Please answer Fengshen, the Fengshen Yanyi of collapse The twenty-ninth chapter Chaoge Chengzi was abolished, and the mysterious bird roared in the golden hall.
The twenty-ninth chapter Chaoge Chengzi was abolished, and the mysterious bird roared in the golden hall.
Several famous slave owners in the court lowered their heads, their clothes and faces wet with cold sweat.
But it was really hard for them to dismiss all the slaves like Bigan.
Zi Shou looked at the obedient slave owners and felt a little bored, shook his head and said: "My dear friends, you don't have to act in such a childish manner, they have half the character of my great merchant."
After a pause, he spoke again: "Now that the importance of population is obvious, we have drawn up an edict to abolish human sacrifice and human sacrifice throughout the country. Anyone who dares to violate this rule will be killed regardless of their status or official position."
Several officials who had been under the spotlight wanted to object, but did not have the courage, so they could only hint at Shang Rong with their eyes.
Shang Rong also understood the spirit and led his ministers to remonstrate one after another.
"The princes from all over the world have no doubts about the sacrifice of human beings, and more and more princes use witchcraft and blessings to sacrifice to rule the subjects. If you take this strategy rashly, you may lose the heart of the princes. Now that the Beihai has begun to calm down, the people's minds are calm.
, I hope your Majesty will think twice before acting, this is a recipe for disaster!"
This is not entirely because Shang Rong does not support the abolition of human sacrifice. He has no interest in the shamans who like human sacrifice the most. It is just that this kind of thing does offend people, and it offends not ordinary people, but all kinds of people.
Road princes.
If you really want to do it, you have to find someone to take the blame. How can King Shang put it into practice?
For example, the two traitorous ministers Fei Zhong and Youhun are very suitable.
Shang Rong had a very good idea: "I will first persuade King Shang to give up. If he really doesn't want to give up, he will secretly ask Fei Zhongyouhun to implement the policy. All the responsibility will be thrown to them to confuse the saints. It will kill two birds with one stone. If anything happens,
Just kill them to apologize, they are traitors anyway."
But Zi Shou didn't appreciate it. Maybe he didn't see Shang Rong's intention, or maybe he saw it but didn't bother to do it.
He ignored Shang Rong and instead asked Wei Zi, the most vehement opponent: "Who do you think Brother Wang is sacrificing?"
Wei Zi replied: "I worship heaven and the gods in heaven and earth."
"What if we don't offer sacrifices?"
"Living animals is a method passed down by our ancestors. If we don't fear the wrath of the gods and punish the great merchants, our great merchant nation will not survive."
The moment Wei Ziqi said these words, Shang Rong was stunned. How dare you do this?
You must know that not long ago, Zi Shou announced that he would depose the emperor and proclaim himself the king of men. Wouldn't this make him angry?
"Hahaha! Why should we use living people to sacrifice to the sky?"
"Why? Why should the gods who are above us use human lives to worship them?"
"Now that all the dragon clans from all over the world are serving as officials in the imperial court, and the rains and winds are blowing smoothly all over Dashang, I wonder if offering sacrifices to the gods, to the emperor of heaven, to the heaven would be better than me issuing an imperial edict to the dragon king?"
"Since the abolition of human sacrifice will make the gods angry, then it's okay if the gods don't sacrifice it."
"According to my king's order, from now on, the great merchants will only worship the dragon clan of the four seas, and only worship the ancestors of humans. All other sacrifices to gods and heaven and earth will be abolished."
Zi Shou laughed out loud in anger, pulled out the Human Emperor Sword fiercely, and cut off the corner of the royal table in front of him with one strike.
The infinite power of humanity pressed on the opposing ministers. They who originally wanted to stand up to argue were suppressed by the power of humanity and were speechless for a long time.
Then he shouted: "Officials will talk about people's sacrifices again, and it is the same as this case!"
After saying this, he glanced at the officials. Many of them were already feeling guilty, and their hearts felt cold at the sight.
Only Wei Ziqi lowered his head and showed a faint smile.
"Since there is no one to object, the matter has been decided. The whole country is ordered to abolish human sacrifice and human sacrifice, and anyone who violates it will be executed!"
"Retreat!"
