Bigan was the younger brother of Emperor Yi, and he was also the prime minister of the Shang Dynasty. Most of the civil servants of the Shang Dynasty were headed by Bigan!
Originally it was just a general Fei Lian who said this, but Emperor Yi could still refute it!
Now Bigan also jumped out to cause trouble, Emperor Yi was very distressed, and all the civil servants looked at each other, winked at each other, and stood behind Bigan one after another!
Although these civil servants did not speak, their meaning was already very clear. Second the motion!
These civil servants are the ministers of Emperor Yi, but they are also the ministers of the Great Shang. Naturally, they must defend the iron law of the Great Shang!
Ever since Shang King Wu Ding passed away, there has never been a truly suitable Shang King in Dashang!
Today's Shang Dynasty needs a brave Shang King!
Defend the Eastern Yi and defeat the Western Rong!
Intimidate the four great princes and frighten the eight hundred princes!
Now that Prince Zi Xin is born with supernatural powers and has the qualifications of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, all the officials in the Shang Dynasty are more optimistic about Prince Zi Xin!
Emperor Yi saw that all the civil servants of the Shang Dynasty had expressed their opinions, so he could only turn his attention to Taishi Wen Zhong!
Wen Zhong was originally a minister of the late king Wen Ding, and a disciple of Jie Jiao. Emperor Yi had always attached great importance to Wen Zhong!
Especially some time ago, Wen Zhong brought back many Jiejiao immortal masters from the East China Sea, which were of great help to the Shang Dynasty!
If Bigan is the head of the civil servants of the Shang Dynasty, then Wen Zhong is the head of the military officials of the Shang Dynasty!
When Emperor Yi turned his attention to Wen Zhong, Fei Lian also turned his attention to Wen Zhong.
Others may not know his identity as Feilian, but Wen Zhong is a disciple of Jie Jiao, so he should only know his own identity!
When Wen Zhong saw that Emperor Yi and Fei Lian were looking at him, his scalp suddenly went numb!
One is his own king, and the other is a quasi-sage!
Wen Zhong thought again and again and stood up, bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, although Prince Zi Xin is young, he is born with supernatural powers and he is an heir. The old minister thinks he can be crowned king!"
Wen Zhong naturally knew that Emperor Yi intended to cultivate Wei Ziqi. With today's situation, if Zi Xin was not given the title of king!
Emperor Yi will definitely offend Bi Gan and other civil servants. As for the generals, although he is headed by Wen Zhong, these generals believe in strength!
Zi Xin is born with supernatural powers, and many generals are optimistic about Zi Xin!
It can be said that if Emperor Yi did not grant Zi Xin the title of king today, the civil and military ministers of the Shang Dynasty would have objections, and most importantly, Fei Lian might be displeased!
Fei Lian is a powerful person in the quasi-sage stage. If one person is unhappy and stirs up trouble in the Yin capital, the entire Yin capital will be unstoppable!
Even the Holy Mother of Jinling, who is in charge of Yindu, probably would not dare to take action against a quasi-sage like Fei Lian!
For the sake of the Shang Dynasty, Wen Zhong could only second the proposal!
Moreover, Zi Xin was an heir and was born with supernatural powers. According to the ancestral laws of the Shang Dynasty, he should be crowned king and become the crown prince of the Shang Dynasty!
"you……"
Emperor Yi frowned. He originally wanted Wen Zhong to come and help him out of the siege, but now Wen Zhong and his generals seconded the proposal!
Now the entire civil and military ministers of the Shang Dynasty want to embarrass him!
All the civil and military ministers of the Shang Dynasty knew what Emperor Yi was thinking and wanted Wei Ziqi to be his heir, but this would violate the ancestral laws of the Yin and Shang Dynasties!
As ministers of the Great Shang Dynasty, they must defend the ancestral laws of the Yin and Shang Dynasties!
If Wei Ziqi has outstanding abilities and Emperor Yi wants to make Wei Ziqi his heir, they can endure it and say nothing!
But Wei Ziqi didn't have any outstanding abilities, while Zixin was born with divine power.
In contrast, Zi Xin was born to be a king!
Fei Lian, Bigan, and Wen Zhong all spoke in unison, and the civil and military ministers behind them collectively agreed, saying:
"We sincerely request your Majesty to grant the title of King to Prince Xin!"
