Just as everyone expected, Yinxiang, who was favored by Yongzheng in every possible way, was often entrusted with important tasks by Yongzheng after he entered the court. Not to mention, Yongzheng was willing to entrust him with even some trivial matters around the emperor.

Of course, Yinxiang has never failed Yongzheng's entrustment. In addition to inventing pens, inks, paper and inkstones and other items of great practical value in daily life, he also led a group of craftsmen to refine blue and white porcelain, which made Yongzheng Longyan very happy. Call it the omnipotence of the universe.

However, although the courtiers are jealous of Yinxiang's importance in Yongzheng's eyes, they also know that they can't do what Yinxiang can do when they ask themselves, not to mention that there are some treacherous courtiers like Fei Zhong and You Hun in the court , but under the guard of Wen Zhong, Bigan and other loyal ministers who hold real power, most of them are also loyal and direct ministers, and they can only admire Yinxiang.

And those treacherous courtiers honored only the favor of the king of Shang back then. Now the inner core of the king of Shang has changed from Emperor Xin to Yongzheng, and Yongzheng hates treacherous courtiers the most, so now they are all changed from before. With a treacherous appearance, he bent on doing practical things.

When the treacherous ministers and corrupt officials were no longer seen in the court, it was supposed to be a time of celebration, but one person was troubled by this.

This person is none other than Xibo Hou Jichang.

It is said that Ji Chang is the most proficient in the technique of innate gossip divination, so as early as when Emperor Xin went to pay homage to Nuwa Empress, he learned through divination that Da Shang was at a disadvantage, and the divination told Ji Chang Chang, after Di Xin paid homage to Empress Nuwa, not only could Di Xin not be favored by Empress Nuwa, but the failure of this great merchant would become more apparent. Heavier.

But for some reason, Di Xin's purple energy that was supposed to dissipate gradually didn't appear to be scattered at all, but gradually became stronger again, which made Ji Chang puzzled, and also worried about his great cause. There is a little doubt.

After all, Ji Chang didn't dictate to Chaoge like his fathers did because he was one of the four princes. Instead, he always acted cautiously, so he was quite well-known.

But what is hidden under this word of mouth is the same ambition as his father's generation to take over the King of Shang and replace him.

Under the reminder of his father who is also proficient in innate divination, Ji Chang has known since he was a child that the great business spirit is approaching, and he also knows that he will be the founding emperor of the Great Zhou in the future, so what he learns daily are some ways of governing the country, even At a young age, I learned to pave the way for my future.

However, just when Ji Chang thought he was ready and just missed the door, the result of divination turned out to be counterproductive.

Ji Chang was suddenly confused.

Of course, Ji Chang never thought that he did something wrong, not to mention that he should be expected by everyone, and it is normal to be ambitious.

But now that Dashang's strength is not exhausted, what should he do?

Ji Chang locked himself in the room and thought about it. During this period, he did divination several times, all of which were bad luck for himself and good luck for the businessman, which really puzzled him.

But in any case, years of recruiting, as well as the high self-esteem and attachment to the throne, made Ji Chang unable to give up the imperial power he had been looking forward to for many years even if he knew that his destiny had changed.

At this time, news came from Chaoge that the King of Shang had recruited two new ministers, they were brothers and sisters, and they were both disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun.

Therefore, Ji Chang felt that maybe the two ministers of the King of Shang had used some methods to make the fate seem to be changed, but in fact they were just deceiving the world, delusional to make himself think that the countdown had been changed, and did not dare to act rashly.

After Ji Chang decided in this way, even if he knew that the possibility was only half and half, and if a trouble was not good, hundreds of members of the Ji family might have to confess here, and even the people of Xiqi would suffer, but the desire has long been He has already blinded his sight, so he only continues to recruit troops, intending to send troops to defeat Zhou one day in the future.

Because Ji Chang insisted on going his own way, and his actions were even bigger than before, Yongzheng, who had sent someone to keep an eye on Xiqi's movements, was aware of this Xibohou's change.

And Yongzheng didn't mean to help Jichang cover it up. The next day after the news was delivered, he put the matter in the early court and let all the courtiers discuss it.

What Yongzheng meant was just to see which courtiers are worthy of use, and which ones are too loyal to be of great use.

For example, Bigan.

Although he has a delicate heart, but he also has the benevolence of a woman, and he only thinks that Xibo Hou Jichang has a virtuous name. This news may be wrong.Therefore, he advocated sending someone to investigate again to see if it was true.

