Chapter 119: The disciples came out of the mountain, and the emperor succeeded to the throne
But it was said that the saints saw that Tongtian had bad intentions, but they were helpless, after all, what Tongtian said was an indisputable fact. At the moment, all the saints are silent.
Lao Tzu was a little anxious in his heart, constantly thinking about how to deal with it, if they couldn't reach a consensus on this matter, the re-alliance of the saints would be shattered, so it would only be cheap, this was the last thing Lao Tzu wanted to see, but he didn't dare to go against the will of the Dao Ancestor, so he was in a dilemma.
Suddenly, Lao Tzu's heart moved, and he said to everyone: "Since you juniors and disciples can't decide on candidates, it's better for me to wait for one and not fill in, and wait for the future to be created by chance." "Anyway, looking at the two saints of the primitive and the west, if they follow this discussion, then after they deal with Tongtian, they will rely on their own means, so it is not a good way.
After listening to Lao Tzu's words, the Primordial Tianzun and the two Western saints were stunned. Primordial Tianzun thought in his heart, he had Pangu Banner to suppress luck, which was enough to protect his disciples, as long as he acted carefully, there should be no mistakes, so he nodded in agreement.
The two sages of the West thought that they had many disciples, but there were less than 20 original disciples, and even if it was really a confrontation, they would not suffer. When the time comes, send all the original subordinates to the list, and the rest will be filled by your own subordinates, so that is the best ending. So, Zhun Ti also nodded and replied: "Okay! Don't fill in any of them, who is on the list and who is not on the list of the disciples of each sect depends on their personal strength and chance." ”
Seeing this, Lao Tzu breathed a sigh of relief slightly, if this method is not working, then their alliance may also come to an end.
At that moment, Lao Tzu bowed to the Taoist platform in the middle of Zixiao Palace and said, "Teacher Qiqi, I don't know if this method is feasible?"
As soon as the words fell, the figure of Hongjun Dao Ancestor appeared on the Dao platform silently, glanced at everyone, and said lightly: "As long as there are three hundred and sixty-five people on the list, don't miss the general trend of the gods, as for who is on the list, and look at the chance, you can't regret it," said it, and looked at everyone majestically.
When the saints heard this, they saw the stern eyes of the Dao Ancestor again, and hurriedly said, "The disciple doesn't dare." ”
In this way, the saints finally reached a consensus.
At this time, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable was the weakest of the saints, and he was also anxious in his heart. At that moment, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable saw that the saints had no objections, and hurriedly asked Hongjun Daozu: "Teacher, I don't know which sect is presiding over this matter of the gods? or who is presiding over it?"
Hongjun raised his eyelids slightly, and said leisurely: "The matter of sealing the gods is to eliminate the disasters of heaven and earth, and to go to the immortal god robbery. When all the saints heard this, they were all excited, if this god was from his own door, then it would be feasible to hang a sheep's head and sell dog meat in the future, and replace the public with private, and let whoever he wants to be on the list, but it is much more convenient to act.
Tongtian's eyes flashed, and Xiang Hongjun asked: "What the teacher means in his words, this person is not a member of the Four Sects, and a saint?" Tongtian naturally knew that this god was Jiang Ziya, who couldn't die no matter how he died, but he couldn't show indifference, otherwise he would arouse the suspicion of all the saints.
Hongjun glanced at Tongtian slightly, and replied lightly: "Exactly." ”
When Primordial Tianzun heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Then I don't know who this person is, and I ask the teacher for guidance." ”
Hongjun frowned, and all the saints were shocked, thinking that Dao Ancestor was angry, and hurriedly lowered his head. Just when the saints thought that Hongjun would not answer, Hongjun frowned and thought for a while, and then said lightly: "Under the way of heaven, there is still a glimmer of heaven. In this case, it will not hurt for me to sue Yu Er and others. This person was born with a different appearance, and he appeared as a flying bear. He will worship under the saint's door without confusion. After a hundred years of apprenticeship, the god list will enter the sect. With that, he disappeared into the void again.
Seeing that Dao Ancestor had hidden his figure, but he had his own thoughts, the saints said goodbye to each other, left Zixiao Palace, and walked towards their respective dojos.
