Days are everlasting

After Emperor Xin came to the throne, he naturally had a group of confidantes, many of whom were left to him by the late emperor, and those who had grown up with him since childhood.

Among the confidantes left by the first emperor to Di Xin were Fei Zhong and You Hun, who were born as slaves and had no roots and could only rely on Di Xin, and there were also noble children like Elai, who grew up with Di Xin.

Di Xin was also raised as a prince since he was a child, and it was easy to gain a firm foothold.

After gaining a firm foothold, if he wants to completely control the government and make the ministers worship him, he needs martial arts, that is, military achievements to set it off.

For all the emperors throughout the ages, including those of later generations, the founding king always has more prestige than his successors. There is no other reason. The power of the founding king was earned by himself, not granted by others.

It’s not that the successor kings lost their majesty. Look at the martial arts emperors, such as Qin Shihuang, Han Wudi, Ming Chengzu, etc., they were all controlled by others in the early days. All the officials were hanged and beaten by the emperor, and they dared not even speak a word of gossip.

There are also emperors who are good at civil governance. In a peaceful and prosperous age, how can you fight so many battles?

But this kind of emperor is inevitably controlled by others. Not only does the majesty of the emperor have to accumulate slowly, but he also has to worry about verbal criticism from civil officials.

The most obvious manifestation of this is the few people in the Song Dynasty. Renzong was covered with saliva by civil officials and could not wipe his face. , wanted to delay the establishment of the crown prince, to see if he could have another biological son, but was "forced" by a group of ministers to plead for orders, so he could only make his nephew the crown prince, and wept with the queen in the palace.

Dashang did not have such an example for Di Xin to learn from. After all, in this era, until the Qin and Han dynasties, warriors ruled the country, but he also knew that if he wanted to establish his majesty as soon as possible, he needed victory, and it was best to win a big victory .

Di Xin was born late, and has never seen the era of Wu Yi's reign, but Bigan has seen it. Wang Jizhong's internal service officials who established a foothold in the court were all suppressed by Wu Yi, and Wen Ding and Di Yi were in power. In the later period, the officials who were extremely obedient and obedient were placed in the Wu Yi Dynasty, and they could still be called bold!

Di Xin has already set several goals, such as Meng Fang in the period of the first emperor Di Yi. At that time, Emperor Yi defeated them, and now these people have started to make trouble again, as well as the various tribes of Dongyi.

These tribes of Yi and Di were the targets that Da Shang had always attacked, and Da Shang's army was familiar with them. If Di Xin wanted to use people to train his hands, these people were indeed good targets.

Meng Fang is relatively easier, after all, they have already been defeated once, Dongyi is divided into different divisions, and the challenge level is still a bit high for Di Xin now.

Di Xin's mind is still very clear, if he rashly chooses the various tribes of Dongyi, he may capsize in the gutter, so of course it is the persimmon's soft pick.

Di Xin took people to fight Meng Fang, and Bigan and the others stayed at Chaoge to watch over his house.

There are a lot of capable people in this era, perhaps because Di Xin was born with supernatural powers, he gathered a group of strong men around him, and some people had other specialties.

For example, Bigan’s old acquaintance, the handsome young man he met at the beginning, is now the middle-aged handsome uncle Fei Lian. This gentleman is “good at walking” and his speed is extremely fast. He will be sent to future generations to participate in competitions. Long-distance running is unmatched.He came from aristocratic background, and now he has inherited the title of Marquis from his family, he can be regarded as the super thug left by Emperor Yi to Di Xin.

Fei Lian's eldest son is named Elai, and he and Di Xin have a special prophecy in common, because they are both masters of natural supernatural powers, so Di Xin's best play since he was a child is Elai.

Elai also has another characteristic, sweet-mouthed, especially good at talking, and it is very pleasant to let people know that he is flattering.

This kind of talent cannot be learned by others, because evil is loyal, capable and sweet, and has gathered the characteristics of loyal ministers, capable ministers and favored ministers, so Di Xin specially arranged for him to "shoot" as Di Xin's guards The commander exists and is always by Di Xin's side.

Besides Elai, Fei Lian also has a son named Ji Sheng. Although he is not born with special abilities like Fei Lian and Elai, he has learned their old skills very well. Di Xin specially appointed him as the The post of "Duoya" raises horses for a big merchant.

Although the so-called Maya and Doya have horses in their duties, they are still different from the "Bi Mawen" in Journey to the West. Horses are raised for war needs, so Maya and Doya are military officers, or senior military officer.

In the third year of Emperor Xin's reign, Emperor Xin personally led an expedition to Mengfang.

Fang Guo, who served Di Xin, was mainly You Guo. You Houxi participated in Emperor Yi's later expeditions. When it comes to martial arts, You Hou Xi is probably the one who knows the surnames of the great merchants best.

Emperor Xin left the court for an expedition, and did not take away the government affairs of the court, and handed them over to Bigan, Jizi and Shang Rong.

Bigan, who took the salary of a young teacher but handled Emperor Shang's affairs and cared about Emperor Shang's heart: Zishou, how can you be so good, you brat?You forgot what my brother and I taught you? !

