The rumored third prince

The night was dark, with a few cold stars in the sky, and the streets of Chentangguan were brightly lit.Nezha put the Qiankun Bow and Zhentian Arrow back to the Enemy Watching Building according to Taiyi's wishes, and wandered around the street.

Dongshi Street was crowded with people, and there was a constant flow of pedestrians, including those beating gongs and drums, and a few deep Sanskrit sounds occasionally came out of the noisy voices.

Turning around, turning around, I don't know how many alleys and streets I passed through, and then turned to the bank of Jiuwan River by some strange circumstances, her shadow was reflected on the clear water.

Nezha lowered her head, looking at the sparkling light, she thought, there will never be a pretentious doll like Ao Bing popping out of the bottom of this river again.

In the evening of the next day, Nezha returned to Xiqi and entered the Prime Minister's Mansion. He saw Huang Feihu standing in front of the door with a sad face. Fairy, put down the Yellow River formation, hurt Jiang Ziya and Huang Tianhua, more than a dozen golden immortals were sold off in the formation to top Sanhua, Jiang Ziya beat Kunlun Mountain and invited Yuanshi Tianzun to come out of the mountain, and cooperate with Taishang Laojun, and then they were exterminated The three fairies Yunxiao, Bixiao and Qiongxiao of Sanxian Island broke through the formation of the Yellow River.

Wen Zhong led the remnant army to retreat. Chi Jingzi and Yang Jian stopped him at Yanshan Mountain and drove him to Juelongling.

Nezha counted with his fingers, sat down safely, and comforted him, "Don't worry, General. Wen Zhong's trip is a very bad omen."

Sure enough, within three to five days, Jiang Ziya returned to Xiqi, accompanied by a short man named Tu Xingsun, who was afraid of leaving Sun's disciples, and brought the news of Wen Zhong's death in Juelongling.

Days passed, and at some point, Li Jing dragged the Linglong Pagoda to Xiqi, and the soldiers and horses sent by the Shang Dynasty to attack Xiqi were like leeks.

Deng Jiugong and his daughter Deng Chanyu were surrendered by Jiang Ziya's design. The nine-tailed fox was able to protect Tang and sent Su Daji's father Jizhou Hou Suhu to attack the west, but Jiang Ziya told him that Daji was dead; Yin Hong, the son who practiced in the mountains, was ordered by his teacher to go down the mountain to help Jiang Ziya. He was also bewitched by the nine-tailed fox to lead the army to fight Xiqi, but Jiang Ziya borrowed the Taiji map to take his life; Feeling resentful, he led his soldiers and horses to come, but was killed by the burning lamp; King Zhou was very angry when he learned that the two children had died in Chaoge City, and sent Hong Jin, the general soldier of Sanshan Pass, to lead a hundred thousand soldiers and horses to the west. , was captured by Princess Longji and recruited as her husband.

On the day of Waking of Insects, King Wu performed the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the gods of the mountains, and announced to the three mountains and five mountains that he was ordered by heaven to go out to conquer merchants for the common people.

Immortal Jiang Ziya Tianzun asked: "Thanks to the education of the master Tianen, I taught Jiang Shang the defeated general to march eastward. I don't know how good or bad the disciple's trip will be. I hope the master will give me some pointers."

Yuanshi Tianzun said: "There is no misfortune in your trip. Just remember a verse: Jiepai pass through the Zhuxian formation, and Chuanyun Pass is subject to plague. Beware of Da Zhaoguang Xiande, pass the ten thousand immortal bodies and be healthy."

Jiang Ziya received the verse, and the Twelve Golden Immortals came out from the reeds, and they were about to leave after drinking a cup of farewell wine with Jiang Ziya.

Nezha looked around, everyone's fate was good, but Huang Tianhua and Tu Xingsun looked hopeless, fearing that their lives would not last long, so he asked Master Taiyi: "I don't know good or bad for this trip. The teacher gives advice."

Daoist Taiyi said: "You practice Taoism in front of Sishuiguan, and Fang Xian's lotus is the incarnation."

