Days are everlasting

Chapter 10 Hajj

To be precise, Shang Ke is not the prime minister, the title of prime minister was added to him by Bigan himself.

In the official system of Dashang, there is such a position as "President". This position is also called "Bao" and "Yin". It assists the king of Shang in making decisions, but it is not permanent. give others?

But without a prime minister, there still needs to be one person as the head of the hundred officials.

"Teacher" is the general term for both civil and military official positions. The chief of the military officer is called the teacher, and the civil official is the official position in charge of rituals and music. There are grand teachers and junior teachers.

Shang Ke is a young teacher, in charge of rites and music, and has a high status among the internal service officials serving in the court. Therefore, in Bigan's view, his status can be said to be equivalent to the prime minister of later generations.

It would be fine if Shang Ke was a sensible prime minister, but as a representative of the old aristocracy, he was so stubborn that Bigan secretly drew circles and cursed him many times.

Shang Ke's age is naturally not too old in later generations, but in this era, he is already ready to abdicate and make way for the virtuous.

If the intrigue between the court and the central government is excluded, the progress of the whole project is still very gratifying.

After spending several years, the road leading to Chaoge was finally successfully built, and the matter of moving the capital was officially put on the agenda.

Bigan originally thought that this matter could be easily resolved. After all, such a major event as moving the capital also required prayers. A few years ago, a rough procedure had been established. As long as his father Wang Wending prayed and interpreted the tortoise shell, he would give a "diruo", That is to say, the result of "God allows it" is fine, but unfortunately the sky does not follow people's wishes, and Wen Ding is seriously ill.

Bigan pinched his fingers and calculated, Wen Ding had only been king of Shang for eleven years now, and the time was not too long or too short.

Although he didn't want his father who was good to him to collapse, Bigan was still prepared in his heart.

Wen Ding's condition is too serious to pray, and the internal service officers of China and North Korea are also ready for the succession of the throne.

Zixian was established as the prince early in the morning. After Wen Ding fell ill, he presided over the court, but nothing happened.

Bigan simply lived in the palace. He and Zixian are the queen's legitimate sons. The rest of the younger brothers, except for one Xu Yu who is about the same age as Bigan, are still children and can't help. Also just know in a daze.

On the day Wen Ding died, Wen Ding, Bigan and other sons were all called to his bedside.

He gave birth to so many children, naturally not just for spreading the branches and leaves.

Dashang has come to a fork in the road now, Wen Ding needs enough people to help him, Wen Ding's sons, as Zi Xian's younger brothers, are his natural assistants, and most of them are still young, as long as Zi Xian pays attention Teach me, don't worry about these princes not agreeing with him.

Unlike the former king Wu Yi who died on the way to the expedition, Wen Ding died in the palace, and his descendants clearly saw his expression before he died.

The official system of Dashang stipulates that there are two kinds of officials in Dashang. One is the internal service officials who serve in China and North Korea, that is, the ministers in the court, and the other is the foreign service officials outside Wang Ji, who serve as officials of various countries. The leaders Hou and Bo are typical representatives.

Although these leaders of the Fang Kingdom are nominally foreign officials of the Great Merchants, many of them have a heart of disobedience. The typical representative is the Zhou tribe on Xiqi's side.

When Wen Ding was dying, he left this world with the worry of causing chaos in the other country.

After Wen Ding collapsed, Zixian officially ascended the throne, named Emperor Yi.

As a soul of later generations, Bigan's title has always been wrong.

The Xia Dynasty called their rulers "Later", and the Shang Dynasty called them "Di".

Dashang believed that the "emperor" was their ancestor, and the emperors of all dynasties were "at the emperor's side" after the collapse of the emperor, acting as a bridge between heaven and earth.

Since he is a god and emperor after death, he is called Emperor XX when he is in the human world. For example, the exact title of the first emperor Wending should be Emperor Wending.

The emperor titles of Shang kings are taken according to their birthdays and heavenly stems. Before Emperor Yi, there were several Shang kings who were born on the second day. (Zhong), Xiao and other characters, the nearest one is Emperor Yi and Bigan's grandfather, Emperor Wuyi.

After the death of Emperor Yi, another emperor born on the second day will succeed to the throne, and other words will be added in front of the word "Di Yi". Of course, the current Emperor Yi is only Zixian's exclusive name.

If the big business still perished during the Emperor Xin period, Emperor Yi would not be able to wait for the day when his own word B was added.

Of course, in any case, the history of Dashang has opened a new chapter.

According to Wen Ding's order before his death, Shang Ke, a young teacher, was promoted to be a grand teacher, and Bigan was changed to be a young teacher.

Whether Shang Ke is a grand teacher or a young teacher can't change the fact that he is faintly the leader of the officials, so Wen Ding's main purpose is to promote Bigan, the second son, so that he can help Zixian well.

When Wen Ding collapsed and Emperor Yi succeeded to the throne, foreign service officials needed to come to the capital of Yin for pilgrimage.

In addition to the Marquis and Bo, foreign service officials also included men who served the dynasty and guards who guarded the border. They were the main force used by the merchants to resist foreigners and contain the princes and countries.

