A country cannot be without its owner for a day.
After all, Emperor Yi's reign did not reach the twenty-seventh year.
After the beginning of spring, the son succeeded to the throne, the new king ascended the throne, was crowned emperor, and was named Emperor Xin.
The prosperous Chaoge is not crowded. After all, it is a new capital city that was moved to the capital during Emperor Yi's reign. The buildings are more practical and less embellishment.
In recent years, the great merchants... have lost a lot of young and middle-aged people. Therefore, although there are many people in the market, there are very few smiling people in Guizhou, which cannot be compared with Chang'an and Luoyang in later generations.
But even so, Dashang's Chaoge City is still the center of the "world" where people from all over the world flock to. All merchants who travel through Donglu, Southern Xinjiang, and Western Zhou Dynasty must come to Chaoge City for a visit.
The death of Emperor Yi was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the people of Chaoge. Over the years, there have been constant natural disasters and man-made disasters. If King Shang and Prime Minister Bigan had not worked hard to govern, and even personally led the palace guards to inspect Nongsang, this day would have been It’s long since gone.
The common people are limited by their access to education and are indeed less knowledgeable than the nobles, but this does not mean that they are stupid.
They are the ones most affected by natural disasters and man-made disasters. Everyone is worried about the future. The emperor's actions and political strategies seem to be just instructions, but they are the ones who actually implement them and have personal experience. Therefore, the people are extremely concerned about the former king Di Yi. Dear.
It’s funny to say that after the death of His Majesty Emperor Yi, a lot of rumors spread in the market to smear the new king Di Xin. Many people were very disdainful. They really treated us like fools with their despicable methods. What is the new king of Shang like? People, don’t they have any idea?
Wen Neng assisted Bi Gan in the field affairs, and Wu Neng pursued the ghost for three thousand miles. How could such a wise and powerful king be unkind?
Only those who underestimate the wisdom of the people would use such clumsy slanderous tactics. If you look at the ignorance of all living beings in the royal court, they will also laugh at your ignorance in the marketplace.
I don’t know when it started, but another wave of rumors was also fermenting crazily in the city as they slandered the new king. The person who slandered the new king was none other than Wei Ziqi. Although he was the eldest son, he was a concubine. It was best to talk to him on weekdays. , claimed to be an elegant man, but he made no achievements in civil and martial arts.
There is no literary prison in the big merchants, and people are not prohibited from talking freely. At this time, in the restaurants, all kinds of knights, merchants, and peddlers are talking loudly, but the truth is confusing and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
"Have you heard that the Marquis of E from southern Xinjiang is here, bringing five thousand people and sacrifices with him?"
"It's strange, it's not the Autumn Festival yet, why did Marquis E bring people and animals here in advance?"
"Don't you understand this? The Marquis of E has no merits or demerits in subduing the Jiuli clan. The purpose of bringing five thousand to the Spring Festival is to pay tribute to the king's enthronement as a token of apology. He will bring another five thousand to the Autumn Festival."
"Ah? The Marquis of E is so proud. These are five thousand sacrifices. How much will they cost?"
The merchants in Donglu green-sleeved clothes sitting at the next table remained silent, chewing the mutton cooked by the store slowly, sipping the light rice wine, and listening to various "sages" in the restaurant asking about politics, until someone came It was only when they started making noise about the affairs in Northern Xinjiang that they attracted their attention.
"The day before yesterday, Chonghou also entered the city. Hahaha, let me tell you, it's funny. Chonghou actually entered the city wearing a tattered armor. There are not many good-looking veterans behind him."
"That's it, that's it, who are you pretending to show it to? Do you really think that we Chaoge people are fools?"
"We support him every year. We give him food and grass and help him conquer Beihai. How can he, the lord of Northern Territory, not be able to conquer a small Beihai?"
A young man at the Donglu wine table stared angrily, but seeing that the old man at the table was calmly drinking tea, he did not dare to get angry. He just cursed Chaoge people in his heart, without Beijiang, how could you sit here and eat meat? drink wine?
"Friend, please be patient. There is a young hero under Chonghou. I heard that he has three heads and six arms and is the best warrior in Chongcheng who can fight thousands of armies alone. Be careful if Chonghou hears this and let the first warrior cut out your tongue. Haha. Ha ha."
"Hahaha, three heads and six arms, isn't that a monster? Last time, people in the Chao Mansion spread the news. I heard that the great warrior under Chonghou was beaten so badly that he threw himself into Beihai from the letter sent home by the general from the other side of Beihai. .”
