14 Fathers and sons in the temple Death and life in the spiritual mountain (2)

"Second Highness, summoning the poor Dao, what advice do you have here?" Jiang Shang put down the teacup with satisfaction, he didn't touch Ji Chang's tea just now, but he drank the fragrant tea that Ji Fa personally served, and he drank it very comfortably.

"Don't dare what the immortal chief said to his father just now, the juniors have heard that their father is old, and they are a little happy, if the immortal chief does not give up, the juniors hope to cooperate with the immortal chief!" Ji Fa said bluntly without making any detours.

"Oh, Second Highness, in fact, what the king said is right, peace and happiness are blessings, why should the people of Zhou be stable and enjoy peace?" Although Jiang Shang was moved, he wanted to know how determined this Second Highness was.

Sure enough, that Ji Fa was also a reasonable person, knowing that Jiang Shang was testing his knowledge, and said calmly: "The immortal chief only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other, and the Zhou Kingdom has never been peaceful! Dirong in the northwest of our country is everywhere, and every year the border and the major dangerous passes in the east are occupied by the Shang State, and there is always a danger of annihilation between the Shang and Rong! And since China has been practicing this policy of free trade between the four parties two hundred years ago, it is not just because it is open-minded, but in fact only in this way can the coveting of the four parties be alleviated and not become a stumbling block to the exchange of interests of the four parties! It can be said that since the founding of the Zhou State, there has been no time for peace, but it is precisely because of this peace that today's national strength has been achieved!"

Jiang Shang nodded again and again when he heard this, he has not lived in vain for more than seventy years, at least the strength and weakness of the Zhou State are real, he saw it very thoroughly, and then asked: "Second Highness is saying that the peace in front of him is from the restless happiness, →⌒ This is not bad! But since this is already the case, the Zhou State does not have the image of decay, why does His Highness want to attack the Central Plains? Could it be just for greed?"

"No! The Zhou State is sandwiched between the four directions, relying on hundreds of years of conquest to barely stand still, and it is not a long-term solution! These generations of Zhou kings can be regarded as making great efforts, and they only maintain the current situation, and if there are any changes in the country in the future, or if the king is not good, the country will be in danger! If the Zhou State wants to survive forever, it must seize the Central Plains, and if the country declines in the future, there will be room for retreat and relaxation......" Ji Fa talked eloquently, his spirit was flying, as if he had changed from an old man of fifty or sixty years old to a prime of life of twenty or thirty years old, and his ambition had not diminished in the slightest, and at this moment, the years seemed to be going backwards.

Jiang Shang looked at Ji Fa, who was more and more energetic the more he spoke, and sighed in his heart: What a poor child! Look at what kind of suffocation he has become! Old age and immortality are for the sake of demons, and this Ji Chang's longevity has unknowingly become the biggest hidden danger for the Western Zhou royal family! Ji Fa talked about the international situation to the internal struggle, from the internal struggle to the distribution of rights, from the distribution of rights to the use of talents, from the use of talents to the governance of the country and the country, and from the governance of the country and the state to the international situation...... foaming at the mouth, talking endlessly, he drank up two cups of tea for more than an hour before Jiang Shang accidentally took a nap and reluctantly ended this long talk on governing the country.

"Old Immortal Elder, Immortal Elder?!" Ji Fa reached out and gently pushed the sleepy-eyed Jiang Shang.

"Uh-huh...... You say, you say, I'll listen!" Jiang Shang rubbed his face and drank a large sip of tea, trying to cheer up.

"After the junior finished speaking, it's getting late, and it's no time to delay, how will the immortal chief decide?"

"Huh, that's it?...... The stakes are very high, Your Highness, can you tell me about this important matter again...... Just pick the main one!"

"Ahem......" Ji Fa cleared his throat, his face did not have a trace of unhappiness, as if he was accustomed to it, and still had a faint smile: "That's the case, if the old immortal can help me ascend to the throne, achieve the great wish of my life, and share the world equally with the immortal chief, I am willing to serve the teacher's religion as the state religion! ”

Jiang Shang understood that this kid was really anxious, but he happened to do it quickly, and it was no better: "Your Highness treats the poor Dao honestly, and naturally tells the poor Daoist sect that the poor Dao is scarce, but the strength of the poor Dao master, that is the senior brother of the Yuan Shi! The buddy of Pangu, who opened the world! Even the poor Dao, I hehe, it is also a rare opponent, don't look at the king, I can't see my cultivation, that is the mystery of this sect! In addition, does Your Highness know that the Shang Kingdom is in chaos?"

"Oh, the Shang Kingdom is in chaos, there is no news here, junior!" Ji Fa's eyes lit up again.

"Emperor Yi of Shangjun was killed by his son King Shou, King Shou has been enthroned, Emperor Xin reused Bigan, and the Huang family and the Beihou Chong family were implicated in the civil strife, and now Wen Zhong led the army to attack the Chong family, and the Huang family has been raided for three hundred years, and now the family will come to the West to invest in the poor road, and is about to introduce His Royal Highness to the ......"

"Emperor Yi was killed, the Huang family rebelled, Immortal Chang is real, why haven't I gotten the news yet?" Ji Fa's eyes widened at the boss with an expression of excitement and disbelief.

"Then is there a fake?!Why?

