On the third day of the Shouqiu Rebellion, conflicts broke out here every day. Now Shouqiu has become the main battlefield of the conflict. People from various tribes do not produce during the day, but only fight. And on this day, the leaders
Traveling day and night, people covered with stars and moonlight arrived here, but before they had time to release their horses, the leaders had already led their men into the fighting area.
Suddenly there was chaos here!
“People from the Central Plains!”
Someone saw Chonghua and the others wearing the clothes of the Central Plains and immediately took action. Gao Tao took action at the side, and seven or eight people were immediately slapped and flew away. However, the crowd was boiling, and Gao Tao did not dare to take action without hesitation.
At that moment, someone came to Chonghua, grabbed his arm, and slashed with his sword!
Boom!
A thunderous sound suddenly stopped the boiling sound for a moment. Lightning flashed across Chonghua's body for a moment, and then disappeared without a trace. This loud noise made many people around him suddenly look at him.
He stopped moving briefly.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the momentum of the big leaders and the big totem warriors they brought quickly suppressed the rioting crowds on both sides. Although there were also big totem warriors in the crowd, they were pulled down by the sober companions.
, and gradually calmed down.
“Yes, it’s the leaders!”
"The leaders are here! People of the Bai people, wait for death!"
When some people from the Dongyi tribe saw the leaders of the Nine Tribes, they suddenly felt like they could see the moonlight when the clouds cleared. However, the Bai people looked sad, and the leader of the Bai Min Kingdom was even more angry. He ignored them and faced the leaders.
They angrily said:
“The people of Dongyi are killing my people. This is an irreconcilable hatred!”
Chonghua stepped forward, but looked directly at him and did not say anything about the misunderstanding.
This made Master Gaotao very strange, so he said: "Chonghua, why don't you speak... This must be a misunderstanding..."
Chonghuadao: "Say it's a misunderstanding, it will make the leader of the Bai Republic even more angry. Besides, with so many people dead, it's not something that can be solved with just two words."
“Lord Gaotao, if this happened in the Central Plains and was a fight between two tribes, how would you handle it?”
Gao Tao said: "After questioning, examine carefully and then impose punishment... The three crimes are all there, and the five punishments are not abolished. What should be done, just follow it."
Chong Hua said: "The natural focus is to examine carefully. We need to see where the man who was shot to death is right away."
Chonghua paid no attention to Lord Bai Min, but asked to see the man who was shot to death. Lord Bai Min looked at his silhouette walking aside and asked his people if they knew anyone. A businessman with Bai Min said: "Guo Min
Lord, he is Yao Chonghua, who did business in Shouxiu, and later came to Shangqiu to govern the area. He was promoted to Tao Tang because of his merits in controlling water..."
“He is Yao Chonghua!”
Lord Baimin stared at Chonghua’s profile for a while and said coldly: "After all, he is a Dongyi person. Even if he puts on the clothes of the Central Plains, he still cannot change his intention to face Dongyi in his bones!"
"Let Dongyi decide the matter between the Central Plains and Dongyi, he will definitely favor Dongyi!"
Your mother’s banana man, get out of the Central Plains!
Gao Tao heard this and looked at him coldly, shouting to him from a distance: "The Dongyi people serve as officials in the Central Plains and come to help mediate the affairs between the Central Plains and Dongyi. You don't know his nature, so you do such a biased thing."
The conclusion is that when the Central Plains people arrived in Dongyi, Shaohao and Chi You did not get along, and Chi You left the tribe, but Shao Hao did not favor the Central Plains people!"
“Then according to what you say, it’s better to find someone from Baiyue, someone from Sanmiao, or someone from Kunlun to settle the matter!”
The leader of the Republic of China sneered and said nothing. Isn't that what he was thinking? You should find someone from Baiyue or Sanmiao.
The atmosphere here was tense. When Chonghua looked at the corpse, the Central Plains people around him looked at him with hostility. Some people whispered that if the Dongyi people were officials in the Central Plains, they must still be facing Dongyi. After all, the Central Plains had suffered a big loss.
