Chapter 1078 Houyi Heng'e returns to the East and stabilizes you will be used

Hearing Heng'e's resolute words: "If the king can really relieve the hardships of our people for thousands of years, Heng'e will surely persuade all countries to make Dongyi the minister of the Great Merchants forever."

"If it is true as you said, everyone will be happy." King Zhou sighed, "It's just that the various ethnic groups in Dongyi are not united and have their own calculations. Even if there are two countries, the poor and the Hu, who are willing to submit, how can the other countries be willing to submit?"

"Even if I have a long-term plan, I can't implement it. The immediate plan is to use force to subdue the countries so that they don't dare to rebel, and then use kindness to influence them, so that they can return to their hearts."

Faced with the subsequent tentative inquiries of Heng'e and Houyi, King Zhou talked eloquently, introducing various advanced concepts such as economic theory, national integration, and cultural integration learned from Confucianism, as to how to specifically help Dongyi The measures and details of poverty alleviation are tight-lipped.

Back then, what Xiao Peng passed on to Kunpeng Hongyun was not just Confucianism. Confucianism was destined to help the imperial court govern the world. Therefore, Xiao Peng packaged and passed on many of the strategies and development methods of later generations to them.

Therefore, Hongyun and Kunpeng preached through Confucianism, and almost all of them are good at governing the country.

In the original plot history, after Ji Fa established the Western Zhou Dynasty, he enfeoffed the princes and enfeoffed the land of Dongyi to Jiang Ziya for Qi State. The land of Qi State was barren and sparsely populated, which was very desolate.

Jiang Ziya became the king of Qi at the age of more than 90 years. On the one hand, he led people to cultivate the sea and herd fish, and on the other hand, he vigorously developed commerce. After more than ten years, Qi State became the richest place in the world with two harvests of fish and salt, so Dongyi must be rich. It's actually not that hard to get up.

Hearing this, Heng'e was fascinated, and began to believe that the great king of the Shang Dynasty had the ability to change the future of Dongyi. He immediately knelt down and worshiped: "Please don't care about the past, and save Dongyi from suffering for generations. Heng'e is willing to be a slave." As a maidservant, I will serve the king all my life."

After hearing this, Hou Yi on the side also knelt down and said: "If the king can really improve the lives of our people, Hou Yi is willing to go through fire and water for the king, and he will die."

Knowing that the two kings of the most powerful Dongyi country were finally convinced, King Zhou smiled and stepped forward to support the two of them, and said with a smile: "You two are serious, if the widow's plan can really come true, you two will be my rulers in the East." Left hand and right arm, why do you talk about slaves?"

The basic situation of Dongyi is similar to what Jiang Huanchu knew. Youqiong, Youhu, Youge, Chuguan, and Chuxun are the five major forces in Dongyi. Among them, Youqiong is the strongest, followed by Youhu.

Although the other three countries are not as powerful as the two countries, if the three countries are united, they will not be inferior to the two countries. Therefore, King Zhou still needs the efforts of Hou Yi and Chang'e to completely quell the troubles of the Eastern Barbarians.

At present, King Zhou promised Houyi and Chang'e that as long as the two can pacify Dongyi and ensure peace and stability in the east of Dashang, he will canonize Dongyi as the Qi State, Houyi will be the King of Qi, and Dashang will do everything possible to help Qi develop. Economy and people's livelihood.

As for Heng'e, of course there are other arrangements, but it also depends on her own wishes, how could the two refuse?After Hou Yi completely surrendered to the great merchants, Dayi finally let go. He joined Dayi's sect as he wished and became Dayi's personal disciple.

King Zhou ordered Zhang Guifang, Feng Lin, the four generals of the Mo family, Li Jing and others to stay and assist Houyi to unify Dongyi. Of course, King Zhou supported Houyi to unify Dongyi and establish Qi, which may not have the intention of restraining Dong Bohou Jiang Huanchu.

At present, the most powerful among the princes in the world are the princes of the four directions, Xibohou Jichang, Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu, Nanbohou E Chongyu, and Beibohou Chonghou Hu.

Back then, after Ji Chang's father died of a hunger strike under house arrest by King Wending of the Great Shang Dynasty, he worked hard to govern and gathered a large army to prepare for revenge. The princes of the East Road also began to rebel, making it difficult for Emperor Yi to take care of both left and right.

What's abominable is that the other princes pretended to be deaf and dumb to Zhou Yu's attack on Shang. On the one hand, they were jealous of Xiqi's powerful strength, and on the other hand, they also believed that Shang was the one who was wronged, which meant watching a good show.

In desperation, Emperor Yi of the Eastern Expedition had no choice but to marry his most beloved sister to Ji Chang in a kinship way to quell the war, and this matter was also regarded by Emperor Yi as a great shame and shame.

King Zhou also always regarded Xiqi as a confidant and enemy, not only because of his previous record of rebellion, but also because Xiqi was also strong and prosperous under Jichang's governance, and if he failed to keep it clean, he would attack him in the future.

What's more, there is also Emperor Yi's personal enmity, even if Xiqi does not rebel, King Zhou will attack Xiqi sooner or later.

Northern Bohou Chonghou Hu is regarded as King Zhou's hard-core supporter, and he is also one of the most "helping Zhou and abusing" among the four great princes in the original history. The other three princes despised him.

Chonghouhu is greedy for money and lustful, flattering his superiors and bullying his inferiors. He is a standard "local tyrant and evil gentry" character, but his ambition is very small, and he has a strong sense of fear and submission to the kingship in his heart.

