My Senior Brother is Too Steady

[In the Chaoge City princes meeting, Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu, Xibohou Jichang, Beibeihou Chonghouhu, and Nanbohou E Chongyu each led 200 princes to visit Emperor Xin.

Emperor Xin was very happy and granted many rewards, and gave the four princes the power to attack foreign enemies from all princes. That is to say, if the princes want to go out to send troops, they must first report to the four princes and get their approval.

Among the four princes, Ji Chang was known as a virtuous man, and E Chongyu was highly virtuous and respected. He was listed as one of the three princes of the dynasty and held a very high position. 】

…

‘Did Di Xin think of this strategy, or did Wen Zhong think of it? ’

In the backyard of Li Mansion in Chentangguan, Li Changshou was sitting in the shade, drinking special herbal tea, enjoying the fan service of two servants, and thinking about what had just happened in the Shang Dynasty court.

Overall, Di Xin's move was clever, but also quite sinister.

At this time, among the eight hundred princes, the most powerful one was Jiang Huanchu. He was also the one with the highest seniority and the closest relationship with the Shang State.

——Di Xin’s father-in-law.

But the names of the Three Dukes were given to Ji Chang and E Chongyu, which had a bit of a "two peaches kill three scholars" flavor.

Divide the eight hundred princes into four princes, strengthen the power of the four princes, and then divide the four princes so that they cannot unite.

If a small prince rebels, the big prince will suppress it. The Shang State can save a lot of war costs and allow the princes to draw strength from each other.

Furthermore, the Northern Bohou Chonghou Hu was a general whom Emperor Xin single-handedly supported. The two hundred princes in the north had the lowest risk of rebellion. He could also contain the two hundred princes in the east and west, thus achieving the purpose of restraining the princes.

It can be deduced from this that the first person Emperor Xin wanted to deal with must be Nanbohou E Chongyu.

Li Changshou carefully calculated the memories of his previous life, and it seemed that E Chongyu died miserably... and had no sense of existence.

Why is this move said to be quite dangerous for Di Xin?

The reason is simple: raising tigers will lead to disaster.

The four princes will further become four giants, threatening the stability of the Shang Kingdom. If one of the four princes rebels, they must be prepared for the two hundred princes behind them to rebel at the same time.

Di Xin dared to use this move, which also highlighted his youthful vigor and confidence.

I don’t know if Emperor Xin and Wen Zhong realized that the focus of the next struggle between the Shang State and the vassal states was to instigate the relationship between the big princes and the small and medium princes, so that they would be in civil strife and unable to unite;

Then win over the small ones and encircle the big ones, cooperate to improve the quality of merchants, strengthen the merchant army, and achieve further centralization of power.

Using the inside to control the outside, and the outside to suppress the inside, this is the only way for Shang State to solve the current predicament.

Of course, these are just my speculations.

Maybe Di Xin had a very simple idea this time - first put up four targets, and let the princes of the world open their eyes to see how he would overturn these four targets one by one, thus achieving the purpose of killing the monkeys and frightening the chickens.

Uh, no way...

It’s impossible that the Human Emperor, who refuses to obey the destiny of heaven, doesn’t even have this kind of political skill, right?

Li Changshou smiled, listening to the melodious music coming from the attic next to him, looking at the warm spring breeze and the flowers falling in the garden, feeling slightly lost in thought.

Why not help Di Xin?

This question in turn is the answer.

Why help Di Xin?

Who can say clearly about the affairs of the emperor in the world? There is no need for him to do such a thing, he can just watch from the sidelines.

Li Changshou yawned and said: "Let the piano player enjoy some snacks and make something cheerful. Are you playing for the madam? Are you playing for the third young master?"

If she's so perfunctory, her reward will be deducted later. "

"Yes," the servant behind him suddenly felt like a chicken feather and an arrow, and ran into the attic arrogantly.

At this time, there were two maids on the side carrying two bowls of soup, one large and one small. Li Changshou naturally picked up the small bowl, tasted it, and nodded to let them in.

On raising babies.

Li Jing is busy with affairs, and as a senior servant and housekeeper, he has to take full responsibility for the whole process.

Moreover, the soups and waters used to nourish and treat the fetus taste good. This is simply a kind of torture, which makes him suffer quite a lot as a paper Taoist.

Li Changshou handed the empty bowl to the maid behind him and said calmly: "Inform the chef to make a few more portions and send them over, and add more ice."

