Marshal Deng of the Conferred God

Chapter 164 King Zhou's Helplessness

Chaoge, since he sent Hong Jin to conquer the North, King Zhou ignored Chao Gang and played with Daji in Shouxian Palace all day long.He is a person who does not miss old love. Hu Ximei and Wang Guiren have not heard from each other. He has asked Daji several times, but Daji prevaricates him. Now he does not mention a word, as if he has forgotten these two people from his memory.

Daji has always been obsessed with avenging her sisters, but it's not so easy to move Deng Jiugong because he has no handle.Hard work pays off, after some understanding, she learned that Deng Jiugong had a daughter, Deng Chanyu, who was as beautiful as a flower, and immediately took her heart.

On this day, Daji dressed up carefully early in the morning and went to Lutai to have a banquet, which was a feast prepared by the emperor for her alone.

"My concubine has seen Your Majesty."

Daji was about to salute, but was helped up by King Zhou.King Zhou laughed and said, "Your wife doesn't need to be too polite, just sit down and taste the delicious food carefully prepared for us by the royal chef!"

Daji sat down according to her words, looked at a table of dishes, but had no appetite at all, and suddenly covered her face and began to cry.

This time, King Zhou was in a hurry, and said hurriedly, "Why is the beauty so sad?"

"Your Majesty, seeing these dishes, the concubines can't help but think of their parents and Ximei. I have eaten these dishes with them in Jizhou before, and Ximei really likes this roast. Where's the sparrow?"

Daji stretched out her green onion finger and pointed to several dishes on the table.

Hong Jin's defeat was sudden, and Cui Ying deliberately blocked the news, so the imperial court did not receive the battle report from Northern Xinjiang.King Zhou said: "What's so difficult about this? When the father-in-law returns from a victorious battle, I will let him enter the palace to accompany you to have dinner."

Daji nodded, and said softly: "Except for father, the concubine misses Ximei and them very much, I don't know how they are doing well."

Mentioning Xi Mei, King Zhou's eyes lit up. This is a wonderful person with knowledge and wit. He hurriedly said: "Since the beauties miss them, I might as well send a letter to let them go back to the palace for a while. It's been so long, and I'm very sorry." Miss them."

Daji shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, Ximei and the others are practicing the key point. If they are distracted at this time, their lives may be in danger."

When King Zhou heard this, he was unhappy. Daji squinted at him, and said softly: "Your Majesty, it is more important to flatter them that they are overseas immortals than to seek Tao. The concubine knows that a girl is as beautiful as a flower, gentle and pleasant, and if your majesty If you can accept her into the palace, you will be relieved."

King Zhou rejoiced and said, "Since the beauty knows that she has such beauty, wouldn't it be great to invite her into the palace now to enjoy the glory and wealth!"

Daji sneered in her heart, and said to herself: "Deng Jiugong, my two sisters had no grievances with you, but you killed them cruelly. This bloody feud is irreconcilable. When your daughter enters the palace, I will torture her so that her life is worse than death, and then Then kill you father and daughter."

Seeing that Daji was silent for a long time, King Zhou was a little impatient, and said, "Why don't you speak, but there is something hard to say."

"Your Majesty, this woman is none other than the daughter of Marshal Deng Jiugong."

King Zhou was stunned, and then said with great joy: "Since she is the daughter of Deng Qing, then I accept her as my concubine, and a good relationship with him is the blessing of the court and the blessing of the society. I am very pleased that the beauty can think of this! "

Daji said: "My concubine is thinking that the current state affairs are difficult and the world is not peaceful. If His Majesty accepts Deng Chanyu, Deng Jiugong must be more loyal to His Majesty, and the country and society of the great merchants are as stable as Mount Tai."

King Zhou Longyan Dayue: "It's still a beauty who thinks carefully. When Deng Jiugong wins and returns to Beijing, I will order him to send his daughter to the palace and make him Concubine Shu to show the greatness of the emperor's grace."

"Your Majesty is wise."

The cold light in Daji's eyes flashed away.

……

Gao Jue heard the wordless conversation between King Zhou and Daji, and he told Gao Ming the important news.Under the order of Deng Jiugong, the two took turns to monitor the palace day and night, and they did not dare to neglect their work.

