Chapter 51: The Scarlet Star Tower


Bigan talked eloquently in the hall, while everyone in the hall was silent and thinking.

Emperor Xin's faults were listed one by one, including not using noble relatives and lords, but giving priority to fugitive ministers and villains, disrespecting ghosts and gods, being addicted to alcohol and lust, and being so happy with his achievements.

But everyone knew in their hearts that Di Xin had only one real fault.

All the above twists and turns can be attributed to one point, which is that Emperor Xin violated the power and interests that were originally scattered among the royal family branches and even the witch, animal husbandry and priesthood.

Especially recently, Emperor Xin took advantage of the Eastern Expedition to issue a new edict.

This time, the autonomy of the fiefs and feudal states within the royal territory will be consolidated.

The militia will be permanently under the management of the Eastern Expedition Camp, and the money and food for raising the troops will be But for the time being, each fiefdom has to be sealed off from the country.

Before the Eastern Expedition, the princes, nobles, clans and common people still expected to gain rights and interests from the newly conquered lands.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Xin did not entrust any of these newly conquered territories, but instead had to take back the rights and interests from the old land of Wang Ji.

As a young master of the imperial court and an uncle of the king, Bigan saw the dissatisfaction of the nobles and took the opportunity of his birthday banquet to organize this party.

After Bigan finished his long speech, someone in the hall already said loudly: "Uncle Bigan, please tell me what to do.

As long as it is reliable, we will follow you."

Many people also echoed, but some people were still silent.

Silent.

Everyone thought that Bigan would propose a way to abolish the throne of Emperor Xin and establish a new king.

Unexpectedly, Bigan said something unexpectedly: "No matter how bad the king is, he is still the king of my country, Shang.

We, as ministers, must not do such rebellious things as seeking power and usurping the throne."

When everyone was confused, he continued: "However, we can follow the example of Yi Yin, the founder of the Shang Dynasty in Dayi, who exiled the late king Taijia.

We will exile the king to one place, and then return the power to him after he repentes."

Only then did everyone suddenly realize.

Another person said loudly: "After the king is exiled, who will preside over the affairs of the court?"

Bigan stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word.

At this time, Jizi shouted: "Of course Uncle Bigan should be the regent."

Everyone agreed in unison.

At this time, Wei Zi asked doubtfully: "Then how should we act?

The king has a personal guard around him, and Chaoge also has a standing army of 10,000 elites from the left, middle and right divisions."

Bigan smiled and said: "Of course I have a way to make the tiger leave the mountain."

It was another night when the moon and stars were scarce.

The Bigans and others led a team composed of servants and servants, each holding a bronze sword and stick, and broke into the Star-Zhaing Tower of Chaoge Palace.

The three divisions on the left, center and right were transferred out of Chaoge by forged military orders as planned.

Although Di Xin's personal guards were brave and elite, their number was small after all, not to mention that the people on duty today were all replaced by his trusted subordinates.

Bigan led a large group of people to the Star-Zhaing Tower without any hindrance.

Bigan asked everyone to guard in front of the building, and then went up to the Star-Zhaing Tower with several close friends.

Two dozen strong soldiers led them Sticks and ropes followed, and these soldiers were prepared in advance to select the best of the best.

"Why did Uncle Bigan come here late at night?"

Di Xin didn't seem to be alarmed by Bigan's late night visit.

"I respectfully invite your Majesty to come out of the palace."

"What are you doing out of the palace?"

"Your Majesty, please move to Youli to think about your mistakes behind closed doors."

"This is going to imprison one more person," Di Xin said with a sneer.

Emperor Xin shouted: "Where are the guards?"

But no one responded.

Bigan winked and led all the ministers to kneel down and said, "I respectfully ask your Majesty to leave the palace and move to Youli to shut up and reflect on your mistakes."

He called three times in a row, but saw no response from Di Xin.

Bigan sighed, winked at the more than 20 strong soldiers behind him, and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude."

The soldiers all stepped forward, holding sticks and ropes to surround him.

Di Xin dropped the wine jue in his hand, and suddenly it rose up.

He touched it behind the tent and found a long halberd in his hand.

With a "whoop" sound, he swung the halberd with great force to create a full moon.

The tip of the halberd passed between the necks of several soldiers, and finally the sword blade on the halberd struck the head of a soldier.

Then he stabbed out the halberd and pierced the chest of a soldier.

After returning the halberd, he swung it back behind him.

The blade of the halberd hit the soldier's Tianling cover without any bias, and the red and white thing was on the spot.

It splashed in all directions and hit the clothes of several ministers.

This series of actions only happened in two or three breaths.

At this time, there were three corpses on the ground, one with a smashed head, one with a stabbed chest, and one with a split head.

There were three other people holding their necks, making indistinct sounds in their throats, blood gurgling out from their fingers, and then they collapsed softly on the ground.

While the ministers were frightened, Emperor Xin danced his halberd wildly and killed four soldiers in a row.

At this time, let alone the ministers, the remaining soldiers were also suffering from liver and gallbladder injuries, so how could they dare to step forward.

They were only used to deal with the unarmed Di Xin, and the weapons they brought were only sticks.

Now they went to the toilet to light a lamp and look for shit.

When Bigan saw something bad, he ran away downstairs.

How could Di Xin let him go?

He straightened up his halberd and stretched it over his shoulder, placing the sword in front of Bigan's neck.

Di Xin's original intention was to force Bigan.

Unexpectedly, Bigan had already stepped onto the steps with one foot.

In panic, he missed the step and rolled his body downstairs.

However, his head was left behind by the blade on the halberd, and his body and head were separated.

The soldiers were too afraid to fight.

Seeing that Bigan was dead, they dispersed and ran downstairs.

Several ministers also wanted to run, but their legs and feet no longer obeyed.

At this time, Di Xin was furious.

Ignoring their kneeling and pleading, they picked them up one by one and threw them downstairs.

The people waiting downstairs heard a fight taking place above and wondered what had happened.

When they saw the soldiers running out in shock, they learned that Bigan, the "leading brother", was dead.

Then, with the sound of "crackling" bones and flesh shattering, I saw large living people falling from the sky one after another.

Their bodies were shattered into pieces, and their flesh, blood and brains were scattered everywhere.

Everyone was so frightened that they dispersed in a flash, went home, packed up their belongings and ran away.

From early morning to sunset the next day, soldiers from the three divisions on the left, center and right ran back and forth on Chaoge Street.

Prison vans carrying prisoners kept passing by Chaoge Street.

Jizi, Weiziqi and others who participated were also imprisoned.

When the news reached Huayi, it was already five days later.

Hua looked at the slips sent by Xia's envoy to Chaoge and shook his head repeatedly.

He knew that Dashang was in danger.

For an empire like Shang, it was not enough to be surrounded by strong neighbors, but internal disintegration was fatal.

Bi Gan and others are easy to get rid of, and they can be eliminated from top to bottom, from the internal officials of the Chaoge court, to the male guards of small towns within the royal territory, and then to the heads of fiefs and feudal states inside and outside the royal territory.

With so many royal nobles and nobles, can common people's clans be removed?

Who will replace them after they are removed?

Among the poor and humble, people like Fei Zhongfeilian were in the minority after all, and among them, those who could be trusted and used by Emperor Xin were only a minority among the minority.

If we can't get rid of these people and we have to deprive them of their rights, can they be of the same mind as Di Xin?

Emperor Xin's plan to replace traditional clan feudalism with centralization of royal power was too forward-thinking.

This was an era of sparse population and backward productivity.

He did not have the conditions that a thousand years later, Fei Lian's thirty-sixth generation grandson Qin Shihuang did.
