However, it was said that when the Taishi heard that Zhong had returned to the dynasty, he was furious when he learned of the absurd actions of the king of Zhou, so he went directly to ask the king of Zhou, and the king had no choice but to tell them one by one.

When Wen Zhong saw that the king of Xuan confessed, his face turned purple with anger, and he pointed to the cannon and said, "Does the king know the old things about Xia Ji in the past?"

When the king heard this, he didn't dare to say more.

Wen Zhong was angry in his heart, and his voice was a little louder: "Xia Wei built the Qiong room and the elephant corridor, created the punishment of cannon branding, and lost the hearts of the people. The king is now extremely poor and luxurious, and he is building a lot of buildings. Loyal ministers are not allowed to be in the court, and the martyrs are all far away from the princes. Jiang Hengchu, the one who worships Yu in E, guards the frontier for the country and does his best, and the king listens to the words of the annihilation and exterminates them all; Jiang Hou Xiande, since he entered the East Palace, has been fair and graceful, and his mother has the world, but he has cut out his eyes and hands for the sake of one side, and killed his parents and sons. is so perverse, do you want to follow Xia Wei and ruin me into a soup foundation?"

The words were sonorous and loud, and the king was trained so that he didn't take a breath, but just bowed his head and was silent.

Seeing this, Wen Zhong forced himself to calm down, but after all, he was angry in his heart, and he criticized the king of Xu. Later, when he learned that the king had imprisoned Ji Chang first, and finally released him, he was even more angry, and asked the king loudly: "Since the king has killed Ji Chang's son, why did he release Ji Chang?"

When the king heard this, he glanced at Wen Zhong in fear, and replied: "Inside and outside the court, the market is regretful for others, although Lone is the king, but he does not dare to make a strong decision, Ji Chang is known as a virtuous name, and the master does not have to worry too much!"

When Wen Zhong heard this, he was immediately furious, and shouted directly: "The king really doesn't know that this matter is serious?"

The king was roared by Wen Zhong, and his whole body was agitated, and he suddenly lost his temper and fell silent again.

Wen Zhong immediately said: "Although Ji Chang is known as a virtuous person, how can I know that he is not a person who deceives the world and steals his name? The king is the Son of Heaven, and he is eloquent and strategic, although he must speak widely and not make the saint deaf, but he must think about it repeatedly, and he must not be swayed by the rumors and rumors, and he will not be out of proportion. If that Ji Chang is now imprisoned, even if everyone in the world has gossip, they don't dare to do anything. On the other hand, as soon as Ji Chang is released, Xiqi will have the backbone, even if he does not rebel, he said that His Majesty will definitely confront him when he takes power, and there will be constant trouble!"

After listening to Wen Zhong's comments, King Xuan also knew that his handling was very inappropriate, so he could only bow his head and be trained. Wen Zhong sighed faintly when he saw the king like this, but he didn't know what to say, so he retreated

But said that Jiang Ziya has been in the song for several months, and Bigan and others know their talents, and recommend them to the king, but the king of Zhou is blind and does not take on important tasks, Jiang Ziya saw this situation, so he left the song, and heard that Ji Chang, the lord of Xiqi, was known as a virtuous person, so he went straight to Xiqi. After arriving in Xiqi, Ziya secretly said in his heart: "If you go to the Western Zhou Dynasty like this, I am afraid that it will be like the Shang Dynasty and will not be reused, and it seems that you need to wait patiently." So, Jiang Ziya lived in the mountains and only fished in Weishui.

But there is a woodcutter in this mountain, named Wuji, who often sees Jiang Ziya, and after a long time, he is also very familiar.

This day, Bukit went to Xiqi City to sell firewood, the market is narrow, when the firewood was replaced, one side of the firewood fell, the flat pole jumped up, hit a pedestrian next to him, directly hit the ear door, the person died on the spot. When King Wen was traveling, he asked why, and after knowing the reason, although he was injured by mistake, he had to resist his life, and then he drew the ground as a prison at the south gate, and the erector wood was the official, and Wu Ji was banned here.

The princes of the world, the east, south, and north even the song of the dynasty have forbidden prisons, but Xiqi is because of the innate number of King Wen, and there is no difference between good and evil, so the people dare not escape, so they draw the land as a prison, and the people do not dare to escape. If he leaves, King Wen will play the innate number, calculate it, and double the guilt. Therefore, it is said that "painting the ground is prison".

