Chapter 382 Jiang Ziya abandons his official position and goes to Xiqi

When Daji saw her good sister being burned to death by Jiang Shang, her heart was really pierced by a knife and her mind was fried. She secretly cried out: "You can just come and see me and go back. What's your fate? If you meet an evil person now, you will be burned out of your true form." How can my body be safe? If I don’t kill Jiang Shang, I swear I won’t be born with a common man!”

Daji had no choice but to smile and start playing: "Your Majesty ordered the jade pipa to be brought upstairs, and after I have put it on the string, I will join your Majesty in the morning and evening to have fun. I think Jiang Shang is both talented and skilled, so why not make him a guardian in the court?"

King Zhou felt that it was reasonable and said: "The words of the imperial wife are very good." Then the emperor sent a decree: "Bring the jade pipa upstairs. Jiang Shang heard that I was conferring an official position. He paid homage to the doctor and was specially awarded the title of Si Tian. Supervisor, serving at court."

After Ziya thanked him, he went out of the Meridian Gate and took his crown and clothes back to Yiren Manor. A banquet was set up for a stranger, and relatives and friends came to congratulate him. After drinking for several days, Ziya returned to the capital to accompany the court without making an appearance.

Let’s also say that Daji placed the jade pipa in the Star-Zhaing Tower to collect the aura of heaven and earth, and the essence of the sun and moon. Five years later, she returned to her original form and ruined the world.

One day, King Zhou had a banquet with Daji in Zhaixing Tower. After the wine was half drunk, Da Dan sang and danced once to have fun with King Zhou. The concubines of the three palaces and the palace people of the sixth courtyard all cheered. There were more than seventy palace people inside, but none of them cheered, and there were tears in their eyes.

Daji looked at it, stopped dancing, and asked: "Which palace are the more than seventy palace people originally from?" A serving imperial officer found out: "It turned out to be the palace attendants of Empress Jiang in the middle palace." Daji After hearing that she was an official of Empress Jiang, she couldn't help but said angrily: "Your mistress has conspired to commit treason and punish her with death. You are so angry that you will become a problem for the palace in the long run."

So she reported this to King Zhou, who was furious and issued a decree: "If we take down the stairs, we will all be beaten to death with golden melons." Daji still couldn't understand her cruelty, so she reported to King Zhou again: "Your Majesty, there is no need to kill these people. I have rebelled against the party and sent her to the cold palace for the time being. I have a plan to get rid of the serious problems in the palace. "Feng Yuguan sent the palace maid to the cold palace.

It is also said that Daji told King Zhou: "Open the circle below the Zhaixing Tower twenty-four feet, and the width and depth will be five feet. Your Majesty issued a decree, ordering all the people in the capital to put four snakes in each household into this pit; make the Cheat Palace The person was stripped clean and sent into the pit: this poisonous snake, the name of this punishment is: '迿 basin'."

King Zhou said: "The wonderful method of controlling wives can really eliminate the major disadvantages in the palace." The emperor followed up with the decree and posted various gates. The country's laws are strict and all the people are suffering. They are ordered to hand in snakes to Longde Hall within a time limit. The people are marching into the court day by day, and there is no internal or external situation. All laws and disciplines are eliminated, and the court is in disgrace for more than one day.

All the people wanted snakes. If there were snakes in the capital, they would all go to other counties to buy snakes and pay for them. One day, Jiao Ge, an official and a senior official, was in the library looking at the chapter of the world. He saw people walking in groups of three or four, carrying baskets, entering the nine-room hall. After the snake had finished receiving it, he ordered the imperial officer: "Tie out the palace servant who was not allowed to travel to the palace the day before and push it down into the basin." After receiving the order, the imperial officer immediately tied the palace servant to the edge of the pit; when the palace servant saw it, The snake is ferocious, raising its head and sticking out its tongue. The evil appearance was ugly, and the seventy-two palace residents complained together.

That day, Jiao Ke was in the clerk's room, and he inquired about this matter day after day. He heard only miserable cries. When he came out of the clerk's room, he saw the palace official hurriedly coming to report: "Master Qi! The emperor took the snake and released it the day before yesterday. In the pit, seventy-two palace people were skinned into the pit today. This snake has found out the truth and came to report it. "

When Jiao Ke heard what Daji said, his heart was very fierce, so he went to court to argue with King Zhou. Unexpectedly, King Zhou did not agree, but instead blamed himself for what Daji said. . When King Zhou saw that Jiao Ge was scolding him so lightly, he ordered him to be thrown into a basin. How could Jiao Ge endure such humiliation? The oar burst into pieces, and a soul fell into the underworld.

