Chapter 8 Zhaoxuan Hall discusses the situation! Fighting wisdom is still my strength
When Wei Ziqi saw that his father confirmed his statement, he became emboldened and continued: "Although the eight hundred princes are good and bad, fortunately, most of them are still loyal to our court, especially the four great princes - Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu and Nanbohou E Chongyu
, Xibohou Jichang, Beibohou Chonghouhu, each of them is loyal and can be a powerful assistant to his father. These four princes each command 200 princes and manage them separately. Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu and Xibohou Jichang also return
You can lead the princes in the east and west to repel the Dongyi and the Quanrong. In this way, your father can live in peace in Qiyi, spread benevolence and enjoy a peaceful and prosperous age."
After Wei Ziqi finished speaking, he was secretly happy when he saw a smile on Di Yi's face, but he heard a sneer coming from the side: "Brother Wang has come up with a good 'good idea'! If you follow these words, you are digging your own grave, which is really ridiculous!"
"
"Brother Third King! You..." Wei Ziqi's face turned red when he heard King Shou mocking him unabashedly in front of his father, and he was so angry that he could not speak.
"Xin'er! Why are you so rude!" Emperor Yi scolded Zhang Zixing, "If you have any opinions, please tell me yourself!"
Zhang Zixing Su Rong said: "I believe that the biggest worry of big business at present is not outside, but inside!"
Di Yi raised his thick eyebrows, a flash of light flashed across his eyes, and he still asked calmly: "What is the meaning of this statement?"
"The 'internal worries' that I am referring to are the eight hundred princes who are divided into various places!" Zhang Zixing's eyes were sharp and he could see that Emperor Yi was a little moved, but he did not care about his shocking words and continued: "Although the princes from all walks of life are surrendering on the surface,
Secretly, they all have their own agendas, especially the four most powerful princes. If we follow Brother Wang's advice and let him have his way, wouldn't it be equivalent to putting his own life and even our great business empire into the hands of others! They
Once you rebel, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"You are so brave, Third Prince Brother! You are here to scaremonger and slander Zhongliang!" Wei Ziqi interrupted Zhang Zixing loudly: "The four princes are loyal and sincere, and the sun and the moon can teach us! Not to mention that Dong Bohou has a relationship with you.
In the relationship between Weng and his son-in-law, which one of Nanbohou and Beibohou is not loyal to the country? There is also Xibohou Jichang, who is a benevolent gentleman and is known as a saint. He married his father's sister in the Weishui River and became famous all over the world.
What kind of rebellion comes from this?"
"Hmph! I'm afraid Xiqi is the biggest thorn in my side, Dashang! Even if the 'loyal minister' Ji Chang doesn't rebel now, who can guarantee that his descendants will be loyal to Dashang? Even the so-called 'saints' are like this, let alone others.
Princes?" Zhang Zixing knows better than anyone here that whether it is history or novels, the ending of the Shang Dynasty is that it was destroyed by Ji Chang's son Ji Fa. "If you don't realize it yet, there will definitely be disrespect.
The consequences of a situation in which the emperors and their respective masters are in charge will inevitably lead to the division of territory and the destruction of the country and the family!"
"Silence, shut up!" Di Yi shouted angrily, covering his chest in pain, almost breathless. It seemed that the old problem of chest pain had returned. Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziyan hurriedly knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.
, but Zhang Zixing still looked at his extremely angry father calmly.
Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziyan secretly rejoiced when they saw Emperor Yi scolding Zhang Zixing. During the day, they were worried about their brother's bravery. Unexpectedly, he was so ignorant at night, which made their father really angry.
"Since I, the great merchant, became the sage of Tang, I have experienced twenty-nine generations of kings. Although there have been occasional ups and downs during this period, the country has always been as stable as a rock. Today, I have inherited the destiny of heaven, governed the four directions with benevolence, conquered the world with virtue, and eight hundred princes.
