Chapter 179: The actors and the stage are in place, just wait
Recently, Jiang Ziya has been living a very nourishing life, as a powerful marshal of the army, his authority is all over the sky, and every day there are beautiful girls taken from all over the world for him to enjoy, and the several armies under his command are all going well, which makes him start to feel a little fluttery. Just when the news from all sides rushed to his advantage, the news of the death of Xibo Hou Jichang suddenly came.
At that time, Jiang Ziya was stirring on the bodies of four young girls, a herald broke in directly without a pass, and the soldiers in full armor also carried waist knives, and Jiang Ziya, who thought it was a rebellion among his subordinates, almost wilted, and when he learned the terrifying news, Jiang Ziya turned over from the bed with a cleverness, and hurriedly asked someone to prepare the carriage and horse, and wanted to rush back immediately.
Di Xin, who was anxious, after learning the news of Ji Chang's violent death, looked up to the sky and laughed, and the worries of many days also got a chance to breathe at this moment, and he even asked his subordinates to call two local maids to come to bed.
And the ministers of Chaoge were also excited after learning the news, just when all the forces involved were in different moods or excited or depressed, only one woman was still watching coldly, she knew that the death of a Ji Chang could not change anything, after all, that old guy still had eighteen sons.
Daji immediately summoned the ministers who stayed in the court song in the name of the princess, she asked everyone not to slack off, before the king did not return to the court, everyone performed their duties and actively prepared for war, at this time the atmosphere of male superiority and inferiority of women also began to rise gradually in the court song, several ministers turned their noses to the princess's edict, why should a woman who is not even a queen point fingers at them? Seeing this, Daji did not hesitate to pull out the shoulder knife of the guard next to him, and killed those few courtiers who were not inferior in a few strokes, which made everyone on the scene stunned, no matter what they thought in their hearts, at least on the surface, they all obeyed Daji's orders.
At this time, Daji was already crazy, as the fate of the day was getting closer and closer, the restless Daji began to reveal her tyrannical side as a demon clan, since she was destined to perish, what about cleaning up a few people she looked unhappy with before perishing?
Fengjing, a place that is famous in Chinese history, was known as the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties in later generations, and its most common name in history is Chang'an.
And the Chang'an of later generations, now Fengjing, is the capital of the Zhou State, above the court, the throne is empty, the queen Taiji sat next to the throne, her face was a little gloomy, Ji Chang's eighteen sons, in addition to Ji Kao, who had died, the other seventeen people gathered together, making this small court seem a little crowded, Taishi Jiang Ziya is located at the forefront of the courtiers, today's court meeting is to decide the ownership of Ji Chang's successor after his death.
These seventeen princes had already started all kinds of scrambles openly and secretly, and the forces behind them also exerted their strength at this time, fighting for a group in the court, and they did not discuss a result for a long time. Jiang Ziya received the news from Antarctica, and when everyone was tired, he coughed lightly and said.
"Queen, colleagues, the belonging of the king this week, I think that the first thing is that the queen will be qualified to succeed him."
As soon as this sentence was said, the argument on the field became more intense, and those princes were divided into two types, the sons born to the queen nodded yes one after another, and the sons born to other concubines looked at Jiang Ziya angrily. Jiang Ziya didn't care, these princes who want military power but no military power, and they want financial power but no financial power, he, the prince who is the head of a hundred officials, will not take it seriously, glanced at those princes who came out, and after snorting, he turned his head and ignored them.
And the queen's sons have a total of seven, at this time they are looking at their mother with eager faces, as concubines, their power in the court, naturally much stronger than those princes, the forces behind the seven people united, and soon suppressed the other forces. After seeing that the courtiers ruled out the inheritance rights of the concubines, Jiang Ziya went out of class again and said.
"Since only the eldest son has the right to inherit, then naturally the eldest son is the first heir, but now that the eldest son has died early, this throne should naturally be inherited by the second son."
"Boom", the scene got out of control again, Jiang Ziya knew that this was a critical moment, and they all gave their own officials a look, and the queen Taiji saw that Jiang Ziya excluded her son who was not her own, and she was grateful, so she naturally wanted to express it. These seven sons, no matter who sits on the throne, as their own mother, naturally there is not much difference. But if someone else's son sits on the throne, then his position is in danger.
