Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone
Chapter 223 Selling a Girl for Glory
Chapter 223 Selling a Girl for Glory
This is not a good thing for Ao Bing.
He also wanted to show favor to Su Hou, fulfill his wish, make him continue to stay in You Su State, and thus use the favor to make him obey his orders.
But now, before he could even open his mouth, Su Hou had come up with a solution. If his solution worked, Ao Bing would lose a means to control him, which was naturally not a good thing.
Of course, even if Marquis Su relied on his own abilities to make Emperor Xin continue to enfeoff him in the State of Yousu, Ao Bing could still use other means to threaten him.
But doing so would never sound good if it got out, and it is far worse than repaying a favor.
The purpose of showing favor is to get something in return. Showing favor to Su Hou and then making him obey you is completely reasonable and no one can find fault with it.
But directly forcing Su Hou to obey him is an act of the devil, and it is not something that a righteous person like Ao Bing can do.
The reason why the immortal way is called the right way is that compared to the evil way, the immortal way has more bottom line, will not do things by any means necessary, and knows what should be done and what should not be done.
As the god of justice, Ao Bing is a role model among role models of righteousness. It is even more impossible for him to break the law knowingly and do such things to intimidate others.
To put it simply, the character of a righteous person cannot collapse. If his character collapses, how can he still manage the punishment of heaven and earth and plan for the position of the Antarctic Emperor?
Therefore, in order to repay the favor and have a legitimate reason to control Su Hou, no matter what his plan was, Ao Bing had to find a way to secretly ruin it.
"The king is going to seal me in another place instead of Yousu, simply because my prestige here is too high."
"If I am sealed here any longer, I will rebel again if I have any second thoughts, and destroy the good situation that Long Bo has worked so hard to create."
"Therefore, if you want the king to give up on re-conferring me to another land and continue to be conferred in Yousu, there is only one way, and that is to prove my loyalty to the king!"
"As long as the king knows my loyalty and realizes that I will never betray the Shang Dynasty again in my life, the king will definitely change his mind and continue to seal me in Yousu and let me guard this place for him."
Just as Ao Bing was thinking, Su Hou spoke up and expressed his thoughts, using absolute loyalty to gain Emperor Xin's trust.
"That makes sense, but how are you going to prove your loyalty to the king?"
Ao Bing admitted that Su Hou’s method was good, but the problem was that loyalty was something that could not be seen or touched. How could he prove it?
"I have a daughter named Daji, who is born with a mysterious Yin body, and is invaluable. Marrying her will strengthen your destiny. I would like to present her to the king. What do you think of Long Bo?"
Knowing what Ao Bing was wondering about, Su Hou smiled confidently and took out his biggest trump card, his only daughter Su Daji.
"you……"
Ao Bing was so angry that he almost laughed. He didn't expect that Su Hou, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would do such a thing as selling his daughter for fame and fortune.
However, he changed his mind and felt that Su Hou Xian Nu's plan was really brilliant. It not only perfectly solved his problem of wanting to continue staying in You Su, but also brought him a great help.
Su Daji was the second most important person in the State of Su and a priest respected by everyone. After Emperor Xin married her, even if Marquis Su wanted to rebel, he couldn't do it because the people under him would never agree.
Therefore, Su Hou's act of offering his daughter could indeed effectively prove his loyalty to Emperor Xin.
After getting a loyal minister, Emperor Xin would definitely support him without reservation and use him to gain greater benefits for himself.
From this point of view, Su Hou's plan is not only brilliant, but also too brilliant. Just by offering a daughter, he not only solved his own problems, but also gained an opportunity to grow stronger.
Maybe after this disaster, the Su Kingdom will not weaken, but will be rebuilt from the ground up and become even stronger.
This plan can be said to be a rebirth for the Yousu Kingdom. Even Ao Bing couldn't help but admire it after hearing it.
As for whether Emperor Xin would agree? Of course, he would agree. Nowadays, what Emperor Xin lacks most is loyal ministers.
If a loyal minister came to surrender, as long as his loyalty could be confirmed, he would not refuse to accept him even if he was a traitor.
Moreover, there was one thing that Lord Su did not lie about, and that was that by marrying Su Daji, not only would he gain the full support of the Su family, but he would also be able to improve his destiny.
Although Su Daji was a human, she perfectly inherited the bloodline of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, so that she was born with a Xuanyin body and her appearance was so stunning that it could overwhelm a country.
A body of extreme yin and yang is a supreme destiny born with, responding to the orders of the emperor above and the king below, and is born inexpressibly noble.
That is to say, Daji was born to be a queen, and Emperor Xin's fate was just right for her. Marrying her would indeed enhance his own fortune.
Luck is so important that just marrying a woman can improve one's luck. Even if she is ugly, Emperor Xin will go against everyone's opinion and forcefully marry her.
Besides, Daji was not ugly at all, but beautiful. The Nine-tailed Fox, whether good or evil, was a rare beauty in the world, so Emperor Xin had no reason to refuse.
However, Emperor Xin had no reason to refuse, but Ao Bing did.
"It's not right. This is totally wrong."
