Chaoge and night strings are played for fifty miles, and eight hundred princes are heading towards Lingshan.
This is the prosperous and grand scene of the great Shang Dynasty imagined by poets in Yuding's previous life.
And here... is the prehistoric Chaoge!
The magnificent city wall is located on the ground, majestic and majestic, like a crawling ancient beast. The city wall is as broad as a mountain, and the years have also left mottled traces on it.
But the city remains strong and never falls, becoming a symbol of the human race.
The Yin Shang Dynasty was the orthodox human race after the Xia Dynasty!
As the capital of the Shang Dynasty, Chaoge was undoubtedly the largest city in the human race.
none of them.
Because this huge city carries too many people, even if the Yin Shang Dynasty opened nine holes under each of the four huge city walls, the entrances would still be blocked from time to time by the nobles and commoners who came in and out every day.
The prosperity of this city can no longer be described in ordinary terms, and the human races scattered throughout the wilderness all regard this place as a dream and are full of longing for it...
Within the royal city, the morning court had not yet retreated.
The king of Shang sat high above, and the civil and military officials on both sides of the bottom were discussing some government affairs.
"Report!"
Suddenly, the messenger came in a hurry, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand, and said happily: "Your Majesty, I heard that the grand master has sent good news, and he will return to the court in the near future."
While talking, the bamboo slips were sent to the young King Shang.
As soon as these words came out of the hall, most of the civil and military officials on both sides had similar expressions, and they all showed joy.
Above, Di Xin took the letter, opened it, and said with a smile, "Okay, Grand Master has indeed not disappointed me. Come on, let me pass on the good news to all my dear friends."
When the driving officer took the brief letter, he sent it to the civil and military officials under the white jade steps.
When everyone looked at it, they saw that it was written that Yuan Futong and the seventy-two princes of Beihai colluded with demons to cause trouble for one side. During the battle, two gods came down to earth to help him and quickly quelled the rebellion.
The so-called two gods descended to earth is naturally Wen Zhong's explanation.
He originally did not want to bring along the two disciples of the Jade Cauldron Immortal, but now that the great merchants were in trouble internally and externally, he needed to use this to build momentum for Emperor Xin and stabilize the court inside and outside.
Emperor Xin also understood the meaning instantly and showed the good news to the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.
Sure enough, after reading it, all the ministers congratulated each other, saying that the king is destined by fate and has the blessing of God...
In this way, the morning ended in an exciting atmosphere.
In the apse.
"Grand Master, this expedition went smoothly."
Di Xin looked at the good news, and then the maid came in and said, "Your Majesty, the two princes have come to pay their respects."
"Ask them to come in!" Di Xin nodded.
…
The setting sun sets in the distance, casting its golden-red afterglow on the people lining up in front of the city gate.
In the team, an old man in robes followed the flow of people and approached Chaoge. He slowly raised his head and looked at this majestic city.
"Chaoge..."
The old man's eyes were a little complicated, he whispered, and then followed the flow of people forward with his hands behind his back.
On both sides of a cave entrance are two teams of Yin and Shang sergeants, who are responsible for guarding the cave. Some in the province are making trouble, while others are responsible for inspection and registration.
"Come from Chentangguan?"
The sergeant looked at the road guide in his hand and the unattractive old man in front of him with some surprise.
The old man grinned at him: "Exactly!"
"What are you doing here at Chaoge?"
"Busting for a living!"
"Busting?"
The sergeant in charge of the inspection looked at the old man in surprise: "What kind of art do you know?"
The old man stroked his beard and grinned: "To be honest, I have studied art in Kunlun Mountain for many years, and I know everything about astronomy..."
The sergeant glanced at him: "To put it more seriously, look at the formation of the troops behind."
The old man smiled coquettishly: "I know how to read fortune tellers, draw talismans, catch ghosts, and tell fortunes. I am especially talented in the art of fortune telling. I want to know how to tell fortunes."
Why don't I give it to you to tell your fortune? ! "
"It turns out he is a magic stick!"
The sergeant threw the guide to the old man and waved his hand impatiently: "Hurry in, don't delay."
"I……"
The old man had no choice but to walk through the long and dark doorway in frustration. When he turned back, the city gate behind him was like a small glowing hole. He shook his head and sighed: "Life is not easy."
