Chapter 125: Nuwa Recruits Demons, and the Gods Open
But it was said that after Nuwa Niangniang returned to the Wa Palace, she was very unhappy. He ordered Caiyun Boy to take the golden gourd in the harem, put it under the Danqi, lift the gourd cover, and pointed with his hand, there was a white light in the gourd, which was as big as a rafter, and was more than four or five zhang high. Above the white light, one side is suspended, the light is divided into five colors, and there are thousands of rays, which are named: "Recruit demon flags." ”
Niangniang waved the demon flag, only to see the sad wind, miserable fog, clouds and clouds, the wind passed several gusts, but the number of demons in the world gathered in the palace, waiting for the decree. Nuwa Niangniang specially recruited the three little demons over. Then he instructed Caiyun Boy to let the big demons everywhere retreat, leaving only the three little demons in Xuanyuan's tomb waiting for the decree.
The three demons entered the palace and said: "Meet Niangniang, may Niangniang live a boundless life." "One of these three demons is a thousand-year-old fox spirit, one is a nine-headed pheasant essence, and the other is a jade pipa essence, prostrating Danqi.
Nuwa Niangniang said: "The three demons listen to my decree! Cheng Tang's luck is gloomy, when the world is lost, the phoenix is singing Qishan, and the Western Zhou Dynasty has given birth to the Holy Lord." Providence has been decided, and the number of qi dictates. Your three demons can hide their demon form, support the palace, confuse the king's heart, and wait until the king of martial arts to help succeed, and do not harm sentient beings. When it is done, it will bring you and others to fruition. After Nuwa Niangniang finished speaking, the three demons kowtowed to thank them and turned away from the breeze.
At the same time, all the saints were aware of it.
In fact, as early as when King Su inscribed a poem on Nuwa Palace and humiliated Nuwa, all the saints had already sensed it. Among them, the two of them were shocked, after all, at this time, the Western Sect and Cheng Tang's luck were connected, sharing honor and disgrace, but the two of them never thought that this king would be so bold and dare to blaspheme the saint. Seeing this, the other saints snickered one after another, even Lao Tzu, who was an ally of the Western Sect.
In Lao Tzu's mind, after all, the Western Sect is a foreign sect, and its alliance with it has already taken the risk of the world's greatness, and if it is allowed to become bigger again, what will his face have? Moreover, since he snatched a teacher of the emperor from the West, and later took advantage of the momentum of Shang Tang to prosper, Lao Tzu was even more jealous of it, but now it is just what he wants, and the same is true of the primitive.
As for Tongtian, he naturally snickered, influenced by the novels of his previous life, the last thing he wanted to see was the Western religion, and now he saw its great loss, and he was very happy in his heart, so he almost held a banquet to celebrate.
After that, Nuwa Niangniang was furious, and after returning to the palace, she tried her best to recruit the demon clan and the Wa Palace. And just after Nuwa Niangniang recruited the demon, Zhun Ti and the two of them suddenly felt that most of the luck of the West had been lost, and after the two learned about it, they were all like ashes, but they didn't expect that this catastrophe had not really begun, and they had been hit hard. Zhun Ti was even more annoyed, and even though he wanted to go to Nuwa Niangniang to talk about it, he was stopped by the lead. It is not good to be led to the heart, but this matter is the fault of the king of Zhou, blaspheming the saints! What a great sin this is, and what kind of face do they have to talk to Nuwa Niangniang?
Zhun Ti also understands this principle, but he was just unwilling and a little impulsive before. After calming down, I can only give up. But after this incident, the two saints of the West had other thoughts about this alliance of saints, which was beyond the expectations of Lao Tzu and others
Besides, after the king came back from the Nuwa Palace, he was in a daze, and his actions were even more upside down. The king's actions concern all the people of the world, and the king acts like this, but it is the people of the world who are unlucky. The king of Zhou built a large number of buildings, recruited women to fill the harem, and slowly abandoned the government. There are two doctors, Fei Zhong and You Hun, who are especially favored by the king. These two people bewitched Shengcong and flattered them, but they said something, and the king did not obey him.
