Rebirth of the Great Wilderness, I shall mention it

Chapter 84
Besides, King Zhou was very satisfied after hearing the suggestions of Fei Zhong and You Hun. In the early morning of the next day, after all the civil and military officials arrived in Qi to perform the ceremony, King Zhou said: "Issuing the decree of the widow, promulgating the princes of the four towns. From each town, the widow selected hundreds of beauties from good families, no matter rich or poor, but only with dignified appearance, gentle temperament, leisurely manners, and generosity, to fill the harem."

King Zhou hadn't finished speaking when he saw one of Zuoben's courtiers answering the call, knelt down in the tunnel and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister Shang Rongqi Zou! The king has the way, and if he stops, the people will enjoy their careers. If you don't order it, you will follow it. Today, the beauty in the harem of your majesty , No fewer than a thousand people, concubines and concubines. Now I want to choose a beautiful woman out of thin air, I'm afraid the people will be disappointed!"

King Zhou struggled in his heart for a long time before he said: "What Aiqing said is true, I take it back!"

After King Zhou finished speaking, all the officials shouted together: "Your Majesty is holy."

In the eighth year of King Zhou, the four major princes paid tribute, and all the gifts were piled up outside the Meridian Gate. The attendants reported it, and King Zhou was very happy.According to the orders of the officials of the Yellow Gate, the decree said: "The princes of the four towns of Xuan saw him, and they congratulated him outside the Meridian Gate."King Zhou said: "Qing and others have frightened the Quartet for the widow, and have made great achievements in hard work. The widow is very comforted!"

Dong Bohou said: "I have received the grace of my emperor, and I am the official residence of the four princes. I should serve as the Holy One, so why bother with the sacred heart? I am very grateful!" Di Xin was very happy when he heard the words. He ordered Prime Minister Shang Rong and Ya Bigan to hold a banquet in the Xianqing Hall to entertain the four princes.The four princes quickly kowtowed their heads to thank them.

King Zhou retreated straight to the back hall, and announced Fei Zhong and You Hun here and asked: "Earlier, Aiqing made an idea for the widow, and wanted to order the princes of the four towns in the world to pay tribute to beauties. Let us remonstrate. The princes of the four towns are here today, and they will be called in tomorrow morning, and an order will be issued face to face, ordering the four of them to return to the fief, so that they can choose to contribute, and appoint and remove envoys to go back and forth. What do you two love?"

Fei Zhong leaned over and said, "Previously the king wanted to issue an order to select the most beautiful women in the world, but he was dissuaded by Prime Minister Shang Rong, and His Majesty withdrew the order immediately. This is known to all the world, and if he makes another order now, it may affect His Majesty's reputation among the subjects." Prestige!"

Seeing the change in King Zhou's expression, Fei Zhong quickly continued, "I heard that there is a girl in Yizhou Hou Suhu, who is beautiful and beautiful, quiet and quiet, why don't your majesty order her to be brought to the palace to serve as attendants. Besides, choosing only one woman will not affect His Majesty's prestige among the subjects."

When King Zhou heard this, Longyan said happily: "What Aiqing said is very true." Then he said to his attendants: "I will immediately order Su Hu to come to discuss state affairs."

Su Hu, who was resting in the post house, did not dare to neglect Di Xin's imperial decree. After quickly getting dressed, she followed her attendants to Longde Hall.

After Su Hu stepped forward to salute.King Zhou said: "I heard that Aiqing has a daughter who is virtuous and moderate. I want to choose a servant in the harem, and Qing will be a relative of the state. I will eat her heavenly salary and receive her prominent position. She will live in Jizhou forever, enjoy peace and become famous all over the world. , everyone in the world is envious! How about Aiqing?"

After hearing this, Su Hu said seriously: "In your Majesty's palace, there are concubines on the top and concubines on the bottom, no less than thousands. Isn't coquettish and charming enough to please the king? Why don't you listen to slander and trap your majesty in injustice? The minister's daughter, Puliu, is of weak nature. She has no respect for etiquette and lacks virtue and appearance. I beg your majesty to take back your order and kill the villain who slanders you, so that the world will know that your majesty is upright and self-cultivating, accepts words and listens to advice, and is not a lustful king. , isn’t it beautiful!”

King Zhou laughed and said: "Aiqing, but I don't know the general idea! Since ancient times, whose daughter has not married? Besides, she is a concubine, rich and noble in the world, and Aiqing is also a relative of the emperor. It is a prominent honor, love Qing is a smart person, so he naturally understands how to choose."

After Su Hu heard this, he sternly said unconsciously: "If a ruler cultivates virtue and works diligently, all the people will be pleased with him. The four seas will follow, and Tianlu will die forever. Goods, good deeds, officials, meritorious rewards, lenient and benevolent, can only cut off the righteousness of the summer, and show the faith to the people, which is its prosperity: eternal destiny. Your majesty is not following the ancestors, but following the king of Xia, this is the way to defeat Also! What’s more, if a king loves sex, he will overthrow the country; if a high official loves sex, he will destroy the ancestral temple; If you compare your friends to traitors, how can the world hold back your words? I am afraid that the business, which has been established for more than [-] years, will be defeated by Your Majesty!"