Soon after, the old man appeared on the streets of Chaoge.
The rebellion in Beihai did not attract people's attention, and Chaoge still enjoyed a peaceful and prosperous era.
The moon has risen, but the excitement in the city has not diminished but increased.
The nobles of Ozeki went out in carriages, preparing to start a beautiful nightlife.
And the common people who had been busy working for broken silver for a day were returning home with tired steps.
As for the slaves...
Their status is low and they are no longer human beings. Labor and slavery have long numbed their nerves.
There is not much difference between day and night to them.
So, are you ready... The old man's gaze traveled through the streets until he reached the royal city in the center of the male city.
It's midnight!
In the royal palace, in the Yongde Hall, a figure wearing a gold-painted black bird king's robe and a crown was sitting behind the desk, resting his head on his hands as he fell asleep.
Suddenly, a breeze blew and he suddenly woke up. He saw a Taoist with immortal style stepping through the door and entering the main hall.
Emperor Xin glanced around and saw that the palace was brightly lit with fire, but the guards and attendants had long since disappeared. However, this time he was brave and brave, so he did not panic. He said calmly: "I don't know what I can teach you when I come to Guwang Palace." ?」
The Taoist looked at Di Xin and smiled and nodded, then he held his sword in his hand and pointed at it: "I have a sword, please try it, your Majesty!"
Before Emperor Xin could answer, he saw the Taoist pointing out his sword. Immediately, the blazing sword light with the aura of destruction covered everything in the world.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!
Di Xin woke up with a start and exerted force. The table in front of him had already been torn into pieces, and he was covered in cold sweat.
Only then did he realize that the sergeants guarding the main hall and the attendants were also in the hall. Everything just now was just a dream.
"Really? Dreamy!?"
Di Xin was a little frightened and his face looked very ugly. If it was a dream, it would be too real.
Mainly because that Taoist's sword was so terrifying, as if it could kill immortals, destroy gods, and destroy everything.
He has never been so frightened since he became a martial artist.
He closed his eyes worriedly and activated his Qi. After sensing it, he found that there was nothing abnormal in his body.
And in a simple courtyard in the bustling Chaoge City.
An old man was walking around the pavilion with his hands behind his back, with a look of panic and worry.
There is a guqin placed in the pavilion, and an incense burner is burning in the incense burner next to the qin.
"Why are you in such a hurry to find me? Huh? What are you panicking about?"
At some point, a figure shrouded in a cloak appeared behind him.
Seeing this, the old man hurriedly stepped forward and raised his hands, saying worriedly: "Chief Immortal, the plan has changed. I heard that Zhong has put down the Beihai rebellion and will return to the court in the near future."
"Don't worry, since Wen Zhong has gone out, don't think about coming back easily and continue to act as planned!"
As the figure spoke, it suddenly turned into a burst of golden light and disappeared.
…
A ray of clear light passed through the gate of a small courtyard at the foot of the royal city and transformed into a Taoist.
"Looking at how sneaky you are, I know you're definitely up to no good."
In the yard, Bai Ze stepped forward and looked up and down, and said teasingly: "You have a new look and you are sweating profusely. Tell me, what did you do?"
Kong Xuan shook his head and smiled.
Yuding raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his head and said calmly: "Pindao ran all the way back from Beiju Luzhou. Isn't it normal to sweat a little on such a long journey?"
He didn't know if the incident at Nuwa Palace was God's will or if someone was planning it.
Not anyway
In order to alert the enemy, he took a safe approach and turned into a busker and entered the city instead of using magic.
Bai Ze stared at Yuding and said, "What is your relationship with those two Wu clan boys... You must give me an explanation."
Yuding felt a little guilty when he was stared at, and suddenly reacted, humming: "You want to explain, right? Then I will tell you directly, those two boys are my apprentices, what can you do? Who do you want to accept as a poor Taoist?" I accept anyone as my apprentice, and you still want to take care of me? How funny!"
"you……"
Bai Ze was stunned for a moment. He expected that Yuding might fight with him and would not answer the question directly.
But he didn't expect the jade tripod to be so strong.
"I tell you, Bai Ze, times have changed and the Demon Court is dead."
