Chapter 457 Anecdotes of Chaoge

Wen Taishi was still in charge, which was a major event in the entire Shang Dynasty, and it was a major event that shocked the earth.

This is not just because Wen Zhong was an old minister of the Shang Dynasty.

You should know that there were more than Wen Zhong, the old ministers in the Shang Dynasty, including Prime Minister Shang Rong, the Minister of the Son and the Emperor's Uncle Bigan, the Grand Tutor and the Emperor's Uncle Jizi, etc. Among them, Prime Minister Shang Rong was also an old minister of the three dynasties, with his disciples all over the court and the country, and his reputation was no less than Wen Zhong.

However, including Emperor Xin, there are also civil officials and military generals in the court, regardless of loyalty, treacherous, wise and foolish, but none of them are afraid of Wen Zhong.

Because, in Wen Zhong's hand, there was a whip given by the emperor to beat the king, which could beat the foolish king and the slander ministers.

You know, Wen Zhongke is also the teacher of Emperor Xin. Of course, this teaching is not about teaching the methods of cultivation, but about teaching the way to govern the country and ensure the country. With this level of identity as an imperial teacher, Wen Zhong is quite justified when he fights Emperor Xin, and moreover, Emperor Xin has no place to go to the wrongdoing.

As for the civil and military officials in the court, they are even more afraid of Wen Zhong.

Wen Zhong was the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty, and there is no need to say that he has a high position and a powerful position.

Although at this time, Wen Zhong was not the only Grand Tutor of the Shang Dynasty. Emperor Xin’s uncle, the famous sage of the Shang royal family, and Ji Zi, who was known as the first son of China, was also the Grand Tutor of the dynasty of this dynasty, Ji Zi was not as powerful as Wen Zhong.

Because Jizi is just a civil servant, while Wen Zhong is a man of both civil and military affairs. Although I have never heard of Wen Zhong as an immortal technique, his martial arts is definitely the best in this dynasty. As for the art of governing the country, he is also well deservedly second to none.

In addition, what made the court’s civil and military officials most admire and helpless was that Wen Zhong had no selfishness! It can be said that he had no selfishness at all, and he really served the big business wholeheartedly!

After years of hard work, although the Shang Dynasty was prosperous, Wen Zhong's private life could be said to be absolutely simple.

Wen Zhong seems to be in his decades, and he doesn't even take a wife, so he naturally has no children. Even the number of servants serving him in the family is no more than ten.

Wen Zhong's Grand Tutor's Mansion is quite large, covering an area of ​​hundreds of hectares. It was given by the former Shang Emperor Yi, so there is nothing to say about this. However, Wen Zhong's Grand Tutor's Mansion can be said to be a decoration. Apart from a martial arts field full of weapons, there is only Wen Zhong's residence, study, horse house and a few servants' side houses, and nothing left.

Whether it was the late emperor or the emperor Xin, they usually gave Wen Zhong a lot of land, slaves, gold, silver, jewelry, etc., but all of these wealth was transferred to Wen Zhong and given to his subordinates or to poor families. Even those slaves were given some money by Wen Zhong and restored their freedom. The result of this trouble was that the huge Grand Master Mansion had no money at all.

As the saying goes, a wall stands thousands of feet high, and a strong person will be without desire.

Faced with Wen Zhong's selfless dedication that was unfavorable to others, none of them admired the civil and military officials of the Da Shang Dynasty, regardless of loyalty or treacherous, they were insincerely admired.

Of course, in addition to admiration, the officials and workers of the Da Shang Dynasty were also quite confused.

Because, Wen Zhong is alone and his whole family is not hungry, but we slave owners all have families and careers. Even if they are not corrupt, they still have money to support their wives and children, right? Besides, no matter how poor we are, we have to maintain the dignity of being the big slave owner class, right?

Therefore, although Wen Zhong never asked the civil and military officials of the dynasty to serve the Shang Dynasty wholeheartedly, these ministers still felt that working with Wen Zhong, the honest official, was too great!

But everyone had no choice but to do this Wen Zhong! They were truly hopeless and hopeless eggs!

