Chapter 470: A disturbance in the harem

Chapter 470: A turmoil occurred in the harem

As the first official of Sitiantai, the first weather forecaster and chief astronomer of the Shang Dynasty, Du Yuanxian, the Grand Tutor of the dynasty, was finally completely angered Emperor Xin because he intended to indecently treat Emperor Xin's good sister, Su Guifei Su Daji, or Jida.

"I'm old, I've stepped into the coffin with one foot, and I still dare to act like a hooligan in front of me. Well, I'm really arrogant and timid. I don't know how the word "death" is written!"

"Besides, even if you are old and not old, you shouldn't be hooligan at Sister Su! If you scare Sister Su, who will raise snakes and catch mice for my family?"

So, in order to kill the chicken and scare the monkey to serve as a warning to the example, Emperor Xin Chongguan was angry and became a beauty. So in the name of a hooligan, he ordered the guards to throw old man Du Yuanxian into the cave of Wanshe.

After this incident, Du Yuanxian won the reputation of being the number one hooligan of the Shang Dynasty at an age of over 70, and Emperor Xin and Jida were also officially confirmed as being a foolish monarch and a witch woman under the guidance of those who are interested.

Faced with Di Xin's white terror, those guys who claimed to be loyal ministers were full of justice, faced difficulties and went on one after another, and wrote letters to ask Di Xin to abolish the demon queen Daji, fill in the cave of Ten Thousand Snakes and stew the snakes inside to eat meat, and abolish the slavery reform, and so on.

What these ministers don’t know is that these old articles are exactly what Emperor Xin refused to compromise.

Therefore, in the court, Emperor Xin always had a flushed face with the ministers, and even when he returned to Shouxian Palace, his anger remained unrest.

Seeing that this good sister, Emperor Xin, seemed to be very angry, Jida persuaded her a few words of advice and then figured out the whole story from Emperor Xin.

Hearing that the court officials also asked to kill him, the witch, Jida instantly rushed to the core of her head with a pink face flushed and her silver teeth bit her, and she thought to herself, "Okay, you servants, I ignore you, but you pour dirty water on me, it's so outrageous! If you don't give you guys who are so idle, look at me, what do you think we women are easy to bully? Humph! I'll let you see what women can do to the sky!"

He is worthy of being an elite spy. Conservatively, Jida's IQ should be more than 200 years old. When he turned his eyes, he had an idea.

But when Jida's body turned, she had already recovered her calm face. Then she opened her mouth slightly and said slowly, "Sister, I think, the last of the Five Emperors, Your Majesty Dayu, are you virtuous?"

"Your Majesty Dayu, although he was the emperor of the previous dynasty, he had calmed down a hundred years of floods and had a life of relic. He was naturally a sage and wise king! Why should I ask more questions from my sister?" Emperor Xin said in surprise.

"Since the time of Emperor Xuanyuan, the so-called abdication system has become a formality. Emperors of all dynasties have generally abdicated the throne to their sons and nephews. When Emperor Yao was the time of Emperor Yao, they abdicated to their son-in-law Yu Shun. After Shun, they abdicated to Yu, who had made contributions in controlling the water and was expected to be the one who hoped to return."

"At that time, another man named Bo Yi, who controlled the flood with Dayu. His contribution was no less than that of King Yu. Bo Yi inherited Yu's throne and was also what everyone expected."

"However, when Dayu was old, in order to allow his son Qi to ascend the throne smoothly, he actually sent his nominal heir Bo Yifa to the remote Dongyi land, but let Qi control all the troops in the imperial capital."

"After Dayu's death, the leaders of each tribe planned to welcome Boyi to the Central Plains to be the emperor. However, Qi launched a rebellion and killed Boyi and all the tribes that supported Boyi in one fell swoop, thus establishing the Xia Dynasty. In this battle, people were killed in the wild and blood flowed. Several royal cities during the time of Yao and Shun were destroyed. Although this matter was initiated by Qi, it was actually planned and arranged by King Yu."

"Now, people all talk about King Yu's goodness, but they are very secretive about his evils. Even Bo Yi's achievements in controlling water have been deliberately downplayed. Why?"

