Chapter 430: Sparkling Fire

In the Eight Scenery Palace of Shilong Mountain, Taishang, Yuanshi and Li Otakuan were sneakily discussing for a whole three months.

What have been discussed specifically, outsiders will not know.

Even the two bald saints of the Western Church who have been paying attention to this matter and have teamed up to peek at the secrets of heaven, they have not seen any name.

The only thing we can know is that these three brothers seem to part with each other in disagreement.

Because, secretly looking at the seizure, Zhunti two bald heads discovered that when the Yuanshi Tianzun and the Tongtian Sect Master came out of the Eight Scenery Palace, they seemed to look ugly. When they broke up and returned to the mountain, they didn't even say hello, but they just snorted heavily, and then set up the escape light and flew away.

Then, after nearly half a day, the old man, who was also gloomy, showed the Eight Scenery Palace with a gloomy face, set up a golden light, and flew straight to the Zixiao Palace in Tianwai.

When he came to Zixiao Palace, when the old man of Taishang returned the list of gods to the old earthworm Hongjun, the old earthworm's face looked like a seven-color rainbow, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, and various colors appeared alternately, which was really wonderful.

However, the names on the List of Gods were written by the three Taishang people with great magic power, and they seemed to have been recognized by the so-called List of Gods. Therefore, once this name is settled, even the pseudo-nature way of Hongjun Old Earthworm cannot be changed easily. If you want to do something more, it will cost a considerable price.

However, just for such a list of gods, it seems that it is a bit confusing to make the old earthworm Hongjun pay a big price.

"I shouldn't regret it! If I had known this, I would have made the decision to write it on myself, wouldn't it be enough? But now, alas..."

After measuring it repeatedly for a while, the old earthworm Hongjun sighed and said nothing, but only shook his hand and threw the God List back to the old man at the Supreme Court.

"At this moment, the person who is in luck has not yet been born, so this list of gods will be temporarily left to you! When the person who is in luck appears, you will come to the master to get another sacred weapon for the master and hand it over to the person who is in luck. Go!"

After saying that, the old earthworm Hongjun had a slightly slight combination of his eyes and became a master.

Seeing that the old earthworm of Hongjun did not get angry on the spot, the old man at the same time was also relieved. He also heard that the old earthworm of Hongjun temporarily handed over the list of gods to himself for safekeeping. The old man at the same time knew that the old earthworm of Hongjun had no objection, and this matter was basically done.

In fact, the old earthworm of Hongjun wanted to object.

But after thinking for a while, it seems that the Western religion is not closely related to its own fortune. If the Western religion can be brought into the List of Gods this time, it can also damage the Western religion's fortune and enhance its own fortune, so there is no longer any question.

The reason why he handed over the list of Gods to the old man at the Supreme Court was that when the old earthworm Hongjun saw the dense list of the list of Gods, he felt angry and his head was as big as a fight. He was afraid that he would be unable to help but tear it to pieces when he looked at it a few more times.

But the old man at the Supreme Man ignored the extremely entangled mood of the old earthworm Hongjun. Seeing that the trick was about to be sold, he did not talk much. He waved his hand and put away the list of gods, bowed to the old earthworm Hongjun, and then walked away quickly.

On the other side, after Li Otaku turned to Kunlun Mountain, he immediately held a family meeting and began to plan in full swing.

Let go of Li Otakuan and the four saints of the other three religions, as well as Hongjun Laodi, Haotian Child Labor and others to plan the battle to enthrone the gods, and only show the human race in the lower realm.

Speaking of which, after the Shang Marquis Zilu (also known as Zitang, also known as Shang Tang) destroyed the first slave dynasty, the Xia Dynasty, he used Xihao (now Yanshi, Henan) as the capital, and based on the original Shang tribe, the second slave dynasty, the Shang Dynasty.

Zilu took the wise ministers Yi Yin and Zhong Wei as the left and right ministers, and lighted labor and encouraged production. During the thirty years of his reign, the Shang Dynasty tribes developed greatly, and the ruling area expanded repeatedly. Even the rebellious and barbaric ethnic minority tribes such as Qiang and Di at that time also paid tribute to the Shang Dynasty, expressing their intention to surrender.

Although Zilu managed the Shang Dynasty in an orderly manner and flourished, but the age of life was perfect, Zi Tang died of illness after becoming an emperor for thirteen years.

After Zilu died, because his eldest son Tai Ding died early, Zilu's second son Wai Bing succeeded to the throne.

After being the emperor for three years, Wai Bing followed Zilu's footsteps and couldn't afford to get sick and die.

Then, the younger brother of Bing, Zhongren, succeeded to the throne. Zhongren also did not serve as the emperor for long. He made a full decision and had to travel the west for less than four years.

It seems that following the inheritance of Zilu's family and rumors in the world, this Zhongren also died of illness.

After Zhongren's death, at this time, Tai Ding's son, the eldest grandson of the first Shang prince Lu, finally grew up and officially took over the throne from his uncle.

