My son Yang Jian has the qualities of an emperor

At the beginning of the morning light, Xiqi City awakens in a peaceful atmosphere.

The sky gradually changes from dark blue to light blue, and a faint golden red begins to spread on the eastern horizon, indicating that a new day is coming.

The outline of Xiqi City gradually becomes clear in the morning light, and the bricks and stones on the city wall seem to be coated with a layer of golden light, which looks solemn and mysterious.

On the streets in the city, early-rising vendors have begun their busy day.

They push carts loaded with goods and shuttle on the stone road. The sound of wheels rolling and the sound of chickens and dogs barking in the distance are intertwined, forming a vivid morning symphony.

The roadside breakfast stalls are rising with curling smoke, and the fragrance of fried dough sticks, buns, and soy milk fills the air, attracting passers-by.

The buildings in the city are more solemn under the morning light.

The eaves and corners, carved beams and painted buildings, every brick and tile tells of vicissitudes. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, and sprinkles on the neat stone road in patches, as if it is a mark of time, which makes people slow down and savor it carefully.

The moat of Xiqi City sparkles in the morning light, and the river water is clear and reflects the scenery on both sides.

Occasionally, a few water birds fly over the river, stirring up circles of ripples, adding a bit of vitality to this quiet morning.

Auspicious clouds are like a flowing brocade, slowly sliding from the horizon, covering the rising sun and casting a few huge shadows.

In Xiqi City, people look up at this sudden vision in amazement, not knowing whether it is a disaster or a blessing.

The auspicious clouds stagnate over the Xiqi Bohou Mansion, and the golden light in the clouds flickers. Twelve figures stand out of thin air, which are the twelve golden immortals of the Chan Sect.

Behind them, the outline of Yuxu Palace can be vaguely seen, and the fairy air is lingering, as if the heaven has descended to the earth.

Shen Gongbao had a premonition. He was dressed in a green Taoist robe and holding a whisk, and hurried forward to greet them. His face was filled with awe and excitement. This was the manifestation of God's will and the opportunity for Xiqi to rise.

"Welcome to you, brothers. Shen Gongbao has been waiting for you here for a long time." Shen Gongbao bowed respectfully to the ground.

The twelve golden immortals slowly descended, and the clouds dispersed, revealing their true faces.

Guangchengzi was tall and had a solemn face. He was dressed in a golden Taoist robe, a purple gold crown, and holding a whisk, looking majestic and sacred.

Xibo Hou Jichang rushed over after hearing the news. He had an unconcealable excitement on his face, followed by his son Jifa, who was curious and in awe.

"Greetings to all the immortals." Jichang and Jifa also bowed.

Guangchengzi nodded slightly, his eyes swept over everyone present, his voice as loud as a bell and a drum: "Shang Zhou was assassinated and the world was in chaos! Now the time has come, you should quickly raise an army, destroy Shang, and rebuild the world order.

You must remember that Shang destroyed Zhou and rose, which is the will of heaven."

Ji Chang and Ji Fa looked at each other, and they could both feel the unquestionableness in Guangchengzi's words.

Ji Chang took a deep breath and answered firmly: "I will obey the order of the immortal, and Xiqi will not fail in its mission."

Guangchengzi, the leader of the Twelve Golden Immortals, nodded with satisfaction. He knew that Ji Chang was a monarch who could take on great responsibilities.

He turned to the other Golden Immortals and signaled them to act separately to assist Xiqi in preparing to raise an army.

In Xiqi City, with the arrival of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, an unprecedented force began to brew.

The soldiers were summoned, and the blacksmith shop was ablaze with flames, forging armor and weapons. The Taoists chanted spells and prayed for the protection of the gods, and the people also donated food to support the army.

The whole Xiqi City was boiling because of the arrival of the Twelve Golden Immortals, and everyone's face was full of determination and expectation.

Guangchengzi looked around the scene of Xiqi City and saw that the soldiers and horses in the city were in good order and the people were stable. He said to Shen Gongbao: "Shen Gongbao, you have worked hard in Xiqi and you have lived up to your trust. The soldiers and horses are strong, which is the foundation for achieving great things."

