The Legend of God

Chapter 14

Poetry:

At this time, Yanshan is surrounded by auspicious smoke, and thunder rises in the southeast to help Xiaofeng.Butterfly dream in the sound of thunder, dust in the electric light and shadow.

One-third has two Kaiqi industry, and one hundred sons are named Quanying Haofeng.In the year of Bu Shibu, the dragon and tiger generals, Xing Zhou destroyed Zhou and built extraordinary achievements.

It is said that when all the officials saw Shang Rong being killed, King Zhou was furious, and none of them could speak.The doctor Zhao Qi saw Shang Ronghao's first death and ordered him to throw the body away, he felt very upset, raised his eyebrows, couldn't bear it, and yelled out: "My minister Zhao Qi dare not betray the late king, today's palace In the past, it was enough to serve the country with death, and it was enough to travel underground with the Prime Minister of Shang." Pointing to King Zhou, he said: "There is no way to fool the king! If the prime minister is rejected, the loyal and good ones will be rejected; the princes will be disappointed; Daji will be favored, the slander will be trusted, and the country will be destroyed. I will count it. The accumulated evils of the faint king: the empress died in vain, and she made herself the main palace; she chased and killed the prince, leaving no trace, the country has no roots, and soon the ruins. Faint king! Faint king! You are unrighteous in killing your wife, unkind in killing your son, and unruly in governing the country , don’t kill ministers with virtue, don’t know how to be close to evil, don’t be greedy for wine and sex, don’t be wise and corrupt the three principles, don’t be ashamed to defeat the five constants. Faint king, benevolent and moral, have no words, be a king in vain, empty Zen emperor seat, humiliation becomes soup I am ashamed to die!" King Zhou was furious, he gnashed his teeth and beat the case, and cursed: "You man, how dare you insult the king and scold the lord!" The decree: "Shoot this traitor quickly." Zhao Qi said: "I will not regret my death. Don't stay loyal and filial to the world, how can you be like a foolish king who ruins the country and stigmatizes your reputation for thousands of years!" King Zhou was so angry that he burned the cannons on both sides, stripped off Zhao Qi's official crown, wrapped his body in iron chains, and only burned him. The tendons are broken and the skin is scorched, and the ossification is smoked.Nine halls are full of smoke and people smell, and all the officials have wounds on their jaws.When King Zhou saw this cruel punishment, his heart was satisfied, and he sent an order to drive back.There are poems to prove it.The poem says:
The firearms were set up in the court, and the fire power took advantage of the situation to heat up.When the limbs are not hugged, a torch will destroy the strong first.

The bones and tendons must be transformed into blood in an instant.You must know that the mountains and rivers of Zhou will disappear with the ashes.

The Jiujiandian also fired shots at the ministers, and all the officials were trembling with fear.No table.

Let's say that when King Zhou returned to the palace, Daji received him, and King Zhou joined hands to support each other and sat on the dragon pier.The king said: "Today, Shang Rong was bumped to death and Zhao Qi was burned. I was insulted by these two men. All officials are not afraid of such a cruel punishment. After all, I still want to think of a strange way to cure this stubborn person." Daji said to him. : "Let the concubine think again." The king said: "Beauty, the position has been decided, and the officials in the court dare not dissuade you. I worry about Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu. Knowing that his daughter died tragically, he led the army to rebel, seduce the princes, and kill him." To Chaoge. I heard that Zhong Beihai has not returned, so what can I do?" Daji said: "The concubine is a female stream, and I have heard and seen very little. I hope that your majesty will urgently summon Fei Zhong to discuss it. There must be a plan to secure the world." The king said: "Yu What my wife said is justified." That is to say, the decree was delivered: "Xuan Fei Zhong." After a while, Fei Zhong went to the palace to see him.King Zhou said: "Empress Jiang is dead. I am afraid that Jiang Huan Chu will hear about it and lead the army to rebel, and the East may not be peaceful. What can you do to make peace?" Fei Zhong knelt down and said: "Empress Jiang is dead, and His Highness has lost , Shang Rong was killed, Zhao Qi was fired, and both civil and military had complaints. I was afraid that the news would spread, and Jiang Huan and Chu soldiers would come, and there would be disasters. Your Majesty, why don't you secretly spread the four orders and lure the four princes into the capital? Order to cut the weeds and root out the roots. The princes of the eight hundred towns, knowing that the four ministers are dead, are like a dragon that has lost its head, and a tiger without teeth. The geniuses of the world, if they have the policy of peace, they will live up to the recommendation of Empress Su." Fei Zhong withdrew from the palace, and King Zhou secretly issued four edicts, ordering four officials to go around, ordering Jiang Huanchu, E Chongyu , Jichang, and Chonghouhu are not in question.