Not to mention that Lao Tzu and the others returned to the dojo separately, but it was said that after Tongtian Houtu and the two returned to Penglai Island all the way, Tongtian immediately summoned all the disciples.
In the main hall of Biyou Palace, Tongtian Youyou, who was sitting on the platform, opened his eyes, glanced at the disciples below, and said lightly: "Now that the catastrophe of the gods is coming, you still need to go to the red dust to walk on it, but the cause and effect on your body." ”
When the disciples heard this, they were stunned for a moment, but they didn't know what this divine tribulation was. But seeing the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother stepped forward and raised her head, she asked, "Teacher, I don't know what kind of catastrophe this divine tribulation is, and how should we get through it?"
Tongtian replied: "This catastrophe is a catastrophe for the immortals, and in the midst of the flood, anyone who fails to behead the corpse will be killed." ”
When the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit heard this, she asked suspiciously, "Teacher, the disciple is puzzled. Even if that's the case, there are also people who beheaded corpses among the disciples, so why should they also be robbed?"
Tongtian glanced at the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit, and said: "The teacher naturally does not want to let any of you and others face a catastrophe, but when I intercepted the three emperors and five emperors, I sought too much luck, and acted a little strongly, so it caused the other three religions to be dissatisfied, and the teacher has done a game with several other saints for this purpose, and although it won in the end, the other saints will naturally not be reconciled." Although Gongming and others are also good at cultivating, but the three sects are too many to deal with, so they will not be able to cope with it. ”
When everyone heard Tongtian's words, they were all shocked in their hearts, they never thought that the saints had already done it before, and their own teacher was actually better than other saints, which made everyone feel a trace of pride in their hearts. After listening to Tongtian's next words, everyone was stunned, and then said in unison: "Disciple respects the teacher's decree. ”
Tongtian nodded slightly, and then said again: "Turtle Spirit, Wudang, Jin Ling, Wuyun, Yunxiao, Er and other five people have been living in Penglai Island since their apprenticeship, but they have never set up a dojo in the wilderness. ”
The Turtle Spirit Holy Mother and the other five people hurriedly responded: "The disciple should do his best for my sect, and dare not slack off. ”
Tongtian looked at the five people, his heart was very satisfied, and everything was over, so he waved his hand and ordered the disciples to retreat.
The disciples bowed again, then withdrew from the main hall, went back to the cave to pack their things, and then left the island one after another.
At the same time, the disciples of the three sects of people, interpretation, and the West also flocked out, and all of them entered the catastrophe
At this time, the world was the reign of Emperor Yi of the Shang Dynasty. Emperor Yi has been in power for more than 20 years, and Emperor Yi has three sons: the eldest is called Wei Ziqi, the second is called Wei Ziyan, and the third is Xin Shoude. These three princes are smart people, especially the third son Xin Shoude, who has been quick to argue since childhood, has a keen hearing, is infinitely powerful, and loves martial arts. Di Yi asked him to learn martial arts with Taishi Wen Zhong. After years of training, he is also skilled in bows and horses, and his martial arts are extraordinary.
After Wen Zhong, he accepted another apprentice, named Huang Feihu, who was the eldest son of Huang Roll, the general soldier of Jiepai Pass. This Huang family has been a general for generations, and at this time, Huang Roll is in his sixties, and he is deeply in the hands of the merchant Son of Heaven. Huang Roll gave birth to three sons and one daughter, and the three sons are named: Huang Feihu, Huang Feibao, and Huang Feibiao. Among them, Huang Feihu has the best qualifications, was favored by Master Wentai, accepted as a disciple, and studied art under Xin Shoude at the same time. Xin Shoude grew up in the deep palace and rarely had playmates, but since Huang Feihu came, he had a playmate, and he had a very good relationship with Huang Feihu. Food is the same case, and sleep is the same collapse.
This Taishi Wenzhong, but at this time he was a disciple of the West, and he sat down in Shakyamuni, and was later arranged by Shakyamuni to assist Yin Shang.
Di Yi has been in power for a long time, he is old, and he knows that he will die soon, and he wants to determine the successor. But the three sons are all extremely good, but they don't know who to choose, and they are extremely troubled.
