Chapter 406 Wen Zhong’s Expedition to the East China Sea, Chao Tian’s Exploration of Xiqi(1/2)
Chen Shice? When King Zhou, who was secretly depressed and complaining in his heart when he heard Wen Zhong's words, had to pretend to be humble and be taught, responded: "What is the old teacher going to say, even if you say it!"
"I am the king, if you want to be eternal, your Majesty must listen to my ten strategies!" Wen Zhong immediately bowed his hands and said in a deep voice: "The first thing: to tear down the deer platform to calm the people; the second thing: to abandon the cannons and make the censors loyal; the third thing: to fill the pot and put the palace in peace; the fourth thing: to leave the wine pool and the meat forest to cover up the slander of the princes; the fifth thing: to demote Daji, set up the main palace so that there is no risk of bewitching the inner court; the sixth thing: to investigate the slander and kill Fei Zhong quickly, which is particularly sturdy and cheer the people, so that the unfilial ones will be far away; the seventh thing: to open the granaries to relieve the people of hunger; the eighth thing: to send a mission to the southeast; the ninth thing: to visit the remaining wise men in the mountains and lakes to explain the hearts of suspected people in the world; the tenth thing: to accept loyal advice, open the way of speech, so that the world will be free from obstruction."
King Zhou couldn't help but frown slightly: "The work in Lutai costs unlimited money and grain, and the work is not destroyed. It is a pity that it will be discussed again. Two pieces of "bamboo" are the only ones, three pieces, "blowing the basin" are the only ones, five pieces, "demolishing the Queen of Su". Now Daji is a quiet person and has no morals. How can he be exiled? He also discussed again. Six pieces, the doctor's expenses, especially the two, who have always been successful but have no guilt. Why are they slandered? How can they be punished if they are punished? In addition to these three pieces, the following are the following."
Wen Zhong immediately replied: "Lu Tai is a great achievement, which is a waste of money and a heavy resentment from the people of the world. The Queen advised Your Majesty to commit this tragic punishment. The gods were angry and ghosts were resentful, and Qu's soul was not Shen. I begged to demote Empress Su quickly, and the gods were happy and ghosts were relieved, so that the gods were happy and ghosts were relieved, so that they could be eliminated in the sky. I was investigated and killed Fei Zhong, especially Hun. The court will be pure, there will be no slander in the country, and there will be no danger of confusion and chaos. The court will not expect it to be clear and will be clear. I hope Your Majesty will implement it quickly, and it will be fortunate that there will be no hesitation and determination to mislead national affairs. I am very lucky!"
"I have approved seven items from the Grand Master; these three items will be approved before we can go." King Zhou was a little impatient and said hurriedly.
Wen Zhong said anxiously: "Your Majesty, don't say that the three matters are not enough to do. These three matters are related to the source of governance and chaos. Your Majesty must not ignore them and do not let them go."
While the king and his subjects were at odds, they saw that the doctor Fei Zhong was still unaware of the current affairs and wanted to start the report after leaving the rank.
"Doctor Fei, haven't seen me discussing affairs with the king? What do you have to say?" Wen Zhong couldn't help but look down when he saw this.
Fei Zhong then said: "Although the Taishi was at the highest position, he did not follow the national style: holding a pen to force the king to write memorials, which is not a courteous; originally participating in the queen is not a minister; ordering innocent ministers to be killed is not a lawful. The Taishi destroyed the king and relied on himself, and he was overthrown and carried out the palace, which greatly lost the etiquette of the ministers, which was very disrespectful!"
When Wen Zhong heard this, his eyebrows and eyes opened, his long beard stood up, and he said angrily: "Fe Zhong cleverly said that he was confused by the Lord. He was angry and killed me!"
While speaking, Wen Zhong raised his hand and punched Fei Zhong, and his face was bruised and swollen.
Seeing this, Youhun immediately came out to speak out: "The Grand Master was the palace to destroy the ministers. He would not beat Fei Zhong, but he would beat His Majesty!"
Wen Zhong couldn't help but look at You Hun with his eyes narrowed and said, "Who is your official?"
Youhun immediately raised his chest slightly and said, "I am Youhun."
