Investiture of the Gods: I am Bigan, the Master of Conspiracy

Chapter 92: The Edict to Attack Shang and the Imperial Edict to Suppress the Bandits!
After completing a series of preparations, Xiqi reluctantly summarized some of the crimes of starting a rebellion and immediately chose to attack Shang!

It is a taboo to act without a legitimate reason, so no matter what, we must claim the name of justice!
Only in this way can we attract people from all directions to come and join us. If we do not have the name of justice, we will be regarded as traitors.

No matter what, the saint's plan, even if it was originally planned by Yin Ziyu, made the whole layout fall apart, he was still able to organize so many crimes.

However, in terms of this crime, Yin Ziyu has begun to surpass Emperor Xin.

After everything was ready, Xiqi issued a manifesto that instantly spread throughout the world!

Let all the people in the world witness this!

Today, the Shang Dynasty is lawless, treacherous and corrupt officials are rampant, and King Tang’s 60,000-year foundation has been destroyed by the hands of villains!

The main culprit is the treacherous merchant Bi Gan, who is one of them. His numerous crimes are abominable to both humans and gods, and are too numerous to list!

Bigan had ulterior motives and harbored evil intentions. In the past, Emperor Xin wrote poems to blaspheme the goddess Nuwa, but this villain controlled the fortune of the Shang Dynasty. From this point of view, the blasphemy of the Holy Mother by the Emperor was closely related to this villain.

Nuwa is the mother of the human race. Emperor Xin's action angered the heavens, causing the Shang Dynasty to become unstable and its foundation to crumble. This was Bigan's main sin!

Bigan also urged Emperor Xin to build the Zhaixing Tower, under the pretext of showing off the majesty of the Shang Dynasty, but in fact it was ruining the luck of the Shang Dynasty and putting the country in jeopardy.

What's worse, after the Zhaixing Tower was completed, Bi Gan presented countless beauties and fine wines to Emperor Xin, which led him to indulge in wine and sex and ignore state affairs, which allowed him to come to power.

In the court, evil people are in power, and loyal people are in dire straits. Bi Gan is authoritarian and domineering, controlling the government and acting arbitrarily. The kingdom of King Tang is in his hands, and it is gradually becoming dangerous. This is his second crime!
Queen Jiang was a virtuous woman with the world at heart. Seeing the gradual decline of the Shang Dynasty, she spoke frankly and made suggestions in an attempt to awaken Emperor Xin.

However, Bigan and the evil queen Daji colluded with each other and framed Queen Jiang. Poor Queen Jiang, despite her sincerity, was murdered and died unjustly.

Queen Jiang's father, Duke Dongbo Jiang Hengchu, redressed his daughter's grievances and was also murdered due to Bi Gan's slander. Bi Gan's evil deeds chilled the hearts of loyal and good people and infuriated the world. These are his third crimes!

Huang Fei, the sister of Huang Feihu, the King of Wucheng, who guards the country, has a strong character. Seeing the chaos in the court, she risked her life to give frank advice to Emperor Xin.

Instead of persuading Emperor Xin to accept his advice, Bigan fanned the flames, causing Concubine Huang to be thrown to death by Emperor Xin in a rage.

Huang Feihu's family has been loyal for generations, but he suffered such a misfortune. Bi Gan is indeed guilty of heinous crimes. These are his four crimes!
My elder brother Bo Yikao was gentle, kind, respectful and frugal. He traveled to Chaoge to help Xiqi and the Shang Dynasty out of trouble. Bigan was jealous of Bo Yikao's talent and framed him. He brutally killed Bo Yikao and even cruelly made his meat into meat buns, forcing my father Ji Chang to eat them. Such behavior is outrageous to both heaven and man. Bigan's poison is worse than that of snakes and scorpions. These are his five sins!
Today, the Shang Dynasty is in chaos because of Bi Gan, and loyal and good people are either dead or fleeing.

I, Ji Fa, as the son of Duke Xibo, cannot bear to see the world fall into danger, and cannot bear to see the human race's country destroyed. In order to save the people from the dire straits and to restore peace and order to the world, I follow the will of heaven and the will of the people and raise an army to attack Shang!
This manifesto instantly began to sweep across the entire prehistoric world, immediately shocking all the immortals from all sides of the prehistoric world.

