Chapter 590 Song of the Three Immortals Entering the Court

The young Ji Dan picked up the memorial and looked at it, with a smile in his clear eyes.

There were two memorials. The first one was to report that the eldest prince Zi Qi intended to recruit the Jiang family of Dong Bohou to join the family. The Jiang family was the head of the eight hundred princes and had a decisive influence in the Shang Kingdom.

The second report is that Li Jing and other eight Eastern Pass generals have arrived outside Chaoge City and are waiting to be received by His Majesty the Prince.

"You can still laugh."

Donghuang Taiyi said calmly:

"It doesn't matter what happened to Ziqi, he can't afford to cause any trouble.

"There is no need to worry about the Jiang family, I have agreed to marry Dong Bohou's daughter, even though she is just twelve or thirteen years old, it will take a few more years to marry her.

“On the other hand, these eight general soldiers, who hold millions of troops in the east, cannot cause any trouble.

"Unless the king has issued an order, the generals are not allowed to come to the royal city. These generals hold real power. The purpose of setting up generals stationed abroad is to prevent the princes from causing rebellion. The troops and horses in the east are under their control. They cannot move easily, and it is difficult to prevent them from entering the city. Returning is a bit of a headache.”

Li Ping'an said sternly: "Your Highness, the previous king issued an order, why is it not a king's order?"

"It's better not to go overboard at this moment."

Donghuang Taiyi said seriously:

"Especially you and I don't know why these general soldiers are here."

Li Ping'an smiled and said: "Perhaps they saw that the weather was going to change here, so they came here to take a walk in advance?"

Several ministers looked at each other and each pondered.

Li Ping'an added: "Actually, there is no need to worry about this matter at all. Your Highness can send an envoy to find these eight general soldiers and tell them that the king is in a coma and cannot issue royal orders. You can send one person to Chaoge City to inform them. They are responsible for any possible consequences of trespassing into Chaoge City."

Donghuang Taiyi pondered: "Will they agree?"

"How will your Highness know if you don't try?"

A minister said slowly: "Li Jing, the commander-in-chief of Chentangguan, has resisted Dongyi and made many military exploits over the years. He has been awarded many times by the king. He is the most famous among the eight commanders."

Another minister said: "I have also heard of the name of Li Jing. He was a godlike warrior and brave and good at fighting. He once broke into the Dongyi barbarian army on a single horse and took the leader's head. Now all the tribes of Dongyi have heard of him." Name and color change."

Li Ping'an laughed secretly in his heart.

Although the Juetian Formation suppressed the Qi Refiner's cultivation, after being suppressed, Li Jing could still have combat power above that of an immortal. It would be just a joke to charge among the mortal army.

Donghuang Tai said: "So, this Li Jing is still a fierce general of our Dashang guarding the border, so how should I give him a reward?"

"Your Highness, the Commander-in-Chief is already the highest military rank in the land, and others can only be granted the title of Marquis."

"According to our practice in the Great Shang Dynasty, Li Jing can be granted the title of Marquis after his death. Only if his son inherits the position of Commander-in-Chief and is also brave and good at fighting and has made outstanding military exploits can he be granted the title of Marquis."

"The purpose of the general army is to guard against the princes. If they become princes, we, the great merchants, will really have no soldiers to use."

Several ministers spoke one after another.

That means that it is best not to give too many rewards to Li Jing. Li Jing is not a businessman either.

Donghuang Taiyi nodded slowly. He was good at showing off, but he respected the opinions of these ministers.

"Ji Dan, why are you laughing next to me?"

"Eh? Am I smiling?" Li Ping'an raised his hand and touched his chin.

Donghuang Taiyi leaned back: "You were obviously smiling just now. Okay, you are the messenger. It was you who came up with the idea anyway."

Li Ping'an Shiran stood up and cupped his hands towards Donghuang Taiyi: "Thank you for your highness's trust. Although I have just recovered from a serious illness and am weak, your highness has given orders, so I can only work hard."

"Go ahead, you!"

Donghuang Taiyi kicked him, and young Ji Dan left the study dejectedly.

Several ministers in the room smiled and said nothing.

There was a minister here called Shang Rong. He was a wise minister of the Shang Kingdom. He had assisted Emperor Yi for decades and was in charge of the country's rituals and music. He was also the one who persuaded Emperor Yi to abandon his son and establish him as his eldest son.

After Ji Dan left, Shang Rong's expression changed slightly and he whispered:

"Your Highness is a little too fond of Ji Dan. Although Ji Dan is sensitive, eager to learn, and smart, he comes from the Xibohou Mansion after all.

"Xi Bo Hou Ji Li, a tiger and wolf warrior, was born among the Qiang people and hunted the Qiang people for rewards. He became famous within a few years of entering Chaoge City. When Ji Li was alive, the territory of the Zhou Kingdom expanded more than ten times!

"Your Majesty initially supported Ji Li so that Zhou could have enough troops to capture the Qiang people, and he never wanted to raise tigers to cause trouble.