King Zhou was furious when he heard the words: "The king's order is not to wait. The king gives death, and he dare not disobey. Now the widow just wants to recruit your daughter as a concubine, but you dare to disobey it, and say to your face that the widow is the king of the subjugated country. It's disrespectful, someone will take Su Hu down, push him out of the Meridian Gate, and behead him." The attendants on one side immediately took Su Hu down, and they were about to push him out to ask for the beheading.

At this time, Fei Zhong and You Hun came in from outside the hall, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Su Hu should be executed for disobeying His Majesty, but His Majesty beheaded Su Hu because he chose his daughter. If you are a virtuous person, your prestige must have plummeted. It is better to let Su Hu go. In this way, Su Hu will definitely thank His Majesty for not killing him, and will naturally send his daughter to serve His Majesty. The people have heard that His Majesty is magnanimous, and His Majesty's prestige is inevitable. It's soaring. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!"

King Zhou thought for a while when he heard the words, and then said: "Then according to what Aiqing said, release Su Hu and order him to return to his fief immediately and not stay in Chaoge." Leaving North Korea.

When Su Hu returned to the post house, all the family members came forward to meet him and asked, "Your Majesty called the Lord Hou to see you. What do you want to discuss?"

Su Hu heard the words and said angrily: "There is no way to fool the king, he doesn't think about the virtues of the ancestors, he listens to slander, and wants to choose my daughter to enter the palace as a concubine. This must be Fei Zhong and You Hun. I don't listen to the order, I don't know how to speak out, and the foolish king said I was disobedient, so I wanted to beheaded. The two thieves played the foolish king again, and let me go back to the fief. Then the two thieves plotted against each other. I want to hear that the grand master went on an expedition, and the two thieves took power. Seeing that the faint king will be licentious and debauched, the government will be disordered. If you want to send this woman into the palace, you will lose your morals and make the world laugh at me for being unwise. Can the generals teach me a good strategy?"

All the generals heard the words and said in unison: "An old saying goes: If the king is not upright, the ministers will go to foreign countries. Today, the king despises the virtuous and values ​​the color, and sees the confusion. Why don't you sing the court song and defend the country by yourself. You can protect the ancestral temple at the top, and you can protect yourself at the bottom. Home."

Su Hu was in a rage at this time, when she heard this, she didn't feel sexually aroused, and said without thinking carefully, "A real man, don't do things you don't understand!"

After finishing speaking, he called his servants to fetch the four treasures of the study, and wrote a poem on the wall of the Meridian Gate, expressing his intention of never going to business.The poem said: "The emperor destroys the ministers, and there are five constants, Jizhou Suhu, and forever goes to the court and merchants."

Su Hu wrote a poem, and immediately led his family members straight out of Chaoge and headed for Jizhou.

King Zhou was disobeyed by Su Hu. When he was unhappy, he saw the servants of the Meridian Gate entering the hall and leaning over the tunnel, saying: "I am at the Meridian Gate. I saw the sixteen-character anti-poem inscribed by Su Hu of Jizhou on the wall. I dare not neglect it. I still hope that I will give it to you." Your Majesty's Holy Judgment!" Then he handed the poem to the attendant, and the attendant sent it to the imperial case.

After reading it, King Zhou immediately cursed: "It's unreasonable! The widow did not execute him because of the virtue of good life, but let him return to the fief, but he wrote a counter-poem on the Meridian Gate, which greatly insulted the court. amnesty."

Immediately, King Zhou ordered Yin Ruibai, Chao Tian, ​​Lu Xiong...and others to lead the Sixth Division, and wanted to conquer Jizhou by himself.

After a while, Lu Xiong and others knelt down to pay respects.King Zhou said: "Su Hu rebelled and wrote anti-poems on the Meridian Gate. It insulted the court. It is an unforgivable crime! Qing and others first commanded 20 troops as pioneers, and the widow personally led six divisions to question him."

After hearing this, Lu Xiong bowed his head and thought to himself: "Su Hu is a loyal and good man. He has always been loyal and righteous. Why do you disobey him? The emperor wants to drive his own conquest. Jizhou is over!"

Lu Xiong immediately bowed down for Su Hu and said, "Su Hu offended His Majesty, so why bother His Majesty to go on a personal expedition! Besides, the princes of the four major towns are all in the capital and have not yet returned to their fiefs. Your Majesty can order one or two expeditions to capture Su Hu and set him straight. Sin, without losing the prestige of the imperial court, why should the saint drive far to his place?"

King Zhou couldn't help being moved when he heard Lu Xiong's words, and asked: "Which of the four princes can conquer?" Fei Zhong came out of the class and said: "Jizhou is under the Chonghou Tiger in the north, and you can order Chonghou Tiger to conquer."

Lu Xiong thought on the sidelines: "Chonghouhu is a greedy and tyrannical man. He leads troops to fight, and the land he passes will suffer disaster. How can the country be safe? Now Xibo Jichang, benevolent and moral, and faithful, why not Recommend this person? Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds.

King Zhou was about to deliver the decree officially.Lu Xiong hurriedly said: "Although Chonghouhu is in charge of the north, his prestige is not high. I'm afraid this trip may not be able to extend the power of the imperial court. It is better to send Xibo Jichang there. Xibo Hou Jichang spread the word of benevolence. Instead of fighting, capture Su Hu and punish him."

King Zhou thought for a long time, but couldn't make a decision, so he simply played all the songs.He ordered Xibohou and Beibohou to go out at the same time to capture the traitor Su Hu.
