315: Ask the king for marriage(1/2)

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!
