As soon as they saw that Ji Chang was gone, a group of ministers present quickly knelt down in response, nodded with a smile on their faces, stretched out their hands to hold Jiang Ziya's arm and said:
"After I leave, you need to keep an eye on Hao Fa'er and show him the way forward."
As he spoke, he took Ji Fa's hand and said:
"Xiang Xiang is a noble man from Xiqi. Now you worship him as your father-in-law. In the future, you will listen to your father-in-law's words more and don't be reckless. My son knows this."
Ji Fa quickly nodded and bowed to Jiang Ziya. When he finished bowing, Jiang Ziya quickly helped Ji Fa up. At this moment, Ji Chang looked at San Yisheng and nodded slightly. After San Yisheng nodded in response, Ji Chang closed his eyes and died directly.
.
When Ji Chang died, the whole country in Xiqi paid tribute to him. On the day of Ji Chang's burial, Ji Fa spread the word that the whole country was rebelling.
…
"Yo yo yo, has it really started? Xiqi established himself as the Western Zhou Dynasty, Ji Fa claimed to be King Wu and broke with the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and also sued me for the ten deadly sins, tsk tsk, it's really interesting."
In the main hall of the Chaoge Palace, Xiao Jiang looked at a piece of memorandum with the royal seal and was amazed. He handed the memorandum to Bigan and said:
"Xiqi has rebelled. Please read the message and discuss it later. I have sent someone to inform Grand Master Wen that this matter is not a trivial matter. We need to think carefully about how to deal with the Xiqi rebels and how to deal with the changes in the world."
Bigan read the proclamation and handed it to King Wucheng Huang Feihu. Huang Feihu handed it to Jizi. After passing it along, everyone looked angry. Xiao Jiang touched his beard and said with a confused smile:
"Ji Chang and Boyikao were assassinated. The killer said that I was the one sent to eradicate the roots. Do you think I am so ridiculous? Ji Chang gave birth to hundreds of sons. To eradicate the roots, he had to kill them all. Why did he only kill Ji Chang and Boyikao?
What about two people?
There are also these ten major crimes. I don't know how to defend them. They say that I slaughtered important ministers, suppressed the princes, deceived the people, fooled the royal family, deceived the mind and corrupted morals, committed adultery in the palace, poisoned the world, disrespected heaven and earth, was shameless and nepotistic.
Each of these items also has some event labels, tsk tsk, there are many that I have never even thought of."
As he said this, Xiao Jiang looked at Wei Zi consciously, but this guy was really big-hearted. He lowered his head expressionlessly and didn't even look at Xiao Jiang's position.
Bigan waited for everyone to read and said:
"Your Majesty, this Xiqi rebelled on the pretext that Ji Chang and Boyikao were killed. They said that the killer confessed and said he was sent by the King, but they also said that the killer was caught and died of serious injuries. This is called death without evidence. It is not convincing at all.
, that is, they dare to do this.
Now that they have rebelled and we have not made any move, the people of the world will think that the king really has some leverage in their hands, and I will think that not only will we send troops, but we will also be able to attack and order the princes of the world to gather outside the pass to suppress Xiqi Jifa'er."
Xiao Jiang looked at the others with a smile. Huang Feihu stepped out and said:
"I also believe that we should send troops to suppress Xiqi. Otherwise, the reputation of your Majesty, the leader of the world, will be tarnished. If this continues, those foolish people will think it is true."
"I second the proposal."
The other ministers all came out to support sending troops. Xiao Jiang had already made plans. He nodded and said:
"Xiqi has secretly trained an army for many years for the purpose of rebellion. Today they have set up a rebellion flag. It seems they can't bear it any longer. Next, Uncle Bigan will prepare an edict on my behalf to announce to the world what Ji Chang has done over the years.
As for who was responsible for their murder, we are currently unable to verify it, but it is impossible for me to take the blame.
They rebelled against us and started a crusade, and people would die as soon as the war started. I think the people in Xiqi also understand this, but they don't care about the safety of their own people, but I can't ignore it.
The longer this war drags on, the more people will suffer. Therefore, we must fight quickly and win with one blow to restore peace to the world.
So I decided to personally lead the troops to Xiqi. Huang Feihu was the leading general and ordered one hundred thousand troops to accompany me on the expedition. Fei Zhong Youhun served as the guard. Uncle Bigan arranged the transportation of grain, grass and weapons, and at the same time he supervised the country on my behalf."
Xiao Jiang wants to go on a personal expedition, which has long been discussed with Bigan and others. Bigan knows that he will not object, Huang Feihu is confident that he can protect the king's safety and will not object, Wei Zi is eager for Xiao Jiang to go, let alone object.
Jizi, who was also from the clan, came out and said:
"Your Majesty wants to personally conquer Xiqi. Does this mean you are placing too much emphasis on Xiqi? Just let King Wu Cheng lead the army to solve the problem. Nothing will happen to your king's body of thousands of gold."
Xiao Jiang laughed and said:
"Uncle Wang, don't worry. Besides, this Xiqi has accused me of ten sins. If I stay in Chaoge out of fear, I will be in vain as the co-lord of the world.
I will fight in person and let the princes of the world understand that those who slander me will have to bear the wrath of the king. If the rebels of Xiqi are not destroyed, the world will never have peace."
From the very beginning, Xiao Jiang had no intention of avoiding the battle and waiting for it. He took the initiative to disrupt the Saint's arrangements. Then the Battle of the Gods would accelerate and eventually break away from the Saint's control. It is hard to say whether the outcome would be like the Shang Dynasty of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
.
As long as the clan doesn't stop everything, everything will be easy to handle, and Jizi's ability to manage the country is no less than that of Bigan. He has also been responsible for many important affairs in recent years. He can see that the king has a great strategy, so he does not want to stop him.
It's just a matter of persuasion to fulfill the minister's wishes.
Xiao Jiang looked at it and saw that everyone no longer objected to him and said:
"Tomorrow King Wucheng will gather his troops and prepare to leave. Let the people of the world understand one thing, that is, Xiqi has been prepared to rebel against business. As for the murder of Ji Chang and Boyikao, if Ji Fa cannot produce evidence,
I think everyone in the world will know what happened."
…
"What? How could this happen? This Emperor Xin is actually so cruel and domineering, and the edict written by Bi Gan for him is so sharp. What should we do?"
A few days later, in the Xiqi Palace, King Wu Jifa looked at the edict issued by Xiao Jiang with fear. It refuted the slander of Emperor Xin one by one, and also ordered the princes of the world, King Qin, to destroy the Xiqi rebels, especially
Emperor Xin personally led an army of 100,000 to attack, which shocked the entire Xiqi.
Although Xiqi had an army of 150,000, and the Yin and Shang Dynasties only sent 100,000 troops, the effects of the two were different. After Xiao Jiang replaced Emperor Xin, his army became stronger and stronger, and his support for him was extremely high. On the contrary, Xiqi's ten
Although the 50,000-strong army is well-trained, Ji Changcai died and the army was already in turmoil. Now that the leader of the world is calling for a crusade, at least half of the soldiers will be frightened.
Jiang Ziya was originally ordered to go down to assist Xiqi. Although he had high theoretical knowledge, it was his first time to actually operate. When the killer said that Emperor Xin sent someone to kill Ji Chang, Jiang Ziya didn't believe it.
The incident would have been done by Emperor Xin, but Ji Fa was in a rage, and under San Yisheng's instigation, Ji Fa ignored him and sent out an almost fictitious message, and then declared himself king and broke with the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
, Xiuwen also wanted to kill Emperor Xin to tell the world, which made Jiang Ziya feel a little uneasy.
