On the third day of the Shouqiu Rebellion, conflicts broke out here every day. Now Shouqiu has become the main battlefield of the conflict. People from various tribes do not produce during the day, but only fight. And on this day, the leaders Traveling day and night, people covered with stars and moonlight rushed here. Before they could release their horses, the leaders had already led their men into the fighting area.
Suddenly there was chaos here!
"People from the Central Plains!"
Someone saw Chonghua and the others wearing the clothes of the Central Plains and immediately took action. Gao Tao took action from the side, and seven or eight people were immediately slapped and flew away. However, the crowd was boiling and Gao Tao did not dare to take action without hesitation. At this time, someone came to Chonghua, grabbed Chonghua's arm, and slashed with his sword!
boom!
A thunderous sound suddenly stopped the boiling sound for a moment. Lightning flashed across Chonghua's body for a moment, and then disappeared without a trace. This loud noise made many people around him suddenly look at him. He stopped moving briefly.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the momentum of the big leaders and the big totem warriors they brought quickly suppressed the rioting crowds on both sides. Although there were also big totem warriors in the crowd, they were pulled down by the sober companions. , and gradually calmed down.
"Yes, it's the leaders!"
"The leaders are here! People of the Bai people, wait to die!"
When some people from the Dongyi tribe saw the leaders of the Nine Tribes, they suddenly felt like they could see the moonlight when the clouds cleared. However, the Bai people looked sad, and the leader of the Bai Min Kingdom was even more angry. He ignored them and faced the leaders. They angrily said:
"The people of Dongyi are killing my people. This is an irreconcilable hatred!"
Chonghua stepped forward, but looked directly at him and did not say anything about the misunderstanding.
This made Master Gaotao very strange, so he said: "Chonghua, why don't you say anything... This must be a misunderstanding..."
Chonghua said: "Say it's a misunderstanding, it will make Lord Baimin even more angry. Besides, with so many people dead, it's not something that can be solved with just two words."
"Lord Gaotao, if this happened in the Central Plains and was a fight between two tribes, how would you handle it?"
Gao Tao said: "After questioning, carefully examine and then impose punishment... The three crimes are all there, and the five punishments are not abolished. Whatever should be done, just follow it."
Chonghua said: "Then the key point is to carefully examine it. We need to see where the person who was shot to death is immediately."
Chonghua paid no attention to Lord Bai Min, but asked to see the man who was shot to death. Lord Bai Min looked at his silhouette walking aside and asked his people if they knew anyone. A businessman with Bai Min said: "Guo Min Lord, he is Yao Chonghua, who did business in Shouxiu, and later came to Shangqiu to govern the area. He was promoted to Tao Tang because of his merits in controlling water..."
"He is Yao Chonghua!"
Lord Bai Min stared at Chonghua's side face for a while and said coldly: "After all, he is a Dongyi person. Even if he puts on the clothes of the Central Plains, he still cannot change his intention to face Dongyi in his bones!"
"Let Dongyi decide the matter between Zhongyuan and Dongyi, he will definitely favor Dongyi!"
Your mother’s banana man, get out of the Central Plains!
Gao Tao heard this and looked at him coldly, shouting to him from a distance: "The Dongyi people serve as officials in the Central Plains and come to help mediate the affairs between the Central Plains and Dongyi. You don't know his nature, so you do such a biased thing." The conclusion is that when the Central Plains people arrived in Dongyi, Shaohao and Chi You didn’t get along, and Chi You left the tribe, but Shao Hao was not seen favoring the Central Plains people!"
"Then, according to what you say, why not find someone from Baiyue, someone from Sanmiao, someone from the Third Division of Kunlun to settle the matter!"
Lord Baimin sneered and said nothing. Isn't that what he was thinking? You should find someone from Baiyue or Sanmiao.
The atmosphere here was tense. When Chonghua looked at the corpse, the Central Plains people around him looked at him with hostility. Some people whispered that if the Dongyi people were officials in the Central Plains, they must still be facing Dongyi. After all, the Central Plains suffered a big loss in this matter.