"Yes," the maid responded softly, lowered her head and hurried away.

Li Changshou comfortably placed his feet on the wooden chair beside him, feeling a bit bored like the old Dragon King.

Just yesterday, an old man from the Li Mansion stopped Li Jing, General Li, who was returning home, and told Li Jing in tears about the domineering side of a senior servant. As a result...

The old man received his salary for the next ten years today and was kicked out of the Li Mansion.

Today is different from the past. In order to facilitate the care of the Yin family and the reincarnation of Lingzhuzi, Li Changshou had already revealed his identity to Li Jing and signaled Li Jing to keep quiet.

In private, Li Jing treated senior servants with a foster father on his left and a star king on his right, and they were very respectful.

Why did Li Changshou take the initiative to expose himself?

The secret lies beneath this attic.

Li Changshou spent a lot of precious spiritual stones to set up a layer of 'fetus-nurturing' array, also known as the 'reversal of yin and yang, purifying the heart and clearing evil spirits', to continuously wash away the evil spirits of the spiritual fetus.

In addition, Li Changshou must continue to take action to stabilize the spiritual fetus.

He had told Li Jing before that he asked Li Jing to inform Yin to be prepared to carry the baby for more than three years, in order to take time to deeply suppress the evil spirit and minimize the impact of the evil spirit on the spiritual fetus.

If the saint takes action, the consequences will be endless.

For Li Changshou, instead of helping Emperor Xin continue the destiny of the Shang Kingdom, it would be better to sit on the sidelines and spend his energy on cultivating Yang Jian, Nezha, Lei Zhenzi, Wen Zhong, and Li Jing, these future generals of the heaven.

——Wen Zhong's name has appeared on the list of gods at this time, and Heaven's arrangement for Wen Zhong has been finalized.

The way of heaven.

When competing with the way of heaven, we must not be greedy for too much, but must learn to be flexible and flexible.

About a year later, a piece of news came from Chaoge City.

[Emperor Xina took the daughter of Jiu Hou as his concubine and hid her in the deep palace, where she was quite doted on. Emperor Xin conferred the title of Three Dukes on the Nine Marquises, which caused dissatisfaction among many great princes. 】

It's coming, it's coming, the script for Di Xin to kill the Nine Lords is here, it depends on when Di Xin will take action.

Li Changshou tried to be more cold-blooded, not to care about the lives of several people, and to look at the subsequent events.

This attack was an opportunity for the Shang Kingdom, and it was also a chance for Emperor Xin to use the Nine Marquises to establish the majesty of the human emperor and intimidate the princes from all walks of life.

Although the Jiuhou is also a big prince, it is obviously inferior to the four princes in the southeast, northwest and northwest. Because he is a woman, he is ranked among the three princes and it is difficult to convince the public.

To a certain extent, Dashang is already at the crossroads of prosperity and decline.

Di Xin's subsequent decision is very important.

According to Li Changshou's impression, he just found an excuse to blame Jiuhou's daughter for not serving him well, so he angered Jiuhou, and took the opportunity to kill Nan Bohou.

There was still a better solution, which made Nan Bohou suffer but did not dare to speak.

Li Changshou will wait and see.

The more times like this, the more important micro-management is. I hope Di Xin and Wen Zhong can understand this truth and don't let Tiandao win too easily.

Let’s talk about the Li Mansion.

The Yin family was pregnant for a year and a half, which caused an uproar in Chentangguan.

I don’t know where the rumor came from, saying that the third son pregnant by Mr. Li’s wife was a demon. Only demons can have such strange phenomena.

Li Changshou smiled calmly and began to personally control the public opinion in Chentang Pass. First, he secretly released a few rumors and made up a short fable about "a fairy descending to earth".

For this reason, several divine envoys of the Poseidon Sect were specially transferred from the coast of the South China Sea, and the skills of bamboo rapping were spread on the coast of the East China Sea.

Coupled with the fact that the backyard of the Li Mansion shimmered with fairy lights and clouds of fairy clouds from time to time, the Li family house became a rather sacred place for a while, and many mortals would come here to worship.

Gradually, some demon soldiers appeared outside Chentang Pass and harassed the mortal villages.

Li Jing reacted quickly and led his troops to search everywhere. He fought with the demon soldiers in the mountains and forests for several months and drove them away.

