The three sons have all returned to Zhou, and it is only natural for Li Jing to surrender later.

Zhang Guifang was defeated by Xiqi and fell, but he still dragged hundreds of thousands of Shang Dynasty troops to suffer, and he really responded to his destined title on the god list - Mourning Star.

Qinglong Pass lost its troops and lost its generals, and there was no longer the strength to go west, and after the news was transmitted back to Xiqi, Wen Taishi was furious...... Another desk was smashed.

"Jili!"

"The disciple is here!"

"Go and investigate the defeat of Zhang Guifang's army in detail, and order Wuguan to beware of the counterattack of that group of rebellious ministers and thieves!

Although Wen Zhong was angry, he was extremely calm, and sent his disciples to Xiqi to check on him, but he did not directly ask anyone to ask about the guilt, or how.

Recently, there have been repeated setbacks in the use of troops against Xiqi, and there are changes that cannot be grasped by themselves.

Wen Zhongzi is not an ordinary person, he thinks a lot, and he thinks about it carefully, if Xiqi really has a master to help, he can't say, he has to invite a few masters......

"What happened to the four Dao brothers? Why is there no news coming? Could it be that they left the army halfway to have such a fiasco?"

Wen Zhong hurriedly took a hexagram, looking at the hexagram, his expression was relative, and his heart was shocked.

"Pity my four fellow Daoists, they have also become the loyal bones under the Qi Mountain!" Wen Zhong's face was sad, and he raised his head and shouted, "If I don't kill that Ji Fa Xiao'er, I really can't be at peace!

"Yes!" the herald scurried away.

What made Wen Zhong even more strange was that the news that Zhang Guifang had died in battle and that the four immortals who had caused a shock in Chaoge City also died in Xiqi spread throughout Chaoge City almost overnight.

Di Xin also heard the palace people report this, and he was a little panicked in his heart, turned over on the beauties' bed, and summoned the Taishi overnight.

Daji pretended to sleep, and what Di Xin didn't see was that her face was a little complicated.

On the face that overwhelmed the country and the city, and brought disaster to the country and the people, it seemed to shake a little ...... Kick oneself?

In the side hall, Di Xin and Wen Zhong met with Jun Chen, and Di Xin pulled Wen Zhong to sit on the steps in front of the throne and asked about the Xiqi war.

Wen Zhong saw that Di Xin's face was a little withered and his eyes were irritable, so he reluctantly smiled.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, it's my fault. I was wrong about people before, thinking that Zhang Guifang had become famous at a young age, and I never thought it would be so useless. ”

But he didn't even mention the four holy things of Kowloon Island.

Di Xin frowned and said, "Taishi doesn't have to blame himself, Chaoge City is thousands of miles away from Qinglong Pass, and Taishi has been fighting for the widow for many years, and it is understandable that he doesn't know the true face of Guifang." ”

Wen Taishi had to smile bitterly in his heart, looked at Di Xin, and sighed: "Your Majesty, I know that you want to implement a new policy and try to weaken the authority of the princes of all parties. However, if the New Deal is supplemented by torture, it is really the root cause of the chaos in the country. ”

"Didn't the Taishi make a mistake in his advice before, didn't the widow agree?"

Wen Taishi hurriedly asked: "Nadaji, Fei and You, Your Majesty promised to ......"

"Hey, this matter is all slandered by those traitors above the government and the opposition, and I was in a hurry before, and it has nothing to do with them. ”

Di Xin's eyes did not meet Master Wen, perhaps because in front of this teacher who had taught him since childhood, he always couldn't hide something in his heart.

Wen Taishi suddenly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I want to order people to go west again, but because of the previous defeat, I feel uneasy, and I always feel ashamed of Your Majesty, I don't know that Fei Zhong and You Hun two doctors may be a prison army?"

"It's okay," Di Xin agreed without thinking about it, and immediately drew up a will and let Wen Zhong take it back to the Taishi Mansion.

In the Taishi Mansion, after Wen Zhong came back, he sat in the study, not saying a word, until Ji Li's voice sounded outside the door.

"Teacher, I've heard it all. ”

"Come in and tell you," Wen Zhong shouted, throwing the cloth on the table, his smile slightly complicated.

Ji Li was a little puzzled, "Teacher, is this the king's will?"

"Yes, the king's will...... Oh, the will of the King. ”

"Why is the teacher like this?"

"It's okay," Master Wen waved his hand, "tell me what you have discovered." ”

"Yes," Ji Li reported the previous battle in Xiqi to Wen Zhong in its original form.

Yang Jian, the prime minister of Xiqi, Nezha, the pioneer officer, on the day of the war, two more people appeared to help, it was Nezha's brother Jin Zha and Mu Zha, the three brothers each used their own means to bury the four saints of Kowloon Island in Xiqi and send them to the list of gods.

Wen Taishi groaned a few times, "Has Yang Jian ever made a move?"

"It is said that he used a golden whip to beat the head of the high friend to death. ”

"Whip the gods......" Wen Taishi groaned a few times, and when he saw the will on the table, he felt even more ridiculous in his heart.

He took so much pains to support the foundation of the great merchants, but in the end, he had to be calculated by the person he assisted......

"Teacher, what is written in this will?"

"The king asked Fei Zhong and You Hun to be the supervisors, and next time we send troops to conquer Xiqi, these two important ministers of the court will also follow together. ”

Master Wen bit the word 'heavy minister', but his face was gloomy.

"Those two traitors, aren't they traitors who are punished by everyone in the court?

