Chapter 10 Shaking the government and the opposition
When the leader of the Jiuyi clan died, the Xingtian clan was the first to become furious.
They rushed forward wildly, no longer caring about their formation, and completely fell into the black bird formation.
As a result, attacks came from all directions, and spears pierced into the body.
No matter how tyrannical the race was, they were not the gods of war in ancient times after all. They were killed one by one.
The strength of the human race is reflected in the cooperation of the group rather than the bravery of individuals. On the other hand, the Xingtian Clan's era has long passed.
Facts have proved that no matter how powerful the army is, no matter how brave the race is, its morale will collapse.
Seeing the death of the clan leader and the death of all the Xingtian clan members who went to battle, the morale of the remaining Jiuyi clan completely collapsed, abandoning their helmets and armor, and fled all the way.
Naturally, the Shang army would not give up this great opportunity. The light of swords and shadows of guns turned into thousands of snow waves and charged towards them.
In the end, almost no one of the 6,000 Jiuyi warriors who went into battle survived, and they were all wiped out outside the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
The few surviving witch clansmen were carried by the feathered people, flapping their bloody wings, and entered the ancestral palace deep in the mountains. They prostrated themselves under the altar and shouted sternly: "High Priest, we have been defeated... The patriarch... The patriarch... he...
…Killed by the merchant army!”
The high priest was silent when he heard the words, with a sad expression on his face. After a while, he let out a long sigh: "The days are like this, the days are like this, seal the mountain!"
The Wu clan was shocked when they heard this: "Seal the mountain? But the clan leader said that once the mountain is closed, our clan will slowly die!"
The high priest waved his hand: "After the clan leader dies, I will temporarily take over as the leader of the Nine Yi clan. I ordered the mountain to be closed. I have my own intention, and you can just carry it out!"
At this point, everyone could only accept the order: "Yes!"
"Jiuyi has closed the mountain!"
Half a day later, on the edge of Shiwan Mountain, Huang Feihu, who had just recovered from the curse, blinked his eyes as he looked at the beam of light rising into the sky. He was full of disbelief and even suspected that he was dreaming.
This brilliant victory directly forced the Nine Yi tribe to close down the mountain?
From the beginning to the end, Dashang never thought about destroying the Nine Barbarians, because since Chi You's defeat, the remaining tribes fled here. If they could kill them, they would have been killed long ago, and there was no need to wait until now.
In fact, as long as they hide in the mountains, even if they send out ten times the force, they will not be able to wipe them out.
This is where the energy is not exhausted.
It has declined to the extreme, but it is not completely cut off yet.
After thousands of years, all the remaining races will disappear, leaving only the human race, and the Nine Barbarians will completely disappear in the long river of history.
This is natural selection.
The human race understands this truth, so they continue to inherit culture and strengthen themselves, which is why they now have the status of the leader of all spirits. They use the restriction of the earth's lung to curb the development of the Nine Barbarians, and achieve the greatest results at the smallest cost.
But now...
Against Jiuyi, there is no need to be so troublesome.
"Well done, Night King!"
Huang Shang smiled slightly, approvingly.
He has no foundation in the Gods and Demons Zone, and the Night King, who is originally neutral, is his only ally. And for the Night King, being able to build a relationship with this person who may become the ruler in the future and is worthy of the name of the boss of the reincarnation, is naturally more powerful than the Night King.
To seek refuge with others, it is better to be a borderline god or demon.
Therefore, the Night King fully cooperated with Huang Shang for the god subjugation plan. For this reason, he did not hesitate to choose the unpopular character of Jiuyi High Priest as the first target of the subjugation, in order to catch Huang Shang at the most difficult time when he had just arrived.
Get your first pot of gold.
Now done.
From the time when the Jiuyi tribe took the initiative to fight, made strategic mistakes, killed the tribe leader, was completely defeated, and finally decided to seal the mountain, the two sides had a wonderful cooperation.
This is also the horror of the deity plan. Two plot characters who are not important to the entire world can have a huge reaction and start to change the course of history.
Next, there’s more.
…
Donglu.
Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu stood on the highest city wall, looking into the distance with a frozen expression.
There were footsteps behind him, and the youngest son Jiang Wenhuan, who was not yet underage, walked out and looked at the wonderful scene in the sky in the distance: "Father, what is that?"
Jiang Huanchu murmured: "If the ancient records are correct, it is the Jiuyi people who sealed the Hundred Thousand Mountains. When they were defeated and fled into the mountains, they sealed the mountains with the blood of Jiuli soldiers..."
