The third prince of the Great Shang of Feiyung Pavilion was entrusted with the task of changing the pillars. This move made the civil and military officials of the Great Shang widen their eyes. In this era, force is almost supreme. For a time, countless people looked at this prince with passion.

Even Emperor Yi couldn't help being shocked and widened his eyes. If he had expected it from the beginning, then Zi Shou's change of support and pillars was simply unexpected, and he couldn't help it even more.

He blurts out praises: "My son is mighty."

The civil and military officials woke up as if from a dream, and cheered loudly one after another. When they heard that the Grand Master's eyes were shining brightly, they couldn't help but nod. Huang Feihu was originally from the military and respected the strong. Seeing Zi Shou's bravery, he cheered loudly.

, at the same time, countless generals in the hall applauded, not to mention other things, but said that the beam in Feiyun Pavilion weighed at least ten thousand kilograms.

The third prince was entrusted with the task of replacing pillars, and this single move convinced countless military generals. At least no one in the army dared to claim that he could do this.

Zishou returned to the banquet, as if nothing happened just now, and frequently toasted to his two brothers. Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziyan looked at the harmless and indifferent smile on his face, as if they had met him for the first time in so many years.

A chill suddenly rose up in the heart of this strange younger brother.

It seems that in this short span of one year, not only have the two of them matured, but even his younger brother has grown to an unfathomable level.

After the banquet, all the officials returned happily. When Zishou was about to return to his home, he was suddenly stayed by an eunuch who said that Emperor Yi of the Shang Dynasty had summoned him on other important matters (there were already eunuchs in the Shang Dynasty, and "convex knife" appeared in the oracle bone inscriptions).

"The word "eunuch" has the same meaning as the word eunuch. For convenience here, we call it eunuch). Zi Shou did not dare to neglect, so he came to Zhaoxuan Hall and found that Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziyan were also there.

The three sons waited in the hall for a full hour before Emperor Yi came out. He saw that each of the three sons looked calm and not anxious at all. He immediately admired them secretly. They seemed to have grown up.

In the dark and depressing hall under the night, Di Yi sat on the dragon chair and pondered for a long time, which made the three of them feel confused.

"Three princes."

After half an hour under the suppressed aura, Emperor Yi sighed faintly, and finally spoke in a deep voice: "What do you think...the current situation in the world is?"

Both Di Xin and Wei Zi Qi were shocked, knowing that their father Di Yi's question was definitely not unprovoked, so they did not dare to respond immediately and thought about it silently.

Wei Ziyan didn't expect so much. Seeing that the two of them were silent, he thought that his chance to show off had come. He thought for a moment and then said first: "Now that the rebellion in the world has been put down, the princes of the world have surrendered, and the people from all over the world are praising the father and the emperor."

Benevolence, I believe that under the rule of my father, the prosperous age of Wu Ding will be restored..."

Wei Ziyan praised the emperor's merits and virtues, and then looked proudly at his eldest brother and third brother who had no time to answer. He was about to accept his father's praise. Unexpectedly, Emperor Yi was not as happy as expected, but frowned.

, without saying a word.

Wei Ziyan observed his words and realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he lowered his head and did not dare to speak any more. Wei Ziqi became more cautious when he saw Emperor Yi acting like this, and Zi Shou did not speak hastily. While thinking, he secretly analyzed Emperor Yi's question.

intention.

After a long time, Wei Ziqi's speech finally broke the silent atmosphere: "To my father, I believe that the words of the second brother just now are correct. My father's majesty and virtue are unparalleled, and all the people from all over the world are sincerely convinced..."

Seeing Emperor Yi's still furrowed brows, Wei Ziqi immediately stopped praising him and changed the subject: "However, currently there are dog soldiers in the west, Dongyi in the east, and ghosts in the north, who from time to time infringe upon my great Shang people, among the princes.

There are also some black sheep who have different intentions, so we must not take them lightly."

"What Wang'er said makes sense," Di Yi nodded slightly and asked, "In your opinion, how can I sit back and relax?"

Zi Shou secretly observed Emperor Yi's expression and found that although he showed approval, the worry in his eyes had not diminished by half. Then his mind changed and he remembered the teachings of the Imperial Master in Dongyi. At this time, he was even more sure.

My own opinion.

When Wei Ziqi saw that his father confirmed his statement, he became emboldened and continued: "Although the eight hundred princes are good and bad, fortunately, most of them are still loyal to our court, especially the four great princes - Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu and Nanbohou E Chongyu

, Xibohou Jichang, Beibohou Chonghouhu, each of them is loyal and can be a powerful assistant to his father. These four princes each command 200 princes and manage them separately. Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu and Xibohou Jichang also return

You can lead the princes in the east and west to repel the Dongyi and the Quanrong. With this, your father can live in peace, spread benevolence, and enjoy a peaceful and prosperous age."

