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

Chapter 313 Ji Chang Tuzi

When they heard that Jichang was coming back, all the civil and military officials in Xiqi, as well as Jichang's sons, were delighted.

Ji Chang was almost beheaded by King Zhou because of his outspoken advice. In the end, after many mediations, he was imprisoned for seven years.

During the past seven years, there was not a day when all the civil and military officials in Xiqi did not look forward to Ji Chang's early return.

Now, the seven-year period has expired, and Ji Chang has returned. How can they not be happy about this?

King Wen was riding a donkey and walking slowly when he suddenly heard the sound of a cannon and a group of people came out.

King Wen took a closer look and saw that the general Nangong Shi, the senior official San Yisheng, and the officials of Xiqi City were waiting for him by the roadside.

The second son, Ji Fa, trotted over, knelt down and said, "My father has been away from Xiqi for seven years. As a son, I am really guilty of not being able to share my father's worries."

"Please forgive me, father."

When Ji Chang saw the civil and military officials and his sons, he felt friendly and couldn't help but think of the days when he was imprisoned.

"I have been imprisoned for seven years, and I am already prepared to die of old age in Youli. I never thought that I would one day come back."

"It's great to see you all."

Having said this, King Wen couldn't help but burst into tears.

In these seven years, Ji Chang lost too many things. His eldest son, Boyikao, was cut into pieces by King Zhou. The seven years passed by in a hurry like running water.

Now that I can finally return to my motherland, how can I not burst into tears?

Senior doctor San Yisheng stood up and said, "Your Majesty, King Chengtang was also imprisoned in Xiatai back then. After returning to his own country, great things happened in the world."

"Now that my lord has returned to his own country, we must work hard to cultivate moral governance and let the people live a good life and wait for the opportunity."

"How do you know that the current Youli is not the Xia Tai of the past?"

Ji Chang heard this and knew what San Yisheng meant, which was to persuade him to work hard internally and wait for the opportunity to overthrow the Tang Dynasty.

Suddenly, Ji Chang was very unhappy and scolded San Yisheng: "Sir, what you said is setting me up for injustice!"

"Because I offended your Majesty, Your Majesty received your grace and did not kill me. Although I was imprisoned for seven years, I had to die if you wanted me to die."

"How can I have thoughts of rebellion just because His Majesty imprisoned me?"

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but bow their heads and blame themselves secretly.

Ji Fa called for a carriage, asked Ji Chang to change his clothes, got on the carriage, and returned to Xiqi City.

Along the way, people decorated the festival with lanterns and colorful decorations and played drums and music, as if celebrating the New Year.

King Wen saw that both civil and military officials and his ninety-eight sons were there, but the eldest son Boyikao was missing. Thinking of what happened to Boyikao and how he was forced to eat Boyikao's meat, he couldn't help but feel great pain in his heart. Fell off the horse.

Upon seeing this, all the civil and military officials hurriedly came over to check.

I saw King Wen moving his throat and spitting out a piece of meat.

The meat seemed to have intelligence. When it fell on the ground, it grew four legs and a pair of big ears like a rabbit, and ran towards the west.

King Wen vomited three times in a row and vomited out three rabbits.

The ministers helped King Wen up and entered Xiqi City to the main hall.

Ji Fa arranged for the imperial doctor to prepare medicine to regulate the body and gave it to King Wen.

Within a few days, King Wen recovered.

After he recovered, King Wen came to court and all the officials knelt down to worship him.

King Wen asked San Yisheng, the senior official, to go out. Hearing this, San Yisheng went out and knelt on the ground.

King Wen sighed and said: "I went to see the emperor. I have already calculated that I will be in poverty for seven years. Unexpectedly, my eldest son Boyikao was killed by King Zhou in order to save me." "Seven years have passed, your Majesty Grace, let me return to the country, thanks to King Wucheng of Zhenguo who gave me a bronze talisman to clear the customs and released me."

"Later, I encountered Yin Pobai and Lei Kai chasing me. Thanks to my adopted son Lei Zhenzi, I was able to escape."

When San Yisheng heard what King Wen said, he couldn't help but be a little confused.

The five checkpoints are all guarded by generals. How about King Wen, who got out of the checkpoint?

"Lei Zhenzi brought me here on his back. That child looks really scary now. Even I was scared to death when I saw it for the first time."

"It has a blue face, red hair, two wings, and a golden stick, like a wild beast."

"With just one stick, he knocked down the top of a mountain. When Yin Pobai and Lei Kai saw this, they didn't dare to chase us."

"Later, Lei Zhenzi carried me on his back and flew through the five levels to the border of Xiqi."

After hearing this, San Yisheng fell to his knees and said, "My lord, your virtue is admired by the world."

"You have returned to Xiqi, and you should wait for the opportunity."

"Half of the princes in the world have rebelled. King Zhou still doesn't know how to repent. He kills his wife, slaughters his sons, makes cannons and pots, and listens to Daji's slander. The world is probably going to end."

Before San Yisheng could finish speaking, someone shouted: "The king has returned to Xiqi, now is the time to avenge the young master!"

"Xiqi now has 400,000 elite soldiers and 60 generals. They can attack Chaoge City, kill Fei Zhong and You Hun, depose King Zhou, and then choose Mingjun."

Everyone looked and saw that the person speaking was General Nangong Shi.

When King Wen heard this, he was very unhappy: "I thought you were all loyal and righteous people. Why do you open your mouth or shut up? You are all rebelling?"

"Your Majesty is the head of the world. Even if something is wrong, the ministers can only give advice."

"Before I left, I already said that after being imprisoned for seven years, there was no risk for my life. Boyi tested himself for not knowing the importance of it. Although he was trying to save me, he gave up his life in vain."

"Don't mention the rebellion again."

After San Yisheng and Nangong Shi heard this, they could only retreat silently without saying anything more.

King Zhou thought for a while and then said: "I want to build a platform south of Xiqi City and name it Lingtai."

"However, I am worried that it will cost people and money. What should I do better?"

After hearing this, San Yisheng couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Your Majesty, you built this platform to eliminate disasters and for the sake of the people."

"It's not for your own entertainment. How can this be regarded as a waste of people and money?"

"Besides, my lord is kind and the people are grateful for your kindness. As long as the king gives the order, countless people will naturally be willing to do this for the king."

"If your Majesty still feels it's inappropriate, you can pay wages. This can be regarded as giving the people something to do."

After hearing this, King Wen thought for a moment and felt that what San Yisheng said made sense.

So he asked San Yisheng to write a notice, saying that King Wen Jichang wanted to build a platform for people to come voluntarily and pay wages.

If you don't want to, don't force it.

San Yisheng took the order. After writing the notice, he ordered the palace officials to post it at various city gates.

For a time, the people of Xiqi all ran to the city gate to read the notice.