Although Jiang Wenhuan was young, he also knew the stakes and changed his expression: "How is this possible?"
"Don't say such words about what is happening in front of you!"
Jiang Huanchu said in a deep voice: "A dozen days ago, Wei Ziqi and Huang Feihu led ten thousand soldiers to conquer Jiuyi. If it was because of them, then His Highness King Shou would have a rival!"
The lower the expectations, the greater the surprise.
Based on Wei Ziqi's previous actions, this battle can repel the Nine Barbarians and achieve a small victory, which will impress both the government and the opposition.
Precisely because he knew this, in order to ensure that his daughter could be a good mother to the world, Jiang Huanchu did not give her any food or grass.
This move may displease Emperor Yi, but the old emperor's health is getting worse and worse, and his time is running out. Now he still has to look at the new king.
I never expected that even if they only had one month of food and grass, the other party would actually create an even greater miracle and force Jiuyi to close the mountain.
At least within a few decades, there is no need to worry about Jiubarbaria invading the country, and a serious problem for Dashang has been solved at once!
The key is that this kind of great achievement can completely offset Wei Ziqi's decadence in these years. The government and the public will automatically interpret it. This is to sharpen oneself, and only then can he achieve this blockbuster success.
Jiang Wenhuan was not interested in the fight for the throne. Although he was definitely leaning towards King Shou due to his sister's relationship, he still felt that the throne of King Shou was determined: "Father, don't worry, His Highness King Shou will not lose to Wei Zi."
It’s Kai!”
Jiang Huanchu said: "If he can stabilize his mind, the gap over the years will indeed not be erased. After all, all the veterans now support the legitimate son, and they are afraid that he will mess up his position!"
Jiang Wenhuan asked: "Father, what should we do?"
Jiang Huanchu shook his head: "We don't have to do anything. We are not Chaoge's ministers. We only need to manage the land of Donglu well. No matter who succeeds to the throne, he must rely on us and other four princes. Even if Wei Zi becomes emperor, he
I don’t dare to do anything to me, Donglu, but I’m afraid your sister’s life will be difficult when the time comes!”
Jiang Wenhuan finally became worried, returned to his room, took out the bamboo slips and started writing a letter.
After hurriedly writing a letter, he immediately ordered his most trusted taxi to ride overnight to Chaoge to report the news!
…
Just as Donglu was reacting to Jiuyi's closure of the mountain, another group of Taoists also came outside Shiwanda Mountain and looked at this scene in shock.
"How could this be?"
"These Jiuyi owe me the cause and effect of the Western Sect. If the mountains are closed at this time, if we miss the torrent of humanity again, when will our sect prosper?"
The eight Taoists under discussion were all strange in appearance, not resembling ordinary people, and their auras were even more incompatible with Eastern Immortal Taoism.
Their expressions were ugly, and after talking for a while, they all looked at the Taoist leader: "Brother Ditian, what should we do now?"
The tall and thin Taoist named Di Tian pursed his lips and scanned his eyes, looking for the mysterious thread of cause and effect: "One drink and one peck, could it be that it was predestined that the Jiuyi can have this place to live, it was given to them by my teaching?"
Since there is no way to repay this retribution, it will be borne by those who forced him to close the mountain! Found it!"
His palm rose, and the shadow of the black bird flashed on it. His eyes moved, as if he saw this place through layers of space, and there was a clear disdain in the bird's eyes.
They had seen this kind of disdain from the immortals and gods of Middle-earth a lot, so it was not surprising, but it was rare for the Great Shang royal family represented by Xuanniao.
Taoist Emperor Ditian calculated for a moment, with a look of compassion on his brow: "This person is destined to our religion, we must find him!"
The other seven Taoists heard this and all agreed: "Good!"
They moved vigorously and resolutely, immediately traced the scent, and soon arrived outside the battlefield. Looking down, they saw the merchant army who was cleaning the battlefield, collecting corpses and trophies.
And the royal family in the center wearing XXL armor and sleeping majesticly, isn't that the target?
Another Mohu Taoist said: "He is the eldest prince of Emperor Yi, Wei Ziqi. He originally had no hope of the throne, but now it seems that his fortune has greatly increased!"
Emperor Tiandao said: "Now that the world is in chaos, even the leader cannot settle everything. You must remember that you cannot treat him in the same old way. This son is destined to our sect. When he wakes up, let me have a word.
He knows that my teachings on the five aggregates, the four truths, and the twelve causes and conditions are wonderful, noble and virtuous, and of endless benefit."