"Wen Zhong, the Grand Tutor of the Shang Dynasty, has been on a twenty-year expedition to the North Sea, and has returned victorious and virtuous!"

A huge voice instantly resounded throughout Chaoge, and even Emperor Xin in Zhaixing Tower was overjoyed: "Hahahaha, the Grand Tutor is back!"

The bells on the top of Chaoge City rang, and the army returned in triumph, with twelve vermilion battle flags fluttering in the wind.

"Wen Zhong, the Grand Tutor of the Shang Dynasty, has returned victorious from a twenty-year expedition to the North Sea!"

"."

The news of Desheng was spread by the immortal soldiers, who shouted loudly, and finally resounded throughout Chaoge.

And when the roar of Desheng penetrated the clouds, the whole Chaoge instantly became boiling.

Yin Ziyu had already received the news that Wen Zhong was returning, and went out of the city to greet him in person!
At this time, from a place far to the north of the Chaoge city gate, a huge momentum rolled in.

Yin Ziyu watched clearly as the dark unicorn in the inky smoke and dust tore through the sky on the distant horizon. Behind it, three hundred thousand immortal soldiers crushed the wasteland, and the laws of heaven and earth they brought up turned the spiritual energy within a million miles into a vortex.

In a very short time, the black unicorn's roar shattered the clouds, Wen Zhong's long silver beard was covered with frost and snow from the North Sea, and the male and female whips in his hands carried unparalleled power. With every step he took, ripples in space exploded under his feet.

Behind Wen Zhong, the Four Heavenly Kings followed closely, and their ten thousand feet tall Dharma images covered the sky and the sun.

Behind the four heavenly kings was a phalanx of elite celestial beings. Each soldier's armor was adorned with golden patterns condensed from the Yin and Shang dynasties, and their movements resonated with the vital energy of heaven and earth.

Soon, Wen Zhong came in front of Yin Ziyu and got off the Mo Qilin.

"Ah Xiang is waiting here!"

Yin Ziyu bowed and said, "Grand Master, you have fought for twenty years and have worked hard!"

Yin Ziyu raised his hand and looked at the 300,000-strong army. With a wave of his hand, thousands of golden lights of luck burst out in an instant, sprinkling like sweet rain on all the soldiers.

These faces full of fighting spirit were soothed by luck, and suddenly they were all filled with excitement.

These elite soldiers, nurtured by the fortune of the Shang Dynasty, have only reached the entry level of celestial immortals, but the aura of half of the soldiers has already reached the threshold of profound immortals.

In contrast, the current heaven has a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers, but because they don’t have much luck and there are not many celestial beings, they are all supported by the huge amount of peaches.

"Thank you for your hard work, Prime Minister Ya. The North Sea Monsters have repeatedly invaded our borders. If we can successfully pacify them this time, we will surely ensure that the Northern Frontier will be worry-free for hundreds of years!"

"Please invite the Grand Master into the city, we have something important to discuss!"

After hearing this, Wen Zhong's face turned serious. Of course, Wen Zhong knew everything that happened in the world.

Being on the front line, I was also anxious, but fortunately, I felt relieved after hearing that Yin Ziyu and Shang Rong had stabilized the government.

After successfully pacifying Beihai, Wen Zhong hurried back to Chaoge and, along the way, put down the rebellion of Liu Futong's seventy-two princes.

At this time, the power of the Shang Dynasty was extremely stable, with Shang Rong in charge of government affairs, Yin Ziyu in charge of destiny, and Wen Zhong in charge of military power.

Yin Ziyu naturally stabilized the situation so that Emperor Xin's madness could not spread to the lower levels.

In the original Conferred God Ceremony, Emperor Xin blasphemed Nuwa, and Shang Rong and Bigan were killed right after. The entire Shang Dynasty collapsed in an instant.

And now, even if Emperor Xin is making trouble, he cannot shake the foundation.

Of course, Yin Ziyu also tried his best to stabilize his luck, otherwise if his luck was ruined, everything would be gone.

Wen Zhong went to meet Emperor Xin first, and the gilded eaves of the Zhaixing Tower pierced the clouds of heaven.

Wen Zhong rode on the black unicorn and passed through the three palaces in the light of lightning.

Even though Emperor Xin's brutality intimidated his ministers, Wen Zhong's character was as fierce as thunder and lightning, and he was not afraid of anyone.

Looking at the Tongtian Fairy Pavilion rising from the ground in front of him, Wen Zhong also frowned.