Shangrong has the same emotion as Bigan.

Shang Rong's father, Shang Ke, finally retired honorably in Emperor Yi's dynasty. Bigan was still his young teacher, and Emperor Yi didn't give him a promotion. After all, it would be too troublesome to appoint another young teacher, and someone else would divide the power .

Shang Rongzi inherited his father's career and entered the court as an official, but it was impossible to enter the court suddenly, and he could only rise slowly. After more than ten years, he was finally one step closer to his father's previous high position.

Shang Rong is now Bigan's assistant officer. Although he has become a high-ranking official, that is, a senior official of the Great Shang, he is still a head shorter than Bigan.

Shang Rong himself didn't feel much, after all, from the very beginning, when he came into contact with the government, he was on an envoy to the Zhou Department with Bigan, and Bigan was the chief envoy and he was the deputy.

He was already used to being crushed by Bigan.

After all, even if he is a distant branch of the royal family, he is a talented young man passed down by word of mouth in Yindu, and he will surely make a great career in the future, but he is better than him in the family background and higher in talent than him, and he is also the word of mouth in Yindu. According to legend, Bi Gan, a talented young man praised by everyone, especially Bi Gan, has been in the court several times longer than him, and it doesn't look like he can overwhelm him.

Shang Rong was also very desperate when his father scolded him for being weak.

#Is it all my fault? #

Bigan: Blame me?

If Shang Ke, who has always been displeased with Bi Gan, knows his son's thoughts, he may be able to jump out of the coffin and close Shang Rong's little black room again.

In addition to Bigan and others, Queen Daji also shared a lot of government affairs. Not to mention, she deserved to be educated by the heir of the Su family, and she handled it well.

Because of the existence of the queen, the female officials in the court have recently walked with a lot of backs.

Bigan seems to have seen a rising star of a strong woman in Dashang.

Bigan: Daji's nephew and daughter-in-law, let me tell you, this will be in the Tang Dynasty and later eras, you will be called the second Wu Zetian!

But in Dashang, what Daji did was only to restore the tradition of Dashang.

Because of her impartiality, she also earned the title of "Fu Hao No. [-]".

"Hao" is connected with "Zi", and "Wu" is a kind of kinship relationship. According to Bigan's understanding, the title "Fu Hao" is probably similar to "Zi's daughter-in-law". Only from this title, we can know Dashang's identity. How much the Shang emperors of all dynasties respected this female ancestor.

It stands to reason that the biggest event now is Emperor Xin's personal conquest. Before he returns to the court, there should be no major events, but unfortunately, accidents always appear when he doesn't expect it.

The territory of the Great Merchants is naturally incomparable with the Huaxia of the later generations, and the Huaxia of the later generations will also count many of the barbarian Rongdi lands today.

The big merchants are now mainly targeting the various ethnic groups in Dongyi, and the Rong people are handed over to Fangguo like the Zhou tribe to resist.

In "Erya", there are Jiuyi, Badi, Qirong, and Liuman. Although this book did not exist in the Shang Dynasty, the division of Yi, Di, Rong and barbarians is similar to that in Erya, with a difference in the number at most.

The so-called Jiuyi, Liuman, Jiu and Liu refer to the large number of barbarian tribes, and Dongyi means the ethnic groups east of Dashang.

To the east is the sea, and the location of Dashang is roughly in the Yu Province of the later generations. It is very close to the sea.

Dongyi has always been the big trouble of the big merchants. As for the Nanman, because the border towns of the big merchants are still some distance away from there, and some of the Fang kingdoms are closer to the Nanman, and even the kingdoms left by the previous Xia, so the big merchants At present, they don't pay much attention to the land of the southern barbarians.

The State of Yue, which existed since the Shaokang period of the Xia Dynasty, has been mingling in the depths of the Southern Manland. The original purpose of the Yue State was to prevent the sacrifice of King Yu from being cut off. The land was quite open, and when it came to Dashang, Yue was still a marquis.

There is only one unreasonable existence like the Yue Kingdom. The ethnic groups in their territory are collectively called the Baiyue clan. Although they are mostly influenced by the Dongyi and barbarians, the main body has not changed.

However, it is not easy to establish a long-standing country like the Yue State. If people really want to gather barbarian tribes and educate them, they can still succeed.

The future enemy of the Yue State, the Wu State, who has produced famous generals such as Sun Wu and Wu Zixu, and achieved the great name of the Yue King Goujian, has appeared in this world.

This so-called accident is also related to Wu.

Zigan diary:

Compared with the land area, Bao Bao realized how small the land area of ​​Dashang was...

It's time to learn about the feudal system of the Zhou Dynasty. The Shang kings of all dynasties fought for such a small amount of land. The baby is really blind!

The author has something to say: The stupid author was deeply shocked when he looked at the map of the Shang Dynasty. This place is so small...

Sure enough, our country has been a fighting nation since ancient times. I think the Zhou Dynasty's feudal vassal system contributed a lot to the expansion of the country's land area.