Nezha made an opening here, and the others took advantage of the opportunity, and went to ask their teacher about their misfortunes and blessings one by one, and they all got the verses in their hearts.

In Mengchun in the 13th year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, when Jiang Ziya was watching the sky, he went up to the teacher table and King Wu, beat drums and ordered generals on the teaching field. Xin Jia passed on Nezha, Huang Tianhua, Wuji, and Nangongshi to the stage and said: "Today there are 60 soldiers and horses. Use you The four generals will go first, and they will be divided into front, back, left, and right seals, and you will draw a lot each, so there will be no confusion."

Huang Tianhua chooses the first team to go first, Nan Gongshi is the left whistle, Wu Ji is the right whistle, and Nezha is the rear whistle.

The result of the lottery was just like what Jiang Ziya had in mind, and he couldn't help being very pleasantly surprised, so he hurriedly ordered the military and political department to pass on the seal to them, and the four drank to thank the marshal.

Jiang Ziya also ordered Yang Jian, Tu Xingsun, and Zheng Lun to each cast a lot to be the food supervisor of the three movements. After distributing the seal of the general order, the three generals stepped down. The soldiers packed up and prepared to conquer merchants in the east.

On the day of Jingzhe, King Wu left Qishan with a large army and headed for Yanshan. After passing Yanshan was Shouyang Mountain, and after Shouyang Mountain was Jinji Ridge. Jinji Ridge met Kong Xuan, and the first battle was unfavorable. The fight was turned upside down. Complacent after taking the first achievement, he ended up with a head that was beheaded and hung up at the gate to demonstrate. Fortunately, a quasi-prompted Taoist came to help, so that he could pass the big test.

Turning back to Huang Feihu in Qinglong pass, he met the two generals Hunha, when Nezha and Yang Jian were seldom hiding their clumsiness, Zheng Lun assisted Nezha to take Sishui Pass, break Zhuxian Formation, Nachuanyun Pass, and Yang Ren went down the mountain to help break it. Wensi, the soldiers took Tongguan, Mianchi and Panlongling, and fought all the way until Youhunguan, where they met Dongbohou Jiang Wenhuan.

The situation in Youhun Pass is complicated. Jiang Wenhuan has been fighting against Dou Rong for more than ten years.

Jin Zha had a plan in his heart, and Mu Zha pretended to be a scattered person from the East China Sea, and fought with Jiang Wenhuan on the bright side, but in fact, he secretly communicated with the song, asking him to show up at night, and the two went to Dou Rong's mansion, pretending to help him, and gaining Dou Rong's trust , lied to the intelligence, cooperated with Jiang Wenhuan inside and outside at the second watch, Jin Zha and seven treasures and golden lotus covered Dou Rong, Jiang Wenhuan cut off the enemy of more than ten years with one knife, and Mu Zha cut off the other speaker with the Wu hook sword at the gate , Offering a pass on the top of the city gate.

Jiang Wenhuan entered the Zhou camp, worshiped King Wu, and joined forces. At this time, there were 160 princes in the world, regardless of size, with a total of more than [-] million troops. Jiang Ziya reorganized his troops and went to Chaoge.

King Zhou was having fun in the palace, and suddenly heard the news that Jiang Ziya's army had arrived at Chaoge, and hurried to the city gate to observe.A counselor suggested that King Zhou set up a list to recruit sages.

King Zhou posted a list here, and the other side followed the general Yin Ruibai who saw the soldiers of Zhou coming to the city. In order to please the king, he asked to enter the Zhou camp to persuade King Wu to retreat and return to the country. Jiang Wenhuan was angered, and he died pitifully.

But the matter has come to this point, and Jiang Ziya ordered people to carry Yin's dilapidated corpse and bury it with generous gifts.When the news spread to the palace, Yin Chengxiu, the ruined son of Yin, requested to send troops to avenge his father. King Zhou had no choice but to tell him to be careful.

Zhou Bing's victory was in sight, and his morale was unprecedentedly high. Yin Chengxiu, like his father, was beheaded by Jiang Wenhuan during the battle between the two armies, and his head was hung on the gate.