There was a crisp ping-pong sound, but the Donglu boy was so angry that he took the pottery cup in his hand and smashed it against the gibbering knight, his face blossoming.
"My second brother is definitely not a deserter and a general. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will skin you." This young man from Donglu is heroic and handsome. Upon closer inspection, he looks a bit like Meng Chang. The similarity is that he is dressed in green clothes and looks like a handsome scholar under his hair.
Several rangers were furious and were about to take action, but one of them discovered the identity of the old man in front of the young man. He was shocked and immediately pulled his companions and walked out of the restaurant.
"Come on, I'm my mother. I've told you that you don't have any control over your words, so you still dare to take action? How dare you seek the bad luck of Doctor You Cang and risk your life?"
Everyone suddenly woke up and dispersed in fear.
"Hun, do you remember your identity?"
"Father, I remember."
"When you marry my Lian'er, you are considered as a wife of my You family. If you dare to forget your last name again in the future, you should go back to your northern Xinjiang."
Meng Hun, no, You Hun was shocked and hurriedly stood up and knelt on the ground: "Father, why is this happening? Hun will never dare to do it again."
While the two were having a deep love for each other in the restaurant, passers-by on the street rushed to tell each other, shouting loudly: "Xibo Hou Jichang has entered the city, Xibo Hou Jichang has entered the city."
The people who were in a hurry did not react much, but the scholars and alchemists in Chaoge City exploded and ran towards the west gate one after another.
At the west gate, Xibo Hou Jichang leaned forward and looked at the many scholars who were warmly welcoming him. He smiled on his face and said nothing. He just nodded slightly and signaled to everyone.
It looks like the scene where future famous stars hold fan meetings. Just a few high-pitched screams.
It's just that Xibohou is no longer as handsome as he was when he was young. He is in his sixties, with long gray hair and beard, and cannot attract those girls who are in their prime. And the "girls in their sixties" have long passed the age of chasing stars.
"Father, you are in the Western Frontier, and your reputation is still known far and wide."
"Fa, don't talk nonsense. How can I have a virtuous reputation? The virtuous one is the former king Di Yi and the current great king Di Xin."
"When you enter Chaoge, you should be careful in your words and deeds, and don't talk nonsense anymore."
The young man listened to his father's teachings with some disdain, but he listened patiently. He did not have the guts to talk back to his father.
Zhou Hou Jichang, who in the world does not know, who does not know? In terms of culture, the military and official systems of the Western Zhou Dynasty were reformed, which made the current Western Zhou Dynasty united as one, and promoted a large number of new species. The already prosperous Western Zhou Dynasty had a bumper harvest every year in recent years, with rice piled up in the granaries and old grain stored in it. When it turns yellow.
There are some mixed reviews for his martial arts. The main reason is that the Zhou Hou did not use troops against the Quan Rong and did not destroy Yiqu. He seemed to have made no achievements.
In fact, in the past ten years, he has annexed small countries from all over the world, fought incessantly, and been invincible. Four years ago, he defeated the current Beibei Hou Chonghou Hu at Jiameng Pass. From then on, no one dared to say that he was It’s a persimmon, you can handle it as you like.
Fei Zhong accompanied him and kept telling Zhou Hou about the development of Chaoge. Thirty years ago, this was an insignificant small town in the Yin and Shang Dynasties. Thirty years later, Chaoge, who was the royal court, was no longer the hungry citizen he was before. Mocheng is full of people dying of hunger.
"Marquis Zhou, tomorrow is the king's prelude to the show. Look at this dog-rong incident..."
"Oh, Mr. Fei, it's not because of Ji Chang's unwillingness, but this is what the hexagram shows. Sixty-three: Fu Yi, chastity and evil; don't use it for ten years, it will be useless."
"My Lord Zhou, don't worry about these hexagrams. If you don't agree to send troops, your heads and mine will be hung on the west city gate tomorrow."
Ji Chang is displeased. If you hang your head on the city wall, I will hang my head. You have to ask the king to ask me whether the Western Zhou warriors will agree.
"Master Fei, don't use it for ten years, don't use it for ten years. If you don't respect God's will, I, Xiqi, will be defeated. Since I am already defeated, can I ask the king to hang your head in Xiqi City in advance? Where is it outside the east gate? Maybe I can use your sacrificial flag to protect our Xiqi people from casualties."
