Chapter 167: Jiang Shang, who was down-and-out and committed suicide
Seeing the six people shocked and didn't know why, Hongjun just said with a smile
"Actually, I have some friendship with this Taishang Laojun, but now, he has some things he wants to ask a few people."
The few people on the opposite side hurriedly sat up straight, as if they were listening to the teachings.
"Remember those spatial gates we passed through that day for that cultivator conference? This Taishang Laojun is very interested in this kind of spell, but he is not easy to ask because of his identity, so I want to ask you... ”
The head Guangyuan hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Taishang Laojun is above, we will definitely live up to our mission, and try our best to learn this spell and hand it over to all the Sanqing Immortals."
The three of them had no choice but to nod their heads with a smile to deal with it, and Hongjun had already issued an order to Sauron, who was far away in the extremely cold land in the north, asking her to take people to study this wonderful space teleportation technology first, in fact, Hongjun's heart was very clear that whether it was technology or spells, in fact, they were all different ways of using energy, and their essence was the transformation and reorganization of energy.
And in Yindi, at this time, Emperor Yi looked at his queen with a complicated face, and the queen's face was already pear blossoms with rain, and she cried and said, "The king, it has always been the prince's woman who is dedicated to the king, but now, why should we sacrifice our daughter to a princely king?" The concubine couldn't figure it out, and her heart was uncomfortable. . . ”
Di Yi closed his eyes and sighed, and then said slowly, "Today's country... The war is raging, for many years, those princes in the east do not obey the discipline, although it has been slightly effective after many crusades, but it has not been completely resolved, and now, those princes in the west are also beginning to move, I will marry our daughter to Ji Chang's guy, and named him Xibohou, just to support him, let him resist possible rebellion in the future for us, this country really can't withstand the two-front battle, and there is no choice for loneliness"
"However, the king only needs to give him the title of Xibohou, why sacrifice our daughter?"
"This... Let Lone think again... ”
At this time, there was a commotion outside the door, Di Yi was displeased for a while, and wrote a glance at the attendant next to him, the man quickly bowed down and came outside to ask, and after a while, he came back and said, "Report to the king, the third prince wants to ask to see the king outside"
Di Yi's face softened slightly, "Let him come in", and the queen quickly wiped her tears, and then sat next to Di Yi.
Immediately, the third prince who was dressed in a military uniform with a long sword at his waist walked in heroically, knelt down on one knee and arched his hand and said, "See the father and the queen mother,"
The third prince was already tall, and he was wearing a military uniform, and he seemed to be very atmospheric, looking heroic and extraordinary, Di Yi felt that his youngest son had grown up, suppressed the joy in his heart, and asked with an impermanent face, "What happened?" ”
"Father, the child heard today that his father wants to marry his sister to Ji Chang, but is there such a thing?"
Di Yi frowned, and said impatiently, "I'm negotiating this matter with your queen mother, what's the matter?" What do you think? ”
The corners of the third prince's mouth twitched, and he shouted loudly, "Father, the retainer knows that you are helpless, but you can't sacrifice my sister for the benefit of the country."
"Presumptuous, this national affair is also something that a yellow-mouthed child like you can discuss, I hope that you will be sincere to your sister, this is my forgiveness for your innocence, go down"
The third prince stepped forward and said, "Father, the son does not have the right to participate in national affairs, but he knows a truth, the interests of this country, relying on the sacrifice of a woman can not be exchanged, only with the sword in our hands, the horse under the crotch, a sword to fight back, I know that the father is worried about the changes in the vassal states in the west to make this decision, the child is willing to carry the sword on the horse, lead the army to suppress those vassal states that are about to move, and make great contributions to my Great Shang Dynasty." ”
Di Yi was very relieved, Da Yue, and slapped the table in front of him hard, "Okay, it's really my Di Yi's son" Then his face darkened again, "It's just that the stakes are high, it's not something that you can solve with tens of thousands of soldiers, and this matter should be considered in the long run, but your mind, Father, I already know, you go and retreat with your heart."
The third prince was still about to argue, but the queen saw this and said, "Good boy, be obedient, go down first, your father and I will do everything."
The third prince stomped his foot hatefully, turned around and left in a hurry, and after he left, Di Yi smiled softly at the queen and said, "This son is good, even my heart"
The queen's face was still a little abrupt, and Di Yi said when she saw this, "Since our child is so imposing, then the matter of marrying a princess will be put on hold for the time being" Then he looked at the direction where the third prince left and said, "I believe that our son will have a way to solve it in the future... ”
Then the queen threw herself into Di Yi's arms with a wow.
