if we ask the king to return the northern land, the king can still use the excuse that the prince is ineffective in the battle and his brother rebelled. It is really a big trouble!"
Everyone looked at each other, a little confused.
Seeing this situation, Chonghou Hu sneered inwardly... The great merchant general fought against the Western Zhou Dynasty. After he completely surrendered to the king's side, he had already been informed by Bigan...
With your little courage, do you dare to go against the big merchants who are now prospering?
Xibohou Jichang really does not know whether to live or die!
"Stop talking about this!" Chonghou Hu took the initiative to raise his glass and toasted: "I am tired of staying in the North and want to return to Chaoge to support myself in my old age. Your Majesty has a decree and will not lower my title... What follows? Now that I no longer have to fight the barbarians in the north, I feel a lot more relaxed."
"Master Chonghou, you are really open-minded!"
"Yes, yes, peace is a blessing."
Jiang Hengchu and Ji Chang tried to smooth things over and congratulated Chonghou Hu... Only Nanbohou E Chongyu had a slight sneer on his face, but he didn't say much, he just raised the wine cup and drank in one gulp.
After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere at the wine table became much more relaxed. Everyone no longer mentioned the Northland issue, and chatted about the changes in Dashang in recent days.
"Dear princes, have you noticed that today's great merchants... seem to have changed a lot?"
Ji Chang was the first to mention the changes in Dashang.
"Is there any change? Burp..." E Chongyu burped from wine and said nonchalantly: "I don't think so... I just feel that the courtiers are a bit busy."
“I heard that the king spent huge sums of money to build the Star-Zhaing Tower, the wine pool and the meat forest... Tsk tsk, he is really a foolish king, he has no pity for the people and saves the national treasury.
Sooner or later, this world will be defeated by him! "
Jiang Hengchu angrily threw the wine prince on the table, his face full of contempt for Di Xin... A young boy, relying on the protection of his ancestors...
Just like that, he still dares to commit human sacrifice, isn't he afraid that his ancestors will crawl out of their graves and scold him for being an unworthy descendant? !
"Jiang Bohou, don't forget that your daughter is married to the king! If the king loses the country, your daughter will probably end up miserable!"
E Chongyu didn't know whether he deliberately nodded at Queen Jiang.
A look of disgust appeared on Jiang Hengchu's face: "It's just a daughter! I married her just for Emperor An's heart... Besides, my daughter, Si Chen, thinks about leading troops to fight every day, and she has long wanted to throw her away. .Marrying to a big businessman can be regarded as giving up a piece of my heartache!"
In his words, Jiang Hengchu showed no affection for his daughter at all... In fact, his face was full of disgust.
At the scene, neither Ji Chang, E Chongyu, nor Chonghou Hu showed any signs of surprise... In other words, they seemed to have known Jiang Hengchu's attitude towards his daughter for a long time!
"Speaking of the changes in Dashang, I have found out a lot about this year..."
Touching his chin, Ji Chang mentioned the changes in Dashang again, which also attracted the attention of three people.
"First of all, the first thing is to abolish human sacrifice! Everyone knows. Your Majesty used the Human King's Order for this matter."
"It's all nonsense! Because of this matter, the princes of our southern region are full of complaints, and many evil gods have broken out in various places... It's just the life of the head of Guizhou, how can it be more important than the sacrifices of our ministers? Look at how much trouble the evil god has caused? Follow me He said, Your Majesty, he just doesn’t understand the affairs of the people and is simply causing harm to the country and the people!”
E Chongyu snorted angrily, and the other three people nodded, including Chonghou Hu!
"It's a good thing that Grand Master wiped his butt and asked the elders of the sect to help. Otherwise... Grand Master Wen Zhong is really the pillar of my great business!"
Jiang Hengchu couldn't help but sigh... He could look down on his daughter and son-in-law, but he would never dare to be disrespectful to Wen Zhong!
