Chapter 734 The Traitor Is in Power
Ji Fa didn't understand, and asked: "Why do you want to deal with You Hun and Fei Zhong? Wouldn't it be better to go to the Prime Minister to do it?"
San Yisheng shook his head, knowing that Ji Fa was still young and did not understand the ways of the world, so he could only explain: "The young master didn't listen to Yi Sheng's words back then, and he was in danger of being killed today. In the past, when the Marquis went to court to sing songs, he performed The innate number, the seven years of calamity, the disaster will be over, and there will be a day of glorious return, and there is no need for anyone to come and pick it up. The words are still in the ears, but His Highness does not listen, which leads to this disaster. What's more, he failed to manage it. Now King Zhou favors Fei, especially The two thieves did not bring gifts to bribe them before leaving, so His Highness was in danger of losing his life. For the current plan, it is better to send an official first to bribe them with heavy bribes, so that they can communicate with each other internally and externally. I beg you sincerely. If a treacherous minister accepts a bribe, he will explain it well in front of King Zhou.
The old king will naturally return to the country. At that time, he will cultivate virtue and practice benevolence. When the evils of Zhou are full, he will meet the princes of the world to fight against the unjust and raise up the people to fight against evil. The world will naturally respond. Get rid of stupidity, and then establish the right way, and people will be convinced. Otherwise, you will achieve defeat in vain, leave a legacy to future generations, and make the world laugh. "
When Ji Fa and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty heard this, they immediately understood. Ji Fa said: "Okay, everything is in accordance with what the doctor said."
That night, San Yisheng ordered the two generals to go to Chaoge with valuable treasures, all of which were delivered to the houses of You Hun and Fei Zhong. With this huge amount of gold, Fei Zhong and You Hun were full of money. Agree to San Yisheng's request.
The next day, Fei Zhong met with You Hun, but they did not mention the bribery they had received the night before. They went to the palace together to meet King Zhou. After meeting King Zhou, the two of them agreed to be Ji Ji. Chang said nice things.
"Jichang eats his own food, and the innate numbers he talks about are all nonsense. How can there be a definite number first?" You Hun said.
Fei Zhong took the opportunity to report: "I have heard that Ji Chang has always been rebellious and disobedient, and I have always been on guard. A few days ago, I went to Youli with my confidants to find out the truth. All the soldiers and people in Youli said that Ji Chang was true and loyal. On the first day of every month, they burned incense and prayed to His Majesty. The country is in good health, the barbarians are in submission, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, the rain is smooth, the people are happy, the country is prosperous, and the palace is quiet. His Majesty has been imprisoned for seven years without a single complaint. According to the wishes of the minister, I think Ji Chang is really a loyal minister."
However, King Zhou smiled and said: "The other day, you said that Ji Chang is 'loyal on the outside but cunning on the inside'. He harbors evil intentions and is not a good person. Why do you say the opposite today?"
Fei Zhong said righteously: "According to people, it is difficult to tell whether Chang is loyal or sycophantic, and you can't tell the difference for a while. Therefore, I secretly sent my confidants to find out the true and false, and then I knew that Chang was a loyal person. As the saying goes, 'the road is far away and you know it.' Horsepower, over time, people's hearts will change.'"
King Zhou looked at You Hun and asked, "What do you think, Doctor You?"
You Hun immediately said: "According to Fei Zhong's report, it's actually not bad. According to what I said, Ji Chang was in poverty for several years and was imprisoned all day long. He trained all the people in Youli and made them feel virtuous and behave in a beautiful manner. The people knew that they were loyal and filial He is honest and does not know what to do wrong, so he calls Ji Chang a saint. He is a kind person every day. When your Majesty asks me, I dare not not answer the truth. Even if Fei Zhong doesn't tell me, I will tell you."
When King Zhou saw that both of them said the same thing, he said, "Since the two ministers have agreed, Ji Chang is a good person after all. I want to pardon Jichang. What do you think of it?"