Shen Gongbao was happy to hear Guangchengzi's praise, and a proud smile appeared on his face. He immediately responded respectfully: "Brother Guangchengzi is too flattering. These are all to pave the way for Brother Jiang Ziya. I am just doing my part."

Hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren's face sank slightly. He was not satisfied with Shen Gongbao's words.

Taiyi Zhenren took a step forward, his voice was displeased: "Jiang Ziya has joined the Renjiao in recent years and has been too close to Yang Ling. This move is really unsatisfactory.

If he forgets the foundation of our Chanjiao, it will be disloyal to the master."

As soon as Taiyi Zhenren's words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The smile on Shen Gongbao's face froze, and he hurriedly explained: "Master Taiyi, please don't blame me. Brother Jiang Ziya cares about the world, and everything he does is for justice. He made friends with that man and taught Yang Ling, presumably to recruit talents and work together for the world."

Master Taiyi did not respond, but just glanced at Shen Gongbao coldly, turned to the other Golden Immortals and said: "We are here to assist Xiqi in raising an army and rebuilding the world order. Anyone who stands in the way is an enemy!"

Hearing this, the other Golden Immortals nodded one after another, expressing their agreement with Master Taiyi's point of view.

They knew that the most important thing at the moment was to deal with the situation of chaos in the world, and personal differences could be temporarily put aside.

Seeing this, Guangchengzi changed the subject: "Shen Gongbao, you must immediately gather the generals of Xiqi, and we must plan the matters of raising an army in detail.

Time is pressing and there is no room for error."

Hearing this, Shen Gongbao hurriedly responded, he knew that this was an important moment related to the fate of Xiqi.

He immediately ordered his men to quickly gather all the generals and prepare to start an emergency military meeting.

Nangong Shi was tall and tall, with a voice as loud as a bell. He stood up and glanced at the generals present with piercing eyes: "Now that we have received help from the gods, we should take advantage of the situation and attack Huanglong. We can seize Chaoge and seize the world in one fell swoop." !”

As soon as he finished speaking, a steady voice sounded, interrupting Nangong Shi's momentum. Huang Feihu was dressed in military uniform. Although he was no longer as majestic as before, his calm and unhurried general demeanor remained undiminished.

He shook his head, with some worry in his tone: "General Nangong's words are reasonable, but Chaoge is not a trivial matter. There are five or six dangerous city gates along the way. If we cannot break them one by one, our army's logistics will be severely hindered and we will be in a dilemma."

After hearing this, all the generals present couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Although most of them are brave, they lack a deep understanding of the battlefield. Huang Feihu's words made them aware of the risks of taking Chaoge directly.

Seeing this, Shen Gongbao immediately seized the opportunity. He cleared his throat and stood up to ease the atmosphere: "General Huang is a famous old general of Dashang. He knows the formation and distribution of the Shang army very well. His experience is very useful to me." Xiqi is a rare treasure."

He turned to look at the generals and said firmly: "I propose that General Huang lead the army. With his rich experience and deep understanding of the enemy's army, he can give us Xiqi guidance."

After hearing this, all the generals nodded in agreement.

They knew that in the face of such a complex situation, they really needed an experienced general to lead the overall situation.

When Huang Feihu saw everyone expressing support, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

He knew that this was his chance to clear his name and avenge his fallen brothers. He took a deep breath, stood up, and said loudly: "Since the generals trust me, Huang Feihu is willing to lead the army there, and he will definitely live up to everyone's expectations!"

Seeing that everyone was unanimous, Guangchengzi clapped his hands and praised: "Okay! With General Huang leading the army, and with the help of the Twelve Golden Immortals like us, this army will surely succeed in one fell swoop."

The meeting ended in a warm atmosphere, and everyone was busy preparing for the next action.

The atmosphere in Xiqi City is more tense and vibrant, and everyone is preparing for the upcoming war.

As night falls, the lights of Xiqi City are brightly lit, but the atmosphere in the city is heavy and dignified.