"Oh? So it's you! The two thieves are trying to protect each other!" Wen Zhong smiled suddenly and shouted angrily.
After saying that, Wen Zhong suddenly stepped forward and slapped the treacherous minister You Hun, who had somersaults and fell down the Danbu for more than ft. Then he called his left and right to indulge in a deep voice: "Take Fei, You and the other two out of the Meridian Gate and behead them!"
The warriors of the dynasty were most annoyed by these two people. When the Taishi was angry, they immediately rushed forward and pushed them out of the Meridian Gate.
Seeing that Wen Zhong was already angry at the bull fight, King Zhou had to remain silent, without saying anything, and said in his heart: "Fei, You and the other two do not know the rules, so they will be humiliated."
Wen Zhong asked again to ask King Zhou to issue an order to kill Fei, and You and the other two. How could King Zhou be willing to kill Fei? You and the other two said, "The Grand Tutor's memorials are all right. I will do these three things. I will do it again. Although Fei, You and the other two ministers, have offended the Chanqing, their crimes are not proven. They will be questioned. If the true crime is to be found, they will not complain."
When the Grand Master heard that King Zhou had repeatedly complained, he was diligent and thought to himself: "Although I say that I am loyal to the country, I am afraid of the ministers. Isn't it the crime of deceiving the king first?"
Thinking of this in my heart, I sighed and knelt down and said, "I hope that all directions will be subdued, the people will be safe, and the princes will be submissive. My wish is enough. How dare I have hope for him!"
"You sent the court to investigate the fees. The seven documents were held immediately; the three were discussed to be implemented again," he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said hurriedly, turning back to the palace and ordered all officials to scatter.
Wen Zhong returned to the mansion and sighed secretly about Huang Feihu's rebellion, and was worried about Xiqi. After thinking for a moment, he ordered his left and right to beat drums and gather generals to discuss military affairs.
At that moment, all the generals and officials came to visit. The Grand Master asked, "The generals, Huang Feihu has rebelled and has returned to Xiqi, and will cause trouble. It is better to raise an army first and correct his crimes, so that he can attack the unjust officials. What do you think?"
The general Lu Xiong came out to speak, "The last general Qi Taishi: Dongbo Marquis Jiang Wenhuan, the Marquis of Dongbo, made the Wanhun Pass and Dou Rong exhausted his heart; Nanbo Marquis Eshun, the three mountain passes every month, suffering and ruining creatures, Deng Jiugong couldn't sleep. Although Huang Feihu had the five passes, the Taishi could call the general to guard the guard and strictly prepare the guard for the pass. It is expected that when Xiqi rises up, there are five passes in the middle, there are Qinglong and Jiameng Passes. Even if the flying tiger has the ability, it cannot be able to do anything, so why bother the Taishi? The two places of war have not yet stopped, so why should this place have a war and seek many troubles. Moreover, the treasury is empty and there are insufficient money and food, so we should take a closer look. The ancient saying: 'A general must fight and defend clearly, so that the way to peace of the world is the way to peace.'"
"Although the old general's words are right, I am still afraid that the Western land will not keep its duties. If there is a disaster, how can I get it without preparation? Besides, the Nangong of Xiqi is brave enough to run through the three armies, and it is easy to make a living. Jiang Shang is a moral man, so you must be careful. With emptiness and emptiness, you can dig a well when you are thirsty, how can you regret it?" Wen Zhong nodded and praised.
Lu Xiong hurriedly said, "If the Grand Master is hesitant, he will be able to leave one or two generals to go west to find out the news of Xiqi."
Wen Zhong nodded quickly and said, "The general's words are exactly."
While speaking, Wen Zhong hurriedly asked his side: "Who is going to Xiqi for me?"
A general in the room responded and said, "I will go there at the end."
This man was blessed with the emperor Chao Tian. When he saw the Grand Master bowing to his tribute, he said, "At the end, we will go here, we will explore the virtual and the real; the other is to observe Xiqi's advance and retreat to the nest."
Hearing this, he was overjoyed. He ordered Chao Tian to lead 30,000 troops to explore the Xushi of Xiqi.