The remaining seven Taoists agreed again: "Good!"
"Took the bait!"
Regarding the attention of the eight Taoists, Huang Shang had already noticed that the old god was still sleeping on the ground.
Although Jiuyi was just a minor player in the original plot, in fact, it affected the whole body. From a historical perspective, King Zhou conquered this place, which resulted in an empty Chaoge, which was taken advantage of by King Wu of Zhou. From a causal perspective,
The key piece that the Western religion lost is here. Now that there is a problem with the chess piece, the opponent will naturally react.
This fish is obviously ready to take the bait. The hook is straight and there is no bait, which does not hinder the urgency of Westerners.
Wei Zi starts fishing, and those who wish will take the bait!
As a result, Huang Shang slept for a whole day and a night, during which Huang Feihu did not dare to disturb him. After rubbing the buttocks of the five-color sacred cow, he let the love horse carry the eldest prince to Donglu City.
Even if Dongbo Hou Jiang Huanchu is biased, he will never do anything to the eldest prince, but out of precaution, he will collect the spoils, especially the bodies of the Xingtian clan, and will send them to Chaoge in the most shocking way.
Huang Feihu's political ideas are quite simple. This is not to create momentum, but to get what the eldest prince deserves.
Do it with a clear conscience.
Seeing that the eldest prince and Huang Feihu were separated, Taoist Emperor Ditian was even happier. He followed them all the way and watched the eldest prince snore all the way to sleep in Donglu City.
Jiang Huanchu and Jiang Wenhuan had been waiting for a long time. When they saw the dissolute prince sleeping all the way in front of them, they both raised their hands and said, "Your Highness!"
Huang Shang woke up and returned the greeting: "Jiang Houye! Jiang Xiaohouye!"
From the perspective of power, the head of the four major princes far exceeds that of a prince, and even from the perspective of status, the head of the four major princes also surpasses him.
This is the helplessness under the feudal system. The Shang Dynasty seemed to be a complete country, but the ministers of each vassal state were set by themselves. It could be said that there was a state within a state, but they were only dispatched by the central government.
However, unless they all rebel, if a vassal state rebels, Chao Ge does not need to be dispatched. He only needs to order it to besieged by the vassals, and the rebellion can be quelled. For example, Su Daji's father Su Hu failed to rebel in this way.
Therefore, today's four major princes still have some loyalty to Chaoge. After confirming Jiuyi's record, Jiang Huanchu and his son felt that the prince in front of them was unfathomable, so they did not dare to neglect him and entertained him with the highest standards.
Huang Shang did not refuse anyone who came. He ate well, drank well, played well and slept well. He was so happy that he couldn't even miss Shu.
But when Huang Feihu finished packing the loot, Jiang Huanchu here offered to squeeze out food and grass for the army to return, so he set off immediately without hesitation.
After bidding farewell, Jiang Huanchu looked at this man's back and sighed deeply: "His Highness's scheming is unfathomable, and King Shou is in danger!"
Jiang Wenhuan smiled happily: "Father, don't worry, I have already written a letter to my sister and asked her to advise His Highness Prince Shou!"
Jiang Huanchu's every move in the house could not be hidden from his eyes and ears. He also knew about his son's letter. He did not stop him, but he no longer liked it: "I'm afraid that King Shou won't listen!"
…
"Boom!"
Chaoge, Prince Shou's Mansion, with a shocking loud noise, a huge cauldron fell down and hit the ground with a bang. Smoke and dust suddenly flew everywhere, and the stone slabs cracked. The maids were silent, looking at the furious voice, the atmosphere was also
Don't dare to come out.
"Damn it, damn it! Wei Ziqi, how dare you deceive Yu Gu for fifteen years!"
The future King Zhou was indeed furious, gnashing his teeth and wishing to cut his brother into pieces.
It was not only the great victory from Jiuyi that made Emperor Yi Longyan so happy, nor was it just a subtle change in the atmosphere of the ministers, it was a kind of fooling.
He originally didn't take the fat brother who ate all day long into his eyes at all, but he never expected that the other person would develop under his nose without saying a word. As soon as Chaoge came out, he would be like a dragon swimming in the sea, and he would be out of control.
, looking at the current dynasty, Jiuyi in the east and Quanrong in the west were serious problems. Emperor Yi went on several expeditions without solving them, but he directly captured one of them.
Combined with Wei Ziqi's careless ridicule when he went on the expedition, King Shou felt that he was a fool and was being fooled.