Let's talk about that official coming to Xiqi.Along the way, the wind and dust are rolling, the grass is desolate, passing through the state, passing the government, inns and villages, it is really like ascending Zimo at the morning, and stepping on the world of mortals at night.Not a day later, after crossing Xiqi Mountain for seventy miles, he entered the capital city.The task is to watch the scenery in the city, the people are rich and the things are rich, the market is leisurely, doing business, doing business, being kind and pleasant, passing by pedestrians, and being humble.The mission sighed and said: "I heard that Ji Borende, the scenery is really peaceful, it is really the world of Tang and Yu." The mission went to Jintingguan post and got off the horse.The next day, Xibo Hou Jichang set up a hall, gathering civil and military personnel to talk about the way of governing the country and stabilizing the people.Duanmen official reported: "Under the decree." Ji Bo led the civil and military to accept the emperor's decree.When the mission arrives at the hall, kneel down and listen to the reading.The imperial edict said:
The North Sea is rampant, violent and stubborn, the people are living in misery, and the civil and military are at a loss. I am very worried.There is no assistant prime minister inside, and there is no coordination outside. The four major princes of Er specially ordered to come to the court to assist in the government of the country and put an end to disasters.When the edict arrived, Erxibo Hou Jichang went to the capital quickly to comfort me.Don't be late, let me wait.On the day when the success is achieved, I will be awarded the title of noble, open up the thatched land, and I would like to come here to order, I will not break my promise.You Qiqin Zai.special edict.

After Ji Chang paid homage to the imperial edict, he hosted a feast for the angels.The next day, prepare the gold and silver watch gifts and send them to the angels.Ji Chang said: "Master Angel, only when the court songs are assembled, Ji Chang can clean up." The mission officer thanked Bi Jichang and left without asking.

And Yan Jichang sat in the Duanming Hall, and said to San Yisheng, the senior doctor, "I will go here alone. I will entrust the doctor with internal affairs, and Nangong Shi and Xin Jia with the external affairs." "Yesterday, the angel called me, and I started a lesson. It will be a disaster for seven years, even if it doesn't hurt you. You must abide by the law in Xiqi, and you must not change the state affairs. Follow the old rules, and the brothers will live in harmony." , the monarch and his ministers live in peace. Don’t let your own selfishness be yours, and you will have a good life. Anyone who can do something, but old-fashioned is a plan. The people of Xiqi, those who have no wives are given money to marry, and those who are poor and unmarried are given gold and silver. Married, lonely and helpless, the month's rations will not be short. After seven years of loneliness, the disaster will naturally return. You must not send someone to pick me up. This is the most important instruction, and it must not be forgotten." Boyi Kao Hearing his father's words, he knelt down and said: "Since the father and king are in trouble for seven years, the son will go away. The father and king should not go in person." Ji Chang said: "My son, don't a gentleman know how to avoid it when he sees difficulties? But the number of days is over. Don't run away, you're just too busy. If you concentrate on keeping your father's orders, that's great filial piety, so why bother." Ji Chang retreated to the harem to see his mother, Tai Jiang.After the salute, Tai Jiang said: "My son, I will play the innate number with you for my mother. You will have seven years of disaster." You can't die if you commit crimes. Just now, both internal and external affairs are entrusted to civil and military affairs, and the state affairs are under the examination of Zi Boyi. The child has come to the palace to bid farewell to his mother. Tomorrow, he wants to go to court and sing." Tai Jiang said: "My son is going, everything will happen Consider it carefully, and don't make mistakes." Ji Chang said, "Just like my mother taught me." After leaving the inner palace, I said goodbye to the Yuan concubine Taiji.Xibohou had four breasts, 24 concubines, and 99 sons.Chang said Bo Yi Kao, the second son Ji Fa, that is, the son of the king of Wu.Zhou had three mothers, Naichang's mother Tai Jiang, Chang's Yuan concubine Taiji, and Wu Wang's Yuan concubine Tai pregnant, so Zhou had three mothers, all of whom were great virtuous and holy mothers.Ji Chang went to Chaoge the next day and hurried away, leading fifty servants.I saw San Yisheng, a civil and military senior official of the He Dynasty, Nan Gongshi, Mao Gongsui, Zhou Gongdan, Zhao Gongshi, Bi Gong, Rong Gong, Xin Jia, Xin Mian, Tai Dian, Hong Yao, four virtuous and eight handsome men, and the eldest son Bo Yi. Kao and Jifa led all the soldiers and civilians to bid farewell to the ten-mile long pavilion, where they set up the Nine Dragons banquet, and all the officials and the princes held the lamps.Ji Chang said: "I'm farewell to you today. After seven years, the monarchs and ministers will meet again." Ji Chang patted the town with his hands and said, "My son, as long as your brothers are in harmony, you have nothing to worry about alone." After drinking a few cups , Ji Chang got on the horse, father and son, monarch and minister, parted with tears.

