White Lotus Enlightenment in the Ancient World
Chapter 196 The emperor is rude
King Zhou has not calmed down since returning to Nuwa Palace. Although he is a little rude, he is not in love with a statue, so he has been thinking about the matter of accepting a concubine these days.
It's just that he can't say this kind of thing by himself. Someone has to give him a step up, otherwise his reputation as a coward will be firmly established.
"Go and call your two beloved ladies, Fei Zhong and Youhun."
The palace official immediately took the order and ordered the guards to go to the two adults' houses to announce the summons.
Although Fei Zhong and Youhun's official positions are not high, they are popular people in the eyes of King Zhou. The mansion is naturally the closest to the palace, and they arrived without half a stick of incense.
"See Your Majesty!"
"No need to be polite, did you see the poem written by Nuwa Palace that day?"
Upon hearing this, the two people quickly smiled in admiration.
"Your Majesty's literary talent is so great that he really captured the beauty of Nuwa! The two of us have copied the poems and kept them in our mansion. We often take them to look at."
King Zhou couldn't help but nod and smile when he heard this. He knew that the two of them were exaggerating, but everyone was willing to listen to good words, and after hearing it too much, he unconsciously felt that it was the truth.
"Oh, it's a pity that Nuwa is a cold statue and can't come to Chaoge to accompany the lonely king!"
Fortunately, this was said in private, otherwise if Nuwa had heard it, she would have braved the disapproval of the world and come to kill this official.
But Fei Zhong and the other two smiled happily when they heard this, and directly gave King Zhou a step forward.
"Why do you have to worry about this, Your Majesty? If you, Your Majesty, are rich all over the world, why don't you pass down an imperial edict and order all the princes to donate beautiful women to enrich the harem."
You Hun next to you is even more exploitative.
"There are only three empresses in your majesty's harem, and no heirs have been born in recent years. The princes should have presented beautiful women long ago. This means that your majesty is honest and loves the people. Otherwise, those people will be guilty of deceiving the emperor!"
"Hahaha, that's wonderful!"
King Zhou couldn't help laughing, and immediately asked his servants to select treasures and give them to the two of them.
On the morning of the second day, King Zhou came to the palace early. After the ministers arrived, he glanced at them briefly. Fei and Zhong immediately came out to start the performance and told all the matters about the concubine.
I thought this matter was rare and ordinary, but Shang Rong still tried his best to persuade King Zhou to be diligent and thrifty and love the people. Such things that wasted the people and cost money must never be passed on.
Several other veterans also tried their best to dissuade him. In the end, the court broke up unhappy and King Zhou returned to his palace with an angry look on his face.
Fei Zhongyouhun, who followed, was also a little embarrassed. Although they were favored, their status and qualifications were not as good as those of veterans like Shang Rong. They were silenced after a few words.
At this time, Youhun rolled his eyes and had another bad idea.
"Your Majesty, since the old prime minister feels that it is a waste of money and people, we might as well take one or two of them. In this case, the old prime minister can't say anything."
King Zhou frowned slightly: "This method is feasible, but where can I find it?"
Fei Zhong on the side quickly spoke.
"Your Majesty, I don't know. It is said that Jizhou Hou Su's mother-in-law has a daughter who is extremely beautiful. In my opinion, she is as beautiful as the Nuwa Empress. Why don't your Majesty call her to come to the palace and become your concubine?"
"Is this really true? The lonely king immediately prepared a decree and summoned him!"
King Zhou was so dazzled by beauty that he directly wrote an edict announcing that Su Hu would come to court and pay homage to him, regardless of the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers.
Fortunately, this was also the time when the princes from all over the world came to report their duties and pay tribute, so it was not unexpected, so the letter was sent to Jizhou as quickly as possible.
All of this was seen by Bai Yi. She turned her eyes and followed the messenger to Jizhou.
Jizhou is located to the south of Dashang. It was dominated by a small country in its early years. It was only later included in the territory of the Yellow Emperor's southern expedition that Su Hu is now a prince of this generation.
After receiving the order, Su Hu had no doubt that he was there, so he immediately packed his bags and headed to Chaoge with the offerings he had made in recent years.
Of course he would not bring a delicate little girl with him on this trip. Apart from him, he only brought some soldiers to escort the treasure, and the journey was faster.
