The envoys were ordered to go out with the pardon and all the officials were very happy to hear the news.

It is also said that Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo, was in Youli, thinking deeply about the suffering of his eldest son, and sighed: "My son was born in the West, and he has never heard of Chaoge. He did not listen to his father's words, and that's why he suffered this misfortune."

"It is said that saints do not eat the flesh of their children. As a father, you have no choice but to do so. It is really a tactic to follow the authority."

Just as he was thinking about it, a sudden gust of wind blew two pieces of the eaves tiles to the ground, shattering them into pieces.

Xibohou was immediately shocked.

What kind of vision is this? What is going to happen?

Then he burned incense and searched for the money and gossip to find out his feelings early.

Soon, the calculation will come out:

"Today the king's pardon comes."

So he called to his left and right: "The king is about to arrive, pack up and go."

All the ministers who followed him were unwilling to fully believe him.

However, at this moment, the envoy conveyed the decree and the pardon letter had arrived.

After Xibohou received the pardon ceremony, the envoy said: "I am pardoning Mr. Ji Bo by imperial decree alone." Ji Bo then looked north to express his gratitude, and then left Youli.

I saw the elders of Youli leading sheep and carrying wine, crowding along the road, kneeling to pick up and drop off, saying only:

"A thousand years old. Today, dragons swim in the sea, phoenixes gather in the phoenix trees, tigers climb the mountains, and cranes perch in pines and cypresses!"

"For seven years, Qiansui taught me the word "Fu". All the young and old know loyalty and filial piety, and all women know chastity. They behave in a vulgar manner. All residents, big and small, regardless of men and women, are grateful to Qiansui for his great kindness!"

"Now that I'm done with my face, I won't be exposed to the rain and dew again!"

As he spoke, he cried from side to side.

Xibohou also cried and said: "I have been in Youli for seven years, and I have no size or beauty. I have been drinking and drinking with all the people, and I feel uneasy."

"I only hope that you will live up to my daily teachings, and naturally everything will be fine, and you will enjoy the blessing of peace in the court."

As soon as these words came out, the people felt even more sad and sent them ten miles away, holding back tears to say goodbye.

When Xibohou arrived at Chaoge, hundreds of officials were waiting to receive him at the Meridian Gate.

I saw Weizi, Jizi, Bigan, Weiziqi, Weiziyan, Maiyun, Maizhi, Huang Feihu and the eight admonishment officials all coming to see Xibohou.

When Ji Chang saw all the officials arriving, he hurriedly saluted and said, "The prisoner has not seen all of you for seven years. Now that God has granted me a pardon, it will be thanks to the blessings of all of you that I can see the light of day again."

When all the officials saw that Uncle Ji was old and energetic, they comforted each other.

He also said that when the envoy returned the message, King Zhou was at the Longde Hall.

Xuanju official was randomly ordered to accompany Ji Chang to the court.

When they met King Zhou, they saw Ji Chang in plain clothes. He fell down and said, "I will be punished for offending my minister Ji Chang!"

"I am pardoned by grace. Even if my bones are broken and my body is shattered, I have no repayment. It is all the years given by Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live long."

When King Zhou heard this, he was very satisfied.

If this Ji Chang is as Fei Youqing said, I can feel relieved a little.

So he said: "You have been imprisoned in Youli for seven years without any complaints. Instead, you prayed for the longevity of my country, the peace of the world, and the happiness of the people. It can be seen that you are loyal, and I have really failed you!"

"I am hereby issuing an edict to pardon your innocence. However, despite how innocent you have been for seven years, you are still bestowed with the title of Chief of the Hundred Dukes of Virtue, Loyalty and Filial Piety. I am especially dedicated to the expedition, and I have given you Bai Yan and Huang Yue to take charge of Xiqi!"

"Every month, I will add one thousand dan of rice, two civil servants, and two military generals to send you back in honor. I will also give you a banquet at Longde Palace and parade for three days to pay homage to the palace to express my gratitude!"

Xibohou immediately thanked him.

In fact, my heart hurts a lot.

——Your Majesty, you know that I, Ji Chang, am innocent, but don’t you know that my son Kao from that city is also innocent?

…

At that time, Ji Chang changed his clothes.

When all the officials celebrated, they had a banquet in Longde Hall.

I only saw:

The tables and chairs were wiped clean, and a strange and gorgeous feast was laid out.

On the left is a white jade vase with makeup flowers, and on the right is an agate coral tree.

Enter the wine palace, the two Luopu, and add the fragrant beauty to the two Chang'e.

Musk and sandalwood in the golden furnace, drops of pearls in the amber cup.