Therefore, Wen Zhong returned to the court, including Emperor Xin, and everyone in the court was confused. It was really intertwined with love and hatred, and he couldn't stop!

Just as everyone was nervous, Wen Zhong finally returned to Chaoge City.

On the first day Wen Zhong returned to the court, he pointed to the noses of the monarchs and ministers, and even took out the golden whip given by the former king and beat Emperor Xin and the civil and military officials of the court one by one. Even the old prime minister Shang Rong, who was already seventy-eighty and eighty years old and almost couldn't walk, was beaten several times and almost half to death. The worst thing was that Emperor Xin, who had already disfigured face, was beaten into a pig's head again, and it seemed that he had broken several parts of his body.

As for the reason why Wen Zhong got angry was very simple, that is, Emperor Xin and other monarchs and ministers were disrespectful to the human race's holy mother, Nuwa.

In theory, it should be Di Xin who is disrespectful to Nuwa.

But Wen Zhong doesn't care about these things. You ministers who know that the king has made a mistake but do not recommend them to each other, will all be jointly and severally responsible, so they will all be beaten.

It was not enough to beat these monarchs and ministers. Wen Zhong also made a request to ask everyone to find a way to pray for Nuwa's forgiveness, and said that they would not be able to obtain Nuwa's forgiveness in one day, and Wen Zhong would not attend court for a day.

In theory, if Wen Zhong does not attend court, these monarchs and ministers should be happy. After all, no one wants a bad star hanging above their heads, right?

But in fact, even if Wen Zhong did not attend court, as long as Wen Zhong was still in Chaoge, none of these monarchs and ministers dared to act rashly.

So, everyone went to Nuwa Palace honestly, and they also sculpted the three animals with gold bodies and a grand and heavy sacrifices. Moreover, Emperor Xin led the way to kneel outside Nuwa Palace, muttering constantly, as if praying for Nuwa's forgiveness.

However, it is obvious that this one, which has been late for several years and seems to have no sincerity, cannot be recognized by Nuwa at present.

After more than a dozen times, everyone knelt in front of the outer door of Nuwa Palace for more than a month. The ministers had already kneeled down to their backs and cramps in their legs. Several old-level figures had already foamed at the mouth and fainted several times. If the Imperial Doctor had not rescued him in time, he would have died long ago, but there was still no movement in Nuwa Palace.

Finally, Fei Zhong and Youhun made an idea and said, since Nuwa had no expression, it should be acquiescent to us. So, let’s go back and take a shower and go to bed!

It is rare that Fei Zhong and Youhun, an excuse that is not very clever, have been unanimously recognized by all the civil and military officials of the court. So, Emperor Xin, who was already indifferent to the detachment, refused a few times, then he went downstairs and scattered with all the civil and military officials of the court, and went back to live a corrupt life as a slave owner.

"Oh! The luck of the Da Shang Dynasty was completely ruined!" Seeing this, Wen Zhong, who was opening his eyes and raising his eyes to observe Emperor Xin's every move, couldn't help but sigh, his eyes full of decline.

As a disciple of the three generations of Jie Sect, Wen Zhong naturally knew that Nuwa was indeed a good person and had a kindness to the human race. More importantly, that Nuwa is still alive and has unimaginable magic power.

Therefore, since he learned that Emperor Xin actually dared to blaspheme Nuwa, Wen Zhong knew that the Shang Dynasty was probably over.

However, Wen Zhong still had some feelings for the Shang Dynasty when he had been an official for decades. Although this feeling was far from the grace of the master's teaching for millions of years, Wen Zhong was still unwilling to watch the Shang Dynasty decline. After teaching the civil and military officials of the court a lesson, Wen Zhong instructed Emperor Xin and others to regret it before going to Nuwa Palace, in order to move Nuwa and earn the last bit of vitality for the declining Shang Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Xin was really not up to the Tao, and even did not do enough skills on the surface. He knelt outside Nuwa Palace for less than an hour, so he went back to have a meal. He went back to eat for nearly three hours. After kneeling for a while in the afternoon, he went back to the palace to have fun.

There are a few more sincere ministers, but most of them follow them to make up for the numbers. They are purely the kind of guys who bow down and fart, and do good deeds but do evil.