Bukit was banned for three days because he missed his mother and cried loudly. Seeing that he was also filial, San Yisheng was very sympathetic, so he told King Wen about it. After King Wen learned about it, he also sighed in his heart, so he let Bukit go home, and used the expenses of his adoptive mother and the coffin clothes to come back to his life after the matter was over.

Bukit went all the way back to the mountains and happened to meet Jiang Ziya, who couldn't see each other for a few days, so he asked, "I haven't seen you yet, I don't know where you went?"

When Wu Ji heard this, he immediately thought of his manslaughter, and in his heart, he also wanted to find someone to tell him, so he told Jiang Ziya about his death.

Jiang Ziya listened, but said with a smile, "This is a trivial matter." ”

When Wu Ji heard this, he thought about the meaning of Jiang Ziya's words for a while, and after a while, he finally understood, and then hurriedly wept, begging Jiang Ziya to save his life, and wishing to worship Jiang Ziya as a teacher. Seeing this, Jiang Ziya taught him a method, and sure enough, he escaped Ji Chang's divine calculation. Subsequently, Jiang Ziya asked Wu Ji to learn martial arts and military books with him.

Ji Chang said that he had a lot of opportunities, and after a few words, he actually forgot about it, and Wu Ji also saved his surname.

One night half a year later, Ji Chang was sleeping at night.

When it came to the third watch, it was in the dream, suddenly saw a white-fronted tiger in the southeast, winged, and pounced on the tent, Ji Chang screamed left and right, only to hear a loud sound behind the palace, the fire rushed into the sky, Ji Chang woke up, scared a body of fragrant sweat, listened to the audience has played three watches, Ji Chang thought to himself about this dream master He Ji Ji, stay until dawn, and then discuss.

Saying that the next morning, the civil and military affairs came to the stage to consult and finished, and Ji Chang asked: "Where is the doctor Sanyisheng?"

San Yisheng came out of the class to greet him: "What is the calling?"

Ji Chang said: "Lonely tonight when the third watch has a different dream, I dreamed that there is a white-fronted tiger in the southeast with wings, and pounced in the same tent, lonely and anxious left and right, only to see the fire behind the palace rushing into the sky, a loud wake up, it is a dream. I don't know what the Lord is for this omen?"

San Yisheng bowed down and congratulated: "This dream is a great auspicious omen for the king, the king is the minister of the pillars, the man of the great treasure, and he really does not let the right of Yiyin after the wind." ”

Ji Chang asked, "Why did Qing see this?"

San Yisheng replied: "In the past, Shang Gaozong once had a flying bear in a dream, and it was rumored that it was between the versions. Now the Lord dreams of the tiger and gives birth to two wings, and it is a bear. Go to see the fire behind the palace, it is the image of fire. Today, the West belongs to gold, gold will see fire, and cold gold will become a great weapon. This is a great omen for the prosperity of Zhou, so the minister is especially happy. ”

After listening to this, all the officials congratulated each other. King Wen sent a decree to drive back, and he wanted to visit Xian in response to this omen.

Soon after, Ji Chang went out to the suburbs with the civil and military forces to have fun and share the scenery of three springs. Walking to a mountain, the monarch and the minister were walking around, only to see a group of people composing a song and saying: "When the past was swept away by the soup, the eleventh expedition began from Ge; Now after more than 600 years, I wish that Wang Enbo will rest, hanging meat is a cup of wine for a pool, and Lutai is a thousand feet of blood. The inside is barren and the outside is barren and the birds are barren, but the four seas are boiling and moaning; I, Cao, am a seafarer, and I don't listen to the sound of the dead country. It is said that the song of the flood is mighty, and the night vision of the stars is lonely fishing; the lonely fishing does not know the width of the world, and the white head looks up to the old heaven and the earth. ”

Ji Chang listened to the fisherman's song, and said to San Yisheng: "The rhyme of this song is strange, and there must be a great sage hidden here." ”

Ji Chang ordered Xin Jia to say: "Invite me to meet the sage who is a lone song." ”

Xin Jia received the order, patted the horse and said sharply: "There is a sage inside, please come out to see my Chitose Lord." ”

When the fishermen heard this, they all knelt down and said, "Are we all idlers?"

Xin Jia asked, "Why are you all idlers?"

