Sun Wukong's life simulator

Chapter 240

On this day, Emperor Xin of the Shang Dynasty hosted a banquet for all the officials in the Qiankun Palace.

Before the banquet started, many noble ministers surrounded the old prime minister, Shang Rong.

"Old Prime Minister, there are [-] schools in Nancheng that occupy the shops of my family. Those shops are related to the livelihood of the people in Santiao Street, so they can't just be closed like this."

"Prime Minister, shouldn't the purchase tax system be lowered? Who doesn't have a few houses and shops now?"

"Yes, Prime Minister, there are still issues of slavery and slave trading. This year, our family can only use cattle, sheep and livestock instead of offering sacrifices to our ancestors. This is inconsistent with the ancestor's law and is disrespectful to our ancestors."

Shang Rong listened with a smile on his face, nodded repeatedly, and responded from time to time.

"The problems you mentioned, I will take the opportunity to advise the king and make adjustments. Don't mention the issue of slaves. Didn't the king kill enough people last year?"

These aristocratic ministers talked about a lot of appeals, and they didn't stop until the banquet started.

In Qiankun Hall, Di Xin sat at the head.

After the civil and military officials saluted and sat down, he smiled and said: "The banquet today is just for celebration. In recent years, Chaoge and Dashang have made rapid progress. This is inseparable from the joint support of everyone. Drink this cup to the full. .”

When the king of Shang raised his glass, all the officials naturally did not dare to be disrespectful, and they all raised their glasses to drink.

However, many people looked at the figures approaching Di Xin.

Hu Xian'er, Hu Xiaoyu, Hu Ximei, Yang Jiao, and Jiang Ziya, who are privately called by the nobles as the lackey of Zhengshitang.

running dog?

Jiang Ziya drank on his own, not caring about those eyes that harbored hatred.

In recent years, most of the government orders come from the political affairs hall, and the civil and military officials in the court are like small officials who handle affairs, and have no chance to participate in politics at all.

Coupled with the [-] national policies of Qian Kun, it has touched the interests of many nobles. These people must have resentment, but they dare not show it, so they can only do this kind of silent resistance.

Because Di Xin did kill enough people.

"Today's banquet is not peaceful." Jiang Ziya savored the delicious food in front of him carefully, while also paying attention to the situation in the hall.

In Chaoge, some things cannot be hidden.

For example, a few days ago, the eldest son of Xibohou came to Chaoge and visited all the ministers of the court. Everyone knew the purpose of his visit.

So the ministers all avoided seeing him, only Abigan bumped into Bo Yikao by accident.

"As Daoist Qiankun said, these are two pure and good people without any scheming." Jiang Ziya took another sip of wine and waited to watch the show.

Sure enough, halfway through the banquet, Yabi Gan stepped forward to salute: "Your Majesty, I have something to announce."

All the ministers looked over.

"Uncle Wang, today's banquet is just for celebration, not about state affairs." Di Xin laughed.

"What I said is not a matter of state." Bigan said, "It is Bo Yikao, the eldest son of Xibo Hou Jichang, who paid tribute to him. There are Xiqi treasures, Qixiang chariot, sobering felt, white-faced ape, and ten beauties, presented to the king."

"The widow wants to see these treasures, let him come up." Di Xin's smile remained unchanged.

Soon, Bo Yikao led the treasure into the Qiankun Palace.

"The criminal minister Xibohou Zibo Yikao, pay homage to the king!" He knelt down and saluted, "I present the treasures of my ancestors and beg the king to let my father return home."

As soon as this remark came out, the complexions of all the officials changed, how could such a reckless Marquis of Xibo have such an audience?
Everyone looked up carefully, only to see that the king's expression really sank.

"Bo Yi Kao, when did I say that Xi Bohou was a criminal? He left as soon as he wanted, and no one stopped him." Di Xin said in a deep voice, "Xi Bohou has been in Chaoge for seven years, and I treat him like an elder. The beauties keep playing with things, when did you treat him slowly?"

