Zhang Zixing was amused when he saw Jiang Ziya's cheerful look on his face: If he hadn't sent Han Bao to secretly help him, let alone later burned Pipa Jing, Jiang Ziya might not have been Pipa Jing's opponent even in the Ming Guan.
After Zhang Zixing had a discussion with Jiang Ziya in the Xianqing Hall, he had a new understanding of the future Prime Minister of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Jiang Ziya was not an incompetent mediocre person like in the book. He did have his own unique insights into internal affairs and country governance.
, As for the military aspect, talking about military affairs on paper is meaningless, so Zhang Zixing did not ask any more questions.
After learning about Jiang Ziya's abilities, Zhang Zixing became more certain about his plan. He did not send Jiang Ziya to Qintian Prison as in the book, but instead made him a middle-level doctor, assisting the Prime Minister in handling the government affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works.
.
From a commoner to a powerful official, Jiang Ziya had reached the sky in one step, and he was overjoyed to express his gratitude.
After returning to the villa, Song Yiren, who learned the news, held a grand banquet for him, and relatives and friends came to congratulate him.
In the Wa Palace, the Empress Nuwa was meditating. Suddenly, a maid reported: "The nine-tailed fox lit the incense of the letter. I have something important to ask the Empress for decision."
Nuwa Empress frowned: "This fox demon really doesn't know the importance of it. The letter incense can be used for thirty-three days, and can only be used three times in total. I already knew about the matter of Yun Zhongzi last time and I will teach the saint, so Yun
Zhongzi retreated to think about her past, but today the letter was rekindled. I wonder what happened? Could it be that Yun Zhongzi came to trouble her again? "
As she spoke, she swiped her finger, and a crystal mirror appeared in the sky. The image inside was Daji kneeling in front of the incense table.
When Daji saw the empress, she immediately cried and worshiped: "Empress! Sister Pipa has been harmed!"
Nuwa was shocked and asked: "Who did it? So bold?"
When Daji revealed that the murderer was Jiang Ziya, a member of Yuxu's family, the corners of Nuwa's eyes twitched and she said coldly: "You can go alone, I have my own thoughts on this matter."
After the crystal mirror disappeared, Nuwa Empress did not care to maintain her manners, stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "It's about teaching again! Yuanshi, what a good thing you did! Last time, the cloud neutron almost destroyed the demon fox, and now the Pipa spirit has come again.
The disaster is in the hands of Jiang Ziya! I sent three demons into the palace just to destroy the luck of the great Shang Dynasty. At the beginning, you three religions jointly agreed to enshrine the gods, use the number of days to prosper and destroy the Shang Dynasty, and use the human world to eliminate the calamity. Why?
What is the purpose of obstructing us today?"
The more Nuwa thought about it, the angrier she became, and she ordered: "Boy, let's go to the Yuxu Palace in Kunlun."
The young girl timidly replied: "Your Majesty, Caiyun Boy has been banished from the palace by your Majesty, and now Jinfeng is here to serve you."
Empress Nuwa's words were also a habitual mistake. When she mentioned Caiyun Boy, the empress thought of what the saint of the Bajing Palace people's religion said here that day, and she forcibly stopped again.
"Could it be that you want to have both sides, and that you are the only one who can explain and teach the destiny of the world?" Nuwa said to herself: "The way of heaven is impermanent and unpredictable. I'd like to see what you have planned!"
Not to mention that Empress Nuwa was suspicious of herself in the Wa Palace, but Jiang Ziya went smoothly in Chaoge and could be said to have prospered.
Zhang Zixing appointed him as the middle doctor to assist Bigan in the work of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Bigan received Zhang Zixing's instructions and took great care of Jiang Ziya. After Jiang Ziya was trained for a period of time, his talent in government affairs gradually emerged and he managed the affairs smoothly.
Well organized. Seeing Jiang Ziya's old age, Bigan originally thought that the emperor only valued his Taoist skills. He didn't expect that this old man had such internal affairs ability. He could understand many things at a glance, and could even draw inferences from one instance. Not only was he more energetic than those young officials,
Moreover, he is mature, steady and well-organized, making him even more powerful than an old fox who has been in politics for many years.
Bigan admired Jiang Ziya's talent very much and praised him profusely in front of Zhang Zixing. The officials had also heard about Jiang Ziya's deeds and thought that he was just a charlatan who gained the king's favor with his deceptive Taoist skills. Unexpectedly,
Even the always shrewd Abican praised him so much that he couldn't help but re-examine the warlock, and many factions regarded him as a target to win over.
However, the emperor's favor for Jiang Ziya went far beyond that.
In a short period of time, Jiang Ziya's political achievements were outstanding and he won a lot of political capital. Although Jiang Ziya's achievements were indeed understandable, it was obvious at a glance that these opportunities were given by "the superiors" for the purpose of cultivation and support. Officialdom
But no matter how strong his ability is, it is useless if he does not have a stage to perform. The biggest reason why Jiang Ziya can achieve this is because of the emperor's attention.
Sure enough, not long after, Jiang Ziya, the middle doctor, was promoted to senior doctor due to his outstanding achievements. This speed of promotion was unparalleled except for Fei Zhong who jumped directly from junior doctor to senior doctor. Those young and middle-aged officials who are in the prime of life can't match it.
