When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 323: King Shang became seriously ill and disrupted the sacrifice ceremony
The Youxin clan swallowing up the Guzhu clan had a huge impact on the princes of the Shang clan in the south.

Zixun arranged for Lu's father to go to Mengshan to be the leader, which was equivalent to handing over his east gate to this little-known boy he brought from the north.

At first, everyone was quite jealous, why could a boy from the north suddenly become Zixun's charioteer.

But now, the Xin family defeated the many with less, defeated the Guzhu family, and instantly became a large family of 5 people. Everyone asked Xinqu's surname again.

After learning that Xin Qu's surname was Xin, he then turned his attention to his father Lu, who also had the same surname.

After further questioning Zi Yu and others who had followed Zi Xun back, they found out that Lu's father was Xin Qu's biological brother.

At this moment, everyone understood that the emotional Lu's father was a hostage with Xin's support for Zi Xun, or it was the product of negotiations between the two parties.

Father Lu followed his son Xun to the south to develop, and the Xin family provided support in the north.

In this way, Lu's father arrived at Mengshan. All kinds of people and ministers from the four princes' lineage, whom he had seen and never seen before, came to him one after another. They congratulated him, proposed marriage, and all stared at him. As fat as meat.

But Lu's father was not stupid. He knew that his status was now a piece of cake, so he argued that he needed to report it to Xin Qu. He could not get married until Xin Qu nodded. After all, he was not old enough and had to follow the rules of the Xin family. to handle.

Then everyone asked him his age, and then looked at his beard. They learned that he was only fifteen years old, and their eyes instantly turned greener.

Hurry up and arrange a meeting with your sister's daughter. No matter what method you use, you can do it. She is only fifteen and her mind is not mature enough to influence her.

But can Zi Xun make them happy?

He selected two slave-born girls from his clan and sent them to Lu's father as concubines.

Lu's father did not refuse, because Xin Qu told him that if you understand Zixun's reward, accept it, but if you don't understand, don't accept it. If the gift is a woman from the clan with the surname of Zi, then accept it, but you have to accept it. Remember to be prepared.

The so-called heart of defense is indispensable.

After taking in his concubine, Zixun gave him some bronze wine vessels and bronze tripods.

Father Lu divided the utensils into three parts, one part was kept, one part was sold to buy slaves, and the other part was melted and made into weapons to strengthen his tribe.

"This boy is definitely the calmest I have ever seen. He responded to everyone's fawning and negotiated with him, but he gave away part of the gifts he received. Most of them turned the materials into slaves and weapons, and then he went to Mengshan over there. Xin's system was implemented.

Although the slaves didn't dare to believe it, the slaves who followed from the north have now become members of the Lu clan. Father Lu rewarded these slaves to those who have made meritorious services in the past year. It has only been half a month, and a small village has already begun to take shape. scale. "

Ziyu came back and said solemnly, "Maybe we should send Jin there."

After hearing this, Zixun raised his eyebrows slightly: "There is no need to worry. He has a maximum population of one thousand, most of them are men. If there are not enough women, something will happen sooner or later. Go and inform the nearby tribes and ask them not to Sell ​​female slaves to the Lu family."

"You're thinking……"

"Well, let those little ministers sort out three hundred female slaves and set up a shack near Mengshan. They can do some business like the Xin family and use up the savings in this kid's hands. Make sure that the Lu family doesn't starve to death. As long as it’s not strong enough.”

Although Zixun gave Mengshan to Lu's father as a fiefdom, he would not lay the ground for himself prematurely. After all, although the situation on the Amishang side had changed due to the deeds of the Xin family, the mood of each family fluctuated greatly.

But the King of Shang was still hiding. His men were heading north. However, because the Huai River had not frozen this winter, the enemy was wandering on the Huai River, preparing to find an opportunity to make a sneak attack.

At this time, between the Huanghuai River and the Huaihe River, there were a bunch of Dongyi tribes living in the land of Surabaya. They had been beaten by the Shang Dynasty for more than 100 years. In order to obtain the local Dongyi tribe, Zixun and his family did not surrender to the Shang king, so they promised them As long as they stay safe, they will be given the title of Fang Bo in the future.

It means that if you don't cause trouble, I will take over and let you govern yourself and give you more rights.

For a Dongyi tribe that has been beaten for more than 100 years, this deal is obviously good.

