Just two months after the crown prince's canonization ceremony, Emperor Yi, who was already ill, suddenly became worse. His symptoms of chest pain and coughing up blood became more and more frequent, and sometimes he could not even speak.

Emperor Yi, the great merchant king of the human race, finally passed away. Before his death, he entrusted his services to the Grand Master Wen Zhong, the Prime Minister Shang Rong, and the Imperial Master Qingyun Zhenren as the entrusting ministers.

Emperor Yi was fifty-two years old and had been in office for twenty-six years and nearly thirty years. When he took over, Dachang had already begun to decline. Although he did not make much contribution during his reign, he was still better than when he passed away.

The foundation at that time was much better, especially the military power of Dashang had been upgraded to a higher level, and it once again had the power to intimidate the princes.

As soon as the crown prince ascended the throne, everyone in the world called him "Zhou", which was the later King Zhou. (Zhou is not a posthumous title)

The 31 emperors of the Shang Dynasty were all named after the Heavenly Stem, Dayi (Tang), Taiding, Waibing, Zhongren, Taijia, Woding, Taigeng, Xiaojia, Yongji, Taiwu, Zhongding, and Wairen.

Hedanjia, Zuyi, Zuxin, Wojia, Zuding, Nangeng, Yangjia, Pangeng, Xiaoxin, Xiaoyi, Wuding, Zugeng, Zujia, Linxin, Kangding, Wuyi, Wending

, Emperor Yi, Emperor Xin (Zhou).

The new king of Dashang ascended the throne, and the thirty-first emperor was called "Di Xin".

As soon as the young Shang King Di Xin ascended the throne, he couldn't wait to show off his majesty and consolidate his throne. He even secretly promoted people who had long since surrendered to him. He was almost as clear about military power as King Zhou in the original work.

In the world in hand, I have this truth.

Emperor Xin's wife, Dong Bohou's daughter, Jiang, was named the Queen of the Middle Palace and commanded all the concubines in the harem, later known as Queen Jiang. Huang Feiyan, who was given a marriage by the late emperor, was also included in the palace and named the Noble Concubine of the West Palace. There was also a Noble Concubine of the West Palace.

Concubine Yang.

With the new death of Emperor Yi, the newly stable world seems to be a little unstable. Eight hundred princes are secretly watching the excitement, especially the four major princes.

Grand Master Wen Zhong even personally led the troops to sit down and sing songs to suppress the night. Prime Minister Shang Rong assisted the new king in assisting the government. The Imperial Master Qingyun Zhenren was extremely mysterious and almost disappeared. It was said that he often practiced in the mansion. It was precisely because this Imperial Master did not

Without affecting the national power, almost all the officials of the Shang Dynasty acquiesced to this mysterious national advisor.

Huang Gun, the great general of Wuwei, was named the guard general of Jiepai Pass. You can almost see the methods of this young Shang king.

To the surprise of many people, Jiang Wenhuan, the son of Dongbohou and the brother of the queen, was named the general of the auxiliary country. Although he was not summoned to Chaoge, it shows that King Zhou's methods were high. He first appeased the four major princes.

one.

After taking the throne, Emperor Xin, after careful consideration, actually started to make changes like boiling frogs in Dashang's current political system. After all, he had gone through such a long period of training from the imperial master.

But there are also many things that are unrealistic. For example, the hundreds of reincarnations he has experienced seem to be a purely mortal world, not his chaotic world of immortals, humans, ghosts, and gods, so many of them are not suitable for it.

When all the princes in the world were watching the excitement, no one thought that this new king, who was famous for his martial arts, would surprise everyone in the world.

Emperor Xin of Dashang published a wonderful book, "Da Shang Rites and Music"!

Yes! It’s plagiarism again, “plagiarizing” the future thoughts and theories of Zhou Gongdan, the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou Dynasty. It was the work of Qingyun, the great master of the Shang Dynasty. One of Zhou Gongdan’s greatest contributions to our Chinese civilization is “making rituals and making music”

, use morality to regulate people's behavior, so that mankind can bid farewell to the barbaric era,

"Dashang Rites and Music" is divided into two major chapters: "Li" and "Music". The "Li" chapter is the focus of the whole book, with the hierarchical theory of "Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Rules". "Three Cardinal Guidelines" means "the king is the guideline for the ministers, and the father is the guideline for the son.

"The husband is the guide for the wife", which requires ministers, sons, and wives to absolutely obey the king, father, and husband. It also requires the king, father, and husband to set an example for ministers, sons, and wives.

It reflects a special moral relationship between monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, and couples in the current era. The "Five Constants" are benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom, and trustworthiness, which are used to adjust and regulate monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, brothers, couples, friends, etc.

Code of conduct for human relations.