There is a saying: the world is prosperous, good things will happen; the world is dead, and the misfortune will decline. I heard that Zhongfang said that the affairs in the court had just improved a little, but I didn’t expect that the news of King Pingling’s rebellion came from the East China Sea.
Early the next day, when he heard Zhong's report on King Pingling's rebellion, King Zhou couldn't help but be furious: "I don't want to just pacify Beihai, King Pingling came to rebel again, Grand Tutor. What if he did?"
Wen Zhong replied: "My dedication is to worry about the country and the people, so I have to go. I am ready to rush to the East China Sea as soon as possible to quell the rebellion. I hope that Your Majesty will put the country first and make three statements sooner or later, and wait for me to discuss it."
King Zhou was very happy when he heard the news. He wished that the Grand Master Wen had gone. He did not disturb him in front of him, and his heart was very clear. He hurriedly sent an edict: "I sent a yellow flag and a white o'clock, and then I went to the Grand Master Wen to get off and raise an army."
King Zhou set out of Chaoge East Gate, personally sent Wen Zhong, and ordered him to pour wine and give it to the Grand Master.
Wen Zhong took over and spoke to King Zhou with sincerity: "I have nothing to worry about when I go here. I hope that your Majesty will listen to the advice and put the country first and do not change the old rules. There is a good ruler. General Chao Tian went west to Xiqi and the war was conquered. Your Majesty must also be concerned about it. When I go here, I will be as long as a year, and as low as a half year, and I will return soon."
King Zhou was always responding. The Grand Master took the wine and raised his troops to the East China Sea with a cannon.
...
The sound of the sky cannons, the sound of the earth gongs. The sound of the sky cannons, the spring thunder rose from the vast ocean; the sound of the earth gongs, and the thunder flew in front of the mountains. People are like tigers leaving the mountain, horses are like dragons coming out of the water. The flags and flags are swinging, like five-color auspicious clouds; the swords and halberds are brilliant, but like the auspicious snow of the three winters. The murderous aura covers the universe, and the battle clouds are everywhere. The warriors are brave enough to compete for the first place, and the tigers are holding a sharp blade. The silver helmet is flying in white clouds, and the armor is bright and bright. The rolling people walk like water, and the surging horses are walking like scattered. It is really a magnificent momentum, a heroic army!
Speaking of Chao Tian, Chao Lei's men and horses set out earlier than Wen Zhong's attack on the East China Sea. He went out of Chaoge, crossed the Yellow River, and left the Five Passes. He walked at dawn and stayed at night for only one day. The whistle and horses reported: "The people and horses have arrived in Xiqi."
Chao Tian then ordered a camp to set up a camp, sent a post to explore the surrounding area for hundreds of miles, and discussed military information with his brother Chao Lei.
Let’s talk about Jiang Shang sitting idle in the prime minister’s mansion. Suddenly, he heard a shout that shocked the ground. Jiang Shang stood up in shock and said to himself: “Why are there shouts of killing?”
From time to time, the mansion's butler Jiang Shuang came to report: "Your Majesty, Chaoge sent a large army to come and is now stationed in Ximen."
When Jiang Shang heard this, he immediately said to himself: "Why did Cheng Tang raise an army to invade? Could it be for King Wucheng..."
As his mind turned around, Jiang Shang suddenly sent a command to beat drums and gathered the generals. Suddenly, the generals went to the hall to visit. Jiang Shang couldn't help but say, "Cheng Tang's men came to invade, but I don't know why?"
When the generals heard this, they looked at each other slightly. After a moment of silence, they couldn't help but look at Huang Feihu and Huang Gun's father and son.
"Prime Minister, most of the time Cheng Tang sent troops to me. I am willing to lead the troops to meet the enemy in person!" Huang Feihu immediately went out to ask for his orders when facing everyone's eyes.
Seeing this, Jiang Shang couldn't help but waved his hand and said, "Don't be anxious when King Wucheng! The situation is not clear, so it is not advisable to fight without authorization. Let's see how the other party acts, and it's not too late to discuss who will go to fight!"
"Yes!" Hearing Jiang Shang say this, Huang Feihu had no choice but to respond and retreat into the train.