Chonghua said nothing. He saw blood on the heart of the corpse, but there was no injury from the arrow. The blood had dried up and seeped out from the inside of the heart. The power of the arrow had reached the body, but there were no wounds on the outside.
"What a wonderful skill..."
Chonghua had never seen this kind of archery before, and was stunned for a long time.
How to find the murderer?
You murderers... This is really an understanding of murder that transcends the times. Murderers in the past always created their own alibi. Good guy, now you have even given out the alibi for the murder weapon.
Chonghua murmured in his heart.
I really like to make people's work more difficult. With this killer's skills, I can't hire him even if I don't have five dollars.
Fortunately, the intention of finding the murderer was secondary. Chonghua had already made a plan in his mind. Since he didn't know how the arrow killed people, it no longer mattered who the murderer was.
"Everyone, be quiet and please listen to me..."
Chonghua spoke, and his eyes fell on Lord Bai Min.
Chonghua can conclude that the death of Bai Min was definitely the behavior of the Four Emperors, but there is no evidence now, and the Central Plains must have received news of the Shouqiu Rebellion. At this time, the Central Plains should have been filled with anger. ...
It can only be said that Emperor Hong really does not regard his descendants as human beings...
"If someone without benevolence, righteousness and morality still wants to gain the right to sacrifice in the world, won't the world return to a period of chaos?"
Di Hong's ability to come up with such a damaging move probably gave him a dozen more white hairs.
Chonghua had a suspicion in his mind. This time, the Four Emperors seemed to be coming for him and Master Gaotao.
Loss hexagram, loss is lower and benefit is higher, and its connection is upward.
"Lord Gaotao..."
So Chonghua asked for a pair of tortoise shells on the spot. When he was getting the tortoise shells, he said "loss" to Master Gaotao.
"The people of Dongyi believe in the heaven, and the people of the Central Plains respect the Emperor of Heaven. Now let's start with a hexagram to see what God's will is."
When everyone heard this method, there was no objection.
Divination before important events is a common practice.
Gao Tao was originally the great leader of the Dongyi people. As he matured into a mature man, he immediately understood the meaning of the word "loss". When taking out the tortoise shell, he used a knife to draw some light marks on it.
Then the flames rose, and Chonghua spoke to everyone, offering sacrifices to the Emperor of Heaven and Dongyi's sky on the spot. The Qionglu came up, and God gave bright light. So when the hexagram appeared, it was the "loss hexagram"!
"God's will has been revealed! This matter was deliberately done by someone to push the Central Plains and Dongyi to be at odds with each other. They were killing people with 'borrowed arrows'!"
The Dongyi people believed more in the will of heaven. They all looked stunned at this time, but they still had doubts. The Bai people were also puzzled. The leader of Bai Min frowned and looked at Yao Chonghua, but he did not expect that Chonghua was also looking at him.
Chonghua told everyone that this time the Central Plains sent people to Dongyi to use the eastward route to conquer the Wei Kingdom. At this time, if the Central Plains fought with Dongyi, it would naturally be beneficial to the Wei Kingdom.
So the Dongyi people suddenly seemed to be awakened, their expressions changed indefinitely, and the white people in the Central Plains also looked at each other.
"Furthermore, together with this matter, we can also see the problem. The Central Plains and Dongyi have been in peace for many years. It turns out that it is just on the surface. Privately, they still have lingering hatred, so they were taken advantage of by the traitor this time. ..."
As Chonghua said, Lord Baimin retorted: "Although the hexagrams were obtained from the Emperor of Heaven and Heaven, they may not be completely accurate. If there really is a hand that borrowed the arrows, where is the person who shot the arrows?"
"Can you excuse the Dongyi people based on a single bad hexagram?"
People in the Central Plains have had a custom since ancient times that "good things are destined to happen, bad things are up to you." Chonghua couldn't help but laugh a little.
