Chapter 279: Weizi Leaves Yin, Sanyi Returns to Han

The first major event that occurred between the Shang Dynasty, Xiqi and the Han State was Weizi's departure from the Shang Dynasty.

Who was this Weizi? He was the eldest son of Emperor Yi, the first king of the Shang Dynasty, and the elder brother of King Zhou.

Wei Zi, whose surname was Zi and whose name was Qi, could be called Wei Zi Qi. Wei Zi was born out of wedlock, while King Zhou was born out of wedlock, so King Zhou inherited the throne of Emperor Yi.

How did a son with the same father and mother become a legitimate and illegitimate child? The key is that when Weizi was born, his mother was still Emperor Yi's concubine. When King Zhou was born, she became the legal wife, thus establishing the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children.

The relationship between this pair of brothers and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu is different.

King Zhou even killed his own son, let alone his brother who was from the same father and mother. When Wen Zhong went to break the Seven Deadly Formation, he was afraid that Weizi would threaten his throne, so he found a fault and wanted to burn Weizi to death.

Weizi was once only one step away from the throne of the common ruler of the world. He also had a few trusted subordinates who helped open the city gate. Then the eldest son of Emperor Yi ran away!
He was not optimistic about Yin Jiao's side. They were of a foreign race and a different religion, and with the involvement of Duke Dongbo, the relationship between them was a mess.

So he came to Xiqi.

Yin Hong was here, and Weizi and Ji Chang had always had a good relationship. Emperor Yi had repeatedly caused trouble for Ji Chang during his lifetime, and many times he relied on Weizi's help to resolve the problems.

Xiqi hasn’t even figured out Yin Hong’s affairs, and now another “grandfather” has come.

Ji Chang had no choice. The people were already here. Did he refuse to let them enter the city? Or did he drive them away?
Then the reputation he had maintained throughout his life would collapse.

Ji Chang, along with his sons and all the civil and military officials, went thirty miles outside the city to welcome Weizi. He then made a big announcement, saying, "Look, King Zhou's son is here with us, and now his eldest brother has come to seek refuge with us. Family, what does this mean? This proves that the legitimate Shang dynasty is in Xiqi!"
Weizi was quite smart and refused all official positions. It was impossible for him to farm, and even a noble like him didn't know how to farm. He just wanted to find a job in a treasury, study the calendar and ancient books, and live a carefree life. You guys in Xiqi would provide me with food, but just don't let me starve to death.

Xiqi held a grand banquet to celebrate Weizi's arrival. During the banquet, the second major event happened.

The nine-tailed fox spirit cried and said that San Yisheng was going to force himself on her. The scene was quite chaotic at the time. San Yisheng was indeed disheveled in public. He tried to explain, but matters like relationships between men and women, in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, are very easy to arouse imagination.

San Yisheng's old wife found the prime minister's residence. Ji Chang repeatedly guaranteed for his old friend, but San Yisheng's head was still smashed by his old wife. After that, the whole incident caused an uproar in the city.

Faced with the pointing and criticizing of his fellow countrymen, San Yisheng was too embarrassed to stay in Xiqi any longer and immediately resigned to Ji Chang.

Although Jiang Ziya is now handling internal affairs, the old minister cannot give up easily.

Ji Chang tried to persuade him to stay again and again, but San Yisheng was so ashamed that he wanted to commit suicide.

Ji Chang was extremely tired. He was 92 years old and still had to deal with such a mess!
Seeing that my old friend was determined to leave, I simply recommended him to come to Nandu.

On the one hand, he hopes to exert some influence to make the Deng family friendly with the Xiqi camp. On the other hand, he also hopes to reopen transactions between the two families. Previously, Hong Jin's sneak attack on Hanzhong almost broke the relationship between the two families. Now the monthly transaction volume is less than one-tenth of the original amount.

That is, after "Weizi left Yin", there came another "Sanyi returned to Han".