The entire building is based on the innate Bagua. Sixty carved sacred trees absorb and exhale spiritual energy, and the jade rings hanging on the eaves can even ring with the flow of celestial phenomena. It is definitely not an ordinary fairy pavilion for luxury and pleasure.

Wen Zhong looked at this fairy building, and considering his experience of seeking the Tao with Yin Ziyu since childhood, he naturally understood this close friend very well.

I am impetuous in doing things, but my close friend is very resourceful. There must be a deep meaning behind the construction of this fairy pavilion. I can ask him after meeting Emperor Xin.

Wen Zhong absolutely did not believe those who said that Yin Ziyu was a treacherous villain.

When Wen Zhong stepped into the main hall of Zhaixing Tower, the smell of sandalwood mixed with blood hit him in the face.

It must be that Emperor Xin just killed the unlucky guy who angered him.

When Emperor Xin saw Wen Zhong approach, he threw down his wine cup and staggered to his feet, his crown tassels clanging against each other. "Teacher! It's been twenty years since we last met. I miss you so much!"

"shut up!"

Wen Zhong looked at the disciple in front of him, and suddenly became angry, and immediately shouted angrily.

When Wen Zhong came to Zhaixing Tower this time, Yin Ziyu did not give him any instructions. Yin Ziyu knew Wen Zhong's character and could not persuade him. Besides, Yin Ziyu knew that Emperor Xin had been afraid of Wen Zhong since he was a child, and even Wen Zhong's eyes of loyalty and treachery and his thunder skills could suppress Emperor Xin.

Therefore, Yin Ziyu didn't instruct Wen Zhong, as only Wen Zhong could confront Emperor Xin. "Your Majesty, as the Emperor of Man, is so indulgent. Do you realize that desecrating the statue of Nuwa has incurred the wrath of the Sage? Your Majesty cooked and killed Ji Chang's son. Killing him is fine. Xiqi was already rebellious, but Your Majesty let Ji Chang return west, letting a tiger go back to the mountains. Your Majesty, do you realize the magnitude of your mistake?"

Wen Zhong angrily scolded Emperor Xin, but Emperor Xin did not dare to retort. Even Su Daji and others all stayed away from him and did not dare to get close.

After cursing, Wen Zhong still had countless doubts, so he first went down from the Zhaixing Tower to see Yin Ziyu.

In the sacrificial ceremony hall, sixty Jiazi flags appeared in Yin Ziyu's hands, connected to the sixty strong passes of the entire Shang Dynasty.

The entire territory of the Great Shang Dynasty, except for the areas of the four nobles in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest, was under the control of Yin Ziyu, becoming a real large-scale network.

Soon, Yin Ziyu received the news of Xiqi’s uprising from the entire formation.

After Wen Zhong entered the ritual hall, Yin Ziyu said, "Grandmaster, you've been fighting fiercely in the North Sea for twenty years. I'm afraid these two whips must have drunk all the blood of the demon race."

Wen Zhong was straightforward and immediately asked, "Zi Yu built this Zhaixing Tower for Your Majesty. What's the secret behind this tower? I naturally don't believe the rumors that you're a traitor and a traitor to the country. But this tower cost countless fortunes. What secrets does it hold?"

Yin Ziyu knew that Wen Zhong would ask, so he immediately accused Emperor Xin of blaspheming Nuwa, causing his luck to plummet. He knew that once it plummeted, it would flow to other places.

The Star-Picking Tower was built to allow good fortune to flow to all living beings instead of flowing into Xiqi, and to stabilize the fortune of the Shang Dynasty.

Although the fortune of Da Shang has declined a lot, at least it is still stable now.

Wen Zhong sighed after hearing this, "As expected of you, Ziyu. Your ability to plan and strategize is far superior to mine. I heard that you, Ziyu, sorted out the origins of the primordial world, gained Heavenly Merit, became a sage of the human race, and stabilized the fortunes of the Shang Dynasty. I am also overjoyed. Fortunately, such a major event occurred in Chaoge, and with Ziyu in control of the overall situation, the Cheng Tang Dynasty was able to stabilize!"

At this time, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother came out. After seeing the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, Wen Zhong was immediately surprised, and then paid homage to her deeply.

"Disciple Wen Zhong, I pay my respects to Master. I never thought that Master would come to Chaoge!"

