Chapter 1207: Go Your Own Way

"Originally, I lived in seclusion in Chaoge. Suddenly I heard that Emperor Xin wanted to collect corvees and build a deer platform for enjoyment. In order to prevent the people of Chaoge from losing their families and families due to corvee labor, I took on the task of building a deer platform and drove the mountain spirits. , built this suburban palace." Qin Yao said calmly.

In this matter, he held the moral right and could speak with great force.

But Wen Zhong didn't think so. He frowned and said, "The king wants to build a palace for pleasure. My uncle should dissuade him..."

Qin Yao said: "Nephew, you have mistaken the focus. I built Lutai not for the Yin Dynasty, but for the people of Li. I have nothing to do with Emperor Xin, so why should I try so hard to dissuade him from enjoying himself, and even give him money? Are you bringing yourself into trouble?"

Wen Zhong sighed: "But by doing this, you will undoubtedly aggravate the king's depravity! Uncle Master, I'm sorry, I will smash this deer platform today, and then I will go to see the king and explain my interests."

"The king has arrived."

Suddenly, a loud voice sounded from behind the army.

Wen Zhong turned around and looked through countless soldiers, only to see Di Xin, dressed in black royal robes, appearing here with hundreds of civil and military officials.

"Are you all blind?" Behind Di Xin, a round-faced official wearing a purple robe, a round hair crown, and a long beard on his upper lip yelled at the soldiers in front of him: "Your Majesty is here, why not?" Why don’t you get out of the way quickly?”

The soldiers remained motionless, even if they were facing the Yin Shang King.

"Make way." Wen Zhong said calmly.

After hearing the general's order, the soldiers quickly opened a wide road for Emperor Xin to lead his officials.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will summon Grand Master Wen to come see you." The official with a long beard said.

"I don't need to bother you, Doctor Fei. I heard that the Grand Master is a veteran of three dynasties, so even the lonely king should go see him." Di Xin waved his hand, strode forward, and soon led the civil and military officials through the army and came to Outside Lutai Gate.

"Your Majesty, I am wearing armor and it is difficult for me to salute. Please forgive me." Wen Zhong stood in front of Huo Qilin and said with cupped fists.

"The grand master is Tuogu minister. He already has the right not to kneel before the king, let alone wearing armor?" Di Xin laughed and said: "I won't mention it anymore. When the solitary king heard that the grand master returned to the court, he came early. We are ready to welcome you in the palace, why didn’t Grand Master go to the palace first, but came here first?”

Wen Zhongning said: "I heard that the king built a deer platform for pleasure, and also set up a wine pond and meat forest in the deer platform, and stayed up all night, so I wanted to come here to see it."

Di Xin smiled, glanced around him, and looked at Shang Qingjun emphatically: "This is someone slandering the lonely king. Dare I ask the grand master, who is gossiping to you?"

"Slander?" Wen Zhong said quietly, "How about your Majesty, please take me to see the wine pool and the meat forest?"

Di Xin's eyes flickered: "It's been a long journey, Grand Master, so it's better to go home and have some rest. Tomorrow morning, the lonely king will take Grand Master to see the Wine Pond and Meat Forest."

Wen Zhong looked intently into Di Xin's eyes, shook his head and said, "I'm not tired, old minister."

"Wen Zhong, are you looking down on the king? The king told you to rest, so you should go and rest." The official with a long beard said again.

"Who are you?" Wen Zhong asked.

"My official name is Fei Zhong, the senior doctor."

"Are you worthy of the name Zhong? Get out of here." Wen Zhong raised the golden whip in his hand and said coldly: "If you dare to say another word, I will smash your dog's head."

As soon as he finished speaking, boundless murderous aura spread out and enveloped Fei Zhong's body, making him feel as if he was stuck in a quagmire.

Fei Zhong couldn't even open his mouth now, and the hair all over his body stood upside down, as if shaking chaff.

Di Xin couldn't help but be furious, but he could only hold it back and said in a calm voice: "Grand Master, there is no need to argue with him. The lonely king will take you to see the wine pond and meat forest."

Not long after, Di Xin took Wen Zhong and the civil and military officials to the outside of a courtyard. As the chamberlain opened the door, a strong aroma of wine hit his face. Looking around, there were even countless naked beauties walking in the courtyard. In the wine pool, a hanging piece of bacon is placed on a wooden rack, and the meat slices are fragrant.

Wen Zhong was silent.

At this moment, he thought of the hail of spears and arrows he encountered during his expedition to Beihai, of a famous soldier who died under the hail of spears and arrows, and of the small tombs on the barren hills of Beihai, where buried Anonymous loyalty.

"It's just some wine, some meat, and some women, but nothing interesting." Di Xin said casually.

Wen Zhong held the King-beating Golden Whip tightly in his palm, and his aura fluctuated violently.

"My lord, resign!"

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer or continued talking, he would actually attack the king, so he immediately turned around and left without hesitation.

Di Xin breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Fei Zhong: "Ask those women to put on their clothes, and then take them off after the lonely king comes here."

"Yes." Fei Zhong said respectfully.