"Since hunting, when an arrow is shot, it has four elements: one is the bow, the second is the string, the third is the arrow, and the fourth is the target."
"A bow without a string is useless, a bow without an arrow has no damage, a bow without an arrow has no target, but the last three without a bow are nothing but scattered sand."
"The bow does not kill people, but the string and arrows kill people. The bow does not move but the strings and arrows move. But the world says that it is the bow that kills people, but never that it is the strings and arrows that kill people, because without a bow, they are useless. And wherever the arrow lands, the opposite direction is the direction of the bow."
"The conflict between the Central Plains and Dongyi is caused by this big bow. If the injured person appears in Dongyi, then..."
"The arrow came from it."
When these five words fell, the Bai people were immediately shocked. There was a lot of anger on the spot, scolding him for being a member of the Dongyi people and dirtying the clothes of the Central Plains. However, Chonghua said nothing and just looked at them like this.
At the same time, many Dongyi leaders have gradually come to understand.
The Shaocheng clan...no, the Four Emperors!
Chief Maiqiu’s face turned red and he was furious!
"They are treating us as a target!"
The one who was hurt was a Central Plains person, but he died in Dongyi's place. Coupled with the previous recruitment of the Four Emperors, as well as the Central Plains' plan to conquer the Wei Kingdom, Dongyi protected the Wei Kingdom. The conflict broke out at this time and became out of control.
Gao Tao also realized it at this time and shouted in his heart that it was not good!
Everyone in Shouqiu has realized this, but the people in the Central Plains... are probably full of anger!
Gao Tao asked Chonghua to go back immediately to the Central Plains and suppress this matter!
————
The land of Taotang at this time!
Emperor Fangxun formed a camp with Siyue, Qi, Yanlong, and Kui, thinking that there was something fishy. However, the four emperors, Gonggong, and Huandou encouraged the people to say that people from Dongyi were killing the people of Central Asia. The ministers had different ideas. The Shaodian clan stayed behind closed doors, and the Fang Lei clan, Tong Yu clan, Chen Feng clan, etc. all remained silent!
Peng Zu, Bocheng Zigao, Qiao Chui and others also opposed the use of force. They believed that there was a direct conflict without even an investigation. This was problematic no matter how you looked at it.
Fuxi's Liuzuo arrived, together with the Getian clan, Su Lu clan and others. Although they did not know the situation clearly, they also opposed the Four Emperors' proposal.
The king must not be angry and raise an army!
This fierce debate lasted for several days, and the people's reaction became more and more fierce. More and more tribal leaders came to the scene. Di Fangxun watched everything with cold eyes, those tribes who did not speak, and those who expressed their opinions to him in advance. He kept all the tribes with bad attitude in his heart.
This fight, in the final analysis, is a fight for power.
The Four Emperors also knew that after they conquered the throne, they would give in and let someone become the regent. At this time, the Four Emperors basically showed their cards, because they were waiting for such an opportunity.
Di Fangxun also has his own way of coping, which is "the secret of procrastination".
The drag secret is the tenth secret of the Nine Secrets, and the effect lasts for 1 second (funny).
However, this secret is also risky, because he does not know much about Shouqiu's affairs. At this time, Fang Qi is going to investigate, and the people are releasing huge resentment every moment.
Don’t you see, during the time of Shennong, what happened to the Susha family?
Therefore, Emperor Fangxun was also under great pressure. If the Four Emperors took the initiative regarding public opinion and even the battle this time, then he might really be "overthrown."
The Four Emperors knew that most of the people would not support them. What the people upheld was the abdication system, so they raised the issue to a huge conflict between the alliances, involving the dignity of the tribe and the majesty of the alliance... .
"It's an old trick."
This is an old trick used by the Four Emperors in the days of Emperor Zhi.
When Di Fangxun saw this scene, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
Many years later, I became Emperor Zhi, but some people are still alive... The past years are still vivid in their minds. This time, they are not planning to nominate others because of their own accident, which suppressed their six lives. Ten years....
