Chapter 35 The showdown is over, don't pretend, I'm the faint-hearted king!
"Western religion has devoted itself to Taoism, Hongjun. This is your last effort."
During the court song, Huang Shang listened to the reports from the ministers on the reform and closure of the princes from all directions, and looked down at the overall situation of the human world.
Not only from the perspective of Humanity Leader Huang Shang, but also countless light spots appeared in his mind.
Every point of light represents a divine descendant.
The plot of Taiyi Zhenren accepting Nezha as his disciple allowed Zhan Maniac to take advantage of the situation. Similarly, during the war between the two sects on the Xiqi border, a large wave of immortals changed their core processors.
The reincarnator is indeed a demon. As long as the strong plot player reveals a slight flaw or is in a weak state, the source of power will immediately take advantage of it and perform a divine subjugation.
Taiyi Zhenren became Zhan Madman, Xiao Sheng was in charge of Luobao's money, Cao Bao became one of his own, and even the current Ran Deng Taoist was Su Xin, the leader of the neutral faction.
The Ten Heavenly Lords and the Four Saints of Kowloon Island actually had a chance, but because they were too close to each other, they would be easily exposed once the gods descended, so they gave up wisely.
There is no need for interception in the first place.
The heavenly secrets are in chaos, the heavenly numbers are gone, and there are no names on the list of gods. Everyone is on the list based on bad luck. Will the leader of Tongtian be willing to be manipulated?
"The Academy is allowed to show off its power and power, spread strange laws, violate the ancestral system, cause the princes to repeat themselves, and cause injustice all over the world. Please punish them for their serious crimes!"
While considering the internal dangers of Immortal Dao, Prime Minister Shang Rong's voice sounded again.
Wei Ziqi immediately stepped out and began to argue: "This is wrong..."
However, during this period of time, he had been protecting the academy and had become a lonely minister. Now he could barely afford hot pot. As for his power, he had long been evaded by his subordinate officials. Even Fei Zhong and You Hun had their own positions.
In addition, there is no excuse to accuse Huang Shang, and the disciples in the academy are always trying to eat the fireworks of the world. The nobles have endless methods, and a total of seven deadly sins are listed. Each of them seems to be reasonable and difficult to refute.
, and soon several ministers came out and sent out a series of attacks, suppressing Wei Zi Qiye.
Shang Rong ignored this former young master who only had the title of prime minister and no power as prime minister. His cloudy eyes became sharp and he looked at Huang Shang, with a fighting spirit in his old face.
At the court, Wen Zhong, Bigan and other important ministers did not help each other, Wei Ziqi had no help, and the rest were firmly opposed to the reform.
With such a huge gap, what other methods did King Zhou have?
Of course!
Huang Shang said simply: "No!"
Shang Rong's face changed slightly and he knelt down: "Your Majesty, please think again! Your Majesty, please think again!"
Huang Shang sneered: "I've thought about it, but I won't allow it!"
In many dynasties, the relationship between the emperor and his ministers was not only about ruling, but also about fighting for power. Especially when it came to being a good king and maintaining the stability of the court, it was really difficult to deal with the methods of the aristocracy.
But he's not that deep into the drama yet.
It's not like the gods are the emperor, King Zhou is just a layer of skin, the purpose is to cooperate with Huang Shang's preaching, make the Taoism prosperous, and suppress the Immortal Taoism during this special period of conferring gods.
so……
It's time to show off, stop pretending, I'm a "foolish king"!
No matter what tricks you guys use, Baoxue Palace is Baoxue Palace. During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, if a ruler really wanted to do whatever he wanted, he could do it.
Although after his term ends, his fate may be very miserable, but his efforts for the motherland are seen and remembered in the hearts of many people.
Tears.
After Huang Shang refuted Shang Rong's suppression of the academy, he began to ask about business: "How is the canal?"
Bigan stepped out: "Reporting to Your Majesty, with the support of the Dragon Clan of the East China Sea Dragon Palace, everything is going well."
As soon as this statement came out, the officials looked a little strange.
Although we know that this world has strange people and strangers, fairy monsters and beasts, and the Dragon Clan from all over the world are not legends but real, this is the first time that the dynasty has cooperated with the Dragon Clan.
However, the Dragon Clan is really useful. For example, the opening of canals and the extensive construction of waterways this time were unimaginable in the past. I don’t know how much manpower and material resources it will cost. But with the help of the Dragon Clan, the difficulty has been reduced by more than a hundred times.
In just a few months, there has been tremendous progress. If this continues, the north and south will be connected, and the world's goods can be transported by water. As long as the canal is controlled, the central government's dominance will reach an unprecedented level, and the princes will not be able to surrender even if they want to.