"This vixen is so daring that he actually has the idea of ​​a handsome daughter. He really doesn't know what to do!"

After monitoring for half a month, Daji's identity as a vixen also surfaced. At first, Gao Ming was taken aback, and sent someone to send this important news to Deng Jiugong, but the reply he got was "this commander already knew it".This made Gao Ming extremely frightened, the commander deservedly became the Grand Marshal of the Army and Horses in just a short period of time, he is an extremely human minister, he really knows everything, knows everything.

Gao Jue sneered and said: "The Hunjun really dares to think, how wise and powerful the commander is, not to mention that the Yin and Shang dynasties are thin, and there are only a few years to live. compromise."

"Brother, send someone to tell the commander in chief."

……

Thinking of the addition of a flowery beauty to the palace soon, King Zhou was in a good mood, but he did not embarrass the palace servants and servants around him.But this kind of life lasted for only one day, and the news of Hong Jin's defeat was sent to Chaoge like snowflakes.

King Zhou had no choice but to ascend to the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, Hong Jin completely wiped out the [-] troops in the first battle, and even he himself and the head of the state died in the battle. Since Deng Jiugong won the first victory in Xiqi, our court has never suffered such a defeat, a disastrous defeat !"

Zhang Qian's face was heavy, he didn't expect Chong Yingluan to be so powerful, and even Hong Jin, who is proficient in Taoism, was no match for him.

King Zhou said angrily: "Hong Jin is incompetent, and he deserves to die! Li Dengju's identity is unknown, causing a hundred thousand troops to be buried in northern Xinjiang. This is a serious crime. Come, take Li Deng to the Meridian Gate and behead him!"

If Su Hu hadn't died, even if King Zhou was angry, he wouldn't be furious.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Li Deng's face was ashen, and he was held up by two guards who came forward.

"My dear friends, Chong Yingluan disregarded the imperial court and killed the head of the country without authorization. He was disloyal, unrighteous, and rebellious. Like this rebellious minister and thief, I feel like a stick in my throat, and I can't express my anger. What can you do to extinguish this thief's arrogance."

After King Zhou's words fell, the entire hall fell silent, and Li Deng ended up dying because of recommending Hong Jin.At this juncture, who dares to recommend someone, and if thousands of people suffer another defeat, wouldn't they be following in Li Deng's footsteps.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Wei Zi sighed, and came out and said, "Your Majesty, there is no news of the battle between Deng Jiugong and Jiang Wenhuan in Donglu. It will be very difficult for the imperial court to send troops at this time. Besides, Eshun in the south I have always been rebellious and rebellious, and when I learned that I was defeated in the court, I was afraid that I would make some moves. According to what I saw, I had to guard against it."

Zhang Qian echoed: "Your Majesty, I think His Royal Highness Wei Zi is right. Hong Jin himself is proficient in Daoism, and he has Marquis Su as his guide, but the whole army is still wiped out. It can be seen that the climate of Chongyingluan has been completed. Send troops at this time The crusade can't be done if the number is small, and the court can't support it if the number is too large. If the war goes well, it's fine. The imperial court seems to be in harmony with its appearance, and we have to be wary of this person who destroys the national books without authorization."

As soon as these words came out, all civil and military officials nodded one after another. They had always admired Zhang Qian's vision for analyzing state affairs.At the beginning, Zhang Qian also opposed the use of troops against northern Xinjiang, but King Zhou insisted on going his own way, and Wei Zi agreed, so he sent Hong Jin to attack the north.

Wei Zi and Zhang Qian said that, although King Zhou was displeased, he still had to consider the power of the country, he hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help saying: "What the two lovers said is also reasonable, but the Chong thief can't ignore it, I think After thinking about it, we can only discuss this matter after Deng Qing returns to court."

At this time, King Zhou was very helpless. If it was a few years ago, when the imperial court had many soldiers and the treasury was rich, even if it was used in three directions, it would not hurt his vitality.But Xiqi had lost too much, so he had to consider the consequences of using troops now.

"Your Majesty Shengming."

When the civil and military officials heard this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The oppressive atmosphere just now made them uneasy.

King Zhou waved his hand and ordered his servants to announce his resignation. He didn't know how to comfort Daji later, and he felt a headache just thinking about it.
