MTL - What is It Like To Be Summoned As a Giant?-v2 Chapter 461 King Zhou continued the Shang Dynasty for two years
Chapter 461 King Zhou extended the Shang Dynasty for two years
Going to the court the next day, King Zhou came late, dressed in makeup, and all the officials were worried. Indulging in beauty and indulging in pleasure is not what Mingjun does.
Du Yuanmill, the Grand Master of the Sitian Supervisor, came out first, and said to King Zhou: "I have something to say, in order to protect the country and the people, calm evil spirits and eliminate demons, and use Longzong's social affairs: I heard that the country will prosper, and auspiciousness will appear; the country will perish. , evildoers must be born.
"I watched the dry elephants at night, and I saw that the strange fog was ominous, the demon light surrounded the inner hall, and the miserable atmosphere shrouded the deep palace. I thought: since Su Hu entered the noble family, your majesty has no discipline in the court, and the court case is full of dust. Dan Chi Xia Baicao Sprouts are sprouting, and the moss marks on the front of the imperial steps are green. The government is in chaos, and officials are disappointed. The ministers are hard to get close to the sky. Your majesty is greedy for beauty, and enjoys the day and night. The monarch and the ministers will not, like clouds cover the sun. When will I see Gengge happy? Rising up, goodbye to peace and prosperity?
"The minister did not avoid the ax and the axe, and risked his death to say, please put Su Guiren into the cold palace to rectify the court."
These words were impassioned, meaning that he watched the stars at night and found that Su Daji was a monster who subjugated the country, and wanted to harm the leader of the Shang Dynasty. It's all dusty.
This is of course an exaggeration, but it means this. In short, if you, King Zhou, don’t put Su Daji in the cold palace, you will definitely regret it.
King Zhou was angry in his heart. It is really abominable to describe himself as a foolish king. But he didn't let the left and right go forward to burn Du Yuanxian, but asked instead: "Du Yuanxiao, you are in charge of the Sitian Supervisor. About the song. What is the harvest this year?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Chaoge's 100 mu of fertile land can harvest 200 shi if the weather is good this year, and Chaoge's 10,000 mu of fertile land can harvest 20,000 shi." After all, Du Yuanxian is a loyal minister, and this kind of job is naturally clear.
"The answer is not slow, but last year there was a storm in Chaoge, and 22,000 stones were harvested. This year, the weather is good, but the harvest is less. How do you explain it?" King Zhou asked again.
"This..." Du Yuanmian couldn't answer.
At this point in the answer, all the court officials whispered and looked at Du Yuanxian with suspicion.
Du Yuanxian only felt wronged for a while. The harvest of farmland is affected by many factors. There is no chemical fertilizer available in this era, and it all depends on the fertility of the field itself. It does not mean that a good weather will guarantee a good harvest. After all, there are also factors such as insect pests, and the difference between the people who cultivate it. The difference of two to three thousand shi is really not an exaggeration.
But even if Du Yuanxian explained it this way, no one could understand it. Among the ministers present, except for him, few of them knew how to farm. They would only think like King Zhou. !
Du Yuanxian dared to slap his chest and say that he did not do this, but how could the farmers and tax collectors below be so clean. As long as someone wants to investigate, many illegal things will be found out.
At that time, it will be useless for Du Yuanxian to explain.
Du Yuanxian's forehead was dripping with cold sweat. He didn't expect King Zhou, who had always ignored farming affairs, to ask such a question, and he didn't know how to answer it for a while.
King Zhou did not continue to press, but comforted: "Master Du, I understand that there are so many things about government affairs that I can't cover them all. However, farming is the most important thing in the world, so you need to pay more attention to it."
Du Yuanxian was heaving a sigh of relief, but when King Zhou changed his tone, he continued, "Gu will not force you. When you can guarantee a year of good weather with Gu, you will be able to earn more than in a year of disaster. Let's discuss with Gu again." After all, who is indulging in pleasure and not doing business."
This remark is embarrassing. Just now Du Yuanxian said that King Zhou indulged in pleasure and neglected his duties. As a result, King Zhou rebelled against the general. If Du Yuanxian insisted, King Zhou would first punish him for malfeasance.
Situ Meibo saw that King Zhou's few words made Du Yuanxian retreat in shame, and he took off his hat of being a fool easily, so he took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. The early dynasty is the foundation of the country. Your Majesty is happy to go deep into the palace. Drinking and banqueting day and night, entertaining every night, ignoring government affairs, and not allowing remonstrance.
