"The fiery sun has just risen from the mountains ~"
Li Changshou walked in the spirit beast enclosure with his hands behind his back as he hummed a tune that he could not forget from the depths of his memory. He was clearly in a good mood.
After guiding Zi Shou once, he actually felt a little accomplished.
It was probably because King Zhou in his hometown on Earth was too famous that he inevitably had a subtle feeling that he had witnessed history and so on.
Thinking of this, Li Changshou grinned and continued to hum his tune leisurely.
Zi Shou's personality did not seem to be cruel. At most, he was a little reckless. Moreover, he had a strong sense of "family mission" and wanted to bring the Shang Nation to prosperity.
Why was it a sense of duty?
In the understanding of the mortal human emperors like Zi Shou and Di Yi, the current country was their family's private property.
Putting aside the environment, it was pure nonsense to talk about being advanced and backward in thinking. However, Li Changshou did see something different from the Shang Lords like Di Yi and Di Ding in Zi Shou.
That might be the reason why Wen Zhong gradually got too into character when he was beside Zi Shou.
Of course, it was too early to make such a conclusion now.
The current Zi Shou still had a long way to go. No one could say what kind of "flower bud" he would grow into in the end.
Not to mention, there was still that 'stimulant' Su Daiji.
Could it really be a Heavenly Axiom hardcore script like "A Thousand Year Fox Is Ten Thousand Year Demon", and this pot was destined to be carried by the femme fatale?
Isn't that a bit too despicable?
Of course, these words were just slanderous words in his heart. It was impossible for him to say it out loud.
His immortal senses spread out like ripples on the water surface …
Hmm?
What was wrong with Youqin?
She seemed to be in low spirits as she walked out of the chess room with a dejected look on her face. She gathered her skirt and sat on the doorsill, leaning against the door frame in a daze …
Li Changshou was confused. He had never seen Youqin Genya like this.
Li Changshou scanned with his immortal senses and saw a certain Connate Cardinal treasure laughing with its head raised, as well as a pile of treasure pouches and Fire Qilin Sword Case placed in front of the spiritual illusion.
What did the Chaos Bell need Spirit Stones for? Throw it for a sound?
She had ruined the atmosphere in his chess room!
After some thought, Li Changshou turned around and slipped away before he disturbed the joyous atmosphere in the chess room.
After a few days, he found a free moment in the chess room and secretly put up a warning card.
[There is love in competition, but ruthlessness in gambling.]
The anti-gambling campaign of the Primordial Celestial Court began from the backyard of the Great White Palace!
Li Changshou looked around for a while and nodded in satisfaction. He turned around and walked toward the thatched hut.
With every step he took, he naturally moved forward by more than two feet.
But in the eyes of others, every time he lifted his foot and landed his foot, his figure would naturally appear a thousand feet away.
There was no flicker, no pause, and there were no ripples in the universe. It was as if he had already become one with nature, and it was as if the rules of walking were like this.
Clearly, Li Changshou's Dao was becoming more and more profound, and he was heading towards a certain domain that would never return …
Li Changshou did not know if he had taken the wrong path, but he, who had obtained the Dao Ancestor's Three Corpses Slaying Technique, no longer planned to slay the Three Corpses.
That would not be stable.
After returning to the straw hut, Li Changshou sat behind his short table. He took out a blank cloth and wrote a line of small words on it.
"Records of Famous Shang Officials."
After all, he had not been in Chaoge City for nothing. From now on, he would observe the officials around the King of Shang and choose those who were talented, proficient in political affairs, caring for the people, and compassionate.
Since he was asked to preside over the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, he had to act like the main tribulation taker.
The Celestial Court would not accept those nobles who won because they stood on the right side and did not have any real talent.
It was better to have the position of a legitimate god.
"Senior Brother ~"
Ling 'e's soft voice sounded from outside the door. Li Changshou smiled and agreed. He did not stop writing and continued to write the preface.
Ling 'e walked over leisurely in a light green immortal dress. She was holding a bowl of cold soup in her hand. It was a new skill that she had recently learned.
Kneeling on the meditation cushion beside Li Changshou, Ling 'e leaned her head over and asked curiously,
"Senior Brother, are you trying to turn mortal officials into officials of the Celestial Court?"
"There's only one opportunity to take advantage of the Great Tribulation."
Li Changshou smiled and said, "The difference between immortals and mortals is only the immortal fate and immortal roots. Some immortals are not as smart and scheming as mortals.
The Heavenly Dao does not care about the strength of living beings. It can directly bestow merit and comprehension to allow mortals to ascend. Why not?
