I am the Lord of the Underworld

Chapter 231 Nine-tailed Auspiciousness, Emperor Dijun

Wu Geng, the son of King Zhou and Daji.

Wu Geng in front of him was just a half-grown child, about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing worn leather armor, with firm eyes.

"You are Wu Geng?" While speaking, Tang Ping opened his eyebrows,

I don't know if I don't see it, but I was shocked when I saw it, this kid actually has three forms.

One is the current human appearance, and the second is a nine-tailed demon fox, but this demon fox only has two tails, so it should be a lack of skill.

The third is an Inhuman with a fox tail, fox eyes, and teeth.

At the same time, it has three forms: human, beast, and god.

No wonder Yin Jiao admired it so much.

When Wu Geng saw Tang Ping, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Greetings, Uncle!"

"What? Uncle?" Tang Ping was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why do you call me uncle?"

"Uncle saved the two elder brothers and the people of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and he has an old relationship with the father, and now he saved the life of the nephew, so the nephew calls you uncle."

Tang Ping couldn't help laughing. If he insisted on saying that, it would have something to do with it. He asked again: "The demise of the Shang Kingdom has something to do with me. Don't you hate me?"

Wu Geng replied truthfully, saying, "At first I hated it a bit, but later my nephew figured it out. The main root cause is Zhou Guo and Dongyi, and my uncle is the victim instead."

Throughout history, Chu State seldom took the initiative to attack. In the battle with Shang State, Shang State was the first to attack. At the beginning, the relationship between Chu and Shang State was even good, but later the father and king reneged on the covenant between the two countries.

Wu Geng has been hiding in Zhou Guo all these years, looking for opportunities for revenge, but as time went by, the gap between them became wider and wider.

Seeing Tang Ping now, I felt like taking refuge in him.

All in all, it is still about profit.

"Are you sure you will give him the contract of the subterranean master?" Tang Ping looked at Yin Jiao.

Without thinking, Yin Jiao said, "Give it to him."

Wu Geng still didn't understand what happened, Tang Ping shot a ray of light, which sank into Wu Geng's forehead.

Wu Geng closed his eyes, sensed the information coming from his mind, suddenly turned pale with shock, and said, "This..."

Seal the gods and rule the world.

There is such a powerful thing in the world, the gods have a bonus close to a big realm on their own territory, and the father's defeat is not unjust.

"Originally, you are a newcomer. It stands to reason that at most you will be the head of the pavilion. It is your elder brother who transferred the opportunity to you. I hope you will cherish it and don't let it down."

Wu Geng's inner meaning is difficult to understand, and it is the first time in his life that he feels the weight of family affection. Among all the words, there is only one bow.

"Thank you brother for your love, and thank you God Lord for your appreciation. This disciple will definitely do his duty faithfully, revive the Shang clan, and strengthen my divine power."

"Well, you go down to find Yuan Chi first, and he will guide you to familiarize yourself with the Shinto process."

Wu Geng resigned.

Ziwei couldn't help asking: "Wu Geng is the son of the demon fox, you two brothers believe in Wu Geng when you meet for the first time?"

"This son has the heart of a child, I can feel it. Besides, the nine-tailed fox was auspicious in the Xia Dynasty, and it was a demon fox in the Shang Dynasty. It just depends on how you use it."

The nine-tailed fox is a blank piece of paper, and it became fierce and vicious because it followed Di Xin, an ambitious man; if it followed a sage like Dayu, it would be the auspiciousness of the mother.

"It makes sense."

After a while, Tang Ping handed over another subterranean owner's contract to Xiong Yang.

"We must go to the Fire Worship Nation to conclude the agreement. Feng Xiao's territory is too far away, and it just happens to hand over the Fire Worship Nation's territory to them for governance."

Feng Xiao and Chonghou are in the south, but the Shinto territory is not in the south. In Chu State, their strength has not been brought into full play.

Now that the underground master strategy is implemented, the people of the Fire Worship Kingdom immediately received a major improvement, greatly increasing the progress of the attack on the south.

There are no miscellaneous canonization ceremonies. If Tang Ping had time to do it before, now with his status, he basically doesn't need to rely on these ceremonies to gain a sense of existence.

Xiong Yang suddenly said: "Yuguo, Daniaoguo, and some Yongguo people want to join, what advice does the God Lord have?"

"Then let them return, it's nothing."

Subordination means that except for the state, except for a small part of the fiefdom, everything else is merged into the Chu state.

"This disciple also thinks the same way. The Yu Kingdom has been established for many years, and it has long been indistinguishable from the people of Chu."

Xiong Yang thought for a while, as if he had made some kind of decision, and said, "I plan to implement the system of prefectures and counties in an all-round way. The state of Zhou is getting stronger and stronger. If the state of Chu is still stagnant, it will be difficult to surpass them."

What is the foundation of Chu State?
A large number of fugitive slaves and savages took refuge in Chu, which brought a large population to Chu. In addition, there was no distinction between the country and the country, and a large number of civilian talents emerged.

The reason why the slaves and savages fled was naturally because of the brutal human sacrifice system in the Shang Kingdom.

