Prehistoric: Lord of the Nine Heavens at the Beginning, the Mythical Kunpeng

Chapter 277: The human race has been without saints for hundreds of years, and incense was poured out from the palace of Nuwa, King Zhou of Shang Dynasty

After Qi defeated the Youhu clan, he temporarily put down the rebellion in the country.

Keiya is full of confidence, thinking that he must be the next king to become a saint, and like his father and grandfather, he can enjoy endless life and powerful power.

Qi General named his country Xia and established its capital in Yangcheng.

Thanks to Qili's diligent governance, the country is stable and peaceful, and the people live a prosperous life.

However, after several decades, Qi found that the power of merit in his body grew very slowly, and seemed to have reached a bottleneck.

"My father achieved enlightenment and became a saint when he was less than forty years old. The previous Emperor Shun also achieved enlightenment and became a saint at about the same age. How come I am here, I am over fifty years old, and there is still no sign of enlightenment and sainthood. ?”

Qi's heart couldn't help but become anxious.

However, Qi could barely comfort himself. Maybe his merits were not enough and he needed to continue to accumulate them.

However, another ten years have passed, and the power of merit in Qi's body is still growing slowly. Looking at his body that is getting older day by day, Qi has to admit that he seems to have no chance of attaining enlightenment and becoming a saint.

Qi couldn't help but be furious, feeling that Humanity was looking down on him.

Why, every co-leader of the human race before him was able to successfully achieve enlightenment and become a saint.

When you get here, you have worked very hard, but you still can't realize your ideals and ambitions?

Qi became a little disheartened and began to neglect political affairs and indulge in pleasure.

Qi collected the grain grown by the people and brewed it into wine for himself and his ministers to drink. He also arranged music officials to make music for himself to enjoy.

Suddenly, the resentment towards Qi from both the government and the public became increasingly serious.

Finally, in the late period of Qi's reign, he was dissatisfied with Qi's excessive taxation and plundering the people's wealth and anointment. Qi's son Wu Guan launched a rebellion, hoping to overthrow Qi and establish himself as king.

Qi was furious and led his troops to capture Wuguan. In worry, he eventually died of illness.

After Qi's death, the Xia Dynasty continued to develop until the last king of the Xia Dynasty, Jie, succeeded to the throne, and the Xia Dynasty finally came to an end.

Jie, also known as Xia Jie, was the last king of the Xia Dynasty.

Xia Jie had a violent personality, was fond of drinking, and indulged in sexual activities.

When he was conquering the Youshi family, Xia Jie got a beautiful woman named Yuxi.

Xia Jie loved Yu Xi very much. He plundered the people's wealth and anointing to build the Qing Palace and Yaotai for Yu Xi.

Xia Jie took Yu Xi to drink and have fun in the huge palace, ignoring the government affairs.

When the ministers came to dissuade him, Xia Jie killed them and continued to enjoy himself.

Taishi Zhonggu was threatened by Xia Jie for admonishing Xia Jie, and finally fled Yangcheng and went to Shangtang.

Shang Tang took advantage of Xia Jie's internal and external troubles, raised troops to rebel, defeated Xia Jie, and the Xia Dynasty was destroyed.

In the entire Xia Dynasty, no saint appeared.

After Shang Tang defeated Xia Jie, he established the Shang Dynasty with its capital in Bo.

After Shang Tang replaced Xia Jie, he worked hard to govern and put Yi Yin and other virtuous ministers in high priority. The country's appearance took on a completely new look.

However, the development of history follows laws.

After Shang Tang destroyed the Xia Dynasty, the world was peaceful for a period of time, and the throne was passed on to King Zhou.

King Zhou was the last monarch of the Shang Dynasty.

King Zhou, whose real name was Di Xin, was talented, intelligent and eloquent.

In terms of force, he is also very powerful and can fight wild beasts with his bare hands.

However, because of his own strength, Di Xin suffered from a stubbornness and could not listen to other people's opinions.

During the reign of King Zhou, he continued to impose excessive taxes and abuse the people's fat and oil, which led to boiling public dissatisfaction.

King Zhou believed that he had superior force and could suppress all rebellious forces, so he did not take the people's resentment seriously and continued his journey of enjoyment.

However, King Zhou's perversity finally led to the demise of the Shang Dynasty. Everything starts from the seventh year of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty.

In February of this year, the seventy-two princes in Beihai rebelled. Taishi Wenzhong, the pillar of the Shang Dynasty, set out to conquer Beihai in accordance with King Zhou's order.

On this day, King Zhou went to court early and summoned his ministers of civil and military affairs.

When the commander walked out of King Zhou, he looked at the civil and military ministers present.

"If you have a memorial, come out and report it."

"If nothing happens, then retreat."

After listening to the commander's words, a man walked out from among the ministers on the right.

I saw this man kneeling on the ground with a tooth wat in his hand.

"My minister Shangrong is the prime minister of Dai Zui. He is in charge of the affairs of the state for your majesty. If something happens now, I dare not not report it to your majesty."

King Zhou had no intention of listening to the memorial. His thoughts had already gone to the beauties and wine in the harem, and he immediately waved his hand impatiently.

"If you have anything to say, please tell me immediately."

Seeing that King Zhou was rarely willing to listen, Shang Rong quickly reported it.

"Your Majesty, tomorrow is March 15th. This day is the birthday of Empress Nuwa. We should go to Nuwa Palace to pay incense."

After hearing this, King Zhou disapproved.

"What merit does this Nuwa Empress have that makes me come all the way to offer incense to her with my entourage?"

The tone was full of disdain and resentment.

Shang Rong had no choice but to continue persuading.

"Your Majesty, when Gonggong used his head to break Mount Buzhou, causing the sky to tilt to the northwest and the earth to collapse to the southeast, it was Empress Nuwa who refined the colorful stones and blocked the big hole in the sky."

"For the human race, this is truly a great merit."

"Moreover, the weather in Chaoge City is smooth now, and there are no disasters. It is only thanks to the blessing of Empress Nuwa that we have such a good life!"

"Your Majesty, as a member of the human race, should go and offer incense to Nuwa."

Although King Zhou was unwilling, he could not say anything against it and remained silent.

Seeing that King Zhou remained silent, other ministers also knelt down and begged for Shang Rong.

On the left, King Wucheng Huang Feihu came out and bowed his hands towards King Zhou.

"Your Majesty, although I am a military general, I also know that the merits of Nuwa Empress to the human race are truly higher than the sky and deeper than the sea."

"As the human emperor, Your Majesty should go to Nuwa Palace, burn incense and pray for blessings, and pray for the protection of Nuwa Empress, so that the country will be peaceful and the people can live and work in peace and contentment."

The other ministers also responded one after another.

"Your Majesty, King Wucheng and Lord Shang Rong are right."

"Dashang is in its current state thanks to the care of Empress Nuwa."

"On the fifteenth day of the third lunar month, all the kings of the Great Shang Dynasty would come to Nuwa Palace to drop incense and pray for the blessing of the Empress Nuwa."

King Zhou saw that all the ministers said this. Although he was very unhappy and did not take Nuwa seriously, he had to agree.

"Okay, then I will obey your instructions. Tomorrow morning, I will go to Nuwa Palace to drop incense."

However, what everyone did not know was that this incense drop became the trigger for the demise of the Shang Dynasty.