Yuding raised his hand and pointed at Bai Ze and said, "It's great that you old men of the Demon Court can survive, so don't think about making trouble every day and making any plans to rebel against the Heavenly Court and restore the Demon Court.
Think carefully about the ancient heaven, dragon, phoenix and unicorn tribes, or the witch tribe. How could any of them have experienced such a catastrophe and jumped around and made trouble like you? "
For a moment, Bai Ze was stunned by what Yuding said.
Seeing that Bai Ze was calmed down, Yu Ding quickly gave Kong Xuan a wink, and the two entered a house.
"No, I didn't do anything!"
Bai Ze reacted and said, "I'm not the one who caused the trouble. Didn't I ask you why you took in two Wu clan brats?"
boom!
The only response he received was the door being closed.
"Jade Cauldron!"
Bai Ze's face turned dark with anger. Besides, he was just asking and had no intention of making an attack.
After all, Yuding also accepted a junior from the demon clan as his apprentice.
But looking at Yuding's death...can't he even ask?
"Brother Yuding, actually Brother Bai didn't mean to embarrass you..." Kong Xuan explained to Bai Ze with a wry smile.
Yuding glanced outside: "I know, but this guy is just a bad guy, so he can't give him too much favor."
Uh... Kong Xuan was silent for a moment, then changed the subject and said, "Brother Yuding, look at my becoming the deputy commander..."
"I talked about the commander-in-chief, commander-in-chief, why are you still talking about the deputy commander-in-chief?"
Yuding smiled and said, "I have informed Wen Zhong about this. He went to Beihai before. I heard that the rebellion has been put down and he should be back soon. By then, having him personally guarantee will be much more useful than a letter of introduction."
Kong Xuan nodded lightly. Originally, he wanted to push the progress, but it was hard to speak again once he said these words.
Although what Brother Yuding said made sense, and the relationship with Brother Yuding would lead to a greater official position, he felt like he was being constrained by this matter and could only waste time with them every day.
If he had found another relationship... he would have become an official in the court by now!
The next day!
As the morning sun rose, civil and military officials filed into the main hall and began the morning session to discuss and deal with memorials sent by officials from various places and important military and political affairs.
It didn't take long.
"Report! Your Majesty, Dong Bohou sent someone to send an urgent report. Donghai Ping Linghou has rebelled against him, calling himself King Ping Ling. Please send troops to support him."
Just when all the civil servants and military officers were a little tired, suddenly an urgent report shocked all the civil servants and military officers.
"Ping Ling...King? A dog-like thing dares to claim the title of king!"
Di Xin glanced at the messenger below with a majestic look and said: "There are two hundred princes east of Dongbohou's headquarters. He has rebels under his command. He does not lead troops to put down the rebellion. Instead, he comes to Chaoge to ask for help. What is the meaning of this?"
The messenger was stared at with sweat on his head and hurriedly explained: "King Bing, Dongbohou has ordered Xiaohou Ye to lead people to suppress it, but Pinglinghou has colluded with many tribes in Yi..."
"Yifang?!"
Emperor Xin's eyes flashed. The so-called Yi Fang was actually a human tribe outside the two hundred people in the east, so it was also called Dongyi.
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!
In addition to Dongyi, there are also tribes such as Nanman, Xirong, and Beidi, which are the descendants of the great merchants and princes.
Enemy.
If we look at the larger picture, then the people in these barbarian tribes are also human beings.
However, these people have not been taught by the saints of the Central Plains, so they still maintain the fierce style of the ancient human race and embark on a different path from the Central Plains human race.
These barbarians are not engaged in production. If they lack anything, they invade the territory of the princes. They rob cattle and sheep, rob food, and rob women...
In this way, these barbarians are also regarded as aliens by the Central Plains humans.
In fact, it is not that these barbarian merchants formed a large army with the princes and went to annihilate them, but the opponents fought fiercely. They fought when they could. If they couldn't, they would retreat based on their geographical advantages.
When the coalition forces were exhausted and wanted to retreat, they were overtaken and attacked again... It was impossible to annihilate them like this.
"It seems that they want to be beaten again. Send an order to the three armies, and I want to lead the expedition myself!"
Di Xin stood up suddenly with a cold expression: "My great-grandfather failed to kill them, so I'll leave them alone."
