My Senior Brother is Too Steady

"The fiery red sun has just risen~"

Humming a tune that has never been forgotten in his memory, Li Changshou walked in the circle of spirit beasts with his hands behind his back, obviously in a good mood.

After giving me some guidance once, I felt a little sense of accomplishment.

Probably because the 'King Zhou' in his hometown on Earth is so famous, he inevitably has a subtle mentality, feeling that he has witnessed 'history' and so on.

Thinking of this, Li Changshou smiled crookedly and continued to hum his own tune, enjoying himself.

Zi Shou's temperament does not seem to be cruel, but at most he is a little pushy and reckless. He also has a strong sense of "family mission" and wants to lead the Shang Kingdom to ZTE.

Why a sense of family mission?

In the understanding of mortal emperors such as Zi Shou and Di Yi, the current country is the private property of their families.

It is sheer nonsense to talk about advanced and backward thinking regardless of the general environment, but in Zi Shou, Li Changshou did see something different from Shang monarchs such as Di Yi and Di Ding.

This may be the reason why Wen Zhong gradually became too involved in the drama next to Zi Shou.

Of course, it is too early to draw such conclusions at this time.

Today's Zishou still has a long way to go, and no one can tell what kind of "flower bone" he will eventually grow into.

Not to mention, there is the 'stimulant' Su Daji.

Could it be that it is really a hard-core script like "A Thousand Years of Foxes and Ten Thousand Years of Spirit", and this blame is destined to be shouldered by the beauties?

That would be too despicable.

Of course, these words are slanderous and slanderous in my heart, saying that it is impossible to say them.

Immortal consciousness spreads quietly like ripples on the water surface...

Um?

What happened to Youqin?

He seemed to be in a low mood, and walked out of the chess and card room with a dejected face. He gathered up his skirt and sat on the threshold, leaning against the door frame in trance...

Several question marks popped up on Li Changshou's head. He had never seen Qin Xuanya look like this.

Immortal consciousness swept across the room and saw a certain innate treasure in the room looking up and laughing, as well as a pile of treasure bags and Fire Lin Sword Boxes placed in front of the spiritual illusion. Li Changshou suddenly felt helpless and complained.

What can this Chaos Bell do with spiritual stones? Throw it and listen?

It ruined the atmosphere of his chess and card room!

After thinking about it, Li Changshou turned around and ran away before he disturbed the joyful atmosphere in the chess and card room.

A few days later, he found an opportunity when the chess and card room was free and secretly placed a warning sign.

[There is love in competition, but ruthlessness in gambling].

The fight against gambling in the ancient world starts from the backyard of the White House!

Li Changshou looked around for a while, nodded with satisfaction, turned around and walked towards the thatched cottage.

Every time he took a step, he would naturally move forward more than two feet;

But in the eyes of others, every time he lifts or sets his feet, his figure will naturally appear hundreds of feet away.

There is no flicker, no pause, no ripples in the world, as if it has been integrated with nature, and as if this is the rule of walking.

Obviously, Shou's Taoism is becoming more and more profound, and he is heading towards a certain field where he will never return...

Li Changshou didn't know if he had taken the wrong path, but after receiving the method of beheading three corpses given by Taozu, he no longer planned to kill three corpses.

That's not very robust.

After returning to the thatched cottage, Li Changshou sat behind his low table, took out a roll of blank cloth, and wrote a line of small words on it.

"Records of Famous Officials of Great Business".

After all, his years in Chaoge City were not in vain. From now on, he will observe the ministers around Lord Shang and select those who are talented, proficient in political affairs, caring for the people, and compassionate.

Since he is asked to preside over the Great Tribulation of the Gods, he must look like the master of the tribulation.

Heaven will not accept those dignitaries who win just because they stand in a good team and do not have any real talent or knowledge.

The position of the righteous god should be lacking rather than excessive.

"Senior brother~"

Ling'e's soft call came from outside the door, and Li Changshou agreed with a smile. He kept writing and continued to write the preface.

Ling'e came dressed in a light green fairy dress, holding a bowl of cold soup in her hand, which was a newly learned skill.

Kneeling on the futon next to Li Changshou, Ling'e put her little head over and said curiously:

"Senior brother, do you want to turn ordinary ministers into ministers of heaven?"

"Taking advantage of the great calamity is just such an opportunity."

Li Changshou smiled and said: "The difference between immortals and mortals is only the immortal roots. Some immortals are not as smart and scheming as mortals.

Heaven doesn't care about the strength of living beings. It can directly grant merit and enlightenment to mortals, so that they can ascend in the daytime. Why not?