Fei Zhong said: "I dare not advocate whether Ji Chang can be pardoned or not. But Ji Chang's heart of loyalty and filial piety has been in Youli for a long time without any complaints. If your majesty has mercy and pardons him and returns him to his country, it will be Ji Chang's life after death." , there is a country without a country, and there is no time to express my gratitude to Your Majesty for your kindness in rebirth. I will do the hard work of dogs and horses here, and repay my kindness with virtues worthy of my life. I think Ji Chang will be loyal to Your Majesty in his immortal years."
You Hun saw Fei Zhonglibao from the side, and he must have received a gift from Xiqi. Therefore, how could I just let him have sex? I made Ji Chang even more grateful. You Hun left the mission and said: "Your Majesty's providence has given Ji Chang a pardon and a favor, so he will naturally devote himself to serving the country. Now Dongbohou Jiang Wenhuan has rebelled and attacked Youhun Pass. General Dou Rong has been fighting for seven years, but there is no winner. burden.
Nan Bohou E Shun rebelled and attacked Sanshan Pass. General Deng Jiugong also fought for seven years, killing half of them. There is no peace for the swordsmen, and wars are everywhere. In the foolish opinion of the minister, Ji Chang was granted a royal title, and under the pretense of Bai Yan and Huang Yue, he was able to conquer Xiqi on behalf of the emperor.
Kuang Jichang has always had a reputation as a virtuous man, and all the princes in the world were afraid of him. They made the two groups in the southeast know about him and retreat without fighting. As the saying goes, if you lift one person but don't disrespect him, you will be far away. "
King Zhou was overjoyed when he heard the memorial and said: "You Hun has both talent and intelligence, and is especially cute. Fei Zhong is so good at saving the virtuous, he is really admirable."
After listening to King Zhou's words, Fei Zhongyou smiled in unison. After all, they had successfully completed the matter. Not only did they get the benefits of Xiqi, but they also sold Xibohou's favor. They also killed two birds with one stone. .
In Youli, Ji Chang felt a strange wind coming, and became alert. He quickly took out his money and made a prediction. When he looked overjoyed, he quickly sent people to follow him, packed his luggage, and said that he could return to the West. Disagree.
Those servants all thought that Ji Chang was talking nonsense, but at this moment, an official came and read out the imperial edict of King Zhou, releasing Ji Chang to return to his hometown, and first went to Chaoge Palace to receive the title.
How could Ji Chang dare to neglect him? He even went to Chaoge. After seeing King Zhou, he bowed down and said, "Ji Chang, the sinner, pays homage to your majesty. Long live long live. Long live long live."
King Zhou asked Ji Chang to get up. After all, he had imprisoned Ji Chang for seven years for no reason. King Zhou also felt a little guilty. He even said: "You have been imprisoned in Youli for seven years without any complaints. Instead, you prayed to my country." Zuo is long, seeking peace in the world and happy people. It can be seen that you are loyal, and I have really failed you.
Now I have a special edict to pardon your innocence. After being innocent for seven years, he was still awarded the title of Chief of the Hundred Dukes of Virtue, Loyalty and Filial Piety, and was specially appointed to conquer. I gave you Bai Yan and Huang Yue to take charge of Xiqi. Every month, I will pay you one thousand dan of gold, two civil servants and two generals, and I will send you home with honor. He was still given a banquet at Longde Hall and paraded through the streets for three days. "
Ji Chang thanked him when he was busy.
After the next court, Ji Chang came to Bigan's house, and Huang Feihu also came. The three of them sat together and chatted about state affairs. Suddenly Ji Chang felt a palpitation in his heart. Even if he was busy making predictions, his face suddenly turned pale. Big changes.
"Why does the wise prince's face change so drastically? Now that your majesty has given you a gift, the wise prince should be happy!" Bigan asked doubtfully.
Ji Chang said with a sad face: "The divination shows that early tomorrow morning, His Majesty will take back his life and keep me trapped in Youli. It will take another seven years for me to return to my hometown. Alas, what a trick!"
Suddenly, Bigan and Huang Feihu were shocked. They both knew Ji Chang's calculation ability, so they could not be wrong. However, Huang Feihu made a move, took out his waist card, and said: "Hurry up and take it, Xianhou." Hold on to my belt and get through the five levels overnight, otherwise it will be too late."