The state of Zhou is now changing human sacrifices step by step, and even most of the vassal states have canceled human sacrifices, leaving only sacrificial burials, and under Zhou Gong's intervention, there are very few sacrificial burials. Ordinary slaves are not eligible for burials.

Therefore, Chu State needs a system, a system that makes the country prosperous and strong.

The advantage of comprehensive prefectures and counties is that the king of Chu has the power to dispatch personnel, which can fully mobilize the war potential.

"Will the fiefdoms of other titles be deprived if the counties are comprehensive?" Ziwei said, "If this continues, won't it cause civil strife?"

"No, they still have fiefs, but they are smaller than before. There is one county for the duke, three counties for the marquis, one county for the earl, and three townships for the viscount. There are five hundred households for the baron."

"The fief is hereditary, the territory can be freely distributed, and the lords can enter the central government."

This is the result of Xiong Yang's thinking for many years.

The king must have enough power, but he cannot have unlimited power. Otherwise, a prodigal son will be born in later generations, and the state of Chu will be ruined immediately, and it will be impossible to save it.

These hereditary princes and the vassal states that joined them can restrict the power of the king to a certain extent, and make the king dare not act recklessly.

The demise of the Shang Kingdom was largely due to the excessive power of Emperor Xin, and the veterans of the Shang Dynasty, such as Bigan, Wei Ziqi, etc., could not restrain them.

Although from the king's point of view, these old things are really annoying.

But if they continue to check and balance with Emperor Xin, and the Shang country can mend and mend, at least a few generations can be passed on, so that there is not even a country now.

"In this way, the upper limit is set on the territory of the nobles, and the number of troops and officials is also limited. In this way, nothing will be lost."

Xiong Yang said to himself.

"Yes, at present, it is indeed relatively perfect. But how to obtain the title?" Ziwei asked again.

"Military merit."

"What if there are more and more titles in the future?"

Xiong Yang couldn't be bothered by Ziwei's question.

"It's very simple. The descendants will be hereditary, and the three generations will be downgraded. As for the land, they must also be given up. Give them a chance to distribute it to their children and grandchildren in advance, or let the country forcibly take it away."

As for those who voluntarily belong to the Jade Kingdom and the Big Bird Kingdom, or those who have made too much credit, it is not easy to inherit heredity.

A county has a population of more than 100 million people at most, and it can't cause any storms.

In order to prevent them from being domineering, it is also to check and balance them.Xiong Yang will also set up the post of Uncle Dazong to strictly investigate their crimes.

"You can do whatever you want. Just don't forget your original intention. This reform may be very difficult, and there may even be frequent rebellions. You must be mentally prepared."

Tang Ping did not express his opinion, and what future generations do is his business.

He only cares about Shinto.

The existence of the Chu State has its own meaning, and one day it should not exist, and it will not forcefully change its fate against the sky.

All in all, Tang Ping is not a nanny.

"I'm mentally prepared." Xiong Yang said with a smile.

As the king of Chu who has been in power for the longest time, Xiong Yang has never done any major events that affect the history of Chu.

Now it seems that it should be time to contribute.

Tang Ping waited for a few days, and Du Yu came over after finishing his affairs.

After instructing the kid again, Tang Ping awarded the last underground master plan.

Tang Ping opened the notice policy.

Name: Tang Ping.

Type: ghost, viviparous

Realm: First class master of the realm, middle stage of ghost immortality.

Lifespan: 500 years. (Age 300 years.)
Ming deed: Maohou tree deed.Mau Lease.Yuanshui Sikong deed.Three Thorns Underworld Altar Deed.Wash Jianshan deed.Xiangshui deed.Wushan deed.Yunmeng Zeqi.

Tell Dice: Du Yu, the underground lord of the Shu Kingdom, Xiong Yang, the underground lord of the Fire Kingdom, and Wu Geng, the underground lord of the Tang Kingdom.

There are three more places for underground masters.

Tang Ping can use the spells they will comprehend in the future, and more importantly, he will also increase his lifespan due to the practice of spells.

"In this way, as long as there are enough underground masters, I don't have to do anything, and my lifespan is equivalent to endless?"

Of course, longevity is hard to say.

A 1000-year lifespan may not necessarily be able to live to 1000 years.

Just as ordinary people can theoretically live for 100 years, due to various factors such as environment, injury, diet, etc., they often cannot live for that long, and the same is true for monks.

At least Tang Ping has never seen a theoretical lifespan of 1000 years. He lived to 99 years and was still intact for one day, and died immediately the next day. This is a process of continuous weakening.

Tang Ping shook his head and put away his thoughts.

Now that the matter is over, it's time to go to Lei Ze to have a look.

Now that Shun Dian has been completed, Tang Yao's tomb should be visible.

At the same time as everyone was entrusted, Zhou Guo also changed.

King Zhao of Zhou died and Ji Man ascended the throne.

In Luoyi, Ji Man is on the throne, and all the ministers shouted long live.

"Flat body."

Ji Man's face remained unchanged, as if he was used to it, the veteran nodded secretly, this king was more calm than the last one.

Ji Man held a yellow talisman in his hand and looked towards the west.

"Yin Lord, wait a little longer, Gu will definitely bring you back."

The light of the Xuanhuang Tianfu flashed away, and the light faintly formed two ancient characters - Di Jun.
