Most of the princes arrived after Su Hu, just in charge of collecting and surrendering the rebels and cleaning up the battlefield.

And Ji Chang was standing aside and looking at the rebels with a solemn face, he was responsible for cleaning the battlefield at the north gate of the royal city, where the rebels actually died very little, most of them fell to their knees or passed out.

And this makes it even more terrifying how terrible the background of the Shang King is......

Although Xiqi is in the westernmost part, he is actually the earliest among the princes, even much earlier than Su Hu.

Because he has been full of ears and eyes in the court, and the rebels in this rebellion even have his people, so he is also very well informed.

The king of Shang is so terrifying!

King Shang must have known that Wei Ziqi was going to rebel, after all, he could know about it as far away as Xiqi, how could he not know? But he didn't do anything, and deliberately heard that Zhong and King Wucheng were out of the dynasty to give them a chance to rebel.

There is only one purpose, that is, to deter the princes, and by the way, to fish out the princes and kings like themselves who have long been disobedient, and kill them in one fell swoop.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt palpitations, just now Ji Chang had been struggling with whether to take advantage of the chaos to attack the city, if he hadn't reacted quickly enough to realize that it was impossible to disobey, I was afraid that the rebels lying and kneeling here would be his troops.

And he can only learn from Weizi Qi to apologize for his sins.

Ji Chang always thought that Zishou was just a puppet merchant king pushed out by the ministers in order to express their dissatisfaction with Wu Yisang's blood, after all, Zishou had not received a formal royal education since he was a child, and he had never been cultivated by the successor of the king, and he had no good name before he succeeded to the throne.

Even a few years before Wu Yi's death, Zishou was forcibly sent to the throne of the crown prince, isn't this kind of person sitting on the throne a puppet?

I didn't expect him to be so eloquent! Shang Rong, the head of the Wenchen, Huang Feihu, the head of the Wuchen, and Wen Zhong, the lonely minister, the one who is not controlled by him? There is no puppet at all.

"Hey." Ji Chang sighed, this is probably the most difficult generation of Shang Kings to deal with.

It's just that Xiqi invited to buy the hearts of the people, selected talents and talents, and has been strong for three generations, so how can he give up easily.

"I'm sorry, Dixin. Destiny is so unfortunate to me. ”

While thinking, Ji Chang looked at the Jinluan Palace.

......

The nine halls had not been so lively for a long time, and even though the Chaoge City had just experienced a sweeping rebellion, it was still dispersed by the New Year's Day celebration and the eight hundred princes who came to worship.

After all, how to deal with the prisoners of war must be discussed.

Except for the Wumen battlefield, which was turned into a meat grinder by Lu Bu alive, there were very few rebels killed in the other battlefields, and most of them were captured alive, and a total of tens of thousands of rebels were captured, which was almost half of the number of Chaoge's resident army, and it was really a trouble to deal with.

And Zishou took the initiative to bring up this matter and let the ministers and princes.

At this time, Song Kaiyuan, a small prince of the Song Dynasty, stepped forward and said; "Please make the prisoners of war a human martyr, accompany the burial of the soldiers who died in the war, comfort the souls of the soldiers in the sky, and show off the prestige of my great merchant army!"

Human martyrdom and human worship are both traditions in Dashang, but human martyrdom and human sacrifice are also different.

The martyrdom is generally the deceased who died, and the purpose is to make the deceased live better, so that the martyred person can go to the world of the deceased;

The beneficiaries of human animals are many gods of heaven and earth and ancestors of all generations, with the purpose of praying for the protection of the gods.

It was also human worship that was abolished before, not human martyrdom, which is also the reason why a small prince of Song Kaiyuan dared to openly touch the scales of Zi Shou in the court.

If you don't listen to me, it means that you are a faint monarch and a tyrant, and the Chaoge army will inevitably deviate from morality.

And if you listen to him?

You must know that the first person to claim the abolition of the system of human martyrdom was the father of Zishou, Emperor Yi who shot the sky with blood, and now many people spread rumors that Di Yi was killed by the thunder after the blood shot into the sky.

But in fact, it was because of the abolition of the cake that the princes and many nobles were martyred, and Emperor Yi did not have such a son to suffer such undue bravery, and finally faced a series of assassinations by assassins, and died of wound infection.

It's just that what Di Yi did was not meaningless, the number of martyrs in the territory of the Great Shang and all the princes in his reign of 26 years was gradually decreasing, and the commoners and slaves finally realized the problem with the full support of Di Yi.