This time, Emperor Yi and a group of ministers traveled in the imperial garden, leading the civil and military to enjoy the peony. Emperor Yi governs the people to recuperate, does not collect more taxes, and is also extremely frugal, and the palace has not been repaired for many years. After a while, they came to Feiyun Pavilion, and the beams on Feiyun Pavilion were already decaying because of disrepair.
It is also in line with Xin Shoude when he inherits the unification, when Di Yi and everyone came to Feiyun Pavilion, it happened that the beam of Feiyun Pavilion was broken, and it fell down towards Di Yi, and the civil and military forces were shocked, but it was too far away to rescue, so they could only look at Di Yi dumbfounded, and at this moment, Xin Shoude, who was beside Di Yi, roared, stood in front of Di Yi, held up the fallen beam, protected Di Yi, and saved Di Yi from disaster. After returning to the palace, Emperor Yi was named King Shou for his meritorious service in rescuing the driver.
From time to time, there were Nanban tribes, who refused to accept the king's transformation and raised troops against business. When King Shou heard this, he asked Emperor Yi to put down the rebellion. After gaining the permission of Emperor Yi, King Shou took Huang Feihu as the vanguard and went to the south to quell the Southern Barbarian Rebellion. King Shou ate with the soldiers in the army, and his orders were strict, and he was deeply loved by the soldiers. Supplemented by good generals such as Huang Feihu, in just a few months, the Nanban Rebellion was pacified.
After the class teacher returned to the dynasty, Di Yi finally made up his mind to establish King Shou as the prince and inherit the unification after a hundred years. Just because Emperor Yi saw that there were tribes rebelling from time to time, although Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziyan were proficient in the art of governing the country, they did not understand military strategy, which was not conducive to the great cause of Yin Shang. And the third son Shouwang is skilled in martial arts and proficient in war, but he is not afraid of this. As for the matter of Wenzhi, Prime Minister Shang Rong, his younger brother Yabigan, and Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziyan are all good at this matter, and Taishi Wenzhong is both civil and military, and he is not afraid. At the right time, there were Prime Minister Shang Rong, Doctor Mei Bai, Zhao Qi and others who went to the East Palace, and Emperor Yi took advantage of the situation to establish King Shou as the crown prince.
When Emperor Yi was thirty years old, Emperor Yi collapsed due to illness, and Tuo Gu and Taishi Wen Zhong established King Shou as the Son of Heaven. Lizheng's wife, Jiang Huan Chu, the daughter of Jiang Huan Chu, is the queen, Huang Feihu's sister is the imperial concubine of the West Palace, Yang is the imperial concubine of Xinqing Palace, and the concubine of the third palace. Feng Huang Feihu is the king of Zhenguo Wucheng who leads the world's soldiers and horses, and is the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses.
However, Di Xin's succession to the throne has hidden dangers.
At this time, in the Shang Dynasty, the reform of the ancestral rite system had been gradually completed, and the succession to the throne by the eldest had replaced the elder brother and became the mainstream. Therefore, although Weizi Qi is the eldest son of Di Yi and is born to the same mother as Di Xin, because his mother was still low when he gave birth to Weizi, Weizi is a concubine. Then his mother was the queen, and he was born, so he was born. This is the so-called "son of wife" and "son of concubine" in Taishi. Di Xin's accession to the throne, Wei Ziqi was naturally dissatisfied. And this Weizi Qi is known as a virtuous person, and there are many of his friends. Therefore, the micron faction has always opposed the emperor.
In addition, since Pangeng, the Shang nobles have become increasingly difficult to control the centrifugal detachment from Germany, and the Shang Emperor's shrine, administration, and military are difficult to spread, so when the emperor Zujia is in time, the nobles are abolished, and the monarchy is centralized and the power of the royal family is increased. However, under the influence of the social reality of the Shang Dynasty with the clan as the basic organizational unit of society, the power of the aristocracy was still difficult to suppress. And the nobles all have their own power, and the Shang Emperor is difficult to uproot. Therefore, the strong forces of the Shang Emperor can be suppressed, and once the Shang Emperor is a little weaker, they will go their own way, and there will be a miasma. Therefore, since Emperor Wuding, the Shang Dynasty was "the king of sages and sages six or seven", and most of the time the Shang Emperor was a strong force. However, when Di Xin succeeded to the throne, due to the division of the royal family and the madness of the Weizi faction, these nobles were also ready to move.