After saying this, Zishou ignored the panicked ministers, waved his dragon robe, and retreated directly from the court.
At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the black clouds were pressing down on the city, as if they were about to swallow up the entire Chaoge.
Thunder roared and roared in the sky, and countless lightning bolts loomed and flickered, making deafening sounds one after another.
An extremely thick thunder rushed down from the dark clouds, carrying a supreme aura of destruction and struck at the tallest and largest sky-high commercial flag in Chaoge City.
When the thunder roared, Zishou, who was standing less than ten meters away from the Qingtian merchant flag, raised his head and looked at the sky.
In response to the sound, a red black bird flew out from the Jinluan Palace and raised its head to the sky, letting out a phoenix cry.
The lightning, which was like a sword from the sky and wanted to destroy everything, was swallowed up in its belly. The dark clouds in the sky also disappeared without a trace with the sound of phoenixes, revealing the blue sky and white sun, with only a clear blue sky.
The black bird also disappeared from the Jinluan Palace again, as if it had never appeared before.
All the civil and military officials were stunned in the palace. After a while, they began to discuss anxiously, feeling extremely uneasy in their hearts.
The reason why they were unwilling to disband the slaves like Bigan was mainly to use the slaves for sacrifice. Now not only could human sacrifices be no longer possible, but even many of the original national sacrifices seemed to be abolished.
However, Jun Wu joked, the imperial edict had been decided, and the only person who could object, Grand Master Wen, was not in the court, and the remaining people really couldn't come up with any solution. They discussed it in twos and threes, and then left the court together.
The news of the abolition of human sacrifice also spread like wildfire, spreading throughout the streets and alleys of Chaoge.
In the eyes of the princes, nobles and even many common people, killing a lot of people to please God and the gods is a very profitable thing. Even if the gods are not happy, it is not a loss even if it buys peace of mind.
.
Previously, the princes and nobles were displeased by the fact that the son was declared to have been ordered to do so by heaven.
After all, if it weren't for destiny, wouldn't it mean that anyone with more ability than you could take your place?
What is the legitimacy for them to occupy high positions? Regardless of whether destiny exists or not, destiny has definitely brought them benefits, status, and wealth. How could it not exist? How could it not exist?
What about sacrifices?
Many people who watched the first live broadcast of Chaoge cursed in their hearts, you are a fool, you have attracted punishment from God and the saints, and revenge from Nuwa. Is this why you want to drag us into the water with you?
If you are not loved by the gods and heaven, you want us to follow you and not lose your protection? What a cruel idea!
Under the excitement of the crowd, the momentum was really huge.
Every day, there were piles of memorials like snow-capped mountains on the imperial table for review. They did not dare to persuade Zi Shou not to abolish human sacrifice, but they hoped to adopt a gentler method to gradually implement it. There was no need to be so rough.
If the king really doesn't like the sacrifice of humans and animals, then there is no need. Since his son took the throne, there has never been even one sacrifice of humans and animals, but why must he tell the princes?
There are also ministers who have the same idea as Shang Rong, who want to secretly plot against Chen Cang and pass the blame to his ministers, so that the great Shang State Zuo will not be at risk of instability.
It's just that they all misjudged Zi Shou's thoughts. He thought that it was never as simple as abolishing human sacrifice. This was just the mildest step in his plan. How could it be further eased?
What he really wanted to do was to only worship human ancestors and abolish all other sacrifices to gods, heaven and earth that he had argued with Wei Zi before.
And since he took the throne, he has carefully used slaves and civilians. If possible, it would be best to completely abolish slavery.
It turns out that the repeated use of slaves and civilians has led to various errands being messed up. Although there are reasons for the officials' disobedience, their lack of ability is the main reason.
But now the battle world and the personal points exchange mall finally gave him a glimmer of hope that this matter could be successful.
While thinking about the things in the court, Zishou looked into the distance: "I still hope that Brother Wang will not go to that step..."
ps: I overhauled the plot about the exchangeable items in the mall in the previous chapter. If you don’t read it, it will not affect the subsequent plot. However, if you are interested, I still recommend reading the previous chapter. I hope you have any opinions on this book.
Bring it up, or tell me directly, don't just abandon the book without saying a word.
