Chapter 723: The Appearance of a Country, the Heart of a Snake [5th Update, Please Vote for Me]

Five or six days later, the snakes had been handed over, and the snake collector went to Zhaixing Tower to give his order: "All the people in the capital have finished handing over the snakes. I will return my order."

When King Zhou heard this, he said to Daji in his arms: "The snake in the pit is over. What should my beloved concubine do next?"

Daji smiled charmingly, hammered King Zhou's chest with her pink fist, and said sweetly: "Your Majesty has decreed that those who have not been in the palace for the past few days can take off their clothes, tie their backs with ropes, and push them down the pit. In the middle, feed this snake and scorpion. This way, you can kill him as a warning to others. No one in the palace will dare to be disrespectful to Your Majesty in the future."

King Zhou was overjoyed when he heard this. He touched Daji's body hard and said, "This punishment set by my beloved concubine is really an important way to eliminate adultery."

He said to the Feng Yuguan on the side: "After the snake has finished eating, I ordered the Feng Yuguan to tie out all the sinners who are not visiting the palace, and then push them down into the basin."

After receiving the order from the imperial officer, he immediately tied the palace people to the edge of the pit. When the palace man saw the snake, he raised his head and stuck out his tongue. It looked evil and ugly, and the seventy-two palace men cried out in unison. Before they even got into the pit, they screamed one by one. After all, there were so many snakes, but they looked extremely terrifying.

That day, the doctor Jiao Ke was in the library and inquired about this matter day by day. He only heard a burst of tragic sounds. Then he left the clerk's room and saw the palace official hurriedly reporting: "Master Qi! The day before yesterday, the emperor took snakes and put them in a pit. Today, he skinned seventy-two palace people naked into the pit and fed them to the snakes and scorpions. I heard the truth from my humble position. , come and report.”

Upon hearing this, Jiao Ke, the senior official, was very angry. He walked into the inner court, passed the Longde Hall, entered the branch palace building, and walked to the Zhaixing Tower. He saw all the palace people naked and tied on their backs, with tears streaming down their faces, and wailing in distress. , it’s horrible to see.

Jiao Ke, the superior doctor, shouted loudly: "How can there be such a punishment! Jiao Ke has a book to start with!"

King Zhou was about to watch poisonous snakes bite the palace palace people for fun, but he heard the senior official Jiao Ge starting to play.

Jiao Ke saw the palace men being tied up and about to retreat into the pit, and said sternly: "I have no other reason to do it, because I saw that your Majesty's torture was cruel, the people were tortured, the monarch and his ministers were separated, and there was no communication between superiors and subordinates. The universe It has become a sign of being blocked. Now that your Majesty is using such unfair punishments, what crime will be committed by the palace people! Yesterday, I saw all the people handing over snakes and scorpions, and everyone complained.

Droughts are common today, and people are living a hundred miles away from buying snakes. I heard that if the people are poor, they will become thieves, and if thieves gather together, there will be chaos. What's more, there are wars abroad, the princes are rebelling, and there is no Ningyu in the southeast and two places. The people are thinking about chaos, and swords and soldiers are everywhere.

Your Majesty does not practice benevolent government, but commits tyranny every day. This has never been seen since Pangu. Why is this punishment called? Made by that generation of kings? "

King Zhou frowned. Although there was anger in his heart, the official Jiao Ge had made great contributions to the Shang Dynasty and should not be underestimated. He said: "The cheating of the palace people cannot be eliminated and often continues, so this punishment is named. Said: '迿 basin'."

When Jiao Ke heard this, he could not remain calm and said immediately: "Human limbs are nothing but skin and flesh. Although they are high or low, they are always one body. When people are trapped in pits, they will be eaten by poisonous snakes, causing pain and sorrow. Your Majesty looks at it, How can his heart bear it, and how happy his holy will be. All the people in Kuang Palace are women. They serve His Majesty on the left and right in the Palace day and night. They are just slaves. What is the big mistake that led to such a cruel punishment? I hope Your Majesty will have mercy on the palace people. Your Majesty is truly mighty. The grace of God embodies the virtue of good life."

"Your advice seems to be reasonable. But if the troubles in the elbows and armpits are not noticed in time, how can they be cured with hasty punishment? Moreover, these palace ladies are plotting dangers. Otherwise, they may not be able to kill one as a warning to others."