Xibo Hou Jichang felt that his breath was gradually weakening, and he knew that his end was approaching. He summoned his son Ji Fa, as well as Shen Gongbao, Nangong Shi, Huang Feihu and other ministers, and they gathered in the meeting hall of the Hou Mansion.

Ji Chang's face looked particularly pale, but his eyes were still firm and powerful.

He looked at Ji Fa, his eyes full of fatherly love and expectation. Although his voice was weak, every word was clear and powerful: "Fa'er, the world is in chaos and the current situation is difficult. I know that I don't have much time, and today I will go to the west." The position of Lord of Qi is passed on to you."

A trace of surprise flashed across Ji Fa's face, and then he knelt down, took the jade seal from his father's hand, and said in a firm voice, "I will live up to my father's trust and swear to protect Xiqi to the death and bring peace to the world."

Ji Chang turned to Shen Gongbao and the civil and military ministers present. Although his tone was gentle, it carried unquestionable majesty: "Shen Gongbao, Nangong Shi, Huang Feihu, and all of you here, I hope you will assist my son to fight against the enemy together and achieve stability." Quartet.”

Shen Gongbao and others saluted one after another and said in unison, "Following the orders of the Marquis, we will assist the new monarch and fight against the national calamity together."

Not long after, Ji Chang passed away peacefully in the silence of the night.

Ji Fa succeeded to the throne and became the new Xibohou. He had no time to immerse himself in grief and immediately began to vigorously rectify military affairs and prepare for the upcoming war.

Ji Fa's face was full of perseverance and determination.

He summoned all the generals and held an emergency military meeting.

He stood on the high platform with a sonorous voice: "My father has passed away. Now, I have ascended the throne as a marquis. What we are facing is a war related to the survival of the country. I need the strength of each of you. We must unite our thoughts. Integrate resources and face this challenge together.”

Generals such as Nangong Shi and Huang Feihu all showed a firm attitude. They knew that this was the most critical moment for Xiqi and everyone must shoulder their responsibilities.

In the following days, the atmosphere inside and outside Xiqi City was filled with tension.

The fire in the blacksmith shop kept burning day and night, the soldiers drilled day and night, and the people also organized themselves to support the front line.

Ji Fa personally supervised the army and constantly inspected the military camps to boost morale.

A few days later, outside Xiqi City, banners were flying and war drums were thundering. Four hundred thousand troops were arrayed neatly, their morale was like a rainbow, and their armor shone with a cold light.

Two hundred princes from the west also responded to the call and gathered another 400,000 troops, totaling 800,000, ready to set off.

The early morning sun shone on the barracks, and the golden light reflected each soldier's face. Their eyes were full of fighting spirit and expectation.

The two forces met outside Xiqi City, with a total of 800,000 troops, like a vast black ocean, with flags flying and fighting spirit rising.

At dawn, the gate of Xiqi City slowly opened. Ji Fa, wearing a battle robe and holding a long sword, led the generals out of the gate.

His eyes shone with perseverance, and his steps were steady and powerful. He ordered people to build a high platform in front of the army formation, and the platform was filled with flying flags, symbolizing the majesty and glory of Xiqi.

Ji Fa was wearing a military uniform and had a firm gaze. He ordered people to set up a high platform in front of the army formation. The flags on the platform were flying, and the sacrificial flags with dragons and phoenixes were rolling in the wind.

He personally went on stage, facing the sky, holding his hands up to the sky, his voice was loud and full of piety: "Gods of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods are above, today Ji Fa is offering sacrifices to the heavens, begging God to protect and bless my Xiqi army, wipe out the troubled times, and restore peace to the world!"

As Ji Fa's voice of sacrifice, the clouds in the sky rolled, and sacred rays of light penetrated the clouds and shone on him.

Suddenly, the figures of the twelve golden immortals of the Chan sect appeared in the air. They were surrounded by immortal aura and solemn, as if they were messengers from heaven, declaring the will of God.

