- Chapter 457 Anecdotes of Chaoge
Hearing that the Grand Master returned to the court was a major event in the entire Shang Dynasty, and it was also an earth-shaking event.
This is not just because Wen Zhong was a Tuogu veteran of the Shang Dynasty.
You must know that Wen Zhong was not the only Tuogu veteran of the Shang Dynasty. Others included Prime Minister Shang Rong, Asia Prime Minister and Emperor's Uncle Bigan, Taishi and Emperor's Uncle Jizi, and so on. Among them, Prime Minister Shang Rong was a veteran of three dynasties, with disciples all over the government and abroad, and his reputation was no less than that of Wen Zhong.
"However, including the Emperor Xin, as well as the civil servants and military generals of the Manchu Dynasty, no matter whether they were loyal, treacherous, wise or foolish, there was no one who was not afraid of Wen Zhong.
"Because, in Wen Zhong's hand, he has the king's whip given by the late emperor, which can be used to knock out the emperor and beat the sycophants.
You must know that Wen Zhongke was Emperor Xin's mentor. Of course, this teaching was not about teaching cultivation methods, but about the way to govern and secure the country. With this level of imperial master status, Wen Zhong was quite justified in beating up Di Xin, and Di Xin had no way to redress his grievances.
As for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, they were even more afraid of Wen Zhong.
Wen Zhongnai was the Grand Master of the current dynasty, so it goes without saying that he held a high position and had great power.
Although Wen Zhong was not the only Grand Master of the Shang Dynasty at this time, Emperor Xin's uncle, Ji Zi, a famous sage from the Shang royal family and known as the first son of China, was also a Grand Master of this dynasty, but Ji Zi was not as good as Wen Zhong. Power.
Because Jizi is just a civil servant, while Wen Zhong is a man of both civil and military skills. Although Wen Zhong has never heard of immortal magic, his military value is definitely the best in this dynasty. As for the art of governing the country, it is undoubtedly second to none.
In addition, the most admirable and helpless thing among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty is that Wen Zhong has no selfish motives! It can be said that he has no selfish motives at all, and he really serves Dashang wholeheartedly!
After years of hard work, although the Shang Dynasty was prosperous, Wen Zhong's private life could be said to be absolutely simple.
This Wen Zhong seems to be several dozen years old. He doesn¡¯t even have a wife, so naturally he doesn¡¯t have any children. In fact, the total number of servants in the family does not exceed ten.
Wen Zhong¡¯s Grand Master¡¯s Mansion is certainly not small, covering an area of ??hundreds of hectares. It was given by the former Shang Emperor Yi, so there¡¯s not much to say about it. But the decoration of Wen Zhong's Grand Master's Mansion can be said to be unsatisfactory. Apart from a martial arts arena filled with weapons, the only remaining items are Wen Zhong's residence, study, stables and a few servants' side rooms. , there is nothing left.
Whether it was the late emperor or Emperor Xin, Wen Zhong was always rewarded with all kinds of lands, slaves, gold, silver and jewelry, etc. However, all these goods were transferred to his subordinates by Wen Zhong or given to the poor. People, even those slaves, were given some wealth by Wen Zhong and regained their freedom. The result of all this trouble was that the huge Imperial Master's Mansion didn't even have any remaining wealth.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:
" Faced with Wen Zhong's profound selfless dedication and selfless dedication, no one in the Manchu Dynasty of Dachang, whether loyal or traitorous, could not sincerely admire him.
Of course, apart from admiration, the Manchu ministers and workers of this great merchant were also quite tangled in their hearts.
"Because, you Wen Zhong, one person is full and the whole family is not hungry, but slave owners like us, big and small, all have families and businesses. Even if we are not corrupt, we still have to have money to support our wives and children, right?" Besides, no matter how poor we are, we still have to maintain the dignity of being a large slave-owning class, right?
Therefore, although Wen Zhong never asked the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to serve the Shang Dynasty wholeheartedly, these ministers still felt that working with Wen Zhong, an upright official, was too difficult!
However, there was nothing anyone could do about Wen Zhong! That's a real egg that has no desires, no needs, and nothing to offer!
Therefore, when Wen Zhong returned to the court, everyone in the court, including Emperor Xin, was entangled in their hearts. It was really a mixture of love and hate, and they couldn't stop!