They were just trying to force Emperor Yi to crown Zi Xin the king!
"That's it!"
Di Yi sighed, how similar this scene was to when he himself was crowned king!
When Wen Ding was in power, the civil and military ministers collectively asked for the king for Emperor Yi. Wen Ding had no choice but to confer the crown for Emperor Yi, confirming Emperor Yi's position as the crown prince!
After many years, now it’s a cycle again!
In desperation, Emperor Yi announced:
"In this case, I will grant Zixin the title of King of Longevity!"
The prince of the Shang Dynasty would be crowned king before he succeeded to the throne!
Although Zi Xin is only King Shou now, once Emperor Yi falls and abdicates, Prince Xin of Shou will also become King Di Xin of Shang!
After Emperor Yi conferred the title of king on Zi Xin, the civil and military ministers below were satisfied and returned to their original positions!
At this time, Di Yi opened his mouth and told something that was bothering him:
"Dear ministers, now that Dongyi has just stabilized and Xirong is about to make a move, I am a little worried!"
Although the main enemy of the Shang Dynasty was Dongyi, the Xirong in the west of the Shang Dynasty was also a trouble!
When Emperor Yi said this, the ministers began to think about it one by one.
After Bigan thought for a while, as the head of civil servants, he stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, are you afraid that Xiqi and Xirong will unite?"
Xirong and Xiqi are both located to the west of the Yin capital, and the Yin Shang Dynasty was indebted to Xiqi, so it is possible for Xiqi and Xirong to unite!
He took office as King Wen Ding of Shang Dynasty because Ji Chang's father Ji Li (Ji Li) continued to improve Xiqi's military strength.
This made Wen Ding very wary of Ji Li, so he put Ji Li under house arrest, causing him to go on a hunger strike and die!
Therefore, among the four major princes, the one that Dashang was most worried about was Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo of Xiqi!
"Um!"
Di Yi nodded, and then said:
"Bigan, Ji Li died in the capital of Yin, so that Xiqi hated the Yin Shang Dynasty!
Although Ji Chang, the son of Ji Li, was conferred the position of Xibohou by our Yin Shang, he must have hatred towards me, the Yin Shang!
Ji Chang of the Zhou clan is of the same lineage as me in the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and is the empress of the Human Emperor Xuanyuan!
Therefore, I plan to marry Xiqi and marry my sister to Jichang, in order to settle the grievances between Xiqi and the Yin Shang Dynasty!"
Emperor Yi wanted to control Ji Chang through marriage and ask Xiqi to help him resist Xirong!
Emperor Yi’s royal sister is not Bigan’s royal sister!
After thinking over and over again, Bigan nodded and agreed:
"It's okay to marry the king's sister to Ji Chang!"
The conflict between Xiqi and Yin Shang is too great. If they want to calm down their grievances, the only way is to get married!
Bigan agreed, but Wen Zhongdao was reluctant. He stood up directly and said:
"Your Majesty, although the late king is ashamed of Xiqi, he just needs to give Xiqi some compensation!
If I marry Wang Mei to Xiqi, it will be an insult to my great Shang integrity!"
Wen Zhongnai was an important minister left behind by the late king Wen Ding. Wen Zhong knew very well about Ji Li's matter. The water in this matter was very deep!
Although the late king Wen Ding forced Ji Li to death, Xiqi became much more at ease after that warning, and has not dared to expand his troops until now!
If Ji Li had not died, who knows whether Xiqi would be the next disaster to Dongyi!
Therefore, Wen Zhong cannot judge whether Ji Li’s death is right or wrong!
But once Dashang takes the initiative to marry Xiqi as a show of goodwill, he is telling Xiqi that Dashang has admitted the fault of the late king Wen Ding!
At the same time, he is also telling the four major princes, eight hundred princes, and big merchants that they are no longer viable and need to stabilize politics through marriage!
Emperor Yi frowned. He didn't expect Wen Zhong to object, so he asked:
"Wen Taishi, what should we do if Xirong and Xiqi unite?"
Over the years, Dashang and Dongyi have been fighting for too long, which has consumed a lot of national power!
Emperor Yi did not want to waste national power anymore for Xiqi and Xirong!
