Honghuang: My understanding is beyond belief. I am the first immortal of Jiejiao.

Chapter 194: The demon is making a move, and the Shang Dynasty is gradually declining

Emperor Xin built a lot of buildings in the palace, which cost the people money and property. Naturally, it attracted the attention of the civil and military officials in the court. Many loyal and good people could not bear to see the six hundred years of foundation of the Shang Dynasty destroyed by Emperor Xin.

So, the loyal officials, led by the minister Mei Bo, came to the palace to persuade Emperor Xin. The rest of the civil officials, seeing Mei Bo leading the way, naturally followed him and came to the palace.

In the palace, Emperor Xin was drinking and having fun with Daji, as well as the Jade Pipa Fairy, the Nine-headed Pheasant Fairy, and the maids who had transformed themselves into maids.

At the same time, there were some maids wearing clothes that were not suitable for children and performing various obscene actions.

Just when Emperor Xin was enjoying the wine, a palace maid came to report:

"Your Majesty, there are ministers headed by the noble official Mei Bo. They said they have important matters to report to the king!"

When Emperor Xin heard the news, he was immediately displeased.

"Humph, these civil and military officials are not managing the government and trying to eliminate the Xiqi rebels. They actually have the time to hang out in my palace. This is dereliction of duty! It is inevitable that they are derelict in their duties."

"Spread the word that the king is busy and will not summon anyone!"

After saying that, Emperor Xin waved his hand, turned around, and continued to have fun with Daji and others!
"My dear, come, how about having a drink?"

Just because Emperor Xin refused to meet his ministers doesn't mean that the three demons, led by Daji, don't have any ulterior motives.

Su Daji was worried that she could not find a good excuse to deal with these loyal and good people of the Shang Dynasty. Although the nine-headed pheasant spirit offered a wonderful method, it would take these loyal and good people to take the initiative to get into the trap.

The arrival of Mei Bo and others was undoubtedly the reason why someone brought him a pillow when he wanted to take a nap. Moreover, it was a soft pillow with embroidery.

Su Daji had an idea in mind. She only needed to speak a little to provoke Emperor Xin's anger. Thus, she could punish these loyal officials of the Shang Dynasty for a crime of disrespect.

Thinking of this, Daji turned to Emperor Xin and spoke hypocritically:
"Your Majesty, I have heard that Mei Bai, Shang Rong, Du Yuanxian and their ilk are all loyal and good ministers of the Shang Dynasty. For the sake of the Shang Dynasty's long-term prosperity, Your Majesty should meet these ministers."

"What if these ministers really have a plan to stabilize the country and wipe out the rebels? Wouldn't it be a blessing for Da Shang and the people?"

When Emperor Xin saw Daji, she looked like a pear blossom in the rain, charming and charming. Her voice was like a spring in the mountains, or a yellow oriole in the valley. How could he hold back his emotions?

In addition, the two big monsters, the Jade Pipa and the Nine-headed Pheasant, also used their seductive skills and agreed with Daji in unison.

Emperor Xin had no nerve to go against the will of the three demons, so he could only wave his hands and shouted helplessly:

"Send the order to summon Mei Bo and his party to the palace!"

When Mei Bo, Shang Rong and other ministers entered the hall and saw what was happening, they were immediately furious.

The hall was littered with cups and plates, and some drunken young men and women were lying on the floor, looking very ugly.

However, all the ministers suppressed their anger and bowed to Emperor Xin!

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May you live long and long!"

A sound like the roar of mountains and seas rang out, and Emperor Xin raised his right hand and said in a deep voice:
"My lords, please forgive me and stay on your own terms!"

"Since you have come to see me, what good ideas do you have for governing the country? Please tell me in detail!"

When the ministers heard this, they looked at each other. Previously, they were full of enthusiasm, but now, under the pressure of Emperor Xin, the emperor, they felt a little palpitated and could not help but hesitate.

Once they reached the main hall, there was no way back. The official Mei Bo gritted his teeth and flashed out from the class.

