A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 621: Jue’s persistence in worshiping the emperor, I am the way of heaven
The Wang clan did not strive for world hegemony, and the three thousand Yulin Guards only controlled Huai'an County. The power of the Wang family also changed from dark to bright, and the entire Huai'an County was controlled by the Wang family from top to bottom.

After the Wang family took control of Huai'an County, they immediately began to restore the people's livelihood in Huai'an County. At the same time, porridge sheds were opened in various places, and manpower was arranged to measure the land, which was then used to house the people.

If it were to manage a country, Wang's manpower would only be a drop in the bucket, but if it were used to manage a county, it would be more than enough.

After more than ten years of war, and Yang Guang recruiting a large number of civilian soldiers, the population of Huai'an County fled and died in large numbers, and now it is almost less than half of what it was during the period of Emperor Wen.

Even some nobles suffered heavy losses. After all, some peasants in Huai'an County revolted and broke into the surrounding counties to plunder.

Wang Xuanning led three thousand Yulin guards to clear out the bandits in Huai'an County. At the same time, he recruited refugees and rebels to resume production.

These rebels were not just ordinary people, but also many bandits. Naturally, the Wang family would not let these people go. In less than a month, the entire Huai'an County took on a new look and began to resume production.

At the same time, the Wang family was also preparing for the next new dynasty. After beheading Yang Guang, and killing an emperor in such a cruel and humiliating way, the next new dynasty would definitely be afraid of the Wang family.

But the Wang family had to do this. Yang Guang's wanton behavior had severely damaged the Zhuxia civilization. If the Wang family didn't do something, the future Zhuxia princes would think that as long as they became the emperor, they could do whatever they wanted.

Wang's abolition of the Mandate of Heaven this time is a warning to all future princes. This action is to tell them that even if they become emperor, Zhu Xiazi cannot act recklessly.

At that time, even if Wang doesn't do anything openly, there will definitely be some small moves secretly. Wang's chances of gaining a high position will also become slim.

Instead, he wants to focus on himself and integrate the way of heaven. When the time comes, he will be Zijue and also the way of heaven. He has his own joy.

Originally, it was the next dynasty that sealed the coffin of a dynasty, and the next dynasty would also use this matter to emphasize its legitimacy.

But in this way, Wang's strength cannot be hidden. Those emperors will be on pins and needles regarding Wang's strength.

What Wang is doing now is to flex his muscles to the princes of the world and let them understand that the King Haotian Wen mentioned by Wang really exists.

But in this case, what's the meaning of that person's life? Or even, the person who has given up his own feelings and his own persistence, is he still himself?
Being ruthless and desireless, the world is open to all, this is not what he wants. He has special feelings for the land of Zhuxia, so Zijue is unwilling to give up his feelings and persistence and become a puppet controlled by heaven.

Naturally, the Wang family did not want this to happen, so the Wang family planned to hold a large-scale ceremony to worship the heavens, and at the same time, they would seal the coffin of the tyrant Yang Guang and the Sui Dynasty.

Zijue has been integrating the way of heaven, which is merciless and desireless, and will only develop according to the destiny that has been determined long ago. If Zijue was willing to give up his feelings and his own persistence, he would have been able to merge with the way of heaven.

The Wang family just wants to tell those people that even if you become an emperor and the lord of the summers, the Wang family's ancestors are still watching you in the sky.

In this way, the difficulty of integrating the way of heaven has increased countless times, and Zijue can only integrate it bit by bit.

Although Zijue was busy integrating the way of heaven, many times the Wang family's family sacrifices were not restored, but if it was a large-scale sacrifice like offering sacrifices to heaven, they would definitely be restored.

When Wang decided to offer sacrifices to heaven, he naturally wanted to invite all the princes from all over the world to come and watch the ceremony, and the place he chose to offer sacrifices to heaven was also particular. The best place was naturally Mount Tai, but of course Mount Song was also acceptable. As the head of the Five Mountains and the first place to worship heaven and enshrine Zen, Mount Tai naturally has great advantages, but Mount Tai is a bit far away from other princes, and Mount Tai is in the hands of Dou Jiande. Other princes may not be willing to come.

Songshan is better. It is located in the Central Plains and is also one of the Five Mountains. Zhongyue Songshan is also very competitive.

However, after some debate within the family, they finally decided to hold a ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven on Mount Tai. Of course, for some princes who could not come in person, Wang also agreed to send envoys.

After making the decision, Wang Xuanze immediately sent envoys to contact all the princes in the world. Since the Wang family killed Yang Guang, the general trend of the world has been constantly changing.

The first problem to arise was in Wagang Village. After Wang Xuanze left Wagang Village last time, not long after, a heavyweight came to join him.

Li Mi, a nobleman of the Sui Dynasty.

As Yang Xuangan's mastermind, Li Mi tried hard to persuade Yang Xuangan, but Yang Xuangan never listened. After seeing this situation, Li Mi quickly abandoned Yang Xuangan and went to Wagang Village.

After a severe beating, Li Mi was not ready to help others because he no longer wanted to feel that powerless feeling.

Wagangzhai welcomed Li Mi's surrender. After all, this was the first high-ranking nobleman of the Sui Dynasty to surrender. Zhai Rang even directly appointed Li Mi as the second-in-command of Wagang Village in order to achieve the effect of buying a horse bone for a thousand gold.

This appointment also caused the subsequent division of Wagangzhai.

Relying on his background, his courteous and virtuous corporal, and his good strategy, Li Mi quickly gathered a hilltop in Wagang Village and gradually threatened Zhai Rang's position.

Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin saw that Li Mi had not been subordinate to others for a long time, so they suggested to Zhai Rang to strike first. However, Zhai Rang was unwilling to do so, and even said that he would give up his position to Li Mi and respect him as the master.

But Li Mi also wanted to lose face, so he naturally shied away. However, this situation could not last long, and soon Li Mi took advantage of a banquet to kill Zhai Rang and establish himself as Duke of Wei.

Along with the great changes in Wagangzhai, changes also occurred in other places. Among them, Wang Shichong of Luoyang forced Yang Tong to abdicate and proclaimed himself King Zheng.

Immediately after Li Yuan occupied Chang'an for a period of time, Guanzhong became stable and forced Yang You to abdicate, and then directly proclaimed himself emperor and founded the country, which was named Tang.

Yu Wenhuaji of Jiangzhou led the remaining Xiaoguo army and wanted to return to Guanzhong, but was blocked by Li Mi's army.

Li Mi was killed with the help of Yang Guang and had already recruited a lot of Xiaoguo troops. Now he wants to annex the remaining Xiaoguo troops. If he succeeds, he will have 100,000 Xiaoguo troops, plus the Wagang in his hand. Army, he is the number one prince in the world.

It's just that he forgot one extremely important thing in the art of war, that is, don't stop when you return to the army. The Xiaoguo Army followed Yang Guang to Liaodong, Yanmen, and Jiangzhou for several years, but now he was homesick and wanted to return to Guanzhong.

Li Mi sent troops to stop them. How could those Guanzhong Xiaoguo troops who were eager to go home surrender? The result would naturally be a big battle.