"Well, well, it's because King Yu's goodness is a great kindness. In comparison, such selfish interests are just minor evils! Moreover, since Qi became the emperor, he naturally would not promote the scandal of his father and son. Without deliberately pouring dirty water on Na Boyi, it was already considered that Qi had a broad mind!" Emperor Xin pondered for a moment before answering in a deep voice.

"Sister is very good!" Jida slapped Di Xin's flattery, but she was so happy that she raised her eyebrows slightly and looked proud of her face.

"Isn't it a great act of kindness and kindness to promote slavery now? But those slave owners do not know the current affairs and blindly interfere with others, using small evil to prevent their sister from doing great good, and intend to shake the foundation of the Shang Dynasty forever. It is true that their hearts can be killed!" When he said this, Ji Da's eyebrows were raised and his almond eyes were wide open, as if he was full of righteous indignation.

"In my opinion, my sister will follow the example of the ancient sage, His Majesty Dayu, and use iron-blooded means to shock these illegal elements. As long as Your Majesty can achieve success in reform and benefit the people, who will blame Your Majesty for his small mistakes today?"

"What my sister said is indeed reasonable!" Emperor Xin felt very at ease when he heard this.

Originally, Di Xin planned to forcibly promote slavery reform with iron-blooded means, but although he killed several small slave owners who violated the law and discipline in the past few days, it seems that the effect is not great now, and instead caused the backlash of the stubborn forces in the court, so that Di Xin was very confident about whether the trip could be successful.

Now that he heard Jida use the ancient holy emperor Dayu as an example and compare himself with himself, Emperor Xin immediately strengthened his determination to run to the dark side without hitting the wall.

After making up his mind and taking the reform to the end, Di Xin quickly restored his decisive momentum to the death.

The next morning court, without waiting for the civil and military officials to speak, Emperor Xin directly announced that slavery reform was imperative and no one could object to any reason. At the same time, Emperor Xin also said that Concubine Su’s virtuous and kind behavior has never been inappropriate since entering the palace, and no foreign minister shall arbitrarily criticize or slander. No one who dares to violate the above two articles will be killed without mercy!

The murderous words of Emperor Xin were so scared that his calves were trembling, and his big neck was full of yin energy. All the court officials looked at each other and were frightened.

Several timid people were already silent and swallowed all the words they had prepared back into their stomachs.

However, several officials claimed to be loyal and courageous, and were polite, thinking that this was an excellent time to show that they were not afraid of power. They faced the difficulties, opened their tongues and made generous speeches.

But seeing the senior doctor Mai Yun, Mai Zhi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Su Daji's witch..."

Just as I heard the beginning, Di Xin felt so frustrated, "What's wrong with you, Sister Su? They didn't ask anyone, they raised snakes and rats in the palace every day, eliminated the four evils, and made positive contributions to the stability of river crabs in the Shang Dynasty. Even if there was no credit, they would still have a hard work! Besides, if it weren't for Sister Su, I, well, it was me, how could I sleep peacefully for the whole day? You officials, don't think about how to be loyal to the country, but instead seek trouble for our daughter's family every day, and are not ashamed!"

"Come here!" I felt disgusted in my heart, and Di Xin shouted, interrupting the passionate speech of the two brothers in the Mai family.

Upon hearing this, Yin was defeated, and Lei Kai two thugs led a large number of imperial guards and rushed into Longde Hall.

Di Xin pinched the orchid finger and pointed at the two brothers in the Mai family and shouted, "Take them down for me!"

Although he decided to implement the new policy with iron-blooded means, since Emperor Xin cut off the right and wrong, his personality has become much softer.

Moreover, the court of the Shang Dynasty still needs to be maintained by these court officials. We can't kill everyone, leaving behind Emperor Xin, a bare emperor, right?

So Emperor Xin’s idea was to throw these two guys who were biting people out of the hall first, and he would not be upset if he saw them!

Unexpectedly, I don’t know if I was afraid of being killed by Di Xin during this period, or if I heard Di Xin say that he would push his brother out of the hall, the first thought of the two was, “It’s over, this little life is probably going to be explained today!”