Taijia succeeded to the throne and was the seniors of the four dynasties, the first prime minister of the Shang prince, Li Shi, and Yi Yin.

When it comes to Yi Yin, I would like to say a few words here.

Originally, when Prince Lu of Shang was still a prince of the Shang Ministry, he married a woman from the Youshen tribe. And this Yi Yin was a slave who was dowed by the Youshen clan to Shang Marquis, and was also a slave of the cook.

Yi Yin is also a talent for being a chef, because this guy founded the "Five Flavors Mixed Theory" and "Cooking Theory". To this day, these two sets of theories are still respected as the golden rules of the cooking world. Yi Yin himself is also respected as the "Cooking Ancestor" and the "Cooking Saint".

In addition, Yi Yin also extended a theory of governing the country through cooking methods, and thus was valued by the Marquis of Shang, Zilu, who ascended to the position of prime minister in one fell swoop, and assisted Zilu, establishing the five hundred years of foundation of the Shang Dynasty. He was also considered a first-class figure in the chef world.

At the same time, Yi Yin is also a political star who can be verified in history and is the first political star to take the "harem route".

Yi Yin's success was naturally due to the nepotism of the Youshen family, so he was able to make a soup for the son of Shang Hou, and then he had the opportunity to gain the appreciation of Shang Hou.

One of the most important links in the process of assisting Shang Hou to destroy the Xia Dynasty was that Yi Yin followed the path of Concubine Yuan Concubine Meixi, the most beloved concubine of King Si Lugui of Xia. By making friends with Meixi, Yi Yin obtained a large number of internal political, economic and military secrets of the Xia Dynasty, and rescued the Shang tribe in danger several times.

After the establishment of the Shang Dynasty, Yi Yin was the prime minister of the left and right with Zhong Wei, assisting the King of Shang.

Including Zilu, the first three emperors of the Shang Dynasty had a relatively short reign, and Yi Yin had a relatively long life span, until the fourth Shang King, Zilu's grandson Taijia succeeded to the throne, and Yi Yin was always the prime minister of the Shang Dynasty.

In order to strengthen the rule of the Shang Dynasty, Yi Yin proposed a complete set of relatively complete governance concepts during his reign as prime minister.

Yi Yin said, "Heaven is embarrassed, and his fate is not constant; he will always be virtuous and maintain his position. He will not be virtuous and will be virtuous, and nine will be destroyed."

The general idea is that God can't believe it, and that goddess of fate is not very reliable. Only by practicing virtue can you keep the throne. If not, even if you can rule Jiuzhou, you will sooner or later step down!

Therefore, "the god abuses the people, and the emperor will not protect them." He will look down on the gods and cruelly abuse the people. The emperor will not bless you!

Specifically, to "become the best and overcome the brightness and be loyal to the lower and become the boss, we must "only "belong to the best and keep the first and the beginning and the beginning and the future and change the future."

On this theoretical system, Yi Yin established the One Yuanshen Cult, proclaimed himself the Holy Leader, and promoted his theocratic concept of "seeking one virtue".

As a charlatan and a veteran of all dynasties, Yi Yin often regarded himself as the spokesperson of God's will, and educated Taijia, who had just entered adolescence, to do this and not that, etc.

He was fooled by the old charlatan Yi Yin every day, and Taijia felt that there seemed to be tens of thousands of flies flying in his ears every day.

After tolerating Yi Yin for two years, Taijia, the rebellious boy, finally could no longer bear it.

"I am a dignified emperor and a well-established emperor. What kind of horse you are, Yi Yin, thinks it will be great if you live for a long time? Have you never heard of the saying, 'I am a thief if I am old but not dead?'"

"Besides, even if you become the prime minister and become a charlatan, what's the point? In the root of it, isn't you just a slave? You really think you're just a will from God? You're just demolishing thatched house and building a building, and you're a stinky foundation!"

So, the rebellious young man Taijia made a great wish to fight Yi Yin, the old charlatan, to the end. If you say east, I will go west. If you ask to beat a dog, I will scold the chicken!

Didn’t you say that you want to do something about moral politics? I insist on killing people casually, so what can you do?

So, in the third year of his succession, Yi Yin became a little bit like Si Lugui (Xia Jie), acted recklessly and cruelly to the people, and made a good Shang Dynasty a mess, making a chaotic and full of complaints.

Yi Yin, the first old leader of the Yiyuan Shen Cult, and the chief prime minister of the Shang Dynasty, saw that this was not a solution, so he bloomed a lotus flower on his tongue, intending to conquer people with virtue and save Taijia, the lost little lamb.

However, Taijia, a kid, was determined to go against the old charlatan Yi Yin. The more Yi Yin advised him, Taijia became more and more aggressive.

"Phone! I can't cure you anymore! I'm an old fairy-like figure who stepped into the coffin with one foot. If I can't deal with you, a young man with puberty syndrome, then will my salt be eaten for nothing in the past years?"

He was angry by Taijia's rebellious behavior. The old charlatan Yi Yin deposed Taijia and exiled him to Tong Palace. As for the government affairs, Yi Yin himself handled it himself.

