"The flaming sun just came out~"
Humming an unforgettable tune in the depths of his memory, Li Changshou strolled in the spirit beast circle with his hands behind his back, obviously in a good mood.
After teaching Zishou once, I still feel a little sense of accomplishment for no reason.
Probably because the "King Zhou" in his hometown on the earth is too famous, it is inevitable that there will be a subtle mentality, feeling that he has witnessed "history" and so on.
Thinking of this, Li Changshou smiled with his mouth twisted, and continued to hum his own ditty, enjoying himself.
Zishou's temperament does not seem to be cruel, at most he is easy to get ahead and reckless, and he also has a strong sense of "family mission", wanting to bring Shang Guo to Zhongxing.
Why a sense of family mission
In the understanding of ordinary emperors like Zi Shou and Di Yi, the current kingdom is their family's private property.
Leaving aside the general environment to talk about advanced and backward thinking is pure nonsense, but in Zishou, Li Changshou did see something different from Shang Jun such as Di Yi and Di Ding.
This may be the reason why Wen Zhong gradually got "too deep into the drama" by Zishou's side.
Of course, it is premature to draw such conclusions at this time.
Today's Zishou still has a long way to go, and no one can tell what kind of "flower bone" it will grow into in the end.
Not to mention, there is also Su Daji who is like a 'stimulant'.
Could it be that it is really a hard-core script like "The Essence of a Thousand Years of Foxes and Ten Thousand Years", and this pot is destined to be borne by the beauty
That would be a little too mean.
Of course, these words are slanderous and slandering in my heart, saying that it is impossible to say them out.
Immortal consciousness spreads quietly like ripples on the surface of water...
Um
Youqin, what's the matter
It seemed that he was in a low mood, and he walked out of the chess and card room with a dejected face, gathered his skirt and sat on the threshold, leaning against the door frame in a daze...
Several question marks appeared above Li Changshou's head, he had never seen Youqin Xuanya like this.
Sweeping through the celestial consciousness, Li Changshou suddenly felt powerless to complain when he saw a certain innate treasure in the room looking up and laughing, as well as a stack of treasure pouches and a fire lin sword box in front of the spiritual phantom.
What can this chaotic clock do with spirit stones? Throw it away and listen to it
It ruined the vibe of his chess and card room!
After thinking about it, Li Changshou turned around and slipped away before he disturbed the happy atmosphere in the chess and card room.
A few days later, he found another opportunity when the chess and card room was free, and secretly placed a warning sign.
[Competition has love, gambling is ruthless].
Anti-gambling anti-gambling, starting from the backyard of the White House!
Li Changshou looked around for a while, nodded in satisfaction, turned around and walked towards the cottage.
Every time he took a step, he naturally walked forward more than two feet;
But in the eyes of others, every time he lifts and lands his feet, his figure will naturally appear hundreds of feet away.
There is no flickering, no pause, and there is no wave in the universe, as if it has been integrated with nature, and it seems that the rules of walking are like this.
Obviously, Shou's Taoism has become more and more profound, and he has gone towards a certain field forever...
Li Changshou didn't know if he had gone the wrong way, but he had no intention of beheading the three corpses after he got the method of beheading the three corpses given by the Taoist ancestor.
That's not very robust.
After returning to the hut, Li Changshou sat behind his low table, took a roll of blank cloth, and wrote a line of small characters on it.
"Records of Famous Ministers of Great Merchants".
After all, he has not been in Chaoge City for nothing all these years. From now on, he will observe the courtiers around Lord Shang, and select those who are talented, proficient in political affairs, caring about the people, and compassionate.
Since he is asked to preside over the Great Tribulation of the Conferred Gods, then he has to act like a master robber.
Heaven will not accept those, just because they stand in a good team and win, and they don't have any real talents.
The position of righteous god is better than lack.
"Brother~"
Ling'e's whispered call came from outside the door, and Li Changshou agreed with a smile, writing non-stop, and continued to write vigorously, writing the opening preface.
Ling'e came in a light green fairy dress, holding a bowl of cold soup in her hand, but it was a newly learned skill.
Kneeling on the futon beside Li Changshou, Ling'e brought her little head closer and said curiously:
"Senior brother, are you trying to turn a mortal courtier into a courtier in heaven?"
"Taking advantage of the catastrophe, there is only such an opportunity."
Li Changshou laughed and said: "The difference between immortals and mortals lies in the immortality and immortal roots, and some immortals are not as intelligent and scheming as ordinary people.