Chonghua said nothing. He saw blood on the heart of the corpse, but there was no injury from the arrow. The blood had dried up and seeped out from inside the heart. The power of the arrow had reached the body, but there were no wounds on the outside.
“What a marvelous skill....”
Chonghua had never seen this kind of archery before, and was stunned for a long time.
How to find the murderer?
You murderers... This is really an understanding of murder that is beyond the times. Murderers in the past always created their own alibi. My dear, now you have even provided an alibi for the murder weapon.
Chonghua murmured in his heart.
I really like to make people's work more difficult. With the skills of this killer, I can't even hire him without five dollars.
But fortunately, the intention of finding the murderer was secondary. Chonghua had already made a calculation in his mind. Since he didn't know how the arrow killed someone, it no longer mattered who the murderer was.
“Everyone, be quiet and please listen to me...”
Chonghua opened his mouth and his eyes fell on Guozhu Bai Min.
Chonghua could conclude that the death of Bai Min was definitely the act of the Four Emperors, but there was no evidence now, and the Central Plains must have received news of the Shouqiu Rebellion. At this time, the Central Plains should have been filled with anger.
...
It can only be said that Emperor Hong really did not regard his descendants as human beings....
“Those without benevolence, righteousness and morality still want to gain the right to sacrifice in the world. Wouldn’t the world return to a period of chaos?”
Di Hong was able to come up with such a damaging move, which probably gave him a dozen more white hairs.
Chonghua had something in mind. This time, the Four Emperors seemed to be coming for him and Lord Gaotao.
The hexagram is damaged, the lower part is damaged and the upper part is benefited, and its connection is upward.
“Lord Gaotao....”
So Chonghua asked for a pair of tortoise shells on the spot. When he was getting the tortoise shells, he said the word "loss" to Lord Gaotao.
“The people of Dongyi believe in the heaven, and the people of the Central Plains respect the emperor of heaven. Now let’s make a hexagram and see what the will of heaven is like.”
When everyone heard this method, there was no objection.
Divination before important events is a common practice.
Gao Tao was originally the great leader of Dongyi. As he matured into a mature man, he immediately understood the meaning of the word "loss". When he took the tortoise shell, he used a knife to draw some light marks on it.
Thereupon the flames rose, Chonghua spoke to everyone, and offered sacrifices to the Emperor of Heaven and the Heaven of Dongyi on the spot. The Qionglu came up, and God gave bright light. So when the hexagram appeared, it was the "loss hexagram"!
"God's will has been revealed! This matter was deliberately done by someone to push the Central Plains and Dongyi to be at odds with each other. They were killing people with 'borrowed arrows'!"
The Dongyi people believed more in the will of heaven. They all looked stunned at this time, but they still maintained a look of suspicion. The Bai people were also puzzled. The leader of the Bai Republic frowned and looked at Yao Chonghua, but he did not expect that Chonghua was also looking at him.
Chonghua told everyone that this time the Central Plains sent people to Dongyi to use the eastward route to conquer the Wei Kingdom. At this time, if the Central Plains and Dongyi fought against each other, it would naturally be beneficial to the Wei Kingdom.
So the Dongyi people suddenly seemed to be awakened, their expressions changed indefinitely, and the white people in the Central Plains also looked at each other in shock.
"Furthermore, when this matter is taken together, we can also see the problem. The Central Plains and Dongyi have been in peace and harmony for many years. It turns out that it is just on the surface. Privately, they still have lingering hatred, so they were taken advantage of by the traitors this time.
..."
As Chonghua spoke, Lord Baimin retorted: "Although the hexagrams were obtained from the Emperor of Heaven and Heaven, they may not be completely accurate. If there really is someone who borrowed the arrows, where is the person who shot the arrows?"
“Can you excuse the Dongyi people based on a loss hexagram?”
Since ancient times, people in the Central Plains have had the custom of "good things are destined by God, bad things are up to you." Chonghua couldn't help but laugh a little.