"What do you know," Wen Taishi sighed, "Fei Zhong and You Hun are true ministers, they have no talent to learn, they value money over promises, and they are real villains. But it was these two villains who made the king feel extremely relieved, because they were ugly and despicable, and the king could drive orders at will. ”

"Since His Majesty was young, he said to His Majesty that this is impossible, and that it is immoral, and that it is not the work of the Ming Emperor. ”

"I know better than anyone what kind of character Your Majesty is, and how did he not know that torture would make the whole world fearful? But he sat in that position, for the emperor of the world! The fire that had been held in his heart since he was a child really took advantage of this to ......."

Ji Li was listening to his teacher's words, with mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't help nodding lightly.

"Okay, don't mention these, I'll have a fight with his ministers, and when he calms down, I should give him a stable country. ”

Master Wen perked up and asked Ji Li a few questions, and Ji Li answered them one by one.

Before Zhang Guifang's second western expedition, Deng Chanyu, the daughter of the Deng family who Wen Zhong specially transferred to the west, arrived at Qinglong Pass overnight, holding Wen Zhong's order, but was turned away from the tent.

Ji Li said: "Zhang Guifang's statement at the time seems to be that beautiful women should not be left in the army, lest the soldiers have no intention of fighting to the death." ”

"Incompetent," Wen Zhong scolded, and then asked, "You said earlier that this Deng Chanyu only used more than 10,000 old and weak remnants of soldiers to retreat from the 100,000 Zhou army that came from the surprise attack?"

"Yes, the method used by Deng Chanyu is quite clever......

Ji Li said before and after the process of scaring Deng Chanyu away from Nezha, Wen Zhong stroked his palm and laughed, "This woman is really an expert in using soldiers, and I was not as good as her when I was young! Hahaha! I died of a Gui Fang, but I never thought that I would find such a precious jade!"

"Doesn't the teacher want Deng Chanyu to take over the post of chief soldier of Qinglong Pass?"

"No, her qualifications are still too shallow, let her take her place temporarily, and reward her after making great contributions. Wen Zhong paused, and then said: "This matter is written into the recital and will be sent to the palace tomorrow." ”

Ji Li bowed his head, knowing Wen Zhong's intentions to be so careful.

The more powerful and powerful they are, the more cautious they must be, after all, they are accompanied by an emperor who takes pleasure in killing ministers.

"The prison guard, do you really want those two to do it?"

"Do it, naturally let them do it," Wen Taishi's eyes showed a little murderous intent, "Is there a general in the court who has a corpse vegetarian meal?"

At that moment, Ji Li reported a few names, and Wen Taishi randomly named one person, named Lu Xiong, and asked him to go to Qinglong Pass to pack up the soldiers and horses, take Deng Chanyu as the deputy general, and then cut down Xiqi.

"The two prison guards, Fei Zhong and You Hun, will go with the army at dawn tomorrow. ”

"Teacher, what if the two prison lords don't leave?"

"If you tie them up, you have to pull them out of Chaoge City," Wen Taishi snorted, "You need to remember, don't let them have a chance to face the saint." ”

Ji Li chuckled and nodded, went to Lu Xiong's mansion overnight to announce the decree, and transferred 100,000 soldiers and horses in several important towns along the way, and the general order was stuffed into Lu Xiong's hands, so he took a group of guards to Fei Zhong and You Hun to their respective mansions to kidnap people.

On the street where the dignitaries and nobles gathered in Song City, Ji Li read out the will of Emperor Xin, both before and after, without waiting for Fei Zhong and Fei You to say anything, they directly tied up and gagged their mouths, stuffed them into the carriage, and reported directly to the military camp outside the city.

Originally, from the ministers to the people in Chaoge City, they heard that Fei Zhong and You Hun were tied up by Wen Taishi's soldiers and horses, and they all celebrated each other.

But half a day later, the merchant army was opened, and the two ministers wilted and were generally tied to horses and followed the army, and the news that the two of them were tied up to supervise the army also spread in Chaoge City.

For a while, the people didn't praise it anymore, and most of them said that Wen Taishi didn't argue about loyalty and treachery, and a few who could understand it also knew that Wen Taishi was killing people with a knife.

Fei and You are Di Xin's trusted right-hand men, if they can be eliminated by just stating their crimes in front of Di Xin, why do those ministers who died in the Shang Palace because of this matter not turn a blind eye?

Soon, Lu Xiong led the army west, and the matter of Fei Zhong and You Hun supervising the army reached Yang Jian's ears.

Lu Xiong transferred soldiers and horses from various towns along the road, and walked very slowly.

That Fei Zhong and You Hun are also expensive, the noon sun is too poisonous to rush, too early to get up, too late to fog heavy, easy to make leg diseases...... In short, for all kinds of reasons, he shirked and tried his best to pull Lu Xiong's hind legs, and he really didn't want to go to the battlefield to fight and kill.

They can be extremely popular ministers with their mouths, why do they have to fight to the death?

It's just that these two difficult brothers and sisters were tied up, and they didn't have time to do anything to deal with it, and they couldn't go to the palace to see Di Xin.

If one of them is tied, the other can take care of it, and he will beg for mercy in the palace, and he will go back halfway.

But on the contrary, the two of them wearing a pair of pants were left in the army, and Wen Taishi also sent Ji Li to watch over them, and they couldn't escape.

"These two living treasures," Yang Jian smiled, put the jade talisman on the table, and carefully calculated.

Why did he kill Fei Zhong and You Hun? Wouldn't it be good to keep these two guys back and continue Huo Huo Xiqi?

Well......

If so, it might as well be like this......

A slight smile appeared on the corner of Yang Jian's mouth, obviously having a bold idea again.