The way of heaven doesn't care about the strength and weakness of living beings, it can make mortals ascend in the daytime by directly bestowing merit and enlightenment, why not
There is at least one-third of the places on the list of gods, which should be reserved for the sages of the contemporary human race. This is a necessary symbol that the heavenly court represents the human race, and it is also the fusion of the fate of the heavenly court and the human race. "
Ling'e blinked, but she didn't quite understand, and said with a smile:
"Ah, ah, in a blink of an eye, senior brother is already a mature fairy."
Li Changshou glared at Ling'e, who made a grimace, leaned over and hugged his arm with a smile, intentionally had some physical contact, and suppressed the shyness in his heart.
She is taking the initiative to adapt to a more intimate relationship. Li Changshou will not refuse this, and sometimes he will take the initiative.
Who doesn't love a well-behaved and cute little junior sister who is infatuated with her.
"By the way, you have Senior Sister Qin who lost all the spirit stones?"
"Uh... Brother, did you see it?"
Ling'e moved away with some guilt, and said in a low voice, "It's also my fault, I didn't stop Sister Zhong in time."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Li Changshou and Ling'e burst into wild laughter at the same time.
Li Changshou's forehead darkened, and he flicked his left hand. Suddenly, there was a crisp bell ringing by the lake, and an 'ohh' came from the bottom of his heart.
Chaos Bell roared with his spiritual sense: "You dare to hit me, junior!"
At this moment, a ray of yin and yang breath quietly bloomed.
Just about to return to its original size, the Chaos Clock, which came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, shrank back in an instant, and became more than three inches high again. It was hanging on the branch of the willow tree by the lake, swaying back and forth, and the spiritual sense came with a trace of stubbornness. .
"I hate it! It's okay, what's the boss doing, we can't solve our own affairs."
"laugh!"
"Who dares to laugh!"
The small pagoda next to Li Changshou's Yuanshen sealed itself instantly, restrained all its brilliance, and dared not move at all.
The hierarchy among treasures is indeed quite strict, Master Ta will be a younger brother one day.
After laughing for a while, Li Changshou had a little spiritual light in his heart, so he slowly disassembled this spiritual light and turned it into a realization, slowly rubbed it away in Dao's heart, closed his eyes and hummed softly.
comfortable.
This was a hard-won epiphany.
Now the frequency of epiphany is getting lower and lower, after all, there are fewer and fewer things that can make me feel something.
"Brother, can I make a musical instrument next to you?"
"Well," Li Changshou took a sip from the jade bowl, smiled softly at Ling'e, lowered his head and continued to write.
After all, this is something to show His Majesty the Jade Emperor, and it will change the fate of many people, so we should be cautious and considerate as much as possible.
suddenly think of…
Has Western religion really calmed down
not necessarily.
Li Changshou always felt that the Western religion was preparing a revenge against him, and this revenge might appear at various points in the follow-up.
When will the opponent make a move
Li Changshou thought for a while, and directly resorted to old-fashioned skills.
Empathy.
[If I were the sixth sage, what would I plan to do next, so that I could vent my anger and take advantage of the situation to ignite the battle of interpretation and interception?]
In the bottom of Li Changshou's heart, an imaginary scroll slowly unfolded, revealing a clear story line, connecting the option boxes in series.
Intercepting teachings, killing robberies, explaining and intercepting battles, this Taibaijinxing himself...
Foster father and son, Li Jing
After a while, Li Changshou closed his eyes and concentrated, standing still like a dry stone, his breath was a little weak.
Ling'e looked up at her senior brother, sighed softly in her heart, but a happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
I still can't help him.
…
It's been three months since Li Changshou's night meeting with his son.
The expeditionary army of the Shang Kingdom returned to the Shang land, and most of the generals rushed back to Chaoge City overnight, accusing the prince and son of "killing the victorious general in the army".
next morning.
Hundreds of officials gathered in the Great King's Hall, Zi Shou, dressed in armor, knelt down in front of the hall without saying a word, and Emperor Yi sat expressionlessly on a high seat.
The sixteen expeditionary generals all landed on one knee, and stated the situation before and after the son was beheaded, with fierce words and unbearable anger.
All the ministers immediately talked about it, and many old ministers said that this matter would damage the morale of the army and inevitably damage the morale of the army.
Dazai is the head of the inner court and the closest to the king. At this time, he said to the preface:
"Killing victorious generals in the army has never been justified since ancient times.
This matter needs to be handled carefully by Your Majesty, so as not to chill the hearts of these bloody soldiers. "
Di Yi nodded slowly, and said: "Everyone loves you, can someone defend your son?"
The young master heard that Zhongyue came out, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there is something else going on in this matter, why don't you listen to Zi Shou's words?"