A few days later, Ji Chang of the Zhou Department was named Xibohou and commanded all the vassal states in the entire West, and Ji Chang, who was originally looking forward to the title of son-in-law of the monarch, heard that it was the third prince who was disturbed by his own good deeds, and since then he has a grudge against Zishou, but it didn't take long for Ji Chang to find that the name of Xibohou just sounded majestic, and the exclusion and resistance from the large and small vassal states below made him begin to be overwhelmed, and then Ji Chang found out, Di Yi just relied on an empty name to make himself the target of the public among the Western princes, although it was somewhat a small gain, but compared with Di Yi's harvest it was far from it, and since then Ji Chang began to complain a lot about Di Yi's father and son, and also laid a far-reaching foreshadowing for the future.
In another place, known as Lu, a little old man who was close to fifty years old was being counted down by his wife.
"Jiang Shang, Jiang Shang, tell me about you, your ancestors have also been the officials of the four mountains, but now in your generation, you are so unambitious, you used to slaughter cattle and sell meat, and a good butcher let you do a good job, that beef is not sold as much as you eat yourself, and then you opened a tavern to sell wine, but you are drunk every day, people come in to buy wine, you can't wake up there, now you are fifty years old, we are not bitter, but our two children have not changed their clothes for three years, Tell me, why are you living so hard these days... ”
The little old man known as Jiang Shang was irritable for a while, picked up a wine gourd next to him and opened the stopper and poured it up, his wife picked up the broom and was about to beat him, the little old man slipped out of the door with a stride, came to the street and wandered leisurely, looking at the sun that had been slanting to the west a little sullen, shook the wine gourd in his hand, and found that there was not much left, so he came to a tavern next to him step by step, and took out a few small shellfish (the currency with a smaller face value of the Shang Dynasty) from his body and handed them to Xiao Er, the little second didn't give him a drink, just looked at a few Xiaobei in his hand and laughed, "Jiang Shangxiao'er, you still owe us a lot of wine money, that's all?" I'm afraid it's not even enough interest."
Jiang Shang smiled, put on a face that he thought was kind, and said to the shopkeeper, "Remember first, when you have money in the future, you will naturally pay it back to your family with interest, let's relieve your hunger first, ah?" Help, help, help."
Xiao Er shook his head helplessly, how to say that it is also from the villagers, and besides, this wine is not worth a few dollars, so he took the wine gourd and poured half a spoonful of the cheapest wine into it, and ignored him when he threw it at Jiang Shang in disgust, Jiang Shang lowered his head and laughed a few times before going out with the wine gourd. Jiang Shang was a little annoyed when he listened to his wife's nagging, so he came outside to hide quietly, but unexpectedly, everyone who came to pick up and saw him had to come forward and grope on him for a while, and his mouth was full of similar words: "Jiang Shangxiaoer, hurry up and pay back your uncle's money, say okay emergency, I haven't paid back the money for a few months, be careful that I will sell your baby to pay off the debt!" ”
Finally, when he met the seventh person, Jiang Shangwan cried out, like a child who was snatched away to play, extremely aggrieved and helpless in his heart, his Jiang family has been in Lu for hundreds of years, but now he has a noble side branch in the middle of the family, but the family has no way to open the pot, even the mother-in-law in the family is willing to marry this poor scholar because he was full of books and erudite when he was young, but there is no imperial examination at this time, and the way to be an official is hereditary, and the other is to recommend, This hereditary official position is not the turn of him, a nobody, in any case, and recommends. . . Forget it, in this dilapidated Lu Land, where will the powerful families come here, even the pigs in the family who are full of fat intestines have nowhere to place, how can they recommend him, a down-and-out old man who is not related to him.
Thinking that he has been diligent and studious since he was a child, studying various astronomical, geographical, and military strategies, and even slightly involved in the way of governing the country and the country, but he has no choice but to think that he has never met a talent, and he has been in such a situation for half his life, and he can't help but be a little disheartened. ”
The voice appeared again and again, and finally, Jiang Shang's body moved, and he was just about to take a step forward into the turbulent river, but in this life, just a second before he raised his foot, his shoulder was pulled.
Half an hour later, Jiang Shang sat listlessly in the best tavern in Ludi, ignoring all kinds of delicacies and wines on the table, and secretly glanced at the young man in front of him with his head down, that person was wearing a luxurious silk dress, and a jade hairpin on his head was obviously worth a lot, and the whole person looked extraordinary, graceful and luxurious, Jiang Shang didn't understand why such a young man who seemed to be either rich or expensive would rescue him and bring himself to such a luxurious place to eat and drink.
