I, the younger brother of King Zhou, lead the Taoist ancestors to do business

Zisheng's mind was dizzy, and suddenly someone wrapped him in clothes, and he fell into a warm embrace.

His forehead rested on his hot chest, and the sound of his heartbeat made him relax and fall asleep peacefully.

It rained heavily that night, and a strong wind blew up at some unknown time. The sound of gusts of wind lingered in Zisheng's ears, and also broke some branches in the courtyard.

Zisheng felt uneasy, and the rain dripped from the eaves.

The white fox bit his quilt and lifted it up, covering the corners of the quilt for him.

Zisheng's heart felt hot, and the burning sensation spread from his heart to his limbs.Especially where he was injured, it was as painful as being smashed into foam.

He didn't cry when his soul was crushed in the last life.

I don't know if he has been loved all the time in this life or what happened, but Ming Ming Zisheng didn't want to cry, but tears oozed from the corners of his eyes, soaking the fox fur next to the pillow.

The fox's tail lifted up and lightly rested on his eyes to help him suck away the tears.

Zisheng spent the whole night roasting by the fire.

In the early morning of the second day, Zisheng opened his eyes tiredly.

His eyes were darkened and his eyes were blank.He moved his arm slightly, and the burning pain still existed in his memory, but the arm was obviously unharmed.

Baihu pushed him with his head, motioning him to rest, Zisheng was also fainted and sleepy.

He turned over on the pillow, but saw the white dress on the ground.

The Chinese clothes can no longer be said to be white, they are stained with bloodstains one after another, and there are drops on Xuanniao's eyes.

Zisheng recognized that it was King Shang's auspicious clothes. He quickly got up from the bed and asked the white fox, "Where is my brother?"

The white fox blinked his eyes and flicked his tail again. Zisheng got out of bed and ran out the door with bare feet.

He hadn't stepped over the threshold when someone came in and blocked his way.

Wet shoes and socks wet the floor, and rain dripped from the hem of the white clothes.

Zisheng raised his head slightly, and he saw the sword on his brother Wang's waist.

He looked all the way up again, Brother Wang also loosened his jade crown at some point, his wet black hair was casually draped behind him, and a few scattered strands of hair stuck to his cheeks.

He raised his head, but Zi Shou lowered his head.Seeing his bare feet, Zi Shou frowned.

Zishou wanted to hug him at first, but when he thought that he was soaked all over, he switched to hugging him and grabbed Zisheng's collar as he did when he was a child.

Zi Sheng was lifted onto the bed by the quilt like a salted fish.

Zishou didn't speak to him, but Zisheng took the initiative to speak.

"Brother Wang, why did you come here dressed like this?"

Zishou's tone was always loose, "It's raining today, and I didn't want to take an umbrella when I came here, so I got drenched."

Zisheng said "hmm".

In fact, he knew that the rain stopped in nearly half an hour.

"Zisheng." Zishou called him.

"Ah?" As soon as Zisheng raised his head, he was poked down by a finger.

Zi Shou said in a low voice: "From now on, if someone trips you, just ask him to come to Brother Wang. Don't be reckless. If you can't fight outside, you can run back and hide behind Brother Wang. I am your elder brother." ,do you know?"

Zisheng lowered his head and nodded.

Zishou took the auspicious clothes and left, and when there was no more noise in the hall, Zisheng put on clogs and went to the courtyard.

As if they were afraid of disturbing him, the palace people trembled and waited in the courtyard.

The branches in the courtyard fell to the ground, and some trees of small size even broke from them.

When Zisheng walked up to the tree, the broken marks on the tree body were very smooth.

He stood up straight, and asked the palace man seriously, "When did my brother Wang come here and what did he do? Answer the truth!"

The palace man trembled, as if terrified.

"Back to Your Highness, Your Majesty has not left after bringing you here. Last night, I spent a whole night of rain in the courtyard and practiced swords all night. These branches are..."

The palace man couldn't speak anymore, and knelt down directly.