“Since hunting, when arrows are shot, they have four elements: one is the bow, the second is the string, the third is the arrow, and the fourth is the target.”
“A bow without a string is useless; a bow without an arrow has no damage; a bow without an arrow has no target; but the last three without a bow are nothing but scattered sand.”
"The bow does not kill people, but the string and arrows kill people. The bow does not move but the strings and arrows move. But everyone in the world says it is the bow that kills people, but they never say it is the strings and arrows that kill people, because without a bow, they are useless.
Wherever the arrow lands, the opposite direction is the direction of the bow."
“The conflict between the Central Plains and Dongyi is caused by this big bow. If the injured person appears in Dongyi, then..."
“The arrow comes from it.”
These five words fell, and the Bai people were immediately shocked. There was a lot of anger on the spot, and they scolded him for being a member of the Dongyi people and dirtying the clothes of the Central Plains. But Chonghua said nothing and just looked at them like this.
At the same time, many Dongyi leaders have gradually come to their senses.
Shaochong clan...No, the Four Emperors!
Chief Maiqiu’s face turned red and he was furious!
“This is using us as a target!”
Those who were injured were people from the Central Plains, but they died in Dongyi's place. In addition, due to the previous recruitment of the Four Emperors, and the Central Plains' plan to conquer the Wei Kingdom, Dongyi protected the Wei Kingdom. At this time, the conflict broke out and became out of control.
Gao Tao also realized it at this time and shouted in his heart that it was not good!
People in Shouqiu have realized this, but the people in the Central Plains... are probably full of anger!
Gao Tao wanted Chonghua to go back immediately to the Central Plains and suppress this matter!
————
The land of Taotang at this time!
Emperor Fangxun formed a camp with Siyue, Qi, Yanlong, and Kui, thinking that something was fishy. However, the four emperors, Gonggong, and Huandou encouraged the people, saying that people from Dongyi were killing the people of Zhongyuan. The ministers had different ideas.
The Shaodian clan stayed behind closed doors, and the Fang Lei clan, Tong Yu clan, Chen Feng clan, etc. all remained silent!
Peng Zu, Bocheng Zigao, Qiao Chui and others also opposed the use of force. They believed that a conflict occurred directly without even an investigation. This is problematic no matter how you look at it.
Fuxi's Six Assistants arrived, together with Ge Tianshi, Su Lushi, etc. Although they did not know the situation clearly, they also opposed the Four Emperors' proposal.
The king must not raise an army in anger!
This fierce debate lasted for several days, and the people's reaction became more and more fierce. More and more tribal leaders came to the scene. Emperor Fangxun watched everything with cold eyes, those tribes who did not speak, and those who expressed their opinions to him in advance.
He kept all the tribes with bad attitude in his heart.
This battle, in the final analysis, is a battle of rights.
The Four Emperors also knew that after they conquered the throne, they would give in and let someone become the regent. At this time, the Four Emperors basically showed their cards, because they were waiting for such an opportunity.
Di Fangxun also has his own way of coping, which is "drag the secret".
The secret of dragging characters is the tenth secret of the nine secrets, and the effect lasts for 1s (funny).
However, this secret is also risky, because he really doesn't know much about Shouqiu's affairs. At this time, Fang Qi is going to investigate, and the people are releasing huge resentment every moment.
Didn’t you see that during the time of Shennong, what happened to the Susha family?
Therefore, Emperor Fangxun was under great pressure. If the four emperors took the initiative regarding public opinion and even the battle, then he might really be "overthrown."
The Four Emperors knew that most of the people would not support them. What the people upheld was the abdication system, so they raised the issue to a huge conflict between the alliances, involving the dignity of the tribe and the majesty of the alliance...
.
“It’s an old trick.”
This is an old trick used by the Four Emperors in the time of Emperor Zhi.
Di Fangxun couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he saw this situation.
