After more than ten days, the remaining Quartet Bohou came one after another, and there were more people outside the city.

Suddenly, one day, a summons came from the palace, but the day of sacrifice had arrived.

Chonghei Tiger Su Quanzhong and other princes, brothers, sons and nephews ordered people to carry the gift of worship, and followed the summons official into the court song.

Palace.

Under the service of everyone, Di Xin put on the sacrificial clothes and stepped out of the Shouxian Palace with his head held high, which not only indicated that he would truly become the co-master of the world, but also the first step of his reform.

I saw Emperor Xin walking in a tiger step, Zhang Liang and other trusted ministers to serve left and right, out of the palace, to the shrine.

"How's the gentleman preparing?"

Although he asked Zhang Liang beside him, Di Xin did not squint, held his head high, and did have the appearance of an emperor.

Zhang Liang arched his hand and said: "The king is at ease, he has been prepared." ”

Di Xin nodded and said no more.

When everyone came to the altar, they saw that on the altar, the fire was raging, and there were hundreds of numb slaves kneeling around, including old and young, men and women.

Under the altar are the princes, kings and nobles who came to worship.

"King"

"King"

“.”

As Di Xin ascended the platform, the princes and officials knelt down and shouted, like a landslide and tsunami.

And Zhang Liang, who was left in the audience, glanced at Huang Feihu, who was leading the forbidden army in the distance, Huang Feihu nodded in understanding, and whispered a few words to the generals beside him.

Several people bowed their heads and bowed their hands, received the military order, and then withdrew, just when Di Xin ascended the altar, took the feather of the Xuanniao from the hands of the great witch, and inserted it on the crown.

Suddenly, a group of slaves came from nowhere and rushed to the stage and cried bitterly.

Shang Rong was taken aback, and was about to order the people to be driven away, but saw that Di Xin had already turned around and asked the audience:

"Today, the lonely king sacrifices to the ancestors and ghosts of heaven and earth, who else dares to collide?"

The slaves below were gossiping and noisy, so they naturally couldn't say it clearly, but they didn't need to say it, I saw Zhang Liang get up and take a step forward, and replied in a loud voice:

"King Qiqi, these are the families of the people who sacrificed today, because of the mourning for the family, so they lost their temper, I hope the king will forgive."

When Di Xin heard this, he pretended to be sentimental and lamented:

"Smell the germination of all things in the world, and there is no death. The sorrow of heaven and earth for the dead, the sorrow of things, ridicule can be sad! Lonely today I heard the father and son of the mourning people, the sad sigh of the mother and daughter, and the things hurt their kind, and I felt the same way.

Today, relying on the spirit of heaven and earth, the blessing of the community, the peace within the party, the military revolution, the lonely thought, who has no father, who has no son, should take three animals and five animals and sacrifice for others.

Today, the lonely world is extremely strong, the first order: the gift of the abolition of the martyrdom is replaced by jade and terracotta figurines, and the ritual of the abolition of the sacrifice is replaced by three animals and five animals. ”

As soon as Di Xin's words fell, the princes and officials below exploded.

"The King." I saw Shang Rong immediately get up, and shouted with a fierce face: "The ritual of martyrdom and sacrifice has existed in ancient times, is the king going to abandon his ancestors and be delusional?" ”

Among the hundreds of officials and princes, there were many who nodded in agreement, believing that Emperor Xin should not turn his back on the sacrifices of ancestors and ghosts and gods.

"The words of the prime minister are heavy, the king just abolished human sacrifice, why did you become a ghost who did not sacrifice to your ancestors? Could it be that Shang Xiang is old and dizzy? ”

The person who spoke out had a righteous face and an excellent face.

Shang Rong was furious in his heart, turned his head and scolded angrily:

"Fei Zhong, how can there be a place to speak, come and drag down this troubled person."

At this moment, another person got up and said to Shang Rong:

"The merchant minister is so majestic, but he actually regards the king as nothing, do you want to suppress the king?"

Seeing such a battle between kings, many princes looked at each other, and Shang Rong was also shocked when he was deducted by You Hun, and hurriedly went to see Di Xin.