Listening to his words, the people were martyred and the army was captured, and this precedent meant that Emperor Yi's thirty years of efforts had all come to naught, and their princes and nobles could open the martyrdom at will.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Song Kaiyuan, this little prince, actually had such a deep scheming, wasn't he afraid of angering the king of Shang?

However, Song Kaiyuan's plan was originally a yang scheme, he had no intention of blocking it, and there was no need to block it

And the son who sat on the seat laughed instead of being angry, and looked at the little prince with interest: "Don't the Marquis of Song know that I issued an order to abolish human worship a few months ago?" ”

Song Kaiyuan said: "The minister naturally knows, but human martyrdom is different from human worship, human martyrdom is to show off the prestige of my great merchant army, so that the deceased heroic soldiers can enjoy the status of nobility after death!" There are slaves to serve, so that everyone can be brave and take the lead. ”

"Since Song Hou said so, then Song Hou proposed that people be martyred, or is it better to be alone?"

"The ministers are brave and loyal, and whatever they think, what they say and play, they are naturally loyal to the country and the king! Please also ask the king to be martyred! ”

"Good, good!" Zishou laughed and said three good words in a row.

"King Gu will confirm with you again, does the Marquis of Song think that the martyrdom is for the good of my great business and for the good of my princes."

Song Kaiyuan heard the change in Shang Wang's tone, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he still said toughly: "That's the case!" Please also ask the king to be martyred! ”

"Good, since Song Hou is so loyal to the country, I will ask Song Hou to treat the soldiers who died in battle for Lonely." Zishou nodded again and again and waved his hand.

And the guards standing next to the palace of King Shang came with an order, slapped Song Kaiyuan unconscious with one palm, and were about to drag him to the altar.

At this time, Ji Chang couldn't stand still, and stepped forward and said: "Song Hou is just giving advice for the country, and I also ask the king to watch Song Hou be loyal and spare Song Hou's life." ”

"Lone has never said what crime he has committed, didn't Zhu Aiqing listen to Song Hou's speech that the martyrdom was for the sake of the great businessman and for the good of the Lone King, and the Lone King asked Song Hou to take the Lone King to work for the army, what's wrong?"

"What Song Hou said is to let slaves and prisoners of war sacrifice dead soldiers, Song Hou is a nobleman of the dynasty, all the way to the princes, how can he be the same as slaves and prisoners of war?"

"What's the difference?"

"Slaves and prisoners of war are the people of heaven's curse, and the Song Marquis is the descendant of the ancient kings.

"Destiny? Could the Heavenly Saints represent the Mandate of Heaven? Zishou asked.

Ji Chang didn't understand why He Zishou laughed, and replied: "The saint is in line with the Tao, has great merit and all the spirits of heaven and earth, and can represent the destiny of heaven. ”

Zishou waved his dragon robe, and a sword shining with colorful divine light was held up: "Can Uncle Ji recognize this sword?" ”

Xibohou bowed to the sword and said: "The minister naturally recognizes the Nuwa Divine Sword, and the Shang Wang Guo is the supreme of the human race who belongs to the Mandate of Heaven, and not only holds the Xuanyuan Sword of the Human Emperor, but also has the sword given by the Nuwa Sage." ”

Zishou couldn't help but smile and said: "This is not given to me, this sword was given to my brother Wei Ziqi by the saint, so that he could kill me, the faint king." ”

"If, according to what you said, my brother was given a sword by the saint himself, and the destiny of heaven returned, wouldn't it be easy to kill the widow and take the throne? Why did they fall? ”

Ji Chang was a little speechless, not that he didn't know how to refute, but he really didn't expect Zishou to disrespect the heavens and gods to such a point, and mocked the saint in front of the eight hundred princes: "This ......"

"It seems that Xibohou also agrees with what Gu said, come on, pull Song Hou to the altar to comfort my great merchant soldiers in the spirit of the sky!"

At this time, Song Kaiyuan woke up, struggled hard but couldn't break free from the shackles of the guards, and scolded loudly: "Our ancestors have made so many contributions to the human race, are those slaves comparable?" What did their ancestors contribute? Why should we be equal to them? A human king who violates the will of the human race is also worthy to be called a human king? ”

Zishou sneered: "Of course, nobles are people, are slaves, Li people, and ordinary people even if they are not human?" Lonely is the king of man, and the human race in the world should be treated equally! ”

"If you don't treat slaves as people, then don't blame the lone king for not treating you as people."

The flames burned Song Kaiyuan's body and slowly turned into dust.