"If the king has not yet appointed a queen, I can help you with this. However, now that the king has appointed the daughter of the Marquis of Dongbo as the queen, your daughter Su Daji must not enter the palace." "Otherwise, after Daji enters the palace, if the king favors her alone, or even deposes her, wouldn't that lead to turmoil in the country and unrest in the nine provinces?"
"If so, wouldn't I become a criminal of the Shang Dynasty? Therefore, for the sake of the world, Lord Su should give up the idea of selling his daughter for fame as soon as possible."
Without thinking, Ao Bing refused.
Selling a daughter for fame and fortune is not a glorious thing. The reason why Marquis Su told Ao Bing was not to show his loyalty to him, but to ask him to come forward and tell Emperor Xin about this matter.
Su Hou had no connections in the Shang Dynasty. If he wanted to offer his daughter to Emperor Xin, he had to find a middleman. And Ao Bing was the middleman he found.
Su Hou thought that as his daughter, she would definitely be favored after entering the palace. At that time, Ao Bing would also be able to gain a lot of benefits through Daji, so he would not refuse this matter.
But what he didn't know was that Ao Bing was thinking about how to ruin his plan. After hearing his plan, he immediately thought of a ready-made excuse and used it without thinking.
"Don't talk nonsense, Uncle Long. My daughter is well-educated and well-mannered. How could she do something to seduce the king?"
It would have been fine if Ao Bing had refused, but he also spoke so badly of his daughter that Su Hou could not stand it anymore and retorted angrily.
"What a joke! If your family is a descendant of Tushan, I would believe what you say, but your family is a descendant of a fox. What is a fox? Others don't know, but don't I know it?"
"It was fine when he was in the demon tribe, and he was still on the right path. But after the demon tribe fell into decline and joined the evil spirits, Youhu quickly became corrupted."
"In order to improve their strength, they will do anything, including using seduction to make others work for them. Or they will use their yang to replenish their yin and steal the cultivation of others."
"You have such a bad reputation as a fox, how dare I send Su Daji into the palace? If she gets into trouble in the future, the consequences will be on me."
Ao Bing sneered repeatedly, not taking Su Hou's anger to heart at all. His words were unpleasant to hear, but the reputation of Youhu outside was even more unpleasant.
The fox is a auspicious animal, but in later generations it became a derogatory term, and this is all thanks to the fox.
After the decline of the demon race, most of the fox people became evil, and they became more and more unscrupulous in their behavior, bewitching others, taking yin to replenish yang... they did almost anything.
Ordinary people cannot tell the difference between foxes and other foxes. When they see a fox doing evil, they think all foxes are like that. Over time, foxes are naturally stigmatized and reduced from auspicious animals to demons.
"you……"
Thinking of Youhu's reputation, Su Hou's face turned pale and blue, and he couldn't say anything to refute. Because Youhu's reputation was really too bad, and he deserved to be suspected.
"Also, Su Hu, who do you think you can hide your thoughts from? When you sent your daughter to the palace, did you really not intend to make her the queen?"
"In fact, whether you think so or not, as long as there is this possibility, it is destined that your daughter cannot enter the palace."
Seeing that Su Hou remained silent, Ao Bing continued.
Although he intended to sabotage Marquis Su's plan, he stopped Daji from entering the palace out of genuine consideration for the Shang Dynasty.
Daji's fate can enhance people's luck, and the higher her status, the more luck she can boost.
Therefore, after she entered the palace, it is possible that Emperor Xin deposed Queen Jiang and made her the queen in order to gain more luck.
If Emperor Xin did this, it would be a big trouble. Queen Jiang was the daughter of Duke Dongbo. If she was deposed for no reason, Duke Dongbo would rebel.
As one of the four great marquises, the power of the Duke of Dong is much stronger than that of the Su Kingdom. If he rebels, the world will surely be shocked.
At that time, even if the Shang Dynasty could finally put down the rebellion, it would still be seriously damaged. When the other princes saw this, could they resist being tempted?
If the princes are tempted, the Shang Dynasty will perish.
Therefore, in order to prevent this from happening, Ao Bing must stop Su Daji from entering the palace.
As for the claim that Emperor Xin could restrain himself and not depose his empress and establish Daji as his new queen, haha, even if Emperor Xin could restrain himself, could Daji guarantee that she would not seduce Emperor Xin?
It's not that Ao Bing looks at people with tinted glasses, but Youhu's reputation is too bad. Knowing that she has a bad reputation, he still let her enter the palace. Isn't that looking for trouble?
To avoid future troubles, it is best not to give them the opportunity to cause trouble from the beginning.
"Youhu is a fox, Yousu is a Su. Uncle Long has a deep prejudice against Yousu. I will prove with facts that Yousu and Youhu are different."
Knowing that there would be no result if the conversation continued, Su Hou said something coldly and left.
Obviously, he had not given up on sending his daughter to the palace. After all, this was his only chance to turn things around, so he had to give it a try no matter what.
As for Ao Bing's worries, Su Hou didn't care at all. He knew his daughter well. She was well-educated and well-mannered. Even if she wanted to compete for favor, she would not go to the extent of deposing the queen.
Just wait and see, he will use facts to break Ao Bing's prejudice against You Su.