After Wei Ziqi finished speaking, he saw a smile on Emperor Yi's face and was secretly happy, but he heard a sneer coming from the side: "Brother Wang's great 'good advice'! If you follow these words, it's like digging your own grave. It's really ridiculous!"

"

"Three King Brother! You..." Wei Zi Qi was talking excitedly when he was suddenly interrupted and turned his head, only to see Zi Shou glaring at him with a murderous look on his face. This destructive look made him feel even more excited.

Startled.

"Shou'er! Why are you so rude!" Emperor Yi scolded Emperor Xin, "You can tell me what you think!"

After being reprimanded by Emperor Yi, Zishou took a deep breath. He remembered the invisible teachings of the Imperial Master. At this moment, he suddenly realized that the Imperial Master had seen all this a long time ago, and he also at this moment

After realizing everything he had never understood before, he raised his head and looked at his father, Wang Surong, and said, "My son, I believe that the biggest worry for Da Shang at present is not outside, but within!"

Di Yi raised his thick eyebrows, a flash of light flashed across his eyes, and he still asked calmly: "What is the meaning of this statement?"

"The 'internal troubles' that I am referring to are the eight hundred princes who are divided into various places!" Zi Shou's eyes were sharp and he could see that Emperor Yi was a little moved. He did not care about his shocking words and continued: "At present, although the princes from all walks of life appear to be surrendered,

, secretly they all have their own thoughts, especially the four most powerful princes. If we follow the advice of the great king brother, let him go, and let him become powerful, wouldn't it mean that his own life and even our great business empire will be put into the hands of others!

Once they rebel, the consequences will be disastrous!"

The more he talked, the smoother he became. Now he fully understood that everything that the master once seemed to have taught him unintentionally, turned out to be that he had never understood it before. Now that he thought about it carefully one by one, his scalp became numb.

"You are so brave, Brother Three King! You are here to scaremonger and slander Zhongliang!" Wei Ziqi interrupted Zi Shou loudly: "The four princes are loyal and sincere, and the sun and the moon can teach them! Not to mention that Dong Bohou will be with you soon.

There is the feeling of a son-in-law. Which one of Nanbohou and Beibohou is not loyal to the country? There is also Xibohou Jichang, who is a benevolent gentleman and has a reputation as a saint. He married his father's sister in the Weishui River and became famous all over the world.

, Where did this rebellious talk come from?”

"Hmph! I'm afraid Xiqi is the biggest thorn in my side, Dashang! Even if the 'loyal minister' Ji Chang doesn't rebel now, who can guarantee that his descendants will be loyal to Dashang? Even the so-called 'saints' are like this, let alone others.

Princes?"

The more Zi Shou thought about it at this time, the more his heart grew cold. Even the Grand Master Wen Zhong had never taught these issues. On the contrary, as an idle outsider, the Imperial Master saw everything clearly and had already understood everything without leaving a trace.

The advice was given to him, but he didn’t realize it clearly at the time. “If you don’t realize it yet, there will definitely be a situation where big businessmen are not respected and everyone is their own master. The consequences will definitely be the division of territory, the destruction of the country and the destruction of the family!”

"Silence, shut up!" Di Yi shouted angrily, covering his chest in pain, almost breathless. It seemed that the old problem of chest pain had returned. Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziyan hurriedly knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

, but Zishou still looked at his extremely angry father calmly.

When Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziyan saw Emperor Yi scolding Zi Sui, Wei Ziyan secretly rejoiced. During the day, he was also worried about the bravery of their younger brother. He did not know how to advance or retreat, which made his father really angry.

And Wei Ziqiye's face was a little pale, beads of cold sweat were falling from his forehead, and there was a look of fear in his eyes. It seemed! It seemed that his brother-in-law's arrogance was true!

The princes! Especially Xiqi! When he thought of all the things he had ignored in the past, at this moment Wei Ziqi raised his head and looked at the indifferent expression of the third brother, and suddenly felt an unattainable illusion in his heart.

"Since I, the great merchant, became the Holy King of Tang Dynasty, I have experienced twenty-nine generations of kings. Although there have been occasional ups and downs during this period, my country has always been as stable as a rock. Today, I inherit the destiny of heaven, govern the four directions with benevolence, and conquer the world with virtue. Eight hundred princes

I sincerely submit to you, how can you talk about the subjugation of the country! How dare you talk so alarmistly! I will punish you by kneeling here to reflect. If you don't repent again, you will definitely not be forgiven!"