And the secret of dragging characters quickly had an effect. Emperor Fangxun asked Yan Long to explain the truth and situation to the people, which meant that this expedition was not a trivial matter. If there was a war with Dongyi, many people would have to be summoned!
However, there are so many people that the daily statistics are limited. Now Tao Tang is discussing the matter of offering sacrifices and going on an expedition. He asks everyone to contribute their own strength to the conquest of Dongyi!
This move really frightened the four emperors. They thought that Emperor Fangxun would maintain stability, but they didn't expect this bad old man to directly use a wartime mobilization move!
Not only did he win the hearts of the people, he was also not criticized by anyone! Everyone said that the Emperor of Heaven was so powerful that he must let the Dongyi people have a taste of the power of the Central Plains!
This wave, this wave is a reverse charge!
The Four Emperors were really starting to get a little scared about this battle, because it was so big that it was beyond their control, and public opinion began to be out of their hands.
But Di Fangxun sneered in his heart.
Don’t you want to do it? Let me help you make it bigger!
It’s so big that everyone in the Central Plains knows about it, and there’s no need for spring plowing anymore!
As we all know, the larger the bubbles appear on the water flow, the faster they will burst!
"No, we must get the army out quickly. If anything happens, it will be difficult for these people to settle down!"
"Morality, benevolence and righteousness, if a piece of fox skin is torn into pieces, the skeleton of a wolf will be exposed!"
The four emperors were worried here, but on the other side, Qi and Emperor Fangxun were discussing things.
"What will my brother do if he doesn't come back?"
"Brother, don't worry."
Di Fangxun said to Qi, brother, don't worry, Fangqi will definitely not be able to come back within the time limit.
Qina was shocked on the spot, saying that you are old, are you seeking death?
Why do you want to run away to Daxia to find the third child? You take me one.
"No rush, no rush, we won't do the spring plowing anymore. The Four Emperors want to set an example. In two days, do you believe they are asking me to postpone the Eastern Expedition?"
The agreement said: "If it lasts these two days, they will forcibly disobey the emperor's orders, and go to seal the land separately, closing the huge city to show the emperor's delay... I'm afraid there will be rumors among the people..."
Di Fangxun said: "It seems that they have begun to try to criticize me among the people again. Are they saying that I am old, unable to know people well, a little indecisive, and have lost my spirit?"
"The emperor is old...but they are not wrong. I am indeed old."
"I used to say: If a person is hungry, it was me who starved him; if a person is frozen, it was me who froze him; if a person is convicted, it was me who harmed him..."
"Now, if a person dies, then I will kill him."
"So I think, since they are not prepared to obey the order, then we here will summon them again tomorrow."
Di Fangxun's brows moved, and the old man happily said to his elder brother:
"However, people outside are probably beginning to know that I am sick now, but I still insist on going to the Eastern Expedition tomorrow. This is benevolent and righteous to the people. However, the spring plowing will not be carried out and the people have no food left in their homes. I suggest this. , we take the lead in providing this ration, the four emperors are all old emperors, and they have a prominent status, so they should be given more..."
After hearing this, Qi was stunned!
Good guy, good brother, this is over, you are taking advantage of this opportunity to ask for money, food and materials from various imperial clans!
Once they were completely plundered, they started complaining, and they were the ones who initiated the matter. In the end, the moral and righteous people stood by your side!
The people have benefited, you have gained fame, you have also cut off some resistance to the new emperor, and screened out the Four Emperors and the Central Faction...
As long as the Four Emperors are not evil, they will definitely oppose the Eastern Expedition!
Qi suddenly slapped Di Fangxun:
"Old man, you're the one who knows how to play! He's as kind as heaven!"
You have taken all the benefits, but they are no longer human inside and out!
Di Fangxun chuckled and took out the precious bottle of vinegar.
"Come on, let's celebrate with a few sips..."
