Xiqi, Xibohou Fuzhong. ＋

＋

Ji Chang's ninety-nine sons all gathered in the main hall, and Ji Chang's mother Taijiang and Ji Chang's concubine Taiji sat at the top. San Yisheng on the side took out the secret note given to him by Ji Fa and respectfully handed it to Tai Ji.

Tai Ji opened the letter and handed it to Tai Jiang to read first, Tai Jiang glanced at it, his face changed suddenly, and when Tai Ji looked at it again, he also frowned tightly, and motioned to San Yisheng to recite the content.

The general content of the letter is: It is very likely that something earth-shattering will happen in this court, if Ji Chang is safe and sound, if he can't return or even encounter misfortune, Xiqi must not act rashly or start a sword war. The eldest son Bo Yi Kao acted as the Xi Bo Hou, the main big and small things, the second son Ji Fa assisted, the civil affairs and internal affairs for the scattered Yisheng, the military garrison for the Nangong Shi, if you do not decide a major matter, you must ask Tai Ji and Tai Jiang to decide. Brothers must be united and fraternal, and if there is a private fight, they will be severely punished.

After listening to Ji Chang's letter, everyone looked different, Bo Yi Kao learned that his father could not come back and even his life was in danger, he was very anxious, Ji Fa heard that his brother was acting as Xi Bohou, there was nothing on the surface, but there was a trace of unwillingness in his eyes, and among the rest of the sons, there were also some people who showed dissatisfaction. Tai Ji saw it in her eyes, and the worry on her face became even stronger,

To the schadenfreude of these people, the good days of the "Daixi Bohou" of Bo Yi Kao came to an end not long after. As predicted in Ji Changxin, a major event happened in Chaoge that shocked the Son of Heaven, Yue Wang Qi used his mother Xin Jichen to collude with Nan Bohou to rebel, and the Son of Heaven was suddenly killed and injured by a mysterious assassin during the chaos, if it were not for God's blessing, he would have died. Except for the Northern Bohou Chonghou Hu's secret report, the other three princes were all involved in this incident. One of the masterminds of the rebellion, Nanbohou Echongyu, was sentenced to death and chopped into pulp; Jiang Huanchu, the Eastern Bohou who was forced to be a thief, was stripped of his territory; and Xibohou Jichang was suspected of assassination and imprisoned by the Son of Heaven and was not allowed to be released until the truth was ascertained.

Originally, Ji Chang's imprisonment was enough to give Xiqi a headache, and the news that the Son of Heaven had named Taibo and Zhong Yong as "Pingxi Hou" was like a blow to the head. If this Pingxi Hou is an outsider, but Taibo, Zhongyong and Ji Chang are brothers, and it is Ji Chang's clan rule, even if Xiqi wants to find Shutui, there is no suitable excuse. Tai Ji urgently summoned all the sons to discuss, and Ji Chang's sons also knew that now was not the time for infighting, and they expressed their willingness to work together to face this difficulty together.

Taibo and Zhongyong were squeezed out by Ji Chang and forced to leave Xiqi and go away, but now they are "favored" by the Son of Heaven, and they are considered to have returned to their hometowns in fine clothes, and they are naturally proud. The two came to Xiqi with a group of people and horses with the envoy of the court, and after the envoy read the holy decree to the ministers of Xiqi, Taibo and Zhongyong officially took office. Taibo is the Zuoping Xihou, in charge of internal affairs, and Zhongyong is the Youping Xihou, in charge of the military. Tai Bo and Zhong Yong are not rookies after all, they will bring their relatives to important positions, and use some of the old ministries of the year to gradually control the power completely, for a while, the two sides are fighting openly and secretly, and they are very busy, Zhang Zixing, who got the news, naturally showed a knowing smile.

At this time, Huang Feihu, who had quelled the rebellion in the East China Sea, finally came with good news, thanks to the help of Zheng Lun and the Gao brothers, Huang Feihu won a great victory in the final decisive battle, and captured the king of Pingling and other traitors, pacified the East China Sea, and returned to the dynasty.

And E Chongyu's son E Shun learned that his father's rebellion was sentenced to death, immediately proclaimed himself the marquis of the south, and began to unite the surrounding small princes to raise troops to rebel, although it is still only to annex those southern princes who are unwilling to rebel together, but Zhang Zixing did not dare to relax his vigilance, so that Deng Jiugong of Sanshan Pass was strictly guarded, and transported a large number of war materials to Sanshan Pass, and at the same time issued an order, let Chonghou Hu point all the soldiers and horses, carry Bai Huang Yue, and go to the south to crusade against the traitor Eshun.

Chonghou Hu had already received Zhang Zixing's orders, and immediately united with his younger brother Caozhou Hou Chongheihu again, transferred a large army, and prepared to go south to conquer Eshun.

Soon, Huang Feihu's squad returned to the dynasty and brought back the captured King Pingling, Zhang Zixing was overjoyed, ordered to reward the three armies, and announced that Huang Feihu and other meritorious ministers went to the palace. Huang Feihu, the king of Zhenguo Wucheng, led Hong Jin, Zheng Lun, Gao Ming, Gao Jue, and Ji Kang to the nine halls together, and bowed three times and knocked nine times.