Yongzheng asked him intentionally, "What if it is true?"

But Bigan said: "If it is true, comfort should be the priority."

Yongzheng could only sneer at this.

On the contrary, Yinxiang and Jiang Ziya understood the emperor's heart better, and declared the main battle on the spot.

It's a pity that the two of them just entered the court for only a few dozen days, and they failed to make any practical achievements, so their opinions were really not convincing.

Although Yinxiang has invented many things to benefit the world and even Yongzheng, these are only small achievements, not really beneficial to the people's livelihood. After all, Yinxiang always prioritizes Yongzheng's welfare in everything, and the things he makes naturally are always It depends on what Yongzheng needs first. When Yongzheng has nothing to invent specially, Yinxiang will probably be in the mood to invent waterwheels and farming tools.

Therefore, although the courtiers all know that Yinxiang is favored by Yongzheng, it does not mean that they will easily submit to a person who does not have much foundation in government affairs.

Simply put, Wen Zhong is also a character who is simple in the emperor's heart, and the king of Shang was raised by him. Even if the inner core is changed now, but the change is just the difference between the past life and the future life. There is always something in common in thinking, so Wen Zhong also knows that Yongzheng has the heart to fight Xiqi decisively.

To be honest, Wen Zhong originally had a good impression of Xibo Hou Jichang. After all, he has lived for a long time. Although his appearance looks like he is only in his early thirties, his actual age, let alone being Yongzheng's father, It is more than enough to be a grandfather or great-grandfather.

Therefore, of course, Wen Zhong also knew how arrogant and arrogant the Xibohou of the previous generations was because he was one of the four great princes, and because of this, he was different from his parents and ancestors, who was kind and seemed quite innocent. Ji Chang appreciated it very much.

But this favor, how can it be compared to the king of Shang who he saw growing up from a young age?

For this reason, when Wen Zhong knew about Ji Chang's change, he frowned, and said firmly, "War!"

Wen Zhong is the elder of the three dynasties and the head of the Grand Master, and his foundation in the court is very solid. When he talks about war, not to mention those who are already in charge of the war, they all agree, but Bigan is the leader. The Lord Heyi faction, who met Xibohou in battle, had nothing to say.

Yongzheng raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction, and nodded lightly, "Although the battle with Dongyi is now a great victory, the soldiers and horses haven't returned yet, and even if they do, I can't bear to let them travel day and night to Xiqi To encircle and suppress rebellious officials and thieves who intend to rebel. Everyone, do you have any good ideas?"

All the courtiers looked at each other, except for Yinxiang, Wen Zhong and Jiang Ziya, no one knew what kind of medicine Yongzheng was selling in this gourd.

In fact, this is very simple, but Yongzheng wanted to use Xibohou's rebellion to get other princes to take action, so as to weaken the strength of other princes.

At the same time, it is also used to judge which vassal states have the same disobedience as Xibohou.

However, these vassal states should no longer exist, because after all, Yongzheng is the emperor after a thousand years, so he naturally knows that separation of powers and governance is not conducive to the implementation of government orders.

Wen Zhong felt something in his heart, but it was not deep enough. On the contrary, Yin Xiang and Jiang Ziya, who had also lived in the Qing Dynasty, had more feelings and stood up one after another. It should be said that for the stability of Dashang, they must be willing to stand up and draw a clear line with Xibohou."

What Jiang Ziya said was similar to his temperament in his previous life, and they were all very sharp, just like if other princes did not stand up and express themselves, they would be colluding with Xibohou.

As soon as Jiang Ziya finished speaking, Yinxiang also said: "Although what Dr. Jiang said is biased, there is some truth to it." Yinxiang's temperament is much better than Jiang Ziya's, and his words are naturally not as aggressive as Jiang Ziya's.Seeing his slight smile, it made people feel like a spring breeze: "It's better to let the four princes provide all the food and grass, and then a few princes near Xiqi will come forward and confront Xibohou with soldiers and horses."

This is good, because it will not be afraid that the four great princes will take this opportunity to fight together, and this war will last for an unknown time. If the three big princes are asked to pay all the food and grass, it will just drag them down.

Unless they secretly help out hundreds of people except for Xibohou and his family, their territory will at least be in a mess even if it won't be brought down by the inexhaustible supply of food and grass in the future.
