The blood of the wild river Styx

Chapter 163
"You forgot, I will count!" Jiang Zi looked at Ya Bigan, and said with a very flat face: "I heard that the emperor Ling Bigan set up a recruiting hall in Chaoge? It's just that although this recruiting hall has opened, , but the actual effect is not particularly large?"

"Jiang Ziya, do you want to join the recruiting hall?" Bigan asked immediately, how smart he was.

Nodding his head slightly, Jiang Ziya smiled and said, "Bigan was wrong. He only selects talents from among the scholar-bureaucrats and the nobles' children, and if he doesn't just recruit warriors, how can he be good?"

"Could it be that this king wants to recruit ordinary people and slaves?" Bigan frowned.

"Why not? As long as you can rejuvenate the country and relieve the emperor's worries, you will be a slave at the bottom and a great talent..." Jiang Ziya looked at Bigan and said affirmatively.

After thinking about it for a while, Bigan seemed to be enlightened, so he invited Jiang Ziya to enter the recruiting hall. After the two had a long talk all night, on the second day, Bigan rang the golden bell. A great talent came, called Jiang Ziya?
"Oh! It must be good to ring the golden bell on the recommendation of Uncle Bigan, so that the widow's will will be conveyed, and Jiang Ziya will go to the palace!" The young King Zhou said with a flickering expression.

"I'm Jiang Ziya, I've met the emperor!" Jiang Ziya entered the hall, clasping his fists.

"Jiang Ziya, Chaoge is a living god, a great talent handed down from generation to generation, these uncles have told me about it." King Zhou didn't care about Jiang Ziya's rudeness, but asked with a serious face: "I just don't know, today you and I are face to face, sir. He Liangce can teach the widow?"

"The Son of Heaven ascended the throne and ruled the world for the first time. However, princes from all walks of life rose up together, and their power expanded faintly. Although they did not make it clear that they rebelled, they have already constituted a threat to Chaoge City.

At this time, if we want to seek development, only by building morality in the world and the people of Kyushu wanting to be a big business can curb the ambitions of the princes to a certain extent. "Jiang Ziya said with a smile.

"Let the common people turn their hearts to the great merchants, that's what everyone wants. However, after months of hard thinking, there is still no good plan?" King Zhou frowned slightly, looked at Jiang Ziya and said in a deep voice.

"I have nothing to do, Jiang Ziya wrote a book "Great Shang Ritual and Music Fu", which was dedicated to the emperor and circulated to all the princes. This book can uphold the sageness of the emperor and show the virtues of Yin and Shang.

Second, the Son of Heaven can vigorously support commerce and agriculture within the Yin and Shang Dynasties, so that the national power can further skyrocket, and the fact that the Grand Master and King Wucheng are in charge of the army is enough to deter the eight hundred princes..." Jiang Ziya said, suddenly shouting With a flick of the sleeve.

In the center of Longde Hall, a small stack of bamboo slips suddenly appeared, but it was a book written by Jiang Ziya at home a few days ago.
"Oh, come here, hurry up and show it to the widows, dear friends, you can also refer to one or two for reference!" King Zhou's eyes darkened, and he seemed to be interested, and immediately shouted.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" One of the attendants respectfully responded, holding a lot of bamboo slips and presenting them.

Prime Minister Shang Rong, Bigan, Wen Taishi, and other important ministers were also curious, and they grabbed the bamboo slips one by one to check. There was nothing about the generals, but Shang Rong and other civil officials, as well as Wen Taishi, the elders of the three dynasties, took a look. But suddenly the pupils shrank violently.

It turns out that Jiang Ziya's "Great Merchant Ritual and Music Fu" is divided into two parts: "Li" and "Le". Cheng, ... the main content, but mentioned in the book the theory of "Three Cardinal Principles and Five Constant Principles", asking the world to follow it?

The three cardinal guides refer to 'the king guides his ministers, the father guides his sons, and the husband guides his wife'!
But it requires the subjects, children, and wives to obey the king, father, and husband absolutely. Of course, at the same time, the king, father, and husband are also required to set a proper example.

The five constants, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness, are generally a code of conduct used to adjust and regulate the relationship between monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, and husbands and wives, although this theory is to a large extent imprisoned. However, this is definitely what King Zhou and many noble ministers would like to see, and the princes are the same.

Because King Zhou, like all princes, is aristocratic to a certain extent!