Both sides were surrounded by embroidered screens, and gold mats were sold and sold heavily by all the people.

The gold plate, rhinoceros and chopsticks hide the dragon and phoenix treasures.

It's neat and tidy, and the weather is normal.

Erping brocade tent, surrounded by flower collar.

There are many layers, and the natural colors are strange.

Stop boasting about Jiao Li Huo Zao, you have your own Que Tongue Teeth Tea.

White apricots soaked in water, soybean sprouts and red ginger.

Goose pear, apple, green and crisp plum, longan, loquat, golden stone orange, large pomegranate, autumn persimmon with round balls, rabbit silk, bear paws, orangutan camel hooves.

Who admires his phoenix marrow, dragon liver, lion eyes and lin breasts?

Slowly pour out the jade liquid from the Yao Pond and the nectar from the Purple Mansion, and play the flute, flute, and phoenix flute, like a wooden instrument and a reed.

It is exactly this: Xibo praised the officials for having a banquet first, and the dragons were able to get the water out of the mud. There were all the dishes they wanted, and all kinds of delicacies were available. The sound of a drum was the joy of the emperor.

At this banquet, Bigan, Weizi and Jizi were all the officials in the court, all of whom were happy for Ji Chang's pardon.

Waiting for all the officials to have a secret banquet and enjoy themselves, the Marquis of Xibo will go out to express his gratitude and go to court?

After three days of praising officials, the situation became even more exciting.

But see:

The front is covered and the back is supported, and five-color flags are waving.

The barrels and spears are swinging with red tassels, and they are shining brightly toward the sky.

The ax on the left and the pumpkin on the right.

The yellow bow is placed in front, and the leopard tail is followed behind.

A warrior with a sword will be more glorious, and an official will be more happy.

The silver chair is lined with a jade lady, and the free horse is decorated with a golden bridle.

Wearing dragons and flying phoenixes in large dragon robes, the dragons and phoenixes are hidden in their makeup.

The bundle of jade and precious stones was inlaid with eight treasures. The people rushed to see the Emperor Xi, and all the people congratulated the saint for coming.

Exactly: the sweet fragrance fills the road, and heavy turbulence covers the steps.

The people in Chaoge City, all supporting the old and young, dragging men and carrying women, came together to see King Wen praise his officials.

Everyone said: "Zhongliang is out of the carved cage today, and the virtuous prince is full of disasters."

It is also said that Xibohou praised his officials in the city.

At the end of the day, I saw buildings facing each other, swords and halberds, and a group of people arriving. I couldn't help but ask: "Where is the group of people in front?"

Someone on both sides said: "It's Wucheng Wangye Huang who is back from watching the exercise."

King Wen hurriedly dismounted, stood beside the road, bowed, and said, "See you, Ji Chang."

When King Wu Cheng saw him dismounting, he hurriedly rolled his saddle and dismounted. He held his hand and said, "If you avoid me by mistake, I hope you will be forgiven." He also whispered, "Today the wise prince has returned with honor. It is really a great joy. I will be the last general."

I have something to say to you. I don’t know if the virtuous king can tolerate it."

Xibohou laughed and said, "I don't know how to teach you."

King Wu Cheng looked left and right, and immediately said: "This is not far from the general's mansion. How about a small glass of wine to express your feelings?"

Seeing him like this, King Wen knew in his heart that King Wucheng must have something to say, so he responded: "The wise king is above, how dare Ji Chang not accept the advice."

Immediately he followed Huang Feihu to the palace.

Huang Feihu ordered the people around him to prepare a banquet quickly, pass around cups of wine, and talk about loyalty and loyalty.

Unconsciously, holding a candle at dusk, King Wu Cheng ordered both sides to retreat.

Then he said to Jichang: "My lord's happiness today is truly a boundless blessing. Today, I favor evildoers, do not listen to honest advice, corrupt ministers, indulge in drunkenness and sex, fail to regulate the government, and do not tolerate remonstrances."

"The cannons were used to drive away loyal and good people, and the turret basin was used to block the remonstrances of ministers, causing all the people to panic, and swords and soldiers were everywhere. In the southeast and two places, four hundred princes have been rebelled against."

"With the virtue of a virtuous king, he still has the restraint of poverty in Youli. Now that he has been pardoned, it is really like a dragon returning to the sea, a tiger entering the mountains, and a golden turtle escaping from the fishing line. Why don't you realize it?"

"Besides, there are no three days of formality in the court. Why should a wise king praise his officials or wander around the streets? Why not fly out of the carved cage early and return to his old friend, father and son reunited, husband and wife reunited, what is not beautiful?"

"Why do you have to do such uncertain things in Chaoge's snare?"