The next day when all the civil and military officials heard about Jiao Ke's death, they could not help but weep, but they did not dare to speak.

It is said that King Zhou put the palace people into the pit, thinking it was a good punishment; Daji said again: "Your Majesty can pass the decree again, dig a marsh on the left side of the grass basin, and dig a pond on the right side. It is a pond. It is filled with branches at the foot of Zaoqiu Mountain, and the meat is cut into thin slices and hung on the branches. It is called "Meat Forest". The right side is filled with wine, which is called "Wine Pool". The emperor is rich all over the world. We should enjoy endless wealth and honor. This meat forest and wine pond are not the honor of the emperor, and we should not be arrogant."

After King Zhou listened to Daji's words, he actually built wine ponds and meat forests. He was unscrupulous, lacked political integrity, and indulged in wanton debauchery. One day, Daji suddenly remembered the shame of the Jade Pipa Spirit and wanted to plot to harm Ziya. So she made a picture, and that day she was having a banquet with King Zhou in Zhaixing Tower. When the wine was half drunk, Daji said, "I have a picture that I would like to present to Your Majesty."

King Zhou said: "Bring it to me and see."

Daji ordered the officials to cross the painting. When King Zhou saw the painting, he saw that it was neither a feather, nor an animal, nor a mountain scene, nor a human figure. The painting on it was four feet and nine feet high, with majestic pavilions, jade buildings, and agates. The railings are built, and the gems and jade make up the pillars. The brilliance appears at night and the auspicious colors shine, and it is named: "Deer Terrace."

Daji reported to King Zhou: "Your Majesty is the most noble of thousands of people. He is the emperor and is rich all over the world. If you don't build this platform, it will not be spectacular. This platform is really the Jade Palace of Yaochi, Langyuan Penglai. Your Majesty will have breakfast and dinner on the platform. There will be fairies of your own." The Immortal has descended. Your Majesty will be able to travel with the real Immortal, and your life will be prolonged, and your salary will be endless. Your Majesty and your concubine will share blessings and hope to enjoy the wealth and honor in the world."

After King Zhou saw the deer platform, he felt happy. However, at a glance, he knew that the deer platform was huge and could not be built by ordinary people. Then he said to Daji: "This project is a huge one. Who should be ordered to supervise its construction?"

When Daji saw that King Zhou agreed, she couldn't help but go forward and say: "This work requires someone with exquisite talents, a deep understanding of yin and yang, and a good understanding of the people who are in trouble. Looking at it as a foolish concubine, I have to be a doctor like Jiang Shang."

King Zhou also knew that Jiang Shang had special skills and could indeed create this stage, so he sent an edict to his attendants: "I'm announcing to the official Jiang Shang."

At this time, Jiang Shang was a guest in Bigan Mansion, and people could not find Jiang Shang. Hearing from his wife Feng that Jiang Shang had gone to Bigan Mansion, they went to Bigan Mansion to summon Jiang Shang. Bigan hurriedly accepted the order.

The envoy said: "The decree is announced to Dr. Jiang Shang." After hearing this, Ziya hurriedly accepted the decree and thanked him, saying: "Lord Angel, you can go to the Meridian Gate first, and you will be here as soon as possible."

When the envoy left, Ziya felt uneasy, so he asked Bigan for some dry money. The wooden basin started a dark lesson, and the hexagram showed bad luck, indicating the misfortune of today. Then Bi Gan thanked him and said: "Jiang Shanghe was greatly helped by the great master, and taught me morning and night. I didn't expect to see you again today. I don't know when I can repay this kindness and virtue."

Bigan saw that Jiang Shang was chattering and said such words just a moment later. He was puzzled and asked: "Why did you say this, sir?" Ziya explained to him: "Shangzhan Fate, the Lord is not good today, it will be harmful but not beneficial, and it will be bad but not good."

After Bigan thought for a while, he comforted Jiang Shang and said, "Sir, you are not an admonishing officer, and you have only been in office for a short time. Why should you be so obedient as to be obedient to me?"