The Golden Spirit Holy Mother nodded and said, "Stand up. I have been in Chaoge for more than ten years. It was your master who sent me to Chaoge to protect Ziyu!"

Wen Zhong was shocked when he heard this: "The Saint Patriarch sent Master to protect Zi Yu!"

Wen Zhong was unaware of many things, including what happened in Huoyun Cave.

Yin Ziyu recounted in detail everything that happened after Wen Zhong went on the expedition, including the matters of Queen Jiang and Concubine Huang. He told them all truthfully!
After hearing this, Wen Zhong sighed and couldn't calm down for a long time.

"I never thought Huang Feihu was actually a spy from Xiqi. I accepted him as my disciple and taught him wholeheartedly, but I never thought this would happen!"

The Golden Spirit Mother said, "Wen Zhong, you don't need to blame yourself. The three religions have been jointly signing the Conferred God List for a long time, so it is common sense to make arrangements early on!"

Wen Zhong sighed, "If that's the case, who knows how many of them are spies!"

Yin Ziyu consoled him, "Brother Weizi Qi, Queen Jiang, Concubine Huang, and even Chong Heihu have already rebelled. As for the others, they are harmless. I am in charge of destiny, the Grand Tutor is in charge of military affairs, and the Shang Xiang is in charge of government affairs. Everything will be stable!"

Wen Zhong sighed after hearing this: "Zi Yu is a ruler who is incompetent at the top but governs with integrity at the bottom. He has maintained the stability of the Cheng Tang dynasty for over a decade. I admire his planning! Your Majesty, can't you just let things run smoothly?"

Yin Ziyu shook his head: "No, we can't do it for now. Even if we can, we can't do it. This catastrophe is mainly aimed at destroying the Cheng Tang Dynasty. The root cause is that the Cheng Tang Dynasty is not easy for them. So, in the plan to destroy the Cheng Tang Dynasty, anything that happens is reasonable. If His Majesty recovers, it will be the beginning of the battle of the saints!"

From the time Emperor Yi entrusted his son to Yin Ziyu, he had already decided that the main purpose of this Conferred God Ceremony was to overthrow King Cheng Tang's empire, and to take advantage of this opportunity to destroy the Jiejiao sect.

This is its essence, and everything that happens is moving towards these two essences.

However, no one in the prehistoric world could see through these essences, not even Tongtian could see through them until the last moment.

"what!"

Wen Zhong exclaimed in surprise after hearing this, his face full of disbelief!

"A battle between saints, Ziyu, is it really possible?"

Yin Ziyu sighed softly, "Your Majesty was plotted against because you wanted to gather the destiny of the human race and released the three Great Shang manifestos. If Your Majesty returns to normal, it will surely be a battle of saints!"

Yin Ziyu did not continue to speak. Even if Emperor Xin would not return to normal, the final result would be the War of Saints, and Emperor Xin's return to normal would make the War of Saints come earlier.

And Yin Ziyu's various plans were also to prevent the saint from directly attacking.

After listening to Yin Ziyu's explanation, Wen Zhong realized that there was a lot of meaning in it. "So, Your Majesty, this is the best solution?"

Yin Ziyu nodded. "Yes, Your Majesty, this is the most appropriate thing to do. However, it also provides them with an excuse to rebel. Now Xiqi has already rebelled, and they are even issuing a proclamation to the whole country in the name of punishing treacherous officials!"

At that moment, Yin Ziyu recited the entire proclamation of war.

Wen Zhong frowned immediately. "I never expected them to put all the blame on you, Ziyu! I never expected Yin Jiao and Yin Hong to join forces with them to destroy the Cheng Tang Empire!"

Yin Ziyu was very calm: "It seems that I have driven the other party to such extreme pain that he can't wait to kill me. It's understandable that he puts the blame on me! However, now that the Grand Tutor has just returned to the court, I have to trouble him to continue the expedition. After all, it's understandable that the other party is raising an army now. Otherwise, if the Duke of Dongbo is pacified, they will lose the initiative!"

Wen Zhong immediately said, "Zi Yu, there's no need to say that. This is my duty. This time, I returned to the court and took advantage of the situation to destroy Liu Futong's seventy-two princes. I discovered that Chong Heihu was behind this!"

