Chapter 401 "Yin Jiao" and "Yin Hong"! Wu Jian and Anti Wu Jian
Time flies, and a lot of things happened in the past few months.
Sanxiao's injuries have healed, and he has also gained the strange power of the supreme demonic body. Although Hunyuan Jindou and Jinjiajian cannot be completely repaired for a while, his own strength has made a big leap.
Biyun Tong'er, who was recovering from his injuries on Jin'ao Island, finally returned to his roots, recovered and left isolation, and became very familiar with Caiyun Tong'er and Qingquan, his "peers" on the island. When he left, he burst into tears, which made people feel sad. Unable to bear it, Zhang Zixing discussed with Princess Longji and decided to let Biyun Tong'er stay on Jin'ao Island first, and then move to Xiaoyao Immortal Mansion together in the future.
With the help of Wu Zhiqi's bones and the True Flame Pearl, and with the help of Kong Xuan and Taoist Duobao, Yuan Hong finally merged water and fire into one, and his strength was greatly improved. He is currently under the guidance of Taoist Duobao. , further comprehending the mysteries of the "Kanli Heart Sutra". Bingxue experienced several adventures in the base, and finally completely swallowed up the energy of the Jade Void Seal, and his body seemed to have undergone even more peculiar changes.
In the Biyou Palace, the soul-returning formation has been completely arranged with the help of Our Lady of Wudang, who is best at formations. Under the instruction of the leader of Tongtian, Our Lady of Wudang has also set up several protective formations outside and presided over it herself. , even a group of fellow disciples in Biyou Palace could not get close. With the help of the Soul Returning Formation, the power of the three emperors' daily power consumption was greatly reduced, and their power was gradually restored.
Deng Chanyu of Sanshanguan was finally looking forward to the arrival of "Xiaoyaozi". Zhang Zixing did not hide it anymore and revealed his identity to Deng Jiugong. Only then did Deng Jiugong know that this national preceptor was actually the "supreme leader" the Great Shang Emperor himself, and he immediately Zhang Zixing knew that Deng Jiugong loved his daughter and was loyal, so he proposed to him that the current situation was delicate and it was not appropriate to make it public, so he wanted to secretly marry Deng Chanyu as Xiaoyaozi, and then announce it to the world in the future. Deng Jiugong obeyed. Zhang Zixing immediately He wrote a secret edict, made Deng Jiugong the head of the country, and gave him face-to-face instructions on the matter of Sanshan Pass. Deng Jiugong was surprised at first, and then looked at Zhang Zixing's affirmative eyes and bowed to accept the order. That night, Zhang Zixing and Deng Chanyu held a secret wedding, and they fell in love all night long. The next day, Deng Chanyu secretly returned to Chaoge. Except for Deng Jiugong, no one else in Sanshanguan knew about it. From then on, Deng Chanyu officially became a member of Zhang Zixing's harem.
On the other hand, Jifa of the Western Zhou Dynasty increased taxes on the nobles and slave owners of Xiqi in the name of national calamity. At the same time, under Feng Chong's suggestion, he issued a large number of "treasury bonds" and ordered the princes in the southwest and southwest to buy them, promising to do so in the future. He repaid it several times. Ji Fa, who had tried every means to accumulate a large amount of property, spent all his money on the production of new weapons and army construction. Although the cost was huge, the results were very gratifying. Many people saw it and the Western Zhou Dynasty An unprecedented war is brewing in a desperate manner. In response to this, Dashang not only strengthened the defense forces at each pass, but Grand Master Wen Zhong once again personally sat at Sishui Pass and mobilized a large number of soldiers and horses, which seemed to mean taking the lead.
At this time, two long-lost "acquaintances" appeared in Chaoge. The arrival of these two people could be said to be both unexpected and expected by Zhang Zixing - Zijiao and Zihong!
After Zijiao and Zihong experienced the Ximei Rebellion, one was expelled and the other took the initiative to escape. Now, they actually returned to Chaoge at the same time.