Just when everyone was feeling uneasy, Wen Zhong finally returned to Chaoge City.
On the first day when Wen Zhong returned to the court, he pointed at the noses of the emperors and ministers and cursed them head-to-toe. He even took out the golden whip given by the late king to beat the king, and brought down Emperor Xin and the civil and military officials of the court. When he landed on the ground, he was beaten all over again. Even the old man Shang Rong, the veteran prime minister of three dynasties who was already in his seventies and eighty and almost unable to walk, was whipped several times and almost half to death. The worst thing was that of Emperor Di Xin, whose already disfigured face was beaten into a pig's head again, and it seemed that there were several broken bones on his body.
As for the reason why Wen Zhong was angry, it was also very simple, that is, Emperor Xin and other monarchs and ministers were disrespectful to the human race¡¯s Holy Mother Nuwa.
Normally, Di Xin should be the only one who disrespects the Nuwa Empress.
But Wen Zhong doesn't care about this. Those of you who are ministers, if you know that the king has made a mistake but don't fight to the death to recommend it, you are all jointly and severally responsible, so you will all be beaten.
Not only did Fatty beat up these monarchs and ministers, Wen Zhong also made a request, asking everyone to find a way to pray for the forgiveness of Empress Nuwa, and made it clear that if they could not get the forgiveness of Empress Nuwa, Wen Zhong would not be able to get it for a day. Go to court.
Normally, if Wen Zhong does not go to court, these monarchs and ministers should be happy. After all, no one wants an evil star hanging above their head, right?
But in fact, even if Wen Zhong does not go to court, as long as Wen Zhong is still singing the song, none of these monarchs and ministers will dare to make mistakes.
So, everyone went to the Nuwa Palace honestly to build golden bodies and sacrifice three animals grandly. Moreover, Di Xin took the lead and knelt outside the Nuwa Palace, muttering incessantly, as if He is praying for the forgiveness of Empress Nuwa.
However, it is obvious that this apology has been delayed for several years and does not seem to have much sincerity. It has not yet been recognized by Empress Nuwa.
More than ten times before and after, everyone knelt in front of the outer gate of Nuwa Palace for more than a month. The ministers had already suffered from back pain and leg cramps from kneeling, and several old men had already foamed at the mouth and fainted several times. If the imperial doctor hadn't rescued her in time, she would have died long ago, but there was still no movement in Nuwa's palace.
In the end, it was Fei Zhong and You Hun who came up with the idea, saying that since Empress Nuwa didn¡¯t say anything, she should have forgiven us by default. So, let¡¯s go back and wash up and sleep!
"It is very rare that Fei Zhong and You Hun's excuse, which was not very clever, was unanimously recognized by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Therefore, Di Xin, who had already intended to leave, reluctantly refused a few times, then got off the road, separated from the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and went back to live the lives of corrupt slave owners.
"Alas! Dashang's luck was completely ruined like this!" Seeing this, Wen Zhong in the Taishi Mansion, who was opening his eyes to observe Di Xin's every move, couldn't help but let out a long sigh, his eyes filled with tears. It is the color of decline.
As a direct disciple of the third generation of Jiejiao, Wen Zhong naturally knew that Empress Nuwa was indeed a real person, and she had great kindness to the human race. More importantly, the Nuwa Empress is still alive today, and her magical power is unimaginably high.
Therefore, ever since he learned that Emperor Xin dared to blaspheme Nuwa, Wen Zhong knew that the Shang Dynasty was probably going to end.
However, after serving as an official in the Shang Dynasty for decades, Wen Zhong still had some feelings for the Shang Dynasty. Although this feeling was far inferior to the millions of years of teachings from his master, Wen Zhong still did not want to watch the decline of the Shang Dynasty. After teaching the civil and military officials of the dynasty a lesson, Wen Zhong gave some advice. Di Xin and others went to the Nuwa Palace to repent, hoping to impress the Nuwa Empress and earn the last glimmer of life for the declining Shang Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, this Emperor Xin was really unscrupulous. He didn't even show off his skills. He knelt outside Nuwa Palace for an hour and then went back to eat. He came back and forth for nearly three hours. After three afternoons, After kneeling for a short while, he went back to the palace to have fun.
There are a few of those ministers who are more sincere, but the vast majority of them are just making up the numbers. They are simply the kind of guys who kowtow and fart, and do not do as much good as they do evil.