"Don't hide it from the immortal elders, there are two ears and eyes in the court of the Shang Kingdom, and those are Fei Zhong and You Hun who are named Fei Zhong and You Hun! Such important news is impossible for them not to pass on unless they betray me! It is the younger generation who has this question. ”

"Oh!oh!!hehe, look at my brain!" Jiang Shangzuo suddenly realized the case and said: "The matter of killing the monarch happened four days ago, the Huang family was copied, but the news of His Highness has not been delivered yesterday, of course, I don't know!"

Ji Faqi said: "How did the Immortal Chief know, and where is the Huang family?"

"The Huang family is just outside the city!haha, I didn't expect that they were brought over by the poor Dao Shi Xianshu, and the poor Dao was still singing yesterday............" Jiang Shang also opened the chatterbox, and explained the chaos of the Chaoge in the past few days, and the more Ji Fa listened, the more excited he became.

"Immortal Chief......! This is a great opportunity!I'm going to go to my father and ask for a word from the merchant!" he said, standing up.

"Your Highness!" Jiang Shang hurriedly stopped him, "If the king doesn't allow it, what should I do?"

"Alas...... Then I have to discuss it again......" Ji Fa said with a gloomy look in his eyes and helplessness.

Jiang Shang stood up with a smile, took out the jade pendant given to him by Lu Jian from his arms, handed it to Ji Fa, and said: "The prince has a relationship with the poor road, and this jade pendant was given to the prince, which has the effect of self-defense and evil spirit!"

Ji Fa took it and was about to thank him, and then heard Jiang Shang say: "There is a small apprentice named Wu Ji in the poor road, and now he is sent to the Nangong Mansion, please ask His Highness to recruit him by his side, so as to summon the poor road, and ...... It is not appropriate to discuss this matter with the king tonight! Poor Dao Shicai and the king have a misunderstanding, maybe the king is still blaming Poor Dao, if he hears that this news is from Poor Dao, he must not believe it here, but he has mistaken the matter! In this way, His Royal Highness sent a henchman to Nangong Mansion with Poor Dao to bring out Bukit, and then met General Huang's family outside the city, more than 300 people, verified the truth, and then brought Bukit to report back to His Highness, so that His Highness has the bottom in his heart, and Wu Ji is by His Royal Highness's side, and Poor Dao can also know the progress of things in time, okay?"

Ji Fa immediately nodded in agreement, and the two said goodbye. The little chamberlain who brought Jiang Shang to come was named Li Rong, who was Ji Fa's henchman. Led Jiang Shang out of the palace, Li Rong went into the Nangong Mansion with him, picked up Wu Ji, and quietly touched the forest thirty miles outside the city, and it was already late at night at this time. Everyone in the Huang family was looking forward to it, for fear that Jiang Shang would get rid of them.

After Jiang Shang and the Huang family converged, Li Rong's identity was introduced, and Li Rong went to talk to the Huang family, but Jiang Shang dragged Wu Ji to the side, and in a secluded place, he stuffed the baby mallet into Wu Ji's hand, explained the usage, and attached it to his ear, "so, so, so, so", and ordered to wait until Wu Ji nodded and understood, and then took Wu Ji to urge Li Rong to return to the palace earlier.

Li Rong didn't know the Huang family, but that kind of aristocratic demeanor and the bloody smell of the battlefield were absolutely true! After some talking, Li Rong was also a clever person, and affirmed that the Huang family was true, so he took Wu Ji back to the palace.

The Huang family had already set up a hidden camp in the nearby hills and dense forests for a hundred days, and Jiang Shang also stayed there all night without saying a word, sleeping with a confident smile on his face.

The next day, near noon, there was a sudden commotion in Qishan Castle, and at the same time, a light horse galloped out, and the knight was Bukit.

Outside the mountains and forests, Jiang Shang had been waiting for him for a long time, Wu Ji didn't say a word, galloped closer, lifted Jiang Shang and put it on the horse, turned the horse's head and ran towards Qishan City.

Qishan City was shrouded in mourning clouds, and a shocking news came out: Lao Wang is here!

As soon as the news came out, the people who heard it couldn't believe it, and even angrily accused the messenger of spreading rumors, and for a time hundreds of people were dragged to the government, but ...... Unfortunately, what these defendants said was true. People began to cry, and the vibrant Qishan City became lifeless in an instant. Ji Chang has reigned for more than 50 years, which can be said to be a real rule of inaction. In the past 50 years, he has not built a single cent of taxes for the enjoyment of civil engineering, nor has he taken the initiative to conquer other countries. In the past 50 years, it can really be said that they have lived and worked in peace and contentment, even if foreign enemies continue to be repulsed. And as soon as Ji Chang died, people couldn't help but panic in their hearts, will the next king bring them happiness?

Soon, the cause of the king's death leaked out, but it added to the sorrow, and it was not only the king who died, but also the eldest prince Bo Yi Kao. Things happened suddenly and strangely, in the morning, the king and the eldest prince Bo Yi Kao, the second prince Ji Fa were discussing in the house, who knew that the whole room collapsed, the king and the eldest prince were killed by the roof on the spot, and the second prince was buried under the rubble, and he was also seriously injured, which seems to be ...... It was just a sad accident......

Wu Ji took Jiang Shang to gallop into Qishan City at full speed, carrying loess and smoke and dust, until he was in front of the second prince's mansion on the west side of the palace, he reined in the reins, got off the horse, and helped the dizzy Jiang Shang into the mansion with his backhand.
