There was a burst of exclamation from the crowd. Different from modern people who have been penetrated into the bone marrow by materialism, in the eyes of ancient people, they lived in a world full of mystery and witchcraft, and many things seemed ridiculous to modern people. , but ancient people firmly believed it. This is not because ancient people were stupider than modern people, but because their worldviews were completely different. Modern people would only scold dog owners for being immoral and letting dogs poop everywhere if they step on dog poop when going out. Ancient people would feel that they had offended the gods and should pray and offer sacrifices to the gods.
"Everyone should have heard the story of Qiongqiong Pseudo and Okuninushi: Amaterasu Omikami's grandson Qiongqiong Pseudo came to Weiyuan China in an attempt to compete with Okuninus for the country, but failed. Amaterasu Omikami sent Kengo Thunder God , Amado Funakami came to the small beach of Inasa in Izumo Province, pulled out the ten swords, and asked the Okuninami who was sitting cross-legged. The Okuninami god passed the responsibility to his two sons. The God of Thunder surrendered the two gods one by one, and then the Lord God of Okunin surrendered the country to the God of Amaterasu.
But there is also a legend in Izumo country. After the Lord of Okuninya surrendered Weiyuan China to Tiansun, he boarded a ship and drifted away. Before leaving, he left a prophecy, saying that his descendants would come back by ship again in the future. , to regain this land from the descendants of Amaterasu Omikami. "
When Ji Jian Chiyun said this, the smarter people in the crowd could already guess what he was going to say next. They looked surprised, their mouths opened wide, and their faces were completely in disbelief, while those who were slower to react were Listening to it with gusto, the legend of the descendant of heaven descending and seizing the country from the hands of the Okuninikami of Izumo is a familiar story that every Japanese heard when they were young, but not many people heard of the Okuninami making a prophecy before leaving, but this is It fits the image of the Great Lord as a defeated but unconvinced god.
"We all know that when Tiansun came to Weiyuan China from Takamagahara, he received three artifacts given by Amaterasu Omikami, and agreed that Tiansun and his descendants would rule here from generation to generation. No one in this land can Defeat them.
The fact is that for thousands of years, the only one who can defeat the royal family is the royal family itself. All those who dare to challenge the rule of the Tiansun family, no matter how brave and good at fighting, are eventually defeated. But this time is different. Zuofudian came by boat from overseas and led the troops to defeat the prince, the elder brother. Moreover, his appearance is exactly the same as the statue of the Lord of the Kingdom. Why do you think this is? "
This time, even the dullest person understood what Ji Jian Chiyong meant. The warriors looked around in fear, as if looking for new support. Ancient myths and legends have reappeared today, and this time I am standing on the opposite side of the ancient gods. Is there anything more terrifying than this?
"Sanlang!" Saitama's weak voice came from Chengyu. Wang Wenzuo hurried over and saw a mocking smile on the queen's face: "I only knew you could lead troops to fight, but I didn't expect you could make up stories. For just a moment, it sounds just like the truth! Anyway, since you said that you are a descendant of the Great Lord God, then our child has the blood of both the Heavenly Grandson and the Great Lord, and naturally has the right to rule this country. But if you want to sit firmly The throne, this alone is not enough, you have killed all the royal family, right?"
"What?" Wang Wenzuo was stunned. He thought he heard wrongly and looked at Qiyu on the ride in surprise.
"Look at you, Saburo, you are good at everything, but you are too soft-hearted!" Saitama's face turned a sickly blush, and he smiled: "Compared with the battle between people, the battle between gods is more difficult. It's much crueler. If Tiansun had killed all the Great Lord God's clan, could you still say that you are a descendant of the Great Lord God? Our children are still young, and you can't stay here every day. If you don't eliminate all hidden dangers, There’s no way he’ll survive to adulthood!”
"Maybe what you said makes sense, but with so many descendants passed down from generation to generation, there are too many descendants of Tiansun, right? How can we kill them all?" Wang Wenzuo said with a bitter smile.
"Then we must kill all the descendants of the last five emperors!" Saitama's attitude was surprisingly firm: "They have many descendants and strong strength. If you are merciful, our children will not even be able to live to adulthood, let alone ascend the throne and become kings." . Sanlang, I know you are a kind-hearted person, but sometimes good people cannot do what they do. If you still miss me and this child in your heart, just take advantage of me while I am still alive and swear an oath in front of me that you will Chongjun and push the ancients. , Shu Ming, Huang Ji (Qi Ming), and Shun De, all the descendants and brothers of the five emperors, must be killed!"