Zisheng let out a long breath and closed his eyes.

The wind sounds from last night replayed in his mind, but those wind sounds turned into the sound of waving his sleeves.

-

Zisheng seemed to have uncovered this matter, but he didn't.

His current ability was considered top-notch in his previous life, but in the world of Conferred Gods, he was just a small ant.

He can't beat any immortal, how can he shoulder the heavy responsibility of half a book of conferring gods?

He wanted to seek immortality in the past to increase his strength, but now that the new emperor is just established, the foundation of his two brothers is not stable, leaving at this time is the most unwise choice.

Zisheng had no choice but to set aside at least one and a half hours a day to train himself while managing the state affairs.

Zisheng often likes to hang out in the market, and the people poke their heads out of him when they see Zisheng being escorted by the guards.

If they dared to approach before, but now when they heard that the child they had been optimistic about became the regent, they only dared to look at it from a distance.

They were happy for Zisheng from the bottom of their hearts, but at the same time they felt bewildered.

Now that this is the Regent, will he help them?

For example... Make Chaoge better than Xiqi Yicheng.

The people were a little timid, they stepped back, and the light of hope on their faces was extinguished.

It's not that they don't desire, it's just that they don't dare to have hope, for fear of being extinguished by cold water.Just pretend nothing happened.

Unbeknownst to the public, Zisheng already had big plans in mind.

Zisheng wants to reform the Shang Dynasty bit by bit, half of which is to fight against the old customs of the nobility, and the other half is to change the lives of the grassroots.

Because Yin and Shang were in danger, neither of these two aspects could be delayed, Zisheng decided to go hand in hand.

First of all, at the grassroots level, Zisheng wants to create an "experimental field" for himself, and this "experimental field" is Chaoge.

For one thing, the nobles didn't pay much attention to the ideas of the common people.Even though Zisheng won the favor of the people, the nobles only frowned.

Second, because Zisheng has to manage the government, he doesn't have much energy to go back and forth elsewhere, so he can only choose the nearest one.

Third, Chaoge is the capital of the Yin Shang Dynasty and the face of the Yin Shang Dynasty.If he can manage Chao Ge well, it will be of great significance to his management of Yin Shang.

In addition to this, there are more reasons, and Zisheng will not give examples one by one.

But now Zisheng faces two problems.

If he had to manage both state affairs and brother Chao's chores, especially the latter, he would obviously be too busy.

So Zisheng had the idea of ​​finding an assistant.

He had a notice posted.He knew how much the nobles valued official positions. If they were directly given official positions to civilians, the nobles would definitely obstruct them in various ways.

Zisheng is not afraid of the nobles protesting, but he is afraid of the nobles cutting off their beards.Therefore, he did not specify that he would be given an official position. The general meaning was that he was looking for two secretaries who had no real power.

After the notice was posted, many people came to sign up, but most of them were illiterate, so Zi Sheng asked someone to stop him.

He also sent two more educated palace servants to assess the applicants and report every seven days, so that the promotion can be free.

As for the second question, Yin Shang has an official position to manage Brother Chao, and there is someone in the official position, a nobleman among the nobles, a noble N generation, who just doesn't care about things.

Zishou frowned after learning about this, and waved his hand directly: "What's the matter? Just dismiss him."

Zisheng hastily persuaded: "Both the parents of that person are direct descendants of the family, and they have carried several aristocratic families behind them, and the aristocratic families have held half of the official positions in the court. If they get rid of it, they will offend half of the officials. Nobles, fellow nobles will definitely feel the crisis and contend with us..."

Zishou slapped the table and said with a sneer, "Leave them alone? Whoever has anything to do with him, get rid of them all!"

Zisheng: ...

He sighed, "It would be great if it was so easy, but they hold important positions. If they are removed, who will take these positions? Although some of them are incompetent, there are also some smart people. No matter what, they are better than ordinary people." It is much easier to pick dragons and phoenixes among them. If we withdraw now, Yin Shang will fall apart."

