Xiqi City.
Xibohou Mansion.
In the main hall.
"Confess Jiang Ziya the Prime Minister of Youlingtai." Ji Chang gave Jiang Ziya a high official and a generous salary.
"Thank you, Lord." Jiang Ziya thanked him.
Then, a banquet was held in the side hall, where officials congratulated each other, drank, sang and danced to celebrate.
Later, the Prime Minister's Mansion was built and a marriage was found for Jiang Ziya.
After Jiang Ziya became prime minister, he married a young and beautiful wife named Shen Jiang, who had just grown up.
Of course, the ages of adulthood in ancient times and modern adulthood are somewhat different.
Jiang Ziya has enjoyed wealth and honor in the world since then.
Rumor has it that Jiang Ziya will have fifteen sons and one daughter in the future. I don’t know whether it is true or not, or how many wives it was born to. If he was born to a wife, then Jiang Ziya is really old and strong, a hundred years old, and even more powerful than a young man.
The matter of Xiqi Jiang Ziya will not be discussed here for the time being.
Let’s talk about the closest pass to Xiqi, Sishui Pass.
Han Rong, the guard at Sishui Pass, immediately discovered the affairs of Ji Chang and Jiang Ziya.
Knowing that Ji Chang named Jiang Ziya the Prime Minister of Youlingtai.
After getting the news, Han Rong hurriedly played the imperial song.
Han Rong is a competent border guard.
Han Rong had a lieutenant named Yu Hua.
Yu Hua is a disciple of Yu Yuan, the Yiqi Immortal of Penglai Island. And this Yu Yuan is a disciple of the Golden Spirit Holy Mother.
In addition, Han Rong had two sons, Han Sheng and Han Bian.
Han Sheng and Han Bian have the magic weapon "Ten Thousand Blades Chariot", and their master is Jie Jiao Toutuo Dharma Ring.
The Ten Thousand Blade Chariot is also a treasure given to Han Sheng and Han Bian by the Dharma Ring.
The Ten Thousand Blade Chariot is a magic weapon for group attack. When activated, hundreds of thousands of sharp blades will be shot out, which is extremely powerful. In the Battle of the Gods, countless Western Zhou soldiers were killed.
Such a Sishui Pass involves two Jie Jiao disciples, Yu Yuan and Fa Jie.
It can be seen from this that in the Shang Dynasty, in addition to Wenzhong, Jiejiao also had disciples who were either officials in the Shang Dynasty or the sons of generals in the Shang Dynasty.
Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that more disciples of the Jie Jiao disciples will be involved in the Conferred God War.
Yu Yuan and Fa Jie also participated in the Battle of the Gods.
Their ending in "The Romance of the Gods":
Yu Yuan died, his soul entered the list of gods, and he was finally canonized.
Fa Jie is an unknown person on the list of gods. When he was beheaded, the Western Cult Master Zhunti came forward to rescue Fa Jie and brought him back to the Western Cult. Later, the Dharma and Precepts were cultivated to achieve positive results.
Those who intercepted the religion were either killed or transferred to the Western Church. In the end, they were all reduced to pieces and almost the entire army was wiped out.
Let’s talk about Han Rong’s memorial.
Not one day.
The memorial comes to Chaoge.
At this time, although Chaoge did not have capable ministers and officials such as Shang Rong and Bigan.
However, there are still serious and responsible officials who handle urgent memorials sent from the border.
The memorial quickly reached King Zhou.
King Zhou regarded Ji Chang as a serious problem.
He had not been in court for a long time, so he immediately summoned his ministers to discuss the affairs of Xiqi Jichang.
Everyone was talking about it.
"Ji Chang appointed Jiang Shang as his prime minister, and his ambition was not small."
"Both Dongbohou and Nanbohou rebelled. If Xibohou rebels again, the world will be in chaos."
"It's a pity that I heard that the Grand Master's expedition to the north was undecided. Otherwise, we could have conquered Xiqi immediately."
Wucheng King Huang Feihu did not ask for a fight, but just listened quietly to the discussions of others.
Logically speaking, in this case, there should be military generals calling for battle to put an end to rebellions in various places.
However, whether it was the rebellion of Dongbohou and Nanbohou, or Xibohou's escape from Chaoge with evil intentions, it was all caused by King Zhou's insistence on going his own way.
