In Xiqi City,
Ji Chang's sudden return made Xiqi, who was originally in a state of unrest, settle down again.
At the same time, Lei Zhenzi's trip was in vain.
Ji Chang, who returned to Xiqi, immediately suppressed all the radical factions.
Ji Chang knew that now was not the time to rebel.
If they rebel now, Xiqi will surely perish.
Ji Fa, the representative of the radical faction, was extremely unwilling to see this scene, but he could only endure it.
Wang Ming saw everything and said nothing.
but,
What Ji Chang did was indeed right.
Now Ji Chang rebels immediately and will inevitably be eliminated.
Who told Jiang Ziya not to settle in Xiqi yet?
It is absolutely certain that Jiang Ziya will go down the mountain to become a god on behalf of heaven, but he does not necessarily have to stand here at Xibohou Jichang.
When emperors change in the human world, the immortals and gods do not care who becomes the king.
As long as we can make the war in the world more intense, involve more creatures in it, and die more lives to eliminate karma.
The last time Ji Chang took the initiative to go to Yin Shang Chaoge and accepted house arrest, he had no hope of victory at all.
It was not until he was under house arrest that he studied the Eight Diagrams of the Book of Changes painstakingly, and he finally saw hope.
The hope of replacing the Yin Shang.
After Ji Fa and the ministers left the palace, Ji Chang put down the bamboo slips in his hands, with a look of confusion and sadness on his strong and wise face.
"Is everything I'm doing right now?"
Ji Chang covered his chest with one hand, trying to suppress the heartache.
He thought of his son Boyikao.
Boyikao was ordered by Emperor Xin to chop it into meat paste, and then let Ji Chang and many ministers eat it.
cruel!
It's really cruel.
But the strange thing is that this is not a treasonous thing.
Because Emperor Xin did not kill Boyikao for no reason, but was caused by the system that Ji Chang and his group of nobles resolutely protected.
Emperor Xin granted Jichang the title of Xibohou, which was a very big thing.
It is necessary to offer sacrifices to gods and ancestral temples in order to have legal rationality.
The most pious sacrifice to the gods in this era is human sacrifice.
It is even more pious to use nobles to offer sacrifices.
After sacrificing to the gods, ministers who can get a share of the pie are their greatest honor.
Ji Chang was one of the people who insisted on the "Rites" the most. Di Xin played a cruel trick on him this time and directly used his son to sacrifice to the gods.
(Note: Don’t bring too much into some unofficial historical speculation found on the Internet. What I write is not history.)
He was caught in the tangle of whether it was right or wrong to overthrow Emperor Xin's rule.
It can be said that the Taoist heart has been shaken.
but,
Finally, Ji Chang's confused expression disappeared, and his eyes became firm again.
Regardless of whether Di Xin is right or wrong, Xiqi's only choice is rebellion.
Don't rebel, wait for him Xiqi.
In other words, the only thing waiting for his Ji family is the destruction of the whole family.
This is not a matter of right and wrong, but a dirty power play.
Ji Chang suppressed the sadness in his heart and picked up the bamboo slip at hand.
"This mysterious Mr. Guigu is really hard to figure out."
The bamboo slips record things related to Wang Ming.
After arriving in Xiqi, Wang Ming stayed in an independent courtyard arranged by Jichang.
Then,
From time to time, I cut down some trees from the mountain and started carpentry work in my yard.
Completely ignore anything outside.
Ji Fa was sent to see the teacher, but Wang Ming pulled him to do carpentry work. Ji Fa's face darkened on the spot.
But the aristocratic training allowed him to endure it, and then used a level 12 fake smile to fool him the whole time.
"What is he planning to do?" Ji Chang pressed his forehead and asked distressedly.
Ji Chang knew his second son's ambition.
If Xiqi didn't have Boyikao and Ji Chang, it would be a matter of time before Ji Fa rebelled.
It was precisely because he knew Ji Fa's ambition that Ji Chang returned to Xiqi in such a hurry.
Ji Fa's desire to rebel was completely within Ji Chang's expectation.
He used different education methods for his oldest sons.
The eldest son Boyikao was raised according to the standards of princes and ministers.
His second son, Ji Fa, was raised in the opposite way.
The eldest son, Boyikao, is on the table and everyone is watching. He must be raised as a loyal minister and an honest man.
"I hope you can quickly understand my painstaking efforts!" Ji Chang shook his head and sighed.
Ji Chang was not very confident in opposing business, so he hoped that Ji Fa could gain Wang Ming's loyalty, or at least his heart.
In this way, when the rebellion fails, the Ji family can still have a way out.
·········
A very simple courtyard.
In the courtyard,
Wang Ming was lying on a wooden deck chair, looking at the sky in a very relaxed mood.
With that kind of feeling of being unfazed by favors and humiliations, and letting the clouds roll and relax in the sky.
Xiqi City can avoid most crises, but some disasters still happen.
For example, that time with the God of Plague.
but,
Wang Ming can confirm that Ji Fa and Ji Chang are relatively the safest places.
Nezha's Xuanyuan arrow could not hit Ji Fa.
The Daluo Jinxian of Chanjiao will not completely let go of his hands and feet to wreak havoc where Ji Fa is.
The first few Daluo Jinxian who came out from Jiejiao were relatively honest and would not sneak attack on mortals. Those who came out later were all in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.
Stand next to Ji Fa and Ji Chang. When you feel a crisis coming, just retreat behind everyone and prepare to sacrifice your teammates.
As long as they don't stand out, Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya will naturally be able to stop all crises.
One is the real dragon emperor, and the other is the protagonist of the era.
The two of them will be resurrected after death. They can fight back even if their souls are gone. Even if they are burned to ashes, they can still fake their corpses.
The people who play this set the best are Taoist Ran Deng and Taoist Lu Ya.
Credits, magic weapons, and kills are all over the place, but when you're at a loss, you don't show mercy at all when you betray your teammates.
Taoist Ran Deng broke into the formation and offered sacrifices to three generations of disciples of Chan Cult without blinking an eye.
Taoist Lu Ya's "Seven Arrows Book of Nail Heads" really messed up Jiang Ziya's luck.
Wang Ming stood up suddenly.
The golden substance filled the black pupils, and he stared at the courtyard wall in front of him without blinking.
In his sight, there was an additional person on the bank of a river in Xiqi.
He was an old man with white hair and beard, who looked very old, but was energetic.
The old man held a fishing rod in his hand and sat on the bank of the river, quietly fishing.
Wang Ming could see that the fishing rod in the river was straight.
"It's coming so fast. It seems that the curtain of the era is about to begin." Wang Ming murmured to himself.
The identity of the old man can be easily guessed.
It’s not necessarily Jiang Ziya who is fishing straight.
But the old man who had a terrifying amount of luck on his head and a terrible cultivation level was definitely Jiang Ziya.
"I hope we can live in peace!"