While everyone was waiting for the news, King Wu of Wu, Ji Fa, who was busy with government affairs, rushed over, attracting the welcome from the generals, and Jiang Shang personally asked him to sit down in the main seat. King Wu respected Jiang Shang and ordered someone to put a seat on one side for Jiang Shang to sit.
Everyone was waiting for the news, and the Dissertation reported: "There is a fight."
Jiang Shang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who will ask about the truth and go there?"
Before he finished speaking, General Nangong adapted to the voice and said, "I am willing to go."
Seeing that Nangong Shi had taken the lead, Huang Feihu, who was about to respond, couldn't help but remain silent helplessly. Although he was favored by King Wu and wanted to repay him, he didn't want to fight with Nangong Shi, otherwise he would have been disgusted by the civil and military officials of Xiqi. After all, Huang Feihu was reused by King Wu, which had already made the civil and military officials of Xiqi feel a little uncomfortable.
Jiang Shang nodded and agreed. Nangong Shi led a group of troops out of the city, lined up the formation, and immediately rode the flag gate. When he saw it, it was Chao Lei. Nangong Shi said, "General Chao is slow! Today, I have no reason to add troops to the Western territory, but why?"
Chao Lei replied: "I am ordered by the emperor and heard the military order of the Grand Secretary. I asked Ji Fa that he would establish himself as King Wu, and did not obey the emperor's orders, and accepted the traitor Huang Feihu. It is very hateful! You can enter the city quickly and report to your lord, and give up the rebel minister early to Chaoge to avoid the disaster in your county. If you wait for delay, how can you regret it?"
Nangong Shi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Chao Lei, King Zhou was a serious crime, and the slaughter was in his ministers. He did not think about his achievements; he killed Yuan and mill, and had any mistakes in the Sitian; he made cannons and broiled, and could not be advised; he treated the slaughter. It was difficult to reach the deep palace; he killed his uncle, dissected his heart and cured his illness; he started Lutai, and all the surnames suffered; he deceived his ministers and wives, and his five ties were destroyed; he favored villains, and he was very bad. My lord stayed in Xiqi, obeyed the law and be kind, and his son was filial and kind, and his father was kind, and he returned to the West. The people were happy and healthy, and his army was happy. You dare to invade Xiqi today, which was a disaster of humiliation."
Chao Lei was furious when he heard this, and rode his horse and danced his sword to fight Nangong Shi. Nangong Shi raised his sword to meet him. The two horses intersected and the two swords were raised. A big battle. Nangong Shi fought with Chao Lei for thirty rounds, and killed Chao Lei only to his strength. There was Nangong Shi's opponent! Nangong Shi sold a flaw and captured the horse alive. He fell down and tied his back. The victory drum sounded and advanced to Xiqi.
Nangong Shi went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to obey the orders. He reported to King Wu from the left and right. Jiang Shang ordered Nangong Shi to enter the palace. Jiang Shang asked, "The general is going to fight. What is the victory or defeat?"
Nangong Shi replied with a smile: "Chao Lei is here to fight and has been captured alive by the last general and the other party. He will come to King Wu and the Prime Minister to hand over the order!"
Jiang Shang nodded happily and shouted: "Push Chao Lei in!"
He pushed Chao Lei to the front and left and right. Chao Lei stood up but did not kneel down. Jiang Shang asked with a smile, "Since Chao Lei was captured by me, why don't he kneel down and survive?"
Chao Lei couldn't help but stare and shouted, "You are just a villain who has made up a fence and sold face! I am a minister of the Supreme People's Republic of China. Unfortunately, I was captured and died. How could I bow my knees!"
When Jiang Shang heard this, his smile on his face slightly restrained and said in a quiet voice: "Put out the beheading!"
The left and right led Chao Lei to push out. When the generals on both sides heard Chao Lei scolding Ziya for being so flawed, the generals couldn't help but laugh at Jiang Shang's background as a shallow one. At this time, although Jiang Shang impressed the civil servants of Xiqi with his talent in governing government affairs, he was not worthy of prestige for those generals. Jiang Shang knew what kind of person Jiang Shang meant. Jiang Shang and the generals laughed and said, "Chao Lei said that I built a fence and sold face, which was not a humiliation for me. Yi Yin was a common man in Xinye, and later became a businessman, and was only a matter of meeting him sooner or later."
