Chapter 117: The Flying Bear Visits the Virtuous Minister in a Dream
Looking at the familiar grass and trees in Xiqi, Ji Chang couldn't help but sigh with emotion, slowly moved his steps towards Xiqi City, and suddenly stopped and said to Lei Zhenzi: "My son, let's fly directly to the house!" This is because Ji Chang was afraid that Lei Zhenzi's appearance would scare the people of Xiqi, but it was not good to explain it to Lei Zhenzi directly, after all, Lei Zhenzi became like this completely to save himself.
Lei Zhenzi's mind was so delicate, and in a blink of an eye, he understood Ji Chang's worries, and said with a slight smile: "Father, please look!" After speaking, he turned into a seven or eight-year-old boy, with red lips and white teeth, and clear eyebrows!
Seeing this, Ji Chang was shocked and said, "I didn't expect my son to have such magical powers?"
Hearing this, Lei Zhenzi explained: "Don't blame the father, this is the true face of the child!"
Ji Chang was overjoyed when he heard this, and the father and son walked to Xiqi City together, during which they asked for two bowls of noodle soup in a small restaurant outside the city, because they had no money to pay the bill, so they had to say that they were Xibohou Ji Chang who had returned from the catastrophe.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly sent his men to the city to report. In a moment, all the civil and military forces went out of the city under the leadership of Ji Fa to greet them, and Ji Chang's wife, Taiji, couldn't wait impatiently and went with everyone to meet her husband.
Seeing that Xi Bohou really returned safely, everyone couldn't help but be full of joy, and when Xi Bohou introduced Lei Zhenzi to everyone, Tai Ji was even more excited, pulling Lei Zhenzi to look left and right, and was overjoyed.
Suddenly, Tai Ji remembered that the master had returned, why he didn't see his eldest son Bo Yi Kao, so he hurriedly searched in the crowd, and after a fruitless search, he had to speak: "Master, why don't you see my son Bo Yi Kao returning with the master!"
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, it turned out that everyone had already known the news that the eldest prince was killed by Daji, and now they were just hiding it from Taiji and Tairen.
When Ji Chang heard this, he suddenly felt a tumbling in his abdomen, and spit out three meatballs, which tumbled after falling to the ground, but they turned into three jade rabbits, jumped into the woods on the side of the road, and disappeared.
Seeing the disappeared Jade Rabbit, Ji Chang suddenly covered his heart, shouted "Kill me", and then fainted, everyone saw this and hurriedly woke up Xibohou, and then did not dare to say more, silently helped Ji Chang into the carriage and walked towards the city.
After entering the city, there was a doctor who helped Ji Chang with the decoction, but Ji Chang was seriously ill and could not recover in a short period of time, but fortunately, with Lei Zhenzi by his side, he gradually let go of the sorrow in his heart.
After more than a month, Ji Chang finally began to govern the court, and when the civil and military officials finished congratulating, Ji Chang sighed and said: "Lone has been imprisoned for seven years, and he returned safely today. ”
"Erlai Zhenguo Wu became Wang Dade, and sent the bronze talisman to be released from the customs. I don't want Yin and Lei Er to chase after Gong by order, so that the lonely force is exhausted and there is nothing to do. The most relied on my son Lei Zhenzi to persuade the pursuers to retreat, and he went out of the five levels, so that the lonely man could return to his homeland, and his flesh and blood were together. ”
Many of the ministers had seen Lei Zhenzi's appearance, and they were all surprised when they heard the words, thinking about how the little child could persuade the pursuers to retreat and pass the five levels of King Wen, and at that moment, the senior doctor San Yisheng asked: "Since Di Xin ordered the arrest of the prince, how can there be no generals to stop the five passes, and the prince and his son can get out of the pass?"
King Wen smiled when he heard this: "I don't know, don't look at my son who is only seven years old at the moment, but he is deep in the true transmission of the Zhongnan Mountain Cloud Zhongzi Dao Chang, and he can turn into a giant with four feet tall and two wings. Lei Zhenzi flew out of the five levels with his lonely family on his back and returned to Xiqi together. ’
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly knelt down and said: "The lord is blessed, and the gods and spirits come down from the sky to help!" Then there was San Yisheng who spoke: "The lord's virtue runs through the world, benevolence and distribution in all directions, and the people all look at it. The ministers have turned against the four hundred princes in the world, and it is expected that the song will soon belong to others. ......”
Before San Yisheng's voice fell, he saw the general Nangong Shi speak: "Today, the king has returned to his homeland, and it is appropriate to lead the Xiqi male soldiers to kill the five passes, behead the demon woman, abolish the faint king, avenge the revenge of the eldest prince's corpse, and set up another lord to vent the anger of the world." ”
Although Ji Chang has the heart to oppose business, but also knows that the heart of the big merchant army is not in turmoil, there is no lack of generals in the army who can recruit and fight, although Xiqi has 400,000 soldiers, but it is still not the opponent of the big business, and he pretended to be displeased, expressed his loyalty to the big business, and reprimanded the two.
