Especially when he noticed the Great Shang soldiers guarding him in the various marquises 'residences, he was certain of this.
"Earl, what should we do now? Should we hurry back to Xi Qi, or…?”
Ji Chang's personal attendant asked anxiously.
Ji Chang heaved a long sigh.
"It's impossible for us to leave Chaoge now.”
"I'm afraid that the surroundings of the various marquises 'residences are already filled with people stalking them.”
Ji Chang bitterly shook his head.
When he came to Zhaoge, he had already expected that his plan would fail.
However, what he wanted to see the most was that nothing went wrong.
However, the result was not satisfactory.
Fortunately, he still came to Zhaoge after guessing this possibility. He wanted to exchange his death for Xiqi's safety.
In Ji Chang's opinion, as long as King Zhou killed him for treason, the crime of the entire Xi Qi could be offset.
At that time, Xi Qi could still use the nearly 300 dukes he had previously roped in and the help promised by the Chan School expert he had met not long ago to wait for an opportunity to deal with the dying Yinshang and take over the world!
However, what he didn't know was that Di Xin didn't intend to take his life.
.............
Three days later, in the main hall of the Royal Shang Palace.
When Di Xin sat down on his throne, he saw two rows of officials standing in the hall.
The leaders were Wen Zhong, Huang Feihu, and Shang Rong.
Outside the main hall, there were still a large number of dukes waiting to pay tribute. With the four dukes at the head, they were divided into four rows, and the moving heads extended all the way to the palace gates.
These dukes were all holding bamboo slips in their hands as tribute gifts.
Seeing this, Di Xin narrowed his eyes.
After today, the number of dukes outside the hall would decrease by at least 20%!
At this moment, a eunuch spoke.
"Summon the four great dukes into the palace!"
As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, the four figures standing outside the hall immediately entered the hall.
Other than Hou Hu and Hou Chong, who Di Xin had met before, the other three were not young either.
" Marquis of Dong Bo, Jiang Huanchu, Marquis of Nan Bo, E Chongyu, and…Marquis of the West, Ji Chang!"
Di Xin's gaze finally landed on Ji Chang.
Seeing that the other party was still calm, he could not help but have a playful expression on his face.
"Greetings to the king, congratulations on the eternal foundation of Great Shang.”
After his father-in-law, Jiang Huanchu, and Chonghou Hu paid their respects and presented the bamboo slips to the eunuch.
Di Xin looked at the bamboo slip that Ji Chang had given him and asked casually.
"Could it be that Marquis of the West is really congratulating our Great Shang for its eternal foundation?”
Hearing Di Xin's words, Ji Chang, who had his head lowered, felt his heart tighten.
He knew that King Zhou was going to make trouble!
"I... Naturally, I sincerely congratulate you."
Ji Chang braced himself.
The other three dukes and the people outside the hall couldn't help but glance over.
Other than E Chongyu, Marquis of Nan Bo, and many other small dukes who were on good terms with Ji Chang and knew a little about it.
Even though his father-in-law Jiang Huanchu, Hou Chong, Hou Hu, and the others didn't know much, they could vaguely guess what was going on.
Could it be that Wei Ziqi's poisoning and rebellion had something to do with…?!
Just as these dukes were secretly shocked, Di Xin's casual words caused many dukes who were on good terms with Ji Chang to tremble in fear.
"Your so-called sincere congratulations, could it be that you were helping Wei Ziqi and his wife to poison me and kill the emperor?”
Di Xin looked at Ji Chang and said.
Although he didn't emphasize his words, these seemingly casual words pressed down on the hearts of Ji Chang and many dukes like mountains!
Especially Ji Chang, who was facing Di Xin directly. He was sweating profusely.
He realized that King Zhou had really changed!
