Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

King Wu Cheng spoke his mind on behalf of his own monarch, "Don't worry about this, the doctor. The so-called divination results will be used as a reference by the court, but they will not do things solely based on divination."

As soon as King Wu Cheng finished speaking, he immediately annoyed the high priest.Isn't this going to deprive oneself of the importance of speaking in court?Originally, the emperor asked Jiang Shang to divination first, which already annoyed him, but now this sentence adds fuel to the fire.

"King Wu Cheng, you are slandering divination. How can the court act and succeed without asking good or bad luck?"

Huang Feihu would not be shy when facing the high priest.

"Your Majesty is ordered by the heavens to act according to the way of heaven. Even if you seek blessings and avoid disasters, the heavens are willing to take pity on you. Or if you use divination, do you stop doing things if you find out that it is evil?"

The high priest said bitterly: "The result of divination is fierce, so naturally we have to avoid it."

"Dongyi has a habit of robbing merchants, can the high priest teach me a way to avoid them?"

Huang Feihu questioned the high priest.

"It's hard for them to take a step closer to Shang, so we should withdraw the merchants?"

The high priest's face changed with anger, "You are making the avoidance absolute. Dongyi invaded the merchants, and the emperor led the army to resist, which is to avoid the disaster of robbery that the merchants said they encountered."

King Wu Cheng suddenly realized: "It turns out that fighting Dongyi with guns and spears is also to avoid the disaster of Dongyi robbery."

"According to the words of the high priest, if you encounter disaster, you will get rid of it. How can you use divination?"

The high priest looked at the emperor sitting on the high platform, and knew in his heart that the emperor was impatient to ask about everything and himself.From the time of Emperor Yi, the opportunities for priests to speak in the court began to decrease.Now here, the big decision-making is almost arbitrary by the Son of Heaven, which makes the priests less and less status.

"Your Majesty, divination is good or bad when something happens, and if it comes out, it will be bad. If you do small things, you should avoid doing them, and you must be cautious about big things."

"Understood. People who act rashly should go to divination for everything. People who act cautiously should be careful about big and small things anyway, so it doesn't matter whether they do divination or not."

"No. Your Majesty. Divination is respect for the ghosts and gods of the heavens and the earth. Under the guidance of the ghosts and gods of the heavens and the earth, seek blessings and avoid disasters."

Well, this is someone who doesn't listen to what others say, and only sticks to his own ideas.

Lu Xiong came out and asked: "Respecting the ghosts and gods in the world, can you turn evil into good luck? Can misfortune become blessing?"

The high priest nodded quickly, applauding endlessly.

King Wucheng drew his sword, "The high priest respects the ghosts and gods in the world the most. This king will kill you now. Do you have a way to turn evil into good luck?"

King Wu Cheng's sword pressed against the high priest's chest.

The high priest was also a man of Taoism, and when he saw this, he was about to fight King Wu Cheng, but the pressure of the inexplicable majesty made him bend his waist and kneel down.

The tip of Wu Chengwang's sword was pointed in front of his eyes.

The high priest was so frightened that he couldn't avoid it and asked the emperor for help.

"Your Majesty, King Wu Cheng wants to kill his subjects for no reason, please help your Majesty."

Di Xin looked at it with a smile, and said to King Wu Cheng: "It seems that no matter how much you respect the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, it is still useful to ask the emperor for help. King Wu Cheng, you see, the high priest has already understood my ghosts and gods in the world. Above, you can let the high priest go for now."

King Wu Cheng is the only person in the court who can go up to court with a sword.When the emperor spoke, he immediately withdrew his sword, clasped his fists at the emperor and returned to his original position.

Jiang Shang was a little confused. Since the Son of Heaven didn't believe in the high priest, why did he have to do his own divination, and based on the results of his own fortune-telling, instead of going to Xiqi for investigation, he called for the king of Xibo to come to Chaoge to defend himself?

After the disintegration of the dynasty, Emperor Xin retained Huang Feihu, king of Wucheng, and Jiang Ziya, the next doctor.