Zi Shou didn't understand either. His younger brother looked like a small turnip, but he was full of gossip, and his brain was more twisted than anyone else.

He didn't want to take care of so many things, so he simply handed it over to Zisheng.

Zisheng thought about it at night and fell asleep.

Zisheng is used to rising three poles every day, but he was called up by the palace servants before dawn.

Zisheng was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. The palace man said in a low voice, "Your Highness can't sleep anymore. Your Majesty won't go to court today. He said that he has been in court for ten days and it's time for you to go. After you have been in for ten days, He'll change it back."

Zi Sheng finally opened his blurred eyes, he yawned, and said with pain on his face, "When did I promise Brother Wang that he and he would take turns going to court?"

The palace man bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty said he is your elder brother, and if he said he was, he was."

Zisheng: ...

He was so sleepy that he didn't even want to move, looking at the dark sky outside the window, he asked, "What time is it?"

Gong Ren said: "Return to Your Highness, it is the second quarter of Yin time."

Zisheng: ...

Come on, it's only three o'clock in the morning.

Zisheng suffered even more.

The servants in his palace did not dare to call him, but his brother sent his own servant.

Zisheng was taken off the bed and put on his court clothes. He looked at the dark circles under his eyes in the bronze mirror and felt desperate.

Why is it more difficult than the student days in a different era?

The rise was slowed down for more than an hour, and when everything was ready, he patiently went to court.

He didn't know that Zishou couldn't fall asleep at this time, and was lying on the bed looking at the tent.

"So this is Zisheng's day? No wonder he wakes up so late, Gu Huan has never slept for so long.

The father is good, and if the son is kept alive, he can have a good rest after being alone. "

Zishou lay on the bed for a while, and he asked the lamp bearer beside him.

"What method do you think Gu will use to make Zisheng agree to go to court for a month or two?"

Palace man: ...

Your Highness, the little prince is still young, so be yourself.

Zisheng sat on a high place and watched all the civil and military officials pay homage to him, and he made everyone flatten.

Today is the first time that Zisheng is going to court on behalf of Zishou, and the officials feel a little uncomfortable, but they still report honestly.

Most of the morning time passed, and the officials were in a trance.

Today's morning was exceptionally smooth.

The nobles looked confused, and the loyal ministers smiled with relief.

In the past, when the officials reported, if the emperor refused, he would directly refuse, with a firm attitude, and his aura forced everyone to dare not speak.

The aristocrats are angry, and the anger is arrogant and unreasonable.

The loyal ministers were also angry, because they were too authoritarian to speak well, and the ministers were unable to speak out, and were caught by the nobles.

But today, the ministers reported that if Zisheng refused, he would not say that he refused, but would cite the examples of his predecessors, a lot of irrefutable theories, and filled in countless loopholes that could be filled. That's why I said no.

Zisheng is very eloquent, and many of the performances were deliberately presented by the nobles in order to provoke.

Today, Zi Sheng dissected it bluntly, and the content of the performance was in front of everyone's eyes. Hearing this, the nobles blushed, and the loyal ministers were very happy.

The nobles took out the memorial today, which was useless and humiliated, and the loyal ministers finally let out a sigh of relief.

At the end of the early court, Zisheng finally solved Chaoge's problem, but instead of mentioning Chaoge, he diverted everyone's attention.

He told the courtiers that because he was busy with official duties, he would allocate some of the responsibilities entrusted to him by his father to the courtiers.

The courtiers were all moved when they heard it, and responsibility also represents rights.

Zi Sheng said slowly: "This king will take out the task of persuading and admonishing, and set up a special official position, which is used to persuade and assist the king on weekdays. The official position is..."

At the end of his career, some courtiers with middle and lower official positions were agitated. They used their family blessings to gain official positions, but they always stayed behind.

Now that it is possible to climb up, it is a great honor and opportunity to be close to the King and to be able to speak in front of the King!