The fisherman replied, "I will go out to fish in the morning, and I will come back in the season without incident, so we are all idlers." ”

Xin Jia listened and was speechless. At this time, King Wen arrived, and Xin Jia hurriedly stepped forward and said: "All of them are fishermen, not sages." ”

Ji Chang shook his head and said firmly: "Listening to the song and rhyme, there must be a great sage in it." ”

The fisherman replied, "This song is not composed by a villain, and thirty-five miles away from here, there is a stream, and there is an old man in the stream, who often composes this song." We are familiar with what we have heard, so we sing it with our mouths, and this song is really not composed by the small people. ”

When Ji Chang heard this, his eyes lit up, and then he said, "Everyone, please go back." And the fishermen prostrated themselves.

King Wen immediately thought about the flavor of the song, and praised loudly: "It's a good ear wash and don't listen to the sound of the dead country." ”

Doctor San Yisheng listened, leaned over and asked, "'Wash your ears and don't hear the sound of the dead country'?"

Ji Chang glanced at San Yisheng suspiciously, and asked, "The doctor doesn't know?"

San Yisheng shook his head and replied: "Forgive the minister for being stupid, I don't know the meaning of this sentence. ”

Seeing this, Ji Chang said with some sighs: "This sentence is the story of King Yao's visit to the Son of Heaven: Xi Yao is virtuous, but he is a man who is not good, and King Houyao is afraid of losing popularity, so he visits privately and wants to give way." When he arrived at a secluded mountain village, he saw a man leaning against the stream and turning a small scoop in the water. He smiled and said: "I have seen through the world, but I have become famous and rich, I have gone to the furniture, abandoned my wife, and left the door of love and right and wrong, and threw the path of red dust." Secluded in the deep forest, salt and vegetable food, Yile Forest Spring, with all year round, the wish of life is enough. King Yao was overjoyed when he heard this: "This person is empty-eyed, the glory of death and wealth, far from the realm of right and wrong, he is really a master! The king said, "Sage, I am no one else, I am Emperor Yao." Seeing that the great sage is virtuous today, can you give up the position of the Son of Heaven?" In the middle of the washing, another man took a man to draught, and he said, "That gentleman! When the man had finished washing, he replied, "Emperor Yao gave way to me and polluted both of my ears. When the man heard this, he led the ox to the upper class and drank it, and the man said, "Why are you leaving?" and the man said, "The water has been washed and polluted by you, and how can you defile my ox's mouth." So it was with the noble men of that time. This sentence is deaf to the sound of the dead country. ”

All the officials listened to Ji Chang talk about the rise and fall of the first dynasty and the traces of the later country; I saw some peach plums, duck green geese long, warblers chirping, purple swallows murmuring. The wind blows regardless of the drunkenness of the tourists, and the unique scenery of the three springs is new. The monarch and the minister were walking, and they saw a woodcutter composing a song:

"The phoenix is not lacking, but the world is full of pollution; You don't see the cultivators, the heart is happy Yao Shun and Li hoe, and you don't meet the three envoys of Cheng Tang, and you embrace the left apprentice of Jinglun. I didn't see my husband and son, Xiao Xiao Ligan was cold, and I didn't see Gaozong's dream back then, and Lin Yu hid the land for life. In ancient times, the virtuous and virtuous people were humiliated and honored, and the people of the Hengmu flute sang the clear day, and the cattle ploughed the white clouds. The princely wealth and wealth slanted down, looking up to the sky and smiling at Mingjun. ”

Ji Chang and Wenwu immediately heard the singing very strange, and there must be a great sage in it, and ordered Xin Jia to invite the sage to meet.

When he saw a group of woodcutters asking, "Is there a sage among you?" "Put down your burden, there is no sage in it.

A moment later, King Wen arrived. Xin Jia replied, "There is no wise man in it. ”

Ji Chang said: "Listening to its songs, there are no wise men in it." ”

There is a person who said: "This song is not composed by me, ten miles ahead, the place is named Xi, among which there is an old man, the name Ziya, the morning and dusk hanging rods, the small people and so on to collect firewood back, the stream is less resting, listen to and sing this song day and night; Not knowing that the king is coming, it is the sin of the people to avoid it. ”

Ji Chang said disappointedly: "There is no wise man, so you will retire temporarily." Everyone went, and Ji Chang just thought about it right away.

After walking all the way, with the civil and military forces, the prosperity can not be exhausted: the spring is bright, the flowers and willows are fragrant, and the red and green are mixed together, decorating the earth. Later, Yi Shengli please drive back, Ji Chang was reluctant to give up, and returned to the dynasty with the civil and military forces.