"After His Majesty punished Ji Li, the current Xibo Hou Jichang has been very cautious. He has not said a single insult in the past twenty years. His character is really terrible. His son Ji Dan is such a monster. He can resolve unjust cases at the age of five and eight years old. He is capable of deciding state affairs, but he is only a young man now, but he is already your highness's guest.

"As it concerns the future of businessmen, this matter must be guarded against."

After hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi's smile became even stronger.

He said disapprovingly: "It is a taboo for a king to kill a meritorious minister for no fault. If you are not confident that you can suppress such a capable minister, then there is no need to use it at all. I am confident that I can suppress Ji Dan, and he is not ambitious. People, don’t worry.”

Shang Rong nodded slowly when he heard this and said in a low voice: "I have a granddaughter who is about the same age as Ji Dan. She is very beautiful and has read a lot. Should I give it to Ji Dan to monitor his daily behavior?"

Several veterans on the side couldn't bear it anymore.

This old guy is still a thief.

Want to recruit Ji Dan as your grandson-in-law without saying a word?

"Look at him like that. If he touches women again, he might not survive until twenty."

Donghuang Taiyi waved his hand:

“Let’s talk about this in a few years.

"Ji Dan is quite talented. You have all seen the reforms he wrote before. He is a great talent for governing the world.

"There are still several young girls in the royal family. When he reaches the age of marriage, we will study how to grant him marriage.

"As for the matter between Xibo Hou and him, they don't communicate with each other for many letters on weekdays. His elder brother Ji Kao also meets him once a month. He entered the palace at the age of five and should not have much memory of Xibo Hou Mansion. Don't worry too much."

The ministers could only nod in response.

Donghuang Taiyi said: "Let's continue to talk about the previous things."

"Your Highness, I still don't quite understand why the people in the city have to dig holes..."

"What if there is a natural disaster?"

Donghuang Taiyi organized his words and said slowly:

"For example, fireballs suddenly fell from the sky, and the earth suddenly shook violently. At this time, hiding in a solid hole, wouldn't it be possible to survive?"

Several ministers were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Your Highness, why did a fireball suddenly fall from the sky?"

"Yes, Your Highness, our Great Shang respects the Heaven, and all the previous kings have entered the heaven and become the ministers that the Heaven relies on. The Heaven should not blame us for no reason."

The Heaven?

Donghuang Taiyi curled his lips slightly.

The real name of the current Heaven is Li Ping'an. I have met him once. He is very handsome and has some skills in dealing with things, but his words are too harsh.

There will be more than just fireballs in the future.

When the ancient great powers fought, they would grab a small world and smash it at the other party, and the karma generated by smashing the small world would be shared by both sides.

Even if there is a great formation of absolute heaven to protect this side, if the two sects of Chan and Jie really fight, a magic weapon will accidentally fall, and hundreds of thousands of people in this city will probably die.

However, these things cannot be explained to these ministers at all.

Donghuang Taiyi could only say: "I had a dream before. Several ancestors appeared and told me that some natural disasters might happen next. They said that a rebel army appeared in the heaven and tried to overthrow the heaven."

The old ministers stared in silence.

The King of Shang had the sole right to interpret the myths of the Shang Kingdom, which was the basis for the Shang people to rule the world.

Zi Shou was about to take office. No matter how absurd his words were, they, the ministers, had to believe them.

Shang Rong sighed: "It seems that the heaven also has many princes who are too powerful to be eliminated."

"Everyone continue to think about how to get the people in the city to dig more caves and store enough food and clean water in the caves."

Donghuang Taiyi scratched his brows with his fingers.

He regretted sending Ji Dan to meet those eastern generals in a hurry.

If Ji Dan were here, he would definitely have all kinds of ideas.

...

Chaoge City is really prosperous.

Apart from the slaughter street on the west side of the palace, this place can almost meet all Li Ping'an's imaginations of the ancient slave society.

The carriage he was riding in, escorted by a large number of soldiers, quickly rushed towards the East Gate.

The main road in Chaoge City is more than ten feet wide. In the middle is a lane reserved for the princes and nobles, and on the left and right sides are passages reserved for the common people.

Slaves?

Slaves are not allowed to go on the main road by themselves.

At this moment, Li Ping'an's carriage passed by, and at some intersections, he could still see the figures of slaves kneeling and worshiping.

Li Ping'an was almost numb to such situations.

The biggest problem of Nanzhou civilization now is still the issue of human sacrifice. First, abolish human sacrifice, and then talk about stepping out of slavery.

Isn't it the same in Dongzhou?

Mortals admire immortals. As long as they are doing well, who doesn't have a large number of mortal "slaves"?

However, Nanzhou relies on artificial division of classes, while Dongzhou relies on the psychology of admiring the strong.

In fact, he has tried in the past few years to spread some "relatively dangerous" ideas in Chaoge City that are "relatively dangerous" to this world. It can't be said that the effect is very small, but it can only be said that it is useless.

To achieve social change, the entire social system often needs to move forward. When contradictions accumulate to a certain extent, a hero will raise his arm and call for action.