"Your Majesty is really like this?" Bo Yikao was overwhelmed with surprise, and a hanging heart finally fell.

"You are not joking." Di Xin nodded lightly, "I think of your benevolence and filial piety, and I will forgive you for your disrespect. After the banquet is over, you will find your father and king."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Bo Yi Kao kowtowed again and again.

Seeing this scene, all the civil and military officials present looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to believe what they saw.

Xibo Hou Jichang was imprisoned, it was already a tacit understanding, why would the king say such words today, and leave as soon as he wants?

He also forgives Bo Yikao's crime of disrespect. When did the king who has the name of a tyrant be so kind?

Yabigan nodded in relief, this is the benevolent king in his heart.

But when he saw the figures approaching Di Xin, his expression changed again, and he put his hand on the sword box next to him.

Since there is a benevolent king, great business will prosper, how can we allow evil spirits to control the government!
"Your Majesty, I also have treasures to offer." Bigan stepped forward with his sword case in hand.

"Everyone knows that Uncle Wang is clean and honest. If there are treasures, Uncle Wang should keep them for himself, and exchange some goods to subsidize the family in the future." Di Xin laughed.

"My lord, this is the treasure of kingship, I dare not keep it at home." Bigan said solemnly.

"Oh? The royal treasure?" Di Xin raised his eyebrows.

"Look, my lord!" Bigan directly opened the sword box, and saw a peach wood sword exuding a strange fragrance inside.

Hu Xian'er, Hu Xiaoyu, Hu Ximei, and Yang Jiao all changed their complexions, and Jiang Ziya frowned. He was not a high-level man, but he still felt that these scents were not right.

When Bigan saw the change in the expressions of Hu Xiaoyu and the others, he immediately sneered. It seems that, as Ji Xianbo said, the three phases of the Hu family are all demons!

"Huh?" Bigan was a little surprised again, because there was no movement of the demon-killing sword in the sword box.

"Yaxiang, get out of here!" Suddenly, a shout came from behind him.

But it's too late.

"Roar!" Almost at the same time, a roar resounded through the Qiankun Hall.

The white-faced ape that Bo Yikao brought to the hall went berserk, with a bloodthirsty red light in his eyes, and rushed forward with a roar.

Whoa!
With a gust of wind, the giant palm slapped Bigan who stood in front of him.

Most of the officials in the palace were civil servants, only a few were military generals. For a while, all the officials were in a panic, and no one came to stop them.

In other words, they didn't have the strength to stop them at all, and the powerful Wu Cheng Wang Huang Feihu did not participate in the banquet.

At this moment, Di Xin jumped forward, and the golden light of humanity and luck gathered, and he directly met the giant palm of the white-faced ape.

Bang!
The air wave swept across, and the huge white-faced ape flew upside down, breaking a pillar in the hall.

Immediately, everyone was shocked, they all knew that the king was brave and powerful, but they didn't expect to have such strength!
Bigan was not shocked, but rather dazed, looking down at the sword case in his hand.

"It's the scent of this sword that drives the white-faced apes mad. Prime Minister Bigan, do you have anything to say?" Hu Xian'er walked up to Bigan and closed the sword case.

"I..." Bigan's eyes were blank, he was not stupid, of course he understood what happened, that's why he was at a loss.

That's someone he respects, how could it be so?

Hearing Hu Xian'er's words, the eyes of all the officials also converged, and they couldn't believe that Mr. Bigan would commit an assassination.

"Whose sword is this?" Hu Xian'er asked again.

"I...don't know." Bigan was very distressed, but he still abided by his own morality, unwilling to betray his friends.

"If you don't tell me, the widow will know who it is." Di Xin sat back on the head with a sullen face.

It was obvious that the Banquet of Hundred Officials could not go on, the officials were all terrified, for fear that the king would be angry and start killing.

Bigan stood in front of the hall in a daze, next to Bo Yikao who was still kneeling on the ground but was already frightened.

Not long after, the sound of steady footsteps came from outside the hall, and Wu Chengwang Huang Feihu came to the Qiankun Hall in armor.