For a king, although this kind of person has bad deeds, he is easier to control than those famous "sages". Therefore, Chonghouhu is the least threatening one among the four princes.

Nan Bohou E Chongyu has a rough appearance and a deep heart. No one can guess what is going on in his mind. He is the most difficult character among the four princes.

The last one is Dong Bohou Jiang Huanchu. He is handsome, upright, wise and courageous, and he is the only one among the four princes whose strength can be compared with Ji Chang.

King Zhou learned from Jiang Wenhuan, who had completely turned his heart to him, that throughout the ages, the Jiang family had a very strong sense of clan, sometimes even surpassing the emphasis on royal power.

Therefore, if King Zhou wants to unify the world in the future and change the system of enfeoffment into a centralized monarchy system that is more suitable for ruling, Jiang's family is probably one of the few hard nuts to crack.

But now that there is Houyi's Qi State, Jiang Huanchu is almost under the surveillance of the big merchants at any time. If there is any change in him, he will first face the Qi State's conquest.

The Dongyi tribe, who were good at riding and shooting, had the saddle, stirrup and crossbow generously shared by King Zhou, and their combat power immediately increased several times. Jiang Huanchu alone may not be Houyi's opponent.

At this point, the disaster of Dongyi was basically settled, and King Zhou won a brilliant victory in his first personal conquest. Of course, he also knew in his heart that almost all the credit for this victory belonged to Kong Xuan and others.

However, Kong Xuan and others are all practitioners of profound Taoism, and they don't need to be rewarded by King Zhou. To put it bluntly, the reason why they came to Dashang is that their ultimate goal is to send all the people who interpret and teach to the list of gods in the Great Tribulation of Gods .

More than ten days later, the great Shang army returned to the court and returned triumphantly. This battle was of great significance. Wei" purpose.

After this battle, the majesty of the Great Shang King is well known to all the world, and the eight hundred princes each know what they are, and those who are timid and weak will naturally surrender willingly, and those who have different intentions are also full of scruples.

Knowing that the king had returned to the court with great victory, the court song shook up and down, and the people spontaneously organized and lined the road to welcome the return of the army.

In front of the army and people in the city, King Zhou personally announced the news of the army's pacification of Dongyi in a passionate tone, and the people burst into cheers.

After vigorously praising the bravery of the soldiers in front, he also emphasized the praise of Chaoge's officials and people, saying that a stable rear is the fundamental guarantee for the troops in front to fight with peace of mind.

In the end, King Zhou mourned all the soldiers who died in battle, expressed condolences to their families, and issued pensions. Those soldiers who were seriously injured and could no longer fight were also compensated accordingly. All the soldiers and civilians shed tears of gratitude. Qiqi knelt down and praised the king's kindness.

……

In the sky, Xiao Peng and Nu Wa, who were embracing each other, watched the scene silently. After a long time, when King Zhou and all the civil and military returned to the palace, Xiao Peng smiled and asked Nu Wa: "How? What do you think?"

Nuwa smiled slightly and said: "Very well, Kunpeng Hongyun and the others have contributed a lot to enlightening the human race. Under the teachings of Confucianism, Di Xin became a benevolent and wise king, with a stable business fortune. , I’m afraid it’s unshakable.”

When Xiao Peng heard the words, the smile on his face suddenly faded a little, and he sighed: "The luck is stable, but it is not unshakable. If it cannot be shaken, it proves that it is not enough to shake it. If a saint wants to deal with this country's luck , so what?"

Nu Wa frowned slightly, turned to look at Xiao Peng, and said, "You mean, they will forcibly attack Da Shang in order to complete the Great Tribulation of Conferred Gods?"

Xiao Peng nodded, and said, "That's right, and I guess, they will use you to kick off the Great Tribulation of Conferred Gods."

"Me?" Nuwa was startled, and then said dissatisfied: "I'm not a fool, how can I be easily used by them?"

Xiao Peng shook his head with a smile, and said: "Now that the catastrophe is about to happen, the secrets are chaotic. Even if you are a saint, it is not true. If they plan carefully, if you don't know the secrets, you will fall into the shell if you don't keep them all." Among them, they are used by them and become their pushers."

"Fortunately, no matter how chaotic the secrets are, they can't be hidden from my eyes. If you don't believe me, just watch! They will definitely use you, but with me here, I won't let you fall into the trap."

Nuwa smiled again, tilted her head slightly, and said, "Then I'll just wait and see."

……

A few months later, Empress Nuwa's Christmas day came as promised. According to the practice handed down by the human race for thousands of years, on this day, the king of the people had to go to the Nuwa Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, and King Zhou was no exception.

On that day, Chaoge people obeyed the order of the king, burned incense and set fires in every household, decorated lanterns and streamers, and celebrated the Christmas of Nuwa Empress.

Since King Zhou ascended the throne, he rebuilt the Nuwa Palace and replaced the original clay sculptures with more noble bronze statues. Since then, there have been sufficient offerings and incense burning every year.

The main hall of the Nuwa Palace is decorated exquisitely and in a gorgeous style. On the agarwood throne in the center is the holy statue of the Nuwa Empress, and there are golden boys and jade maidens standing on both sides. Solemn and mysterious.

As soon as King Zhou entered the hall, he showed a pious expression and respectfully offered incense in accordance with the etiquette procedures. All civil and military officials knelt down to congratulate him and offered various offerings.

King Zhou looked respectful, without squinting his eyes, and bowed his head to recite the prayer: "Shouxin, the king of the Great Shang, congratulates his mother on her long life and boundless life. Her holiness is immeasurable. All people in the world will sincerely worship her. I beseech you to bless my great business for a long time..."
