When the brilliance of dawn dispelled the darkness of Chaoge City, the royal city of the Yin Shang Dynasty set off an uproar that was even more enthusiastic than festivals.From ordinary people to powerful aristocrats, everyone is involved in this trend.
"Did you dream?"
"Did you dream too?"
"Ah, you also—"
Several acquainted masters meet each other, and each can see the fear hidden under each other's pretended posture.The prostrate slaves looked up at their masters blankly, listening to their clueless conversations.
One touched his ears, feeling terrified, "I dreamed about my old lady, and she almost took me away!"
"I also dreamed about my father... ahem."
Another filial son who was in the same situation also shuddered, and said with a worried face, "It seems that this is true, and I don't know if the king will order the cancellation of the sacrifice."
"Regardless of the king's order or not, I dare not use the human sacrifices sacrificed this year!"
The man who claimed to be taken away by his old lady sighed and raised the thin coin in his hand.
"Compared to the king's order, what I want to know most now is, where can I buy Ming coins?"
I promised to burn more coins, but each of them only has one coin. Where can I find more coins?
"I don't know the source of this ghost coin, or there is something magical about it. Even if the system is changed, I don't know how to make the ghost coin for a while, whether it can be made casually, how can I act rashly!"
In the court hall, there were also endless disputes over the strange dreams of the people of Chaoge City last night.
The courtiers who believed in the dream last night said that this was a warning from the heavens, God bless the merchants, and guide the correct way of worshiping ancestors.
There are those who follow the old system, and they swear, "I have never heard of the empress of the underworld coin. The old minister thought that last night must be a monster. The king must not listen to the slander, and he wants to find a moral immortal to eliminate the monster..."
The two parties insisted on their own opinions and quarreled fiercely.Di Xin watched coldly from the throne without saying a word.
Just like Emperor Yi's evaluation of this son last night, Emperor Xin admired his ancestor Wu Yi very much.
Wu Yi once made a puppet, called a god, and then fought with the puppet.After the victory, humiliate the "God" with words.Later, he filled the bag with blood and hung it high.Shoot the blood sac with an arrow to make the blood flow.Call this move "shooting the sky".
It is true that this is a world where gods, humans, demons and ghosts coexist, but the Shang kings of all dynasties wanted to gather the divine power, consolidate the royal power, and restore the independent authority of the human race during the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, but it has not disappeared.
Already becoming a king, who wants to still have a "sky" on his head?
Thinking of the ending of Wu Yi being struck to death by lightning after shooting into the sky, Di Xin played with the Ming coin with meaningful eyes.
If the power of the human king cannot resist the existing gods, then introducing a new god and replacing the old system may be a good start to challenge the authority of the gods.
The debate in the court lasted for three days without reaching a conclusion.Finally, the great witch came to the hall to give the latest omen.
"Human sacrifice cannot be abolished. The old system should be followed, and the decision will be made after obtaining the will of heaven during the Liqiu sacrifice."
The old man wrapped in a black robe had a hoarse voice, and his eyes were dark and gloomy, full of mystery and elusiveness.
Di Xin responded face to face, "Then wait until the beginning of autumn to discuss."
His gaze was extremely cold.
Divine power cannot be above kingly power.He wants an obedient witch who speaks more of his own than that of the nobles.
Di Xin thought of Daji.
And in the main hall, apart from Di Xin, there was another person who was also thinking about Daji.To be precise, it is Daji's other identity, Houtu.
Kong Xuan was thinking about the words of Empress Tu after the night of the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts——
"The dynasties of the human world cannot be permanent. The evil power of the Phoenix clan after the catastrophe of the dragon and the phoenix is actually not very effective, and it is also unstable."
"I know."
At that time, Kong Xuan smiled wryly, "But now there is no other way to relieve it except this method."
To counteract evil forces requires merit and luck.Where are they going to find it?
The Nether Lord, whose face was covered with a layer of tulle, smiled at him with a gentle voice.
"However, I can show the Feng family a clear path."
Kong Xuan, "Please give me your advice."
"I am the master of the tunnel, and I shall seal the mountains and rivers."
Daji spread her hand, and an illusory picture scroll appeared in her palm.
