Every time I wake up, I take the blame for the villain
4. Investiture of the Gods
Although there was a Ma in the tent who was making trouble and even his own king said that he would be allowed to deal with the matter in a few days, Jiang Ziya was unwilling to get entangled with her.
When she came in with a basin of water again and asked him to wash his face, Jiang Ziya was quite indifferent and took the water and poured it on the ground, "You left me that day, and we can't be together again. This is like water poured on the ground, which can never be taken back."
Ma saw that he was so determined and was about to get angry. Wu Ji happened to come in. She immediately remembered Yin Pobai's instructions and raised her sleeves to wipe the corners of her eyes, "Jiang Ziya, you are so unfaithful! When you were fortune-telling in Chaoge, if I hadn't brought you water and cooked for you every day, you wouldn't have achieved what you have today. I have been with you for so long in such a hard life. Now that you have been promoted, you want to break up. Do you dislike me, an old woman?"
Jiang Ziya's face turned green.
Wu Ji couldn't bear to see Ma crying so miserably, so he consoled her, "Master, don't worry. Now that Master's wife has come to you, you will have a companion in the future...why not..."
Jiang Ziya was immediately angry when he heard this, thinking that this kid didn't know anything and came to meddle in the matter, and scolded, "You, a junior, are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the elders, why don't you leave quickly!"
Wu Ji left embarrassedly and told Ma that he could not help!
Jiang Ziya saw that Ma was still wailing, and immediately had no way to help, so he sighed and left.
Forget it, forget it, it's really what I owe! Really a nemesis!
The moon outside the camp is as bright as day.
Alas, I don't know why, I always feel uneasy when I see King Zhou of Shang again after the duel between the two armies that day.
Lei Zhenzi had thrown the silk cloth with King Zhou's numerous crimes into Chaoge a few days ago, but now the moonlight is heavy, and there is no movement in the city. Jiang Ziya sighed, frowned, and was in no mood to care about Ma. He straightened his clothes and went to King Wu's tent.
The people in Chaoge City did have a copy of King Zhou's crimes in their hands at this time. Their faces were very sad and sorrowful, but they were not as indignant as Jiang Ziya expected, and they hated the king of Chaoge City to the bone.
At this moment, the style of Chaoge City was as follows:
Woo, the king is too miserable!
Oh, the king is too pitiful...
What the king said was indeed right, Ji Fa was ambitious!
Poor king, in order to protect us, he was wronged for so long, we are incompetent...
Everyone clenched the silk and gritted their teeth.
Ji Fa, the traitor, has harmed my king to this point, and now he is still exposing the king's scars with empty words... If the king had not wanted to protect us, how could he have such a bad reputation, but now they are using it to attack Chaoge, how hateful!
It has to be said that Yin Pobai's work efficiency is quite good. In just a few days, this rumor has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Now that Zhouying has reported this crime, it just happens to echo the news released by Jiang Chen before.
The people in Chaoge City have an idea, that is, the king had to kill some people in order to protect them from the hands of the vixen. But they can live to this day because the king endured humiliation.
Although these people below have no ability, they are the most simple and grateful.
As soon as the crime of Xiqi appeared, their thoughts were already diverted by Jiang Chen to the miserable life of their king, and they could not take into account the resentment that Jiang Ziya expected towards King Zhou.
Sometimes, preconceived ideas are so terrible.
Now they feel the respect for King Zhou caused by compassion. And what Jiang Chen needs is their hearts.
Jiang Chen stood on the Lutai, looking at the lights downstairs. On the tower, there were soldiers who could not sleep and were guarding the city with energy, their eyes were deep.
After a long while, he looked down at the so-called crimes in his hand and sneered.
King Zhou, King Zhou! So what, Jiang Chen is not King Zhou!
It happened that Yu Sheng led Yin Pobai to catch up at this time. Yin Pobai bowed to him, "My king, some people have been released from the city."
After a long time without hearing any sound, Yin Pobai raised his head slightly and saw the black clothes fluttering on the edge of the Lutai in front of him. He was surprised at the loneliness of being out of the world. When he saw Jiang Chen turned around, he hurriedly lowered his head to calm down. Unexpectedly, he saw the white silk cloth in Jiang Chen's hand, which was full of words, and he was thankful, "Your Majesty is foresighted. Fortunately, we have clarified everything earlier and told the people in the city. Otherwise, all these slanderous words today would be washed away even if we jump into the Yellow River..."
Jiang Chen's hand loosened slightly, and the white silk swayed and fell to the ground. He walked over slowly, stepped on the white silk with one foot, looked straight ahead, stretched out his hand to help him up, and smiled slightly, "Thank you for your hard work. You are my minister of Cheng Tang's right hand. This is rare, and you must be rewarded well."
These people are die-hards of the Shang Dynasty and are willing to die for Shang Tang. But Jiang Chen has no doubt that appropriate interests drive their actions.
Yin Pobai bowed and expressed his loyalty, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will die for Cheng Tang without hesitation!"
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the gate of Chaoge, which Jiang Ziya expected, opened wide, and the scene of their hundreds of thousands of troops entering the city without bloodshed did not appear. On the contrary, the soldiers defending the city seemed to be full of energy, guarding the city to the death, and refused to relax.