At that time, Zihong molested Huang Feihu's wife Jia, forcing Huang Feihu to rebel, and then fled in fear of crime. Although Zihong's move was nothing compared to Zijiao's serious crime of "matricide", Zhang Zixing knew that Zihong was under the influence of Ximei
Under the control of Mei Shu, he lost his nature, and the doubles who killed Jiang Wenqiang and the three others were also caused by the magic. However, Zijiao was jealous of his elder brother, and then the incident of molesting Jia happened. Although it was partly due to Ximei, most of it was due to
own disadvantages.
In the original work, although Yin Hong and Yin Jiao both betrayed their oaths, aided the tyrants, and eventually died, there are still differences between the two. When they were young, the two brothers had a deep love for each other, but they were rescued by the two immortals of the Chan Cult and adopted as disciples.
, after growing up, his character changed.
Yin Hong went down the mountain first, and was deceived by Shen Gongbao. He helped Zhou conquer the Zhou Dynasty, and was finally led into Tai Chi and burned to death. Shen Gongbao's words to seduce him at that time were "he will achieve great things in the long run", but Yin Hong "listened to Shen Gongbao's words and changed the words of Chi Jingzheng"
"I lost my mind." When mentioning the revenge of Empress Jiang, Shen Gongbao said again, "You have become the world." Regardless of revenge, Yin Hong immediately broke his oath without hesitation. It can be seen that the great cause and the world are about Yin Hong's betrayal.
the biggest factor.
On the other hand, Yin Jiao was unmoved no matter how hard Shen Gongbao lobbied. He was very resolute when he said "I will obey my orders despite difficulties", but then when Shen Gongbao talked about his brother Yin Hong being turned into ashes by Tai Chi diagram, he had "
Jiang Shang and I have vowed to be incompatible and will definitely avenge my brother. From this analysis, Yin Jiao is indeed a person who values love and is definitely not the same as Yin Hong, who values profit.
In this world, Zijiao's performance is indeed better than that of Zihong. At that time, Zijiao knew that he had caused a big disaster and did not rely on the jade talisman given by Guangchengzi to escape. Instead, he stayed and wanted to die to apologize to his father.
While Zihong escaped early in the morning, the difference is self-evident.
When Zhang Zixing heard the news about Zijiao and Zihong's request for an audience, he was discussing matters with the ministers in the Nine Rooms Hall, and he looked thoughtful at the moment.
Bigan said: "The two princes were young and ignorant and made mistakes, but after all, they are your majesty's flesh and blood and heirs of the clan. Now that they are back, they must be repenting of the past. Why don't your majesty give them a chance?"
Meibo also said: "Although your Majesty is in the prime of life, he has been childless since the two princes. Why don't your Majesty temporarily absolve the two princes of their sins and conduct a careful inspection. If you are sure that you have changed your mind, you can choose the best one and make him the prince."
, so that the position of crown prince is vacant."
Meibo's words were very bold. Emperor Yi only established the crown prince in his later years when he was seriously ill. Now that Zhang Zixing is in good health and far better than the late emperor, Meibo actually said so bluntly that he was "offending". Many people were worried about him.
Zhang Zixing knows that people in this era attach great importance to heir inheritance, and as the emperor, except for his two cheap sons Zijiao and Zihong, there has been no one in the harem in recent years, so the long-vacant position of crown prince has become the target of many courtiers.
Heart disease. Zhang Zixing did not blame Uncle Mei. Anyway, he wanted to see what the purpose of Chanjiao was in letting these two people "come out of the mountain", so he immediately announced that they would enter the palace.
When Mabel saw that he had not been convicted, he secretly praised that the lord had indeed regained his former wisdom, and immediately took the initiative to accuse him and returned to his original position.
Zijiao and Zihong entered the nine-room hall, called themselves sinners, and paid homage to the emperor.