Ji Chang, the leader of the Zhou tribe, was also there, along with his eldest son Bo Yi Kao.

Of course, the current Zhou Shizi is not called Bo Yi Kao, "Kao, Lao Ye", this word is a respectful name for elders, and it is usually used on dead people. Should the eldest son take a ghostly name like "Ji Kao"?

The so-called Bo Yi Kao is the honorific title given to him by later generations, at least the last word Kao is the honorific title.

Bo, is the ranking, so the name of Ji Chang's eldest son, Zheng'er Bajing, should be Ji Yi.

When Bigan saw that Xibo Jichang and his eldest son Ji Yi were on a pilgrimage in the message sent by Zhou Bu, he was stunned for a while.

Wait a minute, what the hell is Ji Yi?

Back then, when he and Shang Rong went to seal Ji Li, Ji Chang, who was in charge of entertaining, once introduced his heirs.

However, when introducing children to people, there is a habit of adding rankings in this era, so it is very possible that Bigan would automatically add "kao" when he heard the word "Boyi".

Although he could figure out what was going on, Bigan still couldn't accept that Bo Yi Kao, who had been passed down for so many years, was not his real name.

To be reasonable, he once really thought that Ji Chang's eldest son was called Ji Kao, and complacently thought that he was very smart.

It feels like my face is swollen!

Although I already know that Bo Yi Kao's correct name should not be this, but after so many years, Bi Gan is used to it. As long as he doesn't need to call this person by his name, he still continues to call him "Bo Yi Kao" in his heart. .

Ji Chang came to Anyang, the capital of Yin, to pay homage to the new king, and even paid a special visit to Bigan, smiling at Yan Yan, as if he completely forgot how his father Ji Li was killed by a big merchant.

When it comes to the cause of Ji Li's death, there is no doubt that Bigan and Ji Chang have an enmity, or a major enmity.

Ji Chang pretended well, but Bo Yi Kao's acting ability was not as strong as Nai Fu's.

Although he tried his best to hide it, there were occasional resentments that showed through.

It's no wonder that when Ji Li died, Bo Yikao had already been born. As the eldest grandson, he must be loved by Ji Li very much, so it's normal that he can't completely conceal his feelings.

Since even Bigan has been here, Ji Chang naturally visited other people in Anyang City.

Even if there is no definite evidence, Bigan can still say that Ji Chang's heart can be punished.

The dates for foreign service officials to come to the capital for pilgrimage are uncertain. Like Ji Chang, it is not easy for Emperor Yi to find an excuse to keep him for a year or so, and he is easily criticized by others, but it is very easy to drive him away early.

But not all the leaders of the Fang Kingdom are unpopular.

For example, Youhou of Youguo, Denghou of Dengguo, etc., they are all princes with the surname of Zi, and they are not civil servants. Their feudal kingdoms exist as a barrier for big merchants, and they have always been loyal to the royal family, so they are very popular. value.

Among the civil servants, apart from Fei Lian and his family who joined the Great Shang when the Great Shang destroyed Xia, the rest of the nobles, that is, high-ranking officials, are more or less related to the Shang royal family. .

Everyone has the surname of Zi, and the kinship between the internal service officials and the royal family is naturally much closer than that of most of the princes of Fang State who were assigned the surname of Zi in the Tang Dynasty. Most of the time when hands and feet are bound, so it is not common for foreign service officials to be treated a little bit.

The Shang kings of all dynasties have fought abroad, it is nothing more than a question of how many times, Emperor Yi has just succeeded to the throne, but he has changed his mind many times. It's time to unite and send troops together.

In the database that is still clear in Bigan's mind, there is Youhouxi. He has contributed to many battles during the Emperor Yi period, and was later reused by Emperor Xin. When the Battle of Muye broke out, this The king went with his army, but it was a pity that Dashang was defeated in the end, and Youhouxi didn't know where he ended up. He probably died.

In short, these princes whose surname is Fang Guo can still be trusted.

A big pilgrimage solved a few problems. Emperor Yi was in a good mood, and he had already started preparing to move the capital. After the late emperor was completely buried, he could pray.

It's a pity that heaven failed to fulfill people's wishes. Before Emperor Yi could react, Zhou Bu, who had been recharging his energy for the past few years, began to attack Dashang under the leadership of Ji Chang, and the border guards suffered heavy losses.

Zigan diary:

What more can this baby say?

As a great merchant royal family, I would like to send a sentence of mmp to Ji Chang, thank you.

The author has something to say: there are several explanations for the name of Bo Yi Kao, the so-called Ji Yi is one of them, and the rest... there is another one that is that neither of the three characters of Bo Yi Kao is the name of this classmate. Bo is the ranking, and Yi Kao is the so-called "Father of the State of Zhou" and other respectful titles, which scared the baby out of the mouse.Because two-letter names were not popular at that time, Ji Chang's other sons also had one-letter names, so it was unlikely that the eldest son would take the two-letter name "Yikao".

It is said that there is so little information about the Great Merchant Period, the stupid author is very good QAQ, what should I do if I accidentally make a mistake [Hey!
