My Immortal Brother-in-law

Chapter 68 Brother Su is right

No one cared about Wen Zhong's fantasies. He was the youngest one present and also the one with the simplest mind among all the people present.

His mind is full of fighting and killing, and everyone expects him to lead the troops to victory, nothing more.

The key lies in the top, when Zixian heard Zhong Su's words, especially after feeling Zhong Su's attitude.

He pondered for a long time, then clasped his hands and bowed deeply to Zhong Su.

"My brother, Zhong Su, you are sincere in your words. This is exactly how it should be done."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zixian called the eunuch and asked him to pass a message to the side hall, indicating that the five people the king had requested had arrived and asked whether they wanted to meet the king in advance.

After the eunuch left, Zigan took a deep breath and then shook his head and said.

"Brother Wang, I... don't have any objections, but I really can't bear to leave my father."

"Brother, I understand. How can you not understand me? Because you are also reluctant to let go. It's just that we have different perspectives."

Zixian looked sad. He stood up and walked to Zigan, holding his arm and talking to him.

Tai Ding was not a perfect king, but he was very qualified both to his court officials and to his children.

As sons, could they really bear to see such a qualified father leave them at the age of 46?
While Zixian and Zigan were talking, Shang Rong and Wen Zhong also came to Zhong Su's side.

Not only the two of them, even the young Zishou unconsciously approached Zhong Su, knelt down behind Zhong Su, and listened to the conversation between Zhong Su and Shang Rong Wen Zhong.

"A Su, you were a little impulsive just now!"

Shang Rong was not polite and started scolding. While scolding, he gently patted Zhong Su's arm.

"The eldest prince and the second prince are fighting over a serious family matter. How can we bring up such a matter?

As court officials, we should focus on state affairs. How can we make final decisions about the king's family affairs? Don't do this again in the future!"

After he finished speaking, Shang Rong looked at Zhong Su seriously, waiting for Zhong Su's answer.

Facing Shang Rong's serious face, Zhong Su spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes~"

Zhong Su rolled his eyes, but couldn't help but smile, thinking to himself.

You are indeed loyal to the king, so every one of you will die at the hands of that...

Thinking of this, Zhong Su couldn't help but turn around and glance at Zishou.

That’s right, it was this kid Zishou who did it.

There are six people sitting in the palace now, besides the two eldest princes Shou Zixian, there is also himself, a barbarian.

The remaining three are more miserable than each other.

Zi Gan is so arrogant now, and one day his heart will be dug out.

Wen Zhong fought for the Shang Dynasty for decades, but eventually died in Juelong Ridge and was burned to death by the Nine Fire Dragon Pillar, which was the same fate as being burned to death by fire.

Shang Rong was the only one who survived, but he was imprisoned for nearly twenty years until Ji Fa took over Chaoge. He was released only after he refused Ji Fa's offer of an official position, and died in a foreign land.

Zhong Su didn’t know much about history. He was now very suspicious that his historical self might have died before them, so that there was no such person as him in the Conferred Gods…

In short, Zhong Su understood better than anyone else at this moment that obedience could not save the Shang Dynasty, because the collapse of a regime is one of the necessary ways for ideas and systems to progress.

As a member of the human race, Zhong Su does not actually need to worry about the human race itself. After all, even with the catastrophe of the Conferred Gods ahead, the human race is still the most intelligent creatures on earth, and no changes can be seen for the time being.

No more Journey to the West after Investiture of the Gods?
Is there no White Snake after Journey to the West?
You see, the Conferred God Tribulation is only the starting point of the tribulation, but it is far from the end.

Brother Kong Xuan had long ago told me that no matter the Dragon and Phoenix Great Disaster or the Lich and Wizard Great Disaster, their duration was calculated in units of Yuanhui, and the human race's disaster lasted even longer and was more dangerous than those two disasters. So, if the Shang Dynasty was destroyed, would the human race be finished?

Don’t you see that the human race appears to be more glorious, and more like a raging fire, boiling and bustling.

As he said, Zhong Su was still very open-minded. Among the relatives in the palace, except Wen Zhong and Zishou, no other one actually died at the hands of the Zhou people.

Even if they died tomorrow, they would become gods in heaven the day after tomorrow.

So what if Zi Gan died, so what if Wen Zhong died?
When the Queen Mother holds the Peach Banquet again in the future, everyone will still sit together and drink in a lively atmosphere.

But there is one thing that Zhong Su cares about no matter what, and that is his elder brother Kong Xuan!

Although there were some things that Kong Xuan had not yet told him, Zhong Su knew that Kong Xuan's human calamity seemed to be closely tied to the Battle of the Gods.

This is probably closely related to the saying that the black bird was sent by heaven to give birth to the Shang Dynasty.

Even judging from the name, the birth of the Shang Dynasty was probably done by the black swallows on Youdu Mountain, and has nothing to do with the peacock.

But who knows whether the incident of Xuanniao was the result of some secret moves made by the Tianqin clan during their interactions with the Xia and Shang dynasties?

Even if it was just for Kong Xuan, Zhong Su could not be a completely idle wanderer.

Looking at the remaining five people in the palace, they are the five most important people in Da Shang in the next fifty years.

He should do his best no matter what.

So, in response to Shang Rong's lesson, Zhong Su made a joke and then spoke seriously.

"Brother Shang Rong, did you hear what my younger brother said?

I have always had a destiny with immortality, and now I have become a man outside the world, and have attained immortality through enlightenment. Therefore, I could be like a wild cloud or a wild crane, embracing the bright moon in the sky, heading towards the North Sea and reaching Cangwu.

But how can I abandon you brothers?

Although I was not in Yindu for the past two years and was unaware of court affairs, it was precisely because of my absence that those in power were confused while those who were not involved in the affairs could see more clearly.

I don't know what the court is talking about nowadays. I only know where the truth itself should stand in a matter.

Brother Rong said that I am a court official, so I should take care of the affairs of the court and the country, and should not interfere in the king’s family affairs.

But Brother Rong, I’m sorry.

I resigned my official position two years ago, and even gave up my fiefdom. Now I only have Zhongshan, which is just a Taoist temple, not a fiefdom.

So you see, I have no national affairs at all, and today's incident is basically my family affair.

Just now, my eldest cousin and my second cousin got together to discuss how to be better to my uncle.

As his nephew, I think that since my uncle is still conscious and can make decisions, he should decide this matter himself.

For this, do I have to watch my two cousins ​​quarreling and even arguing for weeks?
That would be really embarrassing.

Wen Zhong, what do you think? "

"I listen to my elder brother!"

As soon as Zhong Su finished speaking, Wen Zhong quickly expressed his opinion.

He is not as blindly loyal as he will be in the future. Having just returned to the court from the immortal way, he still prefers to speak based on the size of his fist.

Zhong Su's Taoism progressed too fast. Wen Zhong now only wanted to know how Zhong Su did it. Although he liked being an official and leading troops in battles, he also wanted to become an immortal!

So no matter what Brother Su says, just make sure you answer correctly.

Otherwise, when I go back to ask Brother Su for advice, Brother Su will give me trouble.