Guangchengzi, one of the twelve golden immortals, spoke like a bell, spreading throughout the army: "Men of Xiqi, you are just and follow the will of heaven. This time, the army is sent out, which is the will of heaven. Our twelve golden immortals of the Chan sect will protect you and you will be invincible all the way forward!"

At this moment, all the soldiers were overwhelmed with emotions. They firmly believed that this time, the army was sent out, which was the will of heaven. Everything they did was for justice and the people of the world.

The soldiers raised their weapons and shouted battle slogans, their voices were deafening and echoing in the valleys. Their confidence was unprecedentedly strengthened, and everyone seemed to have gained the power of God, ready to meet the upcoming battle.

Ji Fa looked at all this in front of him, with strong emotions surging in his heart. He knew that this would be a war that would determine the fate of Xiqi, and it would also be the most critical moment in his life.

He took a deep breath, turned around and faced countless expectant eyes, waved the long sword in his hand, and announced loudly: "The army is going!"

Following Ji Fa's order, the 800,000-strong army began to move slowly, winding forward like a giant dragon, embarking on the journey of conquering the troubled times.

…

Above Chaoge, the wind and clouds surged.

The ink-colored unicorn rolled up the dark clouds, and Wen Zhong rode on it, like a god descending from heaven, his eyes were cold, looking directly at the Chaoge Palace below.

His voice was like thunder, penetrating the clouds and echoing over the entire Chaoge City: "Bigan, come out and answer!"

In the Chaoge Palace, Bigan heard Wen Zhong's call and his heart tightened. He knew that Master Wen was famous for his integrity and integrity. Once he identified a target, he would pursue it relentlessly.

Bigan walked through the corridor of the palace with a heavy step and walked out of the hall with heavy steps.

Wen Zhong's eyes were fixed on Bigan, his eyes were like torches, as if he could see through people's hearts: "Bigan, there are rumors in Chaoge City that you are secretly colluding with the Yang family business and plotting something bad. This matter is of great importance, you must give me a clear answer!"

He looked up at Wen Zhong who was hanging in the air, his face solemn, with a barely perceptible tremor in his voice: "Why did Master Wen say that? Although Bi Gan is not talented, he is loyal and has never committed regicide or rebellion."

He straightened his back and said seriously: "Regicide or rebellion It is pure nonsense to say that he is against the business. Bigan has been loyal to the business all his life and has never had the slightest intention of betraying.

Although the Yang family business is powerful, Bigan has no personal relationship with it, and will not betray the king for his own selfish interests.

Although Bigan has met the owner of the Yang family business several times, he has never had any illegal plans. If someone makes a false accusation, Bigan is willing to guarantee with his life that this is absolutely not the case! "

Bigan's words are firm, and his eyes are looking directly at Wen Zhong. His eyes reveal an unquestionable clarity and determination.

The officials and guards present were infected by Bigan's momentum. They stood or knelt, their eyes focused on Wen Zhong in the sky and Bigan on the ground, secretly judging the truth of this matter in their hearts.

Wen Zhong was silent for a moment. He knew that Bigan had always been loyal, but this matter was of great importance and could not be lost.

Finally, Wen Zhong slowly spoke: "Bigan, I will verify your words. If it is true as you said, I will not wrongly accuse a good person.

But if it is found to be a fraud, you know I will not be lenient."

Bigan felt relieved when he heard this. He knew that although Wen Zhong was strict, he was also a fair person. He immediately responded: "Master Wen, Bigan is willing to accept all necessary investigations. Regarding the dealings with Yang's business, Bigan has a complete account book for inspection, and there is absolutely no intention of regicide and rebellion."

Wen Zhong nodded, indicating that Bigan should provide evidence.

Bigan immediately ordered someone to bring the account book and hand it to Wen Zhong.

Wen Zhong's subordinates took the account book, unfolded it in public, and carefully examined it.

Under the eyes of the public, every transaction in the account book was clearly visible, all reasonable and legal, and Yang's business made a lot of contributions to the Great Shang Dynasty.

