Although Ji Chang was sad about the death of his eldest son, he also clearly knew the gap between the strength of Xiqi and the Shang Dynasty, so he could only bury the hatred in his heart, and constantly recruited talented people to help him expand his strength, people's instincts are to seek advantages and avoid harm, especially for those who have talents, when the Shang Dynasty is in the middle of the day, everyone is naturally unwilling to easily show their attitude and bring unnecessary losses to themselves.
Xi Bohou was thirsty for talents but there were very few able people he could recruit, although Ji Chang was extremely anxious in his heart, but there was still nothing he could do in the face of the status quo, so in the blink of an eye, a few years passed, during which the rule of the King of Qiu became more and more brutal, the pressure on the princes became more and more intense, and everyone gradually felt overwhelmed, so the Marquis of Dong bohou would gather all the princes and say, I am ready to go and advise the king to correct his mistakes, and everyone rushes to advise, but Jiang Huanchu said that if the monarch has a wrong courtier, he will not be loyal. Moreover, I am the father-in-law of the king, and I should be advised.
In these aspects of the Eastern Expedition to the West, Chaoge City destroyed countless princes, and the subjects of those princes all became slaves of the Shang Dynasty, seeing that there were more and more people in Chaoge City, the King of Qiu may not be deeply worried, because the grain and grass in his city were not enough to feed more and more people.
Fei Zhong saw this and said in the book, why didn't the king let people supervise the construction of a high platform, so that it could be used to show the majesty of the king, second, it could also show the strong national strength of the Shang Dynasty, and third, it could also continuously consume efforts to ensure the normal operation of the Chaoge City.
The king asked the reason, Shang Rong said that these slaves did not all obey, let them build high-rise buildings must send more soldiers to supervise, so that it is not good for the outside world to fight, second, so many people gathered in Chaoge City, it is easy to break out of turmoil, and these years the Shang Dynasty in the continuous conquest of soldiers replenishment is extremely difficult, so it should rest with the people, let everyone return to this is the long-term solution.
Fei Zhong said that although Shang Rong's strategy is very good, but the time needed to pay is too much, the Shang Dynasty has been constantly fighting foreign wars over the years, it has long been four extinctions, many princes are looking at the king, if the king stops the pace of expansion, it will inevitably trigger their counterattack, the reason why the Shang Dynasty has been victorious over the years is because of the accumulation of great power throughout the years, if the consequences of interruption can be imagined.
When king Huan heard this, he hurriedly stopped Shang Rong, who still wanted to advise, and said, so he did what Fei Zhong said, as a king, he knew that he could not show cowardice, otherwise it would be a disaster, but considering that what Shang Rong said was also reasonable, he said to Fei Zhong that those slaves should be taken care of.
Fei Zhong received this order and understood in his heart that this was the King of Zhou who wanted to exterminate the slaves himself, and the king had ordered his subjects to be disrespectful, so Fei Zhong pondered and established strict orders to manage these people, and for a while there was a lot of complaint in the song city, but under pressure everyone could only choose to be patient.
Shang Rongbi saw this and hurriedly advised, but he ignored these words, because the king knew that he had no way to retreat, although relaxing the order could ease the contradictions between them, but his own majesty was bound to be damaged, such a result was not conducive to the ruling princes, and the continuous efforts to reach the song were really helpless.
Under the severe persecution of Fei Zhong, the tall building was finally built, and the king of Lu saw its grandeur, and immediately gave it the name of the star building, and at the same time clearly and unequivocally declared his ambition, but for the tall buildings soaked with countless blood and tears in writing, the ordinary people naturally did not have much love.