"Haha, okay, okay, Mr. Ziya is indeed a great talent. With this book, it is enough to justify his name, but the book mentions the abolition of slavery. Is this inappropriate!" King Zhou asked with a smile.

"Yeah!" For a moment, Manchu civil and military officials also looked at Jiang Ziya in surprise.

Jiang Ziya smiled and said: "There is nothing wrong with this matter. On the contrary, it is a real act of the emperor to establish virtue in the world. In the Yin and Shang dynasties, there are more than a million slaves? They live at the bottom and are worse than ordinary people. If the emperor liberates the slaves, the slaves If he becomes a commoner, he must be grateful. In this way, he will have the support of a large number of commoners all of a sudden.

Moreover, with the "Dashang Liyue Fu" as the normative code of conduct and the law as the supervision, there is no need to worry about these civilians rioting!The people do not suffer from scarcity but from inequality. Over time, this matter has spread to all the major vassal states, and in the territories of the vassals, slaves will start to be dissatisfied, and even rise up. A large number of slaves fled to Dashang for freedom.

The more the princes suppressed it, the more difficult it was to contain it. When they reacted and followed the example of the Yin Shang Dynasty to abolish slavery, not only my Yin Shang Dynasty, but also countless more people and a sudden increase in national power, and most of the princes at that time had already lost Too much popular opinion.

Only in this way, and then, vigorously develop commerce and agriculture, can the country be strengthened! "

Jiang Ziya talked eloquently, and after some debates, many civil and military officials suddenly became enlightened. Even King Zhou's eyes lit up. Shen Sheng ordered: "Propagate the will of the widow, make Jiang Ziya a doctor of the middle school, preside over the abolition of slavery, preside over the promotion and development of our agriculture and commerce, and spread the "Great Business Rites and Music Fu" to Kyushu!"

"Jiang Ziya, thank you, the Son of Heaven!" Jiang Ziya clasped his fists in both hands and said politely.

Thus, Jiang Ziya became a Chinese doctor in Chaoge from a commoner!

He acted resolutely, using the power in his hands, and immediately carried out reforms within the Yin and Shang territories, what?Jiang Ziya wants to abolish slavery, is this true?

All of a sudden, countless slaves were excited and ecstatic, and regarded Jiang Ziya as a savior, like a sage in the world, and Jiang Ziya's actions were indeed extremely fast.

In the process of abolishing slavery, there must naturally be resistance. How could those aristocratic scholars and bureaucrats be willing to let go of their slaves?For this situation, Jiang Ziya showed the ruthless side of his character, ruthless, very bloody slaughter!

"Hmm, Jiang Ziya? This person actually proposed the abolition of slavery, and did he really write the "Ode to the Rites and Music of the Great Shang Dynasty?" After hearing the news, everyone was shocked.

Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu and Beibohou didn't think too much about it, they only said that they must abide by the "Great Shang Liyue Fu" and strictly demanded their subordinates, and the same is true of Nanbohou E Chongyu.

Xiqi, Xibohou's mansion, in a spacious courtyard, Ji Chang grabbed a roll of bamboo slips in his hand and frowned, his face darkened for a while: "Jiang Ziya, abolish slavery?

There is also this "Great Shang Ritual and Music Fu", this, how can such an astonishing talent turn to Yin Shang? Could it be that my hexagrams are wrong?Xiqi is going to be prosperous, will it be wrong? "

Ji Chang retreated in the mansion for three days, studying the "Great Shang Ritual and Music Fu" and studying the pros and cons of abolishing slavery. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he was by Jiang Ziya's move, so he left the seclusion after the third day, hurriedly summoned the courtiers, and ordered Said: "The Son of Heaven promulgated the "Great Shang Ritual and Music Fu", virtue is worthy of the world, and I, Xiqi, must obey it. This is one of the topics discussed today!

Second, San Yifu, you will preside over the abolition of slavery in Xiqi by passing on the order of the Marquis. "

"Yes! The ministers respectfully abide by the order of Marquis Xibo..." All Xiqi's ministers responded.

Xibohou immediately responded to the emperor's edict, which also made Jiang Ziya's reputation even higher. It was faintly spread among the eight hundred princes.

After all, Ji Chang's reputation is not weak among the princes from all walks of life!
At the same time, Nanbohou Echongyu belonged to the territory, the capital city, and was within the Zhong family.

In the family courtyard, there is a tall tower standing on the highest floor, looking down and even seeing the entire capital city, Zhong Shan stands with his hands behind his back, and beside him are his adopted sons.