But Ziya didn't listen. He had studied Taoism with Yuxu Palace for forty years. Although he had no chance of immortality, he still had some Taoism. He was very proficient in the six arts of Taoism. Of course, he didn't listen to Bigan's advice and said: "There is still a card. Under the inkstone in the study room, the prime minister is in great danger and there is no explanation. Looking at this letter, the common people can escape the danger. This is a humble duty to repay the prime minister's death. From now on, I don't know when I can see him again. Honor your face?”

Ziya made a speech, and Bi Gan couldn't bear it: "If there is a disaster for you, sir, I will be able to protect you when I come to see you." Ziya said, "It's been like this. There is no need to work, it will only harm others."

Seeing that Jiang Shang insisted on doing this, Bigan had no choice but to send Ziya out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, mount his horse and go to the Meridian Gate, and then go straight to Zhaixing Tower to wait for the order. After being sent to the Zhaixing Tower to see the emperor, the king said, "You and I will do the work for you and build the deer platform. When you succeed, I will be rewarded and appointed as an official. I will never break my promise. Here is the plan."

Ziya looked at it and saw that it was four feet and nine feet high. There were beautiful buildings and jade buildings on top, and the pavilions and halls had double eaves. The railings were made of agate, and the pillars were made of precious jade. After reading it, Ziya thought to himself: "Chaoge is not a place where I have lived for a long time, and I will use my words to understand this foolish king. The foolish king will definitely not listen and get angry, so I can escape and hide. Why not?"

With this in mind, after Jiang Shang thanked King Zhou, he returned home and talked to Feng Xiang, a foreigner from Song Dynasty, about today's events. He said that he was a disaster rather than a blessing, which meant he was leaving the court. Although this Song Yiren is a businessman, he also knows right from wrong and good from bad. Knowing that if Jiang Shang really built the Lutai, his reputation would be ruined, and he didn't know how much pain he would suffer in the future. After arranging money and clothing with Jiang Shang, he agreed to leave quietly.

But Mrs. Feng refused. She was a person who was greedy for wealth and wealth. She heard that Jiang Shang was leaving and would no longer be an official. How could she agree? She had a row with Jiang Shang all night. It was said that if Jiang Shang wanted to leave, he had to write a divorce letter with her, and he made numerous demands.

After dawn, Jiang Shang had no choice but to write a letter of divorce to Feng Gao, and accepted all the money and things given by King Zhou of the mansion to Feng. Feng Gao was speechless. Jiang Shang left Chaoge and traveled around, making a living by telling fortunes. Although he is not an immortal, he can still be regarded as a monk. He drinks the wind and eats the dew. He just feels that he is happy not being a minister of King Zhou. After walking like this for several years, his horizons gradually broaden.

One day, Jiang Shang arrived in Xiqi. He saw the simple folk customs and the virtuous kings here. He suddenly remembered that when he left Yuxu Palace, his teacher once said to him: "When the Tang Dynasty is about to be exhausted, there will be a phoenix singing in Xiqi, and the Zhou Dynasty will be in full swing!" Another great calamity is about to occur, and the gods will commit murder!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Shang understood that Chengtang was probably going to be replaced by this Western Zhou Dynasty. Yuanshi Tianzun once said to himself that he had no destiny in his life and that he should enjoy the blessings of the general. Now that he has this realization today, is it possible that he has a destiny with this Ji Zhougao?

Thinking of this, he secretly learned a lesson: the hexagrams indicate that there will be a calamity in Xibo Hou, which is a bad omen. But within the bad omen there is a great potential for good, which is sharp and irresistible. After getting this hexagram, Jiang Shang thought hard for several months, and then he finally realized that the calamity of Xibohou was a sign of the rise of Xiqi, so he lived secretly outside Xiqi City, accompanying himself with mountains and rocks every day.

Besides, Daji failed to frame Jiang Shang, and she heard that Jiang Shang escaped without a trace. In addition, his friend returned to his roots, and soon he would regain his body, and the desire to take revenge against the Pipa Spirit gradually faded away.

One day, Daji thought that she wanted to destroy Chengtang Sheji. Although she had won King Zhou and lost the people's support, she had achieved very little. He couldn't help but focus on the military generals in the court, hoping to dissociate these military officers from King Zhou. In this way, King Zhou's military preparedness would gradually disappear, and someone with evil intentions would surely take advantage of the situation and start trouble.

Daji didn't want to just let it go. This idea together really made the Yin merchants struggle to death, alienated the civil and military forces, and made the feudal lords more and more powerful.
