Chapter 1170 Taigong fishes, King Wen entrusts the orphan

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Ziya lifted the bamboo pole, and a lively koi fish fell down. Jiang Ziya said with a smile.

"It's better to take what is straight than to seek what is right, otherwise the fish will be hooked!"

Jiang Ziya was fishing for the big fish Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo. As soon as Jichang opened his mouth, the fish took the bait. This was the manifestation of the destiny of heaven.

Ji Chang immediately admired Jiang Ziya and respected Jiang Ziya. He invited him to come out and join forces to serve as the prime minister of Xiqi.

Jiang Ziya lived in seclusion in Weishui just to wait for Xibohou Jichang, but he did not put any airs on it and readily agreed, and the two walked out of the mountains and forests hand in hand.

Ji Chang let Jiang Ziya into the chariot and drove Jiang Ziya himself until he reached the official road, a total of eight hundred steps.

Ji Chang pulled an eight hundred-step cart for Jiang Ziya, and Jiang Ziya established an eight-hundred-year dynasty for Ji Chang. One drink and one peck made his destiny.

Jiang Ziya entered Xiqi, and all the people were eager to see it, and they were all delighted; Jiang Ziya dismounted at the imperial gate, Xibohou Jichang ascended to the palace, Jiang Ziya congratulated him after the imperial congratulations, Xibohou Jichang named Jiang Ziya the Prime Minister of Youlingsheng, and Jiang Ziya thanked him. A banquet was held in the side hall, and all the officials congratulated each other and drank. At that time, the monarch and his ministers were assisted, and the dragon and tiger were supported.

Jiang Ziya has a good approach to the country, and has laws to keep the people in check; conditions are in order, and everything is done in a proper way. Xiqi rose to build the Prime Minister's Mansion. At this time, news came to the five passes. Han Rong, the leader of Panshui Pass, went to Chaoge and said that Jiang Shang was in charge of Zhou Zhou.

Han Rongzhi, Xibo Hou Jichang, hired Jiang Ziya to work with Zhou, and he was busy repairing the manuscript and sent it to Chaoge. In more than one day, the official sent the memorial to Chaoge.

That day I happened to catch up with Bigan to read the book. As the Prime Minister of the Great Shang Dynasty, Bigan got along very well with Jiang Ziya and got to know each other very well. When Bigan saw this book, Jiang Shangzhou, Bigan was silent and sighed up to the sky.

"Jiang Shang always had great ambitions, and now he has great ambitions to assist the Western Zhou Dynasty. This book cannot be ignored."

Bigan held the memorial and went to Zhaixinglou to await the decree. King Zhou announced that Bigan would come to see him. King Zhou looked at Bigan holding the memorial and asked.

"What memorial does the emperor have?"

Bigan looked solemn and said very seriously.

"Han Rong, the chief military officer of Sishui Pass, wrote in this book, saying: 'Ji Chang hired Jiang Shang as his prime minister, and his ambition is not small. Dongbohou rebelled against the hometown of Donglu, and Nanbohou stationed troops in the three mountains. If there is another uprising in Xibo Ji Chang, , at this time, swords and soldiers were everywhere, and the people were confused. There were frequent floods and droughts, the army was poor, and the treasury was empty. When I heard that the Grand Master was on an expedition to the north, the victory or defeat was not decided. It was a time when the country was in a difficult situation and the monarch and his ministers were at war with each other. May your majesty’s holy will come to the fore and make a final decision.”

It happened that Beibeihou Chonghou Huhou had an audience with him. King Zhou called him into the palace and asked.

"What memorial do you have?"

Beibeihou Chonghouhu bowed and replied.

"I was ordered to supervise the construction of Lutai. It took two years and four months to complete the construction. It has been completed and I came here to return my order."

King Zhou was overjoyed when he heard this and praised Beibohou Chonghou Hu.

"It is not your power that this platform can move as fast as this."

Beibei Hou Chonghou Hu did not dare to bow and said modestly.

"I supervised the construction day and night, how could I dare to be idle? That's why the work was completed so quickly."

Chonghou Hu oversaw the construction of Lutai, mobilized troops, gathered famous craftsmen from all over the country, and gathered the world's treasures. Countless people were killed and wounded, and the people complained. The construction of Lutai sounded the death knell for the Yin Dynasty. There is a poem that says:

The people's anointing was peeled off to build the embankment. It was already west when the embankment was built.

Mu Yeshi was in trouble when he was in trouble, and he looked at Yun Ni when he was at war with Song.

The treasures of Kyushu are stored with great care, but once they are dusty they will fight against horse hooves.

I think the accumulated wealth and grievances have not been resolved, and the dawn is like a cloud.