Tanma reported the news of Yin Chengxiu's death to the palace. King Zhou was in chaos for a while, and he didn't know what to do. Zhou soldiers set up ladders and artillery at the four gates in the south, east, west and north to attack the city with all their strength. Jiang Ziya saw that among the merchant soldiers was General Lu Ren Shoucheng has a law, and it is difficult to capture it for a while, so Mingjin withdraws troops.

In the Zhou camp, Jiang Ziya sat in the tent of the Chinese army and discussed with many generals: "Lu Renjie, a loyal man, will do his best to guard the city gate so that the song of the court is as solid as gold. If we try to break the city with all our strength, I am afraid it will be in vain. With hard work, you may be able to win with wisdom."

Many cultivators said: "If we use the method of escape to enter the city, and cooperate with the marshal inside and outside, we will surely succeed in one fell swoop. Why do we have to compete with him under the city?"

Jiang Ziya shook his head: "The people in the city suffered from killing and wounding when they entered the city. Besides, the people in the city tasted the tyranny of King Zhou first. If they suffer from the killing again, how can they bear it?"

Nezha leaned against the door, looked out of the tent, and said softly: "It is better to attack the heart than to attack the city."

Yang Jian answered: "King Zhou smiled at his favored concubine, built high-rise buildings, built palaces, built large-scale construction projects, severely punished and taxed him, and the people wished he could eat him."

After Jiang Ziya listened, he stroked his beard and meditated for a while, took up a pen and wrote dozens of chapters of notices, and ordered the soldiers to shoot the notices into the city from all sides.

The evil deeds of King Zhou were clearly written in the notice, and King Wu Chen Bing Chaosong was to save the people all over the world.

The people in the city looked at it, and they all said that the name of Lord Zhou's benevolence spread all over the country, and Marshal Jiang crusaded the princes with sincerity.

The people's upheaval is difficult to rule, even if Lu Renjie defends the city well, it is difficult for the people to turn to the Ming Lord.

At three o'clock, there was a mutiny in the city. Jiang Ziya sat in the tent and came to visit the horse to report: "The king of Shang's army and people have dedicated Chaoge City. Please marshal to decide."

Jiang Ziya was overjoyed when he heard the words, put together the bamboo slips, and ordered with the generals: "Only [-] soldiers are allowed at each city gate, and the rest are stationed outside the city. They must not enter the city to disturb the people. If they enter the city, they must not kill or kill. Don't take people's property without authorization, and those who disobey the order will be beheaded!"

The generals entered the court song at night and stood in the southeast and northwest according to their directions. Although the shouts and killings were loud, the people did not hear them.

At this time, King Zhou was still in the palace having a banquet with the three of Daji. He was startled when he heard the shouts of killing. After asking around, he learned that Chaoge soldiers and civilians had dedicated the city to the Zhou camp, and Zhou soldiers had been stationed at the Meridian Gate. million.

After hearing the words, King Zhou straightened his clothes, summoned civil and military officials to the hall, and asked: "The army and the people are rebellious, and they actually sacrificed Chaoge City. What should we do now?"

Lu Renjie stepped forward and said: "The king's city has been broken, and Zhou's soldiers are pressing down on the border. If we fight against the city, the outcome is not yet known. Otherwise, we will be waiting to die."

King Zhou said: "What Aiqing said is very much in line with my wishes." So he ordered the imperial guards to guard the palace.

When the sky was bright, Jiang Ziya ordered the generals to go out of the camp one by one, and asked King Zhou to go to the city to talk to him amidst the sound of golden drums. When King Zhou heard the news, he put on his armor, lined up a guard of honor, and led the imperial army, riding a white horse and carrying a golden knife. Take ordinary people out of the Meridian Gate.I saw Jiang Ziya with a bright head and pale face, fully armed, and among the governors of the southeast, northwest, and princes was Wu Wang Jifa, who stood neatly behind Jiang Ziya, very elegant.

