I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

When Uncle Nine questioned him, Shen Gongbao's face suddenly flashed through Huang Feihu's mind, and he said hatefully, "It must be him!"

"Who is he?" Uncle Nine pressed.

Huang Feihu took a deep breath and said, "Shen Gongbao! This scoundrel came to me the other day, hoping that I would plead for Ji Fa together with Boyi Kao. At that time, I realized that this was an act of disloyalty and refused outright. But I did not expect that this beast's revenge would be so quick and so ruthless."

He wasn't a fool; he could naturally imagine that if something happened to his wife in the palace late at night, he, the King of Wucheng, would probably only have one option left: to rebel against the Shang dynasty.

Uncle Nine seemed to understand something, then waved his hand and said, "Now that we know who the enemy is, there's nothing to worry about. With his abilities, he can only resort to some underhanded and despicable methods. As long as we keep our heads in check, we won't fall into his trap."

Upon hearing this, Huang Feihu suddenly knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, please punish the Ji family father and son severely. You have been too lenient with them."

He knew that ever since King Zhou brought the Ji family father and son back to the capital with the army, he had placed the two under house arrest in Boyi Kao's mansion and had not even given them a proper punishment.

After all, with Boyi Kao taking care of their father and younger brother, the two of them couldn't endure any hardship except for not being able to go out!
Uncle Nine waved his hand and said, "This matter was Shen Gongbao's scheme. Although it was for Ji Fa, I cannot convict him for it."

Huang Feihu clenched his fists silently and said, "Your Majesty needs to consider the overall situation, but I do not. I will go to Boyi Kao's house now and ask Ji Fa how this debt should be settled."

Uncle Nine: "..."

After hearing that, he even wanted to go and see for himself!
Half an hour later.

With a sword at his waist, Huang Feihu led his wife directly to the gate of Boyi Kao's house, dismissed the guards, and kicked the gate open.

Bo Yikao, Ji Chang, Ji Fa, and many other members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard went out with torches or lanterns, illuminating the courtyard as if it were daytime.

"King Wu Cheng, what brings you here?"

Huang Feihu stared at Boyi Kao, who was speaking, his hand on the hilt of his sword, and said coldly, "Where is Shen Gongbao, Marquis of Xibo?"

Bo Yikao was taken aback for a moment, then said, "I don't know, I haven't seen him in a long time."

Huang Feihu said, "But not long ago, he came to me and persuaded me to plead for Ji Fa with you."

When I refused, he brought my wife into the palace. He first used magic to bewitch me, but when that failed, he manipulated my wife into jumping into a well.

If it weren't for a benefactor's rescue, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Bo Yikao: "..."

Is Shen Gongbao out of his mind?
When did he ever say he would plead with the king?

The king has already arranged for my father and second brother to stay in his own home, so how can I ask for anything more?
Please allow my second brother to return west.

If Your Majesty agrees, wouldn't the Western Expedition become a joke?
Thinking of this, his face flushed red, and he raised his hand, saying:
“King Wu Cheng, I, Boyi Kao, swear to Heaven that I have never conspired with Shen Gongbao in this way. If I have uttered even the slightest lie, may I die a horrible death.”

Huang Feihu then looked at Ji Fa and said, "As everyone knows, you, Boyi Kao, are a gentleman. If you say there's no such thing, I will believe you. But, what about the people around you?"

"Second brother, are you plotting with Shen Gongbao?" Boyi Kao suddenly turned his head and asked.

Ji Fa answered without hesitation: "Of course I didn't."

“You should also make a vow,” Huang Feihu said.

Ji said angrily, "What oath? I said I didn't, so I didn't! King Wucheng, are you trying to humiliate the Ji family?"

Huang Feihu coldly replied, "What are you feeling guilty about?"

“Where am I feeling guilty? You’re just being unreasonable,” Ji Fa said.

Huang Feihu sneered: "You're all bark and no bite, just trying to cover up your inner panic."

If you really weren't involved, why would you do this?

"Ji Fa, tell me, where is that beast Shen Gongbao?"

Ji Fa said, "If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext."

"Clang."

Huang Feihu suddenly drew his sword and walked step by step toward his opponent.

"Brother!" Ji Fa was so frightened that his scalp tingled, and he quickly hid behind Bo Yikao.

Bo Yikao gritted his teeth and said, "King Wucheng, even if Ji Fa knows about this, he is not the mastermind. At most, he is an insider. I hope you will calm down."

"Calm down?"

Huang Feihu said coldly, "If I back down today, what will others think of me, Huang Feihu? Even if it costs me my official position and title, I must get an explanation."

Having said that, he pushed Boyi Kao aside and chased after Ji Fa with his sword in hand.

Bo Yikao was pushed so hard that he stumbled and had no choice but to shout to the guards protecting him, "Quickly, stop King Wucheng!"

Huang Feihu's eyes widened like copper bells, and his aura became even more ferocious: "Who dares to stop me?"

At this moment, Qin Yao had just found Bai Jian from the East Sea and was preparing to take him to see Uncle Jiu to discuss the matter of establishing the Conferred God Platform at Lutai when the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus suddenly issued a warning, causing him to subconsciously release his divine sense to investigate.