Wen Zhong's eyes were firm and he answered directly:
"Your Majesty, if Xiqi dares to rebel against our great merchant, I am willing to lead troops and bring my fellow disciples to attack Xiqi and Xirong!"
In the past, Wen Zhong might have agreed to the marriage for the sake of the Shang Dynasty to avoid consuming the national power of the Shang Dynasty!
But it's different now. He brought back many brothers from Jiejiao some time ago!
In front of the Jie Jiao disciples, it doesn't matter how strong Xiqi and Xirong are?
If you want to destroy them, you can just do it in a snap!
Emperor Yi saw that Wen Zhong was sincerely singing the opposite tune today, so he asked:
"I heard from Grand Master, what if Xiqi rebels and Dongyi invades?"
If someone else had offended him like this, Di Yi would have had him kicked out long ago!
But this is Wen Zhong, but he is said to be the oldest among the ministers of the Shang Dynasty. He is the auxiliary minister left by the late king Wen Ding, so Emperor Yi is not too much!
"Your Majesty, with the help of my old mentor, Our Lady of Jin Ling, and the brothers of Jie Jiao, Dashang also has General Fei Lian and General Kong Xuan, the commander-in-chief of Sanshan Pass, Dashang is not afraid of any enemy!"
Wen Zhong confidently replied to Emperor Yi that the Shang Dynasty's national power was declining, but there were really many masters!
There are even two quasi-sages stationed in the Shang Dynasty, and the Eastern Yi and Xirong are worthy of being arrogant!
"this……"
When Emperor Yi saw Wen Zhong speaking so forcefully, he couldn't answer the question!
Emperor Yi began to think deeply. Based on his understanding of Wen Zhong, Wen Zhong focused on the Shang Dynasty and would never cheat the Shang Dynasty!
Since the other party dares to be so tough, he must be quite confident!
Also, because Wen Zhong is a disciple of Jiejiao, although he is rarely respectful to others, today he was uncharacteristically respectful to Fei Lian!
In addition, Kong Xuan mentioned by Wen Zhong was just the commander-in-chief of Sanguan Mountain. He was not allowed to come to the court without being summoned!
But it is heard that Zhonggang mentioned Kong Xuan with the word "general" to show respect!
Emperor Yi originally thought that Fei Lian and Kong Xuan were just ordinary capable people and strangers, but now judging from the importance Wen Zhong attaches to them, they are definitely not ordinary capable people and strangers, and they must be reused in the future!
Wen Zhong saw that Emperor Yi was silent, and then said:
"Your Majesty, we, the Yin Shang Dynasty, have been silent for too long. Even if the East Yi and Xirong are eyeing our great Shang, the four major princes and eight hundred princes are also acting against me, the great Shang!
The great merchants need a large army to conquer the Eastern Yi and Western Rong to intimidate the princes!"
As a veteran of the two dynasties, Wen Zhong is very aware of the current situation of Dashang!
The great merchants during the Wen Ding period were fine. Only the Eastern Yi and the Western Rong were causing trouble. The four major princes and the eight hundred princes still had to listen to the great merchants!
But by the time of Emperor Yi, the four major princes and the eight hundred princes had become a hidden trouble!
The only way to stabilize the situation now is to defeat Dongyi and Xirong and intimidate all the princes!
In the past, when there was no helper, Wen Zhong only dared to think about it.
But now the Shang Dynasty has disciples from Jie Jiao to help, and there are also two quasi-sages, who are fully capable of this!
"Grand Master Wen, I, Dashang, have been fighting Dongyi for so long and have lost a lot of energy. It is not appropriate to fight again!"
Emperor Yi also knew that Wen Zhong was doing it for the good of Dashang, but he really didn't want to take the initiative to attack Dongyi and Xirong!
Dashang is in the current situation because he has been fighting Dongyi for too long and his vitality has been damaged!
If the great merchants lose their vitality again, those princes may not be able to bear it any longer!
"King!"
Wen Zhong was about to exhort him, but Emperor Yi interrupted him and said:
"Master Wen, don't say any more. I have decided to marry the king's sister to Xiqi to stabilize the relationship between Xiqi and Yin merchants, and let Xiqi help the merchants to resist Xirong!"
Emperor Yi's final decision was to choose marriage, hoping to use Xiqi to resist Xirong!
"well!"
Wen Zhong saw that Emperor Yi was determined to get married, but he had no choice!