Many years later, I became Emperor Zhi, but some people are still alive... The past years are still vivid in their minds, and this time they are not planning to nominate others, because this accident of their own has suppressed their six
Ten years....
And the secret of dragging characters quickly had an effect. Emperor Fangxun asked Yan Long to explain the truth and situation to the people, which meant that this expedition was not a trivial matter. If there was a war with Dongyi, many people must be summoned!
However, there are a large number of people, and the daily statistics are limited. Now Tao Tang is discussing the matter of offering sacrifices and going out for the expedition. Everyone is asked to contribute their own strength to the conquest of Dongyi!
This move really frightened the four emperors. They thought that Emperor Fangxun would maintain stability, but they didn't expect this bad old man to directly use a wartime mobilization move!
Not only did he win the hearts of the people, but he was also not criticized by others! Everyone said that the Emperor of Heaven was so powerful that he must let the Dongyi people have a taste of the power of the Central Plains!
This wave, this wave is a reverse charge!
The Four Emperors were really starting to get a little scared about this battle, because it was so big that it was beyond their control, and public opinion began to be out of their hands.
Di Fangxun sneered in his heart.
Don’t you want to do it? Let me help you make it bigger!
It’s so big that the whole Central Plains knows about it, and the spring plowing is no longer carried out!
As we all know, the larger the bubbles appear on the water flow, the faster they will burst!
"No, we must get the army out quickly. If anything happens, it will be difficult for these people to settle down!"
“Morality and righteousness, if a piece of fox skin is torn into pieces, the skeleton of a wolf will be exposed!”
The four emperors are worried here, but on the other side, Qi and Emperor Fangxun are discussing things.
“What will my brother do if he doesn’t return home?”
“Brother, don’t worry.”
Di Fangxun said to Qi, don't worry, brother, Fangqi will definitely not be able to come back within the time limit.
China was shocked on the spot, saying that you are old, are you seeking death?
Why do you want to run away to Daxia to find the third child? Take me with you.
"No hurry, no rush, we won't do the spring plowing anymore. The four emperors want to set an example. In two days, do you believe they are asking me to postpone the Eastern Expedition?"
The deed said: "If it lasts these two days, they will forcibly disobey the emperor's order, and go to seal the land and close the huge city to show the emperor's delay... for fear of rumors among the people..."
Di Fangxun said: "It seems that they have begun to try to criticize me among the people again. Are they saying that I am old, unable to know people well, a little indecisive, and have lost my spirit?"
“The emperor is old...but they are not wrong, I am indeed old.”
“I used to say: If a person is hungry, it is me who has starved him; if a person is cold, it is me who has frozen him; if a person is guilty, it is me who has harmed him..."
“Now, if a person dies, then I will kill him too.”
“Therefore, I think that since they are not prepared to obey the order, let us summon them again tomorrow.”
Di Fangxun’s brows moved, and the old man happily said to his elder brother:
"However, people outside are probably starting to know that I am sick now, but I still insist on going to the Eastern Expedition tomorrow. This is benevolent and righteous to the people. However, the spring plowing will not be carried out and the people have no food left in their homes. I suggest this.
, we took the lead in providing this army ration, the four emperors are all old emperors, and their status is prominent, so they should be given more..."
After hearing this, Qi was immediately stunned!
Good guy, good brother, that’s the end of my words, now you are taking advantage of this opportunity to ask for money, food, and materials from various imperial clans!
When they were plundered, they started complaining, and they were the ones who initiated the matter. In the end, the moral and righteous people stood by you!
The people have benefited, you have gained a reputation, you have also cut off some resistance to the new emperor, and screened out the Four Emperors faction and the Central faction...
As long as the Four Emperors are not evil, they will definitely oppose the Eastern Expedition!
Qi suddenly slapped Di Fangxun:
“Old man, you know how to play! He is as kind as heaven!”
You have taken all the benefits, but they are no longer human inside and out!
Di Fangxun chuckled and took out the precious bottle of vinegar.
“Come on, come on, have a few sips to celebrate...”