Xibo went on the road that day, walked more than [-] li, passed Qishan Mountain, and traveled all the way, staying at night and walking at dawn, which was not a day.On that day when we arrived at Mount Yan, Uncle Ji said on the horse, "Look left and right. There are cottages and lush forests in front of you to shelter from the rain. There must be heavy rain within a short distance." The followers were discussing: "The sky is bright and clear, and the clouds are all over the place." No, the red sun is shining, where does the rain come from?" Before he finished speaking, he saw clouds and mist rising together, Ji Chang rode his horse and called, "Go quickly into the lush forest to avoid the rain." Then everyone entered the forest.But see good rain:
The cloud grows in the southeast, and the fog rises in the northwest.In an instant, the wind is violent and cold, and in an instant, the rain can invade people.At the beginning, there was a slight drizzle; after the second, it was dense.Nourishing grains and nourishing crops, exquisite jade hangs obliquely on the flower branches; the field is strong and fertile, and pearls are dripping from the tip of the grass.Thousands of waves fall from the high mountains, and white water is added to the low valleys.Duck tops are watered with grass everywhere, and Buddha heads are washed with stones all over the mountain.Bring down the Jinjiang River and merge the seas, good rain!Bring down the Tianhe and pour it down.

It is said that Ji Chang was sheltering from the rain in the Maolin, and saw the torrential rain, which seemed to be pouring down for half an hour.Ji Bo ordered everyone: "Be careful, thunder is coming." Follow the crowd and everyone said: "Master, pay attention, thunder is coming, be more careful." Huayue Mountain.Everyone was shocked and crowded together.After a while, the clouds cleared and the rain gathered, and the sun was clear, and everyone came out of the woods.Ji Chang was drenched in rain on the horse, and sighed, "The thunder passed by, and the general star appeared. Those on the left and right, come with me to find the general star." Everyone sneered, "Who is the general star? Where can we find it?" If you dare to disobey your orders, you have to look around.While everyone was searching, they could only hear the sound of a child crying beside the ancient tomb, and they all looked forward.If it is a child.The crowd said: "Thinking of this ancient tomb, how can there be such a child? It must be strange. I think it is Jiang Xing. How about taking this baby and presenting it to Qiantui?" They really brought the child and handed it to Uncle Ji.Ji Bo saw, what a boy!The face is like a peach stamen, and the eyes are radiant.Ji Chang was overjoyed and thought: "I should have a hundred sons, but now I have 99 sons. The number of talented people, I deserve this, and it is a sign of a hundred sons. It's really a beautiful thing." Order around: "Send this son to Qiancun to raise him , Waiting for Gu Qizai to come back and take him to Xiqi. After a long time, this son will be very lucky." Ji Chang rode forward on his horse, climbed mountains, crossed ridges, and passed Yanshan Mountain. He was only walking ten or twenty li when he saw a group of people, Fengzi is delicate and handsome, with a strange appearance, unusual Taoist flavor, and a wide robe with big sleeves.The Taoist had the appearance of being born in the world, and beat the head of the horse in front of the horse, saying: "Your Majesty, the poor Taoist is the head of the head." Ji Chang got off the horse in a hurry, and said politely: "I'm not talented, Ji Chang, I'm rude. Please ask why you are here? That famous mountain? What kind of cave? I have seen you now, so what is your instruction? I would like to hear more about it.” The Taoist replied: “The poor Taoist is Yun Zhongzi, a Qi refiner in Yuzhu Cave in Zhongnan Mountain. , The general star appeared, and the poor Taoist traveled thousands of miles to look for the general star. Now seeing the honorable face, the poor Taoist is very lucky." After hearing this, Ji Chang ordered his left and right to hug this child and give it to the Taoist.The Taoist took it, looked at it and said, "Jiang Xing, you just appeared at this time." Yun Zhongzi said, "Xianhou, the poor Taoist will take this son to Zhongnan today as his apprentice. When the virtuous Marquis returns to Japan, he will serve you with the virtuous." Hou, I don't know what the virtuous Marquis thinks?" Chang said: "The Taoist may as well take it away, but we will meet after a long time, what is the name of the certificate?" The Taoist said: "Lei Guo appeared, and the meeting will be "Lei Zhen" as a symbol It's a name." Chang said: "I'm not ready to learn, please." Yun Zhongzi carried Lei Zhenzi back to Zhongnan.If they want to meet again, Ji Bo will be in trouble seven years later, and Lei Zhenzi will go down the mountain to meet again.This is something to say later, it is not an issue.

