Chapter XXIII
In the land of Kyushu in the world, there are princes guarding each other, of which four people are headed, namely Jiang Huanchu of the East Bohou, Ji Chang of the West Bohou, Chonghou Hu of the North Bohou, and E Chongyu of the South Bohou.
The four princes each became a country, the marquis was hereditary, and the heir could be selected by himself, and the degree of freedom in handling political affairs was extremely high. The Shang kings of the past dynasties may have been constrained by the princes of all parties, but because the world attaches great importance to the word "orthodoxy", fortunately no one has ever dared to rebel, so for many years the inner court and the outer court have barely been at peace, but there was such an old incident a few decades ago, when the Xibohou was still Ji Chang's father Ji Li, Ji Li worked hard to govern the surrounding Xirong country, and after achieving brilliant results, the national strength was strong, and the border was constantly expanded, which finally aroused the suspicion of Emperor Xin's grandfather, the father of Abican Shang Wang Wending. First vigorously rewarded the season calendar, and then took advantage of his presence in Chaoge, he designed to kill him, and after the news was transmitted back to Xiqi, Ji Chang took the throne in the year of his establishment and became the current Xibohou.
The power of the princes is too strong, which is not a good thing for the Shang Dynasty in the court. Zishou, who is not very old but has been thinking about this matter for many years, asked his father for a decree two years ago when he was still King Shou, and summoned Jiang Yi, the daughter of Jiang Huan Chu, the Marquis of Dongbo, to enter the palace and become Princess Shou. At that time, he was still the son of King Shou, naturally not only because he had received a secret letter from the old man Chu Tuan, saying that the Jiang family had a girl who had just grown up, and her muscles and bones were beautiful, so she coveted beauty and wanted to name Jiang Yi, who she didn't know, into the palace, but also saved the mind of Jiang Huan Chu, who was the second most powerful in balancing the princes.
However, with the old fox "beautiful bearded prince" Jiang Huanchu's city government, there is no doubt that he knows this kind of imperial mental skills, but King Shou is extraordinary, he has the power to change the joist when he is young, and he is full of reading strategies, full of talent and learning, and the government and the opposition have heard of it. He is also happy to push the boat along the river and be a free countryman. What's more, later Zishou and Jiang Yi were extremely affectionate, and his beloved daughter, who had been in poor health since she was a child and had been sick all year round, was able to worship under the door of that "Mr. Wu" and enter the path of cultivation, and now she has become a god and cultivated, which makes him feel that his decision is extremely correct.
Southern E Chongyu has a conservative and steady temperament, and there are 100,000 mountains in the southern barbarian land, and there are countless barbarians inside, E Chongyu has always been unbearable, and he is even more powerless and has no intention of rebelling. As for the Northern Bohou Chonghou Hu, he has always regarded himself as a lackey under his command, and he is the most loyal, not to mention that Taishi Wenzhong sits in Beimang all the year round, and the northern vassal states are even more stable.
The only thing left is this Xibo Hou Jichang, who has a deep hatred with Yin Shang.
Ji Chang now knows the year of the destiny of heaven, his gas is extraordinary, and his Shenhua is introverted. He himself has no talent for cultivation, but he has been the lord of a country for many years, even if he is under the roof of people at this time, he has to bow his head slightly, and he has a compelling momentum. What's more, the Xiqi Ji family has always been proficient in innate numbers, and his father Ji Li and his mother Taijiang are all masters of deducing easy numbers. He himself is a great achiever, and he has studied the three books of change in ancient times, "Lianshan", "Guizang" and "Qiankun". If he dares to claim the second in the world, I am afraid that no one dares to call him the first. Such a name casts a veil of mystery over this famous lord of Xiqi.
After Wen Ding killed Ji Li, he wanted to support a puppet Xibohou to ascend to the throne, but before Ji Li went to Chaoge, he calculated that he was more than lucky, and left a will, and declared Ji Chang's orthodox status in China. The choice of heirs by the lords of the vassal states is an iron law for the feudal princes, and even the Shang king, who is the co-lord of the princes of the world, is difficult to shake, not to mention that even the priest line must prevent him from changing the law of the ancestors. Wen Ding had no choice but to do it, seeing that Ji Chang, whose reputation was not obvious at that time, but there was already a secret spy report containing a good name and ambition that seemed to be no less than that of his father, became the lord of the country.
When Emperor Yi was in power, he didn't think about doing it to Ji Chang again, but the last Xibohou died in Chaoge, although An's was a name for dying of illness, but the people of the world are not fools, if the two Xibohou died in Chaoge, not to mention that Xiqi will be turbulent, just the mouth of the people in the world can not be blocked. As long as Xiqi sells a little miserably and creates public opinion, the matter will become that two generations of Xibohou have opened up territory for your Shang king, and after the expansion of the national border, it is such a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey?
