Chapter 294 Anxious Bo Yikao Hongmen Banquet!

The four princes and the princes and kings of the Eight Hundred Towns each came to the post house with their entourage. In order to avoid suspicion, the four princes and kings did not meet, but communicated through letters to unify the camp.

Anyway, they had only one purpose for coming this time, and that was to congratulate Emperor Xin.

Except for congratulations, no matter what Di Xin proposed, the four princes ignored or agreed.

As soon as Ji Chang settled in the post house, the residence of Xibohou, his eldest son Boyikao came to visit him.

"My son Boyikao pays homage to his father."

Boyikao bowed respectfully to Ji Chang.

Ji Chang asked, "What can happen to my son?"

There was a touch of fire in Boyikao's eyes, "Father, Dashang Internal Medicine has the magical tool for cultivating the land, the curved shaft plow, the method of refining sugar, the method of refining salt, and the manufacturing process of that white paper. We finally came up with it." As a great businessman, why not try to obtain the manufacturing methods of these kinds of magical objects?”

When he was in Xiqi, Boyikao was deeply aware of the changes brought by these magical objects to Xiqi.

Blank paper has improved the efficiency of handling government affairs by an unknown amount.

The work that originally took three hours can be done in half an hour.

The white paper is light, easy to use and store.

As long as you use it once, you will become addicted and never want to go back to the days of using bulky bamboo slips.

As long as the white sugar and table salt, which are as pure as frost and snow, are worth one tael and one gold, they are expensive and are truly top-notch resources.

These key things can only be used if Dashang masters the refining method. Xiqi spends a huge amount of wealth every year to buy them from Dashang.

Boyikao was heartbroken. After his father died, these were all his wealth.

If you take advantage of this opportunity to congratulate the great merchant, when there are many people and confused eyes, you can get all the manufacturing techniques of these sacred objects in your hands.

It is a huge resource, better than thousands of troops.

After hearing what Boyikao said, Ji Chang flatly refused without any hesitation.

"You think too simply. These manufacturing methods are all top secrets of Dashang. Even my father and I can't find out about the details of Dashang. Just based on the few days we have been in Dashang, If you want to get it, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky, and there is almost no possibility of success. Don’t think about it anymore.”

"Yes, I understand."

Boyikao nodded unwillingly. Although he had no choice but to accept it.

He has a deep understanding of his father's hexagram skills, and they are extremely effective. If he really wants to confront him, he will never get the favor.

After a while, Ji Chang asked when he saw that Boyi still refused to give up.

"Tomorrow is the day of congratulations. Why don't you go down and rest?"

Boyikao hesitated to speak, his face reddened, and he hesitated for a long time before saying, "Father, I heard that the Marquis of Jizhou, Su Hu, has also come, and I also asked my father to invite the Marquis of Jizhou to come as a guest."

Xibo Hou Jichang and Su Hu were good brothers when they were young. Their wives were pregnant at the same time, so they decided to marry each other. If they were both boys, they would become brothers. If they were both girls, they would become sisters. If they were both boys, they would become sisters. If they were both boys, they would be sisters. Be a blessing.

Later, Su Hu gave birth to Su Daji, and Ji Chang gave birth to Boyikao. Although one was in the west and the other was in the north, they were far apart.

Although they didn't meet many times, the two of them still had a deep relationship because they sent messages through flying pigeons and exchanged information.

Ji Chang was so scheming that he immediately understood what Boyikao meant and smiled.

"What you said is a reminder to my father that it's time to put your marriage with Daji on the agenda."

After saying that, Ji Chang ordered the servants around him to invite Suhu, the Marquis of Jizhou. After a while, before the Marquis of Jizhou could see him, a hearty voice came over, "Brother, I planned to congratulate the great dynasty before I can have a good time with you." Reminiscing about old times, I didn’t expect that my old brother would ask for an invitation.”

The Marquis of Jizhou was an eight-foot-tall black man with an iron tower, thick hair, and a rugged face.

After he sat down, he picked up the tea on the desk and drank it in one gulp.

After drinking all the tea, Su Hu saw Boyikao standing aside, "Hey, the eldest nephew is here too?"

Boyikao hurriedly greeted him, "My nephew Boyikao pays homage to my uncle."

"We are all a family, why should my eldest nephew be so polite?"

Su Hu quickly stood up, helped Boyikao up, and then looked at Ji Chang with a smile, "Brother, you are so anxious to call me here this time, there must be something going on, right?"

The dignified Marquis of Jizhou is certainly not a brainless fool, but rather a rough and tumble man.

"It's not like my family, Yi Kao, is vying to see you."

Ji Chang pointed to Boyikao.

"Oh? Yikao? If you have anything to do, just tell your uncle. If your uncle can handle it, he won't refuse."

Boyikao's face turned slightly red and he told Su Hu what he was thinking.

Su Hu slapped his head and said, "Look at my brain, how could I have forgotten such an important thing? Thanks to the reminder from Yikaoxian Nephew, the age of the two of you has indeed reached the time to get married. You asked Daji’s thoughts?”

Su Hu asked.

Boyikao said quickly, "I often correspond with Daji, and Daji is naturally willing."

"In that case, that's great. After you congratulate the great dynasty this time, you can lead your people to come to Jizhou City to propose marriage."

Su Hu is both rough and subtle. Among the four princes from the east, west, south and north, Xiqi is the strongest.

Being able to marry Xiqi and marry each other is the best of both worlds.

Boyikao was overjoyed, and his whole body trembled slightly, "My nephew thanked my uncle, oh, no, father-in-law."

Although he has not met Daji in recent years due to geographical location, he has heard that Daji has become more and more beautiful in recent years and is known as the most beautiful woman in Jizhou City. He spent so much money on the exam. After a long time, the important thing is to embrace the beauty.

Early the next morning, the four princes from the east, west, south, north, and eight hundred towns went to Longde Hall to congratulate them.

In the Longde Hall, the four great princes and eight hundred small princes slowly walked into the Longde Hall. When they saw the high and majestic Emperor Xin, they couldn't help but feel shuddered in their hearts and hurriedly knelt down and worshiped.

"My ministers Jiang Huanchu, Ji Chang, E Chongyu, and Chonghou Hu led eight hundred princes to pay homage to the king. They respectfully wish the king good health and long life. I wish that the Great Shang Dynasty can be inherited for thousands of years and hang high in the nine heavens like the great sun. Above, illuminating hundreds of millions of people.”

Emperor Xin was sitting on the throne, listening to the congratulations of the four great princes, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he waved his hand and said, "Everyone who has come from afar, please stay safe."

After saying that, he glanced sideways at Fei Zhong, with a confused look, "Why don't you give seats to the princes?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Fei Zhong and You Hun quickly ordered people to bring chairs. After all the princes took their seats, the next step was to give congratulatory gifts.

Of course, the four major princes and kings plus the eight hundred princes were too many people, so we only selected a few dozen representative gifts.

As the rare treasures were presented one after another, Fei Zhong and You Hun were so happy that they wrote furiously beside them to record them.

Soon, the treasure offering session was completed, and with Emperor Xin's order, the banquet began, and plates of delicacies were presented to the princes and kings.

The banquet started, and the delicacies and palace wines immediately made the atmosphere lively.

The princes and princes held up their wine glasses and presented them to Emperor Xin one cup at a time. Emperor Xin took all the orders and drank them all in one gulp.

Seeing that Emperor Xin was so generous, the wariness in the hearts of the princes and kings was reduced a lot. It seemed that this was a normal greeting, and there was no conspiracy in it. (End of chapter)