But seeing that Di Xin's face was as heavy as water, he didn't expect that just abolishing a human sacrifice would make Shang Rong oppose it like this, which strengthened the decision to take down Shang Rong, with this person, he couldn't carry out any reforms.

Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more dangerous, and if it was not good, there would be a sword battle, Xibo Hou Jichang hurriedly came out to play a round and said:

"The king is just young and promising, and his heart is kind, and the merchant is indeed serious."

As he spoke, he hurriedly hinted to Shang Rong to look around, Shang Rong looked at it, and his heart was shocked and sad, but it was the big merchant generals who were guarding around the shrine, and many of them had already drawn out their blades, and their faces were murderous, so they waited for Di Xin's order.

At this time, the princes of the Quartet also saw this scene, and they couldn't care about their dissatisfaction with Di Xin's abolition of human sacrifice, persuaded Shang Rong to persuade Shang Rong, and patted Di Xin's benevolent sycophants, just begging to pass this pass first.

It's all nurseries who come with mouths, and once they get up with a knife, who knows if they will kill the red eyes and cause any damage.

Shang Rong sighed, he likes power, but he is also sincere for Dashang.

The reason why Chengtang won the world is that Xia Wei is tyrannical, and secondly, Chengtang is famous for his virtue in the world, and all the princes are convinced.

Kecheng Tang Foundation has gone through thirty emperors, among which there are naturally virtuous people, but there are also faint and mediocre people, and now the princes are strong, the reason why no one dares to oppose is that the emperor and B have compromised in many ways, and secondly, the most important thing is the sacredness of the co-owners of the great merchants.

The major events of the country are sacrificed in Rong.

Now that Di Xin changed the ritual of sacrifice, it was tantamount to challenging the divine power and destroying his foundation, and he couldn't think of why Di Xin did this.

Shang Rong was full of energy, and most of it went in an instant, and the little old man, who was originally full of energy, immediately became a real old man who seemed to be about to fall down at any time.

Still on the side, Ji Chang's eyes were sharp, and he hurriedly supported Shang Rong, so he didn't let him fall.

"The old minister has served the big merchant for three generations, and now he is really old, so the minister asks to resign and return to the fief to retire, and I hope the king will allow it."

Shang Rong broke free from Ji Chang's support and saluted Di Xin, who was standing on the altar, pressing the sword in his hand, and carrying the golden crow.

"Why is Shang Gong here?"

Hearing Shang Rongqing's words, Ji Chang was surprised.

Shang Rong shook his head slightly, squinted at the famous Ji Chang, and said nothing, but there was a trace of murderous aura in the depths of his eyes.

Di Xin was also a little caught off guard by Shang Rong's move, but this emperor looked young, but he had decades of life memories of another Di Xin, although most of them were erotic content, but the emperor's mental skills, etc., were still not comparable to ordinary emperors.

Not to mention the chat group of the Heavenly Emperors given to him by the sect leader, open his eyes.

Di Xin did not agree immediately, but opened his mouth to keep sincerely, but Shang Rong was already disheartened and asked to resign again, so three times, so that all the officials and princes saw his respect for the old ministers, Di Xin sighed:

"That's it! Shang Gong has worked hard all his life, and it is indeed time to tease his grandson. ”

Say it! Di Xin immediately began to make an order:

"Taiyin Shangrong, high merit and virtue, dedication to business, now the Marquis of Qingzhou, add 3,000 quintals, give a banquet to the Qingdian Palace, three days later, the civil and military send-off, let Qingrong return to his hometown."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

[The record of the abolition of human sacrifice by the king of Zhou, there is no evidence, but a statement that has appeared in recent years, probably from a sentence in the "Pastoral Oath", "fainting and wanton worship Buddha answer", and then I don't know when, it became against the sacrifice of living people, everyone is benevolent and wise!

The original text of the abolition of human sacrifice here is based on the content of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty's abolition of human martyrdom, because there was a chat group of the emperors of the heavens before, which is reasonable. 】