Among the crowd, Qin Yao, who had witnessed this scene with his own eyes, sighed slightly, and he could probably understand Wen Zhong's mood.

Is there anything more depressing than when loyal ministers and good generals are away fighting while their own king is molesting the soldiers’ daughters?

Most of these beauties in the wine pool and meat forest were plundered from Chaoge.

It's fine if she's just a daughter, but what if she's a general's wife and concubine?

You go and fight for me while I play with your wife in the rear. Who can face this situation without breaking down?

That night.

Wen Zhongku was sitting in the study, and his old wife and children were guarding the door, but they didn't know what to do.

The next moment, the candlelight flickered in the study, and Qin Yao's figure rose up from the ground. He met Wen Zhong's eyes and said, "You don't mind if I come without telling you?"

Wen Zhong: "I did this kind of thing to you once today. Now you do it to me once, why should I mind?"

Qin Yao said: "Can you understand now why I didn't persuade Emperor Xin?"

Wen Zhong was silent.

This boomerang, after spinning in a circle, hit him right between the eyebrows.

"I want to know what your purpose is for coming to me this time. To comfort? It seems that our friendship has not reached this stage. To ridicule? We should not have this kind of hatred. Or, you just feel a little bored, so you want to come over and talk to me. Shall I chat?" Shao Qing and Wen Zhong asked seriously.

Qin Yao smiled silently and said, "I'm here to make friends with you."

Wen Zhong was startled.

friend?

It was such a foreign word to him.

"Why?" After a moment, he couldn't help but ask.

Qin Yao suppressed his smile and said, "I admire your ability and personality very much. This alone is enough."

Wen Zhong: "..."

Just because of this? !

Is this reason too casual?

After a moment of silence, Wen Zhong said: "I have inquired about it. Over the years, your Majesty built a deer platform, set up cannons and fire basins, favored Daji, and allowed her to do whatever she wanted. Fei Zhongyouhun's favor made the court unhealthy. Prosperous. Recently, we even summoned the so-called Hundred Immortals, hoping to use the Hundred Immortals as soldiers to attack the west."

Qin Yao nodded and said, "It's all true."

Wen Zhong's cheek twitched and asked: "What's going on with Baixian?"

"Mountain fox wild ghost." Qin Yao said.

Wen Zhong's body trembled and he could not speak.

"Why, why did this situation happen?" He murmured after a long time.

Qin Yao said: "Because Emperor Xin... was punished by heaven."

With that said, he told Wen Zhong everything about the poem written by Nuwa Palace.

The old general's blood froze when he heard this, and his whole body became cold.

"Can you take me to Nuwa Palace to see it?"

Qin Yao nodded, opened a door leading to Nuwa Temple in the study, raised his hand and said: "You can go alone, I won't go in."

Wen Zhong showed no fear, stepped through the door and entered Nuwa's palace, only to see four poems inscribed on the side of the wall:

In the hibiscus tent, the beauty of the country is fragrant, and the moon is shy of the flowers, and the soul is wandering.

But if she is charming and able to act, she will marry the king of Changle.

Wen Zhong's expression changed drastically, he took three steps back, and then took a breath of cold air.

After an unknown amount of time, he pulled out a sword from his hands and tried to destroy the verses on the pink wall. However, the tip of the sword was isolated by a barrier. Even if he tried his best, he could not destroy these four obscene verses. word.

"Ding Dong."

The sword in Wen Zhong's hand slipped, and he walked out of Nuwa Palace in despair, passed through the door of dimensions, and returned to the study.

"Did you see it?" Qin Yao asked.

Wen Zhongdao: "That poem cannot be destroyed."

"It's hard to collect water." Qin Yao said: "If I were you, I would immediately resign and return to my hometown."

Wen Zhong shook his head: "You are not me..."

Qin Yao said seriously: "God's will cannot be violated."

Wen Zhong: "Man can conquer heaven."

Qin Yao's face paused slightly, and he summoned a yellow paper talisman with his hands, and placed it gently on the table: "If your life is in danger, tear this talisman apart, and I will help if I can."

"I recognize you as my friend, although I don't know how I can help you." Wen Zhong glanced at the yellow paper charm and said softly.

Qin Yao said in his heart: Wen Zhong can't help me with anything, but the highest god of Lei Department, Jiutian Yingyuan Thunder Universal Transformation Tianzun can!

His friendship is never cheap, and his circle will not be open to cannon fodder in the Battle of the Gods...

The next day.

Great court meeting.

Wen Zhong refused the reward from Emperor Xin and put forward ten suggestions in front of all the civil and military officials.

First, demolish the deer platform to put an end to the trend of arrogance, extravagance and lewdness; second, abolish the cannons and burners so that the admonishment officials will be loyal; third, fill the pots of grass, so that the palace troubles will be at ease; fourth, remove the wine pools and meat forests to cover up the slanders of the princes; fifth, demote Daji. , the inner court is safe; Sixth, investigate the treacherous ministers, and quickly kill Fei Zhongyouhun. Seventh, disperse hundreds of immortals to clear the court. 8. Recruit loyal men, emphasize talents and seek talents; 9. Recruit the southeast and quell the war; 10. Broaden the channels of expression so that there will be no disadvantages of being blocked in Chaoge.