Zhang Zixing saw that the appearance and figure of the two people had changed, and they seemed to have grown a lot, so he asked: "Since you two are guilty, why don't you reflect in a remote place and why do you come back to Chaoge? "
Zijiao replied: "My son and his younger brother made big mistakes back then, and they often reflected on their mistakes and regretted them endlessly. Later, fortunately, they had the opportunity to learn from two strangers and learned their skills. Now I heard that Ji Fa, the traitorous minister in the Western Zhou Dynasty, was ready to make a move. In order to cause chaos again, the two of them made up their minds to come to court and sing at the risk of sin. They are willing to use all their knowledge to contribute to the country and atone for their sins. "
Zihong also shouted: "Father, I was young and ignorant when I made a mistake. I was afraid and did not dare to face my father, so I ran away. Now that I have regretted my mistakes, please give me a life." An opportunity to make meritorious deeds!"
At this time, the ministers also gave words of advice, Zhang Zixing nodded and said: "You two have committed a serious crime and have high expectations, which makes me sad. Today, I am fortunate to have a heart of repentance and are willing to contribute to the country. I am also relieved. I will give you a chance to correct your mistakes. You will be temporarily reinstated as princes and return to your respective mansions. However, you must cultivate your mind and character. The past will serve as a warning. If you do it again, I will definitely be severely punished!"
Zijiao and Zihong were overjoyed and quickly knelt down to thank them.
After the disbandment of the dynasty, Zhang Zixing summoned Shang Rong, Bigan, Mei Bo and Jizi to Zhaoxuan Hall to discuss the armament of the Western Zhou Dynasty. At this time, Zihong asked for an audience again. Zhang Zixing was surprised and ordered Zihong to come in. Zihong saw Shang. Rong, Bigan, Meibo and Jizi were standing by. They rolled their eyes, prostrated themselves and cried loudly. They called themselves "Father" and once again expressed their past mistakes with great emotion.
Zhang Zixing did not expect that Zihong asked for a meeting to admit his mistake, and did not know what his true intentions were, so he casually encouraged him in front of the four people.
After Zi Hong got up, he vowed that he would change his ways and live up to his father's understanding and expectations. He also wanted Zhang Zixing to show the magic he had learned in a "foreign person". Zhang Zixing could tell at a glance that Zi Hong had become a true immortal. At the peak of the lower level, he deliberately showed curiosity and followed him to the open space outside the palace together with the four ministers.
Zihong took out a short dagger, shook it in the wind, and turned into a long sword. A faint red and white light appeared on the long sword. Zihong gradually rose up, suspended in the air, and took the long sword away. The long sword As if controlled by an invisible arm, it turned into red and white light, flew and turned in the air, and finally rushed towards a stone beast statue in the distance, immediately smashing the huge stone statue into pieces. Bigan and others watched and cheered loudly. .
Zihong recalled the long sword, restored it to a short dagger, and bowed to salute Zhang Zixing. Zhang Zixing showed great joy: "Your Majesty has learned such Taoism, why worry about the rebellion of the Western Zhou Dynasty? In the future, I will conquer the Western Zhou Dynasty with great success!" "
Bigan and the other four also praised Zihong one after another. Zihong received such praise but kept a calm expression on his face, saying that he would definitely contribute to the country and relieve his father's worries. Zhang Zixing praised him profusely and finally ordered him to go home and have a good rest.
In fact, how did Zihong know that the fairy sword he used was very familiar to this "father". This magic weapon almost killed Zhang Zixing when he was in the South China Sea, and it was the famous fairy of Chi Jing. Bing Shui Huo Shen Feng! I don’t know if Chi Jingjing also gave him the Yin-Yang Mirror and the Purple Ribbon Immortal Clothes. Judging from Zihong’s pretentiousness today, he must have a plan for coming to Chaoge this time.
Zihong was secretly happy and resigned. When leaving the palace, he unexpectedly bumped into Zijiao. Zijiao seemed to be surprised when he saw Zihong. Zihong only said that Zijiao and he had the same idea, and came to express his feelings to his father.
, secretly thinking that he had taken the lead this time, he smiled proudly at his brother and turned away.