Yin Ziyu nodded: "Of course it's Chong Heihu. Now Chong Heihu has defected to Xiqi. If Xiqi rises up in rebellion, Chong Heihu will definitely follow suit. However, everything depends on Xiqi!"

Wen Zhong made a prompt decision: "Since that's the case, I can march to Xiqi!"

Yin Ziyu pondered for a moment and said, "Since the enemy has issued a proclamation to raise an army, we also need an imperial edict to suppress the enemy. Grand Master, please wait for me to write an imperial edict!"

The other party put all the blame on Yin Ziyu for being a traitor, and Yin Ziyu naturally had to issue an imperial edict to the world and then send troops to attack.

After a little thought, Yin Ziyu wrote an imperial edict to suppress the rebels, which was announced to the world in the tone of the imperial court.

However, the matter of blaspheming Nuwa was ignored, because no matter what, the court could not clarify the matter.

After Wen Zhong and the Golden Spirit Holy Mother read the imperial edict to punish the rebels, they both agreed.

The princes and nations obeyed the will of the Emperor. Ji Fa of Xiqi broke her promise, framed loyal and good people and started an army, used foreign evildoers to confuse the people and confuse right and wrong.

Now I heard that Zhongwu, following the order of the Emperor of Man, holds the destiny of the Shang Dynasty in his hands. I am exposing the numerous crimes of these traitors and vowing to wipe out the evil and restore peace to the world!
Bi Ji wildly claimed that Su Daji was causing chaos in the harem, but she did not know that this woman was originally presented by Ji Chang. If Su Daji was the culprit, then it was Xiqi who had evil ambitions and used the beauty trap to confuse the king in an attempt to undermine the foundation of the Shang Dynasty from within.

Su Daji entered the palace because Ji Chang persuaded Jizhou Hou Su Hu to come and personally sent her to the palace. But now he is trying to shift the blame to others. It is ridiculous and his heart is despicable!

Everyone in the world knows that Yabi Bigan, in charge of the sacrifices of the Shang Dynasty, built the Star-Picking Tower, established the Ganzhi calendar, stabilized the fortune, and ensured the people's livelihood.

The people of Xiqi had long coveted King Cheng Tang's kingdom. Seeing that the prime minister was able to turn the tide, they spread rumors and framed him, attempting to undermine the foundation of the country with false words.

The reason why he hated Ya Xiang was not because of Ya Xiang's fault, but because of Ya Xiang's merit in protecting the Shang Dynasty!

The truth about Queen Jiang's affair cannot be distorted. She attempted to get hold of the important power of sacrifice, formed a clique, and intended to overthrow the government of the Shang Dynasty.

The right to offer sacrifices is an important responsibility to connect heaven and earth and maintain the destiny of the country. How can women be allowed to interfere?
His act of treason was his own fault, but Xiqi whitewashed him as a virtuous man and wrongly accused him. This kind of distortion of right and wrong is intolerable!
The incident of Concubine Huang is even more solid evidence of Xiqi's conspiracy. Concubine Huang has been accustomed to the incident of Queen Jiang for more than ten years. Why did Concubine Huang suddenly commit a crime at this time? The timing is strange.

The Huang family secretly colluded with Xiqi and had long harbored the intention of rebellion. When Huang Feihu defected, someone even assisted him. Their evil ambitions were obvious!
Ji Chang was nothing but a fraud who stole fame. His so-called sixty-four hexagrams were all stolen from others to gain fame and reputation.

When discussing the Tao, he could not even comprehend the sixty-four hexagrams of his own Tao, yet he acted like a god in front of the people of the world.

In order to return to Xiqi, Ji Chang swore an oath on the banks of Luo River in Chaoge that his descendants would never rebel. His words are still fresh in people's minds and the people of Chaoge all know about it. However, as soon as he returned to Xiqi, his son Ji Fa raised an army.

Such a traitor dares to call himself righteous, which is a laughing stock in the world.

Just over a month after the oath of Luoshui, they rebelled. Never before have we seen such shameless rebels. Grand Tutor Wen Zhong personally led the royal army into battle, not out of personal vengeance, but to annihilate the rebels, protect the country, and safeguard the people! Anyone who aids the rebels is a traitor, and anyone who returns from their mistakes will be forgiven.

The main point of the manifesto was to use the recent oath of Luoshui to identify him as a traitor. He had no way of exonerating himself from this. He had just sworn the oath and then rebelled. This was known to everyone in Chaoge.
