The seventy-fifth chapter of the banquet, the feudal lords fought openly and secretly, referring to the phoenix as a bird to invite the king to eat.
Zi Shou stood erect under the high platform, overlooking the smiles of the common people while they were eating the fire phoenix, and he also kept smiling.
Time slowly passed, the sun slowly set from east to west, and the crowds of people finally began to disperse slowly, but Zi Shou still stood on the high platform, saying nothing.
At this time, an imperial guard came over: "Your Majesty, the three princes have been waiting for your Majesty for a long time. Does your Majesty have any instructions?"
This sound brought Zi Shou back from his wandering thoughts. He turned his head and saw the three princes from the east, west, north and west standing behind him.
"My dear friends, you have been standing for a long time. Why don't you sit down quickly?"
Zishou waved his hand to the guards to prepare a banquet and seat them, and the fire phoenix meat was also brought to the table: ""The four major princes in the east, west, south, and north are all the pillars of our great merchants. They guard the four directions and suppress the barbarians. Their contribution is indispensable.
Today, the four princes are invited to come here in order to renew their old friendship and at the same time enjoy the barbecue cooked by this heavenly turkey."
After saying this, Zi Shou sighed again: "It's a pity that Nan Bohou Yan said that he was suffering from a serious disease. He couldn't walk or lift his hands. He really couldn't come to Chaoge for the banquet. As a result, the four great heroes of our great merchants didn't come.
One person."
After all, San Da is also a human spirit, so he knows that he should act stupid at this time.
He just lowered his head, not looking at King Shang and not touching the food and wine on the table, and kept saying: "Thank you, Your Majesty for your holy grace!"
Zishou didn't care that they were pretending to be stupid, and just continued to speak: "Gu Qian conquered the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas, pacified Zi Qi's rebellion, offered sacrifices to the three emperors and commanded the world, and drank to the sky and sued the saints. It looked very majestic, but in fact Gu
I can’t sleep every day.”
"Especially since some time ago, rumors have spread all over the territory of Dashang. It is said everywhere that the Emperor of Heaven asked me in a dream that our Prince Shang was suffering from injustice, saying that the Shang Dynasty should be destroyed. There was also a phoenix singing in Qishan, announcing that the Shang Dynasty should be destroyed, and the Zhou Dynasty should be destroyed.
prosper."
"Remember that now Bei Bohou Chong Heihu's younger brother, who is also a prince of Caozhou, participated in the Wei Ziqi rebellion, and is still roaming the north, eyeing Chaoge."
"I feel scared. Now I have nightmares every night when I go to bed. Every night, I dream that all the eight hundred princes are rebelling like Caozhou Hou Chong Heihu."
"Every morning when I wake up from a dream, I am afraid that when I wake up that day, my great merchant business will be destroyed overnight. After thinking about it, only the four princes have made great achievements through hard work. They are all the best among men. They can solve the doubts of the lonely king!"
As he spoke, Zishou divided the fire phoenix meat in front of him into four portions with his own hands, keeping the smallest portion for himself and dividing the other three portions equally among the three princes.
He also poured wine for them himself, showing the attitude of a polite and virtuous corporal who humbly asked for advice.
But the three princes were not stupid, and none of them really regarded this as asking for advice.
This is obviously to seize their power, rob their soldiers, and live in peace and contentment as a wealthy prince.
Therefore, the atmosphere became tense and no one spoke.
Seeing the opportunity, Beibei Hou Chonghou Hu finished the fire phoenix meat in front of him in several mouthfuls, drank all the sake on the table, knelt on one knee, cupped his fists with both hands, and worshiped his son.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks that the position of Bei Bohou is too important, and Wei Chen is very incompetent, and it is really difficult to guard the north. First, after many years of being unable to quell the rebellion of the traitor Yuan Futong, he had to ask the Grand Master Wen to take action, and then Wei Ziqi rebelled.
At that time, my brother Chong Heihu seized the military power and almost caused an accident to the king."
"We sincerely ask your Majesty to take away my position as Northern Bohou and allow me to hold a military position in Chaoge and serve the great merchants from generation to generation..."
Before Chonghou Hu finished speaking, two generals suddenly appeared on the stage, covered in wounds and bleeding. They were Fei Lian's two sons, Eilai and Ji Sheng.