I sincerely submit to you, how can you talk about the subjugation of the country! How dare you talk so alarmist! I will punish you to kneel here and reflect. If you don't repent again, you will definitely not be forgiven!"
Emperor Yi panted hard and after scolding Zhang Zixing angrily, he seemed to lose interest and said to Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziyan: "You two should step aside and leave this traitor here to reflect. No one is allowed to intercede for him.
"
From the gloating looks in the eyes of Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziyan, it can be seen that Di Yi's last words were in vain. The two looked at each other, bowed and left. Di Yi glanced at Zhang Zixing, and left Zhaoxuan Hall with a flourish of his sleeves.
The sky was getting dark, and the Zhaoxuan Hall was also lit up with bright candlelight. Unknowingly, two hours had passed. Zhang Zixing was still kneeling on the ground, with a very calm expression. He didn't seem to be worried at all because of Emperor Yi's rage.
The Dark Luck Fighting Soul Technique can relieve the pain in your knees.
"Sir, do you know how to repent?" At some point, Di Yi's voice suddenly came from behind.
Sure enough, it happened... Zhang Zixing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but still insisted on his opinion "irrepentantly": "I know that I have failed my father's wrong love, but I don't think that I am wrong."
The strange thing is that Emperor Yi was not furious this time, but snorted coldly and said: "What a rebellious son, but you refuse to repent! Since you insist so much, I will listen to your words. If you can't tell me something,
It's true, I will drive you out of Qiyi and banish you overseas!"
Zhang Zixing saw the internal turmoil in Emperor Yi, and knew that his treasure was in the right place. A smile appeared on his lips, and he combined the knowledge and opinions of later generations with eloquent words to explain the pros and cons of the feudal system that he knew.
He revealed the future historical facts about the splitting and destruction of the Zhou Dynasty, and the melee between the heroes in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. He also indirectly stated it from a predictive perspective, and also mentioned the monarchical centralization system that made Emperor Yi's heart beat.
Emperor Yi had always been wary of the major princes and wanted to reform, but he had never heard such incisive and unique insights. Many of the words he had never heard of. His anger suddenly turned away, and he personally stepped forward to help Zhang Zixing and sighed: "
Qi'er and Yan'er, one only knows the so-called "benevolence" to convince people, the other has no talent. They have no idea that our dynasty is now facing internal and external troubles and is in turmoil, which really makes them extremely disappointed. Since the heyday of Wu Ding, our country's national power has gradually increased.
On the other hand, the princes from all over the world were rising one after another, and it became increasingly difficult to control them. When the former emperor was Taiding, he was afraid of Xiqi's great power, so he imprisoned and killed the then Xibohou Jili (Ji Chang's father). His son Ji Chang however
Inheriting my father's will, Xiqi's power is not weak but strong. In order to avenge Ji Chang, I have no choice but to marry my younger sister Taisi to make peace with him. It is really a shame for the great merchants!"
"I originally thought that my son was just a person with only courage and little resourcefulness. Today I found out that he is both wise and brave. I am really lucky to be a great businessman!" Emperor Yi looked at Zhang Zixing with relief and showed a happy face: "It's just...Yi Wang'er
In this case, how to solve the problem of 'local' threatening the 'central'?"
"The power of the emperor should be strengthened, and the strategy of 'centralization' with the emperor as the center should be adopted as mentioned by the previous ministers. While constantly strengthening itself, it should gradually weaken the power of the princes. When the time is ripe, then use force to carry out reforms.
, create a great cause for the ages!”
"What a great achievement!" Emperor Yi's eyes fell on Zi Xing and suddenly asked: "If my son is the emperor, how should we govern the country?"
"My son is terrified..." Zhang Zixing heard this, and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly knelt down and said a few heroic words that he had prepared long ago: "Educate the people with benevolent government, intimidate the heroes with force, and establish laws and regulations."
Quartet, reappear the prosperous age of Chengtang Saint Ancestor!"