The current enfeoffment system determined that the princes would submit and pay tribute to the King of Shang. However, when the property and safety of the princes were infringed, the King of Shang would also send troops to protect them.
Only in this way can the public be convinced, otherwise the consequences will be serious.
In fact, these barbarian intrusions happen from time to time, but the frustrating thing is that these barbarians cannot be killed, and they only come to disgust people every once in a while.
As for his great-grandfather, he was called Shang Wang Wu Yi.
At that time, great merchants believed in divination, and divination was required for all matters, even the heir to the throne, and the right to interpret the divination results rested with the wizard.
His great-grandfather realized the threat of this kind of divine power to the royal power, so after solving the threat of wizards and divine power, he conquered Dongyi in the east, Xirong in the west, and Beidi in the north, completely defeating these three scourges.
"No, Your Majesty!"
Hearing this, all the ministers were surprised and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
Huang Feihu clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty is the foundation of the country, how can you move lightly? Feihu is willing to ask for orders to lead his army to put down the rebellion."
At this time, Bigan came out and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is best to let Master Wen take a detour to the East China Sea to quell the rebellion.
Although the Grand Master has just experienced a campaign, firstly, the time to conquer Beihai is still short, and the army will not be too tired. Secondly, the Grand Master returns victoriously with strong morale. Secondly, the distance from the Grand Master to the East China Sea is closer than Chaoge. , the Fourth Grand Master is proficient in the Five Elements Taoism..."
"I second the proposal!"
After hearing this, all the ministers agreed and expressed their agreement.
Di Xin looked at Huang Feihu, who was asking for a fight, and Wang Shubi Gan, who was making suggestions. After thinking for a while, he ordered:
"Draft the order! Order the Grand Master to take a detour to Beihai to conquer Ping Linghou and the Dongyi tribes. Note that this time they must be beaten so hard that they will bleed."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
A group of ministers gave Di Xin a high hat again.
After this interruption, for a while, few people in the hall came forward to play.
When the driving officer looked at Di Xin's face, he shouted: "If you have something to do, go out to work. If nothing happens, please leave!"
Before he finished speaking, an old man came out of the queue and shouted: "My minister Shang Rong is in charge of the court's rituals and music, and I dare not fail to report anything.
Tomorrow is March 15th, the Christmas Eve of Empress Nuwa. Your Majesty, please come to Nuwa Palace to drop incense! "
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
All the ministers looked at each other and then came out to agree.
Emperor Xin said: "What merit does Nuwa have? She wants to go alone and bring incense to you?"
Shang Rongzou said: "Nuwa is an ancient goddess with holy virtues. At that time, Gonggong's head touched Buzhou Mountain and the sky tilted to the northwest...
Emperor Xin thought for a moment and said: "Zhun Qing's memorial."
…
In the small courtyard outside the royal city.
The dignified Shang King did not recognize Nuwa... Yuding frowned and stared at a light mirror floating in front of his eyes, reflecting the scene of the morning court at this time.
Of course, this scene was exactly the same as the original work of Fengshen, so it made him even more confused that there were people in this ancient world who didn't know about Nuwa.
In addition, there was another thing that surprised him.
"The order has not changed, but Prince Hirei's reverse... seems a bit early."
Jade Cauldron held his chin with his index finger and thumb and groaned, King Ping Ling
It is true that they rebelled after Yuan Futong, and it was indeed suppressed after Wen Zhong returned to court.
But... the time is advanced by more than ten years!
Because with the participation of his two evil disciples, Wen Zhong's conquest of Beihai ended more than ten years early.
"Prime Minister...Shang Rong!"
Finally, Yuding's eyes fell on the old man. He deduced that this old boy had a problem through the original work of Fengshen.
Anyway, no matter who mentions the issue of incense coming from Nuwa Palace, there will be a problem!
At this moment, he was even more sure. After all, you want to mention the matter of dropping incense from Nuwa Palace. No problem. There is plenty of time for you to talk about it.
But this old boy happened to be as silent as a mute. In the end, he only spoke out on the day before Nuwa’s Christmas, and there were a lot of people who agreed...
Didn't give Di Xin any time to react at all!
"This old boy!" Yuding shook his head, hoping that the hand he had left could be put to use...