Who is Fei Zhong? He has great ambitions and a very prominent family background. However, with such a high-profile family background, he has never been able to hold an important position. He has been sitting in a small history museum day and night compiling business history for a long time. He is the king of Bigan. Haikou boasted in front of his uncle that if he failed to handle Ji Chang in the meeting tomorrow, his kind cousin would definitely let him learn from his senior Du Zhu.
Fei Zhong could be said to have grown up with Di Xin. Everyone only saw the upright, selfless, heroic and heroic side of Zi Shou. Only those relatives who grew up together knew the truly ruthless side.
Well, this is also the reason why Fei Zhong doesn't dislike Wei Ziqi. Wei Ziqi is not stupid. He knew that he had no chance and still insisted on acting like this and showing himself to be so stupid. This is all for a reason. It's nothing more than asking Shang Rong to find the right opportunity to throw dirty water on himself and seek protection.
Just look, this king is not that simple.
According to his understanding of the king, as long as he touches the right bone, it is not difficult to get along with him, but if he touches the wrong vein, he will be doomed.
Fei Zhong didn't want to wait. He wanted to take a gamble. If he won, he would get a promotion and a salary increase. If he lost, the worst he could do would be for his mother to cry in front of the king.
At least he didn't want to waste any more time in the history museum. Fei Zhong also wanted revenge in his heart.
"Marquis Zhou, I am extremely loyal. If you think my head can help you win, feel free to take it."
After saying that, Fei Zhong pulled out the bronze sword with difficulty and stared at Ji Chang who looked confused for a few seconds. Seeing that Ji Chang had no reaction, Fei Zhong simply closed his eyes and moved the sword to his neck.
With a "pop!", it was Ji Chang who threw out his jade pendant and hit Fei Zhong in the face.
The two looked at each other, feeling awkward for a while. Fortunately, Fei Zhong also followed the steps and threw the bronze sword in front of the horse. He looked at Ji Chang with surprise on his face.
"The lord of Zhou is benevolent, the lord of Zhou is benevolent, everyone, the lord of Zhou has just agreed to send out troops. The lord of Zhou has agreed. Hahaha, he has agreed."
Looking at Fei Zhong who was yelling, Ji Chang looked helpless. Is it that people in the world have become bad, or that bad people have grown up? You Fei Zhong, are you really not afraid that I am the bad-tempered Marquis Chonghu? Although it would be troublesome for you to die, do you really think you can threaten me?
Looking at the stunned second son standing aside, Ji Chang was so angry that he took out his sword and hit his second son on the head with the scabbard.
"What are you still doing in a daze? Go help Mr. Fei."
"oh oh!"
I'm really angry. I usually kidnap others due to my morality. God's way is so good, but after all, I was tricked by others once.
Not a big problem.
I knew before I came that I couldn't escape. Seeing how clever Mr. Fei was, it was not impossible to give him this credit. In the future, Chaoge City would have many friends and many paths.
Di Xin is not Di Yi. He has long seen that this boy has the same temperament as his grandfather. Back then, Wen Ding dared to imprison and kill his father in anger. Ji Chang made a fortune and predicted that he would be just like his father. It looked like a secluded prisoner, so he had already made preparations for sending troops before coming.
If he can go back, the Battle of Quanrong will not be postponed this time. If he can't go back, Nangong Shi knows what to do.
In a restaurant not far away.
Seeing the little moves between Zhou Hou and Fei Zhong, You Cang knocked over the wine bowl in displeasure and scolded the waiter in the shop.
"The wine has gone rancid, which is really disappointing. A nice bowl of mutton soup is tasteless. A despicable person, a despicable wine shop, looking at you vulgar and vulgar people is disappointing!"
You Hun lowered his head and said nothing, and suddenly remembered a story told by his second brother. He said that in ancient times, there was a tribe. Their wise and powerful leader passed away, so the tyrannical and unruly second son succeeded to the throne, but because he was not smart enough, he was killed. Playing with his own witchcraft, he took advantage of an opportunity to point to a deer and say it was a horse, and distinguish which ones were his own people and which ones were loyal to the clan leader, and then killed all the people who said it was a deer, and the People's Committee who said it was a horse. With heavy responsibility.
It turns out that this is politics. It seems that the second brother has said it a lot. Looking at the performance of the two important ministers on the street, it doesn't seem to be difficult.
There seemed to be light in You Hun's eyes, staring closely at Fei Zhong and Zhou Hou.
Second brother, you are really smart.