How could the two of them understand Ji Chang's thoughts, and immediately saw Nangong Shi retorting: "The eldest prince entered the treasure and atone for his father's sins, and there is no fault, how could he be killed by the demon woman? ”
Ji Chang was sad when he heard this, but he had to continue: "Before leaving, I said to Zhuzi Wenwu that Lone should have a disaster for seven years, and you can't send a soldier or a pawn to greet you. Bo Yi did not follow his father's teachings, and when he did not obey the heavens, he suffered this calamity. Although the Son of Heaven is reckless, the princes of the world have their own public opinions, and the secretaries do not need to say much. ”
Nangong Shi and San Yisheng had to pause and thank them when they heard this, and retreated to the side. Only then did Ji Chang continue: "I want to build a spiritual platform in the south of Xiqi City to pray for the blessings of the people, but I am afraid of hurting the people, I don't know what the people want?"
Hearing this, San Yisheng came out of the class again and said: "The king built this spiritual platform to pray for the blessings of the people, not for amusement, how can he hurt the people? If the king refuses to use the people's power lightly, he can give two coins to the ICBC every day, and let the people do as they please!" King Wen was overjoyed when he heard this, and ordered San Yisheng to preside over the construction of the spiritual platform, and secretly ordered Nangong to train soldiers and horses.
......
After more than 20 days, before the Lingtai was built, Lei Zhenzi came to say goodbye to Ji Chang, Ji Chang heard the difference on his face, and immediately asked: "Why did my son give up for his father!"
Lei Zhenzi hurriedly knelt down and explained: "Father doesn't know, the child is here to save his father, before leaving, the master once said, you must not be greedy for red dust and wealth, after a month, you must return, now the next month has come, but the child should return to Zhongnan Mountain." ”
Ji Chang had no choice but to set up a banquet in the main hall, so that the princes and hundreds of officials came to see each other, after three rounds of wine, Lei Zhenzi went out of the class to Ji Chang and Taiji knelt down and said: "The child will go to Zhongnan Mountain to learn art, and then come to his parents to be filial piety after the art is full!" After that, he turned to Ji Fa and said: "I also hope that the brothers will be filial piety in front of their parents on behalf of the younger brother, and the younger brother is grateful!" Ji Fa and others hurriedly agreed.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Lei Zhenzi hugged his fist slightly at everyone, shook his body, and showed two wings of wind and thunder, flew into the sky and disappeared. Everyone was shocked when they saw this, but it was only at this time that they believed King Wen's words.
......
More than ten days later, the Lingtai was completed, King Wen and all the civil and military members set up a banquet on the spiritual platform, the monarch and the ministers enjoyed together, and the Wenwu rested under the stage that night.
King Wen slept until the third watch, and suddenly saw a white-fronted tiger appear in the southeast, with wings on his wings, and pounced on himself, King Wen screamed left and right, only to hear a loud sound behind the stage, and the fire rushed into the sky, and then woke up from the dream.
The next day, all the civil and military officers came to the stage to consult and finished, and then King Wen spoke: "Where is my son Ji Dan?" Ji Dan hurriedly went out of class to greet him when he heard this: "The son is here!"
King Wen saw Ji Dan step forward, and then said slowly: "Lonely tonight, the third watch has a different dream, I dreamed that there was a white-fronted tiger in the southeast with wings, and rushed to the tent, lonely and anxious left and right, only to see Taitai fire in the sky, was woken up by a loud sound, I don't know what the owner of this dream is?"
Hearing this, Ji Dan hurriedly bowed down and congratulated: "Congratulations to my father, this dream is a good omen, my father should be the minister of the pillars, and he will not let the right of Yiyin, the queen of the wind." ”
King Wen was already a little convinced in his heart when he heard this, but he said again: "How can you see it?"
Ji Dan heard the words and explained: "In the past, Shang Gaozong once had a flying bear into a dream, and it was said that it was between the versions. Now the Lord dreams of the tiger and gives birth to two wings, and it is a bear. The fire behind the stage is the image of fire. Today, the West belongs to gold, and when gold sees fire, it will become a great weapon. This is a great omen for the prosperity of Zhou, so the sons are especially pleased to congratulate. ”
After hearing this, the officials congratulated him, and then returned to Xiqi with King Wen, but he saw a woodcutter outside the south gate who had killed the gate army, and immediately sent someone to ask: "What is the name of the woodcutter?" Why did you kill Wang Xiang?"
When the woodcutter heard this, he hurriedly replied, "The villain's name is Bukit, and when he saw the king coming, the road was narrow, so he changed the firewood on his shoulder, and accidentally injured the king." ”
When King Wen heard this, he immediately sentenced: "Since Wu Ji killed the king, he should resist his fate." ”
Hearing this, Wu Ji cried loudly: "The villain mistakenly beat Wang Xiang to death, and he should pay for his life." It's just that the villain has a mother who is more than 70 years old, and the villain has no brother or brother, and it is expected that after the villain dies, the mother will not survive, so I implore the prince to let the villain go home for three days, and after the villain settles his mother, he will come to accept the guilt!"
King Wen nodded when he heard this: "In this case, I will let you go back to settle the old mother, and three days later, you will personally go to the government to confess the crime and correct the law of the country." Then he ordered his entourage to give Bukit two silver taels to help him settle his old mother.