Then, it was furious!

"We brothers are loyal and serve the big business wholeheartedly. Today, I just spoke and said a witch. There are still many lines I prepared below. This tyrant king is going to pull us out to behead our heads. Now it's a big loss! No, even if we die, we have to scold you quickly, at least we must scold you again!"

"You foolish monarch, you listen to the words of the demon woman, change the laws of the ancestors without any reason, destroy Cheng Tang's foundation for five hundred years, kill the scholars and officials for no reason, and create a cave of thousands of snakes to harm the people. It is really unfaithful and unfilial, unkind and unrighteous. A hundred years later, what are you going to meet the ancestors of the Da Shang Dynasty?" As soon as the imperial guards were pressed down, Mai Yun began to roar with his neck and roar.

"It's outrageous!" Di Xin was so angry that his pink face turned red. He slapped the table suddenly, stood up in anger, pointed his slender finger at Mai Yun, his whole body trembling, and his flower branches were trembling.

The other court officials below were stunned when they heard this, "This Mai Yun is too fierce, right? Although we are also cursing Emperor Xin in private, it is just a pleasure to speak in the back! This Mai Yun actually dared to insult the emperor in person. This is really, well, loyal and courageous, and we are not attainable!"

Seeing that his brother had begun to rise, Mai Zhi's courage immediately became stronger. Conservatively, he would be as big as a winter melon after drying it. "You foolish lord, you are actually debauchery, harming loyal and kind for no reason, and slaughtering innocent people. You will definitely not die a good death in the future!"

This guy is even more popular! If Mai Yun's scolding is barely reasonable and well-founded, Mai Zhi's words will basically become a purely evil curse!

So, without any suspense, the Mai brothers successfully aroused Emperor Xin's nameless anger, and, in this moment, they burned more than 30,000 feet high!

"Put these two people out of the Meridian Gate and break into pieces!" Di Xin's pink face was already pitch black, and his silver teeth were creaking, and the sound seemed to be coming from the underground of Jiuyou.

"If I know that one of these two rebel ministers was killed by a few more, it would be ten times more likely to make up for it on you two!" Before Yin Po failed, Lei Kai and the other two intervened to take the order. Emperor Xin had already added miserably, which showed that Emperor Xin was indeed very angry.

"Okay, you don't have to be pretending to be good people this time! You two unlucky guys, just be ready to be killed!" He glanced at Mai Yun, the unlucky guys of Mai Zhi, Yin Pouf, Lei Kai secretly called bad luck, but he did not hesitate, and quickly knocked the two of them out of no way, so as not to make them unlucky again.

The boss had given instructions, and his direct leader had already taken action. The guards in front of the imperial guards rushed forward without hesitation, dragging the two senior doctors Mai Yun and Mai Zhi out without hesitation.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing this, Yafenggan hurriedly left the shift and knelt in front of the jade steps. His mind changed rapidly. How should he plead for these two unlucky doctors?

"Prime Minister Bigan, is it a party with these two rebels?" Before Bigan could think of an excuse, Di Xin directly spoke up for the case, and even beaten them to rebel Bigan.

"Rebel, uh..." Bigan immediately said speechless, but felt a chill of liquid coming out of his forehead. "Rebellion is a serious crime to implicate the nine clans! Even if he is a royal relative, he cannot be exterminated. If this crime is involved, the lightest will be the whole family to be executed! It doesn't matter if he dies. Poor your child, who is not yet an adult, can't be beheaded just like this. So, safety first, let's bear it!"

Old man Shang Rong had long since retired and returned home. Old Master Wen Zhong disappeared, and King Wucheng Huang Feihu also went to the border to fight. Among the remaining officials, Jizi, who seemed to be a little worthy, was a peacemaker who ignored everything.

Therefore, as soon as this Bigan was rejected, the other court officials immediately stopped, lowered their eyebrows and bowed their heads, and acted as a follower.

Even if there were a few seemingly loyal ministers, they didn't want to lose their lives for this inexplicable reason, so they all kept silent and looked down and thoughtful.

