Thanks: Brother ‘08a’ for the reward, thank you Xia Tian.

When the 'white lady' left with the demon fox, all the civil and military officials and the princes of the world could not help but sigh, feeling that what they had just experienced was like a dream.

'Huang Shaohong' gave the order to start the banquet. One by one, the palace maids and chamberlains brought wine and food to the seats in the palace. When the food and wine were almost served, he raised the wine bottle and saluted to the side of the princes:

"You all serve as my great merchants and pastors. You have worked hard and made great achievements. You are all my pillars. I am here to toast you all!"

Upon hearing this, all civil and military officials in the dynasty picked up their wine bottles and, together with King Zhou, made toasts to the princes.

The princes of the world did not dare to neglect, and the King of People proposed a toast. Even the Marquis of Xibo and Jizhou, who had ulterior motives, all raised their wine bottles together with the other princes and drank them all in one gulp with "Huang Shaohong".

‘Huang Shaohong’ put down his wine bottle and saw that everyone was drinking. He suddenly smiled at the princes and said:

"Aren't you afraid that I will poison this wine?"

In an instant, many princes became furious, and some princes even knocked over the food and wine on the table because of their excitement.

Xibohou ‘Jichang’ said:

"Your Majesty is joking. Your Majesty civilizes the world with your bravery. He replaces beams with pillars and drags nine oxen backwards. He has the courage that ten thousand people cannot match, and the power of thousands of armies to overcome changes. With such martial arts, how can he do such a small thing!"

"Besides, Your Majesty has already explained our merits. We, Wang Mu, are guarding one side. How can Your Majesty be inconsistent with what he says and murder the meritorious officials regardless of right or wrong? With Your Majesty's benevolence, you will not act like this!"

After 'Jichang' finished speaking, he filled himself a glass of wine, then picked up the wine bottle, signaled to the princes of the world, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and then said to 'Huang Shaohong':

"Your Majesty, I trust you!"

After saying that, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

When the other princes saw it, they all nodded, saying that what Xibohou said was reasonable. Some even imitated "Ji Chang" and filled the wine bottle, then drank the wine from the cup, and finally said: "I trust your majesty!"

'Huang Shaohong' has a great heart. This 'Ji Chang' first praised 'King Zhou' for his bravery, and then echoed what 'King Zhou' said before, confirming that he was a hero.

The last sentence, "I trust your Majesty", if "Huang Shaohong", the "King Zhou", was not the spirit of time travel, I am afraid that Longyan would be so happy that he would feel a confidant.

Forget about the words "Chang Dang Xing".

‘Huang Shaohong’ looked at ‘Ji Chang’, who had a calm face and a calm expression, and what he thought in his heart, in the words of later generations, was, ‘I believe you, you are a bad old man, you are very bad’!

At this time, Dong Bohou ‘Jiang Huanchu’ cupped his hands and said:

"I dare to ask your Majesty, the generals and ministers have traveled thousands of miles to summon Chao Ge. I wonder if there is anything you need to discuss with them?"

In fact, all the princes in the world have this kind of doubt, but no one dares to ask. Only 'Jiang Huanchu', who is the head of the princes in the world and the current head of state, dares to ask bluntly.

Speaking of which, there are many princes in the world who are well versed in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, such as "Ji Chang". If it were not for "Huang Shaohong" to fight for his love, he would have married children with the Prime Minister "Shang Rong", and so on, there are too many to mention.

Therefore, after these princes entered the court and waited for the king to receive him, they also used their own channels to inquire from the officials of the court about the purpose of the king summoning all the princes to attend the court, but found nothing.

The few important ministers who guessed Huang Shaohong's real intention, such as Shang Rong, Bigan, Jiang Ziya, etc., were loyal and kept their mouths shut.

Therefore, these princes still don't know why King Shang asked him to come to Chaoge, so they are all worried.

At this time, upon hearing the question from 'Jiang Huanchu', they all looked towards 'Huang Shaohong', waiting for the king's reply.

