Chapter 400 (1/2)

Li qiangqi said, ”what do you do with shells?” Just after saying this, he woke up: ”in the Shang Dynasty, the currency in circulation was shells, and the role of seashells is the same as the current RMB.” So he immediately nodded: ”well, you go to prepare some seashells to take with you, in case you spend on the road.”

Although Bian Ling was puzzled in her heart, since the king had given her order, she naturally had to abide by it, so she took a bag of seashells.

At this time, the eunuch brought a man who was about thirty years old. He was not tall and looked mediocre. He was wearing a gray robe. He knelt down respectfully and said, ”minister Fei Zhong, please come to see the king!”

Li Qiang knew this man. He was a famous treacherous minister around King Zhou. He was favored by King Zhou. He had many bad ideas and had a bad reputation in history. Li Qiang had a bad impression on this man, so he said coldly, ”what can I do for you? If you have something to say, I have other things to do. ”

Fei Zhong was stunned immediately because he was favored by King Zhou. He talked about almost nothing, and even could make decisions for King Zhou. However, he didn't know what happened today. The eunuch sent a message that the king was going to patrol in humble clothes and was going to leave soon. He came to ask him in a hurry. However, he was very embarrassed when he saw the king's cold look.

Seeing Fei Zhong kneeling there, Li Qiang asked, ”why don't you go? Is there anything you want to tell me? ” Fei Zhong had no choice but to say, ”now that the princes of the 72nd route of Beihai revolt, they heard that the grand master had been ordered to go to the war, and the victory or defeat was still unknown. There were still a lot of important things to do in the imperial court. The king had to go out in humble clothes at this time, for fear that it would be inappropriate. In this critical autumn, everything should be handled carefully. The king should learn from the words from the heart of the minister.”

Li Qiang saw that Fei Zhong had a good speech. He didn't look like a glib person. He thought, ”isn't that Fei Zhong in the book the same as the one in front of him? He doesn't look like a traitor now

Seeing that Li Qiang was still staring at him, Fei Zhong couldn't help but get angry and thought to himself: ”what's the matter with the king today? He's always moody and murderous. Has he any prejudice against me and wants to kill me?” But listen to Li Qiang said: ”you get up first, I want to ask you a few things.” Fei Zhong took a breath to himself, stood up and tried to calm down: ”the king wants to know what things, as long as the minister knows, he must tell them all.”

Li Qiang asked, ”is there any movement in Jichang now?” On hearing this, Fei Zhong secretly picked up his thumb and said, ”the Xibo Marquis Jichang has a wicked heart. Many people know this, but no one dares to mention it to the king. Now when he opens his mouth, he directly talks about it, which shows that the emperor is wise and powerful, and has already been open to the matter.”

Fei Zhong came to Li Qiang, and said in a low voice, ”my king, I have heard some news. Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo, has been preparing for war in recent years. I'm afraid it will change sooner or later.”

Li Qiang nodded and thought, ”of course I know that old guy is going to rebel. TV dramas and novels have been performed countless times.” He said to Fei Zhong, ”you should pay close attention to this person in the future. No matter what happens, you should report to me at any time without delay.” Fei Zhong said: ”the king seems to have known something about Jichang?” Li Qiang said: ”although I live in the palace, I also know the things outside. If there are too many people, the team will not be easy to take. Each of the four grand princes is not an oil-saving lamp. Sitting in this position is like sitting in a volcanic crater. It's not easy.”

In fact, his words were a spectator's evaluation of King Zhou. However, Fei Zhong was shocked to hear that, because the former king was just brave and ruthless, and even cruel. To deal with such a king, Fei Zhong didn't find it hard, because to deal with such a simple and crude person, he would be able to protect himself by taking advantage of what he liked However, Wang seems to be a completely different person. He is not only thoughtful, but also has a thorough analysis of the situation of the imperial court. He is basically a wise and wise monarch.
