Time passed and Zicheng was born. Emperor Yi, the king of the Shang Kingdom, was overjoyed and granted amnesty to the whole world. Even humble slaves were treated to wine and meat on this day.
Of course, the names of Emperor Yi and Emperor Xin are different. It is not the name of the other person, but the name of the temple that is called by the descendants after death.
When he was alive, he did not have this name.
And Di Xin's "Xin" has a somewhat insulting meaning.
Xin means criminal law, the original meaning is the torture knife, sin, this temple name is an infamy.
But this is normal. Out of the last emperors, how many can have a good name?
When the Sheji artifact changed hands, the new dynasty naturally belittled the old owner to the extreme for the sake of the legitimacy of its own legal system.
As for the good and bad of people, in fact, a few sentences in history books can clearly explain it.
A huge country can never prosper because of one person's good or evil, or it can die because of one person's good or evil.
Not to mention anything else, as far as wine pools and meat forests are concerned, for an emperor, this amount of consumption is not even considered a luxury.
The real luxury is not drinking and eating meat, even if the wine and meat pile up in mountains, but fighting and building wonders...
As for ordinary people, it seems that wine pools and meat forests are more luxurious and wasteful.
And Zicheng, as said in history, was young but heroic. When he was young, he had the power of nine oxen and two tigers. He was also smart and eager to learn. More importantly, he was magnanimous and bright in his heart. When he was young, he was a king.
the wind.
However, this is normal. After all, Zicheng's origin is not ordinary.
If there is no doomsday that will follow, his existence will definitely rewrite history so that Shang will not die at his hands, and even Shang will prosper because of him.
After all, what Zicheng did in history, whether it was the abolition of slavery or the system of human burial, was ahead of its time.
As for the backlash from the nobles, with Zicheng's intelligence, since he dared to do it, he had absolute confidence.
Zhao Cheng followed Zicheng quietly, watching Zicheng's growth.
From childhood to adolescence, compared to being a king, Zicheng's side as Zhao Cheng undoubtedly has a bit of Zhao Cheng's carefree nature and does not like to be restrained.
In fact, Zicheng was not the eldest son. He had an elder brother Ziqi above him.
Therefore, after reaching adulthood, Zicheng left the palace, changed his appearance, became anonymous, and became a knight-errant.
Punish evil and promote good, and use the sword to fight in the world.
This is the age when youth is most energetic, one person has a sword and a thin horse, fighting swords in the rivers and lakes. This is undoubtedly full of some feelings that belong to modern people.
Although Zicheng does not have the memory of modern times, it is Zhao Cheng's side after all. Certain things still exist even if the time and space of heaven and earth are changed and the past is forgotten.
And soon, Zi Cheng gained a certain reputation.
He killed bullies, beheaded bandits, and also killed some slave owners who did all kinds of evil, and gave their coins and grain to the poor and slaves.
Of course, this only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. If a slave owner dies, a new slave owner will still be born. No matter how many people are killed, it will be useless, but at least there will be a temporary light.
At this age, Zicheng just felt that there was a problem in this country, but he did not think about what the problem was.
He just lamented that there were so many evil people that they could be killed and beheaded endlessly!
In the process, he also met some like-minded partners. Among them, there was one with the highest talent, a young man about the same age as Zicheng. The young man was born as a slave and was born with a sword body and a sword heart.
When he was five years old, he killed his slave owner in a rage, ran away, and wandered around the world ever since.
Slaves do not have surnames, so when they got older, this young man gave himself a name so that he could be Hao!
During that time, a group of people traveled around the world, which was very satisfying, and at the same time, the organization continued to grow.
Later, they even established an organization called "Yin", which specialized in killing evil people, and Hao was elected as the leader of the organization.
And it was also in this process that Zicheng met his confidante, Da.
Da is also a descendant of slaves, so she has no surname, only a given name.
However, Da had a very powerful master who was a famous swordsman in this era.
One man and one sword can break through hundreds of armors.
In this era, extraordinary swordsmanship has just emerged, and the upper limit is far from as high as that of later generations. There is no strong man who can wipe out the enemy's country.
Zicheng and Da met each other, one was a young swordsman and the other was a stunning chivalrous woman, chivalrous and tender.
So, they either kill evildoers, act chivalrously, or indulge in the mountains and rivers, one person dances the sword, the other plays the harp, they can be called a couple of gods and immortals.
This period of time was undoubtedly Zicheng's happiest time.
Everything is so perfect.
If there was no brother Zicheng, Ziqi suddenly died of illness, and Emperor Yi also became seriously ill subsequently. The story of the swordsman and the chivalrous girl would undoubtedly have been complete.
However, Da's birth was not accidental. Zhao Cheng also saw a distant cause in the other party, but he couldn't find the source yet.
This made Zhao Cheng thoughtful.
After that, Zicheng ascended the throne and became king, working hard to govern.
At the same time, Da also married into the palace.
As time goes by, Shang's territory continues to expand.
In order to expand the territory, Zicheng made the same mistake as the later Emperor Qin, that is, most of the domestic troops were placed on the border.
If it is internally stable, there will be no problem with such a decision.
But the reality is that the former Hao changed his original intention and his ambitions grew day by day. Later, he changed "hidden" to heaven. His purpose was no longer to punish evil and promote good, but to become a god above humans!
And Hao also knew deeply that his former partner, Zicheng, would be the biggest obstacle to his dominance.
Thus, a conspiracy began to brew.
Taking advantage of Zicheng's reform and the unrest among the nobles in the country, Hao led some strange people from heaven to help a small country named "Zhou" raise an army.
The flames of war broke out. Fanned by the nobles who were already dissatisfied with the reform, the flames of war soon swept across the world, and even finally came to the royal capital.
As for Zicheng, he can actually leave. With his swordsmanship, it is not difficult to escape as long as he abandons his country.
It's not that he can't, it's that he doesn't want to.
Zhao Cheng watched Zicheng charge into the enemy's formation, one person breaking through more than three thousand armors, consuming a lot of physical strength.
It was only then that Hao, who claimed to be the god of heaven, finally appeared and dared to face his old friend in front of him.
The existence of Hao is a variable that Zicheng did not expect.
"Hao, you deceived me!"
"Before this, I didn't believe that there were people in this world who were inherently evil."
Under the ancient tower city, the ground was covered with blood and bones.
Zicheng, however, stared at his old friend in front of him, and for the first time he deeply felt the undisguised evil in the other person's spiritual world.
Why did Zicheng not believe that Hao would betray before this?!
Because in the Shang Kingdom, Hao was inferior to one person and superior to tens of thousands of people. In fact, Zicheng never regarded him as a subordinate, but as a Taoist friend who worked together for his ideals.
According to normal logic, Hao should not betray and has no reason to betray.
Just like a person who obviously can inherit a lot of wealth and become a rich man as long as he does nothing, but that person does not hesitate to take risks in order to become a rich man.
This is illogical.
The huge emotional stimulation also caused vague memory fragments to appear in Zicheng's mind.
It was a world of high-rise buildings and bustling traffic, a world called modernity...
As for Zhao Cheng, who had always been a bystander, his expression changed for the first time.