The so-called Tong Palace is the location of the grave of the first monarch of the Shang Dynasty, Zilu, that is, Zitang and Shang Tang. Of course, the two Shang Dynasty monarchs after Zilu were also buried here.

Although he is the king of a country, the tomb of Zilu is not much different from that of ordinary people. There is only a low palace in front of the cemetery, which is used for sacrifices, and there is only an old man who guards the tomb.

He was used to living the emperor's life with rich clothes and food, and his clothes were stretched out and his food was open. He suddenly ran to this cemetery to live a primitive social life. Taijia's entanglement was conceivable.

Fortunately, this old man in the door is a good psychological counseling expert.

I heard that Taijia was exiled because he violated the ancestral system. The old man guarding the tomb was very caring and patient, telling Taijia about Taijia's grandfather, the first generation of Shang prince Lu, and his glorious revolutionary deeds every day.

After three years of reminiscing about the bitterness and sweetness, feeling the great achievements of the revolutionary martyrs, and bathing in the sacred glory of the ancestors' sons, Taijia, a rebellious young man, finally repented and changed his past. He took grandfathers and sons as examples every day, and students did good deeds, helped widows carry water and split materials, helped the old lady cross the road, etc.

In short, in one sentence, Taijia, the lost lamb, finally walked back to the right path.

On that side, the old sage Yi Yin saw that Taijia finally began to be a good obedient child. He was very happy in his heart, so he led a group of civil and military ministers to Tong Palace in person, welcome Taijia back to the west of the capital, and solemnly returned the regime to Taijia.

Since then, Taijia followed the ancestral system, worked diligently and loved the people, and the Shang Dynasty was full of river crabs.

Yi Yin drove Taijia to Tong Palace, and then welcomed Taijia back, which has since become Yi Yin's reputation as "Da Ren" and "Da Yi" virtuous prime minister.

However, using ministers to chase the king and oppressing the king's power with divine power also laid a huge hidden danger for the demise of the Shang Dynasty.

With Yi Yin's reputation, the power of the Yi Yuanshen Cult was rapidly expanding. However, the subsequent leaders did not have "great benevolence and righteousness" like Yi Yin, but they always tried to reproduce the glory of the Yi Yuanshen Cult's divine power over the monarch's power. Therefore, for a long time afterwards, the struggle between the monarch and the divine power became a major social contradiction in the Shang Dynasty.

Taijia reigned for twenty-three years and died of illness.

Later, Woding, the son of Taijia, succeeded to the throne.

During Woding's reign, Yi Yuanshen Cult leader, the most outstanding charlatan of his generation, the founding minister of the Shang Dynasty, the prime minister of the Five Dynasties, and Yi Yin, the immortal, finally got rid of his hair.

After Yi Yin, the second right prime minister of the Shang Dynasty was named Ju Shan. This Ju Shan was also an old minister of the Shang Dynasty. Adhering to Yi Yin's policy, Ju Shan also helped Woding manage the Shang Dynasty very well.

Woding reigned for twenty-nine years, and after his death it was said that he was "passing the throne" by his younger brother Taigeng.

Tai Geng reigned for twenty-five years and died, and later passed away at his son Xiao Jia.

Xiao Jia reigned for 17 years and died, and his younger brother Yong Ji was established, who was the emperor Yong Ji.

Yongji reigned for twelve years, and after his death, he was passed down to his younger brother, Taiwu.

I would like to add a few sentences here. From the above inheritance, we can see that the inheritance of the Shang Dynasty was the result of the brother's death, the younger brother, and the younger brother and the younger brother.

The advantage of this inheritance method is that under normal circumstances, there will be no small emperor wearing open-crotch pants and biting a bottle. Therefore, generally speaking, there will be no situation where court officials have long occupied real power, or even reach the point where they are too big to bully the imperial power.

But the harm is also very obvious, that is, since brothers have the power to inherit the throne, the matter of the brother looking down on the wall becomes reasonable and justified.

From Zilu (Shang Tang) to Yongji, eight emperors were appointed in the past and after, for more than a hundred years, the social economy of the Shang Dynasty had developed greatly due to the strategy of Yi Yin's old charlatan to treat the people and governing the country with virtue.

However, things will turn back when extremes are achieved, and good and bad are dependent on each other. A comfortable life has also made the ruling class of the Shang Dynasty gradually become less enterprising and full of ambitions.

By the time the ninth emperor Taiwu succeeded to the throne, the decline of the Shang Dynasty had already begun to show signs.

When he took over the throne of his brother Yong Ji, Taiwu was still an adolescent boy.

At the beginning of his reign, Taiwu appointed Yi Yin's son Yi Zhi as prime minister.

Although a wise prime minister was appointed, Taiwu only knew how to be comfortable and enjoy, and did not cultivate political affairs. After seven years in power, the government became increasingly abandoned.

At this time, the phenomenon of "Sanggu coexisting in the court" occurred in the west of the capital (now Yanshi).

Fear comes from the unknown!