Emperor Yi was so lackadaisical that Wen Zhong felt that this was the worst generation of Shang kings he had ever led!
Although Emperor Yi has no courage, after all, Emperor Yi is a king, and he is a minister after hearing that Zhongzhong is a minister, so he can't do the following!
Emperor Yi didn't want to say any more, so he signaled the civil and military ministers to withdraw from the court!
"I'll take my leave!"
The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs bowed in salute and then exited the hall!
After leaving the main hall, Wen Zhong took the initiative to find Feilian and said:
"Great God Fei Lian, the Shang Dynasty will still be blessed by you in the future!"
Emperor Yi had no courage, and the current situation in the Shang Dynasty was not very good. Wen Zhong made up his mind to tie the great god in front of him to the Shang Dynasty!
"Easy to say!"
After Fei Lian responded, he then turned to Wen Zhong and said:
"This Emperor Yi is far less courageous than the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Without your assistance, the Shang Dynasty might no longer exist!"
Over the years since Fei Lian entered business and became an official, his impression of Emperor Yi was not very good!
"..."
Wen Zhong paused and did not answer Fei Lian, nor did he know how to Fei Lian!
After all, Wen Zhong also felt that Emperor Yi had no courage, but as a minister, it was not easy for him to talk about Emperor Yi!
…
Zi Xin was granted the title of Prince of Longevity. According to the ancestral system of the Shang Dynasty, he should have his own palace, so Emperor Yi gave Zixin a palace of Prince of Longevity!
At this time, Zi Xin would also be groomed as a crown prince, and Emperor Yi ordered Bigan and Wen Zhong to teach Zi Xin the ways of civil and military affairs respectively!
When Bigan and Wen Zhong taught Zi Xin, it can be said that Bigan and Wen Zhong were in a complete mess!
Zixin is indeed smart, but Zixin is too naughty and basically refuses to listen to instructions!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! According to the saying of future generations, this child is worse than a bear!
The only thing that makes them happy is Zi Xin's magical power.
Although Zixin is only in his early teens and still has the body of a young man, one punch can weigh tens of thousands of kilograms.
Not to mention ordinary people, even low-level cultivators may not be able to catch Zi Xin's punch!
What surprised Wen Zhong the most was not Zixin's magical power, but other places!
Wen Zhong had a horse called Mo Qilin, which was ferocious in nature and loved to fight bravely. Except for Wen Zhong and Jin Ling Shen Shen, it was extremely vicious to everyone!
But Zi Xin glared at him, and Mo Qilin immediately became docile and was teased by Zi Xin at will!
You must know that Mo Qilin is a divine beast with the cultivation level of a golden immortal. How could Wen Zhong not be surprised that he could be conquered by a young man!
Wen Zhongke shouted three times: God bless Shangtang!
It was only when Zi Xin was granted the title of king that he had his own palace. As for his two elder brothers, Wei Ziqi and Wei Zhongyan, they did not have their own palaces and could only live together in the prince's palace!
In the Prince's Mansion...
Wei Zhongyan looked towards Wei Ziqi with a half-smile and said:
"Eldest brother, now the third brother has been named the longevity king!
My father is so unfair. We and the third brother are brothers from the same mother. Why is the third brother the heir and the eldest brother, the eldest son, still just a bastard!"
Wei Zhongyan was deliberately irritating Wei Ziqi. The two brothers were obviously brothers from the same mother as Zi Xin, but the gap between them and Zi Xin was too big!
Wei Zhongyan knew that even without Zi Xin, he, Wei Zhongyan, could not become the heir. After all, he was not the eldest son!
But Wei Ziqi was different. He was obviously the eldest son, but he was a concubine!
Therefore, Wei Zhongyan naturally wants to stimulate Wei Ziqi and use him to deal with Zixin!
Wei Ziqi didn’t know Wei Zhongyan’s little tricks, so he laughed and said:
"Second brother, as brothers, why do we have to worry so much with third brother!"
Wei Ziqi knew very well that his second brother's method was to use him to deal with Zi Xin!
If something happens to Zi Xin now, Wei Zi Qi, the eldest son, must be the biggest suspect!
So he naturally has to be careful when he speaks. After all, this is the prince's palace, and the attendants around him are loyal to Emperor Yi!
