Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Ji Chang entered the plea form the next day and pleaded guilty first.Then politely asked Di Xin to look at his mother and his wife's face, and asked the emperor to exempt him from his crimes and forgive his sins.

Ji Chang sent this form through Bigan, who was brother to Di Xin's father, Di Yi, and the son of Wen Ding.Ji Chang's father, Ji Li, married Wu Yi's daughter, who was brother and sister with Wen Ding.

In other words, it means that Ji Chang, Bigan and Di Yi are cousins, or Di Xin's cousin.

Bigan means that Ji Chang can be punished to a certain extent, but the military force of Xiqi Army has become stronger and stronger in recent decades.If there is a war between the imperial court and Xiqi, it will create an opportunity for Dongyi, who has been eyeing businessmen all the time.

Di Xin was ambiguous and accepted Ji Chang's confession form.

Di Xin returned to the inner court and showed the confession form to Empress Jiang.

"Is Your Majesty going to forgive Ji Chang?" Empress Jiang worked hard for a while. Looking at the oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty, she passed the test.

Di Xin shook his head, "How is that possible? I want Bigan to come forward to intercede with Ji Chang. Apart from his relationship with relatives, he must have other intentions involved. Back then, my father decided to pass on the throne to me despite all the arguments. It’s not brother and brother, he must be very dissatisfied that he didn’t get the throne. And Bigan is a person with a certain amount of talent, well, I think... how about sending him to take over Xiqi?”

"Okay, Your Majesty, that's a good idea." Empress Jiang praised.

"It's just that Xiqi now has a vast territory and has the heavy responsibility of defending against Xirong. If Bigan is sealed in the past, a new Xiqi king will inevitably be created in a few decades. It's better to ask for opinions on this form in the clan , Anyone who agrees to pardon Ji Chang will be sent to participate in taking over part of the management of Xiqi after the examination and feels that his majesty is capable. This will divide Xiqi into multiple parts. In later generations, it will be a place as big as Xiqi As the provincial capital, set up the provincial capital, and the provincial capital is directly assigned to the emperor to dispatch officials. There are many counties in the province, and there are county guards. As for the people of the Ji family, in view of your father and ancestors, they are still treated as small princes, and they will be close to Chonghouhu. Is it appropriate to set aside a county and the Ji family, so that the descendants of the Ji family can have food and clothing?"

"Okay." Di Xin praised - it's a bit too wicked to do so.

Jiang Hou then added: "When Bigan and others go to Xiqi, they will not be sealed in Xiqi forever. When Hong'er grows up, it is natural that Uncle Wang will return to Chaoge."

Di Xin was overjoyed, "According to your idea. I know that if you ask you about such things, there will be a good way.

The empress made a countermeasure, and Emperor Xin circulated Ji Chang's confession form in the clan. There were indeed people who had gotten along well with Ji Chang in the past and interceded for Ji Chang.

Di Xin wrote down those who agreed, discussed with Shang Rong and King Wu Cheng the abilities of these people, and selected seven or eight clans with acceptable abilities, headed by Bigan, and determined the officials who would take over Xiqi in the future.

Emperor Xin sent imperial officials to spread the news about Ji Chang's arrogance to become king and his captivity to Xibo, and spread it to all the princes guarded by merchants.When the news came back to Xiqi, all the civil and military officials of Xiqi were stunned by the emperor's actions.

Emperor Shang wants to kill Uncle Xichang!

My king was detained in Chaoge for a crime, what should I do?One faction of Xiqi advocated sending troops to rescue immediately, while the other suggested giving gifts and bribing the emperor's close officials so that they could lobby the emperor to release Ji Chang and meet Xiqi.

San Yisheng gathered several of Ji Changxin's most important officials, Bo Yikao, Ji Fa, etc., and the attendants sent back from Chaoge by Ji Chang sent back Ji Chang's orders to Bo Yikao.

"Your Majesty asks the Eldest Son to obey his mother's order, and to be with his brother, not to follow the ancestor's long-cherished wish."

Boyi Kao sighed: "Grandfather and father have been keeping a low profile for many years, just to change Jue Yuanzi. Now that my father is so stigmatized by the emperor, it will be difficult for him to "virtuously" win the hearts of the people of the world and the eight hundred princes. "

Ji Fa disagreed and said: "Brother, don't take this as a hindrance. Waiting for him to be the emperor in the future, it may not be impossible to change today's affairs. Several generations of Yin emperors were treacherous and cunning. In the past, the grandfather was trapped in the court. I died because of singing. Today, Emperor Xin traps my father again, and I can’t be humiliated by my father and ancestors unless I flatten Chaoge.”

Ji Fa is the representative who is actively fighting against Emperor Shang.

Bo Yikao said: "It's better to send people to give treasures first, plead guilty to the emperor, and redeem my father before planning for the future."

Ji Fa disapproved and said, "Shang Tianzi detains his father to make our brothers be wary. No matter what treasures are sent at this time, Shang Tianzi will not agree to release his father back."

San Yisheng persuaded: "If there is a war with Shang Tianzi at this time, the king will be in danger at Chaoge. The eldest son has thought carefully, first try to see if he can redeem the king. If there is no battle, let the people of Zhou know what the son is for. Father is safe, not fighting with the court for no reason."

In the end, among the ministers of Xiqi, the patriarchs of Boyi Kao and San Yisheng had the upper hand.Bo Yikao wants to pay tribute to Chaoge to redeem his father, but San Yisheng dissuades him, but Bo Yikao insists on refusing.

Bo Yikao then went into the inner palace to bid farewell to his mother Taiji.