‘Huang Shaohong’ was actually about to talk about this topic and immediately smiled and said:

"Actually, it's nothing. I'm just worried that you will rebel..."

'King Zhou' made a surprising statement for the second time. Just now he said that he had poisoned the wine, but now he directly stated that he was worried about the rebellion of the princes.

With one sentence, the expressions of all the princes in the world changed again. Among the thousands of princes, more than half stood up and knelt behind the table, kowtow to 'Huang Shaohong', and expressed their loyalty. Among them, Xibohou 'Ji Chang' showed the most excitement.

.

‘Huang Shaohong’ sneered in his heart, Best Actor, if he hadn’t known that this old man had ulterior motives, he might have thought that he was a loyal minister.

The Marquis of Jizhou, Su Hu, was not as excited as those princes, and just said lightly:

"If Your Majesty governs the world with benevolence and virtue, and everyone in the world is grateful and his kindness is respected, who will dare to rebel?"

Although this is not stated explicitly, it seems to be saying that 'King Zhou' has a guilty conscience for being a thief, but he is unkind, so he has such concerns.

'Huang Shaohong' sneered in his heart, Jizhou Hou's words seemed reasonable, but in fact they were all bullshit. The benevolent emperors of ancient and modern times were the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, that is, none could surpass these holy kings.

Among them, 'Emperor Shun' is known as the originator of Chinese moral culture. His advocacy of 'morality first, emphasis on education' was an important driving force in pushing the human race from barbarism to civilization. "Historical Records" praised him: "Everyone in the world is virtuous and virtuous."

Since Yu and Shun."

In addition, "Emperor Shun" is also the protagonist of "Filial Piety Moves Heaven" in the Twenty-Four Filial Piety.

Such a "benevolent model, the originator of virtue", a generation of human kings who pioneered benevolent governance, may actually have ascended to the throne of human kings only after rebelling and usurping the throne, and was not an abdication that people know.

This is not the author's nonsense. There is a chronological general history that is the only surviving one in history that has not been burned by the Qin Dynasty. It is called "Chronicles of Bamboo Books". This book is more authoritative than "Historical Records" in terms of ancient history. Among them are

It records the inheritance of the throne of the three kings Yao, Shun and Yu.

It clearly states: "Shun imprisoned Yao in Pingyang and took the throne. He then killed Danzhu again so that he would never see his father again."

This means that 'Shun' imprisoned 'Emperor Yao' in Pingyang, replaced him, and prevented 'Emperor Yao' from seeing his son.

"Xunzi·Zhenglun" said: "The husband said that Yao and Shun abdicated, which is just empty words, a superficial biography, and a crude theory!"

It means that some people say that Emperor Yao abdicated the throne of the human king to Shun. This is false, and it is spread by shallow people and said by despicable people.

'Han Feizi' put it more straightforwardly. He said in "Han Feizi's Suspicion": "Shun forced Yao, Yu forced Shun, Tang suppressed Jie, and King Wu defeated Zhou. These four kings are also the ones whose ministers killed their kings...

....”

This statement not only said that 'Emperor Shun' was in an improper position, but also clearly stated that the same was true for 'King Yu'. It also said that 'Shang Tang' exiled 'Xia Jie' and 'King Wu attacked Zhou' were all regicides by ministers.

Both Yao and Shun were one of the Five Emperors, recognized as benevolent and sage kings throughout the ages. But so what, one was rebelled against by his successor, and the other rebelled against the throne and was also overthrown by his successor.

This fully shows that whether the ministers will rebel or be overthrown from the throne has little to do with ruling the world with benevolence and morality. Those who have rebellious intentions will still rebel if they should. What matters is the king's strength and means, whether they can deter them.

Live with people who have ulterior motives.

That’s why ‘Huang Shaohong’ treats ‘Su Hu’s words as bullshit.

