Chapter 302 Shang and Zhou Dynasty without Immortals 2
The two looked at each other and knew that there were some things that they couldn't hide.
Wen Zhong sighed and spoke slowly with an ugly expression.
"Over the years, you have been on military expeditions in person, and sometimes you have traveled too far, and there has been no news of your return for half a year.
Naturally, there was some disloyalty in the court. They had great opinions on the old ministers' governance, and they did not rebel directly because they were afraid of King Wu Cheng.
However, one by one they also raised private soldiers in their fiefdoms and planted grain fields.
What was supposed to be handed over to the national treasury was also cut corners and was [-] to [-]% less.When they raise troops, they naturally have to take away the fat and oil from the people.
Therefore, all kinds of visible and miscellaneous taxes appear in endlessly, and they are announced to the world in order to provide you with more food and grass.
The people are miserable, but they think they are working together to fight the enemy for you. It is your order that makes their lives miserable.
Many ordinary people join the army thinking that they are protecting their homes and country, but they do not want to become someone else's private army.The private army has no identity and no return date, so the common people live in empty houses..."
"presumptuous……"
Di Xin slammed the table, he couldn't listen anymore.It turns out that his empire has decayed to this extent?
"Your Majesty, don't be so angry. The general has already listed those chickens and dogs on the list. Now that you are back, you can sit in charge of the song and leave those clowns to the general and Master Wen!"
King Wu Cheng looked murderous. He had been waiting for this day for too long. He wanted to see which princes were more powerful, or his family of generals.
Hearing that the Grand Master sneered, he had taken care of the overall situation in these years, and it was very difficult for him to endure his anger. Now that the king is back, he will naturally kill everyone.
"Hmph! There's no need to bother, Your Majesty, you have just returned to Chaoge, why not let all the princes from the world come to pay homage!
If they dare to come, if they can hand over their military power and territory, their lives may be spared to calm the people's hearts.
As for those who dare not come, King Wu Cheng also has a reason to send troops, so he will not follow the truth. "
"Okay, just listen to the Grand Master! King Wu Cheng, go back to the military camp immediately, reorganize the three armies, and be ready to meet those people at any time to prevent anyone from jumping over the wall in a hurry.
Old Master, thank you very much for sending the order for me, so that all the princes in the world can gather together to sing. "
Emperor Xin didn't want to kill those soldiers who were deceived, so he agreed with Grand Master Wen's idea.
However, the ranks of the princes from all over the world set off from their territories in a mighty manner, but retreated far away from Chaoge.
That Xibohou didn't enter Chaoge at all, he just walked slowly outside the territory and then went back.As a result, when he returned to his territory, he cried and said that his eldest son had been made into meat buns by Di Xin for him to eat!
Xibohou cried for several days and passed away in grief. After his second son carried his father's coffin and buried him, he decided to rise up and issued a proclamation.
This elegant but easy-to-understand statement denounced Emperor Xin's ten major crimes and his debauchery, and promoted Xibo Hou Jichang's love for the people as his son, etc.
The people all over the world were excited, and many people responded and joined the rebel army.
When Di Xin saw the documents being paid, he almost vomited blood. After being speechless for a long time, he finally realized what it means to incriminate someone without excuses.
He couldn't understand how anyone could believe something so ridiculous.But many people believed it.In Chaoge's court, a minister actually pointed at Di Xin's nose and cursed him, asking him to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy.
Emperor Xin had people drag him down, but the upright minister hit the ladder on the steps and died, which became a reason for people to attack Emperor Xin.
"Your Majesty, don't take it to heart. This man is stupid as hell. It is not a pity to die for someone who follows what others say."
Wen Taishi comforted Di Xin softly. Seeing him getting depressed day by day, he felt unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart.
King Wucheng was the first to send troops to meet Xibohou's private army. However, because the number was too different, the people burned their food and grass. King Wucheng Huang Feihu died in the battle.
Wen Zhong personally led the troops to go again, but by this time, Xibohou had already entered several more cities.Because of that appeal, the people loved Ji Fa very much.
The soldiers and horses brought by Wen Zhong were already all the troops left behind in Chaoge. In these years of battles, Emperor Xin had conquered many kingdoms and territories, and those places naturally needed troops to guard.
Therefore, a month later, Di Xin received the news that Wen Zhong had died in battle.
That night, he and the four women in the harem sat on the deer platform and raised their glasses to the distance.
Di Xin's two sons were brought in by the palace servants. Their eyes were also red. Now Chaoge's depressive atmosphere has been felt by the two children.
"I'm afraid Chaoge can't be saved. Empress Jiang, you can take your two children to the East China Sea! The father-in-law should be able to protect you mother and son. They came here for the orphans. If they die alone, they won't hold you too accountable. "
Di Xin gently rubbed the heads of the two children and pushed them to Queen Jiang's side.
"You and I are one husband and wife. If the king doesn't leave, I won't leave either! Let the guards send each other to send the children away!"
Empress Jiang held Di Xin's hand tightly and refused to let go. She and Di Xin had been married for many years and had always respected each other as guests, although there was no passionate love.However, Di Xin gave her all the respect and dignity she deserved.
"My King, you have countless soldiers, why let them rebel? As long as you send the tiger talisman out, strong soldiers and generals will soon come back to help!"
Su Daji was still at an innocent age. She blinked her innocent eyes and looked at Di Xin, wondering why the king didn't summon reinforcements.
Di Xin looked at Su Daji with some shame. This woman was different from the other three in the harem. She was not a political marriage, but a woman he truly loved.
"Silly girl, you don't understand. The reason why they are border troops is to stay there and guard the border. Now that there is civil strife, it is our Central Plains people's own struggle.
Gu's defeat only meant that the Central Plains changed hands into the hands of Ji Faxiao'er. He is a Central Plains person like us and will always treat the people well.
The people today are suffering enough. If we withdraw the border troops, it will be tantamount to opening the country and letting the enemy invaders enter.
Wherever the barbarians passed, they burned, killed, looted, and left no grass growing.Moreover, the territory of the Central Plains will be greatly reduced, and there will be countless innocent casualties.
Therefore, if Gu does not withdraw the border troops, it will only kill a few people like Gu.After the border troops were withdrawn, how many people in the city would die! "
Di Xin sighed, the guilt in his eyes deepened. He could die calmly, but these women and his two sons would be implicated.
"Your Majesty, don't let me go. I'm not going anywhere. I want to stay with your Majesty all the time."
Queen Jiang, Huang Yang, and Su Daji knelt down at the same time.They could see the guilt and determination in Di Xin's eyes, but they were not people who were greedy for life and afraid of death.
The two children also knelt down. Unfortunately, Di Xin didn't give them a chance to speak. He just grabbed them one by one and threw them into the carriage that had been prepared.