Let's say that Ji Chang has no words all the way, enters Wuguan, crosses Mianchi County, crosses the Yellow River, crosses Mengjin, enters Chaoge, and arrives at Jintingguan Station.In the posthouse, there were three princes first, Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu, Nanbohou Echongyu, Beibohou Chonghouhu.The three princes were drinking in the post, and came from left and right to report: "Ji Bohou has arrived." The three greeted, Jiang Huanchu said: "Why is Ji Xianbo late?" After the four salutes are over, add another seat and pass the cup to drink.After several visits to the wine shop, Ji Chang asked: "Three virtuous uncles, what's the matter with the emperor, and I urgently ordered my four officials to come here. I think there is something important? In the capital, there is Huang Feihu, king of Wucheng, who is a pillar of the emperor. He governs the country well. Bigan can harmonize the Dingnai, and there is a law for governing the people. What are you going to do, tell me to wait?" The four of them were half drunk, and saw E Chongyu, the Marquis of Nanbo. You Hun, beetle bewitches Sheng Cong, spreads construction, labors the people and wastes money, who is willing to serve the country and the people, only knows to bribe himself.At this time, there was too much wine, and I happened to think of the past.E Chongyu said: "Jiang Xianbo and Ji Xianbo, don't you have a word to honor Chongxian Bo." Chonghouhu smiled and replied, "Is there anything for the Xianbo to teach? If you don't dare not accept orders." E Chongyu said: "The leaders of the world's princes are the four of us. I heard that Uncle Xian has done a lot of evil. He has no ministers' dignity. He stripped the people for his own benefit. He only dealt with Fei Zhong and You Hun, and supervised the construction of the Zhaixing Tower. I heard that you took two out of three. , those who have money spend time at home, and those who have no money do hard work. You are selfish and love money, and you kill all people. You commit suicide. The fox pretends to be a tiger, acts like a jackal, and has a heart like a hungry tiger. The soldiers and people in Chaoge City dare not face it Thousands of families gnash their teeth, and ten thousand households are wronged. Xian Bo, as the saying goes, "Misfortune comes from evil, and good fortune comes from virtue." From now on, you must not do anything." Then Chonghouhu said that his eyes were full of smoke, and his mouth was full of smoke. The fire came out and he shouted: "E Chongyu, you speak arrogantly! I am the same minister as you, why do you abuse me like this before the banquet? How can you dare to slander me with false accusations in person!" The judge, There are people in Chonghou Huyi Fei Zhong and You Hun who want to compete with E Chongyu at the banquet.I saw Ji Chang pointing at Hou Hu and saying: "Chongxian Bo, E Xianbo's advice to you is all good words, why are you so violent? Don't tell me I'm waiting here, so you can destroy E Xianbo! If E Xianbo said this Words are nothing more than the way of loving the public. If there is such a thing, you will correct your mistakes; It's strange to remonstrate directly, and it's indecent." Chonghou Hu listened to Ji Chang's words, he didn't dare to make a move, he didn't guard against being hit face to face by E Chongyu with a pot of wine, and he hit Hou Hu in the face.Hou Hu leaned forward to arrest E Chongyu, but was pushed aside by Jiang Huanchu, who shouted: "Ministers fighting, how can there be any dignity! Uncle Chongxian, it's late at night, go to sleep." Hou Hu swallowed his anger and went to sleep.There is a poem that says:

The museum's biography is short and long, and the design of the treacherous ministers harms the loyal and good.Since then, swordsmen have started one after another, sowing the chaos of Chaoge Wan's surname.

