Chapter 92 Taigong Fishing, King Wen Tuogu
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Ziya lifted the bamboo pole, and a lively koi fish fell down. Jiang Ziya said with a smile.
"It's better to take what is straight than to seek what's straight, otherwise the fish will be hooked!"
Jiang Ziya was fishing for the big fish Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo. As soon as Jichang opened his mouth, the fish took the bait. This was the manifestation of the destiny of heaven.
Ji Chang immediately admired Jiang Ziya and respected Jiang Ziya very much. He invited him to come out and work together to achieve great things and serve as the prime minister of Xiqi.
Jiang Ziya lived in seclusion in the Weishui River just to wait for Xibohou Jichang, but he did not put any airs on it and readily agreed, and the two walked out of the mountains and forests hand in hand.
Ji Chang let Jiang Ziya into the chariot and drove Jiang Ziya himself until he reached the official road, walking a full eight hundred steps.
Ji Chang pulled an eight hundred-step chariot for Jiang Ziya, and Jiang Ziya established a dynasty for Ji Chang for eight hundred years. With one drink and one peck, there was destiny.
Jiang Ziya entered Xiqi, and all the people were eager to see it, and they were all delighted; Jiang Ziya dismounted at the imperial gate, Xibohou Jichang ascended to the palace, Jiang Ziya came to congratulate him, Xibohou Jichang named Jiang Ziya the Prime Minister of Youlingsheng, Jiang Ziya thanked him. There was a banquet in the side hall, and all the officials
Congratulations and drinks; at that time, the monarch and his ministers are assisted, and the dragon and tiger are supported.
Jiang Ziya has a good way to prime the country, and has laws to calm the people; conditions are in order, and everything is done in a proper manner.
Jiang Shangxiangzhou.
Han Rongzhi, Xibo Hou Jichang, hired Jiang Ziya to work with Zhou, and he was busy repairing the manuscript and sending it to Chaoge. In less than one day, the official sent the memorial to Chaoge.
That day I happened to catch up with Bigan to read the book. As the Prime Minister of the Great Shang Dynasty, Bigan got along very well with Jiang Ziya and got to know each other very well. When Bigan saw this book, Jiang Shangzhou, he was silent and sighed up to the sky.
"Jiang Shang always had great ambitions, and today his ambitions in the Western Zhou Dynasty are not small. This book cannot be ignored."
Bigan held the memorial and went to Zhaixinglou to await the decree. King Zhou announced that Bigan would come to see him. King Zhou looked at Bigan holding the memorial and asked.
"What memorial does the emperor have?"
Bigan looked solemn and said very seriously.
"Han Rong, the chief military officer of Sishui Pass, wrote in this book and said: 'Ji Chang hired Jiang Shang as his prime minister, and his ambition was not small. Dongbohou rebelled against the hometown of Donglu, and Nanbohou stationed troops in the three mountains. If there is another uprising in Xibo Ji Chang
, At this time, swords and soldiers were everywhere, and the people were confused. There were constant floods and droughts, the army was poor, and the treasury was empty. When I heard that the Grand Master was on an expedition to the north, and the victory or defeat was not decided, it was a time when the country was in a difficult situation and the monarch and his ministers were at war with each other.
May your majesty’s holy will come to the fore and make a final decision.”
It happened that Beibeihou Chonghou Huhou had an audience with him. King Zhou summoned him into the palace and asked him.
"What memorial do you have?"
Beibeihou Chonghouhu bowed and replied.
"I was ordered to supervise the construction of Lutai. It took two years and four months to complete the construction. Now it has been completed. I came here to return my order."
King Zhou was overjoyed when he heard this and praised Beibei Hou Chonghou Hu.
"This platform cannot be as fast as it is without your strength."
Beibei Hou Chonghou Hu did not dare to bow and said modestly.
"I supervised the construction day and night, how could I dare to be idle? That's why the work was completed so quickly."
Chonghou Hu supervised the construction of Lutai, mobilized troops, gathered famous craftsmen from all over the country, and gathered the treasures of the country. There were countless casualties and people complained. The construction of Lutai sounded the death knell for the demise of the Yin Dynasty. There is a poem that says:
The people's anointing was peeled off to build the embankment. It was already west when the embankment was built.
Mu Yeshi was in trouble when he was in power, and he looked at Yun Ni when he was at war with Song.
The treasures of Kyushu are stored with great care, but once they are dusty they will fight against horse hooves.
I think it is because I have accumulated wealth and the grievances have not been resolved, and the dawn is like a cloud of confusion.
King Zhou built Lutai firstly to consolidate his wealth and control his subjects for a long time, and secondly to please Daji and enjoy hunting. He did not care about the life and death of the people at all. Seeing that Chonghou Hu was loyal and dedicated, he said to him.