There are at least one-third of the quota on the list of gods, which must be reserved for the sages of the contemporary human race. This is a necessary symbol that heaven represents the human race, and it is also the blend of destiny between heaven and the human race. "

Ling'e blinked and didn't quite understand, so she smiled and said:

"Ah, ah, ah, in the blink of an eye, senior brother has become a mature god."

Li Changshou glared at Ling'e, who made a face, playfully came over and hugged his arm, deliberately making some physical contact while suppressing the shyness in his heart.

She is taking the initiative to adapt to a more intimate relationship. Li Changshou will not refuse this, and sometimes he will take the initiative.

Who wouldn't love this little junior sister who is sweet and cute and has a crush on him.

"By the way, did you, Senior Sister Qin, lose all the spiritual stones?"

"Uh...Senior brother, have you seen it?"

Ling'e moved away with a guilty conscience and whispered, "It's my fault for not stopping Sister Zhong in time."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Li Changshou and Ling'e burst into wild laughter at the same time.

Li Changshou's forehead darkened, and he flicked his left hand. Suddenly, a clear bell rang from the lakeside, and he heard an 'Oops' in his heart.

Chaos Bell roared with his spiritual sense: "Junior, how dare you hit me!"

At this moment, a ray of yin and yang breath quietly bloomed.

The Chaos Clock, which was about to return to its original size and come over to call for punishment, instantly retracted and became more than three inches tall again. It was hanging on the branches of the willow tree by the lake, swaying back and forth, and the spiritual feeling it conveyed was still full of stubbornness. .

"It's annoying! Why are you alarming Boss Tu when it's okay? We can't just handle our own affairs at home."

"laugh!"

"Who dares to laugh!"

The small tower next to Li Changshou's soul instantly closed itself, condensing all its brilliance and not daring to move.

The hierarchy between treasures is very strict, and Master Ta will one day become his younger brother.

After laughing for a while, Li Changshou felt a little spiritual light in his heart, so he slowly dismantled this spiritual light and turned it into insights, which slowly spread in Tao's heart. He closed his eyes and hummed softly.

Comfortable.

This hard-won epiphany.

Nowadays, the frequency of epiphany is getting lower and lower. After all, there are fewer and fewer things that can make me feel something.

"Brother, can I make a musical instrument next to you?"

"Well," Li Changshou picked up the jade bowl and took a sip. He smiled tenderly at Ling'e, lowered his head and continued to write rapidly.

After all, this is something for His Majesty the Jade Emperor to see, and it will also change the fate of many people. You should be cautious and considerate as much as possible.

suddenly think of……

Is Western Christianity really peaceful?

not necessarily.

Li Changshou always felt that this Western religion was preparing a revenge against him, and this revenge might appear at various points in the future.

When will the other party take action?

Li Changshou thought for a while and then directly used his old skills.

Put yourself in someone else’s shoes.

[If I were the Sixth Saint, what would I plan next to vent the evil in my heart and start the battle of Interpretation? 】

In the bottom of Li Changshou's heart, an imaginary scroll slowly unfolded, revealing a clear story line that connected the box selections.

The Jie Jiao, the Killing Tribulation, the Battle of Interpretation, and my own Taibaijinxing...

Adopted father and adopted son, Li Jing?

After a while, Li Changshou closed his eyes and concentrated, standing as still as a dry stone, his breath a little weak.

Ling'e raised her head and glanced at her senior brother, sighing softly in her heart, but with a happy smile on her lips.

I still can't do anything to help him.

…

It's been three months since Li Changshou met his son at night.

The expeditionary army of the Shang Kingdom returned to Shang Dynasty, and most of the generals rushed back to Chaoge City overnight to accuse the prince of suffering the crime of "killing the victorious general in the army."

The next morning.

All the officials gathered in the palace of the king. Zi Shou, wearing armor, knelt down in front of the palace without saying a word. Emperor Yi sat on a high seat with an expressionless face.

The sixteen expedition generals all knelt on the ground and described the situation before and after the general was beheaded. Their words were fierce and angry.

The ministers immediately started talking about it. Many veterans said that this matter was bad for the military and would definitely damage the morale of the army.

Dazai is the head of the inner court and the closest to the king. At this time, he said to Xiangyan:

"It has been unreasonable since ancient times to kill the victorious general in the army.

This matter needs to be handled carefully by Your Majesty, and the hearts of these soldiers who fought bloody battles must not be chilled. "

Emperor Yi nodded slowly and said, "I love you all, is there anyone who can defend Zishou?"

When the young master heard that Zhongyue came out of the crowd, he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there is something else going on in this matter. Why don't you listen to Zi Shou?"

Several ministers spoke one after another:

"If there is an inside story, how can there be any reason to kill the victor?"

"It has become a fact that the prince killed the general for no reason."