It is also said that the three princes had not met for a long time, so they reorganized a table and had a drink together.At the time of the second drum, a postman saw three ministers drinking, nodded and sighed: "Thousands! Thousands! You pass the cup tonight and drink together. I'm afraid that tomorrow the city will be dyed with red." The night was quieter, and people spoke loudly. Yes understand.When Ji Changming heard such words, he asked, "Who is talking? Call here." The wine waiters on the left and right were all on both sides, so they had to come over and kneel down together.Ji Bo asked, "Who said just now, 'Tonight, we will have a cup of fun and drink together, and tomorrow we will dye the market with bright red'?" The crowd replied, "I never said that." Jiang and E Erhou didn't hear it either.Ji Bo said: "Every sentence is clear, why didn't you say it? Call the general to come in, and kill him when he takes it out." The postman heard that whoever is willing to replace life with death has to be squeezed out.All the people shouted together: "Master Qiansui, don't do small things, Yao Fu said it himself." After Ji Bo heard this, he called: "Shut up." Everyone got up.Call Yao Fu and ask, "Why do you say this? Tell the truth and you will be rewarded, but false lies will be guilty." Yao Fu said, "Right and wrong are just for the sake of opening your mouth. Lord Qiantui, this matter is a confidential matter, and the small one is a mission officer." The people of the family, because Empress Jiang died in the West Palace, and the second highness was blown away, the emperor believed in Empress Daji, and secretly sent an imperial decree, announcing that the four ministers will be beheaded tomorrow morning, without distinction. The villain can't bear it tonight. Say that." After Jiang Huanchu heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Why did Jiang Niangniang die in the West Palace?" Yao Fu's words had already been exposed, and he couldn't hold back his words, so he had to start from the beginning: "King Zhou has no way, kills his son and wife, and makes Daji his own. Zhenggong." He said it carefully.Empress Jiang is the daughter of Huan Chu, how can she not feel pain when she dies?The body was broken like a knife, meaning to be fried, and with a loud cry, he fell to the ground.Ji Chang ordered someone to help him up, and Huan Chu wept bitterly, saying, "My son gouged out his eyes and burned his hands, from ancient times to the present, so this has happened!" Ji Bo persuaded, "The queen has been wronged, and your highness has disappeared. People who die cannot be resurrected. Tonight We will each have a memorial, and when we see you tomorrow morning, if you offend Yan Lijian, you must distinguish the truth and correct human relations." Huan Chu cried and said: "The Jiang family is unlucky, how dare you bother all the sages to speak up. I, Jiang Huanchu, face it alone. Your Majesty, justify your injustice." Ji Chang said: "The virtuous uncle has another book, and the three of us each have our own chapter." Jiang Huanchu had a thousand lines of tears, and he revised the book overnight without writing a title.

In addition, the treacherous minister Fei Zhong knew that the four ministers lived in the post house, so the treacherous minister Fei Zhong secretly went to the side hall to meet King Zhou. "Ascension to the palace tomorrow, the four lords must have a memorial, and the words are to stop the remonstrance. Your Majesty, but the four lords will go to the book tomorrow, and your majesty does not need to read the book, and it will not be distinguished. It is the best policy to pass the decree and take out the head of the Meridian Gate owl." Wang Wang Said: "Your words are very kind." Fei Zhong resigned from the king and returned to his house.The night scene is over.The next day, in the early morning, he ascended to the palace and gathered two classes of civil and military personnel.The Meridian Gate official drove: "The orders of the princes of the four towns." The king said: "Xuanlai." I saw the four princes listening to the edict, and then went to the front of the hall.Jiang Huanchu, Marquis of Dongbo, held the Yahu high, entered the ceremony and proclaimed his ministers.Jiang Huanchu presented this chapter, and Yabigan took over.King Zhou said: "Jiang Huanchu, do you know the crime?" Huanchu played and said: "I am in Donglu, solemnly guarding the front court, obeying the law, and committing suicide. What crime can I know? Your Majesty listens to slander and favor, and does not Thinking of the first marriage, adding painful punishments, punishing the son and destroying the lun, severing the heirs, believing in the concubine's conspiracy and jealousy, listening to the sycophants' loyalty. The minister has received the great kindness of the former king, and now he sees the sky. He does not avoid the ax and the axe. He speaks outright and pretends to be a real king. If you lose to a humble minister, you will never lose to your king. Seeing pity and pleading for justice, the living are lucky, and the dead are lucky." King Zhou was furious and scolded: "The old traitor ordered his daughter to kill the king, and he had the heart to usurp the throne. The crime is as high as a mountain. Now, I'm going to make excuses and argue, hoping to slip through the net." Order the warrior: "Take out the Meridian Gate, smash his corpse to rectify the law of the country." The warrior with golden melon stripped Jiang Huanchu's official crown and tied him with a rope.Jiang Huanchu scolded endlessly, could not help but push out the Meridian Gate.I saw Xibohou Jichang, Nanbohou Echongyu, and Beibohou Chonghou Hu came out to proclaim their ministers: "Your Majesty, ministers and others all have their own chapters. Jiang Huanchu is sincere for the country, and has no reason to seek usurpation. Please check carefully." King Zhou felt at ease. To kill the princes of the four towns, put Ji Chang and other chapters on the dragon case.I don't know how the lives of Ji Chang and others will be. Let's listen to the next chapter.
