Outside the pavilion.
Beside the ancient road.
The grass is green and the sky is green.
The five-colored sacred cow grazed leisurely on the side, moving its tail from time to time to swat away mosquitoes.
Ji Chang and Boyikao stood in the pavilion dumbfounded, with expressions on their faces as if they had seen a ghost.
Ji Kao: "Father, what did you just say?"
Ji Chang: "Kao'er, destiny is unpredictable. It's disrespectful for us mortals to be able to glimpse even a little bit of heaven's secrets. How can we predict events like a god, every second?"
Ji Kao: "...This sentence sounds familiar?"
Ji Chang: "My father only said that Wen Zhong was ordered to pacify Beihai, but he didn't say when? Don't be stunned, go and receive the order!"
Ji Chang's face was immediately filled with a smile, he laughed heartily, held his beard in his hand, and walked out of the pavilion, saying polite words.
"I asked which immortal arrived, and it turned out to be His Highness King Wucheng."
"Your Highness is majestic and majestic, truly a human being!"
"The king has an edict. All he needs to do is announce a small flag official to make a trip, but His Highness actually bothers himself to make the trip himself."
Ji Chang glanced at the trembling golden gun and said with a smile:
"Still... still engaging in such a big battle."
Huang Feihu's expression remained unchanged:
"This matter is of great importance. Your Majesty has specially ordered me to come here to announce the decree."
"Move quietly. I'm afraid the Marquis won't be able to see me."
Ji Chang was confused and didn't know why, so he stopped talking and knelt down to receive the order.
Ji checked the words and expressions, and then knelt down.
As the saying goes, don’t hit someone with a smiling face.
Huang Feihu took out the decree he had prepared from his chest and spoke in a majestic voice.
"Sacred metaphor of the king of men:
Today, Beihai rebel Yuan Futong harbors evil intentions and rebels!
Gu Su heard that Xibohou was quite famous.
The ninety-nine sons under his knees are all wise and powerful, and they are all talented generals and ministers.
There are hundreds of thousands of troops under his command.
Wang Xibohou took the great cause of the country as his top priority and immediately led his troops to Beihai to put down the rebellion.
This matter is related to the safety of tens of millions of people, so please do not delay.
This is a military order, and any delay will be dealt with according to military law.
As long as the rebellion is not over, the Marquis of Xibo will not be able to return to his country. "
After hearing the imperial edict, Ji Chang's face was like a bitter gourd, and his whole body felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.
This is different from him.
The rebellion is unjust and you can’t return home?
This is sure to kill him.
Hearing this, Ji Kao's face already had a look of indignation, and he immediately wanted to get up, but was given a secret glare by King Wen.
He glanced at the prestigious golden-clawed reed gun next to him, sighed and took over the decree, saying:
"His Royal Highness King Wucheng..."
"As a human minister, you should obey orders and accept orders. You should not have such doubts."
"It's just that Yuan Futong is in Beihai, and the veteran is far away in Xiqi. By the time the veteran arrives with his troops, I'm afraid the rebels have already reached Chaoge."
"Why did the king ask the old minister to quell the rebellion?"
"Old minister, I really can't figure it out."
Huang Feihu's expression remained unchanged and he glanced at the old man known as the Saint of Xiqi.
There is an aura about him that makes people unable to help but surrender.
He had felt this kind of temperament in the king.
Unexpectedly, this Xibohou actually made him feel this way.
"Xiqi must be destroyed."
Huang Feihu's eyes became much colder when he looked at Ji Chang.
"I was also ordered to deliver the order. As a minister, I only need to accept the order. Only the king himself knows the deep meaning. We should not speculate on the holy will without authorization."
Ji Chang didn't expect that Huang Feihu would be sentenced to death in his heart if he showed a kinder attitude.
He sighed, knowing that he might not be able to escape this time.
"I made a mistake, King Wucheng should not be blamed."