Taiji said: "You go to Chaoge. If Emperor Xin detains you, it means that there will be no one in charge of the overall situation in Xiqi! You stay in Xiqi, and I will return to Chaoge. I just can't redeem your father. My identity, he only has the charge of usurpation, and if he is with me, he will not be wronged."

Ji Fa persuaded Bo Yikao, "Brother, what mother said makes sense. Don't forget the wishes of grandfather and father."

Bo Yi Kao began to hesitate, Tai Ji said: "If you are a filial son, you should obey my words."

Under the persuasion of his mother and younger brother, Bo Yikao had no choice but to agree.

The next day, Taiji went to Chaoge with the treasures of the Zhou family that had been packed.

Along the way, Tai Ji led people to Chaoge through mountains and rivers, wind and rain.Returning to Chaoge after a long absence, she had mixed feelings, and never thought that she came back to atone for her husband's sin.

After she settled down in Chaoge, she went to find Uncle Wang Bigan that night.

Bigan Taiji came to Chaoge to redeem Jichang, very surprised.

Taiji begged: "Now that Emperor Xin is angry, I dare not let Yikao come to Beijing. It would be best if we can ask Emperor Xinen to allow us and my wife to release Xiqi. I will live here, and I will not leave Chaoge in the future. I also ask Brother Wang for help."

Bigan replied: "When you are in the future, I have already interceded with the emperor to Ji Chang. The emperor did not say how to punish Ji Chang, but I heard that Xiqi cannot be occupied by the Ji family in the future. The court wants another Send someone to take over, the candidate has not been selected yet."

Taiji said anxiously: "Xiqi is the place where the Ji family has survived for generations, how come it is getting to the point where my son has no place to stand?"

Bigan had already known his idea from Di Xin, and wanted to send his clan to Xiqi to replace Ji's plan to defend Xirong, but he didn't know who would go.

Seeing that Taiji was in a hurry, he said: "It's not that Ji's family will not be given a foothold. Zhou's old land should be given to Bo Yikao."

Tai Ji cried bitterly, and asked who in the court could persuade Di Xin, and she brought the treasure inherited from the Ji family.

Bigan shook his head, "All the former courtiers were beheaded by the emperor. In the inner palace today, there are only four concubines, the queen, the queen, the second concubine and the beauty. The emperor only respects Empress Jiang, and empress Jiang is also with the emperor. The interests of the imperial court come first."

Taiji was taken aback, "How could there be so few people in Shoude's palace? I also heard last year that the emperor wanted to recruit hundreds of beauties from each town, asking for virtuous, virtuous and dignified women to fill the inner court. It was said at that time that the emperor won the Marquis of Jizhou Su Hu's beloved daughter, who did not go to court for half a year, was licentious day and night, resulting in a lack of control over the court and confusion for a hundred generations. Are these lies?"

"The fact that the sage wanted to choose beauties in every town was suggested by the courtier Fei Zhongyouhun. The old minister Shang Rong dissuaded him at the time, don't you know?"

Taiji shook his head, the father and son of the Ji family had changed their minds to change Jue Yuanzi to replace Emperor Xin, so the canceled beauty pageant naturally only talked about the first half, how could they talk about the latter.I am afraid that only their father and son, and a few confidantes know the truth.

"Brother Wang, is Empress Jiang a good talker? I brought the Qixiang chariot, the hangover felt, the white-faced ape, and ten beauties left by my father, the first ancestor of the Ji family. I hope these can atone for Ji Chang's crime."

Bigan asked: "What is the magical effect of all these?"

Taiji replied: "The Qixiang chariot was left behind by Emperor Xuanyuan when he broke Chiyou in Beihai. People sit on it and don't need to push it. It follows the rider's wishes from east to west, north, south, and east. Those who are very drunk lie on this rug and wake up in no time. Self-faced apes are monsters who can sing thousands of tunes. They can sing songs before feasts and dance on their palms. Singing the warbler, dancing like a weak willow. The ten beauties are all rare beauties, and they are all of good looks."

Bigan sighed, "If Di Xin was half a year ago, he might have been bribed by these gifts from you. He is now focusing on government and state affairs. All these things of yours are to seduce the emperor to indulge in fun. I'm afraid it will be self-defeating."

Tai Ji was worried, "Brother Wang, what can I do in your opinion?"

Bigan was also worried, he didn't want Di Xin to really kill Ji Chang, but Di Xin detained Ji Chang without punishment, it was only a temporary thing, waiting was Xi Qi's attitude.If the Boyikao brothers handed over Xiqi obediently, Ji Chang might be alive, otherwise it would be hard to say.He told Tai Ji cryptically about this idea. After chatting with Bigan for so long, Tai Ji also understood the ending of her husband guessed by Bigan. She cried and cried, but there was no suitable way.She declined Bigan's persuasion, said goodbye and left.In the morning of the second day, he handed over the form to the inner palace, and attached the gift list, requesting to see the queen.

Empress Jiang showed Tai Ji's request form and gift list to Di Xin.

Di Xin pointed at those things and said, "Tsk tsk, Xiqi regards me as a foolish king who likes to have fun."

Empress Jiang also smiled and shook her head, this gift has no effect on the two of them.Alas, don't you ask the other party's preferences before giving the gift?

In "The Book of Songs? Daya? Daming", Zhou people highly praised the marriage of the ancestor Ji Li to the royal daughter: Ji Li's wife and the mother of King Wen, Zhizhong, was a prominent nobleman in the commercial area.

In this article, for Ji Chang's wife, the origin of the hexagram of Emperor Yi Guimei is adopted.It is said that this is more reliable, and only the change of Jue Yuanzi happened, that is, after King Wu of Zhou won the world of merchants, he continued to sacrifice to Wen Ding and Emperor Yi, which is equivalent to his grandson inheriting his grandfather's property.
