Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 335 Reactions from all parties
Ji Chang's grandfather, Ji Dan, was originally a nomadic people from the west. He migrated with his tribe into the Central Plains and turned the society into a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural one. Now Bo Yikao wanted to return to the birthplace of his ancestors to live, which was considered self-exile.

Bo Yikao expressed his understanding, "Han is a powerful state. Xiqi has only two routes to break through, north and east. Father must have considered my sworn brotherhood with Yuan Hong, so the Crown Prince can destroy Yuan Hong, capture his elite troops, break through the five passes from the north and east, and assemble an alliance with all the princes to jointly attack and destroy Shang."

After Ji Chang was buried, Bo Yikao planned to leave Xiqi City with his wife and some of his followers. He planned to build a new city called "Jincheng" in the northwest direction.

He is still a part of the future Zhou Kingdom, and taking the initiative to request to pacify the western border of the Zhou Kingdom is also in line with the interests of the Zhou Kingdom.

With Ji Chang and Bo Yikao at the helm, Ji Fa could easily lead his troops to fight the Western Rong every few days, taking everything he could find, including gold, silver, jewelry, people, and livestock. Now that Ji Fa has ascended to the throne, no one dares to let him risk his life on the battlefield. What if something goes wrong? He still has a hundred or eighty brothers waiting behind him! If something were to happen, how chaotic would it be? The civil and military officials could not bear such chaos.

The moment Ji Fa became the heir, even if he had completely bid farewell to the battlefield, his strategy towards the Western Rong people became to appease them, and Bo Yikao was very good at this.

Before, they used swords to rob directly, and now they rely on verbal tricks, all in order to absorb nutrients from the Xirong people and transform them into combat power for Xiqi.

The news of Ji Chang's death spread quickly.

The first country to know about this was the Han Dynasty.

Deng Zhong passed the information back to Nandu overnight.

Deng Chanyu calculated with her fingers and found that Ji Chang should actually have some life left. He might not be able to live to the age of ninety-seven in the original time and space, but he could live to about ninety-five.

God's will did not change, but Ji Chang's body changed. He was an old man in his nineties, but he was starved to death by Wen Zhong, a young man who was over two hundred years old. How tragic.

God says you can live to be ninety-five years old, which is the maximum. If you are hit by a sword, you will die as a mortal. God will not give you any more blood.

When Tongtian Patriarch signed the Conferred God List in Biyou Palace, he said, "Our three religions have jointly discussed the Conferred God List. Among them, there are loyal ministers and righteous men who are on the list, and there are those who have achieved the path to godhood without becoming immortals. Each has their own depth and thickness, and they are predestined to each other. Therefore, gods have different ranks and different orders of death."

Yuanshi Tianzun wanted all the disciples of Jiejiao to fill the list, but Tongtian made a patch here and said that immortals can be on the list, loyal ministers and righteous men can also be on the list, you can't let all the disciples of Jiejiao take the blame.

For someone like Ma to be on the list, the prerequisite was that she committed suicide by hanging, but the key was that she and Jiang Ziya were husband and wife.

Ji Chang died of natural causes, and this kind of death due to old age is not included in the list.

When Ji Chang passed away, it was only right that the Han State send people to express condolences.

As one of the "Four Friends" in the past, San Yisheng must go.

Tai Dian died in battle at Mount Qishan because he was too crazy.

The name Hongyao is a bit exaggerated. When Deng Chanyu broke through to the Xuanxian realm last year, this person died of illness.

Now only San Yisheng and Nangong Shi are left of the "Four Friends".

Had Bo Yikao succeeded to the throne, San Yisheng might have returned to Xiqi. Now, inexplicably, he's become Ji Fa. Public sources claim that Ji Chang confirmed Ji Fa's position as crown prince before his death. This, haha, sounds like a conspiracy. San Yisheng said, "I don't believe it!" At Deng Jiugong's urging, the civil official decided to continue playing mahjong in Han. Not right. Loyalty. Among the mourners, San Yisheng and Huang Feihu were also included.

Huang Feihu and Ji Chang have always had a good relationship. Now that his old friend has passed away, it is reasonable for him to go to pay his respects and bid him farewell.

There are still too few educated people in the Han Kingdom, so Deng Chanyu, a person with a strong "religious" color, also went to make up the number.

Classmate Daji picked up her brush and wrote the word "甸" herself. How can I describe this word? It was filled with gusts of cold wind and deathly air, which could even make the Black and White Impermanence shake their heads. I can only say that it was written very well. Don't write it next time.

I heard that Ji Chang died and Ji Fa succeeded him.

Yuan Hong, who was at Jiameng Pass and was preparing to build a city in the way of the Central Plains people, was so angry that he couldn't say a word for a long time.

The people of the Central Plains are so cunning! How can you deceive the barbarians like this? Where is your conscience?
He led his people for thousands of miles south to rescue Xiqi, and then became sworn brothers with Bo Yikao because he valued his status as the crown prince. Now Bo Yikao is essentially exiled, so what is the point of becoming sworn brothers?
The Xiqi envoy brought a handwritten letter from Ji Fa, reaffirming bilateral friendship and expressing his willingness to treat Yuan Hong like a brother. This time, Yuan Hong refused to believe a word of the letter. "You've already exiled your eldest brother, and you still want to treat me like you did Bo Yikao?" "Don't talk nonsense. If you want a war, then let's fight. Come and ask for my iron rod!"
But Bai Ze had warned him before that Xiqi represented God's will. It was okay not to help, but it was best not to make enemies.

Yuan Hong was also in a dilemma and could only vaguely pass it off. Ally? Ah, yes, yes. Brother? Ah, yes, yes.

He wanted to find Ji Xukun to vent his anger, but when he looked for him, he found that the man had already run back to Xiqi.

When King Zhou heard that Ji Chang was dead, he laughed heartily. "Finally! If you don't die soon, you'll starve me to death. Quick, summon E Lai to the palace. I want to sleep side by side with my fierce general tonight!"

Yin Jiao in Chaoge City didn't feel anything about Ji Chang's death. Let him die. It has nothing to do with me.

Dong Bohou Jiang Huanchu had some other thoughts. He thought that his grandson Yin Jiao was just okay, but he was not as good as his own son, his own grandson.

Fighting for the Shang Dynasty with all my might for my entire life? It's really a loss.

He was somewhat tempted by the secret suggestion from Xiqi that Qi, Zhou and Han should form an alliance to divide the territory of Shang Dynasty.

Ji Chang died peacefully. When the word "葬" (Dedication) written by Daji was hung in the middle, not only the evil spirits but also the guests were terrified. The banquet scene was extremely quiet, which seemed very "courteous".

All these etiquettes were invented by Ji Dan. There were relative norms and requirements for where family members and guests should stand.

Ji Chang did not stand up from the coffin. The entire burial process was peaceful. There was no scene where a bespectacled elementary school student jumped out to claim that Ji Chang did not die of natural causes and that the murderer was someone.

Everything was harmonious. Even Yin Hong, who was said to abdicate to Ji Fa, came out for a moment. He and Deng Chanyu had actually met once, but there were so many people at the scene, and he was surrounded by "guards" like a human wall, forming a solid wall. Even Huang Feihu was not seen, let alone Deng Chanyu.

"Shangxian. Shangxian? Empress Deng?" The word "empress" gave Deng Chanyu goosebumps. Who was it? She must be dying, calling him something so corny.
