Starting from crossing the Fengshen

Chapter 339 The third assessment

The news that Emperor Yi was seriously ill was not deliberately concealed, and it soon became known throughout the city and the people were in an uproar.

No one expected that Di Yi, who was in good health, would say that he would not be able to do it anymore.

Moreover, a third assessment was hurriedly proposed, and the outcome was determined by one round.

How unfair is this to Yin Qi!

Everyone was talking a lot and guessing what the third assessment would be?

If Yin Shou wins, how should Yin Qi deal with himself?

With Yin Qi's current prestige, he could only stay away from Chaoge, go to the local area to establish a country, and become a prince.

Otherwise, Yin Shou might not be able to sleep peacefully.

Amidst the chaos, three days passed in an instant.

this day.

Countless eyes were looking at the palace.

Zichen Palace.

Emperor Yi was wearing regular clothes and sitting behind the imperial desk. His complexion was rosy and he did not look like someone who was about to die soon.

He looked at Yin Qi and Yin Shou who were standing in front of the imperial case, and said in a kind voice: "Qi'er, Shou'er, as the Human Emperor, you can be average in literary talent and average in martial arts, because you are the Human Emperor. We can choose the right people to do the right things, and we can just give them directions and tasks.

In other words, as a human emperor, the most fundamental quality is to understand the general direction.

Understand the national conditions and know how to govern. "

Yin Shou was a little confused and even disagreed, but he bowed his head and listened honestly.

Yin Qi, on the other hand, nodded in agreement.

He has been a president and an emperor, so he naturally knows how to be a qualified king.

Emperor Yi continued: "This third assessment is to tell you what you think of the current big merchants. If you were the emperor, how would you govern?"

Yin Qi's eyes narrowed and he thought secretly.

His goal was too big. If he told it, he would scare Emperor Yi to death, and it would definitely be considered nonsense. Therefore, he had to hold back and say what Emperor Yi wanted to hear.

This proposition is too subjective, difficult to say and simple to say.

If you want to win, you must understand Emperor Yi's psychology and figure out how Emperor Yi wants him to govern.

Yin Shou was also frowning in thought.

After a long time, Emperor Yi said: "Which of you will go first?"

Yin Shou immediately said: "Father, please come first. I think that under the rule of my father, our country will be peaceful and the people will be safe. We have the Taishi, the Prime Minister and the Emperor's uncle to assist us internally, and we have four great sages outside to stabilize the four directions." .

If I were a human emperor, I would continue my father's policies, live with the people, and unite the princes.

In this way, I, the great businessman, will be able to be in power forever. "

Emperor Yi nodded slightly, neither happy nor angry, with a calm expression.

He looked at Yin Qidao: "What about you?"

Yin Qi bowed and said sternly: "Father, I cannot agree with what the emperor brother said. On the contrary, I think that under the prosperity of our great business, there are actually dangers and undercurrents. If we don't change, I’m afraid the country’s destruction is not far away.”

Yin Shou looked shocked and suddenly turned his head to look at Yin Qi: "Brother Emperor, you..."

The Great Shang Dynasty was so powerful that it had just destroyed Chiyi and expanded its territory by 60,000 miles. The princes from all sides also paid tribute on time every year. It was a peaceful and prosperous time with singing and dancing, but how could it be surrounded by crises.

Emperor Yi's eyes narrowed and he sneered: "Dangers are everywhere and undercurrents are surging? Yin Qi, please tell me how our great merchant is not far from being destroyed. If you can't explain why, you can just block it when you go out."

Yin Qi said seriously: "It has been six hundred and forty years since the Shang Tang Saint Ancestors allied with three thousand princes to destroy the Xia and establish the Shang Dynasty. During these six hundred and forty years, the nobles continued to annex the well fields and accumulate slaves. , causing the people to suffer.

Externally, the four great uncles continued to be powerful, so that the princes from all over the world only knew about the four great uncles but did not know about me, the Great Shang.

Xiqi, in particular, is powerful and ambitious.

At that time, the emperor's grandfather saw the threat of Xiqi, so he imprisoned Xibohou, which made everyone in Xiqi share the same hatred. Ji Chang even vowed to avenge his father.

If his father hadn't married his aunt to him, I'm afraid Xiqi would have rebelled.

But the root of the problem has been laid.

In my opinion, there will eventually be a battle between Dashang and Xiqi, and it will be a battle for the fate of the country. "Yin Shou's eyes widened, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

He never thought that Yin Qi could actually say such treacherous words, considering that Ji Chang was his father-in-law!

"Snapped!"

Emperor Yi stood up. He was shocked and angry and said: "Shut up, you scoundrel. Our merchant nobles are all virtuous people, loyal to the emperor and patriotic. The four great uncles are also loyal, how can I let you slander me? Also, Xibo Hou Jichang is your father-in-law. If you say such things about him, you are being unfilial and treasonous. Do you know your guilt?"

Yin Qi bowed solemnly and said solemnly: "My son, I said everything from the bottom of my heart. What crime do you have?"

"Okay, okay, you are so stubborn. In that case, let's reflect on it here, take back what you said before, and go back when you can. Shou'er, let's go."

Di Yi said, fluttering his sleeves and leaving.

"Yes, Father."

Yin Shou was overjoyed and quickly followed.

Although Emperor Yi has not yet announced the results of the third assessment, the results are already obvious.

The position of prince is settled.

……

After Di Yi left, Yin Qi did not panic because he could feel that Di Yi had no anger and everything was just an act.

What's more, even if he loses the third test, there will be a coup at worst.

The Human Emperor, he has made up his mind.

Yin Qi stood calmly, because in this hall, he also felt that there was someone hiding in the void, most likely Wen Zhong, Shang Rong, and Bigan.

As the third test that can determine the outcome of a game, how could Wen Zhong and the others not be present.

You can guess it without sensing.

after an hour.

Yin Qi heard footsteps coming from outside the hall.

It's Di Yi who's back.

Emperor Yi walked up to Yin Qi and said in a deep voice: "Niezi, do you know that you are wrong?"

Yin Qi solemnly said: "Everything I say is the truth. Great business like Great Xia is about to collapse. There are many crises. It is time to change."

Di Yi said coldly: "I still don't know how to repent. Okay, then tell me, how do you want to change and how do you save Dashang?"

"political reform!"

Yin Qizheng said: "I, the great Shang Dynasty, inherited the Xia system and divided the world. It seems that the princes are defending the four directions, but in fact it is the root of disaster, because we have no control over the princes and states, only annual tribute.

This means that we cannot curb the development of the princely states.

Nearby, there is Xiqi.

Looking further back, didn’t our big merchants also develop in this way?

Lessons from the past, the teacher behind the car.

When a certain prince is strong enough to challenge us, they will also launch a rebellion just like the ancestor Shang Tang did.

Perhaps my father would say that our great merchants have enfeoffed many royal families, and they are of the same mind as us.

But the beauty of a gentleman will be cut off in five lifetimes.

After serving the fifth server, will they still be close to us?

This time we are exterminating Chiyi. It seems that we have expanded our territory by 60,000 miles, but in fact we are just making wedding clothes for others.

If things go on like this, my business, Dachang, will not get any development, but the princes will continue to grow. When the strength is reversed, it will be difficult even if there is no problem.

Therefore, it is necessary to reform the law, abolish feudalism, and establish a unified central power. "