!
"Retreat!"
After Huang Shang inquired about many matters related to the canal, he stood up with satisfaction and left gracefully, leaving only a group of prime ministers and doctors with ugly faces.
Half an hour later, at Shang Rong's mansion, a group of conservative ministers gathered together to discuss what to do next.
Shang Rong's eyes became cloudy again, and he finally realized one thing. In fact, King Zhou had not changed fundamentally. He was still so arbitrary, willful and domineering, and his power was becoming more and more stable. Their confrontation seemed futile.
.
As a result, the officials were helpless.
In the original plot of Fengshen, can they persuade King Zhou to depose Daji and stop doing the wrong thing?
cannot!
So now, they can't persuade King Zhou to support the academy, spread knowledge, and free slaves.
The plan to block the preaching in the academy from above was shattered.
Seeing the anxious discussions among the doctors, Shang Rong slowly closed his eyes and made up his mind.
…
"Beibo Hou Chonghou Hu and Jizhou Hou Suhu accused each other of treason. Why?"
"I'm telling you, Your Majesty, Su Hu is loyal and devoted to the country and has no intention of turning back. He was forced by Bei Bohou Chonghou Hu!"
"The Chonghou Tiger is rampant in the fish and meat village. He is arrogant and domineering and does not respect the king's orders. This time he has violated the ancestral system and conspired to rebel. We should send troops to suppress it as soon as possible!"
One month later, the atmosphere in the court became solemn again.
It's just that this time the topic of discussion has changed from the academy to the eight hundred princes in the world.
Needless to say, Chonghou Hu is one of the four most powerful princes in the world, and Jizhou Su Hu should not be underestimated. Like Beihai Yuan Futong, he is one of the strongest princes among the four great princes.
Jizhou is located in the northwest. As one of the nine states designated by Dayu, it was the center during the Xia Dynasty. Today it is located at the border of Beiyuan and Xiqi. It is also the scope, strategy and geographical location of the Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of Zhao, Wei and Han.
are all important.
Su Hu had been in Jizhou for many years. As a staunch class supporter, he suppressed the slaves under his rule and did not hesitate to use iron and blood methods to maintain his absolute rule.
It is a pity that when Beibo Hou Chonghou Hu promulgated the new policy, the first thing he targeted was the population of Jizhou. In the past year, there was a large-scale slave defection in Jizhou.
The Beiyuan is barren, vast and sparsely populated. Even though the area is ten times that of Jizhou, the population is only about half more. If Chonghou Hu wants to develop, where will the slaves come from?
It's impossible to go to the east. Beihai was the first to liberate slaves, followed closely by Donglu. It's impossible to go to the west. Ji Chang's control over slaves is too strict. There are two choices to go south, or go to the central ruling area actually controlled by King Zhou.
Or Jizhou.
Therefore, it was clearly a defection, but it was actually a population robbery. Chonghouhu's younger brother, Chongheihu, had a sacred eagle that could be seen thousands of miles away, and specially sneaked into Jizhou to instigate slaves to riot.
The process went smoothly.
When the slaves in Jizhou heard that slaves in other places had hope, they were no longer willing to live the hopeless life in front of them. Chongheihu selected a group of slave leaders to come out, each mobilized the slaves under his command, agreed on a secret code, and rioted together.
This was a civil strife. When the slave uprising was in full swing in Jizhou, Chonghou Hu personally led an army of 30,000 people and was ready to go.
The slave riot was just an excuse. When Jizhou was in chaos, Chonghou Hu sent troops to "help" in the name. As for whether this "reinforcement" would return after suppressing the slaves, that is a matter of debate.
However, Su Hu was also an old nobleman, and Ji Chang was his idol. He was very alert to the movements of slaves, and immediately suppressed the riot, and actually planned to ambush Chong Heihu and capture him.
Chonghou Hu lost his brother and surrendered his troops. He was furious and immediately attacked Jizhou. At the same time, both sides sued Chaoge and accused the other party of rebellion.
There is no doubt that the civil servants headed by Shang Rong will definitely support Su Hu.
They spoke decisively and brought out Chonghou Hu's past reputation. They wished that the imperial court would immediately send troops to destroy Chonghou Hu, and then let Su Hu become Beibeihou to bring order to the chaos.
Huang Shang did not comment and looked at Wen Zhong: "What do you think, Grand Master?"
Wen Zhong has been in a bad state of mind recently and often feels trance-like. His eyes, which were so majestic in the past, are also closed. Hearing this, his voice is low and authentic: "I have been feeling unwell recently. Please ask your Majesty to invite someone else."