Before dusk, he finally entered Xiqi and arrived at the palace, and Ji Chang sent a decree: "Let the hundred officials not have to return to the palace, and they will all stay in the palace and go to welcome the great sage." ”

There is a great general Nangong Jin admonished: "Xi Diaosuo, I am afraid it is a false name; the king does not know the truth, and greets the invitation with a grand courtesy, if it is exaggerated, but the Lord Fei is sincere, and he is actually made by a foolish man." According to the minister's humble opinion, the lord does not need to bother so much; If it is worthy of his name, it is not too late for the lord to add it with a solemn salute. If you have a false name, you can use it, so why bother to see the Lord after fasting?"

Hearing this, San Yisheng refuted loudly on the side: "The general didn't say so about this, Fang is in the wilderness today, and the four seas are boiling, and the wise men and gentlemen are mostly hidden in the valley. Today's flying bear should be an omen, the sky hangs down like an elephant, and the great sage is specially given to help my emperor's foundation, which is the blessing of Xiqi. At this time, since we should learn from the ancients to seek talents, and break the habit of restricting qualifications, how can we be as good as the self-sale of the sages, and the general must not say such things, so that the ministers will slack. ”

When Ji Chang heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "The doctor's words are just in line with the will. "With the hundreds of officials, they are in the court for three days, and then hire Ziya.

After three days, bathing and dressing, extremely sincere, Ji Chang sat in Luanhe, took the dowry, Ji Chang set the train and went to the creek to welcome Ziya.

Ji Chang led the civil and military forces out of Guo and came straight to the stream. Thirty-five miles to the bottom of the forest. Ji Chang sent an edict: "The soldiers are temporarily staying in the forest, and there is no need to make a noise, for fear of alarming the Magi." ”

Ji Chang dismounted, and walked into the forest with Sanyisheng, only to see Jiang Ziya sitting by the stream with his back, Ji Chang quietly walked to the front, standing behind Jiang Ziya, Jiang Ziya knew that he was coming. The song is written: "The west wind rises from the clouds, and the years are already twilight? The five phoenixes are singing Allah, and the hook and rod know me." ”

After Ziya was finished, Ji Chang even recognized him as a wise man in his heart, so he asked, "Is the wise man happy?"

Ziya turned around and saw Ji Chang, hurriedly abandoned the pole, prostrated and knocked on the ground: "Ziya didn't know that King Xian was coming, and he missed the welcome, and Wang Xian forgave Shang's sin." ”

Ji Chang hurriedly supported him and said: "Mr. Jiumu, I haven't met before; Seeing the dignity of Mr. Shichang is also lucky. Ji Chang smiled and carried Ziya to the hut, Ziya said goodbye, and Ji Chang bowed back.

Ji Chang said: "I have admired Gao Ming for a long time, but I have not seen each other; ”

Ziya Bai said: "Shang is an old and decrepit talent, and he is not worthy of a consultant; the text is not enough to Anbang, the military is not enough to set the tide, and the king of Hemeng Xian is in vain, and he is really humiliated and has a negative holy will." ”

Yisheng said: "Mr. doesn't have to be too humble, my monarch and ministers Mu Yuqian, special Shen Weichen, concentrate on hiring: today's down, fixed and chaotic, when today's son is reformed, far and virtuous, barren silver wine, line abuse of the people, the princes become chaotic, and the people are not happy." My lord thinks day and night, restless pillows, Mr. Jiumu is virtuous, compassionate, special with a small hire, Mr. does not give up, a total of the Lord, my lord is fortunate to be a lifetime, the people are very fortunate to say that Mr. why hide the strange plot in the chest, endure the misery of the people, why not show the remnant, mourn this □, out of the fire and water and put it to the level? This Mr. covered the virtue, the benevolence of the world. ”

Yisheng put the dowry away, Jiang Ziya saw it, and the quick-lived boy accepted it; Yisheng pushed Luan Yu over and invited Ziya to go to the court.

Jiang Ziya knelt down and excused himself and said: "The old minister is full of grace, and he is courteous; This one categorically does not dare. ”

Ji Chang said: "Lonely set this in advance, Mr. Teyi, you must take it, and live up to your heart." ”

Ziya didn't dare again and again, pushed and blocked several times, and never dared to sit; Yisheng saw that Ziya insisted on not complying, but said to Ji Chang: "The sage does not take advantage of the public opinion, and hopes that the lord will follow the invitation of the sage: you can take the king's free horse, and the lord will take the public opinion." ”

Ji Chang then said: "If this is the case, there is a number of orphans who are said to be pious." "Pushing each other several times, Ji Changnai rides the public opinion, Ziya rides the horse; It was the auspicious day, and when Ziya came, he was eighty years old.