Huang Feihu first pleaded guilty to the Son of Heaven, saying that he was ineffective in the battle and lost a lot of soldiers and horses, but fortunately, the Son of Heaven sent reinforcements to successfully quell the chaos. Zhang Zixing naturally laughed at his plea, Huang Feihu did not take credit, and praised the merits of the generals under his command, especially Hong Jin's Taoism and the supernatural powers of several reinforcements later. It turned out that there were two generals under King Pingling, who were skilled in martial arts and skilled in channel skills, very powerful, and had mutual victories and defeats with the Shang army, and the two armies had been in a stalemate. Later, Zheng Lun, Gao Ming, and Gao Jue came, and with Gao Ming's clairvoyance and ears, the merchant army penetrated the enemy's situation and took the lead everywhere. In the end, Zheng Lun captured the enemy general Fang Wei with the white light in his nose, while Ji Kang and Gao Ming Gao Jue worked together to capture the enemy general Gao Jineng, and Hong Jin captured the king of Pingling alive with the technique of Qimen. Since then, the rebellion of King Pingling has finally been put down.

Huang Feihu did not mention his own merits at all, only expressed the merits of the generals under his command, and Hong Jin and others all respected the character of this commander. The feelings between comrades-in-arms are always the most sincere, in these days of living and dying together, even the demon clan such as Gao Ming and Gao Jue also feel an unprecedented fulfillment in the life of the military, Huang Feihu is approachable, fair and selfless, and the generals are very close to each other, and have formed a deep relationship.

When Zhang Zixing heard the two enemy generals who were captured, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

In the original book, Kong Xuan's subordinates had extremely ordinary mana, and the magic weapon was a centipede bag, which could release piles of centipedes to interfere with the enemy, biting the eye of Huang Tianhua's mount Jade Qilin, and Huang Tianhua was turned upside down and accidentally died in Gao Jineng's hands. In terms of martial arts, Gao Jineng surpassed mana, and later fought with Huang Feihu and his four brothers for a long time, and was finally defeated and killed. According to the original book, this person should be the general of Dashang, why did he go to King Pingling's side?

Judging from Huang Feihu's description, this person is good at arson, Taoism is far superior to Gao Jineng, and he is the most powerful person under King Pingling.

When it came to Hong Jin, Zhang Zixing couldn't help but look at him for a while, this future chief soldier of Sanshan Pass was born with a dignified appearance, but he was a little white-faced.

This Hong Jin should be a sect leader, proficient in the flag gate and escape arts, mana can only be regarded as ordinary in the gods, but the luck is amazingly good, this time it is nothing to capture the traitor leader Pingling King alive, this person actually married Princess Longji, the daughter of Haotian God in the book. The Yellow Emperor once said that among the four spirit qi, the most difficult thing to get is the fairy spirit qi, and Princess Longji is bound to win it in Zhang Zixing's plan, and Hong Jin must not be allowed to have any variables.

Killing Hong Jin is not good, Hong Jin is one of the greatest heroes of the East China Sea counterinsurgency, how can he be killed for no reason to convince the public? Moreover, Hong Jin is now a general of the Great Shang and is also one of the combat forces in the hands of Zhang Zixing, and even someone with different ambitions like Fei Lian has a lot of use value, so wouldn't it be a pity to kill him like this?

Zhang Zixing thought about it for a long time and rewarded Hong Jin, who captured the first evil in this counterinsurgency. In order to meet the needs of development, during the reform of the military system that year, he referred to the title of general of the Three Kingdoms and applied it to the military system of the Great Shang. Hong Jin got the title of General Pingyu this time, which is equivalent to about three grades, which is already a very thick gift, but what surprised Hong Jin is still behind - the Son of Heaven praised him for his young and heroic martial arts, asked him if he was married, and when he learned that he was still single, he was willing to be the big matchmaker, and specially matched the princess of the clan Bao Yan to him, Bao Yan is the daughter of the emperor's uncle Jizi, beautiful and virtuous, Hong Jin is infinitely happy, and he is grateful to the Son of Heaven.

Because Bao Yan is the princess of the clan, Hong Jin belongs to the nature of the low-level and high-level "door-to-door son-in-law", so according to the clan etiquette, Hong Jin is not allowed to remarry except for the princess and the concubine who has been married.

After cutting off Hong Jin's back road to marry Princess Longji, Zhang Zixing settled down and rewarded the rest of the meritorious ministers one by one, although the generals envied Hong Jin, but they were also convinced, who made the family lucky and caught the rebel leader King Pingling?

Subsequently, the Son of Heaven led hundreds of civil and military officials to feast on the heroes of the Eastern Expedition in the Xianqing Palace, until they dispersed.

Not everyone can be like Su Hu, there is a daughter who may affect the entire Fengshen Killing, so for the disposal of King Pingling, it is natural to kill a hundred people, as for Gao Jineng and Fang Wei, Zhang Zixing is moved to solicit.

Considering the causal relationship in the book, Zhang Zixing took Kong Xuan and personally went to the prison to surrender.