King Zhou built Lutai firstly to consolidate his foundation and accumulate wealth and to control his subjects for a long time, and secondly to please Daji and enjoy hunting. He didn't care about the life and death of the people at all. Seeing that Chonghou Hu was loyal and dedicated, he said to him.

"You came at the right time. Jiang Shang is now in charge of Zhou, and his ambition is not small. Han Rongyou, the commander-in-chief of Sishui Pass, has written the original report. What is the plan for now? What plan do you have to get rid of Ji Chang's serious trouble?"

Chonghou Hu didn't understand Jiang Ziya, and he was dissatisfied with Ji Chang's wisdom and retorted.

"What can Ji Chang do? What is Jiang Shang? The frog at the bottom of the well is not big; the light of the firefly is not far away. It is called Xiangguo, and it is like a cicada holding a withered poplar. Soon they will all be gone. If your Majesty sends troops to attack, it will make all the princes in the world laugh. According to my opinion, there is nothing I can do; I hope Your Majesty does not have to compete with him."

King Zhou didn't pay much attention to Jiang Ziya at first, but because of Bigan's face, he paid a little attention to it. Hearing this, he said.

"Your words are very kind."

King Zhou then put the matter down without mentioning it. Bigan was so angry that he threw up his sleeves and left, saying to Chonghou Hu.

"The deer platform is finished, I am lucky."

Chonghou Hu, who was obedient to King Zhou, said with a smile.

"I specially invite the Holy Master to watch."

King Zhou was overjoyed when he heard this. He sent an edict and took Daji and three thousand beauties from the harem to Lutai to enjoy the show. The king was so ridiculous and deserved the destruction of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.

There are poems to prove it: "The deer platform is so high that it penetrates the sky, and the roots and seedlings are ruined; the civil engineering projects are disappointing, and the people's resentment and ghosts are responding to the monsters. Cannibals are insatiable in worshiping the evil of the princes, flattering Fei Zhongxiao; seducing foxes and singing to the moon at night. , businesses are like floating in the water."

Soon, King Zhou took advantage of Bigan's heart and made a soup to treat Daji's illness. Chonghou Hu even disrupted the government, acted arbitrarily on ministers, deceived the emperor, and did everything. He harms all the people without daring to speak out, and he kills without daring to complain. There are many evil things, which make the people live in a state of poverty, and they are greedy and cruel.

In Xiqi, when Jiang Ziya saw the complaints from the people all over the world, he immediately felt that the time had come and suggested to Xibohou Jichang that the Western Zhou Dynasty send troops to attack Beibohou Chonghou Hu and save all the people from the fire and water. Jichang happily accepted it.

King Wen sent out the white and yellow axe, and raised one hundred thousand men and horses. He chose an auspicious day to issue the treasure, and ordered Jiang Ziya to be the commander-in-chief, Nangong as the advance officer, and Xin Jia as the deputy general. There were four wise men and eight handsome men accompanying him. King Wen and Ziya set off with cannon fire. Fathers and elders greeted each other along the way, and the chickens and dogs were not surprised. When they heard that Xiqi was attacking Bei Bohou, Chonghou Hu, they all followed and supported him.

It is in vain to worship the tiger without any plan. How can he always stay when he deceives the king and steals the country? Behead him at the gate and sigh in the air. Pull out the son and hang his head without complaining.

Chonghou Hu was no match for Jiang Ziya. He was losing ground and was unpopular. Even his own brother Chong Heihu couldn't stand his behavior. He teamed up with Ji Chang to kidnap Chonghou Hu and sent him to Xiqi University. Ying, in the end, could not escape justice and died an untimely death, ending up with no body intact. He was beheaded in front of the public. He dominated Chaoge and relied on his own strength, deceiving the emperor to be greedy and cruel and harm the loyal and good. Who knows that evil deeds will eventually be repaid, and the owl leader Yuanmen has committed suicide.

Since then, Xiqi has withdrawn its troops, its power has increased greatly, and the world has respected it. Xiqi has become stronger and stronger since then.

But Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo, saw that he had beheaded the Chonghou Tiger. He was in a state of confusion, felt physically and mentally unwell, and was depressed. He was lazy in eating, restless in sleep, and had a hazy look with his eyes closed. When he saw the Chonghou Tiger standing in front of him again, he was startled and confused. He was treated with medical treatment but could not be cured by taking medicine. His condition worsened day by day and continued to increase, and he was already in critical condition. Then he ordered his second son Ji Fa to worship Jiang Shang as his father, listen to his teachings morning and night, and entrust Xiqi to Jiang Ziya. He died in the middle of winter in the 20th year of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty.

From then on, Xiqi changed its master, Ji Fa inherited the position of Xibohou, worshiped Jiang Shang as his father, King Wu conquered Zhou, and the dynasty changed from then on.