"I heard that 'the king is like the heart, and the ministers are like the brothers and feet'. If the heart is upright, the hands and feet will be upright, and if the heart is not upright, the hands and feet will be crooked. There is an old saying: 'The minister is upright and the monarch is evil, and the country is difficult to deal with." The ministers and others only want your majesty to be diligent in government affairs. Be obsessed with beauty. The minister is bold enough to ask His Majesty to demote Su Daji to the cold palace, so as to rectify the court. "
Mei Bo’s words have almost the same meaning as Du Yuanxian’s. If King Zhou continues to be obsessed with women, then the officials below may follow suit and ignore the government. From then on, it will be a catastrophe for the country.
King Zhou didn't get angry when he heard this, but just sneered and said, "Mei Bo, I thought that as a veteran of the three dynasties, you must have high opinions in the court. I didn't expect you to say such vulgar words! I have a word, All the gentlemen listen quietly.
"In the past, the late emperor traveled in the imperial garden and led all the civil and military men to enjoy the peonies. Because the Feiyun Pavilion collapsed a beam, the lonely beam was changed to save the late emperor, so he won the throne. He has been on the throne for eight years, and the people are happy. The four barbarians bowed their hands, the guests from all directions were served, and the princes of the eight hundred towns all ruled in the Shang Dynasty.
"Such a variety of things, if, as Mei Bo said, if the lonely gentleman's heart is not right, can he have the current appearance?
"Every winter, the people are harassed by snowstorms and displaced. Thousands of people freeze to death every year. Meibo, you are a Situ. How did you ever speak up for the people? You still need the prince to speak out and build Nanyuanfang. His pride will move God and protect thousands of Chaoge Common people. My son in Yinjiao is only ten years old, and he knows how to be sympathetic to the people. If the lonely king has a bad heart, can he raise such a child?
"Since the establishment of Nanyuanfang, Mei Bo, have you ever visited it? Have you ever thought about how to keep the people fed and clothed, so as not to be cold and hungry on the road? On the other hand, in temples such as yours, only the emperor's faults are discussed, but in everyone's home Beautiful wife and beautiful concubine, enjoying the glory, what face do you have to accuse Gu of indulging in beauty."
"Situ Meibo, you old man with a handsome head and a gray beard! What will you look like when you go to see the late emperor when you are a vegetarian?! If you have any sense of shame, then think about how to make the people of the world be like Nanyuanfang To be fed and fed!"
These words are just and righteous. King Zhou first brought up the matter of saving his life to save the emperor; The heavens also felt that he, the emperor, was able to govern the country well; in the end, coupled with the power of the grand master's victory in Beihai, everyone was immediately stunned.
You see, I sacrificed my life to save my father, and I am a filial son; I am a wise king who governs the country well; my sons know how to be considerate of the people, and of course I am also a loving father; , do you have any comments?
Mabel opened his mouth, but he couldn't utter a word of rebuttal. King Zhou wanted to take all the credit for these things on himself, and it would be too much for a courtier to argue with the emperor "this is our credit".
Besides being fooled by King Zhou, the ministers think about it and feel that it makes sense. The emperor has so many achievements, and everyone still blames the harem, isn't it too much?
It's also Tang Lin's fault, the demon fox Daji entered the palace too early, and Wen Taishi returned to the imperial court early, so she didn't have time to do any bad things. All the ministers wanted to find some faults with the fox demon Daji, but it seemed that they could only scold the king for being infatuated with women.
King Zhou's bragging and scaring blocked everyone's mouths.
After venting his temper, King Zhou immediately felt refreshed. It has been a long time since these veterans of the three dynasties were upset, they were relying on their elders to sell their elders. As expected, Immortal Li Huo gave good advice, and they were calmed down with just a few words.
From now on, if the court wants to make an admonition, first consider what credit you have made. If you can't do your job well, and dare to talk about the emperor, other people will use their noses to sneer.
King Zhou didn't realize that he was looking for a reason to continue to be a foolish king, but as a result, Du Yuanxian, the **** of Sitian Supervisor, was sent to study farming, and Situ Meibo was sent to promote heating stoves. What Mingjun did.
And when the early dynasty ended, all the sages felt that the Shang Dynasty originally had twenty-eight years of luck, but suddenly, it continued for another two years.