And this Fei Zhong and You Hun saw that since the king entered the incense, he did not like the harem women as much as before, so the two of them thought about it. As soon as he said, the king asked Fei Zhong: "Because of the incense in Nuwa Palace, I occasionally see her beautiful appearance, peerless, three palaces and six courtyards, what will be the case?
Fei Zhong flattered: "Your Majesty is the honor of all vehicles, rich from all over the world, and virtuous with Yao Shun." Everything in the world is owned by His Majesty, so why can't it be troubled, and what is so difficult about this? Your Majesty clearly said that he would pass on a decree and promulgate the princes of the four roads, and each town should choose 100 beauties to fill the royal court.
King Dayue said: "What Qing played is very agreeable, and it is said that the early dynasty will issue a decree, and Qing will return temporarily." Fei Zhong retired.
The next day said that in the early dynasty, hundreds of civil and military officials arrived, and after saluting, the king said: "That is, to pass on my will, promulgate the princes of the four towns, and select 100 beauties from each town and place for me, regardless of rich or poor, only with dignified appearance, affectionate and graceful, courtesy and leisurely, and generous, in order to fill the harem." ”
Before the king finished speaking, he saw one of Zuo Ben's ministers play in response, knelt down on the ground and said: "The old minister Shang Rong Qi plays! Today, there are no less than 1,000 beauties in His Majesty's harem, and there are concubines. I want to choose a beautiful woman out of thin air, and I'm afraid the people will be disappointed!"
After hearing this, the king closed his eyes and struggled, and only after a long time did he say: "What Aiqing said is very true, I will take back my destiny!" After the king finished speaking, the ministers shouted in unison: "My emperor is shengming." ”
In the eighth year of the reign of the king, the four princes paid tribute, and all the gifts were piled up outside the noon gate. The official of the Yellow Gate on order said: "The princes of Xuansi Town saw the driver, and they congratulated outside the noon gate of the entourage." "The four princes dressed up their court clothes, came to the main hall, and bowed to the king.
The king said: "Qing and others are shocked by me, and they have worked hard and made great achievements, and I am very relieved!"
Dong Bohou played: "The ministers have been blessed by the Holy Grace of the Emperor, and the officials live in the four princes. Since he should serve the saint, why should he cherish the sacred heart? The ministers are grateful!" When the king heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and ordered the prime minister to discuss and entertain the four princes in the Xianqing Palace. The four princes hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.
The king retreated straight to the back hall, announced Fei Zhong and You Hun here, and asked: "Previously, Aiqing came up with an idea for me, wanting to make the princes of the four towns in the world pay tribute to the beauties. Now the princes of the four towns are here, summoned in the morning, and issued an order in person, ordering the four to return to the fiefdom, so that they can be selected and sacrificed, and the envoys are appointed and dismissed to go back and forth, what does the second secretary think?"
When Fei Zhong heard this, his eyes rolled and he said to King Xu: "Earlier, Your Majesty wanted to announce a decree to order the selection of beauties in the world, but was dissuaded by Prime Minister Shang Rong, and Your Majesty immediately withdrew his will. This is known to the whole world, and once the decree is issued again, I am afraid that it will affect His Majesty's prestige among his subjects!"
Fei Zhong saw that the face of the king changed, and hurriedly continued: "The minister recently said that there is a daughter in Yizhou and Suhu, who is bright and beautiful, quiet and chaste, why doesn't Your Majesty make an order to recruit her to the palace and serve left and right." Moreover, the choice of only one daughter will not affect His Majesty's prestige among his subjects. ”
When the king heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and said: "What Aiqing said is extremely true. Then he said to the attendants: "I have immediately announced that Su Hu has come to discuss state affairs. Su Hu, who was resting in the post house, received the holy decree of the king of Xu, and did not dare to slack off at the moment, and hurriedly dressed up and followed the attendants to the Longde Palace. Su Hu stepped forward and finished saluting.