"The great merchants built the country with military force, and our ancestors conquered everywhere to achieve the current prosperous age. How can we waste the foundation?"

Wen Zhong frowned slightly, and now he realized that it was too early to stand up.

"cough!"

Suddenly, a slight cough was heard coming from the front corner of the hall. Half of the ministers stopped talking and looked at the old minister who was getting older and older.

He is Li Changshou's [official] Zhi Taoist, the Six Ministers of Emperor Yi, and a great historian of the Shang Kingdom.

Li Changshou said slowly: "Your Majesty, why don't you leave this matter to Lord Bigan? Lord Bigan is a god in solving cases. There have been no unjust, false or wrong cases in Chaoge City for a long time."

Bigan turned his head and looked at Li Changshou, muttering secretly in his heart that this boss Shi had nothing to do with him on weekdays, but he didn't expect that he would recommend him.

Qiqiao Linglong's heart changed, and Bigan immediately understood that this might be his brother's intention.

Da Shi, an old fox, usually kept a low profile, but he was very popular in the court. He was behind many officials' promotions, and he couldn't afford to offend him.

A faint smile appeared on Di Yi's lips, he looked at Bigan on his left, and said warmly:

"Brother Wang, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Bigan stepped out.

Look at this Wang brother who has been supported by Chanjiao for half a month. He has a slender figure and a face like a crown jewel. He has also entered middle age, losing a lot of vigor and a little more calmness.

He has an exquisite heart, but he is never exquisite in all aspects and is extremely upright;

He is good at figuring out the sinister nature of people's hearts, but he never shows mercy to the powerful.

Everyone in Chaoge City sings - "Chaoge has a tall head and a blue sky, and seven orifices are exquisite to distinguish between loyal and traitorous people", which is about Bigan.

Bigan groaned for a few times, bowed to Emperor Yi, and then said:

"Your Majesty, my foolish brother believes that no matter what kind of case it is, one should listen to both sides and collect enough evidence before making a reasonable judgment.

You should invite your son and nephew to come in and explain the inside story of this place. "

Emperor Yi smiled and said: "Since Brother Wang has said this, let me let you go into the palace and tell me the inside story."

Outside the hall, Zishou first raised his head and bowed, and then slowly stood up.

He held the sword at his waist and walked slowly into the hall. His eyes were clear and his expression was relaxed. However, when he glanced at the ministers on both sides, there was a sharp light in his eyes, which made many old ministers feel uneasy.

At that moment, Zi Shou followed Li Changshou's advice and first established benevolence and righteousness and promoted martial ethics, and then confused the two generals' guilt and responsibilities. He changed the phrase "exchanging military uniforms to take in prisoners of war" to "not willing to sacrifice the enemy's uniforms for military merit". Wearing robes on civilians', he did not say whether he was taken as a prisoner of war, or whether he was killed directly, but he said directly, 'It was so cruel'.

Later, Zi Shou deflected the conflict, saying that the two generals were arrogant with their merits, refused to accept his initial punishment, and intended to incite a mutiny among the troops. They also secretly communicated with many generals kneeling here in order to reduce the dignity of his prince. .

What he said happened to be the truth, but some places were deliberately vague and he never mentioned slaves.

After Zi Shou finished speaking, the hall was filled with solemn silence.

Di Yi's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and Zi Shou's voice remained calm. At this moment, he didn't give the other party a chance to refute at all, and sighed:

"The army is out there, and I am the general.

I know that there are many people in this court who want to kill me for their own benefit.

But this power struggle has actually seeped into the military!

Eight hundred princes are watching from outside!

How many of them are waiting for us, Dachang, to die, and then take advantage of the trend and replace me with Dachang!

In this hall, how many people only care about themselves and the future of their children and grandchildren, but they forget that the territory of this great merchant was pieced together by the ancestors of the merchants with axes and swords!

Those who want to kill me might as well do it right here today, why bother doing those dirty tricks in secret! "

Clang!

Zi Shou pulled out his sword and threw it into the middle of the hall. His eyes were like eagles, and his sword eyebrows glowed with cold light!

Sharp eyes swept everywhere, and most of the courtiers were frightened and did not dare to look at him.

"well……"

Zi Shou sighed, seemed to take a breath, threw the scabbard aside, stepped forward and bowed deeply to his father who was sitting high up, and said directly without giving Bigan a chance to speak:

"Father, in order to prevent a mutiny in the army and to establish the authority of the general, my son had to bear the pain and kill the two generals.

I am willing to accept the punishment for what happened today, and I also ask my father not to hold these generals accountable. Most of them just don't know the truth and have empathy.