But it is an indisputable fact that the long-dormant demon clan has once again spread to the vicinity of Chentangguan.

Li Jing is getting busier and busier.

But it doesn't matter, Li Changshou had already expected this fate, and the paper Taoist was always guarding him within a hundred feet of the spiritual fetus to prevent him from being plotted again.

In this way, the Yin family was pregnant for more than three years.

During this period of time, there was already a bloody storm in Chaoge City. Emperor Xin decided that Jiu Hou had a disobedient heart because of the assassination of Jiu Hou's daughter, and had Jiu Hou executed.

Nanbohou E Chongyu interceded for Jiuhou, but was executed by the furious Emperor Xin.

There were many tortures in the Shang Dynasty to intimidate slaves and consolidate their rule. These capital punishments were varied and not identical at all.

The two hundred princes on the south road were panicked for a while. The merchant army, which had been prepared for a long time, marched to the south. The new Nan Bohou was quickly established by Emperor Xin.

Chonghou Hu, the Marquis of Beibo, reported secretly, saying that Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo, lamented in private about the events of Jiuhou and E Chongyu.

Fei Zhong, a senior official from a humble background, took advantage of the growing power of the Shang Kingdom and asked Emperor Xin to kill Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo.

Emperor Xin hesitated for a while, because Xibohou was very powerful among the princes, and the fear of killing him would cause too many princes to rebel, so he did not agree. He imprisoned Ji Chang in Youli and ordered Chonghou Hu to secretly conquer the Zhou Dynasty. Weakened the leaderless Zhou Kingdom.

Because of this incident, many of the eight hundred princes rebelled. Emperor Xin worshiped Taishi Wen Zhong as his commander-in-chief, led the merchant army to conquer the east and west, suppressed the treason, and the fortune of the great merchant nation became more and more prosperous.

These are all major events of the Shang Dynasty that can be seen at a glance.

And in the midst of these major events...

Emperor Xin often gave banquets to long-lived merchants, ate and enjoyed themselves with merchants during sacrifices, encouraged merchants to get married and have children, and sent his trusted veterans to supervise the development of mulberry farming in various parts of the Shang Kingdom.

She also personally intervened in the dances and sacrifices of the female priests of the Shang Dynasty, breaking the female priests' exclusive right to interpret the divine power.

Due to the busy state affairs, Emperor Xin only had Queen Jiang and a few concubines in the harem. He and Queen Jiang had two sons, Yin Hong and Yin Jiao.

Occasionally, Li Jing talked with the Yin family at night, and he was quite emotional when talking about Emperor Xin.

If Emperor Xin can suppress the troubles of the eight hundred princes, he may be the hero of the second resurgence of the Shang Kingdom; if he cannot withstand the subsequent counterattack of the princes, he may not be able to end well.

Mrs. Yin asked Li Jing, "Does your husband have any dissatisfaction with the king?"

"The salary of the emperor is to guard the border for the great merchants."

Li Jing smiled and said: "What we guard is the boundary between humans and monsters. The struggle for power behind us has nothing to do with you and me."

Li Changshou was quite surprised by Li Jing's realization.

He thought Li Jing would be a foolish and loyal person.

Obviously, my previous education was also very effective.

Recently, Ms. Yin felt that she was about to be unable to support herself and the baby in her belly had to be born. However, she did not speak out and just endured it silently every day.

Li Changshou secretly cast a spell to relieve some of the pressure on the Yin family, and was fully prepared to welcome Nezha's birth.

While Li Changshou was busy, a piece of news came from Chaoge City that shocked him.

[Half a month later, Di Xin will pay homage to the Holy Mother Nuwa Temple. 】

This day has finally come.

Li Changshou also made some preparations for this, but he would not interfere with anything. He would just watch from the side, open some photo balls, and record some precious moments.

He wanted to see if it was the contemporary human emperor who was responsible for the calamity, or if someone was secretly plotting to speed up the god-killing calamity.

As long as someone really takes action, no matter who it is, Li Changshou will seize the opponent's handle.

The plot against the Human Emperor could be big or small, and it gave him the possibility to use the topic to his advantage.

And when Li Changshou wanted to temporarily move his eyes to the Notre Dame Temple, there was suddenly a unique breath in the Qingshui River outside Chentangguan.

In the night sky, a paper Taoist figure of Li Changshou flashed high into the sky and looked at it intently.