The prestige of the Grand Master was earned through his victorious record in every battle!
"Let's not mention this matter. It's a foregone conclusion, and with the permission of our ancestors, we won't talk about it anymore."
Ji Chang also sighed and changed the topic... The use of the Human King's Order has not been stopped by Huoyundong, which is acquiescence... Under the circumstances of occupying the righteousness, they can't judge.
"The second thing is that Uncle Wang and the Prime Minister were demoted to Beidi and Jizhou... Bei Bohou knew about this and didn't talk about it."
Chong Houhu showed a hint of bitterness in response, seemingly sad, but actually...
"The third thing is to spend manpower to build wonders such as the Star Picking Tower and the Pao Roo... and the prince's son was scalded to death on the Pao Roo!"
"The fourth thing is the decree just announced a few days ago. The queen will take the lead to establish the Women's Salvation Association... I heard that there are three concubines in the harem, as well as the daughter of Deng Jiugong, the wife of Chentangguan Li Jing, and many ministers' wives. , all joined the Women’s National Salvation Association!”
"absurd!"
Mentioning these two things, Jiang Hengchu became very angry, especially the second one: "My daughter is so virtuous and capable that she can open a mansion alone?! Si Chen, your Majesty really wants to ignore the laws of our ancestors. ?”
"But... the ancestors never said that women are not allowed to participate in politics... First there was the queen who was a good wife, led the troops in battle, and shocked the princes; now there is Deng Chanyu, who goes to war with her father..."
Chonghou Hu said something quietly, and also named a few female generals...
Jiang Heng choked on Chu's words... and then immediately retorted: "What about the death of Wangye Weizi? According to the ancestral tradition, axes and axes cannot be used on the body of ministers. Wangye Weizi has always loved the people like a son, and everyone knows his benevolence... Now... , but it is simply ridiculous to burn him to death on unfounded charges!"
"You also said that the prince and the villain bully the people... How can a mere head of Guizhou be compared with a prince?!"
"Yes, the king is really too messy!"
Ji Chang felt happy in his heart and nodded in agreement: "It is ridiculous for a woman to open a mansion; the death of Wei Zi is even more contrary to the ancestral rules! Dear princes, I suggest that during the two-day pilgrimage, we, as the princes of each town, When you go up to the throne to bring order to the king, you must not let the king continue to walk on the wrong path!"
"It is not easy for a big businessman to maintain stability. We must not let the minister feel cold!"
"Hou Xibo is right! We will submit a memorial in two days, and we must return the king to the ancestral system! Respect our princes and do not act recklessly!"
"It would be best to return the Northern Territory to Bei Bohou!"
Chonghou Hu glanced at Dongbohou and Nanbohou who were clamoring for a performance, and twitched the corner of his mouth... Don't do anything nonsense. It took a lot of effort for me to clear my name and get on the soaring carriage. I don't want to be caught. You guys are in trouble!
As his mind moved, he thought of the advice given by Bigan before leaving... He took the initiative to add another accusation: "Not only that, we can also reprimand the king for wasting the power of the people and the country, and building the Star Building, the Cannon Basin, the Poison Basin, and the Wine Pond and the Meat Forest. Such extravagant things... Those responsible for the construction should also bind themselves and plead guilty, as a warning to the king!"
"Jiang Ziya? I don't know where this Qi practitioner came from. He deserves to die!"
Ji Chang agreed with Chonghou Hu's opinion without even thinking about it.
It was just a name he had never heard of before, not a famous person. How could he refuse the offer of Beibeihou because of this?
"As it should be..."
"Yes……"
"It's getting late today, and there are too many people here, so it's not suitable for discussion. Why don't we go to Yanshan for a hunting trip tomorrow...and discuss how to report to the king in two days to bring order to the chaos!"
Finally, for some unknown reason, Ji Chang suddenly proposed to go to Yanshan... Although the princes of the three towns did not understand, they nodded in agreement...