Under such circumstances, the central Shang Dynasty had lost its ability to control the surrounding princes. The princes and uncles rebelled from time to time, harassed and attacked from time to time, especially Dongyi, who was repeatedly coated in Wang Ji and plundered. Dongyi was originally an ally of the Shang Dynasty, but although there was a discord in the future, it was not a big harm. But since the martial arts of the emperor Wu Ding punished the big Fang Bo Peng. After Fenwei, there was no one to control Dongyi. Although Wu Ding was obedient, it left hidden dangers for later generations of Shang emperors. Emperor Wuding can be said to have destroyed the Great Wall for a moment of anger. Therefore, the six or seven emperors and the southeast are restless. From Emperor Wuding to Emperor Xin, the use of troops against Dongyi has not stopped. In the west, the Zhou people have grown since the time of Emperor Wu Yi.
Even so, Di Xin was still very effective after succeeding to the throne. He worked hard to govern the country, revitalize the business state, benefit the people, and glorify the emperor. He abolished the old system of killing slaves and allowed slaves to engage in agriculture, animal husbandry and handicraft production, creating wealth for the country. At this time, the human race still eats with his hands, and Di Xin thinks that this is both inconvenient and unhygienic, so he made two thin sticks out of wood, which are used to clamp the food and send it to his mouth, and he thinks it is good, so he let everyone in the palace eat like this.
Later, when a minister saw that Di Xin was eating in this way, he imitated it, and found that it was very good, so he asked his family to follow suit. Later, this thing was transmitted to the people through the servants of the minister's family, and the people heard that this thing was used today, so they rushed to imitate it, and slowly, this thing was convenient for the people to popularize, and also indirectly reduced the contact between the human race and the virus, so that many human races were spared from disease, but it was also a merit.
Di Xin also changed the production mode of slash-and-burn farming, implemented large-scale collective production, began to use ploughing cattle, and popularized complete agricultural farming techniques such as ploughing and sowing, fertilizing soil, irrigation and drainage, so that the country's agricultural production developed rapidly. The Shang Dynasty reappeared in the prosperous era again, the people's life was stable, and the princes of the four seas were in service, and they were deeply loved by the people.
In order to show the strength of the country, Emperor Xin built three city walls in Chaoge, of which the imperial city wall is 50 zhang wide at the base, about 3 zhang high, and 4 zhang wide at the top. The outer ring is a city seven zhang wide and two zhang deep. The area of the second city wall is more than a square mile, and the distance from the south gate to the north gate of the third city wall is 45 li, which reflects the style of a large country with a thousand miles of Banggi at that time. At that time, Dongyi often invaded the land of Yin Shang, harassing and plundering the common people, from Wuding to Emperor Yi, although they were crusaded many times, they were not completely subdued. In order to subdue the disturbance of the southeastern Yi, Di Xin changed the conquest method of the former emperor Di Yi and paid attention to the strategy of using troops.
Emperor Xing was eloquent and talented, and ordered all the princes of the world to select elite warriors, led by Huang Feihu, to enter Li to conduct large-scale drills to show Dongyi his strong strength, so that Dongyi no longer dared to act rashly in the face of the powerful Yin Shang Dynasty. In order to expand the territory, Emperor Xing also sent Taishi Wen Zhong and Wucheng King Huang Feihu to lead troops to conquer all directions, so that the territory area continued to expand. In the end, the four Yi were obedient, and the guests from all directions obeyed.
A few years later, the princes of 800 towns were all in business, among which there were 800 small princes led by the big princes of the four roads, and the princes of the four roads were: Jiang Huan Chu of the East Bohou, Echongyu of the South, Ji Chang of the West Bohou, and Chonghou Hu of the North Bohou. The princes of each town lead 200 small princes of the towns, and a total of 800 princes of the towns belong to merchants. Di Xin enjoys peace, all the people are happy, the wind and rain are smooth, and the country is peaceful and peaceful.
There is a proverb among the people: "Emperor Xin Jiangshan is like an iron bucket." ”
