Chapter 156 (1/2)
”Your Majesty, the North Sea has reported that the grand master has succeeded in calming the chaos!”
Bigan opened a scroll of bamboo memorials. After looking at it, he suddenly said with great joy: ”the rebellion of the princes of route 72 has been ended, the rebel minister yuan Futong has been ambushed and killed, and the grand master will return to the dynasty in a few days.”
Hearing the speech, not only Bigan was very happy, but even the other officials were shocked and excited.
When King Zhou above heard this, a wisp of fine light flashed in his eyes as he dozed off.
”Yuan Futong...”
Thinking of this man, King Zhou began to sneer.
Yuan Futong was one of the northern Bo Marquis of Beihai and one of the princes under the rule of Chonghou tiger. After years of development, his power has been close to a big vassal all the way.
Yuan Futong himself was also one of the top 18 generals in the world because he was born with martial arts and was brave.
Thirteen years ago, it was yuan Futong who first jumped out and led the 71 princes of the North Sea to pull the flag and gather people to revolt.
And he believed that Yuan Futong was not the only one who coveted the throne and wanted to rebel.
Remember, he didn't pretend to be dazed and incompetent at that time.
But the old foxes were too cunning and calm, so they didn't jump out, and Yuan Futong couldn't calm down, which naturally became a pathfinder for the old foxes.
So he sent minister Tuogu, who was both civil and military, and the grand master Wen Zhong led his troops to the North Sea to calm the rebellion.
At the same time, he came up with a plan to pretend to be a confused king, hide his power and bide his time, find Daji to enter the palace and kill two of the four princes to deter the curfew
Finally, he was relieved to practice martial arts.
”Congratulations, your majesty. The world is awed and subdued by the heavenly army.”
When King Zhou was in a trance, a sound of congratulations suddenly pulled him back. At the sight of the hall, Fei Zhong smiled and went out to congratulate him.
”Well, the teacher's success in fighting the rebellion is indeed a great joy.”
King Zhou nodded, laughed and said, ”come here, give a banquet in Feiyun hall. I want to have a drink with all the princes and go down.”
Then he took people to the back hall.
The courtiers' smiles gradually turned into bitter smiles.
Shen Gongbao opened his eyes, Bigan and two civil servants came over and said with a bitter smile, ”national teacher, look at this... Alas!”
Then Bigan sighed helplessly, filled with deep disappointment.
Shen Gongbao recognized the two men. One was Xia Zhao, the next doctor, and the other was Sun Rong, the last doctor.
These two people are also loyal and good officials to Cheng Tang. They have an excellent relationship with Bigan, so they know each other like this.
”Yaxiang, there are two adults. Don't worry. It wasn't built in a day. It wasn't built in a day.”
Shen Gongbao opened his mouth and said, ”if you want the king to take charge of government affairs, we need to do it step by step. I'll try again next.”
Bi Gan said, ”thank you, national teacher.”
”Rome wasn't built in a day...”
The two doctors pondered and tasted these two words. At last, they looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Sun Rong said with admiration: ”the talent and knowledge of national teachers really deserve their reputation. If you open your mouth, you can say such philosophical words.”
”Where, where, just gossip. Lord Sun is over praised!”
Shen Gongbao modestly waved his hand, but in fact, it naturally came from Lu Chuan, but it was plagiarized by a master.
King Zhou left, but the ministers could not go.
They had to wait in the temple until King Zhou arranged a banquet for them.
Shen Gongbao and Bigan exchanged greetings for a while. Soon, an official came to report that the banquet in Feiyun hall was ready. Please accompany the ministers.
King Zhou led Daji on the. Shen Gongbao sat on the left. The second seat was Bigan and opposite was Huang Feihu.
Vocal music is played in unison, palace maids offer dances, and monarchs and ministers push cups to change lamps.
Soon it was night, and King Zhou ordered people to turn on the lights and continue.
”What should I say about the apprentice getting an official!”
