Days are everlasting

Ji Chang came late, and of course interested people wanted to know what happened to Zhou Bu.

Bigan imitated a series of institutions in the later generations such as Jinyiwei and Xuedizi and trained a group of spies who specialized in inquiring about Zhoubu news in the Great Shang era. He really used his life to attack Zhoubu, so he soon knew the whole story.

People in Zhou were also very concerned about the news from Chaoge, so the news that Ji Jian was invited to Chaoge as a relative of their family quickly spread in Zhoubu.

Along with Ji Jian's name came the names of Taibo and Zhongyong. By reminiscing about the uncles of these two filial friends of Ji Chang, there was once again a wave of demands for a change of heir within the Zhou Ministry.

Bigan: Boyi Kao, what should I say about you?Your popularity is not good!

Of course, in fact, the relationship between the nobles of Zhou Dynasty's request to change the heir and Bo Yikao is not very popular.

The tradition of Dashang is that the father dies and the son succeeds, and the brother ends up with the younger brother. Moreover, among the Shang kings of all dynasties, there are quite a few brothers who were brothers with the previous kings. There may be three or four consecutive Shang emperors who were brothers from the same father. This tradition, Undoubtedly, it also affected the surrounding Fangguo tribes.

Even after the heir is determined, his brother still will not completely dispel his ambitions, which is what it should be.

Regarding the death of Bo Yikao and why Ji Chang's successor was Ji Fa in the end, historians of later generations have also discussed a lot.

There are two main theories. One is that among the ten brothers of Boyi Kao, only the future Wu Wang Jifa and Zhou Gongdan are the ones who have the highest virtue and talent. It is said that Bo Yikao was in poor health and died young, so the heir became his second brother Ji Fa.

Ji Chang gave birth to Boyi Kao at the age of 13, and Ji Fa at the age of 15. Referring to his physical development, Boyi Kao may indeed be congenitally deficient. Compared with his younger brothers, Ji Fa, the King of Wu, also died young.

This example can refer to Emperor Kangxi who ascended the throne at the age of eight. It was not until the 11th year of Kangxi that he had his first son, Yinti, who did not die young but grew up successfully. In the Kangxi era, both medical conditions and living conditions were much better than those in the Great Shang era.

According to inference, maybe Bo Yi Kao's physical condition is really not very good, that's why the dignitaries of Zhou Ministry want to change the prince. Who knows when Bo Yi Kao will suddenly drive west?

In the history of the royal family, there are really many disturbances caused by the sudden death of the heir, which is enough to be alarming.

After the feudal dynasties, Ji Chang was left in Chaoge as a guest. According to Dashang's official statement, it was for him and Ji Jian to have a good exchange of family affection.

Di Xin, who occasionally revealed his childish nature, enthusiastically proposed whether Ji Chang should stay in Chaoge forever, so that he could never return to Zhouyuan.

Bigan: Zishou, is your IQ still there?

This passage is mentioned in "Fengshen Yanyi". Under the instigation of his favorite minister Chonghouhu, Di Xin imprisoned Ji Chang in Yuli, and killed his filial son Boyi who was dedicated to saving his father. The first half of the content was recorded in the "Historical Records".

But in fact, this passage is full of mistakes and omissions, and Bigan doesn't want to say anything.

First of all, a big businessman has been in a civilized society for many years. If he kills the heirs of other people's families, can he really be a big businessman?

Secondly, Yili is near Anyang City, and Shangdu has been turned into Chaoge for many years. It is not safe to imprison Ji Chang in Yili all the way. If you really want to detain someone, you should choose a place near Chaoge The place is right.

Finally, Chonghouhu was not the favorite of Emperor Xin.The Chonghou named Hu was the most respected military general in Gaozong Wuding's era, and he was also one of Wuding's three confidantes. Beat them like dogs and let them lie on the ground and look up to Da Shang's father.

What Di Xin meant was to cut the weeds and root out the roots, slaughter Ji Chang, and let Zhou Bu continue to be in such a mess.

Bigan really couldn't bear to look directly at him, he really didn't hide his bad deeds in this era, which made him deeply feel that he was so bad.

#I am clearly still a pure and good baby! #

Bigan's method is also very simple and rude. There are many mountains and forests on the road from Shang to Zhou. Just find a place to make the illusion of a landslide or mudslide, and Ji Chang's accidental death can be justified.

To compare it to Gan, it is inevitable that Emperor Shang would be criticized for brutally killing people because he was afraid of the Ji calendar. Making things an "accident" can not only reduce the suspicion of the big merchants, but also bring them to justice at the right time. When it comes to God's punishment, it's killing two birds with one stone.

