Chapter 4 Well water is sweet

In Emperor Xin's memory, Fei Zhongyouhun was a capable minister who could get things done. He was very capable and could handle many inconvenient tasks beautifully if left to their hands.

It's just that in Li Zhou's eyes, these two were probably sycophants. Wouldn't it be interesting to brush these two sycophants and gain some merit when there is nothing wrong?

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. You have acquired the most beautiful woman in the Yin Shang Dynasty. We are here to congratulate you, Your Majesty."

"The most beautiful woman in the Yin Shang Dynasty? Who rated her? Do you have a certificate?"

Li Zhou was thinking about the gods' killing and calamity, so he naturally didn't bother to pay attention to these two sycophants, and didn't even look at them.

Fei Zhong raised his eyes and naturally saw that Emperor Xin was unhappy. He did not answer the question and directly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this Su Da is only sixteen years old. She looks fragile, but in fact she is determined inside. What's even more rare is that she has a strong body.

Is your Majesty interested in seeing the lost Jinghong Dance?"

"Hey, how much did Su Daji charge for such hard sales?"

When Fei Zhong heard what he said, he immediately knelt on the ground and cried.

You Hun even cried and said, "Your Majesty, we are really all waiting for you. Your Majesty has wronged me."

"Okay, okay, I'll give you a task. If it's done well, I'll forget about it."

After speaking, Li Zhou took out a drawing of a well and handed it to Fei Zhong.

"This is a well. As long as the well is dug well, you can drink the underground water."

As soon as Li Zhou finished speaking, Fei Zhong knelt down with a "pop" sound and said, "Your Majesty, no, this underground water is the drinking water of the dead. It must not be destroyed."

You Hun also knelt down and said, "If Uncle Wang Bigan knows about this, it will kill us."

"Huh? Uncle Wang is so domineering than Gan?"

"That's right. Uncle Wang, relying on his status as prime minister and royal family, and his ability to sacrifice ministers, has humiliated us many times. We dare to be angry but dare not speak out!"

"Fart! I really don't know that you guys, together with Wu Zhu and Wu Bu, have often killed Zhongliang in the name of sacrifice?"

"Your Majesty! You can't say this. The sacrifices are all done with the approval of Lord Ghosts and Gods, and with the approval of Great Witch Zhu. The Yin Shang Dynasty is so powerful because of Lord Ghosts and Gods."

"Oh? Really? Then I will sacrifice you two next time. I believe the ghosts and gods will be very satisfied."

Hearing "Puff!", Fei Zhongyouhun knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. Those who didn't know it thought Li Zhou was bullying them.

[Ding! Successfully punish the traitor and obtain 100 merits.]

Nowadays, the Yin and Shang Dynasties regard sacrificing to ghosts and gods as a beauty. Prisoners of war, slaves, and even ministers of the court, all have their blood sacrificed to ghosts and gods, so that the ancestors after death can continue to enjoy the wealth and honor in life underground.

As for the decision of who to sacrifice, it was never the human king Di Xin who had the final say, but the mysterious great witch wish, as well as those numerous witch wishes and divination.

The well looks ordinary, but it is within the scope of Wu Zhu and the others, so it is quite troublesome.

In the eyes of Wu Zhu and others, digging wells is to snatch water from the dead, and it is also disrespectful to the ghosts and gods. Fei Zhong and Youhun, two sycophants, would never dare to offend those Wu Zhu.

"It seems that I still have a lot to do."

Sacrificial rituals and music can be said to be a golden and iron-clad existence in the Yin and Shang Dynasties. Even if they are kings, they cannot be changed easily.

It's not a joke to offend those witches and really bring out the kings of the past dynasties and abolish their ability to establish kings.

"You two sent people to dig a well in Gu's palace, and said that Gu wanted to use it to worship his ancestors."

After all, Fei Zhongyouhun was a sycophant. Seeing that he could not influence Li Zhou's thoughts, he could only obediently get the drawings.

As soon as they picked it up, their eyes suddenly lit up. The drawing was exquisite, even the dimensions were written down.

So these two sycophants directly led people to dig a well in a corner behind the palace.

When the well was dug, Li Zhou immediately scooped it up and took a sip. His mind suddenly became clear and sweet, refreshing his heart and spleen.

"readily!"

Li Zhou took a sip and felt like he was alive again.

Fei Zhongyouhun also took a sip and felt that compared to the bitter and unpalatable spring water, this well water tasted much better. It was like fine wine.

"Your Majesty, it is not difficult to promote this well water, but it requires the help of one person."

"Oh? Who is it?"

"But we need help from Prime Minister Shang Rong."

When Fei Zhong finished drinking the well water, he could not forget the taste, so he thought of a way.

You Hun was also beside him making suggestions, "Your Majesty, if you ask the old prime minister for help, I'm afraid he won't agree."

"Oh? What should we do?"

You Hun deliberately lowered his voice, so and so, so and so.

Li Zhou laughed heartily and became even more satisfied when he looked at the two doctors, Fei Zhong and Youhun.

Why is there always a treacherous minister around the emperor? Without him, it's all because they can do things that others can't do.



After fooling around with Fei Zhongyouhun, he noticed that the sun was setting. Li Zhou slapped his thigh and hurriedly ran to the harem.

The Yin Shang people practiced a two-meal system, which mainly consisted of grains and mutton.

Queen Jiang, who had been waiting early, was packing rice with meat sauce and rice in a lacquerware box. Although the two princes were very hungry, they still waited politely.

As soon as Li Zhou stepped into the middle palace, he looked at the graceful Queen Jiang with a smile on his brows.

Li Zhou pretended to be his usual self, sat down on the main seat and drank the wine in one gulp when he saw the wine in the bottle.

This kind of wine is not high in alcohol content, contains maltose, and tastes very sweet. It is a drink commonly used by emperors and nobles.

After Li Zhou drank it, he felt that it was like a low-quality drink, and he suddenly lost interest in drinking. When he opened the exquisite lacquerware food box, he saw the meat sauce on the millet, which looked a bit like braised pork rice.

I took a bite and almost spit it out. The meat sauce was salty, greasy, and smelled of mutton, which was very unpleasant.

"What? Zishou, isn't the food delicious?"

Queen Jiang, who was always paying attention to Li Zhou, asked with great concern.

Li Zhou glanced at his two sons who were devouring their food and said, "No! It's nothing."

"Queen, I brought some well water for you to try."

"Well water?"

Queen Jiang didn't know what the well water was, but she still drank the well water in the wine bottle without any hesitation.

"Ahem!"

After drinking bitter spring water all year round, Queen Ginger was a little uncomfortable with drinking such sweet well water all of a sudden.

"poisonous!!"

Yin Jiao suddenly stood up and drew out the sword from his waist.

Yin Jiao was extremely angry, and Yin Hong even threw himself into Queen Jiang's arms, with tears streaming down his face.

What happened? When did I take the poison?