Therefore, Zixun's eldest brother Zihe found several Dongyi tribes and said that as long as they captured Amang Shang, they would move their capital, so that they would feel relieved and would not attack them in the future.

But some people don’t want to move the capital, why don’t you help?
Therefore, Shang Wanggeng's army was actually blocked by the Dongyi tribe at the water's edge, forcing them to move forward or retreat.

But King Shang is still very strong, so he still needs to be absolutely careful.

Lu's father is now staying in Mengshan, which has more political meaning to reflect the perfect cooperation between Zi Xun and the Youxin family. Once Zi Xun is in trouble, the Youxin family may go south to help.

No one knows the true strength of the Xin clan now, but judging from the operation of destroying the Guzhu clan within this year, the combat power will definitely not be bad.Pressed by this hazy rock, the princes had to think about the impact of losing their side.

Zixun used a few actions and a few sounds to suppress the support of the local nobles for King Shang Geng.

Great stress relief.

Until, spring begins.

At the end of February in the third year of Qu, spring began in Shandong, and epidemics were prone to outbreaks during the change of season.

A serious plague began to appear in Am Shang City, which had been surrounded by the quilt for a year.

……

Am Shang Palace.

On the stage, King Shang raised his brows even more tiredly, and then couldn't help coughing violently.

In front of him, several shamans were dancing to the gods, babbling around the flames, and praying to the heaven and earth.

It took about half an hour.

After the tortoise shell was burned, he brought it up: "My son, Nan'an! Good luck!"

"Ahem, cough, cough -" King Shang coughed loudly when he saw the tortoise shell, which scared the slaves and quickly came forward to serve him, "Zibu!"

Several wizards lay on the ground, trembling: "Your Majesty, this is already the eighth time."

"Come again! Come again! What do you want?! What kind of sacrifice does the emperor want before he is willing to bless me!"

The King of Shang even roared angrily. He was infected with the plague. People inside and outside the city were in panic. I don’t know how many forces were ready to move. If he couldn’t get the emperor’s blessing through divination, he would be doomed!
His everything!
"Your Majesty..."

"If you can't divine it! I'll kill you as sacrifices!" King Shang roared even more angrily, struggled to stand up, and suddenly his feet stumbled, and he fell to the ground in such a state of embarrassment.

When the shamans saw this scene, their hearts condensed and they immediately made a decision.

The ninth sacrifice began.

Thousands of slaves were brought up, as well as several nobles. This was what Wu Jin said. As long as these sacrifices were given, the emperor would definitely bless him.

King Shang stood in front of the stage and looked at the people below who were happy, some were sad and fearful, and there were countless people who were numb.

"Sacrifice, book twelve, cut three hundred, six hundred...I asked Emperor Dayi and said (Tongyue), bless me!"

King Shang's eyes were bloodshot and he waved his hand without hesitation. Then more than 1000 soldiers below took action. They used their prescribed blood sacrifice method to brutally execute these people.

Then, with their blood, they slowly came to the stage, holding their large armor, and grilled it on the fire.

Then, as the fire roasting ended, this time King Shang came over in person and looked at the lines between the oracle bones. At the end, his hands were twitching and he was trembling: "No! No! Why is this happening! Why is the emperor so big?" Even B can’t help me! I’m your descendant! I’m the king!”

boom!
King Shang fell to the ground. The witches came forward and surrounded him. Soon a witch came down and said: "The king said that if the emperor does not bless him, he should move south, so he is willing to negotiate peace with Zihe. As long as Zihe is willing to guarantee For the safety of the king, he is willing to abdicate the throne and make way for others.”

After saying that, everyone below looked at each other in confusion, but a hint of ridicule flashed across the lips of the presiding wizards, and they stroked a few pieces of jade with their fingers. If you look carefully, you can see that these are jade made of Xin's carving knife.

In other words, these witches were bribed, and they plotted to usurp power while King Shang became seriously ill.

The subordinates of King Shang below did not object, because the plague was spreading and everyone was afraid of death. As long as Zihe promised to ensure their safety, it was not impossible to leave here.

More importantly, the nobles support and can no longer be surrounded. Today, King Shang has begun to kill the nobles for sacrifice. If he delays, will he kill them too?
It’s all about living. Although it’s honorable to sacrifice to the emperor, everyone still wants to live for a few more years!

Therefore, under the joint efforts of many parties, on the fourth day of March in the third year of Qu, Zihe entered the city.
