"Oh? Are you talking about Xibohou Jichang?" Chen Zhi asked,
"In the legend, Jiang Ziya and Xibo Hou Jichang seem to have some friendship.
When Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo, was captured in Chaoge, he left many legends behind, including the story of him eating child meat."
"yes!"
Bai Fengxian's voice was low, as if she hoped that only Chen Zhi could hear these words.
"You must also know from your human legends that Ji Fa is not Xiqi's eldest son, right?
Before the collapse of rituals and music, in this land, there was a clear distinction between concubines and concubines, and concubines could not inherit the throne.
Therefore, there was another successor to Xiqi at that time..."
Following Bai Fengxian's guidance, Chen Zhi immediately thought of the ancient legends about the list of gods.
One of the most famous passages is the story about the eldest son of Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo, who passed the Boyi exam and passed the imperial examination to save his father.
According to legend, the Boyi candidate was kind-hearted and handsome in appearance, and he was a filial son with upright character.
At that time, his father, Hou Jichang of Xibo, was imprisoned for offending King Zhou and could not escape for a long time. Seeing that he was about to die in a foreign country, Xiqi was very anxious.
In order to rescue his father, Boyikao took Xiqi's Three Treasures of the Kingdom and presented them to King Zhou and Queen Su Daji.
These three treasures have quite some origins...
They are [Seven-Fragrant Cart], [Sobering Mat] and [White-faced Monkey]
The Qixiang Chariot is a chariot left behind by Emperor Xuanyuan in Beihai when he conquered Chiyou. If you sit on it, you don't need to push it. If you want to go east, you can go east, if you want west, you can go west. It is very rare and is a treasure passed down from generation to generation.
The sobering rug, if a person is drunk and has a cold face, he will wake up in no time by lying on this rug. It is a treasure used by the gods.
Although the white-faced ape is an animal, he is good at three thousand short songs and eight hundred big songs. He can sing before the banquet and is good at dancing on the palm of his hand. Whenever he sings and dances, his voice is extremely sweet and sweet, just like the fluttering oriole and the graceful willow.
.
These three items are the most precious treasures in the world and are difficult to find in the world. King Zhou and the Queen were overjoyed when they saw the treasures and wanted to pardon Ji Chang.
But Queen Su Daji suddenly had an idea. Seeing Boyikao's handsome appearance and superb piano skills, she suddenly felt lustful desires and wanted to get closer to him, but she was humiliated by Boyikao's honest words.
In anger, Su Daji falsely accused Boyikao of molesting her, and then falsely accused Boyikao's music of playing the piano as a secret scolding of King Zhou's immorality.
Emperor Xin, King of Zhou Dynasty of Shang Dynasty, was furious, so he ordered Boyikao to cut off his limbs and chop his body into pieces with ten thousand swords.
Moreover, the treacherous minister suggested that since ancient times, saints have not eaten fruit and meat. Everyone in the world has said that Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo, is a saint, and he is good at divination of fate, and everyone in the world respects him.
Now, if his son is made into meat soup, someone can send it to Ji Chang to eat.
If he eats it, it proves that he is just a mediocre person. If he doesn't eat, it proves that he can indeed see good and bad luck and control his destiny. Such a person must be killed.
King Zhou and Emperor Xin heard that this made sense and acted according to the plan...
Little did he know that Jichang had already learned from the hexagram that his beloved son had been robbed, and he cried bitterly.
But the next day, after receiving the meat soup, he also pretended to eat it without knowing it, in order to deceive King Zhou and Daji.
King Zhou was overjoyed when he learned about it and thought that Ji Chang was just an ignorant person, so he let him go.
Finally, Ji Chang finally returned to his hometown.
Later, Jiang Ziya thought of Boyi's loyalty and filial piety, and named him the God of the Ziwei Emperor in the North Pole of Zhongtian, and appointed him as the God of Nobility.
This incident has been transmitted across the land of China for more than 5,000 years, and no one knows it. It is also a representative incident of Xibohou Jichang's wisdom and courage at that time, and it also proves the stupidity of Emperor Xin, the king of Shang Zhou.
Even looking at it now, if this Boyikao is really as handsome as the legend, with the nine-tailed fox's lewdness and cruelty, it is not impossible to do such a thing...
"Bo Yi Kao, Boyi Kao~~,
Haha~~
Do you know where the name Boyikao comes from?" Bai Fengxian asked softly.
"This..." When Chen Zhi was asked about this, he did hesitate:
Not much is written about this man in history?
Even if there are records, they are mainly about this legend.
"I really don't know about this!" Chen Zhi replied,
"Actually, I have also thought about it. Since he is the eldest son of the Ji family in Xiqi, why didn't he put the surname Ji first, just like his father Ji Chang and his younger brother Ji Fa."
"That's right!" Bai Fengxian sighed softly,
"Because he has the national surname on his body, and the national surname is higher than his own surname.
Yi was actually his title at that time.
His original name is Ji Kao!
Ji's surname, given name, "Bo" is his ranking.
"Yi" is the title given to him by the court when he was born.
When he was born, someone immediately reported him to the Nine-tailed Sky Fox, and the Su family was very happy.
Immediately issued a decree of favor and rewarded him countless times. He was personally given the title of "Yi" and ranked before the princes.
Do you understand now?
The status of Boyikao is actually higher than that of his father, Xibo Hou Jichang!"
"What?",
Bai Fengxian's words actually surprised Chen Zhi.
"You are saying that this is Boyikao, the eldest son of Xibohou. He has been loved by the Nine-tailed Sky Fox since he was born, so he was given such a noble title.
So how did something like that happen later? How could he be killed so easily?
No..." Chen Zhi shook his head when he thought about this:
"The nature of the fox tribe is changeable, and the nine-tailed sky fox has a ferocious and cruel temperament. Maybe she no longer liked the young prince later and had lustful thoughts again, so she killed him..."
"It's up to you to think about these for yourself. I will only state the facts and will not comment...",
When Bai Fengxian said this, he took back his words.
I closed my eyes, still twirled the tea with my slender jade fingers, and wrote two words on the table, "Tai Si".
Then he said softly...
“In your human history, who was Boyikao’s biological mother?
I guess she is the same person as Ji Fa's biological mother, right?
It’s a human woman, Taisi…
But in fact I can tell you a fact, which was known to everyone in the world at that time.
At that time, the world was governed by divine authority, and all princes and princes inherited the divine blood.
With the exception of Emperor Zhou and Emperor Xin, the wives of various princes and kings are basically from the fox tribe. Even if they are not from the fox tribe, they are descendants of gods.
In particular, Xibohou Jifa's direct wife is a very close clansman to the Nine-tailed Sky Fox, and she is a fox girl.
In other words, Boyikao is a child of their fox tribe.
He is the closest to the fox clan and is born with a noble status, so he dares to bring treasures to the nine-tailed sky fox to plead for his father.
There is one more thing I want to tell you.
At that time, the world was ruled by the gods Wei, and the gods were supreme. However, there were three serious crimes that even the gods could not forgive...
First, disrespect to the God-Emperor
Second, the gods broke their promises and broke their promises.
Third, direct relatives cannibalize each other, which is what you humans call, the father eats the flesh of his direct son!"