Wen Zhong stretched out his body and fell straight down from the clouds. As soon as his footsteps touched the ground, he was already standing in front of Bigan. His figure was like an unshakable mountain, giving people an endless sense of oppression.

"Bigan, I want to see the owner of Yang's business to ask clearly, let him come now." Wen Zhong's voice was unquestionable, and his eyes were like a sharp sword, pressing directly at Bigan.

Bigan's heart tightened, but his expression did not change. He nodded and signaled the guards behind him to pass the message quickly.

After a while, Jiang Ziya entered the palace, his steps were calm and his demeanor was calm. Under the gaze of everyone, he walked straight to Wen Zhong and bowed.

"Senior Brother Yang is not here because of something. If you have anything to do, please ask me." Jiang Ziya's voice was calm, but every word was clear and powerful.

Wen Zhong frowned. He originally wanted to get the answer directly from the owner of Yang's business, but now it seems that he can only start with Jiang Ziya.

"Who is the regicide?" Wen Zhong got straight to the point, with a hint of severity in his voice that could not be ignored.

Jiang Ziya was not in a hurry to answer, but spoke slowly, with a hint of deep power in his voice: "Master Wen, Emperor Xin has committed numerous crimes since he ascended the throne. Everyone knows the ten major crimes."

He began to list Di Xin's crimes one by one. Each one was a heinous crime, which made everyone present feel frightened.

"He is debauched and immoral, turning into a wine pond and a forest of meat; he is ruthless and cruel, killing loyal people; he is greedy and squeezes the blood and sweat of the people; he is arrogant and arrogant, claiming to be the emperor, but he does not know the will of God..."

Jiang Ziya's voice became louder and louder, and every word seemed to hit the hearts of everyone present with a heavy hammer.

"It is not a pity to die for such a foolish king!" His last words were like a bolt from the blue, echoing throughout the palace.

Wen Zhong listened to Jiang Ziya's words, his brows furrowed, but his heart was filled with ups and downs. He knew that what Jiang Ziya said was true, and what Di Xin had done had already made everyone in the world angry.

But as the grand master of Chaoge, he had to consider the stability of the country and could not easily convict him.

Wen Zhong's face turned livid, and his anger boiled in his chest like lava. His voice shook the heavens and the earth, full of uncontrollable anger: "You are the lord of the world, and regicide is treason and against the laws of nature! How dare you say such treasonous words in public!"

Jiang Ziya was unmoved, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and a hint of sarcasm in his voice: "Master Wen, don't you understand? If the monarch loses his virtue and the people have no one to rely on, regicide may be the only way to do it. It’s in compliance with God’s will.”

His sharp words pointed directly at Wen Zhong's blind spots, as if they were a hard slap on Wen Zhong's self-esteem.

Wen Zhong's anger reached its peak. His hands clenched into fists, almost crushing the weapons in his hands: "You...you are challenging the dignity of the court and the limit of my endurance!"

His body suddenly burst out with a powerful momentum, and his whole body was like an angry lion, ready to pounce on Jiang Ziya and tear him apart at any time.

Seeing this, Bigan hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hands, trying to calm down Wen Zhong's anger: "Master Wen, wait a minute! Although Jiang Ziya's words are fierce, his original intention is not to rebel. Master, please think twice and don't act out of anger. causing irreparable consequences.”

There was a hint of urgency in Bigan's voice. He knew that once Wen Zhong made a move, Jiang Ziya and Yang Ling behind him would definitely fight back.

In that case, the plan to peacefully conquer Wen Zhong will be impossible. By then, the entire Dashang will be in chaos, and countless innocent people will be implicated.

Wen Zhong's anger was slightly suppressed by Bi Gan's words, but his eyes still shot towards Jiang Ziya like sharp arrows, as if a fatal attack might break out at any time.

Jiang Ziya still looked calm. He knew that his words had caused Wen Zhong great dissatisfaction, but he also knew that what he said was the true thought in his heart.

The atmosphere between the three people was extremely tense, and the entire palace fell into an oppressive silence, like a powder keg that was about to explode, waiting for just a spark to cause an explosion.