Jealousy and hatred for this old man, many people jumped out to accuse Jiang Ziya of being of humble origin and having learned unknown skills, so he could not be reused. The emperor was not angry and just allowed the opposition to elect a representative to deal with internal affairs projects.
For the title, they competed with Jiang Ziya, but the opposition was defeated miserably and had to remain silent. After this incident, the ministers had a new understanding of Jiang Ziya's talent, and in connection with the emperor's trust, they secretly speculated whether there would be more in the future.
During the reign of the late Emperor Wu Ding, he was a commoner prime minister like Fu Shuo.
Song Yiren was very pleased to see whether his brother was doing well and in a high position. When Ma saw that her husband had become such a high official, he stopped nagging and became more virtuous and respectful. Jiang Ziya himself knew the emperor's favor and was secretly grateful.
, Master Xindao was indeed right. Although he was not destined to be an immortal, he was destined to be rich and noble in the world.
Daji hated Jiang Ziya deeply, but because she was concerned about his teaching background, she did not dare to act rashly for a while. In addition, the emperor trusted him very much and entrusted him with important tasks, so she decided to tolerate it for the time being and take revenge when the time was ripe.
After burning the jade pipa spirit, Zhang Zixing deliberately pretended to remember Daji's adopted sister, and asked some questions with concern, saying that he wanted to take some time to visit the courtyard with Daji.
How did Daji know that all this was planned by the emperor in advance? Hearing this, she couldn't help but feel depressed: If the emperor had brought up this matter earlier, Pipa Jing would not have died in Jiang Ziya's hands. Fortunately, Pipa Jing's identity was not exposed until his death.
, and when she left the courtyard that day, she only said she had something important to do, so Daji told Zhang Zixing that her adopted sister had something urgent at home and she had to go back and let her say goodbye on her behalf.
Zhang Zixing showed a regretful expression and asked about the name of her "sworn sister". Daji had an idea and said the name of the nine-headed pheasant spirit Ximei, but she did not notice the meaningful smile on Zhang Zixing's face.
However, when Pipa Jing entered the palace that day, the military emergency reported by the chamberlain was not entirely an excuse. After the drought crisis was resolved, Zhang Zixing ordered various places to reduce taxes and recuperate, while the east and north groups led by Huang Feihu and Chonghou Hu
The army that suppressed the rebellion ended their rest and continued to conquer King Ping Ling and Yuan Futong. Originally, in the book, it was heard that when Taishi pacified King Ping Ling, it was quite smooth, and he returned to the court soon, but this time Huang Feihu encountered a big problem.
The obstacles were first the drought that forced a truce, and then the encounter with the powerful strangers under King Ping Ling, who used Taoism to capture Ji Kang alive. Fortunately, Hong Jin used the art of the flag gate to capture the vanguard of the Eastern Navy, and then exchanged horses for generals and returned
Ji Kang. The two sides fought many fierce battles and suffered casualties on each other. As Huang Feihu went deep into the army alone, although there were supplies and food provided by some princes, over time, the logistics would inevitably be in trouble, so he asked Chaoge for reinforcements.
On the contrary, when the Chonghou Hu brothers fought against Yuan Futong, they won consecutive battles and completely quelled Yuan Futong's rebellion. Yuan Futong was originally a prince under Chonghou Hu, but now he rebelled. Chonghou Hu consciously lost face in front of the emperor and wiped out the whole country.
With the power of the emperor, he launched a massive conquest. Because the emperor succeeded in praying for rain, all directions were convinced by his mighty virtue. In those rebellious vassal states, the people's hearts were floating. The people said that the emperor was protected by God. To rebel against the emperor was to defy heaven and would be punished by heaven. There were a few
The fanatical people and officials of the vassal states even opened the city gates to welcome the counter-rebellion army. Not long after, the 72-way rebel vassal alliance collapsed. In a head-on confrontation, Chonghou Hu defeated the main force of the rebel army.
, even Yuan Futong himself was blinded by the iron-billed condor used by Chongheihu. In the end, the city of Cuicheng, his old nest, was destroyed, and Yuan Futong was forced to commit suicide, and his entire family was destroyed by Chonghouhu.
The Chong brothers who succeeded in quelling the rebellion were rewarded and encouraged by the emperor, and they returned to their respective territories without showing any signs of it.
Zhang Zixing did not blame Huang Feihu for his unfavorable campaign. He knew very well that in the world of gods, some special factors could often influence the battle situation, which was not the same as conventional combat. He immediately planned to allocate grain and grass supplies and ordered the newly surrendered Zheng Lunbu
Zheng Lun was escorted forward on the same day and obeyed orders under Huang Feihu. Zheng Lun knew that this was the emperor's trust, so he quickly concentrated on his job as a grain inspector.
At this time, Ji Li from the Talent Recruitment Hall once again received good news. Three heroes who were proficient in Taoism came to seek refuge. Since there was a precedent of Ying Long last time, Ji Li was very cautious this time. After some insinuations, he determined that the three
It is only sincerity that one can submit to the emperor.
When Zhang Zixing saw the names of the three people, he immediately became energetic and quickly ordered Ji Li to lead the three of them to Zhaoxuan Hall to meet the saint.
The three of them followed Ji Li to the palace. When they saw the emperor sitting on the dragon throne, they quickly saluted: "Caomin Yuan Hong, Gao Ming, Gao Jue, bow to the beauty of Long live the sky!"