Several ministers spoke one after another:
"No matter how much inside information there is, how can there be any reason to kill the victor?"
"It is a fact that the prince killed the general for no reason."
"Great merchants established their country with military force, and the ancestors conquered everywhere to have the prosperity they have today. How can they waste the foundation?"
Wen Zhong frowned slightly, he had come to his senses at this moment, and it was too early for him to stand up.
"cough!"
Suddenly heard a light cough from the front corner of the hall, half of the ministers stopped talking, and looked at the old minister who was getting older recently.
It is Li Changshou's [official] character Paper Taoist, Emperor Yi's Liuqing, and the great history of the Shang Dynasty.
Li Changshou said slowly: "Your Majesty, why don't you leave this matter to Lord Bigan? Lord Bigan is like a god in judging cases, and Chaoge City has been wrongly convicted for a long time."
Bigan turned his head and glanced at Li Changshou, muttering to himself, this boss Shi usually has nothing to do with him, so he never thought he would recommend him.
Qiqiao Linglong's heart turned, and Bigan immediately understood that this might be his brother's intention.
Da Shi, an old fox, usually keeps a low profile, but he is very popular in the court. He is behind many officials' promotions, and he cannot be offended.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Di Yi's mouth, he looked at Bigan on the left, and said softly:
"Brother Wang, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Bigan stepped forward.
Look at this younger brother who has been supported by teaching for half a month, with a slender figure and a face like a crown jade, he has also entered middle age at this time, he has lost a lot of vigor and a little more calm.
He has an exquisite heart, but he has never been exquisite in all aspects, and he is extremely upright;
He is good at guessing the sinister people's hearts, but he never lenients for the rich and powerful.
Everyone in Chaoge City sings - [Chaoge has a son, Qingtian, with exquisite seven orifices to identify loyalty and traitors], which is about Bigan.
Bigan pondered a few times, bowed to Di Yi, and then said:
"Your Majesty, brother Yu thinks that no matter what kind of case it is, one should listen to both sides and collect enough evidence before making a reasonable judgment.
When you invite your nephew to come in, Chen Ming tells you the inside story. "
Di Yi said with a smile: "Since Wang Di said this, let Zi Shou come into the palace to speak out."
Outside the hall, Zishou raised his head and bowed first, then slowly stood up.
Holding the saber at his waist, he walked slowly into the hall, his eyes were clear and his expression was relaxed, but when he glanced at the ministers on both sides, there was a sharp light in his eyes, which made many veterans feel uneasy.
At present, according to Li Changshou's method, Zishou first established benevolence and righteousness, promoted martial arts, and then confused the two generals' crimes, and changed them from "changing military uniforms to taking prisoners of war" to "do not hesitate to kill the enemy's uniforms for military exploits." robes worn on civilians', did not say whether they were captured as prisoners of war, or killed directly, just said "how cruel the situation is".
Then Zishou shifted the conflict, saying that the two generals were proud of their meritorious service and refused to accept his initial punishment, intending to incite the army to mutiny. .
What he said is still true, but some places are deliberately vague, and he never mentions the matter of slaves.
After Zishou's voice fell, the hall was filled with chills.
Di Yi's complexion was as dark as the bottom of a pot, Zi Shou's voice was still calm, and at this moment, without giving the other party a chance to refute, he sighed:
"The army is out, and I am the general.
I know that in this court, there are many people intending to kill me for their own benefit.
But this kind of power struggle has infiltrated into the army!
Eight hundred princes are watching outside!
Among them, how many people are waiting for our Dashang to rot, and then follow the trend to take my Dashang's place!
Just in this hall, how many people only care about themselves and the future of their children and grandchildren, but forget that the territory of this great merchant was laid down bit by bit by the ancestors of merchants with knives and axes!
Those who want to kill me, why not do those dirty tricks secretly! "
Clang!
Zishou pulled out his sword and threw it in the middle of the hall. His eyes were like eagles and his brows were like a falcon!
His sharp eyes swept everywhere, and most of the courtiers were frightened and did not dare to look at him.
"well… "
Zi Shou sighed, seemed to let out a sigh of relief, threw the scabbard aside, and bowed deeply to the father who sat on the high seat, without giving Bigan a chance to speak, he said directly:
"Father, my son had no choice but to behead those two generals in order to prevent mutiny in the army and establish the prestige of the main general.
For today's matter, my son is willing to accept the punishment, and please don't pursue the crimes of these generals, most of them just don't know the truth and have empathy.