Listening to Jiang Shang's words, the generals with a slightly changeable expression couldn't help but look silently and look at their noses and noses.
Seeing this, Jiang Shang smiled faintly, then turned to the order and said, "Chu Lei and come and report it!"
The King of Wucheng Huang Feihu also hurriedly said, "Prime Minister is here: "Chao Lei only knows that there is Zhou, but not Zhou. At the end of the year, he dares to say that this person surrenders. Later, he can also gain his strength."
Jiang Shang pondered for a moment and responded happily.
King Wu sat upright on the main seat, smiled faintly and saw all this in his eyes without saying a word.
Huang Feihu left the prime minister's mansion and saw Chao Lei kneeling to execute the punishment. He couldn't help but squatted down and looked at Chao Lei with a slightly complicated look: "General Chao!"
When Chao Lei saw Huang Feihu, he snorted and turned his head without saying a word.
Huang Feihu was not upset when he saw this, and turned to sigh and said, "You don't know the time, the place is not good, and the people are not clear. Three parts of the world, and Zhou's land has already been divided into two parts. Both southeast, west and north are not part of Zhou. Although Zhou is strong and powerful, he is healthy and cold in spring. Zhou's sins offend the people of the world, and there is no rest in the war. Besides, the soldiers and horses in the southeast are uneasy, and the world's affairs can be known. King Wu is enough to maintain peace and stability, and Wu can set the country. I think I was appointed as King Wucheng of Zhenguo, so I only changed one word here: Founding King Wucheng. The world returns to my heart and follow Zhou. The virtue of King Wu is the virtue of Yao and Shun, not a mistake. I am now for you, and I will persuade the Prime Minister and the brigade general to surrender, so I can protect my talents for all generations. If I am obsessed with the execution order, it will be difficult to protect my life and regret it."
Chao Lei was spoken by Huang Feihu, and he said with a clear mind, "General Huang, the last general offended Prime Minister Jiang just now, and he may not be forgiven."
"I should protect you if you have the will to surrender," Huang Feihu said hurriedly.
Hearing Huang Feihu say this, he sighed inwardly, and then Chao Lei nodded and said, "Forget it, since he has been protected by the general's great kindness, it is a virtue of rebirth. The last general dares not know his fate."
Let’s talk about Feihu coming in to see Jiang Shang again, saying that Chao Lei surrendered.
Jiang Shang couldn't help but say, "It is unrighteous to kill and surrender. General Huang said, and he sent an order to release him."
Chao Lei went to the eaves and bowed to the ground: "The last time he was reckless and offended the emperor's face, he should be corrected. The blessings of the good will be forgiven, and the virtues will be as good as a mountain."
Jiang Shang shook his head and said with a smile: "Since the general is sincere to the country, he is a brave minister, and he is both a minister of the palace, and he is a supporter of his loyalty. What crime is there? The general has returned to Zhou, and people outside the city can be transferred into the city."
Chao Lei quickly responded: "In the camp outside the city, there is also the brother Chao Tian, the Mo general. When the Mo general leaves the city, he will be invited to see the Prime Minister together."
Jiang Shang was secretly happy when he heard this, and couldn't help but respond with a smile and sent Chao Lei out of Xiqi City.
When the generals saw Jiang Shang saying this, Chao Lei went to persuade his brother to surrender, they couldn't help but feel a little impressed. It seems that this Prime Minister Jiang is indeed a little capable!
Let’s talk about Chao Lei returning to the business camp and detailed with his brother Chao Tian. Chao Tian couldn’t help but scold Chao Lei in shock and angrily. Chao Lei was reduced by Huang Feihu and Jiang Shang’s sticks and dates, but he didn’t expect that his brothers and family were all in Chaoge. If this news came out, family members would probably be in danger.
In desperation, the two brothers decided to make a decision and immediately became jealous.
So, the next day, Chao Lei returned to Xiqi and said that it was okay to surrender to Jiang Shangyan, but he was afraid that the generals would worry, so Xiqi needed to send an important official to surrender and preserve his decentness.
To be continued...