"It is the way of an emperor to use grace and kindness in a precise manner." Emperor Yi's eyes lit up, his face gradually relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and he praised: "Your Majesty is unparalleled in wisdom and courage, and is also far-sighted.
, Mingjian Wanli, he is truly the best choice for the crown prince!"
Zhang Zixing seemed to see a destiny that finally landed on him after several twists and turns, and he couldn't help but sigh. He had already made up his mind to face everything, so he didn't hesitate at all: "Thank you for your love, my father, I will definitely not
Disappointment!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Di Yi solved one of his biggest worries. Long Xin was so happy that he laughed three times and asked another "off-topic" question, which made Zhang Zixing startled: "By the way, Wang Er
, I heard that you desire the Huang family’s daughter?”
"This..." In fact, Zhang Zixing had never even seen Miss Huang's face. He couldn't help but be stunned. When he thought that Wei Ziqi was also pursuing her, he immediately replied: "I really can't hide anything from my father...
…I really do have this intention!”
——Miss Huang is destined to be my third wife. Wei Ziqi, you hypocrite, stop your delusions and go away!
"Old Huang Gun, the father of Huang Nu, has always supported your eldest brother. If Wang Er can marry her, you can also bring all the power of the Huang family to your side. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!" Emperor Yi stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "
How about I simply accomplish this beautiful thing and issue a decree to marry you tomorrow?"
Alas, another political marriage! Zhang Zixing lamented in his heart, but he thanked her loudly: "Thank you, Father, for your grace!"
The only thing Zhang Zixing can do now is to pray that the appearance of this "tiger" female general will not be too tough, because the description of her appearance in the original book is simply blank.
Emperor Yi and Zhang Zixing have been talking to each other so far, and his face is gradually showing signs of fatigue. Zhang Zixing observes his words and excuses himself wisely. When he passed a pillar in Zhaoxuan Hall, he suddenly felt something. He frowned, but did not dare to stop.
leave.
After he left, Di Yi suddenly asked an inexplicable question: "What do you think, Second Minister?"
At this time, Shang Rong and Wen Zhong suddenly appeared behind the pillar in the palace. It turned out that the two of them had been using Wen Zhong's Taoist magic to become invisible and heard clearly the conversation between Emperor Yi and King Shou. However, Wen Zhong
Little did he know that Zhang Zixing could faintly sense his Mudun, otherwise he would have been quite surprised.
"It is not the flattery of an old minister, but His Royal Highness King Shou is talented, brave and resourceful, and many wonderful opinions made the old minister suddenly enlightened." Shang Rong praised: "His Majesty has such a son, which is a blessing to our dynasty and also the hope for the prosperity of great business!"
Wen Zhong also nodded: "After hearing about the strange illness of the Third Highness, his character changed drastically, as if he had completely changed his mind. When I saw it today, it was indeed the case. Not only was the Third Highness more powerful than before, but he was also extremely resourceful. He used 'Zongheng' to deal with the enemies of the powerful Hou.
In fact, this is unprecedented. Although the veteran minister has always been conceited, he also feels inferior to himself. This must be the spirit of the ancestor Chengtang, and the great merchants will have another virtuous king in the future!"
Hearing that the most powerful civil and military ministers in the court praised King Shou so highly, Emperor Yi was delighted: "In this case, after I pass away, my two ministers should do their best to assist King Shou."
Wen Zhong and Shang Rong quickly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty is in the prime of life and still has a long life. Please cherish the dragon body and never say such words again!"
"You don't have to comfort me anymore," Di Yi sighed, looking at the starry sky outside the window with a faint look of tiredness on his face, "I have a premonition that my time is running out..."
Wen Zhong and Shang Rong were shocked at the same time, fell down on the ground, and said in unison: "I will do my best to help the prince, and I will not give up even if I die!"
Emperor Yi nodded happily, waved his long sleeves, and signaled the two ministers to retreat.
