Chapter 76: Jiang Ziya built a monument to Xiqi

It is said that Xibohou Jichang was enlightened by the Antarctic immortals, and asked them to go back to bathe and change clothes, choose a good day and auspiciousness, and then come to the Weishui River to meet this great sage in their dreams in the future.

After Xibohou Jichang returned to the palace, he discussed the national policy with the civil and military officials in many early courts.

One day seven days later, a burst of peaceful music suddenly came from the colorful clouds in the sky of Xiqi, and Xibohou Jichang once again divided, and the hexagram showed that he would definitely get the great sage in his dream today.

So he called Ji Fa, General Nangong Shi, Dr. San and other civil and military officials to come to the bank of the Weishui River, and happened to meet Bukit coming from the river on the side of the road, carrying a fishing net on his shoulder.

Everyone said in unison, "What's the matter? Bukit is still alive." General Nangong Shi hurried up and said: "Bold, Wu Ji, you dare to escape Hou Ye's yin and yang gossip calculation, what is going on, you hurry over and explain it to Hou Ye." Wu Ji came to Xibo Hou Jichang in a panic and knelt down in front of him and said, "Cao Min Wu Ji, I have seen Hou Ye."

Xibohou Jichang asked strangely: "The hexagram shows that you didn't fall off the cliff on the mountain and die in the process of chopping wood?"

Wu Ji told Xibo Hou Jichang about the cause and effect of being rescued by Jiang Ziya's spell.

Xibohou Jichang laughed and said: "Yes, the great sage in my dream is him, so I immediately asked Wuji to lead the way, and Wuji took Xibohou Jichang and others to the thatched house where Jiang Ziya lived, and Jiang Ziya was not seen inside."

Wu Ji said: "My master and his old man often go to the river to fish, I'll take a look, Hou Ye, you just sit here and wait for a while, General Nangong Shi asked people to clean up the inside, and brought a stool for Hou Ye to sit down and rest, and Xibo Hou Jichang asked them to go around here separately to look around."

General Nangong Shi walked from the east, and he didn't go far before he saw a gray-haired old man fishing there from a distance.

When I got closer, I was surprised, how was an embroidery needle floating on the river, and I kept reading: "The big ones don't come, the small ones come, the big ones don't come, the small ones come."

Nangong Shi approached and called softly: "Hello, old man, I am Nangong Shi, and I was sent by the Marquis of Xiqi to pick you up."

Jiang Ziya ignored him, and didn't even look up at him. Nangong Shi called more than ten times in a row, but he didn't see the old man looking up at himself and answering himself, so he was so strange that he came back to report to the Hou Ye.

said: "Lord Qiqi, I met a white-haired old man by the river in the east, and when I got closer, he turned out to be an embroidery needle floating on the water."

The mouth kept reading: "What do you say that the big ones don't come, the small ones come, the big ones don't come, and the small ones come." Weichen walked up and called him more than a dozen times, but he ignored it, so strange, Weichen came back."

Xibohou Jichang said: "Yes, I should have personally invited him."

As he spoke, he asked General Nangong Shi to lead the way and walked towards the east, and Dr. San and Bukit also arrived from the northwest.

From a distance, I saw an old man with gray hair fishing by the river, and suddenly caught a big red carp.

I heard him say, "The big one has finally come."

Xibohou Jichang didn't bother him, and watched him put the big red carp in the basket.

So he hurriedly went up to thank him and said, "Sir, it's good." I am Xibohou Jichang is also".

Jiang Ziya replied: "I have been waiting for the Hou Ye here for many days, which means that it has been a long time."

Xibohou Jichang said: "Old man, you are fortunate to have made you wait for a long time."

Jiang Ziya said: "In order to help Zhou and the people in the world, it is not hard."

Xibohou Jichang humbly asked Jiang Ziya and said: "Now the king of the Song Dynasty is absurd, mediocre, and listens to the slander of traitorous ministers, is bewitched by Daji, kills his wife and children, and forces the people of the world to be in a situation where the people are not able to make a living. What does the old gentleman think about this"?

Jiang Ziya said: "The world is the world of the people of the world, not the world of one person, and those who can share the benefits of the world with all the people can win the world." Those who enjoy the benefits of the world alone will lose the world. All things are born and formed naturally. The king of the people's livelihood thinks for the people. When you are born in the four seasons, you can benefit the people of the world and enjoy the world. The world is bustling, all for profit, and the world is for profit. The way of the world is like water flowing forever, the people's heart is the top, and the king is below. The world is big, and there are virtuous kings. The world is vast, and the tyrant without virtue loses it".

Xibo Hou Jichang said happily: "Sir's words woke me up like nectar."

So he helped Jiang Ziya and said, "Sir, please go back to Xiqi with me and help me cut down together."

Jiang Ziya said: "Master Xie." And then, in a big way, came back."

On the way back, Jiang Ziya asked Xibohou Ji Chang to pull the carriage himself, and Ji Fa saw that he wanted to go up to replace him.

Jiang Ziya said: "No." Nangong Shi and Doctor San were also ready to go up and say, "Master Hou, let Weichen pull it."

Jiang Ziya said: "No, you have to pull it yourself."

Xibohou Jichang was sweating while pulling.

The crowd along the way shouted: "We Xiqi are blessed, Hou Ye has gained such a great sage, Xibo Hou Jichang pulled a distance, and suddenly the reins were broken."

Jiang Ziya asked, "Master Hou, how many steps have you taken?"

Xibohou Jichang said: "I pulled eight hundred and eight steps."

Jiang Ziya said: "Master Hou, the minister can protect you for more than eight hundred and eight years in the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Xibohou Ji Chang said happily when he heard this: "Let Ji Fa, prepare to pick up the reins and continue to pull."

Jiang Ziya said: "Providence is like this." Xibo Hou Ji said: "Since it is the will of heaven, then we will obey the will of heaven."

On the same day, Xibohou Jichang held a ceremony to welcome the great sages.

And worship the heavens, praying that the heavens will protect the Xiqi wind and rain, Jiang Ziya and Xibo Hou Jichang said: "The minister knows that today is a good day and an auspicious day for the zodiac, why don't you take advantage of this today to announce the establishment of the country and establish the Great Zhou."

Xibohou Jichang said with a smile: "Old man, what you said is true."

So he immediately announced in front of the civil and military officials: "Today, with the full support of all of you, we Xiqi are now officially established in the country - the Great Zhou Dynasty, the country is called Zhou, I am the founding king of Wen, Ji Fa is officially the founding prince, Mr. Feng is the founding prime minister, Nangong Shi is the founding general, and Sanyisheng is the founding doctor."

Jiang Ziya thanked him and said, "Minister Xie Wen." The civil and military officials paid homage to King Xie Wen one by one."

In the afternoon, Xibo Hou Jichang and Prime Minister Jiang Ziya and the ministers discussed: "Now that the king of Chaoge is extravagant, mediocre, listening to slander, mutilating loyalty, killing his wife and children, and killing Mei Bo and the prime minister and other loyal ministers of the court, I propose that we Xiqi build a special memorial for those dead heroic souls, so as to stabilize the souls of those killed in Chaoge and give them a place to belong."

Then, in the process of construction, the people voluntarily contributed, not forced, and the wages of those who contributed were three times the daily wages.

The ministers said: "It should be built, and from now on, we will immediately prepare to organize a general meeting of the alliance of princes to jointly study the strategy of sending troops to attack Chaoge City."