The volume is full of radiance and fairy charm, and there are three big golden characters of "Shan Hai Jing" on it.
There are a lot of gaps in the picture scroll, only the East China Sea and a few rivers near the East China Sea are clear, and other places seem to be shrouded in gray fog.
Daji said, "Now the dragon clan Bi An has surrendered and led some dragon clans to explore the world's waters."
Kong Xuan didn't need to use any brains to get it. The clear East China Sea and several rivers on the map must be the credit of Bi An during this period of time.
It can be seen that although the Shan Hai Jing as a whole is not yet solid, it is already covered by the mighty power of the rules.If it can be filled completely, the Dragon Clan will be able to obtain a large amount of merit.
envious?envy?The dragon and the phoenix have been enemies for thousands of years. How come such a good thing falls on the dragon clan, but not their phoenix clan?
This idea just sprouted in his mind, Kong Xuan met Empress Houtu's eyes that seemed to see everything.
She looked at him gently, her face was shrouded in mist and could not be seen clearly, but it seemed to exude a sacred and solemn brilliance, which was convincing.
"I just want the Dragon Clan to control the rivers and seas. As for the mountains, rivers and land, maybe the Feng Clan and the Qilin Clan can share it?"
How can it be called sharing when doing something of great merit?
Kong Xuan was so delighted that he almost agreed.
But when the words came to his lips, he hesitated again.
He knew that completing the Classic of Mountains and Seas was undoubtedly a great merit, but it also tied the Feng family to an authentic car.
This not only means that they have to cooperate with their old rivals, the Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan, but also means that the Feng Clan has to stand on the opposite side of the Heavenly Court.
Kong Xuan sighed silently.
Although he is the son of Yuanfeng, he can't decide the important affairs of the clan alone.Just like Di Xin, he also had to seek the opinions of the elders in the clan.
Daji gave him three days to think about it, and now the time is up, but there are still some old-fashioned people in the clan who are resisting cooperation with the Dragon Clan, blaming him for forgetting his mother's feud, and fearing that he will offend Heaven and so on.
The opportunity is fleeting, and he doesn't want to miss it.
Kong Xuan pursed his lips, glanced at King Shang on the high platform, and made up his mind.
Anyway, those elders can't beat him...
In Shouxian Palace, Daji welcomed Di Xin after a long absence.
When Emperor Xin came, Qing Si had just sent away two princes—Yin Jiao and Yin Hong.
Both Yin Jiao and Yin Hong came from Queen Jiang.After Queen Jiang was reprimanded because of Daji, the two princes often came to trouble Daji.
Daji dealt with them once, only saying that they were two impulsive, ignorant teenagers who were easily provoked.Arrogant and arrogant is very similar to Di Xin, but not as shrewd and fierce as Di Xin.
As the two sons of Emperor Xinwei and the future successor of Chengtang, in Daji's eyes, Yin Hong, Yin Jiao, is obviously unqualified.
So she only saw them for the first time, and then handed them over to Qing Si.
How can two innocent and ignorant little princes fight against a thousand-year-old vixen?
But they have also been defeated repeatedly. The previous time, they were stunned by Qingsi or jumped in anger, and they came back again after listening to Queen Jiang's cry.It's so stupid that it makes people helpless.
Di Xin felt the same way about this.
Yin Hong from Yinjiao saw Di Xin.Thinking of Queen Jiang who was getting thinner day by day, after saluting to Di Xin, she couldn't help feeling injustice for her mother.
"The queen mother is wholeheartedly for the father, how can the father favor the demon concubine and make the mother sad!"
The eldest prince Yin Jiao stiffened his neck and was furious.
The second prince Yin Hong went one step further,
"Yes, father. What good is Su Daji other than a face? It's just the daughter of a little prince, and her background is not even as good as Concubine Huang and Concubine Yang. The father actually let her preside over the sacrifice. It's no wonder that she is more favored than the mother. Warning, there is a monster in Chaoge City that makes everyone in the city dream."
Di Xin didn't want to talk to these two sons.
He knows exactly what Queen Jiang has done to his heirs over the years.Just because he feels that he is young and strong, so there is no need to worry.You can wait until Dong Bohou is resolved and the queen is replaced before raising an heir.