"You came at the right time. Jiang Shang is now in charge of Zhou, and his ambition is not small. Han Rongyou, the commander-in-chief of Sishui Pass, originally reported. What is the plan for now? What plan do you have to get rid of Ji Chang's serious trouble?"
Chonghou Hu didn't understand Jiang Ziya, and he was dissatisfied with Ji Chang's wisdom and retorted.
"How can Ji Chang be? What is Jiang Shang? The frog at the bottom of the well cannot be seen much; the light of fireflies is not far away. It is called Xiangguo, and it is like a cicada hugging withered poplars. Soon they will all be gone. If your Majesty sends troops to attack, it will make all the princes in the world laugh.
According to my opinion, there is nothing I can do; I hope your Majesty will not have to compete with him."
King Zhou didn't pay much attention to Jiang Ziya at first, but because of Bigan's face, he paid a little attention to him and said.
"Your words are very kind."
King Zhou then put the matter aside and was so angry that Bigan threw up his sleeves and left, saying to Chonghou Hu.
"The deer platform is finished, I am lucky."
Chonghou Hu, who was obedient to King Zhou, said with a smile.
"I specially invite the Holy Master to watch."
King Zhou was overjoyed when he heard this. He sent an edict and took Daji and three thousand beauties from his harem with him to Lutai to enjoy the show. The king was so ridiculous and deserved the destruction of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
There are poems to prove it: "The deer platform is so high that it penetrates into the sky, and it is ruined and turned into soup roots and seedlings; the civil engineering work is disappointing, and the people's resentment and ghosts are responding to the monsters. Cannibals are insatiable in worshiping the evil lords, flattering Fei Zhongxiao; seducing foxes to sing to the moon at night.
, businesses are like floating in the water."
Soon, King Zhou found out about Bigan's intentions and made a soup to treat Daji's illness. Chonghou Hu even disrupted the government, tyrannized ministers, deceived the emperor, and did everything. He harmed the people but did not dare to speak out, and committed killings but did not dare to complain.
There are many evil deeds, which make the people live in a state of poverty, and they are insatiable in their greed and cruelty.
Seeing the complaints from the people in the world, Jiang Ziya in Xiqi suddenly felt that the time had come, and suggested to Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo, that the Western Zhou Dynasty should send troops to attack Chonghou Hu, the Marquis of Beibo, and save all the people from the fire. Jichang happily accepted it.
King Wen sent out a white-colored yellow ax and a hundred thousand troops. On an auspicious day, he sent out a treasure and ordered Jiang Ziya to be the commander-in-chief, with Nangong as the advance officer and Xin Jia as the deputy general. He was accompanied by four sages and eight handsome men. King Wen and Ziya set off with cannon fire.
The elders and elders greeted each other, and the chickens and dogs were not frightened. When they heard that Xiqi was attacking Bei Bohou, Chonghou Hu, they all followed and supported him.
It is in vain to worship the tiger without any plan. How can he always stay when he deceives the emperor and steals the country? When he is beheaded at the gate, he sighs in the air. When he pulls out his son and hangs his head, there is no regret.
Chonghou Hu was no match for Jiang Ziya. He was losing ground and was unpopular. Even his own brother Chong Heihu couldn't stand his behavior. He teamed up with Ji Chang and kidnapped Chonghou Hu and sent him to Xiqi University.
Ying, in the end, could not escape justice and died an untimely death. He was beheaded and displayed to the public. He dominated Chaoge and relied on his own strength, deceiving the emperor to be greedy and cruel and harm the loyal and good. Who knows that evil deeds will eventually be repaid, and the owl leader Yuanmen has committed suicide.
Since then, Xiqi has withdrawn its troops, its power has increased greatly, and the world has respected it. Xiqi has become stronger and stronger since then.
But Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo, saw that he had beheaded the Chonghou Tiger. He was in a state of confusion, felt physically and mentally unwell, and was depressed. He was lazy in eating, restless in sleep and sleep, and had a hazy look with his eyes closed. When he saw the Chonghou Tiger standing in front of him again, he was frightened and confused.
He tried medical treatment, but the medicine did not heal him. The condition became more serious day by day and continued to increase, and he was already dying. So he ordered his second son Ji Fa to worship Jiang Shang as his father-in-law and listen to his teachings sooner or later. He entrusted Xiqi to Jiang Ziya and passed away.
It was in the middle of winter in the twentieth year of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty.
From then on, Xiqi changed its master, Ji Fa inherited the position of Xibohou, worshiped Jiang Shang as his father, King Wu conquered Zhou, and the dynasty changed from then on.