When we arrived at Chaoge City, we saw that the city gate was wide open, and countless princes were rushing to leave. The scene was quite lively.
Su Hu's men were relatively strong, and their territory was slightly larger, so these princes greeted each other politely, and there was no absurd provocation or disobedience.
When all the treasures were handed over to the king, the chamberlain in the palace came to summon Su Hu to the palace for an audience.
The palace man was full of smiles, which made people's scalp numb.
"Master Marquis, there is no need to panic. Your Majesty just wants to catch up on old times."
As a minister, Su Hu could only accept the order even though he had doubts in his heart. But how could he and King Zhou have anything to talk about? When the throne changed hands, he did not come to watch the ceremony.
When Su Hu followed the palace people to the inner courtyard of the palace, without raising his head to look at him, he knelt on one knee and called the king.
Now King Zhou was asking for help, but he would not be tough on others. When he saw the people arriving, he immediately asked the palace officials to put down their seats and invite Su Hu to take a seat.
"Hahaha, my dear, with your radiant face, the weather in the fief must be smooth, and the country and the people are safe!"
"I don't dare. Your Majesty has done great service in governing the country."
Su Hu looked respectful, but in his heart there was some contempt. This king was not as wise as Emperor Yi, and he had heard about the obscene poems he had written some time ago.
But King Zhou didn't know his disdain, and still asked about the situation in Jizhou in a flamboyant tone. Fei Zhongyouhun, who was accompanying him, also made jokes and brought the topic to Daji little by little.
"I heard that the Marquis has a daughter. It is said that she is beautiful and fragrant!"
When Su Hu heard this, he suddenly had a thought in his heart. What did he mean by this?
"Well……"
Before he could ask Fei Zhong, he directly pointed out King Zhou's intentions.
"Since the Marquis is the pillar of the country, his daughter must also be virtuous and virtuous. Why don't the Marquis marry His Majesty so that we can get closer and closer in the future?"
"How can this be done!"
When Su Hu heard this, he couldn't help but became furious. He thought that the Su family had become a great merchant prince by virtue of their military exploits. How could they seek wealth by donating their daughters? If that were the case, wouldn't he have become a nepotistic official?
Thinking of this, he actually ignored King Zhou's situation and walked away directly, making Fei and Zhong blush.
King Zhou didn't say anything when he saw this. He also disliked Fei and Zhong for being too impatient and scaring away his father-in-law.
Fei and Zhong could only apologize hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I think Su Hu must have a low reputation. I'll be sure to succeed if I give you some careful advice!"
"That's fine, but don't scare the father-in-law again."
King Zhou didn't care at all and directly appointed Su Hu as the head of the country, and Fei Zhong and his two brothers also hurried out to stop Su Hu.
When the two of them arrived outside the Wuchao Gate, they saw Su Hu holding an imperial pen and writing something on the doorpost.
"Why do these adults like to write poetry?"
"Stop talking nonsense, go and invite the people back!"
Fei Zhong kicked You Hun, and then hurriedly stepped forward to apologize.
"Master Hou! Master Hou, forgive me..."
When he came closer and saw the verses written on the pillars, he froze on the spot. Half of the words got stuck in his throat and almost choked him to death!
I saw an angry message written on the red painted pillar:
If the king breaks the rules of his ministers, he will defeat the five permanent members.
Jizhou Su Hu will never go to Shang Dynasty!
After Su Hu finished writing a few words, he put down the imperial pen with a wave of his hand and walked out of the imperial city in a few steps!
The remaining two people, Fei Zhong and others, were dumbfounded. Could it be that Su Hu wanted to rebel? ?
At the stall where everyone was stunned, King Zhou saw a few people not returning and walked out by himself. When he saw the ink on the pillars was still wet, Long Yan couldn't help but became furious!
"Who is so bold! Aren't you afraid that the whole family will be killed and the nine clans will be wiped out!"
Seeing that King Zhou was angry, Fei and Zhong, who were far away, ran up to them, kowtowed and shouted!
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. That Su Hu didn't listen to the dissuasion. He wrote the anti-poetry and fled the imperial city directly!"
Upon hearing this, King Zhou was furious and even the beard under his lips trembled!
"What a Su Hu! Why don't you send people to arrest him quickly?"
