Chapter 111. Ji Chang Tuogu, Jiang Shang cuts cause and effect!(1/2)
Xiqi.
King Wen's illness became increasingly serious day by day.
If it continues to increase or decrease, look at the danger.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty paid greetings and visited him, not just for one day.
At this time, Shen Gongbao knew that Ji Chang's life was approaching and his death was approaching, so he was full of satisfaction and planning the next steps.
——Of course, in order to prevent this guy from causing any trouble before his death, he has made no less than a hundred plans based on possible situations.
Now all we have to do is wait for the current top leader of Xiqi to stretch out his legs and curl up his braids.
Just then.
King Wen sent an edict: "Xuan Prime Minister enters the palace."
I have been called upon frequently recently.
But this time it's different.
Shen Gongbao had a hunch that Ji Changxuan entered the palace this time to settle the funeral arrangements.
really!
Wait for Shen Gongbao to enter the inner hall.
He said: "Veteran Jiang Shang has entered the inner hall according to the order to greet the king. Are you okay?"
Na Jichang immediately said: "It's no big deal that I'm calling you here now. I'm just living alone in the northwest, sitting in charge of Duifang, and commanding the heads of two hundred princes and towns. I'm deeply grateful for the divine grace."
"Although the current situation is chaotic, Gu et al. and King Chaoge still have the status of monarchs and ministers, and they have not deviated from each other. Although I attacked Hou Hu alone, I killed the rebels and returned, but I was comfortable on the outside but really timid in my heart."
"Although everyone can punish rebellious officials and traitors, now that the Ming Dynasty is above you, if you do not report to the emperor but kill them on your own, you are acting on your own."
"Kang Gu has the same title as Hou Hu, and he specializes in his own skills. This is a serious crime. After Hou Hu committed suicide, Kuang Gu heard the sound of crying every night, and when he closed his eyes, Hou Hu stood in front of the bed..."
"I think I can't stand in the world for a long time. I invite you to come in today. I have one thing to say, don't let it go."
At this point, he paused and continued: "If after my death, even if King Chao Ge continues to be evil, the Prime Minister should also advise the new king not to listen to the instigation of the princes and use his ministers to attack the king."
The end.
He also had a pleading look on his face.
He said to Shen Gongbao: "If the Prime Minister violates Gu's words, it will be difficult to meet him in the dark."
After saying this, tears streamed down his face.
Shen Gongbao: "..."
Don't know how to say it.
What you said sounds weird.
What does it mean to not meet in the dark?
Although I, Shen Gongbao, am not good at cultivation, I am still an immortal in the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.
Without the influence of external factors, life span is unlimited and will last forever.
Are you trying to curse me to death by saying this?
And even if you say this... I've already decided on this Yin Shang!
But thinking that this man was about to die, Shen Gongbao felt that he should do something good.
Then he said some words from Ji Chang: "I am favored by you and hold a high position, so I dare not accept orders. If you disobey your words, it will be disloyal."
Um.
Anyway, Pindao has never been loyal to you.
Even if I lose you, it doesn't matter.
As for Senior Brother Ziya’s reputation...
As long as the credit is great enough, what does it mean to violate a dead man's last words? It doesn't matter~~
…
This is also the time.
Suddenly, Prince Ji Fa came into the palace to greet him.
When King Wen saw Ji Fa arriving, his face showed joy.
"My son is here to fulfill his lonely wish."
Then he said to Ji Fa: "After I die, my son will be young and I am afraid that he will listen to other people's words and carry out wanton conquests."
"Even if the king of Chao Ge is immoral, he must not commit any wrongdoing and commit regicide in the name of becoming a minister."
After thinking for a while, he said: "Come here and worship Ziya as your father. Morning and night, you will listen to your instructions. Today, I listen to the Prime Minister. I am listening to you alone. You can ask the Prime Minister to sit down and worship him."
Ji Fa asked Shen Gongbao to turn over and worship him as his father.
Shen Gongbao accepted it calmly.
What?!
Are you asking if it is shameful to act as a father to someone else despite his identity?
What’s a face? Can it be eaten?
Ji Chang ordered Ji Fa to worship his senior brother as his father. It was obvious that he wanted Ji Fa to become the next King of Xiqi. He had the intention of entrusting him with an orphan. Pindao was his senior brother's spokesperson in the world. Walker...
Once again, he was supporting Zhou on behalf of his senior brother, and now this incarnation is also carrying his senior brother's skin, so he can accept it as he wishes.
Then he pretended to be excited and said some extravagant words:
"I have received great kindness from your Majesty, but even though my liver, brains, and bones were shattered and I sacrificed my life, it is not enough to repay the country's kindness!"
"Your Majesty, please don't worry about your ministers. You should take care of your dragon body and it will heal on its own soon!"
"..."
King Wen knew that these were words of comfort.
But when I heard it, it was pleasant to my ears.
It was said that his son Ji Fa said: "Although the Yin Shang Dynasty is unruly, we are ministers and must abide by our duties and do not overstep our bounds and ridicule future generations."
"After I leave, if you love your brothers and show compassion to all people, I will die without hatred."
He also carefully warned: "Don't be lazy when you see good things, don't be suspicious of doing what is right, and don't go where you don't go. These three are the way to cultivate yourself and the general strategy for governing the country and bringing peace to the people."
Ji Fa paid homage again and accepted the order.
Shen Gongbao was watching.
Although he has never had such an experience, his Taoist mind has been solid since his practice, but seeing such a scene of life and death at this moment, his heart was slightly touched...
——Parents who love their children have far-reaching plans... Nothing like this.
…
"Thanks to the immortal grace of King Zhou, I will no longer be able to see the sky and give direct advice, and I will no longer be able to perform Bagua Youli to transform the people!"
It was midwinter in the twentieth year of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty.
Ji Chang suddenly sat up while he was dying.
He snored, then died at the age of ninety-seven.
…
Let's talk about Ji Chang's death, and the funeral was held at the White Tiger Palace.
All the officials discussed the succession.
Shen Gongbao led his ministers to accept the throne of Ji Fa as the heir to the throne of Xibo.
After King Wu had buried his father, he honored Shen Gongbao as his father-in-law, and the remaining officials were each given one rank.
The monarch and his ministers work together, continue to tell the story, and fully comply with the policies of the previous king.
The vassal states from all directions paid tribute to the Western Territory.
The princes of the two hundred towns were all led to become kings.
(ps:
Shen Gongbao: It doesn’t matter who Ji Chang’s successor is. Anyway, as long as Pindao is there, Xiqi cannot lose.)
At that time, Han Rong, the chief military officer of Sishui Pass, received a report from the side that King Wen was dead, and Jiang Shang appointed his eldest son Ji Fa as King Wu.
Han Rong was shocked and hurriedly sent officials to Chao Ge to play something.
When the memorial was prepared for business, the senior official Yao Zhong and His Highness Wei Zi discussed the following:
Ji Fa proclaimed himself King Wu. His ambition was not small and he intended to plot rebellion. This matter must be reported.
Wei Zi said: "Mr. Yao, when all the princes in the world see such debauchery, treachery and loyalty, they all have the intention of being without a king. Now that Ji Fa has established himself as King Wu, soon there will be an uproar in the mountains and rivers, disrupting the world."