Emperor Yi panted hard, and after scolding Zi Shou angrily, he seemed to lose interest and said to Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziyan: "You two should step aside and leave this traitor here to reflect. No one is allowed to intercede for him."

.”

From the gloating look in Wei Ziyan's eyes, it can be seen that Di Yi's last words were in vain. The two looked at each other and bowed before leaving. Di Yi glanced at Di Xin and left the hall with a flourish of his sleeves.

However, when the cool breeze blew like this when he went out, Wei Ziyan was about to say in excitement that Zishou had bumped into his father without knowing how to advance or retreat, when he saw his brother Wei Ziqi's face turned pale and a layer of cold sweat broke out all over his body.

It seems like it has just been fished out of the water.

"Brother? What are you doing?"

Looking at his second brother who had been close to him since childhood, Wei Ziqi forced a smile that was uglier than crying, and felt a chill in his heart. When he suddenly realized that he had figured it out, he realized that it was already too late.

"Third brother, you come back with me tonight."

Under the hoarse voice, Wei Ziqi didn't notice his disappointed look, as if he already knew the outcome, but Wei Ziyan saw that his eldest brother looked bad, and couldn't help but frowned in a low voice: "What's wrong, eldest brother? Then

Did Zishou collide with his father today?"

It seems to be saying why are you unhappy? Obviously this time we defeated the brat Zishou, you should be happy. Facing the appearance of his second brother, Wei Ziqi, who didn't know how to speak, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Sighing, he and his second brother slowly disappeared into the palace.

The sky was getting dark, and the hall was lit up with bright candlelight. Unknowingly, two hours had passed. Emperor Xin was still kneeling on the ground, his face was very calm, and he did not seem to be worried at all because of Emperor Yi's rage.

Under the frown, my mind kept recalling the seemingly careless words of the former Imperial Master, but now I feel that I am too far-sighted and it is my own stupidity.

When the previous teachings, even in his eyes, were making things difficult and teasing him, at this moment Shou's eyes couldn't help but feel a look of deep regret. How could he be so stupid?

He bared his teeth and claws, but he didn't think deeply about it.

"Sir, do you know how to repent?" At some point, Di Yi's voice suddenly came from behind.

"My son knows that he has failed his father's wrong love, but he does not think that he is wrong." Zi Shou, who was awakened at this moment, had even more determination in his eyes.

Although he had long seen that the princes were not good birds, and had even decided to be wary of them in the future, he had never seen it so clearly as the Imperial Master.

The strange thing is that Emperor Yi was not furious this time, but snorted coldly and said: "What a treacherous son, you actually refuse to repent! Since you are so insistent, let me just listen to your words. If you can't tell me something,

It's true, I will drive you out of Chaoge and banish you overseas!"

Zi Shou saw that Emperor Yi was in trouble and knew that his father might have been secretly wary of the princes for a long time. He couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. It seemed that the throne was not as easy as he thought.

After teasing him with the inadvertent stories of the former imperial master, Zi Shou was like a enlightened man. He was eloquent and explained all the pros and cons of the feudal system that he knew. Among the stories of the former imperial master, some of them were from

The unheard-of dynasty split, demise, and the chaos among the heroes was also indirectly mentioned from another angle by him, and he also mentioned the monarchical centralization system that made Emperor Yi's heart beat.

The Imperial Master once said that in the world of three thousand heavens, dynasties are divided and destroyed all the time.

Emperor Yi had always been wary of the major princes, but he had never thought about reform. He only thought about how to eradicate Xiqi, who was the greatest threat. He had never heard such incisive and unique insights. Many of the words he had never heard of. At the moment

His anger suddenly subsided, and he personally stepped forward to help Di Xin up, his face even more flushed with excitement.

"One of Qi'er and Yan'er only knows the so-called 'benevolence' and is able to persuade others. Although the other is talented, he has no knowledge of martial arts and cannot control the officers and soldiers of the three armies of the Great Shang. The Great Shang is now facing internal and external troubles and is in dire straits. I, the Great Shang,

Since the heyday of Wu Ding, the country's power has gradually declined. On the other hand, the princes from all sides have risen one after another, and it has become increasingly difficult to control them. During the reign of Emperor Taiding, the former emperor feared that Xiqi would become powerful, and imprisoned and killed the then Xibohou Ji Li (Ji Chang's father).

However, his son Ji Chang inherited his father's ambition, and Xiqi's power was not weak but strong. To avenge Ji Chang, I had no choice but to marry my younger sister Taisi to make peace with him. It is really a shame for the great merchants!"

When he said this, Emperor Yi's angry cheeks even showed a trace of flushing, "Although my father is a great businessman, he has no talent. If it weren't for God's eyes, I would have met an unknown soldier in the military."