Seeing Wen Zhong's anger, Bigan stepped forward quickly, with a hint of urgency in his voice: "Master Wen, please be patient. The late emperor has passed away, and what Dashang needs most now is internal stability. If it is due to internal strife, To harm the destiny of the country is true disloyalty and unfilial piety.”

His eyes were firm, trying to make Wen Zhong realize the seriousness of the situation at hand: "Now, we must unite as one and face foreign enemies together. If the country is uneasy, foreign enemies will take advantage of the situation. By then, the power of Dashang will be The country will be in danger."

Wen Zhong glanced at Bigan coldly, with a sarcastic smile on his lips: "Bigan, do you think I don't know your thoughts? You want to inherit the throne, but in my eyes, you are just a One of the rebels."

His voice was full of disdain and suspicion, questioning Bigan's loyalty: "Do you think you can convince the people by wearing the royal robe? Without destiny, how can you sit firmly on the throne?"

When Bigan heard this, he couldn't help but feel sad.

He wanted to calm the situation, but unexpectedly it aroused Wen Zhong's anger even more. He knew that if he could not convince Wen Zhong, Dashang's future would be full of variables.

At this time, Jiang Ziya shook his head slightly, with a sarcastic look on his face, and said to Wen Zhong: "Master Wen, how foolish and loyal you are, extremely stupid. You only follow the late emperor blindly, but you are unwilling to listen to the voices of the people. "

There was a hint of disdain in his tone: "You think what you are doing is loyal to the great merchants, but in fact, you are just maintaining a decadent rule. The people are miserable. How much do you know?"

Jiang Ziya's words were sharp and pointed directly at Wen Zhong's weakness.

He knew that in order to shake Wen Zhong's belief, he had to make him realize the impact of his actions on the people.

Everyone present listened to Jiang Ziya's words and couldn't help but feel touched in their hearts. Many of them had witnessed Di Xin's tyranny with their own eyes and deeply agreed with Jiang Ziya's words.

Wen Zhong's face became even more ugly, his hands clenched into fists, and anger flashed in his eyes.

His eyes swept over Bigan and Jiang Ziya coldly: "This is just an excuse for you to kill the king! The king is not a king, and the ministers are not ministers. The world is so big, how can you allow you to act rashly!"

Bigan felt anxious when he saw this. He knew that the situation in front of him had reached a critical juncture, and he must try his best to stabilize Wen Zhong's mood.

He took a step forward and persuaded in a sincere tone: "Master Wen, I know you are loyal, but please be aware that Emperor Xin's tyranny has made the people of the world miserable. If you don't change, the future of Dashang will be ruined." Redeemable.”

"Shut up!" Wen Zhong shouted angrily, his eyes seemed to be emitting flames, and he angrily interrupted Bigan's words, "You traitors, how dare you talk about the so-called people of the world in front of me! How could I not know what you are thinking?"

Bigan hesitated to speak, he knew that Wen Zhong was already in extreme anger at this time, and any persuasion would only provoke a greater backlash.

Jiang Ziya was observing the situation from the side. Seeing that Wen Zhong was furious, he raised a faint ironic smile at the corner of his mouth and said contemptuously: "Master Wen, your loyalty is admirable, but loyalty is also stupid.

You are guarding a foolish and cruel Shang Zhou, but you don't know that the people of the world have suffered from him for a long time."

Wen Zhong was so angry that he trembled all over when he heard Jiang Ziya's words. His fists were clenched so tightly that they turned white, and he almost pinched his nails into the flesh.

He turned around angrily and strode out, leaving behind a harsh remark before leaving: "Good! Good! Good! Soon, I will lead the army back to Chaoge to quell the rebellion! Then, let's see how you can argue!"

After that, Wen Zhong disappeared outside the gate of the palace.

Bigan and Jiang Ziya looked at each other, and a trace of worry flashed in their eyes.

They knew that Wen Zhong's departure did not mean the end of things, but a bigger storm was coming.

Bigan took a deep breath, he knew that they had to be fully prepared to deal with the challenges that Wen Zhong might bring.