As a result, they saw Huang Feihu chasing Ji Fa and slashing, while Boyi Kao desperately tried to stop him from behind, but was repeatedly pushed to the ground.

"It's quite lively."

"Immortal Master, what did you say?" asked Bai Jian, a tall man with a resolute face, who was standing to the side.

Qin Yao smiled, and with a flick of his sleeve, led him to Boyi Kao's courtyard, calling out softly, "King Wucheng."

Huang Feihu suddenly turned around, like a tiger looking back, but his gaze immediately cleared when he saw that the person was the Imperial Censor.

how to say.

The Censorate was in charge of all officials’ misconduct, and it was known as the “Ghost Palace” in the court. Anyone who encountered him when committing a misconduct would tremble with fear.

"Lord Jiang, thank goodness you've come." Panting and in pain, Boyi Kao was overjoyed and plopped down on the ground, completely losing his composure.

“Lord Jiang, I only wanted to ask Ji Fa where Shen Gongbao was; I had no intention of killing him,” Huang Feihu explained.

Qin Yao said, "Even if you find out where Shen Gongbao is, what can you do to him?"

Huang Feihu: "..."

"Let me give you an idea," Qin Yao suddenly said, just as his face was filled with a dejected expression.

Huang Feihu was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "What idea?"

"Isn't your eldest son, Huang Tianhua, studying under my senior brother, the True Lord Qingxu Morality? After so many years of study, he should have some skills by now, right?" Qin Yao asked.

Huang Feihu suddenly realized and said, "Thank you for your guidance, sir. I will go and write a letter to inform my son that his mother was almost killed by Shen Gongbao."

Ji Fa: "..."

I thought a helper had arrived.

But now it seems that this helper is actually making things worse.
A moment later, watching Huang Feihu lead Huang Shi away quickly, Qin Yao then looked at Ji Fa and said earnestly, "One cannot be too selfish. You are so eager to return to the west, but what about your brother?"

"I didn't!" Ji Fa vehemently denied.

"Whether it's true or not, you know best."

Qin Yao remained noncommittal, then looked at Boyi Kao and asked, "Why haven't you gone to Xiqi to take up your post yet?"

Bo Yikao said with a wry smile, "Given the current situation, if I go to Xiqi, Ji Fa will be dead."

Qin Yao said, "The longer you drag this out, the more disadvantageous it will be for the situation. You'd better think carefully."

Having said that, he waved his sleeve and disappeared into the courtyard with Bai Jian.

Bo Yikao forced himself to stand up and looked at Ji Fa, saying:
"I can save you this time, but I can't save you every time."

Besides, your act of storming the palace with a sword is already a settled matter. The fact that His Majesty didn't kill you is already a great favor to me. If you continue to make underhanded moves behind my back, how can I face His Majesty again?"

Ji Fa said, "Brother, you keep calling yourself a king, do you really think you're a slave of King Zhou?"

Bo Yikao was furious and walked toward the other party with a cold face.

"enough!"

Ji Chang roared, "I'm still here! I'm not dead yet! Do you want to turn against each other right in front of me?"

Bo Yikao paused slightly, sighed, and turned to walk towards the house: "Father, unwarranted ambitions will only be the root of chaos."

Ji Chang: "..."

Not long after.

Inside the royal palace, at the Longevity Palace.

Qin Yao sat opposite Uncle Jiu and personally wrote a royal decree to oversee the construction of the Fengshen Platform at Lutai, then tossed it to Bai Jian.

Bai Jian was stunned by the scene. Even though he subconsciously accepted the royal decree, his mind still couldn't process what was happening.

"You may leave now. I have something to discuss with the King," Qin Yao suddenly instructed.

Bai Jian gave him a deep look, bowed, and quickly retreated.

"How did you persuade Yuanshi Tianzun?" Uncle Nine asked immediately after watching Bai Jian leave.

In his view, being able to do this was no less than winning a desperate counterattack.

After all, countless Yuanshi Tianzun (Primordial Celestial Venerables) share a common flaw: they are both concerned with saving face and arrogant.

Qin Yao said, "He was blinded by his own involvement and overlooked the fact that the so-called Investiture of the Gods was just an internal struggle among the three religions. The winner would continue to live a carefree life, while the loser would become a slave to the heavens. I helped him clearly understand this point, and that's why he entrusted the great task of Investiture of the Gods to me."

Uncle Nine was silent for a moment, then asked, "So, you want to help the Chan Sect?"

"of course not."

Qin Yao laughed and said, "Even if I become Jiang Ziya, I still have no good feelings towards the Chan Sect."

So, the reason for doing this is twofold: first, to obtain the authority to bestow divine titles, so that one can appoint gods on behalf of Heaven.

Second, we must continue to sow discord among the three religions and prevent them from becoming one at the root.

Only when the Chan Sect and the Ren Sect fight tooth and nail can we reap the benefits.

"We're not taking sides?" Uncle Nine said.

Qin Yao blinked and said, "Isn't the Human Religion already the state religion of the Yin Shang Dynasty?"