But at the river beach, a small green dragon quietly swam up to the shore, looking around curiously, and transformed into a young man, wearing a white robe, spotless cloud boots, and holding a folding fan in his hand.

His naturally sharp eyebrows and starry eyes vaguely resemble those of Ao Yi, but his complexion is a little pale.

Feel carefully...

Hey, the Dragon Clan has an old problem. The foundation is unstable and the origin is defective. It seems that they didn't learn well at a young age and fooled around with some maids and dragon girls.

The little dragon was looking at the farmhouse in the distance, shaking his head and chanting a poem, and walking forward with his hands behind his back.

Passing by a village house, he stopped, hummed softly outside, and asked:

"The road is difficult to travel on a starry night. I wonder if I can accommodate you here for one night? I will definitely have money and silk as a gift."

The wooden door opened, revealing the slim figure of a fisherman girl. She looked curiously at the handsome young man outside the door, her face turned red, and she quickly turned around to call her parents.

Li Changshou had several question marks on his forehead, and he didn't know what this little dragon was doing.

Thinking that there was still half a month to go to the Notre Dame Temple, I kept a close eye on it for a few days.

What happened next made Li Changshou feel quite troubled.

Xiaolong and the fisherman girl flirted with each other in the middle of the night. They were already close to each other, and even made an appointment to elope. The next morning, he and the fisherman girl secretly left, leaving some gold and silver behind.

Then there are some indescribable and inappropriate scenes.

What happened next was very much like a ‘fairy tale’.

The handsome young man had a happy night with the fisherman woman. On a starry night, when the woman was sleeping, the young man quietly left the woman's side, leaving only a huge pearl.

After waking up, the woman cried bitterly for a long time, holding the pearl and looking around for it. Finally, she walked back to her home in despair, where she was scolded by her parents and gained a bad reputation.

this……

Li Changshou suddenly felt a little dizzy.

what is this?

The romantic journey of the Third Prince of the Dragon King of the East China Sea?

Can those gold and silver buy the affection and reputation of a good woman?

Although the folk customs at this time were somewhat enlightened, and many men and women had experiences before marriage, this... ah this!

I want to beat this little dragon.

Fortunately, the woman was not pregnant, which was considered a blessing among misfortunes, but her heart was already in a haze, and she was always the shadow of that cruel man. She did not think about food and drink, and was getting thinner day by day.

It's really hard to get a conviction on this matter.

The two of them were in love with each other, and the Dragon Prince didn't use any magic, just a few gentle words, and relied on his outstanding appearance to easily win the woman's heart.

Forget it, let’s ignore this slutty little Qinglong for now and let Ao Yi take good care of him later.

In Chaoge City, Di Xin's carriage has already set off in a mighty manner, and a crucial plan for the God-conferring Catastrophe is about to be staged. He should pay more attention to the major events here...

Wow——

The tips of Taoist Li Changshou's ears twitched, and the wind curse brought about some strange water noises.

He looked intently and saw that on a beach hundreds of miles away, the little green dragon swam out of the sea and turned into a human form. It was still dressed like a charming mortal girl. With its chest raised and its head raised, showing a humble face, he looked towards Not far away from the village.

Not long after, he stood in front of a village house with purpose and said warmly:

"The road is difficult to travel on a starry night. I wonder if I can accommodate you here for one night? I will definitely have money and silk as a gift."

The wooden door opened, revealing another fisherman woman with a pretty face.

Li Changshou:...

This little dragon!

Only half a day!

Is it that the girls from the sea tribe are no longer fragrant, or is it that the girls from the dragon tribe are no longer beautiful? Why are you running to the human race every day?

And compared with last time, this time the method was obviously more sophisticated, sweet words were readily available, and the woman was quickly smitten.

This cannot be blamed on the woman. If the two were displaced, the fisherman would not be able to resist those beautiful dragon girls wearing fairy dresses in the sea who came to stay at the fisherman's house and even took the initiative to complain that they were lonely.

Isn’t this how all fables are written?

The human race has an old tradition.

Li Changshou suddenly wanted to write a "Dragon Anatomy Guide", together with "Don't Be Angry", "Love in the World", and "The Theory of Goodness", as an enlightenment reading for little Nezha.

snort!

Let's go to the Notre Dame Temple to watch the show first, and it won't be too late to come back later to deal with it.