Therefore, Queen Jiang wins over her sons and turns a blind eye to the fact that they spoiled them.
Di Xin didn't like the queen, nor did he like the two sons.The queen is the daughter of Dong Bohou, and she listens to her father very much.The two sons also listened to the Queen very much.
There is nothing wrong with filial piety, but Di Xin hates them for being too stupid.
Hearing Yin Hong's words at this moment, Di Xin narrowed his eyes, stared at Yin Hong deeply, and asked sternly, "Who told you that there is a monster in Chaoge?"
He looked at his son like a beast without emotion.
Yin Hong flinched unconsciously, and pulled his brother Yin Jiao's sleeve, his voice trembling with fright.
"Yes, the queen mother said..."
Yin Jiao was also very scared, but his younger brother's behavior made him pick up the courage to be an older brother.
The young man took a deep breath and shouted at his father,
"The monster is Su Daji!"
Snapped--
Di Xin slapped the eldest prince.
"idiot."
He has the supernatural power to change a beam, even if this slap does not use all his strength, it is enough to knock the eldest prince down to the ground and spit out a bloody tooth.
"Wow, what a ruthless strike."
Not far away, Qing Si, who was standing on the railing of Shouxian Palace watching this scene, hissed lightly, his eyes gleaming.
"Such a powerful arm, if he is not the king, I really want to...hehe."
Qing Si turned a blind eye to Di Xin's cruelty, obviously only greedy for his body.
Daji heard it funny, and said softly, "If you like him, let Fei Zhong find you an upright identity to enter the palace."
Qing Si licked her lips, but shook her head.
"I can't eat meat, it's not interesting. I still want to follow my mother."
The millennium vixen has her shrewdness.
Qingsi rolled her eyes, and asked Daji again, "It's been a few days since the gate of hell opened, and he's busy now, why did he think of coming to Shouxian Palace?"
Daji was in a good mood after being surrendered by Kong Xuan.With a smile, he made a joke with Qing Si.
"Naturally for me."
Qing Si's eyes widened, dumbfounded.
"what?"
Naturally, Di Xin came for Daji.
With the previous cooperation of Jinchuang Yao, he entered the Shouxian Palace, waved away the palace staff, and got straight to the point.
"How does the beauty think about the abolition of human sacrifice and the use of ghost coins for sacrifices?"
"How I view this matter is not important, what matters is how the king views slaves."
Daji knelt on the colorful woven straw mat, smiling softly,
"I heard that the Jiaoge doctor appointed by the king turned out to be a pariah selling fish and salt. There are also soldiers in the army who used to be slaves?"
She didn't answer directly, but what she said already showed her attitude.
Di Xin raised his eyebrows, his bad mood improved a lot because of his two stupid sons.
He thought to himself, Su Daji, who is full of civil and military affairs, can't understand him.
Then he replied, "Fu Shuo is a slave who built the wall, but he can assist the former king Wu Ding in Zhongxing. In the view of the lonely king, slaves, common people, and nobles are all tools. Those who can be used by me will be kept. Those who cannot be used by me will be destroyed. .”
Daji nodded, the answer was within her expectation.
She observed Di Xin for a long time.Although this King of Shang lacks a little benevolence, he is arrogant, cruel, and ambitious, but at the same time, in order to realize his ambition, he can indeed overthrow the old system and act on his talents.
Simply put, he can reuse women or use slaves.As long as they can help him consolidate the kingship.
Coupled with his natural advantages as a human king, when the God Conferred Tribulation is imminent, there is indeed no better choice than him in the short term.
"In that case, I have something to offer to the King."
Daji had a choice, and took out a yellowed object that was folded squarely from her sleeve and put it on the table in front of Di Xin.
Di Xin picked up the thin thing and opened it, couldn't help standing up, his fingers clenched.
"This...isn't Mingbi?"
"This thing, famous paper."
"Did you dream?"
"Did you dream too?"
"Ah, you also—"
Several acquainted masters meet each other, and each can see the fear hidden under each other's pretended posture.The prostrate slaves looked up at their masters blankly, listening to their clueless conversations.