Among them, Emperor Yi of Shang knew what to do, but he had nothing to do, so he could only let Ji Chang run the vassal states silently, recuperate little by little, and digest the captives and horses brought by the frontier. Di Yi also sent the general Tao Nan to the west to defend the border, but the talented archer had bad intentions, not only could not check and balance Ji Chang, but sent a spy report that the two had a good relationship, which is where Di Yi's acquaintance is unknown. As for sending assassins to assassinate, it is not that the two generations of Shang kings have not done it, but Xiqi has been built into a subway barrel, not to mention that people who study art have the nature to seek good fortune and avoid evil, and there are people in the middle of the court who have profound mana in the middle of the road, and they can't succeed at all.
The so-called raising tigers is talking about today's Yin Shang and Xiqi, in Di Xin's opinion, either his grandfather will kill all the Ji Li lineages and pick one person from the marginal bloodline to succeed him. Either he shouldn't kill Ji Li, take Huairou means to limit Xiqi's development little by little, and then find another opportunity to slaughter the talented ones among his heirs, so as to prevent future troubles. Otherwise, I went to a seasonal calendar, and came a more virtuous Ji Chang who still hated the big businessman because of it, wouldn't he lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot?
For His Holiness, he has never spoken these words to others, but in the past year, he has taken a series of measures, such as restricting the entry of salt from the east to the west and restricting the transportation of grain and grass, all of which are secretly adopted and can be regarded as a conspiracy. Today, the DPRK and China are talking and laughing and sending their confidant Yao Gao to Xiqi, which is a real conspiracy. Since you Xiqi like to expand the border, then Gu will place 100,000 troops in your rear on the grounds of helping you expand the border. If you are dedicated to my business, naturally these 100,000 people will help you quell the rebellion against Xirong, if you have two hearts?
The hussar general, who had the heaviest military power among the seventy-seven forty-nine general ranks of the Great Shang, was not something that the middle-aged man with a scar on his face in front of the palace could get by being deeply favored by the saints.
Yao Gao once killed 100,000 barbarians in southern Xinjiang!
So far, it is rumored in southern Xinjiang that the name of Yao Gao can stop children crying at night.
Yao Gao joined the army as a civilian at the age of fifteen, from Dongyi to Beimang to Nanban, and then returned to Chaoge to defend Gyeonggi, and fought countless battles large and small. Climbing up from the bottom of the army, he has a natural sensitivity to the battle situation, combining soldiers with odd and odd use, and often breaking the traditional way of thinking. The army is strictly governed, the most important morale, and it does not hesitate to fight to the death!
In the military system of the DPRK and China, 12,500 military commanders are doctors, 2,500 division commanders are doctors, 500 brigade commanders are doctors, 100 commanders are sergeants, 50 are sergeants, and 5 are corporals.
At that time, it was only a corporal of 500 people, Yao Gao, who once fought to the death with 500 armor soldiers against 2,000 people of the Nanban royal family's personal guard "Canghu Guard"!
After the war, only 32 of the 500 armor soldiers remained, and all of them were seriously wounded and did not retreat.
The "Canghu Guard", known as the strongest combat power in the Southern Barbarians, had 2,000 people, 1,060 killed, and 400 escaped.
Yao Gao, who broke through to the Refining Void Realm in that bloody battle, spent five years to become the master of the 10,000 Jiashi under his command, and his cultivation has been stagnant at the peak of the Refining Void Realm for five years, and he cannot advance an inch.
It wasn't until he came to Chaoge that he saw Di Xin, who had just entered the earth immortal, and the gray clothes on the top of Yunmeng Mountain, and got a copy of "The Yellow Emperor's Yin Fu Sutra".
Chaowen said,
Mahayana at night.
Now he is an invincible opponent under the immortals, and teaching the "Yellow Emperor Yin Fu Sutra" in the army has made countless warriors break through the threshold, so Yao Gao, who is chasing after Taishi Wen Zhong, has long of prestige, knelt down on one knee in front of Zi Shou, hugged his right fist with his left hand on his chest and said in a deep voice: "Minister, thank you Your Majesty Longen!"
In today's court, except for the pair of imperial relatives who trust and support each other, they are cited as an outlier by many courtiers. Yao Gao, the "hussar general" who is now faintly the first person in the army, is the most eye-catching.
There is no other reason, whether the big businessmen are officials or military generals, they are the most important inheritance, and the difference between the noble and the low is very clear. As a slave who is a sinner or captured by the enemy, he has the lowest status, and he can not get rid of his slavery for almost his whole life, and can only do the lowest and most tiring work. Although most of the courtiers did not want those subordinates to become commoners, and even theoretically could have an equal day with them, they knew that His Majesty's move would be beneficial and harmless.
The second is the difference between commoners and nobles, among the courtiers, who did not have a few fathers and ancestors who had been high-ranking officials, and whose ancestors had not established immortal feats for the great merchants? There were very few officials who were truly born as commoners and could reach the center of the court, and Yao Gao was an outlier.
His Majesty's exceptional promotion was to open the door for civilians to enter the government? The courtiers with a heart muttered in their hearts.
"Ji Hou, Lone entrusts my love to you, and I take care of it a lot. Di Xin said with a smile undiminished.
Ji Chang, who had been keeping his head down, finally raised his head, glanced at the young king, and said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty and Yao Shuai can rest assured. ”
