"Thinking back to the past when King Yu divided Kyushu, the east gradually in the sea, the west was in the quicksand, Shuonan Ji, and the sound of teaching in the four seas. But in just a few decades, Dongyi entered the summer, Kyushu subverted, and the enemy was in all directions, although the Yu clan and the Xia Hou clan merged into Zhuxia to help Shaokang Zhongxing, but after all, it was difficult to return to the rule of King Yu. ”

"After the ancestor became Tang Daixia and was called the Emperor of Heaven, the surname Shang was called Tianyi Shang. However, there are not many enemies in the Quartet, and even in the land of Bashu, there are new enemies. The Shang clan has been in turmoil for hundreds of years, and the land of Kyushu has been occupied by many enemies. The civilization of Zhuxia is almost precarious. ”

"When Yu Chu was born, it was the prosperous era of Yin Shang opened up by the ancestor Wu Ding, and Zhuxia finally had a resurgence trend, and the barbarians from all directions were afraid of my Yin Shang and military might. Later, when the two first emperors Zujia and Gengding, regardless of the Rongdi barbarians, they all rebelled. The two emperors have been fighting for decades, but the barbarians are getting stronger and stronger, and they are asking for more and more. ”

"At the beginning of the emperor's throne, he told the ancestors in the temple that he would spend his whole life to extinguish the four razors, and this is the first wish. ”

Ji Kao thought slightly, looked at the cormorant in front of him, his expression was arrogant and unyielding, and he looked around, and he bowed his hand slightly.

Extinguish the four razors and rejuvenate the summers, this first wish is also.

"It is right that the gods protect humanity and that the human race worships the gods. Even when the ancient emperors ruled the world, they only said that they were Jedi and heavenly, and they did not cut off the words of divine worship. ”

"My son's surname is Shang, and he obtained the mandate of heaven from the hands of the Xia Hou clan, and the Xia Hou clan worships the mandate, and my Shang clan worships God, hoping to worship God to get the mandate of heaven. However, since Gaozu became a soup, for nearly 500 years, the great rivers have flooded, and the gods have never been of great use. Whenever there is a crisis, it is the Xuanniao clan who helps. In this way, the people of my Yin business, and even the people in the imperial family, still have to make offerings to witches. ”

"These witch blessings, without the size of the outside, have no benevolence on the inside, live in the witch temple, in the name of the gods, coax the emperor, bully the people. In doing so, the first emperor even listened to it, and almost helped his generation to build the so-called witch cult. The collapse of the first emperor's middle way is both unfortunate and fortunate. Since his accession to the throne, he has not worshiped Wu Zhu as the emperor, in order to get rid of Wu Zhu's power, and even more regardless of the obstruction of the clan, he moved from Yin Nan to Yu Yuan, which is to eliminate the way of Wu Zhu. ”

"Now that the sin is built, the Qi refiners of the world are willing to conspire with each other to expel Wu Zhu from the Xia State, and this second wish is also. ”

Ji Kao is another hand, this majesty wishes so, he has nothing to say, only respect. No wonder he said that his great-grandfather had the same wish as him, and that was here.

Expelling Wu Zhu to calm the people, this second wish also.

Then, Ji Kao looked at the divine bird in front of him, or the Shang Emperor Wuyi, who had manifested through the divine bird, was waiting for his third wish.

Who knows, Emperor Shang just said cautiously: "This third wish, you can't say it, you can't say it, and if you say it, there will be a big change." ”

Ji Kao said deeply: "Ping Siyi, absolute witch wishes, Your Majesty's second wish, it will be deafening, so that Kao's heart trembles, and he can only be admired." Although this third vow is not to be heard, it can be imagined that it will be extraordinary. Although he is not talented in the test, although Ji Zhou is weak, he is willing to drive for His Majesty. ”

Ji Kao believes that whether it is his grandfather or father, he will gladly obey after listening to Wu Yi's wish. Therefore, he directly said that Ji Zhou was willing to drive.