"The king is the leader of his ministers, and the ministers are his subordinates. Today, your majesty has the heart to lose his virtue, refuses to listen to his ministers, and acts cruelly and recklessly. He has no conscience and makes all the princes in the world bear grudges. Dongbohou was innocently killed, and Nanbohou was humiliated. The song of death was heard, and the remonstrating officer was burnt with fire; now the innocent palace eunuch is thrown into the grass basin again.

Your Majesty only enjoys himself in the deep palace, listens to traitorous ministers, indulges in debauchery and drunkenness. It is like contracting a serious disease and relapsing without knowing when it will occur. As the saying goes, once a big carbuncle breaks out, life will follow.

Your Majesty did not think twice, he only indulged in his desires and failed, and did not think about how the country could be as safe as a rock. It is a pity that the former king was diligent and thrifty, respected God and feared fate, so that he could maintain peace in the country and the Huayi led the way. Your Majesty should change your evil ways and do good, be close to the virtuous and far away from the beautiful, quit the sycophants and become loyal, so that the common people and society can be protected, the country will be peaceful and the people are safe, and the people will be very happy.

The ministers and others are worried day and night, and cannot bear to let Your Majesty fall into darkness. The people are alienated from their morality, and disasters are unpredictable. The so-called Sheji Ancestral Temple does not belong to Your Majesty. How can I bear to speak so profoundly? I hope that your majesty will put your ancestors and the world first, and you will not listen to the words of the maid and undermine your loyalty and advice. All the people are very lucky! "

After hearing the long speech of the doctor Jiao Ge, King Zhou suddenly felt angry in his heart. He originally wanted not to argue with him, but he didn't expect that King Zhou could no longer tolerate such ungrateful behavior.

"Bold traitor! You dare to insult the Holy King like this. You will not be forgiven!" King Zhou immediately called to the people around him: "I will skin this man clean and send him to the basin to rectify the law of the country!"

After listening to King Zhou's words, the soldiers wanted to come and take it, but Jiao Ge shouted: "The ignorant king is unethical and kills his remonstrating ministers. This is a serious disaster for the country. I can't bear to see it become a soup for hundreds of years. Once the world is given to others, even if I die, I will not give it to others." Close your eyes. Besides, I am here to pay my respects to you, so why should I enter the bastard basin?"

Pointing his finger at King Zhou, he cursed loudly: "Foolish king! Such cruelty will eventually follow the words of Xibohou!" After the doctor finished speaking, Wangzhaixing jumped downstairs, fell to the point where his brain matter burst out, and he died unexpectedly.

There are poems to prove it: He was so loyal and worried about the country that he crashed down from the Star-Zhailing Tower. If I had known that the days would come to an end, it would be a pity to sacrifice my life and shed blood.

Jiao Ke fell from the building and was shattered to pieces. When King Zhou saw it, he was even more furious, and he took it as a decree: "Push the palace maid into the basin and feed the snakes and scorpions together with Jiao Ge!"

The seventy-two palace servants pitied themselves and shouted in unison: "Emperor, Empress, Tu, we have done nothing wrong, so we are subjected to this cruel punishment! Daji bitch! We cannot eat your flesh while we are alive, and we will eat your ghosts after death!" "

King Zhou saw the palace official falling into the pit. The hungry snake coiled around the official, biting the skin and burrowing into the abdomen, causing great pain.

But Daji smiled charmingly, which immediately made the scenery of heaven and earth lose its brilliance. Her stunning appearance and the spring water in her eyes made King Zhou burn with desire.

"Without this punishment, how could the serious trouble in the palace be eliminated!" Daji said softly.

King Zhou brushed Daji's back with his hand, and couldn't help but put his hand in, saying: "My beloved concubine's magic is so wonderful!"

The next day, the news about becoming a doctor reached the ears of Shang Rong, Bigan, Huang Feihu and others. Immediately, they were furious and went to the palace to meet the emperor. However, King Zhou claimed that he was physically handicapped. Because of this, he refused their visit,

After all, these people were all ministers of the Shang Dynasty. Together, they were very powerful. They could not be killed with just a word. King Zhou also understood this. Besides, he had no time to meet them.

King Zhou was still thinking about going to Wushan Yunyu with Daji, so how could he waste his time on those ministers?