"Xiqi conquered the dog army without authorization. He is a vassal, but he disrespects the court. Sir, please tell me how to deal with Xiqi first?"

Jiang Ziya immediately fell into the embarrassment of telling the result of divination again.

"My doctor, the state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. If Xiqi is not dealt with, the princes of the eight hundred towns in the world will learn from it, is it possible?"

Jiang Ziya shook his head subconsciously, "No. The court must punish Uncle Xichang severely, so that the other princes will be afraid and dare not go one step further."

Immediately after he blurted out these words, he became frustrated.This... How can I say that I want the emperor to punish Uncle Xichang.

The emperor applauded.

"Your doctor really understands the principles and the law, knows the key points of world governance, and has the talent of a general."

King Wu Cheng immediately congratulated Emperor Xin.

"Your Majesty's doctor is such a talented person, why worry that the eight hundred princes will not accept him, and the barbarians will not surrender. Great kindness."

Di Xin nodded, "That's true. Your Excellency, how to punish Xiqi so that other princes don't dare to disobey the imperial court's orders again, I will leave it to you."

Jiang Ziya had no choice but to bow his head and receive the oracle.

Di Xin said: "The empress often tells me: Don't do good because it is small, and don't do it because evil is small. Preventing the small things from happening, and taking precautions before they happen, is the upright way for the court. But it can't last long. Do you think so?"

Jiang Ziya clasped his fists and praised, "Your Majesty's words are true. Your Majesty assists His Majesty in this way. It is only a matter of time before the four barbarians come to court."

Di Xin smiled, "It's all up to Wu Cheng Wang and Qing."

When Jiang Ziya left, King Wu Cheng asked the emperor puzzled.

"Your Majesty seems to attach great importance to Jiang Ziya, can you let the minister know so that he can act properly in the future?"

Di Xin nodded, "That Xuxin has been studying Taoism in Kunlun Mountains for 40 years. Although he tried his best to hide it, you can also see that he has a tendency to protect Xiqi in his heart. Such a talented person must make him sincerely belong to me and sever him." It is possible for him to speculate with Xiqi. Xiqi has one less person, and Chaoge has one more person. In the future, there will be more chances of winning against a thief like Shang Xichangbo who has revealed his evil intentions."

The throne of Wucheng is high and powerful, and he is the confidant of Emperor Xin just like Chonghouhu.He is a broad-minded person. Seeing that the emperor is optimistic about Jiang Ziya, who has been studying Taoism in Kunlun Mountains for 40 years, he is not only not worried about his status, but also solemnly promises to the emperor.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely keep this person in Chaoge to serve His Majesty."

Di Xin nodded, and King Wucheng accepted Jiang Ziya, and he will protect Jiang Ziya in the court in the future, so as not to let him feel rejected, which will be of great help to win Jiang Ziya back to himself.

"Where the imperial court has to make preparations for Xiqi, let Chonghouhu be ready to use troops against Xiqi."

King Wu Cheng agreed and made arrangements for himself.

Besides, when Xiqi Jichang saw the imperial envoy sent by Chaoge and summoned him to defend himself, he felt uneasy.

He has also planned for a long time to use soldiers against the dog army.I don't want him to control the war after it started, it's not something he can stop if he wants to.His original idea was to let the emperor know that there was a war, and it was a specious situation to send someone to check. He wanted to take the opportunity to see the emperor's attitude towards him and to find out the details of the Yin merchants.

If the emperor blames and punishes himself, he will have a reason for the emperor to be stupid and blame Zhongliang, and then raise troops to attack Yin and Shang, and he can explain it in front of the people of the world.Of course, these are all thoughts deep in his heart.Xiqi Wenwu knew that he had such a plan, but he was just a confidant of those three or five people.

The rest of the people were really covered up by his claim that Quan Rong had bad intentions and coveted Xiqi's misbehavior.Seeing that the war is getting longer and longer, the most important thing now is how to cover up the truth. It is obviously impossible for all the officials and people in Xiqi to say that there is no war with the dog army matter.