King Su said: "I heard that Aiqing has a daughter, whose surname is quiet and her demeanor is moderate. I want to choose a harem to serve as a relative of the country. Eat its Tianlu, be affected by its prominent position, Yongzhen Jizhou, sit and enjoy good health, famous all over the world, the world is envious!
After hearing this, Su Hu said: "In Your Majesty's palace, there are concubines and concubines, no less than thousands. Isn't it enough to please the king? Your Majesty listens to slander and traps Your Majesty in injustice. Moreover, Pu Liu, the daughter of Weichen, is weak, has never heard of etiquette, and has no virtue. I beg Your Majesty to take back your destiny and kill the villain who has entered the slander, so that the whole world will know that Your Majesty is cultivating himself with a righteous heart and listening to advice, and he is not a lustful king, isn't it beautiful!"
The king laughed and said: "Aiqing, but I don't know the general situation! Since ancient times, whose daughter has not married? Besides, she is a concubine, rich and noble, and Aiqing is also a relative of the emperor, which is a prominent glory, and Aiqing is a smart person, so she naturally understands how to choose." ”
After Su Hu heard this, he unconsciously said sharply: "If the people cultivate virtue and diligence, then all the people will be satisfied, the four seas will follow, and the sky will never end." In the past, it was said that there was a summer loss of government, and the silver and wine were colored. Only my ancestors, who are not quiet, do not breed goods and profits, are morally maomaoguan, meritorious maomao, and Kekuan Keren, can cut the right Xia, show faith in the people, and be its Chang: forever protect the destiny of heaven. Now Your Majesty is the lawless ancestor, and following the example of King Bixia is the way to defeat! In addition, if the king loves sex, he will subvert the society; if the doctor loves sex, he will destroy the temple; and if the Shishu people love sex, they will kill the thief. And the king is an example of the minister, if he does not go to the Tao, the minister will turn it, and the friend will be compared to annihilation, and the world is still unbearable? The minister is afraid that the business will be defeated in the hands of His Majesty for more than 600 years!"
When the king heard this, he was furious and said, "The king's order is called, and he will not be driven." The king gave death, and did not dare to disobey. What's more, I just want to recruit your daughter as a concubine, you actually dare to disobey me, and say to my face that I am the king of the dead country, which is a great disrespect, and someone will take down Su Hu and push him out of the noon gate and behead him. The entourage on one side immediately took Su Hu down and was about to push it out to ask for a beheading.
At this time, Fei Zhong and You Hun came in from outside the hall, knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, Su Hu should be beheaded for disobeying His Majesty, but His Majesty killed Su Hu because of his choice of his daughter, if the subjects know, Your Majesty will be light on the virtuous and heavy, and it will be a big drop in prestige, so it is better to let Su Hu go, so Su Hu will thank Your Majesty for not killing him, and he will naturally send his daughter to serve His Majesty." When the people heard of His Majesty's magnanimity, His Majesty's prestige was bound to rise. It's a win-win!"
When the king heard this, he thought for a moment, and then said: "Then according to what Aiqing said, let Su Hu go, and order him to return to the fiefdom immediately and not stay in Chaoge." "The holy decree is done, and it is true that it will be done, forcing Su Hu to leave the court quickly.
Su Hu returned to the post house, and the generals came forward to meet him and asked, "The Holy Lord summoned the general to the court, what is there to discuss?"
Su Hu said angrily: "I don't think about the virtues of my ancestors, I listen to slander, and I want to choose my daughter to enter the palace as a concubine." This must be Fei Zhong and You Hun confusing the monarch's heart with wine and wanting to dictate the government. I don't listen to the order, I don't feel that I speak outright, and I am disobedient and want to behead me. The two thieves played the faint king again, let me go back to the fiefdom, I expect that I feel the grace of the faint king, and will send my daughter into the court song, in order to destroy the two thieves, I want to hear the Taishi expedition, the two thieves get power, and see that the faint king will be barren silver and wine, disorder of the government, the world is desolate, and the people of Li are hanging upside down. I thought to myself that if I didn't put this woman into the official, the faint king would definitely ask the teacher for sin. If you want to send this woman into the palace, you will lose your morality in the future, and the world will laugh at me for being unwise. Do you have a good plan to teach me?"