Wang Wenzuo saw that Qiyu's breath was disordered and her eyes were scattered. He knew that Qiyu was not far from death. Thinking of the tender love she had with him in the past and the child in her arms, his heart softened and he nodded: "Don't worry. , I will definitely do what you said, and wipe out all the brothers and descendants of the five generations of emperors to eliminate future troubles for our children."
"Okay, okay, okay!" Saitama's eyes were full of joy when he heard this: "I feel relieved when you say that. As long as you can be ruthless, there is nothing you can't do in the world. These people are really confused. If the Lord God of the Great Country had the ability to give birth to a descendant like you, Saburo, how could he be defeated by Tiansun in the first place? But this is also a good thing, Saburo, while I am still alive, let our child be crowned king as soon as possible!"
Wang Wenzuo originally had hidden worries about using the Legend of Daikuninushi to build momentum. After all, Saitama himself is also a descendant of the Heavenly Sun, but he didn't expect that when things came to pass, Saitama not only didn't care about using the Legend of Daikuninushi to build momentum, but even made him swear to worship him. All the descendants and brothers of the five emperors of Jun, Tuigu, Shuming, Huangji (Qiming) and Shunde (actually six generations, Huangji and Qiming were the same emperor and ascended the throne twice) were killed.
As the saying goes, "The beauty of a gentleman is cut off after five generations." According to the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty, some descendants must be divided every five generations, and the descendants who are separated will build separate family temples, except for the first generation who was separated. In addition, subsequent descendants have no right to worship their ancestors and are regarded as another family and one surname. If all the living descendants of the five emperors, Chongjun, Tuigu, Shuming, Huangji (Qiming), and Shunde, were killed, it would mean that only her and Wang Wenzuo's son were left in the royal family. Naturally, there would be no need to worry about anyone taking the title of "the grandson of the emperor". "Sun" raised troops to resist. Wang Wenzuo was able to reach this day without knowing how many people's blood was on his hands, but Saitama said he was soft-hearted just now, but he was convinced.
Now that he had agreed, Wang Wenzuo no longer hesitated. He picked up the child and walked to the white horse, saying loudly: "The king has passed on the throne to Prince Yanliang, and has made me the minister of Taizheng, the general regent of the government, and the assistant to the new king. Today I am I will make an oath with you: from now on, if the Wang family is not the king, the whole world will attack him; if he does not have the merit of ascending the city and beheading the army, but becomes a prince, the whole world will punish him!" After saying this, he suddenly pulled out his hand. With his sword, he pierced the neck of the white horse next to him. The frightened white horse suddenly struggled and neighed. Cao Wenzong, who was already prepared, stretched out his hand to hold it down and couldn't move. He brought a porcelain bowl to the wound and filled it with the horse's blood. Wang Wenzuo reached out and dipped it in Horse blood smeared all over his lips: "If Wang breaks his oath, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!"
Ji saw Chi Ying standing aside, frightened by everything in front of him. At this moment, he suddenly felt someone push him from behind. He staggered forward four or five steps. When he looked up, it was Cao Wenzong. Holding a porcelain bowl filled with horse blood. He was so blessed that he quickly stretched out his hand and covered it with horse blood, smeared his lips, and said loudly: "From now on, unless the Wang family is the king, the whole world will attack him; unless he has the merit of ascending the city and beheading the army, he will be granted the title of Dimension." The whole world will punish him together! If I see anyone in Chiyang who violates the oath, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!" After swearing the blood oath, he stepped aside and stood with his sword in hand, looking majestic.
"From now on, if the Wang family is not the king, the whole world will attack him together; if he does not have the merit of ascending the city and beheading the army and is awarded the title of sect, the whole world will punish him! If Namba Heiroku breaks his oath in the future, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!"
As time went by, more and more warriors present took the blood oath, and the speed became faster and faster. There are two contents in the oath: the former is that only the Wang family (that is, the descendants of Wang Wenzuo) can ascend the throne as the king; and the latter is that only military merit can obtain land rewards. The two are actually an exchange, using the military merit feudal land system in exchange for The loyalty of the warriors to the new king. There is no doubt that for these warriors, it is a sure-profit deal. If everyone did not have time to understand the power of it at the beginning, but as the bloodshed continued, more and more warriors also understood it. After understanding the pros and cons, he naturally moved faster.
"Qitama, you see, these warriors have already sworn the blood oath, and they are the first batch of people to support our child's ascension to the throne!" Wang Wenzuo knelt beside Cheng Yu, pointed at the warriors who were vying to take the blood, and said softly.
"It's great, but it's a pity that I can no longer see Yanliang grow up and sit on the throne!" Saitama's voice has weakened to the point that it is no louder than a mosquito. It is obvious that death is not far away from her.