As soon as the ten remonstrances came out, Daji, Fei Zhong, and You Hun all panicked. You Hun, who had a mustache, did not face the majesty of the grand master and reprimanded him in court. However, he was beaten violently by Wen Zhong in front of him and was almost beaten to death in the palace.

Emperor Xin took Daji and left the court angrily. The national preceptor Xuanyuan Lan tried to take charge of the overall situation and suppressed Wen Zhong, but was beaten by Wen Zhong until he was covered in bruises and fled in a hurry.

Seeing this situation, all the officials were speechless. Many officials who had just entered the dynasty in the past ten years truly realized what it meant to be a veteran of three dynasties and what it meant to be an independent and important minister.

Wen Zhong showed his domineering attitude and suppressed the court, but he was not happy and even felt sad inside.

Xuanyuan Lan, who was forcibly beaten away and lost all face, was even more angry. He rushed into Jiang Ziya's fortune-telling parlor in broad daylight, intending to discuss with his allies how to get rid of Wen Zhong, but found that the place was already empty.

Afterwards, she rushed to Lutai immediately, but still couldn't find Shen Gongbao. She suddenly realized in a trance that she had been abandoned?

But, what’s the reason?

Could it be that Shen Gongbao was afraid of Wen Zhong?

It shouldn’t be!

Xuanyuan Lan was puzzled but could do nothing.

At the same time, after Wen Zhong made a big fuss in the court and established the prestige of the Grand Master, he did not give up. After going out, he ordered his troops to tear down the deer platform, fill up the wine pond, and overturn the meat forest. Drive away lustful women, and even drive away the so-called hundred immortals.

The first few were okay, but a huge conflict broke out in the last one. The immortals severely injured the generals who came to expel them, which made Wen Zhong furious. He personally led his men to whip the immortals, killing ninety-nine immortals, and the ground was covered with fox corpses.

Afterwards, Wen Zhong ordered people to skin the ninety-nine foxes, sew a hundred fox clothes, and send them to Emperor Xin.

Daji accompanied Di Xin and vomited the moment she saw the Baihuyi. She vomited out all the acidic water in her stomach. Her hatred for Wen Zhong instantly surpassed everyone else.

But there is no way, even Tai Nai can't do anything to this evil star, let alone her.

At the critical moment, Zhanjuan, the old ghost in the palace who was accompanying her, offered advice. She couldn't help Wen Zhong, but she was able to transfer him away.

As soon as Wen Zhong left, wouldn't everything return to the way it was before?

Daji was overjoyed and hurriedly found King Fox to discuss it. King Fox left Chaoge that day and secretly helped King Pingling of Donghai to rebel and proclaim himself king. The whole world was in an uproar for a while.

Emperor Xin reopened the court meeting and agreed to all Wen Zhong's requests except killing Daji and Fei Zhong Youhun. He only hoped that Wen Taishi could rush to the East China Sea as soon as possible to put down the rebellion.

Wen Zhong insisted on killing the demon queen and the minister before leaving. Unexpectedly, after the rebellion of King Ping Ling, he seemed to have divine help and attacked sixteen cities in a short period of time, destroying seven princes along the way.

Emperor Xin imprisoned all Fei Zhong and Youhun, and abolished Daji's title of queen. Only then did he ask Wen Zhong to go on an expedition and send this great god out of Chaoge...

And when Wen Zhong left, everyone from Emperor Xin to ordinary officials breathed a sigh of relief, and life quickly returned to the previous state. However, Daji was very angry at being removed from the position of queen, and heard someone in the palace making fun of her. I immediately investigated the matter thoroughly, and finally found out that the person who made the mockery was Huang Niangniang's maid.

Daji relied on Emperor Xin's favor, but she didn't care about Huang Niangniang and Bai Niangniang, so she sent people to kill the maid. Huang Niangniang was so angry that she went to Daji for an argument. During the argument, Daji pushed her down from the Zhaixing Tower, and she died from then on. …

That night, under the Star-Zhaing Tower, Qin Yao came to the body of Huang Niangniang and put away her soul.

In fact, he witnessed the whole process but did not cast any spell to rescue her.

Mainly because for immortals, being on the list of gods is a very miserable thing; but for ordinary people like Huang Empress, being able to be on the list of gods and becoming the righteous god of heaven is a great blessing. .

And this Huang Empress was named the Queen of Earth by Jiang Ziya in the original work because she was Huang Feihu's sister, and became the righteous god of heaven. How could he ruin the opponent's opportunity?

Shortly after.

Qin Yao came to Li Mansion in Chentangguan through the Dimension Gate, called Li Jing's family and Huang Feihu's family into the courtyard, and took out Huang Niang's soul in front of everyone.

"younger sister?"

Huang Feihu's eyes widened, as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Brother." Huang Niangniang stretched out her hand to grab Huang Feihu, but her grasp was in vain. Tears turned from Yin Qi flowed across her cheeks like a river bursting its embankment.

Huang Feihu's head was buzzing, and he turned to look at Qin Yao: "Chief Immortal, what happened to Chaoge? How could my sister become like this?" (End of Chapter)