If King Zhou releases Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu and Nanbohou E Chongyu, and treats Queen Jiang kindly, the rebellion between Dongbohou and Nanbohou will be resolved immediately.
Only Xibohou can't become a climate.
But King Zhou was dissolute and immoral. He only listened to the words of the three demons, Fei Zhong, and You Hun. He dismissed many of his old ministers and did many ridiculous things. Although the three demons have recently become two demons, they are not much different from before, and they are still causing harm to the Tang Dynasty.
In this situation, Wucheng King Huang Feihu never said much, but kept silent to protect himself. He did not want to be removed from office.
King Zhou discussed with his courtiers for a while and decided to let Beibohou Chonghou Hu march to the west.
This decision was proposed by Fei Zhong and You Hun, which is simply ridiculous.
Xibohou had not yet rebelled, so he went directly to the west.
Dongbohou and Nanbohou have been rebelling for many years, but they only let the border guards guard them and did not put down the rebellion.
Maybe King Zhou also knew that there were special reasons for the rebellion between Dongbohou and Nanbohou. At the critical moment, Jiang Huanchu and E Chongyu could be released to resolve it.
And Xibo Hou Jichang has a reputation as a virtuous man. If he rebels, he will be in big trouble.
"Pass a message to Bei Bohou..." King Zhou issued an order for Bei Bohou to march westward.
A few days later.
Chonghou Hu, the Marquis of Beibo, received the order to prepare for the western expedition.
In "The Romance of the Gods", at this time, Chonghou Hu was Chaoge's supervisor in building Lutai.
Now, due to Xiao Sheng, the three demons did not dare to propose the construction of Lutai, and Chonghou Hu did not come to Chaoge.
Of course, without the Lutai, there would be no group of monsters drinking and having fun in the Lutai, and the thousand-year-old vixen's sister and children would not be in danger of death.
These blessings and misfortunes always come together. If you have a thought, the corresponding disaster may also occur. And when the idea is gone, the corresponding disaster may also be gone.
In "The Romance of the Gods", Chonghou Hu caused widespread resentment because of building a deer platform, and his reputation was extremely bad. After Jiang Ziya paid homage to the prime minister, he proposed to Ji Chang to attack Chonghou Hu. Ji Chang agreed and sent troops to attack with Jiang Ziya.
Now, although some things have changed because of Xiao Sheng, the battle between Chong Heihu and Ji Chang is still going to happen.
However, instead of Ji Chang attacking Chonghou Tiger, it was the other way around, with Chonghou Tiger attacking Ji Chang.
Let us say that King Zhou of Chaoge just issued an order to attack Xiqi.
Within a few days, the news reached Ji Chang. Chaoge also has Ji Chang's subordinates who have been inquiring about the situation.
Ji Chang hurriedly summoned the generals.
"King Shou ordered that Beibohou Chonghou Hu will come to attack Xiqi soon." Ji Chang first explained the situation and asked how to deal with it.
"Don't worry, lord. This Chonghou Tiger is cruel and unkind. We just take this opportunity to get rid of it and do harm to the people." Jiang Ziya said. He had just become the Prime Minister of Youlingtai, so he took this opportunity to gain credit. In this way, others will not be envious of him.
"Chonghou Hu doesn't have much ability, so there's nothing to be afraid of. It's just that Chonghou Hu's younger brother, Chong Heihu, has some strange skills. When he conquered Su Hu in the past, Chongheihu captured Su Quanzhong with a sacred eagle." Ji Chang was a little worried.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing to be afraid of the divine eagle. I have my own way to deal with him. Also, I have always heard that the black tiger is benevolent and righteous. If he comes here to worship the black tiger, it is better to surrender him."
"That's good. If we can recruit and surrender Chong Heihu, we can also calm the hearts of the people in the north."
...
Many days passed in the blink of an eye.
Chonghouhu led Chongheihu through Sishui Pass and arrived at Xiqi City.
The war is about to break out.
Chonghou Hu sent his general Huang Yuanji out to invite a fight.
This side of Xiqi.
Ji Chang sent Nangong Shi out of the city to fight. Nangong Shi was the general of Xiqi and someone Ji Chang relied on.
Nangong Shi immediately led his troops and horses out of the city to meet the enemy.
"Huang Yuanji, come here and die!"
"Nangong Shi, I will kill you today!"