Although from a historical perspective, it embodies the various relationships of the entire feudal rule, becomes the guiding ideology of feudal legislation, and is an ideological weapon used by the feudal ruling class to control and imprison people's thoughts and prevent the people from "committing rebellion", but in

This more primitive and barbaric society of gods and ghosts undoubtedly has a huge positive effect. At the same time, it can further consolidate the political power of Dashang from an ideological and theoretical perspective and lay the foundation for the implementation of a new social system in the future.

Of course, in order to further win the hearts and minds of the people and to ensure that this book can be passed down, Qingyun specifically pointed out in the book that the king should pay attention to the support of the people and consider the feelings of the people. He also "quoted" "Water can carry a boat, and it can also carry a boat."

The famous saying "capture the boat". With these theories, not to mention Emperor Xin, even the kings of later generations would be eager to use them.

This is simply to make everyone in the world know about loyalty, and it will be the favorite purpose of every king in the future.

The publication of the wonderful book "The Rites and Music of the Great Shang" shocked the world, especially now that the human world belongs to the human race. Not to mention Emperor Xin, even the eight hundred princes in the world have taken it as a treasure and ordered it to be spread under their rule. This is not a show of force.

Is it clear that I should give them the idea that it is natural for the people below to be obedient and loyal?

After all, the princes in today's world are small countries, and the big merchants are not qualified to interfere in their government affairs. The relationship between the two sides is very delicate. The Shang Dynasty is like an orthodox human dynasty, and the feudal princes below are all controlled by the local princes.

For everything, they only need to pay tribute every year.

Just when Emperor Xin was vigorously consolidating his rule, an urgent war report came from Dongyi, which immediately made him furious.

"The Dongyi bandits have been wiped out. Several border princes and small countries have kidnapped countless women and money. Dongbohou's land of Donglu has also been attacked on a large scale. He has no time to take care of himself, so I ask the king to send troops to support."

Holding the urgent report sent by Dong Bohou, Di Xin couldn't help but mockingly raised the so-called successful report in his palm, and he was immediately furious.

"You have too much time to take care of yourself! Hum hum, do you believe it?"

With a weird smile, Di Xin threw the urgent report at his feet mockingly.

"It seems that Gu's father-in-law wants to preserve his strength and is not willing to waste his troops in a real fight with Dongyi! No wonder he urgently reports the need for reinforcements every time, and after Dongyi retreats, he enthusiastically helps those small Zhu to regain their kingdom.

To gain the reputation of benevolence and righteousness, and secondly, to prevent my territory from bordering Dongyi, so as to avoid direct conflicts of interest. Therefore, every time Dongyi suffers a disaster, it is the small princes who suffer! What a Dongbohou!"

Although he is his father-in-law, there is no family relationship between the Wang family. Emperor Xin understands this truth deeply. At this time, there are only Grand Master Wen Zhong, Imperial Master Qingyun Zhenren, Prime Minister Shang Rong, General Huang Feihu and more than a dozen of Emperor Xin's relatives in the hall.

A trusted general.

Faced with this problem, Taishi Wen Zhong narrowed his eyes. This Dongbohou was a little ungrateful. I am afraid that there are princes secretly adding fuel to the fire and wanting to test the new king of Dashang.

"My veteran minister is not talented, so he is willing to lead the army to march eastward to quell the danger of the Eastern Yi!" Hearing that the Grand Master was a standard loyal minister who "eats the emperor's salary and bears the emperor's worries", he immediately volunteered to lead the expedition.

However, Di Xin, who had just ascended the throne, took a deep breath, Dong Yi! He was very clear about that.

"Old Grand Master, you have served me as a great Shang army, and you have worked hard and achieved great results. I can't bear to make you tired again. This time, I invite the Grand Master to sit in Chaoge, and I will personally conquer Dongyi, vowing to pacify Dongyi!" Emperor Xin stood up suddenly, with eyes in his eyes.

Shoots out scorching light.

However, in the imagination, Wen Zhong asked for orders to go out again but did not appear. Wen Zhong was seen directly holding his fists and retreating slightly, narrowing his eyes slightly. At this moment, everyone looked at Di Xin's expression again.

They all suddenly realized that Emperor Xin had been quite famous for fighting in Dongyi before this, and now he could take this opportunity to defeat Dongyi with his new king and achieve the purpose of intimidating the princes.

The next moment, all the generals showed fiery eyes, and it was obvious that Prime Minister Shang Rong also agreed with this matter. After all, there are gods and ghosts in this world. It is not bad for the king of the dynasty to be good at fighting. On the contrary, a brave king in this era is more beloved.

