On the third day after the crown prince's canonization ceremony, Emperor Yi, who was already ill, suddenly became worse. His symptoms of chest pain and hemoptysis became more and more frequent, and sometimes he could not even speak. As the prince, Zhang Zixing has always been
She stayed with him and took good care of him. According to the analysis of Super Brain, Di Yi may be suffering from severe heart failure.
Super Brain's database provides several treatment options, but in this era of extremely backward technology and medical standards, not to mention heart transplantation or organ reconstruction surgery, even special medicines to curb the disease cannot be manufactured. The herbs that can be collected
There are too few types and their effects are quite limited, so we can only watch as Di Yi's condition gets worse and worse.
Five days later, Emperor Yi, the emperor of the generation, finally passed away. Before his death, he entrusted himself to Grand Master Wen Zhong and Prime Minister Shang Rong. Zhang Zixing couldn't help but feel sad as she recalled the sincere fatherly love she felt from this "temporary" father.
After the national mourning, Zhang Zixing officially ascended the throne as emperor. The complicated and tiring etiquette and ceremonies during this period need not be described in detail. This time, the princes from all walks of life, from congratulations on the crown prince's enthronement to the funeral of the emperor's death, to the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor, all went through it together and reflected on it.
Made many trips.
Emperor Yi was fifty-two years old and had reigned for twenty years. He died young, and Prince Xin ascended the throne at the age of twenty-four. This seems to be different from the history (or novels) recorded in Super Brain, but Zhang Zixing
He didn't pay too much attention to it, the bigger the difference, the better - changing his fate against the will of heaven was exactly what he hoped for, and next, Dashang would undergo a huge change under the rule of the new emperor.
As soon as Zhang Zixing ascended the throne, he announced that he would name himself Emperor Zhou (the same as the "Shou" of King Shou), and changed the capital of Moyi to Chaoge - he wanted to turn the wheel of fortune around in the name of King Zhou, who would be reviled by future generations.
Zhang Zixing was newly appointed to the throne, and Emperor Yi repeatedly asked him before his death. He knew that reforms should not be rushed. The first task was to consolidate the throne, control the military power, win over people's hearts, and gradually establish his own "direct troops" in the court, and promulgate reforms in the future.
Government orders will be much smoother.
Jiang Wenqiang, the original wife of King Shou, was named the Queen of the Middle Palace and commanded all the concubines in the harem (there were only three); Yang Jiu was named the Noble Concubine of the Xinqing Palace; Huang Feiyan, who was given a marriage by the late emperor, was also included in the palace and named the Noble Concubine of the West Palace.
The male and female whips in the hands of Grand Master Wen Zhong were given the title of double whips that govern the country. They can blame the king for his mistakes and beat the treacherous ministers below. He also gave them the privilege of beheading them first and then reporting them. This method was learned by Zhang Zixing from the Tang Dynasty. In this era,
It was absolutely an unimaginable privilege, which made Wen Zhong extremely grateful, and he was loyal to Zhang Zixing from then on.
Huang Gun, the general of Wuwei, knew that he was a member of the Wei family during the late emperor's time. Now that his daughter was the imperial concubine, he should avoid suspicion, so he submitted his resignation and returned to his old camp. Zhang Zixing agreed, but he promoted his son Huang Feihu to the throne.
He became King Wucheng of Zhenguo and commanded the three armies. Huang Gun knew that this was the emperor's special favor to the Huang family. Remembering that he had strongly advised Emperor Yi to make his eldest son Qi the crown prince, he couldn't help but feel ashamed and secretly taught Yu's son to die in obedience to the emperor in order to repay his kindness.
Huang Feihu has always admired Zhang Zixing. He once "privately" gave him a new weapon, the Double-Moon Spear, and he was also able to teach many mysterious military techniques to later generations. The training results were quite remarkable. He had long been grateful. After hearing his father's instructions, he even
He is dedicated to assisting the new emperor.
Since then, Dashang's military power has been completely controlled by Zhang Zixing.
Prime Minister Shang Rong has become a highly respected minister. In addition to maintaining all duties as usual, he is also given a "gold medal for immunity from death". No matter what crime he commits, even if he is rebellious and rebellious, he can avoid death once. Shang Rong was excited and took the hand with trembling hands.
After passing the gold medal, kowtow until the forehead bleeds.
Each prince has different levels of material rewards. To the surprise of many people, Jiang Wenhuan, the son of Dongbohou and the brother of the queen, was named the general of the auxiliary country, assisting Huang Feihu in controlling the Shang army. Jiang Huanchu instinctively felt that this was a bit of a blow to his son.
Staying in Chaoge as a hostage meant that his son was so highly valued by the emperor and was named a general with military power, so the idea of "hostage" seemed a bit unreasonable.
These days, the emperor is supreme and his orders cannot be violated. Although Jiang Huanchu has strong family values, it is difficult to refuse directly. Seeing his son's complacent look, Jiang Huanchu suddenly felt as if he had aged a lot. He sighed secretly and did not raise any objections.
After ascending to the throne, Zhang Zixing, after careful consideration, first made some design improvements to the existing farm tools and popularized the improved sharp bronze farm tools. At the same time, he abolished the abandonment system (abandoning wasteland) and changed it to a fallow system, which was managed and guided by designated officials.
Agricultural production has greatly improved agriculture.
In terms of industry, since the Shang Dynasty was dominated by handicrafts, the most developed industries were bronze casting, pottery and bone making. Zhang Zixing knew the importance of keeping technology confidential and controlled the bronze casting industry in the name of the government.