"Your Majesty, this subject is guilty." Huang Feihu saluted.

"What's your crime?" Di Xin asked.

"I have a family general, Zhou Ji, who colluded with Xibo Hou Jichang and stole my copper talisman yesterday." Huang Feihu said, "This morning, I found that the copper talisman was missing. After some inquiries, I found out that Xibohou had already fled with the arrow of the minister's bronze talisman. Chaoge.

The minister is guilty, and I ask the king to come down! "

These words made all the civil and military officials in the hall turn pale with fright. Xibohou fled?But didn't Your Majesty just say that Marquis Xibo can leave if he wants?

Bigan's figure flickered even more, as if he had lost all the strength in his whole body, and he sat on the ground dizzily, the blankness in his eyes had completely turned into bewilderment and pain.

How could he still not understand that he was deceived and used by his most respected friend!

Where are there any evil spirits, where are there any demon-killing swords, this human heart is more terrifying than evil spirits!
Why do you want to do this?Don't Xibohou know that Bo Yikao is going to the temple today?

Such a son of benevolence and filial piety, who traveled far and wide to Chaoge to save his father, was just abandoned by his own father?

Compared with dryness, Bo Yikao, who was still kneeling on the ground, burst into tears as if he heard a thunderbolt from the blue sky. This time he was indeed an abandoned child.

If his father had indeed been imprisoned and finally escaped, he would never be so desperate and sad.

But King Zhou had already made it very clear that he could leave as soon as he wanted to, and he even asked him to meet his father in Yuli after the banquet.

It was his father who misunderstood all this, and even regarded him as an abandoned son, and used the white-faced ape to mess with the official banquet to escape!

Inside the Qiankun Hall, Bo Yikao's cries were particularly loud.

"Why did Ji Xianbo come to this, why did he come to this!" Di Xin sighed, "Everyone knows that Ji Xianbo has a reputation for benevolence, which is admired by all people, and the widow also regards him as the most respected elder. Why would he do such a thing? ?”

All the officials were speechless, and their expressions were all complicated.

After a long sigh, Di Xin said with a wry smile: "I respect Ji Xianbo, he may have misunderstood me, but I am a junior, how can we be harsh on him, and Xibo Marquis Jichang is not guilty.

The road to Xiqi is dangerous, Yin is broken and thunder is broken. You set off quickly and catch up with Xibohou. You must send him back to Xiqi safely, and don't hurt his life. "

The second general Yin Lei took the order to leave immediately, and the expressions of the officials became more complicated.

tyrant?King of benevolence?
"After this incident, Xibohou's reputation will be ruined." Jiang Ziya shook his head lightly. Obviously, everyone's perception of Xibohou Jichang has begun to change.

"Daoist Qiankun's plan is too poisonous... No, it's too wonderful!" He praised again in his heart.

Since Ji Chang hadn't stepped into Chaoge seven years ago, he began to lay out the layout.

Although it was a calculation, it was Ji Chang's own choice.

If this Xibohou is really a benevolent person, he will never collude with King Wucheng's family generals to steal the bronze talisman, and he will never use his own relatives, children, and close friends, regardless of their lives, to do it. The matter of escape.

"Your Majesty, please give me the death penalty!" Bigan finally came back to his senses, and knelt down on the ground with a face full of pain.

"Ji Xianbo is not guilty, so how can you die." Di Xin shook his head, "Uncle Wang is the humerus of my great merchant. If you feel guilty, you might as well live a good life, leave it to your useful body, and do your best for the prosperity of the great merchant."

"My lord, my minister..." Bigan broke down in tears, as if everything he knew in the past has changed today.

"Bo Yi Kao is the son of benevolence and filial piety. This trip is tiring, and we will stay in Chaoge for a few days before returning to Xiqi." Di Xin looked at Bo Yi Kao who was still kneeling on the ground.

But this Marquis of Xibo has long been out of his mind and has no energy to thank him.

　Thank you for your ruthless reward, Xie Xie ('ω')!Now the game of Hongchen is almost over, and the immortals are about to make their debut.