Hence the rage.
If Wei Ziqi stood in front of him, he would kill him in the most brutal way without any hesitation, without any regard for brotherhood.
He is worthy of being King Zhou.
Regarding the character Zhou, there are many speculations such as posthumous title, first title followed by posthumous title, and lifetime title. Each has its own version. In fact, they are all speculations. They are not necessarily the posthumous title of the last emperor of the Shang Dynasty in order to discredit the Zhou Dynasty.
, it is also possible that Zhou was originally the title of Emperor Xin, but the meaning of the word was later distorted.
After all, the Zhou Dynasty is not the only one who committed the crime of King Zhou. There is a book called "The Sequence of the Seventy Evils of Zhou", which lists the crimes of King Zhou. In the Spring and Autumn Period, which was the closest to the Shang Dynasty, there were only six crimes. By the Warring States Period, the number increased to 20.
In the Western Han Dynasty, twenty-one items were added, and in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, thirteen items were added.
In other words, the evil deeds of King Zhou that have been passed down are accumulated and accumulated over the past dynasties, and all bad things were put on him.
Well, in later generations of the Internet, there were two great villains who received similar treatment. One was Sun Xiaochuan, and the other...
In the world of gods, King Zhou is an absolute tyrant. He cannot be cleansed. The setting is equivalent to the ultimate version that has been hacked by all dynasties. He is tyrannical, cruel, ignorant, lustful, and has no merit at all.
.
Even though he has not yet ascended the throne, due to the setbacks he has suffered, it is no longer like in the original plot that everything was smooth sailing before the Nuwa Temple. The tyranny and cruelty in his heart are immediately revealed.
He really wanted Wei Ziqi to die and thought about it all the time.
After venting his anger with the giant cauldron, King Shou wiped his sweat and looked at the shivering maids: "Who is coming to the house today?"
The maid reported: "It's still Fei Zhong and You Hun."
King Shou asked: "Grand Master Wen Zhong, Prime Minister Shang Rong, Senior Doctor Mei Bo, Senior Doctor Zhao Qi...aren't they all here?"
The maid trembled: "No."
Bang!
King Shou waved his hand and flew her away, falling into the pool. Blood filled the air, and she died before his eyes.
The other maids were even more frightened, but they didn't even dare to scream. The palace was deathly silent, except for the heavy breathing of King Shou.
Officials with high prestige and reputation often came to the mansion in the past. Although he hated the repeated teachings of these courtiers, he did not reject this kind of support.
As a result, as soon as the Jiuyi incident came out, the government and the public were shocked. These veterans were immediately preparing for the relevant heaven-sacrifice ceremony to show Emperor Yi's achievements to the heavens, and put everything else aside.
Including him.
"Damn it!"
King Shou waved his hand, stepped on the tripod next to him, kicked it out, and killed two passing chamberlains. Then he roared: "Bring Fei Zhong and You Hun in!"
Soon, Fei Zhongyouhun, one tall, one thin, one fat, one short, walked in cautiously and kowtowed: "Greetings to His Majesty King Longevity!"
Normally, with their official rank, they are not qualified to come to the King of Shou. Coming to the palace at this time is also a big gamble. It is because those upright old ministers take national affairs as their top priority and take advantage of the loophole.
A friend in need is a friend indeed, that's what King Shou thought anyway. Looking at the two of them, he immediately felt that everything was pleasing to his eye. He said, "Get up! You two are alone, do you have anything to say?"
Fei Zhong swallowed his saliva: "Let me tell you, Your Highness, we believe that there are a lot of things going on in the Jiuyi War. Although Your Highness has a deep brotherly relationship with His Highness, you still have to guard against it!"
You Hun continued: "Yes, I heard that the Jiuyi high priest has weird methods. He can cast curses and steal people's minds. What if His Highness is plotted by the enemy and lets down his guard and harms His Majesty?"
They didn't dare to show off, so they presented the key content first. Sure enough, King Shou was very interested when he heard it: "It's so comforting for you to have such worries, so what should you do to ensure that... Gu's brother will not
Have you been deceived by the enemy?"
Fei Zhong and You Hun were overjoyed, and they both offered something: "Your Highness, please take a look. If this method is completed, it will be safe!"
"Hahaha, okay, if this happens, I won't treat you badly!"
King Shou couldn't wait to take it, and when he took a closer look, he burst out laughing. The cruel look on his eyebrows could no longer be suppressed: "Weizi Qi, I want you to not be able to return to Chaoge City alive!"