After all this trouble, all those who had already written the book were suppressed and were ready to go back and think about it again, so as not to get into Di Xin's bad mood. As for those guys who had planned to find trouble and squirt a few words, they were even more desperate, fearing to follow the old path of the Mai brothers.

So, a good morning court was over, and the two counselors were beheaded and dismembered, and they failed to achieve any substantial results.

In the following period, the slave owners of the capital seemed to be much more honest. Even the newly promulgated slave bill by Emperor Xina was made very popular under the supervision of the imperial guards in the capital, without any discount, and there was a river crab in Xiqi.

However, in this kind of river crab-like atmosphere, there is a seven-point depression and three-point weirdness.

Even this superficial calmness failed to last for a month. Another thing that seemed to be big or small, but it touched the nerves of Chaoge City.

Because, in a village in Chaoge, something serious happened to Queen Jiang's family. A slave was beaten to death by the Jiang family for some reason.

A more bizarre thing, many people testified on the spot, saying that they saw the slaughtering slaves with their own eyes, but the slaughter manager of the Jiang family did not do anything to cover up afterwards, but instead left so loudly, as if they never knew that this was a very serious matter. Even when the Imperial Guards came to arrest people after receiving the letter, the slaughter manager was unaware of it, and it seemed that they could no longer remember such a thing.

What's even more fantastic is that when the supervisory officials opened the court to investigate the case, the guy suddenly became awake and admitted quite toughly that I was beaten to death by this slave. However, this matter was ordered by the Queen himself. What can you do to me?

"What's wrong! How could the Queen's family have such a stupid manager? She actually committed crimes against the wind and dared to confess her guilt. Isn't this obvious, is she sing a drama against His Majesty Zixin? If there is a conspiracy, there will definitely be a conspiracy!"

This supervisor was not a fool. He knew that such things that seemed to involve the struggle between senior officials were definitely not something like him who could join in random fish and shrimps. So he quickly reported the matter in its original form and gave a detailed description of the doubts, but did not dare to add any subjective assumptions.

Let me briefly talk about the control of the emperors in the Shang Dynasty. One is the inner court government officials, mainly the "Zao" and "Sin". They are mostly the royal direct ministers, mostly slaves. Their duties are to manage the fields and houses for the emperor, and they belong to the emperor's private officials; the other is the outer court government officials, which are generally ministers, including "Yin" (similar to the prime minister, such as Yi Yin, whose surname is Yi, and his official positions are "Yin"), witches, historians, music officials, work officials, and military officials, as well as Ya, She, Dog, and Shou.

Among the foreign officials, there is another type of envoy, including officials, imperial officials, superior officials, etc.

The current supervisor is a newly established official position by Emperor Xin to supervise the implementation of the slave reform bill, which is specifically responsible for supervising the various problems that arise during the slavery reform process.

These imperial officials were probably the confidants whom Emperor Xin had drawn from the inner court. Although they were from slaves, their talents were not very high, but their ability to observe words and expressions was quite good, and they were also loyal to Emperor Xin. Moreover, they were sincerely grateful to Emperor Xin for implementing this bill aimed at improving the survival of slaves. Therefore, the slaves were still very serious about the work of supervising the imperial officials.

Such a report was handed over to Di Xin's desk, and Di Xin immediately discovered the suspicion. So Di Xin quickly called Queen Jiang to come to the imperial court to confront him on the spot.

He was having a chat with Concubine Huang and Concubine Yang in the three palaces and was talking about his sisterly friendship. Suddenly, he heard Emperor Xin summons him, but he just tidied up his makeup and rushed over.

When Emperor Xin asked why he ordered the housekeeper to kill the slave at will, Empress Jiang immediately looked confused, "Where is this? I am busy managing the palace, and I have to take time to contact other concubines. How can I have time to care about small things like slaves?"

Empress Jiang said she didn't know, but Di Xin didn't doubt it much, but she still had to leave this form, so she also passed the legendary Jiang family manager to the imperial court to confront him, but she did not expect that it led to a series of accidents.