"Your Majesty, I think that if the Shang Dynasty wants to last forever, it should punish the treacherous and corrupt officials, rectify the government, care about the people's livelihood, and never waste money." "Besides, our Shang Dynasty has the Zhou Bo Yikao causing trouble and rebellion in the west; the Dongbo Hou Jiang family is raising troops in the east, and E Chongyu is spying on us in the south. Moreover, Fu Hao and Wen Zhong have not returned from their expedition to Beihai, and Yuan Futong is still raging with evil!"

"Your Majesty should manage the internal affairs of the court and govern the people. I have heard that the palace has neglected the people's livelihood and has been engaged in large-scale construction projects. This has cost the people money and may damage the foundation of the Shang Dynasty. I hope Your Majesty will understand!"

Emperor Xin heard this, but before he could speak, Daji took over the conversation and said in a cold voice:
"The Shang Dynasty has been appointed by Heaven for more than 600 years. Moreover, Your Majesty is in the prime of his life, and his legacy will last for generations. The government is clean and honest, and the seas and rivers are peaceful. With capable ministers and officials assisting him, there is no such thing as treachery."

"Is it possible that Rumei Bo is the only loyal and honest person in the court? War is just a rumor you made up. If there is war, it means you are just sitting there doing nothing and not sharing the worries with the king!"

"The king is enjoying himself in his own palace, what does it have to do with you? Do you dare to override the king and disobey the rules..."

Mei Bo was very angry at Su Daji's words. Moreover, from ancient times to the present, there has never been a case of women interfering in politics.

Now, in the court, before Emperor Xin even opened his mouth, Mei Bai was scolded. He was also accused, without any basis, of being a figurehead and overstepping the royal authority.

Mabel's blood boiled immediately, and he said loudly, regardless of anything else:

"This is a matter of national importance. The king has not spoken yet, so how can you, a concubine, have a say? Get out of the hall and wait for the king's decision!"

"Your Majesty, I also have a heart that serves the country and the people. This Mei Bo is so rude and blames me for no reason. I hope Your Majesty will make a decision for me, sob!"

How could Emperor Xin not follow Su Daji's words? Immediately, Emperor Xin spoke.

"Doctor Mei, if you apologize to my beloved concubine, this matter will be over. I will not punish you for your disrespect. You should stop discussing state affairs and go away!"

When Mei Bo heard Emperor Xin's words, it was like a basin of cold water poured over him from head to toe! How could a noble official like him bow his head and confess his guilt to a demon concubine?

Mei Bo immediately straightened his neck, looked at Su Daji coldly, and said sternly:
"The evil concubine devoured the heart of Yabi Gan, killed the wife and sister of King Wucheng, and forced King Wucheng to take refuge in Xiqi. These are all terrible things. Even if the evil concubine is cut into pieces, it would not be too much."

"I am a high-ranking official, how can I bow to a demon concubine? I beg Your Majesty to stop the construction of the palace, that is the right thing to do."

Emperor Xin had already been bewitched by Su Daji, and when he heard Mei Bo's words, he became furious.

"Mei Bo, you are so rude. I have been planning to give you a way out, but you refuse to appreciate it. My men, push you down from the hall and behead you outside the Meridian Gate!"

Immediately, the warriors in front of the palace rushed into the hall, grabbed Mei Bo, and walked out of the hall.

"Wait a minute," at this moment, Du Yuanxun, the Grand Tutor of the Imperial Observatory, stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, Doctor Mei is innocent. The evil concubine should indeed be executed. I hope Your Majesty will pardon her!"

Naturally, the Grand Master of the Imperial Observatory would be able to see the evil aura on Su Daji, the jade pipa, and the nine-headed pheasant spirit.

So, for the sake of big business, he stepped out of class and exonerated Mei Bo.

Emperor Xin was so angry that he could not listen to these honest words. He immediately ordered the soldiers to bring Du Yuanxian and punish him together.

"You are a tyrant. You favor your evil concubine and are treacherous. Sooner or later, the Shang Dynasty will fall at your hands."

These words made Emperor Xin very angry.

"Quick, quick, take these two thieves out and behead them!"