For the emperors of Yin Shang, he is only familiar with Cheng Tang of Dai Xia, Taijia who was exiled by Yi Yin and re-ascended to the throne, Pan Geng who moved to Yin, Wu Ding of Zhongxing, and Shou Xin, who was finally defeated by his younger brother.

His Majesty, he was not impressed at all. It stands to reason that a Shang emperor like him shouldn't leave a reputation in the history books.

Just as Ji Kao was pondering, Wu Yi smiled and said, "Regarding Ji Zhou's affairs, I will send an envoy to the west to order your grandfather Ji Li." But here you are, but there are two little things that you need to do. ”

"Your Majesty will tell you that. ”

"The first and most important thing. The martial arts you have opened up are very important, or they may be of great help to my three wishes. Now in Taizhong, most of the gods and real people have gone to the border of the four directions, mainly in the war with Dongyi. When the Dongyi War ended, it was the time to jointly improve the martial arts in Sin Yutai. Now that you have stepped into the door of cultivating Qi Refining, it is very good, I will give you all kinds of methods of Qi refining, you observe the Fa and test the Fa, and first sort out some clues about the method of guidance for all Qi refiners to discuss. ”

"Martial arts were created for you, and you are in the realm of qi elicitation and nourishment, no one is more suitable than you. ”

Ji Kao nodded and said, "This solid test is also what I want." ”

Being able to observe the various methods of refining qi given by Emperor Shang can not only help him study the method of guidance, but also help him open up a new way of refining qi, which is a good thing that cannot be sought, and Ji Kao naturally agreed again and again.

"This second thing requires you to show favor to Wuzhu when you meet tomorrow. Even for this, you must be punished by me. ”

"Your Majesty will tell you that. ”

For some reason, when Ji Kao heard Wu Yi's order, he always felt a little numb in his scalp, and felt that His Majesty was planning the overall situation.

"There is nothing to order, tomorrow Yu will be condemned to Taizhu, you can just act when you have the opportunity. ”

After saying that, the divine bird rose into the air, chirped softly, and disappeared into Ji Kao's quiet room.

Only Ji Kao was the only one who was still thinking about Wu Yi's plan. After thinking about it for a while, he gave up, his strength was insufficient, and he was not familiar with the situation, so he could only do it.

······

Before dawn the next day, Ji Kao finished refining qi, and the sergeant behind him, holding down the twelve Zhai kings, came to the gate of the Imperial Palace of Qiyi early and waited, waiting for the time for the court meeting.

The ministers see the king for the court, and the king sees the ministers for the meeting, which is collectively called the court meeting.

At the time of the Xia Hou clan, the court meeting was often at night. When the soup is extinguished, the soup is corrected, the color is easy to wear, it is still white, and the court will be daylight.

It is the beginning of the year, Shuo is the beginning of the month, when the summer queen, there is a summer calendar, the second month after the winter solstice is the first month, and the color of the dress is still black. Cheng Tang Dai Xia, the Xia Dynasty December is the first month, that is, one month in advance, and the color of the clothes is still white.

Correcting Shuo and changing colors is also the right principle of the rise and fall of dynasties.

In the future, when the Zhou people were called the Son of Heaven, they were advanced by another month, that is, in the November of the summer calendar, and the color was still red.

The Qin people unified Liuhe, and the system of the emperor was called one month earlier, with the summer calendar October as the positive, and the color of the clothes was still black.

Qin II died, at the beginning of the Han Dynasty with the Qin system, did not correct the month, until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, re-set the Zhengshuo, with the first month of Xia as the positive, the color of the clothes is still red and black, and the four seasons and five colors are mixed.

Since then, the Chinese emperors, except for the female emperor and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, have basically only changed the color of the year name, and there is rarely a tradition of correcting the month. It is the time of the future, the beginning of the year, and it has always been the system of the Xia Hou clan.

The so-called first month of the lunar calendar in later generations is actually the first month of the summer calendar.