There are many people who have this kind of thinking, who manages Chaoge.

However, some older loyal ministers and nobles frowned.

Shang Rong knew the key just by thinking about it. Although the smart nobleman sensed something was wrong, he panicked when he saw Zisheng glanced at the loyal minister.

If it is really a good position, it seems that Zisheng's wish is to reserve this position for those who are close to the royal family.

Zisheng said at this moment: "Anyone who is willing can come forward."

Hearing this, dozens of small officials stepped forward one after another, and the officials in charge of Chaoge also stepped forward.

Zisheng pretended to think about it, and finally chose that person among the crowd.

The man was very excited and hurriedly thanked him.

Zisheng was not in a hurry to fill the vacancy, and postponed the matter on the grounds of consideration.

After the next court, Shang Rong followed.

With a smile, Zisheng took out a bag of homemade candies from his pocket, took out one and gave it to Shang Rong.

Shang Rong didn't expect this little thing to taste so sweet and sour, he held it in his mouth, the more he held it, the more vigorous he was.

He said to Zisheng: "The late emperor left you the task of admonishing, not because you were asked to advise, but because only you can advise. Wouldn't it be an empty-handed official position if you let him go?"

Zisheng smiled and said: "So, I don't recognize relatives as officials. They only consider blood, not ability and wisdom. Isn't that true? Even if you are an official, the official is lost because of lack of brains."

Shang Rong was amused, but his eyes never left the candy bag in Zi Sheng's hand.

He said to Zisheng: "Your Highness, I think this tastes good, why don't you let me try another one?"

Zisheng held the small bag and stepped back, "The Prime Minister is not young, it is better to eat less of this thing, and eating more is not good for your health."

After Zisheng finished speaking, he raised his head, held up the candy bag in front of Shang Rong, poured it into his mouth, and ate the candy in one go.

Shang Rong was dumbfounded, "How can your Highness do this? You said it will affect your health."

Zisheng squinted his eyes and crushed the candy, "Of course I'm different, I'm still young."

Suddenly, with a "bang", he froze, and then stretched out his hand and spit out a tooth.

He raised his head, his left front tooth was empty.

Zisheng's dark eyes were full of blankness.

Shang Rong couldn't help laughing, he stopped eating candy, turned around and left with his hands behind his back.

Zisheng: ...

-

After the little nobleman returned that day, his father disapproved of him for grabbing the top position, but he didn't notice anything for a while, he just asked him to perform well and strive for the family's interests as much as possible.

Today is his first day as an admonisher.Zishou was drinking in the palace, and the little nobleman stood by and felt uneasy.

His Majesty is not good at drinking, should he advise?

The little nobleman emboldened himself, he stood up straight and said to his son, "Your Majesty, drink..."

Zishou didn't even look at it, and his voice was neither loud nor low.

"roll!"

The little nobleman's legs went limp.

On the second day, Zishou was dancing his sword in the garden, regardless of the state affairs.

The little nobleman: "Your Majesty..."

A sword came over and cut off the branch next to the little nobleman.

The little nobleman was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

On the third day, Zishou just glanced at the little nobleman, and the little nobleman scrambled and ran out of the palace.

On the fourth day, Zisheng sat in the hall and stroked the fox, flicking his big fluffy tail back and forth.

The little nobleman half-kneeled in front of Zisheng, with snot and tears.

"I beg Your Highness to give me a way to survive. I really don't want to serve Your Majesty."

The little noble didn't understand why the elders in the family warned him not to approach His Highness the Regent easily. Compared to His Highness, isn't His Majesty more terrifying?

In his eyes, Zisheng is his little savior.

The fox's tail in Zisheng's arms was still flicking.

He smiled gently at the little nobleman, "This king can help you, but there is no vacancy in the court."

The little nobleman was stunned for a moment, Zisheng sighed, "Why don't you go back..."

"No! No! Your Highness! I am willing to go home, please Your Highness to give me a way to survive!"

The kind Zisheng could only reluctantly agree.