Uncle Nine's head buzzed, and his eyes widened instantly: "You actually... you actually thought that way!"

Qin Yao smiled slightly: "Jiang Ziya's identity is too useful. With me and Shen Gongbao tirelessly stirring things up between the two sects, why worry that the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect will not fight a real battle?"
In the end, the immortals of the Jie Sect either went into hiding or were listed on the list.

Lao Tzu converted the barbarians to Buddhism and appointed Duobao Daoist as Tathagata, thus undermining the Chan Sect.

The new force, composed of elites from the Chan and Jie sects, can also share the fortune of the Western sect.

Thus, after the great war of the Investiture of the Gods, the Jie Sect was defeated, the Chan Sect weakened, the Western Sect was in turmoil, and the Human Sect remained firmly in control, naturally becoming the number one Taoist lineage in the world and giving back to the Shang Dynasty.

From then on, no immortal sect or holy sect could incite a calamity of gods and immortals through dynastic changes. My mission is complete, and your mission is complete as well.

The Shang dynasty may not last forever, after all, no dynasty lasts for a thousand years.

However, whether or not a dynasty exists in the human world is up to the people themselves to decide, not for immortals to control everything from behind the scenes.

Uncle Nine stared blankly at Qin Yao, unable to come to his senses for a long time.

Only now did he truly understand Qin Yao's complete thoughts.

This is nothing short of dancing on a knife's edge; it's incredibly audacious.

Before this, he thought it was an exaggeration to think that heaven and earth were the game and all living beings were the pieces. But his own disciple was actually using the killing as the game and the Holy Teachings as the pieces. Even the saints were just pieces on the chessboard. He wanted to fight against heaven and win by half a move!

If the game is not brought under control during the process, leading to its collapse, a massive backlash will engulf it like a tsunami, and being able to slink away from this world would be considered a good outcome.

"Did you think of these things from the moment you established the People's Religion as the state religion?" After a long while, Uncle Nine asked.

Qin Yao laughed and said, "Yes! Who stipulated that during the Investiture of the Gods, one must choose sides between the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect?"

Why can't we stand up for the people?
Because the People's Education Press has such a low profile?
Because of the scarcity of teachers, the school cannot support the framework of a large-scale education system.
However, how much less famous are the Eight Immortals of Shangdong in later generations than the Twelve Golden Immortals?
In addition, there are the Four Celestial Masters, Chen Tuan, and others.

If Laozi (the founder of Taoism) is willing to take this step, then achieving a large and prosperous family is a piece of cake.

Moreover, didn't the founder of the Emei Sect of Shushan, Master Changmei, also claim to be a disciple of the Human Sect?
Even if Ren Shou doesn't exist in this world, there can be other people.

The only difficulty lies in how to invite Laozi into the game.

But this most difficult part was already completed before the conflict between the Shang Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, your task is to promote the Taoist tradition and build more Laozi Taoist temples without causing hardship to the people or wasting resources.

It would be best to have Master Lingguan take on more disciples and assign them to different Taoist temples.

Ultimately, these disciples of the Church will all become proponents of the merchant faction.

Uncle Nine couldn't help but chuckle: "I know what to do in the future."

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something else and said, "Wait a minute, there's a question. If things have settled down completely after Boyi Kao passes away, how will you still incite the Chan and Jie sects to fight each other?"

Qin Yao smiled and said, "Master, we don't need to worry about this. Shen Gongbao will do his best to accomplish it. In fact, what he can do is just what I want him to do."

Uncle Nine: "..."

Poor Shen Gongbao.

He thought he was the protagonist stirring up trouble, the nemesis of Lingguan and Jiang Ziya, but in reality, he was just a pawn in the game!

"There is only one way left now," Shen Gongbao said solemnly to Ji Fa at Boyi Kao's home on the eve of dawn.

Ji Fa bowed deeply and said, "Please enlighten me, Grand Master."

Shen Gongbao said, "You and your elder brother switch identities, and return to Xiqi in his appearance and title to assume the position of Marquis of Xibo. Wait for the opportune moment."

Ji Fa was taken aback.

This was a method he had never thought of before.

"My brother can't agree to that, can he?"

“He definitely won’t agree,” Shen Gongbao said. “He has been completely bewitched by King Zhou, and he thinks that King Zhou is a wise ruler and a good person. He even thinks that you should not resist, and that the subject should have no choice but to die when the ruler commands it.”

Ji Fa's face immediately darkened, and he said, "That's true."

"Second Young Master, it's up to you. If you can knock him unconscious or drug him, causing him to lose his mind, I can switch faces for both of you."

"But I can't attack him directly because he has an extremely powerful Purple Star Imperial Qi within him," Shen Gongbao said.

Ji Fa was still hesitant at first, but after hearing about the Purple Star Imperial Aura, he made up his mind.

How could my elder brother possess the Purple Star Imperial Qi within his body?
Could it be that after returning to Xiqi, he fulfilled the prophecy of his destiny to return to the west?

Do not!
The prophecy was about me; what does it have to do with my elder brother?
Yes, it is fate that has made me this way.

I must return west to fulfill my destiny! (End of Chapter)