There are at least one-third of the spots on the God roll. They have to be reserved for the sages of the current human race. This is a necessary symbol for the Celestial Court to represent the human race. It is also the fusion of the destiny of the Celestial Court and the human race. "
Ling 'e blinked and did not understand. She smiled and said,
She smiled and said, "Ahhhh, in the blink of an eye, Senior Brother has already become a mature immortal."
Li Changshou glared at Ling 'e. The latter made a face and giggled as she hugged his arm. She deliberately made some physical contact and suppressed the shyness in her heart.
She was taking the initiative to adapt to a more intimate relationship. Li Changshou would not refuse and would sometimes take the initiative.
Who wouldn't love an obedient, adorable, and infatuated little junior sister?
"By the way, did your Senior Sister Youqin lose all her Spirit Stones?"
"Uh … Senior Brother, did you see it?"
Ling 'e moved away guiltily and whispered, "It's my fault. I didn't stop Sister Zhong in time."
"Hahahaha!"
Li Changshou and Ling 'e laughed wildly in their hearts at the same time.
Li Changshou's forehead darkened. He flicked his left hand, and a crisp bell suddenly sounded by the lake. He exclaimed in his heart.
The Chaos Bell roared with its spiritual perception, "Junior, how dare you hit me!?!"
At that moment, a wisp of Yin-Yang aura quietly bloomed.
The Chaos Bell, which was about to return to its original size and come over to denounce him, instantly shrank and returned to its three-inch height. It hung on the branch of the willow tree by the lake and swayed back and forth. The spiritual perception that it transmitted was still a little stubborn.
"Annoying! Why do you keep disturbing Boss Tu? Can't we solve our own problems? "
"Pfft!"
"Who dares to laugh!?!"
The small pagoda beside Li Changshou's essence soul instantly sealed itself and restrained all its brilliance. It did not dare to move.
The levels of treasures were really strict. Even the Pagoda Master would become a younger brother one day.
After laughing for a while, Li Changshou had a flash of inspiration. Hence, he slowly disassembled the inspiration and turned it into enlightenment. He slowly dispersed it in his Dao heart and closed his eyes to snort softly.
It was comfortable.
It was a hard-won epiphany.
Now, the frequency of epiphanies was getting lower and lower. After all, there were fewer and fewer things that could make him feel something.
"Senior Brother, can I make an instrument at the side?"
"Yes." Li Changshou picked up the jade bowl and took a sip. He smiled gently at Ling 'e and lowered his head to continue writing.
After all, this was something that he wanted to show the Jade Emperor. It would also change the fate of many people. He had to be careful and try his best to be thorough.
He suddenly thought …
Is the Western Sect really calm?
Not necessarily.
Li Changshou felt that the Western Sect was preparing to take revenge on him. This revenge might appear at various subsequent nodes.
When will the other party attack?
Li Changshou thought for a while and used his old skill.
He thought from another perspective.
If I were the Sixth Saint, what would I plan next to vent the anger in my heart and burn the battle between Chan School and Jie School?
In Li Changshou's heart, a scroll that he had imagined slowly unfolded. A clear story line appeared on it and connected the choice boxes.
Jie School, the killing tribulation, the battle between Chan School and Jie School, Taibai Jinxing …
Foster father, foster son, Li Jing?
A moment later, Li Changshou closed his eyes and focused. He stood still like a dry rock, and his aura was a little faint.
Ling 'e looked up at her senior brother and sighed softly in her heart. However, a happy smile appeared on her lips.
I still can't help him.
…
Three months later, Li Changshou met Zi Shou at night.
The expedition army of the Shang Nation returned to the Shang Nation. Most of the generals rushed back to Chaoge City overnight. They accused the prince of killing the victorious general in the army.
The next morning.
The officials gathered in the King's Hall. Zi Shou was dressed in armor and knelt in front of the hall without saying a word. Di Yi sat expressionlessly.
The sixteen expeditionary generals all knelt down on one knee, describing the scene of Shuzi's execution. Their words were intense and indignant.
The ministers immediately discussed. Many old ministers said that this matter would destroy the morale of the army and would definitely damage the morale of the army.
The Grand Chancellor was the leader of the internal court and was the closest to the king.
At that moment, he said, "There has been no such thing as killing the victorious generals in the army since ancient times.
This matter needs to be handled carefully, Your Majesty. Don't disappoint the hearts of the soldiers who are fighting hard. "
Di Yi nodded slowly and said, "Dear ministers, is anyone defending Zi Shou?"
Young Master Wen Zhong walked out of the crowd and bowed. "Your Majesty, there's another story behind this matter. Why don't you listen to Zi Shou?"
A few ministers spoke.
"No matter how much there is, how can we kill him after winning?"
"It's a fact that the prince killed the general for no reason."