Presumably, the hearts of all the officials here are in Dashang, but sometimes there are some differences and misunderstandings between us. "
Di Yi couldn't help but narrowed his eyes with a smile.
On the side, Li Changshou raised his eyebrows secretly, feeling quite touched by Zi Shouneng's last few words.
This guy, born to be a monarch, already knows how to control people's hearts.
pity…
That's all.
Zishou's words in the court hall today caused an earthquake in Chaoge City.
That night, news came out from the palace that Emperor Yi, who had recently had a poor appetite, ate a big meal, and even said after drinking that 'a great business can last forever', obviously quite satisfied with Zishou.
Not long after, Bigan also publicly stated that Zishou was not at fault for killing the general, and the prince's power struggle must be contained.
Many ministers who had been waiting and watching began to fall for this little prince who suddenly became dazzling.
As for Wei Ziqi and Wei Zhongyan, the doors of their residences were closed, they declined the guests, as if they were quietly watching.
In the Great History Mansion, Li Changshou closed his eyes in the study, and was about to move his mind back to the heaven, but the 'Directional Wind Curse' brought a conversation...
It was Zishou and Wen Zhong.
"Young master, who is this great historian
For so many years, I have been squeezed by those old officials in the court, and I have never been so active. According to the words of the great history, those people are so scared that they can't speak.
Really happy this time! "
"Zi Shou, be careful with your words, be careful with your words, this great historian is not something I can casually recommend.
He is a real master, and he can be moved by neither power nor wealth.
There are some things that I cannot tell you in detail, but Zi Shou must remember that unless it is the time of life and death, never trouble the old man, otherwise it will only be counterproductive. "
"Da Shi is also a man among gods?"
"One hand can cover the sky."
"Hiss—then why did he come to my business?"
"Let's have fun, but there are also rumors that Da Shang is his move, and I can't see clearly what's going on here, let alone Zi Shou, so don't talk nonsense."
Hearing this, Li Changshou couldn't help the corners of his mouth twitching.
This Wen Zhong really fell into it, and even secretly told Zishou about his being an extraordinary person.
That's right, after all, human hearts are made of flesh, and Wen Zhong has been a master for some years, and he and Zi Shou are inseparable.
Will there be any hidden dangers in this
Li Changshou fell into deep thought again, checking back and forth about matters related to Wen Zhong.
But at this time, he is not alone in thinking about Wen Zhong.
…
In the back mountain of Yuxu Palace, in the attic of the waterfall.
"This Wen Zhong sounds familiar."
Guang Chengzi tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table in front of him, frowning in thought.
Chi Jingzi said: "It's the young disciple of the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit, who has been taught for three generations. Before that, he and his nephew Yang Jian listened to the lectures of Junior Brother Chang Geng and walked in Chaoge City.
At that time, we only watched that person teach Li Jing, but we forgot about it.
Unexpectedly, we didn't pay attention to Chaoge City for a while, and he has become a young teacher. "
Immortal Huanglong on the side wondered, "What is the young master?"
Chi Jingzi said: "According to Pindao's investigation, as long as the new emperor ascends to the throne, most of the young masters will be worshiped as grand masters. They have a lot of power in the ordinary court and can influence major military and political affairs."
Master Taiyi put his hands in his sleeves and said with a smile:
"Teacher Renhuang, our senior brother has never done it, or he doesn't care much about it. Why worry?"
Guang Chengzi glared at Taiyi, threw the jade talisman in his hand onto the table, and said in a fixed voice:
"Don't be so careless, Jiejiao made a good move this time.
It seems that Wen Zhong will become an important figure in the catastrophe, we have to think carefully about how to deal with it. "
Master Yuding said in a deep voice, "It's better not to do more than to do more. It's not too late to move until the secret is more obvious."
Master Taiyi curled his lips habitually, with a look of lovelessness on his face: "Okay, let's see which current prince is so unlucky and has been supported by us for half a month."
The other eight immortals in the pavilion all cast helpless eyes, and Master Taiyi shrugged.
Relying on the jade tripod, you can be fearless.
…
At the same time, Biyou Palace.
Daoist Duobao walked around and stopped the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit who had just come back to look for the treasure of refining equipment.
"Junior Sister Jin Ling, has your apprentice gained anything in the past ten years? Huo Ling hasn't written to you for a long time, so I'm worried about them."
"Um… "
"It's okay to encounter obstacles. There is no one so easy to infiltrate the core area of the catastrophe. The mundane world is filthy, and people's hearts are complicated. If you return without success, don't blame him."
"I'm busy, I didn't ask, I'll send a jade talisman to ask him later."
"Okay, there's no rush."