Presumably, all the ministers here have their hearts set on the Great Shang, but sometimes, there are some differences and incomprehensions between us. "

Di Yi couldn't help but smile and narrow his eyes.

On the side, Li Changshou raised his eyebrows secretly, and was quite touched that Zi Shou could say these last few words.

This guy was born to be a monarch and already knew how to control people's hearts.

pity……

That’s all.

Zi Shou's words in the court today caused an earthquake in Chaoge City.

That night, news came out from the palace that Emperor Yi, who had been having a poor appetite recently, feasted on a meal. After drinking, he said, "The great merchants can live on forever." Apparently he was quite satisfied with Zi Shou.

Not long after, Bigan also publicly said that it was not Zi Shou's fault for killing the general, and the prince's power struggle must be curbed.

Many ministers who had been waiting and watching began to fall in love with this little prince who suddenly became dazzling.

As for Wei Ziqi and Wei Zhongyan, their mansion doors were closed and they declined guests, seeming to be watching quietly.

In the Grand Historian's Mansion, Li Changshou closed his eyes in the study and was about to move his mind back to heaven, but the 'Directed Wind Spell' brought a conversation...

It was Zi Shou and Wen Zhong.

"Young Master, who is this great historian?

After so many years in the court, I have always been shunned by the old ministers. I have never been so proactive. Speaking according to the words of the great historian, I was so scared that those people were speechless.

It’s really fun this time! "

"Zi Shou, be careful what you say, be careful what you say, this great historian is not someone I can recommend casually.

He is a truly masterful person who cannot be impressed by anything other than power or wealth.

There are some things that I cannot tell you in detail, but Zi Shou must remember that unless he is at the critical moment of life and death, he must not trouble his old man, otherwise it will only be counterproductive. "

"Is Da Shi also a man among the gods?"

"With just one hand, you can cover the sky."

"Hiss—then why did he come to my big business?"

"Let's have fun, but there are also rumors that Dashang is his move. I can't see clearly what's going on here, and you, Zi Shou, don't know about it. Don't talk nonsense."

When Li Changshou heard this, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

As expected, Wen Zhong was trapped. He even told Zi Shou secretly about his extraordinary status.

That's right, after all, the human heart is made of flesh. Wen Zhong has been a young master for some years, and he and Zi Shou are inseparable.

Are there any hidden dangers?

Li Changshou fell into thinking again and went back and forth to check things related to Wen Zhong.

But at this time, he was not the only one who was thinking about Wen Zhong.

…

On the mountain behind Yuxu Palace, in the attic of the waterfall.

"This Wen Zhong sounds familiar."

Guangchengzi tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table in front of him, frowning in thought.

Chi Jingjing said: "That is the young disciple of the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit. He has taught for three generations. He listened to the lectures of Junior Brother Chang Geng and walked in Chaoge City with Junior Brother Yang Jian and others.

At that time, we only focused on that person teaching Li Jing, but we forgot about this.

Unexpectedly, even if we didn't pay attention to Chaoge City for a while, he would have become a young master. "

On the side, Master Huang Long wondered: "What the hell is Young Master?"

Chi Jingjing said: "According to Pindao's research, as long as the new emperor comes to power, most of the young masters will be worshiped as grand masters. They have great power in the ordinary court and can influence military and political affairs."

Master Taiyi put his hands in his sleeves and said with a smile:

"Teacher of the Human Emperor, it's not like our senior brother has never done anything before, or he just doesn't take care of things, so why worry?"

Guangchengzi glared at Taiyi, threw the jade talisman in his hand on the table, and said firmly:

"Don't be so careless. Coach Jie made a good move this time.

This Wen Zhong looks like he will become an important figure in the catastrophe. We must think carefully about how to deal with him. "

Master Jade Cauldron said in a deep voice: "It is better not to do more than to do nothing. When the secret is more obvious, it will not be too late to take action."

Master Taiyi curled his lips habitually, with a look of despair on his face: "Okay, let's see which current prince is so unlucky that we support him for half a month."

The other eight immortals in the pavilion all cast helpless looks, and Master Taiyi shrugged.

Relying on the jade tripod, you have no fear.

…

At the same time, Biyou Palace.

Taoist Duobao wandered around and stopped the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit who had just returned to look for treasure materials for refining weapons.

"Junior sister Jin Ling, has your disciple gained anything in the past ten years or so? Huo Ling hasn't sent any letter to you for a long time. It's because he's worried about them."

"Um……"

"It's okay if you encounter obstacles. The core area of ​​the Great Tribulation is not so easy to penetrate. The world is dirty and people's hearts are complicated. It's not his fault if he returns without success."

"I'm busy, so I didn't ask. I'll send the jade charm to him later and ask him."

"Okay, there's no rush."