Uncle Xichang knew that the people who came to proclaim the decree were from Minglu, and the officials who Chaoge came to Xiqi to check the truth, there were still several ways in private.He also understands that if he misses all the way back, even if he speaks out, the emperor will not believe him.

what to do?Do you use troops against Chaoge in advance?Xichangbo felt that he was not prepared enough.He convened civil and military confidants to discuss.

The eldest son Boyi came out and said: "Father, my son will take the court song on behalf of the father."

San Yisheng, the senior official, stopped Bo Yikao, "The Son of Heaven summoned the king to go to Chaoge. It is obvious that he doubts the use of troops against the dog army. If the king refuses to avoid it, he will lose his tongue. Why don't you do some divination and see this Going to be good or bad, and then decide how to do it?"

What San Yisheng said made sense. After Xichangbo took a bath and fasted, he went to divination devoutly, but found that he had detected an ambiguous and obscure hexagram.

This happened several times, and Ji Chang was at a loss.

It's definitely not that I am not good at divination, but that the future is gloomy.He thought of the hexagram occupied by his father decades ago, that the Yin and Shang Dynasties will end, and the Western Zhou Dynasty will begin.

Uncle Xichang sighed helplessly, put away the divination tools, and summoned San Yisheng.

"Going to Chaoge alone, good or bad is hard to tell. Life and death are hard to predict. The internal affairs are entrusted to you, and the external affairs are entrusted to Nangong Shi and Xin Jia."

Then Xuan's eldest son Boyi Kao came to see him, and entrusted him with all the family affairs and Xiqi's major affairs, and asked him not to forget his wish.

Bo Yikao was excited and wanted to sing for his father.

Ji Changbo sighed: "My son, there is no reason for a gentleman not to avoid it when he sees difficulties. But the number of days has been fixed, and the emperor summoned his father to court to argue with the song. Ding also learned the truth from the people. If you cannot return safely as a father, you should inherit your father's ambition and complete the unfinished business."

Uncle Xichang arranged everything and went to the palace to bid farewell to his mother, Tai Jiang.

Tai Jiang said with tears in his eyes: "My son, mother will deduce the innate number for you. It's dark and difficult to go to Chaoge. I'm afraid it will be bad or good. If you don't, don't go."

Ji Chang knelt down and kowtowed, "Mother, how dare you refuse to obey the emperor's summons! The innate number deduced by the son is the same as that of the mother. Xiqi Nuo's family business is big, and I am afraid that I will have to rely on my mother to support Bo Yi in the future."

Tai Jiang burst into tears, "I know what your father and grandparents thought in the hearts of three generations, this is the only thing, sooner or later it will happen one day, alas. Kill me."

Ji Chang kowtowed again and silently backed out.

On the second day, Ji Chang led his people to leave Xiqi and set out on the road, and went to the civil and military capitals of the whole court to see him off.Youxin Gao shouted on the spot, "My lord, let's kill Chaoge, it's better than your lord being interrogated."

San Yisheng stopped, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Didn't you see that the officials sent by the emperor of the Shang Dynasty were still waiting?

What a disaster.

San Yisheng stepped forward to toast, "Xie Bo, I wish you a smooth trip and come back to Xiqi soon."

Uncle Xichang took San Yisheng's parting wine and drank it without knowing the taste.

Bo Yikao and Ji Fa led dozens of brothers up to toast. Uncle Xichang took the wine from the eldest son and said to his sons: "You brothers will listen to the orders of the eldest brother in the future, and live in harmony. You will have no worries when you are alone."

All the sons bowed down to answer.

Uncle Xichang bowed to all the civil and military personnel, "Xiqi is begging you all."

He turned around and followed the heavenly official who came to Xiqi to deliver the decree and went to Chaoge.

The author has something to say: Xiqi Jichang cannot call himself "solitary"

San Yisheng can't be called a king
