As soon as they entered the side hall, they saw Su Daji, her face was pale and her expression was depressed, without any trace of her former composure.
"Beauty, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly sick? Let Gu take a look. Gu's golden needles are still very useful."
Seeing that Di Xin was about to touch Su Daji's wrist, Su Daji had something in his heart, so how could he dare to let him see it.
In a hurry, he hid his hands in it, his eyes were filled with fear, and he couldn't help but cough even more violently.
"Your Majesty, I am not feeling well today and cannot serve your Majesty. Please leave, Your Majesty. Don't let me get infected by the disease."
Su Daji rarely wanted to drive Di Xin away, so she only mentioned Qi Ji. Di Xin laughed, with obvious teasing intent, and said, "You are so strong alone, how can you be afraid of Qi Ji? Quickly let me see."
When Su Daji heard that she was going to see a doctor, she was frightened and covered her body with a silk quilt. Her whole body was trembling, and she looked extremely frightened.
Di Xin wanted to take the silk and satin away, but Su Daji still came out with a copper sign.
Di Xin picked up the copper sign, his expression suddenly changed, and he became serious, and said, "Who gave you this tiger charm?"
"Your Majesty, this was sent by my father. It was made secretly by Jizi. I hope your Majesty will be aware of it."
"Ji Zi?"
Di Xin couldn't help but feel serious as he held the copper tiger talisman.
"Thank you for the beauty's help this time. I will send you some medicine later, which will help the beauty's injury."
After saying that, Di Xin left in a hurry.
Su Daji took away the satin and looked at Di Xin's leaving figure.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This time, in order to gain the trust of the Human King, I have to sacrifice others."
…
"People come and tell Shang Rong, Bigan, Huang Feihu!!"
The tiger talisman is by no means a trivial matter. In the Dashan army, the communication between the generals and the issuance of orders all depended on the tiger talisman.
With this tiger talisman, you have the power to mobilize the army. It can even be said that this tiger talisman is a symbol of royal power.
The production of this tiger talisman must be kept secret at all levels, and it must be done tightly without any gaps, otherwise the lower-level generals can refuse the order.
After a while, the three important ministers came to the palace. When Emperor Xin took out the tiger talisman, the three important ministers were shocked.
After figuring out the ins and outs, Huang Feihu, as the commander-in-chief of the military, stood up directly.
"Your Majesty, the production process of this Tiger Talisman is extremely complex, and each craftsman who makes the Tiger Talisman will carve a unique symbol somewhere on the Tiger Talisman for fear of making any mistakes."
"There is no writing on this tiger talisman. It is obviously a semi-finished product. It is just the craftsman's symbol that has been deliberately erased. If you want to investigate this matter, you will undoubtedly find a needle in a haystack, unless all the craftsmen are executed!"
"What's more, Su Hu..."
Huang Feihu almost said that Su Hu couldn't be trusted.
As a member of the clan, Wang Shubigan naturally did not want to believe that Jizi had any treasonous intentions.
"Your Majesty, this matter is still a secret investigation and should not be made public. After all, Jizi is the biological brother of the late king Di Yi."
Huang Feihu said from the military perspective that Su Hu could not be trusted, while Bigan said from the clan perspective that Jizi had no intention of rebellion.
If Emperor Xin carried out a vigorous investigation, the whole Chaoge would be in a state of unrest, and there would be another bloody storm.
Emperor Xin looked at Shang Rong. As the prime minister of the ministerial line, Shang Rong was really unwilling to participate in this matter, but since the king asked, he could only step forward.
"Your Majesty, should Doctor Jizi be sealed?"
Di Xin's eyes lit up, and his expression instantly changed from gloomy.
"Come here! I have issued an edict and ordered Jizi to seal the country of Ji in three days without any further delay."
When the three important ministers heard what Di Xin said, they all breathed a sigh of relief, especially Bigan, who was really afraid that Di Xin would gain the notoriety of killing a member of the clan.
Jizi was sealed. Although his freedom was restricted and he was far away from Chaoge, it was not a bad thing for him.
After settling Jizi's matter, Di Xin asked.
"Did the great witch Zhu send the witch priest here?"
Seeing that the seven-day limit is approaching, the witch doctor is still tied up in the ancestral temple of the royal palace, just waiting for the day when Emperor Xin worships ghosts and gods.
Yabiqian was nervous and stepped forward and said, "The great witch doctor said that witch doctors are appointed by ghosts and gods and cannot be persecuted arbitrarily. Please show mercy to the king. If the king insists on doing this, the ancestral temple will not obey the edict."
"What!"
Di Xin suddenly stood up, his face flushed with anger.
"Feihu, how many troops do you have on hand?"
Huang Feihu's expression changed drastically. Di Xin meant that he wanted to level the ancestral temple directly.
Shang Rongbi Gan quickly winked at Huang Feihu. How could Huang Feihu not know?
"Your Majesty, I heard that the Grand Master brought a large number of young men with him during the expedition. In addition to the officers and men in the passes of various places, Dashang only has less than 30,000 young men in Chaoge, and the rest are all old, weak, sick and disabled."
In fact, these 30,000 young men are not counted as the private soldiers of the major clans. Even if they are counted as private soldiers, they can still make up an army of 100,000.
This is a sign of Chaoge's strength. Even in the later period when the Grand Master was killed in battle and King Zhou was dissolute and immoral, there were still a large number of human soldiers.
"Can thirty thousand equal the ancestral temple?"
"Please, Your Majesty, think twice!"
All three important ministers expressed opposition to this.
"That's all, there is no shamanistic sacrifice, so I can't offer any sacrifice to Gu Huan. I'm sending an order that tomorrow, Gu Huan will personally sacrifice to the ghosts and gods in the palace. Everyone from the civil and military officials of the court can come and see it."
"yes!"
…
That night, a rumor came that the human king Xin was going to use the head of the witch doctor to worship ghosts and gods in the palace tomorrow. Suddenly, there was a turmoil.
When a storm comes, the great witch in the ancestral temple burns the tortoise shell with fire, and the crackling sound produced seems to be that the great witch communicates with ghosts and gods.
Seven of the top ten disciples of Da Wu Zhu had returned at this moment. They all stood respectfully behind Da Wu Zhu and looked at the tortoise shell, as if they were listening to God's will.
The scorching fire turned Da Wu Zhu's face red, and the colored clay covered his entire face, making it impossible to see the traces on his face.
After a while, the bonfire went out, and cracks appeared on the tortoise shell. The great witch Zhu looked at the cracks and sighed.
"Master Wu Zun, does God have any decree to pass down to you?"
Wu Pan was anxiously looking forward to the demeanor of the great witch Zhu, and hoped to hear the result he wanted to hear most.
"Let that human king go. The ancestral temple cannot get involved."
"What!"
"impossible!"
"The Witch Lord has experienced so many witch-killing incidents. Are we afraid of that human king?"
"That's it, Lord Witch, let the human king see our strength."
The witch master looked at several excited disciples. These disciples had studied with him for many years, but their mentality was still immature.
"Shut up, the teacher is already in a very difficult situation. Since God has this will, it must be justified. Do you want to repeat the tragedy of the Wu clan?"
When the witches saw this, they all shut up. The sorcerer who spoke was none other than the leader of the ten witches, Wu Xian, a great witch who became famous during the reign of King Taiwu, the ninth king of the Yin Shang Dynasty.
