Chapter 143: The meeting of princes
The great merchants conduct self-examination because they are worried that Chanjiao will start from within and ruin the whole country.
Then, if you don’t check it, you won’t know. If you check it, you will be shocked. There are indeed many disciples of princes in Dashang who worship Jinxian Chanjiao as their teacher.
Huang Feihu’s eldest son, Huang Tianhua, was one of them. He was taken away by Chanjiao Jinxian at the age of three.
What kind of concept is this? What does a three-year-old child know? He has been taught by the Golden Immortal Chanjiao for hundreds of thousands of years. I am afraid it is distorted from the root.
Not to mention asking him to be anti-business, even asking him to be anti-parents, I guess he won't hesitate.
Ever since he learned that the saint of Chanjiao was dissatisfied with Dashang, Huang Feihu secretly wrote to Huang Tianhua, hinting that he would go down the mountain and return home as soon as possible.
However, hundreds of years have passed, and Huang Tianhua still has not come down the mountain. Such an attitude really made Huang Feihu's heart twitch.
It was hard for him not to suspect that the eldest son, for whom he had high hopes, was probably really brainwashed by Chanjiao and stood on the opposite side of Dashang.
It was precisely because of doubt in his heart that Huang Feihu panicked when Ao Bing said this. He did not want to believe this fact.
"Marquis Wu, I am the one who provoked the relationship between your father and son. It is better to cultivate kindness than to give birth to kindness. Don't you understand this principle?"
"Although Huang Tianhua was born to you, he was raised by Master Qingxu." You can imagine how important the two of them are in his heart."
Ao Bing said this not to hurt Huang Feihu, but mainly to cause trouble for Chanjiao.
Huang Feihu gave his son to Master Qingxu for instruction in the hope that he would become an immortal in the future. But the result was not good. Under the careful guidance of Master Qingxu, his son became his enemy.
Deliberately teaching someone else’s son to become an enemy, what Master Qingxu did was so disgusting. If word spreads, his reputation will be ruined, and even the reputation of Chanjiao will be affected.
Once the reputation of Chanjiao was bad, Ao Bing could do more. To put it simply, it is to legitimately exclude the disciples of Chanjiao from all aspects.
For example, after the Immortal Alliance is established, Ao Bing can completely ban them from expressing opinions on anything, or even ban them directly on the grounds that the Golden Immortal of Interpretation and Teaching has ruined our Taoist reputation and is actually a shame for our Immortal Way. Kicked out of the Immortal Alliance and isolated from the Immortal Way.
After all, Chanjiao is also the true teaching of Taoism and an example of immortality. If the reputation of Chanjiao is not ruined first, then Ao Bing will be the first to compete with him for dominance, let alone exclude them. No matter what he does, he will be the first to compete with him. Yes, it is to teach disciples.
Everything must be done with a name. If the name is not correct, the words will not be smooth. Only by destroying the reputation of Chanjiao can their legitimacy be abolished. Otherwise, Ao Bing's plan in the Immortal Path may very well serve as a wedding dress for Chanjiao.
Yuanshi Tianzun is the supreme among immortals, and his disciples naturally have the great righteousness to lead the immortal way. This point is incomparable to the disciples of Jie Jiao.
Because of this, Ao Bing wanted to ruin the reputation of Chanjiao and then abolish its great principles. If the disciples of Chanjiu are all notorious people, let’s see how they can set an example for the immortal way and control the immortals.
Here I would also like to thank Chanjiao Jinxian for his indiscretion in doing things, so that there was black information everywhere. If not for this, it would not be easy for Ao Bing to ruin their reputation.
Now, he only needs to truthfully tell the victims what Chanjiao Jinxian has done, and he can ruin their reputation to the greatest extent.
Just like what he said to Huang Feihu at this moment. The son was taught crookedly by Qingxu Zhenren, and he might even turn into an enemy later on. Can Huang Feihu not hate him in his heart? Can you not complain?
He will definitely launch a revenge campaign, and regardless of whether his revenge is successful or not, Ao Bing's goal has been achieved.
What Master Qingxu has done will inevitably spread and be known to more people. It is hard to imagine whether his reputation will be bad.
"Huang will handle this matter himself, so I won't bother Uncle Long."
Huang Feihu knew that what Ao Bing said was right, but he didn't want to listen any more, so, I heard him change the subject and asked proactively:
"I dare to ask Mr. Long, do you know why the sage is dissatisfied with me, the great merchant, and says that I am exhausted?"
This The question can be said to be the most concerned question among the whole business. They asked themselves, they had never offended the Yuanshi Saint, so how could they provoke him to say such cruel words as "Chengtang Qi was exhausted" and so on, which cursed people and ruined the country.
"This is the secret of immortality and cannot be explained to mortals. All you need to know is that our church has always been on the side of Dashang."
Ao Bing really knows the specific reason, but he cannot explain.
It's very simple. He can't tell Huang Feihu that the reason why Dashang was targeted by Yuanshi Tianzun was because he was implicated by Jiejiao.