Of course, the New Moon is constantly changing with the progress of the calendar, and all dynasties have new calendars to promote farming.

At the time of the Xia Hou clan, Tianming was the dawn, but Tianming was easily affected by celestial phenomena. Therefore, it became a soup for summer, with the rooster song as the key, although the chicken song is better than the human eye, in fact, it is not very accurate.

By the time of the Zhou people, the level of observing the heavens was higher, and it was decided in the middle of the night.

While Ji Kao was standing outside the palace gate and waiting, many Yin Shang officials also came one after another.

He didn't know any of them, and he didn't know the situation, so he didn't rush over to say hello. And the officials of Yin Shang naturally will not take the initiative to greet him, a junior.

So, he stood at the palace gate, breathed silently, and began to refine qi.

The people next to him thought he was dozing off, and they couldn't help laughing. The morning meeting is so early, it is really not suitable for children.

Seeing the twelve prisoners next to Ji Kao, they were quite curious, and kept inquiring about each other's news. But there are officials with ears and eyes, who know

Whoop!

The sound of roosters sounded, and then the palace gate opened, and all the officials who were waiting outside began to rush in.

Ji Kao walked at the back, and when he went to the court, he also stood at the back of everyone.

······

"Is the envoy of Ji Zhou here? stand up and let Yu see. ”

At the court meeting, everyone was standing, and the only one who was sitting, or kneeling, was Emperor Wu Yi of Shang.

Of course, he was still a head above the ministers on the high platform, even when he was sitting.

And the ministers, only when they were in the audience, did a great bow. In fact, before Hu Bed was introduced to China, the ritual of kneeling was not a humiliating ceremony.

The only difference between standing and bowing is that you are seated. For the same is the one whom they prostrate to sit on their knees.

During the court meeting, the ministers were not allowed to sit, just because it was too tiring to sit.

When Ji Kao heard that Emperor Shang was summoned, he hurriedly walked out from behind, came to the front, and saluted first.

"Minister, Zhou Yuan Ji Kao, meet Your Majesty. ”

He raised his head and looked up at this Shang Emperor who listened to his wishes last night and had great ambitions, and saw that he was raising his eyebrows, his nose was raised, and he was very powerful, and although his hair was white, his voice was loud.

"Good, in the land of the west, there are always virtuous people. Your ancestor Houji, to the ancestor (e) uncle, although not divided into the same surname, but brothers, both are the sons of Emperor Yu, the brother of Emperor Yao. In the past years, the rebellion of heaven and man, your ancestor abandoned as a farmer, in charge of farming, my ancestor was Situ, in the position of Huozheng, for King Yu to control the water, and cut down Zhurong, there is a great contribution to the world. ”

Houji is the ancestor of the Zhou people, and Yan Bo is the ancestor of the merchant Ziqi (pronounced xie).

"Today, you Ji Zhou, although you still live in the border land, not as good as the state of the Central Plains, but do not forget the ancestors' ambition to cleanse Kyushu, go to the west, punish the ghosts, capture the king of Zhai, and give my heart a great joy. ”

Wu Yi's voice echoed in the palace: "The carriage is being set up, and the twelve Zhai kings will be imprisoned in the city, and three days later, they will be punished on the execution platform." Among the first of its expeditions, the army and the people were Zhao. To Yin Shang to follow the mandate of the Xia Hou clan, and the Quartet Zhuyi, it is absolutely difficult to stand. But all those who have made meritorious contributions to the Rongdi barbarians, and the countries of meritorious deeds, will not hesitate to reward. ”

"Ji Zhou Zhu fell to the west, captured the twelve Zhai kings, and gave him thirty miles of land, ten pairs of beautiful jade, and ten good horses. And sent a messenger to personally hold my axe, give it to the Duke of Zhou, and grant it the right to conquer Zhurong. ”

"On behalf of the people of Zhouyuan, thank Your Majesty for your kindness. ”

At this time, Ji Kao naturally wanted to salute and thank you.

"No thanks, you're here to ask you a question. ”