The hero's raising his arm is actually just the final move to ignite the fire of change.

Li Pingan thought about this question quietly.

Suddenly, Li Pingan's heart trembled slightly, and he felt a pair of sharp eyes like hawks staring at him on the side of the road.

Li Pingan's immortal consciousness probed back and saw a figure wearing a cloak and a hat, walking slowly from the edge of the road, as if locking onto his frame.

Interesting.

Li Pingan's fingers tucked into his sleeves gently moved, and then he understood the other party's identity.

Monster.

Brought by Lu Ya?

Could it be that Lu Ya had found out that the most trusted human race of Donghuang Taiyi was a handsome and unparalleled young man, so he wanted to kill this young man or replace him?

Li Pingan was not in a hurry at all. He picked up the bamboo slips stored aside and began to appreciate the words of these merchants.

The carriage traveled for another half an hour, and was still a long way from the East City Gate.

Another monster appeared, and like the previous monster, it stared at Ji Dan's carriage.

The beasts pulling the carriage began to get restless.

Their senses were much more sensitive than humans, and in their perception, there were now two huge beasts approaching them slowly.

These beasts could not help but speed up.

The speed of the entire convoy also increased, and the frame that had been improved by Li Pingan for "shock absorption" began to tremble and shake.

Li Pingan continued to read his book and did not pay much attention to the matter.

If these monsters dared to attack his little clone directly;

then he would directly show up in person to kill Lu Ya.

Calculate...

They have been bullied to the head, and there is no need to calculate.

...

At the same time.

At the west gate of Chaoge City.

Jiang Shang wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up at the clear sky.

He was looking for the rumored Juetian formation, but unfortunately, his cultivation was limited and he could not see the thin wall of light at all.

Jiang Shang was extremely uncomfortable now. It was extremely difficult to fly in the clouds. If it were not for his three senior brothers to take him with him, he would have to run on the ground for several days and nights from the west to Chaoge City.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly in his part.

Jiang Shang successfully got the documents for entering the city and turned to Huang Long, Tai Yi, and Yu Ding who were standing behind him.

"Senior Brother, we can enter the city."

In order not to cause panic among the mortals in Nanzhou and respond to the heavenly rules and regulations of the Heavenly Court on "protecting the pure Nanzhou", they all made some casual clothes before appearing.

Tai Yi Zhenren took off his favorite red robe and changed into a light blue long gown.

Huang Long Zhenren and Yu Ding Zhenren were also dressed in similar clothes.

At this moment, the three big men of the Chan Sect stepped forward, their feet stained with dust and their bodies stained with dirt, focusing on being down-to-earth.

"Thank you, Junior Brother Jiang Shang."

Huang Long Zhenren took the bamboo strips with a smile and distributed them to Tai Yi Zhenren and Yu Ding Zhenren, then went to the city gate passage where the common people walked, and quietly lined up to enter the city.

Tai Yi said with a smile: "Do we have to go through so much trouble? Several people from the Jie Sect may have entered, and didn't the eldest brother and his friends also enter the city."

"This is called the rules," Huang Long said seriously, "We came here this time to have a dignified dialogue with the ancient emperor of heaven. Everything must be aboveboard. If we do it secretly, it will only bring down the reputation of our Yuxu Palace."

Yu Ding Zhenren looked around with interest: "This place is quite good, but people are divided into different levels, and some people can't even stand up after kneeling."

"This is something that Ping An has to worry about, so let's not worry about it."

Tai Yi Zhenren yawned:

"Senior Brother, Junior Brother, we will enter the city later. We should be alert. Lu Ya may be hiding here. He has the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife, which is quite tricky. "

Huang Long Zhenren sighed: "That is really a good treasure."

Tai Yi smiled slyly: "Brother, don't you have several spiritual treasures?"

"Hey," Huang Long Zhenren shook his head, "How can those treasures of mine compare with the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife? Last time I fought with Ma Yuan, I almost suffered a big loss."

Yu Ding said in a deep voice: "Try not to start the fight later. If we really have to fight, we must at least leave the city. There are too many mortals here."

"Good."

"Okay!"

"Are we going to fight later?" Jiang Shang turned his head and asked nervously.

Tai Yi Zhenren said seriously: "Otherwise, why did we bring Junior Brother here? Junior Brother is the main force in the fight."

Jiang Shang immediately straightened his chest and raised his head, and his whole body was full of a sense of responsibility.

Yu Ding Zhenren suddenly frowned.

He looked towards the city, his sight quickly stretched out to an unknown distance, locked on Ji Dan's carriage, and then looked to the left and right, the two figures that were chasing the carriage at full speed.

Big monster?

Jade Ding Zhenren thought for a moment, made a spell, and immediately closed his eyes to rest.

A shadow flew out of his forehead in an instant, passed through the prosperous Chaoge City, and stood on the roof of the carriage.

The shadow looked around, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and a light shout did not alarm any mortal, but exploded in the ears of the two big monsters.

"Evil beast."
