Honghuang: I, Styx, start the reporting system

On the other side, Jiang Ziya, after being swept away by the black wind, was confused as to why such a black wind could actually sweep him away as the Taiyi Golden Immortal.

But after the black wind dissipated, he noticed a familiar Buddha power in it, and then smiled knowingly.

It seems that the master still cares about him, and even specially sent him Chaoge.

Yes, after the black wind dissipated, Jiang Ziya went directly to Chaoge.

He stepped into Chaoge City. As a disciple of Buddhism, he naturally has the light of Buddha, and the entire Dashang respects Buddhism, so he can be said to be the leader in Chaoge City with his powerful Buddha power. Unobstructed.

At this time, in the Chaoge Palace, King Zhou was quarreling fiercely with several courtiers.

"Your Majesty, the annual tribute cannot be increased! Today's tribute is already a very heavy burden for the princes everywhere. If it is increased, I am afraid that the princes everywhere will complain!"

There was a minister who argued with reason.

But what he didn't know was that the situation he was talking about was exactly what King Zhou wanted.

King Zhou's face was full of indifference: "The world is full of loneliness. I just ask them to pay more tribute. If they can't do it, I don't mind replacing some people to take the position of princes!"

It's good to have complaints, it's better to jump out quickly, so that he can catch all the princes with different intentions.

Seeing King Zhou like this, some ministers gritted their teeth and said directly: "Your Majesty! You can't imitate what Xia Jie did back then!"

At that time, Xia Jie was cruel and unkind, and he also oppressed the princes from all over the world. The whole world complained against him, which gave the later Buddhist and Shang tribes a reason to rebel.

This minister mentioned this matter in the hope that King Zhou could learn from history and avoid making the same mistakes again.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said these words, two more people jumped out, pointed at the minister and accused: "How brave! Are you comparing the king to that Xia Jie by saying this? Our king is so wise and powerful, who in the world can Not convinced? Why do you want to compare Xia Jie to the king?"

These two people were Fei Zhong and You Hun, who were well-known as treacherous ministers among big merchants.

To be honest, these two people were able to enter the big merchants and become officials, and they definitely had the ability. It's just that today's big merchants have a rich country and a strong military, and even there are a lot of capable people.

For example, Bigan and Wen Zhong, they can be said to be the two ministers that King Zhou relied on most before he became fatuous.

With the two of them here, the people below are less useful.

Especially when Fei Zhong and You Hun themselves are not that outstanding.

Therefore, the two of them came up with another way to gain power by pleasing King Zhou!

And today's King Zhou also needs people like Fei Zhong and You Hun to say things for him that are inconvenient for him to say.

Just like now.

Seeing what Fei Zhong and You Hun said, the minister was furious and immediately scolded them: "I didn't mean this! Fei Zhong and You Hun, you two maliciously misinterpreted my meaning in front of the king. Why did you do this?" I should be the one to ask you!"

But Fei Zhong turned his eyes and said as if he was avenging King Zhou: "I just can't see Mr. Li slandering the king like this! Think about it, our king has been working hard since he ascended the throne, making the entire Dashang national strength He has become several times stronger. Now he just wants the princes below to be more filial, but you, Mr. Li, are blocking me. You must know that some of the princes below live a much better life than the king. "

"That's right! Is there any reason why the king's life is worse than that of the princes below? They should pay more tribute to the king!" You Hun also said in agreement.

King Zhou above had a flash of light in his eyes.

Indeed, he has been dissatisfied with the luxurious life of these nobles for a long time.

The minister whom Fei Zhong called Lord Li snorted coldly, but did not refute.

After all, what Fei Zhong and You Hun said was not completely unreasonable. As they said, King Zhou had been working very hard since he ascended the throne. Otherwise, they, the ministers, would not have worked so hard to persuade King Zhou after he became fatuous.

They all hope that King Zhou can return to his former state.

If King Zhou just wanted to relax and enjoy life a little, then there was no need for them to stop him.

But now King Zhou has become more serious. If this continues, things may get worse, so they will stand up to stop King Zhou.

Seeing that Mr. Li didn't answer for a while, Fei Zhong and You Hun became even more arrogant, but before they could become arrogant, they saw Wen Zhong glance at them.

Their arrogance suddenly died down.

This Wen Zhong is not a simple human being. He studied under Jingkong, the first outer disciple of Buddhism, and is considered the first outer disciple of Buddhism in three generations.

In addition, he has assisted the Great Shang royal family for a long time, and his position among the Great Shang is very important.

Even King Zhou had to be more respectful to him sometimes. Fei Zhong and You Hun naturally knew that this was a human race that they could not afford to offend.

Seeing Fei Zhong and You Hun retreat under his eyes, Wen Zhong did not care about them. Instead, he took a step forward and said to King Zhou: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Li said is not unreasonable. Although the world is still relatively stable now, But this kind of stability is not long-lasting..."

But before he could finish his words, King Zhou waved his hand and interrupted him: "Okay, Master Wen, there is no need to say more, Gu is determined! If these princes dare to have rebellious thoughts, Gu will let them see me. The iron hoof of Dashang!"

Apart from anything else, King Zhou still had great confidence in Dashang's army!

It is true that no matter who the princes in the world are, their strength alone is definitely not as good as that of Dashang. Even the four major princes can survive for a while in a one-on-one situation.

King Zhou had made up his mind and asked everyone in the court to retreat.

Fei Zhong and Youhun suddenly became proud.

And this kind of complacency made other people very unhappy.

"Grand Master Wen, Master Bigan, this move of the king is really inappropriate!"

After King Zhou dismissed everyone, Master Li did not leave immediately. Instead, he stayed with Wen Zhong, Bigan and others.

Bigan also had a look of hatred on his face. He thought about it carefully and said to Wen Zhong: "Master Wen, you and I are going to see the king together again. This move is really to combine these things." The princes are cornered!"

Although they were acting, they tried their best to make the performance realistic.

For example, Mr. Li in front of him didn't notice any trace of their performance at all.

All I can say is that they are all human beings.

Wen Zhong also sighed, and then said: "That's fine, you and I should take this trip together."

The two of them can be said to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people among big merchants. Wen Zhong is the grand master of Dashang, and Bigan is the uncle of King Zhou. Both of them are very respectable people. If even they can't persuade King Zhou, then Master Li can't think of anyone else who can. Moved.