The two cursed each other and fought together.
Nangong Shi is a famous general in Xiqi with excellent martial arts skills.
The two fought for thirty rounds, but Huang Yuanji was already defeated and wanted to escape.
But under Nangong Shi's sword, Huang Yuanji wanted to escape but couldn't.
Nangong Shi also saw that Huang Yuanji had the intention to escape. He waved his knife like a curtain, forming a circle so that Huang Yuanji could not escape.
Originally, Huang Yuanji might have a chance of survival if he continued to fight, but he was timid and wanted to run away, but there was a flaw.
As a result, Huang Yuanji was beheaded by Nangong Shi within a few seconds and his head was taken away.
Huang Yuanji was also a famous person on the list, and he was later canonized as a god.
Xiqi won one game first and his morale was boosted.
After watching the battle between Huang Yuanji and Nangong Shi, Chong Houhu knew that he was defeated.
"Brother Xian, it seems we need you to take action." Chong Houhu wanted Chong Heihu to take action.
Chong Heihu remained silent.
Previously, Chong Heihu had not agreed to raise troops to attack Xiqi.
He told Chonghou Hu that King Shou was unruly, so don't listen to King Mingshou, and don't continue to help Hu.
However, Chonghou Hu refused to listen and insisted on coming.
Seeing that Chong Heihu didn't respond, Chong Houhu also knew that Chong Heihu was unwilling to fight, "Xian brother, don't you miss the love of brotherhood?"
Chong Houhu persuaded Chong Heihu with brotherhood, but Chong Heihu could only agree to fight.
Over there in Xiqi.
See Chong Heihu coming out to invite a fight.
Jiang Ziya knew it was his turn to take action.
At this time, no one else in Xiqi knew magic and could not stop Chong Heihu.
Chong Heihu not only has the divine eagle, but also has some Taoist skills that allow him to spread beans and create soldiers.
He fought with Jiang Ziya in Taoist skills, but Jiang Ziya destroyed them one by one.
Then, release the condor.
But he was also driven away by Jiang Ziya.
In the end, Chong Heihu's Taoist and foreign skills were defeated, and he was captured alive by Jiang Ziya.
This process was witnessed by Xiao Sheng and Empress Shi Ji in the distance.
Beibohou Chonghouhu led troops to Xiqi, so Xiao Sheng naturally knew about it.
He came to watch the fight.
At this time, Jiang Ziya had made great progress in cultivation, and it was easy to deal with Chong Heihu.
"Xiao Sheng, those two people are not very good at cultivation, and they don't have powerful magic weapons." Empress Shiji looked a little bored.
"Yeah, there's really nothing to see. Uncle Master, let's go back to Jinji Ridge."
Xiao Sheng and Empress Shiji turned into wind and left. The real battle to become gods has not yet begun, and the truly capable people have not shown up yet.
Let's talk about Chong Heihu being captured.
"King Shou is unruly, Black Tiger, I have always known your benevolence and righteousness..." Ji Chang persuaded Chong Black Tiger to surrender.
"I am willing to surrender." Chong Heihu was dissatisfied with King Zhou and had a good impression of Ji Chang, so he surrendered quickly.
Not only was Chong Heihu willing to surrender, but he was also willing to persuade Chonghou Hu to surrender.
Chonghou Tiger Camp.
Chong Heihu was captured, and when Chong Houhu was worried, Chong Heihu came back.
"Brother Xian, why are you back?"
"Brother, I have surrendered Xiqi. Why don't you surrender too..."
Chong Heihu persuaded for a while.
Chong Houhu had an idea in his heart. He planned to feign surrender and then wait for an opportunity to assassinate Ji Chang.
…
Xibohou Mansion.
"This is my letter of surrender." Surrender requires a letter of surrender. Chonghou Hu personally handed over the letter of surrender.
"How lucky Bei Bohou is to abandon evil and do good!" Ji Chang happily accepted the letter of surrender. Then, they inevitably celebrated.
"Come on, cheers!"
…
That night.
Ji Chang is still reading.
Suddenly a masked assassin appears.
A sword stabbed Ji Chang.
Ji Chang dodged repeatedly and shouted loudly.
Fortunately Jifa arrived in time and chopped off the assassin's head with a sword, only to find out that the assassin was Chonghou Hu.