Gao Jineng did not hesitate to accompany the rebellion in order to repay the kindness of King Pingling back then, and now he is captured, and he will die, but he did not expect that the Son of Heaven would personally come to recruit him, a traitor. In this era, the idea of loyalty to the monarch is still quite heavy, and Gao Ji can be grateful and willing to swear allegiance to the death, but Kong Xuan has no place to use.

Due to Fang Wei's Taoist skills, Hong Jin, who had fought with him many times, did not dare to be careless, not only tied it very tightly, but also suppressed it with charms along the way, making him unconscious. Kong Xuan stretched out his hand and pointed, the power of the spell suddenly dissipated, and Fang Wei slowly opened his eyes.

"Who are you?" Fang Wei exerted a little force, and the rope turned into ashes, and he jumped up, quickly scanned the surroundings, and immediately understood his situation.

Gao Jineng was about to open his mouth to say Zhang Zixing's identity, when he heard Kong Xuan snort coldly, and Fang Wei staggered back a few steps as if someone had punched him in the chest, relying on the support of the wall behind him to not fall.

Gao Ji was taken aback, he knew Fang Wei's magical powers, and now the elegant man beside the Son of Heaven just snorted, which made Fang Wei suffer a big loss, how powerful this should be!

Fang Wei also looked shocked, knowing that the difference in strength between himself and the other party was too huge, where did he dare to act rashly.

"Just a human-faced owl, dare to be presumptuous in front of me!" Kong Xuan revealed Fang Wei's true body with one sentence, which made him even more frightened.

Gao Jineng hurriedly said: "General Fang can't be reckless, when the Son of Heaven is here, come and pay respects." ”

Fang Wei was shocked when he heard that the Son of Heaven was coming, but he glanced at Kong Xuan, he was really afraid, he didn't dare to move lightly, and bowed down to Zhang Zixing: "The guilty minister Fang Wei sees Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Zixing nodded, ignored it, and instructed the attendants: "Lead General Gao down to bathe and change clothes, so that you can entertain yourself, and you must not be dismissive." ”

The chamberlain received the order and left with Gao Jineng. Zhang Zixing said to Fang Wei at this time: "Since General Fang knows that he is guilty, why did he rebel with King Pingling in the first place?"

Fang Wei smiled bitterly: "The sinner is an owl demon who has attained the Tao, and he originally practiced in the mountains, but because his heart is so active, it is difficult to achieve the immortal path, so he went out of the mountains and traveled all over the world." I met King Pingling in the East China Sea, valued my talents, and was named a general, in order to repay this kindness, so I followed it. ”

Zhang Zixing called up some information about the ancient demon beasts in his super brain in his consciousness, found the human-faced owl, and asked Kong Xuan: "Brother Xian, the human-faced owl you said is shaped like an owl with a human face, a pheasant body and a dog tail, and now it has a sign of drought?"

Kong Xuan knew that he was knowledgeable, and nodded: "Brother Huang is not bad. ”

Fang Wei crouched on the ground, not daring to move, and cold sweat broke out: it was still reasonable for the man with unfathomable strength to see through his true body, and the Son of Heaven actually told his details in a few words, and it was not bad at all, it seems that the Son of Heaven is indeed as rumored, with unpredictable abilities, no wonder even the man with great magical powers calls him the imperial brother.

Zhang Zixing sneered: "Since you have the merit of drought, no wonder Hong Jin said that your flame technique is powerful, but I don't know, how are you better than that ancient drought goddess?"

"That drought is an ancient goddess, with vast magical powers, how can the little demon be compared?" Fang Wei suddenly thought that the Son of Heaven had told the world that the female demon had been eliminated for the sake of the great drought, and he couldn't help but sweat wet his robe: "Your Majesty, although the little demon has the power of drought, it is not the god of calamity, and it will never interfere with the world, the little demon is willing to make meritorious contributions, serve Your Majesty, and swear allegiance to the death!"

Zhang Zixing and Kong Xuan looked at each other and smiled, and said: "You owl demon is also clever, but you first betrayed my great business, and now you have rebelled against the Spirit King, who can guarantee that you will not rebel again in the future?"

Fang Wei was speechless for a while, Kong Xuan knew Zhang Zixing's intentions, and shouted: "Hand over your natal soul, you can spare your life!"

Fang Wei knew that this was his last chance to live, so he hurriedly sacrificed his natal soul, and to his surprise, it was not Kong Xuan who accepted the natal soul, but the Son of Heaven. Judging from the Son of Heaven's method of storing the natal soul and the power he exuded intentionally or unintentionally, at least it was also an immortal cultivation, and he couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself that he saw the opportunity early, otherwise he would have turned into ashes early.

What satisfied Zhang Zixing was that Fang Wei was flexible and scheming, and he was a good talent. Because he mastered his natal soul, he was not afraid of his backbite, and immediately passed "The Art of War" and "Thirty-six Strategies" to Fang Wei, who originally liked treachery, and was overjoyed and grateful at the moment.

After the successful surrender, Zhang Zixing summoned Wen Taishi and discussed it for a long time before returning to the palace to rest.