Zijiao waited until Zihong completely disappeared from sight, then entered the palace to ask for an audience. Zhang Zixing heard that Zijiao asked for an audience, and secretly made a plan, saying that he would discuss important matters with the four ministers, and ordered Zijiao to wait in Longde Hall. Bigan and the four others also
Thinking that Zi Jiao and Zi Hong were equally interested in showing off, they couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
After Zhang Zixing concluded his discussion with the four ministers, he came to Longde Hall.
When Zijiao saw Zhang Zixing, he saluted and said: "My child is waiting for his return from sin. He dare not forget his father's teachings back then. There is still something to report this time."
Zhang Zixing looked at Zi Jiao for a while and asked, "Are Lan Yu and Sun Yu okay?"
Zi Jiao replied: "My father once said that a friend in need is a friend indeed. Although Lan Yu has always been jealous, he has deep love for his children and subjects. Even in the most critical times, he never abandons him. Sun Yu has a gentle temperament.
He takes great care of his children and ministers. Now the two daughters have become friends in times of need and get along harmoniously, and the children can be regarded as enjoying the blessings of being together. They will definitely treat each other well in this life and never let down the affection of the two daughters."
Zhang Zixing seemed to be unhurried and always talked about him. Zijiao seemed to be eager to tell the inside story and seemed very anxious. Zhang Zixing saw this and nodded secretly. Zijiao couldn't get a word in, so in desperation, he plopped
He knelt down on the ground and said: "Father, this time the great merchants have reached a critical moment. My son came to pay tribute this time because he has a secret mission. He wants to harm the great merchants. Please listen to me, father."
A word from my son!"
"Get up and speak."
But Zijiao refused to get up and insisted on telling the secret.
Zhang Zixing looked at Zijiao, who looked anxious, and asked calmly: "How have you been in Taoyuan Cave in Jiuxian Mountain these years?"
Zi Jiao was shocked and realized that his father had already known some things. He immediately stood up with surprise on his face and replied: "My son usually practices day and night, while Lan Yu and Sun Yu are at the foot of Jiuxian Mountain."
We live together in a cottage, and we have only been reunited once in recent months."
Zhang Zixing nodded: "Guangcheng Zi is the first striker of Jin Zhongxian in Chan's teaching. I wonder what Taoist magic weapon he passed on to you?"
"The master was very kind to his son. Not only did he teach him everything he had learned in his life, but he also gave all the magic treasures in the cave to his son." When Guangchengzi was mentioned, Zijiao couldn't help but show respect on his face, and he gave all the magic treasures given by Guangchengzi.
Taking it out, the palace was filled with precious light for a moment. Zhang Zixing looked carefully and saw that Fantian Seal, Sweeping Xia Immortal Clothes, male and female swords, Soul Falling Bell and Xuan Bing Ling were all indispensable.
Zhang Zixing nodded and said: "Guangchengzi even gave you the Xuanbing Order, so he must have given it all. I wonder what your true intentions are when you and Zihong came to Chaoge this time?"
Zijiao didn't know that his father had fought against Guangchengzi and captured his master alive. Seeing that Zhang Zixing actually recognized the Xuan Bing Order, he was secretly surprised and replied: "My son, I came to Chaoge in the name of my master."
The main reason is to facilitate something, which is very important to my business. If it succeeds, the business will be in great trouble. Zihong worships under the apprentice of Master Chi Jingjing in Yunxiao Cave in Taihua Mountain. His coming here must be related to this matter.
I just don’t know if he has another mission. Zihong has been very smart since he was a child, but he has not been calm. If he is deceived by his teacher and makes mistakes this time, please ask his father to give him a chance to make a new start for the sake of his late mother and queen.
Chance."
"I have my own score on Zihong's matter, you don't need to say anything." Zhang Zixing was suspicious and asked: "Guangchengzi asked you to 'facilitate something'? What exactly is it?"
When Zijiao told that incident, Zhang Zixing was startled, and then burst into laughter. Hearing Zijiao's words, Zijiao felt like he was falling into the clouds and didn't know what was going on.
After Zhang Zixing smiled, he said to Zijiao: "This is easy to hear! You can just follow his instructions."