When Wu Ji heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you for your great kindness." Then he rushed home, bowed down to his mother, and said, "Mother! If the child does not take the test, he can no longer serve his mother. Then he told his mother about it.
When the martial mother heard that her son had been sued for his life, she was so frightened that her soul was not possessed, she choked up on Wu Ji's sad voice, and sighed to the sky: "My son is loyal for half his life, and his filial mother is filial, so no one can save my son's life." ”
When Wu Ji's eyes lit up when he heard this, he hurriedly said, "The child went to Panxi in the morning with firewood, and saw an old man fishing with a rod in his hand and a needle tied to the line, fishing there. The old man said, 'It is better to take it from the straight than to ask for it from the curve, not for the scales, but for the prince.' The child laughed at him, you also want to be a prince, and your face is not a prince, but a living monkey. The old man looked at the child and said, 'I don't think you have a good face.' The old man said to the child, 'The left eye is blue and the right eye is red, and he will be killed today.' "The child really killed the king today. The old man was like a god, and he wanted to save the child's life. ”
When Wu Mu heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What is the old man's surname?"
Wu Ji hurriedly replied: "That old man's surname is Jiang Mingshang, and his road name is Feixiong." ”
Hearing this, Wu Mu hurriedly said: "This person has both a Taoist name and is good at looking at appearances, he must be a hermit master, my son hurried to ask for help, and he will definitely be able to escape with his life." ”
When Wu Ji heard this, he felt that it was reasonable, and hurriedly went to Panxi for help, but this time he was directly accepted by Jiang Shang as a disciple, taught Wen Tao Wuxue, and helped him escape death.
......
Three days have passed in a blink of an eye, but Bukit is gone and never returned, and immediately a government official reported to Sanyisheng's place, Sanyisheng did not dare to slack off, and entered the inner court to see King Wen.
Seeing that Bukit was untrustworthy, King Wen was displeased, and immediately took out the money to divinate Bukit's whereabouts, and after a while, he sighed and said, "Bukit has died by throwing himself into a deep pool. ”
Everyone was convinced of King Wen's hexagram, and no one ever mentioned Bukit's matter since then.
Time flies, in the blink of an eye is a few months, one day King Wen and all the civil and military went to the southern suburbs to go green, between the lines, only to see a person carrying a load of firewood to sing: "The spring water is leisurely and the spring grass is strange, the goldfish has not met the hidden stream; ”
King Wen and Wenwu immediately heard the singing very strangely, and hurriedly ordered Xin Jia to invite him to meet him. Xinjia received the order and went to invite the woodcutter to come.
When the woodcutter saw that it was King Wen in front of him, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and was silent.
King Wen looked at it carefully in surprise, and suddenly said with a red face: "How dare you bully the orphans, how did you escape the old man's acquired gossip, and you didn't invite it quickly!" Wu Ji had no choice but to confess Jiang Ziya.
When San Yisheng heard the humane number flying bear, he thought to himself: "Isn't this person the person in the king's dream!" So he immediately bowed down and congratulated: "Congratulations to the king! I hope that the king will pardon Bukit's innocence and ask him to go to Lin to invite the wise men to meet him. ”
Wu Ji kowtowed, and hurriedly went to the forest to look for Jiang Shang, but only his mother Ma was at home, and then saw San Yisheng enter the forest with King Wen, and asked, "Is the Magi here?"
Wu Ji had no choice but to reply: "Master went out to visit friends, I don't know when I will return, only my wife is at home." ”
San Yisheng listened to it clearly, and explained at the moment: "The minister enlightens the lord! Seek talents and recruit talents, and be pious; The lord and please drive back for the time being, when Mu Yu fasts in the coming day, and chooses an auspicious day to welcome the hiring, it is a gift of respect. ”
When King Wen heard this, he suddenly realized, "What the doctor said is very true!" and then explained a few words to Wu Ji, and led the people to return to the court. When he returned to the city, he instructed the hundred officials not to return to their respective palaces, but to stay in the palace for three days, and go together to welcome the great sage.
Everyone fasted for three days, and on the fourth day, King Wen bathed and dressed up, and led hundreds of civil and military officials to Panxi to welcome Ziya. For a while, the sheng spring was full of roads, and he actually went out of Xiqi, I don't know how many people were alarmed, and they helped the old and the young to come to see Yingxian.
Half a day later, King Wen and Ziya drove back in Luan. King Wen ascended to the palace, sealed Ziya as the prime minister of the Western Zhou Dynasty, set up a banquet in the side hall, and the hundred officials congratulated each other on drinking, and then let people build a prime minister's house for Ziya, and entrusted all the things of the Western Zhou Dynasty to Ziya.
At this time, Ziya was already eighty years old, and had a son with Ma, called Lu Ling. This is because Jiang Shangnai is a descendant of Lu Guo, but this time he has a son to restore his nature, so he does not take the surname Jiang, but calls him Lu Ling.
Xiqi worships the prime minister, what a big deal, a few days later, there was news into the five passes, Han Rong of Bishui Pass did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported Jiang Shangxiangzhou's matter to the court.