Ji Chang knew about innate calculations, but he didn't know that someone was coming to assassinate him. This may be Ji Chang's fate.
Chonghou Hu was killed, and Chongheihu became Beibohou. He returned to Beibohou's territory with his troops and horses to appease the local people.
Regarding this matter, Han Rong immediately wrote a memorial and played the imperial song.
Chaoge.
When King Zhou heard the report, he was furious.
He also wanted to send troops to attack Xiqi.
But he was persuaded by his ministers.
He said that he would wait until Wen Zhong came back to worry about it.
King Zhou temporarily put aside his Western expedition and went to find the two demons for fun.
Let’s talk about Ji Chang.
Although Chonghou Hu failed in his assassination, he surprised Ji Chang.
Since then, Ji Chang has been uneasy and uneasy.
When he went to bed at night, he always felt that Chonghou Hu was standing in front of him, trying to assassinate him.
Xibohou Mansion.
"Prime Minister Jiang, have you invited the doctor from the Herbal Medicine Pavilion?" Ji Fa asked. At this time, because of Xiao Sheng, the doctor at Baicao Pavilion was recognized as the best.
"Fortunately, the doctor from the Herbal Medicine Pavilion is waiting outside." Jiang Ziya went to the Herbal Medicine Pavilion to invite the doctor.
"Please."
"This is Doctor Wu, this is Young Master Ji Fa..." Jiang Ziya briefly introduced.
Doctor Wu stepped forward to see Ji Chang.
"It's just a fright. It's nothing serious." Doctor Wu quickly finished the diagnosis.
But he avoided Ji Changhou.
Then he quietly said to Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya: "Your life is approaching, please make preparations early."
What Doctor Wu means is that Ji Chang is about to die, so please prepare for the funeral.
After he finished speaking, he explained a few words briefly and left in a hurry.
Doctor Wu anxiously passed the news to Qian Sihai that Ji Chang was about to die.
Because Qian Sihai has been collecting information.
All the news about Qian Sihai was passed to Xiao Sheng.
Jiang Ziya and Ji Fa found several more doctors.
But the conclusions are much the same.
A few days later.
Ji Chang's condition worsened.
He felt that his time was running out.
Then he called Jiang Ziya, Ji Fa, San Yisheng and others to explain the funeral arrangements.
Ji Chang said: After I die, even if King Shou is full of evil, he will not be able to attack the king with his ministers.
At this time, Ji Chang was opposed to attacking Chaoge. His approach is similar to that of Cao Cao later. During his lifetime, Cao Cao never thought about becoming emperor. Their thinking may be due to their deep-rooted "loyalty".
In fact, if Ji Chang had not died, Xiqi would not have launched an army to attack Shang.
Therefore, Ji Chang's death is destined.
Ji Chang opposed the attack on merchants, which was against God's will.
This may be one of the reasons for Ji Chang's death.
Ji Chang said to Ji Fa: My son, you worship Ziya as your sub-father, and you must listen to Ziya's words. Prime Minister Jiang’s words are my words.
Ji Fa immediately worshiped Jiang Ziya as his second father.
Jiang Ziya cried and said: "I have received great kindness from the king, but even though my liver, brain, and bones were shattered and I sacrificed my life, it's not enough!"
Jiang Ziya was moved by Ji Chang's actions. His behavior is similar to Liu Bei's entrustment to Zhuge Liang.
"Although Shang is unruly, I am a minister and must abide by my duties. My mother must overstep her bounds and ridicule future generations...I can no longer play gossip." Ji Chang said a few words at the end and left.
Ji Chang was ninety-seven years old.
After burying Ji Chang.
Jiang Ziya, San Yisheng, Nangong Shi and others appointed Ji Fa as Xibohou.
Ji Fa called Jiang Ziya his second father, and the remaining officials were each given one rank to continue Ji Chang's benevolent government and recuperate.
Let’s talk about Han Rong at Sishui Pass.
He also heard about Ji Chang's death.
He hurriedly played the imperial song.
Not one day.
King Zhou learned the news.
"Haha..." He laughed wildly for a while, and then shouted: "That old man Ji Chang is dead, and the world is free from worries!"
In King Zhou's heart, the one he feared the most was Ji Chang.
But he didn't know that Ji Chang would never die and the soup would never be extinguished.
After Ji Chang died, the Western Zhou Dynasty would launch an army to attack Shang.