Therefore, although this act of repentance seems to be huge and time-consuming, in fact, it has not achieved any substantive results.
At this point, Wen Zhong was completely disappointed with Di Xin and others, "It's okay to do evil if God does it, but you can't live if you do it yourself! With this group of prodigal things who don't know the heights of heaven and earth, how much luck does the Great Shang Dynasty have? It¡¯s not corrupt enough! That¡¯s all, let you do whatever you want! At worst, I will take action in the future to save a trace of the Shang Dynasty¡¯s bloodline, which will be considered worthy of your Yin Shang family!¡±
The plan was settled in his mind. From then on, Wen Zhong stopped going to court due to illness. He even avoided the visits of Emperor Xin and other civil and military officials.
"Great! Old Man Wen Zhong seems to be really sick!" After several attempts, Old Man Wen Zhong did not show up. All the civil and military officials in the court and all the slave owners in Chaoge City were filled with joy and encouragement.
"Now, that hapless guy Di Xin won't bother with the Slave Bill of Rights anymore, right? Originally, we were worried that after Master Wen returned to the court, Di Xin would rely on the support of the old master to do whatever he wanted. Yeah! This is great, even the backstage has collapsed, let¡¯s see how long you, Di Xin, can keep dancing!¡±
Although he didn¡¯t know what these slave owners were thinking, after being tortured for a while, Di Xin gradually discovered some benefits after Wen Zhong returned to the court.
Although Wen Zhong did not go to Longde Hall to discuss matters again, since Wen Zhong returned to the court, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty wereThey have restrained themselves a lot, and no one dares to make loud noises in the Longde Hall anymore, pointing at Di Xin's nose and angrily cursing that the emperor is long and the emperor is short. All of them tucked their tails between their legs and kept their voices quiet, like well-behaved kittens, fearing that their screams might get louder and wake up the sleeping tiger.
In this seemingly strange atmosphere, the situation of the Great Shang Dynasty continued for another ten years.
In these ten years, many things happened in both the Shang Dynasty and the princes from all over the world. Among them, the most important ones were these few.
First of all, Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu found a cheap master from somewhere. This person's surname was Jiang Shang and his courtesy name was Ziya. According to rumors, it was Jiang Huanchu's wise minister Ying Meng. It is said that Jiang Yugong, the ancestor of the Jiang family and the last Emperor Yan, personally entrusted the dream to Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu.
As a member of the family, and with all kinds of warnings from his ancestors' dreams, although he didn't know where Jiang Ziya came from, Dong Bohou still trusted him. When Pu Yi met him, after a simple interview, Jiang Huanchu worshiped Jiang Ziya. As the prime minister, he is responsible for the affairs of Dongbohou and other military and political affairs.
Not to mention, this Jiang Ziya looks like he is already in his seventies, but he has absolutely no energy to speak of. After a lot of jumping up and down, he actually became a master in less than ten years. The entire Donglu is becoming more and more vivid, and the comprehensive national strength has obviously reached a high level. It can be said that the people are prosperous, the country is prosperous, and the army is strong.
While Donglu was developing vigorously, another major prince in the Shang Dynasty, Xibohou, also received support from a mysterious force in the past ten years.
In addition, in order to divide the slave owners in Xiqi and Chaoge, Emperor Xin forcibly promoted the slavery reform bill in Xiqi. Unexpectedly, the Slave Bill of Rights, with the joint efforts of Xibohou Jifa and the mysterious forces, achieved unprecedented success.
Therefore, in the past ten years, the population of Xiqi has surged, the economy has developed rapidly, and even the army has expanded greatly. It has not only restored the power of its previous heyday, but even exceeded it.
During this period, due to the discord between Emperor Xin and the slave owners in the Shang Dynasty, Emperor Xin proposed several human rights bills to protect slave owners, but they failed to pass the court meeting.
After several disputes, not only did they fail to achieve anything, but the conflicts between Emperor Xin and the courtiers became even more acute.
The direct result of the discord between the monarch and his ministers is that these ministers are passive and sabotage their work. Although he didn't dare to directly confront Di Xin, it was really easy to use some tricks secretly to undermine Di Xin's political orders. Among them, members of the royal family headed by Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziyan were the most prominent.
Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziyan were originally brothers from the same parents as Emperor Xin. However, because they were born too early, before their mother was appointed queen, they became concubines and lost the right to be the first in line of succession. Di Xin, the third brother. Therefore, the two brothers had always been resentful towards Emperor Xin. In the spirit of the opposition party, we resolutely oppose anything supported by the ruling party, coupled with their own interests at stake, these two brothers spared no effort to rebel against Emperor Xin, and even colluded with unknown external forces. .
Just like that, the great Shang Dynasty was turned into a mess by this group of reactionaries, and it was in decline.
¡°Moreover, in the past few years, these reactionaries have become increasingly arrogant.
Because, during this period, two pillars of the Shang Dynasty left the court one after another.
Of these two pillars, one is naturally the Grand Master Wen Zhong who hides in the Grand Master's Mansion all day without leaving home and has no idea what he is doing; the other is the Prime Minister Shang Rong.
Wen Zhongna was discouraged and did not want to assist the unlucky Emperor Xin who dared to disrespect his ancestor and mother-in-law, Nuwa, the human race¡¯s holy mother, so he did not go to court due to illness. As for Shang Rong, it was indeed because he was too old that he could hardly walk. He had no choice but to withdraw from the court and retire in seclusion.
At this point, among the three elders of the Shang Dynasty, only one emperor, Jizi, was left.
Mentioning this Jizi, many people may not have much impression. It seems that throughout the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the only famous imperial uncle was Bi Gan, the one who had the heart of Qiqiao exquisitely carved out.
But in fact, in terms of influence, Jizi¡¯s influence can be said to be far greater than that of Bigan, because the Confucianism of later generations inherited Jizi¡¯s thoughts.
Among them, Jizi proposed a nine-point outline for governing the country, which is the "Hong Fan Jiu Chou", which is still included in "Shang Shu".
"Hong Fan Jiu Chou" has a total of nine articles, the first of which puts forward the famous Five Elements Theory of later generations. It not only clarifies the basic positioning of the Five Elements for the first time, water, fire, wood, metal, and earth, but also provides the most basic explanation of the Five Elements theory.
????????????????? Although Jizi was talented, Di Xin did not believe in this guy, even though Jizi seemed to be an old minister of Tuogu. The reason is very simple, just because this guy is the emperor's uncle!
In the eyes of Emperor Xin, all those who once had the right to inherit but were unable to ascend the throne of God because of the eldest son succession system are suspected of rebellion! Although at present, there seems to be no evidence that this uncle Jizi has any signs of rebellion.
From this point of view, this Jizi can be regarded as suffering from the disaster caused by Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziyan!
Two of the three old ministers left, and although the remaining one was capable, he could only take care of some chores such as sacrifices. Most of the other ministers were half-hearted, so the internal affairs of the Shang Dynasty began to go downhill again.
The government was gradually becoming chaotic. At the same time, Emperor Xin's harem also began to show signs of chaos.
Because, during this period, Ji Da, the former beautiful spy of the Su tribe, um, now Su Daji, miraculously gained the favor of Emperor Xin.
Normally, Di Xin¡¯s penis was eaten by rats, so he no longer had any need for it. Even if he hadn¡¯t practiced Sunflower Forgetting Love and reached the state of eunuch forgetting love, he should still be immune to beautiful women!
It turns out that Su Daji was favored for a profound historical reason.
By the way, ever since he was physically and mentally devastated by a group of rats, Di Xin has been left with a lingering shadow in his heart, that is, he is afraid of rats.
As a generation of emperors, he is actually afraid of mice, and it is lost!
But unfortunately, in this palace, there are mostly concubines, maids, chambermaids, eunuchs and so on. Among these people, there are not many who are brave. Moreover, even if there was, Di Xin couldn't say clearly that the slave family was so afraid of mice and begged her sister to protect the slave family.
The rats in Chaoge City seemed to have identified Emperor Xin. Basically, every night, there would be waves of rats visiting Emperor Xin's palace, wreaking havoc and causing damage. Intimidating Di Xin often made Di Xin's heart beat wildly.
I don¡¯t know how long these miserable days passed, until one day, Emperor Xin accidentally heard a few servants talking about a master snake breeder in the palace, and then he finally ushered in The day when the slave family turns over and sings.
And this master of raising snakes is naturally the beautiful spy from the Sioux tribe, Su Daji. - Didn't finish reading?