When the generals heard this, they said in unison: "When we hear that the king is not right, we will surrender to foreign countries." Today, the saint is light and virtuous, and when he sees the chaos, if he goes out of the court song and defends a country, he can protect the temple and protect his family. ”
Su Hu was in a rage at this time, and when he heard this, he didn't realize his surname, so he didn't think about it and said: "The great man can't do things that he doesn't understand!" called his subordinates, took the four treasures of the study, and inscribed a poem on the wall of the noon gate, expressing the intention of never going to business. The poem says: "The monarch is bad and the ministers are outlined, there are defeated five constants, Jizhou Su protects, and the dynasty is always under the merchants." Su Hu inscribed the poem, and immediately led the family to go straight out of the song and go to Jizhou.
The king was disobedient by Su Hu, and when he was unhappy, he only saw the ministers of the noon gate enter the hall and lean over the ground: "The minister is at the noon gate, and I see that there are sixteen words of anti-poem on the wall of Jizhou Su Hu, and I dare not slack off, and I hope that Your Majesty will judge!" Then handed the poem to the attendant, and the attendant sent it to the imperial case. After reading this, the king immediately scolded: "How can this be true! In line with the virtue of having a good life in heaven, I will not kill the rat thief and make him return to the fiefdom, but he will inscribe an anti-poem at the noon gate, which greatly humiliates the court, and the crime is unforgivable." ”
Immediately ordered Xuanyin to be ruined, Chao Tian, and Lu Xiong...... and others, who command the six divisions, must personally conquer, and will destroy their country. When the driver accompanied Xuan Luxiong and others to see the driver, after a while, Lu Xiong and others knelt down to see him. The king said loudly: "Su Hu is anti-business, inscribed poems on the noon gate, insulting the dynasty, and the crime is unforgivable! Qing and other ancestors commanded 200,000 people and horses as the vanguard, and I personally led the six divisions to ask him for his crime. ”
After hearing this, Lu Xiong lowered his head and thought secretly: "Su Hu is a loyal and good man, Su Huai is loyal and righteous, what is the disobedience, the Son of Heaven actually wants to drive the expedition in person, and Jizhou will rest!"
For the sake of Su Hu, Lu Xiong immediately bowed down and said: "Su Hu offended Your Majesty, Your Majesty He Lao drove the expedition in person! Moreover, the princes of the four major towns have not yet returned to their fiefdoms in the capital. Your Majesty can order one or two expeditions to capture Su Hu, correct his crimes, and not lose the prestige of the court, why bother to drive far to his place?"
Hearing Lu Xiong's words, the king couldn't help but be moved, and asked, "Who can conquer the four marquis?"
Fei Zhong listened to it and said: "Jizhou is a subordinate of Chonghou Hu in the north, and Chonghou Hu can be ordered to conquer." "The king will give it his permission.
Lu Xiong thought on the side: "Chonghou Hu is a greedy and tyrannical man, leading his troops to go on battle, and the land he passes through will be harmed. ”
The king was about to make a formal announcement. Lu Xiong hurriedly said: "Although Chonghou Hu is in the north, his prestige is not high, I am afraid that this trip may not be able to extend the prestige of the imperial court." It is better to send Xibo Jichang to go, Xibo Hou Jichang benevolence and righteousness are widely spread, if Your Majesty pretends to publicize, he can not fight, but capture Su Hu and punish his crimes. After thinking for a moment, the king simply played all of them. The second marquis was ordered to set off at the same time to capture the traitor Su Hu.
And this battle also kicked off the prelude to the Great Tribulation of the Gods.