"The Great Shang Dynasty has been declining day by day since Wu Ding, and it has long lost the power of the Holy Ancestor of Tang Dynasty. Now there are eight hundred princes in the country with their own ambitions, and there are dogs and warriors outside. Dongyi is watching with eager eyes, and it has actually reached the point of internal and external difficulties! After Gu Zi ascended the throne,

Although we are committed to developing and enriching our national strength, it will not be possible to reverse the decline overnight. As a king, you should cultivate virtues internally and manage military preparations externally. The national master issued a strange book, which was praised by the whole world, which is really a sign of virtue. Now the emperor is going to fight in person.

The purpose of annexing Dongyi is to establish power and virtue, so that it can overwhelm the princes of the world and develop the great plan of the great merchants and thousands of dynasties to come and congratulate them."

After seeing his confidants in the hall, Di Xin spoke out his ambitions without reservation. Immediately, Wen Zhongdu couldn't help but open his eyes with admiration.

Prime Minister Shang Rong also nodded, and then Emperor Xin turned his head to look at the Imperial Preceptor. This time, it was not only for the great merchant to establish his prestige, but also for himself. He directly and respectfully said in a deep voice: "In this battle, Commander Gu will lead

I will personally conquer Dongyi with a large army, and I will recruit 300,000 elite troops from the Great Shang, and at the same time, I will ask the national advisor to help me."

That’s right! Others don’t know the identity of the imperial master, but he knows it very well. Even the grand master Wen Zhong is his disciple, and he is registered.

But outsiders don’t know this, and the Imperial Preceptor is obviously the one with the least prestige in Great Shang. Together with the great Grand Master Wen Zhong and the Prime Minister Shang Rong who has governed the Yin and Shang Dynasties for decades, the Imperial Preceptor Qingyun Zhenren is among them.

In the eyes of big businessmen, they are simply the most inconspicuous.

This time he was also trying to rectify the name of the Imperial Master, but in fact King Zhou narrowed his eyes and his mental calculations were also going wrong. He led Wen Zhong to the point where he had no reputation and could not reach the point where he could establish his own authority.

Prime Minister Shang Rong was even more ridiculous. Instead, Shang Rong left Chao Ge to continue to manage the government affairs. Wu You Taishi Wen Zhong sat in Chao Ge, which was enough to shock the world.

Going on an expedition with an unknown national advisor gives you an added layer of security, and if he has made a great contribution, people in the world will only think it is him.

How could Qingyun not know about Di Xin's little calculation, but instead of being disgusted, he smiled. Sure enough, King Zhou had grown up a lot, and his sophistication in methods was completely different from what he had been before.

"Since I am the national advisor of Great Shang, of course I will help Great Shang put down the rebellion."

Everyone didn't think anything after watching the most inconspicuous Imperial Master bow and answer. Instead, Emperor Xin smiled. Wen Zhong felt even more relieved, and was even ready to wait for the good news to come back.

"Grand Master, I want to choose Dashi's elite soldiers and generals, with 300,000 elite soldiers!"

Di Xin looked at the Grand Master with his last fiery gaze, and saw Wen Zhong stroking his beard and nodding his head with a flash of appreciation in his eyes, "I will do my best to help the king."

As expected, he was worthy of being a human king. This war not only gave the new king of Dashang an opportunity to establish his authority, but also gave him an opportunity to reorganize the three armies of Dashang, and to train the new king's own people.

Di Xin's growth is astonishing, especially his skills that were once a little immature, are now so perfect that even Prime Minister Shang Rong can't help but secretly admire him, his king is simply a born king.

The mighty Great Shang began to operate. At the same time, the four major princes and eight hundred small princes in the world looked at the Great Shang.

Chaos, Wa Palace.

"Sister Nuwa."

Hongyun, who came to the Wa Palace for the first time, was immediately dazzled by the sight. There were innate things everywhere in the palace, especially the bed where Nuwa Qingyun was sitting. Under the cloud bed where she was sitting, there was even more spiritual light flashing, which was so densely packed.

These are the auras that only appear from innate spiritual treasures.

"Junior Brother Hongyun."

Nuwa stretched lazily, and then said with a smile: "Junior brother, why do you want to come to our palace today?"

Looking at Nuwa, Hongyun didn't hesitate this time and directly showed her cards.

"Senior sister, Mahayana Buddhism wants to spread eastward, but the Sanqing Dynasty is powerful, so forget it, but this is a plan to confer gods, kill and rob Taiqing to plot against our disciples."

As the saying goes, what can be tolerated and what cannot be tolerated? How could Hongyun not make preparations for such a scheme against his disciples? Nuwa narrowed her eyes when she heard this.

"Junior brother, what do you mean?"

Looking at Nuwa who was still pretending to be stupid, Hongyun could cover it up this time and said with a smile: "Senior sister, you should know that the Three Pure Ones are one body, there are two saints in the west, senior sister, you and I are in alliance, and the Houtu is in the Six Paths."

In a word, others are all working together. If you don't show your sincerity, we will really be defeated one by one.

"Senior sister! What are your plans on the human race? And Sanqing!"