Da Shang was supported by Jie Jiao and was deeply involved with Jie Jiao. If the Great Shang is destroyed, the cause and effect will bite back, and Jie Jiao will not feel well either.
Therefore, if Chanjiao sends people to overthrow Dashang, Jiejiao will never sit idly by and ignore it, and will definitely send people to rescue him.
Then, the Jie Jiao disciples will be dragged into the tribulation one after another, fighting with the Chan Jiao disciples, helping them complete the Immortal God Killing Tribulation and fill up the list of gods.
It can be seen from here that the reason why Dashang was targeted by Chanjiao was because he was implicated by Jiejiao. Without targeting Dashang, how can we drag Jiejiao into trouble?
This is why the Conferring God Killing Tribulation must use Dashang as the battlefield. It is to use Dashang to drag the following Jiejiao into the killing calamity.
The Jie Jiao disciples did not commit any murderous calamity. They did not find any reason to drag them into the water, and allowed them to retreat in the dojo to avoid the calamity. The Chan Jiao disciples could not fill up the list of gods and end the Immortal God Killing Calamity. .
Of course, Dashang also had his own problems, too much luck and too much power.
He actually holds the power to become a god and interferes with the way of heaven with his human nature. This is a taboo, and it is natural for him to be targeted by heaven and take the opportunity to take back his authority.
However, although Ao Bing knew these reasons, it was difficult to say them out. Telling Dashang the truth will not only not solve the problem, but will deepen the gap between Dashang and Jiejiao.
In this case, it is better not to say anything.
"In fact, according to the rules, even saying that Chengtang Qi is approaching is not allowed to be said."
"It is because Nezha has a perverse personality and is lawless that he dares to declare it to If it were anyone else, I would rather die than say it.”
"However, not long after Nezha finished speaking, he suffered retribution. Not only was his body destroyed, but his master was beheaded and his father was imprisoned. It can be said that his family was ruined."
Afraid that Huang Feihu would continue to question, Ao C added another sentence, using Nezha’s experience to hint at the terrible consequences of him revealing the secret.
"That being the case, I won't ask anymore. It's a pity that Nezha died too early and didn't reveal more information."
Huang Feihu also knew the taboos of the Immortal Way, and when he saw Ao Bing, he didn't ask. Kenduo said that it was not easy for him to continue questioning. But fortunately, at least they got the good news that the Jie Church was on their side, so it wasn't all a gain.
It's a pity that Nezha is dead, otherwise, there should be a lot of things to say from his mouth.
"How can the general trend of heaven be changed by just one word?"
Ao Bing shook his head when he heard this. The killing and catastrophe of immortals and gods is determined by the law of heaven and cannot be changed at all.
Not to mention that Nezha only said half of the sentence that Chengtang Qi was exhausted. Even if he said the second half of the sentence, that the sage ordered him to assist Xiqi and help Zhou conquer Shang, nothing would be changed.
Can Emperor Shang kill Xibohou because of these words? Obviously not. It's not that he doesn't want to kill, it's that he can't kill.
The Zhou Kingdom is the strongest vassal state. If the Shang Emperor kills Xi Bohou, the Zhou Kingdom will rebel. But if the Zhou Dynasty rebelled, even if the merchants could be pacified, they would still be defeated miserably, and their vitality would inevitably be severely damaged.
There are more than just Zhou kingdoms among the princes in the world. If the great merchants were seriously injured due to the crusade against the Zhou Kingdom, one can imagine what would happen next, as their territory would inevitably be divided up by the other princes.
So, even if he knew that the Zhou Dynasty was rebelling, the best the Shang Emperor could do was to imprison Xibohou, and it was impossible to kill him.
It is easy to kill him, but the consequences of killing him are not something that today's big businessmen can bear. "Da Shang just handles his own affairs. If disciples of Chanjiao come to make trouble, I, a disciple of Jiejiao, are free to come forward and deal with it." Therefore, Ao Bing took over the matter in an all-round way, saying that the merchants did not need to worry about teaching, as everything would be under their control.
"Since the disciples of Chanjiao will come to rescue people, I won't take Li Jing back, and leave it all to Uncle Long."
After knowing that Li Jing had a good background, Huang Feihu gave up the idea of taking him back to Chaoge. The thought turned to another thing:
"The sacrificial inscription sung by Long Bo earlier at Chentangguan was, 'The destiny black bird descended and gave birth to Shang'. I don't know what the name of this inscription is?" Long Bo, can you let me make a copy of it and bring it back to Chao Ge?”
This is the purpose of Huang Feihu’s coming here, to bring back Xuanniao Wen. For this reason, he stayed in Chentangguan for a hundred years.
As many years as Ao Bing had been in seclusion, Huang Feihu had been waiting at Chentangguan. Only a few months after the incident, he led his troops to Chentangguan to investigate the situation, and asked Ao Bing for the "Xuanniao" article.
