Although the main purpose of Di Xin and Grand Preceptor Wen Zhong's double act this time was to prevent Xi Qi from redeeming Ji Chang.
However, the hangover felt and the Seven Fragrance Carriage were indeed rare treasures.
Especially the Seven Fragrance Carriage. It was not difficult for Emperor Xin to notice that the rare treasure used by Human Emperor Xuanyuan to conquer Chi You had the blessing of the Merit when Human Emperor Xuanyuan became a Sage.
Although it didn't seem as practical as his Six Treasures Golden Dragon Carriage, this kind of rare treasure with merit enhancement had an extremely unique effect.
That was, it could be used to block disasters for others.
For example…The ambush of the Nail Head Seven Arrows Book!
Although Di Xin had the Yellow Emperor Scripture and could obtain merits from the people's hearts at any time, he was not afraid of Daoist Lu Ya's Nail Head Seven Arrows Book.
However, the other people from Great Shang had no way to resist.
Therefore, when Bo Yikao sent such a rare treasure to him, Emperor Xin naturally welcomed it.
However, on the surface, he frowned.
"Bo Yikao, now that things have come to this, I have already shown mercy by not punishing you. You are still in the hall. Do you have anything else to say?”
Di Xin looked at Bo Yikao with a guess.
Then, he heard Bo Yikao answer nervously.
"Your Majesty, I do have something to say.”
"Although this treasure has angered the emperor, Xi Qi's intention to submit to Great Shang is not fake.”
"As the eldest son of Marquis of the West, I am willing to stay in Zhaoge as a hostage to atone for my father's sins.”
Bo Yikao said sincerely.
Although he didn't find anything strange about the treasure, it wasn't hard to guess that this king and the people in the imperial court would not easily agree to let his father Ji Chang go back to Xi Qi.
Therefore, Bo Yikao directly took out his last bargaining chip, supplemented by the words of benevolence and filial piety.
However, upon hearing his words, Wen Zhong, Huang Feihu, and many other officials sneered in their hearts.
Naturally, they did not believe the nonsense of 'Xi Qi's loyalty to Great Shang is not fake'.
If he waited until Ji Chang had a chance of returning to Xi Qi, he would probably immediately rebel against Shang.
This made them look at Di Xin.
Bo Yikao and San Yisheng also felt their hearts sink as they looked at him.
Just when everyone thought that the king would not agree, Di Xin unexpectedly nodded and said.
"I can agree to your atonement on behalf of my father.”
Many ministers were shocked by Di Xin's words. Bo Yikao, however, was delighted when he heard Di Xin's words change again.
"However, you can't atone for your sins.”
"Since Xiqi is so sincere, how can I be unkind? I'll let you, the eldest son of Marquis of the West, be a hostage in Zhaoge. If something happens, I'll be in an unjust situation.”
"Go back to Xiqi and ask Ji Fa, the second son of Marquis of the West, to come to Zhaoge as a hostage.”
Di Xin said meaningfully.
Hearing his words, except for Wen Zhong whose eyes flashed, many other ministers and Bo Yikao became puzzled.
After all, the status and importance of the eldest son and the second son were worlds apart.
Although Ji Fa was indeed very capable, he was still inferior to Bo Yikao, who was also a virtuous eldest son.
Now, why did the king ask Xiqi Yi Ji Fa to replace his eldest son Bo Yikao and atone for Ji Chang in Zhaoge?
"This... I accept your orders."
Although Bo Yikao couldn't figure out what was wrong with this, he had no choice but to accept what Di Xin had said.
Seeing Bo Yikao and San Yisheng leave the hall, Di Xin smiled in his heart.
He was sure that Ji Fa wouldn't come to Zhaoge as a hostage!
Even if Ji Fa agreed, those people from Chan School would probably not agree.
After all, Ji Fa was the person destined to make Xi Qi prosper.
If any accident happened, then Xi Qi's prosperity would disappear.
How could Chan School do such a thing?
One had to know that doing things according to the will of the heavens would often yield twice the result with half the effort, while doing things against the will of the heavens would instead yield half the result with twice the effort.
In this God Sealing Tribulation, Great Shang was the heaven-defying side!
Therefore, Di Xin naturally had to scheme more to seize the chance of survival in the killing tribulation!