Shang Rong and other officials thought that Wen Zhong did not want to participate in the fight between the two factions, but Huang Shang knew that Wen Zhong must have learned about his master's attitude towards helping Xiqi, and was in an extremely conflicting stage.
Loyalty and filial piety cannot have both ends.
After Wen Zhong retreated, Wucheng King Huang Feihu came out and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army."
Shang Rong's eyes showed satisfaction.
The Huang family of military generals undoubtedly has an aristocratic style. Although Huang Feihu is an upright person and does not like party disputes, he cannot withstand the influence of Mr. Huang. Huang Feihu's expedition this time is more in line with their interests than Wen Zhong.
However, Huang Shang waved his hand: "Ai Qing is the king of the country, how can you do anything lightly? You have four sons, Huang Tianhua, Huang Tianlu, Huang Tianjue, and Huang Tianxiang, who are all generals. This time, we will use them to lead the troops and put an end to this chaos.
!”
Shang Rong's face darkened, and the officials hurriedly came to remonstrate.
King Wu Cheng's four sons all attended the academy. Most of the children in the academy were second generation. The young people were full of enthusiasm and were willing to change the injustice in the world. They were different from the old men who only knew how to maintain class rule.
Otherwise, how can we allow them to take advantage of the opportunity to seize military power?
Huang Shang vetoed it again, and then added a young general: "Chentangguan guards Li Jing and is loyal to the country. Now we have a son, Nezha, who can take on a big task. He is appointed as the vanguard to quell the chaos!"
…
"Chen Qi pays homage to the Marquis!"
"General Chen, please rise. My brother Heihu's life must be entrusted to General!"
At the border of Jizhou, Chonghou Hu warmly received the reinforcements from Donglu.
This is a coalition of reformists to fight against conservatives and to unite with the outside world.
Chonghou Hu was arrogant and arrogant. He was originally unwilling to ask for help from Jiang Wenhuan, but he didn't expect that Su Hu's Jizhou was not as easy to win as he thought. His brother Chong Heihu, who relied on him the most, was defeated and captured alive by the enemy.
I had to ask for help.
Chong Houhu thought that his brother Chongheihu was so powerful in Taoism that he capsized in the gutter. But Chen Qi, who is now a legitimate general of Donglu, knew that the matter was not that simple after hearing the cause and effect.
Because the other party was captured by a stranger named Zheng Lun. When he was fighting with Chong Heihu, a bell-like sound suddenly came from his nose, and two white lights spurted out and went straight into his ears. Chong Heihu said with force
No one can resist the law, but after hearing his voice, he felt dizzy and fell off his horse.
Chen Qi felt that it was so familiar!
After further research on the intelligence, I found that Zheng Lun also had three thousand crow soldiers under his command, coming and going like the wind, specifically to assist him in capturing enemy generals. I felt a sense of déjà vu!
What was even worse than the shirt-swapping was undoubtedly the supernatural power. Chen Qi decided to meet Zheng Lun for a while.
The opportunity came soon.
"Zheng Lun is here, who dares to fight!"
The two armies faced each other, and the generals called for formation. A general with purple face and hair, a long nose and a wide mouth rushed out from the Jizhou army, holding a magic pestle. Behind him were three thousand crow soldiers, holding hooks and lassoes, flying like a long snake.
Come forward with great momentum.
He showed off his force and shouted loudly, which greatly boosted the morale of the Jizhou army. On the other hand, the Northern Principle showed fear and did not dare to fight against this stranger who was bound to capture the enemy general.
"I'll do it!"
Until Chen Qi came out of the formation, slapped the beast with flaming eyes and golden eyes, and rushed forward. The two sides looked at each other and locked onto each other. When they were still five hundred steps away, they spoke at the same time.
"Huh! Ha! Huh! Ha!"
"Who sent you to me..."
Sorry, I couldn't help singing it.
However, the two men were really ups and downs and very rhythmic. The two men, Heng Ha, fell into a state of involution and fought evenly, with no difference between the top and the bottom.
In the formation of the two armies, Chonghou Hu looked very nervous. The face of the handsome Su Hu also turned cold, and he said to the left and right: "Call Zhang Kui and Gao Lanying!"
Not long after, a man and woman rode strange beasts and came to the front of the formation. They raised their hands to Su Hu and said, "Master Hou!"
Su Hu was very polite to them: "This battle will depend on the ability of the Xian couple!"
Compared to Zheng Lun, who was originally a grain transport officer and was recently promoted, these two are his trump cards.
The man's name is Zhang Kui. He seems to be an ordinary man, but in fact he is good at martial arts. He can travel 1,500 miles a day, 500 miles more than Tu Xingsun. He is elusive and unpredictable.