Seeing Qi Yu's appearance, Wang Wenzuo couldn't help sobbing. Although the woman in front of him was ruthless and decisive, she had nothing to say to herself. She even lost her life to give birth to her child. Now she wants to How can he not be sad if he leaves me forever?
"Sanlang, please stop crying, I don't have much time!" Saitama's eyes have lost focus. She tried her best to lift her fingertips. Wang Wenzuo quickly pressed it on her cheek. Saitama showed a smile: " After I die, you bury me under the pagoda of Shitennoji Temple, together with the relics, so that I don’t have to worry about being harmed by those evil spirits!”
"Don't worry, Saitama, I will do as you say!"
"Okay, I'm relieved if you say that!" Suddenly, a weak spasm passed through Saitama's body, her eyes suddenly lost the last bit of light, and she died.
————————————————————————————
Chang'an, Daming Palace.
"This is Wang Wenzuo's letter. Both Ying Gong and Prime Minister Xu have read it. Do you have anything to say?" Li Zhi asked the two old men sitting on his right side while combing his beard with a gold comb. Prince Li Hong stood beside Li Zhi's writing desk with his hands down, standing respectfully, just like a junior in an ordinary family who would accompany his elders to meet guests. It turns out that these two old men are Li Ji and Xu Jingzong. Of course, there is no need to mention Li Ji. He served for three dynasties and made countless military exploits. He was the first person in the military at that time; and Xu Jingzong was also an old man from the previous dynasty. His greatest contribution was in Li He played a key role in establishing the Wu family as his queen after the government was deposed. Later, he and Li Yifu, the minister of Zhongshu, falsely accused Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, and Han Ai of plotting evil, and forced them to kill Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang. A veteran of the former dynasty.
With this great achievement, he rose to great heights, became the prince's young master, and was the third rank of East and West Taiwan, and still supervised the compilation of national history. Up to this point, the importance and treatment Xu Jingzong received could only be compared to Li Ji in the current dynasty. Because Jingzong was old and could not walk, Li Zhi even ordered Xu Jingzong and Sikong Li Ji to ride ponies through the forbidden gate to the inner province every time they came to the court for an audience, without walking.
Xu Jingzong looked at Li Ji and saw that his eyes were slightly closed, his eyelids were drooped, his thick beard hung down to his chest and he was motionless. He seemed not to have heard the emperor's question just now. Obviously, the other party didn't want to be the first to speak. He couldn't help but secretly curse: "Old dog, you are so difficult!" If it had been anyone else, Xu Jingzong would have pretended to be dead like Li Ji. But the problem is that the person with him now is Li Ji. No matter in terms of qualifications, achievements or official positions, the other party is far above him. Even if he pretends to be dead, it is not his turn to pretend to be dead!
"Your Majesty, I think that if we follow what Wang Wenzuo said in his letter, he has merits and demerits. It is very difficult to judge!"
"Well! What is merit? What is fault?" Li Zhi asked.
"The merit is naturally the killing of Fuyu Fengzhang and Ampeh Hirafu. These two were the leaders of the bandits who once sent troops to Baekje. Wang Wenzuo killed the two leaders, which is naturally a great achievement. Also, he was able to make Japan surrender to the Tang Dynasty. , it’s also a meritorious service!”
"So what happened?"
"As the governor of the Xiongjin Governor's Mansion, he sent troops to the Japanese country several times to participate in the Japanese civil war without ever requesting troops from the imperial court. This is what he did! Also, it is an ironclad case that he dealt with Liu Renyuan. He was just doing it for Liu Renyuan. If you have personal favors for him, then you pray to the imperial court for leniency. This is akin to threatening the imperial court!"
"Xu Gong!" It was the prince who spoke this time, with an angry look on his face: "Wang Wenzuo had the official position of ambassador to the Japanese country, and he mobilized troops to quell the Japanese civil strife. What's wrong with this? If we wait until the court's decree is issued, things will It has long been a foregone conclusion. As for interceding for Liu Renyuan, this just shows that he is a person who never forgets his old kindness, and I think this should be rewarded!"
"Hong'er, you have no right to speak in front of Mr. Xu and Mr. Ying!" Li Zhi shouted: "I let you stand by the case today to let you learn, and I still haven't apologized to Mr. Xu!"
How dare Xu Jingzong ask the prince to apologize to him? He quickly stood up to avoid the bow of the prince Li Hong. He was secretly surprised. He heard that the prince liked Wang Wenzuo very much. He thought it was just a child's temper. Now it seems that it is not that simple. Just now What he said was still a bit arrogant.
The next chapter will conclude this volume, and the next volume should be the last volume of this book. Tired!