And there was another crisis, under the cover of night, a group of refugees from Chaoge attacked the attacking army.
Now the enemy was defending the city, occupying the advantage of the terrain. The Xiqi army could not advance for a while.
This stagnation made the army unstable.
There were rumors that King Zhou could have killed Nezha that day, but why he was only slightly injured?
After these words came out, Li Jing's family could not calm down immediately, and hurried to King Wu's tent to express their loyalty.
Li Jing has been in the officialdom for many years, how could he not know the truth that serving the king is like serving a tiger, and the separation between the king and the minister is a taboo! ! !
After listening to him, Ji Fa nodded and said with a smile, "General, don't worry, you and Nezha are both under the seat of Yuanshi Tianzun, and you are from the same school as the prime minister, how could the king doubt you?"
As the prime minister of the army, Jiang Ziya naturally heard it and came to explain. After hearing King Wu's words, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise. My disciples of Yuxu Palace were ordered by Nuwa to help the king to attack King Zhou of Shang, so how could they have such a rebellious heart. This is probably a treacherous plot of King Zhou of Shang, and the king must not believe it!"
Ji Fa was quite modest, "Yes, Prime Minister, the king understands."
Seeing this, Li Jing and Nezha felt relieved.
But Jiang Chen's purpose was not just to make them have a rift between the king and the minister.
As the saying goes, three people can make a tiger. No matter how false a rumor is, if more people spread it, some people will believe it. Moreover, the rumors spread by Jiang Chen are always based on facts.
These rumors originated from the so-called refugees released by Yin Pobai. To put it bluntly, they were the result of Yin Pobai, who was loyal to Cheng Tang, brainwashing and poisoning Cheng Tang's orthodox thoughts. But these people are not lacking in wit, and they perfectly settled in the Xiqi military camp according to Jiang Chen's instructions.
Ji Fa took over these people, which was tantamount to burying a bomb for the Xiqi army.
However, not to mention that Ji Fa did not know the purpose of these people, even if he knew, he could only swallow his anger. Who told Yin Pobai to deliberately let them wear tattered clothes when he released them, and even splashed some blood of pigs, dogs, cows and sheep on them to show the difficulty of fleeing. If Ji Fa dared not to accept them in such a miserable state and fled to Zhou camp, his reputation for benevolence would be almost ruined.
At this time, the idea that King Zhou of Shang was cruel and deserved death, which was perfectly instilled in the soldiers of the Zhou camp, was no longer as wonderful as before.
When these soldiers heard that the leading general Nezha was related to King Zhou, they immediately exploded. Suddenly thinking that Li Jing and Nezha were originally ministers of King Tang, they naturally believed these words a little more.
After three or two quarrels, Ji Fa could no longer hold back, and went to find Jiang Ziya and the two parties to discuss. Jiang Ziya was in a dilemma for a long time, and the rumors in the camp were fierce. He only proposed a solution that was not a solution, "Why don't you first demote Nezha's position as a vanguard, appease the soldiers, and wait until this matter is over, and then..."
Nezha was young and didn't have so many twists and turns, but he vaguely remembered the meaningful smile on the city wall he saw.
Li Jing was anxious when he heard this, "Prime Minister, no... If we do this, it will make us look guilty and confirm the rumor!"
Jiang Ziya sighed, "How could I not know? But now the rumors in the camp are so true that it is hard to stop them. We are in a dilemma. If we don't use this trick, the army will be unstable. How can our Xiqi army unite to capture Chaoge?"
Nezha said, "Father, don't panic. I don't care! Saving the people of the world is the duty of my Yuxu disciples. It's just a demotion at this time. As long as we overthrow King Zhou's tyranny, it doesn't matter if Nezha doesn't serve as a pioneer!"
Li Jing's face was a little gray. Looking at his son's innocent face, he was speechless for a while when he saw that he was willing to sacrifice his life for the country, family and justice. But his heart was like a mirror, knowing that demotion was the only way and it was inevitable and could not be changed. He looked at Nezha and sighed, "Son, I'm sorry for you!"
Position position! Demotion demotion!
He was not worried about Nezha's position, but how Nezha would live peacefully under the eyes of hundreds of thousands of Xiqi soldiers with this dirty water on him.
Ji Fa naturally knew that this matter was difficult, but he had to give orders, and his face was embarrassed for a while. Jiang Ziya sighed, turned his head, and finally said, "Nezha, the king will not treat you badly in the future."
The Xiqi army was a coalition of 800 princes, and naturally they did not trust Yuxu Palace as much as Ji Fa. Rumors also said that if Yuxu Palace really wanted to support the true king, why would it let Shen Gongbao, a disciple, assist King Zhou. The generals only then knew that their prime minister Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao were actually from the same sect. These rumors were true and false, and everyone had to doubt the purpose of Yuxu Palace. Jiang Chen had a set of rumors with reason and evidence, and Nezha, who had always been popular, had to be unlucky at this time.
Although the princes' coalition was suspicious, they had no evidence after all. Since the King Wu, who always had a good reputation, came out to clarify and indeed demoted Nezha and Li Jing, the soldiers and generals under them were still dissatisfied, but they finally kept silent.
This was not the end, because after Jiang Ziya returned to his tent, he saw a dead person.
The dead person was Ma.