Although he is not as good as Jiang Ziya and Wen Zhong, San Yisheng's internal affairs ability is at least above 85. Deng Jiugong of Nandu immediately went out of the city to welcome him, and Deng Chanyu was among them.

Deng Jiugong was preparing to appoint San Yisheng as the prime minister.

Previously, San Yisheng was a senior official in Xiqi. Now that the Han Dynasty had reformed its official system, the senior, middle, and lower senior officials were all responsible for governing cities, while the senior, middle, and lower ministers were responsible for governing the country. The senior minister was only below the Han Duke Deng Jiugong, and was considered a very important official in the country.

"I am ashamed to have suddenly gained such a high position without cultivating virtue in my life. I ask Lord Han to revoke your decision." San Yisheng refused bluntly.

Deng Jiugong looked at Deng Chanyu. It was so hard to get a civil servant here. Was he dissatisfied with the high or low status of the official?
Deng Chanyu winked, indicating that it should be handed over to me.

She smiled at San Yisheng, "Chanyu has known you for many years. Your virtue is known to all the world. That Hu family deceived the emperor and destroyed the Cheng Tang dynasty. Now they are accusing you of something. They will surely die by the sword one day. As the saying goes, rumors stop at the wise. You should stay in Han for the time being. Within two or three years, that Hu family will surely suffer the consequences."

After some comforting, he told San Yisheng not to feel any moral pressure, and at the same time gave Deng Jiugong a look. It was indeed a bit too much for him to be a high official just after arriving. How could he be second only to the emperor? If he did that, he would have no room for promotion.

In the end, the Han Dynasty gave San Yisheng the position of Zhongqing, which is also the position of Yaqing.

With the civil officials San Yisheng, Jiao Ge, and Mei Bo, as well as the talented Li Jing and Ding Ce, the Han Dynasty's civil officials finally had some form. The awkward situation of having military officers with internal affairs abilities of 20 or 30 serving as civil officials was no longer a problem.

"You enemy general, why don't you get off your horse? What are you waiting for?" Zhang Guifang shouted loudly. The enemy chief riding a warhorse felt dizzy and fell off the horse. Zhang Guifang rushed over and pierced the opponent's throat with a spear.

The vanguard officer Feng Lin held a mace in his hand and was shirtless. He looked even more barbaric than the barbarians. He shouted and beat the barbarians, causing them to be routed.

"Swish, swish" two sounds of breaking through the air were heard, and he subconsciously swung his mace and chopped it down, smashing a centipede that was flying like an arrow into a meat paste. Then he was bitten on the neck by another colorful big centipede.

He was so angry that he cursed and crushed the centipede with one hand, but he didn't expect that this thing was extremely poisonous. His face turned pale, his hands and feet were weak, and his heart beat very fast.

Zhang Guifang also encountered trouble. Two men with transformed arms, like mantises, emerged from the darkness and surrounded him. Fortunately, he was a martial arts master. After more than ten moves, he killed the two men, rescued the poisoned Feng Lin, and retreated to Shu County overnight.

Zhang Guifang and Feng Lin were not generals of the Han Dynasty. The one they surrendered to was Deng Chanyu, whose status was a bit like that of guests of the Four Princes of the Warring States Period.

After receiving their message, Deng Chanyu immediately rushed to Shu County. Nezha also followed when he heard that there was something exciting to watch.

Deng Chanyu first refined the detoxification pill to save Feng Lin, and then asked about their experience.

"Controlling poisonous insects? Body transformation?" She was a little confused. Are there such enemies in the Battle of the Gods?

If I can’t figure it out, I’ll ask my teacher: “Teacher, are you there?”

Nuwa smiled but said nothing.

Deng Chanyu realized the question was wrong, chuckled, and recounted the story: "Teacher, what do you think this is? Is it a technique from the Three Sects of Xuanmen?"

Nuwa hesitated for a moment and said, "The mysteries of heaven are in turmoil, and I cannot see clearly, but there is one thing that fits your description."

"what?"

"insanity!"
