First Emperor

Chapter 89
"I invite Xibo Hou Jichang and Beibo Hou Chonghou Hu to discuss the matter."

Yin Xin started to get down to business.

The messenger hurriedly left the hall.

After a while, Chonghou Huda strode into the main hall, kowtowed at the main hall.

Xibo Hou Jichang finally recovered his breath, his body was still weak, only the guards helped him into the hall.

Yin Xin summoned him, no matter how sick he was, he had to go, especially when Xiqi lost troops and lost generals.

"Old minister... kowtow to the king!" Xibohou Jichang kowtowed in the hall.

At this time, he cursed Yin Xin 1 times in his heart, and his heart was bleeding when [-] troops were killed in Dongyi.

The chief culprit of all this is the aloof King of Shang, Di Xin. If the King of Shang hadn't dispatched Xiqi troops, this incident would not have happened.

But now in the court hall, he dared not show the slightest sign, let alone complain.

Di Xin is the king and he is the minister.

Not to mention the death of [-] soldiers, even if it is doubled, there is nothing to do, but to knock out teeth and swallow blood!

What's more, in the future, if Yin Xin is held accountable, he, Xi Qi, will bear the brunt.Not to mention the loss of troops, or a heavy fine!
"Cough cough cough..."

Xibo Hou Jichang's blood was attacking his heart, he was seriously injured, he kept coughing continuously.

This is not Xibo Hou Jichang pretending, but the truth!

"The old minister will be punished with death!" Xibo Hou Jichang bowed his head and knelt in the hall.

"Why did Marquis Xibo say that?" Why did Yin Xin not understand what Ji Chang said, but pretended to be confused.

"Xiqi's [-] army conquered Dongyi, but they were defeated and fled miserably. The old minister is ashamed of God's grace!" Ji Chang's heart was bleeding, and he had lost [-] troops, but now he had to plead guilty in the hall.

Only Ji Chang can deeply understand the taste of it, it's hard to hold back!

Ji Chang never believed that Xiqi's [-] army would be crushed by Dongyi and would be powerless to resist. Although the [-] army was not the main force of Xiqi, it was not much weaker.

If Dongyi's troops were really so brave and good at fighting, let alone Xiqi and Donglu, even the entire Dashang territory might fall into Dongyi's hands.

But before the truth of the matter was clarified, even if Ji Chang was 1 reluctant, he didn't dare to say more, and if he was careless, he would lose everything.

And Xiqi's army suffered a disastrous defeat, so he cannot escape the blame!
Although Xibo Hou Jichang suspects that the truth of the matter is far from simple, there must be an inside story, and he even suspects that Yin Xin may be involved, and even Donglu Jiang Huanchu is inseparable, but this is only Ji Chang's suspicion, and there is no evidence. Dare to speculate wildly.

"Dongbohou's Battle Report once mentioned that the Dongyi tribe dispatched the awakened bloodlines of the ancient Wu tribe this time, and one person killed tens of thousands of my Xiqi!"

"If this is the case, this matter has nothing to do with Lord Hou! Not to mention Xiqi, even the main force of the big merchants may not be able to resist."

Yin Xin looked at Ji Chang, who was lying under the Highness, and glanced at the officials, and did not blame Ji Chang.

"Your Majesty's sage, the old minister kowtows to thank God." Ji Chang was kneeling down in the main hall at this moment, bowing his head respectfully.

What Ji Chang was most worried about was the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Dongyi, and Yin Xin would be held accountable. He never thought that Yin Xin would mention it and did not say much.

This was beyond Ji Chang's expectation, and what made Ji Chang even more suspicious was still to come.

"Old Hou Ye is not feeling well, get up quickly!"

"Come on, give me a seat!"

Yin Xin's move immediately won the hearts of most ministers in the hall.

Ji Chang hurriedly saluted, and was seated with the support of the guards, he was very puzzled what kind of medicine was sold in Yin Xin's gourd.

"I have summoned the Second Marquis to the palace for a court meeting, and it is because of Dongyi's matter!" Yin Xin paced, stood on top of the main hall, and got to the point.