But who would have thought that as soon as he arrived here, he would learn that Ao Bing was in retreat. He had no choice but to wait for Ao Bing to come out of seclusion, and this wait would take more than a hundred years.
Until a few hours ago, when he learned the news that Ao Bing had left the customs, he did not dare to delay at all, and immediately led his army to rush over as quickly as possible.
"Shang Song·Xuanniao?"
After thinking about it for a moment, Ao Bing understood Huang Feihu's intention.
As the saying goes, literature can carry the Tao. Although Shang Song·Xuanniao is just a sacrificial article, the content recorded in it can touch the hearts of the people of the great Shang Dynasty.
This article praised Di Wuding's achievements and described the grand occasion of the Great Shang Dynasty at its peak. When the people of the Great Shang Dynasty heard about it, they all yearned for it.
And the people's hearts are the will of God, and touching the hearts of the people is touching the will of God.
Therefore, when the black bird appears, it can resonate with the national destiny of Dashang, thereby enhancing the power of the destiny black bird and improving the strength of Dashang.
For the great merchants, the black bird article was a strategic weapon. It was enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple and often chanted. It could enhance the national destiny. It was natural to find a way to obtain such an important treasure.
“That’s what the king wants, and I will naturally respond to it.”
After thinking about it, Ao Bing took out a pen and paper, waved his hand, and copied "Ode to Shang Xuanniao" using innate divine script in front of Huang Feihu.
That is to say, calligraphy has not yet emerged at this time. Otherwise, whoever sees the word Ao Bing would not say a word.
“Thank you so much, Mr. Long Bo!”
Seeing this, Huang Feihu thanked Ao Bing, carefully rolled up the black bird script, and put it in the prepared wood to reach the sky. In the wooden box made.
The most important treasure of the country must of course be treated with extreme caution.
"The emergence of paper and pen has greatly facilitated writing. The work of Long Bo is no less than that of the ancient sages."
After putting away the Xuanniao Wen, Huang Feihu said sincerely to the paper and pen he had seen earlier He praised Ao Bing.
At this time, even bamboo slips had just appeared, let alone paper and pen. Ao Bing's making of pens and paper was regarded by the world as an achievement comparable to that of the sages.
"Unfortunately, the cost is too high and cannot be popularized, so it cannot be widely used."
Ao Bing replied very disapprovingly. He ordered the artificial paper to be very good, and the good one can Carrying magical powers, it can be used directly as a talisman.
But just because it is so good, the cost is so high that it cannot be reduced and cannot be popularized.
Paper is used to spread words. If it is not popular, how useful is it? Therefore, Ao Bing was very dissatisfied.
"Uncle Long cares about the common people, and Huang admires him."
Huang Feihu was shocked when he heard Ao Bing's emotion, and couldn't help but admire him from the bottom of his heart.
The value of the human dragon paper is so high that even with his status, he should use it sparingly. If it were him, with such a treasure, he would definitely try his best to make money.
But Ao Bing, on the other hand, actually put aside the huge benefits and instead wanted to reduce the costs and benefit more people. Such pure thoughts are rare in this day and age.
The more so, the more valuable it is.
"Don't say anything about flattering me. Do you have anything else to do? If not, you can leave. I will continue to retreat to sort out the harvest."
Having said all that needed to be said, Ao Bing began to issue eviction orders.
"One more thing. In a hundred years, it will be the day when the princes will gather for alliance. The princes from all over the country will go to Dashang. The king praised Mr. Long Bo for his merits. He hopes to see you. I hope Mr. Long Bo will not be absent."
At this time, Huang Feihu said quickly.
The alliance between princes is a rule passed down from the time of the Yellow Emperor. At that time, it was once every ten thousand years. When it was spread to Dashang, it became once every thousand years.
Nominally, the meeting of the princes was an opportunity for the Shang Emperor and the princes not to see each other for many years to connect with each other.
In fact, the so-called alliance of princes means that princes from all over the country go to Chaoge to report to Emperor Shang whether their situation is stronger or weaker than before.
Then, based on the reports from various princes, the Shang Emperor decided whether their subsequent tribute share would be increased or decreased, or should remain the same.
In addition, many systems of Dashang were also established when the princes met for alliance. It can be said that the alliance between princes is very important, and its results can affect the development of the country.
"After a hundred years?"
"Please also ask Wuhou to tell the king that I will definitely attend the appointment on time."
After thinking about it, Ao Bing nodded.
He must go to this meeting of the princes, and all the princes happen to be there. He can take this opportunity to bring up the matter of revising the history of the human race.
In this way, he can not only achieve his purpose of compiling history, but also improve his prestige and prepare for becoming a powerful minister in the future. It can be said to be two birds with one stone.
At the same time, Ao Bing had a vague hunch that if Su Hou did not come to the alliance of princes this time, the Shang Emperor might use this as an excuse to send troops to attack Su State.
The Soviet Union will definitely lose in this battle.
The next step is for the nine-tailed fox to enter the palace.