When he saw Zi Shou, Ji Sheng immediately knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty, that Nanbohou E Chongyu is deliberately plotting rebellion!"
"We went to entertain Nanbohou at the king's order, but Nanbohou said that he was suffering from a vicious disease and was about to die, so we were rejected. My two brothers had no choice but to punish the messenger and hurry back to Chaoge.
Report this."
"But my two brothers were entrusted by the king, how could they return without success? They concealed their names and pretended to be Li Shu, and thoroughly investigated whether Nan Bohou was really seriously ill and unable to attend the banquet."
"If you don't investigate, you won't know that Nanbohou E Chongyu actually openly disobeys the king's will and performs human sacrifices in the territory every day!"
"And rumors are being spread every day, saying that the king disrespects heaven and does not worship immortals, and the great Shang Kingdom Zuo will surely perish at the hands of the king."
"In just one day, I witnessed him sacrificing hundreds of merchants as human animals to the Haotian God. He also claimed that with the blessing of the Haotian God, even after death, he could go to heaven and become a god!"
After hearing this, everyone's attention instantly shifted to Ji Sheng and Er Lai.
Zi Shou's voice sounded extremely majestic and solemn at this moment: "I trust Nan Bohou so much, how dare he do such a thing?"
"Do you two have any evidence?"
At this time, Ji Sheng quickly stepped forward and took out the projection stone. The screen showed the scene of Nan Bohou sacrificing humans and animals to Haotian. Zi Shou was so angry that he dropped the wine glass in his hand and broke it.
"How dare Nanbohou An do this?"
Evil Lai also reported: "Nan Bohou has repeatedly despised the king and disobeyed the national law. According to the law, he should be escorted to Chaoge. However, he was heavily guarded and had many elite soldiers. There was nothing he could do. Therefore, I personally killed him with the giant ax given by the king.
The traitor's head, I offer it to you."
At this time, everyone discovered that Evilai actually held a head in his hand. Looking at his face, who else could it be if he wasn't Nanbohou E Chongyu?
Everyone was shocked. After all, Nanbohou was also a prince from all over the world, and he was heavily guarded. How could Eilai and Ji Sheng be able to assassinate him?
It would be fine if they were killed by Wen Taishi or King Wu Cheng, but even though Ji Sheng and Ji Sheng were not very capable people among the great merchants, at least Dong Bohou had never heard of their names.
.
How could he assassinate a prince so easily and return to Chaoge safely with his head?
If this is the case, doesn't it mean that if the King of Shang doesn't like any prince, he can assassinate him in his territory at any time?
Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu couldn't help but touched his neck and felt a deep chill.
Seeing this, Xibohou Jichang sighed slightly, and when everyone was surprised and confused about Nanbohou's head, he knelt down on the ground with a "plop".
"Your Majesty, my veteran Ji Chang has never had any intention of treason. Since your Majesty has the ambition to conquer the Three Realms in Hunyuan Yunei, I am willing to return all rights to your Majesty, and lead the Ji family to disarm and return to their fields, and become the subjects of Great Shang forever."
Zishou was not surprised when he saw Ji Chang's declaration of loyalty. He just pondered for a long time and finally said with a smile: "This matter will be discussed later. I would like to ask Xibohou a question."
"If your Majesty has a question, the veteran will definitely tell you everything."
Zi Shou pointed at the phoenix hanging on the grill and asked: "Hsibohou, do you think the thing on the grill is a phoenix or a turkey?"
When Xibohou heard this, he felt unwilling and angry.
He was proficient in the art of divination, so he naturally understood clearly that this was the fire phoenix, the mythical beast that represented the fate of Xiqi's country.
Danzi was constantly surrounded by gentleness and solemnity in his ears, but he still lowered his head and exerted his patience to the extreme.
"Your Majesty, this is a turkey, how could it be a phoenix? There are phoenixes in the world that were buried in the sea of fire."
"Hahaha, what Aiqing said is very reasonable. This is really just a turkey spreading rumors to slander the lonely king."
"This turkey has slandered the king. As a minister, he should share his worries with his master. I believe that Uncle Ji would like to eat his meat and drink his blood."