King Zhou was looking at Jiang Ziya's army camp, and Jiang Ziya was also looking at King Zhou. He saw him in chain mail and phoenix-winged crown, and secretly praised him for his brave general.

Jiang Ziya bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, forgive me for not being able to fully salute the old minister because of his armor."

King Zhou said: "You were also my subject, why did you switch to Xiqi, disregarded my grace, condoned the evil thieves to plot rebellion, gathered the princes of the world, used force to fight fiercely, and invaded my borders. Today I personally resist before the battle If you don't want to turn against me, it's really annoying, if I don't kill you, a rebellious minister and traitor, I swear I won't return to the court!"

Jiang Ziya stood up straight, straightened his back, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "The ancients said, is it the king's land under the whole world, and the king's minister on the shore of the land, your majesty is the emperor, who dares to fight against your majesty? Today, your majesty disrespects the sky and acts against the sky. , Harm the people, kill the ministers, only the words of women are respected, the evil done by your majesty, the sky is angry and the people are resentful, the world is rebellious, Jiang Shang is punished according to the order of heaven, I hope your majesty will not pretend to be a minister who betrayed the king."

King Zhou asked angrily, "What crimes have I committed that can be called great evil?"

Jiang Ziya bowed slightly, then turned around, faced Zhou Ying, and said loudly: "The princes of the world are here, and listen to Jiang Shang's statement of King Zhou's crimes of injustice."

The princes of the four directions were silent, and they all took a step forward.

Jiang Ziya turned back to face King Zhou, and stated: "I am a villain, far away from a gentleman, and my morals are degraded. I have done the most evil that has never been seen in ancient and modern times. The crime is the same; the queen and mother are honored to the world, and there is no virtue or misconduct. Your majesty listens to the demon concubine." Gouging out his eyes, burning his hands, causing his mother to die, setting up a demon concubine as a queen, indulging in adultery for pleasure, corrupting human relations, and committing two crimes; cronies slander, Shangfang sword bestows death on the prince, and abandons the country lightly Originally, forgetting Zongzhen, there are three crimes; loyal ministers’ remonstrances do not reach the ears of the king, they are frequently burned and killed, and slaves are humiliated, and the crimes are four; E Chongyu entered the court and beheaded him. He did not distinguish between black and white, and broke the trust of the world. His crimes were five; , Ten-thousand-foot deer platform, thousand-ren star picking tower, extensive construction and accumulation of wealth in the world, the power of the poor, the rich will be exempted from drawing, and the poor will serve alone, causing the people to live in poverty. The crime is seven; The wife of a courtier caused the death of a martyr, and Huang Guifei of the West Palace remonstrated, but was pushed down to the Zhaxing Tower to die unexpectedly. She cut off the three cardinal principles, was shameless, and committed eight crimes; The marrow of the bone marrow, tortured life, suffered such a murderous hand, the common people are innocent? The crime is nine; and the demon concubine prostituted himself day and night in Lutai, lingering, taking the kidneys of virgins and roasting them for food, cutting off the lifeblood of the common people, which is unprecedented in ancient and modern times If someone is wronged, the crime is ten!"

Jiang Ziya counted the crimes of King Zhou, the more he recounted, the more angry he became, and the more excited his tone became: "Your Majesty does not accept the good words of loyal ministers, and they wantonly tortured thousands of soldiers and civilians. They were all slaughtered by His Majesty. How can the common people be blamed? Minister Jiang Shang Fengtian It is my order to assist King Wu in carrying out the punishment from heaven."

The eight hundred princes shouted in unison: "Pull the faint king, return the way of heaven!"

King Zhou was dumbfounded when he heard this, and the four warlords in the southeast, northwest and north rushed out of the camp first, shouting their own grievances, and fighting with King Zhou.

King Wu is a benevolent king. Sitting on his free horse, he saw several princes and King Zhou slaughtered so hard that he couldn't see the light of day. He sighed: "Father Xiang, when today's son loses power, we are still ministers. How can there be any reason for monarchs and ministers to fight against the enemy? "
