A bitter expression appeared on Ji Chang's face when he saw Su Hu, the former Marquis of Jizhou, step forward.
He knew that since King Zhou had already made things difficult for him, he would never give him a chance to defend himself.
Especially with Grand Preceptor Wen Zhong's Heaven's Eye Divine Power, he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.
"I plead guilty and am willing to die to thank the world.”
Ji Chang made up his mind.
At the same time, he directly crashed into the pillar in the hall, wanting to atone for his sins with his death.
In his opinion, according to the current situation, no one should stand up to stop him from asking for death.
As long as this was true, then Xi Qi would still have a chance to replace Shang and become emperor!
Just as Ji Chang was thinking about this, he suddenly felt a pain in his head and was kicked back to the ground.
"His Majesty hasn't even spoken about how to deal with him, and Marquis of the West is already so eager to die.”
"Could it be that he knows that it's difficult to live, and before he dies, he still wants to give the king a name of not being kind enough to his subjects?”
Huang Feihu, who was standing beside the pillar, stared at Ji Chang and said.
At the same time, he could not help but sigh in his heart.
"Your Majesty is indeed meticulous."
Before the morning court session, he had already received Di Xin's orders to stand near the palace pillar to prevent Ji Chang from seeking death.
He did not expect it to come true now.
Seeing that Huang Feihu had stopped Ji Chang from begging for death, Di Xin nodded in satisfaction.
If he really let Ji Chang die here to apologize, then he would have no reason to touch Xi Qi again.
If he continued to attack, people would think that he was not benevolent enough and was too ruthless.
At that time, the people's hearts, which had just changed, would very likely waver again.
Since Di Xin had already guessed this, he naturally wouldn't give Ji Chang the chance.
"Marquis of the West, you are heartless, but I cannot be unjust. Today, I will not kill you for the time being and will imprison you in Zhaoge.”
"Let's see if Xi Qi is like you, a person who only knows how to kill the king and rebel, but doesn't know how to be filial.”
Di Xin said unhappily.
Hearing his words, Ji Chang's heart sank to the bottom.
Obviously, King Zhou Di Xin planned to imprison him to contain the entire Xi Qi.
It was not difficult for him to imagine that with the news of the poisoning of the king being completely spread, not only would the reputation of benevolence that he had painstakingly built gradually fall like a mountain.
If Xiqi Zhongzhong didn't come to Zhaoge to save him and atone for his sins, he would be killed.
Then, it was very likely that the world would believe what King Zhou said and put on the name of a person who did not know the filial piety of the monarch and his subjects.
If he came to Zhaoge to atone for his sins, he would fall into King Zhou's trap.
Sensing this, cold sweat broke out on Ji Chang's back.
If it was before, he might have had the chance to die.
However, Huang Feihu's words, which he did not know if it was someone else's idea, had already blocked the possibility of him continuing to beg for death.
If he begged for death now, it could only mean that he had ulterior motives and wanted to frame King Zhou before he died.
At that time, he wouldn't be using death to atone for his sins and let Xi Qi recover his reputation. Instead, he would push Xi Qi into a bottomless abyss!
Ji Chang had only spoken a few words, but it was as if Xi Qi's throat had been easily grabbed by this Emperor of Shang. He could no longer speak.
E Chongyu, Marquis of South Count, and the other dukes who were on good terms with Ji Chang outside the hall instantly felt their hearts tremble.
After Ji Chang was escorted away by the Imperial Army, Emperor Xin turned his gaze to the Marquis of Nan Bo, E Chongyu, and the other dukes outside the hall.
As his gaze swept past, E Chongyu and the others felt their hearts tighten, and they lowered their heads with flickering eyes.
However, Di Xin didn't plan to let them go just like that.
"I learned from the Marquis of Jizhou, Su Hu, that there were several other dukes who participated in the rebellion of the Marquis of the West, Ji Chang.”
"However, due to Marquis of the West's anger, I can't remember exactly how many dukes they were.”
"I wonder which duke can remind me?”
Di Xin said as if he had really forgotten.
However, Marquis of South Count E Chongyu, Prime Minister Shang Rong, and the others could clearly see that this king had a meaningful smile on his face.