The female general named Gao Lanying was Zhang Kui's wife. She was dressed in plain clothes. She wore a silver crown with hair tied on her head and held two swords. She was very beautiful. She had a red gourd on her waist, and there seemed to be light shining inside.
"Don't dare! Don't dare!"
Zhang Kui and Gao Lanying said a few words of humility, patted their crotch and the one-horned black smoke beast flew towards the enemy like a burst of black smoke, flying clouds and lightning.
They were originally small county guards, but now that Su Hu had placed them in a position of general, they naturally wanted to show off their skills to repay the kindness of their friends.
Wherever the smoke and clouds went at this moment, there was no obstacle from any enemy formation, allowing the two of them to head towards the central army.
Target Chonghouhu!
Take the enemy's head in the midst of thousands of troops!
"Protect the Marquis!"
The Beiyuan Army was immediately frightened, especially the Guards. They spread out their Xuanwu Formation and attacked the two men.
"Go!"
Zhang Kui's direction did not change, and the red gourd on Gao Lanying's waist opened, and forty-nine sun needles were shot out into the eyes of the soldiers.
"ah!"
Everyone was caught off guard. Suddenly, there was a flash of golden light in front of them. Their eyes felt stinging and they subconsciously covered their eyes. They had lost the opportunity.
Zhang Kui's figure was like lightning, and he slashed out with his sword. The couple cooperated with each other in perfect harmony. In an instant, blood burst out. The elite guards under Chonghou Hu's command were cut off one after another, and their heads flew up like a fountain.
The extremely sharp sword struck the Chonghei Tiger head-on.
Chonghou Hu held the Zhanjin axe, and after only blocking a few moves, he felt that the tiger's mouth was cracking. He did not dare to use the sword directly, so he ducked away and shouted for help.
Even King Zhou in the original plot was able to go into battle and defeat the enemy in person after being hollowed out by Daji's beauty. As one of the four major princes, Chonghou Hu also has the courage to be unworthy of any man, but facing Zhang Kui
It's really impossible to compete with such a master.
Zhang Kui and Gao Lanying are indeed rare talents. In Fengshen Yanyi, this couple is similar to Zheng Lun, they both have low official positions but high abilities.
When they appeared on the stage, King Wu's attack on Zhou was at the last moment. The leader of the Tongtian Sect passed through the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, and the Jie Sects rushed to the street collectively.
It looked like a complete victory, but it was blocked by a mere county guarded by the couple.
Not only was the army defeated, Huang Feihu, Chong Heihu, Deng Chanyu, Tu Xingsun and other generals were all killed by Zhang Kui and his wife. Guan Yu killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou, which shocked the world.
It was Yang Jian who used a poisonous trick to kill Zhang Kui's mother, disturbed his mind, and destroyed his mount, the one-horned black smoke beast, and then surrounded and blocked Zhang Kui and his wife with Nezha, Wei Hu, Lei Zhenzi and others.
.
Closer to home, in fact, Zhang Kui is not good at defending the city. His style is more focused on assassination. This time, he showed his strength, sprinting, capturing the enemy first and capturing the king first.
"Compared with the military strength, the gap between the two sides is obvious. Beiyuan has an army of 100,000, but Jizhou only has 30,000. Without the help of such strange people and strangers, the battle will be defeated!"
"The teacher has said that all warriors must use the right combination and win by surprise. Strange people and strange people can win a small victory, but they cannot stop the great trend. Liberating slaves and developing productivity is the right way!"
While the two armies were fighting, Huang Tianhua and his three younger brothers were watching the battle from a distance and making corresponding comments.
Huang Tianhua is young, has a dignified appearance, wears a hair crown, wears gold mail, has a pair of bright silver hammers with plum blossoms in his hands, and rides a jade unicorn, he is very powerful.
The three brothers on the left and right have similar appearance and equipment to him, but their aura is slightly inferior, so they only follow his lead.
These are Huang Feihu's four sons.
They are the generals, they have a family background, and they entered the academy to further their studies. With Huang Shang's guidance, they integrated civil and military skills. This time they led the army alone and had a heavy responsibility. Although they were excited, they did not worry about gains and losses at all. They were still
As steady as Mount Tai, he has the demeanor of a general.
Being brave and skilled, they started a rapid march. In just ten days, they led the king's army from Chaoge to the battlefield, just in time to catch up with the climax of the war.
Next, it is time to decide which party to help is in the best interest of the central government.
Huang Tianhua rolled his eyes and suddenly looked behind him: "Nezha, which army do you think we should help?"
A child with red lips and white teeth, an elegant and easy-going temperament, raised his head from the book he couldn't put down, smiled and said a wise suggestion: "Aba Aba..."