Ji Chang doesn't need to stay in Chaoge for too long, just wait until the rainy summer comes and put him back.

And Ji Chang's journey on the road will take at least a few months. If he himself had an accident on the road, it really has nothing to do with Dashang.

Ji Chang had already been scheduled to die, so Di Xin, Bigan and the others no longer cared about his attitude. Instead, they spoke rather intimately and asked him many times how to deal with such things as heirs contending for the throne.

Ji Chang, who was left behind in Chaoge, was secretly relieved by the performance of the great merchants and nobles.

He also knows that his family's affairs are not airtight news. During the days when he was left in Chaoge, someone must have gone to Zhoubu to inquire about the news. Guess how much.

After knowing Da Shang's "bad intentions", Ji Chang calmed down instead, as long as Da Shang still has thoughts about him, if not, he might really be close to death.

Bigan: Actually, we just want to send you to meet your father sooner.

Ji Chang set off with Ji Jian. Although he tried his best to invite Ji Jian to go with him, and Dashang encouraged Ji Jian a lot, Ji Jian decided to return to Juwu. After all, Zhou Yuan's Shui Tai Deep, he was afraid that he would drown if he rushed in rashly.

Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart, and soon, news spread that Xibo Jichang died on the way back to Zhouyuan.

In mountainous areas, where there are dense forests, there will be fires. In addition to man-made events, there are also forest fires caused by lightning ignition and spontaneous combustion.

Severe forest fires can lead to soil erosion. After all, the trees have been burned clean. It is strange that the soil is still stable when there is flood or heavy rain. In places where water and soil are lost, heavy rain can easily lead to mudslides or landslides. landslide.

People in this era are also aware of forest fires. After all, in the stories passed down by the old people, before the Suiren family drilled wood to make fire, the source of human fire came from natural forest fires.

The person who died was not only Ji Chang, but also many people who accompanied him. Only a few people could escape. After all, Ji Chang, as Xibo, his pilgrimage team was not small, and someone could escape.

However, Ji Chang died in an accident. After a careful inspection of the place where he died, we can know that after a serious forest fire, heavy rain will lead to mudslides. There are not so many examples in this era. Bigan took advantage of the information gap between the eras. Created a perfect "murder".

Survivors exist as witnesses, and other tribes, most importantly, Da Shang are also excluded.

As for those who are responsible for calculating the itinerary and speed of Ji Chang and others, and choosing the location to burn the mountain, they belong to the secret guards carefully cultivated by Bigan, and because they are against Zhou, they deliberately chose the kind who have blood feud with Zhou people. Well, if they all leak the news like this, it can only be blamed on Zhou Bu's protagonist's halo being too powerful, and he has nothing to do.

Ji Chang is dead. It is conceivable that the Zhou Department will be in chaos for a long time. After all, before he came, the Zhou Department had been arguing endlessly over the successor, and Bo Yikao wanted to take the position of the Lord of the Zhou Department as the heir. , and some boil it.

Xibo Jichang died unexpectedly, and Dashang expressed his deep condolences, but in private, the courtiers were very happy, especially Di Xin, who was even more joyful.

Without a serious confidant, Di Xin thought about creating a human being with the queen again. Two months after the news of Ji Chang's death came out, Queen Daji was pregnant with a second child.

Dashang's atmosphere is peaceful, Qishan Zhouyuan is located, but people in Zhouyuan are very chaotic.

According to the normal situation, it is normal for Bo Yikao to inherit Ji Chang's Xibo position, but there are people in Zhou who are dissatisfied with his weak nature.

What's more, Bigan spread some rumors about Chaoge to Xiqi in a very malicious way.

Ji Chang was left in Chaoge to communicate with other nobles and officials. This is the last part of his inner thoughts. He died on the way back. Of course people in Zhou wanted to know what happened to him during the period before his death. I don't have any idea, did the issue of heirs be mentioned in the conversation with the great merchants and nobles?

Of course, the main reason is that Ji Chang himself started to waver. After all, if he hadn’t wavered, how could he have not quelled the discussions of Zhou people before he set off, but let them diverge their thinking to their heart’s content?

This shows that Ji Chang himself has the idea of ​​letting Bo Yikao continue to be the heir, and also has the idea of ​​changing Li Jifa, but he has not decided yet.

Whether to be a leader or to be a virtuous person has been a difficult problem since ancient times.

During the last period of time when Ji Chang was in Chaoge, he did express his views on this. It would be the best if he could decide the heir based on Ji Chang's last words.
