By the time I returned to Luoyi, it was almost New Year (1046 B.C.). However, there is not much festive atmosphere in the city.

When he entered his temporary house, he saw that the attendants and servants were all dressed in vegetarian clothes. The temple has been placed on the spiritual seat of Bigan. Mother and Jinzha and Muzha bowed to the ground.

After the prayer, I cried with my mother. Then he pulled Mu Zha into the flower hall at the back, "Second brother, what happened to my grandfather?" I asked.

Mu Zha looked at me with a slightly hesitant expression, "My grandfather was killed by a traitor. In this year's battle of Dongyi, Yin Shang lost his troops and lost his generals. coincided with the ravages of natural disasters, and there were many complaints from the government and the opposition. ”

"My grandfather, Prince Miko, and Prince Weizi repeatedly wrote to advise the king to temporarily withdraw the army in order to recuperate. However, the king ignored the admonition and insisted on increasing his troops. And a month ago, 100 children of the nobles of Dongyi sacrificed to the sky. ”

"Huh?" When I heard the word "worship to the sky", I couldn't help but feel excited. "Who did you kill?"

Muzha let out a sigh of relief. "I think there are some of them that you should recognize. The six sons and three sons of the Huaiyi tribes, the three sons of Xu Yi, and the two sons of Laiyi were all stripped of their limbs. Your classmate in Dongying, Princess Xu Huan, was shaved off her whole body and exhausted her internal organs......"

I gasped and shuddered. When she was in Dongying, Xu Huan, who had always been squeamish, would end up with such a tragic ending.

"Because my grandfather witnessed your tragic death on the altar, he insisted on dissuading you and angered the king. And Fei Zhong, Fei Lian, Lei Kai and other important ministers with foreign surnames took the opportunity to falsely accuse their grandfather of forming a party with Jizi and Weizi for personal gain, and plotting to usurp the throne. ”

The king listened to their slander and immediately sent his grandfather to prison. Weizi forgave and was demoted and reduced to the people. Miko pretended to be crazy and was still in captivity. And my grandfather still insisted on writing a letter of advice, and finally the king was furious, and he ordered my grandfather to be disemboweled, and his heart was cut out to sacrifice to heaven......"

I closed my eyes. I don't keep much of the memories of my previous life, but I know how he died. And I never thought about doing anything. But what can I do? Can I stop it? It's destiny!

I didn't stay at home for long, but went to Jiang Shang's. On the way, I found many convoys and flags of the vassal states. Dozens of princes such as Hou Shun, Deng Hou Xiu, Yu Hou (Bei Yu), Rui Hou, and Cheng Hou seem to have come to Luoyi. It seems that action is really coming.

When he entered Jiang Shang's mansion, he saw that Jiang Shang had just come back from outside. Nangong Shi, Lu Ding, San Yisheng and others all followed him.

He saw me, "Nezha, are you back?" Come on in! ”

In the main hall, we sat separately. Jiang Shang asked me: "Nezha, you already know about Prince Bigan, right?" ”

"Hmm." I replied, and was about to ask him about King Wu, but he asked me first: "Nezha, did you see anyone in Xiqi?" ”

How can he be so well-informed?

I replied honestly: "I'm going to visit Yuluo's mother and son." When he said goodbye to Brother Nine the next day, he happened to meet Yu Zhong and Uncle Boyi to meet Brother Jiu. ”

"Oh?" Jiang Shang narrowed his eyes, "What did they say?" ”

I repeated what I heard in Xiqi to several people. When the four of them heard this, they all smiled on their faces.

I asked Jiang Shang: "Uncle Shi, did Zhou really give more than half of the tax to Yin Shang to attack Dongyi?" ”

Jiang Shang smiled, "What?" Do you doubt it? ”

I looked at him, not knowing what to answer.

Jiang Shang continued: "At least that's what King Su asked. ”

I was even more skeptical, "Then we'll say yes?" ”

"What if you don't agree?" Jiang Shang asked rhetorically, "Otherwise, how would the King of Xuan believe us?" ”

San Yisheng looked at me with a smile, "Princess, alas! I'm still used to calling you princess. Not only to make the king believe, but also to let our people believe. It has to be believed by everyone. That's why the use of nursing homes has been reduced. ”

"Of course," Nangong Shi continued, "not all of this money was sent to Chaoge. Part for our own army. But this part of the tax can also be said to be used for the levy of the east. Because we will soon send troops for the second time to help Shang conquer Dongyi. ”