A large number of outstanding craftsmen were selected and entered into the newly established official "Shen Weapon Workshop" to specialize in making high-quality ordnance.
Unlike Emperor Yi who emphasized agriculture and neglected commerce, Zhang Zixing, who understood the importance of commerce, also established a commercial department specifically responsible for business development. The capable Prime Minister Bi Gan was in charge. Bigan was Emperor Yi's younger brother, with a superior mind and outstanding talents.
According to the system of the Shang Dynasty, the emperor's brothers also had the right to inherit, so Bigan, who was too outstanding, was always tabooed by Emperor Yi and was depressed. Zhang Zixing knew the loyalty and talent of this uncle Wang, so he specially summoned him to have a secret meeting in Zhaoxuan Hall.
All night. The next day, Wang Shu Bigan was dismissed from his original position by the emperor and "demoted" to the post of Director-General of Commerce. Many ministers complained about Bigan and asked the emperor to take back his orders, but they were rejected and reprimanded by the emperor.
.
Fei Zhong, who had always tried to please the King of Shou and made contributions to the throne, was promoted. He was promoted to a senior official and was responsible for liaison work with various princes. This was a lucrative job. No wonder Fei Zhong had a fat face.
I was happy all day long.
In fact, Fei Zhong knew clearly that this was a reward for his successful collection of military intelligence from various places. Of course, the new Majesty's warning to "keep secrets strictly" and his murderous eyes were always in his mind, making him shudder.
Zhong An made up his mind to work hard, firstly to live up to the emperor's trust, and secondly, to make achievements in order to gain greater benefits and promotion.
One thing Fei Zhong didn't know was that in the most important intelligence work, people like him were just one of the pawns. The real core was the secretly established special force "Tianying", and the person in charge was Zhang Zixing.
The dead soldier Sun Ao.
Among the four major princes, Chonghou Hu had already received the emperor's promise to "forever rule the north" and was happy to dominate and enjoy the land under his jurisdiction. The other three princes paid close attention to Chaoge's movements. Zhang Zixing worked hard to govern and sealed the great title.
Ministers, the reform and development matters were naturally not hidden from them. When they learned that Emperor Zhou re-appointed the jester Fei Zhong and demoted Wang Shu Bigan, Jiang Huanchu, who was far away in Donglu, could not help but frown and sigh, while the two great powers in the west and south
The princes secretly sneered. As for the Shen Weapon Workshop, the princes did not pay attention to it - in their territories, they have already mastered a large number of high-level craftsmen. When it comes to the casting level of bronze weapons, they are definitely above Chaoge.
.
Thanks to many favorable policies, the great merchants overcame many difficulties. After two years of development, the great merchants, industry, agriculture, and commerce developed rapidly. The economy was several times more prosperous than that of Emperor Yi, and the national strength was also increasing day by day. The ministers expressed great respect for the emperor.
Zhou was so impressed by Zhou's courage and wisdom that even those ministers who had opposed King Shou's becoming the crown prince were secretly ashamed and admired the late emperor's ability to know people. Only then did all the princes realize the talent of the new king, and they all imitated the development model of the Great Shang.
, the princes all over the world began competing for economic competition, but it was too late. Due to the lack of advanced economic acumen and management models, many policies seemed simple, but were not so easy to implement. The interests of many nobles became the biggest obstacle.
, just when the princes were worried, the great merchants were already far ahead of them.
Compared with the increasingly prosperous economic situation that is obvious to all, the development of Dashang's military power is much more secretive and much faster. Regarding the Shenbingfang, Zhang Zixing took measures to keep it secret for later generations: he built an area dedicated to craftsmen and their families.
They live in a special area, guard it with heavy troops, and register the names of the craftsmen and their families. If one person leaks the secret, everyone will be executed. At the same time, the treatment of the craftsmen is greatly improved, and they are given both power and grace to make them dedicated and concentrate on their work.
In terms of production, the assembly line method is adopted, and in conjunction with mold production, each component is produced in batches. The craftsmen only know how to make the accessories they are responsible for, but do not know what other batches of people are making. The assembly of ordnance is also done step by step.
On the one hand, it greatly improves the efficiency of production, and on the other hand, it also facilitates confidentiality. Personnel entering and leaving Shenbingfang are strictly interrogated and are strictly prohibited from carrying anything. The warehouse is even classified as a top-secret location. Without the order of the emperor, anyone who enters or exits without permission can be immediately blocked.
No one knows what amazing secrets there are in the Shen Weapon apart from some everyday weapons.
In terms of personal cultivation, Zhang Zixing is also going smoothly.
The addition of Huang Fei added another love interest to his Huang Di Su Nv Jing. On their wedding night, Huang Feiyan's shyness and reserve made Zhang Zixing even more excited. Although he did not have the so-called "virgin complex", and
The Jiang family and the Yang family were very loving, but in a sense, Huang Feiyan was the first woman who "completely" belonged to him, so she cherished it especially. In the pain intertwined with joy, Huang Feiyan finally succeeded in growing up from youth.
The young girl became a woman, and his unimaginable tenderness and lingering words of love made her feel unprecedented satisfaction and joy both physically and mentally.
Huang Feiyan, who had tasted various flavors for the first time and knew the taste of marrow, was inseparable with Zhang Zixing, and Zhang Zixing also did not neglect the two first wives. This future "faint king" confidently used the banner of double xiu and physical fitness, and was in love every night.
, traveling around and conquering the three palaces, it was such a joy.