Ji Chang cupped his hands and was about to ask Huang Feihu to go to Xiqi to have a chat with him and help him cleanse himself from the dust.
Suddenly discovered.
There was no one in sight.
Ji Chang: "???"
"Where is King Wu Cheng?"
Ji Kao: "I don't know. Erchen blinked and he disappeared."
Ji Chang frowned:
"It seems that King Wu Cheng won't give us any chance."
"Be prepared to send orders to the three armies to send out troops."
When Ji Kao saw that his father had given up, he was very dissatisfied and anxious.
"Father, we have been waiting for this opportunity to put down the rebellion in Beihai for so many years!"
"That Di Xin decree destroyed all our years of hard work."
"Why did you agree?"
Ji Chang returned to his normal expression and said with a smile:
"Di Xin asked the Grand Marshal of the Zhenguo to declare the decree in person, just to tell me that this decree must be accepted by my father, and I must accept it even if I don't accept it."
"Just take it."
"If you don't accept it, he, King Wu Cheng, can come to announce the decree, and of course he can also come to lead the troops and kill people."
Ji Kao was stunned for a moment and sneered:
"What did father say?"
"Beihai is in chaos, how dare he, Emperor Xin, send troops to attack our Xiqi?"
Ji Chang sighed and glanced at the eldest son who was an enthusiastic scholar.
"Hey, Kao'er, how strong our king is."
"You don't understand at all."
Ji Chang looked in the direction of Chao Ge, his eyes filled with emotion.
"He ascended the throne at the age of twenty. The first thing he did after ascending the throne was to vigorously develop agriculture and mulberry!"
"Since our ancestor Houji found grains for the human race, the output of grains has remained unchanged for thousands of years."
"And in the six years since Emperor Xin reigned, the grain production of the entire human race has increased more than ten times!"
"After that, he used Dashang's mulberry farming skills to win the love of the people, and in exchange for the eight hundred kingdoms completely surrendering to Dashang!"
Ji Chang pointed to the farmers working around him and said:
"You see, all the farm tools they use, the seeds they plant, and the fertilizers they use are all bought from Chaoge City by us using 20% of the grain every year."
"Our people are used to having three meals a day, and having one full meal after each meal."
"What they don't know is that we can't grow so much food with the seeds we left ourselves, so we can only exchange them from Chaoge."
"If we resist, Chaoge will never give us seeds again. By then, the people of Xiqi will probably go to Dashang or other countries."
Ji Kao was not stupid, but very smart. He understood the horror in an instant.
A chill suddenly came up behind him, and from his father Ji Chang's words, he heard a message that was more terrifying than the devil.
"Father..."
"Can't we grow ten times more grain?"
Ji Chang shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"You think you don't want to be a father?"
"I think about my father day and night, and I can't sleep at night. Unfortunately...all my attempts have failed."
Jikao shuddered involuntarily: "Di Xin is simply more terrifying than the devil."
Ji Chang snorted coldly.
"What did you hear just now?"
"With an endless appetite for grains, Di Xin began his ambitions."
"Dig the North-South Grand Canal to connect eight major water systems."
"The road to great commerce leads to Chaoge from now on."
"Da Shang's cavalry can invade any country within seven days!"
Ji Chang became excited as he spoke.
"He invented the art of casting iron and armed Dashang's army with black iron. The iron swords in Dashang's iron riders can easily break our bronze swords."
"He invented black gunpowder, which can explode like heaven and earth, far better than thunder! Our city wall can't stop it at all."
"With endless food and unrivaled weapons, what can we do against Di Xin's army?"
Ji Chang finished speaking.
The whole pavilion was deathly silent.
Only the surrounding wind was responding to Ji Chang's words.
It seemed to be responding to the achievements of the emperor he mentioned.
After a long time.
A sound of swallowing broke the silence.
Ji Kao's forehead was already covered with cold sweat. His face was pale and he stammered:
"Father, please don't take revenge on me grandpa."