Zijiao hurriedly said: "Father, we must not underestimate him. If we decide on this strategy, we will definitely go to the Western Zhou Dynasty..."
Zhang Zixing interrupted before he finished speaking: "Let's not mention this matter for now. Let me ask you, Guangchengzi treated you with the kindness of teaching art. If he made you an enemy of my great merchant, how would you treat him?"
Zijiao said: "Although what happened to my mother and queen back then was the fault of the demon girl, judging from the situation that day, it is very likely that Chanjiao colluded with the demon girl to do it, and then he had other plans for accepting the two of us as his disciples. Master
Although the kindness you have shown me is as great as a mountain, I know it well. If I am a public person, I am a prince of the Great Shang Dynasty, a descendant of the clan, and I regard the country as the most important thing; if it is a private matter, although my teacher's kindness is great, my sect has other selfish motives.
How can I compare to the kindness of my parents? This time I come here, I will do my best to protect my father’s kingdom."
Zhang Zixing nodded with satisfaction and said: "Guang Chengzi will give you all the magic weapons, but can you make an oath?"
Zijiao said nonchalantly: "In order to win the trust of my master, I once swore an oath to disappear into ashes. I will die by then, just to thank my master for his kindness."
"You have Lan Yu and Sun Yu, how can you talk about life and death so easily?" Zhang Zixing patted Zi Jiao on the shoulder happily, "Don't worry too much about the oath. As my father is here, I will try my best to keep you safe. You
Let’s go back to the house and stay in peace and quiet on weekdays. Remember not to reveal to anyone what we talked about today.”
Seeing that his father seemed to have the pearl of wisdom in his hands, Zijiao felt relieved and retreated as ordered.
In the days that followed, Zijiao was indeed very simple. He practiced in the palace on weekdays and occasionally took Chong Lanyu and Sun Yu on trips. In contrast, Zihong seemed much more active.
The prince is alert by nature and is best at seizing the opportunity to express himself. Sometimes he discusses martial arts with Hong Jin and Jiang Wenhuan; sometimes he goes to Taishi Shangrong and Wang Shubi Gan for advice on national policy. Sometimes he can also put forward some constructive suggestions. Whether it is dealing with nobles
Even low-level officials, Zihong can treat them equally and treat them with sincerity. This positive attitude has won unanimous praise from all ministers, and Zhang Zixing also publicly praised Zihong. Sure enough, Zihong is indeed different from what he used to be, and he is very enterprising.
A group of ministers, headed by Fei Zhong and You Hun, observed Zihong's words and deeds and saw that Zihong seemed to have a bright future, so they secretly made many overtures to him. During a hunting meeting in the eastern suburbs, Zihong's arrows hit the target without missing a beat, expressing his willingness.
With this magical arrow, he opened the way for the great Shang Dynasty to attack Zhou Dynasty, and made the bold statement "If Xiqi is not destroyed, it will never be returned". Emperor Longyan was so happy that he specially named Zihong the "Pingxi King". Finally, the low-key prince Zijiao
Although he also received the title of "Loyal and Brave King", anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that Prince Hong of Pingxi was the prince who was truly valued by the emperor. Sure enough, not long after, the emperor issued an edict, specifically ordering Prince Pingxi to accompany his ministers every day.
Go to court and discuss state affairs together.
Zihong was proud of the spring breeze, but he also had doubts about Zijiao's low profile, and went to Prince Zhongyong's mansion many times to inquire. He saw that his eldest brother was either practicing behind closed doors, or hugging him from side to side, and being affectionate with Chong Lanyu and Sun Yu.
There is no intention of progress.
Zihong came to Prince Zhongyong's palace several times, and seeing this every time, his doubts gradually disappeared, and he couldn't help but secretly laugh that Zijiao was confused by practicing in Jiuxian Mountain. It seemed that after completing the mission of his uncle Guangchengzi, he would return to Chanjiao. However,
This is good, so as not to pose a threat to yourself.
Just like this, another period of time passed before the Western Zhou Dynasty's War Letter was finally delivered to Zhang Zixing.
