Chapter 274 Summoning the four princes
Shang Rong's soul looked at Liu Ming and saluted.
"Thank you so much, Taoist priest. Now that I am just a wisp of my soul, the Taoist priest can actually see it. Just when I saw the Taoist priest take action, I knew that the Taoist priest is not a mortal. Can you tell me, where does the Taoist priest come from?"
Shang Rong asked with some confusion.
"Haha, Prime Minister Shang, I told you that I am from outside the country. This is just a general term. In fact, I come from the ancient world, which is what you call the immortal world!"
Liu Ming said.
Now that Shang Rong's body is dead and only his soul is left, and Shang Rong's soul will be included in the list of gods in the future, Liu Ming naturally has nothing to hide.
After hearing this, Shang Rong's soul looked at Liu Ming in shock.
"That's it, Taoist Priest, oh, no, Immortal, Shang Rong understands. No wonder the Immortal is so powerful. It turns out you are an Immortal, but Immortal, you come from the immortal world, why are you wandering around the human world? Is it for something? ?”
Shang Rong asked curiously.
"Haha, you will naturally know in the future that you have become a soul now, so you don't have to worry about what happened to Dashang. In addition, the fate of Dashang is no longer decided by King Zhou himself, but by the law of heaven. You do you understand?"
Liu Ming said.
"Oh? No wonder, hey, I understand, this is God's will and cannot be violated by human power! I guess Daji is not an ordinary person, otherwise why is she so powerful!"
Shang Rong asked.
"Haha, that's right, but of course I can't explain the reason to you clearly, and you can't understand it. Now you just have to keep your soul alive, and you will have your own destiny in the future!"
After Liu Ming finished speaking, Shang Rong nodded.
Then, with a wave of his hand, Liu Ming protected Shang Rong's soul and sent it out, placing it in the void.
After doing all this, Liu Ming returned to Chaoge City.
It is said that after King Zhou forced Shang Rong to death and burned Zhao Qi with a cannon, he still could not feel any relief from his hatred.
And he naturally understood that the current civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty simply did not believe him, but they did not dare to say anything because of his power.
This made King Zhou a little worried. As the king of the Great Shang Dynasty, if all the ministers were on guard against him and were not loyal to him, this would not be an option. Problems would arise sooner or later!
After returning to Shouxian Palace, the vixen had already possessed Daji.
She originally went to Liu Ming to question her, but Liu Ming ruthlessly told her that it was Yuxugong Guangchengzi and Chi Jing who did it. Now Daji completely calmed down.
"Your Majesty, you are back!"
Daji looked at King Zhou and asked.
King Zhou nodded.
"Why, it seems that the king is a little unhappy. Did the ministers say something again?"
Daji asked.
King Zhou recounted everything that happened in the court.
Daji couldn't help but be a little surprised after hearing this.
Shang Rong actually committed suicide, and Zhao Qi was also burned.
In this way, the current big business officials Mei Bo and Zhao Qi died, as did Shang Rong and Du Yuanxian, the elders of the three dynasties.
Dashang is about to reach his peak!
Daji couldn't help but get excited.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. These ministers are now intimidated by you, and they don't dare to oppose you anymore!"
Daji said.
When King Zhou heard this, he became even more worried.
"Beauty, you don't understand. Although these ministers are now frightened by my king's methods, you have to know that they are just dissatisfied with their hearts and even their mouths. They just don't want to be killed by this king in vain, so they can barely calm down. Well, if there is any trouble, these guys will definitely rebel directly!"
King Zhou said and shook his head.
When Daji heard this, he also frowned.
It seems to make some sense!
"It's better to call Fei Zhong and You Hun to discuss this matter. Although they don't have any great talents, they have unique insights into these matters!"
Daji said suddenly.
When King Zhou heard this, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in his eyes. Yes, it was the summons fee. You two came.
After explaining their concerns, Fei Zhong and You Hun also frowned.
"Your Majesty, the civil and military attitude of the entire dynasty is not important now. Now I feel that we have a bigger enemy to face!"
Fei Zhong said suddenly.
When King Zhou heard this, he motioned for him to continue speaking.
"Your Majesty, think about it, the civil and military officials in this dynasty are all people who can only speak quickly. They can say things that are unfavorable to your Majesty until they die. But today's four major princes are the feudal officials who guard the four directions. He has soldiers and horses in his hands, and there are many of them. If these four princes turn against him, it will be in danger. At least the one we can know now is Dong Bohou Jiang Huanchu, and the queen is his daughter. Now that the queen is dead, it is difficult to protect him. There is no reluctance!”
Fei Zhong said softly.
Sure enough, when King Zhou heard this, he suddenly realized.
Yes, today's enemies are only the four major princes who have the strength to threaten my throne!
All of them are self-respecting, and they manage more than 200 small princes, large and small. They are very rich when they need soldiers, money and food!
"Your Majesty, Fei Zhong is right!"
Daji said.
"Well, that's right. In this case, Dong Bohou is indeed a big threat. How can we get rid of him!"
King Zhou asked.
"Your Majesty, I think we should get it done once and for all this time. Not only Dongbohou and Jiang Huanchu, but also Nanbohou E Chongyu, Beibohou Chonghou Hu, and Xibohou Jichang should all be called. Now the four major princes have come to court. Ge, the king can find any reason to kill them, but without the four major princes taking the lead, none of the smaller princes would dare to rebel!"
Daji said with a gloomy face.
When King Zhou heard this, he immediately felt that Daji was right!
Fei Zhong and You Hun couldn't help but shudder.
They looked at Daji with even more fear.
This bitch is not a good person!
How cruel!
He was able to come up with such a way to wipe out the four major princes in one fell swoop. Now, the great merchants may no longer be able to threaten King Zhou's status.
It’s not a wonderful idea!
"What the beauty said is really a clever plan! Haha, yes, yes, the king has now suddenly understood. Fei Zhong, you go and do it. Send four groups of people to the territories of the four major princes and tell them that the king wants to summon them. We have something important to discuss, which is related to the foundation of the entire Great Shang nation, so they must come immediately according to the order. No delay!"
King Zhou gave the order directly.
When Fei Zhong heard this, he nodded.
I hurried out to make arrangements.
Soon, four teams went out from Chaoge City and went to the territories of the four great princes in the east, south, west and north to deliver the decree.