Therefore, although this repentance action seems to be huge and takes quite a long time, in fact, it has not achieved any substantial results.

At this point, Wen Zhong was completely disheartened by Emperor Xin and others, "It is okay to be violated by God's evil deeds, but you can't live! With these ignorant prodigal things, the great fortune of the Shang Dynasty is not corrupt enough! Forget it, let's do it with you! At worst, I will take action to protect the bloodline of this Shang Dynasty in the future, which is worthy of your Shang family!"

He had made up his mind to make up, and since then, Wen Zhong stopped attending court after he was ill, and even Emperor Xin and all the civil and military officials visited him, he was completely ignored.

"That's great! Old Man Wen Zhong seems to be really sick!" After testing several times, he never saw Old Man Wen Zhong appear. All the civil and military officials in the court and the slave owners of Chaoge City were all happy and encouraged.

"Now, Di Xina's unlucky guy, shouldn't he be troubled by any slave human rights bill? Originally, we were worried that after Master Wen returned to the court, Di Xin would rely on the support of the old master to do whatever he wanted! Now, even the backstage has fallen. Let's see how long your Di Xin can still stay here!"

Although I don’t know what these slave owners think, after being tossed for a while, Emperor Xin gradually discovered some of the benefits after Wen Zhong returned to the court.

Although Wen Zhong did not go to Longde Hall to discuss matters again, since Wen Zhong returned to the court, the civil and military officials in the court have been much more restrained. None of them dared to make loud noises in Longde Hall, pointing at Emperor Xin's nose and scolding the foolish king for being short. They all clamped their tails and kept their breathing, like a well-behaved kitten, for fear that they would scream loudly and wake up the tiger who was still sleeping.

In this seemingly strange atmosphere, the situation of the Shang Dynasty was not alive and lasted for another ten years.

In the past ten years, many things happened in both the Shang Dynasty and the princes in all directions, among which the more important ones were there.

First, Dongbo Marquis Jiang Huanchu got a cheap family from somewhere. The man's surname was Jiang Shang and his courtesy name was Ziya. According to rumors, he was a wise minister of Yingmeng of Jiang Huanchu. It is said that he was also the ancestor of the Jiang family. The last Yan Emperor Jiang Yuwang personally entrusts the dream to Dongbo Marquis Jiang Huanchu.

It is both my own family and the various reminders from my ancestors in my dreams. Although I don’t know where this Jiang Ziya came from, Dongbo Hou still trusts him very much. As soon as Pu met and after a simple interview, Jiang Huanchu appointed Jiang Ziya as prime minister and prime minister Dongbo Hou’s military affairs.

It’s true that Jiang Ziya looks like she is already in her seventies and eighties, but her energy is absolutely unspeakable. After some busy and busy, she actually made the entire Donglu lively and beautiful in less than ten years, and her overall national strength has obviously reached a big step. She can be said to be rich in the people and the country, and her soldiers are strong.

While the Eastern Lu was developing rapidly, another major prince of the Shang Dynasty, the Xibo, also received support from a mysterious force in the past ten years.

In addition, in order to differentiate Xiqi and Chaoge's slave owners, Emperor Xin forcibly promoted the slave reform bill in Xiqi. Unexpectedly, this slave human rights bill had unprecedented success under the joint operation of Xibohou Jifa and the mysterious forces.

As a result, in the past decade, the population of Xiqi increased rapidly, the economy developed rapidly, and even the army expanded greatly, not only restored its power at its previous heyday, but even exceeded it.

During this period, due to the disagreement between Emperor Xin and the slave owners, Emperor Xin proposed a bill to protect the slave owners several times, but it was not passed in the court discussion.

After several disputes, not only did they fail to obtain anything, but the conflict between Emperor Xin and the court officials became increasingly sharp.

The disagreement between the king and the ministers is the direct result of these ministers being passive and lazy. Although they dare not fight directly with Emperor Xin, they can secretly use some tricks to greatly reduce Emperor Xin's government orders. Among them, members of the royal family led by Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziyan are the most.

Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziyan were originally the same parents and brothers of Emperor Xin. Because they were born too early, their mother had not yet been established as queen at that time, so they became concubines and lost the right to inherit the first order, and gave him the third brother of Emperor Xin for nothing. Therefore, these brothers had always had resentment towards Emperor Xin. In the spirit of opposition parties, we firmly opposed everything that the ruling party supported, and with their own interests, the brothers spared no effort to create Emperor Xin's rebellion, and even colluded with unknown external forces.

In this way, a great Shang Dynasty was a mess and was shattered by this group of reactionaries.

Moreover, in recent years, these reactionaries have become increasingly arrogant.

Because, during this period, two pillar-like figures of the Shang Dynasty retreated from the court one after another.

One of these two pillars is naturally the Taishi Wen Zhong who hid in the Taishi Mansion all day long and did not leave the house and did not know what he was doing; the other is the Prime Minister Shang Rong.

Wen Zhong was disheartened and unwilling to assist the unlucky emperor Xin, who dared to be disrespectful to his ancestor mother, the saint of human race, Nuwa, so he refused to go to court. Shang Rong was indeed too old to be too old to walk. Without any plans, he left the court and retired and lived in seclusion.

At this point, the three senior officials of the Shang Dynasty were the only emperor's uncle Jizi.

When it comes to this Jizi, many people may not have any impression. It seems that the only famous emperor uncle in the entire Shang and Zhou dynasties was the only one who had been cut off by Qi Jie Lingxin.

But in fact, in terms of influence, Jizi's influence can be said to be far superior to Bi Gan, because later Confucianism inherited from Jizi's thoughts.

Among them, Jizi put forward nine outlines on the governance of the country, namely "Hong Fan Jiuchou", which has been included in the "Shangshu".

"Hong Fan Jiuchou" has nine items, the first of which puts forward the famous theory of the Five Elements in later generations. It not only clarifies the basic positioning of the Five Elements for the first time, water, fire, wood, metal, and earth, but also gives the most basic explanation of the theory of the Five Elements.

However, although Jizi is talented, Emperor Xin doesn’t believe this guy. Although Jizi seems to be a entrusting old minister, is the reason? It’s very simple, just because this guy is the emperor’s uncle!

In the eyes of Emperor Xin, all those who once had the right to inherit but failed to ascend to the throne because of the system of succession to the eldest son, are suspected of rebellion! Although it seems that there is no evidence that this uncle Jizi is showing signs of rebellion.

From this point of view, this Ji Zi was also considered to have suffered from the fish pond of Wei Zi Qi and Wei Zi Yan!

Two of the three old ministers went there, and the remaining one was capable, but they could only take care of some chores and other chores. Most of the other ministers were half-hearted, so the internal affairs of the Shang Dynasty began to decline again.

The government gradually became chaotic, and at the same time, signs of chaos began to appear in Emperor Xin's harem.

Because, during this period, Jida, the original beautiful spy of the Su tribe, was magically favored by Emperor Xin.

In theory, Di Xin's little cock was eaten by mice, and there was no need for that aspect. Even if he had not practiced Sunflower Lost Love and reached the state of eunuch forgetting love, he should be immune to beauties!

It turns out that Su Daji is favored by a profound historical reason.

By the way, since the previous one was destroyed by a group of rats, such an lingering shadow has left in Di Xin's heart, that is, he is afraid of rats.

As an emperor of a generation, he is actually afraid of mice, which is too embarrassing!

But in this palace, there are mostly some concubines, uterus, maids, eunuchs, etc., and there are not many of them who are brave. Moreover, even if there are, Emperor Xin cannot say it clearly that I am afraid of mice, so I ask my sister to protect me well.

The mice in Chaoge City seemed to have recognized Emperor Xin. Basically, every night, there would be a dozen or eight-way rats coming to Emperor Xin's bedroom to visit him for a few times, causing damage, and then threatening Emperor Xin, which would scare Emperor Xin so hard that he would be pounding.

This kind of suffering was so painful that I lived like the New Year. Until one day, accidentally, Emperor Xin listened to the talk of a few eunuchs and said that there was a master of snake raising in the palace, and finally welcoming the day when he turned over and sang to his slave family.