He just smiled and said lightly:

"Whether I am benevolent or not will be left to future generations to comment on. At least the merits sent from heaven cannot be faked. Thousands of catties of grain per acre came from my generation. This... is benevolent. Do you think so?"

When he asked this question, only a few of the princes agreed, and most of them did not say a word, because they had not seen it with their own eyes, and most of them still had doubts about the merits sent from heaven, such as a thousand catties of crops per mu, and only the civil and military officials of the court nodded.

Say so and sing praises.

‘Huang Shaohong’ waved his hand and sighed:

"Although I am so benevolent, I am still worried that the princes in the world will rebel against me, so I summoned them to Chaoge to discuss this matter..."

'Jiang Huanchu' said thoughtfully: "I wonder what your Majesty's plan is?"

The princes present and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all focused their attention on 'King Zhou', waiting for 'Huang Shaohong''s reply.

‘Huang Shaohong’ took a sip of wine, played with the wine bottle in his hand, and said with a half-smile:

"How about this, all the princes come to live in Chaoge. I will give you good land and beautiful houses to ensure your prosperity and wealth. Your descendants can also inherit the title. As long as you are loyal to the court, you will be prosperous for generations to come!"

"As for the princes' fiefdoms, you can leave a little bit of it. I will send officials to help guard it. From now on, this will be the norm. When the time comes, there will be no suspicion between the monarch and his ministers, and we will be in peace. Isn't it wonderful?"

The meaning of "Huang Shaohong" is to let all these princes move their families to Chaoge, leaving only the youngest son to inherit the title and be the owner of the fief in name. In fact, the military and political power is in the hands of the officials he dispatches.

'Huang Shaohong' summoned the princes from all over the world to come together to sing the song, and what he had to do was to imitate 'Song Taizu''s trick of releasing military power by drinking a glass of wine. In this way, although it was still a feudal system in name, in fact he, the human king, had gathered all the rights of the human race.

in hand.

"I object!"

While 'Huang Shaohong' was waiting for the princes' replies, a prince who was not very high in rank suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.

What is surprising is that this prince turned out to be an old woman. This old woman has a sinister appearance, not a kind person, and her clothes are different from those in Central Plains China.

It is not surprising that women became princes. After all, during this time period, there were still many remote tribes in the matrilineal clan period.

For some reason, when Huang Shaohong saw this person, he felt unhappy in his heart and frowned, "Who is this?"

The 'housekeeper' on the side bowed and said: "Reporting to your majesty, this old woman is from the Yizhou Tuhou, Mei Ruying!"

"oh......"

‘Huang Shaohong’ was suddenly stunned and suddenly struck the case:

"In this tiny little land of Yizhou, a local warrior has rebelled against my will. If someone comes, pull this local warrior out and kill him with a stick. His corpse will be exposed for three days to serve as a warning to others!"

The next moment, two warriors in front of the palace, who were like wolves and tigers, rushed over and dragged the native "Mei Ruying" out like a chicken.

'Mei Yanying' just heard that her rights were going to be taken back by the 'King', and in desperation, she jumped out without thinking much about the consequences.

At this time, he came to his senses and cried out: "Your Majesty, spare my life, Your Majesty, spare your life, I am willing to move to Chaoge and accept the arrangements of the court!"

‘Huang Shaohong’ sneered:

"You are so shameless, why did you go there earlier? Now that I am disgusted by you, how can I let you live in Chaoge? Besides, it would be a pity if a few people died because of your disgust. It would be better to kill you as early as possible."

That way we can prevent that tragedy from happening!”

When 'Mei Yanying' was dragged to the entrance of the main hall, she probably knew she would not survive. Her legs were twitching and unidentified liquid was leaking out, but she was so frightened that she peed and couldn't even speak, so she could only say, '

Uh-huh-uh' made a desperate sound.

After "Huang Shaohong" waited for this disgusting old woman to be pulled out, he immediately ordered the officials to select a minister and make him the prefect of Yizhou to take over all matters of Yizhou.
To be continued...