"The Dongyi tribe acted recklessly and violated the destiny. They killed my [-] soldiers in Xiqi. This is an unforgivable crime. Now I want to conquer by myself! Suppress Dongyi and avenge the [-] soldiers!"

"what……"

Both Xibo Hou Jichang and Beibo Hou Chonghou Hu were startled.

They originally guessed that Yin Xin might send Wen Taishi to fight against them. Wen Taishi went to the north and south, and he was not defeated. If he led the troops to fight, he would surely win.

I also heard that the grand master is good at spells, if he meets that awakened witch bloodline again, he will be able to suppress him on the spot, how could he be allowed to be arrogant.

This is indeed the case, but Wen Taishi can't go, because Yin Xin has other plans, and he has to go for it himself.

Things were always unexpected. Shang Wang Yin Xin never played his cards according to the routine, which caught them all by surprise.

"Your Majesty, you must not..." Ji Chang and Chonghou Hu heard that Yin Xin was in command of the crusade, and they all hurriedly knelt down and begged for orders.

Yin Xingui is the Son of Heaven and the Lord of the Great Merchants, so he must not take risks, especially now that the Dongyi people have divine help.

"The loneliness has been decided, and the second prince doesn't need to say more."

Yin Xin didn't want to talk too much, let alone talk nonsense, no one could stop his royal conquest.

He was too lazy to persuade Xibohou and Beibohou. For him, his personal expedition had nothing to do with it, and they had no right to interfere.

Both Ji Chang and Chonghou Hu were stunned, and they couldn't help but looked at Grand Master Wen worriedly, only to see that Grand Master Wen seemed to be in a trance, as if he hadn't heard the words.

Both of them are so smart, they have already guessed a little, so they don't say more.

Grand Master Wen didn't stop it, maybe they were thinking too much!Of course, it may be that the grand master went out with the army, so it doesn't matter if Yin Xin goes to the army or not.

"This time, the conquest of Dongyi still requires the second marquis to share the worries." Yin Xin did not give Ji Chang and Chonghou Hu any chance to breathe, and made a decisive decision.

"It's an honor to be an old minister to serve the King!" Chonghou Hu heard this, and couldn't help but clasped his fists and said loudly.

Chonghouhu is loyal to Yin Xin, and once Yin Xin proposes, he will fully support it no matter what.

Ji Chang's heart was shocked, and the way he looked at Yin Xin changed. He vaguely guessed that Yin Xin was going to have some bad intentions.

Being plotted against by Yin Xin twice in a row, Ji Chang was really scared. Once he was bitten by a snake for ten years, he was afraid of the well rope, which is Ji Chang's state of mind at this time.

"Don't dare to refuse, old minister." Ji Chang's heart bleeds again, this must be worse, he silently prayed.

In the conference hall, all civil and military officials are present, Chonghou Hu has shown his loyalty, if Ji Chang refuses to obey, then he is asking for trouble.

In addition to the matter of Dongyi, although Xiqi lost troops and lost generals, the majesty of the great merchants was lost. Yin Xin never pursued responsibility, which is already a great blessing.

"Gu Yujia's personal expedition! It is still necessary for the Second Marquis to send troops to go out. I wonder if the Second Marquis has any objections?"

Yin Xin looked at Xibohou and Beibohou.

"The guilty minister took the order. This time the defeat of Dongyi, the guilty minister will bear the first crime, but he needs to trouble the king to conscript himself. The guilty minister must die!"

This time, Ji Chang beat Chonghouhu to show his loyalty, loud and clear.

Yin Xin was stunned, the manuscript he had typed up suddenly got stuck.

Originally, he thought that Ji Chang would struggle, but he didn't expect him to agree so quickly.

Yin Xin didn't know what Ji Chang was planning in his mind, what kind of tricks he wanted to play, but Yin Xin didn't care, he really didn't pay attention to Xi Qi, especially now that he had stepped into the ranks of immortal cultivators and was promoted to heaven. wonderland.