In order to quickly calm down this discussion, not only to prevent the resurgence of those princes, but also to repay Jiang Ziya's gift, the queen Taiji stood up and said, "What Taishi Jiang Shang said is reasonable, and the second son Ji Fa is heroic and pure filial piety, talented and intelligent, and is an ideal candidate for the king of Zhou." I agree with the Taishi. ”
The ministers are not stupid, seeing that the queen and the princess have reached an agreement, since the two people who have the most say in the inheritance have agreed, then they naturally have no reason to object, even if they disagree, what will happen? No one would be stupid enough to raise objections at this stall, so that the future monarch will hold a grudge, which is purely to make himself uncomfortable in the future.
So in a congratulatory voice, Ji Fa was elected as the new king of Zhou, and succeeded to the throne on a later date after Ji Chang entered the earth. The titular founder of the Zhou Dynasty, King Wu of Zhou, finally stepped onto the stage of history.
Just when the Zhou State was carrying out this court meeting to carry forward the past and open up the future, Jiang Ziya's generals did not stop attacking, and the soldiers and horses of the Zhou State had opened up all the cities leading to Chaoge, and the soldiers once again pointed directly at Chaoge City.
Eventually, Emperor Xin rushed back to Chaoge in winter, and no one would brave the cold to fight in this era, so this winter was often a season of peace, but everyone knew that after this winter was over, it was the time of the decisive battle between the two countries.
The cold wind outside the window is cold, but the palace of Chaoge is warm like spring, today is the fourth day of Di Xin rushing back to Chaoge, in the first three days, Di Xin issued one order after another, and was busy discussing various things with his courtiers all day long, and he was busy for three days, so he had time to come to the harem to rest for a while.
Daji came behind Di Xin, gently took off the thick coat for him, and used his slender jade hand to hold Di Xin's broad palm, and took a few breaths in the palm, then raised his head to look at Di Xin, who was just in his early thirties, but because of overwork, he had already grown a lot of gray hair, and the bloodshot eyes were also reminding the owner of this body that he was overwhelmed. Daji caressed Di Xin's face distressedly, and her heart was unspeakably uncomfortable. The thousand words in his heart turned into a silent sigh at this moment, Daji pulled Di Xin to sit in his arms, gently rubbed Di Xin's head a few times, and it didn't take long for a slight snoring sound to be heard. And Daji gently covered the man in his arms with a thin quilt, but the two lines of tears couldn't help but flow down...
I don't know how long it took, a stir in the arms of the person woke up Daji, Daji quickly rubbed a few times on Di Xin's broad arm, but his mouth was anxious and asked, "It's okay, it's okay, the king has a nightmare?" ”
Di Xin pressed his head in pain and took a few deep breaths, and said in a weak voice, "Yes, I dreamed of a sea of fire, which was slowly approaching me, and there was fire all around, so that I had nowhere to hide... ”
Daji's heart chuckled, could it be that human beings really dreamed of the moment when they were at the end of their rope? Thinking of the end of the person in her arms, Daji couldn't help but feel a little sadder in her heart.
The ice and snow gradually melted, the grass and trees began to sprout, and the arrival of spring should have made people happy, but all the people of Chaoge did not feel the joy, and the temperature in their hearts gradually became cold as the temperature rose, they knew that the Zhou State had occupied more than half of the country, and the remaining half, which was in the east of Chaoge. If the Zhou State wants to dominate the world, then this Chaoge is the biggest obstacle on the road to unification, once the Chaoge is lost, Jiang Ziya's army will drive straight in, all the way to the east and directly to the East China Sea.
Therefore, this battle is the ultimate battle that determines the belonging of the world.
For a whole winter, Daji has been asking for Di Xin's body excessively, and Da Ji knows very well in his heart that the current Chaoge is at the end of the road, so Daji very much wants to conceive the child of God Xin, a child that belongs to the two of them, and a child who can support the two of them in the future. But it's a pity, for some reason, Da Ji has also suffered a lot of rain and dew from Di Xin since he entered the palace for many years, but he has been flat in the abdomen and is not pregnant. If he had asked this question at the time, Hongjun would have told him that "shemales have different paths, and naturally there will be no offspring." ”
The ice on the river has melted, the snow on the ground has turned into water and merged into the river under the light of the warm spring sun, all kinds of animals have begun to forage from hibernation, and the buds of flowers and plants have grown taller and taller.
Different from Daji's thousands of thoughts, Di Xin is full of confidence in this war, and now Chaoge has 100,000 regular troops and 400,000 slave troops, which is ten times the 50,000 soldiers led by Jiang Ziya, such a huge disparity in troops, so that Di Xin has no reason to fail, and even in order not to let Chaoge suffer any losses, Di Xin put all the 500,000 troops in Muye west of Chaoge, trying to defeat Jiang Ziya's army here in one fell swoop.
