Journey to the heavens starting from the Conferred God - 437. Chapter 434

Di Xin noticed Fei Zhong’s expression of hesitation, frowned, and said, “Fei Zhong, you are a lonely confidant. Just say anything!”

Fei Zhong said: “Your Majesty, I would like to speak up! Now that your Majesty has been on the throne for several years, he seems to be in a stable position, but in fact there are still many old ministers who are dissatisfied! There is a way for the minister to solve this problem!”

Di Xin’s expression suddenly shook. He knew that Fei Zhong had always been cautious and never said anything that would offend him or be unsure. Now that he said that, it meant that Fei Zhong really had an idea.

Nowadays, in the Great Shang Dynasty, there are not many courtiers that Emperor Xin can trust except for Huang Feihu, his father and son Fei Lian Elai, and Fei Zhong, who had been subdued during the prince period, as well as Wen Taishi, a lonely minister.

Among the courtiers, some were the Xuanniao priests of the Dashang imperial family. These people were in charge of the rituals of offering sacrifices to ancestors and heaven and earth. When Emperor Xin succeeded to the throne, these priests presided over them.

In addition to the theocratic representatives of the priests, there are also Bigan, Weizi, Jizi who represent the royal family, and the prime ministers who represent the elders and important ministers…

Some of these people were very loyal to Dashang, but some of the courtiers surrendered to Emperor Xin on the surface, but secretly all sorts of favoritism, only knowing to dig the corner of Dashang to fatten their own fields.

Di Xin had great ambitions and wanted to stretch his ambitions. But the prerequisite for the grand plan is to completely conquer the officials and let them all do what they want.

Regarding this matter, Di Xin has been doing it, but the effect is relatively average.

Those so-called elders and loyal ministers don’t have so much trust in such a young man. He was a little bit repulsive of the reform plan mentioned by Di Xin.

Therefore, when Di Xin heard Fei Zhong’s words, he was immediately moved.

“What way, say it!”

Di Xin asked hurriedly.

Fei Zhong looked up at him and said respectfully: “The best way to win courtiers is to marry! Now there is only one queen in your majesty’s harem, which is a bit wrong!”

“In addition to the queen, the human emperor should also have the four concubines! With the four concubines, to win over important border towns such as the Jiuzhouhou, or the important ministers of the court, will be able to plump the wings of your majesty!”

Di Xin is not too keen on female sex, since he succeeded to the throne, except for the queen, there is not even a concubine, and he seldom strikes at the maids in the palace.

Until now, a few years later, only one prince was born in the palace. I have to say that Di Xin is far worse than Ji Chang, who has dozens of concubines and 100 sons!

“Marriage…”

Di Xin murmured a few words, feeling a little surprised. He doesn’t usually have much interest in female sex, so some lights are dark. Fei Zhong said that marriage is one of the best ways to pull in the relationship between monarchs and ministers. .

For example, Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu, although this person is a bit domineering, he often calls himself the head of the country in Donglu, but it is because of the support of Dongbohou that Emperor Xin has secured his position as the emperor.

Even now, many ministers of Chaoge regard Dong Bohou as a heavy minister supporting Di Xin. They usually look at Dong Bohou’s face, and their policies regarding the selection of talents and the release of slaves that Di Xin mentioned from time to time are just To say a few words that are neither right nor wrong, there is no large-scale right.

Of course, as Di Xin’s position became more and more stable, Dong Bohou’s role continued to diminish, and even because Dong Lu’s power continued to grow, he became the target of Di Xin’s desire to suppress.

“Marriage is okay, but the target of the marriage must not be an important minister like Sifang Bohou, otherwise, the marriage will make them bigger and bigger!”

Di Xin said after hesitating for a while.

Fei Zhong nodded hurriedly and said that he could propose a marriage plan, but he could not decide who to marry him, and he needed Di Xin to decide by himself.

“Four concubines, first of all, we must have the Huang clan! Feihu and I dated a brother, but he is too young, too little credit, hastily promoted will be controversial, if we marry the Huang clan, Feihu will be a relative. Come, Gu will be able to raise Feihu to a high position and take control of Chaoge’s military power for Gu!”

Di Xin began to think slowly.

“If the Huang clan controls the military power, the lonely person can suppress the officials and stabilize the local area. There are also three concubines who can be used to win over the Jiuzhou marquis who are located in the Quartet…”

“Hou Suhu in Jizhou and Hou Fengzong in Qingzhou are both good choices!”

Fei Zhong cautioned: “Your Majesty, in the opinion of the minister, Qingzhou Hou has been filthy with Dong Bohou, and it is enough to draw in normally, without using the means of marriage! What’s more, Dong Bohou is the father of the queen. If your Majesty accepts a woman from the Feng clan of Qingzhou as his concubine, Dong Bohou and the queen will definitely be dissatisfied!”

“It’s Hou Suhu in Jizhou. Jizhou’s power has recently become stronger and stronger, second only to Beibohou among the northern princes. Your Majesty can be the daughter of Nasuhu as a concubine…”

Di Xin nodded slightly, accepting Fei Zhong’s words deeply.

Indeed, Dongbohou is fighting with Qingzhouhou. At this time, his marriage with Qingzhouhou is undoubtedly announcing his support for Qingzhouhou, which will cause serious consequences.

“When the princes of the Quartet come to see you next time, you can find the opportunity to bring it up in the court!”

Di Xin immediately threw the matter to Fei Zhong and asked him to contact Jizhouhou.

Fei Zhong quickly took his command!

When Fei Zhong also retreated, Di Xin paced back and forth in the empty hall, standing still after a while.

“Stabilize the Chaoge and win over the princes! After these two things are done, the lone will be able to seize the power. At this time, I will promote the talents and clean up all the old guys in the hall of corpses!”

He kept thinking about future plans in his mind.

Emperor Xin is both civil and military, with extraordinary abilities, and the more capable people are, the greater their ambitions. He is not reconciled to just being an ordinary merchant emperor.

He wants to sweep the world, innovate humanity, and catch up with the achievements of the ancient three emperors and five emperors!

Twenty days later, Dong Bohou’s envoy finally arrived at Chaoge.

Empress Jiang lives deep in the harem and pays little attention to foreign affairs. Only now have I heard the friction between her father and Qingzhou Hou, especially when she heard that her father sent someone to say that the death of her younger brother Jiang Wenhuan was related to Qingzhou Hou. Is full of anger.

But she knew that based on this alone, without conclusive evidence, even Di Xin couldn’t send troops and horses to attack a prince to vent her anger for her husband.

So she resisted the anger, and brought the eldest prince Yin Jiao, who was only one or two years old, to often cry in front of Di Xin, asking Di Xin to send envoys first to let the Qingzhou Army withdraw from the realm of Donglu even if he did not send soldiers to support it!

She believes that as long as the Qingzhou army is withdrawn and Donglu is given some time to breathe, Edonglu’s background will return to normal soon, and there will be no suspense when it comes to crushing Qingzhou.

The queen and her son kept crying and complaining. After Di Xin persisted for a while, he finally let go and sent the doctor Yang Ren again to send him to Qingzhou for mediation.