"The Shang Dynasty was established by the military. Our ancestors fought everywhere to achieve their current prosperity. How can we waste our foundation?"
Wen Zhong frowned slightly. At that moment, he realized that he had stood up too early.
"Ahem!"
Suddenly, he heard a light cough coming from the corner in front of the hall. Half of the ministers stopped talking and looked at the old minister who had become older.
He was naturally Li Changshou's' official 'paper effigy, Di Yi's six ministers, and the historian of the Shang Nation.
Li Changshou said slowly, "Your Majesty, why don't you leave this matter to Lord Bi Gan? Lord Bi Gan is like a god in solving cases. There have been no unjust cases in Chaoge City for a long time. "
Bi Gan turned to look at Li Changshou and muttered to himself, 'This old emissary usually has nothing to do with me. I didn't expect him to recommend me.'
The Heart of Qiqiao Linglong spun, and Bi Gan immediately understood that this might be his elder brother's intention.
The old fox, the emissary, was usually very low-key, but he was very popular in the court. Many officials were promoted because of him. He could not afford to offend him.
A faint smile appeared on Di Yi's lips. He looked at Bi Gan on the left and said warmly,
"Brother, how do you think we should deal with this matter?"
Bi Gan took a step forward.
He looked at his younger brother, who had once been supported by Chan School for half a month. He had a slender figure and a jade-like face. At that moment, he had already entered middle age. He was much less sharp and more stable.
He had the Heart of Seven Orifices, but he had never been smooth and smooth. He was extremely upright.
He was good at figuring out the evil of the human heart, but he never begged for mercy for the nobles.
Everyone in Chaoge City sang, "There is a clear sky in Chaoge, and I can distinguish between loyalty and treachery." It was about Bi Gan.
Bi Gan pondered for a while and bowed to Di Yi.
"Your Majesty, I think that no matter what case it is, we should listen to both parties and collect enough evidence before making a reasonable judgment.
Please allow your nephew to enter and tell me the inside story. "
Di Yi smiled and said, "Since Brother Wang has said that, let me enter the hall to tell you the inside story."
Outside the hall, Zi Shou first raised his head and bowed before slowly standing up.
He held the sword at his waist and slowly walked into the hall. His eyes were clear and his expression was relaxed. However, when his gaze swept across the ministers on both sides, there was a sharp glint in his eyes, causing many old ministers to feel uneasy.
At that moment, Zi Shou followed Li Changshou's instructions. He first established benevolence and promoted martial ethics. Then, he mixed up the crimes of the two generals and changed them from "changing military uniforms to taking in prisoners of war" to "not hesitating to wear the clothes of the enemies who died in battle on commoners". He did not say whether he would take them in as prisoners of war or kill them directly. He directly said, "How cruel."
Then, Zi Shou shifted the conflict and said that the two generals were arrogant because of their merits. They were dissatisfied with his initial punishment and wanted to incite the army to mutiny. They also secretly communicated with many generals who were kneeling there, wanting to reduce his dignity.
What he said was the truth. However, there were some parts that were deliberately vague. He did not mention the matter of slaves.
As soon as Zi Shou finished speaking, the hall was filled with killing intent.
Di Yi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Zi Shou's voice was still calm. At that moment, he did not give the other party a chance to refute.
He sighed and said, "I'm the main general when the army is outside.
I know that there are many people in the royal court who are trying to kill me to achieve their own benefits.
However, this power struggle had already seeped into the army!
The 800 vassals were watching from outside!
How many of them are waiting for the Shang Dynasty to rot? Then, they will take advantage of the situation and replace the Shang Dynasty!
In this hall, how many people only care about themselves and the future of their children and grandchildren? However, they have forgotten that the territory of the Shang Dynasty was slowly carved out by the ancestors of the Shang Dynasty!
If you want to kill me, why don't you do it here today? Why do you have to do those dirty tricks in secret!?! "
Clang!
Zi Shou pulled out his sword and threw it into the middle of the hall. His eyes were like an eagle's, and his sword-like eyebrows emitted a cold glint!
His sharp gaze swept across the place. Most of the officials were terrified and did not dare to look at him.
"Ah …"
Zi Shou sighed and seemed to have let out a sigh. He threw the scabbard to the side and bowed deeply to his father, who was sitting high above. Without giving Bi Gan a chance to speak, he said,
"Father, in order to prevent a mutiny in the army and establish the prestige of the main general, I had no choice but to bear the pain and kill those two generals.
I'm willing to accept the punishment for today's matter. Father, please don't pursue the crimes of these generals. Most of them just don't know the truth and have empathy.
I believe that all the officials here have their hearts in the Shang Dynasty. However, sometimes, there are some differences between us and we don't understand each other. "
Di Yi could not help but smile.
