Fengshen: I can inherit the inheritance of my subordinates

Chapter 185 The situation is bad
In Xiqi City, Ji Fa was shocked when he saw King Zhou's confession letter, and hurriedly summoned San Yisheng and Zhou Gongdan to the palace to discuss matters. As for Jiang Ziya, he had been neglected for a long time.

"My humble minister pays homage to the king."

Sanyi and Zhougongdan Chaoji release ceremony.

Jiang Ziya's power fell to the side, and the power was distributed to two people, who were Ji Fa's confidantes.

"You don't need to be too polite, take a look at this imperial edict."

Ji Fa pointed to the bamboo slips on the case table. Zhou Gongdan stepped forward to pick them up, scanned them hastily, and couldn't help but change his face, saying: "My lord, something big must have happened to Chaoge."

After finishing speaking, he handed the imperial edict to San Yisheng who was beside him.

Ji Fa said: "King Zhou is the king of a country. He issued this edict, which shows that he has plans to abdicate. This is not a good thing for us Xiqi."

Zhou Gongdan said: "Yes, King Zhou is fatuous and immoral, causing the people to complain. The princes are afraid that they will end up like Jiang Hengchu and E Chongyu. They have not gone to the court for many years. The deterrence of the big merchants to the four towns Gradually lost. But if you change the king of Shang, how can you let this situation worsen? You will try every means to repair the relationship with the princes. Once the princes renew their allegiance to the king of Shang, we, Xiqi, are afraid of being wiped out. "

The great merchants are in the hands of King Zhou, and there are internal and external troubles. They cannot deal with Xiqi with one mind. If they change to a wise king, it will be hard to say.

San Yisheng said: "Your Majesty, the matter is serious, we can only give up the matter of seeking peace, and we must be prepared to go to war with the Great Merchants."

Ji Fa sighed: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. I don't know who the next King of Shang will be."

San Yisheng said: "Both King Zhou's sons are alive, if what I expected is correct, I'm afraid that King Zhou's plea edict is related to them."

Ji Fa's complexion changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Yin Jiao and Yin Hong fought against Jiang Ziya in Xiqi. If one of them inherits the Datong, they will fully support Deng Zhong. Xiqi is in danger."

Deng Zhong's name had already turned pale in Xiqi, and Ji Fa was also terrified in his heart.

San Yisheng said: "Your Majesty, the most urgent thing is to invite Prime Minister Jiang to come to the palace to discuss important matters."

Ji Fa was taken aback, he had listened to his grandmother's words before, and his back stiffened, thinking that if the gods of Chanjiao were aggressive, he would never compromise, so he snubbed Jiang Ziya and seized his military power.

When he seized the military power, Ji Fa was full of enthusiasm. Xiqi's future would be controlled by himself, and there was no way for Chanjiao to intervene.

But now looking for him again, Ji Fa really couldn't bear this face.

Zhou Gongdan said: "Brother Wang, why don't I go to the Prime Minister's mansion."

As for Ji Fa's thoughts, Zhou Gongdan has a clear understanding of the fire, and he also supports it. Xiqi was shot by the ancestors of the Ji family with one knife and one gun. Jiang Ziya's fate cannot be placed in the hands of Jiang Ziya. That would be extremely unfavorable to the Ji family and the people of Xiqi Responsible.

It's just that he didn't expect that King Zhou suddenly issued an edict of pleading guilty, and Xiqi's danger was about to end. Although Jiang Ziya had suffered repeated defeats, no one was more suitable to face Deng Zhong.

Ji Fa nodded, he didn't know how to face Jiang Ziya later.

When Duke Zhou left the hall, San Yisheng suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I can't bear to see Prime Minister Jiang."

Ji Fa sighed: "Gu treated him like that before, but now that Xi Qi is in danger, he only thinks of using him. How could he have no objection?"

San Yisheng said: "Your Majesty, if the previous king did not appreciate him, Prime Minister Jiang would not be here today. His Majesty neglected him because he suffered several defeats. Prime Minister Jiang is a smart man, and I dare to guarantee that as long as the king returns the military power to him, He will definitely be grateful to you Dade."

Ji Fa's face softened.

……

When he learned that Zhou Gongdan came to the door, Jiang Ziya was shocked and got up to greet him.

Before he monopolized the power, King Wu had a lot of trust in him. When his highnesses saw him, they would respectfully shout "Prime Minister Jiang".

But as King Wu ignored him and lost his military power, Jiang Ziya fell from the peak to the bottom, and no one came to visit him anymore.

"I met Prime Minister Jiang."

Zhou Gongdan bowed his hands and saluted.

Jiang Ziya bowed back and said, "I don't know what your Highness is doing for your visit."

Zhou Gongdan said: "Your Majesty asked me to invite Prime Minister Jiang to discuss matters in the palace."

"It's not too late, let's go to the palace immediately."

Once Duke Zhou came to the prime minister's mansion, Jiang Ziya realized something, and was not surprised when he heard what he said.Although he was neglected, Jiang Ziya didn't blame King Wu, he only blamed himself.

Prestige is not given by others, but earned by ability.

I am incompetent, I suffered so many defeats, I lost [-] soldiers, such a huge number, behind [-] families, King Wu let me sit in the position of prime minister, it is already the best of benevolence.

Zhou Gongdan nodded.

The two were rushing to the palace, Zhou Gongdan said: "Prime Minister Jiang, you have heard about King Zhou's edict."

Jiang Ziya shook his head, and said: "Jiang has been staying at home reading books all this time, and I have never heard of it."

Zhou Gongdan said: "If one day, King Zhou abdicates and his son inherits the throne, Prime Minister Jiang thinks, how should I, Xiqi, deal with potential dangers."

Jiang Ziya's expression changed, and he said, "Your Highness, if such a thing really happened, it would be more dangerous for me, Xiqi, to deal with it."

The saying that the great business energy is about to be exhausted was first circulated when King Zhou Nada became his concubine.It can be said that King Zhou lost the hearts of the people of the great merchants by his own power, and the princes rose up, and the great merchants were hard to return.

But if it was Yin Jiao and Yin Hong who came to the throne, the two knew the shortcomings of the great merchants, and they could prescribe the right medicine. With the help of a great talent like Deng Zhong, they might not be unable to save their lives.

Leaving aside the situation Xiqi faced for the time being, even if he conferred the gods himself, he was in the name of justice, and he did righteous deeds. Without King Zhou, would the great merchant be able to stand the charge of immorality?

At that time, I am afraid that the Shang and Zhou two will fight for hegemony. As a result, the battle against merchants will become more difficult.

Zhou Gongdan said: "What Prime Minister Jiang said is exactly what I am worried about. Your Majesty's invitation to enter the palace is also to discuss this matter. This is related to the future of my Xiqi. If I am not careful, Xiqi will be destroyed."

Jiang Ziya said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will use what I have learned to protect Xiqi."

There are some things that Jiang Ziya can't figure out, why Yin Jiao and Yin Hong Mingming were in Xiqi, how did they go to Chaoge, and there was such a big event as King Zhou's edict.These two disciples originally came to Xiqi to block the robbery, but the direction of the matter was completely unexpected.

"With Prime Minister Jiang's words, I feel relieved. Presumably, the king also wants to hear these words."

Zhou Gongdan smiled. Through the confession edict, he smelled danger. If he handled it properly, Xiqi might not be able to escape. Of course, he had to rely on the power of interpretation.

Jiang Ziya said: "The old minister must persuade the king to be at ease."

Anyway, Deng Zhong didn't solve it, so he won't appear on the battlefield, it depends on how the division arranges.