"Father, this Jiang Ziya will become a big obstacle, do you want to..." When one of the foster sons suddenly spoke, he looked at Zhong Shan and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"En!" Seeing this, the other adoptive sons fixed their eyes and looked at Zhong Shan.

"Killing Jiang Ziya, this is still impossible. He is already a disciple of explaining education, and he is protected and valued by the sage Yuanshi Tianzun. How can you kill him? If you do it, you will startle the snake. You step back and be quiet for your father." Quiet." Zhong Shan ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes, adoptive father!" After hearing this, all the adoptive sons respected each other and retreated one by one.

When everyone had left, Zhong Shan looked in the direction of Chaoge City, narrowed his eyes suddenly, showing a look of doubt and incomprehension, and murmured: "What kind of "Fu of Dashang Rites and Music" is this? The adapted version of "Zhou Li", who is Jiang Ziya?
And he proposed the abolition of slavery, so, does this person have such advanced thinking?how so?It was planned to succeed in the plan, capture the Southland, and then abolish it.

It seems that some things are very different from what I imagined, so I have to change the plan, huh, but the more this happens, the more interesting it is, Jiang Ziya, explaining the teaching? "

While muttering to himself, Zhong Shan's eyes were so deep that people couldn't see the depth.

Time passed so slowly, and two years passed in a flash. During these two years, Jiang Ziya's name spread not only throughout the great merchants, but also among the eight hundred vassal states.

While gaining great prestige, his official position was also promoted to senior doctor, which is almost only inferior to the positions of prime minister and grand master. In just two years, such a promotion?
This is simply a success, but despite the envy of countless officials, they can't do anything to Jiang Ziya. Who let King Zhou trust Jiang Ziya so much?

On this day, in Chaoge Longde Hall, Prime Minister Shang Rong played: "Three days after the old minister's performance, it will be the birthday of Empress Nuwa, but it is necessary for Your Majesty to lead the officials and send incense."

"Om!" At this moment, King Zhou was about to agree, after all, the matter was a matter of course, but suddenly, there seemed to be a gust of wind blowing towards King Zhou in the hall, causing King Zhou to In a trance, he asked in a strange way: "Nuwa, what merits do you have?

How dare the widow personally lead civil and military officials to the Nuwa temple to pray for blessings? "

"Well, it looks like the method of a Western sage..." Jiang Ziya, who was wearing a doctor's attire among the officials below, suddenly narrowed his eyes and said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, how can you say that?" Except for Jiang Ziya, the officials were shocked for a while, and when their complexions changed drastically, Shang Rong knelt down and said loudly: "Nuwa Empress is the mother of the human race, and the entire human race is Nuwa." It was created by the empress, and Nuwa mended the sky..., the empress Nuwa is so ancient and sacred, she should be worshipped."

"Okay, since that's the case, after three days, the widows should go to pay incense!" King Zhou said.

"Is everything about to start?" Jiang Ziya narrowed his eyes, but he didn't speak. After leaving the court, he left Longde Hall alone and returned to his mansion.

Naturally, he did not sincerely take refuge in, assist King Zhou, help Yin Shang, and the purpose of entering Chaoge Chaotang was to make a name in one fell swoop, improve his own reputation, and pass it on to the world.

After slavery was abolished, Jiang Ziya wanted to leave a long time ago, because only when he left Chaoge and became a prince and minister in Xiqi, the apotheosis of the gods would really start and unfold slowly.

It’s just that there has never been a chance. If you escape from Chaoge for no reason, you will definitely be arrested by King Zhou’s order. Moreover, the identity of the fugitive minister will destroy the prestige that has been accumulated so hard, making all previous efforts seem useless. so-so.

"The Xiangxiang Nuwa Temple this time is just an opportunity. Perhaps, this is the opportunity that Yuanshi Tianzun discussed with other saints and created for me." Jiang Ziya thought.

Three days later, King Zhou sent incense to the Nuwa Temple and led all the civil and military officials to step in. Jiang Ziya was naturally present. At the same time, Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountains, on the Daotai?
"Om!" Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly opened his eyes, and sneered: "Nuwa, don't you want to stay out of the calamity without causing karma? Poor Dao, I want to use your hand to start the calamity."

Speaking of Yuanshi Tianzun, there was a strange light in his eyes, he raised his right hand, and pressed the formula, and when the Taoist rhyme was lingering, it seemed that there was a strange emanation, appearing in the Nuwa Temple.