Li Changshou secretly raised his eyebrows. He was quite touched by Zi Shou's last few words.
This fellow was born to be a monarch. He already knew how to control the hearts of people.
Unfortunately …
Forget it.
Zi Shou's words in the royal court today caused an earthquake in Chaoge City.
That night, news spread from the palace that Di Yi, who had not had a good appetite recently, had a hearty meal. After drinking, he even said, "The Shang Dynasty can exist for a long time." Clearly, he was quite satisfied with Zi Shou.
Not long after, Bi Gan also said publicly that the matter of killing the general was not his fault. The prince's power struggle had to be restrained.
Many ministers who were originally watching began to lean towards the young prince who had suddenly become dazzling.
As for Wei Ziqi and Wei Zhongyan, they closed the doors of their residences and rejected the guests. They seemed to be watching quietly.
In the Emissary's Residence, Li Changshou closed his eyes in the study. Just as he was about to shift his attention back to the Celestial Court, the Wind Speech Incantation brought about a conversation …
It was Zi Shou and Wen Zhong.
"Young Master, who exactly is this emissary of the Underworld?
All these years, he had been mocked by the old officials in the imperial court. He had never taken the initiative to say it. According to the emissary's words, those people were so scared that they could not speak.
This time, I'm really happy! "
"Zi Shou, be careful with your words. This emissary is not someone I can casually recommend.
He is a true expert. He can't be moved by power or wealth.
There are some things that I can't tell you in detail, but I must remember that unless it's a matter of life and death, don't bother him. Otherwise, it will only be counterproductive. "
"Emissary is also an immortal?"
"He can cover the sky with one hand."
"Then why did he come to the Shang Dynasty?"
"Have fun. However, there are also rumors that the Shang Dynasty is his chess piece. I can't see what's going on. Zi Shou, you can't know either. Don't spout nonsense."
The corners of Li Changshou's mouth twitched when he heard that.
Wen Zhong had indeed fallen for it. He had even secretly told Zi Shou that he was not an ordinary person.
That's right. After all, human hearts are made of flesh. Wen Zhong had been the Young Master for some years. He could be said to be inseparable from Zi Shou.
Would there be any hidden dangers?
Li Changshou fell into deep thought again and went back and forth to investigate the matters related to Wen Zhong.
At that moment, he was not the only one who was thinking about Wen Zhong.
…
In the Waterfall Pavilion at the back mountain of the Jade Void Palace.
"This Wen Zhong sounds a little familiar."
Guang Chengzi tapped the table in front of him rhythmically and frowned in thought.
Chi Jingzi said, "He's the disciple of the Goddess of Golden Spirit, the third generation of Jie School. Previously, he listened to Junior Brother Changgeng's lecture with Disciple-Nephew Yang Jian and the others and walked in Chaoge City.
At that time, we were only concerned about Li Jing of Ren School and forgot about that.
I didn't expect that he had already become the Young Master when we didn't pay attention to Chaoge City. "
Perfected Huang Long was puzzled. "What's a Young Master?"
Chi Jingzi said, "According to I's investigation, as long as the new emperor ascends the throne, the Young Master will mostly be worshiped as the Grand Tutor. He will have great authority in the mortal court and can influence military and political matters."
Perfected Taiyi put his hands in his sleeves and smiled.
"It's not like our Eldest Senior Brother has never been the teacher of the Human Emperor before. He just doesn't care much. Why worry?"
Guang Chengzi glared at Taiyi and threw the jade token in his hand on the table.
"We can't be so careless. Jie School has made a good move this time.
From the looks of it, Wen Zhong will become an important figure in the Great Tribulation. We have to think about how to deal with him. "
Perfected Yu Ding said in a low voice, "It's better not to do too much. It won't be too late to move when the heavenly secrets are more obvious."
Perfected Taiyi pursed his lips habitually and looked lifeless. "Alright, let's see which current prince is so unlucky to be supported by us for half a month."
The other eight immortals in the pavilion looked at him helplessly. Perfected Taiyi shrugged.
With the jade tripod, he was naturally fearless.
…
At the same time, in the Green Touring Palace.
Daoist Duobao slipped away and stopped the Goddess of Golden Spirit, who had just returned to look for refining materials.
"Junior Sister Jin Ling, has your disciple gained anything in the past ten years? The Fire Spirit hasn't sent any news for a long time. I'm worried about them. "
"Um …"
"It's fine even if we encounter obstacles. How can it be so easy to infiltrate the core region of the Great Tribulation? The mortals are filthy and complicated. We can't blame him for returning empty-handed."
"I was busy and didn't ask. I'll send a jade token to ask him later."
"Alright, there's no rush."
